2010 and into the Next Decade - A Glimpse of God's Heart for the Body of Christ and the Harvest
 
Munday Martin
 
Munday Martin

We are entering into a new decade soon. The other day I was asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to me what He is about to do in the Body of Christ in 2010 and over the next decade. He began revealing to me by the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation what is about to take place. Most of what He shared for me is a word for the Body of Christ. This is what He began to show me:

We're All Rising Up in the Glory Together and Will be Activated to Walk in Everyday Life as Jesus Walked

There has been such a release of the Kingdom message in the past decade in order to prepare us for the restitution of all things spoken about in Acts 3:21, "He must remain in Heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets." God's sons and daughters have been hearing about using the keys of the Kingdom and walking in the dynamics of the throne, so that we could learn to walk in a lifestyle of living on the earth as we would in Heaven. The light of His glory is coming upon a radical warrior Bride to contend with the gross darkness that has robbed many of their true identities in Christ.

We are now emerging from the ruins of passive Christianity. We have exiled from the mentality of waiting for a rapture to come rescue us away from this present darkness, rather than take our stand and overcome until we go to be with Jesus. We are learning that deep darkness is a reality and it is going to continue out there. However, Isaiah 60 makes it very clear that when it does get dark, get ready for an explosion of light! "Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you. And the (nations) shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising." Yes, we will one day be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, but that day will not come until God restores everything.

As we learn to become the living tabernacle of David and use the keys of the Kingdom that are rightfully ours, we will walk in the same anointing Peter walked in, where even his shadow healed people when it was cast upon them. We will walk in the same miracles, signs and wonders that Jesus walked in. Much of the Body has not realized they have a miracle ministry on the inside of them and forfeited their divine Kingdom rights and watched others with miracle ministries, when they themselves can carry the atmosphere of Heaven wherever they go.

"Fathering" and "equipping" will become the norm in the Church across the world in 2010 and beyond. "The man of God" mentality is breaking off the Church in the nations. What I mean by that is many have, for years, put men and women of God up on pedestals and revered them in excess, and some even seemingly worshiped them. God is breaking the perception off His sheep that they must wait for the "man of God" to come to their town and bring revival. The whole Body will be rising up in the glory together and will be activated to walk in everyday life with a miracle, prophetic, and signs and wonder ministry. A family of God is arising and shining and He is bringing up His family into dignity and honor.

Watch for Outbreaks of Joy Across America

There will be a sign released right now that will help inebriate people who have suffered across the Body of Christ! Watch the outbreaks of joy across America right now! Watch for the outbreaks of joy!

The Lord told me recently, as I began to smell His fragrance come in the room which smelled like myrrh, that He is releasing the oil of joy right now. Many are about to experience the new wine and the oil of joy who have never felt it before, even across denominational lines. For many it will linger for days and days. Psalm 104:15 says God gave "wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart."

Watch for the sign of wine outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Watch also for the sign of oil and bread, as God will rain down manna again in meetings, and oil will physically come more on a mass scale than it is now in some churches. Out of being infused with this glory outpouring, it will release a new boldness, strength and confidence to fulfill our Kingdom mandate no matter where we are. It won't matter what neighborhood we are in, or what nation or what kingdom we are in, because the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our God. The Lord told me that He will visit cities all over America with unusual outpourings similar to Toronto. He showed me fireworks and told me that by July 4th of 2010 there will be a new Independence coming upon His Bride in America and Canada.

"The Body is Going to Help Shift Men's Paradigms of Who Jesus Is"

Get ready to see a mass exodus of Believers leaving behind old traditions that have made the Word of God to no effect. Believers will leave behind their Egypts of vain religion into a new land of fullness. Those who have the vision of "glory centers" and "training centers" in their heart at this hour are right on target with the Spirit of God. Bob Jones' word about one billion youth coming to Christ by 2020 is going to happen, and we must be ready to train those that have come out of the bondage of religion, and even alternative lifestyles.

The Lord told me, "I am about to move on the subcultures of America." Just as He chose to save many hippies in the 60s and 70s, get ready to see even the magazines declare another Jesus Revolution has started by 2014! It will invade youth in the indie rock scene, it will invade youth in the hip-hop culture, it will even invade Hollywood and MTV. Get ready to see God's hip-hop prophets arise. Get ready to see God's techno rave DJ prophets arise. I even see healing revivals taking place in clubs across America and Europe.

Watch as the Lord begins to shift culture with His Kingdom culture of Heaven. The Body is going to help shift men's paradigms of who Jesus is. Those who have turned to the occult are going to meet God's presence-carriers in the marketplace and streets. Multitudes who are in New Age will begin to hear how the Church is a place where they can go to get healed, be loved, and find freedom in this wonderful man named Jesus. A healing revival is going to spread on mass scale!

A Decade of Unprecedented Harvest

Seven-fold restoration will come even on a governmental level. Wherever an ungodly leader of a nation steps down, the sons of light have the privilege to take that position. Nations will begin to see a new leadership as God restores. Whenever an ungodly person steps down in media, get ready for a son of light to take the position seven times more. The fulfillment of Isaiah 60 is coming to pass on a mass scale.

This is going to be a decade of unprecedented harvest that the Church and the world have never seen. God says, "I have heard the groanings of creation for the manifestation of the sons of God, and I am about to cause a media revival that will shake the heavens and the earth that no man can stop, that will invade even Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu culture through media and Internet with a Kingdom of power and a Kingdom of glory."

God also showed me that the nation of Israel is going to enter into a fresh, new season of harvest. This healing wave of glory will come to many Messianic churches in Israel and will cause a great influx of Jews and Arabs receiving Jesus (Yeshua) as their Messiah.

We say, "Yes, Lord" and "Amen!" Come Holy Spirit on this thirsty generation and be our fountain! Let the oil of joy come to our nation!

2010—It's Time to Believe for the Impossible
 
Barbie Breathitt

Barbie Breathitt

With God, All Things Are Possible

It is time to see and believe that with God all things are possible (Luke 1:37). Just as the angel of the Lord spoke to Mary about her relative Elizabeth in Luke 1:36, a woman who was called barren yet was already in her sixth month of pregnancy, so it will be for many in 2010—where, against all odds, the fruit you have been waiting to see will come forth in abundance.

Elizabeth and her husband served faithfully. Elizabeth was waiting for a child even though she was labeled as barren. God will give to us the desires of our heart as a sign of His faithfulness, and these will come in uncommon and unusual ways. When they come, they will need to be nurtured and gently cared for. Elizabeth was known as barren. Hannah was barren, despised and laughed at by Peninnah, Elkanah's other wife. But God remembered both of them. If an old, barren woman can become fruitful in her old age, what could possibly stop you from being fruitful, too? The Church is often symbolized as a woman; as we pray for souls many will be birthed into the Kingdom of God.

This year we will see true alignments with others for the purposes of God. Just as Mary needed to go to Elizabeth to fulfill prophecy and destiny, so God will align us with the right people for "purpose"—no matter how big or small that purpose may be. When Mary came near to Elizabeth the baby leaped in her womb (Luke 1:41), and she was filled with the Holy Spirit, proclaiming blessing on Mary and the fruit of her womb. In true alignments there will be a recognition and blessing of the fruit and promise in the Spirit that each person carries.

John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from conception. Because of our past experiences we learn to value what we've been given. When God gives us a new beginning by activating or enlivening the gifts within us by the Holy Spirit—then the new will come forth. This new beginning will bring forth eternal fruit. Be encouraged—you have not been forgotten or overlooked.

New Order in 2010

Ten is the number of law, government, restoration, nurturing, order, trials and testings in our wilderness journey, and it is also the number of responsibility. When world economics seem to decrease, I believe it is vital that our tithe and giving increases to sustain spiritual order and supernatural provision in our life. Ten is the number that represents the Pastor and testimony. We will see a completing of many things take place from the fullness of time, bringing in a new ordinal perfection. The Lord will remind you that 2010 is the year of taking responsibility for the new divine order that has been given. God's new order will bring in restoration of the things that have been stolen during our wilderness journey.

This will be a time for nurturing intimate times with God, developing our relationships, and securing the right alignments in the Body of Christ. Many in the Body of Christ have seen God's favor and blessings come through in unexpected ways. Remember, God's provision often comes in our darkest hour. Watch God straighten out relationships and restore things you have lost or had stolen. See the character of Christ being pressed deep within your being.

The manifestation of the nine gifts of the Spirit will begin to increase in our lives as never before (1 Corinthians 12:8-10). God is going to reward our faithfulness and works we have done in spite of the difficulties and trials we have been going through.

Isaiah 60 is for today. The glory of the Lord is increasing upon individuals. "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee..." We will know the realities of this Scripture in increasing dimensions as we believe in the gifts of God within us. Believe in the Christ in us, and let your faith draw upon the outflowing of His anointing and glory as He breathes upon and stirs up the gifts He has placed within you.

Obstacles and distractions that once seemed insurmountable will be overcome "suddenly," like unexpected birth pains. These suddenlies will bring significant change and breakthrough, drawing family members, friends and acquaintances closer to God, and many will be saved.

Do not fear the opposition or persecution that will come from enemies. Let your enemies work for you. Remember, God is able to turn everything to your benefit as you continue to trust Him in every circumstance. Difficulties that are thrown at you will cause your heart to become pure. Remain focused on God in prayer. Don't allow fear, anxiety, panic or intimidation a place in your life.

True Alignments and a Year of Completion

People's opinions will try to hinder you from making true alignments. Learn to recognize one another by the Spirit. See opportunities through God's eyes; do not judge by the past, but know what godly gifts people are carrying within and who they are becoming in Christ.

In order to come into true alignments, we need to confront and address the issues of the heart. If these areas are not addressed, they can lead to misalignments or disagreements. Recognize selfish ambition and resist the temptation to align with others strictly for your own purposes, benefits or to "look good" by using others for what they have to offer. 2010 will also be a year of discerning and judging things with new spiritual insights. This will insure proper order to help us correct past mistakes by making things right so that we will not go through or repeat old, destructive cycles again.

This is a year of "completion." God wants to remove negative, hurtful relationships, character flaws and destructive thought patterns from our lives. God will severely judge the sins we choose to hold onto this year. God wants us to be consecrated vessels unto Him. To enter the presence of the Lord in the Holy of Holies we need to repent of any known sins or appetites that are keeping us back from surrendering our whole heart to Him.

It is time to surrender completely in order to be aligned to reach our greatest potential and destiny. Be willing to step out into the new and unfamiliar. The Lord is going to deal with things that try to steal or hinder us from prospering or reaching our destiny. Ask God to send the east wind to sink the "destiny thieves" (Psalm 48:7) and destroy selfish ambition that would steal from another. Many need to repent of hindering others from reaching their potential, because we have enslaved them for our own benefits instead. When one person suffers the whole Body of Christ suffers. God alone holds our future, destiny and eternity.

Lean on God this Year and Rest in Him

We will be learning to lean into God more and more each year. Leaning on Christ enables the burdens of life to slide off our shoulders and come to rest at His feet. By trusting Him to carry our burdens we give up the need to worry and control our circumstances.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.—Psalm 36:7-9 NKJV

Learning to rest and dream in His peace enables us to sleep with no concerns, knowing our God is going to uphold, guide and protect us. "When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, for You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me" (Psalm 63:6-8). Minute by minute, through every circumstance of life, we trust God to hold us in His strong, loving, right hand. Meditate on the Scriptures.

God is doing a new and different thing. Like David we are to place our trust and faith in the goodness of God in the land of the living. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, NOW it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert" (NKJV). We must also look for opportunities to be hospitable by meeting the needs of others with the simplest of things.

"With Me All Things are Possible. Only Believe!"

Prophetic word of the Lord: "Tune your heart to hear the exhortation of My word! It is time to gather, unify, and rise up. It is time to break up the fallow ground and dig into the Word for the fresh waters of this season. Re-dig the wells of the old anointings that have been lost. Then dig new wells that will greatly strengthen you. For certainly the anointing will bring the glory and the presence of My Kingdom upon your life.

"Dig, drink deeply, and sing to the wells in your life to spring up and flow out of your bellies like living water. Dig and do not stop digging until your thirst is satisfied. The river of life flows through My Kingdom. Remember, My Kingdom is within you. The mysteries, power, and the secrets of My divine promises are in the living water of My Word. So plant yourself by the river of living water and drink deeply of My healing waters; let the dry barrenness be removed.

"You have journeyed through the wilderness heat of the valley of the shadow of death. But in 2010 you are coming to the oasis of living water where deep, clear springs will bubble up out of the depth of My Kingdom reservoirs. Therefore, come dig in and drink in My eternal life and strength. As you drink to your full, darkness will leave, and My glorious power and the healing presence of My Kingdom will come to manifest through your life. Use your faith shovel for digging the wells of wisdom in the ancient patterns of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

"Refuse the enemy's voice of discouragement, who attempts to keep you from fulfilling your destiny. You are called and chosen to demonstrate the light of God's Kingdom in this hour. You live in the generation where darkness is attempting to abound, but God's grace and truth will abound much more. I have empowered you to do the impossible, because with Me all things are possible. Only believe!"

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."—Matthew 19:26

2010—The Dawning of a New Day and a Year to Stand in Heaven's Open Window
 
Garris Elkins
 
Garris Elkins

Dawning of a New Day

Recently, I prayed a simple prayer: "Lord, show me what the year 2010 will bring." As soon as those words were uttered, I saw an image. I saw someone standing inside a castle-like, stone building looking out through a large circular window. This person was looking towards a distant horizon. The dawning of a new day was just beginning.

The reflection of the early light was illuminating their face. The window was high up in an elevated position, many levels above the surrounding terrain. Because of where this person stood they were able to see the coming dawn before those who were still sleeping in the darkness at ground-level. This image reminded me of when I used to fly airplanes. I would pilot my aircraft into some distant airport just before sunrise. As I approached my destination I would be flying into the first rays of a new day.

As I continued to reflect on what I was seeing, I began to realize this was an image for 2010. God desires to position His people in a higher place of revelation so they can see what is coming. This higher place would change their perspective.

"2010—A Year to Stand in Heaven's Open Window"

As I gazed at the image of this new dawn I heard the Lord speak to my heart, "2010 will be a year that I will open a window of Heaven. If you are willing, you can come up higher and I will let you see the things I have planned. 2010 will be a year to see the approaching future if you will heed My invitation to come up to a higher place and stand in the open window of My purpose and vision.

"I brought you into Myself and made you Mine—heirs of promise—before you took your first step of destiny. I gave it all to you before you could perform the works of My hand. In this new dawn there will be signs of a higher purpose I want My people to see in the coming year. In 2010 look for signs that will manifest in the systems of the earthly kingdom. These signs will reflect My heart.

"There is Coming a Fullness of Joy"

"A fullness of My presence is not yet upon you. As My Word says, 'Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.' I am asking you to look into the darkness and prophesy a new dawn. As you prophesy, My joy will fall in your camp. I am sending a joy to My people that will appear premature. This joy of Heaven will rise in you like the dawning of a new day.

"There is coming a fullness of joy for My people that will be as bright as the noon day sun. This new dawn of joy will be seen by you while the world still sleeps in a lingering night of despair. The sounds of your joy will be heard in the camps of darkness before the new day is realized. You will begin to dance in the approaching dawn. Come up and stand in the window of Heaven and see what I am about to do.

"If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves before Me and seek My face in this new day, I will do a new thing in your midst. From the window of Heaven you will see the new dawn of joy before I call it to rise into the natural realm. All new dawns break in Heaven before they are seen in the earth.

"Come up and stand in the window of Heaven and see My coming heart and purpose for 2010."

2010

Danny Korakas


"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. But watch for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues (churches today) You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. But when they arrest you and deliver you up, 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. Now brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. BUT HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED." (Mark 13:8-13)

There are 10 references to the word "YOU" in the above verses of scripture. The number "10" is significant in that it points to God's justice, completeness, and THE NUMBER OF DIVINE PERFECTION. There are 10 commandments (Ex. 20); there were 10 plagues on Egypt (Ex. 9:14); 10 x 10 silver sockets formed the foundation of the Tabernacle (Ex 38:27); There are 10 "I AM's spoken by Jesus in John: 1) I am the Bread of Life (6:35); 2) I am the Bread of Life which came down from heaven (6:41); 3) I am the Living Bread (6:51); 4) I am the Light of the world (8:12); 5) I am One that bears witness of Myself (8:18); 6) I am the Door of the sheep (10:7,9); 7) I am the Good Shepherd (10:14); 8) I am the Resurrection and the Life (14:6); 9) I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life (11:25); and 10) I am the True Vine (15:1,5).

I believe that something very obvious is revealed to us when we take into account the nature of divine perfecting and who the "you" is in Mark 13. Was the "you" in these Words of Jesus relegated exclusively to the Jews at that time in history? Could it be that these Words were specifically for the first century church alone? Were they set aside exclusively for that individual at the time of the tribulation or the Day of the Lord? I believe, we can all agree that these Words of Christ are for the church body and extends beyond generations to encompass the entire body collectively throughout history up until Christ's return.

I realize that it will run contrary to what is being "prophesied" by many at the present time. Many in the prophetic camp are and will be prophesying words that generate elements of fear and anxiety and these will intensify going into 2010. These prophetic utterances must be weighed carefully! Fear and anxiety fuel a entertainment-like corporate environment and takes our focus off of God's true purpose for our lives as the church. Prophetic fear mongering will only support the status quo of system based religion and will do nothing in regard to building the Kingdom of God. System based religion feeds upon "self" and self-centered needs. The kingdom mandate and the genuine prophetic call is centered upon what church can give of herself rather than take! 2010 will be a defining moment for many prophetic ministries. The Lord will never rescind on a spiritual gift...However, He will take away the opportunities if abused.

Already, all of creation is groaning in labor pains for the complete redemption of the souls of man. The earth is quaking, staggering like a drunkard and filled with the wine of man's harlotry and rebellion against God. When Israel was miraculously restored as a nation, the "tape player" of history was pressed to fast-forward and we are reeling toward the consummation of the ages. As recent as World War I, man was waging war on horse drawn instruments of battle. It had been the same for thousands of years with little advancements in mankind's ability to destroy one another. In just 60 short years since the re-founding of Israel, humanity has the ability to completely destroy itself. It also has the capacity and technology for the entire world to witness Christ's return as prophesied.

With this said, is the church - you and I really ready for Christ to return TODAY? Are we really ready and prophetically postured for the last days that the Bible clearly portraits? Many, may already be rejecting this message because you believe in the comfort of the pre-tribulation rapture. I sincerely hope your position is right. But what if you're wrong and we must "endure to the end?" This is where the rubber meets the road. What enables traction upon the narrow road and what gives motion to the church as a vehicle that will transport the glory of God is our readiness to defend truth even it means the giving of our life rather than how much I can get in this life. Now I am not saying that we are to go out looking to be persecuted or suffer. As we read above, if you are truly following Christ, you won't need to look for it! The question is simply coming to honest terms with our prophetic stance and readiness as the days unfold. 2010 is pointing and demanding prophetic maturity and a posture that is upright and ready to defend truth and freedom.

On the other hand and as of 2009, many are being set-up and are dreadfully ill prepared for the days ahead to be the witness that Christ would have them be as a prophetic people in the days before us. This is the church's defining moment and the restoration of purpose in the prophetic voice � To prepare the way of Lord. We have been continually lotioned in the prosperity lies of comfort and ease and our skin is as delicate and thin as an onion. As believers, we should have the thickest skin in the world. However, most in the church seem to be the most easily offended in their inoculated and pampered state. We have bought the lie that money, wealth, health, and comfort are the right of passage to every believer. We act as if Job never existed and we bury the fact that most of the world's true apostles and prophets have been persecuted for their faith. Is our modern mind-set and sense of rejection so deep that we live in escapism apart from biblical truth and reality? We want to be Christ-like as long as we don't have to suffer like Christ. Have we come to a place where the cross of Christ is no longer prophesied or taught. Much of the church cannot bear to look or even think about the cross, let alone, take-up their own and carry it. Beloved, this must change if the genuine article is to go forth withour being slanted or tainted by flesh.

It is our right as God's children to seek from our Father His very best for our lives. There is nothing wrong with this and should be expected. And many times we are rewarded with wonderful miracles in areas of spiritual and natural prosperity. Look, I am a miracle believing man and I love the blessings of God. However, the warped charismatic/pentecostal teaching and preaching today would have everybody believing that we will never die and that our faith and anointing hinges upon how much "stuff" we have. Our amount of "stuff" is not the anointing and blessing of God. It is the fragrance of the Lord's presence and His conforming or purifying work in our life. How can the western church with clear conscience continue to promote a doctrine that has the stench of worldliness, sensual appetite, the love of money and materialism? Our self-consumed desire for SELF-preservation is in direct opposition to the Christ-like character of laying our lives down for one another. The greatest martyrs are not necessarily those who die a quick physical death. Rather, they are those who choose to LIVE a spiritual life dying to themselves for the sake of Christ and others.


A REVOLUTION is about to begin in the mind and heart of the church. Any revolution in history, whether it was the French, American, Indian, and even Bolshevik, has had two essential ingredients that gave it success: The first is that they truly BELIEVED in what they were standing for. And second, they were willing to die for what they believed in. As a prophetic individual, is our genuine commitment to the cause of Christ and the building of His Kingdom? This does not require a yes or no answer. It just requires a heart that loves Jesus and His Kingdom more than anything that the world has to offer.

I will be honest with you in that I am writing and prophesying this word to me first and foremost. I so often believe that I have faith and that I truly love Jesus more than anything in this world. But do I? I desire to grow old with my wife and experience the growing up of my children. I want to be there to walk them down the aisle on all of their wedding days. I desire very much to be a part of my grandchildren's lives and hold them in my arms. I love and could simply cry just writing about these things and how much they mean to me. But I must ask myself, "Do I love REALLY love Jesus more than all of these things? My head says so often that I do, but I am at a point in my life where I must be honest with God and wonder if it is truly in my heart. We are good at putting up a good front and rationalizing the Words of Jesus to fit our aversion to suffering and our true heart condition and faith. Beloved, this is what separates the true from the false...The wheat from the tares and the sheep from the goats. We desperately need a move of God upon the heart of the modern church. 2010 will stench with words still-birthed from prophetic immaturity and irrelevancy. However, a voice has also been arising that has the fragrance and life of Christ...A voice annointed and seasoned to proclaim that the Kingdom is at hand!

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet, because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. (John 15:18-19)

"These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to STUMBLE. They will put you out of the synagogues; (churches) yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you that when the time comes, you may remember that I (Jesus) told you of them. (John 16:1-4)

In these Words of Jesus, "you" is listed 14 times.

It is important that we clearly understand what Jesus said: "These things I have spoken to you that you may be kept from stumbling." Jesus is giving us these Words not to harm us, but to prepare us. Jesus is speaking today to His followers that when we see the days of increasing ungodliness and wickedness, that we would not grow weary and distraught; but seize the opportunity in winning un-numbered multitudes to Jesus Christ....Building the Kingdom. It will be a devastating season for many in the last day's church if they continue in their lukewarm relationship with Christ. Unfortunately, many will stumble and fall away from the faith when they find the tribulation and persecution greater than their love for the Lord. Sadly, these people have missed their greatest opportunity of storing eternal treasure in heaven that neither moth nor rust will destroy. These people will fall away from a life-long diet of false prophecies and flesh pleasing sermons. If there is one weakness that natural sheep have - it is that they are easily led astray by false shepherds.

Our purpose as the church is to love the Lord with all of our heart soul and strength. This will produce a love for the souls of humanity and the making disciples in all nations. It will kindle a fire deep within our bones to overcome adversity by a dying to ourselves�After all, wasn't this how Jesus overcame the enemy of our souls?

The prophetic mantle demands a response that we are no longer our own. It is not our will be done, but His will be done, even if we do not understand all of "why's" this side of heaven. The Lord is demanding us in this hour to be the church that He has called us to be. When the days ahead grow darker and darker, will we shine brighter and brighter? Or, will our love of comfort and the things of this world cause us to stumble? This will be a defining moment in our eternal destiny. Will the "mark" be offered to bunch of left behind and eternally lost sinners? I doubt very seriously that this will be the case. We need to be ready and have oil in our lamps. We need to prophetically understand our mandate and be PREPARED to seize our greatest moment � To be a witness of Christ in the end time harvest. It is not going to be our "works" that will bring in the harvest we are anticipating. It will be the trials and afflictions that is coming upon the earth. It will be these events that will drive the lost into the strength of Jesus' loving arms � the CHURCH.

Back to the Future: Jesus is Healing Our Past and Setting Up Our Future

Luke Holter

Luke Holter

Hope, Identity and Breakthrough

I have found myself charged by the Lord as of late to call the Church into a place of hope, identity, and breakthrough. Many in the Body are dealing with great grief, and are looking to their past and letting hurts, failures, and mistakes determine where they go in their future. God is committed to us coming into a place where we align ourselves with our true identities as children of God. God desires to give us good gifts, to bless us, and to give us a future.

God wants us to be healed from our painful history and to find our identity in Jesus. "The issues" that make up who we are and how we live are found in "how we relate to our past and what we think of Jesus." Finding the grace in God to overcome your past is the key to what will unlock our hearts to move forward and into 2010—with wholeness. The Holy Spirit will reveal to us the places where we are held captive by bitterness, anger, and shame.

Our identity must first be established in our relationship with God or in intimacy with God. Our relationship with God is grounded as we encounter His thoughts and affections toward us. You have to know that your current circumstances are not punishment for some way you have failed God. If we have a confident relationship with Papa, we will not be waiting for the other shoe to drop, but instead we will overcome the negative aspects of our history and start to walk in confidence and purpose. If we agree with Heaven and literally start speaking the biblical truth of who we are before God, we will begin to soften and become accessible for healing.

A Vision of Healing the Past

The Holy Spirit walked me through a vision, where I saw a large group of people lined up in front of me, and showed me how He literally went into each person's past.

In one instance the Holy Spirit went in through the eyes of a woman in front of me, and He took me to this woman's bedroom when she was a child. She was lying on her side, crying in bed, and I watched as Holy Spirit started to cup His hands around her feet and breathed into His hands. This little girl started to slowly light up with a warm glow as if light was coming from inside of her and glowing through her skin.

I was then pulled back in front of this grown woman, tears were rolling down her face as she said, "I forgive you, dad." The Holy Spirit had literally gone back in time to when she was an abused little girl, and He healed that place in her heart.

Next, I saw an older man standing in line, and again I went on a journey with Holy Spirit and saw this man much younger sitting on his sofa, sobbing. His wife was explaining to him that she didn't love him anymore and was leaving him for another man. The man was left alone sobbing on his sofa as she said goodbye.

Then I watched as Holy Spirit rushed to him and started to put His hands around this young man's heart and breathe. The same event took place as above, and I saw this young man with a warm glow. Then again, I was pulled back and saw the older man now with tears rolling down his face. The man was looking straight forward and said, "I forgive you, sweetheart."

This was what was taking place with everyone in line. They were all allowing the Holy Spirit to go deep into their pain, hurts, and disappointments to heal them. God then said, "I am literally going back in time for the sake of your future."

Everyone in this line had luggage in their hands, and now at the front of the line was an airplane. Written on the side of the airplane was the phrase, "Acceleration to 2010," and I heard a voice in Heaven say, "If you're boarding the promises of God, you have to check your baggage." The luggage was too big and heavy to take on board this airplane of acceleration and had to be handed over to Jesus before boarding. As people chose to hand the luggage over to Jesus, He took their baggage from them.

We need to let go of the baggage in our lives and move forward with Him. God is dedicated to us going into our future—healed up and restored. We have so many wonderful things in our future as we grow in Christ Jesus, and our heart responses to situations that have hurt us are vital in our journey.

Let's choose to be brave and allow the Holy Spirit to go into our past so we can be made whole and released into our future! Make a decision today to not hold captive those past wounds and failures, but to trust Jesus with our past, present, and future. Today the Father wants us to choose to forgive.

Declarative Prayer: Father, we trust You and give You permission to go into the deep places of our history and do a work of healing. Jesus, we forgive those who may have hurt us out of ignorance or even malice and we choose to give them to You.

I want you the reader to literally say, "Jesus, I give You 'person's name' and everything that this person did to me, Lord please forgive them." We invite You, Holy Spirit, to even now begin a work in our own hearts toward daily forgiveness. We choose to let these past hurts go for the sake of our future. In Jesus name, Amen.

A Key to Breakthrough in 2010: A Broken and Contrite Heart
 
Paul Keith Davis
Paul Keith Davis

Unquestionably, we are entering times of heightened spiritual activity and confrontation. We believe 2010 will be a year considerably different from the past, with measures of breakthrough experienced by the remnant who qualify: those having positioned themselves before God with humility, contrition and who tremble at His Word.

This truth was recently re-emphasized to me while conducting meetings in New Zealand. While there I was reminded of a story recorded in the life of the notable healing evangelist Smith Wigglesworth. It involved a key secret in his walk with God and the release of divine power through this great champion.

In 1922 Wigglesworth journeyed to New Zealand for a series of healing campaigns. At the time, he was unknown to New Zealand's leadership, but with great confidence various pastors rented the Wellington Town Hall to host the meetings. To everyone's delight, the Lord was wonderfully present in power, bringing healing and salvation to scores. The services were so successful that additional meetings were arranged and each was filled to capacity with God healing the most difficult cases of sickness and disease.

At the conclusion of the campaign one of the host pastors, while walking along the seashore with Wigglesworth, asked what his secret was to walking in demonstrations of God's power. Wigglesworth responded, "I am sorry you asked me that question, but I will answer it. I am a brokenhearted man. My wife who meant everything to me, died 11 years ago. After the funeral I went back and lay on her grave. I wanted to die there. But God spoke to me and told me to rise up and come away. I told Him if He would give me a double portion of the Spirit—my wife's and my own—I would go and preach the Gospel. God was gracious to me and answered my request. But I sail the high seas alone. I am a lonely man, and many a time all I can do is to weep and weep."

A broken and contrite heart was the secret to Wigglesworth's success with God. It is written in Psalm 51:17, "the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise."

As the two men continued walking along New Zealand's seashore, Wigglesworth emphasized what he carried in God was not to be envied, but instead he envied what the last generation will see. Wigglesworth explained that he had experienced three open visions with the Lord. Two of them were already fulfilled at the time of these meetings in 1922. However, he expressed the third would take place after his death. Wigglesworth explained, "Oh it was amazing! Amazing! I cannot tell God's secrets, but you will remember what I say—this revival we have had is nothing to what God is yet going to do."

The pastor to whom these comments were made recorded that he clearly understood Wigglesworth's comments were directed towards the spiritual outpouring within the generation preceding the Lord's return. He said, "It was quite evident that the evangelist had a special vision granted to him of the coming outpouring of the Spirit in an unprecedented effusion in the days just before our Lord comes to snatch away the Church."

Taking it to Another Level

Clearly, Wigglesworth was given a glimpse of God's plan for this present hour. It is also recorded that while in South Africa in 1936, Wigglesworth accurately prophesied what has now become known as the Charismatic renewal. He along with many other prior champions was allowed to prophetically observe and forecast what we as a generation can enjoy in God. Even so, the same qualifications are necessary for us that existed with Wigglesworth and the others.

It is incredibly sad that Wigglesworth lost his precious wife Polly. Nevertheless, it produced something in him that God was able to use to change a generation. Although we may not go through the precise loss that Wigglesworth experienced, our ultimate goal is to present ourselves before God in humility and genuine brokenness of heart because of our condition and the present need for godly character. Such a heart God will not despise and will powerfully anoint with demonstrations of His Spirit.

Following the meetings in New Zealand I felt a profound challenge being placed upon my life and that of God's leadership to take our consecration and devotion to a higher level. He deserves greater than we have been able to present thus far. Clearly there are many who have sacrificed notably throughout the Church to see His Kingdom revealed. Even so, for the most part—on the corporate level, we must aspire to something more.

Our Need for True Leadership

There is a present need for clarity and honorable leadership to emerge with a credible prophetic voice to provide direction and divine wisdom. With an increasing emphasis on the emergence of God's divine government there is an equal demand for Biblical understanding of God's promises for the end-of-the-age generation. There are clear spiritual endowments being imparted to those groomed and prepared for governmental responsibility. Never before has there been greater need for the spirits of wisdom and revelation promised in Ephesians 1:17-19 saying:

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will 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 surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.

Like Daniel and his three friends in Babylonian captivity, we desperately need the impartation of heavenly wisdom and knowledge as well as intelligence in all manner of writing and literature. We desperately need insight and interpretation of our dreams and visions (Daniel 1:17).

It is my perspective that all true spiritual leadership is birthed out of friendship with the Lord. He once told His disciples that He no longer considered them servants, but friends. From that place of intimacy, God's mysteries, secrets and strategies are imparted that convey the Father's thoughts and aspirations for this generation. Therefore, our foremost pursuit should not necessarily be a spiritual office, but friendship with Jesus. Who we are and what we are called to be will become clearly recognized as we delegate Kingdom authority and walk with God like Enoch.

Supernatural Endowments

I have often studied and written on the life of Daniel; a man highly esteemed and greatly beloved in Heaven. The Lord told me years ago that Daniel was a prototype of the generation he foresaw. In many ways, Daniel and his three friends provide a prophetic picture of the manner by which the Lord will equip His people for special end-of-the-age assignments. The Babylonian captivity of natural Israel provides a forecast of our present condition and the Lord's promise for deliverance.

Daniel 1:17 describes Heaven's special empowerment imparted to these loyal young men. God gave them:

Knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all (kinds of) visions and dreams.

The Lord gave them by inspiration, revelatory knowledge and intelligence in various matters of writing and literature. The Lord quickened in them special skills to apprehend and articulate spiritual understanding and Heavenly wisdom. Daniel was notably gifted with supernatural perception into all manner of visions and dreams.

There was a specific impartation from God that empowered them to excel in the apprehension of wisdom and governmental scholarship. The Lord bestowed by spiritual transference the blessing of unique knowledge and exceptional capacity in literature and all manner of written work.

This pattern will also be followed in this day when the Lord discovers devoted hearts of obedience and loyalty. There are vast storehouses of revelatory insight and supernatural knowledge involving Scripture, creation, science, the arts and many other subjects that will be entrusted to saints who follow the model established by Daniel and his three friends.

A Prophetic Standard

These four young men provide a prophetic standard for the spiritually strong who know their God and carry out great exploits. They will intimately know God and engage the revelatory realm of Heaven. In them will be an excellent spirit granting acute perception and understanding to interpret dreams and visions, clarify revelatory experiences and solve difficult and enigmatic problems. They will be people who apprehend insight from the throne room and respond to the invitation to "come up here" to be shown things to take place in the future.

A few years ago during a prophetic experience, the Lord specifically stated to me that Daniel 1:17 was spiritually linked to Ephesians 1:17. These are parallel passages stating the same promises from different time frames. One is from the Old Covenant outlining God's dealings during difficult times but also pointing to a future day of supernatural intervention into the lives of mankind. The other is expressed in the New Covenant recording for all generations the heritage of the saints.

Despite our perceived personal limitations, the Lord is a quickening Spirit. He has promised to give life to our mortal bodies with His Spirit and grant to us the spirit of revelation that will access mysteries, secrets and revelatory knowledge as our legacy in Him.

Tokens of the Past

Many who attended Maria Woodworth-Etter's meetings at the turn of the 20th century would be caught up in the Spirit to experience visions and revelations of the Lord. These accounts are well documented and verified. Some would be commissioned in their encounter as missionaries to foreign lands and emerge from their visionary revelation capable of fluently speaking the language of the nation to which they were called.

It is the Father's good pleasure to reveal to us the Kingdom and perform awesome deeds that only He can achieve. It was a small thing for Him to rejuvenate the bodies of Abraham and Sarah and quicken them with strengthening virtue. Even after Sarah's death and well over one-hundred years of age, Abraham continued in the strength imparted to him by his encounter with El Shaddai and bore many more sons through Keturah.

Likewise, the Lord is more than able to equip us to access the unfathomable treasures hidden in Him that require supernatural gifts like those entrusted to the apostle Paul. As the Bible also clearly promises, the Holy Spirit knows what is hidden in darkness and reveals the deep and secret things. Light dwells with Him bringing illumination to that which has been set apart and reserved for the generation of destiny (Daniel 2:22).

Even now there are individuals engaging the revelatory realm of Heaven receiving downloads of insight into physics, light, sound and spiritual colors. The visitation of the apostle John to the throne room was both visual and audible. His experience disclosed awesome sights, sounds and vibrant colors surrounding the Lord's seat of dominion and victory. The more understanding we have of that realm the greater our ability to cooperate with Heaven in the demonstration of the Kingdom dominion on the earth.

Mysteries and Secrets of God

In like fashion, the Lord is releasing by the spirit of revelation, keys of understanding and interpretation into Kingdom mysteries and secrets reserved for the Last Days. Passages that have been present all along but with limited understanding will become illuminated and saturated with Spirit and Life. There is now being released from Heaven a spiritual endowment that will provide divine wisdom and revelatory insight. The prophecies of Isaiah point to this saying:

You have heard (these things foretold), now you see this fulfillment. And will you not bear witness to it? I show you specified new things from this time forth, even hidden things (kept in reserve) which you have not known.

They are created now (called into being by the prophetic word), and not long ago; and before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, Behold, I knew them!—Isaiah 48:6-7 AMP

During the days of the early Apostolic Church, unprecedented events were taking place. The disciples were compelled to examine the prophetic writings of the prophets to provide a Scriptural basis for their experiences. No one could have anticipated the prophetic fulfillment that transpired on the Day of Pentecost. The Scriptures pointing to Pentecost were present all along but now the experience itself unlocked revelatory insight into the mysteries of the Kingdom that were imparted during the early Church.

There are notable thoughts and plans resident in God's heart that have been sealed and held in reserve until the appointed time. That day has now arrived and the Lord is releasing spiritual impartations that will be dynamic in their applications. The Scriptural truths and Kingdom mysteries that are imminently before us will have as much impact today as Martin Luther's ninety-five theses nailed to the Church door in Wittenberg, Germany, did in the early 16th century.

Dear Brothers
As we  rapidly approach the end of another year the prophets for profit begin their Christmas/New Year prophecy specials. It is important that the word of truth be heard no matter how unpopular it is to the masses. I call on you, God's Leaders to stand your ground and make the clarion call clear for those who wish to follow King Jesus!

2010 Predictions

                  2010 Predictions

From now till the end of the year 2010 predictions will begin to proliferate the Christian landscape. Churches will be full of promises and prophesies of Great personal advancement/This is the year I get my Blessing etc etc . Here are a few things to ponder:

1. Do you REALLY think results are going to change if you have made no changes to how you do things in 2009??? The Word for the hour is TRANSITION for TRANSFORMATION or "Change"

2. Have you been brainwashed concerning the direction this nation is going? (Government can't help us)
The country is sick inside no external bandage can heal us. We need repentance and revival.

3. Have you lost all sense of spiritual discernment concerning the state of "the Body of Christ" and its readiness to meet her maker? (Today there are more Christian who are out of fellowship in Jacksonville than all those who will attend any and all congregations) Here is a better prediction there will be more Christians at the Jaguar/Dolphins game than all the churches put together this Sunday.

4. Would a loving Father not discipline those he loves and just leave them to their own demise?
A son may forget and walk away but The Father must honor the Blood of His Son that
5. How do you take out spots in the natural and what do you apply to wrinkles to get them out? Eph 5:27
Let me ask you another way. What is the name of the piece inside in the middle of your washing machine?
If you said "AGITATOR" you got it right. It does the work of slamming it against the ROCK by the river in 3rd World Countries. Let's not even discuss the iron I think you catch my drift.

