SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

May 17

Someone says: “Build, build! Make a road! Clear the way, remove the rocks from the road my people will travel.”  A Message from the high and towering God, who lives in Eternity, whose name is Holy: “I live in the high and holy places, but also with the low-spirited, the spirit-crushed, And what I do is put new spirit in them, get them up and on their feet again.  For I’m not going to haul people into court endlessly, I’m not going to be angry forever. Otherwise, people would lose heart.  These souls I created would tire out and give up.  I was angry, good and angry, because of Israel’s sins.  I struck him hard and turned away in anger, while he kept at his stubborn, willful ways.  When I looked again and saw what he was doing, I decided to heal him, lead him, and comfort him, creating a new language of praise for the mourners.  Peace to the far-off, peace to the near-at-hand,” says God—“and yes, I will heal them.

Isaiah 57:14-19 (MSG)

Sometimes Revival starts with clearing the roadblocks that have been choking your spirit for years. Isaiah declares, “Build up, build up, prepare the road,” reminding us that God is still in the business of healing, restoring, and reviving those who have been crushed by life. What is High and Lifted Up is not disconnected from broken people—God says He dwells with the humble and wounded to breathe life back into them. For a people who have carried generational pain while still finding ways to sing, build, and survive, this is your reminder that healing is holy and restoration is possible. Dream Big, because Revival means your future does not have to be limited by the wounds of your past. Decide To Become someone who releases bitterness, embraces healing, and makes room for God to rebuild what was damaged. Demonstrate Your Power by healing openly, loving deeply, and helping clear pathways for others to rise, because when restoration reaches a community, everything begins to lift High and Lifted Up.
