EXHORTATIONS - April 2023
Walking around a dead situation long enough can sometimes dampen even the most brilliant and powerful faith! However, it's just these times where God comes to you and asks you like He asked Ezekiel, "Can these dry bones live?" (Ezekiel 37:3)
God's question to Ezekiel was never about the bones. What God was really asking Ezekiel was, "Where is the limit to your faith?" After seeing all the death and devastation, God needs you to rise up and declare, "MY GOD IS STILL ABLE!" That is what God is looking for TODAY! God needs your voice to declare His power! Someone around you needs to hear that God is still able to save, heal, deliver, defend, provide, and bring victory!
When God saw Ezekiel's faith arise to the challenge, the answer was simple -- START PROPHESYING!
He told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones and command them to listen to the Word of the Lord! Right now creation is moaning and groaning (Romans 8:22), waiting for the Word of the Lord to bring forth God's manifestation.
Right now, God is releasing a fresh wind upon you, the wind of destiny, to blow you into your Christ calling. Winds are the vehicle of the spirit realm. -- from Moses to Elijah, even to the day of Pentecost, the winds of God have all played a part in bringing God's will into the earth!
Ezekiel 37:9 - "Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man.."
Declare today that the four winds are about to bring you into your place of purpose, power, prosperity, and passion as you receive revelation of your DESTINY!

He is preparing His Bride through the raising up of His family. His purifying fire is refining, and His baptism of fire is igniting. He is calling you out to arise and take your place.
"Is not My word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?" (Jeremiah 23:29) Now is the time to speak forth His word with boldness on the leading of His Spirit and see His fire fall to annihilate the plans of the enemy, and see the path before you made straight. His word is like fire, and as you speak forth His word, you speak forth fire from Heaven.
You have had your character forged in the fire and your faith strengthened to a degree that you will now step out with ferocious faith, for you have seen His faithfulness. The fire of His word released through you silences the enemy.
His roar is released through you. You reflect and radiate Him; therefore, you release His roar and sound. The roar of the fire of your words and sound is one of breakthrough, alignment to truth, and an overturning of the plans of the enemy. The fire of your roar is burning that which is not of God and is making the way clear, for your roar is one of authority and power.
This is your hour where you will equip, train, nurture, and disciple those souls who are new in Christ. You will support and guide them as they come to understand their Christ identity and God's purpose for their life. His family is arising, -- now they can carry the FIRE!

You may have felt disarmed and disabled by the noise of the world and become confused and distracted from your Christ calling.
There is a reset taking place right now where God is exposing the diversions to your calling (Ephesians 4:1), removing all strings, wires, ropes, and chains and He is restoring and healing those that have been cluttered and sidetracked from their real mission. As you abide in the secret place fresh oil is flowing to rise you up with fresh fire and focus.
You may feel pushed into a place of confinement by the enemy, where it feels like in every situation and circumstance there was no way out. There seems to be impossibilities on every side and the "end of the road" signs around you.
There has been an extreme mental battle where the breaking point has brought a new level of intensity and taunts of warfare that have been deafening. This is a season where the promise before you is "Go, run, pursue! Stretch your tent pegs, expand and move!" (Isaiah 54:2)
If you have been pressed, crushed, bullied, and oppressed by the enemy ( 2 Corinthians 4:8) -- then release a powerful roar, silencing the enemy and shutting down his plans. You are to rally and fight and not hide -- there is a cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) standing in Heaven interceding for you that are saying Rise up! Being backed into a corner is only causing you to want to run into the enemy's camp and wreak havoc…so do it! Praise, prophesy, stand up, rise up, and move in faith (John 5:8), regardless of what you see!

