January 2016
Today is 1/11 and a time of rapid acceleration begins today. The window of 11/1 to 1/11 was important for taking steps and stands of faith. That window was about Faith and this window is about Acceleration into promises and rewards. This will be an exciting time with incredible change happening very fast.
Though this is primarily a good thing, I have to also insert a very serious word of caution. Some of the rewards being accelerated into can be less than desirable. The Lord has been speaking to me much about the consequences of a critical spirit. Unrighteous accusations, dishonor, and judgments will bring about two very undesired ends. One is that it literally eats up your rewards as your judgments come back on you to the same measure you have meted them out. Number two, unrighteous judgments produce their own negative harvest.
It is important to be aware that most of the promises, inheritances, and jubilee blessings that God is proposing for us will just not happen if our instrument of life or death (our tongue- verbal or written) has been speaking death. This is particularly so if it is about leaders - political or Christian, who have been given authority by God. Jude verse 9, tells us that even Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him. If the authority that God had given even the devil had to be considered by Michael, then how much more so- political and Christian leaders today even if they are not perfect.
An important question to ask ourselves is have we unwittingly joined the wrong side and become an additional accuser- which is what Satan's name means. It is not just that it is "a sin". It is that it is a sin that will keep you relegated to wilderness realities as opposed to entering into inheritance. You can not pray or rebuke the devil enough to overcome the effects of unrighteous judgments on your destiny. The enemy has rights over us to the degree our wrong judgments empower him.
Repenting is the only method of undoing what was done and then making sure our tongue becomes a source of life and not death. This will not be one of my most popular posts but it contains some of the most vital advice that I can give. My heart in it is that I so want to see all of you step into the amazing inheritances and rewards God is now pouring out on His kids. We don't want to miss the benefits of this unprecedented season. He is for us and not against us.
So the Stock Market is buckling a bit. The Sovereignty of our God is going to be increasingly clear as we advance through this year of Jubilee. One way to observe it even presently is in the adjustments/bumps Wall Street is presently going through. In His grace, He orchestrated so that this did not happen in September or October. Doom and gloom scenarios were so widely expected that the Christian-engineered panic might have virtually collapsed the market.
It is obvious China is needing to make and will make some adjustments - and God will help them with that. They are not going to be devastated either. Their immediate pain will translate into long term gain. God will have mercy on China. Their economy will kick in again and surprise the so-called economic experts.
On the good news end of things for the United States, the dollar is stronger than ever and oil prices continue to drop. That does create pain in certain sectors but the world energy source is being shifted away from oil (as I covered in my book Seven Mountain Mantle). I won't pretend to know all the timing for the markets up and downs but I will tell you God is in charge and He is watching over everything. He will also expose necessary economic cancers.
If you are invested in the market, you will be in best shape if first of all you stay calm and connect to the Holy Spirit. Then shift into courage and boldness as your spirit senses what He is saying to you. Do not respond out of fear- or out of greed. Respond out of trust in God. Honestly, you have no business having any investment in Wall Street if you are not bringing Him into the picture. This is no time to go with prevailing winds or trends that He isn't confirming. There is no finer economist on the planet besides the Holy Spirit and if you will give Him the chance He will give you your buying and selling cues like no one else. He can be trusted.
GET OUT OF FEAR BECAUSE OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR! Read it here first if you want. There will be no collapse of the economy! This is not 2008 all over again! There will be no repeat of that contraction!
Wall Street is freaking out because it has not yet managed how to absorb the reality of the oil glut we are experiencing. It will begin to figure that out- as well as adjust to the potential loan defaults of oil investments. So then the question to ask yourself if you are invested in the stock market is "What would I do if I had no fear?" Then do that. If you are in Wall Street neutralize the fear. It will be contagious.
There are "gold veins" available for those who will stay - not in greed- but in boldness. This reality will continue throughout the year. Every market shake will create an opportunity. Some of these things you should be able to see ahead - by the Spirit- as opposed to being guided by the economic "experts". Remember the "experts" have us expecting $200 a barrel oil as opposed to the $25 a barrel we are looking at. They have been wrong almost across the board on a whole range of economic matters the last couple of years. This is likely to increase.
