Heaven’s Wind is On the Way! (Prophetic Insight)
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?
When Moses obeyed God’s command and raised his staff over the sea, the Lord began to act.Moses and Israel may have been at an impasse—but God had a wind.
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.
‘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)Noah was faced with an insurmountable problem, but God had a wind.
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.
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.Today, know that God’s grace and forgiveness is abundant towards you. It is time to turn your heart Heavenward again.
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!’
‘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 NIVMoses saw an impossibility, but God had a wind.
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!
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

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…..

A transcription of a word given by Amanda Grace 5 mo ago:
Faith Evans
5 months ago (edited)
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
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!

WRITERS TAKE HEART, YOU ARE BREAKING NEW GROUND IN YOUR WRITING!!
by Lana Vawser Ministries
I
have been feeling the Lord's heart strongly for writers this week,
whether its books, songs, plays, movies, poetry, teachings etc there is
an encouragement on the heart of God for you right now. Press in, for
there is an increase, a shift and transition taking place for writers in
this new era and I am feeling it strongly this week.
As
I leaned in and asked the Lord what was on His heart for the writers I
had a vision and I saw the word "TRANSITION" in large letters over the
writers. I watched as some writers were writing and felt like they were
writing against a 'hard surface', others were feeling 'battle' as they
wrote, others were feeling an 'unsettledness' and lack of clarity, while
others were writing with power and flow but feeling their writing was
taking a different form, shape and direction to what they expected.
As I watched all this take place I heard the Lord say:
"Writers, take heart, you are breaking new ground in your writing"
There
is a SIGNIFICANT breaker anointing that is falling upon you as you
write. As you yield to Jesus, as you lean in to hear what the Spirit is
saying, the revelation He is releasing is BREAKING NEW GROUND in your
writing.
I heard Him speak such a loud decree:
"DEEPER REVELATION THAN YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED! GREATER HEAVENLY STRATEGY THAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN"
Writers,
this is an extremely significant transition that is taking place right
now and I feel the Lord's heart of encouragement "Steward it well."
Don't
try and write what you think is expected. Don't try and write what you
think is "popular". There are many things the Lord is writing through
the writers now that is going to see a greater increase of the volume of
His voice of TRUTH, PURITY and JUSTICE flow through writings.
I
watched as the winds of the Spirit began to blow fiercely around the
writers. It was like a gale force wind so strong, and the Lord decreed:
"THE PIONEERING WRITERS ARE ARISING! THE PIONEERING WRITERS ARE ARISING"
In
this vision, I then see Jesus, our beautiful Jesus inviting the writers
deeper. He was inviting them into a deeper place of revelation of His
heart and His Word and His invitation led them into a room that they had
never entered into before.
As
I looked around this room, the walls were dripping in honey and oil. I
could hear the decree in the heavenlies, "The pioneering writers are
arising carrying My oil and the honey of My healing. The sweet honey of
My presence. The oil and honey are costly. They are precious and found
in the place of surrender, close to My heart. The place of no impure
agenda, but simply the agenda of knowing My heart and hearing what I am
saying. The anointing that is increasing upon the writers right now is
one of such heavy breaker anointing that will bring MAJOR breakthrough,
shift and change in the lives of individuals, cities and nations. It's
bigger than they think."
"Many
of My writers have been through the fire. Many of My writers have been
through serious opposition. Many of My writers have been brought to the
threshing floor and now they shall carry such deep secrets of My heart."
"The
Pioneering writers are arising now, their books are being birthed,
their songs are being birthed, My messages through them are being
birthed on the earth to release secrets and revelations of My heart,
deeply contained within My Word that are carving new pathways in the
earth to release My purposes like never before. I am releasing
revelatory secrets of My heart right now that have not been released
before in the earth. They are deeply rooted and anchored in My Word, but
now is the time for the Pioneering writers to arise releasing deep
revelatory secrets of My heart not known or seen before."
