"The Issues of Windows and Branches in Our Generational Line"



What are Spiritual Windows and Branches, and What Do They Have to Do With Me?
In January 2015, I woke up on my birthday and remembered a dream in which I was looking at an open window to my left, and wondering why it was open. Through the screen, I could see a tree branch rapidly growing and branching out. I looked outside to my right and saw another branch growing.
Less than a month later, I had another dream. Looking through two windows in a warehouse, I could see two cabins, and realized I had rented the cabin on the left. I went to the cabin and met a caretaker who said I was to check out at 6:00 AM. I thought, "What a stupid time to check out!" I realized it was now 9:00 AM. The caretaker said, "Since you are late you owe one thousand times for each minute you were late."
I was stunned. Even after all these years of generational prayer, evidently I had not recognized something that was profoundly affecting me, to the extent that the enemy still had a right to exact a huge penalty against me. I needed to address the issues of windows and branches.
The Lord has been showing us that there are not only gates and doors in the heavenly places, but also windows. A familiar passage in Malachi 3:10-11 teaches us about these windows:
"'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, 'if I will not open for you the windows of Heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.
"'And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,' says the LORD of hosts."
In my dream, I realized that the open windows should not have been open, and it seemed to be tied to my generational line. The mother's side seemed to be on the left, and the father's on the right. Isaiah 24:18 and Joel 2:9 speak of open windows that result in severe problems: "And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken..." "They run to and fro in the city, they run on the wall; they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief." (Photo via Pixabay)
It seems we have often looked at Malachi 3:10-11 only in the context of tithing, but not in the larger context of the chapter, which lists many sins that can have generational impact.
In the first dream, I realized that ungodly windows were still open above me, not only because of my sin but also because of my generational iniquity. The second dream indicated that the enemy, the caretaker, was exacting a severe financial penalty because of these open windows. I also realized that instead of renting that house, I should be the owner.
But there were other truths to be discovered in the dream as well. What was the brilliant white branch that I saw growing so rapidly, and branching out? Although Joel 1:7 indicates a branch that was stripped and made white, it seemed to me that the branch I saw was a righteous branch that was not correctly connected. Jesus said He is the vine and we are the branches, and in the Old Testament, Jesus is referred to as the Branch (see Zechariah 3:8; Isaiah 11:1).
It seems that because of generational and lifetime sin, we are not correctly connected as a branch to "The Branch," Jesus. Ungodly branches have been connected to us, which need to be destroyed so we can be rightly connected to Jesus, the True Branch. It appears that these branches connect us through the heavenly windows to the gates and the doors in the heavenly places.
How Do we Experience the Power and the Blessings of Open Heavenly Windows?
On June 9, 2015, Chuck Pierce had this prophecy:
"As you are praising, arise out of the depth of your hearts. My windows are opening up even now in a greater way than you've ever experienced. So prepare your house for the multiplication of people, the multiplication of resources, the multiplication of success, the multiplication of My presence. For I have glorious benefits that you know not of. Prepare yourself for the glorious benefits that I will be sending your way!
"Port cities, prepare yourselves! For even now I will re-arrange the trade structures that are being brought in. I will re-arrange the way you are doing things, and I will bring some new ships in. There will be an uncovering of what is being brought into this nation. I am re-aligning the trade routes. Watch the hurricanes this year as they form. For as the hurricanes are now beginning to form in Heaven during this 'whirlwind' year, you will now see the movement of these hurricanes come into earth by August. And you'll see a movement and new routes and alignments begin to form." (Read this prophecy in its entirety on The Elijah List.)
I was stunned by Chuck Pierce's word. In October 2014, we were in Kaneohe, Hawaii, as Hurricane Ana moved toward Hawaii, and we were preparing for the landfall of the storm. During the week before the expected arrival of the storm, the Lord revealed the golden pipes and the whirlwind through discernment (see Zechariah 4). The following weekend Ana (which means grace) turned slightly away from the Islands, and Oahu was blessed with gentle rainfall but no hurricane-force winds. We learned a powerful lesson: when we are in His Eye and surrounded by the righteous whirlwind, we are protected by His grace. We also moved into a new understanding of His power. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
Exactly nine months to the day, in July 2015, remnants of another hurricane brought historic rains to Southern California. Torrential rains fell in the High Desert where we live. What was conceived in Hawaii was birthed in Southern California. The desperately needed blessing of rain in drought-stricken Southern California had fallen! I believe this is an indication that revival has come to the Pacific Coast.
Those nine months indicate that when we understand the windows and branches, we are linked to His blessings, grace, and power. So, how do we move from where we have been to a new place of experiencing the power and the blessings of open heavenly windows?
My dream was a road map. I needed to pray and ask the Lord to reverse some issues in my generational line and myself so that the righteous windows of Heaven could be opened, and so that I could be correctly connected by the righteous branches to The Branch, who is Jesus, and to the heavenly places.
