Reflections In the Secret Place –  by Dawn Hill


The secret place is a precious place. It is where we meet with God to fellowship and to come close to Him.  As I meditate on the importance of intimacy with Christ, I find myself thinking about the garden once again. It is often the place where we automatically think of the fall instead of remembering what was intended before the fall. A few months ago, I wrote a blog post about The Garden Within The Temple, and I talked about how we become the garden of God and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Song of Solomon 4:12 continues to ring in my spirit as the type and shadow in that passage calls us His private paradise and His secret spring that no one else can have (TPT). He is jealous for us. Beloved, I want to share with you some reflections in the secret place that I have learned.
Depending on the translation, the secret place is also worded as a covering, a shelter or a dwelling place. Psalm 139:15 talks of being formed in the secret place of the womb. David sang to God and called him his secret place, his refuge (Psalm 32). One of the most quoted passages about the secret place is found in Psalm 91:1.  As we draw into that private time with God and answer the invitation to come closer, it is important for us to remember a few things.

The secret place is not…

The secret place is all about Jesus and fellowship. It is not a place for us to inquire about everyone else’s secrets. I am not talking about discernment, but rather initiating the seeking of information for ill intentions. We must guard our hearts when in the secret place with God and not permit contamination to creep into this private time, allowing the enemy to come into His locked garden and hiss out false truths, accusations and offense. This garden, this secret place is meant to cultivate fruit from His Kingdom. The presence of His fruit in our lives is proof of consummation with Christ. It is possible to produce fruit that has nothing to do with the Kingdom of God or His heart.
We would be best to treat this time with God as reverent.  When we spend time in His Presence, we are learning the mysteries of God and the heart of Abba Father. We are capturing His heart and His vision and the mandate for “on earth as it is in heaven”. It is a place of pure motives and untainted agendas with the Lord as our focus. We want His heart on all matters!
The secret place is not a country club requiring a rank or an elite membership. It is not for a select group of people in the Kingdom of God. The only title required is “Child”. We are His child first before we are anything else. We are hidden in Christ and not a mantle. Do not feel like you cannot go into the secret place and commune with God because your lack of credentials will not permit you past the entrance. If you know Jesus, you have access to intimacy with Him. This is where the Holy Spirit teaches us all things and calls them to our remembrance (John 14:26).

Going deeper in Spirit and truth

Now that we know what it is not, we can focus on the truth about the secret place. This dwelling place is a place of prayer and intercession. Matthew 6:6 TPT says,
“But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to Him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.”
Many have discounted prayer and intercession because it is not as attractive as the public platform. We do not realize that our prayer closet is a microphone in itself, penetrating the throne room as we offer up groans and fervent prayers. In prayer, we partner with the greatest Intercessor and become one with His heart. Do you desire to know His heart? Get in your prayer closet, the facet of the secret place. Maybe you feel like cobwebs adorn the entrance to your prayer closet. Clean them off, return to the place of prayer, and release the fragrance of Christ throughout His garden.
The secret place is a place of vulnerability and exposure, a place of introspection before God. It is not only a place to simply receive encouragement, but it is a place to receive correction from the Lord. We were not meant to hide behind the proverbial fig leaves and to withdraw from God. The garden account would have been much different had Adam and Eve taken responsibility for the fall.
There will be times in the secret place where repentance is necessary and the correction of the Father will come, but it is part of authentic intimacy with Him. It is part of drawing closer. When you go before Him in the secret place and bare it all, a real relationship begins to bloom. I encourage you to not forsake the secret place. He wants to commune with you!