We are in a time where the Lord is calling you to arise, step into the promise and take your territory -- in the next stage of your divine destiny. There are no breakthroughs without a life of sacrifice. In this season the Lord is calling you to lay down your personal plans and agendas and move forward into all He has for you. Arise and take your place. He will meet you as you step out in obedience to the assignment He presently has for you. He has paid the price for you, now walk in all He has prepared. Arise and walk in all you were called to be.
This is a time when the Lord calls you to have faith and step out on His leading. He will meet you at your obedience and show you the way forward. As a child of God you are you are an heir of God and co-heir with Jesus -- you are the hands and feet of Jesus as you walk out God's purpose for your life.
As you are an heir of God and co-heir with Jesus. God wants you to be effective in moving His Kingdom forward and. know what is available to you from Him. The word of God unveils your dominion and authority in Christ so you can be effective in bearing fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom.. The Lord is calling you to claim and walk in your Christ identity as you come to understand your Christ calling.
"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." - Romans 8:14
Allow the Lord to lead you in developing vision as you move forward in the world-changing assignment He is giving you. Obediently move out in the power of the Holy Spirit, onto the path of promise and the next step of your Christ inspired destiny. Claim the inheritance and territory that is waiting for you!

"He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bone
s live?' And I answered, 'O Lord GOD, You know.'" - Ezekiel 37:3
God is always standing by, ready to breathe new life into anything lifeless when you ask. He is there in your spiritual springtime and in the cold, winter months. And He is even closer, hovering nearby in your darkest hour, according to Psalm 34:18 where it says: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
This scripture asks the question, "…can these bones become living people again?" The word "living" does not only mean to come back to life after being physically dead, it also applies to brokenness, a dying dream, a losing struggle, and times of hopelessness and despair in any area of your life.
To live means to be refreshed, rejuvenated, revived, or to be given the promise of life. It also means to be restored or renewed—or simply to be made whole again.
Just as the wind breathed new life into the dry bones from the Ezekiel passage, God wants to resurrect your spirit as well. He wants to welcome you into His living presence and He wants you to declare that same resurrection life that is in you, breathing new life into the dead places in your life. Be the Joshua God has ordained you to be -- cross over and possess your land of promise and fruition (your Christ calling).
"…the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." - Revelation 19:7

Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
A place of rest is where God does His most significant work in you. If you are willing to learn how to rest, you will experience a depth of faith not known in a restless place.
God gives you the power and authority to engage in greater exploits in His Kingdom from a place of rest. This rest is purposeful, ongoing, and sacred. This rest must become a lifestyle, a constant way of thinking and living -- resting from trying to fix yourself to please God and allowing Jesus to live His life through your Christ calling (Galatians 2:20). Rest reveals the God-solutions that a stressed and burned-out mind cannot perceive.
Rest will be the place from which the next assignment in God's purpose for your life will be birthed. You enter this place of rest when you lay down your undisciplined ambition and your need to always have to produce -- to validate a lesser identity.
You are being reset to align your life with a greater manifestation of God's Spirit as He invites you to co-labor with Him (1 Corinthians 3:9) in new ways for the advancement of the Great Commission.

"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes” (Isaiah 54:2).
In this coming season of advancement and acceleration, the Lord is looking for those who will faithfully steward what He is releasing and entrusting to them. There is also a call from the Lord you to move beyond your comfort zone -- be prepared to go beyond your old ways and structures and to have eyes to see the new way He is moving you.
The Lord is calling you to walk in your oneness with Him so you can be used by Him in a greater way. It is only in deeper surrender that He can take you higher in the things of Him. You are then able to carry and steward the increase He wants to give you including an increase in assignments, resources, gifts, and spiritual authority.
Just as a bridge can take you higher in order for you to enter the new territory, the Lord is calling you to have heavenly perspective and He is going to release the bridge of great revelation in order for you to move beyond anywhere you have been before. The Lord is shifting your mindset and the constraints you have placed on Him. All of this is happening so that you can partner with Him as He moves you into new territory. EXPECT to move into a new land, and move significantly beyond where you are now, into the new level of your Christ calling.
Not everyone has a grid for what God is doing in your life. A key to promotion in this season is staying faithful to the process God has you in and managing what He gives you charge over.

