Three Types of Prophets Coming to the Frontline in this Hour! by Ryan LeStrange

In an early morning encounter, the Lord highlighted three types of prophets that I believe are being prepared in this hour. Although no two prophets are alike, there are similarities but diversity in flow, function and personality.

I saw the Samuel Prophets who carry a building anointing and a hybrid gift mix of apostolic and prophetic function. They serve the body by teaching, training and grooming the next generation of prophets. I also saw the launching forth of the Power Prophets, flowing in uncommon levels of demonstration and power in the areas of signs, wonders and miracles. These daring prophets will be on the front lines of the next great move of God. They are instruments of revival and catalysts of change in the earth carrying a heavenly authority.

Then the Lord unfolded the Seers to me, the detailed Revealers. This breed of prophets possesses insight that unfolds through the word of knowledge, word of wisdom and discerning of spirits in a breathtaking way. Calling out names, phone numbers and other personal facts, along with God’s heart, plans and purposes for individual people and groups, is the calling card of these prophets. They are entrusted with mysteries and secrets.

SAMUEL PROPHETS 

The Samuel Prophets occupy a high ranking prophetic office, operating in a strong level of wisdom and discernment. This mantle is a result of years of experiential lessons in prophetic ministries. The Samuel Prophets are apostolic builders by nature. They pour into people their skills, styles, values, strategies and experiences; establishing prophetic academies where their testimonials become life lessons. Samuel Prophets have many students to their credits because of their wealth of revelatory grace to unveil mysteries; they replicate themselves. These prophets carry a hybrid, prophetic, apostolic anointing. They often start quite early in church, as we see Samuel with Eli in the temple. They learn skills in church; they learn the voice of God in church. Samuel heard his voice three times to confirm. These prophets are nurtured by senior apostolic leaders, training and equipping them. Just as Samuel was a civil leader, these prophets have concerns for the welfare of the people in all ramifications: health, wealth, marriage, family.

Examing the life of Samuel, as a child he was given to the Lord’s work, carried in the womb of travail. He was the last and greatest of the judges to rule Israel. He served the priest Eli and through him God brought judgement upon Israel. Samuel Prophets carry the emotion of the Father and the heart of God.

When Eli’s Sons were desecrating the temple, no one in the nation brought them to order. Samuel’s rise and installation of his office brought judgement on the people. Samuel was both a prophet, priest, Nazarite and a civil leader. The prophetic mantle was to mediate for the people, the civil leadership mantle was to meet the welfare of the people and the Nazarite mantle was to be separated unto God. As a priest, he atoned for the people. Eli began to lose his vision, but in the secret place God was raising a young man with a vision. Samuel Prophets will rise when an older generation is losing their vision. Samuel Prophets are born to ignite a fire, to kindle a weakened generation and to bring back lost glory. They bring the Shekinah where they meet an Ichabod. While Hophni and Phinehas deposed the things of God, God was raising a young boy to grow in favor and wisdom. When there’s rebellion in any generation, God will raise up reformers to birth revival. Samuel was called to set up the fire. The word of the Lord was rare in those days, Samuel was the conduit through which God spoke to the nation of Israel. He was set apart as a Nazarite; Samuel Prophets are set apart from the world.

In the time of Eli, the Israelites made false gods. They were oppressed by the Philistines but when Samuel came into leadership, he commanded that all false gods be burned down. Samuel Prophets pull down altars, strong holds, religion and powers. They rescue people under demonic attack. They set captives free, they preach the liberty of men in Christ. Samuel Prophets are not scared to pull down, root out, throw down and destroy.

Samuel Prophets must willingly impose the same discipline on their children (biological and spiritual). Joel and Abijah, the sons of Samuel, did not follow the footsteps of their father. As a result, the leadership did not fall on them. The Samuel mantle is not hereditary, it falls on an obedient generation. Samuel Prophets are very patient prophets, even though they have a strong personality. Samuel warned Saul over and over again about his leadership model but Saul rebelled. The Lord instructed Samuel to ordain a younger prophet, David. They are generals in the spirit, who can affirm or demote an authority that has lost place in their call. These servants are not intimidated by fat offerings and honorariums, they will not compromise truth for fat seeds and pledges. They value obedience over everything. Obedience is the key to Samuel’s ministry.

