I Am Calling for Another Great Movement of Return!
Hear O Israel! Hear My people! Hear the sound of My voice, hear the sound of My heartbeat calling you home! Hear and hearken. Storms are gathering, and nefarious winds of wickedness are blowing. Wings of Eagles have been sent and shall carry you home if you will but listen. The land of Israel is My portion. I will defend it and I will defend you. None can snatch you out of My hands, and none can thwart My purposes in you. I am Yahweh God and there is none other!
Take heed to the sound of the blowing trumpets! Take heed to my still small voice whispering to you. This is My will! This is My way. Do not fear or be anxious about the way, just obey. The heavenly host shall mark out the way for you. You will be carried by the Wind of My Spirit. Did I not search out places of dwelling for you when you followed me out of Egypt? Trust and obey, I am able to care for you. I am a Good Father who loves you! Do not doubt My love for you or My Providence over the nation of Israel. Come home!
The Eagles will carry you safely to your place. Watch and see the miracles that I will perform to bring you home when you take the small step of faith, My children! I AM waits for you. Angels have been assigned to attend to you upon your arrival. Heed the sound of My call in your spirit and come! Hate is rising on the earth… now growing, and accelerating. They especially hate you because of their great hate for Me. Come in under the shelter of My wings where you will be safe. I AM is your only safe place! Again, I say come home!
I am calling you out from the nations of the world. I’m calling for another great Exodus of My people. I am gathering you to Me because of My Covenant with your forefathers. I am gathering you to the promises I have made to you in My Word. I am not a man that I should lie. Only believe! Here in your land, you are loved and here you are defended. Again, I say come home!
Canada Oh Canada!
Awake, awake Oh Canada. Stand at attention before Me. Fall in line with My will and you will live. I decree that you shall live. You will run, you will mount up, and you will serve Me! Canada, Oh Canada! Hear the sound of My voice! You have been a rebellious nation, a disobedient nation. I am rebuilding your foundations. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of My Throne. They shall be yours also as I take My place and position Myself in your land. A cleansing Fire must come to burn away the impurities and a washing with the water of My Word must come to cleanse your heart!
There are sounds of rumbling beneath the ground in your nation. These are rumblings of your foundations being reconstructed and re-established on My righteousness that they may stand the tests of time. I am moving to drive the stench of the devil from this land. The sounds of crushing are the collapsing and disintegration of demonic systems. Stand and hold fast in the crashing! Hold your position. Yet you must bow the knee to My deep and dreadful work—a work filled with dread by the hosts of wickedness who know their end, and that it is near. Canada, do not fear the enemy or what they think they can do. Fear Me! For I am a Consuming Fire that consumes the very air that they breathe, and they will find themselves gasping for air if they do not turn and repent.
Let the fires begin! The fire will draw the dross of their evil to the surface where they will be exposed for what they are and the evil they intend. Watch for the fires and see what I will do! Do not be alarmed, I am in control, and I alone know what is needed… what is required. I AM the Fire Master—a Worker in fine Gold.
I am building the foundation of this nation to serve Me for a great unique and strange work. The Five Eyes will be overcome by The Seven Eyes of the Stone I will place in this nation. Kingdom intelligence will always trump the intelligence of men and their agencies of destruction and corruption.
I am the Omniscient All-Seeing Eye. The supposed, all-seeing eye of the darkness is easily blinded by My Light and will be overcome by the rising Glory of My Omnipotence over the earth! Holy is My Name! My will shall be done and none can hinder! None can prevent! Watch…be still …and wait for Me!
This year, Israel celebrates 75 years of its Independence as a nation, after close to two thousand years of dispersion following the destruction of the city of Jerusalem by the Romans! In 2023, beginning on May 7th, Five million people globally, comprised of Churches, Leaders and Ministries, have presently united in the Isaiah 62 Fast initiated by Mike Bickle, Leader of IHOPKC. As Mike has said, this initiative, directed by the Lord, is historic and very significant in relation to the times. It is clear that God has raised him up as a leader for this season of history, anointing him with the Issachar anointing that brings understanding of the times. The Lord has also endowed him with the influence and favor needed to now mobilize God’s Global Army into a cohesive force for this battle and the battles ahead.
At a recent event on Passover, I received a vision of the Armies of God crossing over and moving out into a new season characterized by War. This signified the beginning of a Kingdom Campaign comprised of many notable and strategic battles ahead. As I was praying for Israel this morning, The Lord showed me that the Global Isaiah 62 Fast was the first Battle in this Campaign—that salvation, honor and glory is to the Jew first according to Romans 1:16 and 2:10. I believe the Isaiah 62 Fast will be the first in a series of many battles for the Harvesting of the nations. I heard in my spirit, OPERATION: LET MY PEOPLE GO! I believe this is the mandate of this Campaign.
Nations that have mobilized to pray for Israel will attract and receive God’s blessing and favor to become the sheep nations to whom Jesus will say, “…inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me” (Matt. 25:40).
I recently started teaching a seven-part series on our Thursday Headstone Apostolic Hub meetings, a online community gathering of frontliners, sold out to God’s kingdom purposes. Without having planned this, the following three Sessions of the Series, regarding the times in relation to God’s prophetic purposes in Israel, falls into the twenty-one day time slot for the Isaiah 62 Fast. I see the hand of God in this and am posturing myself to understand His will over the weeks ahead!
For the past two decades God has highlighted to me the word UNTIL in all capital letters in Romans 11:25—blindness has happened to Israel UNTIL! The Lord showed that UNTIL represents the momentous, earth-shaking season of history, when He moves to remove the blindness to Jesus the Messiah from Israel’s eyes. This Move will initiate monumental, tectonic shifts in the Earth and in the spiritual realms, causing the ancient spiritual veil over Israel, ingrained in the doctrine of Moses, to tear.
“But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:14-16
I believe that the Isaiah 62 Fast marks the season of UNTIL on God’s timeline as having begun. As millions of people who love, and honor Israel begin to pray for the nation, eyes will begin to open and hearts awaken to Truth. This awakening will trigger a ferocious response from the enemy. All movements of God in Israel over their history have triggered the enemy to shift gears and accelerate attacks and persecution on the people of God. At this time this includes all God’s people grafted into Israel. So all must be fully grounded in the love of God, in their identity in Christ, His power and His authority. To face the challenges ahead we must be firmly anchored in Christ and have confidence in His ability to guide and direct us in every situation we may face.
It is important to now have understanding to discern the times regarding the conflicting movements of revival, awakenings, coupled with persecution. History has shown that times of great revivals and times of increased salvations, usually came in volatile times surrounded by persecution. In the day of Harvest, and the Day of His Power, it is understandable that there will be battles as the enemy will move to protect their prey fiercely and aggressively. However, God declares in His Word that the prey will be taken from the enemy, that they must release their captives (Is. 49:25).
The next seven years of this decade will reveal the dichotomy of the two existing realities of darkness and light co-existing on the world sphere. On one hand we prepare for the worst and on the other we expect God’ absolute best prepared for this end-time generation. We expect God to breakthrough into our lives, to reveal His Son in us that we may rise and face the challenges. He will strengthen us with His peace, joy, and love in all that we do!
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:13
Anti-semitism
Anti-Semitism is in essence rebellion against God’s will and is the anti-Christ spirit of Satan himself. It is a spirit that has become deeply rooted in the psyche of mankind throughout the nations of the world. This phenomenon exists in every nation because wherever there is rebellion against God, a covenant of agreement is entered into with Satan—the one who hates the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.
Anti-Semitism is now increasing exponentially across the Earth. God declared in His Word that when we choose to bless His people Israel, we would be blessed and partake through Jesus, His covenants with Israel and the corresponding promises and blessings.
Many years ago God gave me a startling revelation about anti-semitism. In the book of Deuteronomy God pronounced a curse on all who hate, persecute, and reject Israel. He also decreed that these very same curses would come upon all the nations who chose to curse and persecute Israel.
“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
This is a very sobering scripture, and a stunning revelation, as most nations, cultures and religions have a history of anti-Semitism. Numerous nations have exiled the Jewish people over history! And anti-semitism can be found in the foundation of many denominational churches. Many will therefore have the curses of antisemitism functioning in their generational history. It is important for all intercessors on the frontlines of the battle to ensure that there are no cracks in their foundation generationally, that the enemy could use to entrap them and pull them out of the battle. God inspired me to write a cleansing prayer. SEE PRAYER
As the time of Jesus’ return draws near, the church will need to become more grounded than ever before, in the Father’s sufficiency in all things, and the extreme perfection of His Governance. He is the everlasting God, the Sovereign Lord, the Father of Creation. He is our Strong Tower and our Refuge. In His great providence, He will empower us to discern demonic attacks and provide strategies to break their power and grip over our lives and communities. As we wise take care to prepare ourselves, spirit soul, and body for the struggle ahead there are seven key strategies for victory to consider.
Have no Agreement with the Enemy and the World. Jesus told us, the ruler of this world is coming and he has nothing in Me (Jn. 14:30). In a time of war no soldier can afford to be entangled with the world and with the lusts of the world., or have any place of agreement within them with the enemy’s thinking, words and ways.
The Lord is calling for His people to now separate, detach and come out of Babylon! Begin to Detach from things that tie you to the world as much as you are able; this includes relationships that God is frowning upon. Identify and leave behind all idols in your life.
Get Under Cover! When a storm comes the wise thing to do is to run for cover—a place of safety. I keep seeing a picture of a farmhouse with children playing outside; the skies overhead begin to get dark with clouds as a storm rises in the distance. The mother stands on the porch and shouts to the children to get inside! This is a warning that it is time to get under cover.
Alignment and covering are two different things; both are good and needed! Alignment with anointed Ministries and Networks unites you with their anointing as you receive from those you honor. Covering is a picture of the family. It is your home, a safe place with leadership and others who are trustworthy and with whom you have developed a relationship. Over the Covid years there was a great migration of people leaving churches to go to others or who chose to stay at home. I believe God is drawing us back into families that are a place of protection and fellowship with people who have our back. He will be showing everyone where they belong—if we have humility of heart we will have ears to hear. Find your safe place under the authority of those who love you and have your best interest at heart, who celebrate you and release you to your call and destiny.
Renounce Division: There is tremendous dunamis power in the principle of agreement. The enemy knows this, and that is why his chief strategy is to divide and conquer. In times of persecution, saints must come together and become a body, renounce division, and learn to work together in a corporate union. The power of corporate agreement defeats the enemy. To become one we must resist the temptation to be offended, to be angry, or to be too religious to work with others.
Know The Power of Your Covenant: Understand and apply the power of our Covenant in Christ in His Blood. Revelation of the protection our Covenant provides, causes us to overcome fear and maintain a place of peace and joy that provides the strength to be bold and to persevere.
Release Your Voice: This is the decade of Pey reflecting the voice in Hebrew. Like Jeremiah, God is saying to say to His servants, “Do not fear their faces, for I am with you to deliver you!” Your voice is the weapon of Heaven that tears down strongholds and releases fire to consume sin. Decree the will and the Word of God with courage in any and every arena.
Strengthen And Train Your Spirit: To possess fortitude in the battles ahead your spirit must come to the forefront, subdue the soul and rise to take its place of destiny in God’s will. This comes with time spent in God’s Presence and in the crucible of His Fire where the flesh and soulish empowerment are put to death.
Agree With God: Render powerless the global mind control machine working ferociously to win you over to their narrative. By praying in the Spirit, eating the Word of God, and taking Communion daily we appropriate power and clarity of mind in Christ to resist the demonic communications targeting us through technology and the airwaves. 21st Century Warfare must now be employed against the enemy as it is being employed against us. We are in a new age and warfare has been ramping up against the saints. The full armor of God must become our daily attire as go on the offensive against demonic schemes.
We have entered an epic season of profound intercession in a season of war! There is now coming, a mighty wave of power-backed intercession sweeping across the Global Body of Christ to undergird the work of the Holy Spirit and the angelic host in a partnership to possess the Kingdoms of this earth for God, to release God’s Harvest from captivity—to take captive the enemy’s prey.
Our Intercession must now graduate to the place of tactical accuracy that strikes the target. This comes only through an authentic union with the intercession of Jesus. Jesus is raising up an apostolic/prophetic army that will unite with Him in strategic intercession that brings forth His ends. This Army recognizes that Jesus is our Goshen, our place of refuge, protection, and provision. As we learn to move and have our being in Him we will begin to discern greater dimensions of His being.

“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 Israelare 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, andlet 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,thatwe may live in His sight.Let us know,Letus 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
We are now approaching a critical mass moment in this epoch of history, for a heavenly invasion of planet earth coming with explosive movements of God and sudden atmospheric shifts of Presence and Power. The time of the birth of the fullness of the purposes of God in our lives is now. An apostolic/prophetic body of saints has been made ready for Passover into an offensive move of God. Events will occur to tip the scales of justice for many on the frontlines of the battle.
The training and preparation time is over, and God is saying it is time to break camp, “You have been on this mountain long enough.” I believe it is important in this month to get positioned to give birth, to travail, pray, and push through the gate. This is the month to push—pray until the barriers break open. God says, “Shall I bring to the birth and not cause delivery?”
We are now in God’s completion phase, and He is urging His people to take hold of that for which He has taken hold of them (Phil.3). We each know in our spirits what that is. It is our Passion. The thing that drives and moves us to action. The thing that keeps us awake at night. We are entering a new dynamic where we are being urged to take hold of our destiny, the righteous cause embedded by God in our DNA.
Having A Heart Position for Possessing Your Assignment
We are fashioned and structured architecturally like the temple of God, having an outer court, a holy place, and a holy of holies in our spirits where God dwells. All parts of us were meant to serve the Holy Spirit through our spirit man. That is how we were designed. When we are born again, we enter a new paradigm where our spirits are made perfect. The Holy Spirit resides in our spirit which has become the seat of God’s throne. GOD HAS COME IN—this is an astounding occasion because everything of God is deposited in us! You have now become the fulfillment of God’s new temple where He dwells.
Paul asks the question: “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1Corinthians 3:16
To possess the promises of God requires the understanding of our identity as the Temple in which God resides and an attitude of fierce determination of spirit to press through and conquer. It is important and necessary to conquer the old ways that have kept us trapped and locked into ungodly mindsets to possess the spiritual capacity to see the prize, with a stance fixed on laying hold of that which rightfully belongs to us.
We have not been able to take hold of it in the past because of living from a slave, servant mentality, rooted in an orphan spirit, or by being overly enamored with ourselves, or entrenched in the world systems. I believe God now has a people who are no longer there!
We are leaving the elementary things as it says in Hebrews 6:1 and moving on to maturity. We become those who have tasted or eaten or experienced the good word of God and the powers of the age to come (Heb. 6:5). To possess is to first see the prize with our eyes fixed on laying hold of that which rightfully belongs to us. God is now raising the consciousness of His people to a new level of seeing and perceiving. Take hold of the vision by faith and make it yours as promised by God.
It Is Time For The Execution of The Vision!
After much perseverance and preparation, God is saying it is time for the manifestation of the dream in its fullness; it is time to execute. We prepare ourselves in prayer and fasting until we see the cloud as small as a man’s hand and begin to gird up our loins with expectation. We trust God to open doors and set up Divine appointments on the road ahead. In the timing of God, we are in full expectation mode that attracts what is needed. It is the time of rain and therefore the time to ask for the rain. Supply comes, and human resources come. Finances come. Doors open…we crossover into destiny!
Do you need resources? Resources have been prepared for such a time. As we break through into the fullness of our call, we must remember we are the resource! There is a store and reserve of wealth within us because God has come in! Every resource needed is within you and is available to you. By faith, you can withdraw what is needed when needed. You call it out and call it forth by connecting your faith with the Lord’s faith, as you draw on Heaven’s supply in Christ. We have become partakers of His Divine nature according to 2 Peter 1:4. a partaker is a sharer and an associate. We have been given an inheritance in Christ and have a credit line from the Royal Bank of heaven.
“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory…you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession…
Therefore, Paul’s prayer for us is: that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:11-14,17-23
According to this scripture, everything has already been provided by God and given to you. In Him, you have obtained an inheritance. HAVING BELIEVED, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is the guarantee of our inheritanceuntil the redemption of the purchased possession.Until the redemption, means to go and get it…what has been acquired for you! The inheritance is there in the Bank waiting for a withdrawal. We can now go forth in the power of His Might.
God is saying you have been and are sitting on a Goldmine, on a heavenly vault full of treasure; sitting on everything God has provided for us, oblivious to it. Have we stopped hearing the knocking on our doors? The treasure is ours; we take it by faith, and we receive it by faith. We take it with eyes of faith we see it and we believe it, seeing is believing.
How to unlock the vault!
To appropriate what has already been given to us, we must use the key of praising Him: praising him by faith for what He has given. In the past we may have praised Him for the goldmine without recognizing that we are in possession of it—that it is ours. Or the treasure can be just sitting there, and we are not appropriating or accessing it.We give our time to listening to the fake news coming from our souls—the lies the enemy continually attempts to feed the saints.
There is great power in praise! In praise, Power is released to unlock the door as God inhabits our praise. Praise creates the atmosphere of Jesus where nothing is impossible! To praise God is to give the enemy no place as it pulls the rug out from under him, regardless of what he tries.
In the wilderness years, we get to know God and learn to trust in His love, mercy, and faithfulness. We learn discipline and self-control. It’s a time of cleaning house and preparing for the Glory. We clean house by repentance for sin, unbelief, complaining, contentiousness, and idolatry. However, in the PROMISED LAND we move out and reach out to appropriate what has been provided. We have learned to walk by faith as sons of God and ambassadors of Christ, and we simply conquer and take the land in His might and power.He reigns over the land, and we reign with him.
We are meant to come into our full inheritance in our identity as sons of God. In Him, we reign. Another dimension is calling, beckoning to us to live as Sons of God! We are kings and priests of our God; we are to rise up and reign with Him in this life. No one can do what you do as you represent Christ’s Ministry uniquely, distinctively, and exceptionally. As the Father said to the elder son, He is now saying to us, everything I have belongs to you. You are the resource God has prepared for this era. Everything is written in your heart. You have the goods, and you are the goods. You are it!
“My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS.” Luke 15:31
The time is now to stretch forth and extend your spirit man to reach for it and take possession of it. Reach for it in fasting and prayer. Reach in communion. Reach in worship. Reach in stance and attitude. As you reach forward in faith, the spiritual capacity within you increases giving you the unction to press through the threshold! We expand our capacity to contain Him by consecration, obedience, and holiness. The threshold is the point of entry of the Gate or door before you, the beginning position for the race set before you. It is the threshold of a new age.
Things are about to shift rapidly and accelerate. The day of sorrow and weeping has become the day of faith and strength. The suddenlies of God are upon us. We have been prepared, qualified, and made ready for this and God is announcing the release. Heavenly trumpets are sounding, calling the army divisions to get into position and take their place. The trumpeters—assigned leadership, are sounding the message for troops to be ready to move out! We are moving out onto Holy ground hence the past delay. A vast worldwide army is now primed to move out to possess the promises of God and to gather a multitude of souls into the Kingdom. Lord, release resurrection life, and power that we may now rise to new life in You!
I believe that we are nearing the end of the Messianic age and many of this generation will live to see the Return of Jesus. When I first got saved thirty years ago, God took over my world and completely turned it upside down. It felt as if I was picked up and deposited into boot camp, an intense and accelerated time of teaching and training. One of the first things the Lord said to me was that He was returning. Being a newborn Christian, I did not know how to process that! But over the years I have understood that the Body of Christ is carrying, and in travail to bring forth the Return of Christ! The Spirit and the Bride are groaning in travail for the coming of Jesus! The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” (Rev. 22:17).
In Matthew 24:3 the disciple asks Jesus a poignant question, “…when shall these things be? and what shall bethe sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?”
Jesus, having begun the age of Grace tells the disciples to go and teach all nations during the interim until He returns. “…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20
The word age, the Greek word aion refers specifically to the Messianic period. The word end means the consummation of the age. So, when the times reach their fullness for everything to be summed up in Christ, it means thatit is time for Christ’s return!
“With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”Ephesians 1:10
The word times in this scripture is kairos, meaning due season, or appointed time. The Word fulfillment is pleroma, and means to be crammed full to fullness or completeness. What does this mean? It means that when the appointed time has arrived for something to occur – the season or time has reached its fullness and therefore, times must change! And in regard to this scripture, it means Jesus must return!
In Matthew 24, Jesus answers the disciple’s question about the end of the age and His return:
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”Matthew 24:30
In recent words I have shared, I have been discussing, the seeds of the dreams of God that the Body of Christ is now carrying, that they are Mighty and they are Holy. Therefore, the time of birth does not take place until God gives the word,until He has a people free of rebellion, disobedience, immaturity, and personal agenda; until He sees the surrendered will laid down before Him in humility—at that time the travail will begin. As women played significant roles in birthing the Christ on Earth, they will again play a large part in the travail to birth the return of Christ. Psalm 68 in a prophetic picture of the procession of the King into His sanctuary, Verses 11-17 says:
“The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng …The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.”
This Psalm speaks prophetically of both His first and second coming:
First Coming: Ps. 68:18 “You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious, That the LORD God might dwell there.” (This passage is quoted after Jesus’ ascension in Ephesians 4:8)
Second Coming: Ps. 68:24 “They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.” This scripture prophetically reveals the procession up to Jerusalem where the returning King is seated on His Throne.
