Last Sunday there was such a powerful release of the Spirit of Prophecy. We are in times of contending, and times to hear and move in a new way!

“I would bring to you new opportunities in the days ahead. Even very quickly - in the very near future - you will have a time to pour out that which I’m giving you. You will have a new opportunity to get into. Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back! For if you do hold back then you will miss that which will rise up, and you will miss activating seeds for your future. Get ready, for this pouring out is coming to you. The opportunities on your path I’ve already ordered. Get ready, for this will be a time of ordering your steps so that your steps align with the steps that I have already set in place. And in this moment you’ll see the end, but you’ll see the beginning even before you step into it. So know this: watch as I give you the opportunity to activate your beginning from the end.
“Rising rivers indicate the overflow of blessings! New deposits of blessings are coming! Open your eyes, because with rising water levels you will see many things die because they will be suffocated out as the water rises. But you will also see many things come to life that have never come to life. Additionally, you will see new deposits and many other things exposed --- including snakes and lots of creatures moving to higher ground. Know that I am now changing the course of the land!
“I am re-aligning your diaphragm, the diaphragm of the Body of Christ, that part that is covering the womb. I am putting a new sound in it. I am expanding your ability to breathe in My wind, and you will be fire-starters. You will begin to manifest the fullness of My fire, of your worship, of your time with Me, of the time that you’re aligning your diaphragm with Me. I will breathe over the face of the earth and fire will begin to break out.
“I have shaken the heavens over you and am coming with a glory that is from Heaven, to shake the earth. This shaking and glory will cause the contractions to start, and those birth pangs to come forth. As My glory comes, it will birth new things. For I am doing a new thing in the earth and it is now shaking the heavens. I’m coming with My glory to shake the earth.  
“For indeed I am releasing the sound, the sound that captivate men with the power of mystery. For man has been captivated with the wrong mystery, but I am bringing sound to the Body of Christ and into the land. I will spin the mystery sound that will revive the land, that will demonstrate Who the Mighty One of Israel is. So get ready for the true sound of mystery that the Body will release and make the land come alive!
“The wind of My Spirit is reaching into the caves. My wind will originate in the caves and begin to draw out what has been hidden. Many of you have been in the cave, but this is a time where I am blowing you out into a place that you’ve not been before. So even if you’ve been hidden, you must set your sail, for I will find and re-align My people this hour. There are great winds that will be coming through the lands. Through this September, record where the great winds start blowing!  For it is from those places that I am now beginning to push out what has been hidden. I’ll blow many out of office, and blow others into office. This is a day of My blowing!  
“You need to know when to brace yourself and when to let go and ride the wind. Cry out for the grace to know the difference, so you follow when you need to let go and brace yourself when you need to stand.
“You are in the midst of contrary winds. But do not back down from those winds but lean into that resistance. In your quiet and in your still times My breath will nudge you forward in the path you’re supposed to take. And when you encounter doors that are closed, My breath will increase and I will blow open those doors before you. And when you come to fortified gates, even as gates that surrounded Babylon that were many feet thick, My breath becomes a whirlwind that will smash those gates wide open. They will even come off the hinges and never close up against you again. So walk in faith and believe that I have set a path before you and will make a way for you with the My breath.
“Know that there will big shaking in these next few weeks in world structures. Watch for big shakings! There will be much financial rearrangement. There are huge shakings coming, but the minute you go through the shaking you will begin to say ‘I know how to find my footing in this new place!’ There is a resistance! There is a resistance rising up in My people against those things that are weakening them. Let your resistance arise! Many would say that the earth is a great dynamic, great dimension, great demonstration, the sphere. But in that day you will recognize and say it is a small world after all.
“The storm winds are coming, and floods are rising. Many of you would be prefer to sing the song, ‘Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream … life is but a dream’. But things are going to progressively become worse with more shaking and more destruction before they improve. And yet many are still trying to row, row, row the same way they have always rowed. You must learn to adjust to the wind, adjust to the shaking, and allow yourself to be moved in a different way. Now is your time to row in a different way! Some of you need to get a new motor. Some of you have the capacity to turn the direction. Some of you need to let your sail up and quit trying to control when you put it up, and when you bring it down! Some of you need to kick into high gear and move on in. Now just grab the wind!
“When My disciples were in the boat rowing all night in the midst of the storm, a time came for them to stop rowing and to stop contending with the storm! When they stopped their rowing, I could bring them to their point of destination. This is a time to learn how to row differently. This is a rowing of rest! This is not a rowing of sweat, nor a time to do more! The more reports you listen to won’t solve your problems or cross you into your next place. Rather, My rest will position you where you need to go!
“Everyone is not receiving the rain that I’m sending. You have cried out for more, but you don’t know your own capacity. I’m causing you to know your own capacity even though it seems like a flood. I’m giving you that which you can contain. You’ve limited and capped it off in seasons past, but now is the time for the river to arise in you!
“I have said to watch the places that flood since that would be where Holy Spirit would begin to move. [This was prophesied during the Feast of Tabernacles in 2006]. Is it a surprise that Texas has received so much in rain in May that it would cover the entire state to a depth of eight inches? Now is your time to declare a new beginning of the Holy Spirit in Texas!
“So be still and enter into the supernatural dimension that I am in.  Be still, oh be still -- it’s supernatural.
Even the earth will respond and answer Heaven; the earth will answer Heaven -- its supernatural. So get ready for the ride, and throw your hands up high; throw your hands up high, and get ready for the ride!
It’s supernatural -- you can’t control it …  you can just go with it. You can’t control -- you can just go with. So throw your hands up, throw your hands up high, throw your hands up in the air, and enjoy the ride.
“It’s not the mystery of lawlessness, not the mystery of iniquity, but the mystery and the hope of Christ in you. It’s not the mystery of lawlessness, not the mystery of iniquity, it’s the mystery of Christ in you. This is our hope, this is our song; this is our hope, and we sing it all the day long. This is our hope, this is our song; oh, the mystery of Christ in you, we sing it all day long. There’s more of God than your hands can hold! There’s more of God than your mind can know! There’s more of God than your heart can apprehend! So reach out and seek more of Him.
“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.”