Understanding The Season of Acceleration and Transformation –  by Kathi Pelton


We truly do seem to be in a time of acceleration; change is happening everywhere we look! Nations are changing, governments are changing, the spiritual landscape is changing, and hearts are changing. Prayers that we prayed in faith for decades are suddenly coming to pass, and open doors are before many. It is like a “domino effect” is occurring…the hand of God pushed the first one over and now walls are falling down like dominoes.
In this time of acceleration it is vitally important that His people do not get into a “driven” or “high speed” mode that will cause them to burn out or run ahead of proper timing. God is the One who is accelerating things…not man! We are to make sure that we are taking time to be in the secret place, to linger in His presence and to sit with Him until He says “go.” We are to ride the wave of change that is transforming and accelerating us from a posture of peace, stillness, and intimacy.
There is a deep caution in my spirit to be sure that we are not trying to force greater acceleration by our might or our will. This is—and will continue to be—a move of God, not a move of man. It has begun first with personal transformation and will then transform the nations. I hear the familiar verse from Zechariah 4:6 that says,
“This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.”
For nearly a year I have been carrying in my spirit the word “yield.” I daily have been intentionally yielding to the move and work of His Spirit within me and all around me. What has been happening for me personally, and what is happening all around us, is not by might but BY HIS SPIRIT! Most great moves of God began with a swell or acceleration that came by the Spirit but often the “might of man” moved in and not only caused men to fall but also halted the pure move of His Spirit.
What God is doing, and what He is about to do, is in the near future will be by His Spirit. We already are seeing the acceleration beginning, and it is now that we must position our hearts and our wills to yield fully to His Spirit. We must intentionally remain “in Him” by not allowing a move that is accelerating things around us to cause us to run ahead or become driven by our own strength. This move of God will be one that is being propelled by the yielded ones who have allowed transformation to occur. It will not be marked by “the driven ones.”
Understand that you will see driven ones arise and though their efforts may seem good at first, they will merely produce the appearance of fruit, not the organic pure fruit that will last and reveal Jesus as He truly is. This kind of activity will create a wind, but in the end it will bring people into a storm because the strength of men cannot uphold and preserve a pure move of God.
What God is bringing through the partnership with His yielded ones is pure and will draw His people into a peace that allows them to ride His wave without striving or any frantic, man-made push. It will not come from the strength of men but by His Spirit.
So…slow down and yield to His Spirit in this time of acceleration! His Spirit has brought forth this acceleration and will continue to bring further acceleration. We must learn to rest in Him and allow Him to carry us where He is going and into what He is doing. Yield to His full preparation that is transforming His Church; yield to the swell of His Spirit, yield to His healing, His cleansing, and His love. This is a time of freedom, not of frantic striving! Stay in His Spirit.
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord–who is the Spirit–makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
We are being invited into accelerated transformation so that we will reflect the glory of the Lord as we are changed into His glorious image. This move of God will first and foremost be marked by transformation! It is the transformation we read about in the verse above. This verse will be a marker for what God is doing.
We are currently experiencing a move of the Spirit individually and as a corporate family that is transforming us to reflect His image. The world is longing for something or someone to identify with; they are looking for an “image” to reflect, but so many have merely found confusion and bowed before the graven images of the world’s systems. But as we, His Church, yield to the accelerated transformation that His Spirit is doing, suddenly the world will see Him in us! We will reflect His glorious image for people to see. This will release an accelerated transformation into all the world…not by might but by His Spirit.