Let’s look at a few Scriptures regarding the return of Christ:
“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11
“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. NKJV …And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING. 2Thessalonians 2:1-4 NLT
This is an end of the age passage that culminates with the return of Christ. The Day of the Lord is not past, it is here and its fullness is coming.
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.” Matthew 25:31
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16
When Will These Things happen?
The Scriptures show the shifts in history that have occurred and will occur in the future when the world reaches the fullness of times. These are times depicted by the word until when something significant happens… so let’s look at a few:
“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:38 The world changed radically after that event.
“And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentilesuntil— the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Luke 21:24 This occurred in 1967 when the Israeli army recovered the Temple Mount.
“…that blindness in part has happened to Israel until— the fullness of the Gentiles has COME IN” (Romans 11:25). THE HARVEST comes in at the end of the age when blindness to the Jeshua is removed from Israel and they are restored.
In speaking of Jesus, Acts 3:21 tells us that “… heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” Israel is being prepared for the return of the King.
“…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it untilthe day of Jesus Christ… (Ph. 1:6)” The Body will reach maturity in the stature of Christ in preparation for His return.
Therefore be patient, brethren, untilthe coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.” The Outpouring will come to usher in the Harvest before Christ Returns. James 5:7
“Therefore He shall give them up, untilthe time that she who is in labor has given birth; Then the remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel” (Mic. 5:3). Until reveals the return of Jesus to Israel.
Matthew Henry’s commentary on this passage: This is, perhaps, the most important single prophecy in the Old Testament: it respects the personal character of the Messiah and the discoveries of himself to the world. It distinguishes his human birth from his existence from eternity; it foretells the rejection of the Israelites and Jews for a season, their final restoration, and the universal peace to prevail through the whole earth in the latter days.
When we have arrived at the time of until—when things suddenly shift—the time the Scriptures refer to as the fullness of time; catastrophic world-changing shifts will occur. God will have prepared a people for this time to have fortitude, courage, and wisdom, endowed with the Issachar anointing—possessing the understanding to process the times. They will be undergirded and supported by Him with revelation, understanding, strategy, and direction. During this time Global shifts will occur, global structures will fall, and world systems will crash as new ones emerge. Such world-shaking earthquakes cause history to shift radically birthing new epochs for God’s purposes.
We are now in the closing era of history, living in the time frame of the Fourth Beast as I shared in my last message. It is time to give Him our all, to serve Him wholeheartedly, and submit to Him for His will be done. As we do this, we are hastening the day of His coming as 2 Peter 3:11-12 states:
“Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, WHAT MANNER OF PERSONS OUGHT YOU TO BE in HOLY CONDUCT AND GODLINESS, looking for and HASTENING THE COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?” There is No cheap grace here!
What is Hindering the Lord’s Return?
Many people believe that Jesus could return at any moment. I believe that we are in the season of the summing up of all things in Christ at the end and conclusion of the Messianic age before Christ returns.
I believe we can hasten the day of the Lord’s Return by preparing His way in distinct areas:
A SANCTUARY IS PREPARED to receive Him, one that is built and structured according to His mind and His heart. Can we build it? Can it be any old sanctuary? Of course, the answer is no…yet we try! Only the Holy Spirit can build the House of God as its measurement is Christ.
A BRIDE IS MADE READY without spot through God’s principles of healing, cleansing, and deliverance of all satanic influence through the refining fire of God.
A RESOLUTE COURAGEOUS ARMY IS TRAINED, equipped, and positioned to fight in the great battles to bring in THE GREAT HARVEST, which, according to scripture is at theend of the age (Matt. 13:39).
THE PRINCIPLE OF HONOR, AND THE RELEASE OF THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD, are actively working to bring the Body of Christ into a holy union, agreement, and the fear of the Lord. An honor that we will see restored to Israel.
WOMEN RELEASED coming out from under the oppression of past ages to understand their identity in Christ and step into their assignment as intercessors and midwives are ready for the travail through the birthing of a new era. Women who have embraced the Cross, are fully surrendered and in are in a corporate agreement.
God intends to raise and release an army of warriors who will travail with the Holy Spirit, through the days of awe leading us to the return of Christ and a new era of history. We see this picture in the three final Feasts and the Days of Awe that begin after the sounding of the trumpets at the Feast of Trumpets. Cataclysmic events are rolled out to prepare the world for this global seismic shift into the summing up of the work of God on earth. It is a holy time!
The Breaker Anointing
The Breaker will come to birth these events! God is now about to birth a new thing for a new season, a time imbued with a new mandate and great challenges. Much revelation and strategic direction will come.
“The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the Lord on their head.” Micah 2:13 KJV
The Body of Christ carries the Breaker Anointing, and the Breaker Himself is united with our travail, intercession, and ministry. Jill Austin, a prophet, and apostle who went home to be with the Lord describe the Breaker anointing this way:
“A breaker anointing is a catalytic deposit of the Holy Spirit, where eternity breaks through into the natural realm. It is a holy invasion where the gates of heaven are broken open with visitations of salvation, healing, and deliverance. The breaker anointing is the core anointing of the apostolic Church.”
The Breaker comes to break the amniotic sac to begin the birthing process. After the water breaks contractions follow. The water breaking initiates the labor and comes to facilitate the birth. The word breaker in Hebrew is parats and means to break out, burst out, pass through: to crossover. It is the same word in 2 Samuel 5:20:
“So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, LIKE A BREAKTHROUGH OF WATER.
God is going to send a flood, an outpouring that will break us into a new season. We have arrived at an incredible and significant epoch of history when the magnificent masterpieces of God for the summing up of the age will be birthed into reality by a powerful breaker anointing—the Man Child—the sons of God, The Harvest, The Restoration of Israel, and the Coming of the King to establish his kingdom on Earth!
“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a MAN CHILD… Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: “Shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.” KJV Isaiah 66:7-9
The Breaker is coming to break the amniotic sack! The travail will come in waves as momentum builds and the battles intensify. We must begin to intercede for the coming forth of the Man Child within you and on the Earth. The call on this hour is the travail with the Holy Spirit to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus to show up in our gatherings, in our cities, and in our nations! This message is true for both men and women. I would like to close by reading a passage from Zechariah 14 starting at verse 4.
On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward…
“And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. THEN THE LORD MY GOD WILL COME, AND ALL THE HOLY ONES WITH HIM. On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. And the LORD will be King over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and HIS NAME ONE.” Zechariah 14:4-8
We have entered a season where the path God has prepared before us is holy ground. Those who choose to continue on the journey with the Lord in this new season ahead are presently being consecrated and set apart as holy ground unto the Lord. I heard the Lord say that vessels are being marked, that He is marking those who have chosen the Fire of His Presence over the things of this world. He is moving across the earth and marking Saints who said have said yes to full consecration—He is marking them as Holy ground!
The Lord’s eyes are on the churches that put Him first, where He is acknowledged as Lord in word and deed. He is marking these churches as holy ground. Ministries called forth to serve him with key assignments for this era are being marked as holy ground. The Lord is rising up in His temple; the train of his robe is filling His temple, where all cry, holy holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.
God is presently finishing the final stages of a work in His people; a deep, washing, cleansing, and refining of their hearts. He is removing all the mixture and preparing a people to be fashioned into the platform upon which He will stand to rule and reign in this hour.
The Body of Christ is about to experience a mighty infilling of the Spirit. Holy Spirit is brooding and hovering over people, churches, and ministries. This is a convicting work leading to repentance, the preparation for a great Wind that is about to blow over our nations. The Holy Spirit is God and He is Holy! It is important to give Him His place in our lives and our churches now. The preparations are for this Move, as He is coming in the Spirit ofthe fear of the Lord. In His mercy and His love for us, He is working to remove the mixture that would cause us harm.
“Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5
The Lord is cleansing us for this new Holy path we will walk with Him. Doors are closing and doors are being formed before us. We are now embarking on a journey by a way we have not walked before, into a realm where eye has not seen, nor ear heard what God has prepared ahead—a move staggering in its scope and power—an outpouring of fire and rain.
Becoming the Evidence of His Lordship!
According to Matthew 24:20, the gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony. The word testimony also means to give evidence. The evidence of the Lordship of Christ is to be established in nations, communities, and homes. The Ecclesia is now being released to reveal theevidence of Jesus’ Lordship, by His Presence and Power, in and through them. A people will become the tangible expression of this truth. These will become safe places of refuge from the storms.
How do we establish the evidence of His Lordship? We first build the altar of His Lordship—an altar of praise, worship, and adoration! In doing this, His Throne then becomes secured in our midst. The Presence manifests and becomes evident. The Presence becomes secured. A portal is opened. Angels ascend and descend. Saints become activated in their call and destiny. Assignments are given. We come into spiritual fellowship with the Lord, His Lordship, His dominion, and His authority.
As Jesus began His ministry when he was 30 years old, a body of people are being prepared to go as He did. It is time to begin the work of the Ministry of Christ in union with His heart, mind, and Presence. A Ministry of miracles, signs, and wonders is about to begin, as at the beginning. Under the occupation of Roman persecution, the disciples were trained, mobilized, and released to minister in power. So are we being released to now represent the Ministry of Christ in this time of global persecution. The matter of spiritual position with the Lord, and dominion over the enemy and his power, is by our union with Him through living a crucified life and becoming a living sacrifice for His intentions. These are people who like Moses hunger for the Presence of the Lord. This Holy Ground to Him!
“I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:13-14

As we enter 2023, it will become important to possess an understanding of timings in the movements of God as seen over history. My new book The Lord of Armies provides a broad overview of this seen through the lens of the history of Mystery Babylon. Much of the time people tend to look too closely at the trees and miss the forest—the bigger picture at the back of things. To be aligned with the movements of God and understand His purposes and trajectory through them, it is necessary to look beyond the many crises and current events keeping many trapped in the struggle and complexity of the moment. Humanity is caught in a continuum of what is, what has come before, and what is yet to come in the future. The scriptures say of our God that He is the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end of it all. It says of Jesus that He was, is, and is to come, revealing that there is a remarkable story that has been unfolding, embedded in time and history.
There are certain truths apostolic people of the last day generation must have secured in their DNA, and embedded in their foundations, to stand and complete their race. A key component in the purposes, plans, and movements of God is Israel—they also are the beginning of the work of God, and the end and conclusion of that work. A full understanding of our foundations built in Israel, in Christ, and Israel’s significance to God’s strategies, especially in regard to the consummation of all things, is therefore critical. Without having a firm grasp of the magnitude of this, the enemy will find ways to influence the Gentile church against Israel, for which all people will be judged (Matt. 25:31-46). Equally as important, without this understanding, prophetic perspectives will be skewed leading to errors in the prophetic, especially in relation to timing and eschatology.
The severe consequence of rejecting Israel is given in scripture, on the basis of rebuffing the remarkable Gift of blessings that have been given to the world and believers through Israel—a Gift given by the Hand of Almighty God. God declared in His word that through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the entire world would be blessed. Israel was the first outpost of the Kingdom of Heaven, the first Ecclesia established by God, the future Seat of the Throne of God, the portal connecting Heaven’s rule to Earth through Christ, through whom the Kingdom of God comes to Earth. When nations reject Israel, they are rejecting the Gift of God. In a previous word I wrote I said:
When Jesus was about to ascend, He commanded His disciples to wait for the promise of the Father in Jerusalem—the coming of the Holy Spirit. The disciples knew that the coming power of the Holy Spirit meant, the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel. In Acts 1:4-7 it says they, “therefore asked,”…they asked if it was time for the restoration to begin. Jesus didn’t dispute their claim, and neither did He rebuke them. Both Jesus and the disciples knew that this was His mandate, one that had been declared by the prophets in the Word of God for thousands of centuries—that the Messiah—the King, would rule and reign in righteousness from His throne in Israel. Jesus, therefore, understood their question and answered that the Father alone had the time for that event in His hand. Jesus then gave them instructions to prepare the nations for this event during the interim. He told them to “Go” and set the evidence of His Lordship in every city, of every nation in the world! They went out spreading the truth of Christ, confronting Kings and rulers—the Governments of their day, knowing that as Jesus had said, on the last day all nations would be brought before Him and called to account. A nation’s status as a goat or sheep nation is determined by its treatment of Israel, Jeshua’s Jewish family (Matt. 25:32).
Going forward, the operations of the Spirit must be seen and understood in an eschatological framework, within which there is a consummation and a conclusion that has Israel at its center. All movements are flowing and building toward a conclusion. If all that has been said so far is true, we are on a trajectory where everything is being gathered into and toward that end. A Kingdom is here and is coming. The King will return! He will return to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the center of the counsels of God. All nations and peoples are being weighed accordingly. All of God’s intentions and operations in the nations have Jerusalem at its center. Also, we can be assured that this statement is equally true of Satan’s intentions and operations toward Jerusalem, Israel, the Jewish people and believers who have been grafted in.
UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES IN RELATION TO THE CONTINUUM
The need now is for Apostolic oversight, which holds the perspective and intentions of God as to the continuum of the Alpha and Omega and the place of Israel within it. It must be an oversight that is able to see and comprehend the consummation of the ages and lead the people of God and the armies of God on that trajectory—the need is critical. It is critical to both the campaign of Heaven, and to the people of God—their edification, mobilization, their participation, and their partnership in this notable work.
The times of just sitting in a church on Sunday and being entertained are over. It is crucial that we understand the dynamic of our times. Isaiah 22, which I believe is a passage for the times, reveals that God was not pleased with Israel because they were not discerning their times. Isaiah talks about a day of war, famine, and disease. He goes on to tell them that because of this, God was calling Israel to weep and mourn for the sins of the nation. But instead, they were feasting and drinking, with the attitude that tomorrow we die!
Jesus also spoke to Israel that they were not discerning their times and what lay ahead of them (Matt. 16:3). Luke also brings up this subject of not discerning the times and functioning in the wrong spirit out of time; he quotes Jesus as saying that as in the days of Noah and Lot, where they were eating and drinking suddenly the flood came, and with Lot, fire rained from heaven (Lk.17:26-28).
The scriptures teach that there is a time and a season for everything and for every purpose under heaven. Is anything wrong with feasting, eating, and drinking? It is if this is our focus, and if it’s happening in times when he may be calling us to be sober, discerning, prudent, cautious, and contemplative. In such a time, if God is calling us to take a posture of submission, humility and waiting before His presence for His Word, then we are functioning outside of His timing. I am not saying that we cannot have times of joy in fellowship in crisis, but there should be a recognition of the times we live in. Times of war call for preparation and mobilization, not appeasing our senses.
THE TURNING
Internal spiritual preparation with the purpose of acquiring a spirit of fortitude is essential to one’s ability to stand in times of great shaking and turmoil. This must be true of all leaders who carry the responsibility to steward their times and to warn, teach, and equip the people of God for the volatility of the hour. There are too many believers presently looking for voices that appease because of fear, complacency, or ignorance.
Apostolic leaders are called to oversee the army to ensure that they are equipped with everything needed and that the body is on board with vision and understanding. A body of leaders and apostolic people are now rising, who have moved beyond the need for personal recognition, beyond an unhealthy focus on self and on becoming blessed. THEY HAVE BECOME THE BLESSING! They bring the goods needed for the hour. They are leaders who have gotten over the intoxication of themselves, and have developed a heart turned fully toward God, His Words, and His intentions.
I recently wrote a word that portrayed THE TURNING that God is now requiring. As with Isaac, God sent camels to His Bride, loaded up with His treasures, to adorn her in beauty and in royal garments. The Bride is now returning, or TURNING in His direction toward Him! He sees her coming on camels in the distance fully loaded with His treasures. This New Breed of leaders, that God is now releasing, are the ones who have made THE TURN… TO EYES LOCKED WITH HIS. He has their full attention! They are coming with resources, outfitted to steward their times, having a heart turned toward God’s ends and the movements of the Holy Spirit toward God’s conclusion.
It is important to stop trying to find voices that appease and tickle our ears and search out the voices whose words ring with the weight of the truth of heaven. THE TRUTH CARRIERS ARE COMING, untainted by the world and set apart by God for this time! Much of the world has become a fake world with false values founded on deception. The need is for strong and sure voices who speak and command with Holy Spirit authority.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2Timothy 1:7
If the God of the universe, being an unlimited God, lives within us and seeks to live through us, consequently, we will possess unlimited potential, unlimited authority, and unlimited power in submission to God. There are, therefore, no impossibilities before God. I believe God is moving now to break His people free from old cycles and old belief systems to get His people ready for a season of explosive power ahead! The Battle is fierce; we are in a war and the battle is for the mind of man!
God has Blueprinted and pre-coded a marvelous destiny within us, determined by Him from before time. The enemy has worked aggressively to implant faulty code and error into the DNA structure of generational lines through sin and iniquity. He presently is working to hack the human brain (according to the WEF). Satan is after our DNA in order to bring us harm by manipulating our code and invading our structure to control and alter our destiny.
Because of this, God is presently emphasizing the health of our brains and minds. His intention is to perform a supernatural work to facilitate our thinking processes toward being united with His. His intention is for His people to be able to discern accurately and think critically, that they may rise and stand as the sons of God in this extraordinary hour of history.
The LORD is the Head of the Body; He is the Brain, and He is the Mind. The LORD’s Supernatural Omnipotent Brain is presently creating new neural pathways to bring transformation, regeneration, resurrection power, and Life into our brains, supplying it with the capacity to fully possess the Mind of Christ with all its virtues and power. A neural pathway is a series of connected neurons that send signals from one part of the brain to another. God is sending supernatural signals from His brainto ours to release life and power.
The Lord highlighted the word regeneration to me, it means renewal or restoration of a body part; a body, restored to a better, higher, or more worthy state. He has promised us in His Word the power of a sound mind. A fierce battle is now being waged for control of the mind and the brain of the Body of Christ! Alzheimer’s and Dementia, lies, confusion, and the demonic distortion of truth are on the rise. The spoken lie is given power when received and can become a curse that steals health, potential, the wonderful possibilities of a life, and its true destiny in God.
According to scripture, when we commit our actions and decisions unto God, He will establish our thoughts—He directs our thinking (Prov. 16:3). The word thought in this passage is the Hebrew word machashabah meaning imagination, purpose, and thought. God will invade our imaginations, our purposes, and our thoughts with His!
THE BRAINS POTENTIAL
Misguided faith, shaping a person’s beliefs has ‘substance’ and will become ‘evidence’, drawing circumstances and experiences to affirm their beliefs, and therefore shape their life and destiny, negatively (or positively Heb. 11:1). This is sometimes called the belief-expectation cycle. Diabolical spiritual entities then support the process by continually working to plant thoughts to reinforce these ungodly beliefs over a person’s lifetime, successfully keeping them bound in captivity to lies.
People, or even whole societies, will accept a lie as the truth when it is told repeatedly over time. This has been proven through numerous instances over History—e.g. Hitler’s demonic propaganda regarding the Jews, and the present attempt by certain nations to re-write history. Germans were well-educated people, yet they chose to believe the lies and the propaganda and follow an insane leader on a disastrous path.
Propaganda is a powerful tool, as it reinforces a lie through repetition. No one is exempt from falling into this trap, except for those who walk closely with the Lord and who are led by the Holy Spirit. God created our brains to respond to faith—according to what we believe and therefore what we confess and declare with our mouths. We become what we repeatedly say and repeatedly do! Scripture tells us that as a man thinks in our hearts, so is he (Prov. 23:7).
From the moment of birth, the brain continually receives and processes information from the senses, from the soul—mind, will, and emotions—and from the spiritual realm, whether good or evil. The brain processes all the information it receives, and based on a choice to believe, will produce for the individual, a worldview. God created the soul and the supercomputer we call the brain to be the servant of man’s spirit—the spirit being the place of communion between God and man, and for the Christian the seat of His throne. Yet, for the world, the soul through intellect has become master.
“For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.” Romans 8:5-7
Our will, our attitude, and our speech—that is what we say—reflect our core beliefs, and the conclusions formed are registered in the brain. The brain is a great servant and serves our beliefs whether they are Godly and true, or ungodly and false! An ungodly belief is any belief that is not in agreement with the Word of God or aligned with the principles of God. It is a belief that exalts itself above the truth and knowledge of God (2 Cor. 10:5).
REPROGRAMMING THE BRAIN
Having intentionality about protecting our brains and our thinking processes is now crucial. God’s power combined with the practice of disciplining our minds will bring great transformation to our lives. In science this is referred to as neuroplasticity:
According to Colorado State, Healthy aging center, Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways throughout life and in response to experiences. While the brain usually does this itself in response to injury or disease, when humans focus their attention enough, they can slowly rewire these pathways themselves.
Our brains will revert to old patterns and pathways if not interrupted with new and consistent data. Our brains function like a computer and are in need of new programs and new software. Our spirits can fix the faulty programs in the brain; therefore our spirit must be at the forefront, in the lead, not our flesh.
