"The Lord Says: I'm Giving You a New Normal"
Lori Suiter, Lancaster, PA

On a recent trip, the Lord started to speak to me about four things. I know these things pertain to myself, but I think they will also encourage many others who are going through similar struggles. I write not from a place of achieving these things, but it's more like we are taking a journey together and I'm sharing what I hear along the way. Here are some things I heard Him saying to me.
1. Expect Surprises
My recent trip was a complete surprise to me. All I knew was that we were going "somewhere warm" and that "I needed my passport". I realized that these are the situations where I function at my best because I can't overthink it. I joked to my husband that if anyone ever wanted me to speak publicly this is how they would need to do it—last minute and in the moment. I started to realize that I can overthink myself out of anything, even the things God may want me to do, and that needs to stop. On impulse, I'm in the moment and thriving!
Do we trust Him enough to surprise us? Are we OK with only "need to know" information?
2. New Heights in Him
As we were sitting on the taxiway waiting to take off, I was suddenly aware of how many American Eagle planes were all around us. I knew it was one of those moments that meant more than face value. I felt the Lord saying, "I am rising up My eagles (prophets) in this season." I also felt a caution from Him about not allowing impatience, frustration, fear or distraction to tempt you to veer off of the runway that He has you on.
He said, "Make sure you have your destination and radar set on Me and that your headset is on and tuned into My frequency only, and I will direct your steps. You must discipline yourself to have eyes and ears for only Me in order for Me to take you to the heights I want to take you to. I'm giving you sniper-like vision, but you must be looking from Heaven's perspective in order to see things clearly. You must lose sight of the ground (natural) so you can truly learn to fly with Me (supernatural). You must become accustomed to heights instead of fearing them. I'm giving you a new normal."
3. Trust Beyond What You Can See
I love takeoff! It was beautiful as we were rose through the sky and I looked down on the city below. It was definitely a different perspective. Suddenly what used to be big was very little in my eyes. Then we hit the cloud layer. As we climbed, we rose above that altitude so that the clouds looked like a soft floor to a whole other world. The sun was shining brightly and clearly and there was a sense of calm, peace, and trust at this height. When I tried to look down at the ground, I couldn't see anything from Earth. It was no longer an option. There would occasionally be a break in the clouds and then I would get a glimpse of what was going on below, but I couldn't get a sense of security or direction from the ground anymore.
What struck me was the thought that the Earth didn't cease to exist merely because I couldn't see it anymore, just like the sun doesn't cease to exist just because we can't see it from the ground sometimes. We cannot fall for the lie that God isn't currently fully engaged and active in our lives when we can't see what He's doing behind the clouds. When we get Earth-based, we forget to look up and realize that is where we are grounded. In Christ, we are grounded, grafted into Him. He wants to get us to the point where we are constantly looking up, living up, coming up and rising up as we live our lives out on Earth.
4. Don't Look Down—Take That Leap!
There was a moment once we got to our destination when we were sitting next to a pool, which had a high cliff as part of its architecture. People were occasionally walking up and jumping off of it. They had two levels—a lower one and a higher one. I was pretty much determined to go off the higher one but I know myself, and I was not going to allow myself to think about it too long because I knew I would change my mind. I could hear the Lord telling me that the key was to not think about it too long, to not look down or hesitate, but to simply JUMP! So I did. It ended up being higher than I had thought, but I did it!
It is only through doing the things that scare us that we conquer that fear! It is only through doing things at high altitudes that we get used to the height, and pretty soon we are soaring! I can't imagine being Earth-bound ever again. Do not allow the enemy to get you to second guess what God has said by making you concerned about what could go wrong or with what people will do or say!
He is giving us a new normal. He is taking our focus off of the natural and onto the supernatural. It's time to fully disengage from the things and mindsets that hinder forward movement. Don't be discouraged. He wants to surprise you! You are getting ready to take off! Focus on Him and discipline yourself to hear only His voice and reject all distractions.
When He calls you to jump, JUMP! Don't look down, don't second guess what you heard, just leap. Whether it is doing something, praying for something or speaking to someone, just do it. You will become accustomed to the new heights and it will become your new home. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Forget What Is Behind and Step Into The New.