6. The natural tendency is to say "is all is well" Let's just LOVE LOVE LOVE In Psychology the term for that is "DENIAL"

7. This country and now the church run on the almighty dollar so good predictions Hype up the people and sell CD's. It is not new. They did it in the Old Testament just before the Babylonian Captivity. Jer 5:31
1 The prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule by their own power;
And My people love to have it so.
But what will you do in the end?
NKJV

It is my prayer that the hidden holy army of King Jesus will arise and shine like the stars in the midst of the confusion with mighty signs, wonders and miracles before a needy world.

Dan 12:3
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
NKJV

With love,
jose

A Word concerning the Justice Movement in My Church

by Zack Langhammer

I am raising up a people that will watch with my son for an hour. My people shall understand what it means to watch and pray. Laodicea is being judged, the spirit of burning has been poured out, and the plumbline is being set. There will be no halting between two opinions. These who are mine hear my voice and will begin to burn with the longings of my heart.

In 2010 many will be suddenly released and sent out to be my hands and feet in the Earth. These who have been a faithful servant in intercession will be commissioned as a faithful witness in the darkest places. These can be entrusted with the light of my glory – which is my love – my jealous love. Many will know what it is to encounter my heart and feel the depth of my groanings for humanity’s depravity. The veil over the eyes of my church is being severed as sons and daughters know me not only in the power of my resurrection, but also in the fellowship of my sufferings. My torn flesh is your open heaven, and my victory on the cross must again be the focal point of all that you say and do. My spirit is upon you to GO.

The greatest demonstrations of my power and my glory are just before you. As the world becomes darker, the light of my glory is rising upon you. Can you see it, can you hear it’s sound? Can you look into my eyes of fire? Can you see the river before my throne is from the tears that my Father and I cry over our creation that was created in our image?

Beloved you must bind up the brokenhearted and bring my kingdom to the poor; but you must know my broken heart because of injustices. Poverty is injustice, slavery is injustice, sickness is injustice. But even more grave than these are the injustices within my own church. I call you to dig within the walls and look and see how my people have partaken the greatest of injustices – the injustice of compromise, the injustice of cold love, the injustice of unbelief. My cross paid the price for all sin and is enough to remove all injustice, but many in my bride has chosen to befriend the world rather than be my friend. I call you right now to repent of complacency and denounce lethargy. Wake up sleepy bride, let my spirit search you thoroughly and revive your zeal – and I will replace the lamp-stand of your first love before my throne. I am raising up a nazarite company of burning ones that will walk fearlessly across the corners of the Earth, fearing my voice more than any man. Will you be one of these my spirit is raising up?

I am raising up an abolitionist movement – a justice movement that will establish kingdom government in my church. The mantle of William Wilberforce is being released to those willing to bear it. I will begin to unravel the cords of wickedness in the sex-slave industry. Because of the intercessions of my people, child prostitution will become a hot-point of governmental action and international concern. Abortion is being weighed in the balance and those involved are being extended mercy before they must be judged. Those who desire to know me in spirit and truth will find me in the place of brokenness and humility while understanding my great desire to move in power in the Earth. My bride will be equally yoked unto me with a heart of flesh and will not allow me weep alone. I have already released grace to be able to bear this burden, and my eyes are upon those who say “yes.”

You, my bride have been betrothed to me in righteousness and in justice, the very foundations of my throne, all of my kingdom, creation itself beckons you to arise and be seated in the authority that I have given you. You are no longer a captive daughter of Zion, I have set you free. This day, arise and be seated, and become my cry in the Earth for justice. Be my hands that bring salvation, and my feet that brings good news to the poor of the Earth.

Prophecy for 2010: I Will Awaken My Church to Fresh Life and See Her Move, Says the Lord
 
Theresa Phillips
 
Theresa Phillips

Mass Evangelisms Will Take Place in 2010

"It will begin again," says the Lord.

In the assembly of about 15 people, I saw something; it caught me off guard and stirred my spirit. Then I began to "hear" with my spiritual ear a word the Church has longed for. I kept it to myself for a while, then I saw it again—the doors of churches swinging wide open. Wide open and vast amounts of people running into the Church.

Then I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak to me, "Mass evangelisms will take place in 2010. It will be stronger than ever," says the Lord, "and these who are saved will run like rushing waters. For I will ignite them as firebrands plucked from a fire, and they will cause many more to run into the House of the Lord. Because of the Good News!"

Isaiah 59:19 (King James Version) So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in, like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against Him.

Proverbs 26:18
Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows...

Once again the Church will say, "I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go up to the house of the Lord.'" The Joy of the Lord will come back to the Church.

Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD."

Going up is what the Church will do. It will arise to the heights, and even the media will begin to proclaim mighty words of the Bible. "Media will start being saved," says the Lord.

The Word will be in the streets and in the shops; it will be everywhere. Even billboards! For the Lord has stirred His Bride; He is bidding her "awaken" even now.

Showers from Heaven Will Flow in 2010

He has kissed His Church with the treasures of Heaven, like the tale of a slumbering princess. The Kiss is blissful.

He has poured out diamonds and gold; He has given the treasures of Heaven to those in the below. He will continue to do so, and they will come unexpectedly. They will come in various places. Showers from Heaven will flow in 2010.

He has been rocking nations in grace. As we (the Body of Christ) wait—now a visitation will occur; it will come fast and furious. It will bring healings, miracles, and signs and wonders; and restoration to those who have fallen. He will restore desolate places and ignite many, wooing them back.

His glory will be seen in the streets, and in private He will call the Evangelist forward. He is establishing houses of evangelism. He is preparing the Body for the upcoming tide.

Awaken, sleeping beauty. Arise to the Beloved. The time is now. "The time has begun," says the Lord, "to favor the Lord with many newcomers." Teachers will teach the good news once again with great passion—fresh passion.

Scriptures of Encouragement

Worship Him: Psalm 57:8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

Provision is His will for you: Proverbs 20:13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.

The Spirit of God inside us will hear: Song of Solomon 5:2 (Beloved): I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My lover is knocking: "Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night."

Courage will return: Isaiah 51:9 Awake, awake! Clothe Yourself with strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through?

Eyes will open to fresh revelations of Him: Luke 9:32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

Yes, we will be awake, for He is waking us to: "Life, Life, Life," says the Lord, "I will awaken My Church to fresh life and see her move, captivating this King's heart and making ready to stand: No, Church, you will not fall. You will not fall.

"Yes, stand, for you can stand," says the Lord. "Now go and tell what great things I have done for you and watch the hearts before you receive Me," says the Lord.

This is the time that you've been waiting for…… for a long time. This is the day; this is the hour for the revelation of the True sons of Almighty God.

 

Stand up, step out and let My Holy Spirit overshadow you, strengthen you to flow through you.

 

Many false teachings will come to the Body of Christ. Many will come in My Name and declare the opposite of the Truth of My Word. Those who know Me by heart, and through experience will not be deceived, for they will walk in the Power of My Spirit.

 

Come back to your first Love. Let Me reveal Myself unto you once again. Do not fear what man can do to you, but fear and tremble in the Presence of My Father.

 

My Grace, and Loving-Kindness will motivate you day by day. Short – short – short – yes, My Precious one, time is in fact very short. The coming of My Glory is close at hand.

 

My true Bride will prepare her heart, and be set apart. Come of out the world My Bride, let Me betroth you in a Pure and Holy Way.

 

There are two definite camps. Those who want to move on, because they know by experience that there is so much more. Yes, they know My Heartbeat. The other group is those who are following religious rituals. In that they find their safety.

 

You will not be able to enter into My rest, if you do not allow Me to own you wholeheartedly.

 

Burning walls, the Spirit of God is destroying the walls of religion, and people’s eyes will be open, to see and  experience the goodness and faithfulness of Jesus.

 

The essence will be on My unconditional Love. Let your Love increase while you are abiding in My Presence. Be still and know that I AM your God. My Light will keep on increasing upon this earth. Do not let the world contaminate your heart, but be a doer of My Word and My Will. Step right into your calling, for the time is truly shorter than you think.

 

Super abundance will follow My faithful servants. To be a servant is to carry one another, and lift one another up, through prayer, support and to be there.

 

The world will come to the realization that I AM, those who think that I do not exist, will have an experience with Me. I will reveal Myself unto My creation to a greater and more intense Way. For I AM the Truth, The Way, and The only Door to Life.

 

The scales will fall off their eyes, yes, the veil will be thorn away of their hearts, so that they will know and realize that I do exist. My Love will overshadow My people.

 

Everyone on this earth need to make a decision, they are either for Me, or totally against Me. My voice and the evidence of My existence will nobody be able to take away, or to deny it any longer.

 

Many people will fall away, but only by their own choice. It’s not My Heart’s desire, or the attention of My Heart that anyone should perish. There are those who deliberately make a choice not to follow Me. Great will be the destruction of mankind.

 

Natural disasters will increase, famine and poverty and a total calamity of mankind will become stronger. Some will bow their knee, and some will try to hide. Others will try to destroy My people, but My voice, My Power, My Strength and Wisdom will never be able to be quiet. They can try to quiet My people. But My Dunamis Power will rise more than ever before. I will reveal Myself. Miracles in all areas will come upon this earth, till the whole earth is being filled with My Glory.

 

It is My Kingdom that will be established here upon the earth through My people. I AM what I AM, I AM Who I AM, the Living Creator of everything that exist.

 

Be ready, be prepared, for My Super Abundance is near, it is here…….

 

 

Let Thy Kingdom Come

Let Thy Will be done”

 

AMEN

2010 a season of intense ministry in the body of christ

Dedric Hubbard

As God's church moves toward the year 2010 prepare for a season of Consecration unto the Lord 2010 will be a year of redemption testimonies as world -renowned ministers and such will feel the weight of their sins and will repent. What does the year 2010 mean? Ten is a number of testimony which stands for responsibility, intensified, signifying the measure of responsibility and its judgment or reward.  Ten is also one of the perfect numbers, and signifies the perfection of divine order. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect. In other words there will be a season in which God will pronounce judgment on some and promotion on others ( a season in which your sins will find you out). This will be  a season when a model of God's perfect church will begin to emerge on the scene one in which true love abounds and the gifts of the spirit operate as the spirit dictates. Inside this perfect church a pastor will recognize through a visitation from God that the church has been misinformed through bad examples and move to correct this issue. This move will bring order to the church as this pastor redistributes the weight of the ministry among the other ministry gifts hence ten meaning completeness of order. Which means a pastor was never meant to operate a church with full authority it was meant to be shared among the other ascension gifts.

Isn't it like God as we move into a year in which God reclaims his church twenty standing for redemption and ten standing for testimony and the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy that he moves to reclaim what is rightfully his. Which leads to a season of strong prophetic movement coming early in 2010 between Jan.- March these calm, mild mannered, individuals maybe overlooked  in the natural but, God states they are heavywieghts in the spirit realm this will be one season you will not want to judge the book by the cover. There will be new prophet's that will emerge on the ministry circle and they will be known by there ROAR - Repent Or Assume Risk which means this will be a season of intense repentance, then consecration before the Lord. Remember what ten stands for see above paragraph. This will be a season when many ministers/prodigal sons will come to themselves and return to aid in the work of the kingdom. In order to preach restoration you have to be restored the trial that you have been going through was to equip you for this very season you will preach the gospel, you will lay hands on the sick and they will recover, you will prophesy to the people and they will return. You will return to the ministry, you will return to your family and you will be made whole and you will be rewarded double for your trouble.

These new prophets will be people of character, consistency, and consecration they will affirm, confirm, and produce kingdom people because they are kingdom minded they are strategically place in the world but are connected in the spirit. These prophets are not self-absorbed and are without the all eyes on me mentality as are some. They are constantly working in the background equipping saints, uplifting ministries, and releasing saints into their destiny. If nothing else 2010 is the year of intense prophetic impartation.

2010 will also be a season in which God starts to perfect those things that concern him.

A 2010 Marketplace Message
Clay Sikes
Dec 26, 2009

2010, perhaps like no year in recent history, will signal abrupt change for many ‘front line’ remnant Saints. This change, I believe, will begin in the marketplace and extend into many other areas of life and ministry. A ‘front line’ remnant Saint is one who has faced the intensity of battle for an extended period of time; one who has discernment between ‘true relationship’ and ‘religious pursuit;’ one who recognizes that it is God’s purpose in life, and never his own. Where we are in this progression will be revealed in coming years, but will begin in earnest in 2010. For those leading the ‘charge,’ a sudden and unmistaken joy will arise; a joy so powerful that it will be reminiscent of our ‘first love.’ This joy will invite manifestations of God’s love and favor upon His people, as a succession of miraculous events will leave little room for even the most skeptical - God is ‘in the house!’
2010 will offer even greater evidences of ‘contrast’ than did 2009, as God continues to distinguish His own from those who are not. It is said that ‘possession’ is nine tenths of the law. In God, ‘possession’ is the law; and to the degree we are ‘possessed’ of God to that same degree will the revelation of God be revealed in our lives. A fully possessed man does not belong to himself – He lives for God. Many claim to ‘live for God,’ but cannot because they do not hear Him. Only true Sons can ‘hear’ Him, and to the degree we ‘hear’ to that degree are we possessed, as only His sheep hear His voice. It is important to note that the word ‘His’ is possessive and denotes ownership. Possession in this context has little to do with outward appearance; it is a condition of the ‘heart.’ Many caught up in the ‘Church System’ do not recognize this simple fact as ‘works’ and outward appearance are the poor substitutes that often block true relationship. The fires of affliction however, have a way of balancing this impropriety.    
Two words best describe the prophetic relevance of 2010 – Sudden Evidence. ‘Sudden’ is a word describing the ‘abrupt’ changes that 2010 will bring, as things long stagnant will suddenly begin to move. ‘Evidence’ refers to the physical manifestation of a long sought ‘breakthrough.’ Often our areas of greatest crisis are the areas of our calling and gifting. The enabling ‘word made flesh’ in our lives, which brings deliverance during crisis, is the overcoming testimony that leads and liberates others. Crisis abounds in the marketplace, and no greater place can the aforementioned ‘contrast’ be revealed in a global sense than in the marketplace. The proverbial cart is now in the ditch and God’s appointed and anointed will arise with solutions. One’s leadership ability is directly proportionate to one’s ability to solve and resolve problems. Appointed leaders will arise with solutions, first for themselves and their communities, and then to the nations. ‘Watch’ as entire systems are replaced! The Kingdom of God will replace the World’s System in virtually every area of existence. As the ‘Kingdom’ emerges in the marketplace the fragile ‘World’s System’ will continue to crumble.  
Credit, once the vehicle of commerce, will be replaced as barter and exchange will become more prevalent in times ahead. Borrowing will give way to lending as God’s appointed kings and priest take their rightful positions within their appointed Kingdom sphere. These evidences will begin in isolated areas of seemingly ‘global insignificance,’ but will give eventual rise to an entire system of monumental global significance. The abruptness of this happening and the changes that it will bring to the marketplace will startle many yet give rise to economic recovery long sought by economist and world leaders.
 Those marked to initiate these changes in 2010 have two specific common denominators: 1) they are sensitive to ‘Kingdom Coalitions’ – alliances, partnerships, and relationships of God’s choosing that release supernatural synergy to accomplish God’s purpose. As with Joseph, some of these alliances may be with and from Pharaoh. Just as they are sensitive to ‘associations,’ so too are they sensitive to ‘disassociations.’ Relationships steeped in religiosity will delay the plan of God. 2) They “considered not the deadness of Sarah’s womb.” Never did the ‘deadness’ of their marketplace calling affect their decisions, as the fruit of their faith was grounded in ‘hearing.’ Those who have remained steadfast in God appointed and anointed calling will emerge from the fires of affliction waving the banner of God as they walk the way of God, and in the process bring in many sons.

2010—A Year to Rise to New Levels of Faith
 
Rebecca Greenwood
 

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I love this promise from Hebrews 11:1. It tells us that even when we do not know and see all the things that have been promised to us—when we have prayed for years for a specific breakthrough and it has not yet come, when circumstances in our lives are going the exact opposite direction they should be, when people let us down or betray us, when we are being pressed through financially difficult times—we can put our hope and trust in the Lord and expect that He is going to prove Himself faithful on our behalf.

One thing I know and we all can agree upon is that when we are being put through uncomfortable times, it doesn't feel good. We are being stretched. We have days where we are filled with faith and other days when we wonder how we will make it through. There are times we are certain in our standing and then feel the weight of the burden we are carrying in our place of waiting for breakthrough and deliverance—knowing He is the only One who can truly deliver and see us through. We all have these days.

But the beauty of the Lord is—He never wastes any season in our lives. He always works all things in our lives for good if we allow Him to. I love this truth that one of my friends shares: Our certainty is in Him, which means that we embrace this world's uncertainty in a spirit of expectancy! What an awesome, encouraging word. You see, these times and seasons bring growth, an overcoming spirit, and release us into a growing maturity and authority in Him. Our hope and expectancy is placed in Him. As we move into 2010—it is a year in which we are to rise to new levels of faith, breaking out of the old season and expecting "in faith" that the impossible will be made possible in the new.

Peter's Faith Lesson

I love this story of Peter in Matthew 14. We know the scene. Jesus walked on the water in the midst of the winds and the storm approaching the boat in which the disciples had sailed in the night hours. As He drew close, some of the disciples thought He was a ghost. Jesus reassured the twelve that it was Him. Can you imagine witnessing someone walk on water? I am sure they were awestruck and even had a difficult time wrapping their minds around what they were witnessing. Peter in his zealousness cried out, "Lord if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water."

How does our Lord respond? He simply answers, "Come." He did not give Peter a teaching lesson on how to get out of the boat. He did not tell him what the waves would feel like under his feet. He did not teach Peter how to keep his balance on the rocky water as the waves were mounting in strength and intensity with the ever escalating winds. He did not explain or reveal to Peter that he would be able to walk or if he would sink. He just told Peter to come.

Peter, in abandoned faith and trust in the Lord, climbed out of the boat and began to supernaturally walk toward our Lord. I love it! He is the only human in history besides Jesus that we know of who has walked on water. As I write, I am reminded of a cartoon my daughters used to watch. It showed Peter walking on the water with great joy in this unchartered Kingdom moment that he was experiencing with the Redeemer of the world. I can envision the heart of Jesus welling up with love and encouragement for Peter.

In my version of the Bible, I can see and hear Jesus coaching Peter in his mind, "Come on! Yes! You are doing it! You are walking on the water!" But Peter's joy soon turned to fear and despair when the winds and the storm grew to such intensity that he suddenly realized the undeniable fact of the impending danger in which he had willingly placed himself. Overcome by the water and sinking to his certain death, he cries out, "Lord, save me!" Without hesitation, our Lord immediately reaches out to rescue him.

Now is my favorite part of the story. Jesus asks, "Why did you doubt?" I believe He was not rebuking Peter for his failure or lack of faith. It was not failure, but an historic Kingdom moment in human history and the Body of Christ. Our Lord was encouraging him to increase in faith and hold on to it. He was saying, "Peter, you had it. You were doing it. Great job. Even in the midst of the darkness, the winds and the pounding waves you saw and heard, you responded to My voice calling. You could have even walked further and longer." You see, Peter was the only one of the 12 willing to even risk the danger. And as our Lord was instructing him, they made the journey back to the boat together on top of the perilous water.

Sound Familiar?

I can relate to Peter. Can you? We have entered a season in history in which we are witnessing darkness infiltrating society. The spiritual winds and storms are growing in strength and speed, blowing hard, and causing everything familiar to be moved out of its place, and our footing may feel unsecure and unsteady. But these winds are driving out all impurities and fanning the flame of the fire of the Lord within each of us, where we begin to hear that still small voice of promise that begins to rise up until it becomes a resounding heart's cry—faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. And as stated further in the Hebrews 11, concerning the ancients who were great men and women of faith, all these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance.

We are living in the days and times where we are going to see the things promised that great men and women of faith have seen and prophesied for thousands of years. We are in a historic time in the world. Darkness is increasing in a final attempt to keep its hold on what is rightfully our inheritance and absolutely belongs to the Lord! Pagan beliefs, moral decay and sinful ungodly systems are taking their stand. But as the winds of darkness, uncertainty and evil try to overcome us, we know who our hope, faith, trust and expectancy is in! He is the majestic King who rides on a white horse and sits at the right hand of our Father, far above all dominion, powers and authorities. And it is with Him that we can stand and overcome.

God is giving us the ability to have night vision in the darkness where we can see the light in the midst of the storm, recognize the danger of the waves, face the reality of where we are in this season, and all the while expect God to do great and awesome feats for us, in us and through us. Can we hear His voice calling, "Come!"? Do we feel the strength of His hand reaching down to ours with that firm secure grip in who He is, pulling us out of our trials and tests?

To Spur Us on to Faith

Here are promises of what faith provides to each of us:

1. It is an unquestioning, unwavering belief that does not require proof or evidence.
2. A true faith is triumphant in the worst situations.
3. Faith seeks God and His Kingdom first.
4. Faith believes in God's goodness.
5. Faith stands on God's Word.
6. Faith obeys God's commands.
7. Faith lives life on God's promises.
8. Faith is full of joy.
9. Faith is full of thanksgiving and praise.
10. Faith praises God.
11. Faith causes worship to rise up within us.
12. Faith rejects the spirit of this present evil age.
13. Faith releases Kingdom authority.
14. Faith seeks a heavenly home.
15. Faith perseveres in the seasons of testing.
16. Faith blesses the next generation.
17. Faith refuses sin's pleasures.
18. Faith endures persecution.
19. Faith performs mighty acts of righteousness.
20. Faith suffers for God.
21. Faith does not return to this world and its way.
22. Faith steps into the new moves of God.
23. Faith moves mountains.
24. Faith prays, hears God's voice and believes His words.
25. Faith speaks forth the word of God.
26. Faith knows the love of God.
27. Faith is captivated by Jesus.
28. Faith releases anointing and the supernatural.

Reigning in Life

Our God is awesome, powerful, and faithful. He created each of us to walk in faith and shine as Kingdom ambassadors. Paul gives us an incredible positional truth in Romans 5:17: "For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ."

Paul does not say that life reigns over us. Nor does he say that life reigns in us. He does say that we shall reign in life! Here are definitions for basileuo the Greek word for reign: "to be king, to exercise kingly power, to govern a province, to exercise the highest influence, to control." As I studied this verse, I discovered that this great promise of Romans 5:17 can be translated word by word into the following interpretation:

If one man's one offense let loose against us the tyrant power of Death, to hold us as its victims in helpless bondage, much more, when we stand forth enriched with God's abounding grace and in the beauty of complete absolution (forgiveness, pardon, release, freedom, liberty) from countless offenses, shall we increase in a life divinely owned and legally secured, reigning (exercising the highest influence and kingly power, governing a province) in exultant freedom and unchallenged might, through that other matchless One, Jesus Christ!

What a powerful promise! In this season, we cannot allow our fears to hold us back. We must advance the Kingdom of God. As the Body of Christ we have to move out of a condition of fear and into our rightful position of faith, boldness and authority. This is not a time to shrink back, but to move forward. Fear has to go!

We have been too long on the defense instead of the offense. The Lord gave me a vision, describing the promised season we are in. It's also included in my book Destined to Rule. It is a simple analogy, but I want to share it as it will give us encouragement and understanding.

I saw a football game. The two teams were lined up at the line of scrimmage preparing for the ball to be snapped. One team wore black uniforms and the other white. The team with white uniforms was the Lord's team and the team with black uniforms was satan's. At the beginning of the game the white-uniform team had possession of the ball, but fumbled. The black-uniform team recovered the ball and began to run plays that were winning the game.

At one point the ball was intercepted by one member of the white-uniform team, but it was as if his team members did not know it had changed hands. So even though the ball was rightfully theirs, they continued to allow the black-uniform team to run offense. The white-uniform team focused only on defending its territory, as though expecting to be on the defense.

But suddenly, the white-uniform team seemed to realize that the ball had been theirs and that the other team had possession only because they had handed it over voluntarily. They decided that enough was enough. On the next play they intercepted the ball confidently! Not only that, the player with the ball ran so quickly to the end zone that the other team could not catch him. The white-uniform team left the black-uniform team in the dust to win the game.

Friends, we are the white team. The truth is we are so busy in the defensive mode that we do not realize we have the right to grab that ball and run the offense. Not only are we to call the plays, but we are to run with confidence, assurance, faith and authority.

When we rise out of bed in the morning, darkness should come to attention. We are the ones to call the offensive play of the day that will end with a victory. We have to shift our thinking from "What do we have to defend ourselves from today?" to living each day focused in faith on God and His plans. We praise Him for His goodness. We expect to see individuals, families, workplaces, cities and nations transformed for the glory of God.

Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us.—Hebrews 12:1 AMP

In this season let's get out of the boat, walk on the turbulent water in the midst of the mounting waves and dangerous winds with the mindset of no regrets and no reserves. Let's be partnering with the Lord in calling the offensive play of the day. And above all be in expectant faith in Him to move!

In His Abundant Blessings,

Rebecca Greenwood

2010 Two Minutes Till Twelve

By Ron McGatlin
Urgency of the Moment
There is not urgency with God. The urgency is with us. God will have a people and His kingdom will reign on Planet Earth. The blood of Christ Jesus was not shed in vain. His return in the Spirit to live on earth in His Body is not empty of potency.
Can you hear the clear call of 2010 to quickly and totally repent and shed the shroud of religious form and cultural corruption? Only a relative short time remains for many people of this generation to fall on the rock before experiencing the rock crushing to powder.
Religion and godless secularism has invaded the people like a dark fog shutting out the bright light of God and creating a covering for every devilish sin. The potent light of the life of righteousness, peace, and joy purchased by the blood and imparted by the indwelling Spirit of Christ Jesus is hidden from view of the corrupt culture beneath the darkness of religion and secularism.
The next two years, 2010 and 2011, provide a glorious opportunity to fall on the rock of Christ Jesus, throw off the shroud of religion, and call for the wind of the Spirit of God to blow away forever the black fog. The glorious light will shine forth in omnipotence to fill the hearts and lives of those who will make true disciples of all nations.
Mat 21:42-44: Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: 'The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."
Multitudes released unto God, cleansed of religion and cultural corruption, will move in the power of God’s love that produces wisdom to recognize and operate in the keys to unlock the omnipotence of God to destroy the works of the devil and heal the land (Mat 16:19) (Luke 10:19).
Merchandising ministers and ministries that will not fall upon the rock and be broken will know the rock crushing to powder. Greed-driven business and industry will know the same fate. Intellectualism and humanism and all it has built that will not glorify God and return all glory to Him, will become as dust blown about. The pleasure seekers and all their perverted sexual merchandisers of humanity will be blown away before the winds of the Spirit, and the return of the glory of God will come forth on earth as it is in heaven (Mal 4).
All things have become possible to those who have fallen on the rock and are broken. In the world they shall have tribulation, yet all this shall be overcome in the Spirit of Christ Jesus who has overcome the world (Mark 9:23). The surge of Spirit life will inspire and empower millions into life above and beyond the natural realm into the realms of the Spirit of the omnipotent God who was and is and shall forever be the creator and sustainer of all that exist.
The Latter Stages of Preparation
 
Falling upon the rock and being broken is part of the process of preparation for His people to flow as one with Christ Jesus in the Spirit. Many are in the later stages of preparation to move into the reality of function of speaking forth what is seen and heard in the Spirit and seeing it formed into the earth. Every word clearly heard and spoken forth by the voice of God in His people will change that to which it speaks.
 
Words from God are loaded with quick and sure impact to transform and create the kingdom from heaven into the natural realm in this world. This is not for someone else. This is for you and every redeemed child of God. The Christ in you is the Spirit of Prophesy with power to speak from heaven words with consequence into brothers and sisters and into the world. This is for everyone and not just big name prophets or apostles. The power of the Spirit flows as rivers of living water from within those who have fallen upon the rock and are broken, emptied of self and refilled with the Spirit of God (John 7:38-39).
 
God is speaking LIFE to His people and to His world. It is you to whom He is speaking, and it is you who are to prophesy life to yourself and to all around you who are searching for answers. The world and its governments have no answers. Christ in you has the words of life to fill the hearts of the searchers – words that explode in encouragement, strengthening and empowering people to get out of themselves and their limitations and into the omnipotent life of Christ.
 
Don’t go anywhere – don’t do or say anything until you see or hear by the Spirit, the vision or the word of what God is doing. Stop all ministering from the natural mind and soul, and seek into the Spirit until the picture or understanding of what God is saying and doing comes into your heart. Learn to move and walk by the Spirit in all matters at all times. This is the way of God for all His world changers.
 
The world situation is not hopeless. The power to right every wrong and transform the world and its people is in the presence of Christ within His people, and that means you and me. Nothing else can fix our lives, our cities, and our nations.
 
The End of Babbling Words from Babylon
 
Falling on the rock is silencing the babble of foolish speaking coming from the fear and pride of man. The rock crushing to powder all who will not fall on the rock will dissolve all that lifts itself against the word of God, thus clearing the land for the word of life and truth to fill the earth with the ways of heaven. It is you who are called by His name and filled with His living Spirit for whom the world is languishing and longing, awaiting for words of life from God to flow from your mouth. The people around you and across the world are waiting for the river of life from Christ in you, the hope of glory.
 
Prophetically or millennially speaking it is two minutes till twelve. If we see and hear what God is doing now and speak it into this life, we will release the power of God to change our world.
 
Mark 11:22-23: So Jesus answered and said to them, "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.” 
 
Embarking on a marvelous expedition into the realm of spirituals in 2010,
 
Ron McGatlin

Prophetic Word for 2010 - For All Believers Worldwide
 
Dennis Cramer
 

Annual Word of the Lord for 2010

In the order of their importance, here are some prophetic words the Lord gave me for all Believers for 2010. Let me emphasize these words are for ALL Believers everywhere—worldwide.

1. OBEY! As each Believer begins or continues to OBEY God, the devil will experience frustration and failure in his attempt to delay and destroy the will of God upon the earth. Simple obedience will produce incredible spiritual victories. The devil has no strategy that can successfully stop any Believer who is operating in obedience. Obedience is the KEY word for 2010. To obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen to God is better than to offer religious sacrifice. Amen. Everyone obey God!

2. SECRETS! As each Believer walks in obedience, God will begin to share even more prophetic secrets with them through the prophets for 2010. This will be a year where the prophets increase in their spiritual capacity to receive and release more SECRETS to the Church. This is what Amos meant when he said in Chapter 3, verse 7, "The Lord God does nothing (of any spiritual significance) without first revealing his SECRETS to his servants the prophets."

2010 prophets will be dealing in more high level secrets than ever before. Individuals, conferences, churches, states, regions, and even nations will have SECRETS revealed to the prophets for them. A new and even more deadly level of revelation will come to the prophets. These SECRETS will equip the Church for its role in the earth for 2010 and beyond. The Church will not be pushed around anymore. Watch out!

3. FILTERS! As each Believer walks in obedience, all negative "hearing" FILTERS—blockages, hindrances, and restrictions that affect our hearing the voice of God—will be removed. Perfect Prophetic Perception (hearing) is being restored to the Church. She will begin to hear more clearly again and act more decisively again on the word of the Lord. A spirit of deafness is coming off the Bride. She will declare, "I can hear again!"

4. HONOR! It is the year to give honor. Churches need to increase the honor they show to their leaders. "Honor to whom honor is DUE," says the Lord. Each Believer must do something to honor a servant of God who has blessed his life. Even if it means going back 30 years to bless or honor someone who blessed you. In 2010 each Believer will remove the debt of HONOR they owe another—debt free for 2010. "Owe no man a debt of honor….pay up," says the Lord!

I strongly encourage all Believers to honor or bless any minister who has helped you in your spiritual life. But don't honor them to get something more or something new; just honor, bless, or give to them for who they are and what they have already done for you in the past.

5. WISDOM! The wisdom of God is going to be heard and seen in and through the Church as never before. It is time for the Church to fully realize what Ephesians 3:10 says, "It is God's intention that right now the manifold WISDOM of God be made known in and through the Church...to all the heavenly and demonic principalities and powers."

The Church (worldwide) will be the happening place to hear and receive God's wisdom for your life for 2010. God will unveil His wisdom in and through the Church. Demons will tremble and angels will applaud as all hear the wisdom of God spoken and demonstrated in and through the Church. The Church will be the place to be for 2010 and the hotspot to hear what God has in store for the earth. People will begin to say, "You heard it here first…in the Church!" Amen.

6. CREATIVE! Apostles and Prophets will begin to unleash a barrage of prophetic creative declarations over the Church. These will not be sermons or teachings, but anointed "now" creative declarations from Heaven, literal "awakening words." Their words will have a life-giving dimension—a literal "bring into being" creative dimension when they prophesy. Apostles and prophets will operate in and express more revelation in their ministries in 2010 than in the last 10 years combined. Awesome!

7. MEDIA! For 2010 we are to take the media back from the world. Any Christian ministry that has an opportunity to get on the radio or TV needs to do it now!

8. FEAR! The Church needs to repent for the sin of fear. It is epidemic in the Church. We must all go from fearful to fearless. The devil has used fear as his number one strategy, and it has been working.

9. HOLINESS! It is time for the Church to clean up her act. "The filthiness of the flesh AND OF THE SPIRIT…" will be eradicated from the Church.

10. DREAMS! 2010 will be a year where ALL Believers will see a dramatic increase in the number of spiritual dreams they experience. Seventy-five percent of them will be warnings. Take heed.

Awaken to Your Destiny ~ 2010

Awaken to Your Destiny ~ 2010
 
The Lord showed me a sleeping bride. The Lord says I am calling my Covenant bride to awaken. I am calling My bride to wake up from her slumber and sleep and step into the place that I have prepared for her in this time and season. My bride you have been asleep for too long. It is time to arise and rekindle the flame. It is time to take your stand in My Kingdom and walk in holiness. It is time to awaken and take ground from what the enemy has stolen from you. Many of you have been crying out for revival. You have cried out for My favor and provision but many of you are lagging behind. As you arise and submit to My plans and purposes for your life I will release new mantles, callings and gifts in abundance. I will take you to new levels that you have not yet known. I desire to move you up and give you the desires of your heart but you must awaken my bride. Awaken to My plans and purposes that I have for you. Shake off your slumber and come out of your spiritual lethargy. As we are entering in to a new decade I have great things that I am about to release. You say Lord I want to go to the next level but you are hindering yourself by lagging behind. I will do wonders among you as you come before Me in total submission with clean hands and a pure heart. This is My requirement to enter in to the Holy of Holies. This is My requirement to bring you into new realms of My glory. As you submit to My plans you will see multitudes come into My kingdom. You will see the miracles, signs and wonders that you’ve longed for. Come before Me in prayer and fasting. Seek My face and I will give you direction. I am about to release My glory in abundance in this time and season and bring a transformation to My people as you submit your lives to Me. Arise My bride and awaken to your destiny!
 
Ephesians 5:13 - 17
But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 Days of Shock & Awe
 
As we are entering into a new decade we are coming into the days of Shock and Awe in the world as well as the Kingdom of God. There is a spiritual awakening on the horizon and it is time for the body of Christ to shake off all spiritual lethargy and seek the Lord in prayer and fasting for what He is about to release to us this year. The Lord desires to visit us in floods of Glory as He has promised but we must prepare our hearts to receive what we have been contending for. For those of you that are submitted to Jesus your greatest days are ahead. Many of you have been through the fires of affliction and you have been saying how long Lord? The Lord is going to visit those of you that have been seeking Him in the secret place. You are coming into a greater dimension of His glory. Yes things in the natural will continue to grow darker but don’t look to the media keep your eyes on Jesus. He is your source and He is your deliverer. Yes there is a changing of the guard. Some of you are confused because you have also been hearing many prophetic words from credible prophetic voices that seem to be contrary to one another. We are hearing that we are coming into a season of a great move of the Holy Spirit but we are also hearing that we are coming into the worst days in history. Who are we to believe? Both are accurate. It is like looking into a diamond. The Lord is showing some people one facet of the diamond who are seeing the brilliance of it, some are seeing the transparency of it but there are others that are looking into the other side and seeing the flaws. As you stay connected to the giver of life you will be safe in the secret place and experience the awe of God in your life in 2010.
 
Proverbs 4:18
The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
 
May Jesus take you from Glory To Glory in 2010 as you submit your life to Him. Happy New Year!

THE SPIRITUAL CLIMATE IS CHANGING
 
By Brian Pickering

The commencement of a New Year is always an exciting time providing as it does an opportunity for a measure of new beginnings. Will 2010 however bring anything new or will it be simply more of the same. As Christians our hope is not in what we can see, hear or touch, but our hope is in a realm that cannot be seen but which nevertheless is overwhelmingly real. Whilst the focus of the whole world in recent weeks has been on whether the physical climate is warming, and why, quietly, almost imperceptably, God has been increasing the spiritual temperature of the world.
 
That temperature change is not easily discernable on a day by day assessment but there are in the terminology of the global financial crisis of the past year, "green shoots" of hope emerging for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is doing across the world today. I believe there is a change occuring in the spiritual temperature in Australia, and across the world. Intercessors are beginning to pick up this change, which is not dramatic as in a "change of season", but nevertheless still very significant. 
 
A change of season is like a transformation from winter to summer or reverse. We are in the midst of such a change of season that began around 3/4 years ago and which is continuing. A change in the spiritual temperature however is like experiencing a welcome warm burst in the midst of a prolonged cold spell.
 
So what are the signs evidencing this change. Firstly I believe there is a developing disillusionment that promised and hoped for change in recent years has not born the fruit many were expecting. The lack of a meaningful outcome from the Copenhagen Conference, the current unrest in a number of Islamic countries such as Iran, Pakistan and Iraq, and the re-emergence of the terrorism threat to international air travel are all evidence that man does not have the answers to the worlds major problems. 

 
Philosophies such as secularism have similarly failed to provide a new dawn of enlightenment.  Political leaders across the world who promised change and answers for their people, have also been unable to deliver anything of real significance and the hope that many invested in them is beginning to wane. In this climate of lost hope many are looking for alternative sources for the answers. As Christians of course we know that there is only one answer to the problems of humanity and He is Jesus. But is the world ready yet to listen to such a proposition.
 

This change has great significance for the Christian church although it will not automatically be converted into "unqualified advance".  It will require great sensitivity and wisdom on the part of Christian leaders to harness this change, with it just as easily passing us by as another lost opportunity. People have already rejected religion as having any answers. There is however increasing evidence of renewed interest in Kingdom Christianity which allows people to experience Jesus without necessarily having to embrace "religion". 

 
There is also a detectable increase in the faith level of many committed Christians. New ministries with a Kingdom focus, are emerging at a rapid rate and having great influence in areas that are at present away from the public eye.  Many of these ministries are springing up in areas where Christianity has not had previous influence and people who were previously antagonistic to things "religious" are now becoming inquisitive and open to a practical expression of the Gospel not tainted with "religion".
 

This change in the spiritual climate is resulting in fresh winds of the Spirit emerging. Whereas the winds of change have in recent years been headwinds blowing against the Christian faith, the "wind change" is now resulting in decisions and trends beginning to turn around and go the way of upholding Christian values and virtues.  There will always be a mixture of victories and defeat as the battle continues to rage but it is the level of the spiritual temperature that determines which side of the "balance" the most victories fall on. 

 
Have you noticed the increasing number of positive stories emanating across the world that have populated our recent newsletters both at the national and international level. Here are some recent examples:
 

* The enemies plans are being exposed in many different areas of life, with resultant change occuring in both political and social aspects of the life of a number of nations across the world. 

