The Forerunners Must Arise

This is a Prophetic word from the Lord for the end-time Church:

In the Book of Joshua, we see the children of Israel walking in obedience to the Law of God.  We observe them walking in the statutes and the judgments of the written Law of the Lord.  Because of their obedience to the Lord, they conquered and defeated every enemy that rose against them, and everyone they set their hands against.  As the Bible transitions into the Book of Judges, however, the children of Israel turn from their path.

 

Judges 2:7

 

So the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

 

The Word of God says that the people of God “served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua…”  It goes on to say that the people of God served Him while the elders were still alive; the elders who saw the mighty works God did for them.  Yet when all the elders died, the children of Israel turned from following the Law of God, and fell into sin and unfaithfulness before the Lord.

 

Judges 2:10-14

 

When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel.  Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals; and they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger.  They forsook the Lord and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.  And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel.  So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies

 

After the generation who saw the mighty works of the Lord died off, a new generation of people arose who did not know the Lord.  This generation led themselves into sin and idol worship, as well as other foul sins before the throne of the Lord.  So over the course of the next 1000 years or so, God sent Prophet after Prophet to warn the people of the judgment and doom to come upon them, and to guide them back into a lifestyle of holiness and obedience before the Lord.  From Samuel to Malachi, the Lord called for Israel to come back into obedience to His Word.  Yet even after all of His patience and love, the people of Israel did not listen.  Israel did not heed the words of the holy Prophets of God.  So God went on to finally send His Son to the Earth to accomplish His work.  Yet before Jesus was manifested in the “sight” of the people as the Son of Glory, God sent a FORERUNNER named John the Baptist.  John the Baptist prepared the people of God, as well as sinners, for the coming of the Christ.  John the Baptist spoke a message of holiness and righteousness to the people.  He stressed the importance of repentance from dead works and turning away from sin.  He opened the eyes of those who were confessing to be holy, causing them to realize that they were some of the most sinful people on the face of the Earth.

 

Luke 3:7-9

 

Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers!  Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’  For I say to you that God is able to raise up children of Abraham from these stones.  And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees.  Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

 

John the Baptist preached Jesus, and constantly and consistently spoke of His arrival.  He urged the people to turn from their wicked and perverse ways, because the coming of the Christ was soon upon them.  This sequence of events is exactly what we see now in the Body of Christ.  While people of God such as William Seymour, Smith Wigglesworth, Kathryn Kuhlman, Maria Woodworth-Etter, and John G. Lake (among others) were walking on upon the Earth, the people of God were living lives of holiness and deep devotion before God.  Christians were following the Word of God and living lives that were pleasing before the throne of God.  This is because (as Judges 2:7 states) the people saw the mighty works which God was doing.  Now when these men and women of renown, along with the generation who saw the works of God through them, left the Earth to be with the Lord, another generation arose who did not know the Lord.  People began rejecting the Word of the Lord and began walking in their own way.  People began falling into deep sins and unholy acts before God.  Brethren, we are living in that generation.

 

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE FORERUNNERS TO ARISE AND DO THE WORK OF THE WORK OF THE LORD!  We must preach a message against sin and lawlessness.  We must open the eyes of the “church folk” to see that they are some of the most sinful people upon the face of the Earth.  We must speak to the world and Church about preparing themselves for the second coming of Jesus Christ.  We must preach a message of repentance from dead works and salvation before God.  God has become hot with anger against the Church, America, and the world, and is ready to breathe down fire from Heaven.  We must do the work He has called us to do.  YOU ARE THE FORERUNNERS!  Do the work of the Lord, for Jesus is coming, and it’s our job to get the people ready.  As we saw, it was obedience to God, His Word, and His servants that produced victory over Israel’s enemies.  Here is a spiritual truth for you: you can determine your level of obedience by your level of victory. We must do the work of the Lord, for the world is waiting, and victory will only be won through our obedience to the Lord.