How Transparency Is A Key To Freedom – by Jeffrey Hardwick
I want you to know how transparency is a key to freedom in your life. When the Lord gave me this revelation of transparency, I did not realize how simple freedom could be.
The first thing I thought of when the Lord wanted me to be transparent was to expose all the bad in my life. But God had other plans. It wasn’t until I knew God’s view on transparency of the TRUTH was going to give me freedom from deceit.
When I looked up the definition of transparent I was very surprised. It means to be free from pretense or deceit; easily detected or seen through; readily understood. Look at those definitions again. Does that describe you? It can and I’ll show you how simple it is for you.
The best way I can describe what transparency is from God’s perspective is understanding and believing the TRUTH of who you are in HIS sight. An image the Lord gave me was if He was cutting though my body and soul then looking into my spirit. Imagine looking into a spirit that is perfect. When you believe the Truth you will know how transparency is key to your freedom.
When you look at your spirit you are looking at something that is truly remarkable and full of love. How can you see what is in your spirit? You can ask God for a revelation. You can also find Scripture verses that describe God’s Spirit.
For example, the Fruit of the Spirit can be found in Galatians 5:22-23. Imagine seeing yourself being loving, joyful, patient, etc. How would you respond when a lie comes against you when you SEE yourself the way God does? Transparency is the key.
Again we want to be transparent so we can experience freedom from all lies and deception. I want you to live in the Truth and free from lies, don’t you? Once we have that goal in place, then we need to act on it. How do we do that?
Anytime you hear, see, feel a lie from the enemy, IMMEDIATELY replace it with the Truth. Why? Jesus did it and the devil left Him. Since it worked for Jesus, it will work for you and me.
I like what James 4:7 tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” One day the Lord told me, “No resisting. No fleeing.” Let that sink in for a moment. After you submit to God, He is telling you to resist the devil, THEN he will flee. Remember, God will back up His Word.
We can choose to be resisters or allowers. We can continue to allow the enemy to lie to us. If we do, then we begin to believe his lies and not God’s Truth. Then we can feel stuck. Can you relate? I don’t want you stuck anymore. I want you SO free that others see Jesus in you.
So what you need to do is to equip yourself with the Truth, God’s Scriptures. The Word of God is a weapon to use against the devil. If we don’t use it, then how free can we be? God gave us the Sword of the Spirit to USE. It is the most powerful weapon we can use to experience victory in our lives.
If I were to ask you what lies from the enemy have you been believing, I’m sure you could come up with a few of them. Now if I would ask you what Scripture verses do you use to resist those lies, what would they be?
The Lord gave me several verses to help with overcoming fear. You know what they all had in common? God’s Love. Why? It is God’s PERFECT LOVE that casts out fear. The more we agree, accept and believe God’s Love for us, the more freedom we can experience in our lives.
So starting right now CHOOSE to be transparent as you agree with God’s Word and use it every time against the enemy so you can live in freedom. Remember Jesus said, “And you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free.” Finally when you know how transparency is key to your freedom, make sure you share it with your friends. They will so glad you did.
Are you now willing to be FREE?

A short time back I wrote an article about “closings.” (You can read “Through July 31st – Many Closings will Bring New Beginnings” here.) Based on the timing of this new article and how it came about, I believe that this is “part two” of the closings article.
Through the first writing, God showed the beginning of many closings and what it will look like; chapters are closing for new ones to begin. In part two, He is showing us how to get to the other side into our destiny. Walking through life with the Lord is reassuring because He has already taken the steps that we are about to go through. If you have been around Him long enough, then you have witnessed Jesus get you out of some really tight circumstances. I would like to briefly share one of my own.
You will witness miracles that only God can do!
When I became born again, I was pulled out of a lot of really bad stuff. I had just ended a bad relationship with a girl in high school. Shortly after our breakup, she got involved with a local gang that was popular and relentless. Unexpectedly, I ended up on their hit-list, with my ex-girlfriend leading the wolf hunt. After several months, I assumed that things were dying down. I was about to find out that it was just getting started.
A Close Call
One day I went to the mall with one of my nephews to get a birthday card. At the time he was about eight years old. While entering the mall, I was face-to-face with my ex-girlfriend staring at me with her new gang-member boyfriend! Oddly, it was almost as if they had been waiting for me to enter; like they knew we had been already on our way. I looked at them, they cold-starred back, my nephew and I went directly to the card store. By the time we got into the store and picked out a card, several gang members had gathered and were staring at me right outside the entryway of the store we were in. Mind you, I had a little child with me.
I paid for the card and then went to the back of the store with my nephew. I told him that it didn’t look good and we needed to pray. (We didn’t have cell phones back in this day, and I knew that the mall cop wouldn’t be of much assistance.) This was a very small mall that only had one main exit to the building. My ex-girlfriend and her gang went down to the main entrance and waited for me to try to leave. I looked out of the card store and I could now see that the gang had nearly doubled in size and they were all waiting for me. They multiplied fast. (They were using pagers back then!)
My heart was beating wildly while my nephew held onto my hand. Knowing somehow that it would be okay, I suddenly heard the Lord say, “Go now! Go!” I knew it was Him. I walked out of the card store and headed right toward the large gang huddled in the entryway. “Turn,” the Lord said to me as I approached a drug store at the corner of the mall by the entryway, not far away from the gang. I quickly turned into the drug store, not knowing what else to do.
Some of the gang members were looking right at me, including my ex-girlfriend, but they didn’t see me; they didn’t even recognize me! My nephew and I were like ghosts to them. Continuing on, I walked right down the drug store aisles, and low and behold, there was a side entrance at the end of the store that led right to my car, totally bypassing the main entrance to the mall and the entire group of gang members! We headed straight to the car and left safely. Decades later, I never saw one of them again. God completely put a wall of fire between them and me for life!
This, my friend, is how God takes care of us when we are leaving a chapter and starting a new one. He makes sure we get safely to the other side. Some of you are up against some tough decisions; you are dealing with some really tight circumstances. God has this word for you today: “For Your name’s sake, Lord, preserve my life; in Your righteousness, bring me out of trouble” (Psalm 143:11 NIV).
The Countdown to Your Launching Has Begun!
God completely put a wall of fire between them and me for life!
I hear the Lord saying to you today, “I am connecting you to launching pads that will properly thrust you into the right direction and course for your life. I will remove you from stagnant waters and from people and organizations that have no interest in where I have called you to be. I am intensifying My image through you, so that those who are called to recognize the call and talent within you, will see Me before they see you. I am opening the eyes of the blinded around you; the right people at the right time will find you.
“Across the globe I will raise up spiritual fathers and mothers who have a desire to launch My children properly. I am connecting them to you in order to connect you to your destiny; an inheritance I promised long ago. No longer will you be hoarded up for someone else’s pleasure or purposes. You will be released by My strong hands.
I will release winds from the four corners of the earth to blow My children to their divine destinations. I will be a wind behind you, moving you forward like a sail boat on the waters; I will be a ring of fire around your life and nothing will harm you as you cross over.”
“But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.” (Psalm 3:3 NIV)
The River Will Now Rage on Your Behalf!
“I have brought you to the edge of your river, and you are now crossing over. I will drop the gates that have stopped you and I will remove the unauthorized boundaries around your life that have left you lacking purpose. I will smash the walls that closed you in; walls that were designed by the enemy to hinder the vision and view of your future. No longer will you stand at the gates and wonder, ‘How will I get through this?’ No longer will you look at the wall and give up and turn back. (Photo via Unsplash)
“It is I, the Lord, who called you out and across this river. The river has moved many directions that have worked against you, and now I am going to turn the current of the river to flow in your favor. The river will now rage on your behalf. In the end you will say, ‘God did this—only He could do something like this.'”
“Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.” (Isaiah 35:6 NIV)
I get a sense that many of you reading this will be thinking about your enemies, those trying to hurt you, for the last time in your life. I believe they won’t be able to pursue you any longer and you will face them no more! You will witness miracles that only God can do!