* A Huge Christian gathering has taken place in Vietnam against the wishes of the atheistic Government
* The House of Lords has upheld free speech by defeating attempts to muzzle Christian critique of Islam and homosexuality in Britain.
* The ACT Government banned Focus on the Family from their schools and then had to reverse the decision when accusations against them were proven false.
* The Victorian Government upheld the right of the Church to discriminate in employment against those holding opposing views to Christianity.
* The YMCA in parts of America has moved to reclaim its Christian heritage.
* Unravelling of Sharia finance deals in Dubai have caste doubts on Islamic teaching and laws on matters of finance  
* A former Dutch Parliamentarian has admitted legalising euthanasia was a mistake

* A Canadian Pastor has been exonerated of hate speech crime for speaking out against homosexuality
* British Christians have won their case after being accused of insulting a Muslim customer

* Euthanasia has been rejected in the South Australian Parliament

* Euthanasia has been defeated in the Tasmanian Parliament

* Residents of Witchita in Kansas have run adult businesses out of town
* Iranian Christian women who refused to deny their faith have been freed from prison in Iran
* Steps have been taken in both Australia, and just recently in India, to limit access to internet pornography
 

These are just a few examples of how the spiritual climate is changing. Maybe small signs in the bigger world picture, and it does not mean the war has been won but the battle has certainly not been lost. Even though we may continue to lose some battles in the short term let us be encouraged to believe that God is still very much at work in His world and His unmerited favour still rests with His people if we will but be available and obedient, holding firm to His teachings and His ways.
 

Now is the time for genuine faith, not religious rhetoric, to emerge. A new day is dawning. The Kingdom of God is advancing. The enemies plans are unravelling. New expressions of Christianity are emerging. Will 2010 be a year when we, the people of God, rise above our fears and negativity as our faith in Christ rises to where our trust in Him outweighs our fear of what the enemy is doing?  I believe it will be and that we can approach 2010 with renewed faith and hope.
 
Territory taken from us as a result of our past fear and lethagy will be restored to those who choose to walk by faith, walking humbly and obediently in the revealed will of God. Watch what God is doing in the nations. Watch for new emerging leaders who will come forth, not promising a world from which God is banished, but a return to a recognition that the "ancient paths" of righteousness and justice remain our only hope of making our world a better place to live. 
 
Watch for emerging cracks in the facade of other world religions as disunity and infighting reveals their inability to provide hope of a new future. Watch as secularism continues to implode, its ideas being increasingly seen as irrelevant in a world looking for real answers and hope. Watch as the world rejects "religion" in all its forms but increasingly is drawn to the teachings of Jesus with new expressions of Kingdom living emerging in the most unlikely places. Let us move into 2010 therefore with renewed confidence and hope, not in OUR ability to overcome, but in HIS ability to open the way forward for us to advance behind Him. 

 
Happy New Year to you all.

The Word of the Lord for 2010 - Gene Redlin

For the past several days I have been making special efforts to hear from God for the year to come. I have done this every year since 2004. Each year I become more bold in proclaiming what the Lord is saying. He is faithful to fulfill what He says. The word of the Lord is always true. I may not always hear it right or report it right, but HE is always true.

I submit these words with confidence in our God and with fear and trembling. When I look back over the words from the past several years I see a pattern. Sometimes it has been more WHAT than When. God's prophetic word seldom comes with a timetable. The word of the Lord is best offered in these times because the hearts of men are prone to hear the Word during time of transition.

I do know this, HIS Word is always true.

At the turn of the calender for the Jewish year to 5770 I gave a word of Prophecy for the year to come. Before I begin to publish the word of the Lord for 2010 in our Julian Calender, it might be good to review what the Lord was saying a few months ago. It's no less true now. The prophetic words to follow will be additional instruction.

If you review
the word of the Lord for the past several years he has always dealt with me in areas, mountains as Lance Wallnau would call them. I prophesy over these contested realms.

This gives me and you a chance to understand that God's intention is to have the Kingdoms of the world to become the Kingdoms of our God.

Let the reader understand what the Spirit of God is saying.


The Economy
You hear in media that things will be OK. Things are recovering. Strained optimism is everywhere. They are nothing more than signs in the tea leaves. False hope is rebounding everywhere. Even those who are MY Prophets are saying things will be fine. That is true, but not for all people and not for a long time. What is things will be fine, when is the unrevealed.

People in power have done all they can do to stimulate the economy. I am God over the economy. I make one step up and another step down. The leaders do all they can do but it's a futile effort until My word is released in the earth.

The adjustment (Justice) that I began on Rosh Ha Shanna 2008-9 is not yet complete. The only thing supporting this economy is hope in government, hope in systems, hope in hope. Until Hope in ME is restored there is no hope. Only hopelessness.

The greed and excess that caused Baal to fall has not yet been removed from a system with evil as it's intention. This is more than just a floating higher balloon driven by so much hot air, this is an illusion. People have become prisoners of hope.

There will be one more drastic downturn soon. Efforts will be made to hold this off until after the political season. It will only make things worse. Corruption to be removed is at the heart of this judgment. Once this downturn is completed it will be a very long time until recovery can take place. Well into the decade to come. 2015.

Oil prices will soar, for a short time. Gold will go up in value for a very short time, housing will not recover for a very long time, Unemployment is going to stay very high. This will be a time for you to learn to TRUST in MY provision. For some it will be ravens by the Brook. For others a cruz of oil and a little meal.

Fear not. It's all part of an adjustment that must come. It will mean a currency devaluation that will stagger many. Wealth will be destroyed. It will mean that many will come to the end of themselves. True wealth will be found, and it's not in worldly systems.

It's time for truth and justice to be restored. The old systems have become a false God. It was essential that this idol come down.

I will have no other God's before ME. I stand above any man's market or economy. When I call a famine or prosperity I call for it and it will happen. Be certain, I will take away anything that tries to substitute itself for dependence on ME. Particularly those called by my name must repent of dependence on the world for their provision as if they have forgotten my name as Jehovah Jireh.

I am the Lord your God, there is no other.


Business and Industry
There will be tremendous opportunities in the year to come...and in the decade. Huge fortunes will be made. And lost. Some will be made in places and by methods that do not yet exist in the mind of man. I AM the author of secrets to great wealth, hidden treasures and witty inventions. These things kept hidden from the world for you to find. If I made it easy and open many would exploit them for their own benefit. I created these things not for the world, but for the righteous. The wealth is hidden (stored up) for the righteous. You will have to prepare. You will have to be vigilant. Creativity will be needed. And, keen sensitivity to the prompting of MY Spirit. Other deceiving and tempting economic spirits will come. They are NOT of me.

Your security will be found only in ME. I will provide. Your job is not going to be secure. Even one offered by government is empty for I shall destroy the idea of government jobs as security. Too many have substituted security found in other places for what was always meant to be found in me alone. You security will be found only in ME. Seek me and you will find Me. As you find me, you will find peace, joy, rest and LIFE.

Interest rates will rise. Money will tight by the world's standard. Difficulty will be amplified in the worlds system. Yet, as you stay steady in ME I will show myself strong to provide and deliver.

Don't fear. Don't believe all that the prophets of doom say nor all the court prophets tell you. This day is essential. And it will provide opportunity to those ready to take it.

In the last times like this, great and powerful businesses were born, launched and made many great worldly wealth. That time is now again. The world has no hope. It cannot succeed because the fathers of lies has convinced them they must fail. The father of lies is holding out a system that says in essence, trusting God is of no value, trust in government, the economy, self reliance, capitalism, socialism or any kind of godless ism. Do not believe them. Receive this lie and it will put you in chains.

There are clever business deceivers. Be aware. Be on guard. Even this year you will be approached by some. It will be appealing, but there will be a warning sign. Learn to hear the voice of Peace and Joy. Do nothing out of fear. Fear caused Peter to deny. Fear caused most of the disciples to hide. Fear will keep you from your destiny. You were created to reign, in business. In life.

Take your place. See yourself as ones who stands above the marketplace. Step into the anointing I have called you to. You will know it when it comes. I am here to reign thru you as My Kingdom comes.

Government
Excessive trust in man's schemes to solve all problems thru government is the source of all kinds of evil. It will place unrighteous people in positions of power over you to which you were never meant to become submitted. Unrighteous power acquisition in government is a sin that permeates fallen man's governmental efforts.

You were never destined to be a democracy or to live under the heel of government. You were designed by ME, you were destined to be subject to a King. He is the one you long for. But you substitute seeking my Kingship in your life by seeking Governmental solutions. You substitute your longing for the true King of King and Lord of Lords by electing people and parties that ultimately will oppress you or mislead you. Your mixture of faith in ME and your faith in Government is a mixture I cannot stand. I will have no other Gods in your life. Therefore whatever you put up before me, I will tear down. I am about to tear down and expose the failures of government. To put them in the proper place in your life.

You have seen bubbles. Bubbles of Technology, Bubbles of Real Estate and Bubbles of the Markets in recent years. Each have fallen to earth. Trusting them has become a snare for many. It has been costly. Painful.

There is another bubble about to deflate. The bubble of government. I will not allow governments or people in power to take ME off the throne. I will have dominion even if they deny me. Certainly, for a short time, dominion may be denied, but You are my hands, my feet, my authority. Exercise it. Encourage righteous in a pure sense and help them but do not depend on them. Do not be disappointed when they fail. They most certainly will. Even the one after My own heart failed. All fall and all are short of the Glory I Possess.

Prepare for what will happen as government gods fall. It will appear to be disastrous, but it is be part of my plan for the Kingdom to come. Have no fear, I am kicking every artificial props that were of no real value to you. I am your all in all. ALL.


Believers and the Church
You have felt you were in a transition time, you are. This is a reset. Redo. Restart. What you once believed about the future has become a distant memory. Fear not. It's all of me. I am doing the new thing you have proclaimed for years.

Old things are indeed passing away. Your flesh longs for the familiar, the easy, the old. None of that can prosper as my Spirit renews the manifestation of the saints on the earth...my BODY.

This is a time when what seemed so new and fresh thirty years ago seems to have gone stale. Don't reach back to that time. It is yesterday. Some have even made an image of that time in their hearts. Graven. False. I will throw down those images.

I am jealous My Names Sake. You represent MY NAME on the earth. I will have a pure and spotless representation of ME. The false and wrong representations I will tear down. It represents something that comes between you and ME. She must be without wrinkles. She is NOT YET... but WILL BE. That will mean change. The Church WILL CHANGE. Many will disappear. Close down. True Shepherds will emerge. False hirelings will fall away. It is my plan of purity.

If you feel that everything you Thought you knew has been upended... it has. The waiting white field ready for harvest has not been harvested by the harvesters of the past. This will take a brand new harvester to accomplish.

As this comes, there will become the great divide between those who depend on the days of old and the traditions of man to bring in the great harvest and those who depend on the laborers called of me. This division is of me. False unity was never my intention for my body. She will not be schizophrenic.

I know the leaders I can depend on. I also know those trapped in the snare of Man Pleasing. I can not ever really use or trust a man trapped in that snare. The enemy of your souls will use every deception to keep you from me as a Body. Do not let it happen. Press into me.

You will need to trust me even more than you have, you will need to have even more faith than in the past. This is a season of knowing i am your source and sole provision. Anything other than faith in me alone will be empty. If you believe the world you will suffer again and again from dashed hopes and broken promises. Receive a lie and it will put you in chains.

Learn to hear my voice. I am Speaking. Listen. I will never ever leave or forsake you. Develop an awareness of My hand in your life. This is a time when I am reaching in and removing everything that is NOT of ME. Your heart will be revealed as pressures increase. That has always been my intention. A pure heart in you.

Return to ME and I will bind you up where I have wounded you. That's a promise for 2010.


Entertainment, Media, Sports
Pleasure and entertainment are not in and of themselves evil. I created them. The song. The dance. The Word spoken. The race of sports. Even relationships between a man and a woman are of me. Those things written and shown that magnify them in Glory are rooted from MY Spirit. All are sourced from me.

But, many have made pursuit of entertainment, media, movies and sports a god unto themselves. Sports have become a substitute for my word. Movies and Television are pipelines for lies about the world I created. Entertainment has become a diversion and even a perversion that keeps people from true intimacy with ME. Or even with each other.

I will tear down those things not of me. I have in the past used humiliation and accusation to destroy publicly those held in high esteem by the world. Even in the past year. The past month. No man can be god and the godlike attributions given to many great sports heroes has caused MY jealous judgment to be released.

I will judge and remove anything you hold above ME. There is much good that can be done for the Kingdom using media and sports. It is my intention to do that. I will not allow anything to stand that is dishonorable. I will honor those who honor ME.

Some were destined to take dominion in the arenas of Sports, Entertainment and Media to demonstrate the goodness of my mercy and kingship. If you are called to be that person MY anointing for you is there for the asking.

There is deception you will encounter. You might even begin to believe the things the world says about you. Don't believe them. If you receive the lie it will put you in chains. I made you. Every breath you take is of me. Only by my grace can you take another. Take your place and remember the God of your youth. I am HE.


Education
The shift has begun. For a long time I have been exposing weakness and danger of empty education without understanding. Now that process is accelerating. The discredit of public education will increase. As the government bubble is deflated, so will the educational bubble be. It must be. This original admonition in training up a child was for developing skills to make a life and understand My word. Now it has become a method used of your enemy to indoctrinate the young in false religion and lies.

I will not allow this to stand. While it will not fall in this year, it will fall and when it does, mighty will be the fall of it. Many will mourn. But the Righteous will rejoice that once more TRUTH will be taught. Honor to those who should be honored. Dishonor to the dishonorable.

The schemes of the enemy hidden just below the surface in Educational systems will be exposed. I will use people to bring justice to the earth by establishing MY Kingdom, I must have them trained in the fear and admonition of ME.

I will have NO OTHER GOD'S BEFORE ME...NONE.


Global Change
There is a global change underway. It's rapid. It will mean that in a generation much of what you thought would never change will be remade. In a moment. Like the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Persia will be restored. China will continue to prosper and China will be Mine. Korea must become ONE...the prayers of the Saints are heard at MY throne. Small fires of My Spirit will break out in Europe starting in England and in the former Eastern European countries. The conflicts with Islam will become greater, But fear not, Islam is failing....from within. It's a supernatural work. I am showing Myself to every one of them. Jesus is Truth, Islam is a lie.

Africa has a mighty destiny in me, but her time is not yet. Many hearts of many men wicked and must be made right before restoration can come. South America will rise. Brazil, Argentina, Chile and others will find new places of authority. My Kingdom has been established there and will be made manifest. Mexico is being weighed in the balance. American will play a necessary role in restoring the corrupted broken system to some basis in hope. It will look like unity, but it will be distinct.

There is a shift that is to come. Truth about the political and spiritual vacuum Will become evident and things will change. I am exposing hypocrisy and evil at every level. As people become more and more aware of Truth, more and more are set free. Freedom is not a movement, freedom is Truth. Many people thought freedom was political power. True freedom starts when the spirit in a man or woman is set alive by MY Spirit.

I AM. There is no God but Jehovah. That will become evident and every knee will bow. And it will cause Global Change.


Geophysical Change
The shakings and upheavals will continue. Don't be surprised by anything that happens. I am using them to bring people to Me. Pay little attention to the predictions of Man. When it comes to weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods and droughts never forget. I am the GOD of all things, even the weather.

I use the weather to humble the arrogant. I created all things and all things hold together in me. Do not call what I created for good, evil. Carbon Dioxide is not poison. It's part of my purpose in life.

I can change a nation in Moment. Sometimes I use events to accomplish my purposes. Five years ago I changed Indonesia. I will do what I will do. It's not anger, it's not always even judgement. It's creating a way for those who have lost sight of who I AM to discover ME. Watch for the fruit of what I am doing.

Things will intensify. Signs in the sky. A double full Moon in a single month is a sign. Change is coming and you will see it everywhere. Fear not. It has always been so. Have faith in Me. I am the God that heals you. Makes you whole and preserves you in the pestilence, flood and famine.

After three days, I will send healing rain. Sweet rain. Expect a rain (reign) of mercy. It's on the way.

Leader Changes
Many see changes that have just passed and wonder of the future. Your confidence must never be in any man. I provide leaders by My Spirit. I put one up and take another down. The torch is passed one generation to another.

Many will pass from the scene and there is little to remember them by in a hundred years. Some in a thousand and some forever. But, I ALONE am the eternal God. Remember ME.

The passing of spiritual leaders will continue. I am raising up others to take their place. They are prepared. If you are called on to lead, do so understanding the ones who went before were not perfect. They were human. If they said they were without sin they would have lived in self deception. I use the most flawed and broken to confound the wise. That's why I can use YOU.

There are political figures who seem to be permanent in our eyes who will pass from the scene. Their influence will be gone. I allowed them a time of rule to demonstrate truth in contrast of righteous and unrighteous government. Seek ME and I will remove the unrighteous from your necks.

I will call some of you to step into those places. Obedience will be better than sacrifice. If I call, your answer must be YES.

There is a darkness in leadership that will yet be exposed. It will cause many to become discouraged. Do not be so. Even Kings and Priests I used to accomplish my purposes on the earth were gravely flawed. It has always been so. As the darkness is exposed see it for a cleansing and a warning. It will cause leaders hearts to turn to ME.

Some who have been rejected by the world will arise. My destiny is on them. They will shock the world and the wisdom the world values by their sudden rise.

When departures happen, do not mourn, look to me. When new arrivals come on the scene, look for ME in their new position.

Many schemes designed to control you will fail. The potential of the enemy just outside your gate was to help you come to understand who I am as you seek to have victory.

I am King of Kings, Leader of Leaders, Lord of Lords. There is no one but ME. I use even the pagan and evil to blow a wind of warning by you. It is meant to help you cling to me in the storm.

A year from now you will look back and see how I have provided for you. You have been made whole in ME. The world will look different. Leaders will be different. Situations will have changed. It will be the whole new beginning and you will see clearly the task before you.

This is a year when you will begin to see clearly what is about to happen. I am giving you new instruction and new direction and new leadership.

They will help you hear the true voice...."this is the way, Walk Ye In It".


FEAR

There is a primary tool the enemy uses to keep you in chains....Fear. Fear is a lie. You have nothing to fear except he who can destroy your eternal soul. Death is not a fearful thing. Those who have seen the waiting Glory never want to come back. When the fear and sting of death is conquered you will fear little else.

As the news, the talk shows, the Internet, friends, news articles, gossip and a hundred other influences propagate and perpetuate myths and fears, MY WORD TO YOU IS AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN....FEAR NOT! Have faith in GOD. Have the Faith OF GOD.

Perfect Love long ago cast fear out. You have to work hard to get fear back.

There are workers of terror on the earth. The Islamic fear machine uses fear to direct and control. Only courage born of ME will carry you thru as the fear efforts arise.

Much of what you see and hear is a tool of the enemy to provide you good reasons to be afraid. FEAR NOT.

Be aware. Be prepared. Be ready. Be confident in ME. There is no other one but ME. Be sure of that truth.

It is well to be concerned for the future, for your family, for your health, for your finances. All of them are common to all men. When I walked the earth, I wondered after these things just as you do. However, do not allow the storms to come to strike fear in your hearts. I AM MASTER OVER THE STORM.

Trust fully in ME and you will find all fear cast out by perfect love.

The Family Relationship
You will find yourself asking the question I asked... "who is my mother, who are my brothers and sisters". Family Relationships are formed in more than one way, some are of the flesh, some are of the Spirit.

Treasure them both. They matter. They are all of the Blood.

During this year family relationships will be tested, some broken then restored and ultimately strengthened. Have faith in ME.

A new healthy understanding of who you are in ME will result. Your position in ME will not change even when sometimes positionally you feel less or more in "Family". I change not.

As you keep your eyes on ME some of your relationships to others will heal and grow stronger. I am your Head. I want to show myself strong in your covenant relationships. Not just in marriage, even if that is a clear example of My Church and ME. But in ALL relationships. My intention is to do you good, to see you reach the greatness in your destiny, to help you become closer and closer to Me, and to develop wholeness in your relationships with one another and with ME.

Do not fear or be distressed when some family relationships seem to suffer because of who you have become. I will draw men to ME as you hold ME up in your life. You will NOT be drawn into who they are. One must increase, the other must decrease.

It will seem like division, split, even warfare sometimes. I will provide a safe place in relationships to bridge to the perfection I intend for you and yours.

Perfect LOVE casts out all kinds of fears. I am your perfection in relationship, I will NEVER leave you nor will I ever ever forsake you.


Word of the Lord for the Decade to Come
There will be more change in this decade then you ever imagined. Restoration of many things. Tearing down of others. Seeming disasters beyond understanding. Amazing miracles. Discoveries. Peace. War. Resolution. Birth. Death. Pain. Joy. Challenges to everything you believe. Then affirmation of that Faith you hold so dear. You will be refined as by fire.

And it has ever been thus. And will be. The end of 2010 will be the beginning of these things.

Remember this; I am the God that changes NOT. When someone says to you, everything has changed, I am the unchangeable one.

I am KING of Kings. You will understand that more as the years move. My Kingdom is coming to earth.

You will find peace. It's not external. It's in YOU. My Dominion starts in your heart. I must have reign there first. Then you can spread that reign to others around you.

Then My Kingdom will come on earth as it is in Heaven.

Selah

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 2010 - Symon Kariuki

“I am the Lord and that is My name. I will be exalted in the nations of the world and My name shall be known in all corners of the earth. Let no one think that there is one Who is greater! For My Throne is established in the heavens and the earth is My footstool.

In 2010, I will make My purposes known to as many as are willing to put their ears to the ground and listen to the whispers of My voice. In My whisper, I will thunder My purposes and agenda for the end-time harvest. In the secret places of My habitation, I will speak to My bride. For I have desired to speak My heart to the one I love and have sacrificed for.

Arise Daughter of Zion and come to the chamber of My presence. Move from the crowd to the secret place of My habitation for I have desired to have you to Myself. My longing for you is much more than you can imagine and yet your love for Me is divided.

In 2010, I will display My love, mercy and power to My people in unprecedented ways.  I will fulfill My Word that I have spoken in regard to individuals, the Church and the nations of the world.  I will hasten to perform My Word.

 It will also be the year of judgment and dethroning those that have ignored My beckoning to do My will. My hand will be manifest in all these acts of display that will be shown to humanity. It will be evident that I am interfering with the affairs of men for I am still in control of the heavens and earth.

I am calling the continent of Africa to call upon Me, to worship Me and turn from all wickedness. My heart and desire is to use this continent in ways that I have never used in any other continent. The things that I have in mind, the people of Africa cannot fathom. For these things are in the secret places of My counsel. Only I know how I desire to bless and exalt this continent. If only the people of the land can align themselves and position themselves for this end-time outpouring of My Spirit.

The sparks of My glory and revival fire will start in Africa and will be seen in all the nations of the world. The intensity of what I want to do will be so great and electrifying that all will acknowledge that I am the only God.

I will strike those that work wickedness in the nation of South Africa if they do not repent. I will bear no more with those that frustrate My purposes in the nation. Even those that are hibernating in the Churches I will expose and strike if they do not repent.

2010 in South Africa is the year I desire the people to turn to me with all their hearts for I desire to do a mighty work in the nation. This is My gate and I desire to reveal My supreme counsel, eternal  government  and omnipotent kingdom to this land. I am looking for vessels of honor I can use to display Myself to the nation. These vessels need to consecrate themselves for I am a Holy God. These vessels will be required to speak My oracles and prophetic declarations without fear or favor. For I will clothe them with My authority and anyone that dares to challenge them, will be strike with heavenly elements.

I will draw the attention of the nations of the world to South Africa so that I can touch these nations”.

"CHANGES IN THE NEW YEAR" - Stephen Hanson

Jan. 2, 2010



18 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you
not perceive it?I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland. Is. 43


"Watch and wait, says the Lord. For this is the year of many
changes.  For there is a stirring in the heavens. There is a
stirring and an anticipation as you look out upon the horizon.
For the horizon stretches out to meet you in this new year.
What do you look for in it, says the Lord?  Leave the old and
embrace the new.  Look forward with anticipation those things
that I will be bringing into your lives.

There will be a change in many churches as well, says the
Lord.  For the old wine skin needs to be replaced by the new.
Look at the structure and see what could be changed.

It is time for Lazarus to come forth from his grave.  For there
are many things that have laid hidden.  There are many
things that I want to resurrect in your lives.  There are many
dreams that have been left unfulfilled.

But there will also be changes in the natural as well. Catastrophic
events will increase.  The very earth will crumble where it has
not crumbled before. For the birth pangs will increase. "

Prophetic Exhortation for 2010 - Jay West
 
Here are some thoughts that I believe God has been giving to me over the past few days - I pray that they are an encouragement to you as you begin this new year.  And if I have missed it here, or appear to be off the edge in some way, please forgive me and forgive the intrusion into your life - my goal is to see the Kingdom advance and proclaim what I sense may be coming and happening.
 
I believe that we will see strong evidences of transformation in our nation rather than hearing about it elsewhere. I believe that many believers will experience great expansion of Kingdom productivity in their spheres of influence.  I remain optimistic that we are Kingdom people and that this is not our recession. Stay very connected and close to God the whole year, and especially the first 21 days of January.
 
Transformation will become very real to people who move from using it as a buzz word and begin to apply biblical principles with it as an extension of Kingdom activity.  As we seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness, your personal influence will grow rapidly and you will be amazed at how many are drawn to you and your ministry.  As a result, new converts will be born, disciples will be trained, and power will be displayed in more and more unusual places and locations. 
 
Displaying and Experiencing the power of God will become the norm in the marketplace and business sector of society.  Youth and students will especially gravitate towards the presence of God, as Godliness and transformational vision is extended in public, private and even home school settings.  And there will be some revival at the college level as well.   But righteousness must be the priority and have the higher calling.  Amos 5:4 - "For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, Seek Me and live."  Isaiah 54:14 - "In righteousness you shall be established, you shall be far from oppression for you shall not fear; and far from terror, for it shall not come near you."
 
Again, I remain optimistic that as we live and respond as Kingdom people, that this is not nor will it ever be our recession.  There is no recession in Heaven, so we declare, no recession on earth, and we agree with the Word of God that says, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done - on earth as it already is in Heaven.   Be ready to bless and encourage as God prompts you and I believe you will have more than enough.  The prefix "re" means to go back and "cession" means to surrender.  Do not go back to a former way, a former religious method or to the world's ways, but rather go forward.  No man having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of Heaven.  So choose intercession.  The prefix "inter" means to go forward, or into - and again cession means to surrender - so go forward into God, into HIs Kingdom and surrender to Him.  Move from recession to intercession.
 
Begin preparing now to sing and make melody in your heart to the Lord for His goodness.  Singing into your barrenness will produce Godly fruit and bear witness to the power of the Holy Spirit.  (Isaiah 54:1) This singing will also produce fruits of repentance in others as they see you praising God while they in turn seem to be running to every media outlet they can find, yet not finding the help and assistance that they are seeking.  God will be lifted up in your singing and worship, and He will draw many people to Himself in the process.  "Psalm 32:7 - "You are my hiding place, You shall preserve me from trouble.  You shall surround me with songs of deliverance."
 
Sing with understanding, but also sing in the Spirit - and as you do, faith will rise in your life, your perspective will change, and light will shine in areas of your own lives that will amaze you as you download specific instructions from the Lord which will bless and enrich yourselves, along with providing the needs of others, with enough leftovers for others to see and marvel at.  You will walk in divine light while others who do not enter in to the presence of God will grope in darkness, although they will think that they are walking in light, their perspective will change and many will come to you seeking how to recognize the true light, and how they can gain access to the light that you possess.  For some, the ministry that you have been seeking will be birthed as you sing into that barrenness believing for it to come to pass.
 
Many of the people you have been praying for and hoping would change their habits, and patterns will begin to come to you and ask for direction and specific inquiries as to how they too can walk in the same confidence, assurance and peace that you regularly enjoy.  Peace will become a sought out for commodity that Kingdom folks will be able to offer through the anointing of prayer and the spoken decreed word of God.  Psalm 32:6 - "For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You, in a time when You may be found."
 
Psalm 32:10 - "Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trust in the Lord, mercy shall surround him." I also believe sickness will afflict many ungodly people especially those in higher places of authority - and initially you will see this and wonder what is going to happen, but as it happens to more and more, you will begin to actually see that you are protected and that God is using you to assist others who are in a panic, but again, the peace of God will prevail in your life, but I stress again, you must remain close to the Lord, be in tune to what He is saying, and be ready to move here and then there to accomplish his plans.  His agenda must be the priority.  Zephaniah 2:11 -  "The Lord will be awesome to them, for He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth.  People shall worship Him, each one from his place, indeed all the shores of the nations."
 
Stocks are going to tumble again, but do not be alarmed as this too is a part of the plan to draw more people to the Lord.  A well known politician or celebrity will suddenly die in a freak accident within the first few months of 2010 and there will be storms in the land during the weekend of the Super Bowl.  You who believe must pray that night rather than be totally glued to your television sets.  Nahum 1:7 - "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble and He knows those who trust in Him."
 
I do believe that the first 21 days of the new year need to be devoted to intercession and prayer - - Colossians 4:2-3 "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving, meanwhile praying also for us that God would open to us a door for the Word, to be proclaimed..."  During this time, and through prayer, please include the interests and benefits of others, rather than focusing on your own needs - (Phil 2:3-5)  and practice Matthew 6:20 of laying up treasures in heaven as well. 
 
In conclusion - This is a great season of anticipation, proclamation and manifestation.  The presence of the Lord is descending to those who are ascending with prayer, Kingdom priorities and righteousness as a priority.  This is a great day to be alive in the Kingdom and an even greater opportunity to see His Kingdom advance.  But remember to walk by faith and not by sight.  Don't let the sight of problems, evil, difficulties and potential obstacles slow you down or cause you to have your own personal recession - rather, continue to proclaim, believe and practice the Kingdom and all of what you need and more will be added to you.  Because He is able to do exceedinly abundantly and beyond all that you are asking or seeking. 
 
 
 
Sincerely and Warmly,
 
Jay W. West

Show Us Your Glory! A Word of Encouragement for 2010
 
Sandie Freed
 
Sandie Freed

Believers,

I wanted to write and encourage you! The year of 2009 has been a year of much shifting, changing and rearranging. However, it is important to move forward into 2010 with a great expectation. Knowing that God Himself was in the shaking and shifting of our last season will empower you rather than cause discouragement. Discouragement will steal courage for the season ahead. It is very important to shift into 2010 with courage and godly anticipation for a divine visitation. God desires to show us His glory; however, as He passes by, we must believe He is doing all He promised even when we can't actually see it in the natural. We must develop greater faith to see with spiritual eyes in the year ahead.

A Season of Divine Measurement

In 2006, I heard from the Lord that 2010 would be a year of a completed "measuring." The term "measure" is important to God. You will notice that in Scripture the term "measure" is often used. Just to name a few, Psalm 39:4 states that God "measures our days" (AMP). When planning the temple, it was important that the curtains "measured" the same (see Exodus 26:2,8). Several chapters in Ezekiel speak about the "measuring" of the temple. Interestingly, one of the words deriving from the word "measure" is the word "stretched"! As God measures us, He is also checking to see if we have endured the stretching process! I believe we did!

In 2006, I prophetically saw God measuring us for the next four years and that it would be a type of testing for a shifting into our next season, beginning in 2010. The number 10 often speaks prophetically concerning a divine measuring. Think of the number of years that Israel wandered in the wilderness—40 years—which is 4 times 10. Four is a number that represents things in the natural—such as the four seasons, the earthly realm, four directions (North, South, East and West), etc.

In this type of thinking, we depend upon the natural eye. However, our enemy would cause us to focus on what occurs in the natural. This would link us to the past and to the occult if we are not careful. Remember, the occult attempts to keep revelation hidden so that we cannot see. Revelation exposes what is hidden—so you need to understand the war between the occult and revelation. In other words, keep pressing for revelation, which is the ability to see in the supernatural—like peeking into Heaven!

But thinking along the lines of "divine measurement" (again, multiplying 4 with the number 10), let us be reminded of how often the "natural circumstances" affected Israel's faith while they were being tested in the wilderness. At each wilderness stop, their faith was challenged and God was measuring their trust and obedience. Obviously, we can certainly learn from Israel's mistakes in the wilderness and, therefore, become determined to shift into our new season with greater faith, right? I don't know about you, but I feel that God has used 2009 as a type of plumb line in my life. I pray I passed the test!

Know that the enemy would desire to discourage you during such uncertain times and cause you to walk in confusion. While God is measuring us to determine levels of increase, the enemy seeks to kill, steal and destroy. Let's be alert in this next year and become more determined than ever before to run the race that has been set before us.

We are Like Moses Asking God to Show Us His Glory!

A few nights ago, I met with a group of ladies at an annual gathering of many women connected to Zion Ministries in the Bedford, Texas area, as well as some guests, and I heard a word of encouragement for them. I want to share this with all of you because it was a corporate word to the entire Body of Christ. The Lord told me that many of us have been similar to Moses, being asked to move forward into unknown territory. Again, when we venture into the unknown, we are uncomfortable because we can't fully see our future—therefore we must trust God and develop supernatural eyesight.

I'm sure you remember the story. Moses had presented some "needs" to God and needed to know that God was going to be with him as he led God's people. Moses told God he would continue to lead, but he needed someone to go with him. In other words, before stepping out, Moses needed some type of confirmation. So, Moses asked for God's presence to go with him. The Scripture quote from Exodus 33:15, 16 defines Moses' concern: "If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that You are pleased with me and with Your people unless You go with us? What else will distinguish me and Your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"

As I was studying to present this article to you, I thought about the Ark of God: the Presence of God that was in the wilderness for a season. In my book, http://www.elijahshopper.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode= BK-SF006 - Conquering the Antichrist Spirit , I go to great lengths to discuss why the presence of God had not manifested in Israel. There were many different wilderness "stops" that Israel made, but many don't realize that the Ark had its own wilderness. I encourage you to consider ordering this book if you feel as if God's presence is not manifesting in your life. We need God's presence in this next year as never before.

The dark is becoming darker and we must be a brighter light. Jesus is the Light of the world, so in order to arise and shine, we must look into the face of Christ and be determined to be a reflection of His Glory. Jesus said if we have seen Him, then we have seen the Father. Though Father God told Moses that he could not see His face, we can rest assured that we can see Father's face if we look into the face of Christ! What an awesome thought!

The Lord heard the cry of Moses and said that He would give Him the direction needed. God replied to Moses by saying, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name" (Exodus 33:17).

What an awesome reply from the Lord! God affirmed that He would do what Moses needed. Believers, don't allow discouragement to come right now during such uncertain times. God has promised you that He will fulfill what He declares! It's time to get out some of those prophecies you have placed on shelves, or find that journal where you documented God's promises and begin to declare, out loud, what God has spoken concerning your future.

The enemy has attempted to steal your vision; he does not want you to see! You must look once more at what God has promised, stand on His promises and see your future. You may be in the midst of a shaking, but you're not being shaken out of your destiny...God won't allow it!

Let's look at Moses' next response:

Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."—Exodus 33:18

Wow! Don't you want to see God's glory, also? I know I sure do. But, look what God's reply was to Moses:

And the LORD said, "I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But," He said, "you cannot see My face, for no one may see Me and live."—Exodus 33:19-20

Now, let's pull aside and look at what is occurring. God is going in front of Moses...to His future. God is clearing the pathway for Moses' destiny with a manifestation of His glory. But, dear ones, you need to get this part; God said that Moses would not "see His face" when He passed by him. What we will witness is His glory passing by and then see His back after He has finished making a straight path for us to follow. Oh, how I pray I can convey this by mere words. I am trusting the Holy Spirit to take over here... Look at verse 21:

Then the LORD said, "There is a place near Me where you may stand on a rock. When My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove My hand and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen."—Exodus 33:21-23 (my emphasis added)

Beloved, there are times when we cannot see God coming! Yet we must believe and trust the fact that He is still moving toward fulfilling what He promised. We may not see it happening in the natural, but when His glory passes by we know it because we experience visitations through His Word, prophetic messages, Bible studies, etc. Let's not maintain a mindset concerning how God visits us, okay? If we can do that, we're ready for Him to visit us in a fresh way.

That Was God

Now, let's fast forward a little to the New Testament. Jesus is the Rock, right? Also, God says that we are "hidden in Christ." Therefore when His glory passes by, we must be hidden in Jesus, and standing on the Rock! We will witness the glory if we are standing on the Rock. We may not get "goose bumps" during a visitation, but if we remain connected in Christ—well, a visitation is guaranteed! Believers, our ground in the natural is very shaky. Unless we are truly standing on the Rock, we will tilt and maybe even miss the time of His visitation to us! If you are struggling, then it's time to hide in Christ. Find Jesus in this season and renew your relationship with the King of Kings. You will experience peace, satisfaction and fulfillment in Him.

Now, back to Moses. As God's glory passed by Moses, he was able to see His back. I believe that we may not always see God coming, but we know and trust that He is and that He is faithful to intervene in our circumstances. We will experience His glory because He promises to pass by. Also, when He passes by and has cleared a straight path for our future, we can look at His back and then say, "That was God who just passed me by!"

Have you ever been in a situation when you weren't certain that what was occurring was God until it was over? And then you found yourself saying, "That was God." This is because it already happened; you used hindsight, but all along God was coming, His presence manifested in your situation, and you didn't realize it until it was over!

There are many different ways to describe this passage. Theologians believe that this is how God revealed the "past" to Moses and empowered him to write the first five books of Scripture. But for me, now, today, this speaks to me differently. I have cried out, God, I need to know that as I move forward Your presence is with me. He is saying that, As long as you all are still trusting and believing in Me, then I'm still moving to accomplish what I have promised.

Dear ones, don't be discouraged any longer. God is moving on your behalf! We may not see breakthrough in the natural, but if you will allow the Holy Spirit to touch your eyes, He will give you supernatural eyesight for your future. We are overcomers. Be encouraged. You WILL break out of old cycles in your new season.

Allow me to pray for you: Father God, You know all things. You alone are God. You say that You are not a God that would lie, and that what You have promised, You will fulfill. We are crying out for Your glory. Today we are determined to become hidden in Christ. We will firmly stand upon the Rock and trust You. We realize that when things are dark it may be a time when we are hidden in Jesus. Empower us to see with spiritual eyes, and understand with supernatural understanding, and realize that You are moving forward into our future and creating straight paths into victory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Have a glorious 2010!

As always, love and blessings,

2010: Be Fruitful and Multiply
 
Patricia King
 

I always understood that in the Lord we were destined for increase, but it never dawned on me until recent years that we were destined for multiplication—not just addition. The Lord challenged me in prayer one day to expect multiplication in fruitfulness. The lowest level of multiplication is double. Image yourself doubled in fruitfulness right now. What does that look like to you?

In Genesis 1:28, the Lord blessed humankind and made the following command: "Be fruitful and multiply." You have the Word of the Lord over your life to be fruitful and to multiply in that fruitfulness. When you agree to come into this blessing, you are actually obeying God's commanded purpose for your life.

In Deuteronomy 1:11, Moses prayed for the people of Israel to increase a thousand times more than they were. I think "a thousand times" increase of God's goodness in life is a wonderful thought to ponder and embrace.

The Lord showed me some "keys to fruitfulness" which I share below: Abiding, Pruning, and Sowing and Reaping.

Abiding

Jesus taught us the keys for living in this level of blessing and multiplication—abiding, pruning, and sowing and reaping. Our fruitfulness comes through abiding in Him (see John 15:1-8). When we are born again, Christ's Spirit comes inside us and makes us a brand new creation. We also come inside of Him. We are "in Christ" when we are born again. He abides in us and we abide in Him.

You can experience and activate the abiding presence of Jesus by intentionally acknowledging Him in your devotion times. You empower what you focus on. If you focus on Christ's presence within, then you will empower His life in you. You cannot bear fruit on your own. Your fruitfulness as a branch comes from abiding in the vine. Jesus is the vine. His life flows into you like sap does in a tree or like blood does in the circulation system of the body. He is your life!

