The gates to a fresh season for the Body of Christ have just been opened to us. We have literally just passed from one spiritual season to the next. What an incredible season it is, and will be! This is one we have been foreseeing and foretelling about coming into existence for awhile now, with excitement and possibly a little impatience in the wait as well. I believe the Holy Spirit is establishing a witness within many, and maybe even within most, as to this foretold season being here and NOW being the time.
As you slumber in the rest of the Lord AND, as you slumber in the resting and sleep for your physical body, you will be filled and receive throughout your entire body the manifest presence of healing to such a degree you at one time thought to be unimaginable. Not anymore! You have dared to believe into a new level and because you believed, even against all the skeptic's verdicts and negative proclamations, you will receive, not ten, not twenty, rather, a one-hundred fold return. This is your inheritance. This is your due return. You will see blind eyes opened, veins and arteries rebuilt and made anew without loss of function, tongues loosed to speak for the first time, financial miracles and surprise inheritances. A season of seven years of plenty, of abundance, and kingdom truth sweeping the earth at a new precedence will begin over the course of the next several months. It will begin as a trickle but transform into a swiftly flowing river from one side to the other. Be a faithful steward of My kingdom within and the Kingdom will be seen outwardly without dispute - giving no one valid cause against you. I keep hearing, "The days of Elijah are upon us". "See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn and reconcile (produced by repentance) the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and strike the earth with judgment." Malachi 4: 5 & 6 When the spirit/heart of Elijah is moving through the land and the hearts of the people it is a time of true humbleness that gives into repentance. Humility always leads to repentance. When the hearts of the people are moved in the spirit of Elijah if you will, and become repentant; repentance opens the door for reconciliation and restoration, for the land, as well as, in a personal manner. In the next ten years we will be witnesses of a great outpouring of truth and the Spirit of the Lord being poured out upon and into this generation. This will usher in a great return of people and lands/nations back to the Lord in a most significant way, as well as a restoration of the house of Israel into the Holy Land of their inheritance. There's a strong emphasis I feel in my spirit on truth being released and RECEIVED as such. "When He, the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all the Truth. For He will not speak His own message but He will tell whatever He hears, and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come. He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of what is Mine and will reveal it to you." John 16:13-14 There are messages and mindsets that we have held as truth, but in actuality are not whole. During this outpouring there will be a cleaning up and revealing taking place within those of us who are already among the Body. To the humble of heart the thought of this is not offensive but rather reflecting a liberation from whatever may be a stronghold and hindrance to us from walking in the fullness of Christ. "So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, if you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples. And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." John 8:31-32.

Even amidst the turmoil and chaos there's a heavenly awe filling the spiritual atmosphere. Can you feel it?
Avert your attention from the distractions that wish nothing more than to rob the people and this nation from the victory and blessings that have just been released unto us. This is a time for intentional praise because of, and "into", our breakthrough at hand. Be careful and intentional not to fuel the fire that is trying to be ignited by the adversary of our blessings. The fire is fueled by giving the nonsense distractions undue attention. I hear the Lord speaking to my heart, "This is the time for creativity to flow over and above the temptation to look upon negativity." There's a new flow of creativity being released. Not only to Believers but to all people. There has been a release of creativity into the atmosphere because there has been a 'freeing up' that has taken place within the atmosphere of the heavenly realm in earth. Unseen chains of bondage have been broken. I'd like to say that I completely understand all of what that means but honestly, more than anything else, I'm merely conveying what I hear and sense God speaking into my spirit. We must keep in perspective that