  • A word from the Father:
    My people, listen well to your heavenly Father this day. For you are now in a time of unprecedented miracles and movements of My Spirit to bring forth My will and My kingdom throughout the earth. Howbeit, I need your wills to align with Mine if you are going to be used by Me in these last and great days.
    Now listen. Does My written word not teach you to forget those things which are behind and reach for what is ahead, and press toward the goal of the prize of your high calling in Christ Jesus? So then, if there ever was a time for this, it is now.
    For I have birthed you all in the earth realm and called you out for such a time as this. And now is the time for you all to step into your destiny in Christ Jesus.
    Therefore, I need you all to make the declaration to forget what is behind you. Forget your failures. Forget your disappointments. Forget all that you feel has wronged you in any way. Forget and forgive all offenses that have been done to you, whether by a person, a government, or any other entity. Forget it all and step into the new. For surely I tell you; you have all entered into a new day in the Spirit.
    Now then, for those who have held onto or struggled to overcome your shortcomings and weaknesses of the flesh, give them all over to My Son Jesus. Now is the time to be set free from all that hinders you from entering into your destiny.
    You are all on the verge of witnessing the greatest of miracles and harvest in your personal lives. But for this to happen, you MUST let go of the past and reach out to what I would have for each of you individually and as a corporate body.
    I want you all to seek Me in what My will is for each of you. For your destinies will only be found in My will for your lives. Therefore, take no thought on My purpose for you because My thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and I will call many of you to areas in which you may not have any former education or training, both in the spiritual realm and the natural. So then, for you to accept the destinies I have for each of you, you MUST lay down your preconceived ideas of who you think you are and what you can accomplish. For surely ALL things are possible with Me as My Spirit empowers you to accomplish My will for your lives.
    Some of you are already in the position in which I will use you. As for others, I may need to move you to another place, which could be another city, another state, or simply another job or a new business. But whatever it is, you MUST obey if you are going to fulfill your destiny which I have for you.
    No then, for those of you who feel that I only use the most righteous or the most spiritual to conduct my miracles or to minister to others; you must lay this belief down. For I am calling all who are willing to be led by My Spirit in these last days. Of course, this includes your calling to come out from among all that is unclean and pursue righteousness. But you do not have to already be perfected in order to be used for My purposes. Only stay the course that has been set out for you and I shall conduct miracles through many of you.
    Now for all those who don’t know what your purpose or destiny is; just keep seeking Me and I shall reveal it to you. And once I do, do not doubt in your heart My ability to perform what I have planned for you. For absolutely NOTHING shall be impossible for those who have the faith and a willing heart to be used by My Spirit in these last days.
    My people, I love you all so deeply and you do not understand what is soon to come upon the earth. Even the most righteous will tremble in fear if they are not grounded by faith in My word and resting in My peace that surpasses all understanding. For even though it is not the end of time yet, it is on the horizon. And even though you have been warned by My written word that the last days shall be like the days of Noah, you do not understand what all was going on in those days. Many of you may be aware of the giants who once roamed the earth, however, that is not all that has been hidden about the days of Noah. Much will be revealed in the end-time and I need My people to be prepared. Yet for now, only do as I lead each of you to do and I will prepare you for all that is to come in the last days.
    Therefore, I entreat you all to get alone with Me and make a declaration to forget what is behind you and reach ahead to your high calling in Christ Jesus, no matter how impossible it may seem. Do this, and watch what I shall do within each of you. And 2019 shall be a year that marks the beginning of your destinies. I love you all dearest ones and only desire the best for you. Therefore, it is imperative that you heed this word to leave the past behind and step into the new. Do this, and you shall not be disappointed…..

HE IS RELEASING STRATEGY FOR STRENGTH

by Lana Vawser Ministries
Over the past week or so I have been hearing the Lord repeating over and over "I am releasing STRATEGY for STRENGTH".
Instantly I had a vision and I saw MANY weary warriors where the battle, struggles, fires and trials they have endured have left them really weary.
The Lord's voice thundered over them "I am releasing STRATEGY for STRENGTH"
Instantly i knew that an invitation was being released from the Lord to come and hear HIS strategy that He is releasing right now. I felt this strong sense in the atmosphere that it is crucial to be hearing and following HIS strategy alone, because the enemy is attempting to lure God's people into 'false strategies' not flowing from the heart of God to weary them and burn them out.
The Lord showed me that following Him in obedience to the strategy He is releasing there will be a MAJOR strengthening of body, soul and mind. The Lord showed me hearts being healed. Torment of the mind being broken. Physical issues being healed and a DEEP rest coming to the hearts of God's people.
In this strategy for strength there will be a major strengthening of faith that will take place. The flourishing of the faith rested life (Hebrews 4:11) that will blossom all around. Many have become so weary from fighting the lies of the enemy, the bombardment of continual circumstances, winds of opposition and turmoil of the heart, but the Lord has heard and He is releasing His strategy for strength. This time will be so important for many as they will be reestablished, refreshed, rejuvenated and restored.
STRENGTH FOR THE FUTURE
The Lord also showed me that not only is He releasing strategy for strength and restrengthening right now, He is releasing strategy for STRENGTH for the future. I kept seeing the word "LONGEVITY" in the spirit and the Lord was speaking that He is releasing strategy and divine wisdom for His people to walk in that whatever He has them build and put their hands to LASTS. 
I felt the heart of God so strongly for LONGEVITY. The enemy has been coming against many recently with his many lies but all screaming the same thing - everything OPPOSITE to LONGEVITY. Friends, that's a LIE! God is building and working deep within the body of Christ right now to mature, to strengthen and to draw us up higher into living by faith and His reality. 
The strategy of God right now will bring you life, strengthen you and refresh you.
Lean your ear close to His chest and let Him speak His strategy to you for there is a divine STRENGTHENING coming upon you.