I like to take time in my devotions to acknowledge Jesus. I simply close my eyes and thank Him for all He is to me. I make decrees of truth like, "Jesus, I am in You. You are my life. You are my strength. You are my health and my vitality. You are my wisdom and my sanctification. You are my righteousness and my provision, etc."

After meditating on Christ's life within me for five minutes or so, I begin to feel the empowerment of His presence. I then enter into deeper fellowship with Him. I share my heart and my needs. I wait on Him and listen for Him to speak. I listen for Him to share His heart and desires. I make inquiry of Him and journal what I believe He is speaking to my heart.

Jesus promised in John 15:7 that if I abide in Him and His words (the words I receive in His presence) abide in me, then I can ask what I wish (according to what He has spoken) and it shall be done for me. This is how fruit is created. Fruitfulness and increase are birthed out of abiding in Christ.

Pruning

Increase also comes through pruning seasons in our life. Jesus said that every branch in Him that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit (see John 15:2). It is good to invite the Lord to prune us when needed in order to bear more fruit. Pruning often deals with alignments to His purposes for a particular season. He calls for fresh consecration, and sometimes downsizing and streamlining. We downsize and streamline not out of fear but in faith and obedience, knowing that the pruning does not decrease us in fruitfulness, but ultimately brings great increase and oftentimes invites us to engage in new assignments.

We had a tree in front of our ministry center that my husband, Ron, would prune once every year. I drove up to the center one day shocked to find that the tree had been pruned down to a mere stump with a few fully pruned branches sticking out of it. I was horrified and absolutely convinced that he had killed the tree. The tree was pathetic looking. It was over-pruned…or so I thought. Ron tried to convince me that it would be fine, but I struggled to believe his confident report. How could it possibly grow back when it had been pruned to a mere stump? Sure enough though, in a few months, the tree grew back in fullness. The foliage was rich and luscious—absolutely stunning—and many remarked on its beauty.

Sowing and Reaping

Another key to fruitfulness is found in the sowing and reaping law of the Kingdom. In Genesis 8:22, God makes a perpetual promise to humankind. He said, "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest…shall not cease." Well, the earth still remains. That means that there is a time to sow seed and a time to reap a corresponding harvest.

Jesus taught about sowing and reaping in Mark 4, and emphasized the type of soil you sow into. If you sow a seed into good and worthy ground, it will grow and multiply. The fruit is always more than the seed, and within the fruit are many more seeds. If you plant one bean seed, you will reap a bean plant that has many beans on it. You always reap more than you sow. If you then took one of the beans on that plant and sowed the seeds that were in it, you would reap many more bean plants the next season.

When you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly and when you sow bountifully, you reap bountifully (see 2 Corinthians 9:6). If you desire fruitfulness and multiplication to be activated in your life, you need to give the Lord something to work with. You need to sow seed according to what you desire to harvest. If you desire an increase of friends, then sow friendship. If you desire to increase in healing anointing, then go sow healing prayer and ministry into the sick. If you desire to reap a bountiful harvest of finances, then sow financial seed into good Kingdom soil.

Isaac sowed in a time of famine, and he reaped a hundredfold in that very year (see Genesis 26:12). No matter what is happening in the world around us, we can sow into the good ground of His faithful promises and reap abundantly. We do not live by the world's systems or ways. We live in the Kingdom.

The Multiplication Factor

If the Word says we are to multiply, then we will. We can appropriate every promise of the Lord by faith. If you want to multiply, then receive multiplication by faith. Expect multiplication. Your seed and your fruit will multiply.

Are your seed and fruit bad, good, or mixed? It is important to purge your life from anything that is not in line with God's Kingdom values. For example, if you were given over to the sin of gossip, you would want to pray for a crop failure and not multiplication. It is vital in these days to live with clean hands and a pure heart. Repent from all sin. Allow the conviction of the Spirit to minister deeply into your heart. Sow good, holy seeds and produce good, holy fruit.

You are called to be fruitful and multiply. This is the truth! You will not decrease in this hour. You will increase in every good thing if you sow holy seed and remain in faith. Stay focused!

A Word From the Heart of Jesus For You—
Be Fruitful and Multiply!

"This is both a sowing season and a reaping season for you. You will reap what you sowed in days gone by, and you will sow into the days to come. My promises are true and if you believe My word with unhindered faith and allow My word to be seeded in your heart, you will surely be fruitful and multiply. You will see the manifestation of My goodness and it will be much greater than anything you can imagine.

"Fill your heart and mind with My promises. Meditate on My promises day and night. Sow the Word of My promises through decrees made in faith. You will reap abundantly what you sow.

"You are called to fruitfulness in all things. When you abide in Me, you will experience fruitful life. You will not encounter dry seasons, for your roots are planted by rivers of living water. There is no such thing as a dry season in Heaven. There is no such thing as an unfruitful season in Heaven. Every month the trees bear their fruit in My glory realm. Even so, you will bear fruit continually as you abide in Me.

"Even as I prune your life, you will still bear fruit. I take My pruning shears to your branches and remove anything that would hinder continued growth. You will then experience accelerated fruitfulness in My goodness.

"Trust Me in all things right now. In the world there is tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. Many will suffer the loss of all things. But for you who trust Me with all your heart, even what might look like a loss will turn into unexpected blessing and increase.

"You will be fruitful in everything you put your hands to as you abide in Me. You will multiply in every good thing as you obey Me. You were created for this purpose. Be fruitful and multiply!"

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying: “This is the year to hang on My every word. I am going to honor and perform My word right in front of your eyes. Many have been weary in the waiting and they have tried to help Me but today I say: Take your hands off; I hold this moment in the palm of My hands. I have been bringing you to a place of full dependence on Me. My strength is made perfect in your weakness and I have now positioned you in the place where I can show Myself strong and mighty. Surely the hour has come where some would say: “It is too late and how could this be…”, but I say watch me turn things around and bring you to the place of fulfillment and completion. I have not forgotten you or forsaken you. I have not switched plans nor has my will flip-flopped. I am awakening you to a new season of wonder and I am removing the scales off of your eyes that have not allowed you to see how far I have brought you already and how truly close you are to the place of promise.”

“Step out of your comfort zones, you must not remain comfortable with the way things were, are, or always have been. I am doing a New thing that requires you to think, act, and respond in a new way. Shake off the dust of yesterday, and close the door to the past. I am breaking off the chains that bind and I am removing every excuse for not moving ahead. It is time for my people to make a clean get away from yesterday. Do not ponder it or hide from it any longer. This is a season of exposure for my people. I am sweeping out the corners and closets and calling you to a new place of purity, honor and holiness. “

“Listen to Me. Hear My voice. Get rid of the spiritual static and cast out the conflicting opinions that have caused some of you to doubt what I have said. Do not be double-minded. I am looking for a single minded people who can discern their time and season in the earth. I am calling forth those who will be willing to hear My voice and obey the first time. Do not get caught up in striving or performance mentalities. The key to the door of opportunity that awaits you is simple. Trust and obey. Do not try to figure things out, do not try to make things happen in your own power or strength, and simply do everything I tell you to do. There is a new clarity coming in 2010 so that you may know My way and walk in it.”

"Refuse to entertain the enemy's voice of discouragement, who attempts to keep you from fulfilling your destiny. You are called and chosen to demonstrate the light of God's Kingdom in this hour. You live in the generation where darkness is attempting to abound, but God's grace and truth will abound much more. I have empowered you to do the impossible, because with Me all things are possible.”

 

“I have heard the cries of the chosen and the whispers of the voiceless. I have caught the tears of the broken and I have seen the works of the faithful. I have not forgotten you, hidden from you, nor abandoned you. Instead, I have been waiting for you to come to this place in time and history. This is the time and place that you find me to be your all in all. I am the all sufficient one. Trust me. Remember the plans that I have for you are good and that my ways are perfect. It is time to once again taste and see that the Lord is good.

“Wrap yourselves in My light, and clothe yourselves in My love. Let the world see Me, hear Me, and feel Me through you. Do not be caught off guard. This is a year of divine appointments and opportunities to show forth My perfect love and hand of kindness. I am bringing you back to your first love. Fall in love with Me and then fall in love with those I love. I am releasing a new mandate and mantle of evangelism. There is an urgency in the spirit to take the church beyond the walls. I am releasing a new zeal and fire upon the lives and ministries who will dare to step out as pioneers.”

 

“This is going to be a year of new spiritual order. I am once again bringing order to the chaos of this world. I am bringing you out of recession into restoration, reformation, and revival. Do not try to hang on to what I have not given you and do not despise what you thought was small beginnings. I am bringing you to a new level of increase but you must prepare for it. Prepare your character. I desire to cause My character to flow through you, like rivers of living water. Prepare the container of your hearts so that My love can flow out of you to a dry and desolate city and nation. Prepare My church to accommodate the unseen and unexpected harvest. I see what you do not see and I have My eye on the overlooked harvest. 2010 will be a year of supernatural world wide harvest especially in the hardest places and among the hardest people. As I bring you into this new season, you must keep your eyes on Me because you have never been this way before.” “Heed the warnings and the signs of the times. Watch in awe; listen in wonder as the earth comes into alignment with the sound of voice and the movement of My finger. The birthing process has started. I have induced the labor pains. All that has been held back from my people is being released as the judgment of God is being heaped upon the head of the enemy.”

“It is time to maximize your moment. There is a new momentum of acceleration. This acceleration will move mountains, shift things in the natural and bring about the judgments of God in the earth.”
“I am bringing about correction to government offices and I am shifting the scales of justice in My favor. I will dethrone and defrock those who would abuse their power and My people. Secure the borders and awaken the watchmen. See the danger on the horizon and speak to it, sound the alarm. I am requiring My servants to say the hard things as well as the good. Do not speak to tickle the itching ears of men but speak truth to the heart so that true change will come.”

“2010 is a year of increased responsibility and stewardship. As the economy of the world has decreased, it is imperative of My people to give more faithfully than ever before. Giving will sustain the new spiritual order of supernatural resources and provision for your life. The economy of My kingdom is not based on working and wages but rather sowing and reaping. You cannot reap what you have not sown. Be mindful of the gifts and talents I have placed in your hands. Start with what you have and do not focus or worry about what you do not have yet.”

“Many have been on a journey through the wilderness. This has been a season of trials and testing by fire for many. It was not a test to break you but rather a test to promote you to your next level and place of appointment. Do not panic or be anxious. Do not be afraid of the schemes, attacks, or persecution of your enemies. Allow the enemy to work on your behalf. Remember that I am able to work all things together for your good. Some of these difficulties have been allowed because on the other side of it your heart is becoming even more pure through the fire.”

 

“The glory of the Lord is increasing upon individuals. It is time to arise and shine; for the light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." I want you to know the reality and power of the living God in you. Remember it is Christ in you, the hope of glory. There is also a new anointing coming upon those called to the fivefold ministry to equip the people of God to destroy the works of the enemy. The works of the sons and daughters of God are going to surpass that of generations past. It is time to pass on the mantles and batons because it is time to run like never before.”

“It is time to gather the harvest that awaits you. I am bringing a new unity of heart to my church as I breakdown and breakthrough walls of division and separation. Obstacles and distractions that once seemed insurmountable will be overcome "suddenly," These suddenlies will bring significant change and breakthrough. I am ushering My people into the place of the total turn around. ”

Observations and Ponderings For 2010
 
Robert Ricciardelli
 

I love to ponder the possibilities and creative ways we can please God and serve others. I love to reflect on how things are, and "what if" we changed them. How can we further align ourselves toward His Most Excellent Ways? We only know in part, so it is always good to check what we think we know often.

These observations and ponderings can be purposeful to challenge existing paradigms, while firming up Kingdom foundations. Many of these are happening all around us, but what if they were not just the exception, but were consistently happening? What will Father do as His children grow up in becoming more like Him? My prayers are to continually stimulate possibility thoughts towards ways that bring forth His Kingdom through our lives.

Here are my Observations and Ponderings as we move into 2010:

Pray for our leaders rather than complain about who we have or don't have in office. God is on the throne and will have His way, regardless of who is in office and we are called to pray for His will and for His purposes to be accomplished for our nation.

Give to Caesar (government) what is Caesar's, and give to God what is His, which are our very lives. Jesus was consumed with His Father's Kingdom being brought to the earth; we must focus on that rather than political processes, and give that burden to Him. Do what you are called to do, and leave the rest to Him.

May the Lord begin to raise up new leaders who will stand for righteousness in the realms of government—for the Daniels and the Josephs to be raised up and take their place in leading nations with Father's influence, presence, and wisdom in governmental offices.

Father is shaking all foundations that are not built upon the Rock of Himself. How are we responding to the shaking all around us?

Be active in using what we do have, and quit wasting time worrying about what we don't have.

We will not fear any longer, we will not fear life or death, because we are in His hands.

"Stop it, just stop it" in our negative thought patterns. "Stop it, just stop it" thinking that way, in Jesus name!

We must understand and activate true repentance in every area of our lives; truly turn away instead of just feeling sorry for our patterns of sin.

We must forgive every wrong committed against us in the past and more swiftly in the days ahead.

Let's allow His presence to eradicate bitterness from the depths of our souls.

We must understand and apply His freedom from every deliberate and unintentional wounds from our past.

Choose to never live as a victim again, because the revelation of Christ and His grace suffices daily for us. Live as a victor and flee from the victim mindset.

Forgive ourselves, and move on past the shame simply because Jesus has forgiven us, and His work in forgiveness is complete.

We will accept and believe with all of our heart, soul, and mind that Jesus loves us, accepts us, and is for us, every moment of every day.

HE ACCEPTS US AS WE ARE to the point that it overwhelms the fact that we do not accept ourselves sometimes. You are growing but you are also complete in Him NOW.

We will live the way of the Cross, knowing persecution and trials will come. We will die more to self, because it is the narrow way He asked us to follow.

As we die to self more, Christ lives through us more, and every single need will be met as our joy is made complete in Him.

Rest in who we are in Christ, rather than running around doing activities He never called us to do. Being rather than doing!

God loves us, and it has nothing to do with our past, or our future performances. Rest in Him daily!

Pastors and leadership teams around the world need to train and release every member of their church into the ministry that the Lord has called them to. This training and releasing goes beyond the four walls of organized church.

Citywide transformation can begin to take place when each individual realizes his or her purpose and calling, and is released to fulfill it in everyday life.

We need to pick up our mats and walk in obedience after the Lord's deliverance, rather than come back for prayer and healing for the same things week after week.

God's true leaders will seek to always serve beyond ever having to be served. Leaders will train and lead others in the vision God has for them as individuals, and trust the Holy Spirit to move on them to support community or corporate vision. Faith must arise in leaders.

The Lord owns everything we have and asks us to steward everything He has given us. We must ask Him how much to give and to where, always willing to give 100% if He were to ask that of us.

The orphan spirit in many is looking for fathers who will love them, and disciple them to their Heavenly Father. The Father's heart will rise up, and we will begin to see kingly and priestly fathers in the order of Melchizedek, in the ways of Christ.

Children of God must understand and operate more fully in the authority that Jesus Christ sacrificed for them to have. It is He that performs it through their lives.

Kingdomized people will continue to bring godly influence and leadership to all the gates of the city. Kings and priests of God need to lead by serving in His wisdom and strength in government, business, healthcare, media, law, and educational jurisdictions of our cities.

Every Believer must not settle in how they view themselves, while ever seeking the Father to know the full potential of what He sees in them.

Let's accept others and the blessing that they are, rather than being offended by them in their differences.

Choose to see the good in people, pray for the rest in them, and love them regardless, whether or not they change in the ways we think they should. Believe for the best in others.

We must be willing to serve in every phase of our lives rather than being served.

Every Believer must understand the eternal process they are in, and walk without judgment beside those not as far along in the process.

We look at many things as realities that are not. As more exposure comes to false realities, the more we can live in the reality of His eternal Kingdom.

Choose to have an unoffendable heart. When offenses come, let go of them quickly.

Forgive in every situation, and not only because the Father said He would not forgive you unless you forgive, but because it is in your heart to love in that way.

Be excited about the uniqueness of each other's differences, and the value of each expression of God's people.

Spiritual Fathers should have a heart of giving to their spiritual sons that surpass any thoughts of what they would receive in return.

Shepherds (pastors), must be willing to run after the few of the flock that have been hurt, isolated and in need of life-giving expressions of our Savior's love.

God's people should pray and communicate intimately with the Father on a daily basis. Daily, let's be gathering both missionally and relationally in homes, coffee shops, and businesses.

We must live each day as it is our last day, and continue to build each day for a better tomorrow for future generations.

Live and move and have your being in the Holy Spirit, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. Oh what a standard to move towards.

Receive every word or deed with the Father's eyes and with His heart. Then Father can also engage you in a response to life and bring forth words and deeds that bring life to others, and bring Him glory.

We must seek to trash every idol in our life to be free in serving effectively in the army of our Lord. The greatest idol that we battle is the idol called "self", continue to lay down self and become selfless in our pursuit of Christ and His Kingdom.

Believers must realize that their obedience to all that they do each day is ministry to God and His kingdom.

Housewives' and mothers are in a valuable full-time ministry in keeping the home, and raising the next generation in the pursuit of the will of God.

People of God need to see more fully the ministry the Lord is doing through His daughters. There is a need for further freedom from limited mindsets regarding the Father's potential and ministry in women. Women have no limits in what the Lord may call them to do, and people must not get in the way of God's desire for them.

The Kingdom of God is beyond race, gender, or age, but is a diversity of expression in His glorious Kingdom. In the Kingdom male, female, Greek, and Jew can work together in the fullness and likeness of Christ.

Business owners and all workers must realize that in Christ, they are full-time ministers in their calling. For the business owner, people are their greatest resource and they can be an effective pastor for their businesses.

Those in business should look at co-workers, vendors, and customers, as potentially part of their household of faith, or sphere of godly influence. Christian business owners can look at their businesses as an impact for the community. Churches, homes, businesses, are redeemed and moving in God's glory throughout the community.

God speaks in relevance for today beyond the written word in alignment of the written word. In other words, many services and ways that the Father has given us stewardship over are beyond Biblical context, but will be in alignment with the Word of God contextualized for today.

So many are operating in the prophetic, as we are a prophetic people. But we are people that can be subjective. Therefore we must find godly ways to enhance prophetic accountability.

The earth continues to be filled with the glory of the Lord and He is just waiting for more of us to get involved.

True wealth is measured in what you give away, and not what you keep.

Love as He loves, speak as He speaks, and do what He does, and we can change the world.

Your opinions are okay, because they are your opinions. It would be nice to be loved regardless of how different we all perceive life.

Appreciate the different cultures and expressions in God's Kingdom, regardless if you understand them, or fancy them.

Understand the commandment to love. Choose to love, even if you do not feel the return of love from others.

Our prayer is that many of these become realities in people's lives, enabling them to go out and make a bigger Kingdom difference.

Kingdom Age Transition - Clay Sikes
Jan 3, 2010



As we enter into this next era with God, the Kingdom Age, we will begin to notice many new characteristics of God’s people. In fact, the greatest characteristic will be ‘the character’ of the men and women leading this new era (Kingdom Age). You will know them by their fruit. First and foremost, Kingdom Age leaders will have their own money bag; they will be self sufficient and will never fleece the sheep with money generating tactics. They will abhor terms like ‘love offering.’ They will not impose the legal ritual of tithing upon anyone. They will offer much of what they have in terms of ministry items; CDs, tapes, teachings, etc., free, and be a blessing to those around them. With some exceptions, the ministry will not serve as their primary source of income. They will always look to God for their provision, and will never look to man or the tired worn out exploitive systems that have been used to exploit the Body financially. If they take an offering, it will be to bless the poorest in the meeting.

These men and women are emerging today, without motive or ambition, except obedience to the Father. A true characteristic of many of today’s ‘Church Age’ ministries is rooted in personal ambition; men and women who want to be known. The World’s System applauds this behavior, which so subtly corrupts what we have traditionally called ‘The Church.’ I know lost ambitious men in corporate America today, who are less ambitious than many ministers and ministries I know. This should not be, and is about to change as the Kingdom Age makes its presence known. Kingdom Age ministers do not seek to be known; in fact, they prefer to be unknown. They do not seek to share God’s glory, and any situation that puts them in position to do so is avoided at all cost. They will duck and run when man starts heaping his glory upon them. In contrast to their Church Age counterparts, there is a deeply rooted humility that has come through much tribulation; a characteristic that can only gain its identity through fire and affliction. The leaders of this new era know something about adversity. They have faced death and ruin on many occasions; dealt with physical, emotional, and spiritual pain – they have died, yet live, but now ONLY for His purpose.

Kingdom Age leaders are not ‘loud mouth know it alls,’ spewing scripture with every breath who ‘act’ with a practiced and contrived stage presence to invoke emotional response. They have utter distain for the ‘big me, little you/clergy, laymen divide that flows from most pulpits and TV preachers today. They are quiet, and only speak when God gives them something to say; but when they speak…Oh God! Listen, those who have ears to hear, you will hear from the throne room of God. Are these men and women perfect? Anything but, their weak flesh keeps them bound to the Father.

The Kingdom Age in which we are entering is a time of supernatural exploits. God is revealing himself through His dead vessels that are alive in Him. As healing was a major characteristic of the Church Age, Power and Authority will be a characteristic of the Kingdom Age – an Age that will ‘prepare the way.’ God is birthing something completely new; His fire is falling, but we must be careful to recognize the form in which it is falling. An evangelist would suppose it to be revival; a teacher would call it more word, an apostle, more churches, a prophet, more insight, a preacher, more people. Perhaps some of all of this is true; but the context of fire, from my humble depths, is greater authority and power to carry out His Will upon the earth. Test this by your Spirit! Always test any prophetic words you hear, read, or touch.

I will be writing much more on this subject in the future. I am full, and want to let it out.

In Him,

2010 - Connecting The 'Called' In The Market
Clay Sikes
Jan 1, 2010

Marketplace Connectivity

Clay Sikes - 2010

 

2010 invites connectivity of those ‘called’ to connect. The Kingdom Coalition has begun in earnest, and technology, often termed a ‘curse,’ is one medium God is using to initiate the coalescing of the ‘Coalition.’ 2010 invites transparency and openness that, through technology, permits us to know ‘who’ and ‘what’ we are connected to, as “reliable communication permits progress.”

 

 

I have little in the way of deep understanding of the emergence of the Kingdom in the marketplace, but I am getting a glimpse; and one of clearest aspects of this IS ‘the one man show is over.’ What God is doing today involves the Body of Christ, and those called to connect for His purpose.

 

   

To that end, I have included my web addresses for all I am involved in, as the marketplace is changing in rapid order, and much of my present assignment is in the market. The World’s System has dictated how the market has operated, yet this is changing with the emergence of the Kingdom of God (in the market).

2010 Critical or Compromised - Jose Bosque


If in fact we are living in the End times and the Lord's return is eminent then biblically we stand at the door of a great move of God. If we stand at the door of an unprecedented awakening of the Body of Christ then we also stand before an unprecedented release of the prophets and apostles who will call His Body back to Him.

Like a plane on the tarmac not being allowed to take off many prophets and apostles in the church today have been taxiing up and down the runway never being allowed to speak with freedom. For their efforts to cry out against a lukewarm church they have been castigated, despised, isolated and rejected because the message they bring is not a happy one.

A few of these prophets and apostles have become critical and as a result their message doesn't come out of a broken heart for the condition of the church anymore but out of a hurting heart that has not recovered from the abuse of the church. I know, I was there.

The greater number have become compromised and like a bird with its wings cut they flutter about under the thumb of their taskmaster (whoever they are trying to please). These prophets and apostles never speak up for fear of being rejected, the simple fact that their financials will suffer they have an immature desire to be liked. Some say they are proponents of God's love. Personally, I think the Bible begs for a better translation of the word love.

God is pleased with neither. We must return to the first prayer of the church in the book of Acts and ask the Lord for boldness to speak in the midst of persecution. There is no other plan. When the Lord chose to awaken His people in the Old Testament He always first released His prophets with uncompromising boldness. These men carried the respect and the fear of God wherever they went.

Samuel was feared, Elijah and Elisha were feared, Jeremiah and Haggai were feared, John the Baptist was feared, Our Lord Jesus was feared, Stephen the Martyr was feared, Paul was feared, and John ended up on the isle of Patmos for his well received messages. Church History is full of men like John Huss, Martin Luther, men and women that were burned at the stake or torn apart by lions because they would not tone it down. In our lifetime we have seen men like the late Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson speaking things the church did not want to hear.

Next time you feel like God has something to say through you remember:

Behind all those smiles is a religious system that makes the Matrix look like a Girl Scout Movie. Speak up and watch their claws appear. You must decide. Whom do you serve and at what price? Who called you? What is the motive behind everything you do?

I have answered these difficult questions in my life. I chose with God's help to lose all to lose all to gain everything.

My Plan A for 2010


"I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen. "
Martin Luther

2010 is a Year to Inhabit Eternity

He (God) has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.—Ecclesiastes 3:11

God has given man an eternal perspective so that he can look beyond the routine of life. Nevertheless, Father God has not revealed all of life's mysteries to man. God holds the plan and we are to yearn for it.

The Book of Ecclesiastes represents a human struggle to discover meaning during life. Understand, our Creator placed either a hopeless burden or a hope-filled challenge before us. Our actions will determine our mindset or view. To the "world order" view, it would be as a hopeless burden that could not offer peace of a "blessed assurance" knowing the God of our Universe had us in His great plan both now and for eternity. However, God does not want His own family to reside in the "natural" mind that is at war against our spirit being. We are more than conquerors if we know who we are and then take the responsibility for obedience or not!

During this earthly journey toward our eternal abode, we have more "spiritual set-backs" from Believers forfeiting inherent rights to the enemy than from the devil's cunning devices. However, there are three main components the Lord told me we will overcome in the year 2010:

We must possess and abide in a land we have conquered.
We must occupy our land by "title deed" ownership rights.
We must realize our identity in God to rout our enemy.

Remember, God resides and inhabits eternity, not earthly existence. God IS SPIRIT! We are becoming His promised Word, and must grow more even daily as God reorders our vision of being eternally minded.

2010 Will Be a Year of "Extreme Breakout"

We cannot totally abandon the natural where we have been "sown" to grow into the supernatural life, producing everlasting fruit, yet we cannot live on earth as if it is our "main course" on God's banquet table of His ceaseless plan. This New Year and new decade, Christians will begin living in the view of Spiritual Dispensation as opposed to residing in a material, earthly subsistence. This is a year for complete "breakout."

In this time, Christians will begin understanding our birthing was "supernatural" before we came to earth to be born in the natural. We will begin to understand that God's plan on earth was not to end our destiny when we leave this natural life, yet His endless plan was rather to sow us eternally with Him! As we move into the breakout of old, false mindsets that have been sowed into our lives, God is now drawing us back to the eternal DNA we were made from—for the yearning for home with the Father.

Our new season is not leading us into an "escape-from-earth" thinking, yet a deep resolve that this is but a step into the ceaseless ages of an eternal Kingdom where we indeed rule and reign with our Father forever! Be encouraged, our best is just ahead of us!

So, let us make a 2010 New Year's Resolution that: 2010 is the year to breakout of the 'naturally minded' wilderness.

We furthermore make a new resolution that: We are being repositioned into the vision of perpetuating our eternal purpose spiritually.

Now we will allow the Lord to change our hearts into hunger for the supernatural destiny. This means we will indeed become more "super" natural beings than carnally existing citizens dwelling on earth as though it were our only motivation for living.

Be prepared to have strong supernatural desires overwhelm your natural mind, taking you into the destiny you have known deep down inside is where you belong! Jesus sowed this into us so that we are to be Christ's example of the "express image" of the invisible God.

The enemy of our souls has duped many Believers into settling for far less than God has appropriated for His own. Too often, God's family has exchanged the glory of God for the mindset of an accepted spiritual stalemate. We must not accept the accuser's words against those of the Living Word of God. We will now move into a genuine hunger to absorb the Living Word of God. We must take God at His word, shut out the devil's accusations, and grow into a maturity of ownership to act by faith upon the double-edged "Sword of the Lord," to cut out the carnal mindset that the devil wants to use to destroy our future. Again, this is 2010, the year for moving into your extreme "breakout."

Even a limited human view sees that God has created an ordered, beautiful universe, but spiritually unaided human reason does not discover the true meaning of life. We want to see eternal results of our lives but cannot through the view of our natural eyes. If we reside on the earthly view, then everything will be an unending physical burden. The enemy loves nothing more than to keep Christians in the web of that vicious cycle of "carnally-minded, slave-labor camps." Do not accept it, you are made for this year of 2010 to experience extreme "breakout." Just do it!

2010 is a Year of "Restorations"

We are about to see the Lord perform tremendous restorations. Your latter house will be far greater than the former. God is about to restore to His own what the locust has destroyed. God is bringing His own out of the shame of their loss which "swarmed" over them through disobedience.

Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.—Joel 2:25 (NASB)

The Lord is now restoring to His own the years of loss that many thought would not come to pass. God is about to restore our land and restore the "fear of the Lord" in the process! We will begin to return to the fear of God. God is bringing back His "Awe" of respect. Hope comes only as we let God's gift of life satisfy us by reverencing and fearing Him.

God controls the events of His created order. Finding purpose in that order is not a natural, "soulish" discovery. It is an uncovering that comes only by faith in our Creator, who sees and acts beyond our restricted time. There is a time for many things God has placed us here on earth to accomplish, yet if we pursue earthly endeavors over God's masterful eternal plan, then we have sown into the ideology that this earth's value is greater or equal to that of God's eternal and everlasting Kingdom.

Earth is not insignificant in God's great scheme, or He would not have relegated man as the caretaker and the one to subdue it as we multiply God's Kingdom. Yes, God did instruct us to do so on earth as it is in Heaven, yet we are to not allow the enemy of our souls to convince us to view earth now as if it were the finished work of Heaven!

America is About to Be Financially Restored

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that He may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. He must remain in Heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets.—Act 3:19-21 (NIV)

From the time of October 1, 2009, for the next 37 Months, the Economy of the United States will become restored to 10 times better than it was ever before. God does NOT want this country bankrupt, and thus no matter who says it is, God wants the economy to be restored to the Christians whom He had to know He could trust! World financial leaders will become astounded how much Israel will now play into this "financial restoration" of the USA.

Our Country will turn around because God's Church in America has sown more exportation of the Gospel to the known world than any other country—it will continue to do so! Remember—from the time of October 1, 2009, for the next 37 Months—this is about to be the Nation of immense wealth for the Kingdom of God to be brought further into this earth, as it is in Heaven! Heaven has a word, and you can "bank on it!"

A restoration is also a time of cleansing the hard-hearted from the midst of the innocent in Christ. Nonetheless, His chosen Israel will now turn to the Father's heart as His has been seeking theirs! This is a new season, and when the shaking of the nations occurs, it is yet within the plan of God to rend humanity of its selfish motives, the pride to do whatsoever they desire, all the while abandoning the very Creator who has always been pursuing His creation. God is the Creator, the Lover of our souls, and yes, even the Justice System that is our highest form of order, called God's Government. Remember, God is Government. Never stop appealing unto God's great government!

Our Nation will now begin to see God in a different light than a God of judgment. You will see God as one who is JUST and TRUE. God does not want to punish you. Discipline is not unfair punishment. Discipline is love to keep us in line with our Father, so the enemy does not destroy us. God is not wanting to punish His creation, yet His creation is drawing upon His requirements to keep His word in discipline.

2010 Will Bring About Some Major Shaking of Both Sky and Earth Realms

Prophet Haggai states this prophecy below, which is both fulfilled and to be further fulfilled, as this is a dualistic prophetic Word from God:

For thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD of hosts.—Haggai 2:6-7 (NASB) emphasis added

When the shaking becomes much more intensified from 2010 through 2012, you can be sure that those who have ever known God will fall on their knees and repent. Also, followers of God will freely offer the value of His "awesome" respect and who He really is compared to earthly pleasures. The wisdom of the Lord's people will return as they offer Him the awesome respect He requires and merits. Remember that the fear of the Lord is the beginning or the basis of true wisdom.

We are to serve God with all our hearts, souls and minds. As we become more "sanctified", then we will be entering into the land that was promised us, that will indeed flow with milk and honey. We are to not live for the milk and honey, yet to possess the land that will nourish our spirits more than our souls.

This is an exciting time to be alive on earth! We are truly coming out of the "wilderness of carnal thinking", allowing God to "shake the dust of earthliness" off His people and rending them to become the dominating Kingdom fruit that remains!

I believe I have heard the Lord tell me signs of shaking will occur from 2010 onwards in these strategic areas of the United States:

The Central and Midwest USA—earthquakes will occur in the St. Louis, MO surrounding area. Be ready for the Mississippi to shift directions as the shaking and flooding occurs beginning in the late spring onwards in 2010. Cleveland, OH will experience the Burning Fire of God causing citywide repentance to turn back to your motto—"With God, all things are possible."

New York City—will begin to experience "power outages—first brown then black outs!" The Statue of Liberty must be guarded. We must be on guard for our Liberty to continue to shine and not be dimmed by darkness from within our borders. We must guard that Liberty is not darkened.

Los Angeles—more fires will cause you to burn bright as a light for God and not man. Hollywood is about to undergo a "Facelift" and it will begin producing more Christian-based and Family movies than ever before. Hollywood is about to go through a Move of God that will impact LA to Detroit.

Detroit—will be moved by Hollywood as never before. Detroit will begin a new dance and a new sound from Heaven. It will glorify God in the streets of the city and spill into other major city streets across our country. Motown is going to become God's town!

Miami—is in for a deluge that will wash your hearts and minds for God! Widespread flooding will overwhelm you in out-of-season times. Know that is God knocking on your heart's door. Let Him in! If you do, you will spark the biggest Latino Move of God our nation has ever yet experienced! I feel you will, and it will move our hearts to the point of a new passion for the Latin American people to be the answer to a new wave of God's anointing. This will connect across I-10 over to San Antonio, TX. Miami, the keys are in your hands! If you choose slowly, 3 major hurricanes will be on your shore to remind you "no more!"

San Antonio—get ready to see Spanish taught to people instantly who desire to have a heart for the Latin American people! We will exchange languages in the Spirit and it will be a "supernatural sign" of God to use every tribe and tongue to bring God glory as hearts are pursuing His purpose. San Antonio, you have the light that is about to blow God's hot fire on the Border Drug Wars. The Alamo City is now drawing a spiritual "line in the sand." You will become the Fire of God's heart to purge the evil from the borders, and once again open up the free exchange into Mexico and Central America from your I-35 corridor all the way to a powerfully anointed outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God! You are now anointed to carry the Flame of Revival that will sweep Mexico and even become transported upwards on the 1-35 Corridor into Dallas, Denton, and up to the Central U.S. Get ready—you are on a powder keg of anointing, for this time in 2010 is yours!

New Orleans—Hurricane after hurricane with record winds will send in waves upon waves of flooding that will overcome evil intentions, and what is left will be because of those who have stayed on their knees and have humbled themselves before the almighty God. You will soon know that God does not "play games" with eternity in the balance. Change your hearts today! This is the time to fall on your knees now and turn from the "arrogance" that denies God. Yes, He is both grace and mercy, but He is also the One of justice and truth. A remnant will remain, but New Orleans, you will never be the same. Today is your day of salvation! Begin to intercede now!

Dallas/Ft. Worth/Denton Metro Region—You will take to the Nations heart with the meaning of "The Eyes of Texas are upon you." DFW is positioned to make a decision to become the "Restoration Capital" of our Nation. Only through humility will a New Hosanna Center be birthed that lifts up Christ and will indeed draw all men. DFW is in the balance of becoming the nation's Prophetic Training Central Hub for our country and to see how God's Kingdom will come to this earth as it is in Heaven! Many will begin to come to DFW/Denton and the I-35 Corridor zone to assist in training and connecting schools as ministry homes. Open heavens will reside over this region due to the watch and intercession faithfulness. DFW is about to turn the nation to its knees to seek the Lord and many will come to find Him there! Remember, Dallas, don't let the devil put you on the horse called Pride. Stay humble before God.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana—will become known as the "least likely" to supply our nation with the Best Executive Officer our country has seen since President Ronald Reagan! Be prepared to hear that Baton Rouge has a capital anointing for the capital appointing, and it will make history for the next two decades. Judicial, Legislative and Executive will benefit because of the plans for a super deposit that will spring forth from the Capital of Louisiana that will affect not only eleven other states, but will affect our nation for God and be the voice God has preserved to impact our world. Baton Rouge, you will be known as the one who has given the Eye of the Tiger back to the heart of this nation. From 2012 to the next 12 years, you will have a capital authority to turn this nation's heart back to the very heart of God. Decree it, pray it, be it!

2010—Embrace it...No More "Merry-Go-Rounds"

As I was spending this time alone to hear from God, I saw a bunch of older people that were acting like children fighting to stay on the "merry-go-round." Some had older, weathered features and yet seemed "childish" in this constant battle to reside in a "playground" they should have passed through long ago. Instead, they kept fighting to stay on the merry-go-round and hung on to a comfort of moving, yet going nowhere. Like the same idea of a dog going around and around in circles chasing his tail, yet only grabbing exhaustion. We must not allow the hardness of hearts to stop us from going around in circles that God has never ordered.

The Lord is telling His people to break free from the "old cycles" of iniquity that have been a snare of the devil to keep them from their plan and purpose of God. God's people must move into the ownership of becoming responsible for actions. It is the season to face and reckon with the truth. If we will, then we will adjust to the order of God, and move from the past into our season of intense "breakout" for God's best.

God wants us to reach higher than ever, yet He will not just reach down and grab the "merry-go-round" if we have a "will to hang" onto what is not our plan. God will not generally override our will to move on, as it would defeat His plan to have us "hunger after Him" as He must be pursued. When we were drawn to Jesus it was because the Holy Spirit was "wooing" us into our eternal transformation called "salvation." As we hunger for more of Him, the more He reveals of Himself. God did promise, however, to reward those who diligently seek after Him!

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him (God): for he that cometh to God must believe that He (God) is, and that He (God) is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (God)."—Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)

To please God, one must believe that the only true God—not a god—exists and that He rewards. God is both loving, compassionate and slow to anger, yet does keep His Word. God is honor-bound to perform His Word. What you sow, you will reap.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."—Galatians 6:7 (NASB)

2010 is now "Reaping Time."

God's Creation is Made to Groan For His Plan

The Year of AYIN is the first year into the new (5770) decade of "70s" which speaks of "searching eyes." It is the year of INSIGHT in the SPIRIT. Through this new phase of God's "70" decade, we can expect to have leadership groups to begin to administer the judgment God has developed for His order. God is a God of order. God's creation is made to "groan" for His plan.

In that process of "groaning" Israel may indeed enter a season of "warring" with God's plan, but it will be their ability to incisively act upon God's plan to save their nation and ours! Israel will increase, and we would do well to increase Heaven's odd for our favor by favoring the apple of His eye. Keep your eyes on Israel in the next 10 Months, because God will uphold His chosen.

We must pray for the Peace of Jerusalem! However, you will soon note that it is not "peace at any price!" The Prince of Persia will soon know the Hosts of Heaven reside upon the side of His own. Israel is about to be on the increase. God is about to restore His lost unto Himself.

Then said he unto me, "Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia."—Daniel 10:12-13 (NASB)

Consequently not all things have "submitted" to God's order. If we will submit to God, to His accountability through God directed leaders in our lives, then we will begin to enjoy the blessings of God's order, not mankind's existence in carnal disorder. Disorder causes people to moan, not groan. When people murmur and complain rather than submit, they are the ones who choose the consequences that will rend the most stubborn from being a stumbling block. God wants this earth to be restored, beginning before He put man on it.