this chaotic uprising is temporary and not allow it to pierce our soul causing fear, or to wrongfully lash out in response. The Lord has given me the impression of people or children who have been in a restrictive or even confined environment for a lengthy amount of time. When they are permitted unrestricted freedom to move about or make choices at their liberty, oftentimes in the initial start up they seem to run rampant and as if having no self control at all. For most, after a wild stretch at trying out their unhindered boundaries, for the most part, they will settle into a balanced moderation. We will see this occurring. Do not allow discouragement to well up within you for the greatest measure of this behavior is temporary. I sense a new flow of creativity for creating businesses and restructuring existing businesses. A new wave of creativity in the way we show love toward our fellow mankind, the way we speak out to diminish fear in our nation, the way we perceive to be doing acts of kindness in expressing love and support to those who are in need. I sense a different type of creative flow entering into and therefore coming from the entertainment industry. These talented ones will sincerely feel the heartbeat of this nation as never before while writing, producing, and delivering a much more appreciated, sought after, and respected style of performance and type of industry. We have stepped into an amazing time of shifting into one of the greatest seasons of our nation and, of our kingdom purposes. Will it be perfect? No. Will it always be easy? Absolutely not. What will it be? It will be a process, it will be full of God's hand, His grace, His love, His promises being fulfilled step by step, and more and more accounts of His manifested Presence (glory), not only in our churches but also in our streets and places of business. Folks, the Holy Spirit has entered the building! While we were visiting at Ground Zero a few evenings ago, I was praying and heard the Lord speak to me, "I have heard the crying of the people and the prayers of My people. I have been and still will restore NYC but even better yet I am renewing the city. This renewal will stretch beyond the city boundaries and affect far more than even this state. The effects of NYC produces effects throughout the entire nation. Watch what I do with this city and therefore do with this nation just as the ripple effect within a body of water produces a greater and greater motion the farther out it travels."
I have a sense the restoration has to do with materialistic type of things...buildings, economy, the grooming of the land, those things visible to the natural eye, so to speak. While the renewal has to do with more of the state of mind and spirit.., a spiritual change of course & what is currently the common way of thinking. A type of atmospheric change that is felt and yet seen by way of behavioural changes, if you will. I encourage you to pray for the full and abundant restoration and renewal of NYC in no less the whole manner and will of the Father God. Let's come into total agreement with Him for NYC to enter into the blessings of the Lord. When the Holy Spirit suddenly opened the doors for us to make this trip to NY (literally opened the door one day and we were here the next day) I felt so deeply within my spirit that God designed the trip from start to finish for a purpose that was not simply as it appeared to be for. Honestly, I never expected to even like NYC much but to my surprise, I love it! God has been allowing me to discern within my heart what more there is to this city than what merely meets the natural eye. He is all in this city! Jesus loves NYC and His heart is, that as a people called by His name, we would cease to judge it and begin to bless it so it may be released to move within it's full potential of what He has created it to be & designed it to fulfill. When we judge it we are unknowingly cursing it. When we speak blessings about it we are freeing it to be God's city of kingdom influence to the rest of the nation. Let's be people of blessing not cursing - that's who we are created and designed to be! God bless the USA! Taffie Beisecker There's no questioning that we, as Believers have a very real enemy. If he can't have our spirit, he most certainly wants to rob us of anything and everything else that he possibly can. He's cunning, and more often than not, deceptively posing as something he's not. Here's the catch in that, with everything that our enemy is, God is much more! Which means, for every plan and snare the enemy sets for us, God has a plan already intact to stop us from stepping foot into the trap. If we do happen to find ourselves caught up in the enemy's trap, God has a plan for our release from it. It's all about who's voice we incline our hearing to and who we choose to obey.