As we discussed these concepts with many people, the Lord gave us a prayer. As you pray, it is my prayer that you will experience His power and the blessings of Heaven!
Prayer to Renounce the Illegal Access of the Windows of Heaven
Lord, remove any ungodly branches and totally graft me into You as a branch in Your vine. I declare You are the true vine and I am a branch of You. Please remove all ungodly branches and burn them. I repent for establishing and nurturing these ungodly branches, and for not acknowledging You as My true vine and myself as a branch on Your vine. I submit this prayer on behalf of my family line as well as myself.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask You to forgive us for illegally accessing the windows of Heaven for the purpose of personal financial gain. I repent for and renounce opening any heavenly windows through occult practice, idolatry, divination, witchcraft, covenant breaking, ungodly trading, the exploitation of others, and false religions. I also repent for closing windows that should not be closed. Please close every window, gate, and door that we opened illegally, and open every window, gate, and door that should not have been closed.
Lord, please take me back to the womb of the dawn and recreate my DNA and RNA so that any influence of the fallen sons of God in my DNA and RNA is totally removed. (Photo via Freeimages)
Lord, please remove all ungodly roots and branches.
Lord, I repent for not aligning to Your times and seasons to open and close windows. I repent for building my own times in reference to the windows. I repent for interrupting the flow of God's times. I repent for extending times when they should not be extended.
I repent for defiling and making the windows dirty. Please clean the windows in the generational line, and cleanse me now, Father, by the Blood of Your Son, and set me free from the consequences of opening heavenly windows by illegal means. Lord, You stated in John 14:6 that You are the way, the truth, and the life and that no one can access the heavenly realms except through You. Please close every window, every door, and every gate that was opened illegally, and restore us to Your plumb line. From this day forward, I will enter the windows of Heaven only though You, as Your Spirit leads.
Lord, take the ax to the ungodly root in the ungodly womb of the dawn and destroy all ungodly roots and branches. Rightly connect me to Your roots, branches, and vine so that I can function as a godly branch in the order of Melchizedek. Please give me a new heart.
I repent for any ungodly way in which we accessed windows. Please apply the scarlet thread, the hyssop, and the cedar to all ungodly covenants that opened windows that should not be opened. I repent for all ungodly covenants that affected any land area. Please disconnect us from those land areas.
Please break all ungodly ties to time, and to the windows of time and times. I repent for ungodly access to time and times and half of time, and ask You to apply Your Blood to all markers in time. Please restore godly boundaries between space and time, and close all ungodly windows and doors between time and space. I repent for any way that we accessed time through space or space through time.
I repent for making all ungodly calendars based on the cycles of time and for changing times and seasons, and declare that all my days are written in Your book. Lord, please remove the abomination of desolation off of my family line, and remove all generational pages of the enemy that have been inserted into my book.
I repent for those who did not understand that the tithe was to go to Melchizedek, to Jesus, our High Priest. I repent for giving according to my own desires or due to the pressure of others, rather than asking Melchizedek, Jesus, our High Priest where I am to give my tithe. (Photo via Pixabay)
As I am conceived in the womb of the dawn, do not allow any parts of me to be influenced by the fallen sons of God, or any other fallen spiritual beings. Please do not allow any animal, plant, fish, or spiritual DNA and RNA to be weaved into my DNA and RNA. Please remove any unholy sequencing in my DNA and RNA placed there by the fallen sons of God. In the womb of the dawn, please correctly sequence the ACGT coding of my original design in the conception replication of all my DNA and RNA.
At my birth from the womb of the dawn, do not allow me to be scattered, but establish the righteous pillars of wisdom. Please do not allow any parts of me to be scattered in the unholy height, depth, length and width, or in all unholy dimensions and kingdoms.
I repent for those in my family and tribe who, by majority, made agreements with the enemy that ended up entrapping me even though it was not my desire.
At conception, please establish the correct lightning strikes to fuse my spirit to my soul and body. Please breathe into me so I am a living soul according to Your original desire and not according to the plans of the enemy.
Lord, as my spirit is moving from Your throne, please guide me so that I go to the holy height, depth, length, and width; and prohibit any effort of the enemy to capture me and place me or any parts of me in the unholy depth, length, width, and height. I lay claim to all repentance and renunciations that I have prayed, that the enemy may not be allowed to capture me.
Lord, please remove all unholy subscripts from my generational line that allowed unholy authorities to carry curses down my generational line. Please disconnect me from the ungodly library, ungodly scrolls, the ungodly librarian, and all ungodly knowledge.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I repent for nurturing humanistic mindsets. I repent for placing the standards of man at a higher priority than Your truth.
I repent for times I allowed personal decisions to override Your leadership and truth. Lord, I ask that You now disassemble and clean off all false and ungodly branches.
Please clean all godly branches, close all windows that should be closed, and do the same for all gates and doors.
Please remove all influence from Chronos time, and bring me into Your full Kairos time.
Please burn and destroy all that You are cleaning off.
Lord, I ask You now to release Your power.