            Samuel said, "Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. 1 Sam 15:22

Samuel Prophets are also intercessors, watchmen who lift up the people’s queries before the Lord. They love order in the House and are not afraid to confront. Even though Samuel saw Saul’s weaknesses, he kept interceding for him, he kept on praying for Saul as much as he could. Samuel Prophets carry the heart of the people and also the heart of God. 

POWER PROPHETS 

As the name implies, the Power Prophets have an unusual anointing to make things happen. They have such an authority to shut the heavens, make the sun stand still, cause drought, send fire from heaven, send dew and more. They are known for these things because of their high standard of intimacy with the Lord. These are prophets of prayer, intercessors, who terrorize hell. Power Prophets have a declaring mantle on their lives; they operate strong in the gift of faith and working of miracles. We saw Elijah personally shut heaven (1 Kings 17:1); we saw Joshua make the sun stand still (Joshua 10:12-13).

Power Prophets are known to always decree and declare. Their words are a gift to the Church. Often times, God would say to prophet Ezekiel, “Son of man, decree.”  Power Prophets are action prophets, their ministries are confrontational. They confront structures, systems and strategies which try to thwart the plans of God. Power Prophets are not about articulation or demonstration of words, as Paul rightly put it, but of power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 2:4).

Moses was a man who was called forth to bring redemption to the Israelites. While Samuel grew up in the house of the Lord; Moses grew up in the house of a King. Power Prophets carry a heavy mantle on setting captives free. They understand the Egyptian stronghold either because they were in the system or because they are given divine revelation about the captivity of people. Power Prophets deal with the people; they are about the liberty of people. Power Prophets understand power! They use their experience of earthly power to decree.

Power Prophets have a unique working of miracles mantle. They spend time with the Lord and carry such a glory. When the Lord wanted to reach out to the people, He invited Moses to the mountain. Moses went up into the mountain and was covered by the cloud. The mountain is a supernatural dimension where the glory dwelled. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone because he had been in God’s glory. When Jesus appeared on the mount of transfiguration, we saw Moses and Elijah (Power Prophets) come down in that shining glory. These prophets are light bearers. Power Prophets speak light in the dark places because light sets free. These are freedom prophets; they care about setting people free.

Power Prophets decree and declare. Most of the Power Prophets did not have anything special about their personality, but were only vessels the Lord chose to do His will (James 5:17). Moses came to the burning bush with his insignificance, but the Lord began to pour encouragement into him. Prophets need these encouraging words from God. Power Prophets have such a unique gift of faith. It’s interesting how the Lord says Moses was the meekest man on the earth, yet he carried such a tough personality. This is because of his heart for the people. Power Prophets build the people while they look at the promise. They demonstrate Power.

 REVEALING PROPHETS 

The Revealing Prophets, the Seers, have the ability to see into dimensions. These prophetic graces operate outside of the dimension of time. They see into events with precision and accuracy. Revealing Prophets see, hear and witness heavenly activities, engage angelic beings and operate in a high level of the word of knowledge. Every now and again, the Lord will trans relocate these prophets into supernatural realms to see what He has for His people. When the Lord allows this, they see what has never been revealed because these prophets flow outside our time constraint. Revealing Prophets can flow between dimensions. They have a precise predictive gift because they have seen it unfold in the supernatural realm. The Revealing Prophet only sees, hears and feels when the Lord gives him/her access. When the Lord does, it’s precise.

There are a few people in the Bible with an ability to see into dimensions. These prophets have access into portals. Revealing Prophets are those prophets who reveal things that are past, things in time and things to come. They see deep into dimensions and can predict when the Lord shows them His plan for what is to come. The Revealing Prophets have a mantle for sight. They see in visions, dreams, trances and possess other abilities to see. 

The story of Elisha and Ghazi comes to mind. 

            And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 16:17

Elisha sees into deep realms that cannot be seen with the physical eyes. Revealing Prophets have the gift of sight. God uses the Revealing Prophets to reveal the things He has lined up for His people. 