It all sounds easy enough, doesn't it? I mean honestly who would 'choose' to obey our enemy over our Father? That's the part where the enemy's cunningness comes into play. He tends to speak to our flesh, as to where God on the other hand, speaks to our spirit. The desires of our flesh can oftentimes become louder and temporarily more satisfying than the desires of our spirit man....or so we are at times, momentarily deceived into believing. Have you ever been there where the temptation of your flesh became so great that instead of doing or saying what you knew to be the right thing, instead you gave in to your flesh, well, simply because you wanted to? In the heat of the moment, if felt good to let the flesh win the battle, didn't it? I'm not pleased to tell you, I have been there, more than once. For the moment it may have felt gratifying, then shortly afterwards there comes that small voice of wisdom whispering into your heart of hearts. Possibly the consequences of allowing the flesh to rule over the spirit began to appear one by one, declaring the mistake of a fleshly victory. Both have their unique way of shining the light of truth into our decision making skills when void of self control and Holy Spirit discernment. My point in saying all of this is quite simply, in all things God has a plan for our well-being and a plan that works out for our best in the final outcome of the circumstance. The enemy can only have access to what we give him access to. Sure he can try to get in and disrupt and may very well do so, but merely on a temporary time table, while we are yet moving into the early stages of the plan God has set forth for us. I equally like the translations from the Amplified Bible, as well as, The Message for 1 Peter 5:8-9, so I'm listing both. As I study the word, I often like to read the same scripture from several different translations and allow it to absorb into my understanding. The way one person phrases something differently from the way another person phrases it, although both meaning the same thing, can many times be the key in clicking into the depth of understanding we need to have in it. God speaks to each one us in the manner and with the words we can best grasp as the individual person we are. With that being said, what a blessing it is to have different translations to study of the same word! "Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of your's the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset -rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world." Amplified Bible "Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith." The Message We are in a wonderful season of the spirit at this time. We are at the very brink of so many promises, callings and opportunities of acceleration being at hand. It's most definitely an exciting time to experience on a personal, as well as a corporate level. It's wisdom to keep in mind, (although not allowing it to become our priority of focus) during this time, right at the brink of growth and expansion is when our enemy becomes the most determined to hinder us in our walk with the Lord, in our relationships with one another, and in our success of advancement. We need not be afraid, merely wise to his schemes and well prepared. Awhile back, the Holy Spirit spoke a word to me personally, about this very onslaught and tactic of the enemy upon my life. He has instructed me to share it with His people that we all may be sharp and alert to the enemy's plans and prepared within our own hearts and minds beforehand. Recognizing the enemy at work is the greatest portion in winning the battle at hand. It's not unlike him to use the people we feel closest to. After all, that's where the greatest hurt and damage can be inflicted from when it's all said and done. We're all well aware, the closer the relationship is, the greater the wound of division from a relationship is. It's natural for our hearts to feel that, and it's alright to feel the pain. It's more of a matter of how we respond to the pain. When we respond by being led by the Spirit, we do well, no matter how much pain we feel at the moment. The response from the flesh/emotions, which is actually more of a reaction than it is a response, is what causes the greatest disruption and chaotic consequences to enter into our lives, and/or to continue longer than what may have been able to initially be averted. "Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7 When we submit to God, that means we are surrendering all that we are to Him. We are emotions, we are words, we are actions and not forgetting; most importantly, we are His. The Holy Spirit said to me; "Tomorrow holds a clear and precise transition. There is a mantle coming upon My people - the mantle is falling. Let the sound of freedom ring. Freedom will be heard with a clear, unmatched sound. There is danger up ahead, the enemy wants your head and is in hot pursuit to get it. Someone whom you have least expected will turn on you. Keep out of the snare by carefully choosing your words. Let each word be guided by My Spirit. I will disarm the plan and plot set out against you and remove the ammunition as you walk in obedience to My Spirit in every step of the way. Watch and pray. Be clean in every situation. This is a time where much prayer is required. The prayer will lift you above what is coming. What you have been waiting for will come as a result of this prayer feasting. Arise in the morning and begin with prayer. Let the prayer consume your day and end your waking hours with this continued prayer. Be filled. Be consumed. The days are numbered and none are to be spent in vain. The far reaching impact of this fervent, hot prayer fast (feast) will far outweigh the time invested in it. You are a bona fide believer and it shall be known." If you're like me, I had never even used the word, 'bona fide', so I really wasn't sure what it meant exactly. In case you're in that same boat, the word bona fide from Merriam & Webster's Dictionary - 'made in good faith without fraud or deceit'; sincere; genuine'. Betrayal is a rough experience to go through, regardless of the why's or how's involved in it. Nevertheless, there's a side of it that we need to be mindful of but too often lose sight of because of the pain it inflicts upon us. The person whom we view as the betrayer, isn't necessarily setting out with evil or ill intent. There's a reason why Satan is called a liar, a thief, an accuser of the brotherhood and desiring so much to divide the house of God. His scheme