ANNIE BYRNE
Annie Byrne is a revivalist who desires to see the church and society transformed by fully embracing the truth and power of the kingdom of God. She believes that each person has a deposit of “Christ in them”, and that they truly are the secret to revealing God’s Glory on the earth.

As a young woman Annie traveled with Randy Clark, after attending his ministry school, and was able to serve as a personal assistant and to speak and impact the nations for God. She believes strongly that if we want to change the world we need to model ourselves after Jesus, and move through culture to change culture. If you have the chance to talk to her, even if just for one minute, she prays that you will walk away at a higher level of Glory and love for who God made you!

Annie is now serving as the Director of Encourager School of Kingdom Ministry, and as the Pastor of Supernatural Ministry at Encourager Church. She also loves speaking at churches, Universities, young adult groups, leadership teams, basically anywhere she can, so that the message of the transforming power and Glory is revealed to all!

Next Monday (Mar 27) -

JAY KOOPMAN
Jay and Brittany Koopman serve together as the Directors for the Youth and Young Adults ministries of HRock Church. Jay’s intense passion for Jesus has brought a message of hope, healing, and restoration to a generation of young people. In 2003 Jay became a youth pastor in Los Angeles and revival broke out in the young adult and youth ministry he led, as it grew from 20 to 500 people in a matter of two years. Brittany has worked in nearly every aspect of church life for the last six years, but her passion is to see families walking and living in health and wholeness. Her desire is to help children feel empowered to love well and encourage parents to feel equipped to lead their families inspired – raising up a generation of healthy future mothers and fathers.

Blessings on your week!

Picking up the Pieces by Vicki Blair

Picking up the Pieces (PR) – 1/06/17 by vickiblair

Tri-County Prophetic Roundtable - Tulare CA

I hear "PICKING UP THE PIECES" and I believe that's the season we're in.  And what I see is a scene after a bomb has went off and there's a sense of confusion, loss and looking around to see who's alive, who needs help and who is gone.  I see a man who is picking up fragments of different things off of the ground and analyzing whether he has enough to move forward.  And for the leaders that are hearing His voice, I don't get a sense of sadness & quitting.  What I sense is obedience and an acceptance & willingness to do whatever the Lord would have them do in the next season.  So, it's Father God who set the bomb off.  It was needed.  And what I'm hearing is - clean slate - fresh marching orders - and new assignments.  And I see the hand of God reach down and pick up the wounded but still kicking . . and He shakes the dust and debris off and places new hats on their heads.  And for some this will mean new titles, positions or functions.

I'm also hearing "THIS AIN'T NO PARTY".  And what I see is a fresh revelation of the awe and serious nature of the work that lies ahead.  And those that were looking for a party atmosphere are going to get a wake up call.

I'm also hearing "Prayer IS the revival". . as opposed to "Praying FOR the revival".   And I'm reminded of the prayer meetings we had after returning from the Brownsville Revival.  All we wanted to do was have prayer meetings.  We didn't care as much for the church meetings because the prayer meetings were where God showed up.  I see a returning to this.

And I hear that the visions He has given us will materialize.  We need to focus on the matter at hand and if it looks different than we envisioned, recognize that it is a season and be willing to pour everything we have into it, even though it appears to be moving in a different direction.

And I feel that God is pleased.  But I also sense a shifting in the house churches and home meetings.  And He isn't going to continue to bless in this season where He blessed in the past concerning the leaders who have built communities upon the need to "escape" the Church at large.  He will be exposing heart issues and motivations that don't line up with His heart.

I'm also hearing . . JUST LET GO.  I feel like God is saying . . those that you exhausted yourself trying to prop up and strengthen to run with you were not meant to run with you.  They were with you for a season.  But He's sending reinforcements.  He's sending leaders that will not only stand shoulder to shoulder, but will be of such spiritual stature and strength, they will pull you up to a new level.

And I see a regional "connecting of the dots".  Leaders from different cities and counties will be coming together and working together on teams as closely as if they were in the same church.  Travel time will be required.

Expansion by Vicki Blair

(Released at the Tri-County Prophetic Roundtable)

We are in a season of expansion.  Good or bad, we will see the fruit of our obedience multiplied.  So what has been sown will be reaped.

I see circles representing ministries.  And they are expanding and enlarging so that they overlap with other circles that are near and also expanding.  And the areas where they overlap will produce a beautiful mixture and blending of anointings and purposes.

It is also a season of expansion in the hearts of leaders - where we have allowed God to break us and we have stood in the face of rejection, abandonment and betrayal and chose to love and move forward when we wanted to throw in the towel.