Revealing Prophets are wired to see. Their eyes are their gifting to the body of Christ. Prophets like Daniel, Joshua and Jeremiah possesed revelatory mandates to see. Both Daniel and Joseph were summoned before kings; they used their revelatory abilities to reveal what was to come. The revealing gifts function as the word of knowledge in today’s Church age, through which God speaks His desires and intentions on the earth. Revealing Prophets work with the Samuel and Moses prophets to unfold what the Lord is birthing on the face of the earth.

As a phenomenal new wave of the apostolic and prophetic movement arises, there is an emergence of powerful prophetic voices. As with David, many have been tucked away in a wilderness place spending valuable time becoming intimate lovers of Jesus. They have faced rejection, criticism, frustration and other battles, but they have been forged in the fire and have a critical role in this emerging move. Jesus wants to use the prophetic voice and office to bring forth His testimony in profound ways in the earth (Rev. 19:10). There are three types of prophets that we believe are coming to the forefront in this hour! There are so many different types of prophets, prophetic ministries and flows but there is something happening now, in this moment with these three expressions!

Alignment is Key! Plus 8 Prophetic Directives by Ryan LeStrange & Jason Armstrong

Abingdon, VA and 

Cleveland, TN

Just as last year we saw the wind come and separate, we believe this year will be a year for things to be connected and made secure.

The year 2016 is the Hebrew year of 5776. The two Hebrew letters associated with this number (76) are ayin and vav. The letter ayin gives us a picture of an eye, and vav gives us a picture of a peg, nail, or hook. The year 2015 was a year of the whirlwind; things were turned upside down, shaken, moved, and shifted! Many things were exposed and sifted. There was a lot of divine sifting before the shifting! However, this is a year to secure some things, nail some things down. It is a time for the hook to connect things. There is an unfolding of Kingdom partnerships for Kingdom purposes.

This is a Time for Alignment, Expansion, and a Year to Secure and Tie Things Down

Alignment is a key word this year!Alignment with others for Kingdom exploits is critical. The who is every bit as important as the where and when. (Photo via Pixabay)

It is also a time of expansion. As we think about the peg, we think about the tent; expand the peg and expand the tent. The Father is challenging us to dream radical, God-sized dreams and to pray bold prayers! There is a fresh wind blowing upon the revelation of faith. Faith sees and seizes. It is time to pray "Jabez" prayers again and to ask God to enlarge our territory. This is a time for the children of God to be brave. There will be personal stretching, expansion, and promotion along with corporate stretching, moving into new territories, and advancing.

It is a year to secure and tie things down. We see all of this mirrored in the natural in the U.S. political system as border security has become a huge debate. We are being urged to secure our borders, to create a physical barrier. This is a true, prophetic picture. It is time to secure the borders of our ministries, families, and personal lives. What does that mean? And how do we secure our borders? We put Jesus front and center. We seek to honor and please Him above all else. We also kick the enemy out and use the Blood of Jesus as an aggressive weapon.

We need strong prophetic preaching and teaching in this hour to expose the works of Hell and to call the people of God back to their first love! I am reminded of the vision that Oral Roberts had of shaking in the last days. He said that the Lord told him there was a need for preachers with fire in their bellies! I say, raise up the Fire Carriers, Lord!

The Lord Must Build the House

We need to make our calling and elections sure (see 2 Peter 1:10). This is a time to secure the foundation that our lives and ministries are built upon. All things that are not built upon the sure foundation of Jesus will ultimately fail. We must be sure that our identity is found in HIM and not in our giftings, talents, or anointing. His house is built on the apostolic and prophetic foundation with Jesus Himself being the chief cornerstone (see Ephesians 2:20). The Psalms tell us that unless the Lord builds the house, those that labor are laboring in vain (see Psalm 127:1). Our labor must be about HIS house and for HIS Kingdom. There is no room for self-promotion or self-exaltation. (Photo via Pixabay)

From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler. Together they will be like warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame. Zechariah 10:4-5

For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, "The Lord knoweth them that are His." And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2:19

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, "Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste." Isaiah 28:16

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22 (Photo via Pixabay)

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it... Psalm 127:1

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in My ways, and do that is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee. 1 Kings 11:38

Watch for those that have been secure only in themselves and sure of themselves. The people and ministries that are about self-promotion will be removed while others are set in their place.