My First Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars,
Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I’m spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can’t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description,
To hear an angel sing.

I can’t tell you of the splendor,
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you just imagine Christmas,
With our Savior, face to face?

I’ll ask Him to light your spirit,
As I tell Him of your love;
So then pray for one another,
As you lift your eyes above.

Please let your heart be joyful,
And let your spirit sing.
For I’m spending Christmas in Heaven,
And I’m walking with the King!

I know how much you miss me;
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I’m not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift
From my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory
Of my undying love.

After all “love” is the gift,
More precious than pure gold.
It was always most important
In the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other
As my Father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings
Or the love He has for you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear.
Remember I’m spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year!

I was watching the Awakening Australia Melbourne live on a recent weekend, and I was so overwhelmed by the amazing speakers, the worship that was next level, and the presence of God that was tangible. I was undone by the unity and oneness of heart of the Australian people.
The desperate cry of a nation asking God to align their hearts with the Father’s to fulfill Heaven’s mandate, to see the promises of God given to this nation manifested. I felt a positioning in the spirit was going on—the way a midwife finds the optimal position for a woman to give birth.
As I was weeping, the reality of this is actually happening; all the tears of intercession, decreeing and declaring over many decades had caused the shift we so desperately desired and are now witnessing.
On the second night as Heidi Baker was speaking, the Lord said to me clearly, “I am Commissioning Australia. I am sending Australia out into the nations. There are also others who will go to the people groups within her great shores.”
Clearing for Takeoff
In a vision, I saw a large angel on the tarmac of what looked liked an international airport. He had flags in his hands and upon looking closer, I saw that they were Australian flags. He was motioning as if clearing an aircraft for takeoff from the control towers instructions. It was a continuous flow; he never took a break. No sooner had one aircraft left then another was taxing down the runway. Plane after plane was leaving our shores. Every plane was white in color with a large, red Cross painted on the side like medics. I felt the Lord say that they have been equipped to revive. They carry the oxygen of Heaven on board. (Photo via Unsplash)
Commissioning = Authority
With commissioning comes a greater authority and a new level of awareness of intimacy to the Australian Church. Also it releases the teaching gift in a greater measure.
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.'” (Matthew 28:18–20)
This is a time for leaping forward into the prophetic words spoken over individuals, ministries and over this great nation. This is a time of birthing the dreams, visions and promises of God given from the inception of this nation.
The Great Southland is Arising
The waiting is over. The labor is finished. This is the last push needed to complete the birthing process. Australia, you are about to be a proud parent of sons and daughters ready for the harvest.
The emerging of the prophetic and apostolic voices coming from Australia over the last decade was done with the intentionality of the Lord. These voices have been the forerunners, the ambassadors to the nations. They have opened the spiritual doors for many others to now be sent on divine assignments. The Lord was saying, “Thank you,” and honoring them for their labor unto the Lord.
This Scripture came to me: Psalm 2:7-8, “…He said to me, ‘You are My son; today I have become your Father. Ask Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.'”
Australia has learned to be a son, and is allowing the Father to take His place in the heart of the nation. The Father is whispering in the ears of His people, “Ask Me for your inheritance. I want to give you the nations, I want you to possess the gates.”
Stewardship is needed at this time. Glory is a precious commodity of Heaven to be valued and respected. There will be clear pathways for people to follow. Things that seemed impossible and distant will come into clear focus. The eyes of the Australian seers will become sharp like eagles; they will see things from above. They will be alerted to the enemies schemes. (Photo via Unsplash)
I saw a council in Heaven sitting at a round table assigned to Australia. The members had gray beards, representing wisdom. I believe the Lord was saying that there will be apostolic groups or councils that will be given God’s wisdom to rule spiritually in this nation. They will play an important part in overseeing the spiritual well-being of the nation. They will also act as watchman on the wall to protect Heaven’s outpouring. Apostolic leaders have already been prepared for these positions, those who have no fear of man but will possess the fear and knowledge of the Lord which is the beginning of all wisdom.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)
Australia, hear the voice of the Lord! Go!

