Night Encounter — January 21, 2025

During a night encounter on January 21, 2025, a short lyric fragment surfaced with clarity. There was no surrounding imagery or narrative—only the phrase itself, received as a statement rather than a buildup.

As with other lyric-based night encounters, the Spirit emphasized a fragment rather than the full song. Interpretation followed waking discernment.

"It's been a long time."

The Spirit framed the lyric as recognition rather than rebuke.

The phrase acknowledged a period of dormancy without assigning failure. What had been quiet was not lost; it had been waiting. The encounter clarified that delay does not cancel calling—it prepares it.

The emphasis was not urgency, but readiness. Momentum was returning naturally, not through effort, but through timing.

This was not a command to manufacture energy. It was confirmation that reactivation was already underway.

"Though the vision lingers, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."
— Habakkuk 2:3

Scripture anchors the encounter: fulfillment follows appointed timing, not impatience.

Attend to areas that have felt quiet without assuming they are finished. When movement begins, respond without forcing speed. Allow momentum to emerge in step with God's timing.