VISION OF THE BOOKS OF DESTINY- YOU ARE TURNING A NEW PAGE!

I was praying tonight when I had a vision of the Lord opening the pages of peoples books. What was firstly highlighted to me was that many chapters of these books were disjointed, with whole blank pages, torn pages, and pages where the sentences suddenly stopped. Secondly I noticed that each of them had whole sections of the book where they were titled with chapters and headings but nothing was yet written. From outward appearances these were poorly written books but the Lord was so invested in them as he was reading them, because them were obviously highly valuable to him. After I saw this I asked the Lord what I saw and what it meant and He said to me that the books I saw were the indeed the pages of peoples lives but they were actually destiny books that contained the purposes and plans of God for each one of us!

CHAPTERS OF TRANSITION

Many people right now are in the uncomfortable chapters where it feels like their seasons have been disjointed and don’t make any sense which is what I sensed when I saw them. It is like chapter 4 just doesn’t seem to match chapter 5 and so on. In this season of transition many have felt lost and highly confused about where they are headed because their past season was so different to the one before them, and they are feeling visionless and in foreign territory.
The Lord said to me “Only I can connect what needs to be connected, only I can orchestrate what needs to be orchestrated. Where you see inconsistency and lack of direction I have been re-directing you. I am making the chapters of your life all come together in this season as you lean into me, trust me, and allow me to do what only I can do”

THE TORN PAGES

The Lord began to speak to me about the torn pages and said to me that they represented failure and ruin that many had experienced in previous seasons but especially recently. I felt His grief as he highlighted broken marriages, loss, and disaster and ruin that had come to people and homes. There was such a brokenness that many had been so deeply torn in their hearts and overshadowed by trauma. “Come out of hiding” I hear the Father saying so tenderly. “That page of your life is not your end, now watch me make it your brand new beginning!” “I am healing your heart right now and turning the page for you where you will begin to hope again, Love again, and dream again!”
As I am writing this I am sensing that many are being healed as they read his from rejection. I keep hearing “rejection syndrome” and see how the root of rejection keeps causing some people to be derailed in many areas once it is triggered. Those past areas where you were rejected, abandoned, and outcasted are being healed right now. I command every spirit of rejection attached to you leave right now in Jesus name! Be restored and whole, accepted and fully loved! Father show them your love even as they read this. If you felt the Holy Spirit highlighting anything to you just take a few moments to be still in His presence and allow Him to heal you.