The Highest Human Felicity | Bobby Conner 2018

Heaven’s Wind is On the Way! (Prophetic Insight)

God never promised us that our life of faith would be easy.
And today, you may be facing an impossibility—an obstacle that is looming large on your horizon. But know this: Your Father is never out of options.
The wind of Heaven is blowing, and God is about to move on your behalf.

In Pursuit of God, But Out of Options

Even the Biblical heroes of faith found that obedience to God could lead them to a tight spot. Take Moses, for example.
God instructed Moses to take the people of Israel by a route that led them right into danger! (Ex 14)
With the Egyptian army pursuing them, and a sea barring the way ahead of them, it seemed Israel had only two options. Would they drown as they fled into the sea, or face death, punishment and slavery (again) from their enemy?

Moses and Israel may have been at an impasse—but God had a wind.

When Moses obeyed God’s command and raised his staff over the sea, the Lord began to act.
And ‘…all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided…’ (Exodus 14:21 NIV)
When it seems like you have run out of options in pursuit of God’s will, stop and look to Heaven.
Your Father already has a plan—to confound your enemy and deliver you.

Feel His wind blowing. That obstacle is about to become a passageway into your next chapter with Him.


In Transition, With No Clear Way Ahead

Perhaps you find yourself in a time of transition. You’ve seen God move powerfully, but you find yourself in a difficult situation, and are not sure how to proceed.
Noah spent much of his life building an ark in obedience to God. As a result, God used his boat to save his family, along with livestock and animals as a flood ravaged the earth.
  • They were safe, but there was a complication—as far as Noah’s eyes could see, from horizon to horizon, there was water.
The earth was covered with floodwaters and there was no place to land the boat. How long would they be stuck on board, with limited food and space?

Noah was faced with an insurmountable problem, but God had a wind.

‘But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.’ (Genesis 8:1 NIV)
God opened His Heavenly storehouse. And as that wind blew over the earth, the waters receded and the earth began to dry.
So today, if you have done your best to follow the call of God, but right now have no idea how it can possibly work out—be encouraged.

Your Father has not forgotten you. Feel His breath of life blowing over your situation—the Holy Spirit is working on your behalf.


The Burden Seems Too Heavy to Bear

Let’s be honest. In our walk with God, there may be times when hardships in our service for Him start to weigh us down.
And maybe you haven’t always got it right—you may even have experienced fallout from a mistake you made. Or, you’ve been struggling with your attitude recently.

Today, know that God’s grace and forgiveness is abundant towards you. It is time to turn your heart Heavenward again.

In Numbers 11, the lone burden of leadership was heavy upon Moses. Faced with the impossibility of meeting the people’s craving for meat, along with their ugly criticism, Moses did not know how he could continue.
At one of Moses’ lowest places—when he could see no way out, God had an answer.
God told Moses to choose seventy leaders who would share the governance of Israel. The Holy Spirit was about to fall on the nation’s leaders and anoint them.
But there was more, God announced. The people craved meat, and they were about to get so much of it they would loathe it, and never ask for it again.
At this point Moses went from hopelessness to unbelief. ‘Lord, this is impossible!’

Moses saw an impossibility, but God had a wind.

Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction.’ Numbers 11:31 NIV
Today, know that whatever impossible situation you face, no obstacle is so large that it cannot be swept aside by the move of God.
Your Father has a wind.
He can make a way, provide a miracle and change the hardest of hearts.

Lift your face to Heaven and feel the breeze. For the breath, the wind of God is on the way.


Soaring on the Wings of Spirit-Wind

‘He stretched heaven’s curtain open and came to my defense. Swiftly he rode to earth as the stormy sky was lowered. He rode a chariot of thunderclouds amidst thick darkness, a cherub his steed as he swooped down, soaring on the wings of Spirit-wind.’
(Psalm 18:9-10, TPT)

Prayer and Declaration

Today I declare, my God has a wind! Thank you Lord, that your Spirit is moving on my behalf. You are the Keeper of Promises, and You are faithful. And even though I cannot see the answer right now with my eyes, I choose to declare it with my mouth. As Moses held up that staff in the face of the impossibility, I hold fast to my confession of faith.
  • The favor that’s working for me is greater than the opposition that’s working against me!
Lord, You make a way where there seems to be no way, and you are making a way for me.
You are Healer.
You are Deliverer.
You are Provider.
And when You act, nothing can stand in Your way.
Over and above all, I rejoice in the fact that You are with me and shall never leave me. I delight in You Jesus, my Lord and my God.
Amen

