Out of all the prophetic men and women in Scripture, only two are described as being gifted to understand dreams and visions: Daniel and Joseph.

There are many prophetic people in the Bible, but only two who were gifted like this. In other words, we shouldn't be shocked or downhearted when we don't understand all of our dreams, visions or experiences.

All of us aren't going to understand our dark knowings, the deep things the Lord has called us to do--the deep things He has told us about.

We have to depend on other people to help us.

You Will Always Need Other People

As simple as it sounds, this creates incredible tension. We have a gift- we're supposed to be the ones with the revelation! If we depend on others, what if they see us as weak? Well, I'm the one with the gift, we think. If I don't know, who's gonna know?

Yet we often don't know, and the not knowing forces us to go one way or the other: We can choose God and His "family plan," or we can choose to become orphans who have to survive on our own. We are part of the body, and we cannot exist solo, no matter how gifted we are.

Walking in Faith

God will make us walk through life in faith so that we can understand how other people walk through life in faith.

Walking in faith involves believing that what God has said about us is true. It means we take Him at His word--which takes a lot of courage, depending on our personality type and our fears. We accept the fact that He did not create us to be loners who know everything. In fact, even though we can prophetically see for others, often we can't see worth a flip for ourselves.

If we didn't have to walk in faith, we would have absolutely no comprehension or understanding of the divine dynamic tension that everybody else has to walk under. In essence, God tells us, "I'm going to let you see for everybody else but you. Very seldom will I let you see for yourself. I am going to have others come to you and tell you, 'This is what's going to happen,' so that you have to walk by faith just like they do. You will know, then, how it feels when you go and tell that to them."

All of Us Equal

As we go through this maturing process, we realize that comforting others as we ourselves have been comforted (2 Corinthians 1:4) doesn't just apply to helping others through their pain. It is also a general statement of how God created us to live with one another whether there's pain involved or not. We are not separate from one another.

What one goes through, we all experience; and so, we learn to live in deep compassion and humility, realizing that God created all of us as the apple of His eye. All of us are equal in His sight, even if one gifting seems to be spotlighted more than another.

His affection does not pertain to gifting. It does not pertain to accomplishments. It pertains to His heart. He has chosen us to be recipients of His compassion. When we realize this, loving people becomes a little easier. Their destiny is just as important as ours, and we cannot make it to ours if they cannot make it to theirs.

John Paul Jackson

"For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell." Song of Solomon 2:11-13

Your Path is FORWARD and not BACKWARD!

Spring is Here! I am thankful that the Lord makes all things new and sprouts forth after a time of dormancy. My wife Pam and the kids have been working in the yard this week. Planting and preparing for Spring is one of Pam's joys in life. I love watching her gardens grow. When Spring comes, I always think of these four things:

Unlock Your Kingdom Potential

When Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have (more)

1. Spring is the time when the Jordan River begins to rise and we prepare to cross over or "pass over" into a new season of growth and inheritance. We let go of some things from the past year or past season and move forward. Crossing over includes moving from one dimension of promise to the next.

2. Spring is a time when kings go to war. I always contemplate the warfare ahead. I pray for God's leaders--that they will gain their war strategy for the future, and also be ready to confront the enemies that would try to keep them from prospering in God's Kingdom purposes. Make a list of the wars you need to win in the days ahead.

3. Spring is a time of resurrection. Some things have been dormant; or you have gone through a winter or death season, and now it's time for life to spring forth again.

4. Spring is a time for planting, sowing, and preparing for the Harvest or REAPING!

Spring is a Transitional Season

Spring is a time when the power of dormancy breaks off of us. We actually come out of hibernation and begin to "roar" because we are spiritually hungry. If Spring is a time for kings to go to war, then make a list of things that you want to be sure are fully defeated in your life. Also, define the place that you are trying to crossover into and how you should be prepared to make this shift. The crossing over place is defined as transition.

This is a time when we must allow God to show us the future so we can advance. You need to reach back and grab a hold of those things that have been detrimental and defeating in your past. Then, take your other hand and grab a hold of God's best for your future. Pull all the defeats of your past and place them under the "best" in your future!

The Body of Christ, the governments of the world, our nation, and most of us personally, are in major TRANSITIONS.

A transition is a place of CROSSING OVER! We are grafted into the covenant of Abraham. Abram, the Hebrew, was one who always crossed over. The word Hebrew is "abar" and means to CROSS OVER! Therefore, we are a Blood-bought, redeemed people who will always be crossing over to our next place of victory. A transition is also a passage from one state, stage, subject, or place to another!