of attacks are by lying to us about who we are, trying to rob us of our authority and blessings we have been given, he accuses us to ourselves and to one another, and he wants to divide us in an attempt to single us out in vulnerability. "Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves." Matthew 10:16 I believe it's fairly safe to say that every one of us at some point in our lives has fallen prey to being deceived by the devil, or having a part in believing an accusation posed upon another member of the body of Christ. Just as we very much need grace personally for our sinful nature that still arises here and there, we also need to allow grace to be active on whomever may fall prey to that same deception against us. It's not easy, but it is doable through leaning in on the Lord and following His instructions to us. It's called, forgiving, and it comes by way of His active grace within our hearts. We don't know what avenue the enemy has accessed our fellow believers through, but take Peter for example, he betrayed Jesus, not because Peter was evil or meant harm to Jesus. He loved Jesus! Peter betrayed Jesus from the place of fear. Fear has a way of changing our perspective if we give it a place to roam around within us. Peter feared he would come under the same persecution as Jesus was, so he did what his fear was driving him to do and sought to protect his own well being. Just as the Father loved Jesus, He also loved Peter just as much. Just as the Father loves us, He loves the one who has sinned against us just the same. Just as He has a plan for our advancement, He also has a plan for their advancement too. We do well to pray for one another, in every given situation. We're all human, and we all make mistakes. We sometimes make mistakes that we wish we could take back and undo, and although we cannnot reverse time nor our actions, we can allow God's perfect grace to cover everything from our own sins to the sins of other's within our life. His grace is more than sufficient to make anew and good with all we have done wrong. The above word from the Lord isn't really about the betrayer, although when we are betrayed, in our vulnerability of the flesh, it becomes tempting to focus on the betrayal itself. The word is actually about the condition and preparation of our own heart in allowing His Spirit to rule over and above the voice of the enemy or, above our own fleshly desire to react adversely, in the midst of attack and woundedness, The word is also about giving us a reminder of hope and reassurance of a good and rewarding outcome following our obedience through the trial. God is a good father, and a good father prepares his children for good and bad situations. For those who mistakenly believe that being a Believer of Christ means we will never endure hardships or trials, that's simply not true. God has clearly told us in His word that while here on earth, we will go through some bad stuff. (John 16:33) He also is faithful to instruct us how to walk through these times and always gives us the hope and promise of the reward to follow. The key is to keep our eyes fixed upon Him and not the situation at hand. We are accountable for our own words and actions, and it's important to remember to keep in continual communication, communion and surrender to the Lord. We are the children of a good Father, and He has prepared for us a good testimony into the next chapter of our story. Do you have prophetic words that you've not seen come to pass yet? These can be words given to you or words you've spoken, either\or.
If you have them recorded in text or audio, get them out, otherwise, allow the Lord to once again bring them to the forefront of your recollection. We are entering into the time for former words of promise to become manifest in your life. It's time! We have stepped into the acceleration of the Holy Spirit moving through and upon us in such a way that promises, destinies, understanding, breakthroughs, healing, provisions, former prophecies, promotions, (but not limited to merely what I've named off) will be brought into fruition at an extremely rapid rate. Right and left we will look and see God happening in our lives. Some things we will remember only as we are seeing them occur. We'll be like, 'oh yeah, I now remember that God said He was going to do that!' Does it mean we won't have trials in the midst of this time? Does it mean that no struggle will befall us? No, that's not what it means. But we will clearly see and discern the Lord at work in the midst of it and find that the rest and peace within the trial will flow with a much greater ease and grace than what many of our past experiences have been. With this new and increased level of distribution to us, will also be a new level of responsibility but also a new level of understanding to better steward what the Lord has placed within our realm of stewardship. It's the Father's good pleasure to bring those past, seemingly forgotten and overlooked promises, into the 'now' with us. In fact, within my spirit I can hear our Father chuckling with delight in anticipation of the exuberant joy we will have upon the unfolding of these promises into our lives! "When the Lord brought back the captives {who returned} to Zion, we were like those who dream (it seemed so unreal). Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us! We are glad! Turn to freedom our captivity and restore our fortunes. Oh Lord, as the streams in the South (the Negeb) {are restored by the torrents}. They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. He who goes forth bearing seed and weeping {at needing his precious supply of grain for sowing} shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126 In 2005 the Lord showed me a vision of what He referred to as, "the Samuel Call". As I watched this vision play out, I saw youth and young adults walking in a forward, unbreakable and sure-footed stride. I then heard the Lord speak, "There will be a group of teens who will hear My voice and will radically answer the call in spirit and in truth. From that, a revival of hearing My Holy Spirit speak will break out among the young generation. They will rise up in boldness to answer My call. The Samuel Call. This young generation will move mightily in boldness and truth - unafraid and unashamed to do My work and to declare in purity the name of Jesus Christ. They will become as an army of Calebs (those who know they've heard My voice and proceed accordingly, regardless of the circumstances surrounding them.)"