If there is luke-warmness, you have to take responsibility for it. It's not always the church's fault. You've got to STIR YOURSELF UP by asking, seeking, and knocking (Matthew 7:7) until you come to understand God’s purpose for your life so you can start bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom here on earth.
Marching upon the path of God’s purpose for your life is similar to pumping spiritual iron. Each time you wield the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6), which is the word of God, every time you put on the breastplate of righteousness, every time you act in faith, every time you affirm and meditate on God’s promises your spiritual muscles grow stronger in Christ Jesus.
You need to say, "I don't just want to go to where the blessing is, I want to be the blessing. I don't just want to go to the revival, I want to carry the revival. I want to be what starts the revival!"

"...EVEN NOW whatever You will ask of God, God will give it to You" (John 11:22).
Today, you may be looking at dead circumstances all around you, and if that is the case right now rise up in faith -- speak to that hopeless and lifeless situation. Speak to the Lord in faith -- "Lord, I believe you for an 'EVEN NOW' miracle."
"Behold, I will do a new thing; NOW IT SHALL SPIRING FORTH..." (Isaiah 43:19)
When God calls you forth (John 11:43). it does not matter who has buried you, or who does not like it, or who celebrated your funeral...there is nothing that anyone can do and there is no power on Earth that can stop that supernatural surge of God's Word calling you forth!
You are breathing but you are lifeless. Hear the Spirit of the Lord declaring to you today, "Come forth!" See a sudden surge of God's power, answers to prayer, and an outpouring of His Spirit. Keep praying, keep standing, and keep contending.

God is building His Church through your Christ calling, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it! Multiplication will be found walking in your Christ identity standing firmly on the Rock of Jesus Christ.
"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18)
Over this resurrection period, God is going to saturate you -- the weights and worries of the past season are being washed away and a new level of joy is being imparted to you. You may notice a clearing away of the chaos and clutter from your life. Old things that are no longer beneficial for this season have been removed, making room for multiplication and advancement.
While you have been getting ready for what the Lord is going to do -- He has been watering the ground." He's making it ready…making it fertile. The Lord will bring anointed ones into your life to add to what He is doing in your life. They will further saturate you, until you are ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past.
You'll begin to notice that the things you have been working on, which carry Kingdom purpose, will become very fertile, causing abundant fruit. There are things that the Lord put your hand to for Kingdom advancement that will bring rapid multiplication. It is not about title or position; it is about Kingdom advancement,
Declare multiplication and fruitfulness from Heaven over your life, in Jesus' name!

"being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; " - Philippians 1:6
God is forging and forming a remnant of people who are passionately devoted to His Word and will hold on and not let go. They are a people that are learning, in deeper ways, what it means to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
There have been strong feelings of burnout and hopelessness because of the battle -- the Lord has seen the battle you have endured. He has seen your faithfulness to remain true in ministering to Him. He has seen your heart of love, adoration, and worship to Him; your life of obedience to your Kingdom objectives to bring glory to His name.
You have suffered much; much has been taken, much has been fought, but you have remained true to your Christ calling. There is great reward and recompense upon you as you walk into this new realm of hearing, encountering, and receiving the deep mysteries and secrets of His heart. The fires have purged you, they have tested you, they have purified you, and you have come out as pure gold. Promotion awaits you now.
Listen not to the 'naysayers'; follow His voice and direction and you will see the most incredible demonstrations of His creative power within your assignments and through your assignments in this hour. Bask in the joy that is set before you in partnering with Him in the new things He has for you!

You are part of a remnant of people who have eyes to see, faith to believe, and courage to advance in order to move forward, in His authority, into places and situations you have not yet experienced but are awaiting as part of your destiny.
Declare TODAY that the Holy Spirit is opening your eyes to see beyond the veil that the enemy has brought to blind you to the glory of the Lord moving in your midst. Now, see into the unseen realm with the eyes of your spiritual understanding enlightened, so that you can perceive that God is for you, moving on your behalf and sending you forth (Ephesians 1:17-23).
The measure of faith you have received is even now being activated, so you can believe and rise up from the place where you have been passive and overtaken by the spirit of oppression. Even now, it is breaking off, and the cloud of confusion is lifting. Rise up!
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
You were created to be a carrier of His glory! He is with you and sending you forth in the power of His Spirit to accomplish what He has ordained for you from before time (Ephesians 2:10). Open your eyes to see the Captain of the Lord of hosts and His angel armies surrounding you. Keep your eyes on Him and go as He leads; there are more for you than against you (2 Kings 6:16-17).

