God Is Setting You Up for Your Greatest Breakthrough Yet in This Season! Lorilei Cooley August 31, 2018 Through the tremendous acceleration, transition and shifts the past few days. I felt the Lord highlight strongly that he was laying the AX to the root of things and uprooting. He is severing, cutting and separating things that have hindered, stunted movement and blocked things. As this happens there will be such refreshing and a strengthening coming to you because you are about to step further into the land and you will need your strength for the new season and assignment.
Matthew 3:10 “Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.” These bad roots that He is removing and uprooting will NO longer hinder or stop you from moving into your destiny. I felt the Lord saying, “It has gone on for way too long and now my power has come and is increasing. That I am setting you up for your greatest breakthrough yet this season!” There may have been some alignments and associations that the Lord has had to suddenly remove. Where these misalignments came had brought in hindrance and delay in the areas of destiny the Lord is powerfully removing. Do not be dismayed by this as this is a good thing. It is making room for the new and right alignments for the season. When elevation and promotion comes so does separation. The Lord Is Commanding the Enemy to Obey! Where things were stolen, I saw the Lord come in a vision and command the enemy to let go of the ‘possessions’ that were taken. By the word and command of the Lord, the enemy could not withhold anymore. As the Lord was powerfully moving and forcefully making the enemy ‘cough’ up and return all that he had stolen. As the enemy was letting go I saw him complaining and murmuring but there was nothing he could do about. It was done, the Lord had spoke it, decreed it and the enemy could not overpower what God was commanding him to do. This recompense and vindication the Lord is serving you is far greater than past ones. It will far outweigh what you have previously experienced. Proverbs 6:31 “But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.” Where there has been barely surviving and hanging on by a thread you are now moving into abundance, plenty and wealth. There is an out pour of increased breakthrough and blessing coming to your land and household! I felt the Lord say, “Watch what I’m about to do!” Malachi 3:10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Lorilei Cooley www.lorileicooley.com SIGN UP TO RECEIVE OUR FREE EMAIL MESSAGES from God's powerfully anointed women all over the world at WomenofImpactMinistries.com CLICK HERE to submit an article.

Sylvia Neusch August 27, 2018 You may have been in a season of great challenge, but the Lord is breathing hope into His people again. You may have felt like the captives in Psalm 127 who mourned for the days of joy they once knew in Zion. You may have felt like you would never experience joy again or know the taste of freedom.
Your dreams, like the harps that hung on the poplar trees, may have long ago been put on the shelf. But, God is blowing away the dust and cobwebs from your dreams with this call, "Awake My dreamers, awake my joyful ones! Pick up your harps, it's time to play the songs of Zion again. I will fill your mouths with laughter and your tongues will sing the songs of joy. I am breaking off the orphan spirit and releasing deep, abiding, sonship and daughtership. The lie that you are alone and abandoned will be broken once and for all. You will know what it is to carry My heart again and you will be My DISPENSERS OF HOPE. You will be like the captives I brought back to Zion. You will feel as if you are in a dream. You have sown in tears and now the time of JOYFUL REAPING is here! Your testimony will be a light for the nations. Your perseverance through the dark night is now releasing a BEACON of HOPE for many. But, you must ARISE and SHINE My DISPENSERS OF HOPE! Even now the thick darkness descends upon the earth, but I have ordained that I will rise upon you and my glory will appear over you. (from Isa. 60:2) You will lift up your eyes and see that the nations are coming to you. I have given you, My sons and daughters the keys to the Kingdom. I have given you authority to open and shut things. Take your place now at the gates. Take your place at the gates My OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, for you will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated.(from Isa. 61:4) Your branches will spread over cities and nations providing shade and protection for the lost and broken. The fruit of your limbs will sustain the weak and hungry, and your leaves will provide healing for the nations. You are My planting. I have ordained that you would be My ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. Take your place now My ROYAL PRIESTS. Take your place releasing Heaven to Earth. Make your royal decrees and declare My purposes upon the Earth. All of creation awaits your response. Rise and shine My DISPENSERS OF HOPE. This is your time to shine!"

The Lord wants to blow the doors off of what we think we know about prayer! - Victoria Boyson8/23/2018
The Lord wants to blow the doors off of what we think we know about prayer! Victoria Boyson August 23, 2018 I recently heard a story of a Christian man who'd died and, as he ascended to heaven, was surrounded by a violent propulsion of lights. He knew at once they were the prayers of those on earth who had interceded. Their prayers were shot up to heaven in powerful anticipation of their importance to the heavenly Father. To him, they seemed more like fireworks of war than prayers of the saints.