Dr. Frank Minirth in his book A Brilliant Mind says: Most of us naturally use less than 5% of our overall brain potential. The development of the other 95% lies in our own hands. The brain can be tuned developed and improved. It is the most highly developed computer ever made, and yet the circuits and the cells must be sharpened until it becomes analogous to a highly tuned engine…Learning not only causes new synapsis but to a degree also causes neurogenesis,the formation of new brain cells. You can indeed expand the capacity of your mind from the normal adult’s 5% to a much higher percentage.
He goes on to say: You must concentrate to memorize, but concentration is not the whole process of word memorization: perhaps I should add the word COMMAND. When you direct the brain to do a task, it releases powerful chemicals in the direction requested. When you concentrate and then tell your brain to memorize something, potent chemicals are released to aid in the memorization. If what we take into our brains, then, ultimately defines us, what kinds of things do you want to put into your brain? How do you want to be defined? I believe that utilizing the bible in memorization exercises can define you in a more positive way. (Emphasis mine)
If this is the case, then, it is critical that the Body of Christ begins to command our brains and reprogram them with the software of the Word of God. Let us cast down vain imaginations, take every ungodly thought captive, and receive and dream the imaginations and thoughts of God.
We must intentionally train our brains to believe by repeatedly commanding them in an authoritative way with the Word of God. We can command our brains in regard to our health, our beliefs about finances, and the virtues we desire to function in. We do this as we simultaneously recognize, reject, resist, and refuse every thought that exalts itself above God’s thoughts then replace them with the Word of God.!
“Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things HE SAYS will be done, he will have whatever HE SAYS. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:23
Let us work to intentionally become re-programmed with the supernatural software of the Word of God. Demons search out sin and ungodly beliefs and are drawn to it, likewise Holy Spirit, Jesus, and the Father are drawn to the Word and to our faith in Christ. When the Commandments of God were taken out of the schools, the world sank into depravity! The Lord highlighted this scripture to me.
“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. have I not commanded you? be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the lord your god is with you wherever you go.”
The word mouth in this passage, is the Hebrew word is peh, and, as has been shared by many, we are in the decade of peh—a decade where the voices of God’s people will be given great authority. The word meditate is hâgâh which means to murmur in pleasure, to ponder, imagine, meditate, roar, speak, study, talk, utter. The word observe is shâmar and means guard; to protect, attend to, be circumspect, take heed, keep, mark, look closely, preserve, regard, reserve, wait for, watchman.
These definitions all show the high bar of reverence and love for the Word of God He expects from us—a reverence that moves us to discipline and receives an empowered and transformed mind that will overcome and defeat the enemy’s diabolic plan over the next seven years of this decade. (This word is built upon the previous Word the Lord gave me Neurons Are Firing!)
As Abraham sent His servant to find a bride for Isaac, God has sent the Holy Spirit to find and prepare a Bride for His Son. This is the decade of the Bride reaching maturity—the year the Bride has made herself ready for her King! The Holy Spirit is coming to the one to whom the shoe fits, for her appointment with Him, to adorn her and load her up with treasures for the world.
“Then he loaded ten of Abraham’s camels with all kinds of expensive gifts from his master, and he traveled to distant Aram-naharaim. There he went to the town where Abraham’s brother Nahor had settled.” Genesis 24:10
The glorified and beautified Bride is about to be released on the world stage; she is coming like Camels loaded with provision, water, and the treasures of Christ prepared for the Harvest. These are Apostolic/prophetic men and women God has spent decades preparing for this hour. They are spiritually fat with the goodness of God, possessing the great authority that comes from bearing His Wonderful Name and bringing the good news of the Gospel to a desperate world.
“And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: “Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess the gates of those who hate them.” Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man.” Genesis 24:60
The Bride has made herself ready having attained maturity—the Patriarch and Matriarchs who are apostolic Fathers and Mothers now taking their place. Each milestone on the Journey of the ascension to the stature of Christ represents an end and a new beginning, where those who choose to press on, gain maturity, fullness, and new levels of Glory. Doors behind shut as doors into new fields and dimensions of experience in Christ are opened.
God’s people will function from a new place of strength to overcome, and a new place of confidence in Christ. It’s time to traverse the heights of greater dimensions in Christ and do the greater works ordained for this generation. The Lord has been preparing His Bride and positioning her to release the rivers of living water He has been storing in her over the years. Like the camels that are coming, she has been given an abundant supply for the harvest.
Many have prophesied of camels bringing treasures and resources to God’s people, but in this notable hour, the coming camels also represent the apostolic/prophetic army of God, coming loaded with treasure and the Life-giving Water of the Holy Spirit for the nations. The Camels are coming!
“And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening, and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, THE CAMELS WERE COMING.” Genesis 24:63
Treasures were sent to adorn the Bride and prepare her for her King…she is ready to leave her dressing room and return to her Bridegroom as one who has become the treasure, loaded with her inheritance of every good thing that is in Christ! So let it Be Lord!
In the last word I published, I spoke about needing a fresh revelation of the magnified LORD showing that He Is a Holy God Who is Mighty In Power! I shared that in the Bible, the Lord is called by many names, however, the name that He has chosen to use most often—over 244 times, is YAHWEH Sabaoth—THE LORD OF HOSTS—the Lord of the Armies of Heaven. Let’s look at a few scripture references to expand our vision and magnify Him in our eyes.
Isaiah chapter six, showing the LORD moving in to fill His Temple, is a passage God has recently been highlighting to me: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of Heaven’s Armies.”
“For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will do this.” 2Kings 19:31
The Hebrew word used for zeal is the same word used for jealousy in Songs of Songs 8:6. The LORD is jealous over what and who belongs to Him: “Set me as a seal upon your heart…For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire…”
The Day of the LORD Sabaoth will come, and is upon us! “For the Day of the LORD of Heaven’s Armiesshall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up—And it shall be brought low.” Isaiah 2:12
The Name LORD Sabaoth carries great Power for breakthrough as David saidto the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of YAHWEH SABAOTH, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” 1Samuel 17:45
As His Bride of LORD Sabaoth, we have been given great favor! “For your Maker is your husband, The LORD SABAOTH is His Name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.” Isaiah 54:5
The LORD Sabaoth clearly wants us to understand that His Name is Mighty and that He is the great WARRIOR KING of Armies. He is the Mighty military Commander Joshua encountered before the launch of the campaign to take the Promised land. His Power and Might are transcendent beyond anything we can ever imagine or think. When He rises the enemy flees in terror.
The LORD Sabaoth is the Lord of the Angelic Armies of Heaven. Angels are described in the Bible as fierce and warlike; they have remarkable supernatural power and are astonishing in their countenance, causing those who saw them to fall in fear. Their power is revealed repeatedly in various accounts of scripture. When King Hezekiah prayed earnestly, God sent one angel to defeat 180,000 of the enemy’s army. God opened Elisha’s eyes at Elijah’s request, and he saw the great horses and chariots of fire surrounding them.
Heaven’s Angel Armies are Mighty Warriors and the LORD Sabaoth is the Ultimate Warrior of Mighty Warriors. The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is not drafting into His Army on Earth, a fearful, frivolous, complacent people. But rather a New Breed trained and equipped, who are called to rule in His Power, Might, and authority. They become an army sold out to their King who contends and overcomes all obstacles in their path—THEY ARE OVERCOMING WARRIORS. The Promises given to the seven churches of Revelation is to, he who overcomes!
God requires that His people, at this time of history—in an era of war, know Him and magnify Him as LORD SABAOTH, a fierce Commander of great Might and Power whose face is set like flint to complete the Divine will. With a fierce determination to annihilate His enemies, He fights on behalf of His people to defend those who belong to Him, and for the reward of a Great Harvest of souls that also belong to him.
Hannah’s Appeal
The first occurrence of the name YAHWEH Sabaoth is in the account of Hannah. Hannah was greatly troubled in her soul because she was barren. However, I believe that Hannah perceived by her spirit that a child was in her destiny; she perceived that she was in a battle more significant than she understood. Hannah rose up and went to the temple, and in her struggle and deep groans of travail before the LORD, she received a revelation of the LORD SABAOTH and with understanding made her appeal to Him and received assurance of her request!
“Then she made a vow and said, “O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” 1Samuell 1:11
Hannah recognized she needed the LORD of Armies to fight on her behalf! Hannah was fighting for the fulfillment of her destiny according to the will of God; she was fighting for a miracle and received one. Hannah dedicated her child Samuel as a Nazarite—one given over wholly to YAHWAH Sabaoth. Samuel was a priest who served the Lord wholeheartedly and ferociously; a warrior prophet who cut the head off the Amalekite King. He was the prophet God sent to anoint David, the warrior king in whose lineage was LORD Sabaoth—Son of David. Samuel was God’s idea, not Hannah’s. God wanted a priest and a prophet who would do all His heart and His mind (1 Sam.2:35). God put the seed of Samuel in Hannah’s spiritual womb before the foundation of the world—a seed she had to contend for!
In the day of Battle, in the season of War, like Hannah, we must make our appeal to the LORD Sabaoth and begin to contend for the seeds implanted in our spiritual wombs to come forth at the appointed hour. This generation is primed like Hannah to give birth to mighty things for the Kingdom of God—Nazarite churches and Nazarite Ministries, wholly given over to the LORD Sabaoth’s purposes! Apostolic, prophetic Nazarite mothers and fathers are called to birth the Nazarite Generationthat prepares the way for LORD Sabaoth.
Like Hannah, LORD Sabaoth is waiting to hear our cry—our appeal! The widow in Luke 18 was a woman also contending in a battle for justice and received her answer (Luke 18:3-8). The scriptures say that this woman was persistent in her cry. Scripture reveals that whenever Israel cried out to God persistently, they always received answers! LORD Sabaoth wants to hear our cry and strong appeal! Why? Because in the cry, we become real, authentic, and engaged. We can easily fall into the trap of praying rote prayers because we know how to! Our cry shows we have a stake in birthing God’s will on Earth—like Hannah.
The cry is not something we can work up. Our spirit and soul become one with the Lord’s in the appeal—He hears our cry because it is His. We join with Him in His passion to bring forth His desires. His Cry encompasses His people, the Harvest, the children, the nations, and Israel His family. We have each been given a part of the cry of His heart in seed form to bring forth. To fully enter His Cry, we must first ask Him to release to us, His compassion, His heart, and His passion. When we truly feel His heart, we can pray in unison with Him in one heart.
The LORD Sabaoth is now rising in His people to fulfill His purposes in this season of war. We have His attributes as a warrior, as He lives and moves in us. His first coming to redeem humanity was an act of war. The Cross was a triumphant act of war. When we call for His Kingdom to come…this is an act of war. When we declare, Thy will be done,this is an act of war. The Lord is now moving to lead a great captivity of souls, out into freedom—this is an act of war.
The LORD Sabaoth is now primed to move out in the sons of God in resurrection power that will destroy demonic strongholds and capture the Harvest. We work together in a dance of unison with Yahweh Sabaoth and the Angel Armies of Heaven.
The blueprint of this end-time generation has been pre-coded and preloaded for the Battle to birth! The warrior code is already in our DNA! We must call forth our warrior spirit to the forefront to take its place on the frontlines of the Battle for the coming Kingdom of God on Earth. The Spirit of YAHWEH SABAOTH is upon us, sending us forth to do His work. He is with us and has come to destroy the works of the enemy!
“With justice He judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns…The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.” Revelation 19:11-14
So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” And the LORD said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.” So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a BREAKTHROUGH OF WATER.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.” 2 Samuel 5:20
The Hebrew word for Breakthrough is pârats meaning to break out, make a breach, break forth, burst out, spread abroad, increase, and open. Many prophetic voices have spoken over the years about SHIFTING, DOORS, CROSSOVER, AND BREAKTHROUGH These are words we have heard repeatedly that may need clarification for some. Breakthrough is related to spiritual barriers that God destroys that was hindering our progress. Shift describes movement God initiates that we may take up a new position to occupy in the spirit that manifests in the natural. Doorsand crossing over represent the opening of new and effective spheres of opportunity where the choice to go through is ours..
These words illustrate the paradigm of forward movement, in relation to the journey we find ourselves on after becoming born again. We enter a process and a movement of continual, supernatural transformation that is both sublime & transcendent. The definition of these two words perfectly describes the characteristics of the supernatural journey we began with Creator God.
Sublime means to elevate or exalt, especially in dignity or honor, to render finer (as in purity or excellence). To convert something inferior into something of higher worth. Outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth; tending to inspire awe usually because of elevated quality (as of beauty, nobility, or grandeur) or TRANSCENDENT EXCELLENCE.
Transcendent means exceeding usual limits: surpassing, extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience. BEING BEYOND THE LIMITS OF ALL POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE.
The Journey of breakthrough, shifting and crossing over through doors, is a sublime and transcendent experience we dwell in with the Lord as we increase in maturity and responsibility, gaining in wisdom and integrity, as we press deeper into the Presence of the Lord.
In the Late fall of 2019, I had two powerful visions at a conference, where exactly what I saw was later prophesied by the leader. In essence, what I saw were a long line of trumpeters announcing the Kings’ entrance into the Sanctuary of the Church. The second vision moved outside the Church where I saw a vast army of saints being released to ride with the Angelic Hosts. I believed from this, that we were about to see great things in 2020! However, we saw the opposite! Why, I asked the Lord. His answer is that we must have a fresh revelation of the magnified LORD! THAT HE IS A HOLY AND MIGHTY GOD!
In the Bible, the Lord is called by many names that describe Him such as Yahweh Shalom our peace, or Yahweh Rapha, our healer. However, the name that He has chosen to use nearly ten times more than all other names combined is THE LORD OF HOSTS—the Lord of the Armies of Heaven, used 244 times. The LORD obviously wants us to understand that He is a great WARRIOR KING. His power and might are transcendent beyond anything we can ever imagine; beyond ten thousand times ten thousand nuclear bombs. When His right arm is lifted the earth trembles, when He moves lightning and thunder follows and the whole earth shakes. When He moved to take His people out of Egypt, He was showing only a minuscule measure of His power. When He parted the Red Sea, He was simply breathing out.
Three years have passed since I had those two visions. I fully believed these last three years have been about crucifixion. Without crucifixion, we cannot have resurrection power. Pride must be demolished and as seen in Isaiah 6, Uzziah, representing pride. had to die. It was in the year Uzziah died that the robe of the LORD filled the Temple! Our lips have to be burned with the coal from the altar, that He might INCREASE… that we might release His Voice in the Earth.
God has chosen to move through a people fashioned IN HIS IMAGE. We are His warrior kings representing the Kingdom—an Army of deliverers. We have been taking much about the New Breed, not having understood that they become newbecause they are being crucified in the crucible of Divine destiny.
For the LORD’s will to be accomplished flesh has to die. We needed to see our own state. Why would God invest power in something that is riddled with pride? Especially when He says pride is a stench to him. So, we have been dying, that He might live, that He might increase, that He might have a platform on which to stand. The crucified life is ground zero, the only platform He has chosen to stand on. We are being conformed in every part, to who He is, that He might be manifested in our lives. His intention is that we arrive at the place of full stature in Him, but what level of death will that require?
We each have been fashioned according to a blueprint that has been encoded with vast possibilities. We have been encoded and pre-loaded with the potential for Godlikeness to do the greater works. This takes place when He is ready and when our character is ready—when we become the platform He can stand on, or the donkey He can ride in on.
We have come into the time of His increase where every knee and every head must bow low because the King in all His Glory is passing by. THE KING IS ABOUT TO RISE IN A NEW WAY, in the midst of a prepared people. The visions I saw will be fulfilled! Jesus is about to increase in this hour to accomplish great and mighty things. So, we must decrease and give Him His place. I have been living and experiencing the revelation God gave me that great breakthrough happened at Passover, a people were positioned and secured at Pentecost and at the Feast of Sukkot, great and effective doors are being opened to many who will be locked & loaded with dunamis power to advance on the offensive against the encroaching darkness.
On September 25th we entered the Jewish New Year 5783 leading to 2023 with seven very significant years ahead in this decade. Three is the third Hebrew letter Gimel having a Numerical value of three. One of its meanings for the Jewish people is THE PATRIARCHS—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Gimel represents maturity—to mature, ripen, nourish, reward, recompense, and benefit.
I believe 5783 and 2023 begins THE ERA OF THE PATRIARCHS—apostolic fathers & mothers emerging in the glorious stature of Christ. This will be the era of maturity having been achieved. The pictograph of Gimel is a camel. Camels are able to make DANGEROUS and DEADLY JOURNEYS across the desert or wilderness because of their pregnant like hump filled with “water” reserves.They enable life to continue.” We began with the scripture regarding Baal Perazim – the breakout of waters! Water brings life, nourishes life, and sustains life!
Jesus told Nicodemus; “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is BORN OF WATER and THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5
Jesus told the Samaritan woman: “…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. THE WATER THAT I WILL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A SPRING OF WATER WELLING UP TO ETERNAL LIFE.” John 4:14
Many have prophesied of camels bringing treasures and resources to God’s people and I believe this to be true, but in this instance I believe that the camel also represents the apostolic army of God travelling through dangerous territory ahead, loaded with Life giving Water for the nations. The Camels are coming!
Jesus announced: “ON THE LAST DAY OF THE FEAST (Sukkot), THE GREAT DAY, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘OUT OF HIS HEART WILL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.’” John 7:37
The word heart also means belly or womb – Out of your womb shall flow rivers of living water! THE BRIDE’S WATER IS BREAKING AND ABOUT GUSH FORTH. This represents your gift, your light, your destiny in Him that is about to break out in Rivers of Living Water. The release is coming to those who have embraced the fire, humbled themselves and submitted to His ways, that He may rise up to do His work!
“For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.” Isaiah 28:21
On Rosh Hashanah, September 25th we entered the Jewish New Year of 5783. Over this Feast season through Yom Kippur and Sukkot, we are transitioning into a very significant period of world history that will be very volatile. In 2020, around Rosh Hashanah, I published a word I believe is for this time. It was 5780 at the time and we had entered the decade of the mouth. I wrote:
In Hebrew, the number eighty is represented by the letter pey meaning the mouth. We are now entering the time of being perfected in vision in order to speak,decree, and prophecy with a higher level of accuracy and specificity—A new season thrusting us into a Holy Spirit-inspired boldness to speak forth the Word of God, to impart HIS WILL into all circumstances, spheres, both political, and economic realms.
This will be a decade not related to our words and agendas, but rather TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD, HIS WILL, AND HIS AGENDA.
“The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon…The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “GLORY!” Psalm 29
This will be a decade where we will see prophetic saints DECLARE AND DECREE with an unction supported BY THE VOICE OF THE LORD. This will initiate great breakthrough. THE VOICE OF THE LORD WILL THUNDER OVER THE WATERS, impacting the seas of many peoples, shifting nations, and governments. THE VOICE OF THE LORD SPLINTERS THE CEDARS, shattering the pride of man—God will shatter and divide the enemy’s plans and every proud thing that rises AGAINST HIS WILL! THE VOICE OF THE LORD DIVIDES WITH FLAMES OF FIRE, STRIKING His targets WITH BOLTS OF LIGHTENING; God will move to strike at the heart of evil, and the occultic conglomerates empowering iniquity in the earth.
THE LORD SHAKES THE WILDERNESS OF KADESH—Kadesh represents the place of defilement and all sexual uncleanness (see qâdêsh H6946 same as and H6945). The Voice of the Lord will shake the places of immorality on the earth, exposing and revealing all that is grotesque and horrific in perversion—God will move to release countless captives from these prisons of bondage and multitudes will be set free!
THE VOICE OF THE LORD MAKES THE DEER GIVE BIRTH—this will be a decade of birthing the promises of God.The Body has been in travail. The number eight represents a new beginning and a door. This will be the decade of birthing God’s New Thing! In this decade we will see the birth of the Marvels of God and enter the full knowledge of His faithfulness and goodness to mankind. I see a multitude of doors swinging open to new pastures and fields of creativity, innovation, and Ministry, with the Bright Light of God shining with favor on His people, and everyone will shout, “Glory!”
In the decade of the mouth, prophecy will begin to bubble up in the mouths of God’s people, who declare the Word of the Lord. The Lord says that this will be a time of extreme acceleration, where His Word will be sent and swiftly move to accomplish His will, and will not return void.
God told Abraham that Israel would be in bondage for four hundred years and would be set free after the iniquity of the Amorites was complete, or at its fullness. When God was ready to perform this Word, He raised up Moses as a deliverer of His people. Moses protested before God, saying that He could not speak. God answered him, “Who has made a man’s mouth?” He then tells him, “I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say!” (Ex. 4:10-12). In Hebrew, the word teach is yarah and means to, flow as water or shoot like an arrow!
GOD PUTS HIS WORDS IN OUR MOUTHS
Jeremiah also told the Lord that He could not speak, but God answered him: “…you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, YOU SHALL SPEAK. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD. Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put MY WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH.” (emphasis mine)
“... do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” Mark 13:11
God is getting set to release an army of deliverers in whom is the Voice of GOD! His words will flow as water, releasing life and healing to the dry and parched places; bringing restoration to places defiled and destroyed by iniquity. The Lord will send forth His word from these deliverers—shooting them like arrows into the enemy’s camp to tear down strongholds, destroying their schemes!