If we will only submit and yearn for God's perfect will, then it will head off the enemy taking us another 40 years of trials and testing around the "Wilderness Mountains." Yet we must understand that our participation is required. This is the year to settle it now, decree with your own words, that "we are not going backwards!" Make this a declaration of your heart: we are now in a season of becoming desperate for our powerful and passionate "breakout!" God is about to restore all things for His Kingdom! We are breaking out of the old and into the new!

We have moved into the final phase of the apostolic order and God is about to "reorder" the way the Church has done business. God will do what He said He will do. He is not a man that He should lie. God watches over His Word. God is a "rewarder" of those who acknowledge Him as the only true God. As we are drawn into this season of close pursuit of God, understand that we will never be able to quench our appetites for the "hunger to be in His presence."

Ayin - The Year of Double

Ayin = 5770 which is the current Hebrew Year. The Hebrew word ayin has many meanings, and they are to be representative of where our hearts are to view God's plan above ours. The word ayin, means literally "nothing," or "naught." Further understanding reveals that this one word means many things that are relevant to the context of the use of the word ayin. This same word also symbolizes the meaning of countless or endless—this is when you have the word ayin to represent "innumerable."

When you enter this journey now, you must have the mindset of the Father lifting you out of the old and transforming you into the supernatural realm of the ayin or an unfathomable, immeasurable "breakout." God is causing us to be an endless well of anointing that will spring forth into the dry and thirsty land. We are the fountains of God to bring it into the promise land, for God's Kingdom springs of refreshing! Be ready to "Spring Forth as Living Water" from the "innermost" parts of your Spirit!

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, "From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water."—John 7:38 (NASB)

God is pouring Himself out to display the latter house is better than the former! Our next 10 years will dwarf all expectations if we act in faith with God, not wavering to call things that are not as though they were. It is our new walk of faith that will bring God's great rewards. 2010 is the season to breakout of the old and not allow the past patterns to hold you from entering your new season of breakout. We are moving into a new decade of promise in 2010 to 2020! Move with the cloud and fire of God's anointing on this new 10-year journey.

A fresh start is awaiting for those who dare to not look back into the past defeats. During the "Ayin" breakout point, we must not be looking backwards, but forwards into the "10" years ahead! We must embrace this new "10" anointing as our "double grace" gifts of two times five or twice the amount of God's grace to breakout from the patterns of our past failures. (I now have two nickels glued together in my pocket and will carry this as a reminder for this year to abide in the "double grace" anointing.) Look at your mountains today and shout, "Grace, Grace" unto those mountains of despair looming in your path!

We must pursue the Lord with all our might—all your heart, your soul, your strength and your mind (see Luke 10:27). We must hunger and thirst after Him in a new insatiable desire as never before! We cannot allow the enemy's tricks of "complacency" to hobble our futures! This is an extreme breakthrough time to launch us into our Complete Breakout "10" Season!

We have now entered into a 10-year period of Extreme Breakout!

Always a Voice for God,

Prophetic Outlook 2010 - Destiny Becoming Reality...

by Jake Tribble

    As for many who are listening to the Lord for direction in the coming year and decade, HE has revealed through Holy Spirit a confirmation to 'Destiny Becoming Reality'.

Beginning before New Years Eve 2000, preparations for Y2K were taken seriously and executed with clockwork precision to abate what many thought would be a nightmare in the world of computing. Needless to say, less came from all those preparations than any other single event, now history but nonetheless a landmark date. Flowing on in history, September 11, 2001, a day this generation saw a catastrophic attack against this nation from an unseen enemy. Far from Pearl Harbor in the eyes of this nation, yet troubling for both Believers in Christ and unbelievers alike. Why do unbelievers continue refusing to recognize that the enemy of God is also an enemy capable of devastation and mayhem? A Reality defined in God's WORD, having more information does not necessarily assure one of a quiet existence, but Wisdom steers one to make the correct decision concerning eternity. Non-stop coverage of the US invasion of Iraq, who remembers the hours upon hours of live transmissions, journalists 'embedded' with troops, searching for Saddam Hussein and any one of his associates. Caught a few short months later, man's system of law and order seemingly triumphed and justice was served.

The ups and downs following this 'invasion' in the global dot com market, shook not only Wall Street but streets all across this nation, where businesses, industries and of course families were forced into foreclosure and eventually many into bankruptcy. Following on the heels of that, our relationships with foreign markets saw a drastic about-face. Where for over 40 years, the United States was a leading exporter of goods, now the markets collapsed and the 'well' dried up. Who would have thought later, that with all this 'wisdom', thousands would again place their life savings and retirement and as did many government entities into the hands of one man, taking no thought of the consequences of such actions should the markets fail again.

   We as Believers are challenged by the impending growth of the kingdom of darkness across the earth. God's Grace and Mercy may soon quickly expire. At hand are the precious souls of millions, 'Destined' for an Eternity that makes Hiroshima seem like a firecracker, bang, a little smoke and it's over. Not so, Eternity is undefineable, unestimateable, not linear nor measureable. Reality takes it's heartbeat from Christ Jesus, breath from Holy Spirit and exists under the watchful eye of Jehovah God. Not a sparrow shall fall to the ground, but that our heavenly Father takes notice. Those WORDs to the world seem outdated. Simply useless to the carnal mind, yet TRUTH in the most basic form.

Prophets and prophesies abound, in every imaginative flavor. Seen through 'eyes' that are dimmed by the past, gauged by the present and hopeful for the future, many will eagerly grasp the closest thing that resembles what the need in their life at that time mandates. The Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel, gave difficult and harsh WORDs from the LORD, to a wreckless nation. Only returning to a 'heart of fear and reverence'  would appease a Holy God, desiring man's Obedience over the senseless but required need of an unblemished sacrifice for Redemption. Whenever the words of a modern day Prophet seem pleasing or 'aligned', many will join ranks, given to 'having the mind of Christ', it is the Unity of the Body of Christ that seems to be moved to a lower level, elevating once again 'divine' direction, yet often so far away from the 'mark', months later seem ridiculous to say the least.

Anyone looking for a sign that will give any indication to the state of God's Plan, need only to listen to HIS Spirit giving utterance, often in a language unknown to their minds, because their 'hearts' were expecting something entirely different. Such a harsh reality, yet many have fallen victim, and aren't discerning enough to realize they were misguided, until the vapors of the latest prophecy have slipped away.

Destiny Becoming Reality, began the moment God removed Adam and Eve from the garden. Reality brought forth from Destiny, will conclude when 'perfection comes' in the lives of Believers. Given to much prayer and fasting, 'till the day and hour our Master returns, we are to be Faithful about HIS business. The harvest is ripe with souls hanging so delicately in the 'balance of Eternity'. Faith, Hope and Love, where Love is as Jesus said, 'the greatest' of these, yet in the past has been the least desired Gift of all. Falling away from Faith in Christ, the absolute TRUTH, one's Hope suffers immensly if not permanently disabled. Love for the brethren has never been at the top of the Prophetic List, but now seems the appropriate time for it to be moved up a notch.

By any estimate of the timeline of Reality, it's existence in the spiritual realm is questionable, seeing as Eternity is beginning without end, something modern day Prophets and prophecies have undoubtedly failed miserably in comprehending, where their time would be better used in directing lost and wayward people towards the Way of Truth and Life, Jesus Christ.
The Kingdom of God exists in a realm far above man's understanding, yet Christ came as a Prophet foretelling of that day when it would exist and have it's being in the hearts of men. Receptive to HIS WORDs, men are so captivated by the knowledge that Holy Spirit continues revealing the heart of our heavenly Father, further establishing the mindset of Kingdom living, that few fully realize what the Spirit of Prophecy truly is and even less of how it operates in the spiritual realm much less the natural.

Given that Prophets are a vital part of Kingdom movement in the earth, it is Prophesying the impending fate of destruction and severance from the Holy Presence of God that many Prophets of today should spend more time relaying from the throne of God. This is a Truth that was evidenced by the 1st century Believers and will continue as the days are shortened to Christ' return. One WORD of Proclamation going forth of the choice men must make regarding Christ Jesus is worth more in relation to God's Purpose for man, than are unnumbered Prophetic utterances, given so vaguely as having Power to transform a stony heart to fertile soil where the WORD can be Seeded, Nourished and brought to fullness according strictly to the WORDs spoken by Christ Jesus.

All scripture is given for the edification, encouragement and strengthening of both individuals and the corporate Body of Christ. Discerning relativity between the two, often dilutes the worth, yet contextually many argue for the individual and oppose the corporate, based simply upon Paul's encounter with Agabus a prophet. Given the physical nature of what God intended by speaking through Agabus is clear. Diluting the effectiveness because of either the messenger or the recipient's current situation negates completely the value of the prophetic utterance, as the scope of the utterance given is directly subject to the 'heart' of the Prophet.

The future is certain, Eternal and once one has made their choice, it is unlikely a Prophet of today will bring forth the intended conviction due to the fact that God has spoken, Christ Declared and Holy Spirit vigilantly watches over the manifestation with a keen eye to conformity. Rest assured my brethren, nothing mocks God and HIS WORD, for in the moment that occurs, Holy Spirit stands ready to confirm or deny the prophecy in Power as to whether TRUTH is Glorified or the flesh has been appeased.

Find one instance where God gave any of the Apostles or Disciples concise and detailed instruction on something other than that which would bring Honor to HIS Son. Bound by the Authority which Holy Spirit operates under, no Prophet, Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor or Teacher should be considered greater than another, for their anointing is equivalent to being filled with God's enduring WORD, FREE to any who receive with Thanksgiving, nothing held back. Walk by Faith all the days of life, Seek direction only from God's Spirit, Love never failing and one day our eyes will behold the Majesty and Splendor of what Prophecy truly looks like....

Strategic Word for 2010 - by Jeremy Caris

What Did You Do Next Summer?

For several months now, I have been sensing that God was wanting me to release a strategic word concerning 2010. Of course, to write such a thing means that He must first speak to you and you must look to see what He will say to you (Habakkuk 2:1). It's amazing to find that as much as I want to hear, I still occasionally find myself disregarding what He is saying to me. The phrase that I had been repeatedly hearing and brushing off through the last months of 2009 was, "What did you do next summer?" I am sure you notice the apparent contradiction in that question which implies doing the future in the past.

"... the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise." John 5:19 ESV


God has never intended for us to wander through life without direction and purpose. In John 5:19, Jesus revealed that His direction and purpose were defined by our Father. We can know what we are to do because He created us to imitate Him as His representatives in the earth. We need to see what the Father is doing and do likewise. He is already prepared to act and He is laying out individual plans for us to act on. We simply need to study them and resolve now to act on them. That doesn't mean passively agreeing to cooperate, but rather it means counting the cost and running the race inwardly before you even begin to move forward in the flesh. You will know what you did next summer because you will have already seen what the Father is doing and you will have already acted in agreement with His plans in your heart. Then all that remains is to carry it out in the flesh.

 

Prepare NOW!

I saw a scene from an old World War Two movie where strategic plans were being reviewed and studied with great care. There was a sense of the weight of responsibility involved in knowing each one's individual purpose and carrying it out to the best of their ability. Each would play a critical part in the successful execution of a larger battle. I see the summer of 2010 with the significance of the heat of a great battle. It is critical for you to prepare and position yourself appropriately now, to be located where God directs you and to resolve to imitate what you see Him doing. When you are in the middle of battle it is not the ideal time to discover that you need to make major adjustments. Now is the time to study and resolve so that when it matters most you will show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15).

 

A Time of Testing

2010 will be a time of testing but if you allow God to work in you it will result in a revelation of Christ to the world around you for His praise, glory, and honor (1 Peter 1:6-7). Any trial that God allows into our lives is an opportunity for you to put His life and nature on display. Remember: your life is not your own for you were bought with a price. You were crucified with Christ and buried into the baptism of death with Him. Now you have been raised back to life from the dead as a new creation, alive again for God's own glory. Facing a trial should be considered a great honor because God has found you mature enough to face it and succeed. God never sets you up for failure but He will never allow you to remain where you are either (Philippians 1:6). If He allowed His firstborn Son, Jesus Christ to encounter trials, then we will surely follow in His footsteps. Jesus embraced that process and succeeded in His purpose only by going through those times of testing. It is not avoiding testing and trials that produces change toward maturity, but in going through it (Romans 12:2). Therefore, every trial is an opportunity for great joy (James 1:2).

"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12 ESV

 

A Time of Fiery Opportunity

I saw four men in fire, as in Daniel chapter 3. Fire often speaks of trials (1 Peter 4:12), cleansing (Isaiah 4:4), and purging (Malachi 3:2-3). In Daniel 3, King Nebuchadnezzar had ordered the furnace to be heated seven times more than usual and ordered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be tied up and to thrown into the fiery furnace. As they were thrown in the fire, the very men who carried out the intended punishment were killed because of the great heat.

"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” " Daniel 3:16-18 ESV


The things that the enemy plans to use to destroy you in this season will be the very things that bring the goodness of God to the forefront in your life. Do not fear what the enemy may do, but be steadfast and rejoice in what the Lord has already done.

"Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.” "

"Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set aside the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God. Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.” Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon." Daniel 3:24-30 ESV


Not only will God deliver you through fiery trials, but He will also bring glory to His own name as we lay down our very lives in obedience to him. Those who boldly embrace the testing in this season will give God opportunity to reveal his mighty power through their lives which will open doors of opportunity and prosperity.

 

A Time for Becoming a Friend of God

"as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was upon my tent," Job 29:4 ESV


True friends are going to be extremely important in this season, but friendship with God is going to be of utmost importance. Job said that he was in his prime when his life was one of friendship with God. There has been much emphasis in recent years on becoming the bride of Christ, which I absolutely love and embrace in my own life. But I find the Holy Spirit speaking to me lately about being a friend of God. A primary result of remaining steadfast under trial is that it pulls you in to that deeper place of absolute dependence on Him. Beyond having more of God, fulfilling your purpose, ministering to others, or even doing the Fathers will, your greatest purpose is to be a minister to God. That may just sound like the correct thing to say but it becomes a reality in times of testing. God will allow trials to remove everything you depend on more than Him. He will bring you to the place where you realize that nothing matters more than Him having all of you. This is the place where you begin to understand that every bit of your life is meant to be an act of worship. It will take your entire lifetime to fulfill, but those who have come to the personal understanding of this revelation are the ones that I perceive to be friends of God.

 

A Time for Increasing in Favor with God and Man

2010 will be a year for increasing in favor with God and man. I have been seeing "6", which is the number of man (Genesis 1:26-31), and then "1", which is significant of God, who is the beginning of all things (Genesis 1:1). As I meditated on this, the Holy Spirit led me to Isaiah 61 which speaks of the year that the Lord's favor brings not only justice, freedom, and effectiveness, but also prosperity and the favor of man.

"Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers; but you shall be called the priests of the Lord; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast. Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy." Isaiah 61:5-7 ESV

 

In the original Hebrew text for Isaiah 61:7 it basically says "therefore possess double". Doubling is exponential increase, which is multiplication. The Lord is restoring an anointing for multiplication. He has been reminding me of when Elisha asked that a double portion of Elijah's spirit be upon him. After Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind, the sons of the prophets noticed that the spirit of Elijah did indeed rest on Elisha. As the spirit on Elisha exponentially increased, it quickly became evident that he had grown in favor with both God and man. This is a season for the increasing favor on your life to be made evident as you rise up as priests of the Lord and ministers of our God (1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10).

 

Summary

  1. It is critical for you to prepare and position yourself appropriately now, to be located where God directs you and to resolve to imitate what you see Him doing.
  2. 2010 will be a time of testing but if you allow God to work in you it will result in a revelation of Christ to the world around you for His praise, glory, and honor.
  3. The things that the enemy plans to use to destroy you in this season will be the very things that bring the goodness of God to the forefront in your life.
  4. Those who boldly embrace the testing in this season will give God opportunity to reveal his mighty power through their lives which will open doors of opportunity and prosperity.
  5. True friends are going to be extremely important in this season, but friendship with God is going to be of utmost importance.
  6. 2010 will be a year for increasing in favor with God and man.
  7. This is a season for the increasing favor on your life to be made evident as you rise up as priests of the Lord and ministers of our God.

Jeremy longs to see the body of Christ demonstrating both the character and power of Jesus which flows from the surrendered life. His passion is to train and equip the Church to function as the warrior bride of Jesus, fulfilling the original mandate that God gave mankind to extend the rule and reign of His Kingdom throughout all of creation. He operates in a prophetic-teaching anointing with a bold expectation for miracles, healing, signs, and wonders. Jeremy and his wife Mandy live in Knoxville, TN along with their two sons.

When God called Jeremy and Mandy Caris into ministry, He gave them a very clear mandate to carry a key message to the body of Christ about living and walking by the Spirit. As God began orchestrating their lives to model that message, they found themselves primarily focused on living in deep spiritual intimacy with God and then releasing the power and authority of that relationship through their earthly lives.

As a result, Jeremy typically teaches on the deep things of the Spirit in such a way that empowers believers to shift into a lifestyle which releases "on Earth as it is in Heaven". As he ministers, he demonstrates the Kingdom through prophetic ministry, healing, and miracles. He also equips believers to minister prophetically and live in a deep awareness of the spiritual realm through his two schools, "Prophetic Ministry Boot Camp," and "Advanced Prophetic Training".

"ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE" – 2010
A Prophetic Perspective

By Mary Lindow through the Holy Spirit


It seems that with such prolific access to myriads of documents, writings, and
articles, that attempting to communicate spiritual metaphors and insights
received from the heart of God to be shared and hopefully to soften the hearts
of men, has perhaps been reduced to quick sound bites, high impact
statements, and what I would term "Scripture bites".


SO WHAT IS A PRECIPICE?


As I have searched this out knowing that the Lord was communicating
something to me regarding this up-and-coming year, a few small and still
words of instruction, potential, and warning have begun to emerge.
And so. The word precipice


Precipice - a noun


“A very steep rock face or Cliff, typically a tall one”


Figurative – “the country is teetering on the precipice of political anarchy”


The origin of the word comes from the late 16th century denoting a headlong
fall.


In the Latin it means abrupt descent.


This word in a nutshell expresses an anguishing anticipation of what could be a
devastating and shocking “out of control” spin into oblivion, tumbling headlong
into an unknown space, fully out of control, not knowing when the dissent will
end, and if anything will remain once it hits the pull of gravity.


“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
(Off of a precipice)!
Proverbs 16:18


SHAKEN AND STIRRED


The Holy Spirit impressed me the week prior to Christmas of 2009 with this
statement. Shaken AND Stirred.

My mind said, "You Mean, shaken not stirred!"
Again a little while later the same statement was impressed into my spirit man
again.
Shaken AND stirred!


As I pondered this and then began to realize that the Holy Spirit wanted to
impart insights prophetically, combined as well with the word of God,
regarding what His role in working within the hearts of believers looks like at
this juncture in time.


We have heard much about the slumbering, sleepy bride. A somewhat
overgrown, youthful, well-fed bride. Oh! How she LOVES the candlelight, the
romantic spirituality that feeds the soul and emotional longings of one yet to
experience the commitment to a marriage! Everything has the beauty and
sparkle of a fairyland or Disney type of fantasy and fireworks!


Surrounding this young maiden are gifts and beautiful tangible items
reminding her of this youthful celebration of a pledge. The pledge to honor the
one she loves. The gifts that have been given come from those who know that
these will be needed to assist them in their life of growing together towards
becoming one heart, one flesh, a single expression of their own family unit.


There are similar parallels to be fearlessly looked at regarding where and how
the corporate bride of Christ has behaved on many levels. There has been a
new term or word phrase created to address what would often be called a
petulant, whiny, overindulged young woman who is in preparation for the big
blowout wedding day event. The name for this is "Bridezilla”!


The basic picture is until she gets what she wants the way she wants it when
she wants it, anything or anyone in her way gets demolished if it does not
satisfy her need to be fully noticed and celebrated in all of her self planned and
applied concepts as to what a wedding should look like.


The problem is, in real life - the wedding and festivities are only a brief glimpse
of what an actual joining of two in marriage looks like for the long haul.


And so when the party is over and the hard work begins, and yes it's hard work,
the little rifts and storm clouds come to buffet and shape the couple into
maturity.


But if the bride does not want to mature, and desires to be treated like a young
princess, much like the central character in a children's story, "The princess
and the Pea" then no matter how others attempt to cajole or ease her
discomfort, eventually she becomes demanding and unsatisfied regardless of
what is offered to her.


And so the current state of the bride of Christ in it’s majority is one of a moody,
discomforted and unfulfilled mate, waiting for her bridegroom to do for her the
things that she would rather not do for herself, and bring her the comforts that
she needs without having to labor herself.


There are although - those who have paid a devastating and costly price to
shake off slumber and self indulgence, and have stepped out as pathfinders, and
herald loudly the warning about remaining a child and not maturing to the
fullness of God's plan.


SHAKEN….


Imagine the shock, the total disbelief of the five virgins (Matthew 25) who
slumbered and gambled with their futures so flippantly when in their drowsy
and moody state missed the sound that the bridegroom announced, calling
them to come, to travel the road now well lit to a prepared place.


They were shaken! Shaken to the core and in total disbelief that things had
changed and been shaken in their existence so quickly!


They were warned to be ready, but figured just as always they would somehow
be able to manipulate their surroundings and discomforts and find a way to get
their way!


So has it been in the body of Christ the past few years, even though the voice of
The Beloved has warned and shouted out. He has sent prophetic voice after
prophetic voice, teacher after teacher, evangelist after evangelist with a
reoccurring message,

"You prepare the way!
You make the crooked ways straight!
Build up a pathway that you may walk upon to a holy place!


And it will be said:
"Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."
Isaiah 57:14


And yet, the bride went on her merry way expecting to be rescued from her
slumber and folly.


AND BECAUSE OF GOD'S MERCY SHE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SHAKEN


And, shaken and shaken until she awakes from her slumber and selfish
ambition, to arise and become the mature one who walks with her beloved as
her leader and Lord, not as simply a provider of pleasures, fleshly sustenance,
and entertainment.


“See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when
they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn
away from him who warns us from heaven?

AT THAT TIME HIS VOICE SHOOK THE EARTH, but now he has promised,
"Once more I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH BUT ALSO THE HEAVENS."


The words "once more" indicate THE REMOVING OF WHAT CAN BE SHAKEN


That is, created things—SO THAT WHAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN MAY REMAIN.
Hebrews 12 25-27


… AND STIRRED


Indeed, when one is shaken awake from a deep sleep, the adrenaline begins to
pump throughout the body and there is a keen and heightened alertness that
begins to stir the senses.


“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God, which is in you!
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a
sound mind.
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His
prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the
power of God.”
2 Timothy 1:6-8


HAVE YOU BEEN ASHAMED?


Ashamed of what? Ashamed of those who seemingly appear to have had to
endure and persevere through hardship upon hardship? Puzzled,
discombobulated, somewhat befuddled that they continue to be battered and
embattled as they deeply walk out and often grind out the course set before
them?


Sadly. Many have become tired of the “Life of Job” some of their fellow
brothers and sisters had had to painfully live out in full 3D view of all. In the
wickedness of their own arrogance, they have become suspicious, critical and
have held judgment over these who are battling the storms of life.


This is a residing of evil in the soul of anyone who dare judge the condition of
another who is in a season of loss, travail, or transition. The Presence of God
will not visit this wicked type of soul with much peace and the exception will
be with a hammer of conviction and a fiery warning!


“Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
Him will I put to silence;
Whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,
Him will I not endure!”
Psalm 101:5


Imagine Timothy having to be asked if he is ashamed of his brother for having
to go through the sufferings and difficulties in becoming a prisoner of the Lord.
Paul states that he's suffering because of the Gospel and according to the power
of God!


“These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which
perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
1 Peter 1:7


A YEAR OF GOD EXPOSING HYPOCRISY …
…IN THOSE WHO JUDGE FELLOW BELIEVERS


It's no secret that the mainstream media has had a heyday with high profile
personalities who have made claims to be devout Christians and then find them
caught in the acts of extortion, embezzlement, infidelity, tax evasion, and
justification of personal indulgence at the expense of trusting donors.


Those who have given in order to meet “Social status requirements” or
according to those who perform well for them as "spiritual pick me ups" will
find themselves equally miserable and void of the blessing of God, for they have
already received their reward from men.


Deeper and deeper still will the exposing and dissecting sword of the Word of
God separate what is of the flesh claiming to be God, and what is of the Spirit
that is of God.


The folly and arrogance of those who minister with an elitist message will be
brought to such public humiliation that even the hardest atheistic hearts will
cringe at the ruthless mocking they will face.


As the Lord continues to shake out and stir up the dross in the life of each
believer there will be a corresponding stirring again to deep repentance.
Believers will come out of their groggy existence and begin to allow the deep
purging and removal of fleshy perceptions about whom God has blessed and
whom God might use for his glory, and for His purposes.


DEEPER AND YET DEEPER STILL


It will be a year like none other.
The setting forth of a new and fresh openness to God's supreme directions.
A shaking off of youthful folly and petty “scrapping” over who imparts the
greatest message or anointing.


Instead of well planned out speaking rosters for heavily and slickly advertised
conference invitations, there will continue to be spontaneous and Divinely
orchestrated gatherings throughout all nations.


It has already begun in several unannounced convocations.


It is being lit and ignited by the very hand of a Sovereign and brilliantly
strategic God.


Gatherings large and small, in halls, homes, and barns, have become a focus of
God's heart. He indeed has an agenda. It is to call the bride, His beloved, the one
He lavishly spent all of his life's blood upon, to rise up from her slumber and be
shaken and stirred to see that He is beckoning her deeper and yet deeper still
to enter into a place of profound grace, mercy, and safety.


As the cry of repentance from dead works, and foolish masterminding of plans
and programs that only led the bride into morbid obesity is stirred in the hearts
of those ailing and sickened by the results of such overindulgence, deeper and
deeper still will the Spirit of God draw his people into a communion of body,
spirit, and soul with his plan and purpose.


Those that wait upon the Lord in their gatherings, in their brokenness, in their
humility, will begin to experience a hush of holiness falling upon their
gatherings. The hovering presence of the pleasure of God will invade and
permeate the hearts of those who have come simply to fellowship in the power
of His word and the presence of His Holiness.


COMING SOON: THE WAITING FOR - THE WEIGHT OF HIS GLORY


This is not to be confused with what has been termed “The Anointing” or “The
Holy Spirit Falling Upon God’s People.”


Not a whisper, not a sound, not a song, nor a shout will be needed.


I have been in meetings the past year where believers who chose to enter into
epentance and allowed the “Dross work” of God to have full access to every
corner of their souls, where without warning or fanfare, weightiness invaded
the room, the conference, and the meeting halls. It was as if a drenching
tangible mass of warmth and comfort wrapped itself around every human
being present. It mattered not whether they were youthful or stooped over in
the aging of their bodies.


The weight of the very glory and magnificence of the Supreme Being, The
Sovereign One was unmistakable.


Complicit stillness and sweetness flowed into an out of every soul present. All
who were sitting or standing in this weight of glory did not need anyone to tell
them the phenomenon that transcended man's orchestration was happening.


It did not last 5 minutes, 10 minutes, for 15 minutes. It came in waves and
beckoned with the mercy fragrance that only The Still Small Voice can infuse a
room with.


It seems that the more willing the hearts of those in these gatherings who
would simply sit in the weight of this glorious silence, the richer and deeper the
peace became.


And then again, the Sweet song of the Lord we begin to sing out over the people
and the people would begin to sing out the sweet song of repentance and
devotion unto the Lord. It transcended ethnic backgrounds, national or
international expressions, and human languages.


Deeper and yet deeper still His presence, His glory, His weightiness would
hover.


In one such meeting the waiting in His glory, in His presence, waiting upon
Him, lasted for 45 minutes. No one wanted to leave, and no one had any agenda.

“Be still!” the Lord said.

“Be still and know.”

“That I am God!”


2010 HEART WRENCHING REPENTANCE -- SEASON OF REFRESHING


“Repent, then,
And turn to God,
So that your sins may be wiped out,
That times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
Acts 3:19


WHAT BEGAN IN 2009 IS OVERLAPPING INTO 2010


There have been voices in the body of Christ crying out that she must repent for
her sluggishness, smugness, and presumption. These voices will be amplified
and multiplied throughout the year 2010.


There will be required by the Lord, a setting apart in the heart of every
believer.


The call to separate the coarse and dry husks of chaff, suffocating the grain of
their lives, which was meant to be made into the bread of life that others, may
taste of true and sweet communion with the living God.


Deeper and deeper still will the call to shake off slumber, to once and for all lay
down the sins and arrogance that's the easily traps and ensnares the life of the
bride.


The life of each believer will be tested and the dross, the presumption, and
entitlement will be refined away in the lives of those who count themselves as
servants of Christ, not simply fans of Christ.


THE GREATER THE SURRENDER-THE GREATER THE INCREASE OF HIS GLORY


As each member of the body of Christ willingly steps in to the full scan of the
Holy Spirit's convicting radiance, a fresh awakening of the empowering courage
and strength of Christ as the glorious bridegroom will be brought to the
forefront.


He will be the central focus and no longer will the bride lag behind in
adolescent drudgery and laziness.


Wave upon wave of adoration will be lifted up as a love sacrifice to the Beloved
One. And the weight of His glory will shake and rock religious agendas until
they crumble and strip off the need for the noise and glitter that has cluttered
and stifled the rightful honor due unto the King of glory.


When with deliberate consideration, the weight of God’s glory is given full
access to flow as it begins to invade and permeate, be prepared for unbelievers
who may be simply walking by a home gathering, a fellowship service, or a
conference, to be drawn into your gatherings as if wooed or summoned by a
fragrance or sound that they have had move them to go and seek out where it
was coming from. The Lord shall draw them and show them of His might, His
presence, and you shall lead them to Him…


… And they shall find salvation.


LAST INSIGHT AND WARNING


Many are indeed standing upon a precipice, not knowing where to turn or what
to do, and will fall headlong into further disaster if they do not awaken from the
hardness of heart and spiritual presumption that have become companions and
corrupt habits.


Today you have heard His heart; you have heard His voice,
Harden not your heart, and instead quickly heed His voice.


Allow the shaking; willingly permit any condescension, elitism, control,
manipulation, cowardly blame shifting, hateful speech, competition, anger, and
vengeful and revengeful thoughts, to be once and for all purged out of your
soul!


Your very spiritual life depends on what you do when on the edge of a
precipice!


Jump headlong into folly,


Or


Fall into the hands of the living breathing God.


“Take care, brethren,
That there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart
That falls away (headlong off of a precipice) from the living God.”
Hebrews 3:12

2010 A MORE EXCELLENT WAY
By Kriston Couchey

LOSING MY WILL 
In this hour of transition Father is calling His people to die. We are being called to death to our own ways, thoughts, attitudes and actions. This call is to die to our own will and way in order that we might become the full expression of Christ on the earth.  Paul wrote, "It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me." This is not the year of doing FOR Christ, or asking "What would Jesus do?" This is the year to do what He is doing NOW because He is doing it in and through us. Father is not asking us to live our lives for Him, He is asking us to die in order to let Him Live His life out through us. 

How do we get there? Do we determine by an act of our will to be a slave to the will of God and do His every bidding and faithfully obey every command in our own effort and strength? We must to choose in this hour to lose out own wills and do only His. But, the son of the bond woman still has no inheritance with the son of the free. Cast out the son of the bondwomen. 

2010 A MORE EXCELLENT WAY
A slave does not know his masters business and serves out of duty and requirement to fulfill His masters commands. Father is not calling slaves, He is calling sons.  Servants obey the law of the Lord. Sons fulfill the law of the Lord because they have their Father's heart. He is raising sons of His Love that serve because they express and fulfill the law of Love. They become slaves of Love that willingly lay down their lives; just as the Son of Love did 2000 years ago. A new command was given by Jesus, Love one another, and in this you have fulfilled both the law and the prophets. You can follow God because you have to. Or, you can become the fulfillment of Father's desires because they are your own.

I have one task from Father this year so far. That task is to simply forsake all other passions to rest in Father's Love.

Prophetic Directives for 2010—The Year of the Mobilization of the Body of Christ in Europe
 
Netherlands Prophetic Council
 
Arleen Westerhof
Arleen Westerhof

Intro by Arleen Westerhof, Facilitator:

On Wednesday, November 11, 2009, the members of the Netherlands Prophetic Council came together to present the words which God had spoken to them—for the Netherlands for 2010.

We do this annually because:

• God does nothing without first revealing it to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). If the Scriptures make anything clear, it is that God desires to reveal His heart to us and what He wants to do.

• A collective word often carries more authority and gives a more complete picture of what God desires to do than a word brought by a single individual.

• If we know which areas God wants to move in we can partner with Him more effectively by initiating new projects in these areas.

This document is a compilation of these words.

The words were tested before publication by prophets both inside and outside of the Netherlands. We especially want to thank Dr. Sharon Stone and Stacey Campbell for being willing to be part of this process.

We are aware of the prophecies from other parts of the world which refer to global famine and other natural and manmade disasters. Amidst all of this however, there is a unique window of opportunity for Europe and for the Netherlands that we cannot afford to miss. As such, we have chosen to focus on topics related to this window of opportunity.

This year we have included prayer points at the end of each theme. As you read these words, we ask you to pray for them regularly. We expect that as you do, God will give you revelation as to what you can do to help advance His Kingdom in Europe and in the Netherlands.

With thanks to the members of the Netherlands Prophetic Council,

Arleen Westerhof
Facilitator, Netherlands Prophetic Council

2010—The Year of the Mobilization
of the Body of Christ in Europe

At the beginning of 2009, God gave a vision of the Body of Christ lined up like an army on every continent of the earth. This was not the Body of Christ that we had been used to seeing. This army was composed of the young and the old, and of men and women, who were dressed and ready for battle. There were no injured among their ranks. Everyone knew what their assignment was and who they needed to follow. Everything was completely silent. It was obvious that they were waiting for something to happen.

All of a sudden, a trumpet sounded and the ground began to shake as the armies began to march forward. Nothing could stand in their path. They walked over the waters of the oceans, and they were unstoppable. Months later, some of us were present at a meeting in which we experienced the start of the fulfillment of this vision in Europe.

2010 will be the year in which we see the Body of Christ mobilized in Europe. Europe is currently the only continent on the earth without a major move of God. This is about to change.

God has prepared a people who will take His Kingdom into the world. It is a people who have Him as their first love, who are filled with compassion and acts of justice and who do not compromise. The strategies that He gives in this season will be used to bring the Netherlands and Europe back into line with His plans. In addition to "evangelism" and "remaining in the tent of intimacy," "occupation" and "taking the high places" will become important themes in the Body of Christ this year.

Prayer Points:

• That God will give divine strategies as to how to occupy and to take the high places in the arts, business, the media, politics, culture, education and religion.

• That God would cause His people to stand up and to start to execute these strategies.

The Church Awakening

One of the council members had a vision of the Church in the Netherlands. It looked like an old woman sitting on a park bench, bowed over and leaning on her walking stick. She's sleeping and is totally unaware of the violence, abuse, and injustice happening all around her. While she sleeps, ungodly foundations are being laid and structures are being erected. "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way" (Matthew 13:25).

We hear God saying, "The Sleeping Beauty is about to be kissed and awakened." The awakened Church will arise and shine as she brings the Kingdom of God into the world where it can be seen and experienced. To those who do this, God says, "You will see signs and wonders in a greater way than before, because the new wine is also for the world."

Prayer Points:

• That God would wake up the Church in the Netherlands.

• That God would raise up watchmen intercessors who are alert and who know how to intervene in prayer when the enemy tries to sow tares among the wheat.

• That God would give wisdom and strategies as to how to cut off the tares that have already been sown so that God's purposes for this season will not be contaminated, delayed or aborted.

• One of the tares that God is highlighting is that of "false unity." It is a unity based on being exclusive. God's heart is inclusive (Numbers 11:29). Beware of a heart attitude which says, "If you are not part of our group, then you are not part of what God is doing." God wants to use every denomination and stream in this season.

A New Visitation and a Window of Opportunity

God is starting to visit the Netherlands with His glory and with His fire. It's a new fire and a new visitation. It will not look like what we have known in the past. "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing" (Isaiah 43:18, 19). This will be a season of acceleration as the "plowman...overtakes the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows seed" (Amos 9:13).

The book of Jonah is significant. 2010 will be a year in which God offers Europe and the Netherlands a unique window of opportunity. The threat of judgment will be present because the cup of sin is full, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" (Jonah 3:4). In many places however, judgment will be transformed into mercy as people respond and repent as the word of God is spoken—"So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them" (Jonah 3:5). God wants to pour out His mercy in places where we least expect it. This is good news!

Prayer Points:

• Continue to cry out to God for His visitation in this season.

• For repentance of sins both individually and collectively.

The Prayer Movement and
Large Scale Prayer Gatherings

If there ever was a time for us to humble ourselves and pray, it is now. Since the Netherlands is the door to continental Europe, there is more at stake than only our own interests. Several of us heard the Lord say that it is time to "consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land and cry out to the Lord" (Joel 2:15, 16).

Last year we prophesied that the momentum of the prayer movement in the Netherlands would increase. This is precisely what happened. This increase in momentum will continue into 2010 and will be evidenced by an increase in the number of mass prayer meetings as God's people humble themselves and come together to pray. Several of us heard God say that it is time for a "Call" in the Netherlands.

Prayer Points:

• That God would bless the initiatives being taken to organize large scale prayer events in 2010.

• That He would cause national leaders to be able to put aside their differences and work together.

Taking Responsibility in Warfare and
Radical Worship

Even though we will start to see God's glory poured out in an unprecedented measure this year, that doesn't mean we won't have to fight. We have given away much ground to the enemy which will need to be retaken. We must learn to use our spiritual weapons (Ephesians 6:10-18).

The Commander of the army of the Lord is in the land. When He appeared to Joshua before the battle of Jericho, He didn't choose sides: "And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, 'Are you for us or for our adversaries?' So He said, 'No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come'" (Joshua 5:13b, 14). Instead, He brought it to Joshua's attention that God was present, "Then the Commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, 'Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.' And Joshua did so" (Joshua 5:15). Joshua's response of worship was the only appropriate response.

God is highlighting aggressive, spontaneous worship in which the glory of God and His Kingship are proclaimed over our nation(s) as an important weapon of warfare in 2010.

Prayer Points:

• That God would put worship and warfare back onto the agendas of His people.

• That God would raise up musicians and singers gifted with the ability to release a sound in worship that will push back the enemy and expand the Kingdom of God.

The Fear of the Lord and Holy Ghost Activism

The fear of the Lord will also be an important key in helping God's people overcome in 2010. The fear of the Lord will break the power of the fear in which many are caught up and imprisoned. The fear of the Lord will cause us to reverence God and His Word above all else. It will cause us to obey God even when to do so would be to our own harm (Acts 5:29). The fear of the Lord is an important key in defeating the spirit of Jezebel in many of our cities. It will lead to Holy Ghost activism as Believers stand up and speak out for what is right.

Prayer Points:

• That God would pour out the fear of the Lord on His people.

• That God would raise up a fearless generation who will offer divine solutions to societal problems and who speak out against injustice.

Amsterdam en Rotterdam

We believe that God is going to do surprising things in Amsterdam and in Rotterdam this year in the area of cooperation. This will be especially evident in joint projects between churches, the police corps in both cities and other government and non-governmental organizations.

Prayer Point:

• That God would end the enmity between these two cities.