Our Father is constantly, even ardently, waiting to hear our prayers and react to our call. Indeed, our simple requests are missiles in the war of the heavenlies and we are His secret weapon. We are not sending up wishes or hopes, we're sending up petitions to our loving Father, who's anxiously waiting to hear our requests as if hearing the council of generals of war. Your prayer instantly activates movements and strategies in the heavenlies which directly effects the realms of earth. In our world, we fight under an oppressive cloud of unbelief. Even many Christians are cynical of miracles and hesitate to credit prayer for the answer. This is what the enemy wants; it is his primary weapon against the prayers of the saints. If you've experienced disappointment in prayer in the past, understand that is also apart of the battle against intercession. We've entered a new season: the season of the CROSS. It's time to try again... and even when it looks impossible, believe God for the impossible to become possible. Father God says: YOUR PRAYERS ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL! You are the light of the world and My secret weapon. You can move mountains by warring in the heavenlies for the victory of angels as they fight for you! Recently, the Lord downloaded to me what He called "three prayer-wars" that were examples of the wars we are to be waging in the heavenlies to effect the world we live in. Prayer War in Acts Acts 12 is the first example of what the Father refers to as a "prayer-war." King Herod Agrippa captured and killed the Apostle James. It so pleased the Jews, he captured the Apostle Peter as well and held him in prison, locked in chains between two guards with soldiers stationed at the door. A Band of Christians heard Peter was in prison and came together to pray in earnest for his deliverance. They knew what Herod had planned. And as they prayed, the Lord released an angel into his prison cell to awaken a sleeping Peter, release him from his shackles and lead him to freedom without the guards even realizing what transpired. He led him to the very home where the Lord's followers were in prayer on his behalf. Not only did this tiny, seemingly insignificant group of intercessors see Peter delivered through their prayers, but shortly after, King Herod Agrippa was killed by an angel of the Lord and consumed by worms. So, through their prayer-war, they saw a major victory. For, it was the murderer who died not the Apostle Peter! Do you see the power of a small group of prayer warriors? They waged war and had tremendous victory! Seven Days That Changed The World - The Prayer-Wars of WW2 In April of 1940, the allied forces of France, Britain, and other Allied forces were unprepared for the battles they fought in the beginning of the war and were outmaneuvered by the Axis powers. Forced to retreat, the German army pushed these young boys back until their backs were against the English Channel. With no foreseeable place for them to go, Churchill prepared to announce that a third of a million soldiers had been captured by the German forces. On May 26th England's King George the Sixth called for the first day of national prayer and Britain devoted itself to prayer in an unprecedented way. Photos show long lines waiting to get into packed houses of worship to prayer all over the country. As a result, an urgent call went out for boats of all shapes and sizes to cross the English channel to rescue the besieged army. Over 800 vessels were the answer to the call. And, astonishingly, Hitler, for no conceivable reason, ordered the German army to halt, and for three days the Germans stood idle. Had they continued their pursuit against the Allies, it would have most assuredly been a tremendous victory for them. Futhermore, a violent storm rose over the region, grounding the German fighter planes that had been killing thousands on the beaches. And just like that a "great calm descended on the Channel, the like of which hadn't been seen for a generation" allowing the famous miracle evacuation to take place. The Allies thought they would be fortunate to rescue 25,000 British soldiers, but by the time the Nazis were ordered to renew their attack, 338,000 soldiers were rescued off the beaches of Dunkirk. Churchill called it a miracle and truly it was. But we also know it was the victorious result of a war in the heavenlies fought by the saints on their knees calling out to the heavenly Father. The second day of prayer was called on August 11, 1940 as German Field Marshal Goering commenced the first stage of his Battle of Britain with German fighter planes being released to attack the British Isle. Yet, only a small group of British fighter pilots shot down around 180 well-trained Nazi Bombers at a rate that could not be explained by Radar Air Command, prompting Churchill's famous quote, "Never have so many owed so much to so few" On September 8, 1940, the third day of prayer from the nation led to angels-sightings in the sky over Britain. Even though the Germans sent 5 fighter planes with every single bomber during the next weeks of raids, they still lost 185 planes to the British who incurred relatively small losses. German General Goering prepared invasion barges, but a great storm rose up and blew them away. The Nazi invasion of Britain was postponed, giving the Allies more time to arm themselves. On March 23, 1941, no one knew Hitler had planned to attempt another invasion of Britain, yet faithful King George called again for a 4th national day of prayer. Soon after, a great earthquake created waves with terrifying gales which blew the Germans' ships 80 miles off course. Yugoslavia, which had surrendered to Hitler, changed its mind that same week and began organizing a resistance against him. Ethiopia was liberated from the Axis leader Mussolini. The Italian Navy lost many cruisers and destroyers as they fought the British Navy in the Mediterranean who in turn suffered no damage and lost no men. As a result of the submarine earthquake, Hitler suddenly changed his mind entirely and gave up his plans to invade Britain and decided to attack Russian instead against the council of all of his advisers! On the anniversary of the war, the King called for the 5th day of prayer on September 3, 1942. The next day at Palermo, the entire Italian fleet was sunk in the Mediterranean. And the next month the 8th army saved Egypt (and subsequently the land of Israel) from being invaded by Hitler. The 6th day was called on September 3, 1943 for the fourth anniversary of the war. That same night Italy surrendered to the allies. In the Spring of 1944, as the time for the d-day invasion approached, King George called for the 7th time for the nation to pray. And General Dwight Eisenhower said, "If there was nothing else in my life to prove the existence of an Almighty and Merciful God, the events of the next twenty-four hours did it." Our Prayer War In the fall of 2012, the Lord showed me the intentions of a group of world leaders who would attempt to gain control of America and use it to terrorize the world. They knew that, without control of America, they would never succeed in their one world government. I was heart sick as the Lord showed me their plans. But tenderly He told me He could not yet promise they would be unable to accomplish their plans. Indeed, He said their victory would depend on the reaction of the Light of the World - the church. Yet, He promised that if we would fight for our world, He would save it. This war is not a war about politics. We are not at war with each other. We are at