Are You Being Called to Birth Something New?

Wanda Alger, Winchester, VA

In a recent dream, I had just given birth. Within a few short hours, I was walking out the front door with this new baby on a small platform. I was cradling it in my arms knowing that this platform the baby was resting on was meant to represent new life to the world. By the time I got in my car, this baby had already grown to the point of sitting up and talking and communicating with my driver.

Are You Having Birthing Dreams?

Many people are having dreams about giving birth because this is a season of creative expansion and multiplication. Whether it is ministries, networks, businesses, initiatives, or some other creative endeavor, the Holy Spirit is bringing forth new expressions of the Kingdom that are exuding with supernatural life and power. Even for those who are just now giving birth to these things, there will be a sudden increase and growth that is exponential and seemingly unnatural. This growth will not follow the previous patterns of growth, but will seem to expand and increase overnight. This is in order to bring forth the greatest fruit with the greatest grace.

A Platform of New Life

“To the dreamers and visionaries who are about to give birth to their dream: Prepare for the unexpected and plan for the unknown.“

The “platform” that the baby was resting on represents the platforms of many initiatives that are being birthed along with the new works. Where the tendency is to usually look for an established “ministry platform” or well-known connection in order to present a new work or idea, the Lord is saying that He is also birthing many new platforms.
These venues and means of presentation and promotion will be complimentary to that which is birthed and will grow along with the new work. To those who are feeling the birth pangs of these new things, expect to also birth innovative ways of communicating, sharing, presenting, and collaborating in the Kingdom. Some of you are going to pioneer something totally new – something never done before! You will give birth to your own platform.

Another Dream: God’s Purpose Behind the New Thing

In a different dream, I was touring a new house I was considering buying. It looked like an Italian Villa with soaring ceilings, stucco walls and pillars, verandas, and all the pomp and circumstance of high-living. It was impressive and I was anticipating the reality of living in this “dream home.”
However, as I walked through I began to see problems. There was a leak in the roof above the porch area. The bedrooms were actually in the hallways cleverly hidden by curtains. The bathrooms were old, and there was a dead rat on the kitchen floor. (Photo via Max Pixel)
It slowly dawned on me in the dream that though this house would certainly appear impressive to those on the outside, the inner-workings were not updated, didn’t provide adequate protection or provision, and had holes. My “dream home” was simply not adequate for what I knew I needed – or who I had become.
The Lord is showing us that there are new wineskins that are needed to house the fresh wine of the Spirit. What you thought might “house” your ministry, your business, or your dream, might not be what God has in mind for you. He might actually have something much different or better. More than just appearances, His design is for His sons and daughters to bring forth ministries and initiatives that have abundant provision, supernatural protection from the enemy, healthy relationships, and are free from strongholds of the past. This is what will bring forth long-lasting fruit for generations to come!
Start thinking differently and listen to your heart. You may carry the seeds of something never done before. Take a risk and consider the possibility of what God might want to bring forth in you and through you!

The Small is the New Big

As I continued to pray into this, the Lord reminded me how much He has been speaking about healthy relationships and family. Many prophetic voices have been speaking of the importance of family relationships and especially healthy relationships in the family of God. It was said near the end of last year, in regard to the Church, that the “…small is the new big.”

“Many people are having dreams about giving birth because this is a season of creative expansion and multiplication.“

Rather than assuming churches should seek to become larger and that bigger is better, the Lord is saying that community will become increasingly strategic and powerful for Believers. It is not the size, but the quality of relationships that will determine the effectiveness of the Kingdom.

The New Wineskins – Built From Relationships

For some, if you have wondered why things are not moving faster or you feel stuck in a rut, consider your relationships. The Lord is adamant about timely and effective collaboration and the sons and daughters working together. He is also sovereignly closing some doors to connections that you thought were good. This is not a sin issue or personal failing, but a matter of being properly aligned with those with the same values, heart connection, and call. What you can’t see right now – He does. Trust Him with the doors He is opening and the ones He is closing.
God knows who you need to be connected to in order to bear the most fruit. Not everyone will be doing the same thing the same way. Much creativity is ahead. If there doesn’t seem to be an “outlet” for you right now, it may be because it hasn’t been birthed yet! Pray for this birthing process and season of new beginnings. Pray that your heart would be rightly postured and ready to respond when the water breaks. Pray to be rightly aligned with those whom the Lord is sovereignly putting in your path in this season.

