To Those Who Have Ears to Hear

A Word for This Hour and Season 🕊️ April 18, 2026

Beloved of the Father,

There is a sound in the Spirit right now, and if you are still enough, you will hear it. It is not loud. It is not frantic. It is the quiet, unmistakable voice of the One who says, "Be still, and know that I am God."

We are living in a threshold season — a crossing-over time. The old is passing. The new is rising. And the Father is speaking one thing over His children with a clarity that cannot be mistaken:

"Behold My glory."

Not tomorrow. Not when everything is resolved. Not when the paperwork is signed or the relationships are healed or the money is in the account. Now. In the middle of the unfinished. In the middle of the waiting. In the middle of the wrestling with things that have not yet come to pass.

Behold His glory.

Here is what I am hearing the Spirit say in this hour:

FIRST, CEASE STRIVING.

The enemy has convinced many of God's children that if we just push harder, pray longer, fast more, figure it out then we will unlock the breakthrough. But the Father is saying, "Rafa, cease striving. Put down the weapons. Take your hands off the steering wheel. Trust that I am God even when things seem to be falling apart."

SECOND, BEHOLD HIS GLORY.

Fix your eyes on Jesus, the radiance of the Father's glory and the exact imprint of His nature. Hebrews 1:3

He is not distant. He is intimate. He upholds all things by the word of His power including you and I, including our story, including the things we cannot see unfolding behind the veil.

THIRD, BECOME A MERCY BEARER.

As you behold His glory, you will be transformed from glory to glory into the same image.

2 Corinthians 3:18; And what you become is what you carry: mercy. You become the polished mirror. You become the one who reflects His chesed ❤️‍🔥 His steadfast, covenant love 🕊️ onto every person, every family, every city the Father brings to your gate.

Mercy bearers do not measure who deserves mercy. They extend it.

Mercy bearers do not adjudicate the coldness of others. They reflect the warmth of the Father.

Mercy bearers do not wait until they feel strong enough or healed enough or ready enough. They show up even broken, in process, still becoming because the mercy is not theirs. It is His, flowing through them.

If your heart aches for those who have wounded you and not yet come to repentance mercy bearer, that ache is the Father's ache. Carry it to Him, not against them.

If you are weary of waiting for promises to manifest mercy bearer, the vision is for an appointed time. Wait for it as It will speak. It will not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it. Habakkuk 2:3

If you feel you are walking as two people in one body with the old name and the new, the buried self and the resurrected self, the man or woman you used to be and the beloved child of God that you are becoming—His mercy bearer, He sees both. He is not confused. The paperwork of earth does not invalidate the naming of those who have been registered as born in zion and abiding in heaven.

And so the call of this hour is simple:

Be still.

Behold His glory.

Become a mercy bearer.

Gather with those who hear the same sound.

Because the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14. And that filling begins with one heart fixed on Him and then another, and another, until the Kahal rises and the Name of YHWH is proclaimed from one generation to the next.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is speaking to His children.

The Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and give thee peace. I bless you in the name of the Lord.

Eternally Your Sister,

Sarah Abigail
