Begin Preparing Now by Glynda Linkous

Begin preparing now to enter in to your destinies in Me, My children. You know what I have spoken to you – where I wish to take you. I desire your every word, every deed, every appearance, would be as if you walk in it today, for I shall shortly bring it to pass.

Time is moving much more quickly now, for I have accelerated it. I am hastening My Word to perform it. Now you must do your part if you are to walk in what I have called you to do.

Release all sin. Act the part – be Christ-like in all you do. Look the part.

Get Ready.

Habakkuk 2:3  For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Jeremiah 1:12  Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

Ephesians 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

1 John 2:6  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Colossians 3:1-6

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Dear beloved:  Above is a picture from the Kesha in Nairobi in 2013, attended by students from several universities in the area.  The Lord had us positioned as watchmen on the wall to cry out for the country, for protection and for blessings from the Lord.  Of course, we were in shock the next day as the Westgate Mall attack began, but I believe the prayers helped to mitigate the disaster.  Then on Sunday of that weekend we came back together for an all day church service, where our tears covered the floor of the building at the time the attack was still ongoing.  Many of the students had personal connections to people in the mall who were killed or injured.

Ezekiel 3:17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me."   And in Ezekiel 33:6 " If the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand."  v9 "Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul."

Beloved, I ask for your prayers with us on Friday night as we again cry out to the Lord for Kenya.  The people here are very precious in the sight of the Lord.  Many are orphans, many without much in the way of material wealth, but they love the Lord.  Join me in tearing down strongholds of the enemy and raising up the name of the Lord Jesus, that the mountain of the Lord would be the highest mountain in Kenya. I will also be wrapping up the preaching at Shiloh Wonders Temple in Nairobi on Sunday.

I ask for your support, I am still short of funding for the Kesha and provision for the trip home on Tuesday. I have a plane ticket but not much extra. Pray about your part in helping me to finish strong, if you can help with any amount it will be appreciated.  Thank you and God bless you as you stand with me in prayer.

God bless you, in Christ, Jim    Gather the Outcasts, Box 92, Norton, Ks. 67654   501(c)3   Paypal at www.gathertheoutcasts.com   www.jimrowh.blogspot.com     If you receive this letter from a forward link and wish to be on the mailing list, email me at pureprairie@hotmail.com

A PROPHETIC WORD FROM JERUSALEM by Maurice Sklar

Dear Friends,
We have been here in Israel for over a week now and we have been having an amazing time with the Lord here.   Here is the most recent Word I have received while here. 

A Prophetic Word:
The LORD says, "War is coming against Israel! Just as I have clearly spoken in My Word, and just as I have confirmed through my holy servants the true Prophets, I will hold it back no longer.  You say to Me, "What do all of these signs converging together this month mean?  Many of My church are in fear, thinking only of doomsday and despair.  Some leaders are trying to tell fortunes and predict days and times, thinking that I must do what they say when they predict it.  Some are making millions of dollars by merchandising and sensationalizing these events to the point it is idolatry and distraction instead of sound prophetic ministry.  I (the LORD) am far greater than your false prognosticators and charlatans.  Do not follow after those deceivers - you must judge them and their ministries by their fruits and take everything you hear and judge it according to My Word."
To My beloved Bride:  Look and see the signs in the heavens and upon the earth.  Notice them, but don't focus on them!  Keep your eyes on Me!  I am the LORD, not the sun, moon, or stars. I am greater than any event that has or will come to shake the heavens and the earth.  Many of My people are crying out to Me in prayer for clarity and guidance right now.  So, I will answer you... I will explain to you a little bit of what is shortly to come to pass....So your heart will not be troubled...  
 I am announcing to the world through these four red moons these things:

1.  The Times of the Gentiles are coming to an end.  The end of Adam's dominion time-lease upon earth is nearly over.  The time of Jacobs' Trouble: the Tribulation period is about to begin.  BUT HE (JACOB) SHALL BE SAVED OUT OF IT.  It is in this time that I will sovereignly cause all the Jews to return to their home, Eretz Israel.  I will shake them out like a tablecloth that a lady would take outdoors and shake all the crumbs out of it by flapping it into the wind.  But not one crumb will perish.  All shall be returned.  Many of my people are hidden in the nations that have descended from the 10 lost tribes.  They are not "lost" to Me.  I KNOW THEM ALL. They shall return, along with all the descendants of Judah and Levi.  No man knows who or where they are, but I DO.  The time has come when the rest of the family will come home to the land I promised them.
2. Satan knows that his time is short.  War is coming to the Middle East.  It will bring every nation into it before it is all over.  Israel is my mousetrap, and Jerusalem is the cheese.  Israel is also my anvil on which I will judge the nations.  Prepare your hearts, for peace will be taken from the earth.  For 70 years I gave the Western nations peace and prosperity after World War 2.  That was because of what the United States did along with the Allied forces by defeating Nazi Germany and rescuing My people Israel from extermination, and then paving the way for Israel to be reborn as a nation in 1948.  
3. Yesterday's moon signals the beginning of the final restoration of Israel.  No matter how hard the enemy attacks, he will be destroyed before Me.  For I am standing UP now as the LORD of Hosts to fight for her.  And when this is over, all her enemies will be dust under her feet.  It will be bloody.  It will be painful.  It will be with great losses both to Israel and her enemies.  But, for each Israeli Jewish person, their enemies will pay with 1,000 of their souls when they try to attack her.  Beware!  You CANNOT and WILL not succeed as Israel's enemy.  
4.  The outcome in the coming battles and wars against Israel, I will restore more and more of the land to her that I promised to Abraham.  Until finally, all that I promised will be theirs forever when I return to establish My Kingdom and rule from the throne of David in Jerusalem forever.
5.  I am coming for My Bride, My faithful children who are waiting for Me in this Midnight Hour.  But you say, "I have heard that for so long.  And, oh, another prophet coming with the Rapture message. I am tired of hearing it.  After all, I have heard it my whole life.  So, is this yet another "boy crying wolf" prophecy?!  I have been disappointed too many times."  But, Beloved, if I stretch out time to allow more souls to come to Me, and so I can bring more Bridal lamps to their full oil and light, does this offend you?!  If it does, you are only thinking of yourself and not others that I have long patience for until all have come in.  Then, the Shofar will sound!  Do not lose your Blessed Hope for I am at the doors RIGHT NOW!  Watch and Pray!  Do not let disappointment and bitterness quench out your Hope.  Remember, I CANNOT LIE!  I AM COMING FOR YOU, MY DEARLY BELOVED BRIDE!  
6.  Do not get caught up in conspiracies and Internet social media nonsense.  Think to yourself, 'is this filling me with hope or fear?'  If your response to it is fear, then it is not what I am saying to you.  The world will indeed experience the worst seven years of judgments and My Wrath.  But, I have not appointed you to that, but to obtain eternal joy in My heavenly Kingdom, as it is written:
Luke 21:36
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
And...
Revelation 22:20-21
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
God bless you from Jerusalem, Dear Ones!