A Prophetic Word about the Economic Crisis

I know this is not the normal post on the prophetic as I intended to do. However, I feel as this is a timely word. In the today’s economic crisis, many churches are in the face of heightened financial strain. Many members are opting to stay at home and watch church on TV for the sake of gas. Many have declined in paying tithes and offering. Those that are in full time ministry are feeling the pinch as expenses increase to travel and minister. Many of us we have to stand on the very word we have been preaching and believe the Lord that he will provide. As many times as we have spoken all of the provision scriptures in times where we were without lack. They are becoming ever more real to us now.

Many of us the Lord is moving and showing up as Provider. However, I want to encourage those were the bills are increasing and pay is decreasing which has enticed you to decline in ministry. Also, to the pastors and leaders who are struggling to minister because of the lack of adequate funds to maintain the church.

These scriptures really encouraged me.

Philippians 4:10-13.

Paul was writing this letter to the Philippian church. This scripture is very compelling. In verse 10, Paul was very excited because the provision that the church was providing for him while he was away had started to flourish again. Even though the church wanted to take care of the man of God, they lacked the opportunity at times

Then his letter takes a complete turn, He stated the reason for request support was not because he was in need, but because he understood contentment. He stated that he understood how to be content in all things. This is powerful you mean in his lack. There was no tangible element that could remove him from his purpose or from preaching the gospel. He understood how to be without and function and be sufficient.

TO ALL PASTORS, APOSTLES, INTERCESSORS, PROPHETS, AND THOSE IN MINISTRY

THE LORD SAYS: Remain content in all things. Lack and Insufficiency is not in excuse to drop out of the race and give up on what I have mandated you to do. If you will shift your mentality towards gain you will begin to see much fruitfulness in your life. It is an issue of faith and there is much grace available for you to stand in these times. Continue and don’t dwell on the provision because you will not lack bread. I desire to be the savior in your life but many of you are attempting to save yourself by your own strength, means and wisdom. Be encouraged! Though there is famine in the land. You will not suffer calamity. The house will not be in foreclosure. The car will not be repossessed. Your funds will not decrease. Place your strength in me. The economic crisis will not overtake you, but you must place your trust in me. I have made myself available for you.

Finally, YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENTHENS YOU.

The Greatest Work of Christ

Disclaimer:

I know, it’s been a long time since you have read something by me.  Well, be encouraged!  After a long hiatus, I have decided to come back and grace the ProphetSpace blog with some revelation from the Spirit!

John 14:12

“I tell you the truth, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

In the Body of Christ today, we hear a lot of talking going around.  We hear about people speaking that we are about to step into the greatest revival the land has ever seen.  Others are saying that a great end-time outpouring of the Spirit is quickly coming upon us.  Each one of these statements are true, but while there is a day coming for these things to come upon us, are we to just sit back and wait for them to manifest?  I beg the question: are we to participate in the miracles, signs, wonders, healing’s, deliverance’s, and manifestations of the Spirit just as Jesus did in His day on Earth, without accomplishing His greater work?

I know many people read this scripture and say, “Wow, that means if Jesus raised 15 people from the dead, then I can raise 30!”  Yes, you can!  But this is not exactly what He was speaking of.  You see, before the healings, before the miracles, before the casting out of demons, before the glorious raising from the dead, Jesus had to accomplish one task: death to self.

Now I know some people may be upset with me saying this, because Jesus was God in the flesh and He did not need to die to self.  Yet thats not what the Bible states.

Luke 4:1-2

“The Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted forty days by the devil.  And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.”

Jesus Christ was led by the Spirit not only to go into the wilderness, but also to fast forty days.  Now one thing anyone will learn as they begin to live a lifestyle of fasting is this: fasting shuts down the operation point of the enemy, which is the flesh.  Jesus was led to fast because the Spirit of God knew that He was going to be tempted of the devil.  This meant Jesus needed to shut down the place where the enemy would try to operate.  People, we must always remember, Jesus was just as much human as we are upon this Earth.  How else would He be qualified to redeem us?  Look at it this way: if Jesus Christ is the SECOND ADAM, then just like the FIRST ADAM, Jesus could have failed.  Don’t ever forget that Adam was completely God and completely flesh as well.  This is why Jesus had to fast, to cut off the place where the devil would try to snare.  Next, we see the result of His victory over the enemy:

