New Dawn in Christ

A New Dawn in Christ

I will send a noise into the earth. The earth will begin to shake and begin to move apart. Underneath the sea there will be a blast, and the earth will know that I am still the Lord. I change not and I will move things about as I will. Nations shall rise against nations. For the earth shall see me as I really am, God Almighty and full of glory. Order shall come once again upon the earth.

Children shall look upon my face and begin to speak as I give them utterance. I will send signs in the heavens and wonders on the earth. The things man has destroyed I will restore. I am the restorer of those things that are broken. The earth groans for my sons to show themselves. I am placing my people in key positions on the earth that they may rule and take dominion once again. Let joy rise in your hearts for I have spoken. In the midst of chaos, I, the Lord, will bring peace. In all things give me thanks. I will pour out my mercy on the earth. The end of this age is coming. A new dawn is here. Fear not for I am with you.

Prophetic Word for 2013

The glory of God is a consuming fire.

The glory of God shall be seen in 2013. The world is searching for answers and relief from troubled times. The only true answers and relief are in the glory of God. His sons (male and female) shall manifest the great light and God will be exalted on the earth. Darkness will have to flee in his mighty presence.

Rise and shine for your light has come. My glory, says the Lord, shall surround you and my fire shall consume you. All that shall be seen in you is my glory and my image. As I am so shall you be in the earth. Go forth and be the fire. Expose the evil and consume it. Reveal the truth and walk in it. Those that sit in their darkness and despair shall see your light and run to it. Be ready to give the reason why you are victorious. Many will hear and come to know me. I am that I am.



 

Yearnings of the Spirit Man

When a person is born again (or saved), his/her spirit man is recreated with new life (John 3:3; Romans 6:4). Then the spirit man must be nurtured and developed. Without spiritual food and development, the spirit man remains malnourished, impoverished and imprisoned. The word of God is the food for spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:2). Prayer is also needed to develop the spirit man.

After the spirit is recreated then the soul (mind, will and emotions) can be renewed and saved (Ephesians 4:23-24). It takes the anointed word of God to renew the mind and save the soul (James 1:21). Until the mind is renewed, every believer experiences a struggle between the recreated spirit and the old nature or flesh which wants to control the spirit man (Galatians 5:17). When the flesh rules the spirit man, the result is carnality. The carnal mind is hostile towards God (Romans 8:7). When the mind is renewed so that the spirit man rules the flesh there will be oneness in spirit and soul.

Who really knows the spirit man? There are a few important things known about the spirit man. First, the spirit man yearns for heavenly things rather than earthly or mundane things. The spirit man will seek those things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God (Colossians 3:1-2). The spirit man yearns for fellowship with the Lord. Second, the spirit man must be liberated to fulfill purpose and destiny. It takes the Holy Spirit to free the spirit man. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).

The more a believer communes with the Holy Spirit the freer the spirit man becomes. A good example to help understand the concept of freeing the spirit man relates to the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead (John 11:41-44). After Jesus called Lazarus from death to life, he still had to be loosed from the grave clothes. Likewise, people who experience the new birth sill have to be loosed from all the things that would otherwise keep them in bondage. Loose the spirit man and let him go free. Third, the spirit’s general purpose is to yield fruit for the Lord. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23 ). When believers catch hold of what their spirit man says then their mind becomes renewed and fruitful.

Prayer is critical for releasing the spirit man. Both the Old and New Testaments are full of many powerful prayers that God heard and answered. Consider the prayers of Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah and Daniel that the Lord answered and, in many cases, is still answering (Genesis 20:17; Deuteronomy 9:26; 1 Kings 18:36-38; Psalm 72:18-20 and Daniel 6:10). Jesus prayed for believers in all generations in His priestly prayer before his crucifixion and resurrection (John 17:6-26). Many of Paul’s prayers have become model prayers for believers (Ephesians 1:15-23; 3:14-21). Believers can operate a vibrant prayer life by studying the prayers shown in the word of God. However, just repeating these prayers does not ensure that the spirit man will be brought forth in his fullness. Reliance on the Holy Spirit is needed for the full development of the spirit man.