The Rock and the Cleft of the Rock by Maryam Ziadat

 


The Craziest Encounter Ever ... YES! Exactly what you read and exactly what it sounded like. 

The Lord said " Those who have been waiting for me in the cleft of the rock will have the most CRAZIEST ENCOUNTER ever". 

Those were exactly HIS words. YEP! 

You, who have been waiting for him patiently, consecrated and devoted, in the cleft of the Rock, HE is going to meet you soon with the craziest encounter ever. Don't try to limit the Lord, be open in your expectation. He is LORD and He can have with you the encounter he desires. Press deep in worshiping him covering by his Grace, Mercy and Love, waiting for him in the cleft of the rock. 

It is going to be A LIFETIME encounter for so many. An encounter that will shake you to the core but don't be afraid for HE is enlarging you to receive the greatest wave of glory that he will be releasing soon. 

This encounter will simply set you ready for ADVANCEMENT and prepare you to manifest Jesus's Roar. The Lord is Looking for those who are consecrated while all of their focus is waiting on him for he is preparing a people whom He shall ROAR through. It is the time for the manifestation of the Lion of Judah, the Lord Jesus Christ is going to ROAR through his people POWERFULLY to accomplish VICTORY in a different new level. All for his praise and his glory!!!! 

I pray that so many will receive this while being ready waiting with consecration for HIM to come with his craziest encounter ever. Again, Please don't limit the Lord with your own thinking or expectation, receive him simply that WAY he desires... Glory Lord!!! Praise and Glory to your Holy Name. 

SO MANY WILL BE LIFTED UP AND ESTABLISHED ON THE ROCK. 

The Lord will lift up many out of the pit of destruction and establish their feet upon a Rock. So many will be ESTABLISHED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN THIS NEW SEASON. Simply REASONS TO REJOICE ... THE LORD IS DOING MIGHTY THINGS TO HIS PEOPLE. 

I heard this verse Loud and clear 

2He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. psalm 40:2 


It is time for your advancement (9.22.15) 

The Lord spoke and said " I told you before and I will say it again, I will provide" The provision is going to come in the last minute, by sudden. 




A season is on you in which the Lord is going to ROAR on your behalf and PAVE a way where it look like there is no way!. 



His voice will level the ground for you and will part the sea. Step Forward and Cross Over on a dry land. 



2"I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. 3"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 

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS

Honesty and integrity are cornerstones of righteousness.  I call you, My people, to be right and good in all things and to keep your heart aligned with My purposes, says the Lord.  Trust is a sacred part of relationship with others as well as with Me.  Be fair, reliable and honest in everything you say and do, and blessing will flow into your life.  Otherwise, darkness will prevail.  

Proverbs 11:3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.

THE WORD OF THE LORD FOR AMERICA by Nita Johnson

sent by Pris
Part F  Seattle

 

We've got to become warriors who forget about ourselves-warriors that will fight for God's will in this nation. We sang the song tonight about the Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be done on earth as in heaven." Do you mean it? Are you sure? What are you willing to go through to make that a reality? What are you willing to endure to ensure that God can make that a reality? Think about this carefully. It may require more than you are prepared to endure. You may have to let go of things that have been on your heart for a long time because you've got to help save America first. Then you can go back and pick up where you left off. It's not a picnic. He's not inviting any of us to a picnic. We are warriors of light. We must come forth as the light. The light must be in our hands. The light must be in our soul. The light must be in our heart. The light must come forth from our mouth. We must be willing to fight, and when the battle gets rough, we can't complain. What!?! No complaining? We can't complain because that weakens us. We have to stand. We have to be willing to suffer, if necessary, to bring forth the will of God in America, and subsequently, the world.

 

I'm telling you my brothers and sisters, God is so wonderful! He is so beautiful, so perfect, and so kind. He is so gracious, and He won't let anyone go through anything more than is necessary to win this nation. If you say you don't want to have to suffer, then I suppose He will pull back. However, if you want to be part of what He needs to bring America through the crisis and into the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ, you have to be willing to pay the price. Whatever that price may be. Did I know that my price was going to be what it has turned out to be before this? Yes. He didn't call me through all of this and let me know as I was going through it: Well, I forgot to mention this, Nita. That isn't the way we traveled. He asked my permission thirty years ago. If I had to do it all over again, would I to see the promise of God fulfilled in this nation? What is the population of this nation? 320 million people. What is it worth? 320 million lives. What is it worth? 320 million souls.

 

We can't sit home and do nothing anymore. We're right at the pinnacle of what this nation has to do to save itself, and God will do it. But He can't do it through people who will not live in holiness and who will not spend the time needed in prayer to accomplish His will in this present hour. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we must become greater than we can be. How many of you will tonight, commit to walking in a new way with Jesus? Just stand, please. You guys are great! You better mean it.

