The Scales are Tipping

This morning in the shower I heard, "The scales are tipping in your favor."


"Lord, is this word for me or the Body of Christ?"


"The Body. Write the vision."


So later I sat down to write the vision. Only there wasn't a vision, just a word initially. So I got quiet and still. I closed my eyes and asked the Lord to show me the vision.


I saw a giant set of scales towering over the landscape of America. I heard babies crying and mothers crying. I felt anxiety as I contemplated the plight of the poor and even middle class. (This word isn't about classes but is aimed at socioeconomic situations.) I saw a father sitting at a table with a stack of bills in one hand and a handgun in the other. His face was scrunched with anguish, the pain of not being adequate, not being able to provide, not being able to make ends meet. I rested on this image and saw suddenly his whole body relax and his hand let go of the pistol. Relief. A deep breath. The mothers are breathing a sigh of relief now, too. The babies and children are being comforted by their parents, still sniffling but their tears drying.


"Holy Spirit, what is this?"


"This is the pain of abuse, oppression, pressure, materialism, self-effort, generational ignorance. (My people die for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6) But I, the Lord, have heard their cries and collected their tears. I have let the oppressor of My children have his way long enough. I'm tipping the scales back in the favor of My beloved sons and daughters. Even those who do not yet know Me personally as Father, they will receive blessing. I am merciful and mighty and I'm blowing My Wind (Spirit) across the land, going from house to house, restoring the ruins of a once great nation. This is a kairos moment of recompense. A breath of fresh air. Life, and life more abundantly for so many that have felt the pain and oppression and burden of carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. The Holy Spirit is blowing a renewed ability to relinquish the yoke of bondage across the land. Many will come back to the foot of the cross. Many will lay down their burdens for the yoke of Jesus, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Families will be able to breathe a collective sigh of relief as they begin to hunger to reprioritize overfull schedules and fleeting financial obligations. Many single moms and dads, widows, and the elderly will all be caught up in this Wind of refreshing as well. Negative bank accounts will be back in the positive and food will once again be on tables and in bellies."


"The enemy has been weighed and found to be lacking. The gig is up. The game is over. The day of the Lord is upon the land, a day where mercy and favor will come and overtake His children in waves of love and relief. The Lord is the Lord over all, including the scales of this world."


"The scales are tipping in your favor. Take heart, the Lord is on your side."


"Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours." Isaiah 61:7
"The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey." Exodus 3:7-8
"The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; on them he has set the world." 1 Samuel 2:7-8

This word was received on July 9, 2025. When I asked the Lord when to release it, He said, "Hold for one week". So I'm releasing it no, on July 17, 2025. This is the first prophetic word I've gotten with instructions to write and release.