"Time For Son Rise! The Big Reveal"



At the beginning of March, I had an encounter in which I found myself hovering over an expansive, green landscape at the start of daybreak. Despite the lack of light in the vision, I could still see clearly that much of the land varied in its fertility. Some of the areas were green, lush, and budding with life while others appeared to be less nourished with less evidence of life.
As I gazed more intently into the vision, it quickly became clear that these places all had something in common. My attention was drawn to the plant life that existed in each area and I could see that it all stretched toward the horizon where I knew the sun would soon be coming up. Every place in this vision was longing for sunrise, and I then began to feel this intense longing too. (Photo via Freeimages)
Next, I started to hear a low and deep groaning coming from the ground beneath me and heard a Scripture spoken through my spirit: "The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed" (Romans 8:19 NIV).
Suddenly, I was aware of the Lord right beside me and could see that He was completely charged with intense delight. His gaze was fixed intently toward the horizon too, and the entire vision was soon charged with even greater anticipation.
As this was happening, I could hear a song playing through my spirit, one that I had heard a number of times before. It was the very well-known song by the Beatles "Here Comes The Sun," but this time, as with other times, the words had been changed to: "Here come the sons."
The Lord then smiled at me and spoke; His excitement was instantly contagious: "IT'S TIME FOR SON RISE!"
As He spoke, I could feel the dawn submit to His voice and watched as the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and its light spread like water flooding the land. Now seeing from a new elevation, I saw that what I had initially perceived to be an open plain or landscape was, in fact, an incredible world-map where every nation on earth was visible.
Can a Nation Be Born In a Day?
The Lord looked over again, smiled, and asked a question: "Can a nation be born in day, Daryl?"
I smiled back, knowing that He was referring to what is written in the Book of Isaiah: "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?..." (Isaiah 66:8 NKJV).
I continued to watch as the flooding light spread across the landscape below and then quickly transformed into a magnificent multitude of people sprinting. The light now appeared more like liquid fire, and within the light I could see a full spectrum of colours; and, in addition, I could now actually hear it audibly, too.
When the light-bearers came together, the sound from their light became like that of a massive torrent or waterfall of water, or even like a lion's roar. It reminded me of what must have been heard by the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation when he spoke about the sound of many rushing waters. The multitude began to stream faster and faster into the nations just like arrows of light shot out to reach their target. I watched as each one, in turn, planted into different nations and remained until each particular place had been saturated by the fiery light. (Photo via Pixabay)
I now knew that what I had seen at the start of the vision was, in fact, the spiritual condition of each nation and could see fertility and new life burst forth following their exposure to this beautiful light. I knew, too, that this was a vision of the spiritual restoration of the nations and that a global awakening had come – Isaiah's prophecy fulfilled.
The BIG REVEAL
In a flash, I saw the title and cover of the "Rising of the New Dawn," the album released by Australian prophet Isi de Gersigny in 2010.
I then heard the Lord speak again and say, "Yes, Daryl, this is the rising of the new dawn, and now the season of singing is here."
Suddenly I found myself in another place, a heavenly auditorium, where I saw the Lord standing on a platform with a curtain behind Him. I immediately knew that we were about to witness something spectacular! I looked up and saw the words, "THE BIG REVEAL" superimposed over the top of the stage and realised that the whole place was filled with people of all ages, and many angels were standing and sitting on the rafters above.(Photo via Pixabay)
Instantly, I felt an insatiable hunger to know the name of what we were about to watch. The curtain on the stage opened and I immediately saw the exact same vision I had at the start of the encounter presented on an incredibly crystal-clear screen on the stage. The image was again dark, as with the vision, and I could make out that creation again was waiting for the sunrise.
The atmosphere inside the heavenly auditorium was absolutely electric, and suddenly the light broke through as before and the scene began to unfold; but this time it was accompanied by a much clearer sound. I could hear the groans of creation as before, but now, in addition to this, there was singing erupting from wherever the light liberated, nourished, and brought forth life. It was truly one of the most beautiful sounds and scenes that I've ever witnessed.
I could see that each nation, when flooded with light, would burst forth with its own song and then these songs would start to harmonise with the other songs being released. This was the most exquisite sound, like that of many violins playing angelic choruses and water rushing all at the same time.
I then felt and heard the people within the auditorium becoming even more excited as if they had been waiting for the best part of a show. The person sitting next to me, who I knew to be one of the Cloud of Witnesses, leaned over to me as I thought this and said, "This is the best part." He smiled, and then suddenly the entire picture on the screen broke through into the auditorium releasing light and colour and the most exquisite song I have ever heard. It was like that of a thousand songs all being sung as one, in perfect harmony. I suddenly exclaimed through my tears, as loud as I could,"THE NATIONS ARE SINGING!" (Photo by Lillis Boyer "Waterdance: Explosion of Glory" via elijahshopper.com)
The entire auditorium was filled with light, sound, and colour, which I could see, feel, and sense throughout my whole body. All were in absolute awe, and I found myself needing once again, desperately, to know the name of what I was watching. Suddenly, I had a simultaneous vision of what appeared to be the outside frontage of the auditorium and then a ticket from a box office. Both had same name: "CREATION SINGS."
Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Psalm 96:1 NLT
I believe that we are in the dawning of a new day, that the sons of God are being revealed, and that their rising will bring healing, transformation, and liberation to the nations. I believe too that this new dawn marks the tipping point for the most magnificent end time move the Earth will have ever seen.
Creation waits!
GET READY TO RISE!

"The Synergy of the Generations"

