Prophetic Words
Isaiah 61:1-2 - The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has
anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives, the opening of the
prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
and the day of vengeance of our God.
I like to think of Isaiah 61 as the basic job description of all believers.
This is Christianity 101 - normal Christianity! God wants the glory of the
Lord to start to move in you and through you! How many of you would like to
have hospitals close down in your region because of the signs, wonders, and
miracles exploding in your church and everyday life?
I believe that God is saying in this hour that passing out tracts is too
limited and impersonal. Perhaps your sphere of evangelism is being part of a
weekly team that hits the streets of an impoverished section of town, armed
and ready with tracts. Maybe you mechanically pass out the Four Spiritual
Laws to a common passerby with a simple, "Jesus loves you." Beloved, this is
good, but it is only the beginning! God wants more for you! God desires all
men to be saved and wants to use you!
Becoming a Living Tract
He wants you to be a living tract. He wants to use your mouths to speak His
words; your hands to stretch forth in signs and wonders; your feet to be
carriers of the Good News. Just as Jesus ministered to each person in the
Gospels in a unique way, God wants us to learn to hear His heart for each
individual and deliver the Gospel in a tailor-made package for them. For one
person, it might be buying them a cup of coffee, another might receive a
word of knowledge or prophecy, or God might want you to heal someone in the
grocery store. Whatever He says to do, we need to do it!
Jesus Christ had the keys to open up the gates of hell and set the captives
free. Now that He has redeemed us, He has put keys in our hands. We can
touch the broken-hearted by unlocking secret doors of past history and
family secrets to set them free.
You're It!
God wants to explode out from the box that we call church! He wants to
catapult you into the market place as His hands, His heart, and His feet. If
you are waiting for someone else to do it, God says "Guess what? You're it!"
Congratulations! You are His hand-picked brigade of fishermen! He wants to
give you fishing nets. He has been healing the holes in your nets so that
you can cast them into the dark seas of humanity. The Shekinah glory will
spread as it hits the water, and the fish will be drawn to it. When He is
lifted up, all men draw near. Now is the hour to go fishing!
Prayer: God release your Spirit. Teach us not only how to know your message,
but how to be your message. Break our hearts for the lost. Teach us to cast
our nets and use every opportunity to reel in the fish. Father, help us not
to hoard Your goodness, but to proclaim that this is the Year of the Lord to
all who want to hear the Good News!
Casting a Dangerous Shadow
Acts 5:12 - ...people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on the
beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as
they passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem to
bring their sick and those tormented by evil spirits and all of them were
healed.
Is your shadow dangerous? In your arena of everyday life, do people get
healed and delivered because so much of the resurrection power, the glory of
the Lord, radiates through you? Is no one "safe" in your company because the
Lord breaks in suddenly with visitations of deliverance, salvation, and
healing?
Is YOUR Name Known in Hell?
God wants people whose very name is known in hell because they wreak such
havoc on Satan's kingdom! We cannot bumble blindly through this world in
mediocre lukewarm lethargy! Peter carried so much authority that wherever
his shadow fell, people were instantly healed. Would you like to walk in
that kind of authority? It wasn't Peter's own power - rather it was the
glory of the Lord in Peter. Christ in you is the hope of glory!
When you walk into a restaurant, do you literally change the atmosphere
because you carry so much of the fire of God in you? Every place your hands
and feet touch should be invaded with the resurrection power of God. The
Lord wants you to minister outside the walls of the church in everyday life
to a hurt and dying world. Beloved, you are a carrier of His glory. We all
need to be walking flames of fire!
Prayer: Oh Lord, I want to cast a dangerous shadow! Teach me to walk as a
living flame so that all those around me are ignited with passion for You.
So many are suffering today, and I just want to let You radiate through me
so that all will be saved. Teach me to be a carrier of Your glory.

The Lord said: "Precipice"
prec·i·pice
Etymology: Middle French, from Latin praecipitium, from praecipit-, praeceps headlong, from prae- + caput head
1 : a very steep or overhanging place
2 : a hazardous situation; broadly : BRINK
" You, My children are on the brink of great change. You are on the precipice of great extremes of good and evil. You are heading into unchartered territory, and beyond this lies eternity. Great evil is coming, but where the enemy does pervade the land, so will My glory be poured out. You are hanging on the edge of eternity and all that needs be shaken will be shaken. I am shaking My church loose of it's structure and a form of religion that has no power. At the same time is growing a totally apostate church who call themselves by My name and even use the name of My Son…but they do not KNOW HIM.
There is an EXTREME generation coming forth that will be transformed by My light and GLORY, and there will be a destruction of the PRETENSE that has shrouded My children, and those caught up in the darkness of this world who are called to New Life in ME. I will rip the veil of covering from off the nations. I will remove the spiritual blindness on those whose hearts are changeable – on those who are called to be in ME.
But know there is an evil army arising also. They have no conscience about the evil they do. They have seared consciences and will not turn from their wickedness. You must be able to know the difference and be free from any unsanctified mercy that would make you vulnerable to their wickedness. When I tell you "DON'T TOUCH THAT ONE" – I mean it! DO NOT TOUCH THEM. If you do, you are rebelling and it will leave you open to the demonization desired upon you by the enemy. When I say walk away…walk AWAY! When I say, that one is reprobate, and will not change, then you must listen. Do not be pulled into mercy I do not give out.
On the other hand, I will at this hour pour out GREAT GRACE upon all who will HUMBLE themselves before ME, and admit their faults and desire freedom. Some of them will even be astounded by their own attitudes, because they don't realize they've been bound by demons. When grace is poured out, it will alter their ability to say yes to ME. You won't have to waste your time in explaining things, because the Most Holy Spirit will be with you in POWER in such a way that HE will suddenly change that person in an instant, their eyes will be opened and all things will become NEW to them.
And I will pour out that grace in you as well to overcome all that has opposed ME in you. Chains will be broken off of all those who are desiring freedom! I will , I WILL, I WILL SURELY DELIVER ALL WHO WANT IT! Nothing will stop the flow of My Spirit as He pours out this last awakening on the earth. A GREAT HARVEST is out there. It is time. It is time. It is time for harvesting. I am coming to many of you in visitations in the night watches and there will be an explosion of My Spirit within you that will change you mightily, to be able to walk with ME, and be and do all I want you to be and do ! Great peril is ahead, but also great POWER and an awesome outpouring of MY LOVE that will overcome DEATH."
Ezek 47:6-12 KJV
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