war with the same principalities that have attempted to conquer us from the very beginning. I cried out to Him, "Lord, what can we do?" He said, "If My church will not fight them, who will?" Suddenly, I realized how the enemy had tried desperately to keep us fighting one another, so we wouldn't come after him, and how he'd tried to keep our prayer focused on the symptoms of sin rather than the cure to sin - Jesus Christ. All in an attempt to keep us from fulfilling 2 Chronicles 7:14, "Then if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and RESTORE THEIR LAND." Since that time, I've seen many, many prayer movements rise up all over the world for America and truly, we need it! One prayer call was Azuza Now 2016, which brought 120,000 prayer warriors together to pray for the promise of Azuza, as prophesied separately by William J. Seymour and Maria Woodworth-Etter in 1913, that the Holy Spirit would be poured out again 100 years after the Azuza Street Revival, and it would an even more powerful outpouring than before. Indeed, if we think for one minute that our victory in prayer was for the outcome of an election, we are misdirected. Our prayer war cannot be for anything less than the awakening from the Lord that was promised: For the Church to become the vessel of the Lord and carry mercy and love to the lost. Our war has not been won, for truly, it has just begun. We need Jesus! He is our ONLY HOPE! We're not fighting a political war, but a spiritual war for the souls of mankind and for the hope of the world. We must continue to fight with 2 Chronicles 7:14 and contend for the promise of the Holy Spirit as they did at Pentecost! The Father says to His children, "Let this be said of your generation HERE and NOW: 'Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven,' (Psalm 107:28-30)" "Your response to the Chaos around you should be: 'do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' (Philippians 4:6-7)." "For surely, If you ask anything in My Son's name, I cannot turn away from you. Seek Me, turn away from sin and carnality and EMBRACE ME! Lock yourself away with Me and surrender your heart to me and I will give you peace even in the midst of chaos. I will be glorified as you pray in My Son's name and trust Me to hear you. "You are entering a NEW SEASON, truly, the greatest season mankind will ever experience. I want to reveal My wonders to you, I want to show Myself glorious through you! Give me your trust, open your heart and surrender to Me. Together, we will transform the world! Pray this with me: Father God, I want all that you have for me. Help me to be everything you need me to me. I surrender my heart and mind to you and ask you to wash me in your FAITH. Give me the strength of your JOY and the liberty of HOPE! Forgive my unbelief and saturate me in you so I can trust you! In Jesus' name, amen.

A Creative-Prophetic Explosion Is On The Horizon Annie Edwards August 22, 2018 God designed man in His image; He reproduced that spark of ingenuity and creative power to activate everything that man ever put his hand to. We were formed with the genetic material to speak into atmospheres and shift the climates of spaces we inhabit. Our DNA drives us to imagine, innovate and replicate our dreams with the tools we have at our disposal. We were purposed to take the basic concepts that God revealed to us at the beginning of time and build on those things to sculpt our world into a landscape of beauty and homage to the Uncreated One.
I’ve been dreaming with God; asking Him which of my thousands of dreams He wants me to focus on for the time being. You see, I love to sing and write music but those aren’t the only creative outlets with which God has gifted me. I’m a draftsman and a painter; I could lose myself in a sketchbook and box of Faber-Castells for hours. I’m also an aspiring author. I’m currently working on three books, two about worship and one work of fiction that I’ve been gnawing on for nearly a decade now. I’m passionate about creating things and about seeing that love of creation unlocked in others. I want to see us equipped with the ability to produce, but more than that, I want to see people who dream of seeing a union between the prophetic and creative in a way that has never been experienced before. The prophetic is the ability to see the way God sees and release that vision in a way that inspires a craving in others for the vision of God. I believe that there is a coupling on the horizon between the creative and prophetic that will draw people into God’s presence and ask them to come face to face with the love of the Father. We see the arts in services; we see poetry and spoken word, dances and dramas, songs and paintings released to congregations. But we also see people who perceive these things as entertainment; just another part of the show. I believe a wave of desire is washing over the “regular church attendee”; those who come on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights to participate but don’t think that they have a place to serve. I see God moving over these people and opening their eyes to the heaven that is being released all around them; inspiring them to become part of God’s creatives. I believe that God encounters are going to occur as artist place brush to canvas; that three-dimensional swirls of His Spirit are going to dance and spin around the minds of those who crave His presence. I believe as dancers stomp and spin, hearts will beat in time with the cadence of heaven, awakening them to purpose and drawing them into something deeper with the Father. Song, lyric and melody will no longer be something to repeat but will unlock the multi-faceted sound of the throne room; cherubim and seraphim crying, “HOLY!” We will no longer be limited to the sights of this plane of existence, but our eyes will be opened to the actual vision of God; His perspective on world events and His strategies to release aide to the hopeless (because, above all, this is the purpose of the prophetic). Two days ago, I was speaking with Abba in my car and He took me to an event that I’ll be worshiping at soon. The Lord showed me drawings laying on the altar. He showed me images of faces that I had never seen before. He revealed to me that in the quiet place He would begin to show me the faces of those that I would meet, that I would draw those faces and write poetry about their purposes on the backs of those drawings. It was such a powerful word over my life, but the Lord began to show me that it wasn’t just for me. That artists all over the world were beginning to expect more; to understand that their gifts of creation were going to have the breath of prophecy released over them. We are expecting too little from God. Our God wants us to think about our gifts and anointings outside of the realm of what we think is possible. His perspective and a revelation of the limitlessness of His capabilities are the keys to see a shifting into the arts as a truly prophetic vein of worship. I release an inspiring encounter with the Father over you. I declare that a revelation of the power of your gift begins to fill you up to overflow. I see you receiving directives on how to reproduce God’s power through your mode of ministry. I say you will be overwhelmed by a desire to marry the prophetic, the logos, and your gifting. We declare a shifting in the creative ministries of churches and a new wind of the prophetic to blow from them; releasing dreams, visions and a craving in the body of Christ to see heaven revealed to our earthly minds in the all-powerful name of Jesus, Amen!

