 It's Time to Be Drenched in This Move of God Helen Calder December 30, 2019 "I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs." (Is. 41:18, NIV)
The move of the Holy Spirit is likened to rivers breaking out in dry, barren places, or an incoming tide or rain poured out on parched ground (Is. 44:3). "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." (Hab. 2:14) If this resonates with you, take heart, for the Holy Spirit is moving! God is healing dryness. He is interrupting cycles of weariness. And He is removing hindrances that have led to frustration. Voyage of the Dawn Treader There is a book by C.S. Lewis in the Chronicles Narnia series called "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." As the story opens, the heroes, Edmund and Lucy, are discussing a framed picture on the wall. It is of a Narnian ship on the seas. As they observe the picture, they suddenly realize the boat and the sea in the picture are moving. A wind blows out from the picture, and a book in the room flaps and is tossed against the wall. They can smell the sea. A salty wave breaks out of the picture, and with a cold, wet splash, it breaks over the children – including Eustace, a skeptical onlooker. In a moment, all three are pulled into the frame, into a new reality, where they find themselves caught up in another kingdom and in the service of the king. It Started with a Car Crash Like the picture on the wall, many of us, over the years, have put God in a frame of our own understanding. But He's breaking out of the frame. This has been happening for both me and my husband Malcolm. Signs of our own "new era" with God started breaking out in January 2016. One day, I was driving my car and turned right onto a main road. Just ahead of me, in a lane to my right, was a lady in a black SUV car with a baby strapped in a car seat behind her. We had the green light. Suddenly, in my peripheral vision, I noticed a maroon car driving toward us from the right at a high speed. I realized he was not going to stop. He hurtled towards us, narrowly missing the lady with the baby, and was about to collide with my driver's door when in that split second, I slammed on my brakes. Miraculously, I escaped injury by milliseconds, but my car was spun around, while the driver who crashed into me accelerated and disappeared, leaving only the smoke from his tires behind him. When I glanced up, it was just in time to see that there was no rear license plate on his car to identify him. Twenty minutes later, I was standing in front of my car, trembling in shock and shedding tears over the loss of my car. The Ford Falcon wasn't new, but I'd loved it. And whilst I had only a slight bump on my head, the front end of my car was wrecked. In that moment, I remembered something that happened the week before. I'd awoken sharply from a dream in the middle of the night. In the dream, I was speaking in an excited manner to an unseen audience about how grateful my husband and I were that the insurance company had written off our car, because now we could receive the upgrade we had prayed for. My first response, before I went back to sleep, was to dismiss the dream. After all, in 30 years of driving I'd never had an accident! And we certainly hadn't been praying for an upgrade for the car. I later realized that the dream was symbolic and shared about it that day with others on our team. But we never imagined for one moment that the dream would literally come to pass. When God Orders an Upgrade Nine days later, I was standing in front of my crashed car. And as I remembered the dream, shock gave way to gratitude and amazement. My Father already knew about this and must have sent an angel to protect me! Our insurer wrote off my car and released the funds for us to purchase another one. As my husband and I searched among many second-hand cars, our search narrowed down to one. It was a Ford Falcon – the same car I loved, but one year younger. It had less mileage on the odometer and it was my preferred color. Not only that, it was exactly the next model up from the one I'd lost. It was a small, very precise upgrade. But more than that, the event was a sign, and the dream I was given has been fulfilled many times over. Kingdom Encounters Since that time, God has been speaking to my husband and me more frequently through supernatural signs and unusual "coincidences." These can only be explained by divine orchestration. And often, objects or events in the physical realm, such as the car (and the shoehorn I wrote about in a recent word), are involved. God has been doing something in our lives that we had no prior frame of reference for. A "King Tide" and Splash Zone of the Spirit A "king tide" is an especially high spring tide. When there is a king tide, places that don't normally get wet become drenched. At these times, the ocean may stretch to reach ground it has never reached before. Right now, we are living in a time where the Kingdom of God is advancing. Like a king tide, the water level of the Holy Spirit is rising, and many of us are about to be caught up in the "new normal" of what God is doing. After decades of journeying with God and learning about the prophetic gifts, my husband Malcolm and I are living permanently astounded. The move of the Holy Spirit breaks over us, pulling