Word of the Lord for the Year 2010 - Phyllis Ford

This is a compilation of the Words that the Lord began to share with me in the months of October-December. Those that are in quotes are exactly as it was spoken, others were visions, and others were direct words spoken to me. My prayer is that the content of this word can be worked through and prayed through during the course of this year. However, word study and prayer over these prophetic utterances indicate to me that we are entering into a process for us to ultimately come into the place that God wants us individually, as a body of believers, as kingdom participants of a mighty government as well as those who will enter in this coming year. This is a sober time of seeking Him, knowing Him, and obeying Him.
“I will bring divine order out of chaos and turmoil in this year of 2010. You will see a new movement arising out of the midst of uncertainty and trouble in the land. I will establish my way and establish my covenant before my people, so that they may walk uprightly before me. And I will fully establish my government in the land from kingdom leadership who will do my bidding and follow my mandates, so that the principles that I have established before the foundation of the earth will be fulfilled. You will see in this year greed and avarice reach an all time high in the present government in order to strengthen men positions. But I, the Lord, will establish my righteousness in the hearts of my people. I will bring balance to the government’s hidden agenda with kingdom strategies and kingdom answers. So that what will be lacking in the world’s perspective will be achieved through kingdom directives. So prepare your hearts to do my bidding and to fulfill the assignments that you will walk out as I instruct you in the way you should go.”
Judgment at the House of the Lord: “I will turn this nation around and I will begin with the leadership in the house of the Lord. There will be those who will no longer continue in ministry, because I will be sitting them down. For I have judged them and assessed them. Some will refuse to obey until they realize that no matter what they do--- they will not be able to continue on, because I have the final say on their ministries and they will no longer be able to accomplish anything because my hand will not be upon them. And there will be those who will live again, preach again, because out of the ashes of their lives I will begin to carve out a new chapter, and they will grow and flourish like a young tender tree with branches extending over and all will eat and be blessed by these trees, because I will reorder and reestablish men’s lives so they can live again, says the Lord. So when you see these things don’t be frustrated, for I will show and direct my people and reveal to them great truths, and it will all make sense. Walk my path, do my will, and let me make you whole”, saith the Lord.
The trouble concerning Israel: The Lord says, there will be bombings right outside the Gaza Strip so much so that the land will be destroyed and the history of that region will be marred by the anger that was sent out with those bombs---there will be much fighting and bloodshed, but America will arise and befriend her again, so that she can be once more protected, but it will only be temporary---then more destruction will come. More treaties will come later in the year, but the peace will be temporary. “Will you not cry out for her? Will not the frustration of my people cry out for justice, resolve, and peace?”
“New leadership will arise out of Israel, and many will believe that they are followers of truth, but it will be the beginning of a great deception coming out of that land that will make way and preparation for the spirit of anti-Christ.”
A fresh wind for Canada. “Canada shall become a battleground: for there will be a fight amongst principles between those that represent me and those who represent evil. Many will rise to the occasion and fight for rights of the righteous and new standards will be established,” says the Lord. “A new fresh wind will blow through Canada and the young will usher in my presence.”
America under Judgment: “And the policies that will be established in this time will only be for the advancement of a few - only benefit a few. For the greed and avarice that is in this land has become corrupt to the core, and they will not change: until they see destruction and mayhem, until there is blood in the streets of a city from the frustration of those who are without food, and anger because there is no justice in the land. Many people have no idea how close the time is. The selfishness of this nation is at an all-time high, and this land will be judged. For I will shift nations and there will be a rising up of a people and a great humbling of another. This will be determined by my righteousness and those who waited on me shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk not faint.”
The first six months of this coming year will carry threats of upheaval and terrorism. “Many will say ‘this is the end’ and great repentance will come forth. Those whom I will anoint will arise and challenge the nations to come unto me and return unto me. During this time, I will come in visitations, dreams, and to those who seek me for instructions; through these encounters many will lives will be changed and transformed.  Out of prayer, revivals will come - true revival - and there will be major breakthrough with miracles, signs, and wonders. Vigils of prayer will increase around the nations and great salvation to the lost will come forth out of this movement of prayer and intercession.” (I saw a vision of a sea of people praying fervently.)
Concerning the measuring with the plumbline, [Amos 7:7-8 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. And the Lord said unto me, Amos what seest thou? And I said A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.]  In my assessment of this nation, it has been found at fault, and the responsibility lies at the door of the church. Instead of crying out for repentance, there has been too much of doing business as usual; and now in the eleventh hour, all has come before me, and the time for establishing my rule and reign has begun. Water shortages will run rampant due to the poisoning of water filtering systems with chemicals, and many will perish before it is caught. Security systems are faulty and careless, and as a result many things will happen because of major breeches in the system. Security will become almost like a police state, and that will become the standard in the land because of the rise of terrorism.” 
“Anti-Christ systems will become present this year in very subtle forms and ways not just through government policies but in takeovers of leadership in various nations. Some countries will wake up to even worst leadership than they have now, only to find out that the nations that they reside in represent a ‘goat’ nation. And other nations will be led by Godly leadership as ‘sheep’ nations. The goat nations will impose more control over the people concerning their livelihood and whom they worship as well as other issues. You will see a rising up of persecution in the church like never before, says the Lord. Nations will rise up and fight against nations, but policies will not be the only issue - but whom each country represents spiritually will be the greatest issue.”
“Chemical weapons will come in the form of new strains and viruses, and a large number of people will be affected in various regions. (I felt that the east would be the first amongst those that would be affected.) But, the Lord said that He has placed researchers and those in the medical field that will find cures for many of them. There will be a strain that will evolve into a greater strain, which will set fear in the hearts of the people; the Lord will bring us through.”
The Lord said that there have already been awesome medical breakthroughs in cancer and cell regeneration in 2009, but the full disclosure of some of these cures have been withheld, so that under the administration of a new system, these cures will be made available at a more valuable price. When, truthfully, they could be cheaper and more readily available to the public. This all has to do with the greed within this nation from leadership that is politically motivated. The medical industry, pharmaceutical suppliers, and the insurance industry all have an equal responsibility in this, because they are also motivated by greed.
A vision of garments: I saw a vision of garments of all colors. The Lord spoke to me and said that there will be a gathering, a shifting, and an exchanging of garments in 2010. He told me that the garments represented callings with specific assignments, and had to do with key positioning involving His people. The gathering of the garments will have to do with his people gathering and working in unity, so that divine purposes can be accomplished. The shifting of garments has to do with taking on the new assignments and levels that his people will embark upon this year. The exchanging of garments represent His people completing assignments. Those that have served their assignments well will now pass their garments onto those who are ready to wear them as they continue to take up the assignments that are given, and in this fashion the work of the Lord will continue. Occupy ‘til I come, the Lord says. New assignments will be given to those who have accomplished their work and passed their test. New rankings, levels of authority and positions, will be given to those who are ready to move forward to take on new assignments.  
The old New Years’ perspective must change: People are usually eager to go into the new year with the mentality of wiping the slate clean and starting the year anew, but the Lord said this is not so. He said that we will walk into the New Year needing to complete and deal with the things we last worked on in 2009 before embarking on something new. If we haven’t completed old matters, then they will come up again in 2010 and must be set in order. We won’t receive new assignments until old ones are complete. So during the first two weeks of January, we should go over everything: do a thorough and complete inventory and tie up all loose ends. Even pray and ask God “Is there something else that I need to complete now, so that I can continue to move on to accomplish your will, Oh Lord?” The Lord said that His grace and overcoming anointing will be there to assist us along the way. And those who are stubborn and refuse to grow and refuse to do the things necessary to move forward will receive stiff consequences and literally some of their worlds (as they see it) will come crashing down.
Our most dangerous enemy will be ourselves. Allowing our flesh to reign instead of making Jesus our Lord will be our greatest undoing. Our land is about to be judged because of the pride and ego of man refusing to acknowledge the ways of the Lord, and as a result it has come up before Him. They are so-called systems of self. We must be cautious to not fall into the deception of believing our own greatness. For we have no greatness in us other than Christ our Savior. We must keep His teachings and watch revelation that is really deceptively subtle and makes us think that we are great within ourselves. The elevation of man’s ego is one of the greatest enemies to God. When we determine in our own minds and hearts what we should do without regard for God’s will and word---we build a system within ourselves that will justify our flesh and find reasons to rebel against the plan of God in our lives.
High-Level gang activityI had several vivid disturbing visions of gang activity and execution-style murders happening in neighborhoods throughout many cities. There were outbreaks of fighting that made being safe on the streets very dangerous business. Most of the fighting was between Hispanics and blacks over territory and illegal activity.
2010, The power of ten: This year 2010 has great significance. The number means divine order and the Lord revealed to me that there is much revelation within the number ten within the scriptures. “Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.” (notice the chapter and verse—2010—word of the Lord November 2009) it represents a new order of numbers---perfect numbers lacking nothing, nothing over, it is represented in the system of order---and that everything is in its proper order. 10 commandments, 10 lepers, 10 righteous, 10 passovers in God’s word, 10 generations (which was the age before the covenant before the flood from Adam to Noah). So we are going to see God’s order established in the year 2010. The Lord told me that this would be a year that the government would go through much upheaval before it comes into order, but order will be established in this year. But this is also the year that the government of God will begin to come together and be set in order.
The answer to those who are weary and need direction The Lord said, “Start over again, and I will help you restore your lives. There is so much to do and very little time to do it. You must forget those things that are behind and reach toward those things that are before --- press for the mark of the prize of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus. I will show you the way. I will give you light and revelation---and I will tell you why you must begin again. Start with your relationship with me and go from there. I will direct you and you will know without a shadow of a doubt that you are going in the right direction. I will open the door and walk you into great favor, so that you can be restored,” saith the Lord.  
Remember December 2009 WOTL words concerning Open Heaven encounters.For I will open the heavens and even open doors in the heavens to prepare my people a gateway into higher realms of my anointing for healing and deliverance---I will bring hundreds even thousands into the kingdom in one sweep. Look for me and look for my plans for I am beginning to take this land and many other regions by storm (between now and January 2011); and I will pour out my spirit, and I will usher in my people to a new exciting life in kingdom righteousness. Major people groups and regions will be positioned and prepared for visitations, liberation, and a fresh new move not orchestrated by man but ordained of me, says the Lord. Some of these will be when people least expect it. I will cover the atmosphere with my presence and they will all know that they have experience time with the Lord. There will be miracles, there will be restoration and the increase of my kingdom shall come, for the time is near, and the work of the Lord shall come forth mightily. So open your heart and open your eyes, so that you may experience "This new day anointing".

2010—A Year of Restoration
 
Carol Kelley
 
Carol Kelley

In early November 2009 the Lord told me, "2010 will be a year of restoration." Restoration of what has previously been lost will come about on many levels, both for individual Believers and the Church worldwide. Watch expectantly for God's restoration and increase to take place during the coming months in relationships, health, faith, families and finances. Have you given up hope that the Lord would fulfill a dream or vision He has given you? Look to Him to restore, revive and bring to pass dreams that have died, been lost, abandoned or broken.

Throughout the fall and early winter of 2009, the Lord has spoken to me no less than 70 times about restoration. Here is a summary of what He said:

"I have plans for double restoration. There has been much testing, but there will be restoration. I am keeping hope alive in you. I am redeeming time and relationships; I am building and preparing. I am the Lord; is anything too difficult for Me? (Jeremiah 32:27)

"Have complete faith in Me. I am giving you grace; I am redeeming situations for My purposes. Restoration is coming; believe My promises. Yes, restoration of relationships is coming. I will open doors; you will see My promises come to pass! Fuller revelation is coming, as well as the fulfillment of every promise.

"I will bring restoration; don't give up hope. I can still redeem your situations. Hang in there during these transitions; things are almost there! Yes, this has been a time of testing, but also of redemption, grace and mercy. This testing will end in victory. Keep praying, believing, and looking to Me. Receive and walk in My grace and rest."

"I Have Plans for Full Restoration—Don't Retreat!"

Then on New Year's Eve, the Lord said to me:

"Don't give up during this time prior to increase and full restoration. I will give you a full measure of My blessing.

"Rest in Me (Psalm 37:7); don't fret because of the wrongs others are doing (Psalm 37:1). Trust in Me and continue doing good (Psalm 37:3). Don't retreat; continue to stand firm, rooted in Me. Continue your acts of faithfulness.

"Delight yourself in Me. I know the desires of your heart, and will honor them (Psalm 37:4). Commit your way to me; trust in Me (Psalm 37:5). I will act on your behalf. I will vindicate your trust in Me and your faithfulness (Psalm 37:6).

"Learn to rest in Me, learn to wait patiently for Me (Psalm 37:7), learn to not worry. Trusting Me doesn't always come easily for you. I know and understand this, and am working with you to help your faith grow. I don't condemn you for your struggles, but I am calling you forth to a new level of faith. I have proved My faithfulness to you over and over, and am inviting you to trust Me in a new way.

"Don't give up hope. I know the desires of your heart, and am at work. I am giving you grace and mercy in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Full restoration is coming, and My glory will be revealed in this process. Never, never, never give up! I will keep My promises to have testing end in victory. Do not be discouraged during these trials; they will end in victory. I have plans for full restoration.

"I am working things together for your good (Romans 8:28). I am having mercy on you; My love for you is everlasting (Jeremiah 31:3). I will never fail you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6, 8; Joshua 1:5; Hebrews 13:5). I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20)."

2010 A YEAR OF BREAKTHROUGH

by Bill Burns

The following is what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me about what will take place in the Church in 2010. (John 16:13)

The number 5 is God's number for grace (strength, empowerment and blessing), so ten is the number of double grace. A double portion will be available to God's people in 2010. Romans 5:2 tells us that "we have access by faith into this grace." Therefore, every person should establish himself in a position of faith to receive a double portion of God's grace that is now being released.

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: I'm giving you an extra measure of grace. I will exert My holy influence over your life to strengthen you and bolster your faith, says the Lord. If you will discern it, you will find and enjoy the unusual fragrance of My company. Receive with joy, and bask in the sweetness of My presence. Come and find your delight and rest with Me. 2 John 1:3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

In 2009, the year of fullness, some Christians began to exercise a fuller and more complete faith. However, many in the Body of Christ went through a crisis of faith because of hardship of the circumstances that they found themselves in.

Fractured Faith
The Lord used the term "fractured faith" to describe the condition of many of His people. This is what I saw:
People were praying by holding up bowls (representing faith) with their prayers inside the bowls (Revelation 5:8). However, when they lifted the bowls up before the Lord, the bowls fractured and then fell apart. The prayers then fell out of the bowls because they had no faith to support them.

Then, I had an understanding that these were Christians who knew the Word of God, and they knew that faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). They also knew that faith works through love (Galatians 5:6).

So these were those whose faith should have worked, but didn't. So, I asked the Lord why , and He said it was because of the intensity and length of the battle that many had been worn out and had become discouraged.

I then asked how one recovers their faith when they already know the Word and love God, but their faith is fractured.

Faith's Restoration
I saw the Holy Spirit come as the Wind and pick up the pieces of the bowls and restore them by cementing them back together, and He said, "This is My gift to the people of faith."

And, He said, "This is the process of the restoration of faith."

1. Repent for discouragement because it gives birth to doubt, and whatever is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)

2. Call on the name of Jesus because He is the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Ask Him to restore your faith and to send the Holy Spirit to you. (John 16:7)

3. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the Gift of Faith (1 Corinthians 12:9). This is the faith that restores. It is God's faith and not man's. This is the faith that becomes the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) 2010 will become the year of the restoration of faith if this God-given plan is followed. "Ask and it shall be given." (Matthew 7:7)

Small Straws by Marsha Burns: I am not a God who cannot see or understand the tests and trials that you have endured. I see, and I have sustained you through the trouble, for I am with you. And now, today, I pronounce a blessing on you -- a tangible blessing; just open your heart to receive, says the Lord. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

A Year of Breakthrough
The number 10 also signifies the perfection of divine order. The following is a word that the Lord gave me concerning His "divine order" for 2010:

The Trumpet: That which I give you shall become completely yours because that is My heart towards you, that you fully possess the kingdom that I have translated you into. So get ready for this new year. For indeed it shall be a year of triumph for many and it shall be a year of overcoming because it will be known as the year of the breakthrough of those who follow Me. Zion's path has already been established. Follow it. Follow it through My word as led by the Spirit. For all things will manifest at Zion. Come then, I say,  My children to that mountain. Come to the mountain that transfigures you, changes you. Come and see, come and taste, come and dine, come enjoy that which I am about to do, says the Lord.

The Lord told me that He was going to give us a "new centering point" to work from. This will be a new point of entrance into the supernatural realm of the kingdom.

The Holy Spirit will move us and center us in a position that aligns with heavenly portals. This is much like your satellite television dish, which must be perfectly aligned with the satellite so the signal can be received. As we enter into the heavenlies through these portals, we will see more clearly into God's purposes than we ever have before. Out of the portal experiences visions, dreams, and prophetic words will be more revealing than ever before.

We will break through into a higher spiritual order than we have known. As these portals are established, angelic visitation will occur more frequently. These experiences will quicken our faith and establish such a spiritual reality of the kingdom that we will begin to have breakthroughs on all levels. Breakthroughs will occur most frequently in our finances and in health issues first and then in other areas.

The Lord of the Breakthrough is coming in this year to lead His people into victory, which will result in the recovery of those things lost.

A Year of Recovery
The thief has been relentless in this season, and he has stolen from many of God's children. Nevertheless, the Lord is calling 2010 a year of recovery. He is speaking to us in the same way that He spoke to David in 1 Samuel chapter 30. While David and his men were away from camp, the enemy came and stole the women, children, and belongings. David was discouraged when his men blamed him and wanted to stone him.

The Path to Victory:
1. Like David, we must learn to overcome discouragement by encouraging ourselves in the Lord.

2. David inquired of the Lord, and God said, "You will without fail recover ALL." And, He is saying this to us!

3. David pursued the enemy. Recovery will come because of spiritual warfare. David attacked the enemy and recovered all that had been taken from him and more.

This will be a year of recovery for those who will do spiritual warfare and demand the return of that which has been lost. Have you lost your health? Have you lost your finances? Or, has it been something else? Do you want those things stolen? Then, go to war, and you will recover all!

A Year of Equipping
Last year the Lord told me that 2009, 2010 & 2011 would be years of equipping. We are being equipped with more of the authority of the Lord to defeat the enemy.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

This is one of the reasons that so many people had a hard time in 2009. Equipping takes place in adversity. In other words, adversity is the playing field of equipping. In fact, adversity is necessary for spiritual growth. Adversity is the opposing force against one's growth. Adversity is trouble, persecution and tribulation that comes against us. "We must, through many tribulations, enter the Kingdom of God." (Acts 14:22)

We are leaving the Church Age (age of compromise), and we are being moved prophetically into the Kingdom Age (rule of Christ). In doing so, we are going to encounter more opposition from Satan. He does not want us to have the kingdom authority that we are being equipped with.

If we want to be equipped with Christ's authority, then we must embrace the adversity.

Romans 5:3-4 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;  and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

The enemy will come, but do not fear because the Lord will come to us in His glory.

Isaiah 59:19  So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

The word "standard" here means to establish a way of escape, to cause to disappear or hide.

We will be hidden by the glory of the Lord as He comes to fight with and for us so that we can receive His authority. I believe that this next move of God's glory will be seen in the West - west of Jerusalem, in the United States.

The cry of the Spirit in this time of equipping is: Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.  For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.

Allow the Lord to equip you. Embrace the adversity by trusting in the Lord to protect you. Walk in the glory, and grow in your authority. It is your destiny.

A Year of the Tithe
The tithe is a tenth part of our income that we give to honor the Lord and those who do His work. In this year of 2010, God is going to honor those who tithe. He spoke these words to me: "I am going to honor those who honor Me with their giving. The benefits of the tithe will be multiplied and amplified in this year. Give, and it will be given back to you as it is written."

Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

God's benefits of the tithe:
Malachi 3:10-11 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field," Says the LORD of hosts.

Some would say tithing is not a New Testament principle, but what did Jesus say in the New Testament? In Matthew 23:23 He said tithing is something "you ought to have done".

Some would say that tithing was part of the law and was eliminated when Jesus fulfilled the law. However, tithing was part of Abraham's covenant with God (see Genesis 14:20) before the law, and the law could not "annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ". (Galatians 3:17)

Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Instruction - do not give your tithe because you have to, but because you want to give to the Lord with great joy.

2 Corinthians 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

When you tithe, wrap it up with faith, and then release it with joy, expecting God to bless you because of your obedience. God will then rebuke the devourer on your behalf and pour out His blessing upon you.

Financial recovery will take place for many in 2010 because of the tithe.

Mysteries Revealed
2010 will be a year when mysteries will be revealed. Some of the things that God ordered in 2009 have not been understood. However, revelation of God's purposes that took place in our circumstances will be fully understood in 2010, and the benefits of those changes will be received this year.

The Lord usually gives me a chapter in His word that reveals that which will take place in the coming year. This year I was given Revelation chapter 10. In chapter 10 the apostle John hears seven thunders that spoke.

Revelation 10:4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them."

The seven thunders are mysteries yet to be revealed prior to the seventh trumpet.

Revelation 10:7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

The seven thunders may reveal seven distinct mysteries, but I believe they will be more than that. I say this because seven is God's number of perfection brought to completion. I believe that the seven thunders represent the voice of the Lord that reveals many hidden things.

The book of Revelation is a book of sevens (completion) in which God finishes (through Jesus Christ) all things that pertain to His creation. Therefore, I believe that a multitude of mysteries concerning the lives of believers will be revealed.

These revelations will set them free from bondages, reveal their purpose, release their gifting, and many other things.

Mysteries will be revealed that will give direction to the Church (corporately), and mysteries will be revealed personally for individual believers.

2010 will be a year of mysteries revealed, mysteries that will give wisdom and direction, much of which will come prophetically.

In verse 11, John is told that he must prophesy again. Prophets, do you see this? Many of you have been silenced by the enemy. But, God says that you must prophesy again.

The gift of prophecy will become more revealing in these days. We are living in the days of divine announcement. Will you listen, hear, and speak?

These are those things that I was shown for 2010. May you have a blessed and prosperous year!

2010 The Year of the Wall - Roger Reeder
Roger & Hope Reeder / Praise Alive Ministries, Inc
Jan 10, 2010



2010 The Year of the Wall

by Roger Reeder



The year 2009 was interesting and for most very difficult. A year that for many of us, not having to go through it, would have been considered a blessing. But since we did and we survived, we can take on 2010 with the greatest passion for God.




Many times at the beginning of the year God speaks to me as to what He wants me to speak about that year as Hope and I minister in many different places. I had no reason to believe this year would be any different except God impressed on me the urgency to get this word out before we started traveling. As I conversed with the Lord, I said I am sure everyone already knows and understands this, but it became very clear that no matter if they do it is very important that it be re-emphasized.



The Lord took me to the book of Nehemiah. He said this is the year of the wall. This is the year that the Nehemiah spirit will become very real in the lives of the Body of Christ. This is the year the Body of Christ will become anointed to say as Nehemiah said to the king, 'Let me rebuild the wall of my people.' Nehemiah 2:5 The king allowed this and it was accomplished. Our King is saying to us to do the same. Re-build the wall so that there is a separation between good from evil.



To accomplish this, the Lord said He is going to bring His alignment to the Body. A body that is out of alignment is usually in pain and cannot hear or function to full capacity because it is focused on self. To re-build this wall the Body of Christ must hear clearly and respond to full capacity. Get ready to feel stronger and hear more clearly than you ever have for the Lord is aligning you.



There are several key points in the book of Nehemiah that relate very much to where we are today and gives insight to what God will do this year for His people. In that day, people were struggling to stay alive, contending with high mortgages, forced to pay undue taxes, and being hit with high interest. They also were dealing will corrupt government officials. Nehemiah 5



God touched the heart of Nehemiah to do something about this and he did. The first thing was to Repent for the sins of his people. The Body of Christ has been crying out in repentance and is continuing to do so as never before. God has awakened us and touched our hearts to do something about the fallen wall and we will do our part, this year!



As Nehemiah we will declare, God no longer scatter us, your people, as to what we believe about You. Forgive us and now join us together in right alignment that the wall is rebuilt between good and evil. Let it be said, 'we will separate ourselves from our enemy.' Nehemiah 1:8-9



Because the wall has been weak even the little foxes caused it to crumble. This year the prayers and obedience of Body of Christ will speak volumes as we acknowledge good as good and evil as evil. You will no longer go back and forth between good and evil. This year 2010, God is going to rebuild your gates (eyes, ears, nose & mouth) and set guards and allow to pass through only what He has for you.



The Lord is saying as in the day of Nehemiah (one body), the Church (one Body) will come together and declare to the King of Kings, 'Hear my prayer and heed the prayers of those of us who delight to honor you. Anoint us to rebuild the walls of safety for us, our children and our children's children.' Nehemiah 1:11 Not only will the Lord hear your prayer but He will anoint you with wisdom and He will give unto you abundant provision to accomplish great things in a time that would appear to be otherwise.



The king provided Nehemiah with provisions to rebuild the wall. God gave Nehemiah great wisdom to do this while defeating his enemies at the same time. Once the wall was complete, Nehemiah regularly fed 150 Jewish officials and visitors from other countries. Nehemiah accepted no money from the people. This was quite a contrast to the former leaders who had demanded food, wine and cash daily from the people. God provided for Nehemiah because his heart was pure toward God and the people. Yes and amen for the same in the year 2010. Nehemiah 5:15-17



Nehemiah completed the last phase of the wall in 52 days. A task that could only be accomplished by the hand of God. Nehemiah 6:15 In 2010 the super natural Power of God, through his people, will restore in 52 days or weeks what evil has been tearing down for decades. Nehemiah surveyed and strategized in the dark what would manifest in the light. The year 2009 was a year of darkness for many. Yet in this time God was placing in you strategy for 2010. You didn't know it at the time. You thought you were nothing more than a cup bearer. Well, get ready to build this year for the Nehemiah spirit has settled upon you. A spirit that says to the King, 'let me be the one to rebuild the wall of my people' with a heart-felt passion that says if I don't do it, it won't get done!



The number 52 is extremely significant in God's time table this year. In 52 day increments throughout this 52 week year, God will rebuild his Divine People, Power and Provision. Get ready! Receive it now! See as God sees and imagine what this year is going to be as God supernaturally releases the Nehemiah spirit upon the Body of Christ! It will be...



The Greatest Move of God Ever on the Face of the Earth!

The Next Decade: A New Generation of Blessings, Entrepreneurs, and Creative Expression will Emerge
 
Mark Chironna
 

We are standing as it were at the banks of the Jordan, and generational shift is occurring as it did with Moses and Joshua and as it did with Elijah and Elisha. The crossing of the Jordan is about a shift in the economy of God and the administration of the move of God. A generation that was rooted in warring for survival is passing off the scene and a generation more open and more capable of facing the unfolding of the future and warring for possession of their inheritance—not merely as individuals, rather more importantly as tribes—is going to emerge. Whether we use the metaphor of the Ark of the Covenant going ahead of us being carried on the soft shoulders of the priests or we use the metaphor of the mantle of the prophet being used to part the watersa threshold is going to be crossed in the coming days as we've entered this new decade.

The SPEED OF CHANGE (Daniel 12:4) will increase at a rapid level in the coming era and we will experience radical acceleration into the new and unexplored dimensions of the Word and the Spirit as we are strategically prepared, strategically postured, and strategically positioned for what wants to emerge out of the invisible into the visible relative to Kingdom expansion and enlargement.

Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.

Blessings for a New Generation

With strategic preparation (as in the lives of the children born in the wilderness who enter the land and now are told to prepare provision for a crossing over in three days, and the dealings of God with Elisha in Abel-meholah where the mantle will fall upon him while he is plowing, which is the first step in harvesting), and strategic posturing (which for the generation under Joshua required a fresh circumcision and cutting of the flesh, and for Elisha a sacrifice of everything he had ever worked for in order to pursue the calling inherent in the mantle which had already fallen upon him; both metaphors describing the fresh and radical embrace of the crucified life and the cauterizing power of the Cross which releases the power and glory of the throne), and strategic positioning (following the first two stages, the tribes will find themselves in the right place at the right time)—there will be the opening of strategic portals, gateways and places of access and transition and change (both of which will be constant in the coming days) that will, for those ready to adapt with precision and skill, open up avenues of rich and fertile resources and blessings held in trust for this new generation.

For those who long for the nostalgia of past days of glory, there will be a brief period of what looks like a return to a former day in the move of God, as it were when the sons of the prophets begged Elisha that they seek out the whereabouts of the departed Elijah (which also was a short three-day journey, the invitation being to die to a former move, bury it as part of something complete, and rise to the new era that is dawning).

A new thing will begin to unfold for those who, according to Isaiah, are "aware of it." While the new move of God will not move the "ancient landmarks" that have been established by the fathers, it will find fresh applications and fresh processes for the fleshing out of the Word (when Jesus came to earth, when the Word became flesh, see John 1:14) as the Body embodies the testimony of Jesus, which is what ultimately the spirit of prophecy is all about.

New Generation of Entrepreneurs

In the process of this unfolding, both in the meeting place and in the marketplace, there will be a recovery of a godly work ethic as well as the recovery of a "can-do" spirit. This will spark innovation, ingenuity and creativity, and a renewed spirit of servanthood, which will be attested to and endorsed by God with signs, wonders and the miraculous.

Enterprise will get bigger by getting smaller. The rise of a new generation of entrepreneurs in the Kingdom, who have goods and services to offer the marketplace for the well-being of all, will find many open doors for their trade and craft. God will shake many more major monopolies, and make room for values-based and morally and ethically sound entrepreneurs to rebuild the economy of the nation and the nations.

A Generation of New Expression and Creative Evangelism

In addition, as the level of gifting and creativity increases in the arts, there will be more outlets for the expression of creativity and culture. As it was in the Renaissance, where culture was elevated because of the influence of the Reformation, so there will be a move of a generation who will bring a fresh expression of purity to the arts and media. Production companies and studios built specifically for Kingdom purposes will rise in many locations and even unexpected locations, and will produce first-class quality products that will rival what is done in the entertainment industry.

The Internet will become a vast place of opportunity for the arts, drama, commerce, and even news from a Biblical perspective and worldview. The world as our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents have known it will no longer be the world we live in. Alvin Toffler called the Information Age the third wave (the first being the Agricultural Wave which lasted for thousands of years, the 2nd being the Industrial Age which lasted for about a century and a half). The Information Age is fast morphing into an age unnamed as yet, and for the Believer we will enter into a time of seeing the "plowman overtake the reaper."

Unprecedented opportunity for the harvest of souls will be present because of the major global shifts and the continued shaking of the nations by the Voice of the Lord. There will be multitudes in the valley of decision and there will be great campaigns on many continents and in many creative ways for the evangelization of the people groups of the earth.

Prophetic Insights for 2010
by Matt Sorger
Part 1 of 2

As I have been waiting on the Lord moving into 2010 several themes and scriptures have been highlighted to me by the Holy Spirit. It is a crucial time we are entering into. I have some wonderful prophetic encouragements to share as well as some urgent prophetic warnings concerning the year ahead.

As we meditate on God’s promises and the following scriptures I believe 2010 will be a year of great fruitfulness in our lives!

1. SEVEN KEY WORDS FOR 2010: FRUIT, RAIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HARVEST, OVERFLOW, RESTORATION AND PROVISION Joel 2: 22-26

FRUIT: In 2010 Jesus is really looking for fruit. God desires to make His people strong and fruitful. Gifts are not enough. It’s by the fruit of the Spirit that we will be known. There will be a strong focus on developing spiritual character, maturity and fruitfulness in 2010. You will discern true disciples by their fruit, not their gifts. Joel 2:22, Mt 7:13-27; Mt 21:18-19; John 15:2-8, 16

RAIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HARVEST: The rain of God’s glory will come in righteousness enabling a great harvest. The former rain is the autumn rain that comes for planting seeds. It softens the ground so seeds can be planted. The latter rain comes to ripen the fruit for harvest. God is sending His rain so that we will not only be able to plant good seeds, but also reap the harvest from those seeds. It will be harvest time for many! As we plant the seed of God’s word into our hearts the Holy Spirit will cause an abundant harvest of fruitfulness to spring forth. God will rain down in righteousness upon His people and will cause seeds that have been planted to come to full maturity and harvest. God is bringing His people to a place of maturity. The threshing floors will be full of grain signifying a great harvest. This will include a harvest of lost souls as well as a harvest of God’s promises. The key is that the rain comes in righteousness. The word for righteousness can also be translated in Hebrew “teacher for righteousness”. The moving of the Holy Spirit is coming with teachings for righteousness in 2010! Joel 2:23-24

OVERFLOW: There will be a great overflow of God’s anointing (wine and oil) in our lives. We will have more than enough. God’s anointing will so overflow that not only will we be able to live victoriously ourselves, but we will have enough anointing to overflow and minister to others. Joel 2:24

RESTORATION AND PROVISION: Years that were lost will be restored. God’s people will experience great restoration in their lives this year. The prerequisite for this restoration is a full turning of the heart towards God. As hearts turn to the Lord, lost years will be restored as God deals wondrously with His people. What was lost over years will be restored in one year. With restoration God’s people will walk in supernatural provision. They will not need to run to the world for help. The world will run to the church for help. Joel 2:12-14, Joel 2:25-26; Prov 6:31

2. Preachers of righteousness will emerge under a strong anointing. These preachers will be full of truth and righteousness. They will walk with God in a special way and turn many from iniquity. They will be true messengers of God. There will be a strong contrast between righteous preaching and those who preach from an unrighteous lifestyle. Unrighteous preaching will cause people to stumble. Mal 2:6-8 “The law of truth was in [Levi's] mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness and turned many away from iniquity. For the priest's lips should guard and keep pure the knowledge [of My law], and the people should seek (inquire for and require) instruction at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But you have turned aside out of the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction [in the law]; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi [with Me], says the Lord of hosts.”

3. A clear understanding of God’s righteous judgment will come forth. God’s judgments are always redemptive in nature. They do not condemn or accuse. They confront sin in humility and love seeking to bring people to repentance for the sake of salvation and restoration to God. As God raises up preachers of righteousness, sin will be confronted and dealt with. There will be a strong conviction of sin. An understanding of true grace will come forth. People will begin to understand that grace is more than just mercy when they miss it. Rather it is the power of God in the life of the believer to overcome sin in all its forms and manifestations. True grace will be preached. Rather than condoning sin, power will be given to overcome it. John 8:3-11; 1 Cor 5:9-13; 2 Thes 3:14-15; Acts 13:8-12; Acts 5:1-11

4. A deep call for consecration will be given by the Holy Spirit as God prepares and calls vessels to be set apart for His power and end-time purposes. God will come with a suddenly to His people. This will be accompanied by deep refinement and purification and will cause our lives to be offered in righteousness. Mal 3:1-3 “Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness.” Rom 12: 1-3

The "T" Word: A Prophetic Word for the New Year
 
Sean Feucht
 
Sean Feucht

The "T" Word

I'm tired of it. It is a word that I am honestly sick of hearing over and over for the past few months, and even years, and has just simply worn me out. Despite my personal feelings on the matter, I cannot seem to get away from its sound. When I watch the news, read the paper, talk to friends or even spend time in prayer—there it is again! This expression has haunted me for several months and is almost eerie to my ears now. It is currently being used in virtually every sphere and sector of society to describe the state of mankind in our day. The world of politics, economics, sports, medicine and even the Church are using this single word to describe the significant shift taking place: Transition.

Revelation in the Mundane

Every leader and director from the BURN 24-7 movement across the globe has been pressing into the heart of God with consecrated hearts, asking for fresh perspective for the New Year. It has once again been a rich time flooded with unreal encounters in the presence of God. Our tribe corporately carries a burden and resolve to not just lazily and lethargically stumble into another year as if nothing is changing except a "10" instead of a "9" on our calendars. We MUST be guided by fresh revelation, intuition and unction as we literally are ushered into a new season across the world, whether we are ready or not! Similar to Joseph, Daniel and even the sons of Issachar in the Bible, we long to be a people that the world even councils to interpret the "times and the seasons."

During our fast, I was unpacking a ridiculous amount of boxes in my new home when God began to speak to me. I was tired, a little irritated and very overwhelmed at all the work before me during the few days I was home. It was in this uncomfortable place that God decided to show up and download some fresh stuff into my spirit. I think it's funny how He loves to choose the most seemingly random moments to reveal heavenly perspective to His children. It does not always occur during the intense prayer, worship and pressing-in times, when we feel we are most "postured" to listen. I think God just might be attracted to the routine, mundane and sometimes even boring parts of our lives. What if He actually delights in dwelling with us during the 98% of our lives we are not in church services, prayer meetings or quiet times? That's just a little thought to mull on.

There it is Again

My wife Kate and I recently moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on a dream, a word and a whim. Seriously! God violently hijacked our California dreams and took us back to the East Coast to partner with His burning heart to see young revivalists and Davidic musicianaries—empowered through grace and faith—strike down the giant of humanism towering over a generation. A beautiful community of radical lovers have welcomed us in with open arms and we feel caught in the swirl of destiny.

So here I am, in the middle of the frigid and snowy tundra of the Northeast (which is a far cry from mild Texas). As I'm expending myself to unpack the last four years of my life (that has never really been unpacked) in an unfamiliar, cold and dusty old house—God speaks. The infamous, repetitive and annoying word that I have been working hard to escape reaches my ears yet again: Transition.

I hear the words the Spirit speaks: "The year of the greatest transition in human history."

Immediately, I am brought to 2 Corinthians 3:18:

"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

The Perpetual State

Although I've heard this verse many times before, the revelation dawned that we are sons and daughters of God who remain on a mortal earth and live in a perpetual state of transition. It is no longer a buzzword or the greatest and latest Christian rhetoric, but it's actually factual Biblical truth! With every single breath and heartbeat, and during every mundane task of life, a glorious transformation is taking place! We are caught in the "ever increasing glory" and are transitioning to look more and more radiant—just like He is! Now we may not always feel this radiant (especially when unpacking a house), but it is surely taking place.

As I was sitting on the 70-year-old hardwood floors and frustrated at a massive "to do" list in front of me, it was as if God was saying to me:

"You better get used to this and not get too comfortable with your life! Don't forget why you are here and where you are going, son! This is a year where I am transitioning you farther and faster than ever before, so get ready!"

In that single moment, a supernatural grace and heavenly perspective was released on my heart to receive and catch this revelation. It afforded me the opportunity to rejoice in this journey as a "peculiar" and "otherworldly" creature on a mortal planet that is truly not my ultimate destination. I began to shed off the feelings of "annoyance" and invite the transition of the Spirit to sweep me up and be in sync with His heart.

Even the World Knows

Just as many a structure, system and creature on the earth can feel and are actually prophesying about this great global transition, so we must be more aware and ready to receive it! They are eagerly looking for the answers, the meaning and the Person that is to come. I was struck by this a few days ago as I was walking through Times Square in New York City. I was chatting with a retail store worker only a few days after the world gathered on her city streets to party and usher in the New Year.

During that same moment, we were gathered across the Hudson River and hunkered down in a warehouse packed with hundreds of wild, screaming and passionate worshippers. It was intense, raw and beautifully random as we beckoned the gaze of Heaven to fix on the nation through 100 hours of fiery worship and prayer. It was the most epic New Year's celebration I was ever a part of!

Back to the retail worker—I asked this lady what she thought about the New Year already underway. She responded by saying, "I'm not really sure...but I feel something big is coming...we all do." I was shocked at her prophetic gifting and realized God was releasing this same feeling of anticipation on even the lost of the world! That is why Romans 8:19 remarks that: "All creation groans for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed!"

Fathers to Sons

Well, guess what? Here we are. It is time to awaken to the revelation of our high calling and throw off the yoke of cynicism, hope deferred and false humility. Those entanglements and excuses will do you no good in the year 2010. Allow the Spirit of faith and a "great grace" to rise up to pull you out of the mire and hopelessness of humanity! These are the greatest hours of the history of the world!

With the recent heavenly homecoming of many great men and women of God in our day, lofty mantles, mandates and callings are just waiting for a generation to boldly pick them up. This current transition is from fathers to sons and mothers to daughters. Among these evangelists, revivalists, pioneers and men and women of great faith were Jill Austin and Oral Roberts. Having known Jill for a few years and even traveled with her to the Holy Land, and having attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and earning my degree there, I along with an entire generation, am reaching out to carry this legacy forward where they left off. The baton has changed hands and we have no choice but to run, run, RUN the race marked out before us!

