2012 Here We Are

Well its been a while since I posted something on this Blog.

I usually tend to post articles on the monthly newsletter.

I was wandering what i should write.  So much commentary has already been made about this year.  What we could say or confirm is that many people are hearing the same thing , that this year is about Harvest, Government and so on.

We always saw 2012 and 2011 together - well thats the way the holy spirit showed us. But we are getting more specific words.

The start of this year - the lord has been speaking profoundly around the Word Anna and that God is calling his church to a much deeper and greater level of prayer and intimacy.  The culture of night and Day prayer needs to be embraced by the body of christ - that is the fuel to seeing harvest.

In the Gospel of Luke we read about Anna a Prophetess who has spent most of her life in the temple in night and day fasting and prayers and she gets to hold Jesus when he was a Child. She then goes to proclaim the good news to all that she came across.

We see a clear marriage between prayer and mission where it began in Night and Day Prayer and from that place began to Preach the Gospel.

Today we tend to preach without going into that place.  The only way we are going to see the Kingdom advance is through night & Day prayer arising across nations - accompanied with the preaching of the gospel.

A Word came across recently that really spoke and confirmed a few things from the Open Heaven Network.

THE NEW CENTURY OUTPOURING

(The first part of the 21^st century has brought the restored revelation of the Gospel of the Kingdom - the reality of the kingdom of God coming to earth from heaven – the fullness of the message of “Christ in you the hope of glory” on earth – the reality of Christ Jesus abiding in His temple (our bodies) by the Holy Spirit to do the work that He began in His natural body over 2000 years ago - the powerful realization that Christ did not leave us orphans but that He came to us in the Holy Spirit just as He promised – this and much more are bringing the reality of the kingdom of God on earth. This is fueling the beginnings of possibly the most powerful wave of outpouring ever to come upon the earth.

Religion has not the power or the strength to adjust to this outpouring. Multitudes are abandoning religion and many are abiding in wilderness type life while being changed and longing to connect into The New Century Outpourings. Church systems cannot contain or control the new outpouring. The head of it is not in a church system or any religious organization. The focus of this outpouring is not huge meetings of platform ministry headed by a few leaders. This is an outpouring upon the people of God, not just the platforms and systems of ministry. This is heaven at ground level in houses, businesses, in the parks, at the restaurant, and wherever two or three or more are gathered in His name. Yes, there will be large city-wide type gatherings, but the solid base is Christ in the smaller core groups in homes, businesses, storefronts, or wherever people connect in Him.

This is an outpouring of GOD’S HOLY FIRE! This outpouring of FIRE is released by man pushing the “HIGH” faith button, the fire releasing button that is still in our hands. All the things of the previous waves are included but the message goes beyond to the reality of the end of many things and the entrance of the full kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven coming forth wherever there are people who will leave the past and lunge forward into the realm of the Spirit to embrace the King and His glorious kingdom.

At this moment on God’s eternal clock, the pure and holy are being placed by the Spirit into core groups to steward and bring forth the New Century Outpouring. There shall nothing enter in and remain that defiles. No religious-coated lust or pride will be allowed to remain. These who enter and remain are humble, pure people - broken and weak in natural strength, but alive in total faith and love toward God and willing to lay down the past to gain the experience of intimately knowing Him as Lord, Savior, and King - one with the Father and fully abiding in us by His Holy Spirit.

Many Cells of the New Century Outpourings

I believe there will be many set-on-fire people who are even now or very soon abandoning their past ways of meeting or gathering to be released into a Holy Spirit Fire-Fall pouring out among them. Led by the Spirit to do and say things they may have only dreamed about or seen in visions in the past. Visions and dreams from God are coming to pass now for those who will push the “High” faith fire-releasing button. Always the focus will be the King and His kingdom coming forth now in our lives and subsequently in the world. The gospel of the kingdom is now being preached and demonstrated in the fresh outpouring of God in spots across the land.

There is such a thing beginning to happen here in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Mt. Airy, North Carolina. Humble and simple people are quietly set on fire of the Spirit and are boldly moving into realms of fresh outpouring of the Spirit of God.