Discernment can Propel You Into an Encounter with God’s Glory

The gift of discernment of spirits is a powerful weapon in times of spiritual warfare, and can be of great assistance when ministering freedom to individuals.
  • And those with a gift of discernment have the extraordinary privilege of being able to perceive the Spirit’s anointing!
Yet many who have the gift of discernment have difficulty knowing what to do with what they are feeling or sensing.
In this recently updated third edition, I have added a chapter on five specific spiritual attacks discerners face and how to overcome each one. I have revised other chapters, added new content and finished with an inspirational chapter on how the gift of discernment can propel you into an encounter with God’s glory.
‘Unlocking The Gift Of Discernment’ incorporates wisdom from Enliven Blog as well as additional valuable material on how to be protected as a discerner in times of spiritual warfare.
A word from our Lord, Savior, and King:

My people, listen well to Me this day. Truly, these are exciting times in which you live.
I am aware that the enemy of your soul is sorely coming against many of you in your bodies and/or circumstances. However, this is because he fears what is ahead. For I declare to you this day that you have stepped over the threshold into a new era and a new day, the day of My power. Therefore, stand in faith against the enemy and I will lead you through your trials to victory.
I would have you all to know this one thing, there is absolutely NOTHING that can stop you from becoming overcomers in these last days except for your own selves. For I am pouring out an unprecedented grace for your triumphant victory. But you MUST access this grace by your faith. Oh, it will not take much faith on your part, for just the faith of a mustard seed will be sufficient for the power of My Spirit to work in and through you in these last days.
So get ready for great breakthroughs and fulfillment of long-awaited promises. These are the days in which you can make great strides in your own personal life. You can now gain victory in areas which seemed impossible in days past. For I am with you to bring you into your destinies. All you need to do is call upon My name and ask for My help. I am here to bear you up, My little ones.
Now listen, the enemy fears My great army that shall arise in these last days. Therefore, he is waging war against all of mankind, especially those who are Mine. His screams are loud as he uses the media, government powers, and voices of many. He is screaming fear, defeat, and distractions. But you are all Mine and you have My power to overcome the wiles of the devil. Therefore, do not listen to him, but listen to and focus on Me instead. Ask of Me, and I will give you wisdom and discernment so that you shall know the truth and will not be deceived by the lies of the enemy. For I am working behind the scenes to make a way for My people and My end-time army to assemble and arise. But the enemy would have you focus on what he is doing.  Don’t give in to this.
My people, I am so excited over you all. Yet, I must give you this warning. Even though these are the days for great triumph, there are also great dangers ahead for many of you. For the enemy of your soul will try everything he’s got to derail you from your destiny. With this; keep in mind that you cannot afford to play with sin and the world any longer. For if you do, you could fall into a deep pit that could cost you great loss in both this life and the next. Therefore, stand firm in the liberty which I have set you free and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Do not even flirt with temptation, for you could get caught in a snare that will lead to your undoing. You do NOT want this to happen in these last days.
Now then, rejoice in the freedom and grace that I now give you. And fight the good fight of faith. For even though great victory is now yours for the taking, you must still take it. I will not do this alone for you, but instead, I will do it WITH you according to your faith. And as you take My hand and decree My promises over your life and your flesh, and do as I say, you will gain victory in many areas and make great strides in your spiritual journey.

My people, you MUST overcome in this season.  For I am preparing My end-time army and My army MUST and WILL be free from all entanglements, and overcome the devil, the flesh, and the world, just as I did when I walked in the flesh.
So hear Me well when I tell you to stretch out your faith and take hold of your freedom from all sin and weights that so easily beset you. This is your time to overcome by My blood, the voice of your testimony, and loving not your lives even unto death. I love you all with an everlasting love. And if you would do this, you shall not be disappointed…….

Dear Saints,
Troubles and chaos in the world around us will continue to escalate as we get closer to the end.  We have already been warned of this in the scriptures.   However, we are not to be overcome by the world but we are to overcome the world instead.  We are in a season of great personal victories if we would pursue this instead of allowing the devil to distract us or get us in fear.  He has already been defeated by Christ and now we are to partake in that victory.  Don’t let fear and/or distractions keep you from taking advantage of this time to overcome…..
In spite of all that’s going on with governments, civil unrest, and the migrant caravans, I have had an excitement in my spirit-man for some time now.  I can taste victory in this season and I know this to be true for many of God’s people.  So be encouraged by this word from the Lord…..
Your Brother in Christ,
Kevin Barrett

A Fresh Ability to Pray (Shortbread Prophetic Word) - Sam Robertson, Gla...