Lana Vawser August 20, 2018 The Lord spoke to me this week that there are UNUSUAL BREAKTHROUGHS upon the body of Christ right now. Where many have been facing "unusual circumstances" - things that don't have an explanation, things that have left many confused, bewildered and some despaired, the Lord is moving powerfully right now and He is bringing UNUSUAL breakthrough.
Where there has been "one thing after another" for many, things taking place that don't usually happen, intense battles that have been on a whole other scale, I felt the encouragement of the Lord, that He has seen, He knows, He is with you, and He has already provided the way for your breakthrough. He is not distant, far off, or absent, He is present and He is empowering you. These "unusual circumstances" many are facing are attempting to steal your hope, steal your vision, steal your joy, but know this.. the Spirit of God is moving and your hope, your vision and your joy will be restored. When the Lord spoke to me about "UNUSUAL BREAKTHROUGH" the sense that came strongly with these words, was that the Lord is going to surprise you with His breakthrough. Don't try and "work out" how the breakthrough is going to happen. For many of you, you are about to receive your greatest breakthrough in the most unexpected and unusual ways. Many of you are about to receive your vindication, your recompense and your restoration in the most unusual and surprising ways and it will fill you with incredible joy, hope for the future and strength in the faithfulness of God. The Lord wants to show Himself strong. I have carried this word for a long time now, that in this season, the Lord is manifesting in such power, and such strength, and He is going to continue reveal Himself as your defender and your God. We are in the season right now. "God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in time of trouble—more than enough and always available whenever I need you." - Psalm 46:1 (The Passion Translation) Those of you who are still in the waiting - HOLD ON! Don't lose hope! This is a season of RADICAL RECOMPENSE. The Lord spoke to me recently that the recompense and restoration we are going to see in this season in the body of Christ will be UNPRECEDENTED!!! It will be a HUGE WAVE of His Spirit and power bringing RESURRECTION LIFE and turning things around SUDDENLY! The Lord has been speaking this A LOT in the past few years, and many have lost hope, because they have not seen their breakthrough, but I want to encourage you, continue to TAKE HIM at HIS WORD! He has not forgotten you, He has not left you and many of you have been so despaired and discouraged that the feeling has started to creep in of "maybe things will never change" or "I will never get my breakthrough" or "breakthrough is not for me". I want to encourage you, rebuke those thoughts! Take those thoughts captive! The Lord wants to show Himself strong in your life, and even if it's the midnight hour right now, hold on, because the Lord has an UNUSUAL BREAKTHROUGH that has your name on it. HIS NAME WILL BE LIFTED HIGH When I asked the Lord "Why unusual breakthrough's?", He replied and said "I want to reveal My power and Glory on a scale that has never been seen before." The Lord wants to demonstrate His goodness, His power and faithfulness to you in SIGNIFICANT and SUPERNATURAL ways. So keep holding on for your breakthrough. These unusual breakthrough's will leave you surprised and shocked but in AWE of His goodness, power and faithfulness. His name will be lifted high!!!! God is doing in this season and will continue to do what only HE can do! Don't believe the lie that you are going down and going to drown in your circumstances, believe the decree of the Lord... THINGS WILL TURNAROUND just possibly in the most unusual and unexpected ways but all orchestrated by His hand!!!! Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. - Zechariah 4:6 (Amplified Version) Lana Vawser www.lanavawser.com SIGN UP TO RECEIVE OUR FREE EMAIL MESSAGES from God's powerfully anointed women all over the world at WomenofImpactMinistries.com CLICK HERE to submit an article.

The Father Is Beginning a Transformation of Ministries Victoria Boyson August 16, 2018 Transforming the skyline, the Father entered the atmosphere and filled the earth with Himself. Warm and inviting, He watched and waited for His children to come to Him. He wore a long and glorious light-filled robe, rays of light emanating from it as it bathed the landscape with His light and glory.