Like many parts of our world, this area has been greatly under the rule of religion and dominance of religious spirits. Much of the previous waves have been rejected or hidden from the people here. However, spiritual war is being waged against the powers of darkness, and eyes are being opened as a core is coming together for this area in The New Century Outpouring.

It is God’s will and purpose that the message of the increasing Holy Spirit fire and bright light of the kingdom purify the people to leave their past lives and walk in the Holy Fire and love reality of the new century outpouring of God in many places across the land. This is not such a new thing but an increase in intensity as people activate the High level of believing and religious spirit coverings over the areas are being weakened and moving out.

Have you and I come to this world for such a time as this? Is there any good reason to hold back and cling to the past? Behind us is ashes and ahead of us the garden of God. Lift up your heads and look up. The heavens are open and the glorious spiritual kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem of God is coming down from heaven. We are being prepared as a Bride to rule and reign with Christ in and among us now. Arise, shine for your light has come and the glory of God is upon you. Let all that has breath praise Him!)

By Ron McGatlin

When I read words like this - by whole inner being leaps with excitement knowing this word bears witness. It is a word in season.

So let us all go to this journey to a much deeper place and lower place.

The River always flows to the lowest Place.  Jesus who is our magnificient and glorius king is wanting to reveal himself in such a most amazing way.  He is the Glory of God revealed we need to all seen him for who he is.  He is coming as King to rule and reign he is so worthy of our Worship and Adoration - let us give him our all.  And Make Jesus Christ our Magnificient Obsession

Hope you were blessed by this post

Preparing For His Return

This is really the word in Season

In my travels I have been getting confirmation after Confirmation that as the Body of Christ too many people are hanging out for Jesus to Return - instead of Preparing for His Return.

There is a defeatist spirit over the church. We have got to move from passiveness to being proactive.

From being in Slumber to being in Love and Alive and Full of the Spirit of God.

Those in five fold ministry gifts need to mobilize the church to be battle ready.

We need to be in ship shape expecting and ready for the Return of The King.

The Call of Fire Starter is to prepare the way for His Return.  

Let us begin to take the first steps

Rumblings, Stirrings and Shakings

Well these last few months we have seen major catostrophic events across the earth.

In the Body of Christ there is also an increasing in Shaking.

Persecution is on the increase, so are splits between ministries, Families are under assault.

This is a time an hour where we truelly have to make Jesus the Anchor of our lives.

To immerse our selves in his word, to have a prayer life where we are so close to his own heart.

We are seeing in this day and age a new stirring in the hearts of people.

There are stirrings happening here and there -where his people have a deeper desire to unite in prayer, to cry out to God for more of his presence.

Also with Shakings - God is beginning to shake the very core foundations of the church.

More to come- Over and out for now

Creation is Groaning & Everything is being Shaken.

In the last 2 months we have seen events taken place where you can really only look to the Bible to get a grip of things.

The Apostle Paul who is the author of the Epistle of Romans - writes in Chapter 8 on how the whole of creation groans in waiting for the revealing of the sons of God.

Several prophetic words were released in the last 2 years warning of an increase of shakings.

What does this all lead too.

Wars, Earthquakes, floods and fires and also plagues.

These are the beginning of birthpaigns the scripture tells us.   

We are now entering into a time and season where as the church we need to begin shine and begin to be at the forefront in shaping culture.

As firestarters and fire carriers - we need to answer the call quickly in preparing the way for the Return of the King- Being King Jesus.

Wolfgang Simson wrote a challenging article on how we as Kingdom people should respond to the crisis in Japan.

"As you will see, this is a different kind of mail about Japan. It is time to go beyond the superficial oh-my-goodness-condolences, stunned speechlessness and the feeling of powerlessness. It is not enough to sit in front of the TV and passively watch, while the media is in a feeding frenzy, driving the reality show with ever new twists and gruesome pictures – without any Kingdom answers, but with record viewers for their TV ads. 

