A bar owner brought "Randy," a sheet of shiny steel, in an alley to protect it from the fight causing thousands of dollars in damage inside. It glowed for many months when the sun hit, causing all to see that it was protected. "I am valued," he boasted that which was around him. But the bottles, cans, plastic bags, and other garbage didn't believe him, and kept telling him that he was trash. "You are no better than us," they said. "They threw you out here to decay, to wither away, until you are nothing." One day, in a raging thunderstorm with a torrential downpour, Randy gave up. He accepted the words of the trash around him. All the protective coating he had been given slowly disappeared, and he was left unguarded to face the elements of the world. Over time, he became riddled with holes, rusted and decayed beyond recognition.
Psalm 26:8 "LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells." We are so blessed to be the chosen people created before the foundation of the world to be the habitations of God. We are the privileged people designed to be vessels of His surpassing glory. God calls us to enter into the fullness and simplicity of this life. Religion makes things complex. Jesus simplifies. Life in Him is simple, but sacrificial. There are verses in the scriptures that are keys and unlock the blessings of many other promises of God revealed in the scriptures.
One night as I was at a church conference the Lord brought my attention to the worshipers. Many of them were dancing with abandon, rejoicing exuberantly and others were worshiping passionately with multicolored flags. They were all continuously moving as they glorified Jesus under an extraordinary anointing. As I observed them, the Lord showed me a picture of a shooting gallery with moving targets. The faster the targets moved, the more challenging it was for the shooter to hit them. The Holy Spirit said, "A moving target is more difficult to aim at than a sitting duck."
I had a dream recently where the Lord showed me three things. I saw the name "Jeremiah" which I knew was representing the prophet Jeremiah. I then saw an almond branch and it was and followed soon after was a HUGE juicy, sweet, ripe peach. As I was waking the Lord began to speak to me. "The word of the Lord came to me: 'What do you see, Jeremiah?' 'I see the branch of an almond tree,' I replied. The Lord said to me, 'You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my Word is fulfilled.'" (Jeremiah 1:11-12 MSG Translation)
The tallest building in the world is 32604 inches high. It was built inch by inch. Carefully crafted together piece by piece. Now that it is finished we don't see it as inch by inch but instead we see it as the tallest building in the world, though what we really see is what happens when you put 32604 inches together one at a time. Have a look at snowflakes, which are one of the weakest things in nature. Yet if you put thousands of them together they are capable of stopping traffic and bringing a whole city to a stand still. These two things on their own are meaningless but string enough of them together and you can see the extraordinary take place.
You are crossing over. I believe that with every fiber of my being. You are in the midst of transition and MAJOR changes. I feel this as a corporate word over the Body of Christ, and I realize there are people out there that this won't apply to. If this doesn't apply to you, then that's ok but I feel this word burning in my bones.
I woke up at 1:01am this morning. I have been having many visions recently, and the vision has been becoming more clear over the past several days. As of this morning, I believe I fully understand what the Spirit of the Lord has been speaking to me. He is saying, "Come, come unto Me. Come up here." In these visions, I keep seeing scrolls, chariots of fire, and the living creatures. I find myself still undone by visions of the Seraphim angel, who in Isaiah 6 took the coal, cleaned Isaiah's lips, and set his heart ablaze for the commission (referred to as the "burning ones" in Isaiah 6:1-7).
I had an encounter with the Lord on Father's Day (June 18, 2017) in which God said that He is now releasing greater revelation and details about your eternal purpose and destiny. This is going to start in the month of July and He is going to show you hidden things that have been holding you back in the past. On Father's Day, God said that He is going to reveal Himself to you as a father does to a son or daughter. I will reveal the eternal purpose of God. For he has decreed over Me, "You are my favored Son. And as your Father I have crowned You as My King Eternal. Today I have given you glory! You only need to ask Me to give You the nations and they shall become Your legacy. Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth." Psalm 2:7–8 TPT
Abram's descendant Jacob experienced a desert sleep, which allowed him to see a heavenly stairway that joined the gateway of heaven to an entrance point on earth. The Lord's angelic messengers were ascending and descending upon the ladder delivering the Lord's prophetic declarations and visions to Jacob as he slept.
The prophetic is discerned when it's applied. Revelation from God is truly understood when we respond to it and do something with it. Respecting or fearing God enough to put our revelation to work is simply wisdom. Revelation is the idea, wisdom is the resulting initiative – how we interpret the application it in our vocation and mountain.
Let's define the term: Prophetic Centrist – Courageous exploits, abundant fruit and sound cash flow instead of fringe doctrine, strained revelation and leaps of faith (when wisdom and revelation are balanced).
