Preparing for the Coming Move of God
Written By:
This season will be a
time of advancement and acceleration with shocking swiftness. The shift
has already begun and you can feel the change in the air. It is surely
not business as usual. The Spirit of God will set things in order,
releasing authority. There has come a "fullness of time" moment in the
realm of the Spirit. Heaven is declaring, "No hesitation!" It is time
for "advancement." Heaven's hosts stand ready to move, aiding all who
seek to establish the King in His Kingdom. The Spirit of God is, at this
point in time, restoring a “divine statement” to the Body of Christ.
This statement has been used in our day in a most casual manner;
however, what is coming will correct this error. The statement is “Thus
saith the Lord!”
The Lord is revealing
more about the throne of God and the God of the throne during this
period of time. Now is the time to eat the hidden manna of Revelation
2:17. “The eyes of the Lord have been searching for a people with a
pure heart and upright motives in order to show Himself strong on their
behalf.”(II Chronicles 16:9) It is time to for bold believers to
volunteer. These instructions are found in Psalms 110:3 “ In the day
of God’s power His troops will volunteer willingly.”
The
Spirit of the Lord is calling for the army of the Lord to arise - to
take hold of the Kingdom, knowing that “greater is He that resides
within us than he that is in the world.” (I John 4:4) This is not a
time to be weak and timid but rather a time to be strong in the power
and might of the Lord.
Heaven as well as hell is
posing the exact same question to Christians. The question is, “Who do
you think you are?” The Spirit of Truth will release clear understanding
of who we are in Christ and Who Christ is in us.
What will be accomplished
will not happen by our might or by our human zeal but only by the power
of God’s Spirit. "This is the word of the LORD saying, 'Not by
might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts."
(Zechariah 4:6)
OVERCOMING WITCHCRAFT
God will release power to
overcome the witchcraft of
. We must overcome the impulse
to attempt to finish in the flesh what God has begun in the Spirit. This
is a great offence to God - our attempting to substitute human zeal for
heaven’s anointing.
COMING BREAKTHROUGHS
The Body of Christ will
experience awesome breakthroughs in many different areas such as music,
arts, as well as other areas. Soul winning will become a major heartbeat
of the Church. Battles will increase but with awesome victories.
The church will enjoy
unity and restoration, resulting in displays of grace and power. We will
see Psalm 133:1-3 come to pass as “brethren dwell together in
unity.” This powerful new unity will give us confidence to expect
more from the Lord.
The Spirit of the Lord will fully support those with right
motives and strengthen all that they are doing. If we become truly
accountable, we can then be trusted with more true authority. Christ
Jesus will find faithful stewards who will be entrusted with more. These
stewards will walk in integrity, pursuing peace and purity.
The Lord spoke to me, "If
I can find a people without mixture, I will pour out My power without
measure." There will emerge a group of "overcomers" walking in true
kingdom power. (See Revelation 3:20-22.) We must be contenders and
defenders of the faith (see Jude 2-3) to avoid seeing the acts of the
apostate rather than the Acts of the Apostles.
In a vivid prophetic
experience, the Spirit of the Lord spoke these encouraging words to me.
1. Accept No Imitations!
2. Expect No Limitations!
3. Embrace Infinite Possibilities!
As we aspire to make
these three areas a living reality in our lives, God will launch the
Church into a much higher level of faith and power.
So what does
this mean?
Accept No
Imitations
The words “artificial,”
“counterfeit,” and “synthetic” help us to grasp a better understanding
of the word “imitation.” I once asked the president of a leading bank,
"How do you detect a “counterfeit” bill?" He replied, “By having someone
that is accustomed to handling “the real” touch it."
This is why the body of
Christ must have true intimacy with Jesus. We must become so accustomed
to His voice that we are not moved by the enticing voices of strangers.
(See John 10:3-5.) Why? Because we cannot continue to spend our lives
for that which is worthless wood, hay, and stubble.
THE EMERGING ZADOK
PRIESTHOOD
Recently I observed the
sky as rain clouds began to form. I could see them approaching - moving
swiftly across the sky. I could hear the rumble of thunder as they began
to release the much needed rain. It seemed the drops were some of the
largest I had ever seen. The sound of the heavy rain pounding upon the
earth was extremely loud. However, the sound of the falling rain seemed
to be releasing a harmony or pulse beat like that of a huge heartbeat.
The Lord said, “It is the
rain of anointed teaching I am releasing through the emerging Zadok
priesthood." These anointed priests will begin to authenticate that
which is holy and divulge that which is profane by imparting rather than
informing. (See Ezekiel 44:23.)