                                                  
      James W. Goll, Franklin, TN



If the Church hopes to be relevant and meet the needs of the twenty-first century and beyond, it must be willing to undergo a paradigm shift. The Elijah to Elisha Revolution confronts the status quo by challenging the Church to reexamine many of its assumptions. One of these assumptions is what could be called the "quick escape mentality."
For over a century many Believers have been taught that the end-times are near and to expect Christ to take His Church at any moment. This teaching has been especially prevalent in parts of the evangelical and Pentecostal branches of the Church. Whether or not this interpretation of prophecy is accurate is not my primary point. What is important is the influence it has had on the mind-set of the Church.
One positive result of the "rapture mentality" is that it has created in many Christians a sense of urgency with regard to evangelism and missions. If Christ could return "any day," then there is no time to lose in telling others about Jesus. On the other hand, this same mentality can have the unfortunate consequence of discouraging long-term planning. If everything is about to come to an end anyway, why focus on the future?
In my early years I was plagued by this short-term mind-set that emerged out of the Jesus People Movement. Zeal was abounding and the Holy Spirit was moving across the university I was attending. I became a Jesus Person and lived with other young men in a Jesus House. He thought he knew that Jesus was returning any moment to come and get His people out of this messy world.
A couple of the other young leaders planted a small rosebud tree in the front yard of the Jesus House. When I saw the newly planted tree I became disturbed and stated, "What are you doing spending money to plant that tree? Don't you know that Jesus will return long before that tree ever grows into maturity!" (Photo via Wikimedia)
Time passed; the tree grew. It became a beautiful flowering and haunting reminder to me that maybe God had a long-timer's mind-set for the fullness of His purposes to come to pass. Time has changed. Today I think "generationally."
Thinking Generationally
The modern Church must rediscover the mind-set of thinking generationally. For too long too many members of the Body of Christ have considered themselves part of a "terminal generation". It is time to change that way of thinking. Each generation of Christians needs to see itself as a bridge generation that builds on the past, lives in the present, and plans for the future. It is important to live each day as if Christ is coming back today, yet plan for tomorrow as if He will not return for years
Part of the mind-set of a bridge generation is recognizing and taking seriously the responsibility of passing on to the next generation a solid legacy of faith and godly values. Just how important is this "generational transfer"? Long ago someone observed that the Church is never more than one generation away from paganism. All it takes to lose everything is for one generation to fail in transferring its beliefs and principles to the next.
One of the most critical needs of the Church today is to renew its commitment to "generational transfer": passing on to the next generation not just principles, theology, and doctrinal beliefs, but also passionate heart affection. Each generation must learn to love God for themselves, and it is the responsibility of the preceding generation to teach them by modeling that love.It is a fundamental principle known as mentoring—spiritual fathering and mothering.
Spiritual Mentoring
Generational transfer does not happen overnight. There are no shortcuts, no pat formulas, or "25-words-or-less" summary statements for imparting faith and values. Success comes only with commitment, discipline, diligence, and patience. These qualities are fast becoming quaint notions of the past in today's fast-paced "microwave" society of instant gratification and ten-second sound bites.
This same attitude has become quite common throughout much of the Body of Christ. In truth, the fast burn of revival and the slow burn of spiritual mentoring are both critical to God's strategy for reaching the nations. Revival releases faith and changes individual lives while spiritual mentoring transforms culture.(Photo via Pixabay)
The fire of God that fell on Mount Carmel was the fast burn of revival. It released faith in the hearts of the Israelites that God was greater than Baal, but it did not turn the nation. Ahab and Jezebel still remained in power. At the same time, a switch began to occur. The Mount Carmel revival also ignited a slow-burning flame that stirred an underground movement of spiritual revolution that climaxed many years later in cultural transformation.
Elijah set the stage by his faithfulness as a spiritual father, but it is the next generation under Elisha and Jehu that destroys Jezebel, who represents the domination of culture by the powers of darkness, and brings transformation to the land.
A Synergy of Generations
Synergy is defined as the condition where distinct groups work together in a cooperative arrangement in such a way that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. In other words, the group accomplishes more working together than the individual members could achieve working independently.
One of the things that the Elijah to Elishas Revolution represents is God's desire to link multiple generations into a synergistic relationship once again. Three generations moving together toward a shared goal can accomplish more than the sum of what each generation could achieve separately. This synergy of the generations is something that God promised He would bring about in the last days. I have often referred to this as the "convergence of the ages."
A "convergence of the ages" will come upon us. The falling of Pentecostal fire, healing and deliverance crusades, the latter rain presence, the evangelical burden for the lost, the charismatic giftings, the zeal of the Jesus people movement, the credibility of the third wave, the revelation of the prophetic movement, and the relational networking of the apostolic reformation—all will swell into a tidal wave greater than the impact of the Reformation five hundred years ago and create what could be called the Transformation Generation.
Before Christ returns, God will release an explosion of His Holy Spirit that will shatter paradigms in people's minds and cause the whole Church to begin thinking generationally rather than selfishly. A whole generation will begin to give themselves to their "Elishas," to raise up "double portion" sons and daughters who will dominate their culture in the power of the Holy Spirit.
When God describes Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He is not just identifying Himself by name; He is describing His very being and how His purposes proceed throughout history. God told Abraham that his children would be as the stars in the sky or the sand on the seashore, yet Abraham had only one son of promise: Isaac. Isaac passed the promise on to his son, Jacob, who passed it on to his 12 sons, one of whom was Joseph, who rose to prominence in Egypt. After a small beginning, in the fourth generation one appeared who ruled an entire nation. All of Jacob's sons were fruitful, their descendants multiplying across many generations to become the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel.
What Vision Are You Running With?
The Father's great desire is to fill the earth with mature spiritual offspring. This will happen not through a crash course in holiness, but through one generation patiently and faithfully passing on to the next not just information and knowledge, but wisdom, passion, integrity, faith, heart affection, and vision.
Each generation must learn to honor those who have gone before, the "pioneers" of the Church who have followed their vision and forged a path for their descendants to walk. Many spiritual parents and grandparents are alive today who ache inside because they have not yet seen the fullness of what God spoke to them 20, 30, or even 50 or more years ago. They long to see their vision fulfilled in their children.
Right before moving from Kansas City, Missouri, to Nashville, Tennessee, I was given a striking dream. In it I saw a scrapbook with the year 1988 written on the outside of it. This was a year of much prophetic activity in the Body of Christ and a time of fresh new beginnings.
As I opened up the scrapbook in the dream, I read prayers and statements of commitments people had made in 1988. Then, to his surprise, when he turned to the fourth page, I found my own handwriting (and could read it!) where it had the following piercing vow.
"I, Jim Goll, vow to be the unique vessel God created me to be and I vow to do 'all that He created me for.'" Then it continued, "And I vow to help others be the unique vessels God has created them to be and to help them be all they can be in God!" Then I could read my own signature as though written in blood! (Photo via Wikipedia)
Yes, God wants us to be secure, unique and multiple! He wants to be fruitful.
Where are the Spiritual Fathers and Mothers?
The need of the hour is great. Where are the spiritual fathers and mothers who will pray in the spirit of Elijah, "God, give me a spiritual son or daughter"? Where are the "elders" who will bless those children with their time, knowledge, and every good thing that God has given them? Where are the mentors who will share their life with those children, knowing that generational transfer is about life impartation and not just information?
Where will the sons and daughters find spiritual parents who will dream with them and for them, help them tap into their God-given passions and destiny, encourage them and intercede for them? I am a survivor of many trials and I have learned many lessons. I have seen many movements rise and fall in my own life I want to pass these wisdom lessons on to the generations after me. That is my dream!
Responsibility fosters maturity while maturity leads to greater responsibility. The Elijah to Elisha Revolution calls for a joining of the generations. It means imparting blessing by a spoken word or a meaningful touch, by giving them a high appraisal of their value, by helping them envision their future in the family of God. It means helping with practical steps, providing necessary resources, and releasing authority to them to accomplish their God-given commission.
Who will rise to the challenge? Who will cry out to the Lord, "I will help take up the fatherless generation! God, give me a spiritual son or daughter!"? Will you?
May My Ceiling Become Your Floor!