The eighth chapter of Romans contrasts the carnal man and the spirit man. In that chapter Paul explained that the intellectual or carnal mind cannot know what should be prayed in order to bring forth the spirit man in his fullness. For we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily (Romans 8:26b AMP). From this verse it is clear that believers cannot have the intellectual knowledge concerning how to pray or for what to pray in order to liberate the spirit man. The spirit man hungers for things that the intellectual mind cannot understand. We do not know for what our spirit hungers. The spirit man understands things that the intellectual mind does not understand. In particular, the spirit man can have an understanding of a believer’s purpose and destiny that the carnal mind cannot comprehend. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? (1 Corinthians 2:11a) Both the development and release of the spirit man are important for purpose and destiny to be fulfilled.

Walk in the Meadow of the Lord's Glory

Walking in His Meadow

I have set before you a meadow of beauty, but you must cut away the thorns and the briars in order to see my glory. I will come and walk with you in the cool of the evening, and we will have fellowship one with the other. Take up your sword for I have given you authority to rid yourself of all those things that might hinder. Look unto the future with hope and with an awareness that I am always near. The enemy might come, but he will flee seven ways. Unlock my mysteries for I desire to reveal my mysteries to those who will cherish them and hold them in theirs bosom. Quickly eliminate any attempt to put you into a stronghold. I will show you any entrapments and deliver you from all evil. I, the Lord, have spoken and no man shall stop what I am doing. There are people who are crying out in the wilderness for they have no bread and water. Fill your pouches with provision, and I will send you to those in need.

Run with the Chariots

Chariot of Fire

I am putting you on alert this day. The forces of evil are gathering together. The fight I have called you to is not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers of evil. Make sure that you are fit and cannot only run with the horses but with the chariots of fire. Shout to the Lord all you people and praise the Most High for being the victors. The weapons of your warfare are not of this world, and you must ascend to the throne to receive the strength that will enable you to mount up and not be weary but to defeat your foes.

Enter in through the straight gate for narrow is the way for those who would win. Many will fall in the broad way for they know not my power and my might. They will be trampled underfoot by the huge creatures that are invading the land. Make ready your swords and your arrows of steel. Do not hesitate or pull back from your destiny and your purpose. In the times that lay ahead, there will be no time to say “Surely I have time, and today is not the day”. The gap between those who believe and those who do not is becoming broader and broader, and many are in the valley of decision. There is a time coming when water will turn to blood. There will be wonders in the sky and disturbances under the earth. Look up and focus on the goodness that is to come to you as you come to me, says the Lord.

Sign of the Prophet [Infographic]

An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet (Matthew 12:39). The prophetic voice is becoming stronger in the earth today. The office of prophet is one that carries a great responsibility, because a prophet speaks for the Lord. The Lord will not allow his words to be polluted by being mixed with carnal thinking. His words are like a pure stream of water. Here are six important things that a true prophet does. The prophetic voice is one of God’s important gifts for the body of Christ. Take time to find out about the prophetic voice, and then open your heart to the true prophetic voice. It will change your life. The purpose of this infographic is to explain the prophetic voice, so people can understand that it is very important to receive God’s prophetic gift.

Prophetic Word for China, Vietnam and Mongolia

Recently, I saw a huge net being placed over China, Vietnam and Mongolia. This net represents God’s Word going forth in these countries to bring people into the Kingdom of God. He has fishermen who will cast their nets, and God himself will command the fish to come into them. He is holding back the forces of evil in these countries to give time for many to come to know Him and be equipped. The work must be done quickly. Favor is being poured out for this task to be accomplished. There will be favor with government officials and with others who have influence with the people. Invitations will go out to come to these countries and bring the love of God to the masses. Children and youth will especially be touched by the message of the Kingdom of God. Remote fishing villages will hear the gospel, and many will be healed from diverse sicknesses and crippling diseases.