and inviting us into the adventure our Father has called us to. Then there is the "splash zone." In C.S. Lewis' story, the selfish and unbelieving Eustace found himself in this "splash zone," caught in another kingdom, encountering a Redeemer. When God is moving, stories of what He is up to spill over and touch those around us, and together we learn what it means to navigate this "new normal." It's not comfortable, yet it is glorious, for when the Kingdom of God manifests, Jesus is the only explanation for what is taking place. Today, this is His invitation to you: It's time to be drenched. Prayer If you've been hungry to see God move in a new way, breathe this prayer with me today: Jesus, I ask You to move in my life. Give me ears to hear and eyes to see You at work. Break open the frame of my understanding. Let Your Kingdom life spill over me, over my family, my workplace, ministry, neighborhood and region. Drench us, Lord! Father, may Your Kingdom come, Your will be done – and may many come to know Jesus as King. May there be a revival of Your Word and Your Spirit, and I say, Lord, let it begin right here, right now. In Jesus' name. Amen.

In 2020, Freedom and Ownership Are YOURS! Helen Cobanov December 27, 2019 As we head into 2020, a new decade, and what many are calling a new era, I hear the word "FREEDOM" thundering and the word "OWNERSHIP" ringing out over God's people. Freedom Over the past few months, the Lord has been speaking strongly to me about the word "freedom." The Lord started to show me that He is EXPOSING the schemes of the enemy, by SHINING A LIGHT on the things that over time have been deeply buried and hidden in His people. Past hurts, pain, grief, emotions, lies, sins, doubts, wrong attitudes, hardness and more often hold us back and stop us from stepping into the fullness of all He has planned. The enemy uses these things to trap and trip us, take us captive and keep us bound and shackled. When the Lord brought the Israelites out of slavery, He didn't just offer them a moment of relief or breakthrough and send them right back into the hands of their captors! No, He set them FREE...then He led them into the Promised Land! "Let me be clear; the Anointed One has set us free – not partially, but completely and wonderfully free! We must always cherish this truth and stubbornly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past." (Galatians 5:1, TPT) Ripple Effect As the Lord was speaking to me about this, I saw His fist coming down upon the earth causing a ripple effect, and I heard the words "LET MY PEOPLE GO" ring out across the land! RIPPLE EFFECT: "a situation in which one event produces effects which spread and produce further effects." (Cambridge Dictionary) The Lord said, "I am shining a light on these things, NOT to bring pain, shame or condemnation to My people, but to SET MY PEOPLE FREE. As I do this, DON'T CONDEMN them...BE KIND! For they are MY people. So don't throw the first stone!" (It's His kindness that leads us to repentance.) Then I saw the ripple effect again, and the Lord said, "But for those who do choose to cast a stone, I am shining a light on these wrong attitudes, wickedness, sin and doubts that have been buried in you – not to cause you pain, shame or condemnation, but to also set YOU free." This ripple effect is like a cleansing, a washing, that we, His Bride, are going to go through to prepare, clean and ready us so that nothing can separate us from the love and goodness of God! Through His transforming love and power, this will bring healing and restoration to His people. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus! So open your eyes, open your hearts, open your mouths! It's time to declare FREEDOM over your lives! He has come to gloriously set you FREE so that you can walk into the Promised Land – into His promises! "I am the Gateway. To enter through Me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. A thief has only one thing in mind – he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect – life in its fullness until you overflow!" (John 10:9-10, TPT) Ownership: Honor Is in Your Crown This year, people have been at war over their lives, their destinies, and the battle has been great! Many felt like giving up, but the Lord said, "You have pulled through! Every cry, every tear, every prayer, every longing, every roar has been heard. Take heart, take courage! COME and TAKE YOUR CLAIM!" I heard the word "OWNERSHIP" ringing out like a bell to awaken and get the attention of His children. Taking ownership means standing up and announcing that you are responsible for carrying out a particular task. Then I saw people lining up, ready to come and receive their badges, their rewards for their works, their sacrifices, their survival of the battle. But then the Lord said, "Stop wearing your works, your endurance, your sacrifices, your suffering like a badge of honor. It's time to come and receive your crown! Your HONOR is your crown! Your INHERITANCE! Your true AUTHORITY. "It's time to take hold of your true IDENTITY in Me! You are My ROYAL CHILDREN! It's time to take ownership of the promises I have for you. It's time to step into the fullness of ALL I have planned. Come and take Me by the hand." "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."

