My Crisis of Spirit & How I know

I just listened to : https://youtu.be/JsUt1SWEaLc 

I do not know anything about what happened in the past because I wasn't there.  

I am trying to keep an open mind.  

What I do know is "my  own" experience. 

I know for sure there is a Spirit of good that talks to me and teaches me privitissimo. 

If I ask a question ~ I get an answer.  

Somehow I know / am aware of things before they happen in relationship to my family, friends and also sometimes the world. 

I know that I am connected to something greater than I am.  

I do not speak in tongues ~ I never have.  I hear and understand in English or just know without words.  

I believe if I choose ~ somehow I am connected to a higher power.  

I choose to call that power/ entity my Papa God.  

When I was about 44 ~ I had a crisis of Spirit and with my begging the universe for answers ~ I was taken back to my mother's womb and reborn.  

At that moment my DNA changed. Healing happened.  De Ja Vu experiences began.  

I began to see differently and have choices I never saw or understood before. 

As I said before ~ I know what His ~ Story and the Bible say and "my experience" of  my connection of who I am and who He / She is ~  "Trumph's all of it. 

I know I am connected to something much bigger and higher than I am or ever will be.

One more thing ~ 

for Christian's that do not understand or are not yet awake ~

what I just said ~ 

The way back to your mother's womb and further back to your original DNA ~ to the shores of heaven comes from the power in and of the Blood of Christ.  

It is your connection back to Papa God.  

Whether Jesus Christ was a real person or not ~  

Choose to step into the river of Papa God's consciousness through His Son's shed blood for you personally and it will take you / connect you back to your Papa God. 

That is where your transformation begins!

SOME THINGS HAVE TO GO IN ORDER TO MOVE IN THE NEW FLOW. THINGS NEED TO CHANGE TO MOVE IN THE NEW PAGE.

SOME THINGS HAVE TO GO IN ORDER TO MOVE IN THE NEW FLOW. THINGS NEED TO CHANGE TO MOVE IN THE NEW PAGE.

Lana Vawser

April 22 at 10:28 PM · 

The Lord has been speaking to me for many months now about the need for 'change' and 'making room for the new' in our lives. As believers we have a responsibility to have our ear to His chest and be listening to His instruction and wisdom and implementing it in our lives.

In this time of significant transition and in this new era I have been hearing the Lord say over and over:

"Things HAVE to change, they cannot remain the same. Things NEED to change in order for you to move into the NEW that I have for you and to move in and on the new page I have opened up for you."

The hand of the Lord is doing a MAJOR rearranging right now in the lives of His people. This is a time to YIELD unlike any other. It is a time to ALLOW the Lord to move what He needs to move. To rearrange that which He needs to rearrange and to shake that which needs to be shaken.

I heard the Lord say:

"Some things HAVE to go in order for you to move in the NEW FLOW!!!!"

There is a divine LETTING GO that is taking place right now. The Lord is asking His people to remove their hands from certain things, to let go of things that cannot go with you into the new. The "letting go" is happening on MANY levels. There is a letting go of holding onto the past. There's a letting go of unforgiveness and hurt. There's a letting go of unrealistic expectations. There's a letting go of anxiety. There's a letting go of fear. There's a letting go of "old wineskins". There's a letting go of the burdens of "this is how it should be done" or "this is the way you should go" or "this is who you should go with", the expectations of "man" NEED to fall. The Lord is summoning His people to LET GO of expectations built by man and led by man, it's a "man made way" and not the way the Spirit is leading, but see in the OBEDIENCE and the letting go and following where Jesus is going and where He is leading there is great fruit, increase, favour and blessing unlike you have known.

RELATIONSHIPS ARE SHIFTING

There are MANY relationships that are shifting right now. Don't fight to hold onto a relationship when there is a change taking place by the hand of the Lord.

I heard the Lord say:

"There is a shifting and changing happening in relationships and some relationships cannot be taken into the new place that I have for My people."

The Lord is leading many of you reading this in new directions and you feel relationships that have been close to your heart and some that you love dearly, beginning to change. You can feel the change, you can feel the shift, there hasn't been offense or hurt or a falling out, but you feel the relationship shifting and changing and you have been wondering what's happening. The Lord showed me that there are SEASONS for some friendships and there is a CLOSING of a season of friendships for many right now, but I hear the Lord saying "TRUST ME". For where those friendships shift and change and you are moving into something new and a new direction, the Lord will bring new people around you for the next part of the journey. Yes, there's a grief, yes there's a process in the letting go, but where the Lord is saying to "release them", do so, because some cannot go where you are going. Do not hinder the process of moving into the new thing the Lord has for you by holding onto some relationships He is clearly saying to let go of.

It is IMPERATIVE to listen to the wisdom of the Lord right now regarding relationships and those who are walking with you on your journey. I heard the Lord saying "INNER CIRCLES ARE SHIFTING", some of these inner circles need to shift and change in order to move into the new.

In the shifting of relationships and shifting of many "INNER CIRCLES" there is a depth of intimacy with the Lord that is going to blossom with the Lord and a deeper unity that is going to come with those the Lord brings into your life. God is building stronger community and unity in your life, the Lord is strengthening unity in your life, it's just happening for some in different ways than you realise.

CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF INCREASE?

I heard the Lord saying:

"Can you hear the sound of increase?"

The Lord is bringing increase like never before and as a loving Father He is releasing wisdom and instruction on how to move with Him and yield with Him to be able to carry the increase. The sudden changes, the sudden changes of course, the resounding of the Lord to "COME OUT" of things you were in and part of before, is exciting because you are moving into something more beautiful and greater than you could ever imagine. It is increase. Any deep pruning taking place right now is simply to see the increase of fruitfulness in your life. You must arise and obey in order to ARRIVE into the increase He has for you.