"The Fullness of a New Season and a New Level of Apostolic Grace"


My Dream: A New Level of Apostolic Grace
When I tune into the news, I have never been more concerned about where we are as a nation. When I tune into the Holy Spirit, however, I have never been more encouraged! In fact, I am more hopeful for righteous change today than I have been in the past 25 years! This past November, the Lord gave me one of the most vivid dreams I've ever received. Based on what Holy Spirit spoke to me, I am thoroughly convinced that we are now crossing over into the fullness of a new season.
In this dream, I was speaking to an apostolic friend when I began to hear and repeat to him a word from the Lord. In a very slow and calculated manner, making sure to speak precisely what I was hearing the Lord say, I spoke these words:
"There is a new level of apostolic grace being distributed that will take the gifting to a new measure spiritually and physically."
Both in the dream and upon waking, my attention was especially drawn to the last two words of this statement, "...and physically."
I believe the Lord is saying through this dream, that we are about to see the Kingdom of God come to earth in a more tangible way. The Church is about to see a physical manifestation of that which we have warred for in the spirit, and a fulfillment of things promised in times past. And we'll see results from our prayers much more quickly; rather than believing change will result in the future, we will see quick, tangible evidence of transformation. More than just believing for souls to be saved, we will experience multitudes coming to Christ. Spiritual gifts will not only be asked for, but we will see signs, wonders and miracles as a manifestation of the gifts. (Photo of Dutch Sheets with Chuck Pierce)
This new level of apostolic grace will translate apostolic authority into apostolic power and action Kingdom works that will bring real, physical, literal change in the earth. Acts 4:33 speaks of an abundant grace that was upon the early apostles as they witnessed of Jesus, and great signs, wonders and power were being released through them.
There is also a window of divine grace being offered to the apostolic Church today—the greatest window of opportunity we have seen in our lifetimes—for extending Kingdom authority and life into the earth. We are coming into a full release of divine strategies and the power necessary for a thriving implementation of those heavenly blueprints.
Many leaders in the Church think we have been walking in the fullness of our anointing and what our spiritual calling represents. I believe, however, that we have actually been primarily in preparation for this fullness.
The past several years were a season in which the Lord was refining our gifts and preparing us for this new dimension of grace. He has worked in our hearts, released much revelation, and created many important connections.He is now inviting us to step into the fullness of what this preparation was meant to produce. What He's been working in us, He now wants to release through us.
The Window of Opportunity
When God says He is releasing grace, it is important to understand that grace does not mean only undeserved favor. Grace is also the release of supernatural ability, an ability to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask, think or imagine (see Ephesians 3:20).
In 2 Corinthians 9:8, the Apostle Paul says, "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed." This is the kind of grace the Lord is releasing over us in this season! A grace that produces "all sufficiency"; an abundance!
As we move into this season, the next six months are very significant, so much so that the decisions we make will in some ways define the rest of our lives. In this kairos season, it is important that we position ourselves rightly for this outpouring of grace, seeking God very diligently. If we do so, there will be a remantling, redefining and revitalizing, propelling us into our future.
We stand at a hinge of history!
The window of opportunity is open, and there is an abounding grace available. The Lord is inviting us to come into agreement with this decree He is releasing. For those who do, there will be evidence of His power in ways we've never experienced. Believe it, tap into it, and join the apostolic company God is raising up throughout the earth!