Shebna was a servant who was trying to promote himself in the Kingdom. He did this by building a tomb for himself like those of the kings in his day. When one tries to promote themselves, it becomes dead works, and the only thing they are actually building is a tomb. Due to his self-promotion, Shebna "the peg that was fastened in a secure place" was removed from his position and another "peg" (Eliakim) was set in. (Photo via Pixabay)

"In that day," says the Lord of hosts, "the peg that is fastened in the secure place will be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off; for the Lord has spoken." Isaiah 22:25

Thus says the Lord God of hosts, "Go, proceed to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the house, and say: 'What have you here, and whom have you here, that you have hewn a sepulcher here, as he who hews himself a sepulcher on high, who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?'" Isaiah 22:15-16

I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, and he will become a glorious throne to his father's house. Isaiah 22:23

Watch for true prophetic voices to become even more secure of their position in Christ, causing a greater boldness to minister a more sure word of prophecy. They must remain in holiness and continue to be moved by the Holy Ghost, and not of themselves. They will carry a sure testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy. (Photo via Pixabay)

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts... 2 Peter 1:19

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Psalm 19:7

And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, "See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10

8 Prophetic Mandates for 2016: Areas of Ministry to Be Secured

This is not a complete picture but some of the highlights:

• Expressions of the Kingdom that look different.
Those with a pioneering spirit will use every means possible to expand the reach of the Gospel through media, technology, and an evolving wineskin. (Photo via Pixabay)

• HUBS that take on an ekklesia approach above just a typical local church approach.
The Lord is raising up a variety of HUBS to serve as the center for His plans, revival outpouring, training, and equipping in regions. More and more ministries will cross over into a HUB mentality and many new HUBS will be planted.

• Spiritual Families-Apostolic Companies.
People who are serious about the Kingdom will recognize the vital need for proper relationships. They will relocate, travel, and invest in order to walk out the plan with the right people. The next generation of apostolic leaders will place a high value on family, companies, and relationships. The previous generation of apostolic leaders valued exploits, revelation, and accomplishment. The emerging generation of apostolic pioneers maximizes the power of relational ministry to accomplish the exploits. There is a generation that is in between the two that has elements of both.

• The quest for truth.
This generation of young people is on a quest to know and understand. They have been raised in the information age and they deeply desire to comprehend the "whys." Teaching will be a well-regarded gift in this generation. Ministries that offer explanation and insight will expand and enlarge.

• Apostolic and Prophetic foundations.
A large part of the Body of Christ is opening up to the reality of these two foundational gifts and ministries. There will be tremendous apostolic and prophetic synergy to uncover the plans of the Father for His people along with divine strategy. These two gifts will lock arms in an unprecedented way in order to pioneer dynamic Kingdom expression.

• Power Ministry.
There is a strong prophetic word of the Lord about the rising tide of healing ministry and supernatural demonstration. Apostles of power will rise and lead a charge back to the supernatural. Start believing for Acts 19:11 special miracles! The Lord is ready to turn up the heat of healing power. He is simply looking for a people that will press and believe.

As I was preaching recently, the Lord brought the blue flame before me. He showed me a blue-flame level of revival coming forth. This has many implications, but one of the most simple is a higher temperature of burning and a more pure flame. I began to see in my spirit creative miracles and power gifts coming forth on a level that I have personally never witnessed. I sense the Father urging a generation to contend for higher levels of miracles and to carry greater mantles. (Photo via Pixabay)

The wells of healing and power will be dug once again. There is something unusual and marked by God in the spring of this year as the nation descends on California for Lou Engle's The Call Azusa Street. There is the re-digging of a massive well of revival and miracles that will be marked by that event. There is potential for the Body of Christ to ride the wave that will be generated from the shockwaves of those prayers, to see a rising tide of miracle ministry and a new era of healing power like we have not seen in our generation. Even now many are being prepared to carry the healing mantle of the Lord in a profound way.

• A divine marriage between prayer rooms, healing rooms, and HUBS.
There is a link between these three ministries. The Lord showed me that Revival HUBS are to be the prophetic nerve center of territories. I was preaching at a HUB that was on the Main Street of a city right in the heart of the downtown, and the Lord told me that this is a natural picture of a prophetic reality. He is raising up prophetic-apostolic ministries to speak into the heart of cities and regions. They must partner with the laid-down lovers who will bathe the word and the plans in prayer. Prayer rooms are places of intercession and longing. The healing rooms are gateways to the healing power of God that is to be displayed in this hour. These three ministries working together have potential for explosive results in the Spirit.