I see a vision of the Lord and He is standing inside the New York Stock Exchange with a gavel of authority. He is looking for faith, courage, joy, and hope from those that trust Him and love His kingdom. He will even step in and manipulate the market based on seeing these values. I tell you He is absolutely Lord of Wall Street and though He knows that much that is happening there is operating under Mammon, He is not going to allow satan to crash our economy. God wants us out of the fear and greed of Mammon- but He is going patiently work with us on that. Satan wants the world's economy to collapse- and he wants it now. He is going to fail! Live and respond like you know that.
I have further understanding of the massive golden eagle that I have been seeing in the spirit, flying up and down all of California preparing for something huge. Yesterday we went to the initial pastors meeting for the AzusaNow2016 April 9 event lead by Lou Ingle (The Call). It was significant. We met at the Los Angeles Coliseum (110,000 seating) where the event will take place and there had been an expectation of 250 pastors. Near 600 actually showed up and there was a great representation of all races and many movements.
April 9 will end up being a 15-hour event (the 110th anniversary of the Azusa St. revival). There is an amazing convergence and synergy towards this event and it represents the wave of the Holy Spirit that is coming in. The event itself will just be the crest of the wave but I already felt the wave yesterday. This will not just be a repenting of everything meeting -but hours will be given towards signs and wonders, miracles, salvation, and street ministry. Lou and I talked yesterday how we must connect all this to reformation as well and I encouraged him to release declarations that make that connection. Bill Hamon is coming in. Heidi Baker is coming in. Bill Johnson will be leading a healing time. Bethel School of Redding is canceling their 50 plus mission trips and they are all coming in for this event. The Bethel entourage alone will exceed 2500 people. Daniel Kalenda (Reinhard Bonke's understudy) is canceling events to come be a part of this. Scott Middlebrooks of Every Home for Christ is bringing their whole operation to be a part. There are many others but it will not be about "stars" dominating the pulpit. There has been a word that Billy Graham's mantle is coming on us as a nation. That could be interesting.
Please go the Azusa Now Facebook for more information. See what God does in your heart towards that event (really 2 and a half months of ministries cooperating leading up to it). This is not just for California but is for the nation and for the nations. I believe many are supposed to come in from other states and other nations. Others may be moved upon to fund. This is not a man generated event (and I have been to those as well)- but a God generated wave we are responding to. See if you are supposed to pick up your surfboard and get on the wave now.
There is so much movement and motion in the spirit realm right now. Revelation is flowing in an almost unprecedented way. You may have noticed just in the way the Elijah List is trying to handle and release all the words they are receiving. I am getting much more than I can release as well. That is the first sign that a big shift of heaven coming nearer has already taken place when third heaven revelation starts inundating the airwaves.
The second sign is that there is suddenly an increased hunger to pray and to be in prayer. Intercession has greatly increased- not because we are in more trouble, but because rapid kingdom displacement is being set up or taking place. Our spirit is leaping up and out to agree. Power in prayer is ramping up and many of you should be noticing that.
A third sign is an increased desire towards unity. This is something already happening now as a first sign of a coming bigger kingdom displacement. Reconciliation and restoration are dual winds blowing. This doesn't mean things are easy. There is intensity. There is contradiction. There is war in the spirit realm. There is a laying down of everything at the feet of Jesus and only picking back up what He says to. There is a desire to be clean. There are unexplained losses and challenges- and surprising sonic booms of favor.
All of this is designed to begin to reassure our hearts of the Sovereignty of our God. We have greatly diminished His Sovereignty and He is in the process of restoring it. Yes, we have free will - but so does He and it is greater than our free will. He is working a plan and He has connected it to His divine timing and He has hit the NOW button. He is coming in so strong it is going to look like He is imposing His agenda. That is only because He is. He backs off for certain times and seasons but He is suddenly making a move as Lord of Hosts- and He's got billions (yes with a b) of them with Him. Ready or not we are all going to move as well.
So it's a year of Jubilee requiring a mentality of abundance to fully access all that is available. We might have to recognize a poverty spirit at work in us- repent- and then agree with our Papa's abundant and generous heart in order to fully participate. Here are 5 signs of a poverty spirit.
1) You give pitiful tips. (in the US, anything under 20% :))
2) You think first- What does it cost?- Always.
3) You give pragmatically rather than by direction.
4) You frequently judge people of wealth.
5) You always fear running out or going broke.
Now it's possible to be a millionaire and still have a poverty spirit so if the shoe fits still repent. Abundance thinking beats a full bank account any day because it is the choice to live out of inheritance and His account instead of ours. Ours can always develop a fatal leak.
What do you say we become more like our Papa?