THE BLANK PAGES

As I asked Him about the blank pages I heard Him say “What looks like waiting isn’t fruitless. What looks like wasting is worship” and I sensed that this represented many people who have been in a waiting season where it has felt like they have received no steps, strategies, or direction forward and have felt stuck, frustrated, and empty and become heartsick. The the Lord said “Looks can be deceiving, because where you have surrendered to me in the waiting you are giving me permission to FILL IN THE BLANKS!” In the waiting you always end up with more than you bargained for as you keep holding on, not giving up!

LET ME FINISH YOUR SENTENCES

I asked the Lord about the unfinished sentences that seemed to trail off as if someone fell asleep behind the pen. The Lord said “Where many have grown weary and fallen asleep I am coming to renew strength and I will not only rejuvenate and reinstate them but I will finish their sentences!” I sensed that the Lord was saying that this would be a season for many that had been derailed and disillusioned in the past season to stand back up to their feet and see God fulfill what He promised. He is declaring over you today, “I’m not finished with you yet!”

THE NEW PAGES OF A NEW DAY

When I asked the Lord about the new pages I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit so strongly and then heard “It’s a new day for history to be written!” and I sensed the excitement and Joy of the Lord as many wake to a brand new day in the months ahead. The months and months of the Lord bringing healing and closure to so many areas has resulted in hearts that are ready and ripe for God to embark on new adventures, clutter free, with fresh hope and purpose for the days ahead.
It will be days of pioneering in joy and freedom without the religious shackles holding you back. It will be a new day to dream and journey with the Lord without the burdensome overheads of the past seasons. It’s a new day and a new beginning for many as the Holy Spirit breathes upon the pages of your life afresh. He is asking you today “Will you allow me to flood the pages of your life with my goodness? Will you allow me into your heart afresh to heal, restore, and fill you?” Will you leave the past behind and write the pages of history with me?
“All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” Psalm 139:16