 

[Prayer]

 

Father, let Your Spirit come upon these people. Let the spirit of valor come upon them. Give them a heart to stand against the New World Order. Give them a heart to pray day and night, if necessary, to see Your will done in this nation. Give them the kind of valor that You gave to that group, Lord Jesus, so many years ago during World War II, when they began to wrestle and fight for victory in prayer for the allies. They won. They won the war on their knees.

 

Lord, thank You for this fire. Put this fire in the hearts of the people here. Give them a heart to believe anything can happen. You are the God of all power. You are the God of all might. There is nothing too difficult for You-nothing too difficult for You. You alone are God. You alone are the power of the whole earth. You alone are the mighty One.

 

You are the lover of Your Church. It is not Your will that any should perish, Lord-most especially, Your Church. Even tonight, we stand here together with our hearts broken over Your beauty. Our hearts are broken over the needs of America-a nation that must repent. We're going to have to go through the Your disciplines, Lord. We must go through them. It is the only thing that is going to soften the hardened hearts of this nation. But You will give Your Church grace. You will hide Your Church. You will make us able to prevail amidst the discipline.

 

But to the New World Order, we say, "No!" We say, "Stop!" We say, "We don't want you in this nation!" No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

 

I say, men of valor, women of valor, rise up and fight! You are the glory and the lifter of our heads. There is no power above You, Lord. Bring the Church to a place of brokenness and contrition that she will repent of her own sins and the sins of this nation. Let the spirit of contrition pour out-the spirit of supplication pour out upon this nation. Pour out Your Spirit, Lord! Pour out Your Spirit! Give Your Church the heart of holiness! Cause us to want Your holiness more than we want to breathe. None like You, Lord! None like You! Who is there like You, Lord? God, pick up Your Church. Bring her to her knees. Cause her to weep the tears of God. Cause her to weep the tears of God.

 

[End prayer]

 

I can remember years and years ago when the Lord took me up to a mountain range, and He said, "Look, Nita, Look." And I looked. Everywhere I looked, there was idolatry. It was hideous and horrible. He began to weep. And He quoted the passage in-I think it's Luke 19:41-where it talks about Jesus overlooking the city of Jerusalem, crying out to Jerusalem. He said, "How often I would have gathered you under My wings, but You would not." He is weeping over America. I'm standing right there next to Him. I began to weep with Him. My Lord is crying. It's the worst scene in the whole world to see Jesus cry over our sins. We're standing on that mountain together. He is weeping over our nation. And then He begins to prophesy what is going to happen. It's right out of the Bible, except that He's not prophesying over Jerusalem; He's prophesying over America. And back then, I didn't realize that this was a call to keep crying. I didn't realize that I was making a grave mistake to dry my eyes and get up and walk away. I didn't understand that He was calling me to weep and to pray for this nation. But sixteen years ago, when He touched my heart, and He told me, "This is what I need from you." I haven't quit crying.

 

America needs our tears. America needs us to weep for her. The Church needs us to weep for our nation. I can't stand to see His Divine heart broken, but neither can I stand to think of the suffering of a nation that is in rebellion and does not know how to return home. He needs your tears. Weep for Him.

 

[Prayer] Lord, we have nothing to give You-nothing-nothing. All we can give You is our tears. All we can give You is our brokenness. We have nothing to give You. We cannot help except we weep. We cry. We travail. We groan. O Lord, to touch Your heart and not be broken has to be the greatest sin there is. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on us. Help us weep for You. Help us groan. Help us travail for our nation. Give us a broken heart like the heart of our Lord. We've taken from You what we do not deserve, Lord-what we do not own. Jesus said to the Pharisees, give to God what is God's and give to the world what belongs to the world. If Herod wants his coins, give them to him. But give to God what is God's. What is God's? It is the people of the earth. How can we think to hold in our hand what belongs to our Savior, our Master, our Lord? Weep. Weep. We give America to you. We give the wealth of this nation to You, Lord. We give the peoples of this nation to You, Lord. You've called us to be a Father of nations. We give those nations to You, Lord. Be the healer of the world.

 

[End Prayer]

 

I want to thank you tonight. I want to thank you for coming. I want to thank you for staying. I want to thank you for praying. You don't know what a miracle it is that I was able to come and stand up here as long as I did. It is because of the Lord's love-His love for this nation, His love for you.

 

I just want you to put your hands on your heart. One of the things He said He wanted to do while we were together tonight is to pour Himself into your heart in a spirit of hope. He wants you to have hope. He wants you to have faith. So I'm going to pray for you. Those online, those who are here-just put your hand over your heart and let me pray for you.

 

[Prayer] Father, days ago when we decided to have this meeting, I felt the hopelessness of the intercessors, it was so deep. They didn't feel like they could revive the hope to keep praying. Then, I felt Your hand literally create a cleavage in the heart, and You poured the substance of hope in their hearts. Do that tonight for those who came online and, for those who are here, Lord. I speak the release of hope-the release of hope into the hearts of America's intercessors. Send Your Fire, Lord. Send Your vision. Give them vision-vision from on high.

 

Lord, we can prevail. We will prevail! You said You were going to save America. You were going to intervene. At what level that's going to happen, I don't know. But, I don't care what the days hold, the end of the matter is that You are going to intervene - if You can just have the prayers of the saints. That's all You're asking, Lord-that we stand in faith for our nation and that we pray.

 

O warriors of light, arise. Arise. Arise in the Lord. Arise in faith. Arise in hope. Arise, warriors of light! Arise! Arise! Rejoice in the Lord Your God, for He is faithful.

 

We thank You for Your presence here tonight. We thank You for touching those online that You touched, Lord. I thank You for helping us to know that You have people that are waiting in the wings, ready to come forth and be what they are called to be to save the Church. I thank You for that, Father. Nothing is beyond Your notice. You have prepared years in advance for what we need today. And I thank You for Your genius, Your brilliance, Your care, Your love. In Your precious name. Amen.