Let Us Embrace It

The current shakings, shiftings and season of transition will continue and must continue! They will not only continue in this hour, but they will increase and accelerate. So let us embrace it! Allow the Lord to cleanse your heart with pure and living water and prepare you for the most dynamic and grand transition the world has ever seen that is coming in this New Year!

Genuine excitement, incredible thrill and the unpredictability of the Spirit is coming back to the Western Church and we will welcome it! China, Nepal and parts of the Middle East are already reaping the fruit of this explosion of the Kingdom and transition in our day. Miracles, signs and wonders, and salvations are taking place in unprecedented numbers. Now it's the rest of the world's turn to enter into it. So much glory is being released in the accessibility of His presence that we may not even recognize ourselves with this radiance upon us next year!

Let us embrace and welcome the "Year of the Greatest Transition in Human History!"

2010-01-19 Word to the Intercessors and Kingdom Ministers

Now says the Lord the world will know the depth of my wrath. For I am incensed, I am angry with those who I have created. For they have turned away from my love, they have thumbed their noses to my provision, they have chased after riches and gold that they dig out of the earth with their own hands. And my church has been bastardized (Change something so that its value declines) and turned away from what I would give them, turned away from the flow of my power and life, turned away from the provision I LONG to pour upon them. And even when they have accepted my gifts, they have used them, but not for my purposes.

And they have withheld from the world that is starving in spiritual deprivation. The gifts I gave them were meant to flow through them out into the world to bring it into the fold. The riches that infest their lives are squandered on themselves and withheld from people who STARVE and DIE from starvation. My church alone could feed this world; without even any help from the rest of mankind, my church could feed the world and they DO NOT; for their hearts are hard as stones, and they do not care.

You, the two of you who sit in this room, you came from that; and I rescued you from that. But you lived in it, and you walked in it. By my mercy I pulled you out. And now I give you the gifts anew; gifts you do not deserve, gifts that are not earned. And you have responded well; for you have sought me to complete your transformation; to leave behind the old ways and to walk in the new ways. So my anger for you has been stilled.

Now, you are prepared. You are prepared to leave the old behind completely and step into a new life, a new way of living. And others like you who have (also) been prepared to step out of the old ways; the old ways that my church has fallen into and no longer even knows are completely wrong. And so, my children walk in my blessing. For your hearts are made complete! All that is left, that must be purged from you, are small things that do not matter (in the grand scheme of things).

Now go and teach my children. Teach them how to walk in my spirit. Teach them how to leave their flesh behind, for it is death and it is dead and it profits them nothing. Leave their flesh behind, and truly know me; for, I LONG to commune with them, and I LONG to know them in the intimacy of fellowship. I do not desire to have to continue in wrath against those whom I love.

Teach them to submit their hearts to me that I might express the tenderness that I feel for them. I release you into the work, the righteous deeds, that I've held for you from before you were born; the good deeds of faith, the righteous deeds, the worthy deeds, the good works that will prove your faith. Go now and do as I direct; and we will walk down that road together and look and observe those things that we build together; says the Lord.

Prophetic Insights for 2010: Rain, Righteousness, Harvest, Anointed Writing, and much more!
 
Matt Sorger
Matt Sorger

As I have been waiting on the Lord moving into 2010, several themes and Scriptures have been highlighted to me by the Holy Spirit. It is a crucial time we are entering into. I have some wonderful prophetic encouragements to share as well as some urgent prophetic warnings concerning the year ahead.

As we meditate on God's promises and the following Scriptures, I believe 2010 will be a year of great fruitfulness in our lives!

Seven Key Words for 2010: Fruit, Rain, Righteousness, Harvest, Overflow, Restoration and Provision (Joel 2:22-26)

• Fruit: In 2010 Jesus is really looking for fruit. God desires to make His people strong and fruitful. Gifts are not enough. It's by the fruit of the Spirit that we will be known. There will be a strong focus on developing spiritual character, maturity and fruitfulness in 2010. You will discern true disciples by their fruit, not their gifts (Joel 2:22, Matthew 7:13-27; Matthew 21:18-19; John 15:2-8, 16).

• Rain, Righteousness and Harvest: The rain of God's glory will come in righteousness, enabling a great harvest. The former rain is the autumn rain that comes for planting seeds. It softens the ground so seeds can be planted. The latter rain comes to ripen the fruit for harvest. God is sending His rain so that we will not only be able to plant good seeds, but also reap the harvest from those seeds. It will be harvest time for many!

As we plant the seed of God's Word into our hearts, the Holy Spirit will cause an abundant harvest of fruitfulness to spring forth. God will rain down in righteousness upon His people and will cause seeds that have been planted to come to full maturity and harvest. God is bringing His people to a place of maturity.

The threshing floors will be full of grain, signifying a great harvest. This will include a harvest of lost souls as well as a harvest of God's promises. The key is that the rain comes in righteousness. The word for righteousness can also be translated in Hebrew "teacher for righteousness." The moving of the Holy Spirit is coming with teachings for righteousness in 2010 (Joel 2:23-24)!

• Overflow: There will be a great overflow of God's anointing (wine and oil) in our lives. We will have more than enough. God's anointing will so overflow that not only will we be able to live victoriously ourselves, but we will have enough anointing to overflow and minister to others (Joel 2:24).

• Restoration and Provision: Years that were lost will be restored. God's people will experience great restoration in their lives this year. The prerequisite for this restoration is a full turning of the heart towards God. As hearts turn to the Lord, lost years will be restored as God deals wondrously with His people. What was lost over years will be restored in one year. With restoration God's people will walk in supernatural provision. They will not need to run to the world for help. The world will run to the Church for help (Joel 2:12-14, Joel 2:25-26; Proverbs 6:31).

Preachers of Righteousness will Emerge Under a Strong Anointing

These preachers will be full of truth and righteousness. They will walk with God in a special way and turn many from iniquity. They will be true messengers of God. There will be a strong contrast between righteous preaching and those who preach from an unrighteous lifestyle. Unrighteous preaching will cause people to stumble.

The law of truth was in (Levi's) mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness and turned many away from iniquity. For the priest's lips should guard and keep pure the knowledge (of My law), and the people should seek (inquire for and require) instruction at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But you have turned aside out of the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction (in the law); you have corrupted the covenant of Levi (with Me), says the Lord of hosts. Malachi 2:6-8

A Clear Understanding of God's Righteous Judgment will Come Forth

God's judgments are always redemptive in nature. They do not condemn or accuse. They confront sin in humility and love, seeking to bring people to repentance for the sake of salvation and restoration to God. As God raises up preachers of righteousness, sin will be confronted and dealt with. There will be a strong conviction of sin.

An understanding of true grace will come forth. People will begin to understand that grace is more than just mercy when they miss it. Rather, it is the power of God in the life of the Believer to overcome sin in all its forms and manifestations. True grace will be preached. Rather than condoning sin, power will be given to overcome it (John 8:3-11; 1 Cor 5:9-13; 2 Thes 3:14-15; Acts 13:8-12; Acts 5:1-11).

A Deep Call for Consecration will be Given by the Holy Spirit

This will happen as God prepares and calls vessels to be set apart for His power and end-time purposes. God will come with a suddenly to His people. This will be accompanied by deep refinement and purification and will cause our lives to be offered in righteousness.

"Behold, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord (the Messiah), Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness." Malachi 3:1-3 (Also see Romans 12:1-3.)

God will Strengthen the Covenant of Marriage within the Church

Believers will need to make a choice to live in a way that pleases God, not in a way that is convenient for their flesh. Protecting and standing for the marriage covenant is very strong on God's heart. A plumbline will be set that upholds the truth of God's Word in this area. God is calling the Church to stand for moral purity. His grace and power will be there to help them truly live for God.

Yet you ask, "Why does He reject it?" Because the Lord was witness (to the covenant made at your marriage) between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously and to whom you were faithless. Yet she is your companion and the wife of your covenant (made by your marriage vows). And did not God make (you and your wife) one (flesh)? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why (did God make you two) one? Because He sought a godly offspring (from your union).

Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says: "I hate divorce and marital separation and him who covers his garment (his wife) with violence." Therefore keep a watch upon your spirit (that it may be controlled by My Spirit), that you deal not treacherously and faithlessly (with your marriage mate). Malachi 2:14-16 (Also see Mt 5:31-32; Mt 19:3; Mt 19:11-12; Mk 10:2-12; 1 Cor 7:8-39; John 8:3-11.)

Strong Gift of Discernment

For those who desire to walk pure before the Lord a strong gift of discernment will be given to keep them from evil. Those who choose compromise will give way to a spirit of deception.

Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him. Malachi 3:18

Walk in Reverence Before God

Although it may seem that evildoers are exalted and prosper, the Lord says not to be fooled by appearances. Don't be disheartened or fooled by the apparent exaltation of unrighteousness. There is coming a day of reckoning. Those who truly walk in the fear of the Lord will be remembered in God's book of remembrance. There will be a public recognition of those who truly walk in reverence before God.

You have said, "It is useless to serve God, and what profit is it if we keep His ordinances and walk gloomily and as if in mourning apparel before the Lord of hosts? And now we consider the proud and arrogant to be happy and favored; evildoers are exalted and prosper; yes, and when they test God, they escape (unpunished)."

Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His name. "And they shall be Mine," says the Lord of hosts, "in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him." Malachi 3:14-17

Proper Alignments and Associations will be Crucial for God's People

Be very careful what influences you let come into your life through what and who you align and associate with. The Lord is calling His people to come into agreement with righteousness and truth. Through proper relationship with God we will be better tuned into the "frequency" of the Holy Spirit and will more clearly hear His voice and know His ways.

What you come into agreement with is what you will empower in your life. God is dealing with mixture that has crept into the Church. We must break wrong alignments and pursue godly associations. We must align with truth, righteousness and God's Word. What you hang out with is what you will become (Josh 23:7, 12; 1 Kings 11:4; 1 Cor 5:9-11; 2 Thes 3:14; Rom 12:16; Acts 17:4; Prov 13:20; 2 Cor 6:14,17).

True and False Powers

There is coming a greater polarization between truth and deception, between obedience and lawlessness, between the true power of God and false signs and wonders. True, authentic power will flow out of a consecrated lifestyle. Deceptive power flows out of selfishness, iniquity and lawlessness, leading people astray.

And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, but he who endures to the end will be saved. And this good news of the Kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end. Matthew 24:11-14

For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God's chosen ones). See, I have warned you beforehand. Matthew 24:24-25

God's Love is Coming in the Church

A revelation and impartation of God's love is coming in the Church where God's people will be motivated and moved by such a deep compassion from the heart of God. This love will release both a greater faith and a greater power in the Church. Just as Jesus was moved with compassion and healed the sick and raised the dead, so will God's people be moved with great compassion. This compassion will bring with it a greater release of God's miracle healing power (1 Jn 3:16, 18; Mt 14:14; Mt 18:27; Luke 1:50; Luke 7:13; James 3:17; Gal 5:6, 22-26; Eph 5:1-21).

The Name and Works of Jesus will be Emphasized

All the works of Jesus Christ will be seen and known. People will come into a deeper understanding and revelation of the power, glory and authority found in the name and Person of Jesus. People will gain a deep appreciation and honor for everything that comes through His name. Focus will be brought back onto the life and works of Jesus Christ (Acts 3:16).

There will be an Anointing for Writing in 2010

Those called to write and publish will come under a fresh scribe anointing by the Holy Spirit, enabling them to write and publish the heart and mind of God.

Prophetic Words for 2010 and Beyond
 
David Herzog
 
 

Below are points which the Lord showed me is ahead for 2010 and beyond:

• Great favor is about to be released with the "suddenlies" of the Lord. Suddenly, multiple promises and blessings will start to fall into people's laps, who have contended so hard in year's past which looked hopeless, if they continue and do not lose heart and faith in the promises! God is able to make all favor and grace abound in 2010, as it will be a year of double grace to Believers that have been faithful in not giving up and quitting on the promises. When you have done all to stand, just stand your ground, and suddenly God will come in and shift the promises of God over your life in your favor.

• Those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits. And it is not for the faint of heart. It's a year of either advancing fearlessly despite the fear all around, or shrinking back in fear. That is why it says "(those who) know their God shall be strong, and do exploits" (Daniel 11:32). Also, the word I kept receiving is that "(they) shall be volunteers in the day of (His) power" (Psalm 110:3). The power of God is going to increase as well as the shakings.

• 2010 is a year of invading the enemy's strongholds, taking the high places where false altars have been set up and setting up an altar to the Lord. (Examples: Hollywood/media, New Age and false religions, business, health industry, etc...)

• 2010 is a year to advance deeper into enemy territory. In order to do this, many will have to let go of certain ministries or projects that God may have ordained in the past but were only for a season, and that would be too time consuming and/or economically draining to be able to enter this new open-door phase of harvest.

• 2010 is a year of great acceleration in Israel. Much spiritual activity will be occurring this year, and many in Israel will be open to the Messiah on a new level with an increase in dreams and visions of the Messiah and a harvest that is riper than ever, both in Israel and among Jewish people in America. Keep your eyes open for divine appointments that will lead to awesome salvations among those you would normally consider the least open to the Gospel in times past. God is removing the veil in a big way as a new harvest is ripening. This applies not only to the Jewish people but many groups in deep darkness steeped in the new age and false religions and other power sources; those in the entertainment industry, as well, will start getting Saul-like conversions.

• Persecution in general will gradually start to escalate. As you see a dramatic increase in the media and government taking a much stronger stance against Israel than at any time before, know that the persecution of Believers and ministers in general will also increase out of fear that the enemy has of the coming harvest. On the same note, the grace, favor, harvest and power of God will simultaneously increase! The best place to be is where the fire is hottest.

• Safe Houses: As the shaking continues economically as well as in nature and the earth itself, resulting in natural disasters in different places, houses of prayer and intercession will become places of refuge, and they can lessen these things in different geographical locations.

• In 2009 many were tested and are still being tested, but the Bible says that when you have done all to stand, just stand. Don't lose your faith and ground in the spirit concerning certain promises due to the economy (and other physical, emotional or family attacks), as you are citizens of Heaven and God's will is not determined by the world's monetary system.

• 2010 through 2012 is a year of advancing much deeper into the harvest of souls as opposed to just focusing on equipping only in conferences and church meetings. Divine strategies are coming also to move into influencing the secular world this year. It is a year of new positioning. Many ministries will be possessing new properties and buildings as a means of possessing the gates of our enemies, both in the physical and spiritual realms.

Though there is much concern about the nation of the USA at this moment in history, the next two years will be a season of great and sudden advancements into the harvest and deeper into pulverizing enemy territory, despite the shakings on the earth. At first, it will seem only a few will penetrate these realms of harvest, blessings and glory, but as the first group of people go into new harvests, others will be encouraged and shake off fear and start to also go for the harvest and promises of God and to get the Gospel into the darkest places.

Normally in the business world, the higher the risk in investments—the higher the returns. The same is true in bringing the Gospel into the darkest places on the earth; those that were previously known as more risky, will also yield the greatest fruit as you go where no man (or woman) has gone before.

• 2010 is a year to totally consecrate your life to His purpose in your life. Don't allow apathy and loss of hope and vision, or you will start to retreat. The spirit of "faith" and "overcoming" will start to invade Believers, that if they will even use the little strength or faith they do have and release it, it will move mountains in this year! Don't allow secular media to dictate how this year will go for you, but let God's Word and the prophecies over your life, city, ministry, business and nation be your standard. War with the prophecies that have been given to you as you begin to walk into them this year.

• Be wise in the transition as not to stop certain things "cold turkey," but gradually shift according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Romans 12:1 says, "Lay aside every weight..." This refers to breaking off patterns of sin this year that would destroy you, but it also refers to breaking patterns of works that were once fresh and that are now just dead works lacking the joy and freshness of the Holy Spirit. This is the year to run the race, aiming for the high calling of God on your life. Aim for the number one thing that you know you were born to do for His Glory. Start to take the first baby steps toward that "High" call, and it will start to awaken the fullness of this calling, the excitement of it, and the fresh power and grace to do it.

Transition Requires Change - 2010
Clay Sikes
Jan 24, 2010

Many Christians today face levels of ‘uncertainty’ in unparallel proportion. To the degree ’uncertainty’ looms, to that same degree are we headed for major ’transition.’ This is written to those of us mired in the rut of sameness, bound by circumstance and situation, and constrained by the events of life that create walls of containment. For many, this is financial in nature. For others, it is all encompassing - health, healing, vocational, relational, geographical. These often painful surroundings share a common thread - UNCERTAINTY!

We are living in extraordinarily uncertain times, and to a great extent everyone lives with a degree of uncertainty; but for an appointed ‘son’ (daughter) your uncertainty is about to explode into God-appointed ‘transition.’ To the degree we face uncertainty, and to the same degree we remain at peace and totally flexible, to that same degree are we totally prepared to ‘transition into the emerging Kingdom’ (upon earth). Rest always precedes restoration just as anxiety reveals a lack of trust. We either (in His rest) trust God for whatever we face, or we don’t - anxiety reveals the difference! The Kingdom is peace, righteousness, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Some years ago the Holy Spirit whispered a natural and supernatural phenomenon to me - “Anything growing will change - stay open, stay flexible for all true growth will require change.” Never put your tent pegs so deep in the ground such that when the cloud moves you cannot move with it. All growth requires change - it cannot be avoided. Many have lived for years with visions, hopes, dreams, and what they considered the promises of God - destiny. Yet years of spiritual and physical stagnancy seem to have done little to advance the cause. It is during these times of seeming nothingness that God is doing His greatest work, often circumcising our hearts, killing our hopes, dreams, and vision. And yes, this is painful, but unless a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone, but if it dies it brings forth much fruit (John 12:24). Abraham faced this exact situation with Isaac. He had to be willing to die to the promise for God to raise it up.

The change stagnant periods bring to us is the death of a vision, a promise, a hope, but a death so necessary for life. Once we let go, and let things die within us, we now enable God to raise it up the way He desires, and if He doesn’t it wasn’t Him to begin with. I painfully stood for my first marriage for almost a decade of my life, but finally let it die. Ironically, the day I did (within minutes) He brought me Tracy, who this March will have given me 19 years of Christian love, and a soon-to-be 13 year old daughter. Just as we should never marry our possessions, so too must we leave room for ‘change’ in our vision. A key to arriving at God’s appointed place is our willingness to remain flexible and willing to ‘transition’ to the new place. Transition will never take place UNTIL we embrace change. The traditions of men (preconceived notions) make God’s words to us to no affect.

Often the changes we are asked to embrace are painful because of what we must ‘leave behind.’ The difference between the “many who are called, and the few who are chosen” is the discipline to “leave behind,” as often this place is the place most familiar and comfortable - churches, families, loved ones, homes, communities, jobs, businesses, ministries, countries, etc., THE TRANSITION I AM SPEAKING OF TODAY CAN BE AND OFTEN IS PAINFUL. “Few” will willingly put themselves in painful and often more uncertain circumstances.

The whole creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. The sons are now manifesting, and each day brings greater clarity as to who they really are, and of equal importance, who they are not! A true son is a dead man walking - a man (woman) whose agenda is not his own; whose life is surrendered (totally) to the will of God.

2010 is launching enormous ‘transition’ with those who have surrendered their lives completely, including their visions, hopes, and dreams (the most difficult things in the life of a Christian to surrender). Those who will embrace being stripped today will be the very operatives of God upon whose authority and power the emerging Kingdom will operate by.

As I cried out to God for a confirmation about this word, He spoke clearly Psalm 16:11 to me - “You have made known to me the path of life.” The path to life is staying ‘surrendered totally.’ By willingly surrendering everything to God, including your dreams, plans, and visions, you allow God to burn at the alter all the wood, straw, hay, and stubble that was not His to begin with. What remains through the fire is the gold of God. Gold won’t fold when the heat comes - everything else will. What remains will be purified and fit for the master’s use. Our true purpose in life comes by giving it up.

Many are called, few are chosen. Morris Ruddick writes, “It involves an alignment with God reflecting not one vestige of variation between His will and our will. Jesus said, “I and my Father are one.” The cost pivots on truly knowing God’s heart and entering that place where it is not what we do for God, but rather what we allow God to do through us. “It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me.”

Allow yourself to be placed upon the alter of God. Release everything to Him, and thus allow Him to bring forth a transitioning in 2010 beyond your ability to comprehend.

--- This Month ---

By: Abraham George Alademerin

THIS YEAR 2010, I WILL RISE, MOVE FORWARD AND SHINE

Jesus came to this world to destroy the works of the devil. He laid down His life and rose again in fulfillment of His declaration that “I WILL RISE AGAIN” (Lk 24:6-7). In our own case, we are not down for an important purpose like Jesus, it is the devil that pulled us down flat like a pin fall or submission or knockout in wrestling bout, and not wanting us to rise again to fulfill God’s purpose in life.

In what area in previous years has the devil knocked you down? Is it collapsed business, lost glory, broken marriage or home, financial wreckage, spiritual death or dryness, lost vision, health attack, etc? Whatever power or agent of darkness that has down loaded any of these negative things into your life instead of uplifting your glory shall be devoured by fire.

There is need to arise and move out of the terrible situations of life. In 2 Ki 7:3-16, four leprous men got this revelation and immediately rejected stagnancy - the oppression of the devil. Before their deliverance, these four leprous men, sick beggars went to surrender to the enemies at the most surprising moment of their lives and God transformed their lives into victory, relief and honour among the Israelites. You must take a decision of faith this year, this month; this week, this hour, and this moment to move forward (Vs 3-4).

Jesus in Mt 27:64-65 arose from death; you too must arise and reject the terrible situations planted in your life by the devil. You must arise and move forward to possess your hidden possessions. Will you declare to yourself? - “I WILL RISE AND MOVE FORWARD IN 2010” (Vs 5)

God is always waiting for our willingness together with our actions to act ahead of us. God sent confusion into the camp and midst of the enemies of the four leprous men in 2 Ki 7:6. Faith (willingness and action together) is the key of victory and possessions. God has promised to do good to us, in all our endeavours, we must rely on His promises. His promises may be either short time or long time as He has both in His kitty. Against all odd, He would be faithful to His promises and when you arise to claim them in due cause, He would also arise to favour you. Jesus arose and moved forward and ascended on high. He mounted the throne of God in heaven from beneath to the highest level. What about you?

A stagnant person will soon rust away, but when you take a step forward, you will climb a ladder to the higher ground. A rolling stone gather no moss but a stable or stagnant one gather much to deform its image, so is a cutlass that is left on the soil for long, it get rusted and deformed loosing its sharpness and begin to sink little by little into the soil. When you arise, your enemy will arise and flee (Vs 7). It is then you can possess your possessions and bring good tidings to other people like the four leprous men (Vs 8-16).

Therefore, with much faith, be diligent in your business and more so in serving the Lord:

- Have a focus. Draw plans for the days, months, year 2010 and years ahead.

- Take a decision. Get rid of indecision and procrastination. Do not allow people influence you negatively.

- Take a step forward - What first? Think about carrying out the vision at hand. Think about something new or reformation of good things neglected in the past.

- Do not be slothful. Let your mind and your hands be strong in the Lord and in your daily endeavors.

- Be prayerful. Prayer is the strength of transformation, reformation, revival, etc; the key that opens doors of secured achievements.

 “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men (obscure or unknown men)” (Prov 22:29).

 “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” (Rom 12:11)

 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee” (Isa 60:1).

“Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light.” (Eph 5:14). 

Therefore, as you want to proceed in life this year, arise and shine.

CONFESSIONAL PRAYERS FOR YOU THIS MONTHS OF JANUARY & FEBRUARY:

What will you do with this month’s confessional prayers? Good things happen when you least expect them to.

1. I refuse to die spiritually, materially, financially, mentally and physically. I receive spiritual life, material life, financial life, mental life, and physical life.

2. I uproot and consume by fire every deposition of death in my life.

3. Graveyard spirits, spirit of poverty, I paralyzed your activity in my life this year.

4. I come out of the grave of hardship etc today. God raises me up into my place and year of honour.

5. I reject poverty; I embrace the wealth of God.

6. This year by the power of God, I am exalted, I am promoted, and I am lifted up.

7. This year with the right hand of God, I come out of the dust, out of ashes – poverty – lack –pitch of debts, etc. I am lifted up and seats with princes, kings, etc.

8. This year, by fire by force, I inherit the throne of glory and honour, I possess my possessions, and I recover and discover my authority. I will rule and reign.

9. This year, I overturn every negative thing in my life to positive things.      

I prophesy that this month that you have crossed over into Year 2010; the Lord will cause your glory to rise and shine.

JESUS is the LORD of lords

Wishing you a transforming, victorious and glorious 2010.

John Wallace:
2010: A Great Adventure
John Wallace

Last November the Lord began to speak to me about this new year. He said, "2010 will be a great adventure." I thought to myself, "As if the last 40 years haven't been?!" Nonetheless, I began to reflect on going on an adventure: How do you prepare yourself? What do you need to take along? The Lord assured me that He would be the expedition leader. So, most of all, it would be critical to follow Him.

Reflecting on what it means to follow Him led me to John 10. Here, of course, our Lord is rebuking the Jewish leaders and encouraging each of us. He, Jesus, is the answer to our Lord's promise in Ezekiel 34 to provide for His people a "good shepherd," in contrast to the false shepherds of Israel. Jesus cannot help but be referring to that promise when He said, "I am the Good Shepherd" (John 10:11). Jesus says that His sheep will know Him by hearing His voice. And they will follow Him.

It is Critical to Hear His Voice

Clearly a prerequisite for following our Lord, especially following Him as He leads us into this adventure, is hearing His voice. Never before has it been so critical to hear His voice...clearly.

One of the characteristics of an adventure is that it almost always includes surprises. It takes the quality of flexibility, the willingness to change directions, to carry on in the adventure. We may think we know the way to go, but only the expedition leader knows how to get us there. We may have to change paths. We may have to climb mountains, ford rivers, cut through jungle. There may be times of walking uphill or times of walking, almost running, downhill. But we must so keep our eyes and ears open to the instructions of our Leader, our Shepherd, that we continue to follow Him.

I believe one of our top priorities this year is to cultivate the art of hearing the Lord. There are many hindrances we experience to BLOCK our doing so:

1) I just don't WANT to hear the Lord because He may rebuke me, may ask me to do (or stop doing) something I don't want to.

2) I hear too many other voices—especially my own voice or "taped" voices in my mind. I hear the voices of well-meaning friends and family. I hear the voice of demonic enemies.

3) I have a theology that God stopped speaking over 2,000 years ago when the Bible was finished. Since then God has gone on a speaking strike and acted uncharacteristic to His nature...the One Who calls Himself the Word.

4) I don't get quiet enough to hear Him. I fill my life with noise—external and internal.

5) I pass off His voice for my "imagination."

6) I'm waiting to hear a Charlton Heston-like voice boom in my mind or all around me.

There are many other ways to block His voice from reaching us. This year I believe we need to have an increased sensitivity to these ways that we miss His communication to us. Asking the Lord to make us more aware, repenting of not wanting to hear, repenting of believing a "non-speaking-God" theology, getting quiet. We really must hear His voice this year. It's more important than ever!

How Then, Does He Speak?

How then, does He speak? Through His word (incarnate/Jesus and written/Bible), pictorially (giving us visions, dreams, "pictures" of the supernatural in the natural things we see), through impressions, His voice speaking in our minds (or, more rare, audibly), through other Believers using gifts of the Spirit (prophecy, words of knowledge, words of wisdom, teaching, exhortation, etc.), and visitations of the Lord and His angels.

God is a speaking God! He is speaking every single day. He desires us to hear Him and hear Him better. We can start where we are. We can cultivate a hearing ear and an obeying heart. We risk it...learning to differentiate His voice from others'. Hebrews 5:14 says, "But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil." BECAUSE OF PRACTICE is how we have our senses trained. It takes practice to hear the voice of the Lord. But we have Him on our side: He wants us to hear Him!

It's going to make a difference. The world is going to be thrown into much more confusion. There will be voices everywhere this year. He has a great adventure ahead of us—Kingdom exploits and life transformations. All we have to do is just follow the Leader.

The Spring of 2010

By Ron McGatlin

Life returns again in twenty ten.
The dormant season of winter is a season of lifelessness. A season in which life in plants goes underground either in a root systems or as dormant seed to come forth in the spring restoring full life and fruitfulness. Life goes on in the dormant or winter season but at a different level than in the excited productive revival season of spring.
Revival means a return to life. Somewhat like the natural seasons the excited fruitful spiritual life of God endures cyclical seasons. Seasons of returning life always follow a dormant season. These are not annual seasons but vary in length of duration and intensity. Both the dormant and revival life season can be longer or shorter and more or less intense.
Return or revival of spiritual life is also likened unto waves upon the sea. Smaller waves are common and rhythmical one after another. However, when the winds of the Spirit greatly increase the waves become very large and further apart. They are much more powerful and can bring massive change to the shore line.
I believe that I hear the Lord saying there are massive waves of fresh revival life returning extreme and exciting spiritual life to masses of people worldwide beginning to spring forth in the spring of 2010. Like a dormant tree first there is the bud that becomes the blossom and leaves and then the small green fruit and finally the mature ripe fruit.
As the unusual winter snowstorms continue to hold natural life in dormancy the buds of spring are appearing ahead of the normal cyclical season on some of the trees in the area where I live.
Even now as massive quaking and shaking of the earth and other cataclysmic events bring devastation, the buds of revival life begin to flood hearts and flows out into the streets in midst of devastated cities. In the dark night of winter, hope sees the budding of the joy of the Lord to come in the morning of springtime.
Devastating pain always produces bitterness or resentment in the hearts of independent people who trust in themselves. However, those who trust in the Lord God Almighty are drawn even closer to Him in utter dependence upon His love and spiritual life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit during the painful experience of devastating events.
The outpouring of the love of God in response to His people moving close to Him in full dependence and adoration of Him spawns huge waves of His spiritual love and power in living demonstrations and manifestations among those who love and trust in Him. This is revived life returning to His people. This is the springtime of revival life bringing beauty in the midst of tragedy. God is love. Revival is the experience of the great flow of His love pouring into His people and His world.
Those who have slipped into living for self and other gods are convicted of their error when impacted by the wave of His love. Many will repent of their false gods and turn to Him with their whole hearts. Their hearts and lives are changed as the life of God by His Spirit fills them afresh.
Can you feel the excitement in you heart building by His Spirit, as revived spiritual life from deep within begins to flow toward the surface? There probably has never been a season in-history when the world was so desperately longing for the real life of God. The crumbling world conditions are rapidly eroding the trust of people in their false gods. The futile self-life and pleasure-seeking is decaying into purposeless and sick existence without real life.
A rotting tree bears little or no fruit. Dead wood must be cut out to restore the tree and prepare for fruitfulness. A season of deep repentance and cutting away is coming to the church as the real life of the Spirit shines forth the real love and true kingdom of God life of Christ Jesus into the vast pool of desperate longing of multitudes who have once tasted the glorious life of God.
Isa 61:11: For as the earth brings forth its bud, As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. 
Isa 42:9: Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them."
Spiritual revival life leads to true spiritual church (ekklesia) reality, and kingdom of God living becomes reality on earth as it is in heaven. God and man, heaven and earth, come together in the true spiritual church.
Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

2010  'A Year of germination of seeds that have been planted over many years.'
 
By Bill Yount 

John 12:24 "Verily, Verily, I say unto you except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies it will bring forth much fruit."

To germinate means 'to begin to or cause to grow, or sprout.

IT'S AS THOUGH THESE SEEDS WERE SHOUTING...."OUR SEASON OF DEATH IS OVER!"

 In the Spirit I am hearing a sound I have never heard before. It's a sound from seeds that God had planted through us that have died inside the stony hearts of many people. There had been a long season when these seeds were not heard from at all. They were silenced by death. But inspite of death these seeds now were beginning to groan as though death itself could not keep them any longer. The very life of Christ within these seeds was now beginning to overcome death and I saw a sprouting taking place that seemed to begin to shake the gates of hell off of its hinges! It's as though these seeds were shouting, "Our season of death is over! Halleluia, we are now coming alive!" Seeds that had died with unfulfilled dreams of God inside of them were now beginning to come alive worshiping their Creator as they were beginning to sprout, bringing forth 'fields of dreams' coming true!

Seeds that were planted many years ago up to this present day were beginning to germinate. Seeds we had sown of the word of God, acts of kindness and even smiles were bringing in a harvest as germination was taking place inside of many of whom we had forgotten about and given up hope for.

IN THE TIME OF HARVEST KEEP SOWING SEEDS!

Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 "He that observes the wind shall not sow and he that regards the clouds shall not reap. 5. As thou knowest not what is the way of the Spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 6. In the morning sow thy seed and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper either this or that or whether they shall be alike good."

Both of our daughters are expecting our first grandchildren a month apart this year. We have been saturated with sonagrams. Sonagrams are amazing to look at. You begin by seeing something so small at first and then the little members of the body begin to grow. We can't figure out how that happens but it's the seed that makes it all happen! I believe this year will be a year of record breaking germination taking place in the wombs of many women....even a year of surprise babies!

MANY THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN 'TERMINATED' WILL BE 'GERMINATED' THIS COMING YEAR!

When a seed falls into the ground and dies it looks different as it begins to sprout and surface. Many ministries, jobs and dreams that have seemingly been terminated will begin to germinate and spring forth suddenly appearing different with new dimensions this coming year. The enemy is not cutting anything away from you but God is pruning us all to look to Him for everything. Don't focus on your dead dream, dead job or dead ministry...listen to that seed that is now groaning to come forth in newness of life. Some jobs that have been terminated in one place will germinate in another place. Your gift will make room for you. Your gift has outgrown the room you were in! You will now need a larger room for your gift. The place where you get pregnant with God's dream is not always the same place where you give birth to it.

GERMINATION IS TAKING PLACE ON THE INSIDE OF YOU RIGHT NOW!

Many seeds that have been planted inside of us by the Holy Spirit and have seemingly died forever are now beginning to make a noise and groan. Even things that we 'thought' God told us that that is over.. isn't. Twenty-five years ago I had co-written a song with a brother that was recorded by several people and blessed many. After several years the song seemed to have finished it's course of being heard. Once in a while I would type in the name of the song to see if it's season was really over. I became convinced that the song had a certain season and that was it. Just two months ago I typed in the name of the song on i-tunes store and up came that song "It's all taken care of, thanks to you." just recorded by Claudelle Clarke, the queen of Reggae Gospel Music from Jamaica who has been singing for forty years now.

I contacted her and since the publishing company I had signed with closed down twenty years ago, she was unable to find the authors of the song. Sometimes when our name is overlooked or forgotten, God often uses a seed we planted to cause others to reap blessings where they did not sow and to take it further than we ever could. 1 Corinthians 2:6  Paul says, "I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase."

Galations 6:9 "And let us not become weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not."

I am learning that it's when I feel like fainting that that is when I am actually doing well from God's point of view and that a seed that I have sown is beginning to groan and sprout somewhere in some place or in somebody or in some nation!

Hope Reformation: Hope is Coming Forth in 2010 through Hope Reformers
 
Bob Hartley

Bob Hartley

I have had a repeated dream over the years where God was giving churches, businesses, and cities a new name as in Isaiah 62, and they were renamed HOPE. In these dreams, God showed me that the Body of Christ has been secured in love from their salvation experiences, but now He is bringing forth hope to the Body of Christ that advances the heart! Without hope, it's easy to hide in the back room and say, "Jesus, it's not working on the planet, come back!" But with a hopeful heart, we are enabled to go after abundant life in this hour and have something to offer the Son of God when He returns!

There is an Isaiah 45 reality coming forth, where He is bringing forth hidden treasures of His nature that have been buried for thousands of years! "I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name."

The Encounter:
Hope Reformation for 2010-2020

Over the years, I have had a series of encounters with the Lord where I would journal what He was speaking, and I would ask Him a number of questions about how He's building and preparing and moving the Body of Christ forward in the hour we are in. I believe it is our right to be like the sons of Issachar who have understanding of the times, to know what the Body of Christ ought to do, as in 1 Chronicles 12:32. It is our right to partner with our God, and as He leads us, we do not have to wander in the wilderness!

If the LORD is pleased with us, He will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.—Numbers 14:8

So I have purposed to hear His heart, not only for my own issues but also for the Body of Christ and the nations, particularly for the years 2010 to 2020. Through this process of encounter and responses from the Lord, I often get this recurring picture and dream of sitting at the table of the Lord, with others, and there He speaks to me and He rolls out a blueprint. Sometimes a Scout comes that represents Him, and He'll speak and I'll journal it through the night and begin to piece together the blueprint and counsel that the Lord gives.

Many plans are in a man's heart, but the counsel of the LORD will stand.—Proverbs 19:21 (NASB)

Recently, I began to ask Him about the next 10 years, and here is what He began to speak. He was trumpeting a message of miracles and of a Hope Reformation, and He declared that 2010 would be a year that the Father's heart secures people in His love, and the Father's voice, through decrees, would advance people and nations into their God-ordained destinies. These decrees would help give the Church back its courage and hope!

The Lord showed me that beginning in 2010 and continuing through the next 10 years, He is raising up Patriarchs and Matriarchs of every age that will decree what the Lord is saying, and they will decree another future for the Body of Christ. Job 22:28 says that if you decree a thing it will happen, if you are in agreement with Him. "You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways." He is raising up mothers and fathers in the Spirit, for as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 4:15, "For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers."

The Decrees of the Father's Voice
for 2010-2020

The first decree that the Lord told me at His table was that "Hope is Coming Forth in 2010 through Hope Reformers." He showed me these Hope Reformers who had a third perspective—not a perspective of the world or of their own soul, but Heaven's perspective. These Hope Reformers had abandoned that which is evil and full of despair and had returned to an appropriate, godly and hope-filled state. He showed me a picture of Joshua and Caleb from Numbers 13:25-33, where they looked at the Promised Land and they had hope that surely the children of God could take the land despite the giants there—because our God is greater! Their perspective was an appropriate, godly and hope-filled perspective, not one of doubt, fear and despair that magnifies the challenges above our great and awesome God. NO! We can take the land! I saw that these Hope Reformers are the "arise and shine" ones of Isaiah 60:1, and they were coming forth with the Father's voice of hope this year.

The second decree that the Lord told me was that "Hopeful prophets would come forth in 2010." These Hope Reformers will be like the farmers in Zechariah 13:4-5 that are prophetic builders that do not rail and run or bring sensationalism, but those who plant a seed and then trust that the seed will bring forth a fruitful harvest. I saw that they were sons and daughters like Abraham in Genesis 18:17, where "the LORD said, 'Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?'" I saw the Father speak to these sons and daughters about cities whose architect and maker is God, with His patriarchal voice that is able to see a very long way out and build accordingly.

The Lord showed me at His table, that there is a different way His voice will come forth. It's the Father's voice that decrees hopeful realities and a hopeful future. It doesn't negate the challenges, but sees the "Greater than" God, as in Deuteronomy 7:17-18, "If you should say in your heart, 'These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?' you shall not be afraid of them; you shall well remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt." He showed me that incomplete prophecy is seeing the challenges without an answer in Him. He said that you cannot build off of the negative. He showed me that He is a truthful, positive, confident God who is summing all things up in His Son. He spoke with the voice of a third perspective, not that of man or the challenges on the earth, but with His heavenly, hopeful, redemptive perspective.