Kingdom people do not see things the way the worlds sees it. And therefore they do not respond the way the world responds. They respond in alignment with the King. They don´t just ask, what is happening, but why is it happening. God, beyond your works, what are your ways? What is the Kingdom significance of all this? 

As anyone can see, something of an apocalyptic nature is happening on the planet, to the planet and sometimes through the planet; something that at this intensity and speed has not happened before. The tip of the iceberg: In the year 2008, Reinsurance giant “Swiss Re” lists 311 (173 of them “man- made”) catastrophes for that year, killing about 250.000 people and costing 7.4 billion US $. Add to this the credit crisis. Year 2009: Swiss-Re lists 850 catastrophes (damage of 50 $ b); Year 2010: Swiss-Re lists 950 catastrophes with about 295.000 dead (and a damage of 130 billion $); 250.000 alone die after the earthquake in Haiti; worst floods in Pakistan’s history displaces millions; mud buries folks in China, and fires devastate the area around Mt. Carmel in Israel. Year 2011, so far: Australia experiences unimaginable draught, fire and floods. Much of the inner city of Christchurch (New Zealand) is leveled, its Cathedral badly damaged. Speak of a symbolic place… The Arab world is like a sea in uproar…"

Donny is back - So thats just a little bit of Wolfgang for you - the challenge in front of us is enormous.

Creation is groaning - Romans 8:22

In Matthew 24 - A man asks Jesus about what will the sign be to signal his return?

Look at what Jesus says 

Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"
	Mat 24:4	Yeshua answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
	Mat 24:5	For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and will lead many astray.
	Mat 24:6	You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
	Mat 24:7	For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
	Mat 24:8	But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
	Mat 24:9	Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.
	Mat 24:10	Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
	Mat 24:11	Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray.
	Mat 24:12	Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
	Mat 24:13	But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
	Mat 24:14	This Good News of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

So the word is clear - and does speak into times and seasons.

Let us arise - and live out the call that Jesus has places in our lives.

A Word about the Season we are in 2011/2012

We are entering into what could be an amazing next 12 months.  It is only of recent times that dates and times become more strategic as we begin to understand the dealings of God and the way he moves.

The lord has been speaking through his word about this coming year.

What themes do we pick up from Scripture concerning the number 11

John 11:11

Revelations: 11:11

Isaiah 61:1 and 11

So let us start with the biblical meaning of number 11

The Bible has 22 hebrew letters in the alphabet. The llth letter  is the word Kaph which means the Palm of the hand.

The General Theme coming across is the throne of Gods Glory.

But there is a clear word that has been coming thru these particular verses.

Resurrection, The Glory of God, The Breath of God breathing life , the new things birthing.

In John 11:11 – Jesus is sharing with his disciples that Lazarus has fallen asleep where in fact he had died.  And Jesus made the statement- And I am going to wake him up.

In Revelation 11:11  This passage speaks about the 2 witnesses who prophesied and moving in the power of Elijah.

They die for 3 and half days then in verse 11 the breadth of God enters into them and the fear of God falls on the people.

So hear you have a parallel where the theme is Resurrection and Jesus himself says he is the Resurrection and the Life.

Isaiah 61:11 – Continues with a similar theme and speaks into praise springing forth into the earth. The lord will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth all around the world.

This ties in with the Verse in Malachi 1:11 In every place incense shall be offered in my name and a pure offering.

This is all about the life of the Spirit of God breaking out- the Glory of the Lord covering the earth as water covers the sea.

It’s a word about a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit which is fuelled through Prayer and worship.

But one key thing that came through was Revelations Chapter 10:5-7 it speaks about an Angel raises his hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives for ever, speaking of God as the Creator, and that there should be no more delay.

Up until this point there had been some holding back but as we enter into 2011 we are seeing God establish the Throne of His Glory across the earth, and we are seeing a release of Resurrection, we are seeing incense and praise and righteousness being released.

We are seeing things that were dead spring forth into life.

Callings, Ministries, Prayer Furnaces spring forth has his people gather to offer incense, and a pure offering.

The Call is for something pure to be released from the this part of the world. To bring to him a pure offering.