• Renegade prophetic voices will receive apostolic rebuke.
Those that shun the correction will drift further away from the heart of God and into their own religious delusion. Those who receive correction will be sharpened and both their gift and character will rise much higher.

Both cleaning and clarity are coming to the prophetic ministry. There is an urgent need for CLEAR prophetic voices that shun nonsense and give out the unfiltered word of the Lord. It is time for an Issachar anointing to be released upon the prophets in this hour to rightly know, discern, and declare the times. (Photo via Pixabay)

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 1 Chronicles 12:32

The Lord told me that this is a season for His people to contend for clarity! The more clear the word is, the more precise the leading. We do not have time for unnecessary rabbit trails.

A Jubilee Year: A Time of Divine Release From Unfruitful Relationships, Offense, and Bondages

This year is also a Jubilee year! There is tremendous opportunity to grab the promise of Jubilee and receive breakthrough. It will come to those who discern the Kairos and move in it. Jubilee is a time of divine release! This is a significant Kairos for us. It is time to be released from wrong people andunfruitful relationships. It is time to release our own hearts from offense and walk in love and forgiveness. There is absolutely no time to waste on bitterness.

It is a Genesis 13 moment! Lot and Abraham were beginning to experience strife because the land could not provide for them both. Abraham chose the low road and released himself from strife by giving Lot first choice of the land. The blessing of God came mightily upon Abraham. When we release people from offense and let go of strife in our heart, we align with a commanded blessing! Forgiving means "letting it go." It does not mean that we keep aligning or walking where we do not agree. Our alignments are critical. There is no time to waste on wrong alignments. (Photo via Pixabay)

Jubilee is a time of release from bondages! It is time to enjoy the freedom that Jesus paid for at Calvary. There is an invitation to take off the shackles and live in the freedom of the Lord! It is also a season of supernatural favor (see Psalm 5:12) and debt cancellation. I know that this is controversial to many, but the fact is that part of Jubilee is the removal of debt. We need to seize the moment and put our faith to work in that area so that we can be free to obey God without the weight of financial bondages.

I Am Raising Up the Unlockers! by Ryan LeStrange

Abingdon, VA

Prophetic Keys and Timing

I hear the Father saying that He is raising up the "unlockers!" Those that have been given keys of: authority, revelation and assignment. They are being released to unlock plans and purposes in regions – territories. They have been commissioned by the Spirit of the Lord.

As they move into their assigned places, there is divine ability in them to bring release of things in the spirit that have seemingly been locked. These things have not been locked away from the children of God but reserved for the children of God.

Isaiah 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

There has been a "timing element" upon some of these plans. Those that have been mantled with the assignment to unlock will step into a divine timing and alignment moment. They are being released in the timing of the Father. They go with His keys in their hands!

I see prophetic keys being given to the servants of the Lord in this hour. I see key revelations being provided that access realms of deliverance and breakthrough for the people of God.

Embrace His Mighty Exploits!

He is writing great exploits upon the hearts of His people. He is releasing dreams and pictures of destiny to fuel faith and unlock potential. Open the eyes of your inner man and begin to see what He is declaring over you.

Some are not able to embrace the exploits because they are trapped in the stinging memories of past disappointments.

I hear The Father saying, "My healing balm is available for those. They have not understood why it did not work, they have not been able to escape the pain and the bitter waters, but I have fresh waters of redemption to release over them. I am calling My Bride forth to 'dream with Me' – to move up higher and allow Me to write My exploits upon their hearts. I have great adventures of faith and powerful glory to reveal."

Some have been unable to embrace the exploits because they are looking through the lens of limitation. They are seeing what they can or cannot do but there is immeasurable power available in the inner man! There is power for exploits, breakthrough and wonder. Begin to live, move and advance from the spirit realm. "I have provided FULL ACCESS – nothing lacking."

Be Free of the Enemies Lies!

"Some are operating under the weight of condemnation and lying accusation. Have I not said that your righteousness is of Me?"