Before proceeding, I'd like to clarify; although I have seen a vision and heard a word from the Lord specifically in regards to the youth and young adults, He also has given me witness within my spirit, though this uprising will predominantly begin with and include the younger people of this generation, it will not consist exclusively of them. God will not exclude any who have a heart for, and who are willing to move in His love and obedience for what He's doing in this Samuel Call movement. He looks upon the heart, searching for love and obedience above all else. I recently heard Him say, "Because you have dedicated unto Me and found value in the youth of this generation and because you have built up the gifts that those with religious mindsets have formerly torn down, therefore, your prayers of dedication have been heard and are powerful for the time at hand in becoming ripe." This present generation of spiritual fathers and mothers have stood in the gap for the generation to follow, preparing the way for them to be raised up as leaders for the Lord and, not merely as those following in the shadow of the present generation. Hannah cried out to the Lord, asking to bring forth a son (1 Samuel chpt 1), and the Lord heard her and had favor upon her. She bore a son, named him Samuel, and as she vowed to do, gave him back to the Lord, dedicating his life for service unto God. As a young boy Samuel heard the Lord call his name, and answered the call. (1 Samuel chpt 3) He became a mouthpiece for the Lord, and because of his faithfulness to Him, the Lord was also faithful to fulfill every word Samuel spoke. Hannah prayed, conceived, birthed and then, gave back (sent out) to the Lord that which He had brought forth through her. In that example, we have a clear direction of how the apostolic mantle is to function within the church. (The apostolic heart will; Intercede for, be a safe environment for new ministries to develop, allow them to become who and what they are, send them out but not in abandonment.) Just as Samuel heard and answered the voice of the Lord calling him, so it is that this generation of spiritual fathers and mothers are birthing (mentoring) those who will be called sons of God, because they are led by the Spirit of God, having ears to hear. (Romans 8:14) In this past decade, we have been witnessing the apostolic mantle being restored back into position, as well as, having a greater sensitivity and understanding of it's importance to the Church. The restoration of the office of apostle and the apostolic function is vital for this army of 'Calebs' & 'Samuels', to emerge and be sent forth. The name 'Samuel' means; heard by God. The portion of this anointing will be of those who have ears inclined to the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit, and who's words are powerful to accomplish that which they are spoken on behalf of. Such as; 'be healed', and they were healed! This will become the 'norm' within the lives of these Believers. The portion of the anointing such as a 'Caleb' would be of those who have a perspective from complete faith. They will boldly and without wavering choose to believe God at His word regardless of what the natural surroundings might declare. They walk by faith and not by sight. This generation of radical believers of which I saw in the vision, walk in a combined anointing such as Samuel and Caleb, and are radical transformers and revivalists who are emerging presently to set the world ablaze for Jesus Christ. They will not look like what the church has previously looked like, because they were not birthed from a religious system/mindset. Rather than coming to know the Lord through means of traditional religion, they came thirsty to know Him as He truly is, in His unconditional love and the liberty of the Spirit. Therefore, they walk in a holy boldness, as those who are confident in knowing Him and being known by Him.They have a single focus for Jesus, bringing the true message of Christ to the world. In the good news of the gospel there is no judgment or condemnation. They walk in His authority and the Word is established in their hearts, and therefore pours from their mouths like healing balm. They are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and make no apologies for their faith. Although they do not have the appearance of what the Church has been expected to look like according to traditional religion, they are completely grounded in relationship with the Lord. They walk in true liberty, power and love of the Spirit, bringing about a Holy Spirit revolution to be seen by the world, and the fire of true revival to the Church. To many, this Holy Spirit uprising/awakening/movement, whatever you are stirred to refer to it as, will be considered a revival, yet to many others, it will be considered a Holy Spirit revolution. Revival - Act or instance of reviving, or state of being