We have come through a season of choosing obedience over desires and expectations - and allowing God to fully take the reigns.

He's breaking the mold and shifting the way ministries are established.  Relationship is key.  He is forming bonds that cannot be broken.  This will be required to withstand the repercussions and "blow back" (see below) that will be experienced by ministries and leaders who will be instrumental in hosting the move of God.

When our focus is on protecting the ministry, the ministry will not be able to withstand the opposition.  But when we focus on protecting relationship, the ministry will stand.

He is pleased with where we are in the process.

• "Blow back" is a term that originated in the CIA in the 50s.  It is defined as "unintended consequences of a covert operation that are suffered by the aggressor."  I feel that we are to understand that WE  are the aggressors, not the enemy.  We are on the offensive.  We have the upper hand as we move forward and take the ground He is giving us.

White Water Rapids by Vicki Blair

I see a river flowing with white water rapids.  And the reason there are rapids is because under the water are rocks and boulders.  And the rocks and boulders have names like - Self-importance, Independence, Doubt, Unbelief . . . all of the hindrances to a move of God.  But the water is wearing down the rocks as it flows.  And the stream is propelled with a lot of power and momentum.

And the Lord says - it is your worship and intercession that are propelling the river and removing the roadblocks.  Keep pressing in.  Keep worshiping and dancing in My presence.

And I see a large cement wall and people are lined up against it, pushing the wall back.  And behind them a wind begins to blow, adding to their strength and helping to push the wall back.

And God says - don't stop now.  Press even harder than you have so far.

And I hear a newly birthed baby cry.

Step Back & Take a Deep Breath by Vivki Blair

I see golden sparkling droplets falling down like rain.  And I hear God say - I am pleased with you.  I am pleased with your obedience.  I am  pleased with your pursuit of My presence and My purpose for your region.

And now - step back and take a deep breath.  Step back and watch what I will do next.  It is true that My timing is not your timing.  But they are beginning to align at this time.

And I see a party and a celebration.  And I see people dancing and jumping and shouting.  And I see Father God so pleased and full of joy, that He reaches His arms around the whole crowd of people who are celebrating and pulls them close into a big loving embrace.

And He says - well done My sons and My daughters.  Well done.

Oh Captain, My Captain by Vicki Blair

I see a person wading deeper and deeper into a pool of water.  And they have no fear of the depths and are thinking to themselves - I don't care if I walk until the water is over my head and I'm unable to breathe.  I have outgrown the kiddie pool now and am ready to go where I have feared to go in the past.  And I see them throw off their floaties and toss aside their pool toys and rafts and continue to walk deeper and deeper into the water.

And God says - where I am taking you, you can no longer hold onto the things that brought you security and comfort.  You must let go of all safeguards and those things that kept you afloat in the past.  They are all hindrances to what I will do in you next.  Are you completely sold out?  Does your title and affiliation mean more to you than My Kingdom?  For I am calling forth the daring ones and only the courageous and wild at heart will advance.  Only those with a die hard love for Me and what I plan to do will move to the front and be used as I desire to use them.

I see the scene from Dead Poet's Society (movie) - where the students stand on their desks and proclaim - "Oh Captain, my Captain".  In that moment, what they stood for meant more than losing everything.

And I see a soldier who is decorated with pins and patches and they begin to rip them off and then stand there without any left on their uniform.  And I hear God say - I have seen your efforts in the past and all that you have sacrificed to carry out My purposes in the previous season of your journey.  But now I will require you to lay it all down - not holding claim to any of your previous accomplishments thus far.  The only title or certification or medal that you will wear is a burning flame in your heart for Me.

A Little R&R by Vicki Blair

I see a shovel digging into hard soil and cracking the surface.  And I hear "groundbreaking".  And God says - this groundbreaking will have far reaching effects and will even create an earthquake.

And I see the dawn of a new culture in this region.  Get ready for a little R&R.  And by R&R, I mean revival & reformation.  True reformation cannot come without first having revival - an awakening of My people to their first love and a stirring of passion and excitement to see My Kingdom come - to see My glory invade a region.

And I see a group of people running to the crowds of people standing around and yelling with their hands thrown up in the air - Wake up!!  Wake up!!  And they sit down in frustration because the people are not moved.

But God says - you tried to do it in your own strength and power.  But now I will quicken you and I will release you to walk in a greater realm of glory and it will be by My Spirit that you will persuade those who are reluctant to join the ranks of those who will usher in the coming move of My Spirit.  Hang on just a little longer.  Continue to press in.  Continue to believe that I will do what I have promised to do.

And I hear a clock ticking and I hear - the appointed time is upon you.