"My
Pioneering writers, your hearts are branded as you yield to Me. Your
hearts are being branded with a fire and a hunger of Jeremiah 33:3:
"Call
to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and
mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you
do not know and understand and cannot distinguish"(AMP)
"What
I am releasing to My Pioneering writers who have a listening ear, these
deep secrets of My heart, these secrets I will entrust to My writers
will CHANGE AND SHAPE HISTORY and bring WORLDWIDE shifts"
THERE'S AN INCREASE OF THE NATIONS MANDATE UPON THE WRITERS TO BRING HEALING TO THE NATIONS
In
this vision I kept seeing HUGE leaves covering the manuscripts, songs,
poems, teachings etc of the writers and I heard Revelation 22:2 booming
all around "The leaves for the HEALING OF THE NATIONS"
The Lord spoke again:
"My
writings through My writers upon the earth right now, those that are
writing My heart and from the pure flow of My Spirit and those writings
to come have an increase of the nations mandate and anointing upon them
to bring healing to the nations."
Suddenly
I saw manuscripts, songs, poems, teachings etc landing on desks on
Presidents, people of influence, infiltrating the seven mountains with
acceleration in such significant increase that it was leading many into
deep encounters with Jesus. Releasing the wisdom of heaven into the
hands of those who can bring major change. I watched the winds of the
Spirit carrying these writings into media circles and watching major
supernatural change leaving people astonished "That could never happen" -
suddenly becoming "LOOK WHAT HE DID!"
God
is going to get His writings into the hands of the people that need to
read it and will bring major change and shifts in culture.
There
was SUCH a rest upon these writings. There were tangible impartations
of His heart and revelation contained within these writings that was
going to bring significant life changes to the hands He got the writings
into, and healing to flow to them and then through them to bring
healing to nations.
The
rest I saw upon these writings was also a rest that was decreeing that
God will get the writings where He needs them to go and for the writers
to be at peace and rest, not try and 'make something happen' but now
that in obedience to what He asks and where He's leading, He would get
the manuscripts and writings into the most unbelievable places. There is
GREAT FAVOUR that is going to fall upon these writings as the Lord gets
His messages out. There will be such an increase of testimonies in this
new era from the writers that says "I simply did what He asked, I wrote
what He said and LOOK what HE has done and where HE has taken His
writings as I placed it all in His hands."
There
has been so much 'writing over nations' that is not the Lord's heart
nor His plans and purposes, but that is going to radically change in
this new era as HIS writings go forth to SHAPE AND CHANGE HISTORY and
ACTIVATE HIS DECREES over the nations.
WRITINGS WILL BE KEY TO BRINGING IN THE HARVEST
The Lord spoke again:
"My writings will be KEY to bringing in the harvest! My writings will speak!"
I
saw a heavy anointing over His writings in this new era for evangelism.
MANY are going to come to know Jesus through reading the WRITINGS of
His heart. There is going to be a MAJOR increase of salvations in this
new era as people encounter Jesus through the WRITINGS of His heart
through His people.
I
kept seeing fish JUMPING into a boat, but the boat was COVERED in His
Words. The revelation of His Word, the writing of His heart that is
being released in this new era through many, many writings. MANY will
come to know Jesus through writings grounded and founded in His Word, in
this new era.
Writers,
what He is releasing and what He is going to do through you and your
writings as you write His heart and write from that place and the
foundation of His Word, is going to blow your mind. What He is having
you write now, what you have written, and the new writing assignments
that are upon you are WEIGHTY!
He
is looking for His writers to be laid down, yielded, deep in the Word
and seeking His heart. To write His truth when it's not popular. To
write messages of His heart in places where it hasn't been heard or
released before. To write messages that are unique and your anointing
and not trying to write how someone else does. There is an increase of
anointing and power that will flow through the writers in this new era
as the deeper yielding continues to write only what He is saying and
releasing. He is going to do more through His writings through you than
you can imagine.
There
is going to be MAJOR increases of influence and impact on His writings
through His writers in this new era. There will be an increase of "BEST
SELLERS" of His writings on the SHELVES OF THE WORLD that will change,
impact and influence secular society and bring people to the goodness,
revelation, love and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Some
of you have had the greatest battles of your life over your writings
but that is because of the INCREASE of the breaker anointing upon the
writings and the FAVOUR that He is releasing and going to release.
Steward
it well. Steward His heart well. Steward the platform He will give His
writings through you, well. Steward it with purity, giving Him Glory,
for He has accomplished it. It's by Him and through Him. It's all FOR
Him.
Many
of you are entering into the greatest writing anointing of your life.
It's time! It's time for the heartbeat of God to get even louder on the
earth through His writings through you!