revived; restoration. Renewed attention to something. Renewed interest in religion, after indifference and decline; a period of religious awakening. Revolution - A progressive motion of body around a center or axis, such that any line of the body remains throughout parallel to it's initial position, to which it returns upon completing the circuit. Motion of any figure about a center or axis. Completion of a course, as of years, or of any recurring series of events. A total radical change. A fundamental change in political organization, or in a government or constitution, the overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another. *(Please note that in making reference of a Holy Spirit "revolution" in regards to an 'overthrow or renunciation of a government ruler' would be in connection only of the government of Jesus Christ being established within our hearts, and not that of an actual overthrow of any government official or constitution in the natural.) Jesus did not come to the earth to bind us up with more rules and laws. He came to do exactly the opposite and to set us free from the letter of the law. This Holy Spirit revolution will be so different and powerful, simply because those at the forefront are not held captive by the mindset that God is religious, nor are they trying to keep the dead works of the law. It is the prelude to a reformation of the Church, into genuineness. Genuine - 1. Actually belonging to, or proceeding from, the reputed source, origin or author; authentic. 2. Of or pertaining to the original stock or source 3. Sincere, free from hypocrisy. Is that not what we've been crying out for? Believe it or not, the world has been searching for genuineness, and when we see this emerge, we will also bear witness to a great harvest being brought into the church. What will we see first? A breaking away of the religious filter that we have often been ensnared by, which has been causing us to wrongly view ourselves, and others as well. This is surely a depiction of how the Lord desires each and every one of us to walk in His Spirit. It's the foundational simplicity of our salvation. It's those who worship in Spirit and in Truth. That's where we find genuineness. It's the good news of the gospel in action. Lately, it seems that everywhere I look, everything I'm hearing, nearly everything I'm being instructed to read is in regards to the favor of God upon us. Our Father God most certainly has a message for us within all of this.
We are now in a transitional season of the Lord bestowing a greater measure of favor upon each one of us. He wants us to enter into a new and greater depth of understanding His favor he has already and still is, dispersing to each and every one of us. In this time, don't look around in comparison of what favor you might see being released upon someone else's life and circumstances. Just as the gifts of His Spirit are all dispensed to each one according to how He pleases, and yet all for His kingdom purposes, so it is also with the measure and type of favor given to each individual. Receive this portion of favor, with gladness and responsible stewardship, as it is dispensed into your life, for the reward is MORE in due season. With this increase of favor also comes many, many surprises!! Some of which will lead you out of your comfort zone, nevertheless, no worries - ALL of His surprises are good. So VERY GOOD! "Prepare to be astounded"! We are in such a season of great grace, that as you do what seems to be 'a little', He will take it - advance it - transform it, into what turns out to be 'allot'. In other words, our sincere efforts will be multiplied in comparison to what they appeared to be accomplishing on the surface. Within the areas you have felt despair, and the moments maybe even anguish, the Lord is bringing you through with more favor in such a surprising way. The way through is being cleared out, as He goes before you and leads you through. Don't be surprised, (although you will be) if you do not 'see' Him preparing the path for you beforehand. For most, this way through will come as a 'suddenly', and when it does....delight! He reminded me of; Deuteronomy 31:8 "God is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you. Don't be intimidated. Don't worry." As He placed all of this into my spirit, I could feel His heart's desire is for our joy to be stirred up as in an atmosphere of celebration for what He is blessing us with. Give Him glory! God is good. Always. Yesterday morning as I sat with the Lord and asked Him what He wanted my attention drawn to for the day, He reminded me of a word He had spoken to me in 2007. He then proceeded to prompt me in scribbling down a 'do not forget' note for myself, letting me know He wanted me to once again address that word as if it being for 'now'. I commenced to make the note, telling myself to - find it tomorrow (which is now today).