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

"I have desired to paint visions of powerful exploits upon your heart, but you were unable to see them because of lying accusations. The enemy has been hurling his lies at your mind speaking of past failures and present struggles.

"You must boldly stand upon My promises of freedom and appropriate the wonder-working power of My Blood! Your righteousness is of Me and is appropriated by faith. His accusations must be met with My redemption so that your heart can go free!

A free heart is: free to love, free to dream, free to soar! Free hearts take My hand and run forward with Me. Free hearts are blank canvases for My dreams of exploits."

It is time to navigate the exploits of God and unlock His plans for us. It is time to let go of the past hurts, wounds and pain in order to embrace His powerful plans for the hour.

The unlocking mandate is upon us! The keys have been given. Now it is time to run forward with Abba.

The Holy Spirit Wants the Platform Back! by Ryan LeStrange

Abingdon, VA

A Prophetic Encounter and Word to Pastors

I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep, as I knew that I had to travel on a ministry assignment the next day. All of a sudden I felt a major prompting to get my phone and begin to record what the Lord was speaking to me. It was almost midnight as I began to write. The Lord said to me that this is an urgent message to relay to His people in this hour. His words shot off like blasts of fire in my spirit:

"I want you to give those pastors who have been called to a power ministry permission to launch forth! I have placed divine gifts of faith, healing and miracles in their bellies. Give birth to it – step out – conduct miracle services – launch forth – embrace the mandate. Many have been pressured by the people they are leading to conduct themselves in a certain way and it is stifling the rich flow of the Spirit that I have for them." (Photo Wikipedia)

The Father showed me that there are many pastors and church leaders who are being called to the supernatural. As He said, "Give them permission" it made no sense to me. Then He nudged my heart that they need a confirming word to say: Go for it! Launch forth. Press for miracle ministry. This is the hour; this is the time. He continued to speak to me:

"I desire to demonstrate My wonders! I desire to move in power and rock communities with My glory. I am searching for a people that will allow Me to do what I want; a people that will cast their plans to the side and obey Me. Many have shut down the moving of My spirit for fear of man and pleasing man – this grieves My heart! I want to do the impossible and show forth My love in this hour."

"I am visiting pastors and church leaders to move deeper. I am visiting gatherings with My presence. I am visiting worship leaders with My songs and sounds. I'm searching for a people who will allow Me to move freely without restriction! Tell My people: Open up the doors! I know how to heal your wounds and bind up your brokenness. Quit boxing Me in! Quit quenching My Spirit and placing restriction on Me, start taking the boundaries off.

"Tell My people to call for miracle services and pray, believe and dream big! Let My hand move! Sing of My wonders, declare My majesty and then get out of the way and let Me have the platform. Those who will obey Me in this hour will tap into it – they will tap that which they need – provision, promotion and My presence. My presence will rise like a swelling sea in the places that are hungry and it will be void in the places that restrict Me."

Open Up the Doors and Let Holy Spirit Have His Way!

As the Lord encountered me with this word, I felt such strength and authority. Our hearts need to be grieved about our confidence in our own ability and our lack of dependence on Him. We have built the Church in many ways in this generation on our wisdom, programs and plans. We have boxed Holy Spirit in and reaped the consequences.

Yet there is a call in this hour. It is an urgent call to open the doors and invite Holy Spirit to have His way. He said to create the atmosphere for His presence and then give Him the platform. There must be a reform, a change in operation, in order to receive all that we are asking of Him. He knows how to heal the sick, raise the dead and deliver the oppressed! We must just allow Him to have His way.

I was reminded of when Oral Roberts had the prophetic dreams about shaking in America some years before his death. He said that the Lord showed him that America needed preachers with fire in their bellies. I see the Lord stirring a miracle and power based ministry in the hearts of many in this hour! He is releasing a fresh fire in our bellies. We must be willing to take the plunge and go for it. (Photo Wikipedia)

There is urgency upon this word. There are regions, states and nations that are being prepared for outpouring and great harvest but it is going to take some people who are brave in the Lord, some who have been touched by His fiery coals and willing to move at the sounding of His voice. Do not be sidelined by humanistic thinking, or the pressures of people. Leap forward and obey Him! Move with Him! It is a time of Holy Spirit power and miracles.