“Prophetic Word for 2019: ‘My Great Partnership is Upon You!'”
Helen Cobanov, Brisbane, Australia
Get Ready!
Whilst praying into the year ahead, the Lord started to download this word to me for 2019: “MY GREAT PARTNERSHIP IS UPON YOU.” I saw the word “PARTNERSHIP” was being raised like a banner over the nations. God is looking for those who are willing to partner with Him…those who are prepared to yield every part of their lives to Him.The Lord said, “Get ready to see Me invade your life, your workplace and families, your church, ministries, cities and governments in a partnership like no other! FOR I AM REFORMING MY BRIDE and bringing her into her glorious place; PARTNERED AS ONE WITH ME. Get ready for a shifting to take place, get ready for a shaking. What looks like chaos and change, what looks like something is being removed or taken away, is a part of My plan.”
Simplify
I heard the word “SIMPLIFY.” You have a purpose and He has a plan! It’s really that simple.“So, don’t over-complicate it!” The Lord says, “I am removing the dead weight, the things that have been slowing you down or distracting you from being able to run into the fullness of what I have for you. Do not fear, don’t fight it, for I AM WITH YOU,” says the Lord. “My Spirit is at work and I am aligning you and preparing you for even GREATER things in My partnership!” (Photo via Pixabay)
Provision is Coming in Spades—Plug into His Partnership
I heard the words, “Provision in My partnership” and “PROVISION IS COMING IN SPADES.” The saying “in spades” means: in abundance, very much, in large amounts, to a very great degree. Then I heard His words, “Power
in My partnership. I am plugging you into My TRANSFORMING POWER. I am
pulling the plug on old things—old ways. I am making all things NEW.
With My partnership comes undeniable supernatural power, for I am the
hand that guides you and leads you into ALL the promises I have for your
life. So plug into Me, for I am ALL that you need.”Then He started to highlight businesses, organizations, various digital technologies, the field of design, marketing and creative industries. He said, “When you partner with Me, I HAVE YOUR BACK and I will supply ALL you need. You will make incredible ground in your field.”
“And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 NKJV)
It’s Not “Game Over” For You!
Then I saw what looked like a computer game. I saw hearts across the
top of a screen that represented how much life was left, and the hearts
were down to the last life. I felt a heaviness in my heart seeing this,
as though people are at the point where they feel like it’s nearly “game
over” for them. Then I saw a scene, similar to what you would see in
the computer game “Call of Duty”. The Lord started to speak to me about
this. Many have felt like they have been following their “Call of Duty”
but it’s been like a battlefield, and the battle has been great.“DON’T GIVE UP!” the Lord said. “I’m coming in, and I am sending in backup. I’m going to lead My people out. I have your back.” And the Lord led His people out of the battlefield. Then, just as you would see in a computer game, there were supplies and weapons along the way. The weapons were to equip you, arm you and protect you, and the supplies restored your health. As these were collected, I saw the hearts across the screen increase! I heard the words, “I WILL GIVE YOU LIFE…AND LIFE ABUNDANT.”
Your Programmer and Source Code
Then the Lord said, “I am coming into a season of downloading code. I am your source code.”
(Source code is the list of human-readable instructions that a
programmer writes, and is a powerful tool in today’s modern day world.)
He said, “I AM YOUR PROGRAMMER. I am the One
who has the plan! I am the One who will download all that you need.
Things you don’t even know yet I am about to download, for I am bringing
a new wave of technology.” (Photo via Unsplash)
Wave of Technology and Global Impact
I was prompted to look up what a “wave of technology” is and I was so amazed by what I read: A
wave of technology is known as a wide-scale dispersal of new
automation, mechanics or applied science. Technology waves are hard to
predict, yet often leave a permanent impact on a particular aspect of
culture, industry and medicine. Truly profound waves of technology impact humans on a global scale. And the Lord said, “I am coming like a wave and I will impact humans on a GLOBAL SCALE.”Then I saw the Lord downloading new things. He’s going to download new things that have NEVER been done, seen or thought of before—inventions and creations, ideas and solutions that will have a global impact. He is looking for those who are willing to yield themselves and partner with Him! Are you ready? Are you in?
