Month: April 2023

A Word For Canada & America!

 

In 2022, a prophecy was given regarding “Fires of Awakening coming to the East Coast of America. The Lord then showed another prophet in Florida, the Angel of Awakening stepping on the shores of Florida, and when he did, a fire ignited and ran up the eastern corridor of America from Miami to Maine! 

Prophetic intercessors mobilized and in obedience to God began to pray about these revelations and a series of meetings called The Baton of Awakening started in Florida, traveling up the I-95 to Main a Baton was passed at every meeting. It was then noted that the I-95 continued into New Brunswick Canada for 9 miles, stopping in the city of Woodstock. 

Upon researching the Prophetic History of Canada, one of the leaders of the movement found an article I had written previously called, Canada: God’s Chosen Anchor Runner where, I shared that the Baton would be passed by America to Canada. The Lord had revealed that Canada was the last runner in a Movement of God coming into the nation from the Eastgate in a Divine circuit that first began in Israel and would end in Israel.  It was then decided that the meetings would continue into Canada and a baton was to be passed into the nation of Canada from America. 

A historic meeting was held in Woodstock, New Brunswick on January 23/23. Fifteen states from the East Coast of the United States along with Pastors and leaders from the Maritime region, and Ontario, in agreement declared a word of awakening over Canada. A Baton was passed to key leaders of the region.

A few months later, on Passover April 2023 I attended a conference this time in Woodstock Ontario, meant to rally the troops for Canada. I received a vision during a very anointed time of worship. The vision confirmed revelation that the Lord had been giving leading up to Passover and this conference. I was shown that Passover 2023 was going to be a very unique and significant. The Lord had prepared a company of warriors servants who had willingly walked through the fires of preparation, had detached themselves from worldly desires, had disentangled themselves from civilian life to become drafted into God’s, Kingdom Battalion, a reserve prepared for the hour. Prior to this conference, I had spoken many times, encouraging the others to not miss this opportunity to press through the threshold and pass through the gate into a new age, and a new era of history—into a season of great warfare and of great Glory.

During worship at the conference, I had a vision and saw a very large company of warriors on horseback with Jesus leading at the head. The entire company followed the lead of Jesus in a quiet, deliberate saunter, crossing over and passing through to take history captive to the will of the King. The atmosphere was surreal and misty, carrying great power, authority, and significance.

There was no anxiety, no bluster only absolute piece, emboldened by fierce determination. The armies of God we’re on the move. A scattered ragtag army had been transformed into a Royal Brigade, branded and marked with the seal of the King on their foreheads. It was a moment characterized by great signs or wonders and power moves of the Spirit as we have known in the past. However, I believe the moment marked a notable shift for the history of Canada. The King began to ride, and strategies were about to be implemented. Locations were being marked for battle and hubs secured for Glory. Ministries were discharged and bold voices sent to release the voice of the Lord.

Canada has a significant prophetic destiny as has been prophesied by many leaders over the last century. I believe that God will now be breathing on and activating all past prophetic words given over the nation as His purposes now erupt from the soil of this nation. I asked the Lord the significance of both cities of Woodstock, He said, I have found wood in Woodstock, wood that represents My servants in this nation, wood that I can use to start a Fire of Awakening across the nation.

A generation has risen across Canada, a headstone or last stone generation prepared and outfitted to be the last runner, that runs the last leg of the race, completing a Divine circuit that hands the baton back to Israel where the race first began 2000 years ago.

“Canada has been ordained by God for a special work, to play a critical role in the outworking of God’s plan to unveil the Bride of Christ in preparation for union with the Bridegroom. This nation has an ambassadorial call to apostolic leadership, to represent God’s strategies for the closing of this age, and for the unification of the Body of Christ in its transformation into the Bride of Christ! (From previous article)

The Lord would say to Canada, “This nation has been set apart by Me and for Me as an instrument for global execution of My will. An apostolic prophetic five-fold company from this nation will work with Me to complete the building work of My House and prepare the nations with key revelations needed to set the stage for the summing up of all things in Me. Great grace will rest upon Canada for this work to bring forth the Head Stone (Zech. 4:7).

You have crossed over! You have crossed over with strength to conquer; do so with confidence as I am giving you your land. I will now cause My people to possess their promises and occupy territory for the Kingdom. Learn to differentiate between your personal battle for territory and the corporate national battle. They are different. Your personal battle to possess the promises is assured. You have fought well and will receive your just reward.