Delay is broken and you are moving into your Kairos time (Philippians 1:6). New wells are breaking open -- ways and means ot discipling the spiritually stagnant into their Christ identity. Wells (John 4:14) represents God Himself -- He calls Himself the "Spring of Living Water" (Jeremiah 2:13). This season the Holy Spirit is releasing passion and energy to Believers who have become weary.
In the months to come, you are going to see the impact of your "yes" upon your Christ calling -- the baton you have been carrying is going out. The borders around you will extend. Your tent pegs are stretching wider (Isaiah 54:2) and every ceiling around you is breaking. It has felt slow but it's working. Your yes in the dark has done more than you know.
Yes, there are about to be destiny-defining moments in the next few months that will alter the course of your path, because of your "yes" in the foggy unknown. There are going to be lights that turn on, doors that open, and treasures that unlock because against all odds, you dared to believe God and hold Him to His word.
The restrictions that were imposed on you, the assignments set to cage and contain you will be no match for your newfound breaker anointing that will annihilate every restraint that you encounter.
Unexpected fruit is about to flood out of your life -- the fruit of fresh wonder and adventure and new strategic pathways as a result of trusting God and stepping into the unknown. You will be surprised at what will effortlessly flood from you (John 7:38).
So today, stop looking around; give Him your roads. Let Him heal your road wounds. Let Him wash your feet and let Him speak love and affirmation into your soul -- the best is yet to come!

Maybe it doesn't look like anything is happening in your life. In fact, everything looks opposite of what God has promised to you. There is no "suddenly" in your forecast. Keep standing!
Seek His presence with a mindset of coming to understand and implement His purpose for your life so you are passionate about advancing His Kingdom. Knowing that you are to seek first His Kingdom, you enter His presence with joy and expectation. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past
Expect a downpour of God's blessings in your life, giving you the occasion to help others with their spiritual needs. In one moment's time, God will change everything. The delay has ended and you are walking in accelerated destiny. God always exceeds expectations. Dream big. Believe for the impossible. Ask for the unexplainable.
Through Him, we can proclaim that all things are possible. Our only occasion for victory is to affirm and meditate on our Oneness with Him and make no provision for the flesh or human arguments that would deny the power of Heaven.
"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us," - Ephesians 3:20

2 Chronicles 16:9 (NKJV), "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…"
This is a season where the Lord is showing Himself as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and is roaring over your life. The justice of God will be seen and recompense and restoration will flow. You have been in intense battles but great breakthrough is ahead as the Lord is going to show Himself strong on your behalf.
Psalm 126:5-6 (NASB), "Those who sow in tears shall reap will joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him."
The Lord has seen every tear, heard every cry, and every prayer of intercession. The Lord is aligning and positioning things. Suddenly, you will see the manifestation of the promise and you will enter your Promised Land! This is a season where the Lord is bringing manifestation of long-awaited promises, and double recompense will be seen. The Lord is rewarding the seeds of faith and perseverance sown by His people. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past as you consecrate yourself to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom and embrace your BREAKTHROUGH.

Galatians 6:9 (TPT), "And don't allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you've planted is coming!"
The Lord is encouraging you to not grow weary but to continue on through developing vision and bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom. In faith, continue to take light into darkness and make the most of every opportunity (Ephesians 5:16,17) moving forward in your Christ calling, knowing He is faithful, for your season of harvest is ahead. According to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, God ordains times and seasons in our lives.
The Lord is reminding you of past victories where you have seen Him move on your behalf. Remember His faithfulness and expect Him to again move on your behalf. You will see His goodness abound in your life and you will testify of His awesome faithfulness. Rejoice in God who holds all things in His hands and from whom all good things come. Continue to stand firm as the Lord is using all you have been through and all you are going through to build and increase you.