Going back into yesterday evening, during a time of praying for provision, I had been given a vision of a mountain standing before me. As I looked at the mountain, I heard the Lord say, "I'm splitting the mountain in two." Then I watched as the mountain literally cracked right down the center and split apart into two sections, creating a path directly through the middle of it. The mountain that seemed almost impossible to go over or around prepared a path, enabling us to walk right through the middle of it, on the very ground we already stood on. We did not need to take extreme measures to get to the other side, rather, right in the place we were standing at, God cleared the way for us. So now, let me jump back into today. When the Lord originally spoke the word to me in which He was asking me to now find once again, I received it at the latter end of 2007. I naturally assumed it was for that time, considering a portion of this word has to do with a presidential election and that's what much of the talk was in regards to at that time. Over these past several years, I have been learning never to assume a prophetic word is necessarily for the specific time-frame (only) during which it was spoken in. I am seeing many words which were spoken in 2007 and 2008 for the corporate Body, as well as personal words, that are now coming into fruition. As the Lord was prompting me to search for this particular word, He also gave me the strong unction that it's a 'now' word. Upon finding and reading it after so many years (as I had not remembered much of anything from it), I am humbly delighted, and once again in awe of His timing as to how He directed me to re-read and re-release it again, in consideration of it's content in regards to what He had just shown me the night before, as well as with what is taking place in our nation at this time. He's amazing! (originally given in November 2007); The Lord says, "There is a judgment coming. The judgment that comes is to the mountain that stands before you, the mountain that has stood in the way of you going forth in My plans and My purposes." I see this great and mighty mountain and from the very center of the mountain is an explosion. An explosion that causes the mountain to go down to nothing. I see what once was this huge mountain and as it is destroyed from the very center it is blown into millions of pieces that are just these small, little pebbles that shoot forth out of the explosion. "The soothsayers predict impending doom but My Spirit brings life and I say to you that the doom comes only to that which has opposed My Word. Speak to the mountains that are before you. Speak to the many mountains that have stood before you, for there is a great toppling down coming. The mountains that have stood before you and the adversities that have been strewn out before you are coming down as you speak My word. This is the entrance of this generation. It is this generation that shall speak forth the power of My word and shall see the many mountains topple. This will not take a great length of time. Immediately, Immediately, Immediately. I have given you power within My word and I do not turn it back. What is this that you ponder in your heart, saying 'How can it be immediately'? Do not doubt because immediately the power in My word goes forth. You may not immediately see with the natural eye what has taken place in the unseen place. I speak to your heart and tell you do not doubt. My words are credible and I have spoken the word 'immediately'. Did I not say that the plowman will overtake the reaper? Immediately! Now there has been a generation that has sought out the goods of the earth and the world's system and so they will be until the end, but no longer will that generation be what is at the forefront, for I an raising up a generation of those who believe. A generation of those who take Me at My word and believe. In those, My word will be written upon their hearts and my word will flow out of their mouths and into the atmosphere. You will see many signs, wonders and miraculous happenings come forth. There is a generation that I am raising up. The pure of heart are stepping forward. There is a time and there is a season in which My purposes come forth and there is nothing that will take place out of the timing I have allowed, and the season that I have given. Do not be disheartened. Do not be fearful of the reports you hear of impending destruction upon this earth. Nothing will come forth before the time that I have given it to. I speak to you of the government in this land. All eyes are upon a process. All eyes are upon a tally sheet, but I am asking you to take your eyes off of what you looked at before. Take your eyes off of the natural reasoning. What I give to you cannot be discerned by the natural reasoning. Lean into Me that you may hear the whispers of My guidance. Lean into Me that you may hear what is on My heart. It's in the place of your natural reasoning being removed, it's in the place of hearing My heart, of discerning My voice that you will be led in the direction I am opening up to this land. Set aside the list and hear by My Spirit, for it will come in a most unusual way. Did I not tell you that your blessings, your prosperity and your breakthroughs would come in a way that would seem odd, that would seem peculiar? They may not be coming to you in the ways that seem reasonable. For I am God and it is I that brings forth water from a rock and so I will bring forth that which refreshes you from the very place that you least expect it. " The Lord gave me this insight: Even those who have not believed, will be voting in the appointed man. They will not even realize