The goal of the Spirit of
Truth - to establish each one of us in truth – is our only method of
sanctification. It is time to take a stand for righteousness and
holiness. Grace is not a license to live loosely. Have you drifted far
from the calling to stand for truth and righteousness in order to appear
politically correct? Let those who would be vessels of honor return to
true holiness of heart. This will allow us to be sanctified in truth and
be presentable to the Lord as consecrated vessels. In order for true
freedom to reign, we must teach the truth, the difference between the
holy and the profane, the clean and the unclean.
What is the difference
between the profane and the holy? In a strong prophetic experience The
Lord spoke to me revealing His definition of “profane” as anything man
is doing that He did not initiate.Remember the words of Christ Jesus
when He said, "Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew
you…” He spoke these words to those who had been immersed in
religious activity without truly trusting Christ. (See Matthew 13:27.)
Christ Jesus commanded, "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is
truth." (John 17:1)
Believers must lead
upright lives characterized by genuine authentic lifestyles of faith.
“The walk must match the talk” if we are to carry a message that will
legitimately change lives.
The fundamental purpose
of the Zadok priesthood was to minister unto the Lord as described in
Ezekiel 44. As a reward for their faithfulness, they were allowed to
draw closer to God. (See Ezekiel 44:15-16.)
THE BLESSING OF
CORRECTION
Many Christians feel a
sense of disorientation at this time as a result of spending a season
upon the "Potter’s" wheel. We are in a time of transition which will
produce transformation. The Potter’s hand is molding the clay. Our
responsibility is to remain yielded upon the Master’s wheel. If you try
to mold yourself, you will become dry and brittle and ultimately broken
and remolded. Stay moist and surrendered.
Emerging leaders and
their ministries are enduring seasons of sifting and pruning. The
refiner’s fire is forging their character to carry this unique anointing
so that the anointing will not be lost nor the vessels damaged or
destroyed for lack of character. They will be the leaders and counselors
who will not judge by what their eyes see or what their ears hear, but
in true righteousness they will make decisions resulting in equity and
justice. It will be a true impartation of the divine nature and holy
character established in the spirit and soul of the Lord’s leadership.
Remember God’s promise,
"If I can find a people without mixture, I will pour out my power
without measure.” Embrace purity, the identifying mark of a child
of God.
The Spirit of Truth - the
Holy Spirit - is calling each Christian to walk like a true Zadok
priest. These priests maintained and modeled the highest standard of
morality, self-control, and self-denial in Israel. Their lifestyle
taught the people how to distinguish between the godly and ungodly. (See
Ezekiel 44:15-23.)
Many today are actually
walking in deception because they do not know that they have departed
from the true path of righteousness. Some are even aware of wandering
but choose to deny the fact that they have turned away from Jesus, their
first love. We must face our artificial allegiance to Christ and become
authentic and unadulterated in our walk with Christ. The prophetic
promise of II Corinthians 7:1 is about to become a living reality.
Expect No
Limitations
"Is there anything
too hard for the LORD?" (Genesis 18:14) The prophet Jeremiah
answers this question stating, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, thou hast made
the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and
there is nothing too hard for thee." (Jeremiah 32:17)
Our cry should be,
“God, nothing is impossible with You!” (Luke 1:37) If we expect
more, God will release more. Let’s pray for faith that moves the hand of
God. (See Mark 11:21-24.) Now is the time to think big because God can
do anything. It is time to expect more, believe for more, and ask for
more. Paul the apostle reminded us that "God is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all we could ask or think according to the power that
is at work within each of us.” (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Kathryn Kuhlman said,
"The only limit to the power of God lies within the individual...It is
when active faith dares to believe God to the point of action that
something has to happen."
Embrace Infinite
Possibilities
Embracing requires reaching out, taking hold, and bringing something
near. There is no such thing as a distant embrace. We cannot embrace
this coming move of God at a distance. God is calling each of us to draw
nearer to Him, to come aside to know His heart, to be still and know
that He is the Lord. As we behold His face, He will change us into His
divine image. (See II Corinthians 3:18.) So meditate upon these
promises. If we will accept no imitation and walk in unadulterated union
with Christ, then we can expect no limitations. Now is the time to
embrace these infinite possibilities.
HOW TO ATTAIN THE LORD’S
HELP
The cry of a
desperate heart is clearly heard in Psalms 42. We discover several keys
in this passage for attaining the much-needed help of God. Notice in
verse five “I will praise Him for the help of His countenance.”
Then in verse 11 we see the help of our countenance.