Luke 4:14

“The Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit…”

After Jesus put Himself to death, and defeated the temptations of the enemy, He returned in the FULL power of the Spirit.  Peoples, are we higher than Jesus our Saviour?  If He had to put Himself to death and deal with the temptations of the enemy, why do we thing we won’t?  Let us stop acting like spoiled children.  The reason why some complain when they are tempted by the enemy is because they really don’t want to die to their flesh and partake in the true ministry of Jesus: the path of the Cross.  Don’t be like the children of Israel, who went through the wilderness MULTIPLE times.  WE must put ourselves to death and resist the wiles of the enemy, so that after we are done with the wilderness, we can be endowed with the full power of the Spirit for our life and ministry.

God bless,

Positioning the Church for the Outpouring of End Time Wisdom.

I believe that we are definitely in the days of Daniel where God is entrusting political leadership in the hands of the church so that His structure be Supreme. In the midst, I see key people being placed in this arena perverting the Wisdom of God, prohibiting it from flowing through the mind of the President.

During this time the church must know what it means to “come out from amongst.. and be ye separate” (2 Corinthians 6:16-18).

This separation is for the receiving of unearthly wisdom. In this hour mans wisdom will fail and there will be a seek for answers. We must be the Answer to the Cry! God is calling for Deep Discipline in the daily lives of His people. We must number our days according to the Wisdom of God which means Decreasing so that he may Increase. This discipline is in the areas of: what we allow to come out of our mouths(!!!), food control and consumption, our finances, our time,. etc. Our daily lifestyle should mimic that of Daniels. We must pray for the direction for the next president.

Understand that as of now God is giving us a choice and isn’t forcing this upon anyone. We will Walk in the Spirit to the degree that we “Fellowship with Him.” Excellence, Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding must be groomed inside of us in order to know the secrets of God for the end of days. If you want results, humble yourself and enquire in His temple and He will reveal the beauty realm, which is His Glory. We need Gods truth to prevail. Position yourselves for the shifting of powers.

How to Develop Prophetic Accuracy

I remember when I first started out in the prophetic. The main thing I wanted to be was ACCURATE. I wanted to be right on point when I spoke the word of the Lord. I started out mainly in personal prophecy. When I prophesied, I wanted to speak the very secrets of the person’s heart according to 1^st Corinthians 14:25.  I believe this is everyone’s heart when they begin in the prophetic. Coupled with that, there is much fear of missing the mark or not being accurate. So when you begin, you have to pray to the Lord that he will deliver you from the spirit of fear. When I first came to my church, I was around powerful prophetic people and was very intimidated. They seemed to prophesy the inner chambers of your heart with ease. We were all mentored by my overseer, Apostle Matthew Stevenson, who is known in our area as a man with “lethal prophetic accuracy”. So the pressure was definitely on as we all wanted to be as accurate as our leader. However, I thought there was a big secret to becoming more accurate in the prophetic. I thought to do the usual which is what we all do pray more, fast more, worship more, and the like. Although, these things help. However, it was one scripture that changed my whole perspective of developing accuracy.

 

John 15:15 states, “ Henceforth I call you not servants; for servants knoweth now what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

 

Apostle Matthew shared this scripture with me and he said, God talks to his friends. If you spend time developing a relationship with God. He will speak to you as a friend. This changed my whole view  because I no longer focused on being accurate or developing my prophetic gift. I focused on becoming a friend of God and accuracy in the prophetic came as a result.  So the first step to developing prophetic accuracy is to simply spend time with God. Once you commune with him. He will begin to share his heart with you through dreams, visions, audible voices, encounters, and other methods.  You will find out the Lord has a lot to say. Prophesying became a little easier once I embraced this concept. Before giving a prophetic word, I would begin to ask God quietly in my heart or out loud, “What do you want to say to this person?” or “What is your heart for this person”. Then, the prophetic rivers began to flow. So much so I became acquainted with his voice.