Yield! Yield! Yield! There is a resounding sound from heaven to YIELD!!! HUMILITY is KEY and THE key in this new era.

"The source of revelation-knowledge is found as you fall down in surrender before the Lord. Don't expect to see Shekinah glory until the Lord sees your sincere humility." - Proverbs 15:33 (The Passion Translation)

"The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honour." - Proverbs 15:33 (ESV)

Take heed of the Lord's instruction, follow His wisdom in the "letting go" and the "rearranging" for He is leading you into a new place of favour and partnering with Him to see His Kingdom established and His Glory revealed. Watch as the name of Jesus is lifted high and glorified in and through your life through your obedience to His wisdom and instruction.

And The Old Man Became As A Little Child by Madeleine L’Engle

This poem was written in remembrance of the Holy Innocents — those babies who were killed around  the time of Jesus’s birth. The man in the poem is imagined to be the father of a Holy Innocent, and the nobleman from Capernaum whose son Jesus saved from death.

He could not sleep.
The tomb was dark, and the stone heavy that sealed it.
He could not sleep for all the innocent blood he had seen shed.
He was an old man. Too old for tears.
Not yet young enough for sleep. He waited and watched.

Thrice he had spoken to him whose body had been sealed
within the tomb, thrice had the old man spoken,
he who was a disciple, but not one of the twelve,
older, gentler in all ways,
and tired, worn with time and experience and the shedding of blood.
He came from Capernaum
and after that his son
who touched the edge of death
was drawn back from the pit
and made whole,
the old man returned to Jesus and said,
“O thou, who hast today been the consolation of my household,
wast also its desolation.
Because of you my first-born died
in that great shedding of innocent blood.
Nevertheless, I believe
though I know not what
or how or why
for it has not been revealed to me.
I only know that one manchild was slain
and one made to live.”

And a second time he spoke
when the Lord kept the children beside him
and suffered them not to be taken away:
“These are the ones that are left us,
but where, Lord, is the Kingdom of Heaven?
Where, Lord, are the others?
What of them? What of them?”
And he wept.

And a third time he spoke
When the Lord turned to Jerusalem
and laughter turned to steel
and he moved gravely
towards the hour that was prepared
and the bitterness of the cup:
then the old man said,
“All your years you have lived
under the burden of their blood.
Their life was the price of yours.
Have you borne the knowledge and the cost?
During those times
when you have gone silent in the midst of laughter
have you remembered all the innocence
slaughtered that you might be with us now?
When you have gone up into the mountain apart to pray,
have you remembered that their lives were cut down
for your life, and so ours?
Rachel’s screams still shatter the silence
and I cannot sleep at night for remembering.
Do you ever forget your children that sleep?
When will you bring them out of the sides of the earth
and show mercy unto them?
Who will embrace them until you come?
I cannot sleep.
But because I have already tasted of the cup
I cannot turn from you now.
I, who live, praise you.
Can those who have gone before you into the pit
celebrate you or hope for your truth?
Tell me, tell me, for I am an old man
and lost in the dark cloud of my ignorance.
Nevertheless, blessed is he
whom thou hast chosen and taken, O Lord.”

He did not speak again.

But he was there when the rocks were rent
the veil of the temple torn in twain
the sun blackened by clouds
the earth quaked with darkness

the sky was white and utterly empty.
The city gaped with loss.

Then, out of the silence,
the Lord went
bearing the marks of nails and spear
moving swiftly through the darkness
into the yawning night of the pit.
There he sought first
not as one might have supposed
for Moses or Elias
but for the children
who had been waiting for him.
So, seeking, he was met
by the three Holy Children
the Young Men
burning bright
transforming the fire into dew as they cried:
“Blessed art thou, O Lord God, forevermore.”

And all the children came running
and offering to him their blood
and singing: “With sevenfold heat
did the Chaldean tyrant in his rage
cause the furnace to be heated
for the Godly Ones
who wiped our blood like tears
when we were thrust here
lost and unknowing.
The Holy Three
waited here to receive us
and to teach us to sing your coming
forasmuch as thou art pitiful
and lovest mankind.”
So they held his hand
and gave him their kisses and their blood
who could not bear their innocence
and thrashed with his tail
so that the pit trembled with his rage.
But even his roaring could not drown their song:
“For unto Thee are due all glory, honor, and worship,
with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now, and ever,
and unto ages of ages, Amen.”

And the holy children were round about him,
the Holy Innocents and the Holy Three.
They walked through the darkness of the fiery furnace
and the dragon could see their brightness,
yea, he saw four walkers loose
walking in the midst of the fire and having no hurt
and the form of the fourth was like the Son of God.

And he saw the Son of God move through hell
and he heard the Holy Children sing:
“Meet is it that we should magnify thee,
the life-giver
who has stretched out thy hands upon the cross
and hast shattered the dominion of the enemy.
Blessed art thou, O Lord God, forevermore.

O Jesus, God and Savior,
who didst take upon thee Adam’s sin
and didst taste of death
(the cup was bitter),
thou hast come again to Adam
O compassionate One
for thou only art good
and lovest mankind,
Blessed art thou, O Lord God, forevermore.”

So hell was shriven
while the holy children, singing,
transformed the flames to dew,
and the gates of Heaven opened.

Then, by the empty tomb,
the old man slept.

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

Paul L. Cox, Apple Valley, CA

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"

Daryl Crawford-Marshall, Sydney, Australia

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?

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

Dutch Sheets, Dallas, TX

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!
