This is truly a time when the voice of the Lord is being spoken from many different people in many different ways to many different culture groups. It doesn’t take much to hear His voice these days. Indeed, just going to a Spirit-sensitive church will allow most people the opportunity to do just that. His voice is booming across the land. People Hear it! It doesn’t take much. Just HEAR Him! Stop the busyness, stop the procrastinating, Stop the self-indulging, Stop the delusion. Open your ears, open your heart, open your mind. Freedom is the end result of hearing. Salvation is the beginning and the continuing end. In the middle is the fear of the Lord. Come, be free, be saved, be wise. The price of freedom, the price of salvation, the price of wisdom is only found in Another. The one, the only, the One that brings an understanding of the deeper things of life, the One that brings depth, the One that brings love. COME!

I will perform what I have said.
I will hold you tight.
I will never stop loving you.
You do need to know what I say
Look to My Word, look to My prophets and look to your heart. I am there.
Dare to seek.

” If the same SPIRIT of HIM that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, He will quicken your mortal body by HIS SPIRIT that dwells in you.” ROMANS 8:11
The above scripture has been in my heart for several weeks now and I want to share it along with some thoughts I’ve been meditating on. First of all, I am at this point in time where I have an ever increasing hunger to see the supernatural of GOD manifest in my own life and body, as well as in the church. I have had an ever growing deep spiritual understanding of seasons, and a desire to walk in the supernatural of GOD. I have been asking the Lord to speak to me again through dreams and visitations of HIS SPIRIT. I want to tap into the natural ability that GOD has given me and to go beyond the normal (natural) into the supernatural. I believe that GOD wants to stir vision in me/us and sharpen our spiritual perception. GOD wants to impart vision to our hearts as we become more sensitive to HIS spirit, and as we/I spend extensive time in intimate fellowship with HIM.
“Who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should see and hear HIS word.” JEREMIAH 23:18
The LORD has revelation - secrets that HE wants to reveal to us. I want to call forth the prophetic that is within us to step up to the next level of what the Lord has for us. However, it will require laying aside things that may not be sin, but a distraction to standing in the council of the Lord. It may require us to put aside some things that have become Idols in our lives.
Back to dreams and visitations of the spirit, let me share two of my favorite scriptures. In 2 CORINTHIANS 12:2 the apostle Paul write, “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, GOD knows, such a man was caught up into the third heaven and heard inexpressible words…“GENESIS and HEBREWS 11:5 talks about Enoch and states that Enoch, “walked with GOD and GOD took him.” Moses also during his 40days of fasting on Mt. Sinai was given the blueprint for the Tabernacle. EXODUS 24,25 and HEBREWS 8:5. All these passages reflect being in a trance like, or out of body experience with the LORD where a person’s spirit leaves the earth realm. Also John while on the Island exiled saw and was given the book of REVELATION. The prophet Ezekiel described many of his visionary experiences as being, “lifted up by the spirit.” EZEKIEL 3:14,“The Spirit of the Lord lifted me up and took me away…” I am not trying to be weird here but i do believe that the LORD is calling a few of us to a deeper walk. Many of the mystical things have been given a bad name because of occult counterfeits of GOD’s original supernatural. Steve in his sermon on December 7, 2008, Christmas From the Lions Den, sparked something that i have been mediating on regarding the mystical and supernatural of GOD. He was talking about the wise-men that came to worship the baby JESUS and how they had been trained in the mystical arts in Babylon and how the prophet Daniel had actually influenced them from their occult practice to a more biblical Godly form of the prophetic.
I am praying that in this year 2009, we will walk in newness of body, soul and spirit. I am praying that some of us will make the final shift into the Prophetic / Seer realm, and begin to function in that office. I am praying that GOD will restructure our spiritual DNA.
MALACHI 4:5 and 6 says, “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.”
LUKE 1:16,17 “And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the LORD their GOD. He will go before him in the spirit and the power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the LORD.”
I believe in the next twenty years as the church in the earth if we do nothing except worship the King, and mentor sons & daughters, taking them with us on our spiritual journey, reproducing ourselves, we will have accomplished much in the Kingdom of GOD. The key I believe is in the model of Elijah and Elisha. Of all the examples in scripture why would the LORD use Elijah as the fathering model? 2Kings 2:12 states that as Elijah is being taken up in the whirl wind to heaven Elisha cries out, “My Father, My Father.” Elisha was viewing Elijah as his spiritual father in the Lord.
In this next year 2009 / 5769, we must step into the fullness of all that GOD has for us. One Saturday night while in prayer, I heard the Lord say that HE was going to MANTLE us. We must step into our calling, and as we do, we must take sons and daughters with us on this journey of faith. GOD wants to direct our path in a very intimate and profound way that will literally change the way we have operated in the past. That is true REFORMATION!

While Steve and I were in Cancun (our trip to Cuba that was blocked by God) I had a prophetic dream and toward the end of the dream the Lord had me do a prophetic act in front of a body of believers. As I stood in front of a rather large crowd of church people this is what the Lord directed me to do. I took out a bottle of germ-x and began to clean my hands. As they continued watching me impatiently the Lord said to tell them, “GET YOUR LIFE IN ORDER, BECAUSE I AM COMING WITH JUDGMENT AND THERE CAN NOT BE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT WOULD BRING REPROACH ON MY NAME.”
After this I woke up from the dream with the impression that God is telling his church that we must clean our hands (life), or a HOLY GOD will clean them for us.
I sense judgment is around the corner, but those of us who know our God will be preserved.

On December 16, 2007, the Lord spoke to me through three prophetic dreams. The theme of the first was that God was calling forth a Nazarite Company and giving them spiritual strategies to war with in prayer. This was one of numerous words and dreams on the subject. The theme of the second dream was that GOd was warning us that we need to get our lives in order because a day is coming when there will be someone who comes to assassinate our character. If our lives are in order there will be nothing that the enemy can hold against us. During this dream the enemy was looking through our stuff. First through our wallets, then through our identification, our libraries, and lastly at where we go and what we do. The enemy could find nothing out of order.
The third dream was exactly like the second except at the end of the dream the enemy found something to hold against me. As this was happening I was filled with grief, and remorse. Because there was something that could be found against me the Father’s prophetic words spoken by me were rejected. As I woke up I felt the warning of the Lord to clean house spiritually, and in the natural. “Consecrate yourself.”

We declare that we will align ourselves with you Lord. We will take off the old garments and step into the new season you have for us, “No more old cycles!” As I decare this I see lightening from heaven striking his people and the electrical charge is activating us. Activate us Lord and we will respond!
We declare that this day we will begin to walk in our gifting and we will break off the fear of man.
We call forth the Nazarites and those who will consecrate their walk and life.