A Season of Creative Innovation

We are entering a season of unprecedented creative innovation and design. He is taking us back to the garden where He created us to steward all that He has given us. He is reminding us of the joy of being life-givers and ones who grow and multiply that which we give life to. He is taking us back to His standard of growth, expansion, and productivity which is supernatural and massive. (Photo via Pixabay)
To the dreamers and visionaries who are about to give birth to their dream: Prepare for the unexpected and plan for the unknown. The One who has been feeding your dream is also preparing your presentation. Do not limit Him – or yourself. Know that the God inside of you is even bigger than the God around you. That which is coming forth will surprise many, but it will be a beautiful manifestation of what the Creator put in you from the very beginning. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Word of the Lord:
My chosen ones, listen to your Lord and God this day.  I tell you a truth, you are about to embark on an exciting journey with your Lord.  Oh, how it thrills My heart to share this with you.  For many of you have been in your wilderness waiting faithfully upon Me.  And now I tell you, the time is now for you to go forward in Me.  For I am moving and leading My chosen ones into a new era.  An era like none other.
Do not look back.  I tell you, forget the former things, for I am doing something new, and it shall surely spring forth. Get ready, for you are about to take off in the Spirit like never before.   If you would be willing to take Me by the hand, I shall lead you into new and exciting things in the Spirit realm.  Oh, if but you can believe and receive this….  For I am excited for you and excited over you.  If you would be willing, I shall take you to heights in the Spirit which you have never experienced before. Does this not excite you?  For truly, I tell you that it excites Me.
For these are the days in which I shall begin to enlighten those who would choose to be part of My bride.  I shall reveal and open scriptures to you in ways that you have never perceived before. Revelation shall flow from my throne room to My people as they prepare themselves to be My bride.  And, I tell you this, My anointed apostles and prophets shall step out of hiding and take their place.  Oh, I do not speak of the many who have called themselves apostles or prophets.  No, it is My TRUE apostles and prophets which I have had hidden in caves of my choosing whom shall suddenly come upon the scene and declare My truths and My revelations to those who would have ears to hear.  And I shall use these ones to shake My people awake from their slumber.  And My chosen ones shall shake off their slumber and trim their wicks.  Oh, these are truly exciting days, My people.
Now listen, do not be disheartened if you see things within the churches of man begin to shake and crumble.  For I am calling My obedient ones to come out from among all this unclean, and this includes the fallen churches of man.  Oh yes, I still have remnant churches where my children have not bowed down to Baal.  Yet, even in these churches, there shall be shakings.  For I am removing and separating the profane from the holy, the wheat from the tares.
So then, when you witness churches go through My shakings, take heart that it is I preparing a people to separate themselves wholly unto Me.  For now is the time that I say to My people, arise, for your light has come.  Shake yourselves from your slumber, My people, and seek My kingdom and My righteousness.  For I say unto you, no longer follow the doctrines of man and seek My face and My will instead.  Come up higher and sit where I sit and see things from My perspective.  Surely you will begin to see things from a new light and just how detestable the doctrines of man are in My sight.
Oh, My people, listen to Me this day.  I am shaking all that can be shaken and things will begin to change exponentially.  No longer expect the mundane, yet expect newness of life.  Do not seek for a rapture out of the earth, yet seek for a rapture of your spirit man into My presence.  Surely, you shall not be disappointed in this.  For I have much work for My church to accomplish in the earth realm before the end shall come.
Oh, My chosen ones, this is truly a great day and I shall do a great wonder among My people.  I tell you, no longer expect things to be the norm or as usual.  For I am doing a new thing and it shall surely spring forth in the midst of those who would believe.  Yet, I also give you this warning; do not believe the report of those who doubt in their hearts just as the Israelites of old believed the 10 unbelieving spies over the report of My Joshua and Caleb who had faith.  For this is a new day and surely My Spirit has already gone before you to make a way.  Victory is yours, My children.  Take hold of this in your hearts this day.  Victory is assured so long as you believe and take hold of it.  For the battle is Mine, and I have already declared your victory in Me.
Now listen.  Get alone with Me in your prayer closets and do this often.  I will meet with you and create a miracle within your hearts if you would believe.  For you are in the last days, My children, and no longer shall fear or unbelief be found within My remnant.  For My remnant shall be conquerors and shall go forth to conquer as I give out My orders in these last days.
So then, prepare your hearts to receive from Me and doubt not.  Surely, I shall do a mighty work in the hearts of those who would believe.  And fear not what is before for you.  For I shall never leave nor forsake you and you SHALL win against the enemy of your soul if you would believe and doubt not.
I love you, My people, with an everlasting love.  Take heart and encourage yourselves in Me this day.  Oh, I know that things have been hard.  For many of My chosen ones, circumstances seemingly have been dreary and dead.  Yet I tell you, lift up your heads this day and stretch out your faith just one more time.  For I tell you this, now is the time for your miracle, and you shall not be disappointed.  Just as Peter was distraught and discouraged after working all night to catch fish and caught not one, yet he said; because you say so, I will let down the nets.  So, I tell you, try once more and reach out with your faith to believe for your miracle.  I am waiting to show Myself strong on behalf of those who would believe with an upright heart.  So, fret not and believe once more.  For I declare that you shall not be disappointed….

