Is it just
me or has it been a struggle lately.
Jeremiah 33:3 (NASB) 3‘Call to Me and I
will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not
know.'
This is a day of revelation.
There is a Shift in the spirit - a shift to the supernatural. A shift from building & maintaining churches through mans abilities To Jesus building His church.
There has been a ploy of the enemy where it is acceptable to be culturally relevant without the power of the Holy Spirit.
The shift of the spirit is to be culturally relevant through the power of the spirit.
God is raising up a company of people - a people of the spirit - not weird and whacky but naturally supernatural - full of the spirit.
You see when you are full of the spirit there is a manifestation - some way - it comes out.
People would tell you you are full - they say you don't have to speak in tongues, you don't have to prophecy, you don't have to heal the sick, you don't have to work miracles - you are just full & nice.
If you are full it will come out.
Isa. 43:18-19 (NCV) 18 The LORD says, "Forget what happened before, and do not think about the past. 19 Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don't you see it? (NIV) do you not perceive it?
The emphasis is do you not perceive it? Because with the things of God - it has to be perceived.
That which needs to be perceived is - God
is doing a new thing - it is already happening & we are at a point of
critical mass.
Critical mass - the point of change.
It is critical because you are letting go of the old & taking hold of the new.
It's like changing a baton in a race - there is a point of critical mass. Critical because there is the possibility of dropping the baton. Critical because it is a time where things slow down momentarily while the exchange is made. Critical because it is an uncomfortable time.
You are releasing something that is
comfortable, that you are familiar with. You are taking hold
of something that you are not familiar with.
You are familiar with the old - you are not familiar with the new. That is the point of critical mass - the point of change.
2 Kin. 2:8 (NCV) 8Elijah took off his coat, rolled it up, and hit the water. The water divided to the right and to the left, and Elijah and Elisha crossed over on dry ground.
Point of critical mass: - The waters didn't part until Elijah struck them
Acts 3:6-8 (NLT) 6But Peter said, "I don't have any money for you. But I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!" 7Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man's feet and anklebones were healed and strengthened. 8He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.
Point of critical mass: - The crippled man that rose up & was healed - was healed as he stood up.
John 19:30 (NCV) ..... he said, "It is finished." Then he bowed his head and died.
Point of critical mass: - new life didn't begin until Jesus gave His life. The old didn't give way to the new until the point of critical mass when Jesus died on the cross.
There is a change in the spirit.
We have been progressing to this Point of change in the spirit -
Matt. 14:29 (NCV) 29Jesus said, "Come."
And Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus.
Point of critical mass: -
Peter was at a place of critical mass when he let go of the boat & started walking on water. He did not start walking on water until he had let go of the boat -The point of critical mass.
History shows - past experience shows whenever the Lord say's to people get out of the boat. Many will get out of the boat (but not let go) dangle their feet in the water - test the waters but then the vast majority will get back in the boat.
Then there are people that get out of the boat & let go, but then they swim to a life raft - they will immediately look for something else to cling too.
Then there are people who hear the Lord saying get out of the boat - they get out, let go & keep their eyes on Jesus.
We are at a point of critical mass - letting go of the old & embracing the new. It is a place that is very uncomfortable because you are not familiar with the new.
I'm not just talking about a name change, a style change I'm talking about a spirit change a change in the anointing.
There is a letting go of the old & embracing the new.
Are you willing to go into the glory fire to let God perfect His destiny and calling in your life?
Will you stop hiding in the shadows of the Church & answer His call?
Will you surrender your neat little agenda to become His glorious bride?
Would you let God mould & shape your
life, would you let Him press His colour, design & destiny within the very
fibres of your being?
Job 22:28 (NASB) 28 "You will also decree a thing, and
it will be established for you; And light will shine
on your ways.
Prophetic decrees empower us to release power. Prophetic proclamations unlock and birth our destiny and the revelations, visions, and dreams God has given us.
The power of God's Word through a prophetic decree will set the captive free, conquer sickness and disease, build, and restore God's church, and release wealth and prosperity, spiritual and temporal abundance.
We can reverse every decree the enemy has made concerning our lives by issuing a new decree. The devil says you can't, God says you can! The devil says you won't, God says you will! Proclaim what God says about you into the heavens.
Take authority over things in the spirit that come against what God has already said about you, call out your miracles, and watch your destiny unfold.
Take things out of the invisible through God's creative power-and transfer them onto the earthly scene to fulfil your destiny!
Praying mysteries through and receiving them
BIRTH YOUR MIRACLES
It's important to build and plant God's revelation. We need to pray those words through in the spirit and loose them in heaven so they'll be loosed on Earth. The Bible speaks about calling forth those things that are not, as though they already existed.
Shift - prophesy it in.