A transcription of a word given by Amanda Grace 5 mo ago:

I hope you don't mind sister Amanda but I took most of the word down in shorthand. Here is the transcription (English spellings, sorry): The Lord thy God wants to do a new thing in your life; the Lord thy God wants to make you a new creation in Christ; the Lord thy God wants to rebuild you and hone you and mould you as the Lord thy God moulded the jar of clay in Jeremiah. As I mould you into that beautiful vessel, and I have you on a spindle says the Lord, as I have you and I am moulding you, as I am causing the dross to come up says the Lord, and I am peeling back the layers I don't like, I am refining you and restoring you and I am causing you to be a better version of yourself says the Lord your God because I know My creation inside and out says the Lord thy God, and this day says the Lord thy God know that I am re-working your life, I am rearranging you, I am moulding you, I am fixing the cracks and the chips and the hurts and the wounds and I, the Lord your God, am pouring in My oil and gladness and pouring My oil of joy over that; I am healing it says the Lord thy God, and I am healing those wounds so the bitterness does not take root. I, the Lord thy God, says this day I am uprooting the bitterness, I am uprooting the anger, I am uprooting the hurts from your life from those in the past that have so wounded you My children. I am uprooting those things, I am cutting away the tares, I am pruning in this season and I says the Lord your God, I will present you as a beautiful new creation in Christ, I will present you as My children by My Name to do My work, says the Lord thy God, so know this day says the Lord your God: do not despise the process says the Lord thy God for in taking you through the process I take you into deeper communion with Me says the Lord thy God. I, the Lord of Hosts say this day that during the process you will see the promise. During the process you will see the promise says the Lord thy God. Know this day says the Lord I have you in the palm of My hand and I have your promise in the palm of My hand and I am bringing you into your promise so you can be the effective vessels I have called you to be, My beloved children. I have not abandoned you says the Lord thy God and yes, in a world right now that is filled with confusion and with rage and with anger and with reprobates and with wicked spirits of Babylon and Jezebel and Leviathan, spirits of Ahab, spirits of lying tongues, spirits that put lies in people's mouths, spirits of propaganda, spirits of dictatorships, spirits of perversion, know this day says the Lord thy God I am moulding you to be a light in a dark place, to be a voice crying in the wilderness, I am moulding you that your words that come from Me will cut like a double-edged sword penetrating to the dividing line, says the Lord thy God, of these wicked entities, of these wicked plans, and it shall be in the name of Jesus pierce through the darkness and the confusion and the perversion and the anger and know says the Lord thy God this day that it will cause the enemy to go and retreat, it will cause those to be drawn to you because you are a light, because they see you are a light, because they feel My power and My anointing pouring out from you. I, the Lord thy God, say this day that in this season My anointing will be felt pouring out from you; it will be felt so strongly that it will cause those that have been watching, those that have been watching, the tantrum the enemy is throwing, the confusion, the wickedness he is trying to pour out, My love and My anointing and My power will be greater in this season says the Lord thy God that is coming through My children and yes, says the Lord thy God, I am raising the Remnant up and I am raising some of My children up out of obscurity to be a voice, to be the fire, to be the voice of truth in a sea of lies, in a sea of confusion, to be the voice of penetrating piercing truth says the Lord of Hosts this day. So know that the Lord thy God in this season says you will see these things happen and you will rise to the occasion says the Lord thy God. You will rise up in one accord and you will put tens of thousands to flight says the Lord thy God of the enemy and the wicked and yes, the minefield of traps is set says the Lord thy God and all of these traps the enemy has sown - that these wicked puppets has sown like a minefield - are going to go off and they're going to get caught in their own traps says the Lord of Hosts this day. They are going to get caught in their own pits says the Lord thy God. They have laid like a minefield, they have sowed like a minefield and I am going to strike them with confusion says the Lord thy God and send them into their own minefield and you are going to see those in the media and in government and in the church and in families even says the Lord step on their own minefields and destroy their own plans! They are sabotaging themselves says the Lord they God. Continue to pray, watch the show and watch them sabotage themselves because I the Lord thy God say this day that I am the King of kings and I have had enough! I have had enough of the rage, of people acting like puppets of the enemy, of people acting like the very demons that are puppeting them. When these people speak says the Lord thy God they don't realize they are speaking for these demonic entities, they are nothing more than shells now because they have sold their souls but I, the Lord thy God, say that I am coming in with a brilliant plan - a plan so brilliant and so simple says the Lord thy God it's going to dumbfound the enemy, it's going to send the wicked in retreat, it's going to topple a certain party says the Lord thy God, where there's going to be nothing but the ashes left says the Lord thy God from burning it up with My fire says the Lord thy God this day in Jesus' mighty name!