The Lord is Changing the Landscape of the Cultural Mountains
Katie Barker, Australia
We are living in exciting times where the Lord is moving in a powerful way. The Lord is changing the landscape of the cultural mountains which will lead to transformation of nations. The Lord gave me this same vision a few days in a row when I spent time in His presence. I knew He was sending me a message He wanted released to the Body of Christ.

A Vision of a Mountain

“The cultural mountains will align with the ways of God and God’s agenda will flow down the mountains.“

I saw a vision of a large mountain. All of a sudden a mighty rush of water burst through the top section of the mountain. I was surprised by the power and volume of the water. It was so strong that the top section of the mountain crumbled and fell away as the water burst through the solid rock formation of the mountain. The rock broke away in an instant.
I was taken aback with how the landscape of the mountain changed after the water burst through. The mountain had been altered and transformed. I noticed that the water that had broken through the mountain then fanned out in a wide-reaching spray of water. The water showered the land in every direction around the mountain.
I saw the land surrounding the mountain become lush, green and alive from the water. Lights began to turn on all through the residential areas of the land. One after the other lights turned on in a cascade of brightness. The water, as a shower of blessing, was transforming the land and igniting the towns where the people lived. The transformation of the mountain was impacting the surrounding landscape in such a positive way.
I then heard the Lord say, “The power and flow of My Spirit is going to break open and break through the ‘mountains’ of society. One mountain after another will be impacted and changed by My Spirit. I am changing the cultural mountains, and impact of this change will be evident in the world. I am invading the top of the mountains, as from the top, influence and change will flow down. (Photo via Pixabay)

“Structures and people of great influence at the top of these mountains will encounter the power of My Spirit. They will be radically changed, realigned and repositioned. These mountains will be forever changed following the flow of My Spirit and living water through them.

“As things not of Me are shaken and removed and My glory is revealed, showers of My blessing will flow and have far-reaching impact. Strongholds are coming down and My plans are being ushered in on the prayers and decrees of My people. Do not think any mountain is too great or out of My reach. My people will ignite change as they stand in prayer to see My plans come to pass. Watch for My power and Word to break through mountains of this day. Mountains will be transformed dramatically and suddenly in a way not seen before.”

What is God Saying to Us?

I believe the Lord is inviting His people to align with His will and to intercede and usher in His plans and purposes across all areas of society within their nations. As His people pray and decree His Word, mountains of society will be transformed suddenly. Strongholds will be brought down and the landscape of the mountains of society will be forever changed by the impact of the hand of God.
God will bring a shaking which will cause realignment and repositioning. The cultural mountains will align with the ways of God and God’s agenda will flow down the mountains. Blessings will flow from the transformation and have far-reaching effects throughout lands and nations.

