Many have proclaimed this New Hebrew Year, 5774, as a "Year of the Open Door." While I concur with that, I often look at things from an additional perspective which includes not only the "revelation of the Holy Spirit" but the "ways of God."

So, if it is a "Year of the Open Door," then it is helpful to ask, "What are the requirements to go from one stage to the next?"

We need to consider, "To go through an open door, do you have to close some old doors first?"

I personally believe we are in a season of turmoil, upheaval, and contention – resulting in change. We are at a crossroads of change. This is true politically in the Middle East, the United States, and many other nations. There are issues such as global economics, the very moral foundation of this generation, concerns of social justice, required change in the Body of Christ, and all the ramifications these bring into our personal lives and families. We truly need grace for this transition!

So, let's go on a journey together and see if we find some principles that will help us go from "Promise Revealed" to "Promise Fulfilled."

From Narrow – To Transition – To Enlargement

We are in a process of change. The government of the Church is changing. Our authority level is changing. Our gifts are being drawn out of us in stretching dimensions. We have been and are going through places of testing and confinement in the Body called a "narrow place."

What is this "narrow place"? This is a place less wide than we are accustomed to or have expected to be in. If we respond properly to the "narrow or confined place," we will enter into the phase of "transition" to be brought into a "larger place" in the Spirit.

The new place is like the camel going through the eye of the needle. One school of thought was that that was a narrow gate. The only way the camel could get through was to be unloaded. This is the needle – the narrow gate. This is a place of unloading the weights of the past and a place of fresh commitment to the Cross where we die to self all over again. The "narrow place" can lead us out of captivity into a new and open field.

How Can We Make the Transition?

Transition means to pass from one condition into another. Transition times are when the Lord redefines and makes adjustments necessary for us to move forward. He gives us new focus and direction. He teaches us about Himself in a new way.

A transition, in a literary sense, is the phrase that connects the past communication or paragraph with the future thought. We must seek the Lord for both revelation and the ways of God in times of change. His revelatory perspective bridges the past season with the new one. Without clear revelation and communication during transition, we can lose the strength and wisdom of our past victory. But we desperately need His strength to go from glory to glory.


At the time of birth, transition is the most difficult time. This is the time when the woman feels, "I cannot go any further!" Only the vision of the child to come causes the endurance and perseverance toward the ultimate goal of a lineage and legacy being secured.

It isn't the new thing coming that is so hard to deal with, it's the transition from the old state of affairs to the new one. How we respond during time of transition before the new birth makes all the difference.

As you travail in this season, ask the Lord to give you strategy to protect your vision. Remember, the dragon attempts to steal new birth (see Revelation 12:4). Press forward! Cry out for greater grace to be granted to keep moving forward.

When these changes manifest, enlargement occurs. To "enlarge" is to expand, to set free, become greater in size and intensity. Enlargement – or going through the new open door – is a process, not just a proclamation. Press through the narrow, withstand the transition, and receive enlargement.

The Process of Change

Here are few thoughts on the process of change:

1. A new level of revelation is released,
2. Your present vision starts to be adjusted,
3. New vision is secured and established,
4. A mantle of restoration is placed upon you,
5. You go through the healing process concerning things of the past,
6. A new identity is developed within you,
7. Fresh strategies are revealed to you,
8. You see a greater fullness of your inheritance before you,
9. You have the strength to overthrow your enemies,
10. You secure your new inheritance.

Observing from my own prayer posture in life and ministry experience, if you are experiencing a "narrow place of confinement," or you sense you are in transition, be assured, He is about to visit you with a fresh demonstration of His Spirit. May your resources increase and your trials become stepping stones to renewed power and revelation.

And know this, when you have come through the "new door," there are others who have been watching your pilgrimage. When you are strengthened, you will be enlarged to strengthen others in Jesus' name!

Blessings on the Road to Becoming!