Captivated by the Father's robe, Beloved discovered this was no ordinary garment - it was adorned and embellished with nothing less than human souls. Seemingly embroidered and woven into the fabric of the Father's glorious robe, He'd chosen to grace Himself in a raiment of the people He loved. Like any good father would, He loved to show off His robe of treasure, as He called it. As He did, the Father slowly twirled around to reveal all the many people and ministries in it that reached all over the world declaring and sharing the glory of His kingdom. Beloved loved watching as He danced to reveal the splendor of His prized garment. As the seekers worshiped and rejoiced in Him, His robe was made brighter even more so than before. As those He loved delighted in Him, the train of His glory fell well below His feet. He chose to dress Himself in people, all people, from all nations - those who were found by Him and chose to live in Him. Radiantly, they beamed with His power flowing through them. They were, indeed, overjoyed to be a part of His precious garment. Proud to reveal the people He loved and their breathtaking splendor, He beamed with joy and pride as He turned around and around, slow at first and then a bit faster. As He twirled, His robe of people swirled out from around Him and it increased and grew until it reached all over the globe. His eternal-robe knocked down mountains and kingdoms of the earth, leveling any that had been made by man's design, which were raised to draw others to the temporal beauty of creation. It obliterated the idols of man, which He especially hated because they distracted the people from Him and kept them from receiving His love. Around and around He turned, until the glory from His robe covered the earth and the earth glowed with His resplendence. He stopped and turned His back toward Beloved and she watched as He manifested His robe like a mighty mountain. He wanted her to see the countless people trying in vane to climb the back of His robe to get to the top of the mountain, not realizing He was the mountain. The soul-lined robe was simply unrecognizable to those whose only thoughts were manipulated by ambitions of self-grandeur. As they tried to climb the mountain of God's robe, they did not even see that the gems they were climbing on were actual human souls - their bothers and sisters in Christ. Using the precious people within His robe to anchor and steady themselves for the climb, they pulled and stepped on them as though they were only rock. Climbing sometimes for years, these ambitious brothers and sisters used the humble, yet beautiful gem-souls as though they had no other value except for their usefulness to the climbers. Of course, those ascending caused those they stepped on great pain, but, mysteriously, the Lord allowed it to happen. Pushing and clambering, the ambitious revealed their hearts to the Lord and as they did, He could see they were not yet ready to become a part of Him. He watched the climbers patiently as they damaged His beautiful robe, but He never lost heart. He waited patiently for them to become more desperate for Him. However, focused only on the climb, living on Him, but not in Him, the ambitious often fell, especially when the Father gave a little shutter of His back, shaking many climbers loose. It was His mercy toward them as they tumbled back down to the bottom of His mountainous robe. It pleased Him to do it, because their focus was not what it should be - they were missing the joy He was offering them. And what a fall some of them had, for He was a tall mountain. Only those souls who were embedded into His robe could withstand the movement of it. They were held secure, woven into the very fibers of His raiment. They seemed to even glisten with His joy as He shuffled His back to show Beloved that no one who climbs can stay, only those who choose to be a part of Him will endure. Shining more brightly, those who dwelt in His robe radiated even brighter during these moments, and as they did, even those who'd fallen off while trying to climb watched them in wonder. For some of the climbers, it was the first time they'd considered the value of the gem-souls and it brought them much needed revelation of the Father's love. Passing by all the vast wealth of treasure in His robe, the ambitious didn't see the value in souls and used them instead of cherishing them. Thoughtlessly climbing, they knew they were called, but didn't yet understand what true greatness was. Beloved realized the Father didn't mind that they would climb on Him; He seemed to expect it. And when one climber would suddenly open His eyes and awaken to the reality of the robe-mountain, the entire robe would erupt with great joy. Radiating the light of their value, the gem-souls came alive when even just one climber saw their true worth. What wealth lay in store for those who discovered the Father's treasured gems. Earlier, as they had been busy climbing, they had seen these individual souls as valueless, foolish people who did not matter. They saw them as less, because they were not as ambitious as they were and considered them lazy and undeserving because they lacked the ambition to climb. However, after a fall, many began to see them differently. Beginning to understand, they saw the gems as true followers, because they did not use God to get higher, but chose to live in Him and to become a part of Him. With newly contrite hearts, they could suddenly see the gem-souls as if they had just revealed themselves from all areas over His robe. However, it was the Father who revealed them to the previously ambitious climbers. Truly, although they'd been there all along, they were not visible to those climbing until they were humiliated by their fall. Some, however, refused to acknowledge the gem-souls, choosing, instead, to harden their hearts, missing entirely the great treasure of the Father. The treasures of humility and meekness were disregarded by the vain, self-centered travelers, who even saw them as lesser Christians. Beloved watched as they mocked them, seeing them as lazy, small and insecure. In shock, Beloved watched as the rebellious, finally seeing the gem-souls, dishonored them instead of seeing the value the Father put on them. Some even saw them as anti-Christians who got in God's way and in kicking them, felt they were serving God. Beloved tried to make them hear her as she held tightly to the Lord for strength. "Can't you see? You are kicking God! He is the Robe! He is the Mountain! The gem-souls are HIM!" she cried out. Turning to the