 

We bless you. Be blessed in Jesus name.

In His Love, Nita Johnson

7 Declarations for 5776 & Beyond by James W. Goll

Franklin, TN

God still speaks today! Are you listening? What are you hearing?

While we agree that the canon of Scripture is closed, we believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did before He continues to do. One of these ongoing activities is that of "communication." The Holy Spirit wants to speak to each of us personally.

Man lives by the ever-proceeding Word of the Lord. Take a look at this Old Testament verse quoted by Jesus in the New Testament.

Deuteronomy 8:3 states, He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.
Matthew 4:4 states, But He (Jesus) answered and said, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"
With this in mind, let's take a look at 7 decrees I sense the Holy Spirit is asking us to align with in this New Hebrew Year and Beyond. 

7 Decrees for 5776 and Beyond!

1. My Word Is Alive and Active!

This phrase of course comes from Hebrews 4:12. But recently I had a visitation where the "glory of the Lord" appeared in my living room from floor to ceiling as a cylinder of His presence, and amber colors swirled around. A DNA ladder appeared in its midst as the entire element was rotating. Then a voice came from the pillar and stated, "My Word is Alive and Active!" I heard it over and over, again and again. (Photo via James Goll)

There is life in the Bible. It is the only book that when you read it – it reads you! Meditate on the Word. Love the Scriptures. God's plan, purposes and ways are taught in this precious book. There will be a revival of the Word of God!

2. It Is a Time of Apostolic Motion!

We have entered into the second apostolic age of the Church. We are living the Convergence of the Ages and the Days of Acceleration. Bishop Bill Hamon of Christian International calls this period, The Day of the Saints.

It is now a time of apostolic motion. I did not say "apostolic succession". Batons of leadership and stewardship are being passed from one generation to another in this coming year. But does it require one generation to graduate to Heaven for this to occur as is often the past typical model? No! There are new things for these seasoned leaders to graduate into and thus there is the necessity to empower the next generation to lead. It is truly a time of the joining of the generations.

3. The Art of Interpreting Signs and Wonders Goes to a Higher Level!

A spirit of fear has been cultivated by well-meaning leaders and many Believers by misinterpreting and over evaluating the present "signs of the times." Thank God we are at least learning to read the signs and are not ignoring them! This is a step forward. But there is a wave of confusion that could come upon different sectors of the Body of Christ as predicted, and thus expected, "economic melt downs" and other despairing reports are not occurring as stated. But God has a remedy!

Out of necessity and calling, a higher level ofdiscernment and wisdom for properly interpreting the signs of the times will now increase. It is time to go higher like Joseph did (see Genesis 37 to 46). God will deliver us from misery Christianity and escapism into Glorious Eschatology. (Photo free images)

4. It Is the End of 500 Years of the Great Reformation and the Beginning of the Great Transformation!

Historians usually date the start of the Protestant Reformation to the 1517 publication of Martin Luther's "95 Theses." Add 500 years to this and it is the year 2017. So as we turn the corner into the year 2016, it is the hinge of the close of a 500-year history of the Great Reformation. But a hinge on a door is for both opening and closing. We are turning the corner into the Beginning of the Great Transformation of the Church. The Fourth Wave of the Holy Spirit in modern Church history has already begun.

5. The Release of "Divine Intelligence" for Hope Solutions!

I have also recently experienced a realm of what I understand to be called "divine intelligence." The lives of Joseph, Daniel and Solomon are Scriptural examples of this for us. God gave them "divine insight" or "divine understanding" or one translation calls it "divine intelligence." This includes the Gifts of the Holy Spirit but blends this with the New Testament understandings of "having the mind of Christ."

I believe it is a release of the 7 Spirits of God as recorded in Isaiah 11:1-3 and twice in the book of Revelation. It would be the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding and Counsel. HOPE SOLUTIONS are being released in this hour and in the coming years to bring Heaven's solutions to difficult problems in the earth realm. It is time for Hope Solutions!

6. The Beginning of a Fresh Move of the Holy Spirit Among the "Nomads" of the Earth!

While I was in worship, I was shown a vision of an unusual movement of the Holy Spirit that is beginning among nomads or the displaced peoples of the earth. I saw them on a pilgrimage leaving everything behind as they are seeking refuge in the natural. But they will find their refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Tens of thousands of Muslims will come to faith in Jesus as their one true God! Angels, healings, miracles and appearances of the Lord Jesus Himself will appear to these nomadic peoples scattered across the face of the earth.

Right after I had this open vision, it was confirmed in the news the next day that there are 57 million nomads wandering the face of the earth. God will be calling some to go and be like "Holy Spirit Gypsies" among them; loving them, singing with them and praying for them. It is a new Field Ripe unto Harvest!

7. It Is the Beginning of a Great Harvest!

Yes, we are crossing the threshold unto a fresh release of laborers empowered by the Holy Spirit for such a time as this. Believers will be "sent ones" into the fields of Harvest.

Seer prophet Bob Jones declared in 1983 that 3 signs would occur letting us know that the beginning of the great one billion soul harvest had begun. (Photo via James Goll)

Bob declared:

1) Abortion would be perfected by a pill. (No one thought Bob knew what he was talking about at the time. For years now we have had the "day after" pill.)

2) The U.S. government and other governments of the world would embrace the gay agenda in their court systems. (This was confirmed by the recent U.S. Supreme ruling embracing same-sex marriage.)

3) Laborers in the rice fields of China would watch 24/7 worship on unplugged television sets on their wrists. (This is an obvious statement concerning smart watches and other similar inventions.)

While I do not rejoice in these signs coming to pass, I do move into redemptive interpretation and declare, "These are the beginning of the Days of a Great Harvest!" (Photo via Pixabay)

We see in part, know in part and speak in part. I trust these parts will be used to encourage you. Please note that these 7 Declarations need to be prayed into, and birthed into their mature fulfillment. Will you join me in that task?