“A New Pentecost and a New Reformation: 2019 and Beyond”
Nathan Shaw, Dunedin, New Zealand

Two thousand years ago, God poured out His Spirit on 120 Believers in Jerusalem. We know it as the day of Pentecost. It was the start of an atomic explosion of glory that went to the ends of the earth. Five hundred years ago, the foundations of the Western Church were hugely shaken through the Reformation. The foundational truth of the Reformation: the just shall live by faith. It was a rediscovery of a first century message that had become increasingly maligned in the centuries that followed. One simple truth undid over a thousand years of institutional Christianity. That which we are stepping into will be seen as both a new Pentecost and a new Reformation.
Pentecost was one of the three major feasts celebrated in ancient Israel. The feast was a prophecy of the future outpouring of the Spirit. That’s over one thousand years of prophecy! The outpouring of the Spirit at the feast of Pentecost was a direct link between the Old and New Covenants. Through the work of the Cross and the outpouring at Pentecost, the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile was dismantled (Ephesians 2:15). The Reformation dismantled a different but similar dividing wall—the wall between priest and laity. We are all God’s priests and everyone has direct access to God through the Blood of Jesus.
2020: The Year of 20/20 Vision
Pentecost and the Reformation—no one will deny that the world is different. But what’s on God’s agenda for today? 2020 will be a watershed year. God’s people will step into an unprecedented level of vision. 2020 will truly be a year of 20/20 vision—of seeing things from His perspective. Priorities and mindsets will change. Every year leading up to 2020 is hugely significant. God is strategically setting things up. As we move forward there is a vital piece of wisdom for us to understand: Pentecost was an event, that was part of a process. Let me explain.
The Pentecost—a Part of the Process and the Wisdom of Pathways
God is in charge of times and seasons (Daniel 2:21). The day of Pentecost happened at an appointed time. Because God is in charge of times and seasons it’s easy to think we are powerless to affect change or live in ultimate destiny until such an appointed time. But let me give you the big picture. Jesus commanded His disciples to teach the newly formed Church everything that He had taught them (Matthew 28:20). The disciples received three years of solid teaching from the most anointed Teacher in the universe!
Pentecost was preceded by a process, and initiated a process. It was an event that was part of a process. Because of the process, the whole city of Jerusalem was shaken (Acts 5:28). It’s easy to idolize or idealize the day of Pentecost. The most powerful event wasn’t the outpouring on the day of Pentecost. It was a city shaken by a Church caught up in a culture of Spirit-empowered change.
The outpouring at Pentecost involved Jews gathered from all over the world (Acts 2:9-11). Jewish mindset understood the importance of pathways. “But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day” (Proverbs 4:18 NASB). The wisdom of pathways is built into the book of Proverbs. The Jews lived it and breathed it. It was their wisdom for life. A pathway has a destination that is arrived at one step at a time.
No matter what time frame an ancient Israelite lived, in there was always a pathway before them. No matter what time frame a Christian lives in, there is always a pathway before them. Each person decides whether they walk on the pathway or not. The pathway is not dependent on times and seasons. The pathway always exists. It is spiritually discerned. Some see it; some don’t. Wisdom always implores us to walk on the pathway (Proverbs 1:20, 8:1-4, Matthew 7:13-14). Some hear Wisdom’s voice; some don’t (Matthew 7:24-27).
Old Reformation vs New Reformation
The Reformation was also an event that was part of a process. The retelling of history has dramatized the event of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church doors. The actual event was less dramatic and played out over time. Regardless, it only took a few, short years for centuries of religious structures to start unraveling. The Reformation was revolutionary, but it was also reactionary.
After centuries of bondage it was understandable that people became reactionary. The good impacts of the revolution and the negative impacts of the reaction are still with us today. Here’s the good news: the new Reformation we are entering will strategically dismantle wrong foundations, and it will be guided by a wisdom that will keep it from becoming reactionary.
Finding Satisfaction in the Path and not the Event
Those who are waiting for an event and not seeing the pathway will miss what God is doing. Events change history, yes, but pathways take you somewhere. There’s always the excitement of taking the next step. Those who spend all their time waiting for an event can so easily end up in cold frustration when the next “Pentecost” or “Reformation” is slow to arrive. Pentecost was an outpouring of the Spirit—an event that was part of a process. It shook cities and nations. Some are waiting for another Pentecost and missing the pathway. The Reformation was a restoration of some foundational, Biblical truths that began to transform and change society. Many are still fighting over the truths rather than walking in them.
Walking in destiny isn’t dependent on an event. It’s dependent on seeing and walking a pathway. Before the day of Pentecost, the disciples walked in destiny. After the day of Pentecost, the disciples walked in destiny. Events change history, but they are preceded and followed by processes. Rather than idolize or idealize events, discern the pathway that is yours and yours alone. That’s where you will find the increasing glory.
David declared that His satisfaction was in the path of life. “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).
This is the mindset that God is establishing in His people right now. It is preparing us for one of the greatest events in history.