Dear Saints on the Move,

last Sunday morning, during our Celebration on Father’s Day, the Spirit of the Lord moved so powerfully. Here is some of the prophetic revelation released at that time:


“This is a day when I am going to start mending the wounded heart in a way that it has not been mended before! For many have not been able to love in the way I intended them to love. Get ready, for in this season your heart will be pierced and healed in a dimension that it has not been before. As I heal your heart, the weight of your shoulders will be removed!  
“Look and look again. There is an old wound that has settled deep that I have come to touch this week, and in the touching of it I will release a new healing. In the healing of it there will be a new change. When you see the change then arise, arise, arise, arise from that place that you have called home. Because truly I am taking you into new heights. When healing occurs for one, I will use you to see healing occur for many!  
“So I AM working together that situation you’re in. I am pulling parts that have gone astray and parts that were not used in other times. I am creating something new in you, so watch Me work this week! And watch Me work next week, and watch Me work the week after that. For I am settling that which keeps accusing you from the past, and I am bringing you up above your enemies!
“I am coming to break calamity out of your midst. Truly today is a day when people who come through these doors are going to enter into My presence; no matter what their motive was coming in, the motive of their heart will be changed because healing will occur in this house from this moment forward.
“Some of you are in agreement with being the victim that you have been! Cut ties with your victimization! Cut ties with your victimization and you’ll become who I have destined you to be this season!
“There are diamonds under the rubble of the wall. This week, as you begin to rebuild the wall with your hands, the words of the enemy would try and accuse you, while rebuilding the wall. But the diamonds that will be uncovered from the rubble will be the thing that stops the words of the enemy!”

The Lord is Faithful - How Do We Become Faithful Like Him?

John to the seven churches which are in Asia...from Jesus Christ, The Faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own Blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:4-6

The first name that is given to Jesus in the Book of Revelation is "The Faithful Witness." Because He was faithful to His calling, the reward that He has for us relates to our being faithful to our calling.
His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." Matthew 25:23
It is not what we do that determines the reward we receive, but rather it is our faithfulness in what we do (well done, not much done) that determines our future state and reward.