Tuesday, July 17, 2018

Whenever I minister in different places, I always make the effort to prepare well for the various venues I'm in. I'm prayed up, ready with a word, and covered in prayer by my intercessory teams. On a recent trip to the Bronx, I was prepared and ready with a word for this eclectic group of ministers and other attendees. On the flight, however, I felt the distinct presence of the Holy Spirit and heard His voice. He spoke one phrase to my heart, "Transitional people," and I instantly knew the message.
I'm going to define transitional people as those who are first-time Christians in their families. The Bible shows many such people – John the Baptist, all the early apostles, as well as those of the early Church. Being first, means you now have a transitional role. And for most, that transitional role is centered on your family as you will be walking your family out of the old way and into a new way.
You will reclaim bloodline and spiritual blessings. Because you are the first, you will face distinctly unique challenges. You will also have heightened spiritual warfare as you break down demonic generational strongholds so that Jesus can emerge as the strongman of your family.
He Gives You Strength for the Turnaround
"Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house." (Ez. 3:9)
"...you must be fierce in prayer, refuse to be offended, and love intentionally."
This verse was actually God's directive to the prophet Ezekiel as He dealt with rebellious Israel through His chosen prophet. You might not be an actual prophet, but in a sense you're a prophet to your own family. As a transitional person, you will communicate His Word and precepts to your family and point them to a better way. You will give voice to instruct in righteous living to your children, grandchildren, and the great-grandchildren coming after you.
He is giving you a God-ordained stubbornness to stand against the pressure of returning to the old and familiar ways of destruction. As you make way for Him in your family, a task that will require your entire lifetime, the pressure of this turnaround will figuratively turn you into a diamond in the end. You will be that beacon of light and that radiant voice of hope. The Holy Spirit is saying, "Future generations in your family line will point to your light and say 'I want to be just like you.'"
When God Sees You, He Sees Your Entire Family – Both Past and Future
Have you ever noticed those long, tedious genealogy lists in the Bible? For example, "Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared... The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan" (1 Chron. 1:1-2,8)." There are several such lists throughout the Scriptures. These genealogies shout a message to us, however, that God doesn't just look at us as individuals, but sees our entire family both past and future. I believe this is the principle behind the promise that if one member of the household is saved, then the entire household comes under divine appointment for salvation.
"So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. You and your whole household'" (Acts 16:31). God puts unique gifts and callings on families. These are your God-ordained generational blessings. (Photo via Free Great Picture)
"Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command." (1 Chron. 12:32)
Here we see a family that had wisdom and understanding, and a leadership gift. Did you know that families, not just individuals, have an assignment in the earth? Some families are musical or artists, some are "chiefs" and called to lead in government, some are five-fold ministers, some are educators, and then some are business leaders. Families have family assignments and are blessed and anointed of God to fulfill their Kingdom purposes. When they step into their assignment, the anointing flows and it's the anointing that breaks every yoke.
He is calling out and restoring generational blessings! He is putting families back into their assignments! Many of these assignments have been buried under the curse. The family curse came when the family turned away from the Lord. Rebellion against God always has consequences and those consequences have come onto the children and the children's children. Bringing a family back into its assignment, however, requires a transitional person. This is much easier said than done.
Transitional people are often very war-like because they've had to battle personally every family curse, family demon, and family weakness and stand against all odds for a new legacy.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
People of Repentance – Standing in the Gap
Transitional people are concerned with repentance. They stand in the gap and break every curse in Jesus' name. "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chron. 7:14)
If you haven't done this already, take some time with your heavenly Father today and repent for every sin that you know of that your family has committed against Him. You won't know everything that's taken place, but you will know enough to start the process of repentance on behalf of your family. You might be wondering, "Why do I have to repent for the sins that someone else did? What does it really matter?" We find many times in the Bible where someone would repent for the corporate sins of the family, city, and region, both past and present to spiritually release them from sin cycles, false beliefs, and binding agreements with other gods.
"You might not be an actual prophet, but in a sense you're a prophet to your own family."
For example, Moses stood in repentance for Israel's corporate sin of worshipping the golden calf. Daniel's repentance for his people delivered them from the demonic principalities of Persia and Greece. In the New Testament, Stephen, the first Christian martyr, repented at his very last breath on behalf of his persecutors, an act that many believe marked Saul to have a divine encounter with Jesus.
When you take responsibility for the sin of your family, both present and past, first in prayer and then through active action with the help of the Holy Spirit, it creates an open Heaven over your unsaved family to receive the conviction of the Holy Spirit. You will see the most resistance from family members at this point because they will begin to feel the conviction. Only you must be fierce in prayer, refuse to be offended, and love intentionally.
In case you are unsure of what the curse even looks like, here is a Biblical list of what you've been redeemed from in Christ. It no longer belongs to you (see Gal. 3:13 and Deut. 28):
• Sickness and prolonged sickness
• Plagues
• Early death
• Helplessness
• Destruction
• Madness
• Confusion
• Blindness
• Poverty
• Being consumed
• Debt
• Drought
• Defeat
• Weakness
• Low position
• No safety
• Being scattered
• Broken family
• Infertility
• Being unwanted

Decree a Thing
As the transitional person, make the decree for "GREATER." "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" (Job 22:28). The Hebrew word for decree in this passage (gazar) is a command that not only establishes something but also divides and cuts something down at the same time. The powerful promise for making a decree is that the light of God will shine upon all our ways. In other words, the decree cuts away and destroys anything from the kingdom of darkness that has been purposed against you. (Photo via Unsplash)
Let's decree this together by saying it out loud:
• As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord (Josh. 24:15).
• I love God and I keep His commandments. Therefore, the blessing of God is on my family for a 1000 generations (Deut. 7:9).