“God Wants to Paint a Picture of ‘Hope’ in Your Heart Again”
Jo Ellen Stevens, Connersville, IN


Hopelessness is the dread that there is no future for you. This is why God gives us faith to fight this hopelessness, because He is a God of hope. Jeremiah 29:11 (TLB), “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” The enemy wants us to believe that there is no hope so that He can make us sick inside. Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”
You’ve Been Sick in the Heart
I am hearing from the Lord that many of you have been sick in heart, sick in body, mind and soul because the enemy, through delays, has begun to try to steal your hope. But God is saying to come to Him again, even right now. He wants to paint a picture of hope into your heart again. He wants to show you that He is the God of all hope. I heard Him say that this is how He wants to heal you! He is once again going to give you hope. Not the kind that says, “I hope so,” but the kind that brings the joy of the Lord that will be your strength—to fight the good fight of faith until you receive the promises you have been standing and believing for.
Not only that, He wants you to know that He loves you even though you are not feeling as if He possibly could. He wants you to know that if you make your bed in Sheol, He is there and still loves you! If the enemy can convince you that God doesn’t love you because you have not received the promise, then he can steal your joy. Knowing the love of Christ that passes knowledge is how you get through this time of hope deferred.
I hear Him saying that He wants to restore your hope! He said there are some things you need to do to get there.
How Not to Lose Your Hope
1. Get before the Lord and let Him paint that picture of hope to you (He did this for Abraham several times until he hoped against hope). Turn off EVERY OTHER VOICE that is AGAINST what He told you in the beginning!
2. Let Him show you how much He loves you and get it into your heart!
3. If there is a word or words that the prophets have given you which rang true at one time, war a warfare with them. 2 Chronicles 20:20, “Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.”
4. Get in the Word of God and CAST DOWN IMAGINATIONS. 2 Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…” Take every thought that is warring against that word or words you have received, no matter who it has come from. Cast it down immediately! Get the word and the promise and put them into your heart.
5. Worship God and praise Him for what He has already done in the heavenly realm. It is settled in Heaven, so believe what has been established and say it! Then act like it is the truth. Sing the word. Dance the word. Act out the word.
6. Live like you believe it. Kenneth Hagin used to say, “Faith is simply acting like the Word of God is true!” I heard of a woman who was believing her husband would come back so she began to set the dinner table like he was there and one night he was!
7. Then, having done all to stand, stand therefore with your loins (reproductive parts) girded with that truth. Then pray, pray, pray in the Spirit; you are praying His perfect will when you do! Do all of this with the knowledge of Jeremiah 29:11: HE HAS A PLAN AND A FUTURE. The God-kind of hope is an anchor for the soul (mind, will, and emotions).
Throw your anchor in and then you will stop being moved by these storms that are trying to shake you from your hope and faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and faith is what moves God’s hand. Know that your God is big enough and “magnify” Him as David said. Make Him bigger in your heart than your situation. Then watch as God begins to show you who He is!
God is Not a Man That He Should Lie
Hebrews 6:17-20 (TPT), “So in the same way, God wanted to end all doubt and confirm it even more forcefully to those who would inherit His promises. His purpose was unchangeable, so God added His vow to the promise. So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that His promise and His vow will never change!
“And now we have run into His heart to hide ourselves in His faithfulness. This is where we find His strength and comfort, for He empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakable hope! We have this certain hope like a strong, unbreakable anchor holding our souls to God Himself. Our anchor of hope is fastened to the mercy seat which sits in the heavenly realm beyond the sacred threshold, and where Jesus, our forerunner, has gone in before us. He is now and forever our royal Priest like Melchizedek.”
Arise Shine!