Blessings to You in Christ Jesus!

Dream by Suzanne

The Lord gave me a dream a couple of days ago.

There was a very large group of people.  I knew they represented many, many different churches.  Episcopal, Methodist, Lutheran to name just a few.  Suddenly I was saying over and over again,  "I've never seen anything like it!  I've never seen anything like it!  They all got healed OR got the faith to be healed!"  I think I said the last sentence out loud and it woke me.  I was laughing and crying.  Overwhelming joy.  It seems the number 67 fits in there somewhere but I don't know where.

If you have any thoughts on this dream, please post in the comments.

Kim Clement Update

Here's a little note from Kim and Jane's oldest daughter, Donne:

"My family and I are so grateful for your continued prayer and financial support during one of the most difficult times of our life as a family and a ministry. We are very happy to report that my dad has been moved out of ICU and into the step down unit of the hospital! This is the time where the hard work for him will really begin as he goes through therapy and he will need your prayer and support now more than ever. But he's getting better and better every day so your prayers are working! My mom especially is so grateful to you all right now and I can see how she gains strength in knowing you're all standing with her for my dad's recovery. Thank you so much!"

Love Presumed by Pam Clark

A very hard lesson that I have experienced, especially in contending with God,  is Love presumed upon.  I was raised loved in my home, but it was not a perfect home, as I believe most aren't.  There were things to brag about and things I would feel ashamed about as "the ideal" is lifted up and seen (perceived) and fallen short.

School is about getting good grades - and some parents are into that more than others.  Even sports can be lessons in competition and there is good and bad competition and fair and unfair playing grounds.  There are different faiths that blend together, especially in the public school setting, and respect for all is necessary or there are many offenses and clashes.  Some carry on ugly, even in the adult world.

I felt my lacks and they bothered me, but then I would see those who had less than me, and some of the severe cases would trouble me.  I saw those who had it better, whose families had more money, more abilities, more favor and learned like many, that many ideals were personally and spiritually interpreted, although I may not have used those exact terms then.  But it was my view, not my comparison that made the difference.

"Liberty and justice for all, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,"  words such as these make you look around and wonder as your thinking brain is developed.  If children at a young age are intimidated more that invited into participation in life, they will follow others and let others make important trusted decisions for them.

But that does not change the perception that love and blessing and favor are things we want to strive for.  Some watch out for us and become our heros;  others don't so much and sometimes become "the enemy."  And many things are in a state of flux.

Obviously there are injustices and as people of prayer, we will take those to God and hear His words to find our solutions.   Some say forgive, some say fight, some say contend, some say be proactive with love, be tolerant, be self focused on your decisions for good or not, confess words, and all those can be our works, right or wrong for the moment!

But when we are seeking the Love and blessing of God, we see favor for certain families, even in the churches.  And the reason for that there even is because of the need for trust.  And while a lot of that is really good, there are times we want a pure Spiritual response from God.  This is where we engage our own souls in a spirit of change and it's not something that others necessarily understand, discern or see clearly on.

There is that "inner man" in all of us that seeks justice.  It's easier for Christians when Jesus is that inner man developing, because we really will see real change, and that is a work in progress.  But the world is not what all it should be yet and there are many wars and rumors of wars, local, social and abroad.  We pursue the Love of God one on one because we want real and lasting changes.

This can be rough territy and tough grounds to cross at times.  We were raised certain ways and with certain teachings and mindsets, and even different communities have different flavors and reasons for why they see and interpret things the way they do.  Not everyone agrees, so we need His Spirit!

A prophetic spirit is challeged and trained to engage and understand these things.  They are not just the prognosticators of up and coming events and they are not the magic solution for all the problems of the Church and world, even though impartations have been give to all in the Body of Christ for these things.

Prophets can be over-rated and misunderstood and sometimes they are just wrong.  Every person in the Body of Christ has a gift that makes a difference, just not all are using it or walking in it!  When we make idols and focus on the wrong things, we can't help but go off track.  When we get it right, awesome things happen!

But when we get it wrong, and just miss it, we can go to God in an expectation of presumption and get offended when things don't work out like we think they should.  We might even be right and things don't go right and we become grieved.

We can take it to God and seem to get a blank reply, but the truth is, we don't know it all yet (and probably never will).  God is good and believing that, especially with hard circumstances, can be a difficult burden, but it's our only solution.  Many people turn to the Word of God in the  midst of grievous trials and even then, it takes the Holy Spirit and anointed teachers to make things understood in ways for pure solace.

But we can also get very offended when things don't go right or well and the results of that can affect us and those around us.  Much of the world is offended, if you read the evening news.  And God is not usually offered as a comfort when you hear the tragic news stories, but you will hear of good people here and there, thank God!, making a difference.  But we can't presume upon good people, because they are just people!

Pray-ers and prophets will go to God for answers.  It's not an easy job but many are driven to do it.  And when we have been raised and sheltered in wonderful love and care, and something disturbs or breaks that, we can get hurt internally and become very wounded or offended.  Some learn to cope and even fake through it, some lose their minds - or souls and hearts.  Some are skilled at helping.  (Hospitals can be proof of some of that.)

But this is where we need to stand in the gap!  And it's not easy work, but it's the work that Jesus did.  We can presume on the goodness and love of God, but a Price was paid for it.  Many end up negotiating for their own terms on things, and to a big degree many are successful, but it's not final until it is in God and His words.  He will stand.

That doesn't just mean knowing the Bible, and that is a powerful tool.  That was Jesus' biggest battle, those who wanted to take Him down over the words of God (including the Pharisees and the devil himself).  Jesus said "God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth."

That means there is a Spiritual dimension to all of this and we must keep seeking our never ending God!  And if we are getting overwhelmed, ideally that must be in His goodness.  But it takes the overcomer spirit.