These saints who have submitted to the process of preparation will accelerate with the speed of light. I saw that their internal capacity to contain the Spirit of God was maxing out, and the internal combustion within them heating up tremendously, making them ready to be thrust out like a rocket into the stratosphere! The anointing coming on them sends them out with power. The Fire on their feet was getting too hot to stand still anymore. This anointing is the RESURRECTION ANOINTING that is about to break many out of their graves and the dead places. GOD IS THE ‘THRUST!’ He is the Fire, and the Power beneath our feet. There is no stopping it and no turning back!
This anointing will be suddenly and supernaturally pushed out, to advance forcibly in a certain direction. The word thrust can also mean a forceful attack, a violent lunge with a sharp weapon. The people of God are the sharpened weapons that He will use to destroy His enemy.
Thrust is also the propulsive force that gives lift-off. God is the thrust and propulsive force of His people, that moves them, sends them, and clothes them with the power to carry out His will. In the decade ahead the people of God will find themselves suddenly thrust out into new arenas, locked and loaded with the power of the VOICE OF THE LORD. He is saying now as He said to Jeremiah, “I am ready to perform My Word!”
“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, TO ROOT OUT AND TO PULL DOWN, TO DESTROY AND TO THROW DOWN, TO BUILD AND TO PLANT.” Jeremiah 1:9-10 (Emphasis mine)
This is the work of God’s apostolic, prophetic people releasing the voice of the Lord, prepared for this hour of history! The Voice speaks, The Voice creates, the voice destroys, the voice transforms, the voice builds. The voice commands the elements, the voice invites the supernatural. GOD WILL ANSWER WHAT YOU SAY—what you speak!
The Scriptures tell us that everything was made by His Word. EVERYTHING CAN THEREFORE BE UNMADE BY HIS WORD. With them, we can tear down and destroy, we can build and plant! God’s Word transcends all other words. We are in a war of words both written and decreed. The war has begun. God is teaching us to send His Words into war like Artillery. Artillery is a class of heavy military ranged weapons that launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms it is focused on the ability to breach defensive walls and fortifications during sieges.
I saw a picture of Jesus when He heard in His Spirit the Father say, Son, it is time! It is time to go! I saw Jesus putting down his tools dusting off His hands and leaving… He left everything behind to walk into His destiny.
I believe the Lord is saying to us, it’s time to go! Leave the past behind, close those doors and walk into your Divinely ordained future!
John the Baptist is described in Isaiah 40:3 as the VOICE of one crying, sent o prepare the way of the Lord! When he was asked by the priests if he was Elijah or a prophet, he said no! When asked if he was the Messiah, he said no! He answered that he was a voice, and quoted Isaiah 40! According to Jesus and Luke 1:17, John came in the power of Elijah to turn the disobedient to thewisdom of the just,to make a people ready for the Lord!The word ‘just’ is the Greek word dikaios and means holy, innocent, and righteous.
Just as John was sent as a voice to prepare the nation for the Lord, so is this generation now being sent out to prepare the world for the Lord. We do this by turning the rebellious and the disobedient toward the wisdom of holiness, righteousness, and innocence before God!
God admonishes us in scripture that we are to build the HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS for the Lord; a highway that the unclean are not able to travel on (Isaiah 35). Isaiah 40:4 reveals the process that goes into building this High way. It becomes a highway of holiness as it is being fashionedin preparation for the coming revelation of the Glory of God!
The power of the most high is coming to overshadow a people with Glory, and what comes forth from everything related to that is Holy to the Lord! The fear of the Lord is moving across the Body now to initiate a cleansing of His House from all filth and uncleanness. This is in preparation for what He is now about to initiate through a prepared people in the line of John the Baptist.
Humility does not come to us naturally; humility must be practiced intentionally through our choices of obedience to God’s Word, His principles, and His directions. We begin by agreeing with His Word and coming into the union of agreement with Him and He will do the work!
We have to be mindful that pride continually wants to creep in to spoil and defile our progress in Christ to rob us of our destiny. I recently read an author that said that Pride is the anointing of Satan and is an abomination to God. It is interesting that there is now a movement called Pride that is so aggressively overtaking the world in every sphere…releasing the spirit of pride!
Pride causes us to look inward and fall into an obsessive fixation with our own image, instead of the Lord’s beautiful image and ways. It is easy to get caught in the fight to get our image at the forefront. Jesus is the only Star in Heaven and on Earth, and all pride must be broken that He might be glorified and lifted up.
If we are to be the Voice that prepares His way, all attention must now be given over to Him. Pride and boasting are a stench to Him and He resists them. It has no place in His Presence! We rejoice because of the Bridegroom and the Bridegroom’s voice that is in us.
When Jesus showed up, John recognized that he had to decrease, to give the Lord His rightful place. We are sent before Him. To prepare His way. The bride belongs to Him. He must increase! The Lord is now moving to INCREASE in the nations of the world. His Presence is moving in, in increasing levels of Power and Glory. His Increase will cause the shattering of all false images in His House. Jesus is about to show up. This is His day! Those sent ahead of Him to prepare His way must understand their place, that it is the time to decrease, to get rid of the flesh.
As the King draws close, let every head be bowed low. Humility is the platform on which Christ is revealed. Servants of God must practice shaking off the praise that comes with serving Him. Our job is to reveal Jesus, glorify Jesus, exalt Jesus, and prepare His way. The King is coming! Make way for the King as He approaches! Throw down your mantles and your crowns. It is time for every person, every leader, every dignitary, every king, and queen to decrease, bow low, and give way to the King!
We are an army in a movement of decrease so that He may increase. That the Mature Man that is the stature of Christ can be seen in us, filled without measure with His Spirit.
If you have made your faith and walk about you, the movement of HIS INCREASE will devastate you. Our image must reflect the image of Christ where He is seen and not us. Fame did not have a hold of John; his eyes were fixed on his Master. He served the Lord. All that John did was for the Lord’s eyes only—not the people! In this historic hour, it is important to invest in holiness and in brokenness as He has said a broken and contrite heart He will not despise. When the Lord is revealed, all the uncleanness of the heart is exposed for all to see as Isaiah quickly found out!
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe FILLED THE TEMPLE. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged” Isaiah 6:1-7: (Emphasis mine)
The commissioning from the Lord then followed the cleansing and the burning.
“I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said,“Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8
As we stand in this significant hour of the King’s increase in our world, as His Presence draws close, as Heaven begins the invasion of Earth, as His Kingdom comes and His will is done, the commissioning of those who will SERVE, those who will GO, will be an army whose lips have been burned by the Fire from the altar. Many like Zachariah, who was tending the altar in the temple with a heart of unbelief, will find themselves silenced. These are those who will curse with their words the holy thing that is about to be birthed. In God’s mercy, many will be removed from positions of authority for their own sake.
The Great Separation Has Begun. Matthew 13:40 tells us that the angels are coming to separate the evil from the righteous and to remove everything that offends God. This is taking place now! The GREAT SEPARATION has begun. Many are in the valley of decision as God moves to separate the wheat from the tares!
God is sounding the trumpets on this Rosh Hashanah, warning His people to GET OUT OF BABYLON and the Babylonian system, before He moves to take it down. He is saying, “Learn how to live under MY SYSTEM, My Kingdom’s system of supply that works on supernatural laws you know not of. I am well able to look after you. Have no other gods but me.
If God moves to take down the Babylonian Beast system spoken of in revelations 18, it will cause the unraveling of the whole system. Therefore, He has been first moving, a little here and a little there. When it becomes time to take down the whole system, it will cause a worldwide eruption and revolution. The early stages of this have already begun, causing nations to be in upheaval.
I sensed the Lord is saying: Get ready things are about to change swiftly, and rapidly. The enemy is amassing at the borders of your lands as a great invading army. You must stand and fight. The Armies of Heaven are with you to deliver you. Do not fear their faces. The nations are in an uproar! Voices are rising in protests all over the world. Do not tolerate their evil work. This is the hour of a great release. As the trumpets sound, you are now being sent out to move forward as My army.
Our Commander in Chief—the Lord Jesus Christ, is in full possession of the Divine strategy to rescue the world as He did the first time that He came to earth. Before He returns, He will be coming to rescue, through a people—deliverers who volunteer freely in the Day of His Power (Ps. 110).
In the book of Judges, the judges were also referred to as deliverers. Today, God’s deliverers are an apostolic army sent out from Heaven into a war zone to fulfill an assignment. We can never be fearful of moving with God into the future as we have been firmly secured in Him, always moving forward in Him toward greater glory, strength, and faith (Rom 1:17, Ps. 84).
In the last word that I published; I spoke about three massive global spiritual movements that were presently underway. The first, the rising prominence of the kingdom of darkness, their evil agenda, and attempts to establish a liberal, progressive New World Order. The second, the long-awaited Great Awakening, and the third is the emergence of a new caliber of the believer fashioned in the way of Christ. As I said in that article, it is foolish to attempt to go into battle without recognition of the enemy’s schemes and his deceptive tactics, to thwart the advancement of the saints on every front.
Today there is a Global world system whose principles Christians must stand against. The groundwork for the beast system of the last days is presently being laid and established very quickly. Revelations 13:4 asks the question, “Who is like the beast, and who can make war against it?” revealing here that the beast is formidable in its strength. The fourth beast in the book of Revelation also referred to in the book of Daniel, is the Fourth Reich. The word reich means empire or realm. The satanic kingdom is set on establishing their empire in this hour—a global reich where people are ruled and controlled by a few. According to Klaus Schwab—leader of the WEF, the Great Reset he writes about in his book represents the Fourth industrial revolution. This is a revolution that supports the work to create the Fourth Reich ruled by a satanic beast system!
The Fourth Industrial revolution will be inflicted upon humanity, causing great economic and social chaos thereby providing the means for the Great Reset—this is presently happening. I have been writing about the Great Reset since 2020 when it was first thought to be a conspiracy but is now openly acknowledged even by many politicians.
Our Present Situation – Understanding the Times
The globalists are now working ferociously to create a New World Order that denies God, denies sin and intends to recreate the world on their terms without God. They are occupied in the great experiment of humanity, where man lives forever as a transhuman, where humans can be recreated into a variety of genders and beings that can be hacked according to their prophet, Yuval Noah Harari.
A great number of Christians have bought into their lies and some churches are even partnering with some of their plans. In Matthew 24, Jesus forewarns the outstanding features of the last days: Lawlessness will abound, love will grow cold, widespread deception, and persecution of His followers.
There is much talk now about nuclear power by many world leaders. This is unprecedented! What is going on? There are wars and rumors of wars on the horizon as satanic forces attempt to start World War III. The trials, troubles, and horrors of the present life are the consequences of fallen man, and the spiritual war we are in. There is no position for neutrality in this war, we can’t call a time out! Jesus said in Matthew 12:30:“Anyone who isn’t with Me opposes Me, and anyone who isn’t working with Me is actually working against Me.”
The disasters inflicted on humanity and the world since 2020 may appear to be from sheer incompetence, but this is deception, meant only to distract by the incessant debate it creates. The disastrous consequences of the actions of those in power are all clearly intentional. This needs to be settled in our minds.
As people of Grace, Christians may find it difficult to believe we are now living in a world of such evil. It is far easier to pretend that all is well and continue as if the world is not in the beginning stages of disintegration. The term for this is called, “Cognitive dissonance” a reaction to new information that we perceive as threatening and feel safer by denying it. Because of this attitude, we are presently caught in a slow boil like the frog in the frying pan.
To live as if we are not a War is to live deceived! Without understanding and acknowledging the facts of what is happening, we will get lost in the chaos around us. This culture and generation cannot and will not survive in all its evil and perversity. God will surely act! Our job as Christians is to mobilize, fulfill our call, and rescue as many as God deems possible to snatch them from the clutches of hell.Jesus said: “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. (Matt. 10:16),
The Call Now to The Saints
Isaiah 60 does tell us to arise and shine in this hour. This is our time! But remember, it also declares that deep darkness will cover the earth. This twofold movement is happening on earth right now. So, yes, we are about to see great and marvelous things happen as God begins to move in the miraculous! Nevertheless, the enemy is set on maintaining their ground, the gains they have made, and will not give up easily without a great fight! So, we need to be prepared! We need to be prepared physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Our call is a holy call God considers a sacred trust, to faithfully represent His Kingdom regardless of the cost. It is the call of Jeremiah, to tear down and to build—to rebuild the Divine systems and structures founded on Kingdom. God is the Foundation stone, the Cornerstone, and the Headstone of all rule, authority, and Government. We are the headstone generation that unites with Him for this holiest and sacred work.
The Road Ahead is Narrowing:
The Call on this generation requires a deeper level of consecration! I sense God is saying: A narrowing in the road is coming for this generation. I am now narrowing and cutting away to the core, for the full release of your identity in Me. Those who hear, those who acquiesce, those who embrace the knife of circumcision in this hour shall serve Me. The pure in heart see God! There is much that is unclean in your world, those who serve Me cannot be in agreement with devils. Agree with Me and Live!
In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus tells us to: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
The Narrow Gate is Christ, and the narrow way is living a life modeled after Christ. It is living the crucified life! Jesus said that unless a grain of wheat falls in the ground and dies it would not produce the fruit of Kingdom living. God is making a New Wineskin for this hour fashioned by the crucified life. The Crucified Life is ground Zero of the believer’s walk.
People are now dying all around us. The all-mortality rate is skyrocketing this year in all nations! They call it SADS. In death, we are being confronted by our mortality; it is best to deal with the death issue now, overcome fear, and begin to live our lives for eternity.
The Narrow way is the way of the Warrior. It requires an act of circumcision, the cutting away of non-essentials, a cutting away the flesh and the world, and pressing into God with everything you have in you—the times require it! When we are walking with God closely on the narrow path, we don’t have to be afraid of anything, for He is with us, he walks before us, and he upholds up with His righteous right arm. God tells us in His word to be anxious for nothing.
Our Job Description
Matthew 10:8 says: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ‘Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
This is that hour! We are the greater works generation! We are now moving into the Day of His Power—the season of the miraculous! Only a crucified person can handle the fame of living in the miraculous. Only Jesus can handle the fame. This is the reason we are disciplined, we must first become like dead men walking—crucified.
“…God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Hebrews 12:10
How do we stay the course? To stay on the narrow path, don’t try to circumvent the will of God by choosing how you will obey, rather than the way God has prescribed, because His direction doesn’t sit well with you. Obey, and obey quickly.
We each have a package to deliver that is our destiny, that we are birthing right now. We have to identify our weaknesses now and deal with them to ensure that we deliver the package and get to the finish line. We, therefore, have to ask God for clarity on issues we may have that will trip us up! It is important to use this time—the calm before the storm, to come together and build relationships with like-minded believers who will work to support each other in times of persecution.
I sensed the Lord saying: The walk of faith causes you to lean on Me for everything, never trusting in the flesh. I am keeping you purposefully in this place of need so that your confidence is in Me always, not in yourself. Pride would otherwise once again set in! So you must learn to trust that I am taking care of all your steps, regardless of your ability to do so. Know that in spite of your ignorance of the way, I have everything in My hands. I am always a step ahead of you leading the way! I know how to get you to your destination. Trust in Me to get you there!
There are three global spiritual movements of gargantuan proportions that are presently underway. First is the rising prominence of the kingdom of darkness, their evil agenda, and attempts to establish a New World Order. The second is the long-awaited Great Awakening—the stirring of the masses in the present shaking, bringing them to truth, and making them ripe for harvesting with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The third spiritual movement underway is the emergence of a new caliber of believer, of noble character, fashioned in the way of Christ. These are sons and daughters of God being released on the world stage to represent the Kingdom of God and the King’s interest in the nations for this extraordinary time.
For Spiritual leaders, it is important to be cognizant of all three movements to be relevant to the times, the people they serve, and to receive strategic insight for advancing, taking ground, and occupying. Success on the battlefield will require an understanding of all three!
Heaven’s warfare is a forward movement of strength, armed with the keen insight of these three spiritual undertakings. It is foolhardy to attempt to go into battle without recognition of the enemy’s schemes and his deceptive tactics to thwart the advancement of the saints on every front
For example, the present situation regarding the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago has great significance for all nations, for the purposes of both heaven and hell. The Liberal World Order has set out to destroy Donald Trump’s approval and status over the past seven years. They have blatantly targeted him, but have been unsuccessful in their attempts to destroy him, as the hand of the Lord has been on him to protect his assignments. The forces set against him are now in a panic because nothing they have tried has worked thus far. The FBI raid was the first time a present administration attacked a former President and future presidential candidate—we are truly living in historic and unprecedented times with heightened spiritual activity!
The day the raid took place, the Lord spoke three separate words to me over the course of the day. As I watched the events unfold on the news, I was very disturbed, and heard the word OMEN. It is defined as, a phenomenon, an event, or occurrence that portends good or evil;a prophetic sign; a sign or indication of a future event. I found this to be very interesting as I had thought the word was related to only evil, but it can also be an omen of good.
The second word I heard was BACKFIRE, which means, to have the oppositeresult from the one you intended; or a fire started in the path of an oncoming fire to deprive it of fuel and thereby control or extinguish it.
The third word I heard was MISSTEP which means, a misplaced or awkward step. A false step; an instance of a wrong or improper conduct; a blunder (American Heritage Dictionary).
Whenever God drops words in my spirit, I go digging into the definitions for clarity and further revelation. I sensed here that He was highlighting some things.
As I pondered these words, with a fresh realization of the two-fold aspect of the words omen and backfire, I began to understand that the two forces of good and evil were both at work in this event. God says in His word that He uses what the enemy intends for evil to work for good. Therefore, it is important to not judge the situation too quickly and wait for things to unfold.
The word omen is defined as something prophetic and as an indication of something future. As this can be both good and evil, in this instance, I believe it represents both. The forces that are against Donald Trump, aligned with the globalist agenda, intend to do him harm to destroy his chances of running again as president. They have proven by this raid that they will stop at nothing regardless of the consequences. They see this as their opportune moment for their diabolic plan and will continue aggressively at whatever cost. God’s plan, however, overrules their plan at every turn and works to create the opposite effect of what they intended, as it is in this case—as many rally behind Donald Trump.
This brings us to the second word backfire which means to have the opposite effect of what was intended. This is becoming clear as more is exposed and brought into the light. However, the second definition of this word is the one that I find most intriguing: a fire started in the path of an oncoming fire to deprive it of fuel and thereby control or extinguish it.
After praying about this, I am sensing from the Lord that forces were allowed to inspire this great blunder, to prevent or slow the path of the oncoming fire, planned to sabotage the November elections and accelerate their world agenda in the works.
“Can fire be combated with fire? Sometimes, counter fires (backfires) can be lit in a so-called Controlled Prescribed Burn to starve a fire of the fuel it needs to spread…
A backfire is deliberately started in front of an active fire front…The backfire consumes some of the combustible material and creates a fire belt that the wildfire has difficulty crossing” (The International Association of Fire and Rescue).
I believe the Lord, our Consuming Fire, has set a backfire to remove the life and energy out of the greater fire presently burning out of control in the world, threatening to burn down our house—our present way of life. The raid at Mar-a-Lago created a fire belt intended to suck the life and energy out of the greater fire. The fire belt created could be the tremendous amount of litigation increasing as Donald trump now sues the government for violating his fourth amendment right. The fire belt is also the great light that is now shining on and targeting this investigation! All eyes are watching for further missteps, the exposure of hidden agendas, and secrets. The intense scrutiny is causing a controlled prescribed burn that is starving this fire of the fuel it needs to spread.
The Liberal World Order, using the WEF, the UN, and the WHO has been getting bold, brazen, and sloppy. They have boldly come out into the open and are not holding back their evil plans. Because of this, they are shocked by the pushback they are now getting in the nations of the world. God has His praying people. He also has many courageous people like the truckers and farmers who are standing up against tyrannical governments legislating disturbing policies and refusing to back down.
In Israel, when a king fell into sin, it brought great calamity to the nation. For this reason, God sent His prophets to kings to give them both direction and warning. Elijah was one such prophet who became very grieved by the terrible idolatry that had invaded the nation. God mightily used him to bring down that administration—the King, the Queen, and their four hundred prophets of Baal. It is the same with both kings Herod, and Zedekiah; God sent Jeremiah and John the Baptist as prophets to give them warning, but they refused to listen.
Because the saint abdicated their God-given position to hold the line of righteousness in every sphere and mountain, including the political realm, we have now found ourselves mired in this present catastrophe. God places His watchmen on the walls to guard the city. Today, many have abandoned their position succumbing to intimidation or discouragement, as they are either discounted or not listened to.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. Psalms 127:1
God will protect only what He has built! He protects His work! Twenty-five years ago, the Lord showed me a picture of North America. The gates on all its borders on every side were wide open. Evil principalities, powers, and hosts of wickedness were entering in on all sides. They were entering on the west from Asia, on the east from Europe and Africa, and the South bringing in such things as Santeria and Voodoo. Many people steeped in idolatry, and the occult came and worked their way to the top of the mountains of all social spheres and realms, and opened the gates ever further, especially within the political, education, medical, and family sphere.
God did His best to try to enlighten His Church. He released the seven-mountain revelation through Lance Wallnau and others—the revelation of Christian leaders moving out in His authority into the marketplace, politics, and all spheres to occupy these mountains. I think the attempt to occupy has largely failed as the level of yieldedness to Christ, the character needed, and deep consecration required has been lacking. Those who were willing and qualified had very little support and prayer covering from the Church. As a result, we have now found ourselves in the Battle of the Ages—a great clash of kingdoms of Biblical proportions. Satan’s forces fight to hold the pinnacle of every mountain, in possession of the global finances necessary to hold and occupy.