A transition is a CHANGE in a movement, development, or evolution from one form, stage, or style to another. Transition is a SHIFT IN SOUND, or a musical modulation or passage leading from one section of a piece to another. Most transitions begin with a shift in our worship dynamic. A transition is an abrupt change in an energy state or level, accompanied by the loss or gain of a single quantum of energy. Therefore, we are sent into major transitions when the Lord looses new power into our lives. The power of God seems so many times to upset our ordered apple cart! We must learn to adjust.

Transition has Three Phases!

Transition has three phases--the first of which is an ending or death to something. Then there is much confusion. Confusion is fine for a while. Your cognitive processes are adjusting to many new ideas and environmental changes. Old strongholds are breaking, but resisting to fully letting go. Therefore, you know you need to move forward.

However, many times, you do not know how to move forward, but you are sure to not want to go back where you have come from. Then finally, there is your crossing over place into the new! The new will come, and you will get to your "there" if you keep going! I believe the Lord watches us very closely in our transitions to see how we process change and keep moving.

Psalm 126:6 says, "He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him." That means there comes a time when captivity breaks and even though seed has been drawn out of your basket in some way, it will come back and prosper. If you have wept, you will have joy. If you have given, you will have increase. If you planted, things will grow.

Do not grow weary in your well-doing because you will eventually prosper as you go forth. Your joy will eventually overtake your sorrow. Your giving will eventually overtake your drought.

Reaping in ancient times, as at present, consisted in either pulling up the grain by the roots or cutting it with a sickle, and then binding the stalks into bundles to be carried to the threshing floor. There were definite laws established by the Hebrews in regard to reaping. God is reviewing our boundaries so that we fully reap from the fields that we are connected into.

In God's Kingdom, there is a division of labor, "He that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together" (read John 4:36-38). 2 Corinthians 9:6 says, "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." May you reap a 10, 30, 60, or 100-fold return on your Kingdom investments.

Spring forth! We love and appreciate you!

GERMANY MARCH 29th 2007 - Word/Vision/Report

When Margaret and I arrived in Germany in March we found out it had snowed a day or two before.
The snow speaks of a "confirmation of the promises."
 
I had a word for Germany last year - a promise that God would release grace and favor and HONEY ( revelation) to Germany. He would remove shame and rejection and the harsh spirit that had tried to impose itself on the soul of the German people. (Email me for a copy of that vision)

We spent 3 days ministering at Daniel Glimms fellowship - we had a blast.
Lots of deliverance, gold, honey, perfume and GRACE.

The first night God told me to tell people that it's time to declare the favor of God and receive from Him. You don't have to qualify to receive your inheritance -the realm of the Spirit, the supernatural realm, the angels, heavenly visitations etc are meant to be a normal part of our lives.

God uses all kinds of things to bring attention to a nation- when people become aware of a nation they begin to pray for that nation. He showed me that the little polar bear "Cute Knut (pronounced Canoot) would bring attention to Berlin. Over the next few days I think he was on the news in just about every nation.

Tenderness over Germany

To every nation God has deposited a gift - when I was in Greece He told me Greece had a deposit of kindness as a gift. It gets covered up by intrusive spirits, but if you look by the spirit of God you will find it. I asked Him what gift He had deposited in Germany and He said "Tenderness." The Nazi spirit is very harsh, the opposite of tenderness. We put it to the test- and some of the most outwardly harsh looking people turned out to be very kind and tender underneath the first impression.

I can see God moving in Germany- unsaved young people we spoke to were open as long as you didn't speak to them in religious terms they didn't understand.

Starbucks Gold

When we went on Monday to the Brandenburg Gate and the site of the old prison where all the pictures and information is displayed of the top Nazi war criminals, there was redemption in the openness of those displays.
 
We went to Starbucks right there and gold dust fell all over the table, just like it does when I am with Pastor Dean and Pastor Ed in Hawaii. The floor under the table was also covered in gold. Manfred Glimm called the girl, who was cleaning to show her the gold dust- but she thought we were complaining about it and began to wipe it off -

The Seed is falling into Germany - The Polar Bear, Berlin and Germany 

I had a vision of a seed falling into the German ground. It was a seed of revival. It had gotten covered in ice and frozen over before it could sprout. I saw the ice melting and then the seed began to grow. The enemy can hinder revival but he can't stamp it out. It will grow when the climate is right.

All the time we had been talking about the baby polar bear ( In Germany they call it ice bear), my friend Margaret had been thinking that we all meant an ice sculpture of a bear and couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about. When they told her it was at the zoo she couldn't imagine why they would put an ice sculpture at the zoo?? But in Starbucks she actually did see an ice sculpture-melting in the Spirit.