We must learn Him - because we can never overcome Him, though many have tried.  And He is up for every battle, but how much better if we find His Love instead.  It cannot be about "our knowledge" because then that puts us in charge.  Then we are tempted to presume upon something that may not being given.  But, if we know His will, we can find the path to what we need.

There is a knowledge of the heart that does not presume, or if it accidentally does, it can find a grace for that error.  Some find grace in spite of themselves!  Some have false walls of pretense, but if our foundation is on the Solid Rock of God's Word, we discover that His mercy and lovingkindness does endure forever!

We don't want to presume upon His Grace and find ourselves (in spirit) crucifying the Son of God afresh.  That is the ultimate presumption when we say we no longer need the Holy Spirit of God and the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.  Denying the need for His Spirit is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, the unforgiveable and unpardonable sin.

God's Love is so amazing, so big, so wondrous, that we want and do well to keep Him the main thing.  Others may not understand us, but eventually they will if we do not presume.  We can't put God and Church in a box and (we) say that this is all there is.  He jumps out of that box every time!  We can't set ourselves up as Lord over anything, but be His willing servants, even when we are exploring ourselves.

It is Christ IN us that is the Hope of Glory.  When He is there, others things will start falling into place, even when we are breaking into new territory.  WE just have to trust and obey.

Practicing His Presence by Rick Joyner

     This week we will continue our study of some of the greatest Christian lives.

Brother Lawrence
     Brother Lawrence was born Nicolas Herman in 1614 in the region of Lorraine in France. As a young man his poverty compelled him to join the army and fight in the Thirty Years’ War. One day while beholding a barren tree in winter, he had a remarkable conversion experience. Like the tree, he felt dead but held on to the hope that God had a life for him. As he pondered this, the knowledge of God’s faithfulness and love flooded his soul. He said that this experience gave him a supernatural clarity into natural, common sight.
     After being injured while in the military, he took a job as a valet. He later joined the Discalced Carmelite Priory in Paris, taking the religious name, “Lawrence of the Resurrection.” Not having the education necessary to become a cleric, he spent most of his life within the walls of the priory doing the most common labor, working in the kitchen or repairing sandals.
     In the religious circles of the time, a belief prevailed that one had to suffer and work through formulas to please God and find His grace. This is what originally compelled Lawrence to join the priory. He felt he must suffer for his failures. However, over time his “supernatural clarity” led him to simply worship the Lord in all that he did, even in the most mundane tasks. This led to one of the most remarkable lives of the peace and joy that we are promised in His kingdom.
     By Lawrence’s own admission, it took years of difficult and tedious devotion for him to experience the Lord’s presence continually. Even so, his perseverance paid off. He gradually began to experience His presence and see the Lord’s glory in all of his labors and daily experiences. He was subjected to great drudgery because of his low position, but it was said that he became happier than a king. In this way he ennobled all labor, treating it as sacred when done as unto the Lord.
     Brother Lawrence became so well known for his profound peace and joy that people from all stations in life started coming to him to seek spiritual guidance. The wisdom he communicated through these conversations and in letters became the basis for the book, The Practice of the Presence of God. Father Joseph de Beaufort compiled this work after Brother Lawrence died in 1691. It became popular among Catholics and Protestants alike, impacting such great lights as John Wesley and A.W. Tozer.
Some of Brother Lawrence’s Wisdom
     “The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees before the Blessed Sacrament.”
     “The church’s only road to the perfection of Christ is faith.”
     “Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. Still more is possible for the person who has love. Nothing is impossible for the person who has all three.”
     “We need to learn to be faithful in dry times. It is during those dry spells that God tests our love for Him. We should take advantage of those times to practice our determination and our surrender to Him.”
     “Our sanctification does not depend as much on changing our activities as it does doing them for God rather than for ourselves.”
     “The Lord is not so impressed with the dimensions of our work as much as He is with the love with which it is done.”
     “To be sure that we are doing God’s will we must develop faith, hope and love.”
     Brother Lawrence insisted that constantly being aware of God’s presence is necessary to form the habit of continually talking with Him. He asked for help every time he needed it, and it was his experience that God never failed to provide aid. The foundation of Brother Lawrence’s spiritual life was the faith that revealed to him the exalted position of Christ.

The "Blood" Moons and the moon turning as blood by Bill Wilson

My wife and I watched the eclipse of the moon Sunday night. It was kind of cloudy and there was no reddish cast to the moon as it went in and out of its eclipse. Other photos that I saw showed a reddish cast to the moon. There is significance to these reddish moons, but it may not be what was hyped. Remember, some people called them "Blood" moons and teachers pointed everyone toward Joel 2:31, Revelation 6:12 and Acts 2:20, which refers to Joel 2:31. The moons named "blood" moons by men, and the moon turning to blood as prophesied in the Bible are two different things. One is referring to "the great and terrible day of the Lord." The other is a sign in the heavens that draws attention to the prophecies.

Joel 2:31 says, "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD comes."Revelation 6:12 is speaking of the Day of the Lord, and says, "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." Isaiah 13:10, also speaking of that Day of the Lord's coming, says "For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine." Many prophets, including Ezekiel, Joel, and Amos, as well as Job and John speak of the same event when the Lord returns.

While extremely interesting, the reddish moons we have seen in recent time are not the way the moon is prophesied in the day of the Lord. First, there wasn't a great earthquake. The sun did not turn as black as sackcloth, and the moon really didn't turn as blood. Jesus said in Matthew 24:29-30 ,"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory."