Rider, she buried her face in Him! Moved by her tender heart, He explained, "This is the Father's choice; it's the ramifications of His merciful heart. He chooses to give them time to see. This period of mercy in the lives of the selfish is especially important to Him, for many have turned to Him even after years of blindness." Returning her attention back to the Father's robe, Beloved began to understand the process mercy takes in a human soul and understood mercy never gives up. For those climbers who were able to see them, the gem-souls, in turn, threw down ropes for the climbers to use. However the ropes did not lead up, but into the robe of God. In their humbled condition, the climbers were grateful to receive the help and did as they were told. Grasping tightly to the mercy ropes, they held on as they were pulled in and out of the fibers of the robe. Although this was a long and tedious process, sometimes requiring years of patience for them, they were overjoyed to encounter the realms of the Father they had previously doubted existed. Continually asked to submit to Father's leadership regardless of the cost, they chose to lay down what they'd previously deemed priceless. What they felt they could not live without had now become nothing in comparison to living in Him. The Father's great mystery began to take shape as the climbers were woven in and out, shoved through the fibers of God's robe. Each time they endured His handy work, they were cleansed ever so much more by the fibers of His glory-robe. Without realizing it, the fibers of His robe were cleansing the dross from their souls, over and over again. Each time they experienced the immense and wondrous cleansing of their souls, they became like Him. Sometimes, when they thought they had finally settled into place, they were suddenly moved again. Often in their journey, as they were tempted to give up, the fibers of His garment seemed to change and become much softer, more pliable and comfortable than before. Lower and then higher, in and out, they were moved until, at last, they were fastened securely in Him. It was then they realized they too were one of the Father's treasured gem-souls, shiny and bright, glistening in the light of their Father's glory. Contrite, cleansed and polished, they were securely fitted and nestled in the position the Father created for each of them, as though it had been made with them in mind. They were truly needed and were celebrated by the family of God's garment! They finally felt the belonging their soul yearned for.

New Land Is Birthing – Kingdom Territory Is Yours Helen Cobanov August 15, 2018 I have felt for some time that there have been people sitting in a place of waiting and prayer and some who have been really contending for their destiny. I believe that God has been taking us through a process of refining His Bride ready for all that is ahead. I have felt very recently a pressure has been building, and since the other day I have had this very expectant feeling in my spirit. I can feel it in the atmosphere around me, like the air is pregnant. I feel a painful cry of endurance building like something significant is about to take place. As God made me aware of this expectant feeling, I heard the words singing out “NEW LAND IS BIRTHING! KINGDOM TERRITORY IS YOURS!”
As I heard these words I saw a vision of people standing on the water. God showed me that these people are ones who have been willing to step out of the boat. They have endured storms. They have at times struggled to keep their heads above water. They have been treading water, contending in prayer, crying out to God for breakthrough. But through all they’ve endured, they have built an unwavering faith and a determination to keep their eyes locked on God, and trust Him in all things. “Then Jesus said, “Be brave and don’t be afraid. I am here!” Peter shouted out, “Lord, if it’s really You, then have me join you on the water!” ..”Come and join me,” Jesus replied. So Peter stepped out onto the water and began to walk toward Jesus.” Matt 14:27-29 TPT. Then I saw a wave of God’s Spirit rising up and moving across the Earth and I saw new land rising up from the depths of the ocean. This land was springing up in front of people and I heard the words: “It’s time to come to shore; it’s time to take the land.” PLACE YOUR FEET ON THE SHORE AND ADVANCE Then He said “I am birthing new land and you are to place your feet on the shore and advance! (Josh 1:3) “I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.” Now take this land and claim it for My Kingdom. I have heard your prayers, your cries for breakthrough, for new territory. As you have been willing to come out of your comfort zone into places you thought were out of your depth, you have learnt to trust Me and to listen to My voice. At times you have felt that you’re in way over your head, or that you’ve been treading water in the waiting. But through all this you have not looked back, and I have built in you a deep endurance and a strength as you have learnt to keep your eyes fixed on Me. From that place you have seen Me lift you up and you have experienced the joy of walking on water with Me. Through all this I have been aligning you and preparing you for the path I have ahead.” As people stood on this land I saw it extending and growing. I saw more land rising up in this ocean. More Kingdom territory was being claimed as more people started to receive breakthrough. STRATEGY FOR GREATER TERRITORY As I saw this unfolding before my eyes, I could see God’s Spirit moving strategically across the Earth. These new areas of land started to connect, and people started to advance together like a mighty army covering the Earth. I saw STRATEGIC PATHS ALIGNING with STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS taking place, which then took greater territory and brought an even greater move of Gods power that reached places which were once thought unreachable, and that changed places that were once thought unchangeable. People were receiving this new land at different times, yet God’s timing was perfect. “Don’t doubt your delays, but trust My ways. Fix your eyes on Me, for you are about to see, ALL that I have planned. Now come with Me, My Kingdom territory is yours.” “I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into His abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover. I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus. So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them. And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.” Phil 3:12-16 TPT.