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31 NKJV)

דָּבָר | davar |
The Hebrew noun דבר (davar, Strong's #1697) is translated as "word." It is derived from the parent root דר (DR), which means "order." The verb form of דבר (davar) is דבר (D.B.R, Strong's #1696) and is commonly found in the Biblical text meaning to "speak," as in the phrase vayidaber YHWH el moshe l'mor
(and YHWH spoke to Moses saying). The ancient Hebrew understanding of
"speaking," or a "speech," is an ordered arrangement of words.
The noun דבר (davar) is a masculine noun. The feminine form of this word is דברה (devorah) and is the name Deborah, but also means "bee." A bee hive is a colony of insects that live in a perfectly ordered society. Another common word derived from the noun דבר (davar) is מדבר (midvar, Strong's #4057) meaning a "wilderness". In the ancient Hebrew mind the wilderness, in contrast to the cities, is a place of order. Many people today live in the cities, a place of hurrying, rushing and high crime. The city can easily be seen as a place of chaos. On the other hand, when we want to "get away from it all" and slow down and really rest we go out to the "wilderness" to camp, take walks or sit by a lake. The wilderness is a place of order where all of nature is in a perfect balance of harmony. The verb דבר (D.B.R) may better be translated as "order" as in the phrase "And YHWH gave orders to Moses saying". A commanding officer has formulated his action plans and has determined the best means to have these plans carried out. Once all of this is determined, he gives his "orders" to his troops. These orders are "an ordered arrangement". The phrase "Ten Commandments" does not actually appear in the Hebrew Bible; instead it is aseret hadevariym and is literally translated as "the ten orders". The "Ten Commandments" are our orders from God (the general). They are an ordered arrangement of ideas that, if followed, will bring about peace and harmony. The Hebrew word דבר (davar, Strong’s #1697) demonstrates an interesting aspect of Hebrew thought. This Hebrew word is also frequently translated as “thing,” such as we can see in Numbers 18:7 where it says, “all the things of the altar.” In the Hebrew mind, “words” are “things,” they have just as much substance as any other “thing.” This helps us with understanding a few things in the Bible. When Jacob stole his brother’s birthright in Genesis 27 he took the “words” from his father Isaac that was meant for his brother. When his brother Esau came for his blessing, his father said that he had already given it to Jacob. I often wondered why Isaac couldn’t just tell Jacob that the blessing he gave him didn’t count as he stole it and then just give it to his brother. But in the Hebrew mind words cannot be taken back as they have already been spoken. It is the same as if Isaac had given Jacob something physical, say a glass of water. Once Jacob drank from the glass it cannot be taken back. We should keep this in mind when we speak. Your words have an effect on others just as we see in Proverbs 12:8; “A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, and the tongue of the wise is healing.” |
“The Landscape is Changing – Redemption, Restoration and Revelation Coming Your Way”
Amie Rogers, Peoria, IL
“May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as He has promised.” (Deut. 1:11 NIV)We are about to witness Heaven’s manifestations here on this earth in ways we never have before. I heard 1 Cor. 2:9 booming loudly, “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – the things God has prepared for those who love Him…”
Stop Limiting Heaven
What we see manifest over the declarations of “Harvest” and “Revival” will be like nothing in history. The Lord says, “Do not put Me in a box!” We have to stop limiting Heaven’s manifestations to our finite imaginations. I also felt this to be true over prayers that have appeared to go unanswered. The prayers that have been spoken and wept through for many years are being brought to the forefront.
Justice and authority will be intensifying and unfolding in previously unmovable circumstances, leaving those affected by it testifying, “Only God…” There will be victory in long-fought battles and barren desert places SUDDENLY pouring forth fruitfulness. You will also be walking out of your old identities, long-standing situations and hindrances – all the things that were blocking you, slowing you down or holding you up will be moved!
I have continually heard, “Changing the landscape” in my spirit. I sense this is just as multi-faceted as our heavenly Father. This will mean something different for each one of you. But, I felt strongly to speak on two things.
Landscape Change
I believe this “landscape change” will be physical moves and transfers to new locations. I have continually seen moving trucks in places I don’t normally see them. Unusual transitions are taking place right now and will continue as the Lord is moving each of us strategically. I also felt to say that most of them might feel ill-timed and uncertain. But know this truth: God’s movements and timing are perfect. The feelings of uncertainty will instantly fade the moment you say, “Yes” and take that first step of faith forward. Trust Him.