Bell ringers of hope, arise! Flood the earth with your song! Shake the deathbeds with visions of the dawn, and those in slumber with your shouts of joy! For you are called in this hour to remind the Church that her greatest days are here NOW. You are called to shatter demonic footholds with the fire of your Christ calling escalating to a greater glory that is right now filling the earth.
Right NOW God is calling you forth from the circumstances that have knocked the wind out of you and left you lifeless. You are breathing but you are lifeless. Hear the Spirit of the Lord declaring to you today, "Come forth!" -- see in your spirit a sudden surge of God's power, answers to prayer, and an outpouring of His Spirit. The unfolding of His plans for your next assignment is at hand as you keep praying, keep standing, and keep contending.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might." - Ephesians 6:10

Everything has already been provided by God and given to you. In Him, you have obtained an inheritance (1 Peter 1:4). HAVING BELIEVED, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The inheritance is there in Heaven's bank, waiting for a withdrawal. You can now go forth in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10) through your Christ calling (Ephesians 4:1).
God is saying that you have been and are sitting on a goldmine, on a heavenly vault full of treasure. You are sitting on everything God has provided for you -- although oblivious to it. Have you stopped hearing the knocking on your door (Revelation 3:20)? The treasure is yours; you take it by faith, and you receive it by faith.
You are meant to come into your full inheritance in your Christ identity. In Him, you reign. Another dimension is calling, beckoning to you to live as a son (daughter) of God! You are a king and priest of your God (Revelation 1:6 KJV). You are to rise up and reign with Him in this life.
Things are about to shift rapidly and accelerate. The day of sorrow and weeping has become the day of faith and strength. The suddenlies of God are upon you. You have been prepared, qualified, and made ready for this, and God is announcing the release. Heavenly trumpets are sounding (Revelation 8:2), calling the army divisions to get into position and take their place. You are moving out onto holy ground, hence the past is no longer a millstone around your neck.
"But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13,14)

In every new season, you must embrace change. Sometimes, you get in such a rut and routine in where you are going and what you are doing, that you lose the ability to adapt and change in the midst of changing situations. When you encounter roadblocks or detours, you don't always perceive that the Lord might be in your midst, bringing change to your direction.
You'll be driving in a new way in days ahead. You'll be moving down a stretch you've never moved down before, so watch the Holy Spirit as He leads you (Galatians 5:25). Pay attention to the sound that is in your atmosphere -- you will hear the sound of the wind in the mulberry trees (2 Samuel 5:24), signifying the change and direction you are to take.
You may not know exactly where you're going, but you do know Jesus, and He promises that that is enough. Press forward into your CALLING in Christ (Ephesians 4:1)! Going backward is not an option -- glory doesn't go backward. You are free, beloved! It's time to soar. "If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed" (John 8:36)
ZZ – 2426 DW79 11-16-2023 April 2022 Exhortations
There are lands that must be taken in 2024. No matter what it is, you can believe that God wants to do it. Be it according to your FAITH (Matthew 9:29). Don't limit your thinking, because God wants you to break out and break forth into the new thing that He has in store for you. It is good and healthy to FORGET the former things, as God wants to do a NEW THING. Learn how to MOVE ON and FORWARD into the NEW! Don't live in the past, but move into your future in the Lord.
The enemy came to shake and rattle you, to steal your voice -- there is a weighty impartation of BOLDNESS that He is releasing to you in the revelation of the power of His voice. You are beginning to experience the deep groaning of His Spirit that is bringing forth the birthing of the NEW.
He is releasing upon you a BOLDNESS that you have not yet walked in. It is a boldness to NOT BOW to culture. It is boldness to speak His wisdom WITHOUT APOLOGY, yet dripping in love. It is boldness to speak what He is speaking and what's on His heart with conviction and fire. It is the boldness to not bow to fear or the fear of man, but to speak His truth. It is the boldness to stand and allow Him to release His voice through you in creativity—in a new and fresh way. It is a boldness to stand, unafraid of the enemy, recognizing your authority in Him and speaking what is on His heart; a boldness that at times will cause you to feel like you are going against the grain.
He does not want you to get stagnant but to come alive! Believe for the impossible for that is what God specializes in. Faith is not for what is possible but for that which is IMPOSSIBLE. Only believe!
Your consecration to Him (Romans 12:1) has moved His heart deeply. He is entrusting you with more. He is increasing the expanse of new territories and gardens that He will have you tend with Him – where the move of His Spirit is. What will take place will truly be unprecedented. You had to let go and die to some things to come into the expanse of new birthings upon your life.
Raise your expectations this week to see the manifestation of HIS ROAR in your life; to step into the first fruits of a season of being marked by His fire that will ignite you.
You are His arrow that He will send forth with fire. Through all you have endured, He has been sharpening you. He has been preparing you to be sent forth into new assignments as His arrow, to pierce the darkness and to bring His light (Matthew 5:14); to release His fire into new spheres, new realms, and new places. Watch as God begins to shift and realign what has been in chaos and a mess - -prophesy this over yourself today, in Jesus' mighty name!
Now begin to ROAR at the things that are trying to intimidate you. Prophesy, shout, worship, and let God's voice that's inside of you out -- the enemy will RUN!