Jo Ellen Stevens August 9, 2018 We are entering into something called the Kingdom age but God is trying to change people’s mindsets about the way that we do things as His body, the church. Our thinking has been for us to sit on a pew and wait for the Lord to come and rescue us before this world gets too dark, when Jesus said it plainly. In Luke 19:12-13 “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”
Many of us are storing our ten pounds in fear of what the gloom and doomers are saying instead of occupying. When Jesus saved us and filled us with the Holy Spirit, gave us gifts, talents, houses, churches and lands, it wasn’t so He could get us out of here right away. No, He said to occupy! HE IS LOOKING FOR AN OCCUPYING ARMY TO RAISE UP SINCE HE HAS ALREADY WON THE WAR! This is the meaning of an occupying army according to google; Military Occupation; control and possession of hostile territory that enables an invading nation to establish military government against an enemy or martial law against rebels or insurrectionists in its own territory.” And this is the Greek translation of the word Occupy in Luke 19; “to be occupied in anything; to carry on a business; specifically, to carry on the business of a banker or trader.” CARRY OUT HIS KINGDOM BUSINESS See Jesus died and gave his life and destroyed principalities and powers and rendered them illegal in the earth and now we have been given the power of the Holy Spirit, the Name of Jesus, the gifts, talents, and all that pertains to life and godliness to OCCUPY THESE PLACES ON EARTH THAT HE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR! Jesus said that we are to pray “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” Hmmmm, to me that is saying to us that He wants us to bring heaven to earth at least while we still have life and breath! He wants us to “CARRY ON HIS KINGDOM BUSINESS” AND THE GREEK MEANING SAYS “ESPECIALLY OF A BANKER OR TRADER”. We need to be doing His banking business. Whatever He has given us right now, He is expecting us to do His business with! He is wanting us to take control and possession of the hostile territory that the insurrectionist (the devil and his cohorts) are still trying to occupy! If we are ever going to see Him come, it will not be because we have sat on our duff and done nothing with what He has given us. It won’t be because we have watched 12 out of 24 hours a day of Christian TV, but it will be because we did what He told us to do, with what we have been given! God is calling many right now to “CHANGE THEIR MINDSET ABOUT HEAVEN AND EARTH! Yes, He is coming but He is coming for a glorious church occupying and taking care of the business that He has given us here in earth! SO HOW WILL YOU BRING THE KINGDOM TO EARTH? Jesus has placed the Kingdom within us! He said in Luke 17:20-21 “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” He also told His disciples in Matthew 10:7-8 “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” So truly, to bring the kingdom to earth we must go with what we have and release the kingdom by giving these gifts that he has given us to those who are bound by the darkness! THE LORD IS SAYING “I am calling those out of the earth to arise as an occupying force in the earth and execute the victory that I have already won! I am calling them to occupy the places in the earth that in years past the enemy thought that he had in the bag! These are the dark places of the earth! I DID NOT CALL YOU TO CURSE THOSE IN THE DARKNESS, BUT TO BRING LIGHT TO THOSE IN THE DARKNESS. I have given you all things and equipped you with talents and gifts and in this season, I am going to give those who have been faithful and trustworthy the money to finance their expanded vision that I have given them! There is nothing that can stop this occupying force in these days, but you must change your mindset from chaos to Kingdom and from wanting me to slay all of the evil ones to bringing my Salvation to them! I am in the process of renewing minds about this. I am doing this in answer to the prayers of the righteous as I did for Abraham’s family as he prayed! Think about this … You have a desire to see me destroy those that are in sin but what if that were your daughter or Son? I am long suffering and a merciful God and My mercy triumphs over judgement! The harvest is white! As you see the darkness, arise and intercede for me to open their eyes during these times of deep darkness and tragedy!” SPEAK TO THE DARKNESS “So begin to speak to the darkness! Begin to call Heaven to earth! You are the occupying force my people! You have been given the authority! You have the word in your mouth and My Name as your power of attorney! You have been given both power and authority! Go and shine in the darkness! Shine on these places that the enemy thinks he owns! Use your Kingdom knowledge to do My Business on earth! You have My wisdom at your disposal! You have My money, My weapons and My Angel army at your bidding! You have everything that Heaven has inside of you and in your mouth is the power of My Name and word! Call those things that be not as though they already are! Decree a thing and it will be established! It is time to arise and OCCUPY TILL I COME!” Luke 19:15 (NKJV) “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.” Jo Ellen Stevens www.dstevens7.wixsite.com/tcic SIGN UP TO RECEIVE OUR FREE EMAIL MESSAGES from God's powerfully anointed women all over the world at WomenofImpactMinistries.com CLICK HERE to submit an article.