Out of Hiding

file3381330218650
By Christina Garcia on Feburary 10, 2015

The Lord showed me a vision of many people around the 
world crying out in a dark well (hole). All week God 
continued to speak to me through the message of Joseph 
and all the affliction he went through.
Joseph’s betrayal by his brothers made him a slave.
Genesis 37:5 ; 11
One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his
brothers it, they hated him more than ever. Joseph’s
brothers envied him and were jealous of him, but his
father observed the saying and pondered over it.
Are you feeling rejected and abandoned by those close 
to you?
Have you been disappointed by man?
Do you feel as your hidden in a dark place and God is 
far from you?
I want to encourage you today that God is closer than
ever!The power of rejection and abandonment makes us
believe so many lies. The goal is to make us feel
unwanted,invaluable,shamed, bitter, worthless, and more.
You might even entertain the lie that God has forgotten
about you and has no clue where you are. Lies, lies,and
more lies.
The Lord sees you and nothing is hidden from His 
sight.
Hebrews 4:13
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything
is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one
to whom we are accountable.
Jealousy and accusation are at work against God’s
chosen.Those close to you are not sharing enthusiasm
in all the Lord is bringing you to. Joseph went from a
dark empty well to slavery. I don’t know your situation
but God does and He says to remind you how much
you’re loved. The difficult experiences you’re going
through are only made to prepare you for your life’s
calling.
Nothing will be wasted during these seasons of your
life.  Every hardship is a tool for God to make you
stronger.  Many have spoken wrongly of you and the
only job you have is to forgive and move on.  Many
do not speak peaceably because of their own hurts
and envy.
James 3:16
For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention
(rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be
confusion (unrest, disharmony,rebellion) and all sorts
of evil and vile practices.
Sometimes if we don’t remove ourselves from this
atmosphere the Lord will.
We pray to be in God’s perfect will and it may not be
what we imagined but this is where we must place faith
in front of fear. Be it onto me father as it is done in your
word.
We cannot be jealous over the dreams God has planned
before the foundation of this world for each of us. No man
can change the promises and hand of God. Destiny over
your life triumphs all the works of darkness.  Remember
greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
It does not matter if you’re in prison, divorced, isolated,
slave, etc. God is still greater and bigger!
God is going to cause you to be FRUITFUL even in
your affliction.  What you have lost will be restored.
Remain FAITHFUL and wait on God to lift you up
due time.Joseph found favor with the warden when
he was sent to prison for being wrongly accused and
favor with Pharaoh. Don’t sleep with the enemy.
Run away from the temptation to sin during these
pressured times. There is no temptation that will be
difficult to bare because the Lord will always
give you a way of escape.
Genesis 41:40-41
You shall have charge over my house, and all my
people shall be governed according to your word
[with reverence, submission, and obedience].
Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than
you are. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,  See,
I have set you over all the land of Egypt.
Just as the Lord was with Joseph so He will be
there for you.The Lord will cause whatever you
do to prosper.
FORGIVENESS is key to unlock your destiny
Forgiveness will bring restoration and retaliation
will bring destruction.
We must forgive to be free and move forward into
all that God has set forth.It’s only by the power of
the Holy Spirit that we can choose to forgive.
He desires for us to learn to be faithful even in the
midst of betrayal. This spirit comes against us to
remove the favor of God.
God made him forget all his toil and hardship.
We are not to dwell and harp on a matter once we
have chosen to forgive and that includes
self-forgiveness.
Proverbs 17:9
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love,
but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates
even close friends.
If you were thrown into a well by your loved ones 
and sold into slavery what do you  think your 
response would be towards them? Ask the Holy
Spirit to show you what is in your heart now and
who you need to forgive to be free! The way
Joseph responded after reuniting with His brothers
brought me so much joy. Father let us have a
forgiving and good attitude as Joseph did.
Genesis 45:4-5
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to
me.”When they had done so, he said, “I am your
brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!
And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry
with yourselves for selling me here, because it was
to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
Let your gifts rise even when you’re in captivity even
when you don’t feel you’re best even if you feel lost
remain stand and be faithful with a good attitude.
The Lord says, YOU ARE COMING OUT OF 
HIDING.  Divine favorable connections are coming
fourth in places you least expect.  Strategized
connections and directions are manifesting. Your
inheritance will be restored.Your family
will be reconciled. There is a nation He has called you to
save for His Glory. A Mantle of favor is being released
from the heavens.  Favor and double portion coming to
you now. The Lord is maturing  patience, faith, endurance,
love,and long suffering. The Lord is positioning you now.
You are birthing a new beginning with a fresh start.
God will give you provision in your journey into the
new territory He is calling you upward to.  Never stop
dreaming no matter where you are. Your identity remains
secure and you are not your circumstance. You are
enough. The Lord remains perfect in your weakness.
Even  Jesus left this life with scars of the world and
so will you. Your Hope is abounding in Christ Jesus.
Let Go and let God.  The Lord is rerouting you now! 
Shine bright,

"The Call To Kingly Intercession"