Jesus came to earth knowing the purpose of the Father for His life. Every born-again believer has a purpose (calling) destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth.
Much of the favor of God that you experience is tied to whether or not you are living your life pursuing that purpose.
"His Kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in Heaven..."
God desires His Kingdom to expand through you. As you learn to live as a habitation of God, filled with His Presence and glory, His authority will be released through your life.
Through being a vessel yielded in intimacy with God, there will be an increased manifestation of the glory of Heaven upon your life resulting in the blind eyes of others being opened as you disciple them into their identity in Christ and right standing with God.

Many Believers have felt that their future looks bleak, because nothing has changed or moved, and it had been like this for so very long. But know that many are coming into their predestined future; you are being given "hope and a future," like Jeremiah 29:11 says. We are in that season now – to see those changes happen. Unprecedented changes are coming to all long-standing, stagnant areas in your life -- they will no longer be dry and barren but filled with the fulfillment of His word.
You are crossing over into your promised land. Don't be afraid to move forward, and know that it is okay to let go of people, places, and situations because not everything can go where you are going. The Lord has so much more prepared for you; your most incredible days are now right in front of you.
Your days of desolation and isolation are over, for it is time to see your latter days which will be greater than your former days.

Can you hear Him knocking? Even His knock speaks of love. It is not a time for hesitation. It is not a time for excuses. The time is a kairos time. It is an appointed time. There is an encounter with Him waiting for you. There is oil for your lamp. It is a time to gather oil. It is a time to trim your wick.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me." (Revelation 3:20 )
Some believe that Elisha's burning of the plowing equipment represented an altar. God is calling you to the altar in this season. The altar is a place of sacrifice. The altar is a place where we give up and release those things that would keep us from fully embracing His call on our lives. The altar is a place where everything that is not of Him is burned up and consumed. He is a consuming fire.
Jesus is knocking, that you might welcome Him in. He wants to come and make Himself at home in your heart. He is cleaning house, rearranging things and bringing upgrades.
When Elisha received his call to follow Elijah, he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen. Elisha kissed his mother and father goodbye, slaughtered his yoke of oxen, then burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people (see 1 Kings 19). He made a clean break from the things that might hold him in the familiar in order to fully step into the new with a whole heart.
Can you hear Him knocking? Jesus is standing at the door of your heart in this hour, and He is patiently, but intently, knocking. His knocking is a compelling invitation. He knocks and waits for your response.
Jesus is inviting you to go with Him into the new assignment that will advance His Kingdom. It is a time of leaving the past behind to lay hold of the new.

