March has gone out like a lion and not like a lamb as the saying goes. There has been fierce opposition from the enemy to get you distracted from what is coming. The "wind of change" from the Holy Spirit is going to continue to blow through the month of April and rearrange things. Get ready for sudden changes and a shift in the spiritual atmosphere in which it will become much easier to hear God.
Over the past several years, I've had to re-evaluate most of what I previously had been taught concerning God and Whom I perceived Him to be. You see, most everything I had learned, prior to my wilderness experience, came from the preconceived interpretations of all my past teachers. When we have a preconceived idea about something or someone, that perception becomes the lens through which we evaluate the event. As with most of us, our beliefs and interpretations are 'the gospel' until we begin to see the kingdom of God through the lenses of relationship.
I run a prophetic ministry and we give out prophetic words for people. Many times over though people don't receive their prophetic words for whatever reason and it actually brings upon it a penalty. Several months back a friend asked me to do a prophetic word for her best friend and she said he really needed it and was looking for something important in it. The Lord showed me several things for him, one of which the Lord showed me was he doesn't have a job and is looking for one earnestly and the Lord says he will help him find a job soon.
It was Bob Dylan who wrote and sang, "Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain." Live enough, and you'll find just how true that is. Life is full of contrasts. All of us experience both good and bad times. We all go through ups and downs, and have mountain and valley seasons. And we all, to some degree, have scars and stories to go with them. Our scars are often rooted in deep pain and hardship, but beautiful things can be birthed from them when God is involved in the healing process. And we shouldn't be dismissive of this.
Human beings live in two realities, we live in the physical reality of which most people are aware, but we also live in a spiritual reality of which many are either uncomfortable with, unfamiliar with or unaware of. Our five senses operating in the physical world is where we make decisions. But the spiritual world is a realm from which we have our authority.
One morning, in prayer, I saw a giant pit that had trapped many people — a pit of despair, of sin, of compromise, of failure and hopelessness. Then I saw the Great Shepherd extend His hand to pull OUT desperate souls, giving them a second chance and making all things new! I believe that in the church there is coming a season of tremendous restoration and preparation, for God desires to restore all that the locust has eaten in your life! He will give you double for your trouble and turn your scars into stars reversing the curse. Let me emphasize here that this is a strategic season and we are not to squander or waste it.
Within the body of Christ we've had enough abuse, backbiting, dishonoring and yes, even literal robbery of one another. Without being aware of it, many have actually been tricked into robbing our brothers and sisters in Christ. Opposition has used this deceptive plot against us, causing us to believe we haven't been robbing one another. Our adversary the devil, attempts to tear us down and even destroy us and our relationships with other Christian brothers and sisters.
I had a visitation from the Lord on March 4, 2016 at 3:01 AM. In it He took me to the 'Halls of Heaven' where a great Company of Prophets was assembled. In the Hall I recognized a few that were present: Katherine Kuhlman, Aimee Semple McPherson, John G. Lake and Smith Wigglesworth. Many others I had never seen, or heard of, before, and their clothing suggested that some were from 1,000 years ago. I was so overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit.
The breath of God brings us back to life. It is refreshing. There is something about the spontaneous aspect of prophetic worship that every believer needs. To read something or sing something that is "God-breathed" has eternal impact. When our writing and sound has it's origins out of heaven then it will bring transformation in the earth. Earthly sound will only take things on the downward spiral, but heaven's sound elevates the heart heavenward.
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE NUMBER ONE! Stand beside another and hold their arms up in the cause…and God will send you those who will stand with you. God did not call Joseph and Daniel or Esther to be the top of the mountain as a number one - but as the indispensable number two in support. Your place may be alongside a team that is collectively going to the top. If you insist on being a solo act when you are called to support someone else you.