The corporate citywide and national campaign has begun. We will war for two things as we move together to push back the darkness. I am after MY HARVEST, and I intend to build MY HOUSE. Never forget that My House is made of living stones precious to Me. My House will come forth as I have purposed. I am the Architect! It will be a house prepared in Glory for Me! I am releasing My apostolic builders to build, releasing My apostolic generals to lead the battle and I am releasing gatherers to gather with me in the fields. Work begins now! Keep your eyes on Me always. Know that I am fully and fiercely invested in you and forever with you! Don’t doubt or be shaken by anything you see as I rise to shake rotten foundations and world systems crash. Remember always, It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

The road marked by red batons from Florida up to New Brunswick Canada, along the I-95 was prepared in obedience to My word and shall receive the promise. The States and Provinces marked by Eastern Daylight Time are about to receive the Glory as promised… spreading toward the West. My Presence will be felt along the I-95 corridor and into all of the highways and byways across Canada.”

The Israel of God – The Ark of God!

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Galatians 6:15

“For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Galatians 6:15

The Israel of God is the Ark of God prepared for the salvation of mankind! Scriptures show that those in Christ, have been grafted into this Container or Vine, and according to Galatians 3:7, have become sons of Abraham.

“And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree…” Romans 11:17

The Israel of God is the Container fashioned and prepared to host the Gentile saints and the great Harvest that has been invited in, coming in at the end of the age. The Scriptures tell us that blindness happens to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in (Rom. 11:25). The word fullness in this passage is pleroma and refers to a container being filled to its fullness. This ties in with Romans 11:12 where the same word pleroma is used.

“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!” Romans 11:11-12

God made promises to Abraham, to Isaac, and then to Jacob that the entire world would be blessed in them. In light of the priceless Gift of Christ and the massive blessings that have come to the world through Israel, God has said that any who curse them would also be cursed (Num. 24:9).

“Also the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.” Deuteronomy 30:7

In this season of maturation and of everything being gathered in and summed up in Christ, eyes will be opened to see and understand God’s plan in Israel. Everyone will be given the option to get into the Ark of the Israel of God as Jeshua and Israel are one—Prince of God—the Body prepared for Christ.

At the council of Nicea in Rome, the enemy was very successful in dividing the early church birthed in Jerusalem. The intention was to divide and conquer; to separate the Gentile converts from Israel—God’s container fashioned in the image of His Son—the Jewish Messiah—is the skin of the New Wineskin and the epicenter of His work on Earth. God has given great grace to Gentile Saints to function and grow while separated from Israel… for a time. At the end of the age, He will be saying to all, “Get out of Babylon and Get into the Ark I have prepared!”

“…having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.” Ephesians 1:9

Israel Called as Kings & Priests Represented in the Five-Fold

God established the priesthood of Israel to minister to Him and also to minister before Him on behalf of the people. The kings of Israel were intended to rule on behalf of God and His Kingdom. They were given Kingdom authority to legislate both in the spiritual realm, the heavens, and in the natural realm through prayer, intercession, and decree. Israel was given both offices to administrate the will of almighty God and his purposes on earth and the heavenly realms from a land marked off as His portion.

Israel stood before God also as a prophet nation, Prophesying the will of God to mankind and recording it for all future generations. Israel was positioned by God to be the Teacher—God’s Rabbi, established to bring revelation and understanding of the Word of God to mankind. Israel was the Shepherd pastor, ordained by God to pastor His flock—the saints of God on earth. Israel was God’s evangelist, authorized by God to bring salvation to the world (Isaiah 26 and Jn. 4:22, Rom. 1:16). Israel was also the apostle of God, sent to represent Christ to build, plant, establish, and administrate His House on Earth.

These five facets or offices of God represent Christ the Messiah positioned in Israel. All five offices were embedded within Israel as God’s first Ekklesia, established on earth to represent the Kingdom of God. Israel was prepared as the Body and container for the King—the High Priest the Messiah—The Great Apostle of the faith, the Teacher, the Great Shepherd, and the beautiful feet of the Evangelist carrying the Good News of the Gospel of Christ.