Many of us have experienced the let-down of an unfulfilled promise, and have felt the hurt and disappointment.
We were created in the image of God and feel, in a limited measure, as He feels. Just as we can feel disappointment, so also our Lord can be disappointed when we are not faithful to the outworking of all that He has made available to us.
In the parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins, all ten received lamps and went forth to meet the Bridegroom. But the foolish did not take a supply of oil (the result of time spent in His presence) with them.

Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom; and five of them were prudent, and five foolish; they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil; and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping, and in the middle of the night a cry was made, "Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him."
Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, and the foolish said to the prudent, "Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out"; and the prudent answered, saying - "Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves." And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut; and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, "Sir, sir, open to us"; and he answering said, "Verily I say to you, I have not known you."
Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come
. Matthew 25:1-13 Young's Literal Translation

When the Lord delayed His coming, their lamps went out. The Lord had been faithful, as He supplied them all with lamps, and with oil. But the foolish did not develop a means to resupply their oil.

We Were Created to Be Dependent

The "lamp" represents our salvation. All ten were saved. The oil speaks of the Lord's enabling grace and anointing, which quickens and maintains our spiritual life and strength. When we are not faithful to maintain a personal relationship with the Lord, we use up the supply of oil that we were initially given, and soon we feel spiritually dry and wonder why.

Adam was created to be dependent. He had to come to the tree of life on a daily basis to receive life. When he transgressed, the Lord placed a flaming sword to hinder his partaking, and the process of death began.

To be faithful on our part means that we take seriously our need to spend time in the presence of the Lord, to receive from Him. The oil is available; He who is ever faithful is waiting to pour spiritual life and substance into us.

The foolish took their spirituality for granted, and did nothing to make room to receive oil. The result was that their lamps went out, and they could not enter into a deeper level of communion with Jesus. After eating a good meal, food no longer seems appealing. When we fill ourselves with the things of this world, we will lack in our desire for spiritual things. When we are hungry, we become much less choosy as to what we will eat. The law of self-preservation is stronger than any thought patterns we may have concerning what we will eat, or not eat.

Fasting will increase our hunger, not only physically, but also spiritually. Fasting is much more than simply going without food in an attempt to cause the Lord to do as we want. Rather, when we fast we become very hungry. When we refuse to satisfy this hunger on the natural level, and sanctify it to become a prayer, it continually cries out to the Lord for satisfaction.

The fact of our going without food merits nothing, but when we sanctify our hunger as a prayer to reach out to the Lord, He will respond to our need.
Once we are spiritually fed, we must in turn feed others. Otherwise, that which we received will stay dormant within, and we will feel so full that we will fall asleep in His presence. As the foolish virgins, we will fail to maintain our supply of His grace and anointing.

How Can I Become so Spiritually Hungry that I Am Found Among the Five Wise?

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:1-2

David is crying out for an enlargement of his spiritual capacity. He had his faults, but he maintained a hunger for God that was so intense that the Lord moved him from tending sheep to the throne room.

We may ask, "How can I become so spiritually hungry that I will be found among the five wise, rather than with the foolish, in that day?"
There is no simple answer, but the first step is in our will. We must make the decision to make room for spending time in His presence. The Lord often comes in the night to knock on the door of our heart. Although our bed may feel warm and comfortable, we must make a firm decision that we will get up and spend time in His presence.

The second step is to guard what we allow to enter into our being. Carnal relationships and television will rob us of our spiritual perception and hunger. We often delay our going to bed, and then are too tired to get up when the Lord comes, seeking our fellowship.
These patterns must be broken and a schedule set, so as to make room. We must determine to remove those things that could become a substitute for our spending time in the Word and in prayer.

We will never become the overcomer who finds himself among the five wise unless we develop a disciplined pattern of life. The foolish said, "Give us of your oil." But the wise responded, "Go and buy for yourselves."

No one can give to another their commitment to spiritual obedience. But they can share the testimony of what they have received, which will make others so hungry that they also will begin to seek for themselves.

The third step is to spend quality time in the presence of the Lord. There is no substitute for the time we spend with the Lord.
When we do our part, the Lord will do that which we cannot do. He will create within us the hunger to propel us into the presence of the five wise.
Only then will we be prepared to enter with Jesus "in that day," through the open door into His Millennial Kingdom.