Empowerment for Women

In order to reach your destiny and purpose in life you must be empowered by the Lord Jesus. He told his disciples, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19 KJV). Only by receiving God’s power will you be propelled into your eternal purpose.

This post contains an infographic explaining how to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Presently, I am teaching the four-part series on Empowerment for Women in various locations. Please contact me if you are interested in the series being taught in your area.

Rule in Every Situation

His riders come thundering!

In the midst of trouble and turmoil I, the Lord, bring peace, and I bring stillness. Though war rages, the righteous will rule and the wicked will perish. For I am the light, says the Lord, and I bring an illumination and manifest the truth. Many are burdened down with their own agendas. They have no time for they say, “I must be here and I must be there“. They are doing things that do not matter in the eternal realm. I say evaluate and examine to see if you be in faith. For faith pleases me and will keep you going toward your goal. Faith will open up the doors. My word of faith is a hammer and a fire. It will cause those things that look like hindrances in the natural to disappear. Be patient, says the Lord, for my presence will destroy your enemies. Walk not as men but as gods. Your position on this earth is to rule and have dominion in every situation. Listen and you will hear my riders. They will come thundering and trample the pestilence and the evil in the land. Let my joy give you strength for the days to come when you see and when you hear the work of the enemy. Know this, says the Lord, that the Greater One resides in you.

God Speaks to His Chosen

O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, how I weep for you that you might come to repentance and bow before me. Your walls are broken and your gates are unattended. Look up for your redemption draws close, closer than you think. I will send fire into your mist. Your old men shall fall, and your young men shall cry out for mercy. Blood will run in your streets, and the children shall hide in the corners. You have slain my men of wisdom sent to you and called them false, but I am the one to whom you will answer. I am the one who holds and upholds all things. What will you say then? What will you do? Come unto me, O Jerusalem, and I will give you rest. Abide in my camp, and you will have plenty. Your winepresses will burst out with new wine, and your barns will have abundant grain. There will be no lack for the Lord will be your supply. Hearken unto me all you who have an ear for I speak and the earth trembles. I speak and the lightning comes. I will strike down the evil and uphold the good. Sounds of weeping and despair will be in your ears. Hearken to my voice, and you will have life and life more abundantly. 

(Note: Natural Jerusalem is the capital city of the nation of Israel but spiritual Jerusalem is the Church as shown in Hebrews 12:22-23. Hence this prophetic word applies to the Church today, as well as the capital of Israel.)

God Roars for His People

Though the branches fall off, the tree still stands. Though the rains will come, the waters will not overtake you. Though the fire burns, you will not be consumed. Those who wait upon me, says the Lord, I will lift them up to the mountain top. Though I speak to you in riddles and mysteries, I will reveal myself to you. For little by little you will hear and understand.

Though the giants rise up and with pride they cry out, “We are big and we are strong, and we shall prevail”, but I say that those who are called by my name shall run and jump and shout the victory. To whom shall I show my greatness but to those who believe and have put their trust in me.

The great light shines out of the darkness. Those groping in the dark will see the light and will travel to the light. The light will penetrate their souls. There is a way between here and there. It is a guarded way, and only a few have found it. I will send forth a burst of fire. It will begin in the east, and it will consume the rubble and houses of clay. The fire will travel through the air and will explode in the west. The people will see the signs in the sky and will hear a great roar. I roar out of Zion. Pieces of the explosion will be found in the desert.

War against Your Soul

There is a war going on in the spiritual realm. The war is against your soul, which includes your mind, will, emotions and feelings. The enemy wants to see you defeated, but Jesus gives you victory. When you speak the word of God, the enemy must flee. Jesus causes you to have victory in all things and at all times. Thank the Lord who is able to make you a winner in every situation.

Peace: A Mighty Weapon of God

Peace is a mighty weapon of God. It pulls down strongholds and pushes back enemy forces. Jesus spoke peace to the storm, delivering his disciples. Peace should rule in your heart and lives each day. Speak peace to your storms in the name of Jesus, and see the situation change.