Most importantly, the Lord did not return after the final tetrad moon. He will...eventually. I dare say, however, that there will be no doubt in the heavens when the Lord returns. It will be an awesome moment. But before he returns, there are certain events that scripture says will happen. Paul writes in Thessalonians 2, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition...so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." This is very clear: 1) don't be deceived, 2) falling away, 3) antichrist (beast) revealed, 4) sits in the temple as God. Keep watching. Keep praying. Keep reading your Bible. Keep discerning. And do not be deceived.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS

When all hell seems to be breaking loose, hunker down.  Be quiet and do not allow turmoil and confusion to disturb your peace and sense of well-being.  Call on Me for wisdom and direction.  I am your present help in trouble, and nothing is too difficult for Me, says the Lord, and I am with you.  

Zechariah 2:13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"

A WHOLE NEW WORLD IS BEFORE YOU by Lana Vawser

All morning the song “A whole new world” from the kids movie Aladdin has been playing over and over in my head. I went and looked up the lyrics and felt the Lord saying that this is a word for many who are leaning in and waiting for new doors to open.

** Lyrics:

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I’m way up here, it’s crystal clear
That now I’m in a whole new world with you
(Now I’m in a whole new world with you)
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don’t you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath, it gets better

I’m like a shooting star
I’ve come so far
I can’t go back
To where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise

With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red letter
I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you **

(Lyrics taken from www.metrolyrics.com)

I felt the Lord saying that many who are waiting and contending for open doors are now meeting and about to meet doors of destiny that are going to open (Isaiah 22:22) a whole new world up before them. Everything is going to look different but in the most glorious way.

The Lord is taking His people up higher, and these new doors that are being opened and entered through are COMPLETELY NEW, so they will require a new level of heavenly insight. A new level of clarity and insight will be released over His people as they step up to the doors and through them. These doors are releasing the people of God into greater manifestations of their dreams, into a place of such deep contentment and joy that they will feel like they are “living the dream”.

All the opposition, all the confusion, all the haze is going to fade away as the people of God move through these doors. As they “come up higher” with the Lord to a place of crystal clear insight and clarity. (Jeremiah 33:3) Things of this season and the tremendous opposition will suddenly make sense. It’s a new level of freedom, it’s a new level of soaring, and the Lord is taking His people on new adventures and these adventures will be SO exciting and the Lord is going to share His heart and treasures and there will be such much more to see in this release than the people of God have ever seen. The expectation and excitement in the spirit is going to a whole new level.

Walking through these new doors of destiny, the Lord is going to show you how far He has brought you. You may have been stretched almost to the point of feeling like you were going to die, but you are going to accelerate once you step through these doors in a way you haven’t experienced before. Where you have been pressed, you are coming forth as a beautiful diamond shining His Glory in MANY different facets and in these new destiny doors you are moving into a deeper place of seeing He is the greatest diamond of all. The greatest treasure and you will begin to see new facets of His Glory, His nature and promises in these encounters with Him in these new realms. His Word is going to come alive to you like never before in this season. Oceans of encounters await in the red letters of Jesus’ words. HUGE levels of revelation and an aligning of focus back to Jesus away from distraction and false beliefs is happening in deeper ways in this season. An aligning back to and deeper into focus on Jesus and His Word is happening right now that is breaking off holds of the enemy, containment, limitations, distractions, doubt and fear.

As these destiny doors are set and open before you, a greater YES will be required from you to the Lord, a new level of surrender and trust that hasn’t been explored before, but a heavenly resolve and conviction is coming upon the people of God to move forward in the pursuit of seeing heaven come to earth and a determination that despite the cost, despite the sacrifice, “I cannot go back”. Onwards and upwards from here!

As these destiny doors open, I saw many looking at them in awe but fear trying to keep them from moving forward because the doors are BIGGER than they realised and require a greater sacrifice. Do NOT let fear steal the door that’s before you. You are moving into a whole new world in Him! He is going to speak to you in greater creative ways, He is going to make His confirmations LOUD, and you will be comforted by His presence IS WITH YOU in the “NEW”. His voice of love, the revelation of His perfect love is going to wash away the fear as you take this new ride with Him.

There is a new horizon before you people of God! Keep standing in Him, keep close to Him, your ear to His chest. A whole new world is going to open up for you through these doors of destiny, and it’s only going to get better from here.

There are MANY WIDE EYED GASPS OF AWE coming over the people of God as they watch Him FAR EXCEED their dreams and expectations. (Ephesians 3:20)

There are MANY GLORIOUS surprises along the way!!!!!!!

Get ready to SEE Him like you have never seen Him before. Fun adventures and joy is before the people of God, a whole new level of dreaming with and in Him. In seeing HIM, all else around is going to become crystal clear. We are stepping deeper into the revelation of being “seated in heavenly places with Him”. (Ephesians 2:6) It’s your time to SHINE!

“A new fantastic point of view” is UPON YOU!

“A new horizon to pursue.. I’m like a shooting star, I’ve come so far, I can’t go back to where I used to be.”

OUR PRAISE OUR GREATEST WEAPON! by Jo Ellen Stevens

I was in a bad state of mind for a couple of days this week.There had been so much going on in my life that was sad and negative…deaths, health issues, people speaking evil against me for saying God is Good! I had let it set in and meditated on it until I was overwhelmed with hurt and almost in a state of depression! Now, I am not like this normally but I had allowed and hear me, allowed it to stop me from writing some things that God had given me and I am not usually this vulnerable to even tell this kind of stuff to anyone, but I feel that people need to understand this right now, more than ever as the darkness gets darker on the earth! We must not think of praise as just singing a little song but WE MUST UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN IN OUR PRAISE! IT IS DEADLY TO OUR ENEMY BUT IT IS OUR LIFE AND IT IS OUR STRENGTH!

~OPPRESSION MUST FLEE AT THE SOUND OF YOUR PRAISE~

My Husband came home today and I was still wrestling with much of this when he sat down at the Keyboard and started worshiping the Lord…. Bam! It was as if the atmosphere around me became thick with the presence of God and that spirit of oppression and hopelessness went out the door! I am telling you as someone who knows this principal. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO QUIT SINGING AND WORSHIPING GOD! Our praise and worship is the greatest weapon against every tongue that rises against us in judgement! It is the greatest weapon against oppression and depression! it is the greatest weapon to shut the enemies mouth, and it is available to us as Christians,in fact, it is our honor to use his word in our mouth to bind the enemy of our soul!