Inside the ice sculpture she was two figures. An old stern looking man and young girl. The girl looked pretty and free and the old man looked menacing - trying to control her. As the ice melted it became very apparent that the old spirit did not want to let go entirely yet. But church, (the girl) its your choice. Your freedom is in your heart and in your mind.

Next we went to the street the Jews walked down to go to the train that would transport them to the death camps. It was so easy to imagine that scene now we were there. People looking out of their windows and watching them being herded to that railway station. I think that at that time the German people thought they going to be exported, not terminated.

We were suddenly at the station-there were angels there as there as there was in Starbucks and in the meetings. It was sad but not heavy and dark. It was not dark because the German Christians had prayed and repented there and the German government had let it all be brought to the in the light. But it had not seemed real to me before, now it was real and the past was very sad- but now God was shedding His light and grace on Germany, so sweet, like honey. And the aroma of honey was everywhere. That's always manifested when the Angel of revelation is present.

Manfred Glimm went to the police office to show some of his fellow police officers the gold all over the his face - speechless is what happened then.

There was one thing God told me He still had an issue with. There was an element of the church both in Germany and in other places in the world had not risen up to battle against the evil that overtook Germany. The kind of Ultra-Calvinism that I was taught had prevented God's people from warring. "Whatever will be will be" "The future is not ours to see," is what I call Doris Day theology. The attitude of "Well it must be God because after all He is in control" enables the enemy to move in and take ground.

Christian, the devil is terrified that you might find out WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
 
You are not a sinner saved by grace, you were a sinner saved by grace, but now you are a son and daughter of the most high God. He is terrified that the real church in Germany is going to rise up and display His grace and love, and demonstrate the glory of God. But Church in Germany, you are beautiful!

Germany Is Ripe For Revival

It's not time to be hidden, Germany is ripe for revival. God speaks through His Word, through His prophets, by His spirit and He also speaks through signs and wonders. Why does the gold dust fall in Starbucks? It's because God is saying something, people. Jesus walks in the market place

In Starbucks regular people stop their business for 10-15 mins. Enough time for someone to talk about Jesus. The angels like Starbucks, they are always there anyway.

Underneath is an English transcript of one of the articles about "Cute Knut" see how it speaks of so much of the things God showed us in the Spirit- from:

Cute "King Knut of Berlin", the Polar Bear

(A Summary from a 7-page special report of a Berlin Tabloid Paper From Saturday, 24th March)

A small polar bear rules our hearts. He is a star even in the USA, Great Britain and Sweden and journalists from all over the world came to see his first public appearance.

Young and old love him alike. Approximately a thousand people waited impatiently for Knut.

Blue skies and brilliant sunshine presented the perfect setting for his first public appearance, during which he mesmerized everybody.

The night before Knut's big day, his keeper took extra good care of him by staying with him until the morning, when he found that an unknown fan of our polar bear had left fresh bread rolls and honey outside the entrance to the cage.

Environmental Minister Sigmar Gabriel has symbolically been appointed as Knut's Godfather. This means that Knut will be the mascot for the "conference for the protection of endangered species" and will be paid for his services in form of food. '

"No other animal symbolizes the results of climate change as drastically as the polar bear no ice, no polar bear!"

Polar bear Knut is very special: only ten to fifteen polar bear babies are currently kept in Zoos world wide. Berlin Hotels have started an Internet advertising campaign, stating that Berlin is worth a visit because of Cute Knut.

"King Knut" is reaching superstar status in the eyes of the world press. Derek Maidman from the British "Sky News" claims, "Knut is famous in England. We all love him. " Xabier Collados from the Basque TV Station ETB reckons that only film stars get such big billing in Spain. They even love him in far away Japan. Matthew Schofield from the "Miami Herald" says, "Knut is so unbelievably cute and has a dramatic life story."

Polar bear Knut seems to love children as much as they love him: he curiously lifts his head towards the sound of the children's voices and tries to pick up their scent. Louise, aged 9, even dreamt of Knut, "In my dream I played with him!"

A family therapist tries to explain peoples love for the polar bear:

"Knut stirs up feelings of tenderness, because he looks so cute and cuddly. Even adults transfer their deepest longings and desires upon Knut. We can openly show our needs without being ashamed and which we would normally hide from others and even sometimes- from ourselves."

"We can identify with Knut, because he was rejected by his mother and felt lonely just as we sometimes feel lonely. We all need someone like Knut's keeper, who lovingly names us. Someone, who feeds us, when we are hungry and who is always there for us as long as we are small or feel that way.
Our desire for love is huge, is insatiable. Little Knut gives us strength. He blew up the thick layer of ice that encased our hearts and dissolved our deep-seated insecurities."