How then do we take back what has been lost? The genie is out of the bottle! Pandora is out-of-the-box! Evil is aggressively ruling in every sphere as Christian squabble over the non-essentials and continually slander each other. We see evidence of the same pattern in the Bible. Because of disobedience to hold the line of righteousness, Israel began to embrace the idols of the surrounding nations, and God abandoned them to the consequences of their decisions for a season! However, God in his mercy, after a time of great trial and trouble would always send a deliverer to deliver the nation. However, it was always through fierce battles that victory came.
Today, God has raised an army of deliverers—sons, and daughters with whom He will work! If God could do it with one man, or one woman as He did with Deborah, what could he do with an army? God does not need a vast number as we see in the account of Gideon. He just needs a company of lion-faced Saints fashioned in the image of Christ. He is ready! He is arising! We have entered a new Season. The Lord is saying, as He said in Isaiah 42, …for a long time I have held my peace, now I will cry! Now I will roar!
The three spiritual movements now coming together in this hour are creating the perfect storm. The FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago is an omen, a sign that portends what lies ahead—a great and tumultuous conflict. God is raising up His army on every front to fight in the trenches—boots on the ground, firepower in the air, in every sphere, and on every mountain, in the Church, and the Marketplace—a people who will not back down, who fear nothing but God!
The altar built on worship and praise by those who serve God connects directly to the Throne of God creating a supernatural spiritual portal of power through which angels ascend and descend on Christ in us, positioned in our praise. Every possibility then comes into play as the Father’s will becomes intertwined with the desire of our hearts, supercharged with purpose. His will becomes our desire, and our desire is synchronized with His will in a transcendent exchange of love, honor, and purpose.
Worship and praise from a heart that has been broken in humility and crucified in Christ, in whom Christ lives as Lord and King, has great influence to move the heart of the Father and the Hand of the Father. Jesus declared that the pure in heart would see God and that the meek would inherit the earth—these are ones who have been broken in the crucible of God’s love.
Could it be that God is presently searching for such a crucified people, ones who are sold out to His will regardless of the cost? Those who have invested the time in building a relationship of intimacy and honor with Him through a heart of continual worship and obeying His Word, submitting quickly to His will, in recognition of His lordship over their lives. These are ones who recognize that we are here to serve the King and His Kingdom, not just dabbling in Christianity as we are moved in the moment.
The early Christians became disciples who understood the cost and the possibility of losing their lives for the cause of the Kingdom. These men and women were not playing with Christianity—to them, it meant life or death. The North American church has mostly adopted a Christianity of comfort, one that appeases the senses, and focuses on one’s self—on what is in it for me. This type of Christianity cannot and will not stand the tests through the shaking of its weak foundations as the fire of God comes to search our hearts.
We are now at a crossroads where the era of compromised, fragile, lukewarm, and religious Christianity will cease to exist. Daily, the lines are becoming more defined and pronounced highlighting the separation between what it means to be a Christian, or not—will you pick up your cross and follow Him,or not?
Christianity is now moving into the era of the separation and full consecration of those who obey and will follow the Way. The Way of Christ! Followers of Christ are born again, not only into the very life of Christ, but also into His Passion and therefore His purposes and His work to bring about His Passion. We have been born again into a King who was willing to embrace death on a cross to accomplish His Father’s will! This is the God in whom we live and move and have our being!
True believers of the end times will be caught up into Christ’s passion to complete His Father’s will, whatever it takes! We are living and moving and having our being within a Warrior bent on conquest, whose Face is fixed and set like flint. His determination is to conquer, and to hand the Kingdom and the Dominion over to His Father. He is looking for His brethren, His tribe—the warriors in whom is His Spirit, who will truly ride with Him not just sing about it! Will you ride?
As the move of God in 1994 brought a great release and understanding of the Breaker anointing, 2022 will be characterized as the beginning of another Breaker year, and a season where we will see the Kingdom of God break into planet Earth, break God’s people out of captivity and restriction, and break out and through them to end decades of demonic control. This will usher in a time of great conflict on Earth. The release of the Breaker anointing in 1944—a warfare anointing, was intended by God to arm, mobilize and equip a people for the spiritual battles of this era.
When God says we have not walked this way before—we have not walked this way before! God is doing a new thing and a new path is now forming before those who have picked up their cross and are choosing to follow Him. God is now calling a people to be free from every ungodly soul tie, disentangled from every worldly constraint, to become fully consecrated and set apart unto Him for His purposes in this historic hour.
June 20th: “Be still in My Presence. Take off your shoes Joshua, the ground is holy as I am here to now lead the way ahead. Do not presume to think you have full knowledge as I am giving one step at a time, one strategy at a time. As you are faithful in the one-step, I will give you another. If I give you 2 steps, you will take four or six. Therefore, I will give only one. Be obedient to the one.
I have the ability and the power to get you where you need to be. Trust me that I will get you there. All the pieces of the puzzle are coming together and forming a notable and impressive picture. The enemy trembles in fear of the expectation of My movements. He lives in fear of the fullness of My presence and stature in you—of you being filled in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the attacks on the earth are now fierce. When I’m about to move they panic. Angels are in attendance girded and ready for dispatch. You be girded and ready for dispatch and for empowerment. Learn to move with them.
Embrace the walk of full consecration in fear and trembling, and in the fear of the Lord, as Paul did, and your anointing will increase! You will see and move in great and mighty things you have not known. Don’t try to be what you are not—know your sphere of accountability and authority. All must look to me, all must surrender to my Will and authority. For your protection and safety, arrogance and compromise will be quickly and swiftly disciplined in the days ahead. I have come to build My House. I have come to lead My Army. Hear the sound of the Trumpet and fall in line quickly.”
June 3oth: I heard the Lord say, “2022 is the Breaker Year. You will expand to the left and to the right as you mount up with the wings of Eagles. I am calling you to spread out and to cover. Cover my purposes in the power of the anointing that’s upon your life. The Kingdom of heaven is expanding into the earth. Lives will be awakened to the knowledge of God. The Anointed One is here. The One who covers. Do not fear My people, I am spreading My great wings over you. My purposes in you are protected.
Leaders, be bold and open your mouth. Do not compromise with the world, take your stand on the side of righteousness. Come to me with all your needs and you will see my power move on your behalf. stir up the gift that is in you, stir up the fire and the passion for My Glory. Do not be lukewarm in this hour. Be hot for My Presence and dare to speak My word.
Ask now the Father for the anointing of the Holy Spirit and of Power. You have need of it. I am sending the anointing of the fierceness of the Lion upon my people to take back what has been lost. Let faith arise to begin to see the possibilities and watch as the seemingly impossible begins to manifest in your life and in your sphere as demonic strongholds fall and crumble. Always remember My promise to you is yes and amen.
Falling, falling, falling, demonic strongholds are falling. Prayer eruption is occurring in the earth bubbling up from the ground, causing strongholds to fall. I am moving in the earth. Watch me! Watch and see what I will do! Be in awe of the moving of My Mighty Hand.”
Recently, I published a prophetic word where I heard the Lord say: “A FREEFALL is occurring. As corporations go into freefall the enemy is enraged, is mobilizing, and preparing counterassaults. Don’t be surprised as the earth begins to rumble. Hear the sound of rumbling under the surface that is about to erupt. My strong Right Arm is raised and will descend upon multinational corporations and governments founded on deep malevolent Luciferian practices. Their foundations go deep into the very bowels of hell. I also will go deep, reaching into the very core and root of the corruption. This will cause tremors and earthquakes to break out in key places where the gates of hell have been opened. The deep rumbling of the storm of My Presence is rolling through the earth and will be felt by all.
Shortly after I published this word, the Lord dropped the word ‘Firefall’ into my spirit. I had never heard this word before and did some investigating that brought much revelation of the things God is saying for this hour. Firstly, I discovered that a firefall refers to a tree whose fall is caused by the partial destruction of its roots in a ground fire. I believe God was referring to what He had shown me in this word regarding thefreefallof governments, and multinational corporations that are presently falling. These arefirefalls, that are toppling and going into a freefall caused by ground fires.
Ground fire is the second thing the Lord had me investigate. I had never heard of a ground fire, so with some digging I found that, wildfires can start in tthe subterranean level as ground fires and gradually grow to form surface fires after breaching to the surface. Unlike surface fires which are easily put out, ground fires are tough to contain due to their existence below the surface.
With this revelation, the Lord then said, “My people have not been aware of the power of their prayers—prayers that I have empowered at deep subterranean levels of the Earth now causing the toppling of the high towers of death and iniquity. This was confirming what the Lord said in the previous word: ‘I also will go deep reaching into the very core and root of the corruption.’ He continued: “The prayers of my saints are working from deep within the ground and up, causing a shaking and creating cracks in the Earth’s systems.” Again, confirming what He had said previously:‘Thiswill cause tremors and earthquakes to break out in key places where the gates of hell have been opened.” “The Earth is rumbling and shaking with the movement of My Spirit through the voice of the prayers of the Armies of the Living God. Be encouraged, your prayers are not in vain!”
“Watch for earthquakes occurring in the nations of the Earth as My Plumb Line of Justice and Truth falls, working to create fractures and divisions in the systems of these demonic entities. The great buildup of stress and iniquitous energy in the Earth is creating fault lines and will cause earthquakes and much confusion within the enemy’s camp. Many will be shaken and come out from under the mesmerizing spirit that has ensnared them. Pray for My Mercy to fall on them.”
The Lord then had me investigate a third word, the word was groundswell.It meansa broad deep undulation of the ocean, often caused by a distant storm or an earthquake (Wordnik). In this definition the Lord showed me that the intercession of the armies of God—the groundfires at the deep subterranean levels, is triggering the rumbling of His Presence across the Earth and empowering His movements. As heaven draws ever closer, the Earth is reeling and swaying from the clash of kingdoms. This great undulation of the ocean floor will see the eruption of Tsunami waves of the Lord’s Presence occurring, coming to cleanse the Earth.
The Lord then reminded me of a word I had published on April 19th where He said: ““I am the Storm! And the release of My servants in Christ is the Storm that I will unleash on the Earth.” There is a Tsunami wave about to break over the Earth, but the Lord is saying, “The release of My army is the coming Tsunami Wave!”
“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.” Acts 17:6
The word groundswell also means: a sudden gathering of force, as of public opinion. The Lord is showing me that the winds of change are blowing and gathering force. Momentum in the change of public opinion is building and will turn the tide, working to usher the lost into the Kingdom of God. Expect clashes to occur as these things will enrage the enemy who see these times as their ‘great opportunity’ to implement their agenda for Global governance.
It is time to adopt a mindset of eternity and begin to think eternally. To function effectively in these times, it will be important to begin to live from a spirit fully yielded to God. The Lord is calling His people to separate from Babylon—the world and the things of the world. The choice before us is to either compromise or to pursue God’s full intentions and His full thought. For churches, the question to leaders remains, will you become an institution, or a Living Organism moved by the very heartbeat of God?
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”1John. 2:15
The Saints have lost their heavenly Kingdom position it once occupied. It was first lost when it abandoned God’s Word declaring His choice of Israel as the administrative center of the Kingdom of God and Jerusalem—the City of God where Christ has positioned Himself eternally. Jerusalem was the first outpost and the Ekklesia of the Kingdom. Authority has been since yielded to a Babylonian system run by Luciferians. God has declared that Babylon will fall and has said to come out of her.
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
The line is being drawn and the time of separation of the wheat and tares is here. The process of separation will make the Church uncomfortable and will clash with carnal ways of thinking not aligned to the mind and heart of God. There are benevolent virtues that become unsanctified when separated from the intentions of God, such as unsanctified mercy, unsanctified love, and unsanctified submission where there is evil intent. These are traps of the enemy to get us off course to hinder us. We must love what God loves and hate what He hates. We can love the sinner without embracing their sin. The Lord commanded us to speak the truth in love…not to compromise on the truth.
The Armies of God have crossed over into the promised land to take back what rightfully belongs to God! A new breed of people are arising for this hour, that God has been refining in His fire. They will emerge in Glory and in strength—a courageous army of great authority born from obedience, and intimacy with the Lord, fully consecrated living sacrifices. They are a new breed modeled after Christ—an Elijah generation.
The hearts of this generation of saints are presently being circumcised in preparation for Glory in the Day of God’s Power! The knife is being put to agendas founded upon good ideas and to the flesh in areas of compromise. They have crossed over into a pause of consecration at the Hand of the Lord, as they are supernaturally positioned and secured in a place of strength for a great release into fullness of destiny at Pentecost.
God is able to do much in our hearts during the times when we are still and quiet before Him—it is the GRAND PAUSE or rest before the music re-starts.The term Grand Pause is a musical term, that refers to a period where the music stops, and there is a pause that creates great anticipation before the music begins once again.
I believe that a Great Release is upon us at Pentecost, and we are in THE PAUSE where there is still time to prepare our hearts! In scripture a Passover is spoken of where there were some who were unclean for various reasons could not participate in the Feast at God’s ordained time. Moses inquired of the Lord about this, and God answered in Numbers 9:11. This Passover Feast became known as the Second Chance Passover. According to Jewish writings, the day represented a “second chance” for repentance and return. I believe that this is very significant in the timings of God for 2022. The number 911 and that the Feast fell in 2022 on May 14th, the night of a blood moon is also significant!
People can seek forgiveness for wrongs they have committed at any time, but in relation to what God is about to do, the time is now! God mercifully allows time for those who have either not understood or have not taken this time apart to consecrate themselves to Him at a deeper level. Those who are ready to move out with Him must be fully consecrated to Him. God is looking for His Samuels:
“Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before My anointed forever.” 1Samuel 2:35
The Holy Spirit was sent to complete the work of God and prepare a people for Glory! He comes possessing THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD and bearing the DIVINE BLUEPRINT of all that is to be built and done for God, in the name of God.
The Holy Spirit is the anointing of power. He comes bearing the oil of Power for the Work at hand. Surrender in full consecration is surrender to the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit. This is not a general surrender. It is a specific surrender, for a specific work, in a specific timeframe.
I believe all that has taken place in the Body of Christ up to this point has been TRAINING AND PREPARATION FOR THE CHURCH’S GREATEST HOUR IN ITS HISTORY!
Those who have willingly allowed Him to refine them in the fire, who have a FORTITUDE OF SPIRIT TO OCCUPY AND HOLD THE GROUND HE GIVES, are about to be released in masse to penetrate and infiltrate the kingdom of darkness to capture and rescue its prey!
There is a clear pattern in scripture that shows that when the work is finished, the Glory comes. Once Moses had finished the work of constructing the tabernacle, the Glory of God filled it:
“So Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the meeting and the glory of God filled the tabernacle.”Exodus 40:33-34
It is quite astonishing and hard to grasp, that the unlimited, omniscient, transcendent, and eternal God, would possibly choose to take up residence within an earthly structure. However, God chose to place His Glory in the restricted space of the tabernacle and the Temple of God, where His Presence was apparent and palpable. The Presence of the Lord was so thick that Moses himself was unable to enter.
“Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” Exodus 40:35
This same pattern can be seen in the building of Solomon’s Temple. Solomon followed every detail of the blueprint his father David received from the Lord. The scriptures record that God gave David specifications of the blueprint in writing, revealing that the work had to be according to the Lord. When the temple was finished, the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant into the Holy place where they removed its poles showing that it was to become God’s permanent resting place. When the priests withdrew the Glory came.
“When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.” 1 Kings 8:10-11
The Shekinah Glory of God filled Solomon’s Temple once the work had been completed, just as it had filled the Tabernacle in the wilderness when it was completed. It was the finishing of the work according to God’s plan that brought the supernatural outpouring of God’s presence. The Glory comes upon the finished work!
This pattern is also seen in Ezekiel’s temple. After eight chapters of specifications for the building of the temple, the very last verse of this book declares over the Temple and the City: YAHWEH SHAMAH, “THE LORD IS THERE.” God crowns it with His Glory and Presence.
As born-again believers, we have now become the Temple of God, and the pattern remains! The Holy Spirit works through sanctification to bring us into this place of completion. God’s plan has always been to COMPLETE US WITH HIS GLORY as He has promised in His Word to take us from Glory to Glory.
At the very beginning of my walk with the Lord, He showed me Isaiah 40:4-5 as the process of sanctification that He takes us through corporately and individually. It is a holy work He does in His people that concludes with Glory.
“Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together….”
The High places of pride, the low places of unbelief and discouragement, the crooked places of error that do not line up with the plumb line of God’s Word, are brought together to form a straight path, illustrating the way of the Cross that leads to Glory. The rough places made smooth is the very last phase of the work that is the finishing or polishing of His saints, where He works to bring them forth, shining in the Glory as a vessel indwelt in fullness with the manifest Presence of God. The Glory of the Lord SHALL be Revealed! This is the promise of God!
There is a Glorious army being finished and polished, now massing at the borders of the Promised Land. They are led by the Commander of the Armies of the LORD and are poised to conquer and take the land of Promise with the SHOUT of the King among them. They are a new breed modeled after the tribe of Benjamin.
BENJAMIN RISING
Benjamin is a warrior tribe representing the new breed arising for the hour. Jacob had twelve sons representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Each tribe was distinct in its gifting, anointing, and God’s purposes. Benjamin was the youngest son born to Rachel during very hard labor.
“Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor…” Genesis 35:16
Rachel’s labor represents the hard travail His people go through to birth the purposes and will of God in the Earth. Rachel died during the travail to bring fort this son.
“And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.” Verse 18:
Rachael wanted to call the child Ben-Oni meaning son of my sorrow, because of her great travail. But Jacob intervened and called him Benjamin meaning son of my right hand or son of my strength.
We are not to focus on the trial and the sorrow of giving birth but rather we are to look to God and what He is doing in it to bring forth strength and authority in us. Benjamin comes forth in travail as the son of the Father’s Right Arm—son of His strength—IN ORDER TO RULE.
Before Moses’ death, he speaks a prophetic word over each of the twelve tribes of Israel; of Benjamin he said:
“The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety (refuge and security) by Him, who shelters him all day long; and he shall dwell between His shoulders.” Deuteronomy 33:12
The position between the Lord’s shoulders is one of authority, rule, and headship—one of Government. Both Jeremiah and Paul were from the tribe of Benjamin. These were men who displayed the character, disposition, and anointing of great leadership, power, and possessing the endurance prepared for the last days. I heard the Lord say, I am returning through the tribe of Benjamin.
Paul and Jeremiah born from the tribe of Benjamin—the son of God’s Right Arm, represent the apostolic/prophetic warrior tribe prepared to usher in the Return of Christ. The right hand of God also represents the Double portion blessing belonging to the Firstborn son.
“Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.” Genesis 48:17
God’s Right Arm also represents strength and power in battle:
“Your right hand, O LORD, has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has dashed the enemy in pieces. Exodus 15:6
“…among the mighty men, helpers of the war. They were armed with bows and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, they were of Saul’s brethren of Benjamin.2 Chronicles 12:1-2
God’s Right Arm also represents victory in battle:
“You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right Hand will seize all who hate you.” Psalm 21:8
“As your name deserves, O God, you will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand is filled with victory.”Psalm 48:10
“For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them.” Psalm 44:3
Benjamin goes before as A LEADER FOR THE LAST DAYS. A great throng of Benjamin leaders is now being raised up as the generals who will lead the battles of the last days and lead the procession of the King up to His Throne—to prepare the way of the LORD. These leaders are the strength of God’s right arm, birthed in travail for such a time.
Interestingly in Psalm 68, which is a picture of the end time procession of the King up to His Throne in Jerusalem, we see Benjamin at the head, leading the tribes of Israel ahead of Judah.
“Your procession has come into view, O God, the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary… There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them, there the great throng of Judah’s princes, and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.” Psalm 68:24,27
There is a time and season for every purpose under heaven. God’s purpose in Benjamin is for the last day campaign to bring forth the King’s Return. God is now doing the finishing work of polishing His people…making the rough place smooth…getting us ready for His Glory to be revealed in us!
The city assigned to Benjamin was Jerusalem, the great City of the King; they lead the procession of the King up to Jerusalem. LET BENJAMIN NOW ARISE—SON OF MY RIGHT ARM!
For the last two years through 2020 and 2021 the saints were praying, interceding, and decreeing fervently for Canada and the nations to awaken and rise to their place in this hour, yet we saw very little fruit, and the heavens seemed to be silent. Toward the end of 2021 The Lord began to stir my spirit for 2022 and said “Watch and see what I will do!” I sensed, He was saying that as it was 2022—the beginning of the third year, a third Day Resurrection Glory was about to be released. The words of the song kept ringing in my heart: “The ground began to shake! The stone was rolled away! His perfect love would not be overcome. Now death where is your sting, our resurrected King has rendered you defeated!
