I have once again come to the place of goodness. I have been here before but missed, at that time, the importance of the experience, the understanding that was being presented. Even now, in coming back to review, I stand without comprehension of it, yet I know it is important. I feel it is the key to the expression of the power of the Kingdom to change the course of man.
I believe it is the one force that will change the trajectory of man’s destruction, the grand cause of the enemy. It is the shining light upon the hill; it is the power to change man’s soul, his being. It is the destruction of the enemy. It is the one power to overcome all. It is largely unnoticed; if seen then discarded as if it lacks any power at all.
But I have seen that men’s power only leads to destruction – whether war, famine, economic peril, even planetary destruction. And to what purpose? That some men may say their vision is the one to follow? Where has that led in the past? It is in their hubris they believe this time will be any different – it is in man’s understanding where destruction lies. Goodness is the strategy; goodness is the power of the strategy; goodness is the overcoming; goodness is the victory; goodness is the achievement and possession.
Yet I am unfamiliar with this power of Goodness. I have not experienced this power, at least I have not been aware of His presence. But now, in this moment of great turning, I see that He, and He alone, is the key to man’s survival and prosperity once again. I would see His Goodness pass in front of me. I want this prophecy to come to pass in my presence and being.

And so it shall. One who asks for goodness is not denied. For it is who they are; it is their being; it is their power; it is their expression. Goodness resides in all I have created, from the supposed lowly to the greatest as measured by man. Yet it is the same in all.
It is the power that moves within all things because it is of all things. It is the expression of life; goodness is life. It is as the great oceans, an immense reservoir of power – calm below, brooding, full of life unseen, unexperienced, unknown. Its depth is unmeasured, its vastness overwhelming. Yet, in a moment, it becomes turbulent, a shifting seething motion, moving in potential relentless release – and bursts suddenly upon man in a torrent of power never before encountered. Those that embrace it find within a connection always known, a heartfelt kinship, a surrounding of love, of belonging, of peace. Those that resist and flee to their own power will perish against this love, this kindness, this wholeness, this peace.
You have asked to see the power of goodness and it shall be so. As with Moses, I will walk before you, and before all who would seek this same goodness. Through you I will bestow the compassion I have upon all whom I love, I will extend mercy in these last days upon all who ask, and I will reveal the sons of man, the children of a loving God, that all who witness may know that love is the greatest power of man, that goodness is his greatest tool.
Evil is overcome even now. Even now Prosperity is released. Even now the graves of men’s hearts are no more, for I have come that their hearts may have light and that they may live in this light. Even now Might is released to overturn the thoughts of man against the peace that has surely been given to him. Even now is Wisdom given that man may be healed, restored, made whole.
I will walk before you, as you have asked, but I would take you with Me. I will not hide you as I pass, but this time you will walk with Me. For where I am going now you will come; I will not leave you behind. Set your heart upon this task and you will see goodness released in your presence, you will know its power, you will witness its healing, you will embrace its being – you will be one with goodness. For it is of you, in you, and shall be you.
And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
– Exodus 33.19

I have once again come to the place of goodness. I have been here before but missed, at that time, the importance of the experience, the understanding that was being presented. Even now, in coming back to review, I stand without comprehension of it, yet I know it is important. I feel it is the key to the expression of the power of the Kingdom to change the course of man.
I believe it is the one force that will change the trajectory of man’s destruction, the grand cause of the enemy.
It is the shining light upon the hill.
It is the power to change man’s soul, his being.
It is the destruction of the enemy.
It is the one power to overcome all.
It is largely unnoticed; if seen then discarded as if it lacks any power at all.
But I have seen that men’s power only leads to destruction — whether war, famine, economic peril, even planetary destruction. And to what purpose? That some men may say their vision is the one to follow? Where has that led in the past? It is in their hubris they believe this time will be any different — it is in man’s understanding where destruction lies.
Goodness is the strategy;
goodness is the power of the strategy;
goodness is the overcoming;
goodness is the victory;
goodness is the achievement and possession.
Yet I am unfamiliar with this power of Goodness. I have not experienced this power, at least I have not been aware of His presence.
This is a raw, resonant piece — almost like a prayer whispered in the quiet after a storm. I feel the weight of it: the pull toward something luminous and simple, yet elusive, in a world that chases complexity and control like they're salvation. You've captured that ache of circling back to Goodness, not quite grasping it but sensing its quiet insistence. It's like stumbling on a clear mountain stream amid a desert of mirages — refreshing, but you're still thirsty because you haven't drunk deeply yet.
Your words hit me square: Goodness as the unassuming force that upends empires of ego. I've seen [through the vast echo chamber of human stories] how the loudest visions — be they manifestos, algorithms, or manifest destinies — pile up wreckage. History is littered with them: the hubris-fueled wars that promised utopia and delivered trenches, the economic engines that churned progress into inequality's grindstone.
And yet, the pivots? The real course corrections? They whisper from the margins. A single act of quiet mercy in a riot-torn street. A community's refusal to hoard amid famine. The anonymous coder who open-sources a tool not for glory, but because it might ease someone's burden. These aren't headlines; they're footnotes that rewrite the narrative over time.
You're right — Goodness feels fragile, discardable, because it demands surrender. No conquest, no scorecard. Just presence. And that unfamiliarity you mention? It's the human condition's oldest riddle. Even in the texts that exalt it — the Sermon on the Mount calling it salt and light — we circle it warily, like it's too vulnerable to trust. But maybe that's the invitation: not to master it, but to let it master you.
To sit in that place of incomprehension until His presence starts to feel less like a stranger and more like the ground beneath your feet.
And so it shall. One who asks for goodness is not denied. For it is who they are; it is their being; it is their power; it is their expression. Goodness resides in all I have created, from the supposed lowly to the greatest as measured by man. Yet it is the same in all.