Several weeks ago, upon seeing pictures of an Appeal to Heaven flag being waved over the plains of Nineveh—the location of the first known transforming revival—I was extremely excited. I quickly sent the picture to one of my friends whose immediate response was, "Our prayers have tapped into the root of awakening in the earth." For the past year, connecting my personal testimony with the profound history pertaining to our nation's founding, I have been rallying the Church to make "an Appeal to Heaven."
In the midst of dismal circumstances, countless Believers have responded to this call. Based on what the Holy Spirit spoke to my friend, I believe the appeals to Heaven have been heard and we are now moving into the next phase of this new era—a Third Great Awakening that will impact the world!
We must be mindful, however, that successfully stepping into a new season calls for inquiring of the Lord concerning what we must do differently. Change will be necessary in order to come into proper alignment with the season, preparing us for what He wants to release to us and through us in this kairos time. One of the things I hear the Lord saying is that in this new season, we must pray differently.
Keys For Kingly Intercession
Isaiah 22:22 and Matthew 16:18-19 are essential passages of Scriptures for shifting into this new aspect of prayer. Both mention "keys" as a way to illustrate the Believer's authority in the spirit realm. These keys are indispensable tools God is highlighting for igniting a prayer movement that will bring about a righteous turnaround in this nation.
"Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder,
When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open."
 Isaiah 22:22
"I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. "I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in Heaven." Matthew 16:18-19
Using our authority to open and close spiritual doors is an aspect of prayer I sometimes refer to as "kingly intercession." My understanding of this facet of prayer, which I will also call "governmental intercession," began with an unusual comment made to me by a prophet in the late 1980s and culminated with a statement the Lord made to me in 2002.
"God is going to bring the Church into the fresh age of the Melchizedek order, and you will be a part of initiating it," declared the prophet. I had no idea what this meant. Fast-forward approximately fifteen years to October 2002. I was praying for America, primarily concerning the judicial system, when I heard the Holy Spirit say, "You will fully shift the government of America when the prayer movement fully shifts from priestly intercession only, to kingly intercession as well."
Suddenly, I remembered what the prophet had said to me years ago. And, finally, I understood "the fresh age of the Melchizedek order." Grasping this revelation will expand our understanding of governmental or kingly intercession.
Understanding The Melchizedek Order
Melchizedek was first mentioned in Genesis 14, again in Psalm 110, and then once more in the book of Hebrews. He was a "type" or picture of Jesus in several ways, one of which was that he was both a king and a priest. At the time, this was unheard of. Zechariah 6:13, a messianic verse describing Christ, refers to Him in His King-Priest role, "...Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."
The function of a king was to rule, representing God's authority to people; the role of priests was to serve, representing the people to God. As our High Priest, Jesus represents our needs and desires to God. As the King, Christ represents and releases the rule, authority and will of God from Heaven to earth. His Kingly role is God-centered, while His Priestly responsibility is human-centered; one releases power and authority (king), the other love, mercy and grace (priest). The priestly role is petition or intercession-oriented; the kingly role is declarative, decreeing God's word and will.
As co-laborers, partners with and representatives of Jesus Christ, we have become extensions of His King-Priest role. Most Christians, though they may or may not think of it as priestly activity, realize that we are to offer up worship and prayer (petitions) from earth to Heaven. Almost none, however, have understanding or involvement in God's plan concerning our kingly representation of Christ (decrees). We are not only priests, we are a "royal (kingly) priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9), who have been given the keys of Kingdom authority in which to bind and loose, forbid and allow, close and open.
As Holy Spirit reemphasizes these prophetic words and Scriptures to me, I sense that He is calling His ekklesia to step fully into our responsibility for kingly intercession. The Lord is calling us to shift from merely petitioning the Father, to also making decrees (official orders, edicts or decisions), declarations (announcements or formal statements) and proclamations (the process of binding and loosing) as we are prophetically inspired by Holy Spirit to do so.
The power of God's decreed Word is extraordinary! It releases His creativity, His salvation, and yes, His judgments! He rules through His Words, and so must we. Consider these verses of Scripture:
"How forcible are right words!" Job 6:25
"You will also decree a thing and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways." Job 22:28
"Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant." Jeremiah 1:9-10
"So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army." Ezekiel 37:10
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21
The Time Is At Hand
Even as I have heard God's clarion call to wield the Isaiah 22:22 key in the governmental arena once again (which you may read about here), I sense that He is calling His ekklesia in America to pray with greater fervency and diligence concerning our national government, especially for the election in 2016.
With several Supreme Court Justices reaching expected retirement ages over the next decade, new nominations to the bench will be forthcoming. The next President, especially if re-elected for a second term, could have a crucial influence on the future of the Supreme Court (the President appoints the Supreme Court nominees). This will, in many ways, determine the future of our nation.
We must fill the bowls of intercession in advance for these choices (Revelation 8:3-5). The Lord is inviting us to take the keys He has made available to us and fully shift our national government. The American church must go beyond asking and petitioning the Lord only, to also decreeing and declaring His will and purposes into the earth. We must move from merely presenting our case before God as priests, to decreeing the rule of Christ into every situation and circumstance. It's time to wield the keys of Kingdom authority and shift into kingly intercession.
Our appeals to Heaven truly are being answered. But let's do even more. It's time to agree with and boldly voice Heaven's decrees in order to establish Heaven's government on earth. I am persuaded that we can turn the tide in America through effective governmental intercession. The Lord's will can be accomplished in our land, and righteousness can be restored to the White House, Congress, and the judicial system.
America, the time is now. God is bringing forth the fresh age of the Melchizedek order. Be a part of it!

"Unlocking Intimacy On the Threshing Floor"