Psalms 8:2 (CJB) “From the mouths of babies and infants at the breast
you established strength because of your foes,in order that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.”

Psalms 149 6-9 (KJV)  “Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains,and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute on them the written judgment—this honor have all His saints.” 

~YOU CAN’T PRAISE HIM AND STAY THE SAME!~

You can not praise God and hear the enemy! You can not praise God and not begin to see His greatness and your enemy smaller! You can not praise Him and not build up your faith! You can not praise Him and stay hopeless! It is just not possible! He inhabits our praises that literally means that He manifests in our praises!

~THIS IS NOT TIME TO RETREAT BUT IT IS TIME TO PRAISE HIM!~

The problem is that when too much opposition comes at once, we tend to not go there! We instead, tend to retreat, but God is wanting me to tell you right now, that if you retreat, the enemy wins! Stop letting him win the battles because Jesus has already won the war!!!!! ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST START PRAISING HIM FOR THE VICTORY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL AT CALVARY! ENFORCE THIS VICTORY THROUGH YOUR PRAISE UNTIL THE ENEMY HAS TO SHUT HIS MOUTH! DON’T WAIT TILL THE BATTLE IS OVER SHOUT NOW!!!”

Arise Shine! Jo Ellen Stevens

Are We Asking the Right Questions? by Amanda Wells

Brisbane, Australia

An Encounter with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

I recently had an encounter where I was taken again into a room where the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) were talking and strategizing. As I walked in, they called me over to a massive table where they were talking and included me in the conversation. Jesus spoke to me and said, "Sometimes the Church is not asking the right questions. We long to give the wisdom of insight when they ask the right questions."

He went on to say, "Many in the Church assume We're angry, and We're judging the nations. We are neither. We are not judging Australia, UK, Europe or USA! But when we aren't asked what WE ARE DOING in the midst of the affairs of earth, assumptions can be made and they will miss Our heart for all that is happening in the world right now."

Jesus said to me, "We desire Our Bride to ask us why certain issues are so highlighted in the earth today, and what is the strategy of Heaven to bring transformation and reformation, not to debate as to right and wrong, as this was never the intention. To change the world, My Bride needs to seek ways to bring the environment into a position where it is under the influence of the Kingdom, and it all begins with asking a DIFFERENT question. (Photo via Pixabay)

"We are dismayed that instead of asking, why same-sex marriage is a highlighted issue, and the perspective of Heaven on this, which is to create the greatest awakening the nations have ever seen, at times the wrong answers have been given to unasked questions of Us!

"There is a massive population shift at present, and the Church needs to ask Us what We are doing. They are moved with compassion but there are unasked questions, and the Church, if they do not ask correctly, will miss the ability to adjust their nations economy to Heaven's alignment."

Jesus said to me, "Australia, Britain, USA, France and Germany this is your time. You have been moved with compassion, but don't miss the keys We want to download to you, so as to align the Nations for the greatest revival, transformation and reformation ever seen. The nations have been pregnant with promise for a long time and now the birthing has occurred. What will you do with those who come? What is Our intention in the mass movement of people?"

What is With the Questions?

Jesus went on to explain to me how the right question can be a disruptive agent that will cut through into new levels of understanding and unveil deeper and richer thoughts that will create transformation in our nations.(Photo via Pexels)

Jesus asked 307 questions, but was only asked 183!

When someone was caught in sin, or needed healing Jesus responded by asking a question!"Women where are your accusers?" (John 8:10). Let's think about it. In reality she had no idea! When Jesus asked the question, "Who touched Me?" (Luke 8:45), a woman responded quickly knowing many were touching Him, and her response drew an answer; the disciples however did not understand the power of the right question!

The enemy knows the power of the RIGHT questions and this is why he is shutting all questions down in our nations and spheres of influence. He is intimidating people with fear from asking questions and this way he shuts down supernatural solutions!

The Power of a Wrong Question

When Jesus came into the Temple and read from Isaiah 61, everyone present sat mesmerized. God had been silent for 400 years (the time between Old and New Testament), and they had only heard routine and their form of religion, and suddenly the atmosphere changed. It became electric as He read the Words that came from the heart of the Father; they became Spirit and life. For the first time they encountered God's presence and sensed individual divine significance believing that God had called them and suddenly they recognized their value.

Then someone said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?" A simple question was asked and none of them were mature enough to answer it! The question brought them all back to earth, shifted the atmosphere, and that city, Nazareth, became known as the city of unbelief!

The Churches' Biggest Opportunity

"Ask Me what I am doing as same-sex marriage is highlighted, as refugees are pouring out of nations and teeming into other nations, and in the economic instability."

He said to me, "All of these happenings are the Churches' biggest opportunity to see the greatest reformation, but if My Bride gives their own answer and not ask Me the questions, then nations will miss this great opportunity. A child asks questions, so My Bride must come to Me with the impassioned questioning of youth." (Photo via Wikipedia)

Before the encounter finished I heard the Lord say, "I'm preparing the earth, each and every nation, for the greatest awakening the earth has ever seen, repositioning people, families, governments, financial institutions, courts and I'm releasing a new thing."

Australia, we are on the verge of revival and awakening in every sphere of influence. Acts 3:19-21 tell us that Jesus isn't going to return until the restoration of all things that were spoken by the prophets since the beginning of time:

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

The first prophetic word in Genesis 1:28 is about to be fulfilled, as we are entering a season of unprecedented restoration and reconciliation, and we'll see the Josephs, Joshuas and Daniels arise in our midst!

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Are we asking the right questions, seeking the unusual answers, and not presuming we know everything already?

We have the keys to truths that will set our nations free... Let's use them wisely.