“One mountain after another will be impacted and changed by My Spirit. I am changing the cultural mountains, and impact of this change will be evident in the world.“

The nations that see transformation of cultural mountains (to align with the ways of God) will be nations that are a “light on a hill” to others. They will radiate with the glory of the Lord and others will be drawn to their light. Isaiah 60:3 (NASB): “Nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
We are in a time where the Lord is asking His people to partner with Him to bring radical change. He is calling His people to rise up in their authority in Him and to take their place to impact their area of influence and bring glory to His name.
The Lord is using everyday people who have surrendered all to Him and who are humble, passionate in their love for Him and obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our seating and reigning with Christ is a position of authority and triumph. The more we understand our identity, the more we will impact our world.
More than ever, now is the time to awaken to our position as co-heirs with Christ and to understand our true identity and authority as children of God. Romans 8:16-17 (NASB) says, “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.” Ephesians 2:6 (TPT) says, “He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now joined as one with Christ!” (Photo via Flickr)
We are also to understand the supernatural power given to us to speak and proclaim God’s Word over areas that need transformation. God’s Word will accomplish His desires and purposes. John 6:63 (NASB) says, “…The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” Hebrews 4:12 (NIV): “For the Word of God is alive and active…” Isaiah 55:11 (NASB): “So will My Word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty; without accomplishing what I desire; and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”
The Lord is moving in a new way and we will see powerful and sudden transformation of the mountains of our societies in a way not seen before. Then we will see the transformation of nations as we take up His invitation to partner with Him to usher in His plans.

IT IS TIME FOR THE SONG TO RISE!!
Lana Vawser
This morning I heard the Lord saying "It's time, it's time, it's time for THE SONG TO RISE!"
I saw Him looking at those who feel like they have had the life sucked out of them. Those that are feeling battered and bruised by the storms of life and situations around them. Those that feel they are spinning like spinning tops that cannot stop because of the confusion that surrounds. Those whose hearts are hurting, breaking, grieving in the waiting, in the darkness, in the hardship.
Those who feel they have LOST THEIR SONG. Those who feel like they cannot lift their voice and sing because the joy and hope has been knocked out of them by what they have been walking through.
Those whose hearts are full of fear that to stand has become so wearying and they are looking for the nearest place to hide.
Those whose hearts are screaming with pain because of what they have faced and the disappointment that continues to build....those who feel the weariness in the "waiting" has just become too much.
Those who feel like there is no escape. Those whose eyes have been searching for the "way out", the deliverance, the breakthrough to lift them from the pit of despair..
TO THOSE... I heard the Lord say "IT IS TIME! IT IS TIME FOR THE SONG TO RISE!!!! It's the SONG of VICTORY! It's the SONG of HEALING! It's the SONG of RESTORED HOPE! It's the SONG of FREEDOM! It's the SONG of JOY!It's the NEW SONG for the NEW SEASON! It's a NEW SONG! It's the SEVENTH MOMENT SONG! It's the SONG of the walls coming down! It's the SONG of VISION that sees further than it EVER HAS. It is a SONG that will release the tipping point of heaven in your life to see the DRY BONES SUDDENLY LIVE. The DEAD places of your heart, soul and LIFE will SUDDENLY come to life"
I heard the Lord decreeing Isaiah 35:4:
"Say to those with fearful hearts...Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you.”
The VENGENCE, VINDICATION, RESTORATIVE RECOMPENSE of the Lord is upon you.
Not only is the Lord now coming to DESTROY your enemies and coming to SAVE YOU, He is RESTORING YOUR SONG!
I decree the DARK NIGHT IS ABOUT TO BREAK! I decree that you will be FULL of hope for the future. I decree that you will be FULL of BURNING PASSION, and carry a DEEP FIRE in your belly for all that He has called you to do, and to do it with great JOY. I decree the song of HOPE and VICTORY is rising up out of you where a NEW DAY is SUDDENLY bursting forth! I decree no more torment, but a LOUD SONG of PEACE! I decree that not only will you be full of HOPE again, you will have VISION to see further and dream bigger than you have EVER done before.
Not only is the Lord saving you, delivering you, healing you, freeing you, increasing you, extending you, adding to you, I decree that the Lord will rise you up SUDDENLY out of this pit of despair and darkness with a song of authority so heavily that you will begin to release the song over others and they will SUDDENLY receive breakthrough and released into greater freedom and vision for all God is doing.
The enemy is trying to kill many of you in many ways, but the POWER OF GOD, the VENGEANCE of God is upon you and SUDDENLY EVERYTHING is about to change. You will COME BACK STRONGER!
The dark night is about to break!!!