It is time to rise from your slumber, being watchful and mindful. Those that have stood like midwives, watching over His word/promise to see its fulfillment, are under heavy attack, as the enemy knows the importance of their stand for the promise. Continue to stand. Have eyes to see. The hour of birthing the promise is at hand!
It is time to be ready, dressed in your battle armor, awaiting your marching orders. You have been trained and equipped, and it is time for forward movement; but first, renew your heart before Him. Receive again His cleansing, healing, and refreshing waters to wash away the dirt and grime (of the unbelief of His finished work) from the former seasons.
Release your sound; release your roar; release your decrees on the leading of His Spirit. Prophesy the words He gives you and see His Spirit breathe life into that which looks dead. He is roaring over your situation and bringing divine intervention. Watch His Spirit breathe life on the dormant seed of promise. Release your sound of expectation.
Use the keys of your Christ authority to unlock the harvest of your promises. The enemy is trying to silence you and cause you to retreat, but now is the time to release your sound, stand firm, take back all the enemy has stolen, and enter the season of promise and harvest.
"I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on Earth shall have [already] been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on Earth shall have [already] been loosed in Heaven." (Matthew 18:18 AMP)
His grace covers you, His grace releases to you everything you will need. As He said to the twelve, 'Follow Me.' Will you open the door and come with Him?

Revival is supernatural, therefore, you must pray, because when you pray, something happens on the inside of you. You silence your emotionally clogged soul in order to lean into the Holy Spirit. A transformation takes place as you experience the fire of God. Prayer is so much more than the spiritual action of invoking communication with God. Prayer is the intimate act of coming face-to-face with God, and that is what REVIVAL is all about – EXPERIENCING GOD.
In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 24 verse 32, two men met face to face with Jesus while walking on a road: "They asked each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us...?'" There is a fire, there is a burning, that is born out of a face-to-face encounter with Jesus. When you have the fire on the INSIDE of your heart, you not only see and perceive everything differently, but you also hear differently -- you move, you walk and you live differently. Everything about your life becomes unique, because you are now BRANDED BY THE FIRE.
There is movement, a ripple effect, because as you are changed on the inside, you then become a conduit through which the fire that is in us spreads. When you live in the FIRE, EVERYTHING IS IMPACTED. Those who have walked through the fire leave sparks everywhere they go. That's important to know, because it only takes a spark to light a fire! The most powerful weapon on the earth is the human soul on fire -- this is where REVIVAL starts...on the inside of our hearts.
Revival moves you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past.
Revival invites you to take light into darkness. Revival breaks delay and moves you into your Kairos time.
Hebrews 3:7 - "That is why the Holy Spirit says, 'TODAY when you hear his voice,'"
Your waiting for REVIVAL is over -- you are the revival -- you are the blessing that will take them to their next level in Christ.

The fire of the Lord revives you, frees you, and brings you closer to Him; where the fire of the enemy brings death, destruction, oppression, and bondage. "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify… and refine them like gold and silver…" (Malachi 3:3)
God is using this time to construct, build, and draw you into who you were called to be; that which, without the fire, you wouldn't have discovered otherwise.
Unique expressions and streams will emerge that have been "pulled out" or drawn out because of the heat and pressing. If you have been a sleeping warrior you will stand to your feet.
"Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, 'I am a warrior.'" (Joel 3:10)
The Lord is combining both the branding iron (used for marking deeply) with the pruning hook (used for cutting back and purifying) as a tool for raising up mighty warriors!
Since you have been through the fire as His 'firebrand,' you will rescue those who have felt weak and broken down in the battlefield, forging them into weapons. You will "hook" people out of darkness and bring them back into life. You will be the reviver of those who feel dead and beyond hope – like you once were. You will be the dispenser of Holy Ghost fire to those whose flames have been extinguished.
Just like after a fire burns land and new life comes forth, now you are going to see the new life budding up from the ashes and ruins.

There is no breakthrough without a life of sacrifice. God breaks through when you give your time and the other things that you have in the context of advancing His Kingdom.
A new song is going to erupt from you. Just as a rooster crows to announce the morning, your spirit is going to bubble forth the new day, song, and anthem. Just as fire comes and clears the debris, God has used the fire that the enemy sent against you to clear the very debris he put as a snare around you.
Soon the smoke is going to clear. You'll be able to see what you couldn't see before. Soon you'll see the path forward and the future that was veiled from you. The trial by fire is coming to an end, and soon you'll see how God uses it for your advantage. Your grief and sorrow are going to begin to lift from you like an old, tattered robe you no longer need. Give it to Jesus, right now. Let Him take it.
May every cracked and fractured place of your soul, heart, and mind be restored. The oil of Heaven is flowing over your head and pulling you out of the place you have become used to. The fire of Heaven is falling upon every bondage and demonic activity now as you read this. Every demon afflicting torment, you bind up, in Jesus' name!
Now be filled and baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire, in Jesus' name!