“I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.” (Job 42:2 NIV)
The other “landscape change” I felt very strongly about is the changing in the way we are “doing business.” This could be your actual business, your ministry, your finances and your life. However you have been currently walking in your purpose will be changing. This falls under the old versus the new. What was working for you will cease to work. It’s time to step into the new! Again, it may feel awkward and uncertain at first, but there is an upgrade and expansion that is coming with this. Trust and continually give Him your “Yes”!
“But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from Heaven. It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.” (Deut. 11:11-12 NIV)
A Mighty, Rushing Wind
In all this new, we cannot leave out or forget our quiet seeking and waiting on God. No matter what is or is not happening, we have to be waiting and listening for Him. The Lord says, “In My ‘Upper Room’ people are about to experience a new and fresh wave of My Spirit (Acts 2:2-4,11-12). Get ready to feel My mighty, rushing wind from Heaven. It will seem to come from nowhere! Feel it blow over you and fill you.
God says, “Get ready for a new language to hit your lips; your tongue will utter new sounds only heard in Heaven. This new sound will vibrate throughout Earth and bring breakthrough and freedom in ways you’ve never seen. Open your eyes, and they will see more clearly and further than they ever have. The blockages are being removed; your waiting for My move has shifted more than you’ve seen. I am anointing you with fresh oil from My throne room. Get up and go! I am leading you!”
Stop sitting in beautiful places (Acts 3:1-10), begging for things you already posses. Take hold of His hand and stand to your feet. Declare of His goodness and all He has brought you out of. You are healed; you are prosperous in so many ways.
“I Am Redeeming Dreams”
I saw golden oil being poured out from Heaven and as I saw this flowing down, it was landing on peoples’ heads and hands. Then I heard the Lord say, “I am redeeming dreams.”
I immediately was reminded of a dream I had when I was about sixteen years old and had walked away from God. In this dream, I was six years old (the age when I first gave my life to Christ). I was walking with Jesus in Heaven. I still remember, vividly, the golden streets, the indescribable colors, His face; everything. I was holding His hand as we walked to this bridge. As we stood in the middle of the bridge, looking out at the crystal-clear sea, this very dark, slimy, gross creature walked up to us. It told me someone wanted to see me. At that moment, I let go of Jesus’ hand, took the hand of the creature and began to walk. As we walked down the other side of the bridge, it went from golden streets to a dark, wet and moldy looking cobblestone one. I also changed from my innocent, six-year-old self, to the current age I was. The dream got darker from there, which I won’t continue on.
About a year ago, I had this same dream. I was walking with Jesus in Heaven. Again, the same scenery, but I was the age I am now. I wasn’t holding Jesus’ hand, but holding tightly and hugging His arm, resting my head on His shoulder. Again, we walked to this bridge; we looked out and then continued to walk down the other side. As we continued forward, conversing, an angel came up to us and placed two, large diamonds in my hand. The diamonds were so large I could barely hold them.
“You, Lord, took up my case; You redeemed my life.” (Lam. 3:58 NIV)
I share these to tell you, He is not only redeeming our dreams, but He is bringing healing, restoration and revelation to you in this redemption! I felt led to share this specific dream because I believe the revelation in the new dream is for some of you. The number two can represent a number of things. It can represent our testimony, a reward, a multiplication, keys and/or a double portion. Many of you have been asking the Lord for these things – you desire to testify of His goodness in your specific situations. This is His answer and promise to you!
Diamond, in the Greek language, is “adamas” and it means “unconquerable.” Many of you have felt defeated, overwhelmed, bent under all the pressure, but the Lord is calling you His adamas. In Him and with Him, you are unconquerable!
When diamonds are examined, the examiners looks at their cut, their color, their clarity and their carat weight. Your cut has been done by Heaven and is to Heaven’s perfect standards. Your color is clear and flawless. Your clarity is unique and according to Heaven, without blemish. Your carat carries the weight of Heaven. Everywhere you go, His light is shining through you – you are a gift to Him, you are a gift to others from Him. You are a carrier of His glory and you are of high value!
Get ready! “…You are My servant, Israel, in whom I will show My glory.” (Is. 49:3 NASB)
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the majesty in Heaven.” (Heb. 1:3 NIV)