 

Another key is he knows us by name and has a something to say to each person, city, town, or nation. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…” So, God knows what he wants to say to a person when giving a word.  The key is to spend time with the God and he will reveal it.  We desperately need the thoughts of God!

Learning to Hear God’s Voice

This will probably be a recurring question and there are a lot of misconceptions to the answer. However, I will attempt to briefly explain so inital steps to help you hear God’s voice and be confident that you have heard him. There are various ways that God speaks to us. However, I want to focus on hearing God through the inner voice which is I believe the initial phase to hearing God speak.

                All throughout scripture what you find recurring is God telling his people variations of these two phrases, “those who have ears, let him hear!” and “Hearken unto my voice”.  So, Why does God have to tell us to listen to him? The scripture clearly dictates that the issues is not with God speaking. It lies in the fact that we are not listening. God is passionate about speaking to his people. He desire to share his heart with us, but our own minds and hearts prohibit us from hearing him. Life can be really demanding and distracting. Some of us have kids, jobs, homework, careers, and other obligations and they demand our attention. So, the first step is to remove any and all distractions of your soul (i.e. mind, will, emotions). This means you have to quiet yourself through various means such as prayer, fasting, or maybe worship. One scripture that I found is helpful when the difficulty of quieting my mind and thoughts before God overtakes me is  2^nd Corinthians 10:5. It reads, “Casting down every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”. Praying this scripture will break any demonic influences from your mind so that you easily yield yourself to the Lord.

                After you start to spend consistent time with the Lord in prayer and worship, you will notice a distinction from your thoughts and God’s thoughts. As you continue to ask the Lord, to speak to you. In most cases, it will come in unplanned, sporadic thoughts, feelings, or emotions. Listen to these nudges of the Holy Spirit. You don’t have to be in prayer for the Lord to speak to you. He can speak to you throughout your day. However, our minds and hearts must be open. This means that we must always have a receptive heart and mind before the Lord or an openness, if you will. If you posture you heart, you will be surprise as to how much God wants to say.  You will also have to have faith, because the enemy is going to tell you it is not God. You will convince yourself that it is you. However, Leap in faith and just believe it was God. Don’t allow doubt to shake you!

 

I pray that know you  will take advance of your God-given right to hear God’s voice. If you desire to learn more about this topic, please visit http://prophetspace.ning.com.

National Day Of Prayer Directives

These are some awesome directives given from one of my elders concerning the National Day of Prayer which is today. I thought you guys could definitely use this insight.

Why is it important to pray today?

Scripture says sound the alarm through prayer, fasting and repentance; Reference Joel 2. Our nation is in a spiritual crisis. The voices of the intercessors must be heard for reformation, restoration and revival to truly take place here in the USA. Nehemiah, Esther, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezra and even Jesus Christ (Son of Man) are just a few biblical characters that set this pattern for us to follow!

 

• Repentance for the open and hidden sin of our country, even of our Founding Fathers. Heal our land; Joel 2 & 2 Chronicles 7:14
• Current President and Dick Chaney. 
• Upcoming elections (primaries in Indiana next week).
• God is concerned about the releasing of true prophets (Eagles) in our nations. Prophets that will stand against the prophets of Baal (wisdom, false prophets of this Age) Reference 1 Kings 18.
• Justice/relief for the poor, impoverished, hurting & abused women and children. 
• Rise up/groom pastors (ministers) the will follow the paradigm of “The Good Shepard” Ezekiel 34:11-31 & John 10:14
• Purity of Revivalists and street revivalists. Beyond of the Martin Luthers. Restoration of holiness and purity to the church, streets, and body of Christ.
• Jezebel: 2 Kings 9:22 One of the ruling principalities over the USA. Represents whoredoms (1John 2:16; lust that will never be satisfied, witchcraft ( Stubbornness, rebellion, no peace, and New Age delusion which influences doctrine, promotes hidden agendas & SELF-glorification). Apostle Matthew stated that it represents perversion of every type which is the opposite of Truth (the Spirit/Character of Christ).
• Release the Arch-Angels to fight against this territorial principality, to stop it’s agenda’s and subordinates. Release them to break the strong hold of it’s influence over our Country