Israel fell short of their Call and Mandate, as each facet of the Call represented Jesus and could only be administered in the power of the Holy Spirit. The old covenant was deficient in many aspects, but God’s covenant with Israel stands and continues eternally. Through the prophet Isaiah, God promised the coming of the Messiah for salvation; through Jeremiah, He promised the coming of the New Covenant with Israel, and through the prophet Joel, the coming of the Holy Spirit.

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel because he has come to his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David… to give His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins…” Luke 1:68-69,77

Throughout scripture, God has always promised to be Israel’s great Redeemer and Savior. He will never break His Covenant. He is not a man that he should lie. His mercy endures forever toward Israel and is eternal. Israel and Jesus cannot be separated, they are eternally bound in Body and Spirit.

“Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins… for God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” Romans 11:25-27

Wherever Israel was positioned in the nations, they stood as Princes of the Kingdom. Their very presence in the nations was as dew on that particular land that extended mercy from the King. When they were rejected by a nation and expelled, judgment was soon to follow on that nation.  During their season of blindness, God has always kept a witness in Israel to keep the fires burning God gave a sign to the Maccabees, the last holdout to Rome, that the oil—the Glory would never go out.

Another aspect of Israel’s place in God’s purposes is seen in Jerusalem—The City of God. At the end of the age, the gathering of all things is to Jerusalem, a natural entity to which He will return and the Spiritual entity that is eternal—the Bride of Christ. Abraham was promised descendants numbering the stars of Heaven representing the finished work of God.  In the architectural blueprint of this Heavenly City, God shows that all its measurements represent Israel—its walls, the foundation of its walls, and its gates—the entrances into the City. Each gate was made of one pearl and named after one of the twelve tribes of Israel (Rev. 21:9-27). Entrance into the City, the Ark of God is through the gates of Israel.

Paul recognized that something had been deposited and established in Jerusalem even though he said the apostles there added nothing to him. Wherever the saints assembled they carried with them the authority of the Kingdom which was centered in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is not abandoned! It is only a matter of God’s timing—in the fullness of time, when He turns once again to Jerusalem in preparation for His return.

God’s regathering of the Jews to Israel from the nations of the world is the fulfillment of prophecy and a clear sign that we are approaching the end of the age. The Jews have returned to the land! They have reclaimed Jerusalem. The time is, therefore, very close! We have been praying for the harvest and the harvest is now. The scriptures say that the harvest is the end of the age. Scripture states that blindness in part has happened to Israel until. The time of until is now! There is a generation of Jewish sons and daughters rising up today declaring the word of the Lord and releasing the cry, “Blessed it is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

The climax of the Jewish situation, to be summed up in Christ in the last days, was layered into prophecy and recorded in scripture by Hosea. As Jeremiah 14:16 marked Israel’s second return to the land, one of the prophecies given by Hosea, marked the completion of their journey and entry into the Promised Land of Christ—where He returns to rule and reign in the City of Jerusalem.

“Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3

This prophecy is about to be fulfilled in the near future, as according to 2 Peter 3:8, a day is to the Lord as a thousand years. Using Peter’s measurement, two thousand years after the time of Jesus’ ascension, or the destruction of Jerusalem, brings us to approximately somewhere between the years 2030-70.

Israel is both a natural and spiritual entity, formed and fashioned by God the Father for His Son’s first coming and as the vessel for the return of His Son to Earth: “…a body You have prepared for Me… I have come to do Your will O God” (Heb. 10:5-7). The Body and vessel in which Jesus chose to tabernacle with humanity, fashioned and prepared by the Father, over two thousand years for His first coming, was Israel. God’s work of building His House continued over another two thousand years after Christ, built by Gentile saints on the Jewish foundation of Jeshua—the Messiah.  Jeshua is the New Wineskin! All attributes of Jeshua are in the DNA of the New Wineskin tabernacled or housed in Israel.

The Israel of God, comprising both Jew and Gentile, fashioned within Israel, is the Ark of God for the salvation of the World. Like Noah, God has been patient in fashioning and building this Ark over the centuries to contain the great Harvest grafted in and invited in at the end of the age, “… God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.” (1Peter 3:20).

The Ark is being completed! The Lord is now sounding the trumpet and warning all to: Get into the Ark! This requires a return to Israel in our hearts. The turning begins by honoring Israel’s place and significance in God’s comprehensive and unfolding plan.

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.”  Luke 17:26

“The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation… Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth… And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.”  Genesis 7:1,4,10