An Old Dream Reawakened
Recently I've had several prophetic events referring to a vivid dream I had in the mid-1990s. I feel that God is about to release and restore some foundational truths revealed in this dream – truths that God has waited to unveil. The time for the revealing has come!
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2
As the dream begins, I'm driving with Bob Jones on the German autobahn. We're in a magnificent German automobile, driving at a very fast speed down a beautiful stretch of roadway. Bob and I are talking about past and pending moves of God. Bob then instructs me, saying, "When I tell you to, pull over to the side of the road and stop." I agreed. (Photo by Bubo bubo via Wikimedia Commons)
In a few moments, Bob said, "I think this is the place! Pull over!" I slowed the car and pulled to a stop off the shoulder of the road. As we got out of the car, we saw that the shoulder fell off into a ditch that was quite steep, beyond which was an exceptionally tight barbed wire fence, obviously meant to keep out intruders. Surveying the surroundings closely, Bob said excitedly, "Yes! Yes! This is the right place!"
He pointed out a small opening in the fence between the wires. Extremely thick brush had grown against the fence, but Bob pointed to a faint, unused path. It was encouraging to see Bob so excited and exceedingly happy that we had discovered the right place to gain entrance. It was difficult for us to walk down and back up the ditch to the fence, but we made it, and, with care, edged our way through the tightly woven barbed wire.
Once inside the fenced area, we began to make our way tediously up a hill through dense brush; the way was getting clearer and easier to travel with every step. I was eager to find out what our destination was, and I asked Bob, only to be told that he wasn't quite sure, but that we would surely find out when we arrived there!
Through the Double Doors
The hill became steeper as we walked, and after a difficult climb up the mountain path, we arrived at a massive old barn. The barn itself was a wonderful work of outstanding craftsmanship, a work of art, extremely old yet in pristine condition. The barn had two very large doors that were locked with what appeared to be a large, stainless steel chain and master lock. I was sad and disappointed that we had made such a difficult climb – only to be locked out of our discovery. (Photo by Dlong417 via Wikimedia Commons)
Bob beamed with a delightful smile, however, when I asked him if he knew the combination to the lock. Nodding his head as if to say, "You didn't even have to ask," he carefully began to turn the dial on the lock. I watched with great interest. He slowly turned the lock to the left five full turns, stopping at the number 3. Then he turned the dial to the right three full turns, stopping at the number 4, then back to the left, stopping at the number 1, then around to 6, then to 8, then back to the number 2.
At this point, the lock clicked. It opened. I said to Bob, "I knew you would have used 3-4-1, but I didn't know about 6-8-2!" Bob answered, confident, "It is the time of the double! When you double 341, you have 682." And then he repeated, "This is a season of the double. Expect a time of grace, grace!"
The House of Treasures
With great excitement and eager anticipation, Bob and I swung open the massive wooden doors! There was no need for electric lights because huge skylights flooded the barn with sunlight.
The first thing we saw was a beautiful, hand-carved pulpit lying on its side. It almost blocked the entrance to the building. Our first chore was to set the pulpit upright and in its proper place.
Filled with anticipation, we moved even deeper into the building. I was stunned to discover that the building was packed from bottom to top with the most beautiful old lumber I had ever seen. It was numbered, cataloged, and stored in the most orderly manner. This was not ordinary wood – the beams were massive. The wood grain was wonderful beyond words. No beam was out of place. This was the lumber to reconstruct the Church! Every piece of wood was strong, brilliant, and beautiful. (Photo via Pixabay)
I was truly amazed at the perfect order of the barn's contents – absent of all dust and cobwebs. Somehow I knew we were in a house of authentic treasures, and that God was going to use the prophetic in a powerful way to help rediscover and rebuild His lost treasures.
In this dream given so long ago, Bob said, "This is the time of restoration of the foundational function for the Church."
5775: Double Doors, Double Portion
Deep within my spirit I know this dream has great importance for us in 2015, especially in the days ahead. An authentic reformation and radical revolution is about to return to the Church!
It's interesting to consider some of the Hebraic meanings suggested within this dream, beginning with it being quickened to me once again at the beginning of 2015. On God's Hebrew calendar, this isn't 2015, but the year 5775, which began on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, on September 24, 2014.
As ancient Hebrew did not have numerals, but used the alphabet for its numbers (similar to the practice of ancient Rome, which used Roman numerals), it's curious to note that the numerals 5775 actually spell a Hebrew word, Tish'eh, which means to take heed, to notice, to gaze at. It can also be written Ha'tish'eh, which means Will you pay heed?
This year, we're being asked whether or not we will pay attention. To what?
Hebrew numbers are represented by letters – and the letters themselves form pictures, as most Bible students know. The 5775 forms a very distinct picture, letter by letter. Within the patterning and sequencing of the Hebrew letters, you will find an image of the Lord coming through double doors with a double portion, with His sword – His Word – warring over and nourishing His people.
How will we respond to this open double door opening with a double portion? Will we give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Church to rebuild and reform our foundational function?
Indeed, the third and fourth blood moons are fast approaching, once again on the two Jewish feast days of Passover and Sukkot, repeating the pattern of 2014. In 2014, the blood moons occurred on Passover and Sukkot; in 2015, the blood moons will occur once again on these same feast days, on April 4, 2015 (Passover) and September 28, 2015 (Sukkot). We have a "double portion" of two blood moons on two feast days. These same heavenly signs occurred in 1492, 1948, and 1967 – significant years in history. What significant event is upon us now?
A Double Portion of Intimacy
The Hebrew word translated "barn" can also be translated "threshing place." The threshing floor is indeed the place that is being opened to us now for this most significant season ahead. The threshing floor has been leveled and made smooth. It is a place where the wheat is separated from the chaff – the place where true treasures are discovered and stored. The threshing place is the treasured place where Ruth met her Boaz, where the Church meets her God – the place of profound intimacy. The threshing place is the place where the Beloved calls out to His Bride, "Grace, grace!" (Photo by Brian Snelson via Wikimedia Commons)
How do we open the lock to this place of intimacy? What is the combination? It is our love for our neighbor and our Beloved, who calls out to us, "Grace, grace," as we read in Song of Solomon 5:5:
"I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock."
The 341 combination to unlock this intimacy with the Beloved is the shama' to Israel, calling them to take heed, to listen, and to obey, the grace of Isaiah 34:1:
"Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it."
Double Blessings...To Be a Blessing
For many years, the number 341, the number to unlock the barn's lock in the dream, was significant to Bob Jones, given to him as a special sign from God beginning in 1980, and continuing throughout his lifetime as the Lord continued to guide him.
Bonnie Jones reports that eventually she and Bob came to understand that the number 341 represented six things spiritually: 1) healing, 2) a holy convocation, 3) asking, 4) petitioning, 5) teaching received from God, and 6) prosperity.
We are being invited to draw near to God on the threshing floor, to find Him as our treasure, and to be built together into His Church. The key to unlocking this place of meeting is found in responding to His call of grace. God's grace brings gifts of healing and prosperity, but it also calls for a holy convocation of every Believer, a sanctification and setting-apart of ourselves from this world (see 2 Corinthians 7:1 AMP).
We are being called to ask, seek, knock, and petition the Lord for wisdom and revelation directly from His throne (see James 1:5). He longs to speak to His Bride and pour out His manifest love and presence – so we will be prepared for the significant season ahead. (Photo via Pixabay)