As on the third day after Jesus’ burial, the ground is now shaking, and the stones are being removed. Just as the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit moved to raise Jesus from the dead, so, now in 2022, the morning of the third day a people are being awakened as God rises to shake the demonic agenda! In 2022 God is shaking the powers in the heavens, and they are trembling in fear at His increasing Presence as they know their time is short. His Glory rising in the Earth will begin to suffocate and confuse their agenda! The
One Who sits on the Throne—He rules the heavens and the Earth! Jesus, is the Lamb slain on the Cross, the Savior, and Redeemer… He is all these things to us! However, He is also the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who has been given authority to rule and judge the Earth. When God rises to shake the earth, His wrath is released against principalities and powers, and hosts of wickedness in high places. However, when He rises to shake these powers, the whole world is also shaken, and warfare and turmoil breaks out, on the earth as it now has.
I believe God is now moving to release His resurrection power to also remove some stones in His peoples lives this year—stones hindering your way, hindering your progress, hindering doors from opening for you. The ground is shaking on the earth, and the ground is shaking beneath you that will open the door in front of you, releasing you to represent Christ in this hour in Glory. In 2022 a people are being awakened and are coming out of the tombs they have been in. We will begin to see the Glory of God rising in the Earth in His people, as His resurrection Life moves to shake the nations and every structure and sphere that can be shaken.
The shaking that comes is from the Presence of the Life of Christ drawing close to the present Global situation. Resurrection Life and Power is Glory! The Life and substance of God is Glory! The weight of His Presence is Glory! We will be receiving increased levels of His Glory as His word promises that He is moving us from Glory to Glory.
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which CANNOT BE SHAKEN, let us have grace, BY WHICH WE MAY SERVE GOD acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”Hebrews 12:28
There are three key parts to this scripture, first the word therefore. Therefore what? Therefore, SINCE YOU CAN’T BE SHAKEN in this time of shaking across the earth, this is your now time to SERVE GOD. God is saying this is your time to serve Him, to rise and to declare God in your life; to declare God in your ministry. In 2022 God will be giving us the keys of Isaiah 22:22 to open doors that we may serve Him acceptablyin the shaking! God is opening the door to move us into the Glory of His Life—His Zoe life.
Zoe Life – G2222
“…one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life (zoe).”
Other translations say an endless life—zoe life is the endless eternal, indestructible life we have been gifted. The scriptures declare that the same Spirit of Glory that raised Jesus from the dead, is the same Spirit of resurrection Glory that dwells in His people and that Gloryis the Life of Christ (Rom. 8:11).
“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christwas raised from the dead through the GLORY OF THE FATHER, we too may live a NEW LIFE (Zoe).”For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION…” Romans 6:4-5
Jesus was raised from the dead through Glory—through the Glory of the Father, as the Word says! An impartation of Glory and Zoe was given at salvation that all born-again believers would be made NEW IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS GLORY, and the GLORY OF HIS DIVINE NATURE. Just as Jesus was raised from the dead by Glory of the Father, we now have this new Zoe Life that transforms us in the LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION as this scripture states. Zoe life is Glory and is also represented by the number God is putting emhasis on this year 2222.
THE YEAR OF KEYS
2022 will be THE YEAR OF KEYS that opens the door to His rising Glory, working to bring forth and release a new breed of saints—an army of the glorious sons of God. God made a covenant with His son David as the king of His people Israel, that David would always have a son seated on His Throne on Earth, who would be given the keys to the kingdom as revealed in Isaiah 22:22. Keys that open, that no one has the power to shut. Keys that shut and lock doors that no man has the power to open.
Jesus the Son of David represents in the natural a picture of the ultimate King prophesied of in the Word. Everyone born-again into His Zoe life now becomes a king in the line of David. Jesus, the King of kings holds the key of David (Rev. 3:7).
“There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. His delight is in the fear of the LORD…” Isaiah 11:1-3
In this historic hour, we have been chosen and called to serve the living God in, let us dig down deep to find the River of Zoe Life within that connects us to God and to the Throne. Everything needed is has been placed within us as the Living God resides within us. He is EVERYTHING we need! It is important to do whatever it takes to take hold of this opportune moment fashioned for you to break into the fullness of your call. The Lord is about to do MARVELOUS WORKS in and through our lives. Begin to open the doors to receive His Glory by spending much time in His Presence and by raising your voice to praise And exalt Him over your life as His Life is in you!
“Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth…” 1Ch 16:8-11
2022 will see the Christ King rise in Revelation Glory in and through His saints. It will be an Isaiah 61 year as the Harvest breaks free from its imprisonment to blindness, and the year of the Favor of the Lord breaks the saints free into the fullness of their Call and destiny. The world is about to experience what it means for the Lord to arise from His place to confuse and scatter His enemies. 2022 will be the beginning of a time of explosive movement, both in the spirit and in the natural, as kingdoms clash over the dominion of the Earth. These are days the saints have longed for as we will see the power of God move in the miraculous through His people, but will also stir the wrath of the hosts of wickedness producing great turbulence in the Earth.
The saints living today are the generation—a Forerunner Party that tracks with Christ in the days moving forward. We are being invited to embrace the transcendent Call on this generation of leaders to apprehend its scope through the prism of the apostolic/prophetic dynamic of this significant epoch of history. The Lord has put on my heart certain keys that must be in operation in our lives to be able to navigate our way through 2022 as so many prophetic voices are in unison that it will be a year of great shaking. So, what does that shaking mean and what does that look like?
Great Shaking!
In the years ahead we will be experiencing the effects of shaking in both the spiritual and the natural realms. The powers of the heavens are being shaken producing turmoil, violence, and great unrest in the Earth. In the natural the shaking will cause storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, drought, and famine. Shaking will also cause an earthquake in the leadership of all spheres—a changing of the guard in the political, economic, and religious realms.
Now is the time to be found in the place God where God is positioning you. There are very volatile regions in the United States and other nations where people should prayerfully seek the Lord if they should be moving to safer places of refuge. It is vital to world security that America stands strong and does not succumb to the tyranny of Global powers. The democratic party has seized the opportunity in this time of emergency powers, to surrender America to Global actors under the guise of Equity. They will not surrender the House, the Senate, or the Presidency and will do whatever it takes to keep power no matter how diabolical…wisdom is to be prepared and equipped for any sudden events, trusting in the Lord to guide us and holding fast to His Word.
“Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.” Psalm 112:6-8
Repentance & Humility Vs Eating & Drinking
Isaiah chapter 22 provides us with prophetic insight for 2022. In this chapter, we see that God was very angry with Israel and was about to release sweeping judgments over the land. The leaders and the people did not understand or discern the times and what was about to come upon them. God was calling for national repentance for abandoning His ways and His Word, but they refused to hear or understand. As in the days of Noah they were eating and drinking without any concern for their destiny or for eternity.
“The Lord, the LORD Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth. But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! “Let us eat and drink,” you say, “for tomorrow we die!” Isaiah 22:12-13
The issue of eating and drinking is highlighted many times in scripture, directly relating to an attitude of heart that is primarily concerned with satisfying the things of the flesh as opposed to the things of the Spirit and having eternal value. Paul quotes this very scripture in addressing the realities of eternal life and resurrection, as reasoning for endurance and perseverance through times of much persecution.
“If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 1 Corinthians 15:32
Jesus also spoke into the complaint of the Pharisees over the issue of eating and drinking:
“They said to Him, “John’s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.” Luke 5:33
Jesus’ answer pointed them to the understanding of the time and season of things and revealed to them that the time would come after He left that they would fast and pray. If ever there was a time to fast and to pray…this would be it! In another instance, Jesus linked this attitude of carnal living to the times surrounding His appearing. Rather than a time of humility, unity in their stance, the people chose division and reveling, He said:
“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. It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.” Luke 17:27-28
The word of God says that there is a time and a season for every purpose under heaven. It is vital for the people of God who serve Him and His purposes to understand the season and dynamic of the times we are called to, otherwise, we will be caught out of sync with the Lord’s purposes. This is a time for intentional and single-minded focus in service to God, where we bind our hearts and minds to His, and travail with Him to see His will come upon the Earth.
Principles to Live By:
Over the holidays, God led me on four different occasions to read Ecclesiastes ten, eleven, and twelve highlighting certain principles to embrace for the year ahead:
Always trust in the Lord’s faithfulness and maintain a peaceful demeanor in all circumstances. Even if leaders or government officials come against you stay focused:“If a ruler’s anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest.” Ecclesiastes. 10:4
The principle of sowing and having a generous heart will keep us through tough times, as we will reap in kind:“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper…” Ecclesiastes 11:1-2, 6
God’s word to those who are wealthy and have much, is that this is not the time to withhold or to hoard: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” 1Timothy 6:17-18
Embrace the fear of the Lord as it is what keeps us safe, secure and in right standing with God, as He resists pride: “…here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14
In times such as these be vigilant to guard your heart, be very careful with your words and discerning about those around you: “Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird in the sky may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.” Ecclesiastes 10:20
As God instructed Noah and his family to get into the ark, the Father is now trumpeting the call to get into the ARK of Christ—to become built together into a holy structure prepared for Glory. In the days ahead, out of our Isaiah 22:22 inheritance, there will emerge an Isaiah 22:22 Army who has the Lord’s heart and serve the His interests to usher in His will. In His will, they will open doors no one can shut and close doors no one can open. The Lord will lead, He will guide, He will give the strategies and lead His people to victory!
The Glory Train is about to depart from assigned and chosen stations. According to Wikipedia, the Golden Spike was the ceremonial 17.6-karat gold spike, the final spike that was driven uniting two major railroads across the United States. Tracks are needed for trains to run on. The Glory train of Heaven is about to unite with prepared stations where the tracks have been made ready for the final Golden Spike to be driven into place! God’s Golden Spike is about to be driven into sure and anointed places, prepared by God over decades to carry His Glory.
“And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.” Isaiah 22:22-23
Throughout history, the wreckage over nations—the mark of the ancient spirit of Empire, is seen in the havoc it has wreaked through a multitude of wars over the Earth, with two world wars in the twentieth century. This spirit invaded the hearts and minds of ancient and modern rulers, moving them to grandiose and expansionist thoughts, inspiring the invasion and occupation of lands and territories of other nations.
The Empire spirit is now once again rearing its monstrous head, moving the peoples of the earth toward wars and rumors of wars, and possibly World War III. The aggressive expansionist ideals of corrupt rulers are founded upon the obsessive desire to increase their sphere of influence, possess power, and economic dominance on the world stage. One such nation is China, now moving to expand its territory into the China Seas, and its influence in East Asia and beyond into the world; they are moved by global aspirations to dominate other nations and territories. Russia, by its recent actions, is revealing its desire to reclaim lands once lost, expand its territory, and remerge once again as a global military power in the world.
As prophesied in Scripture, a new phenomenon birthed from this spirit is presently emerging on the world stage—a New World Order and Global empire, governed and administered under Global law. Governance of the New World Order, established and ruled by the wealthiest of the world, is now poised to emerge through the United Nations and its subsidiary organizations. This is not coming; it has already begun! After the COP26 conference in Glasgow, the W.E.F.–author of the Global Reset, released a document on Global Law to initiate this agenda, see here. The U.N. is also calling for Global governance by 2023 as declared in a newly released document: OCA – Our Common Agenda Summit of the Future 2023, which will highlight the twelve spheres where governance will be employed.
This Global Empire, which the books of Revelation and Daniel refer to as the beast, is unique in its composition and its ideology, where leaders of nations willingly surrender their authority to the seat and power of the wealthiest. This Empire now rearing its head, is the dragon of Revelations chapter twelve, wherein this and in many other passages the beast is described as having seven heads, seven crowns, and 10 horns, representing nations in collusion and in agreement with the beast.
“For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17
The terror of this beast, that marks it as unique from all others, is that its ideology, founded on Marxism and Fascism is administered and governed through new advanced technology, Artificial Intelligence, advanced military supersonic weaponry, and cyber warfare—all providing it with the ability for absolute control over humanity and the earth.
“…behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth...Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise…” Dan. 7:7, 23-24
Revelation twelve, reveals that as the powers of heaven are shaken, it releases great warfare in the spiritual realms and on Earth. Michael and his angels fight with this dragon and the dragon was cast down, along with his angels, to the realm of the earth:
“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” Revelation 12:12
I believe this is what has presently taking place, as the scale of demonic infiltration of the heads of all spheres, all mountains, and nearly all governments is astounding and staggering. The enemy and their allies are moving at a rapid pace, planned over decades, but initiated in late 2019 when the takeover was sealed. Their agenda to seize control of all nations and to bring them under subjugation is now accelerating. The world is now under the sway of the global demonic rule of an antichrist spirit that seeks to take down Christianity, the nation of Israel, and the people of God.
“These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:13-14
The enemy, hidden over the ages is now emerging into the light, boldly and brazenly displaying their power and control over the leaders of the world. Their agenda, though seemingly benevolent, will do nothing for mankind other than to supply power to the antichrist spirit and the man of peace who will come as a representative of the kingdom of darkness and Satan. Recently, a giant statue of a beast was positioned outside the United Nations headquarters in New York City; it is called “The Guardian of International Peace and Security”
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Revelation 13:1-2
The dragon of Revelation twelve, was intent on devouring the Man-Child, given birth by the woman and represents the emerging sons of God brought forth to rule with Christ and legislate the heavens over nations. The saints have been chosen and called in this hour, to become history makers, and usher in the rule of Christ.
The world and its peoples are presently traveling on a trajectory through the Cross as it is purified, refined, and made ready to carry the King and bear the weight of His glory at His return. The people of God, the intercessors, and the Apostolic leaders of the global Body of Christ must seek the Kingdom for God’s strategies, begin to implement them, and legislate the heavens as Daniel did with the Lord.
This is the time for all people who love freedom, who love God, and love righteousness to be awakened, to mobilize, and to cry out to God for the solutions to the challenges of this age. God is the Sovereign Ruler of this world, and He alone has the agenda to turn this world right side up. Our King is coming with a Kingdom agenda that is brilliant in wisdom, that is divine, that holds the answers to liberty and freedom.
The world is now in crisis in every sphere. We are in trouble. We need a Savior! We need divine intervention! The Lord has said in His Word that if we wouldhumble ourselves; if we wouldturn from our wicked ways, if we would in all humility seek His face, He would hear our cries and He would heal our land. We are powerless to make any changes of significance without Him.
As evil rulers seek to fulfill their agenda, our hearts must not become distracted from the Harvest. The world is about to be shaken from its iniquitous roots by the supernatural power of the Gospel, accompanied by signs, wonders, and miracles, that unshackles the Harvest…its important to be spiritually ready!
The Revelation of the Christ
The world is about to receive the Revelation of the Christ in His Majesty and Power, as He rises to extend His hand of love and forgiveness to the peoples of the world—to those willing see, hear, and receive the Gift He is offering of salvation and eternal life with Him. To receive the Revelation of Christ is not only to see the Majesty of His Grace, but it is also to receive the Revelation of His power, His righteousness, and His wrath against evil. This Revelation of Christ is about to begin!
As the Lord draws near, the very closeness of His Presence will cause the demonic Kingdom and the spirits of wickedness to shake, initiating great warfare. As great turbulence comes upon the earth, the people of God must be found rooted, grounded, and deeply anchored within Christ. We cannot afford to be shaken by the swirling events on the earth. The saints are called to be the ones who will say to those who are fearful hearted: do not fear, God will come! He will come to save! We abide in His faithfulness (Is. 35:4).
The Kingdom of God is advancing. It is drawing close as the veil gets thinner and thinner. All human structures will be brought low and come under the sway and scrutiny of our Mighty King as Kingdom authority is established in the Earth.
As I wrote in my last word, Revelation 12:5 is a prophecy of Jesus written in Psalms 2:9. It describes the Man Child that rule with a rod of Iron (KJV). However, Jesus decrees this very prophecy over the overcoming saints of His Ekklesia, in preparation for what was to follow in the rest of the book.
“And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—’HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; THEY SHALL BE DASHED TO PIECES LIKE THE POTTER’S VESSELS’— as I also have received from My Father…”Revelation 2:26-28
The Greek word rod in this passage is the word rhabdos and means, a baton of Royalty, a staff or office of authority—a sceptre. Jesus received this Rod of Royaltyand Authority from His Father and has given it to His overcoming saints, to execute and enforce His mandate for Global Dominion:
“Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron… ” Psalms 2:8-9
Daniel declared and Jeremiah demonstrated that the heavens do rule (Dan.4:26). Israel became a nation once again after two thousand years in 1948 and took back the city of Jerusalem in 1967 because the heavens do rule!We serve an omnipotent, unchangeable God Who rules over all the affairs of the earth, all human government, and does as He wills. As shown in Revelation 17:17, it was God who put it in the heart and minds of world rulers to surrender their nations to the Beast, as He will, in one fell swoop take out the entire beast system.
“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” Revelation 18:2-4
In January of 2020, during a time of worship, I received a vision of myself standing in a boat in the middle of the ocean, with my hands raised in joyous worship in the middle of a great storm. I then heard the words of the song Raise a Hallelujah:…in the middle of the storm. The Lord then spoke to me and said that this was to be my posture for 2020. Recently, as I sought Him for direction for 2022, I became overwhelmed by His Presence and saw a picture of dark stormy skies and Jesus standing in a small boat in the middle of the ocean beckoning to me to get in. At first, I was somewhat confused as I remembered the first vision of 2020, and because, in scripture Jesus stands on the water beckoning Peter. The words of the song Oceans then penetrated my thoughts: “You call me out upon the waters, The great unknown where feet may fail.”
I sensed that God was calling me to get into the boat with Him on a journey into the great unknown, and that His Sovereign Hand would be my guide. I sensed that the Lord was saying that what lay before us, though unknown was already secured in Him. The Body of Christ was launching out with Him on the beginning of a most notable Journey where He alone controlled the oars, He leads the way, and His Sovereign Hand would be our guide. We are moving into a remarkable season of fulfilled destiny and inheritances received—to stand as unshakeable pillars of strength during a time of great shaking and great Awakening.
The Lord directed me to fast and draw close to become anchored and deeply rooted in Him for the year ahead. The great birthing of our Call and the seeds God implanted within us is about occur. A divine intervention is coming to empower us and break us into this historic time, as we are powerless to produce the promises and will of God. Jesus’ ministry was launched out of the wilderness, after a forty day fast He came out filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe December is a time to fast and pray.
The times before us are somber, and it has become important to dig down deep to get to the River of God—the source of our peace, as His Peace guards our heart, and the source of our Joy as the Joy of the Lord is our strength. We are clearly living in a time of Government manipulation, great deception and propaganda, that will now be ramping up to another level, a time when great discernment and wisdom will be required. In the times of inflation, lack, and for some even famine, God will be our supply brought to us through the supply chain of the Angel armies of Heaven. God is well able to prosper us in times of famine as He did Isaac:
“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.” Genesis 26:12
One of the mighty moves of God that is about to be birthed is the Harvest. The shaking that is coming will shake loose the Great Harvest—now ripe and ready—from its iniquitous moorings. Much opportunity and power will be given to be witnesses of the great the love and compassion of our God. The Word of God says that the gospel is the Power of God onto salvation. We will see the power of the gospel released in supernatural miraculous ways, to bring forth revival an awakening as we have never seen.
I have been seeing the word SAC in capital letter in regard to the amniotic sac that protects and holds a baby in its mother’s womb. God then showed me that it was His acronym for a Strategic Apostolic Command that holds the will of God for this hour. The Earth is in a great travail that is about to bring forth a revelation of the Son of God; and the sons of God are in travail to birth the mighty moves of God and prepare the Lord’s way in revival and Awakening, charting the course for His future return.
The Breaker Anointing coming upon God’s present front line Apostolic leaders will break the SAC carrying the mighty, awesome strategies for the completion of God’s will for the end of this age. These are leaders who have died to their desire to be the leader, to control, to be the apostle or prophet, to be the one with the word. The SAC breaks when pressure is placed on it from the head of the Child. The volatility rising across the Earth from raging storms is causing pressure within the SAC to birth the Will of God. The breaker rests on the head.
“The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.” Micah 2:13
Adivine intervention is coming to empower us and break us into this historic time. As an anointed leadership is ready and the SAC breaks, the former and the latter rains of revival will converge, and merge releasing the River of God to gush forth over the earth as the waters covers the seas. Out of the womb of the SAC will break forth the Waters of Revival. With arms embraced and locked in purpose, rivers of living water are about to break forth from Canada and the United States over North America and into the world. God is about to show up in power and glory to shock the world awake with His Majesty, His love and His Power.
The Lord said that December was the time to position ourselves in the birthing posture. The Body of Christ has been praying, interceding, and travailing for two years over 2020 through 2021; we are about to see God move in the third year! In 2022, the Holy Spirit will break out to raise and release the Bride in Resurrection Glory and she will leave her dressing room.
In order to break forth into the birthing of this new season the Lord dropped the word COHESIVE into my heart. HE SAID HIS BODY MUST BECOME COHESIVE! The definition of cohesive is the action of forming into a united whole. He showed me that each of us individually was powerful in our own right; we are anointed, gifted and called, However, He stressed that this was not sufficient to serve Him for the challenges of these times. We must become a united whole in our movements, churches and ministries—a Body in one accord—wherever that is possible. The Commanded blessing shall be released upon gatherings that are in one accord to birth the Will of God.
Becoming united in the purposes of God has always been the struggle of the Church, as flesh, agendas and issues get in the way. I sense God is now saying that it is time to get rid of our idiosyncrasies, as the time is now, and the time is short.