Prophesied on the 16`th of October 2013, Najoth Berlin- Spandau

“There is a fresh fragrance of God coming to Latvia, that carries the high presence of the priesthood of “Melchizedek”, which will stir up the Body of Christ in Latvia, so that the people of God within it are going to a higher level (see Psalm 110)!
Latvia, get ready for the phase of change, that is knit close together with Estonia!
It is like with the initiation of the Euro, that came first to Estonia and is coming then to Latvia!
Estonia you are a key nation for Latvia, that is stirring up a new wave of revival, that will go to the north- eastern part of Europe and Russia!
Latvia, get ready, says the Lord!
You are sitting in the entrance to arise and to receive the fresh manifestation of God’s presence!
You will accelerate with God while you support His presence (see Genesis 18:1-2.6-8)!
Don’t get irritated by the short constraining season, because you are under the construction by the hand of God to receive His fresh breath, so that you will arise in power for the season, that is laying ahead of you (see Genesis 2:4b-8)!
Eagles are coming to you to gather for a strong prophetic release, which will reveal the movement of the wheels, that are rotating in the Throne room of God (see Ezekiel 10:8-11.13)!
There are two supernatural winds, that are bind together and carry the characteristic of the prophet Ezekiel and the apostle John!”
Latvia, God is changing your place and upgrading you to the higher level with Him (see Revelation 4:1-2)!”


Scriptures to the prophetic word

Psalm 110 (NIV):
1 The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
2 The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!”
3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning’s womb.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7 He will drink from a brook along the way, and so he will lift his head high.

Genesis 18:1-2.6-8 (NIV):
1 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.
2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”
7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it.
8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.

Genesis 2,4-8 (NIV):
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth1 and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams (note: mist) came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Then the Lord God formed a man3 from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.

Ezekiel 10:8-11.13 (NIV):
8 (Under the wings of the cherubim could be seen what looked like human hands.)
9 I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.
10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels (note: “galgal”).”

Revelation 4:1-2 (NIV):
1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.

Amen and Amen.

In His Glory,

Dear Connected Ones,

as I walked in to the Prayer Tower, I heard the Lord say,
"I am ready to examine My Body!" He began to speak to me from 1 Corinthians 11 and Ezekiel 36-37. The next few weeks we will be focusing on parts of the body and allowing the Lord to activate the Body of Christ in a new way!

The Lord also began to speak about the suppression in our bodies and how He is going to war against that suppression. Even immune systems that have been suppressed from trauma and conflict, He would now begin to war against. I heard the Lord say He was going to examine His Body, and break the suppression of the blessings that are held captive in structures we are a part of.

Then He will loose renewal power to raise us up and cause us to live with new power and authority! Here is a portion of what came forward during that time from myself, Joe Knight and Elaine Priestly:

"This will be a time of breaking suppression, for much suppression has come into My Body. Today I Am going to do war with the spirit of suppression! Where your joy has been suppressed, I will unlock the door inside you to your joy, and what was suppressed will come out like a fatted calf, out of a stall.

There are new terms for My people in this season, and you'll be going around one corner and I'll be waiting on you. You will stand and you will say, 'But I sense the Presence of a Holy God here', and I will surprise you, just as I will surprise you with unexpected calls. I will now surprise you with My Presence. Watch around every turn, for I now am coming down on your path to meet with you and draw you into a new bath. For I am drawing a bath for My people, for this is a time of washing and this is a time of cleaning off the past, from the past season. As the suppression breaks, you'll feel things coming out of your pores, and I will be there with a bath drawn, to wash you off and cause you to shine new and fresh.

I will have a radiant people this hour that will go forth and radiate. You will find yourself in unusual places and those around you will begin to share their hearts with you. And in sharing their hearts you will say, 'I know how you can have your past washed away.' This is a time that My bath of Heaven is being drawn, so watch Me baptize My people in a new way. Your house will be cleansed with My river and the baths that I will bring in that home will cleanse the hurts and the fissures of your past. I am bringing forth healing water to heal your depression, to heal your despair, to heal your hopelessness, to heal hope deferred, and to heal all the broken places in your emotions.

There is now a re-visitation, when I am re-visiting like I did with the woman at the well. She came and she talked about how she had drunk, but I said, 'I Am going to give you water where you will thirst no more.' Some of you read the Word and it's become stale because you've been drinking from that same Word for a long time. But I say drink again! Drink again, because the Word will be alive, and it will be refreshing. Once you drink, you'll never thirst again because I'm awakening you as you drink, and I'm awakening your spirit in that place that you thought was dead. When you open the Word, the words will become alive. As you read the Word and as you drink, then you'll not be able to hold it in. Rather, it will gush forth from your spirit and you'll decree a thing and you'll see that word become established. So drink again!"