The King Is Extending His Scepter to You Angela Stolba August 8, 2018 The king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king. Esther 8:4
Recently, my husband and I attended our small group for a time of worship and prayer. While we were engaged in praise, singing “The Lion and the Lamb” by Bethel Music, I had a vision where I was standing before Jesus. A portion of the song’s chorus—“Who can stop the Lord almighty?”—was playing loudly as I locked eyes with the Son of God. Jesus then placed a crown upon my head and He extended His scepter to me. I began to weep and immediately fell to my knees, worshiping Him and placing my crown at His feet. I knew, just like Esther, I had found favor with my King. The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti (Esther 2:17). As I have pondered this vision, I sense the Lord’s heart of encouragement towards His Bride: “My Beloved, I am extending My scepter to you in this very hour. The courts of heaven are ruling in your favor, and justice is being served! I, Myself, will silence the voice of the accuser, and I will condemn every other tongue of judgement that may try to rise against you. For who can stop the Lord, Almighty?” No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord (Isaiah 54:17). “Like Esther, your prayers and petitions have continually come before Me, and now I am granting your request: Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be given to you.” “When a king chooses to extend his scepter, it trumps all other protocols and opinions of others. As it is written in Romans 9:15, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.’ My Bride, just like Esther, you have found much favor in My sight. I am calling you forth from your place of hiddenness and obscurity for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). “Your long season of waiting and preparation has not been in vain. I tell you, now is the time of My favor! Where man has looked at you and deemed you unqualified, I, Myself, qualify you,” says the Lord. “You have continuously given Me your ‘yes,’ and have walked boldly and courageously with Me into this new, uncharted territory. Truly your wilderness season of isolation has prepared you. I will now place a new mantle of influence and authority upon you, giving you a portion among the great. For I raise the poor from the dust, and lift the needy from the ash heap. I seat them with princes, and have them inherit a throne of honor” (1 Samuel 2:8). You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance (Psalm 66:12). “Even as with Esther, you have not sought to make a name for yourself, but rather your number one desire has been intimacy with your King—to know Me and to make Me known. I am now extending My scepter to you and bringing you to the forefront! Do not fear; be bold and courageous, and know that I am with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn (Isaiah 60:1-3).

Sylvia Neusch August 6, 2018 I recently heard the phrase "holding pattern" and knew immediately that this is exactly how many have felt in this interesting and often confusing season in which we find ourselves. If you've ever been in a hurry to get somewhere, and yet your plane has been instructed to maintain a "holding pattern", you know the frustration that can occur as your plane circles and re-circles the same airspace without getting you to your destination.
Many have experienced this "holding pattern" intensely as you have the word of the Lord burning within you. You have heard His prophetic promises of promotion, acceleration, and momentum, yet you are waiting. Our wonderful Father is intent on getting you where you are going, but He is also intent on preparing you for the next phase of your journey before He takes you there. He will not cut short the preparation process, and He will not send you into your next assignment without training and equipping you with what you will need. The Father has necessary upgrades for you. We have been in a season of preparation and much of that preparation has to do with our hearts. Every time God gives us a promotion or new assignment, it requires an upgrade in our identity and relationship with Him. We often want to focus on external things, getting ahead of ourselves and His timing, but God purposefully pulls us back, lovingly drawing us into the secret place with Him where true growth and progress will take place. I am reminded of the children of Israel as Joshua led them to cross over into their Promised Land. Surely they expected to launch right into setting up their homes and finally tasting for themselves the milk and honey of the land. But, God had a different plan. He gave the order to Joshua that they were to stop and circumcise all the men before they could move on. (Josh. 5:2) It must have seemed like the worst possible timing! They had waited so long to step into the land of their dreams and now they were to remain immobile until everyone healed. How impatient they must have felt! But, Joshua obeyed the command of the Lord, and the men were circumcised. After the act was done, God said "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." (Josh. 5:9) Reproach defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is "A cause or occasion of blame, discredit, or disgrace." Though the Israelites had left Egypt a long time ago, they still carried Egypt in their hearts. They continued to operate under a "slave" mentality, performing their tasks and assignments outwardly, without an inward heart change. They carried the disgrace of slavery with them even though they were essentially free. They behaved as orphans, with a fearful, poverty mentality. A whole generation died in the desert because they could not fully position their hearts to step into all the Father had prepared. The Father wanted to remove the shame and reproach of their past life in Egypt as well as their failures in the wilderness. He knew they would need this shift in order to courageously step into their new lives. We know that our "old man" or sinful nature was dealt with at the cross and we are, because of Christ's death and resurrection, the very righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (from 2 Cor. 5:21) Though we are under the new covenant, there is still a purification and circumcising of that which belonged to our old identity as well. Our minds have to be renewed so that we can see the Kingdom as He sees it. Our eyes will not be fully opened to see His Kingdom, until our minds have been fully renewed. "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 God gives us everything we need to renew our minds as we journey through our lives. He has the best of intentions towards each of His children as He persistently positions us to encounter Him in life-changing and mind-changing ways. God knows the inner workings of each of our hearts and the things that would keep us from flourishing in our new assignments. You may be at your Gilgal right now where God is rolling away the reproach from your life. The "cutting away" process may have seemed long and painful, but be encouraged. God is releasing upgrades for the next level and new season. This purifying process has been a necessary part to prepare you for what lies ahead. And now, there is a time of healing that must take place before you move forward. In Joshua 5:8, God gave specific instructions that apply to us today: "And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed". The Father wants to pull you close and whisper words of encouragement, healing, and identity to you. He has specific facets of His nature that He will reveal, but only to those who press in, come close, and listen. These encounters are life-changing as one encounter with Him can shift everything! Then, He will breathe His life-giving breath on you and your dreams. The embers of identity in you will become hot, burning coals as the truth of how you are known in Heaven resounds within your spirit. God wants to change the frustration of your "holding pattern" to delight as you embrace the "pattern of His holding". His arms are waiting to hold you as He pours out to you everything you will need for the coming season. "Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD."