The third decree that the Lord told me at His table was that He would bring forth a "Clear trumpet sound in 2010" that would emphasize what is most important. The Lord tenderly showed me, sitting at a table, what I would share with my son if I had a limited time left on the planet. If I had a few months left to share what is most important to help him advance in life and be successful in God, what would I tell him? He said that this is what He wanted to do for the Body of Christ. This is what He said is most important at this time: there is a Hope Reformation coming forth that is not just about a distant eternal security, though that is our anchor; it is a reformation called living in hope for today. It's about the nature of God being expressed as the hopeful God who will bring forth that Joshua eyesight, where the Body of Christ stands and decrees, "We can take the land!"

These are the decrees that the Lord showed me, that He has laid out for the Body of Christ as we move forward here in 2010 to 2020.

THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "I Have a Royal Journey of Hope to Bring the Body of Christ into this Hope Reformation"

The Father began to share with me the decrees that were key to get these Hope Reformers prepared to deliver His decrees to the nations of the earth. He decreed that there is a royal path and a journey to equip the Hope Reformers for the times and seasons we are in. He told me that there has always been a house of our pilgrimage, an ancient path, and a good way for us during a particular time on the planet that God is endorsing, as in Jeremiah 6:16; "This is what the LORD says: 'Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls...'"

He showed me a royal journey that the Body of Christ is to go on together, and He called it the Royal Journey of Hope. I saw 50 million people that would go on this royal journey of hope. They'd go into cities, nations and businesses, and they'd be able to move them out of despair and into hope, where they advance into a future with a great harvest. The Lord showed me that this is an Abraham generation that sees a long way out for a hopeful future.

THEN THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "Personal Devotion Will Lead To Public Decrees"

He showed me that the only way to walk into this Hope Reformation is personal devotion filled with hope, that will lead to public decrees, that will help change the nature of Christianity. The Lord gave great emphasis on face-to-face prayer. He said that you would get your decrees from your private place with Him, when you encounter Him and develop His heart. Then you come out with your mission for that season and that reality.

THEN THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "Go on this Journey and Learn Five Lessons of Hope to become a Fortress of Hope"

I've had recurring dreams of people that would be in a classroom in Heaven where they were to learn five lessons of hope, and they would graduate those lessons and become coronated as Hope Reformers. Then they would be sent out of that heavenly place with such a certainty that they would speak into the clouds, and the clouds would then rain over geographical areas. Everywhere it would rain, everyone would get wet with hope! I saw great hopers coming forth like Winston Churchill and Hans Nielsen Hauge, and they came forth with a message of hope in God, and were not altered or moved by the circumstances and challenges of the day; instead, they changed the circumstances and challenges of the day through the force of hope in God that brought forth a hopeful future for others.

I saw these Hope Reformers moving up five rows in this classroom as they learned these lessons of hope. The first lesson was "Hope in God," where they encountered Him as the "God who is enough for every life situation."

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."—Genesis 15:1

The second lesson was "Hope in People," where they encountered Him as the "Redeemer and Good Shepherd," and they received a "new view of people," where they developed a great hope in God's ability to redeem and love themselves and others. I saw that there had been so much disappointment toward other human beings, where the lens that life has been looked through has been critical analysis and evaluation, but I saw a hopeful appreciative lens come forth as this lesson was learned.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.—Psalm 139:14 (This is appreciation not only for ourselves but for others.)

The third lesson was "Hope in the Next Generation," where they encountered God as the "Patriarch and Fiercely Dedicated Father." When they received this revelation, God opened up hope for the next generation, renaming them "Generation Hope," not "Generation X-Y-Z," and they began to see the next generation as beautiful, and as a blessing.

But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."—Matthew 19:14

The fourth lesson was "Hope in Prayer," where they encountered Him as the "Great Communicator and One who Answers Prayer." When they received this revelation, they would receive a "new seeing," where they would be able to see out a very long way, like Abraham seeing Jesus' day. They would always build on their knees!

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.—Jeremiah 33:3

The fifth lesson was "Hope in Cities and Nations," where they encountered Him as the "Benevolent King of the Nations." When they received this revelation, a force of hope for geographical areas would come forth, and they saw the burning desire in the Lord's heart for cities and nations that would love Him well. I saw a new generation coming forth that will have hope for cities and nations set into their DNA code, and they will be our bank accounts, where they have a confidence in God that is unpolluted; and they would be like Solomons who didn't have to fight the wars that David fought, but they will be wise ones who will be able to rule and believe for a whole community and a whole area.

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.—Psalm 2:8

Once these Hope Reformers had gone through the process, and moved up these five rows of hope in the knowledge and understanding of God in the Hope Room by drawing near to listen as in Ecclesiastes 5:1, there was a great coronation. Then, these Hope Reformers were able to speak to the clouds of despair and they would go! They would usher in greater clouds of HOPE and would seed entire regions with Hope in God!

THEN THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "I am Enabling You (Hope Reformers) to Help Present Me with Cities and Nations that will Love Me Well and Hope in Me"

Specifically for 2010, it is a year of great harvest, and there will be seven nations that could experience storms of different types. These storms are not specifically geophysical, but they could be financial, political, etc. Right after He spoke this, Haiti had a real storm. I don't believe these storms are just going to be literal catastrophes; I am not a prophet of catastrophe, but for example, in Greece, there will be financial storm. But the Father has an answer! There will be the Hope Reformers of the Father's voice that have that personal devotion with Him; and they will come out with public decrees with a certainty, so that they can affect these nations and key people in the nations appropriately, so they can influence people and put their hand into Jesus' hand, in those hours of challenge.

Here is what He decreed to me as I went in to my personal place of devotion with Him (but these decrees are for everyone). This is what He said: "First, I want to show you what I am doing across the earth. I began to tell you in 1983 that I desire to establish cities and nations that would love Me well and hope in Me, as in Revelation 19:10, with the testimony of Jesus, where Jesus could enter in to the different arenas of life and not be lonely there, but be received and loved well there."

In 1983, I had been asking the Lord day and night, "God, what is on Your heart?" and in an open vision in a stairwell in Fort Collins, the Lord showed me several progressive pictures. I saw how Jesus had been mostly unperceived in cities across the earth, in the midst of the day and the arenas of life, like politics, education, social arenas, the arts, families, and the marketplace. The Lord shared how He desired to see His name vindicated as in Ezekiel 36:23, and how His heart burned to see cities and nations come forth that would love Him well and would receive His love and hope in Him.

"I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD", declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I show Myself holy through you before their eyes."—Ezekiel 36:23

Since 1983, I have met many of the Hope Reformers that I saw in that original vision, because they were real people and real places, and these ones are transforming their cities and nations to be those places that love Him well. It is happening!

THEN THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "There are Three Different Types of Nations that Would Come Forth this Year"

These nations have a choice to make. They can either have a preemptive strike of hope, or they will be in crisis-relief mode. The Lord gave me a picture of raising a child, and He said that either you raise a child in hope for their future or you don't, and you have to do crisis intervention later. So it's either a proactive hopeful building of the child or a reactive redemption. Both are faces of God—the Builder Hopeful God and the Redemptive God—but He is giving these nations the choice to choose hope and decree a different future for your nation!

The Lord showed me the first type of nations are Zechariah nations. In Luke 1, Zechariah had a promise for a son, and it didn't happen the way he thought, so he lost hope. The angel came to tell him of his promised son, and he couldn't believe the angel. So there are nations out there—where the angels are coming, other helps are coming, God is shouting—but their disappointment is too big for them to be enabled to get beyond it. I saw a plan out of the Lord's love to go after these nations. I believe these nations are England, Germany, Norway, Greece and France. I saw those who are breakers that would go into these places and bring great help, to be able to meet the disappointment over and over again with a real hope in God. Again, the Lord is extending the choice to these nations to choose hope and decree a different future for your nation!

The Lord showed me the second type of nations are Mary nations. Mary believed the angel—that she would have a son as a virgin. She didn't understand it, but she said, "Be it unto me according to Your will." These nations would sense the wind is moving like John 3:8, and they would respond to the wind though they didn't understand it all. Haiti is one. There is a great open door to Haiti right now, and God is flooding in the Hope Reformers to help the Marys like the angel Gabriel did, to put their hand into God's hand. We are giving this information for you to bathe it in prayer and know your part, and to bring the right building blocks for them there. Other Mary nations are Egypt, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

The Lord showed me the third type of nations are Simeon nations, where Simeon in the book of Luke was the one who had so cultivated the nearness of God that he saw in a little baby all the promises coming forth. Mary was one who said, I'll do this in faith, but I don't understand; and some nations will be like that. But there are other nations that will do it in faith and hope and they do understand. I believe Canada will be a Simeon nation. And I saw not just nations but cities, parts of South America, Africa, and India. They will see the eternal destiny, the hope of their calling, and their inheritance in God, and they will see how they are to affect other nations. There will be ones sent from those reading this article: ones from Bethel; Toronto; Atlanta; Concord; Morningstar; Washington, DC; and New York, to these different nations to tell them what they already know about who they are. You are being sent to coronate them.

THEN THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "I am Changing the Nature of Christianity to Hopeful Christianity"

There has been a change in the expression of Christianity from self-indulgence to a Sermon on the Mount lifestyle, and now He spoke of a new nature of Christianity or understanding of God coming forth. He has continually showed me that He is unearthing the treasure of His nature as the God of HOPE that has been buried for thousands of years as in Isaiah 45, and it will change the nature of Christianity from a despairing Christianity to a hope-filled Christianity.

I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.—Isaiah 45:3

The Scout showed me that the Body of Christ had often been sitting in the back room, staring at fears, but then I saw them move through a door into the radiant hope for the day and for the future in God in 2010. I saw that the Body of Christ was ready to advance and take territory as they helped to bring forth the celebration of Jesus all over the cities and nations of the earth. I saw it happening in businesses and families, like the Acts 2 community of Believers, and I was so touched that I cried and cried, and then I began to cry out for this reality.

He showed me that Hope is not an abstract word! Hope is confident expectation, appropriately, in our God. If you get a hopeful son or daughter, they smile at their future. If you get a hopeful Christianity, they smile at their future, and they bring forth a great harvest. Sheep will become warhorses through this process of hope, and they won't even recognize themselves!

He showed me the little areas, the little foxes of Song of Solomon 2:15 that pollute our hope. But He had an answer for us: everyone in this blueprint was to get a hope journal. When they would start to feel that distaste of hopelessness when they looked at another person, maybe impatience or frustration, they would go right to their journal, and take the hope promise and attack that area. This way they avoided becoming like Gulliver, who was strapped down by "little problems."

I dreamed of what people looked like with radiant hope! It was the Daniel 12:3 reality, "Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever." We are going to see the great lights come forth. That little dismal area and secret place in our hearts where we don't go, and where we have hopelessness, He is going to meet it with His nature in hope!

THEN THE LORD DECREED FOR 2010 TO 2020: "There will be Holy, Hopeful Alliances and 'Marriages Made in Heaven' This Year"

There are great lights that are to come together this year and help support one another. The Scout showed me that God is raising up Hope Reformers through right marriages, marriages made in Heaven, causing the right ministries to come together to bring forth the public decrees and plans from the Lord to help these nations. There will be sheep nations that will come forth this year. The Scout also gave a warning, that if ones go into nations in which they are not sent, premature spiritual or physical death could occur, because they will be trespassing the land and walking outside of the blessing of the Lord. These ones MUST be sent!

What is Your Part?

Your part is to see this Journey of Hope that the Lord is bringing us on in 2010 to 2020. He is taking us into this Hope Room where we meet and decree a face of God, where we start to walk out the day as Hope Reformers, confessing and living out who He is, and then we decree His voice in hope. I believe many reading this article are called to be these Hope Reformers, those who move into the force of Hope in God through adoration and devotion, who will hear the Father's voice in hope and will release decrees over nations and the Body of Christ for this hour.

Get on the journey of hope!

At this Time, there is a Fresh Release from the Father in Heaven of Abundant Grace
 
Munday Martin

Much of what I am about to write is so simple that I pray young and old can easily grasp it together. Subsequently, the understanding and the applications of it are going to be life-transforming, so get ready for a "new you" to emerge as you receive this word! I cannot emphasize enough how important the following statement is right now: At this time, there is a fresh release from the Father in Heaven of abundant grace for the weary!

There has been an onslaught of the enemy this past year to attempt to steal vision from the sons and daughters of the Living God. The hordes of Hell's relentless attempts to try to infuse apathy in the heart of the Lord's Bride are about to be disannulled by a Church arising with power. Much despair has come to many in this past season due to discouragement, disappointment, and even fear of the unknown. However, God the Father has an ace up His sleeve right now—the Spirit of Grace! As you receive it, a new zeal will come upon you to fulfill the high calling of God in your life in Christ Jesus. Don't throw in the towel now—the best is yet to come.

Overcoming Power

God is about to release the Spirit of Grace to help you overcome! As this happens, the revelation of the finished work of the Cross will ignite complete joy and liberty in you! The revelation of being dead to the flesh and alive in Christ will become so common for multitudes set free by it. God desires to fully eradicate the spirit of religion off of people's lives, and He is about to inject into His Church a desire for His Spirit today unlike any other time we have known in history. So, let's go on a quick journey together and find the pathway into unlimited life in the Spirit and the next great outpouring, reformation, and renaissance in the earth.

On certain airline flights that I fly on, flight attendants come down the aisle and offer passengers "Duty Free" items. Few people, however, purchase these items, which I find to be very parabolic. God is offering His spiritual gifts, His spiritual fruits, and an eternal, bliss-filled life transformed by Him—"duty free." It is "works-free." All of the life of God we can receive today was provided and made accessible by Jesus' death on the Cross, His burial, and resurrection. But now God desires to take His Body from head knowledge to experience. God is about to fill you with the intoxication of His Spirit again on a constant basis.

Get ready, Israel. Get ready, America. Get ready, Netherlands, Italy, Wales, and much of the United Kingdom and Europe. Get ready, Ukraine. Get ready, Thailand, Pakistan, and much of Asia. Get ready, New Zealand. Get ready, Puerto Rico. Get ready, islands of the Pacific. The new wine outpouring is here to stay!

Heaven Airways

Please allow me to be playful for just a moment: "Ladies and Gentleman, this is Your captain speaking! We want to thank you for flying Heaven Airways today. We are now soaring through the skies over the mountains that have stood in your way and the old ineffective foundations of your past. The flight attendants will be coming down the aisles right now to offer you, your church, your ministry, and your life "duty free" items. For those of you who have been serving the Lord more out of duty and religious, unfulfilled service, you are about to be refreshed and ignited by the Spirit of Grace as you buy these items without money and without cost" (Isaiah 55:1-2).

Sound fun? As you take this gift of God, you will be thrust into a new favor in your ministry, life, business, or what have you. God wants a company of people that He can fully consume with His divine nature, supernatural power, and fruits of the Spirit, who will go into the deep dark places of the world to harvest humanity right in the enemy's territory. At the appointed time of harvest, the farmer knows he must go into the fields to reap his crops, otherwise his harvest could perish.

Zechariah 12:10 talks about the Spirit of grace. Supplication and prayers for revival going up for millennium are about to be poured out on the nations. It will take the Spirit of grace to go into the dark places and reap! He will make it fun! The enemy knows it is a time of great harvest in the earth and he has tried to stop you, but the God of supernatural peace is about to crush satan under your feet. As you fully embrace the Helper, the Holy Spirit of God, you will begin to live the promise to implement God's rule, dominion, and reign over the nations Jesus gave to the overcomers in Revelation 2:26: And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations.

Is that just for the consummation at the end of ages? No! It is for right now! Many of you reading this, who have been tempted to retreat from battle, are about to encounter the Intoxication of the Holy Spirit again. This is not to negate the fact that you are filled with the Holy Spirit, but simply that the Holy Spirit is about to possess you with new grace.

For those who will embrace the new wine He is releasing right now, there will be supernatural advancement, fresh vision, a fresh sense of renewed purpose, and fresh faith that overcomes the world. Also, as a result of giving one's self over to this new realm of glory, experiences like trances, Third Heaven encounters, transportations, translations, and such other facets of wonder will become more available and common. Through these experiences, the Kingdom of power and glory will be deposited into your yearning hearts and flow out of you to the earth. New strategies will be given to you, and a season of acceleration will come upon you. Many of you are saying, "Man, I have wasted so many years!" God is trumping that by saying, "Yeah, but I am helping you redeem the time you lost in a quick work I am about to do!"

Being Intoxicated by God

Jesus warned in the parable of the sower not to allow the cares of life to choke out the Word. Many in our present day economy are consumed by the cares of life. Jesus said in Matthew 13:22 that those people who received seed among the thorns are those who hear the word; yet the cares of this world and the love of riches can come and choke out the word, and so they become unfruitful. Do you want to hear the good news though? As we become intoxicated on the Helper, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, our Teacher, He will cause Christ's divine nature to fully manifest through us as we yield completely to Him, and we will be inebriated by God Himself, and the cares of life will not touch us. Much persecution will come against those who fully embrace all of the Holy Spirit, but there will be great rewards! Creative miracles will explode, and if you thought you have seen all of God's signs and wonders, get ready for new ones!

Even as I am writing this, I am so overcome by His thick, rich presence that I can scarcely even write this article due to the pleasure He is releasing in me right now. If you like, just reach out and take some for yourself right now.

A Dividing Line

There will also be a dividing line which will be released in this season which will clearly divide those who want all or those who resist the supernatural that the Holy Spirit has to offer, as He ushers in a Glory and Love move of God across the earth. Believers who say yes to all God has to offer right now will be given keys to see regional outpourings, and the winds of change will begin to blow and influence culture around them.

Embrace all the Holy Spirit wants to offer, and receive great grace right now for acceleration and deployment into the harvest fields in media, missions, and much, much more! Many are called, but few are chosen. Be part of the chosen few.

Very Juicy Fruits

Many of you have strived to produce the fruits of the Spirit, and even fruitful ministries out of works, but let me show you a better way. Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in Me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." You are a branch, and as you abide in Jesus and allow the thick sap that flows through His vine to flow into your branch, you will begin to produce the juiciest fruits you have ever produced! Begin to let that sap flow right from Jesus into your branch, producing a supernatural love in you, a supernatural joy, a supernatural peace, a supernatural patience, and a supernatural kindness, and so on.

This will be so much fun, juxtaposed to the feeling of barrenness you may have carried before. God is about to stick to you like glue. Through intimacy, God will also impregnate you again with a baby and your ministries will bear much fruit! He is about to produce and unlock a miracle ministry on the inside of you that you don't even know is there. You will begin to be overtaken by a supernatural boldness as you become a gateway of signs and wonders in the earth. You will become a living tabernacle of God and begin to use the keys of the Kingdom to implement His will, purpose, and plan on the earth as it is in Heaven. Remember, God is a lover and He is looking for a burning-hot, fiery Bride right now that He can fully possess and fully consume, who will unlock the mysteries of His Kingdom and propel it into the greatest awakening the earth has ever seen.

Let's Pray: God, we pray You would begin to wipe shame from us now and intoxicate us with Your divine love. Lord, let us begin to gleam with fresh light, love, confidence, and dignity as we daily live in Your presence. Begin to establish grace in our hearts as we not only know about Your grace but experience it in Your glory, and fully become new creations in Christ. We decree we are a passionate people who do adventurous things, a passionate people who step out of the known into the unknown, and a passionate people who love hard!

I Received Three Distinct Simple Words: Faith, Discipleship, and Multiplication
 
Denny Cline
 

At the beginning of this year leading up to the ElijahList conference "What Is God Saying For 2010?", I received three distinct simple words: faith, discipleship, and multiplication.

As I have prayed into this word, all three began exploding in my spirit. I believe we are entering an entire decade of faith that will be an opportunity for the American, and perhaps, the worldwide Body of Christ, to experience and partner with God to see multitudes saved, healed and delivered. But the key is the word in the middle—discipleship.

It is way past time for the Body of Christ to "get over" the memory or fears of mistakes with discipleship from days gone by. Jesus clearly said we are to make disciples (of Him), not just seek converts. There are many in the Church today who have had their sins forgiven, but lack confidence, acceptance, or the boldness to obey Jesus' command because we have neglected it for years.

Go and Make Disciples

Our entire nation could have been predominately following Jesus Christ by now if we had not over reacted to sincere efforts that went overboard on this count. This is a fact not a theory, and it is still not too late to do something about it. We keep waiting for the next outpouring of the Holy Spirit when God is saying, "You have one. Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. I am here. I am in you. And I am ready to move through you."

In our desire to attract crowds, we have forgotten to spend our treasure in—sowing into the few. What we have done is gotten caught up in addition, when God is ready to multiply. I have felt lovingly admonished by the Holy Spirit that much of our own ministry, while doing good to encourage the Body of Christ, has forgotten the simple command—to make disciples.

We recently prayed over Mike and Lori Salley and a team going from our church to serve with Show Mercy in Uganda. As we did, we prayed for signs and wonders and miracles, including multiplication. They actually were privileged to see food for 50 multiply to feed around 200 children and had pots half-full left over. You can see this on their website (Show Mercy International).

The reason I share the testimony is this—God confirms His word with signs following. Signs point to something. In this case, it's God's desire to partner with His people when they step out in simple obedience to serve, including in the making of disciples. When we do, we will see the results of faith and supernatural multiplication. Here is a simple challenge that is not a theory if taken seriously: True disciples make disciples.

"Go and make disciples...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."—Matthew 28:19-20

Prepare the Way

Our city population is around 50,000, and our county 100,000. If 100 disciples make 2 disciples in a year, who will then make two the next, and so on—in nine years our entire city would be followers of Jesus. In ten years our entire county would be followers of Jesus. That's not a theory, it's a fact. If you took only 1% of our nation who are true disciples of Jesus and do the same thing, in seven years nearly the entire nation would be following Jesus.

I can hear all the excuses coming back at this idea. I have rehearsed them all. I think stadiums filled with crowds of worshipping saints and signs and wonders sound glorious. But what would be more glorious would be a nation turned to Christ as true followers who are Kingdom oriented Spirit-filled disciples of Jesus Christ. Many of them would go to the nations and do the same thing there. That would truly be the greatest move of God in history. We might even be privileged to be the generation that sees the Gospel preached to every tongue and people group to prepare the way for the second coming of Christ. Too good to be true? Not if we put feet to our faith.

Five Keys for 2010

Nicki PfeiferThere are 5 strategic keys that will help propel you into your future and the destiny God has for you this year. Ask Him for specific insight and direction for you and your life, and allow Him to manifest in these areas throughout 2010.

1. God is sounding a wake-up call.

God is sounding a wake-up call to the body of Christ! There has been a lull and a spirit of slumber that has spread over much of the body in the last couple of years. We have become satisfied with "church as usual." Unfortunately, many people have settled into a place of comfort and complacency—but God is shaking and waking this sleeping giant once again!

I hear the Lord say, "Some of you keep trying to snuggle in and get comfortable. I will not allow you to get comfortable. I did not create you for comfort; I created you to be a weapon of warfare."

God has created you to be on the cutting edge. When it is time for eaglets to learn to fly, the mother eagle begins to remove the soft down feathers in her nest. As she does this, the nest becomes more uncomfortable, and soon the eaglets begin to feel the sting of the sharp briars beneath. In order to seek more comfortable living quarters, they are forced to fly. In this same fashion, God is removing your place of comfort because it is time for you to fly.

This will be a year of agitation for many of you. Expect to feel restless in many ways. Something in you will refuse to be comforted in your present condition this year. It might even become downright frustrating for a season—but know that God is making you uncomfortable so you will be motivated to move into something new.

2. God is releasing an anointing to leave your past behind.

There is a special anointing for inner healing this year. There is a release of grace in the body of Christ to finally put the pain of your past behind you. I see the Lord of Hosts raising a mighty sword of freedom and severing the hold of your past. Chains will be broken this year! No longer will the pain of the past have power over you.

Many of the wounds that God will heal this year are painful experiences from churches and Christians. Many soldiers in the body of Christ have been wounded by their fellow soldiers and leaders in the church. There will be a special anointing this year for healing these specific wounds.

As healing comes, God will change your words from confessions of hopelessness and despair to declarations of victory and freedom. Therefore, focus on your language this year. Watch what you say. As this grace for freedom is released, you must align your language with what the Word of God is saying over your life. Negative words falling from your lips will have the power to negate the release of freedom.

3. God is giving us a special anointing for breakthrough.

"The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force" (
Matt. 11:12, NKJV).

It is time to fight for your deliverance and freedom. If you have stopped trying to be free and have surrendered to the control of the enemy, learning to live in your present crippling condition, it's time to pick up the sword and fight once again. God will give you grace to get off the sidelines this year, but you must take the first step toward the playing field.

God is releasing warring angels this year to defeat the powers of darkness that have come against you. The angelic army has never been in this exact position before. Now is the time to rise up and fight for your victory!

God is pouring out the power to break that thing that has held you back, kept you down and kept you out of your full victory! God is giving you power and authority to speak to that mountain in your path and see it crumble before you.

Your breakthrough is now. Keep fighting! Keep warring! The victory is in your mouth and in your hands!

4. God is opening up doors to fulfill your assignment.

This is the year when you will discover what you were created for. Some of you have been searching for your purpose, wondering where you fit, wondering why you were put here. Rejoice! This is your year.

Take advantage of learning opportunities this year. Make this a season of preparation. As you wake up (see Key No. 1 above), leave your past behind (Key No. 2) and experience breakthrough in areas where you have been bound (Key No. 3), this preparation will come more easily than ever before.

Pay special attention to opportunities that God puts before you this year. Attend conferences, schools and gatherings that center on releasing saints into their destinies and training you in the supernatural. These times of training will be important for you.

Create relationships and form alliances with people who can help you move into your destiny. It will become clearer as the year goes on how important these relationships will be to you in your journey. As God opens unexpected doors, do not delay. Step out in faith and anticipation as God positions you in significant situations in 2010.

5. God is releasing a fresh anointing for supernatural power and boldness.

God is releasing a new level of power and authority to the body. There is a new anointing of the Holy Spirit for supernatural signs, wonders and miracles. What many people have been waiting for in this arena will finally begin to take shape. This is the year that God is going to use ordinary people to demonstrate extraordinary kingdom power. He is teaching us to be supernatural, naturally.

This release of power will become clear as you prepare for your assignment and find your place in the body of Christ. So besides training, be bold in stepping into ministry positions and taking advantage of ministry opportunities.

"Do not fear," says the Lord. "As you step out in faith, you will discover a level of boldness in this season along with the power."

Unbelievers will be drawn in greater measure to the true power of God that will be demonstrated in this new season. Be ready to build relationships with people for the purpose of making disciples of them. Use wisdom in forming relationships, however, as Satan will try to use some insincere people to absorb your time and energy.

Allow God to do His work in you this year as He prepares and positions you. Wait in expectation and anticipation of greater things.

The best is yet to be!

A New Season, New Mantles and New Angelic Assignments
 
Barbie Breathitt

During Passover I saw a vision of two ladders being released from heavenly realms. The two ladders brought an increased measure of angelic activity here on earth compared to the one ladder that was released to Jacob in Genesis 28:12-14:

"He (Jacob) had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to Heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, 'I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants...'"

For every new season new angels are sent on assignment. The angelic realm comes to replace the old mantles of yesterday so we can receive the new heavenly mantles that will empower us to do the impossible. It's time to embrace God's divine purposes, His plans, and run with our new mantle that will now operate on a corporate scale. God has dispatched new angelic legions to come for such a time as this on earth. You are being reassigned new angels with powerful gifts and anointings in the financial realms.

"Behold, I make all things new!"

To walk in the new we must learn new ways and walk out of the old ways and comfort zones of the past. This is a time to enlarge, stretch, spare not, lengthen, strengthen, spread abroad, resettle, inherit and inhabit the new places (Isaiah 54).

We Will No Longer Just Talk the Talk
but Walk the Walk of Power

In my vision, I saw angels placing new, powerful gifts into our kidneys. The kidneys produce blood in our bodies as well as functioning as filters. I believe God is giving us new healing gifts that will touch and heal blood disorders such as cancer and leukemia at a cellular level.

The Holy Spirit then took me back to the 1950s. He said that that healing movement was given as the foundation for this new, powerful move of God to be built upon. This new move will totally eclipse the healing movement of the 1950s. People will be funneled into the churches to receive healing and deliverance as never before.

God's presence is manifesting like a breath of fresh air. Powerful mantles are resting over people to do extraordinary exploits for the Kingdom of God. Those who have been cloistered under God's wings resting in His presence during the last season have been empowered to do the "greater works." The Lord's anointed Word is coming forth with a fresh, corporate revelatory anointing. God's voice will echo through His chosen people. Those who believe His Word will begin to operate on a level of anointing we have never seen before. God is renewing our minds to walk His written words out in power and demonstration. We will no longer just talk the talk without walking the walk of power, signs, wonders, healings, and miracles.

The Church has been in transition. We are moving from the old ways of man's traditions, into knowing and moving according to the plans, ways, and purposes of God. Dry bones are coming to life as the breath of the Holy Spirit breathes resurrection power into the innermost parts of our being.

Repentance Enables Us to Walk in a New Direction

The prophet Hosea describes a process of moving from woundedness to wholeness, from sin to sainthood, from rebellion and death to revival and resurrection power. Hosea's prophecy is multidimensional, pertaining to us on both an individual and a corporate level.

Hosea 6:1-2 Come and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up. After two days He will revive us (quicken us, give us life); on the third day He will raise us up that we may live before Him.

Isaiah 26:19 Your dead will live; their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, for your dew is as the dew of the dawn, and the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

It is time to repent and return to our first passionate love of the Lord.

Acts 3:19 declares, "So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return (to God), that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord."

To repent means to "turn around and go in the opposite direction, change our mind, purposes, and what motivates our thought life." Repentance enables us to walk in a new direction away from sin, sickness and disease, turning our faces toward God and returning our hearts to Him. Repentance enables God to forgive our sins and cleanse us in His Blood. God's presence brings deliverance, healing, and restoration from the effects of sin; Psalm 68:8 says that also at the presence of God, "the earth quaked; the heavens also dropped rain..." Thus, as God's influence and presence increases here on the earth there will continue to be more earthquakes as the sons of God begin to manifest.

Revelation 11:11-13 But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. And they heard a loud voice from Heaven saying to them, "Come up here." Then they went up into Heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of Heaven.

Our lives are totally changed when we repent and turn toward God. When our mind is renewed with the word of life we are transformed from glory to glory into His image.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Divine Alignments Taking Place

Repentance aligns us to receive revival and a renewed, godly life. Revival brings an awakening that quickens the hearts of God's children. It restores vision, resurrects the dead, and brings the dying back to life. It removes spiritual contentment and indifference and ignites a new hope, energy, and desire in our hearts for God. Repentance creates a passionate desire for intimacy with God. During revival the Church is refreshed, restored and set ablaze. Spiritual passion is ignited when we encounter God in a profound and deep way. God-encounters ignite a spiritual freedom and liberty in His manifested presence and glory. Repent and turn to God; be recharged, awakened, and invigorated; rise up in His healing, delivering power.

God is on the move transforming a people who will prophesy according to His plans and shake this world from its complacency. Divine alignments are taking place as God is adjusting dry bones. When we align with God's plans and purposes, we will discover we are in the right place at the right time to receive favor and His great grace. The wind of the Spirit is blowing the dust from our dry, disjointed bones. When we are knit together in a spirit of unity, a strong, mobile skeletal structure will be revealed. By humbling ourselves and turning our faces to God through repentance, the necessary adjustments are made to bring restoration to the Body of Christ.

The breath of the Spirit is blowing upon an army of dry bones once again (see Ezekiel 37:1-10). Our bones are in place, and muscles, sinew, ligaments and a covering of flesh are being added. A fresh breath of the prophetic is rising to bring new life and strength. Believers who will prophesy according to God's will are on the scene to usher in the new move of God.

The Spirit of God Fills Us to Overflowing in Resurrection Power to Do Great Exploits

John 5:28 Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice.

1 Corinthians 15:35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

The Spirit of God fills us to overflowing in resurrection power and authority to apprehend dominion glory and Kingdom grace to do great exploits.

Hosea prophesies, "Yes, let us know (recognize, be acquainted with, and understand) Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord (to appreciate, give heed to, and cherish Him). His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the (heavy) rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth" (Hosea 6:3).

The prophet Hosea also prophesied about the latter and the former harvest rains. As resurrection power is embraced by mature Believers, they will enter the fields of souls that are white unto harvest with God's power to release salvation, healing, and deliverance. God has prepared an established people to walk in a place of grace to harvest souls for His Kingdom. The season of latter rain outpouring will empower our spiritual gifts and fruits to flow in a place of fullness that will bring in the last days' harvest of souls.

It's time to let go of the old, and reach for the new mantles, embracing the high calling of God in our lives to win souls and make disciples. The Holy Spirit has a divine plan. He will lead and guide us into the new by teaching us how to walk in resurrection power. Like Esther, you were created for such a time as this. Ask largely so your joy may be full.

John 16:23-24 In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

God's breath to you,

NEW SEASONS SPRINGING FORTH ~ APRIL 2010

Terri G. Jordan

I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “You are now coming into the realization that you are indeed a new creation in Me. Old ways of life are becoming unfamiliar, the old mindsets are being transformed and now a renewing is taking place within you.
 
As the seasons change in the natural, so shall your season change in the spiritual. New life in me is springing forth. Those things that have laid dormant in you shall shoot out and develop as you begin to view everything with My mind. As it is with time lapse photography, so shall it be in this next season. An entire season can mature within a matter of moments in the spirit realm. Do not view life through the lens of man. Ask Me to give you kingdom eyes. Knowledge of My glory will mature quickly and begin to clothe you. Watch the blades of grass as they welcome the springtime. Notice how quickly the grass will cover the landscape with no effort on its part…so shall My glory be.
 
I am the root of David, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. I am breaking forth. Listen for My roar, it is the sound of My glory going forth. My roar will awaken My sons and daughters as the sunshine awakens each new day.
 
How can this be, you ask? I have illustrated this in the natural. You say, “but Lord, I do not see it.”  I say, “you must see it.” The beauty of springtime lies dormant during the winter months. You do not see the flowers, yet underneath the ground, hidden from man’s view, a transformation is taking place. My beauty sleeps until the time is right, secure in its hiding place patiently waiting for nature’s kiss. Then suddenly it happens, from deep within the seed, its roots begin to stretch forth after a long winter’s nap. The seed begins to produce life and push its way through the dark, hard ground. The harder it pushes, the warmer it becomes, until finally it pushes through into the fullness of the sun. There is no struggle in the push, see, I spoke in the beginning for it to be fruitful and multiply. The seed has the knowledge contained within to perfectly follow its course. Despite the darkness, despite the hard ground, despite the obstacles in its way, it continues to push until it breaks through. But, its destiny has just begun.
 
So it is with you, My precious ones. You have been pushing your way out of the darkness, pushing through the hard times, gazing upwards as you grow. Hold on, remain steadfast, continue pushing your way through, because just over the top of adversity you will breakthrough into My glory. As easily and effortlessly as the sprout finds its way above the soil, so shall My children find their way. The seed determines what the sprout shall become. The seed contain everything the sprout needs to reach maturity. My seed in you will produce My likeness and it contains all you will ever need to reach maturity. My incorruptible seed which is watered by My word will grow outside of time as you know it. My seed growth is determined by the death of the outward shell in which it inhabits. Once this happens, then My seed can and will begin to reproduce after Its own kind! Embrace the death of the outward man, rest in the growth of the new creation springing forth in you. This is the course of your destiny. My seed has been planted in your heart soil and within My seed is everything that I AM."
 
In HIS service,
Terri G. Jordan

Needed: Divine Wisdom for the Time of Great Storms
 
James W. Goll
 

2010: The Beginning of the Perfect Storm

At the beginning of 2010, my first of the year message was on "Responding to Storms." I have addressed this theme in my weekly email communications earlier in the year, but I felt led to bring this to your attention once again. When I gave this message, I knew I was speaking to my very city, prophetically, as well as wisdom needed for our nation and the nations. I shared on this theme everywhere I went for the entire month of January.

Several established prophets are declaring that the "Perfect Storm" is coming or even upon us. Locally, the historic 1,000-year flood hit Nashville in May. We have watched the Greece economic meltdown; we are still in the midst of the Gulf Oil Spill catastrophe; the Iraq and Afghanistan wars still go on with no real resolution in sight; and turmoil is mounting in many nations.

In 1987, the Lord showed me part of what would take place in the year 2010, and I remember it all so well. The Holy Spirit spoke to me in the night seasons that the world would begin to unravel in 2010, and it would be a hinge in world history where things would never return to what we have considered normal. In 1987 the Holy Spirit showed me that 2010 would be the beginning of the TIME OF GREAT STORMS. It is upon us!

A Worldwide Shaking and Awakening

I believe it is the best of times and for those without faith—it is the worst of times. The glory and the shaking come together. It is true on both sides of the coin. We are crossing the threshold into the Third Great Awakening and yet we are crossing the threshold into a great Worldwide Shaking.

This last weekend, when I ministered in the Baltimore, MD area, they had one of the largest recorded earthquakes in over 35 years in the area, registering at a http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103579607432&s=64890&e =001Oh2-Ac3uovWnW6tkzjFiv_UK3KOjE3J8JvxwBn_GlJXi7BfVxKlUE2vc mhrt1JjYWF3uG9NHYlnEzi1Pjs3PIi6-dLt4D7B0TH-Kw68MDVJT8Vd9vu0c PsrRYlwslkzsPVHIVVBSykxcSuib2kFrZ6RUIEKX8Om7qUj539hikxBPOBeZ AFUdNv4EVH-NUz1g - 3.6 magnitude . The foundations of the earth are groaning in this hour! But God's people must arise and His Spirit must be poured out! It is time for the Body of Christ to move past our petty spirit of political correctness (incorrectness actually) and cleanse ourselves from this influence. We must be salt and light.

We know that storms are coming, but what we need are the wisdom solutions on how to respond to these perilous storms.

"Tell My People to Seek Me for Divine Wisdom"

Recently, I shared with you that the Holy Spirit gave me a dream where I heard the following, "The world is coming to the end of her wisdom. You are crossing a threshold where the world will not have the answers to life's dilemmas. Tell My people to seek Me for divine wisdom. Seek Me for wisdom that goes beyond natural reasoning—for the wisdom which comes down from above."

Yes, I have searched the Scriptures, I have written on these themes in my books and e-mail communications over the years, but I am being stirred once again as a watchmen on the walls! It is time to wake up and take our place as guardian intercessors! Blow a trumpet in Zion! Sound an alarm on His Holy Mountain!

I have found that throughout Scripture the primary response needed is not one of self-justification—but it is the CRY FOR MERCY!

Crisis Intervention

The following is taken from a section of my outline on Crisis Intervention in my study guide Revival Breakthrough:

Times of shaking are coming. His plumb line is being dropped, the canon/plumb line of His Word, and of His character being dropped in the midst of the Church, the nation and the nations, resulting in chiropractic adjustments to achieve His purposes. As this occurs we are seeing storms coming.

1. Storms of God's Judgment—Our Response: A cry for mercy requiring brokenness and tenaciousness.

2. Storms of Dark Demonic Attack—Our Response: An authoritative place of intercession, requiring faith, endurance, boldness, believing in the promises and no common ground with the enemy.

3. Storms of Consequences of Sins—Our Response: Repentance requiring humility, lack of defensiveness.

Each storm requires a different Biblical response, but in one way each storm requires the same response—Desperation and Intercession. Ultimately every storm can redemptively be used for God's purposes and to forge character in us. James 2:13 states: "Mercy triumphs over judgment."

Let us pray into the storms of life and lift up a CRY FOR WISDOM AND MERCY IN THE MIDST OF EVERY STORM. I tell you, we have crossed the threshold into the DAYS OF GREAT STORMS and the DAYS OF GREAT VISITATION!

Let us be salt and light! Call on His name! Let us be ambassadors of hope for such a time as this!

With an urgency!