UNSEEN Prophecy from Kim Clement of Donald Trump Feb 2014

BLESSINGS FROM FATHER GOD
Shared by Yolanda Ballard

My children, I have heard your prayers, and I delight in your presence for you honor Me. And there is no one else in the whole world that can honor me the way you do for you are unique, My children. You fill a specific purpose for Me that no one else can fill. And I delight in your faithfulness to come apart from the world and sit before Me as My children.

So, I bless you as you go and do the things I have called you to do. No matter how humdrum they may be to you, do them to My glory and be blessed in doing them. For My anointing is upon you always for you are My called out ones, and I will do great things through you. So be still and know that I am God, and that there is no other god before you. You are My faithful few, and I love you so deeply. So continue to draw unto Me and I will draw unto you. Be still and know that I am God.

Yes, My children, I have brought you to this time and to this hour that you may trust in Me fully and completely. You are My children and I am your God, and there is no one that could ever fill your place. For I love you with a never ending love, a love that can never be broken. So yield to Me, My children. Let Me do that deep and complete work in you that you desperately need and are longing after for.

I cannot do the work unless you open up your hearts to Me completely. And I will come in and sup with you and bless you beyond comparison to the ways of the world. Anything that you have ever experienced will not compare to what I have to pour out upon you. So rest, My children, and know that I am God and that I am a big god, bigger than you could ever imagine perceiving with the natural realm, bigger than words can portray. So rest, My children, for I have begun the good and perfect work in you, and I am faithful to complete it, says your God.

My children come into My throne room of grace for this is where I will meet with you. Be consistent in seeking My face, not sporadically, but as a way of life to come before Me. You are My children, and I AM your Father, and I love you so. Come feast with Me around My throne of glory. I want to pour out so much of My fullness upon you. I want to fill you to overflowing of My glory and grace that I may touch those around you. I want to fill you with My compassion and My mercy. I want to move through you with greater works.

So, My children, don’t be weary or downhearted. I AM more than able to use you to the fullest capacity of My power. Be faithful to seek Me early, and know that I AM God, and there is no other than Me. I AM in control of all that you face daily, and all things work together for your good for you love Me. I see your heart, and you desperately want to please Me with your time. Don’t be weary, just rest in My faithfulness that it is I who began a good work in you and I will complete it. Rest in where you are in Me at this point and know that it will not be long before you will really take off. You will run with what I will give you to share with others.

Come into that secret place, My children, for there is where I will meet with you! Do not let the distractions of the world hinder you from coming before Me…from spending those intimate moments with Me that I have called you to. I want to refresh you with My presence. I want to restore you with My love. I want to fill you to overflowing with My glory. I want to use you mightily in these end times. But you have to be made ready in My presence.

And in My love I will set you free to set the captives free. Yes, I have to set you free first, My children, before you can minister to any other. So come before Me so I may heal you and restore you and set you ablaze with My love. For I love you so much and want to spend time with you so that you may feast on My word and be blessed and encouraged and made on fire to go out and do My bidding in this world.

So come before Me and be made whole. Open up your hearts completely to Me and let me heal you. Let Me bring those walls down so I can completely touch you with My love. Do not hold back any longer. Be set apart for My purposes alone. And do not be sidetracked with busyness and complacency any longer and be refreshed in My love, says your God.