Flight or Delight Dannette Lynn December 20, 2019 I found this breaking point recently when I was praying and it had to do with an opposite reaction. I was praying in the same way that the Lord had taught me to do, in order to manifest His promises for our miracle provision. In my prayer time, I was imagining by faith the answer to the prayer. Also, I was thanking Him in advance for what I had been asking for, in order to step into the Mark 11:24 promise. There was this lingering time when nothing seemed to be happening and it didn’t ‘feel’ like anything was going to happen. I started to get thoughts such as ‘this isn’t working’, ‘nothing is happening’, ‘I don’t think God can hear me’, and ‘why isn’t God helping me?’. However, once again, I was too desperate to doubt, so I kept going. I discovered that it was immediately after having those fearful and doubting thoughts that the breakthrough came. For several days, the Holy Spirit started to tie pieces together for me. I was in the hospital a couple of days ago for a test and the nurse had to put a numbing spray in my throat. She told me how awful and painful it would be. The nurse told me that it was going to string and hurt really bad and that I needed to hold my breath to help me not to taste as much of the horrible medicine. I was really getting scared, but there was nothing I could do at that point to back out of it. Then the nurse put this spray in my throat and to my surprise, it didn’t hurt at all and the flavor really wasn’t so bad as she made it sound. Afterward, the nurse began to giggle and she said that she purposely made it sound really bad so that when it happened, I would realize that it wasn’t bad at all. When I went home to rest following the test, the Lord was talking to me about the wild horses of fear. He showed me that almost always things will be the opposite of what we fear if we do not come into agreement with the fears. Just like when I was praying, when the intimidating fears told to me to stop praying because my prayers were not working, it was actually the opposite that was happening! Those thoughts that were negative, were a spiritual indication that I had reached the tipping point of my prayers being answered. Fearful thoughts are like wild horses. Wild horses have intense fear and it is their nature to take off in flight when frightened. Those fears need to be calmed and harnessed into faith, otherwise, they can drive us into terrible places in our mind and bring distraction that can hinder the effectiveness of our faith to manifest as we desire. When those thoughts of fear, foreboding or negative outcomes show up, we need to train those fears, as if we were taming wild horses. The first step is to calm our soul, by pouring over those fears to God. Once we feel safe in Abba’s loving protection, then we will not run off in our minds with those fears that try to distract. The next move that needs to happen, is we need to control those fears, but immediately casting down those negative thoughts. As we cast down the negative thoughts, we can propel our faith into action by pressing into faith-filled decrees and thoughts. The most important part of breaking through to see our prayers happen is to not agree with a negative thought. If you believe that you have already received the request, then the desire is yours! That is a fantastic promise. If we can grasp that reality in our thoughts, then truly nothing will ever be impossible. I hope this blesses you as it has blessed me. I am working on a love letter that will compliment this message into a powerful activation so that you can see the answer to your prayers come immediately. Expect that God is giving you the opposite of what you fear.