they have stepped into the will of God and are voting in the very man that God has appointed to be President of the United States. I heard this spoken into my spirit; "Because the water isn't going to flow until after it's all said and done." The package may not look like what our natural reasoning says that God would place into that position of leadership. The package is going to look much differently afterwards, and they that did not believe are going to find out the package is not what they expected it to be. The outside cover can have the appearance of whatever we choose it to have, regardless of what's on the inside. When the cover is removed, what is contained on the inside can very well be something completely different than what we had guessed it to be. If we merely judge the book by it's cover, so to speak, we may very well be in for quite a surprise. I heard the Lord speak to me; "Have you heard the good news? God is in the transformation business"!! Throughout the Word there are so many accounts of God amazingly transforming people into great leaders who surprised everyone by being a key person in God's plans being accomplished. (For example; Cyrus. Read Isaiah 45) Before Paul's divine encounter on the road to Damascus, the church would have never considered that Saul would be an apostle of Jesus Christ, who would later as Paul, give his own life for the sake of the gospel of Christ - as opposed to his former position which was totally the opposite and instead, persecuting the Body of Christ. (Read Acts 9) Sometimes God's plan does not come packaged as what we might expect, or even as what we might want. But nevertheless, God always has a plan in everything. He always has a plan of good, for those who love Him. Even in the worst of circumstances, He has a perfect plan. The problem is that sometimes within those circumstances, we tend to affix our gaze so much on the problems that we forget to see God's promises are still alive and waiting to be called forth in faith. No matter who the next president is, he is only a man, and as with each one of us, he too has a limited understanding. To be a great leader with the utmost wisdom for this nation, he must be able and willing to follow the instruction of the Holy Spirit, whether it be knowingly or unknowingly. As the Body of Christ, it is dire that we put aside our own political agendas and unite as one body in agreement for God's will to be done in every ruling & every decision. We have been given the mandate and the power(authority) to speak forth the word of God, that will establish the order of righteousness into our nation.Now is the time to begin to pray for our new president. We have been given a mandate from the Lord to pray for our leaders, it's up to each one of us to be faithful in doing so. "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions,and giving of thanks by made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4 I am personally praying that our new president will have such a personal encounter with Jesus Christ that he will be forever transformed, just as Saul was transformed into Paul on the road to Damascus. Saul left on that journey with the intent to persecute the Church, but arrived as a transformed 'Paul' who blessed the Church instead. There seems to be a common struggle going on in the lives of many in the Body of Christ,especially during this past year. It seems as if we've been contending for breakthrough to no avail in various areas without witnessing it manifest all too quickly. Although this contending can sometimes become frustrating, it's important to keep in mind the analogy of the chipping away of a very large and dense slab of concrete/rock. With each striking of the rock, although you may not see a tremendous amount of breakthrough, little by little, blow by blow, it becomes more weakened and eventually with persistence, it will give way and break into. The thicker the substance and the more solid it is, will obviously require a greater amount of strength and effort to break it apart.
As I was praying last night for breakthrough and provision, the Lord showed me a vision of a mountain standing before me. As I looked at the mountain, I heard the Lord say, "I'm splitting the mountain in two." Then I watched as the mountain literally cracked right down the center and split apart into two sections, creating a path directly through the middle of it. The mountain that seemed almost impossible to go over or around prepared a path, enabling us to walk right through the middle of it, on the very ground we already stood on. We did not need to take extreme measures to get to the other side, rather, right in the place we were standing at, God made a way for us. And so it will be. Keep on keeping on, and right in the place you are at, God will create the way of breakthrough. "Is not My word like fire? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of the most stubborn resistance]? Jeremiah 23:29 We may have been waiting a long time for this breakthrough to come, but as I stated earlier, the bigger the rock, the greater the breakthrough it is! We can indeed expect a mighty breakthrough in the days, weeks and months ahead. How do we contend rightly for our breakthrough? Pray, believe, speak His word into our circumstances and rejoice for the upcoming breakthrough. "Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that it is granted to you, and you will get it." Mark 11:23-24 The mountain we've been looking at standing before us may be big, but God's word is the mighty hammer that will split it apart on our behalf. Begin to prophesy the splitting apart of the mountain that's been standing in your way! |
