Paradigm Shift Ahead

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7

God is going to take His people through a paradigm shift. To better understand this let's look at the word paradigm. It is a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions about how we do church or live as believers. Shift means to change course of direction or move from one place to another. God is going to change our direction and move us to a higher level of operation by changing our approach and fundamental mindsets. For years people have been talking about getting rid of the old wine skin. It's sounds really spiritual but what does this really mean? It means simply that God is going to remove the old mindsets, traditions of men, and religious methods that are quenching God's power. He is going to do this so He can pour in fresh revelations of who He is and new ways of approaching the world around us. 

We can not remain stuck in the old and expect to reach this generation. We must come out of our old season to embrace the full potential of who we are in Him. Quoting scriptures about it and just talking about it will not be enough. We have to start walking into new levels of God's power and not be threatened or jealous of those who are doing it. Don't be afraid of what you don't understand. Seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit and don't let fear keep you from all that God has. Also, remember that God wants to do this for one reason and one reason only...Harvest!

Prophecy: Revival and Breakthrough 2014

Last night at the meeting I went down under the power of God. Johann laid hands on me and said, "Download!" Here is what God is speaking to His Church.


Three Keys for revival and breakthrough in 2014:

1. Unity - You will not be able to do your tasks alone. God will start honoring those who go out of their way to work with others. He is going to anoint five fold ministers who come into unity and release greater power! There He will command the blessing. Psalm 133 Learn to work as teams during church meetings and evangelistic outreaches. God is emphasizing 555 the trinity of five-fold. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit moving through His Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors and Evangelists. He will be shifting His attention on Evangelists who are sold out. Work with the Evangelist, Pastor. God will start exalting the people who the church has ignored. The street ministers, missionaries and evangelists will now be called forward to lead the way.

2. Harvest - Those who make it their goal and start working in the harvest fields will see a blessing. Harvest fields meaning: Prisons, Hospitals, Streets, Homeless Shelters, Convalescent Hospitals, Mission Fields and wherever there is souls! Church if you want to see revival you will have to leave the four walls. Go to the park, get a tent, get a storefront in the middle of the city. Go where they are. God's Spirit will pour into those who will pour out. Stop waiting for them to come to you. I see mass baptisms taking place outdoors in rivers, oceans and in places that you would not think of using. Get ready for the Johns will arise in this hour and be calling out for people to repent in the River Jordan again!

3. Revival - is not an event! It is the fire of God resting on people whose hearts are transformed by God's presence. People are so used to thinking that it is about an event that when the event is over they go back to the norm. NO! Revival is about your heart being revived unto God. That may happen at a meeting but...fire is maintained in His Presence. If you think that watching your favorite preacher on TV is going to maintain a fire then you are wrong. If you think that you can survive on a 10 min daily devotional and singing to some watered down Christian song on the radio then you are wrong. Revival = fire! You will be ember that will grow cold if you stay out of fellowship with others that are burning. The church has grown cold because there is no altars to burn on. When we are asking God to send revival we are asking God to send fire. Fire consumes friend. God's fire will not rest on an altar that does not have a living sacrifice. Fire will not rest on those who are filled with idolatry. Fire will not rest on those whose hearts are not pure. A guest speaker will never give you fire. You can only get fire when you become His altar. Get rid of the distractions and start to seek God. He is waiting to reveal His Fire Walkers! Lord make us willing to burn for you!

Engage God!

Engage: To attract and hold by influence or power

Not so long ago I was at a church service and the guest speaker was encouraging people to come to the altar to pray over their loved ones.  Strangely, many people continued to sit motionless on the chairs.  It was almost like they didn't hear what they were being asked to do. Again the invitation was given but only a few people came up.  The rest remained in their seats the rest of the night. It was literally like pulling teeth to get anyone to leave their comfort zone. As I was at the altar the Lord started to speak to me about this problem. 

First, we here in America have gotten used to coming to church and have everything happen behind the pulpit. Like the children of Israel we have sent Moses up the mountain to encounter God while we stay behind and build the golden calf. Our expectancy level only goes as far as believing God for a good sermon for the day. On the other hand, the only thing that is expected from the congregation in most cases is their tithe money and that is all. Honestly, I have seen more enthusiasm at a football game than I have seen in many churches.  At least at a football game people cheer and get into the game.  In some churches we can't even get people to stand up and praise God.  We have a lot to thank God about. He choose us to live life abundantly and be filled with His amazing unconditional love.  Unfortunately, many people don't receive this abundant life because they never engage God.  They never go beyond listening to the Pastor speak to hearing the Holy Ghost reveal himself through scripture, getting filled with His Presence, being touched in their bodies or being set free from their bondage.  They walk into church depressed, hurting, sick, addicted, unsaved and leave the same way they came in. This is religion.

I believe that God is about to change all of that. There is nothing more powerful than a group of believers coming into unity, with expectancy, ready to engage God so they can receive what they are believing for. If those believers love each other deeply than expect God to show himself mighty in them. As God starts to move on His people and they start to respond to the love of God be sure that every person that comes within that atmosphere will be changed forever.  As God's people ascend the mountain with Moses unafraid and unabated asking for God to show them His glory...will He not do it? My God this is how Pentecost was poured out.  A group of believers who prayed in unity, loved each other, were willing to lay their life down for the gospel and waited for the promise of the Holy Spirit. It was these empowered witnesses that received the Pentecostal fire. My friends, we already have this Holy Ghost fire and all we have to do is rekindle it at the altar of our hearts.

To rekindle this fire, we just need to engage God in our loving adoration.  He seeks those who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.  All of heaven will stop to listen to just one thankful heart. It was always those who declared the Divinity of Christ who caused Jesus to pay attention. Jesus, son of David have mercy on Me was the cry of every desperate soul.  They would then throw themselves at the feet of Jesus and worship Him. My friends, if we are ever to get passed our mundane traditions then we must be willing to let go of our religious pride. We must be willing to leave that chair, go to the altar, weep, worship, pray or anything else that the Spirit of God moves upon us to do. If you are willing to do this...you will leave changed. Engage God!