After the Fall Feasts of 2021, we shifted into a kairos appointed time, and God began trumpeting the call to get ourselves ready to board His train. I hear the shout ‘ALL ABOARD’ now coming with urgency in December—the Glory train is preparing to depart from the station–the church building. Those trying to bring back the old ways need to get onboard! Things are moving at an accelerated pace and God has given us much time to get prepared and positioned, to get fully onboard with His will and His Word and the movements of the Wind of the Holy Spirit!
Storm clouds are presently brewing! Israel is preparing its people and mobilizing for war with Iran; Russia is mobilizing over a hundred thousand troops and tanks at the border of Ukraine, and China is making threatening fly overs, over Taiwan. The drum beat of war is sounding!
In the seven letters to the Ekklesia Jesus admonishes His people to become overcomers for the times of trouble. The book of Revelation is the uncovering and revelation of Christ in all His Power and Glory! Revelation 12 has been mistakenly taught to be the birth of Christ—it is the birth of the sons of God in union with the Son of God as the ruling authority for the times. Verse 5 describes the travail of the woman as giving birth to a Man Child that will rule with a rod of Iron (KJV). The Greek word for man is uihos and means a mature son. This verse is quoted 4 times in scripture and originates in Psalms 2:9 spoken by the Father to the Son. I believe this is the chief reason it has been taught that the birth of the Man Child is the birth of Christ.
“Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
However, Jesus Himself decrees this prophecy about Him, over the overcoming saints of His Ekklesia—that they may receive it just as He has received from His Father.
“And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—’HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; THEY SHALL BE DASHED TO PIECES LIKE THE POTTER’S VESSELS’— as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.” Revelation 2:26-28
Ruling with the fullness of this level of authority comes with the understanding of the necessity of an authentic union with Israel through Christ, whose feet and head are forever positioned in Jerusalem(Ez. 43:7). We are now being called to come to attention; to be secured and anchored; to gather, to mobilize and prepare to travail in intercession and to rule with Christ over the demonic winds and storms now swirling over the nations. All aboard!

In previous words that I have published, I have emphasized the importance of understanding the dichotomy of light and darkness, as I find that there is a tendency to emphasize either the glory side of things and the authority given to us, or the darkness and the shaking. Scriptures reveal a tension between these two truths. It is important not to be moved from either of these two concepts. When grappling with one, keeping the other before us will prevent us from becoming unbalanced or deceived. Isaiah 60 prophesies of both coming at the same time! This prophecy is fulfilled in the time when the earth is shaking and in deep travail for the sons of God to make their appearance with the Glory of God upon them.
Jesus told us that in the world we would have tribulation. God does not always keep us from trouble. There will come a time when the enemy is allowed to wreak havoc on earth and wear down the saints—a time when faith is tested and proven (Dan. 7:21-22). As noted throughout the Bible, those who serve God, walked through many trials, troubles, and battles. In times of need when they called on God’s help, He sent His Word, and His angelic host. When God’s will was made clear, the people stood in faith. In times of trouble, God will show forth His great power, with signs, and wonders. God will be targeting the lost and giving them an opportunity to become saved.
There are things that Jesus said that must happen. In Matthew 24 He said: “… all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet!” In response, our stance should then be, to set our faces and walk through these things with strength, wisdom, and with courage. As we align ourselves to the will of God, in the purposes of Christ—whatever that may be, we have authority to decree His Word and His will. More than ever, we need to understand the present dynamic, find our place in it, then take our stand in Christ for righteousness—this means coming to terms with the truth that it may not be pain free.
In a war there are battles. We have entered a time of war and there are battles we must fight that we will not be able to pray away. However, the saints will stand and shine in the midst of the shaking. We are being called to be and to reflect the light of Christ in the darkness. God did not keep Paul out of prison and most of the disciples died terrible deaths and we’re honored to do so.
In the book of Revelation, the seven letters to the seven churches were given to prepare the church and produce a new breed who would stand during the darkest hour of history. Jesus is very tough in these letters because of His great love for His people and His desire for them to stand strong and not be shaken in the time of trouble. We have been chosen and purposed to live in these times and called to the battle. God believes in us!
Jesus did not run away from the Cross—it was His destiny. Daniel did not decree away the Babylonian threat and captivity, he was called to live and reflect God within that social construct. Daniel lived in obedience to God, prayed the will of God, and angels attended his words. That is not to say that we ever accept defeat or live with an attitude of surrender. We stand if faith, we fight from a position of victory, and continually resist the enemy, while trusting God in His higher ways. God moves in perfect understanding of all things on a trajectory toward a specific outcome He has determined—one that may not line up with our ideas.
The two greatest means of survival given to us by God, is to align ourselves with the precepts of God in His Word and when we fall into error or miss the mark, we return in true repentance. More than anything, I believe that what God is after, is a people who will stand in glorious faith regardless of circumstances to declare the goodness of God, the praises of God and the Word of God to humanity—then trust Him with the rest, whatever may come.
THE PROTECIVE CANOPY OF HIS GLORY
In past words I have written I have also talked about the concept of systems. Many times, God reveals something to me without the full understanding of it, and with time it begins to become clearer—this is true in regard to this word system. In a past article, I wrote, I fully recognized that I did not understand much of what I was writing. I wrote:
“I then heard Him say, “Systems are deployed.” I wasn’t clear on exactly what that meant, so I checked the definitions of these words. The word system is defined as: A set of things working together as parts of an interconnecting network or mechanism: a complex whole. Of physics: a set of organs in the body with a common structure or function.
The word deploy means: To move troops or equipment into position for military action, to bring into effective action.
I believe both these words are key to what is presently taking place in the spiritual realm. The preparation that the saints have endured over the past 20-30 years under the hand of the Holy Spirit, has readied them to be deployed in the season of God’s ‘New Thing.‘ God’s creative Life Force is about to be unconstrained, let loose, and discharged through systems, and networks, deployed in strategic settings throughout the Globe.
These systems are comprised of saints who have committed to serve God in obedience, to link arms in authentic unions that become power packed with the energy force of God, ready to explode in the earth’s atmosphere. We are God’s storehouses, vessels where He has been storing and filling up with His treasures, prepared to serve the harvest in times of famine.
A friend of mine, recently shared with me that God revealed to him that He was about to establish Glory hubs all over the earth—and that many were being raised up to steward these Glory hubs. When He said that, I was reminded of Isaiah 4:5-6:
“Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.”
I believe these Glory hubs are cities of refuge and communities for the present and coming storms on the earth. They are God created systems established and designed to function as a network, a metron possessing the dynamic of the supernatural, where food, spiritual weapons of authority and heavenly provision are stored.
The word metron is used in 2 Corinthians 10:13 and is defined as a sphere or a portion. These are spheres set apart for God and His purposes—His portion. A metron in physics is a two-dimensional quantum of multi-dimensional space. In this, I believe God is revealing a measured-out sphere or hub of Glory, where Heaven meets Earth, and is imbued with a tangible dynamic of the supernatural.
These hubs are spheres and portals where the angelic ascend and descend with strategies, provision, and assistance. They work to accomplish the will of God in partnership with saints who have been intentional about becoming, one cooperative system—one network, functioning in unity, and working together to advance the cause of Christ.”
THE CALL FOR AUTHENTIC APOSTOLIC LEADERSHIP
On the World Economic Forum’s website, in one of their articles they cite five future trends and long-term effects of the pandemic. One is the building of hubs or what they call smart communities where everything is within reach, connected without cars and held together by digital technologies. This may sound wonderful to those who are trying to save the planet and conserve energy, but what they fail to tell you is the Marxist policies that will be implemented and deemed necessary for these hubs to run orderly and efficiently. This of course is the Globalists agenda; however, God has His blueprint for smart Spiritual Kingdom communities. Spiritual communities can only function based on the Spiritual principles of Scripture, undergirded by Apostolic, and prophetic leadership, who in turn have the cooperation of the community. God-ordained apostolic leadership, raised up for the times, will be key for receiving God’s directions, and His design and construction of a system that works for the provision, protection, and safety of His people.
There are billions of saints who are presently in need of direction, who are falling over the cliff in droves because of leaders who are misinformed, giving dangerous direction, or no direction at all. The Bible tells us that if the trumpet does not sound a clear sound, then who will listen. There is a sound that is needed that must come from a God ordained Apostolic leadership, in the mold of Joshua, raised specifically for these times. We have had a mixture of voices releasing a confusion of ideas and direction. A sound must come forth that is one sound, from a council of apostolic leaders who are in union. Through these leaders a clear sound will be released from heaven, that the people will acknowledge as they did with Joshua:
“Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses.” Joshua 1:16-17
Moses was faithful in all God’s house and was called to lead the people out of Egypt into an understanding of the protocols of becoming the people of God. However, Moses was not the leader God called to lead His people into war for the promised land—that leader was Joshua. The present Moses leadership must yield to the will of God and work with Him to commission the Joshua Leaders, anointed for the times to arise and take their place. Moses was blessed with wisdom to pastor the flock of God, but Joshua is empowered with an anointing for war to conquer and occupy the Promised land. Joshua is called to align with the Commander of the army of the LORD, for the new season of crossover. It is futile and even dangerous for leaders to try to occupy a position that they have not been fitted or equipped to occupy, especially in a time of war. As it was with Joshua, we are headed on a path we have never taken before. It is a path through turmoil and shaking, that will be completed and fulfilled in the promised land of the future millennial reign of Christ.
At this present time, it seems that we are in a crisis of leadership, where too many are either silent on crucial issues, or caught, for a variety of reasons, in subservience to the New World Order’s playbook. The sheep belong to God; they need shepherds who will guard, protect, and lead according to the will of God. People are desperate and are looking for those with answers. Too many leaders are compromised, not necessarily deliberately, but compromised by fear, personal agendas, or presumption. In a critical time when Israel needed strong leadership, God became very angry with the shepherds who were compromised. In Ezekiel 34, He sent a strong word to these shepherds that He held them accountable for His sheep and would lead them Himself.
“…I myself will search for my sheep and look after them.As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.” Ezekiel 34:12
A COUNCIL CALLED TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD!
In a time when unity is crucial to victory—as victory is where God commands the blessing, we cannot afford to be divided by criticism and infighting. Jesus is the only one who can unite leaders and mobilize them with a strategy for the hour, but only as they prostrate themselves before Him in the Spirit of humility. Unfortunately, it is usually in times of persecution that the people of God to begin to partner together for the Kingdom. The window of opportunity we have been given to rally together and mobilize as an army is closing at an accelerated rate.
In a war, to achieve victory, all departments, all divisions and all military branches work together to defeat the enemy. An army having weak leadership, with no clear strategy will be defeated as we are now witnessing on the world stage. The anointing God puts on His generals, demand honor and cooperation. The leaders that God is raising up to be His voice in these times must become evident to all.
Present leaders must identify, yield to and partner with those whom God has marked and has raised up to lead in this notable season. Pharoah understood this principle when he positioned Joseph as a leader over Egypt in the time of famine. This generation has been chosen to live in this significant hour, a time where the body of Christ must begin to take their place and make the choice to work together. We have arrived at an appointed moment in history, where God will be deploying the army of apostolic warriors He has prepared and equipped for such a time as this! Troops are about to be deployed, and sent out into the battlefield armed with the Love and the power of God. Initiatives and prepared Ministries are about to be released in fullness to have impact and weight in their assigned sphere.
Many Joshuas and Josephs are now being raised up to a position to administrate the Kingdom with wisdom through a time of famine and war. The Isaiahs, the Joshuas, Josephs, Deborahs and Marys must all take their place, called to the forefront on the front lines of the purposes of God, to prophesy, lead in battle and birth the will of God. These leaders will work together in a holy union to oversee Spiritual communities covered and protected by the supernatural Glory of God. Over the upcoming feast season, beginning on September 7th, I believe we will see God release a great number of leaders prepared by Him for the hour. Leaders are being called to the council and Presence of God. God will hold a Feast of Favor for this generation of leaders, set for them in the midst of their enemies.
The Book of Esther contains certain keys that provide revelation to help us in our understanding of the flow of events in the end times. King Ahasuerus, in the third yearof his reign, gave two feasts. The first banquet was held for the leaders and servants of the kingdom. As Jesus spent Himself on the twelve disciples before sending them out into the world, a banquet for those who serve Him today can be seen as a time of honoring His work of training and equipping those He has prepared for this hour. Leaders will receive a download from heaven and be filled with the treasures of God to release and impart what they have been given into the Body of Christ. This first banquet represents the birthing of the Man Child of Revelation 12—the birth of mature leadership.
“…he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all.” Esther 1:4
The second feast given was for all people and was held over seven days. Everyone in the kingdom was invited to this banquet. Within this feast, we see portrayed, a full representation of the Body of Christ. The gold goblets in which the wine was served represent all parts of the Body—the churches, ministries, and denominations. Each goblet was different from the other, showing the diversity of the Body of Christ, revealing that each vessel will be given wine to serve to the Harvest.
“…the king gave a banquet, lasting seven days in the enclosed garden of the king’s palace, for all the people from the least to the greatest…The garden had hangings of white and blue linen, fastened with cords of white linen and purple material to silver rings on marble pillars.” There were couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother of pearl and other costly stones. Wine was served in goblets of gold, each one different from the other, and the royal wine was abundant in keeping with the king’s liberality. By the king’s command each guest was allowed to drink in his own way, for the king instructed all the wine stewards to serve each man what he wished.” Esther 1:5-6 NIV
By the King’s command, everyone was allowed to “drink in his own way.” This represents a celebration that each part of the Body is invited to participate in. Everyone was free to celebrate in their own unique way. Some could be boisterous, while others may be more subdued. Some may take in everything quietly while others may shake, rattle and roll, dance, and wave their banners. Everyone is free to choose how they celebrate by the order of the King!
At this particular banquet, the queen was noticeably absent. It is possible that she thought that this level of frivolity was beneath her good sense. On the last day of the party when everyone was in high spirits, the King sends seven eunuchs to request Queen Vashti’s appearance, to display her beauty, but she refuses. Vashti is representative of the religious, those who are very Sad-u-see! I believe her thoughts may have gone something like this:
“Well!! I will definitely not show myself to this rabble, no respectable person would! Just look at them, all they are intent on is drinking wine and getting drunk, what good is that? It’s not even nine o’clock in the morning and they are plastered, thoroughly intoxicated. What’s the matter with them? Surely there could be more important things to be doing in the kingdom. They are an absolute disgrace. Just look at them running around exposing themselves in their undergarments, dancing and leaping around and making veritable fools of themselves in public. What a spectacle!!
“What!! You can’t be serious! The King is actually reveling with the rabble. Well, you can just tell him that I will have none of it! What utter nonsense! I will stay right here with my friends, those of my kind, and we will have our own feast with some biscuits and tall glasses of lemon juice.”
The only response that can be given to the Vashtis of the church is: “It was before the Lord” (2Sam. 6:21). Queen Vashti represents a portion of the Church today who will refuse to show up for the Wedding Feast. An invitation to God’s Feast is an invitation to live in His manifest Presence despite circumstances contrary to His joy and His Peace! The seven eunuchs who had access to the King advised him to depose Vashti as her disobedience and rebellion would only serve as a bad example or leaven that would ultimately spread like a disease into the kingdom. The queen not only misses out on the entire festivities—the joy and the celebration of the King, but is eventually exiled for her rebellion.
As the Queen, Vashti represents a religious leadership and rebellious Bride who will refuse to submit to God’s will. and His Word. There is a growing divide with in the Church between religious conformists who will acquiesce to the new world order’s demands for equity and inclusion, and those who will not bow.
LET THE BRIDE LEAVE HER DRESSING ROOM
In the growing darkness of these times, God’s desire is to showcase to the world the beauty of the Bride of Christ. The King intends to reveal His majesty, Glory, royalty, power and authority through His Bride. He is calling her to leave her dressing room to stand in His Presence at His side. In the parable of the wedding feast, God reveals that like Vashti, many who have been invited to His Feast will make light of it, refuse to show up, and will even try to kill those who are sent to call them.
“When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come! “So he sent other servants to tell them, ‘The feast has been prepared. The bulls and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!’ But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them.” Matthew 22:3-6 NLT
At this point, God sends His servants out with an open invitation to the world:
“Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding. So those servants went out to the highways and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.” Matthew 22:10
The Lord of the Harvest will invite the world to His Feast and make available in endless supply, vast amounts of wine to be served. The Harvest is being invited to an Agape Love Feast, the likes of which has never been seen before. They are being invited to a great celebration—not a lecture or a funeral.
In the early nineties, the Lord put on a Feast in Toronto—a possible precursor of the Wedding Feast? He invited the nations of the world to come to His celebration. The Body was fully represented as the many diverse and beautiful goblets of gold showed up to be filled with wine and everyone was free to drink as much as they wanted, in their own way, by the King’s command. God called a people together to become an army of laid down lovers of God, as the Holy Spirit worked to heal and refresh tired, broken-hearted leaders—to fill, train, and equip a new breed of leadership who would submit to Him wholeheartedly regardless of appearances and “good sense.“
ESTHER MAKES HER APPEARANCE
After Queen Vashti was deposed, we see the emergence of Esther. Esther is a true representation of the Bride. A reflection of Christ, prepared in submission, humility, and obedience. She followed all the instructions that Hegai the King’s eunuch (the Holy Spirit) gave her and won the King’s favor. Esther, who was a Jewish queen, today represents the return and restoration of Israel in union with Gentile believers, and the completion of the Israel of God—The one New Man!
Momentum is now gathering, and the real celebration will soon begin as plans are underway and preparations going forward for the Great Feast of the Great Harvest. The Feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled and taking place simultaneously all over the world. It is not too late for Vashti to make her appearance! Any Vashti’s reading this—God is inviting you to Come to His Feast. Come in obedience, and come in submission with an open heart. Esther is maturing and will soon be making her appearance—don’t be left out.
“Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.” Esther 5:1
The harvest is looking for the Father’s Agape love, not our judgment. The Lord’s Heart is for His Harvest. He has patiently been waiting thousands of years for this day. If the Harvest is the end of the age (Matt. 13:39), and the last feast to be fulfilled is the celebration for the Harvest and the closing of the harvest season—and if the multitudes which no man could number from every nation, tribe, and peoples came out of the great tribulation (Rev. 7:9-14), then the Body of Christ is headed for very turbulent times ahead, and a great deal of preparation needs to be made.
“See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it to receive the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” James 5:7-8
The early rains were released and poured out at Pentecost. The coming of the Lord in the “Day of His Power” for the Feast of Tabernacles will release the Latter Rain of Glory over the Earth drawing a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom. In the days ahead billions of souls will be coming in—the wedding hall will be filled! Is the Church ready to absorb the shock of this many souls coming in over a short period of time? Are we prepared to have billions of newborns in the House?
The Lord’s eyes are set upon His Harvest. He knows the exact number that will be coming in: “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of Gentiles has come in“ (Rom. 11:25). God knows the type of structure needed, and the measure of strength required to hold the multitudes, while standing anchored in Him through the coming storms. He also knows the type of care and ministry that is needed and must be provided to masses of broken lives that have been shattered by sin and despair.
The Bible tells us that the last days will be like the days of Noah and of Lot (Lk. 17:26-28); a time when the wickedness of man was great in the Earth (Gen. 6:5). The Lord gave Noah specific detailed instructions for building an ark that would survive the flood. When the ark was completed, the Lord told Noah to go in, for after seven days He would send a flood upon the Earth. When the ark was complete, the door was left open for seven days but only Noah and his family came in—the scoffers ignored the supernatural phenomenon taking place before their very eyes.
“So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood…And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.” Genesis 7:7-10
When Esther—the Bride makes her appearance in the last days, billions will be coming into the Ark of Christ because of the great sacrifice of the Saviour who paid in full the penalty for the sins of the world. A clash of kingdoms and Great warfare will break out over the Globe between light and darkness, in a ferocious battle for the souls of men. Nations and peoples are presently in the valley of decision maneuvering, shifting, and forming alliances with each other, choosing to either align themselves with the Lord and His anointed or against the Lord and His anointed and Israel, thereby aligning themselves with Satan and with evil. Your safety requires that you get your information from the Word of God and not the Media that is grossly slanted to demonic agendas. It is especially important now that we see, discern, and understand present Global realities, and the Globalists intentions through Spiritual eyes.
“The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against His anointed one. “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.” But the One who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. Then in anger He rebukes them, terrifying them with His fierce fury. For the Lord declares, “I have placed My chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on My holy mountain.” Psalm 2:2-6
Throughout the Bible, God employed the use of numbers to express spiritual truths, to mark and direct us to notable events on Heaven’s trajectory of movement up to Jerusalem and the future Reign of Christ. Certain numbers have been revealed to have great significance such as seven—representing completion of purposes; forty representing times of judgment, and 70, indicative of a generational shift into another spiritual dynamic. Another very significant number is three, used repeatedly to represent the sublime work of the Cross that covers the spectrum of death to resurrection realities. Recently the Lord has begun to highlight the Third Day and third-day realities evidenced by the Cross.
There are many powerful Third Day scriptures and passages that have been endued with a prophetic view to future events, apart from their fulfillment in their time. One such passage is Exodus 19:11 where the Lord told Moses to consecrate the people to get them ready for the Third Day when He would come down to them.
“Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.” Exodus 19:16
Similarly, in Joshua 1:11, the Lord told Joshua to tell the people to prepare and consecrate themselves for in three days they would cross over into the Promised Land. After three days the priesthood and the ark of the covenant led the way across the Jordan as the waters parted before them.
At another notable time, when the people of Israel faced a crisis of their annihilation, God raised up Esther as Queen to make an appeal before the king. Despite the possibility of death, Esther prevailed. The king granted her favor to decree the destruction of the enemies of the people of God and Israel was saved.
“Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.” Esther 5:1
Again, at another notable time, when Israel sinned in disobedience to God’s ordinances and departed from His ways, judgment was decreed upon them. They were taken captive by their enemies and went into exile. Through Hosea the prophet, God brought a charge against the nation, declaring that there was no truth, mercy, or knowledge in them, that they were destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hos. 4). God decided to hide Himself, with the intention that in their affliction, they would earnestly seek Him (Hos. 5:15). The Cry then came through Hosea:
“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
In Jesus’ time, He became very angry at what was taking place in His Father’s House and He drove the money changers out of the Temple. Because of this, the people demanded a sign as to the authority by which he could do such a thing, and Jesus answered them:
“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body. John 2:20-21
Jesus was not only referring to His body that would be resurrected after His crucifixion, but He was also referring to the House of God that would be built in His name on the foundation of His life. Jesus was the first fruit of many who would be fashioned and conformed in His image—a House of living stones built within three days.
“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. Mark 14:58
In the book of Peter, he taught that a thousand years were as one day to the Lord. Could it be, that we have arrived, at the time of the morning of the third day after Christ’s resurrection?
“But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2Peter 3:6-10
Have we arrived at the most notable moment of history, when, as with Moses on the third day, after a time of consecration God said He would come down, or, a time like Joshua when God told the people to consecrate themselves as on the third day they would crossover into the promised land—for us, it is the Promised Land of the millennial reign of Christ?
Are we in the time that Hosea prophesied of when God would revive Israel after two days and raise them up on the third day with the outpouring of the latter rain when Israel will once again live in His sight? Could it be as in the time of Esther when on the third day the Bride must go before the King and receive His favor to go on the offensive and decree the destruction of its enemies in the battles of the last days? Are we in the time of judgment and shaking that will result in the Return of the King, when the last stone will be placed in the House of God He has been building—the Headstone, raised and inaugurated on the Third Day?
Have we arrived at the end times? The Word of God says that the harvest is at the end of the age. Jesus said that the tares and the wheat must grow together to their fullness. What does the fullness of evil look like? I think we are in the early stages of experiencing what it will look like! What does the fullness of Christ look like? Ephesians 4:13 tells that we have been growing up into the fullness of the stature of Christ—being conformed to His image. It looks like the release of the sons of God. Get ready to embrace this truth—God’s word to u. is: Only believe!
Civilization appears to be on the brink of collapse, and we are living in unprecedented times—an unprecedented wave of worldwide gross immorality, an unprecedented man-made Global Pandemic, ushering in an unprecedented very aggressive Global push to vaccinate the entire world population—critical thinking would question why and research the facts? We are witnessing unprecedented collusion between leaders of all mountains and spheres of life. This is all taking place in a time when there is unprecedented Technology capable of monitoring the Globe and every person on it, as we witness an unprecedented move toward Governmental control and dictatorship…Globally!
Persecution tends to bring people in line and in unity very quickly. In these unprecedented times, God is making things black and white that the side of righteousness is made apparent to all; that what is clean and unclean, what is rebellion and obedience is made abundantly clear. Those who know God’s Word and follow it will be distinguished from those who don’t. There is at present an aggressive spirit of rebellion roaming the streets of our cities and our nations. Jesus prophesied that in the last days’ lawlessness would abound and the love of many will grow cold. There is increasing evidence of this as the enemy works ferociously to divide us on every front. The saints of God are being tested in many ways to qualify for His army. Much of the insanity taking place in the world right now is causing and motivating the army of God to begin to rise up and take its place on the frontlines. We must remember that the third-day realities not only signify a time of testing, trials, and tribulation but is also indicative of the time of resurrection, when the people of God will arise with His Glory upon them.
A marker is a point of reference from which everything changes when things shift into a new dynamic. I believe that dynamic is war! The armies of God are being deployed! The trumpet is about to sound. Those who choose to submit are being marked by Heaven.
“…he said to him, “walk through the streets of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of all who weep and sigh because of the detestable sins being committed in their city.” Ezekiel 9:4
The Feast of Trumpets this year will be a most significant time…pray for ears to hear the sounding of the trumpets. In a previous word, I published last year entitled Systems are Deployed, I wrote that a SYSTEM was set of things working together as parts of an interconnecting network or mechanism: a complex whole. A system can also represent a set of organs in the body having a common structure or function.The word DEPLOY means to move troops or equipment into position for military action, to bring into effective action. In this word I said:
Both these words are key to what is presently taking place in the spirit. The preparation that the saints have endured over the past 20-30 years under the hand of the Holy Spirit, has been readying them to now be deployed. God’s creative Life Force is about to be unrestrained, let loose, and discharged through peoples, systems, and networks, deployed in strategic settings over the Globe.
These systems are comprised of saints who have committed to serving God in obedience, who will choose to link arms in authentic unions, structures, and functions. They will be power-packed with the energy force of God, ready to explode in the earth’s atmosphere. Saints have been fashioned as God’s storehouses where He has been storing and filling up His treasures and spiritual food, prepared to serve the harvest in the time of spiritual famine.
God is fashioning and establishing Glory Hubs all over the earth and saints raised up to steward these hubs that could be whole regions or small communities. In this hour it is vital to be positioned in the location God has determined for you. Trust Him to lead you where you need to be. These places and regions will be protected by God’s Glory and Presence. It doesn’t matter where you are you can create your own Glory bubble through praise and worship of the King.
“Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.” Isaiah 4:5-6
These Glory zones will be cities and communities that have become a refuge from the present and coming storms on the earth. They are God-created systems established and designed as networks, a metron possessing the dynamic of the supernatural. They are self-contained and fully equipped with the provision that sustains—food, resources, and spiritual authority where heavenly provisions are stored.
God’s army has come through the tests and the war games are now over: we are being deployed into a very real and even dangerous battle—the stakes are high and we must count the cost and move forward.
The saints of God are becoming WIDE-AWAKE. Apostolic Generals are being called out and arising. People will be searching for courageous leaders who can direct the way ahead. True prophets in whom there is no mixture will take their place—laid down lives in service of the King. A coming wave of the Supernatural is about to be released as the King arises to lead us forward!
A Great Awakening in the Church and of the lost will become the catalyst that moves everyone into position to fulfill their assignments and the destinies prepared by Father God before the foundation of the world. The influx of a great Harvest of souls will force the Church to mobilize and take action.
As the great Awakening unfolds, evangelism and teachers will be called to gather and disciple the harvest. Prayer and strategic intercession must move to a higher level of union with God. Those anointed in deliverance will be in great demand. Apostles and prophets will be called to empower and mobilize the troops. As we move and press forward it will be important to be meeting, gathering, and talking with each other regularly, we cannot afford to stay isolated from each other any longer. It is time to discover and understand your sphere of influence and the strategies for reaching your community?
The Lord said that on the Third Day He would come down. He said that on the Third Day He would restore; that on the Third Day we would Crossover and that on the Third Day he would Arise. As we live and move and have our being in Him when He arises, resurrection power will be released and we shall arise in and with Him. A great impartation of Faith and Courage will be infused into the Body of Christ to cause us to stand in strength in these times. John Chapter 2:1 tells us that on the third day there was a wedding! The end-time Wine reserved for the people of God will sustain and keep us as we wait for our Bridegroom King to return.
In recent words that I have written, I shared about the coming Jewish Shmita year beginning on Rosh Hashanah September 6th 2021-2022. This was to be a Sabbath year of rest but was also a year when slaves were released from captivity and fortunes restored—it was a year of freedom and release. Today in preparation for the Year of Release and the Great Cross Over into a most notable season of history—a time of promises fulfilled, and destiny realized—a new breed is arising for this historic moment, ready to conquer and occupy lands for the Kingdom of God. A people presently chosen, known, and ordained for this hour, from before time, are now beginning to mobilize. We are about to enter the time of the Great Crossover into our promised destiny. It is therefore possible to stand resolute in the call of God, and in the face of tyranny, stand with resolve, knowing that the living God stands with us and goes before us.
God’s ways and methods for accomplishing His ends, however, are so much higher than ours, that to the undiscerning, things may appear quite desperate, with the enemy seemingly having the upper hand. Our hearts desire is for God to move quickly to fix the problems, but things don’t always unfold the way we have imagined or expect. It may require some time. It may require a series of battles—a campaign that God is leading us through onto victory.
The saints of God must therefore be prepared to dig in, and to fight with a mindset and resolve for the long haul, and whatever it may take to succeed. Conflict is not usually a bed of roses. To attain to victory and the conquering of the promised land, it may require a walk through the Red Sea, with ominous walls of water on either side looking like they’re ready to crash in on us. It may look like a harrowing road ahead, with howling winds and great storms, yet, through it all God is saying, keep your eyes fixed on Me and follow My lead, I will be with you, and I will keep you safe.
Things may appear to get uglier before they get better. The path ahead will require a close walk with our Lord, and it will necessitate coming fully alive to our identity as supernatural warriors in Christ. It will require deep roots. To grow to the heights, it’s necessary to have very deep roots, as any strong wind that comes along will take you down and out. The people of God must become like the mountain tree whose roots are buried deep in the Rock through growth in endurance and is able to withstand the battering winds and storms. Through this trying time there are many in the church, and for sure in the world, who do not have deep roots—the saints are there to keep them steady in the storm, not to attack them.
The year of release is the year to be fully who you are in Christ. It means God is opening the gate to your stall. It means there is an assignment for you—a path ahead with signposts positioned along the way. God is our guide who knows the way ahead. Sometimes, the road takes turns and twists, but God knows how to get us to our destination. The question you must answer yourself is, do you trust him?
During the days ahead it will be important to be saturated in the Word, reading it daily, as we will be receiving important instructions and messages from the Lord through His Word. Watch for the signs and stay objective. Look for the thread that ties things together. God can speak to you in many ways and through many voices; take note of the things that are being confirmed. Recognize that no one has the whole picture. Allow God to fine tune your senses and don’t become dogmatic, set in your opinion. Be flexible and willing to yield when it becomes clear that you have taking a wrong turn. God has differing paths for different people. He has specific tasks and assignments for certain individuals. Know what yours is! Don’t follow blindly! Trust God in the strange ways that He works, as His ways are so much higher.
Joshua was appointed the commander of the armies of Israel and knew what to do because God was with him, and over the years He had learned to understand God’s strange ways of accomplishing His ends. Israel, as a people, agreed with God to obey and follow Joshua when Moses had passed. Soldiers like Joshua are brave and confident’ because of their training. They have been fashioned in conflict and in tests of endurance. They are secure within their team who have trained alongside them. They are specialists and skilled with weaponry; they know when and how to deploy their weapons and they have no fear. They are interconnected through intelligence and communication with each other and with the home base, both Heavenly and locally. Soldiers understand the mission and the potential costs.
THE ARMIES OF GOD
Things are about to shift for the saints with the new season starting in the Year of Release. The Lord God is going ahead of us. He goes before us, and He will be with us. He will not leave us nor forsake us, so do not fear, or be dismayed as he told Joshua. We have been kept in a measure of silence during the years of training and preparation. God is about to release us to our destiny and He’s about to release our voice—remember, we are in the decade of the voice—the decade of pey according to the Jewish calendar. To be a voice for the Lord comes with a cost! Will you answer the call? Remember Moses and Jeremiah, they both resisted the call, but God assured them that He would be with them, just as He will be with us!
Moses commanded Joshua to read the book of the law written in Deuteronomy every seven years, in the Year of Release, at the time of the Feast of Tabernacles (Deut. 31:10). God’s reasoning in these instructions, was that the people would learn to fear the Lord their God and be careful to do all the words of the law. Moses then said to the people:
“Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.” Deuteronomy 32:46-47
Holding the Word of God dear to our hearts, is also a word that is for us today as we prepare to crossover into this new season of strength. When it was time to crossover, Joshua told the people to be ready, to consecrate themselves to the Lord, for they were about to cross over into a new land. God had found a generation that He could work with to conquer and take the land that was close to His heart—a land representing one that is ruled by the Kingdom of God and the Lord our God, a land that is Holy, characterized by righteousness and the Lordship of Christ.
At present, there is great shaking in the world, in all nations. We have entered a time of trouble where evil has progressively been creeping in through governments of nations. Their intention is to take control of mankind and turn them toward the kingdom of darkness in service to Satan its ruler. This is a moment that we have been chosen for, and have been prepared for; a time in which God has set the dynamic. God has set stage for the battles ahead. He has already gone ahead to ensure victory. We stand in the victory that has already been won by Christ on the Cross.
As the armies of God rise and get ready to move out, the kingdom of darkness is in disarray. They are in fear of the King of kings and of His armies that follow Him. In the days ahead we will see victories; we will see exposures of hidden things; we will see God shine His light into the darkness; we will see many prominent figures fall; we will see turmoil, civil unrest, and wars; and we will see the armies of darkness rise up, enraged in hatred and in violence. I believe God is saying to us that when we see all these things, that we are not to fear—we are to fear Him! In such times we are to know, recognize and remember that He is on His throne. God is in full control, and we must continue through it all, to always look to Him. As we walk through this time, through our Red Sea into victory, we keep our eyes on the destination, and we keep our eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel. We are about to run the gauntlet, but remember, it’s the gauntlet to the Promised Land and to Glory. God would say to His enemies and to us:
“Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.’
“For the LORD will judge His people and have compassion on His servants, when He sees that their power is gone, and there is no one remaining, bond or free.” Deuteronomy 32:35-36
Sometimes God will delay His work, that we may understand our sinful nature and our weakness to accomplish anything of value apart from Him. When our power is gone and all seems lost, and we are having a Red Sea moment with the enemy gaining strength—or so it may appear, we begin to cry out to God, and repent of our idolatry and apostasy. At such times God will then in His tender mercies, draw graciously near to us once again, to heal, to quicken and to deliver. He will decree swift vengeance to the evils that have kept us in despair, ride in on His white horse and lead us into victory.
I was recently awakened in the middle of the night with a burning question in my heart: What would the apostle Paul and the disciples do in the situations that believers are now faced with in Canada, the United States and other parts of the world? How would they live, walk, and comport themselves? In my mind, I was seeing these apostles as bigger than life and present in our world. I sought God for the answers to these questions but received none.
The following morning, as I was reading a devotional, God provided the answer. The devotional talked about the early Christians and the situations they were facing; I saw that they were similar to the things we are now beginning to encounter in Canada. The disciples were being restricted in what they could speak about or teach; they were being disparaged by some of the religious leaders who feared man rather than God. There was a rising level of persecution against Christianity and Christians were being threatened daily.
Awakening versus Awokening!
The present ‘woke culture being pushed on humanity, is a demonic crafting of a new reality founded on satanic antichrist principles. Becoming ‘woke,’ is the awokening of the masses to the demonic principles of division, immorality and hedonistic lifestyles being espoused through ‘equity.’ The road to Truth leads us not to equity or even equality but rather to crucifixion—to the Cross, to a life laid down in full surrender and obedience to God; to the One who said, “I am Way, the Truth and the Life.”
I do realise that it is somewhat different to be born into a situation of persecution as the disciples were, than it is to watch the freedom that you have known all your life begin to be taken from you incrementally and systematically…so again my thought was what would the saints do?
What did the saints do? The disciples continued to press forward and do exactly what they were called to do! They prayed! They asked God for courage and boldness to speak. They asked God to strengthen them in the situations that they faced. As they were obedient, there was a great awakening to the knowledge of Truth! Acts 4 reveals the persecution they were experiencing, however, verse 33 says that:
“Great grace was upon them all.”
Great grace! The answer leaped off the page into my spirit and I saw it! The answer was God’s Grace! I suddenly saw that Grace brings whatever is needed! Grace is favor, power and all the Goodness of God wrapped into one. The disciples asked God to increase the power and He turned up the Grace and gave them great Grace. At one point when Paul complained to God about the attacks on his life, God said to him:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
What is grace? Grace is the Divine substance that releases the ability to walk supernaturally through any situation without fear. Grace undergirds and empowers the believer in Christ; the one who lives and moves and has his being in Christ, thereby tapping into His life substance.
The word grace in the Greek is charis and means, graciousness, especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life, benefit, favour, gift, joy liberality, pleasure. In Hebrew, grace is the word chên and means graciousness, kindness, favor, precious, well-favoured.
We can therefore expect that when God’s graciousness is upon us, His Divine influence works on our hearts, and becomes reflected in our lives. We then experience His benefits, His favour, His joy, His liberality, and pleasure over us as He works all things for our good.
Jesus is God! His life force is Spiritual substance that is supernatural, creative, imbued with wisdom, insight and understanding. Grace allows us to tap into the treasures of Christ, a place where there is no fear, and where every possibility exists. In Grace, the substance of God’s life force moves in to take charge of any situation we may encounter. As Believers in Christ, we draw from Him and receive His Grace—His unmerited favor. Grace is embedded with potential to transform our circumstances and our demeanour from weakness and fear to power and strength.
Grace is Power!
Grace brings an atmospheric change, adjusts our perspective, and produces an uncanny sense that all is well. It impregnates the current issue with His Divine possibilities. Hope arises because God is in the mix. Grace therefore brings great possibility!
How then should we live? We live and walk in the present ever-changing world by trusting God to provide the Grace needed for any situation we may face. In perilous situations, we pray for great grace knowing that God’s grace is sufficient for all things.
When Paul and Silas were imprisoned and began to sing praises to God, they stepped into His life force, and grace was released. Their chains snapped and the prison doors were opened. Grace moved Peter to speak without fear, having just been released from prison for that very thing. When Peter and John told the others about the threats they received, they prayed and reminded God of Psalms 2:2 regarding threats to His Anointed and His elect ones.
“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken…” Acts 4:29-31
Paul asked the sublime question, “Who is sufficient for these things? The answer is no one! God’s answer is, “My grace is sufficient for you.” The veil was rent at the Cross and Grace—the life force of Christ, was released on humanity. The Savior came to release His life that was full of Grace and Truth.
The door into the Kingdom was opened on Pentecost as Grace ushered in those who believed. It was poured on the house of Cornelius, welcoming the Gentiles into the family of God. The disciples prayed for doors of opportunity to be opened for them to share the Truth, and the Lord answered them.
“For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” 1Corinthians 16:9
Grace allows us to walk supernaturally through a natural and complex world. Grace moves obstacles out of the way and provides the peace to handle the difficulties of life. Grace is a Gift! Faith is the substance, the buying power, that purchases grace, favor, and Divine possibilities.
The Holy Spirit is the final arbiter of Grace. He said that it was not by might or power, nothing is possible but for His Spirit. God’s Grace releases the Holy Spirit in power. The angel that spoke to Zerubbabel told him that the mountain before him would become a plain; that when he shouted: “…grace, grace to it!” he would complete the work on the House of God in the headstone (Zech. 4:7).
The Angel asked Zerubbabel, “What do you see? Zerubbabel’s answer was oil. Grace brings the oil, the anointing that breaks the yolk, that breaks open prison doors, that transforms situations. How did Paul and apostles respond? They looked to God to make the way and to open the doors as only God can. Great grace was upon them all!
Let Grace open the doors of favor needed for you. Shout grace, grace to every obstacle in the path of the promise. In times of uncertainty, Grace will show you what to do! You will stand resolute in the strength, courage, and energy of God, in the grace of God. You will shine as you rest in Him! In rest and with God’s grace you can walk through anything. Rest is knowing that He is positioned at your side always, regardless of circumstance. In rest His fulness is released in you, and His will and His life is poured out through you. In rest there can be no fear.
God told us to: Be still and know that I am God! Cease striving and I will be God in your life! You have been called in a time of disfavor to rise in great Grace and favour, as pillars upholding the foundations of Truth. You are called to shine, reflecting the glory of God in times of uncertainty and change.
You will exude the Shalom peace of God when there is fear and hopelessness around you. You are the princes and towers of strength God is positioning in the earth. God will make you noticeable by His favor. People will see and take note. They will hear, causing them to grapple with truth and deception. You will exude God and minister His life force with His words and His healing touch. It is possible that God has not yet answered our prayers, because He is waiting to see a rise in His people before He removes the restrictions. He is searching for the new breed who have the guts to believe Him.
Don’t judge what other people and other churches are doing, as some are called to stay, and some are cold to go. Some are called to fight, and some are called to clean the fish, not everyone is called to the front lines. Receive His Life and find His Grace to find what you need to do! Draw near to Throne of Grace to find grace to help in times of need, (Hebrews 4:16). We are meant to be imbued with His Grace that we may become stewards of His Grace.
I started this word with the question of how the disciples would live in these present times. The answer is that in the Grace of God, they kept moving forward in obedience to the One who would sustain them, who would open the doors of favor to them and who would preserve them.
Who is sufficient for these things? None but Christ. Our sufficiency is from Him!