If you feel like you have lost your voice in this season your wells are being uncapped again. If you have lost your sound, your laughter -- shout and declare your victory roar: you are coming back with a fresh cry and a fresh song.
This will be your rebirth. Just as a baby endures the pressing and movement and then finally breathes its first breath; just as the mother walks through nine months of uncomfortable preparation and finally births the miracle – so too, will this moment be for you after all you have walked through.
The fresh cry is the sound of LIFE entering where you have only seen barrenness and unending sorrow. The fresh cry will be your sign that morning has come and mourning is leaving you. You will feel the shift and it will come out in your song. LIFE is about to come out of your mouth to counteract the noise.
"To all who mourn …he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory." - Isaiah 61:3
So let the new battle cry come forth from you now! Let the season of victory and fruit-bearing for God's Kingdom come forth. Keep your gaze on Jesus -- you will receive new perspective and vision -- you will birth the assignment God has been waiting to give you. and release the mighty thunderous sound of LIFE into the earth!

According to the scriptures, before you were born again, you were without the Anointed One (Jesus). If you were without the Anointed One you were also without the anointing. But now, since you are one with Christ, you are in the anointing of Jesus. The anointing is available to you in every situation you face to destroy every yoke of bondage.

The gospel doctrine of the Cross, that is, of dying to self is the only way to life in God. The true Christian life, which declares our oneness with Christ, is a life of sacrifice.(sacrificing our time and focuses on helping others with their spiritual life so they can be equipped for Kingdom service.
"Taking up our cross" means that we 'die' to the right to do as we please, and surrender 'unconditionally' to the Lordship of Jesus and our calling in Christ. This requires ongoing action and a life of moving from glory to glory as we bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom.
Romans 2:8 - "Jesus will pour our His anger and wrath on those who live for themselves."

The Holy Spirit’s desire is that we live every day in the fullness of the Lord, by seeing above and beyond what we can do to advance God's Kingdom, and that Jesus would receive glory and honor through His great power that works in us and through us.
This is the essence of what Paul writes about in Ephesians 3:20, 21 - "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
This spiritual dynamic that flows into us daily is the witness of the reality of the Holy Spirit’s power to enable us to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom. This plunges us into the river, which is widening the banks of spiritual realities and creating a tremendous overflow that will extend into the lives of those we are discipling into their Christ identity
Are you ready to be even more aggressive in the area of faith to see the impossible become possible for great and mighty things to take place through your Christ calling?

Jesus feeds us among the lilies. Lilies are summer flowers, and this is where He leads those who have gone through a winter season of grief and pain. He is calling to those whose hearts have faced the barrenness of winter to come with Him into the new season of healing and warmth, the place where blossoms appear once again. He will call to you to come out of the "winter of your soul" so that your heart does not become frozen and ceases to bear fruit for His Kingdom. Come to where He feeds His flocks among the lilies, a place of summer and fruitfulness.
"See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me." (Song of Solomon 2:11-13)

The enemy raises up people who are willing to hate you, using them as weapons to break you, yet God says, "NO!" He turns the enemy's weapons into an audience and puts on a show of His love for you! He makes them watch while HE PREPARES A TABLE FOR YOU (Psalm 23:5)! He displays His love for you and makes them watch. For it is their attacks against you that have made you the fearless warrior you've become. It is, indeed, the fire of their harassment that the Father has used to prepare you for the INTENSE BLESSINGS He's been waiting to bestow on you.
A fire like no other has come against you, but you've remained steadfast in your love and trust for the Father, and all the while He has watched over you and fought for you. Though the fire has been intense, the presence of God has been pervasive, invasive, and breathtaking. Sometimes, He's even carried you through Himself, but you are nearly there. Just one push and your enemy's oppression will give way to the glory of your next quest to advance God’s Kingdom that has been hidden under the ashes of the enemy's assault.