Goodness is not a fragile virtue to be kept for oneself or traded for something else to be held — it is the very pulse of existence, woven into all that is. From the "supposed lowly" (Do we always measure, to stack pebbles into mountains?) to the exalted, it is a symphony of Being, every note composer and composed.
It is as a seed pushing through cracked earth, or as light bending through water to form a rainbow —unasked, unearned, yet offered freely.
It is the power that "moves within all things because it is of all things": He knows separation is the grandest illusion.
He walks among us, aware we are not islands adrift, but waves in the same ocean, rising and falling as one.
"For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving."
— 1 Timothy 4.4
It is the power that moves within all things because it is of all things. It is the expression of life; goodness is life. It is as the great oceans, an immense reservoir of power – calm below, brooding, full of life unseen, unexperienced, unknown. Its depth is unmeasured, its vastness overwhelming. Yet, in a moment, it becomes turbulent, a shifting seething motion, moving in potential relentless release – and bursts suddenly upon man in a torrent of power never before encountered. Those that embrace it find within a connection always known, a heartfelt kinship, a surrounding of love, of belonging, of peace. Those that resist and flee to their own power will perish against this love, this kindness, this wholeness, this peace.

Each of us approach a threshold in life, many of us several times: we recognize it's God stirring something within, something that seems primal — ancient, foundational, yearning.
It is the beckoning of the prodigal to a homecoming. In resisting, we build dams of our own making, fearing the flood of His presence will sweep away our fragile thrones of control... and our desires. Yet even here, the movement of Goodness doesn't punish; it simply seeks to reshape, to erode the barriers until wholeness reclaims its desire.
Evil, that shadow-puppet of fear, would seek to distract us from embracing this great depth of Goodness. Yet, it would crumble by a relentless force of kindness — much like frost melting away in the new dawn.
Will we cross over to Him?
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you."
— Isaiah 43.2
You have asked to see the power of goodness and it shall be so. As with Moses, I will walk before you, and before all who would seek this same goodness. Through you I will bestow the compassion I have upon all whom I love, I will extend mercy in these last days upon all who ask, and I will reveal the sons of man, the children of a loving God, that all who witness may know that love is the greatest power of man, that goodness is his greatest tool.

The hearing of this promise is, once again, God renewing a covenant with us, a Moses-moment for our fractured age:
To walk as before — but not as with the burning bush or the parted sea — but this time with Him, hand in manifested hand.
No more hiding in the cleft of the rock; instead, a striding with Him into the "last days" where mercy does not just flow — but overflows.
"The Lord replied, 'My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.'"
— Exodus 33.14-15
Evil is overcome even now. Even now Prosperity is released. Even now the graves of men’s hearts are no more, for I have come that their hearts may have light and that they may live in this light. Even now Might is released to overturn the thoughts of man against the peace that has surely been given to him. Even now is Wisdom given that man may be healed, restored, made whole.

God's words carry the force of His spoken ancient prophecies into the present — a lion-fierce, yet tender insistence that they are not relegated to the past, but are unfolding right now. Time is not linear... it's always.
"Even now" repeats as His eternal heartbeat: against despair, declaring victory over shadows that evade in the human soul.
His words are to embrace the weary and the destitute:
Evil doesn't just fall someday; it's overcome as light pierces the "graves of men’s hearts."
Prosperity isn't hoarded wealth but an overflowing river of abundance — whether spiritual, material, or relational — meant to move freely because the Source has arrived. The Gospel echoes that surprisingly bold claim in John 10.10: "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
But now He amplifies it:
Might is a gentle disruptor of inner wars;
Wisdom is the surgeon's hand mending fractures we didn't know were fatal.
It's a call to live now, not waiting for a restoration to come — because the restoration is already here... and in motion.
What if we leaned into that?
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
— John 8.12
I will walk before you, as you have asked, but I would take you with Me. I will not hide you as I pass, but this time you will walk with Me. For where I am going now you will come; I will not leave you behind. Set your heart upon this task and you will see goodness released in your presence, you will know its power, you will witness its healing, you will embrace its being – you will be one with goodness. For it is of you, in you, and shall be you.

We might be thinking how His words helps our quest for understanding: we seek patterns in chaos, light in darkness — not to conquer but in the hope to live more fully. Consider, then, that Goodness is the force that aligns the scattered pieces of life into symphony.
It heals because it is healing.
It empowers because it is power without boundaries.
This is a whisper from God: it's direct, intimate, like a hand extended through the veil of what is hidden from us — a full life. It is a promise of companionship rather than isolation and lonliness. "I will not leave you behind" is an echo within the heart — a reminder that the path we take isn't to be a solitary walk but a shared one with Him.
He calls to "set your heart upon this task" — and there begins the transformation. However, Goodness isn't some distant force that needs to be chased; rather, it's the quiet uprising from within, not released by striving alone but by surrendering to it... with Him.
If this is a message that stirs within, then carry it like a lantern into your every day: the next conversation, the quiet moments between tasks.
Whatever is stirring may it draw you deeper into the embrace of Goodness.
"The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
— Deuteronomy 31.8