Rumbling Under the Surface – 1/15/16 by Vicki Blair

(Released at the Tri-County Prophetic Roundtable in Tulare, CA)

I see the land here in the Valley (Central Valley of CA) - the flat areas and the rolling hills.  And there is a rumbling under the surface and there's a rolling action in the ground like a pregnant woman's belly when the baby has grown and is kicking in the womb.

And God says - the ground can no longer hold what is rumbling to be released.  The pressure has built to a level that it cannot be contained.

And I see intercessors walking the ground and their hands are raised to heaven and they're making declarations and claiming the ground for the Kingdom of God.  And I see warfare in the heavens and I hear a clashing of swords and God says - it is finished.  And now I will release what I have promised to release.  And hell with not prevail.

And you who have been chasers of My glory will chase no more.  You will now be releasers of My glory.  And some have looked at you with disdain and judged you for your zeal that appeared to be an oddity.  But it was never an oddity to Me.  You have been treasured by Me and I have held you close to My heart.  And I have whispered My secrets in your hearing and you will now rejoice to see what I have promised come to fulfillment.

Gathering of the Hungry Ones by Vicki Blair

I see a great arm moving across a wide area and sweep many people into one space.  And God says - I'm bringing them in.

And I see that some of the people are not as  willing to be swept along with the others and they fall down during the moving process.  And God says - I'm moving quickly and those that are determined to see with natural eyes and try to analyze and wait for confirmation will miss this grand gathering of My hungry ones.  It requires a leap of faith and a heart of radical obedience.  So, lay aside all fear and procrastination.

I see people who are holding luggage and waiting for this sign and that sign to confirm the route to the destination.  But, God says - throw it all down and run with Me!

Seeds of Revival by Vicki Blair

I see a woman with a basket picking up seeds off of the ground and putting them in a basket.  And I hear - "seeds of revival".  In many places the seeds of revival were planted and the right people were in place, the location was precise and there was a visitation of My glory.  But because of error, disobedience or choice, the seeds were never fertilized and did not germinate.  So they were gathered up for another time and season.

And I see people who are bright and shining on the inside.  And I hear - these are the carriers of the seeds of revival.  Nothing is wasted.  The tears and prayers and declarations of a previous season will be carried and multiplied in the coming seasons.

And I hear God say - I have carefully protected and hidden my "carriers."  I have nurtured them and prepared them to be releasers and to proclaim what is to come.

Two Rivers by Vicki Blair

I see two rivers running side by side.  And I see that one is clear and the other is muddy. And they merge and the clear river becomes muddy.

And God says - Stay the course I have set for you. Keep the purity of the foundation of this movement at the center of all activity.  Guard diligently against attempts of the enemy to throw a wrench into the gears and cause what is advancing forward to stop or be delayed.

I have covered you with My hand.  I have sent angels on assignment.  Your part is to worship Me, praise Me for the victory and press through in prayer declaring destruction on every plan of the enemy to pollute the river of glory that has begun to flow and will continue to advance in your region.

New Wine by Vicki Blair

I see a great press like one that might press grapes. And I see a lot of pressure and steam being produced. And God says - this is a season of pressing. And it's also a time of rejoicing because I have found you worthy to withstand the breaking and sorrow that is required to form a people that will be those that would release a new wine in this region.

So allow the heat that you are feeling to form you and squeeze you. Don't jump out of the press - but press into Me. You will hear My voice leading you in the direction that I'm calling you to go and you will feel My hand hold you and guide you forward.

And the result will be a beautiful sight to Me - an army of advancers who will walk in freedom and glorious brokenness. And out of them will run a flow of sweet red wine that will form a river and a movement that will shake the ground like an earthquake.

Suffering & Joy by Vicki Blair

I see rain falling on the rolling waves of an ocean.  And I hear thunder and I see lightning.  And I hear God say - don't look at the waves.  Look up at the rain.  And I see suffering and great joy, both being experienced at the same time.

And I see a shirt being ironed on an ironing board and the iron is very hot and steam is shooting out the sides.  And I hear God say - Iron out your differences.  My love has great power to remove every offense and every wrinkle.  By keeping your eyes on Me and allowing Me to apply heat to your life and your circumstances, I will be exalted.  If you will determine in your hearts to go very low and move forward with a lowly heart and humble submission, you will give Me room to move in every situation.

And I see a great, old locomotive moving slowly and powerfully down the track.  And God says - you're right on time!  What I plan is moving forward with great force and nothing will hinder this.  The only question is - will you continue to remain in My plan?  The further along it moves, the more will be required of you.

Stay in the "bubble" of My glory and Presence that surrounds you.  Stay in Me.  React in love.  And from this place will I use you.