“The Pause Before The Power!”
by Lonnie Mackley July 12th, 2018
Some of you may be experiencing what might seem like a lull, pause, or shut down where things may feel flat, dead, empty, meaningless, and pointless right now. There is actually a good reason for this though because just before God does something major and new He will often lead people into a time of rest and repentance so that He can fully prepare them for what is about to come so that they will be truly ready with a new and rejuvenated wineskin just before the new wine arrives!
Deeper Before Higher
We don’t realize how busy, distracted, and spiritually starved our lives can get until and unless God shuts everything down and forces us to rest and wait before Him so that He can fully purify, restructure, and renovate our hearts, minds, and actions in order to prepare us to walk in strength and holiness for the next phase of our life-mission. Taller buildings need deeper foundations and it is no different for someone called to walk in God’s power in this final harvest of human souls.
Spiritual Breakfast
You’re only as strong as what you last ate spiritually, so God has been leading us to start our day by bulking up on Him first thing in the morning before anything else. Jesus practiced this because He knew that He had to feed on God first before He could feed others. The days of trying to wing it in the flesh are over, so unless we get full of God’s love and anointing first thing then we will just weakly stumble through our day, produce little, and be more susceptible to temptation. So fill up!
Pentecost Is the Example
Just like the days just before the outpouring at Pentecost you have been led into a personal time of accelerated deliverance and healing as you wait and rest before the Lord. This is not a time to be busy or distracted, it is a time to wait and listen carefully to everything the Holy Spirit wants to say and do right now. He is setting the stage because the biggest show on earth is about to begin and Jesus will be on center stage through you! So being pure, stable, and loving are a necessity.
Your Life Will Never Be The Same!
What is about to happen will be a permanent life-changer for you where in one minute you will be sitting seemingly doing nothing and being forsaken by all, to a time of being extremely active and being sought after by all as the Holy Spirit directs and flows through you to save, heal, and deliver as many people as possible during a day! So do not despise this time of pause and resting before God’s power hits because you need this time to be ready and to remain strong in the days ahead!
ISA 30:15a This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation,
PS 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

“Prepare for a New Reformation!”
Rob Radosti, Las Vegas, Nevada

The Lord spoke to me recently that the global Body of Christ is crossing the threshold into a new reformation! This reformation will bring about a badly needed paradigm shift in modern Christianity, and will refocus the Church to have their eyes on Jesus only.
Reformation happens when someone is not afraid to call out the current system and challenge it to help bring people into freedom and truth. This is precisely what Jesus did, and what many who have come after Him and in His name have done.
What to Expect
After the Protestant Reformation happened, we saw the reintroduction of the Holy Spirit and His works, and a booming missionary movement spring forth. Following this, we saw numerous revivals and movements breaking out across the world from the mid 1700s through the 2000s. Whether it was the Evangelical Revival, Voice of Healing revivals, the Word of Faith movement, the Prophetic Awakening, the Apostolic Reformation or the Grace Awakening, each movement was a piece of the puzzle. What puzzle, you ask? The full counsel of God. The Lord has shown me that we are at a time in history where much of the full counsel of God has been and is being restored to His Church.
In this new reformation, all of the cards will be on the table. We will be able to chew the meat (what God did), and spit out the bones (what men added). When this full picture comes into view, we will see a glorious picture of Jesus Christ pointing back to Himself, and it will shake the foundations of modern Christianity.
This reformation will take the focus off of the gift, and put it back on Jesus. This reformation will be a revival of Christocentric Christianity that is so pure, that the early Church would recognize us as one and the same. There will be a resurgence of Holy Spirit led discipleship in this new reformation, and many will be pastors in their neighborhoods and communities.
Lastly, God will raise up what He described to me as, “Five-fold sons and daughters.” These will be sons and daughters of the Most High, not as concerned with titles as much as they are concerned with the hearts of men and connecting them to the heart of God. They will jump between function and offices as Jesus did to fill whatever need there may currently be in the Body. They will not be limited to just one title or office.
Who are the Reformers?
God gave me a dream along with this word, and in the dream I saw thousands and thousands of Millennials worshipping God in spirit, truth and happy holiness. This was not limited to a certain age group, but each reformer represented a Millennial. They were not afraid to stand up to man-made religion, nor were they hesitant of shattering the lies that many believe about God.
When I awoke, I saw Acts 14:1-3 before me, which confirmed the dream:
“At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed. But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.”
These reformers will love the world enough to dine with them and be Jesus to them, and love the Church enough to challenge what must change. They will be a people of joy. Nothing will be impossible for them!
Are You Ready?
This word has been burning in my spirit, and our team is more passionate than every about seeing these things come to pass. So let me ask you, will you be a reformer? Are you prepared for this new reformation?