No More Delay! The Almond Tree Has Blossomed Anita Alexander December 18, 2019 If you would like strategy in these pivotal times of possessing, I encourage you to read this word; it just may hold keys for you.
An Interception of Time This past November was an intense month full of intentional intercession and partnering with the Word of the Lord in agreement that it is time to possess promises. As I look back over this time, the theme in my dreams and intercession has been the enemy trying to hold back promises and intercept timing through DELAY. Daniel 7:25, "He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law..." Seeking to interfere with time is one of the enemy's key strategies in seeking to frustrate the saints' purposes and rob them from powerful faith that is needed to inherit. He uses this strategy to cause discouragement and a "sick heart" by hope being deferred (Romans 4:16, Galatians 6:9, Proverbs 13:12). Early on November 10, 2019, I had a dream someone was trying to give birth or give me promises but I somehow couldn't receive. Then in the next scene of my dream, I saw an hour glass nearly about to run out of sand, and I felt the sense that "time is running out." I believe, in some ways, this part of the battle of possessing promises was against time. We must understand that in possessing and inheriting, battling and advancing, we are engaging different enemies at different stages of our advancement, and in this case, this enemy has been fierce. Discouragement was almost like a wedge of defeat that had to be fully overcome and dislodged if this battle was to be won. When you feel in your heart that you are not able to go on and endure one more disappointment, this can cripple your advancement, and thus the enemy's plan can look like it is succeeding. "000" and "Reset" For two days following this dream I kept seeing "000" EVERYWHERE, and I kept hearing the word "reset" over and over. Not fully understanding this, I just trusted that the Lord would reveal exactly what He was trying to show me. Interestingly enough, a few days after this dream and after I started seeing "000" and hearing "reset," my intercession partner sent me an excerpt from "Prayers and Declarations that Open the Courts of Heaven" by Robert Henderson. It was the passage was from chapter 10 on "Resetting Timing in the Courts of Heaven." My intercession partner didn't know about the dream I had just had, nor what I was hearing about "reset," so I knew this was the Holy Spirit walking us through a very strategic battle strategy to overcome the enemy's tactics and plans. The actual title to the chapter used the word "Resetting." WOW. God is good! As I interceded through the confessions laid out in this chapter and began to receive healing for a "sick heart," I began to feel a significant shifting and breakthrough take place. However, I felt the battle on time wasn't fully over. You Are on Your Last Trip Around Jericho The following week during Sunday service, I went into a prophetic space in worship. I saw the sun going down and I heard in the spirit, "Oh, no! The sun is going down!" I understood this to mean the "pressing of time," the feeling that time was running out. I then heard the Lord say, "No, you are just on your last trip around Jericho!" The vision opened up and the Lord began to show me that on the last day of triumph at Jericho, the Israelites marched seven times around the walls Jericho – every other day before that it was only once, so it would make sense that the sun was going down on their last trip around on that final day (Joshua 6). You see, as we are getting closer to our breakthrough, when it is "possession time," we find ourselves close to those impenetrable walls of Jericho. We are no longer viewing them from a distance and seeing the promise from afar. The inheritance the Lord has given you is right behind those intimidating walls that scream, "Impossible!" But when we are at the threshold of breakthrough we have to keep striking the ground, circling the city with intentionality and in a saturated, focused fashion until the shout of victory can be released from our bellies. We don't fight against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12); our fight to possess is in the spirit through intercession. We must continue partnering with the Lord in strategy and intense focus in order to fully defeat our enemy. Offensive warfare is very different from defensive warfare, and right now, in this season, the saints are in offensive warfare; they are possessing and taking back what the Lord has given them. You must keep striking the ground in intercession until victory. This analogy is explained in 2 Kings 13. So back to the sun going down. I felt the enemy was seeking to spin another story in the ears of those who are in the midst of possessing. He was seeking to twist the narrative and spell out an outcome that isn't true. This is his tactic. He throws projections and thoughts at you in the realm of the spirit so that you will believe and align with the lies and not with what the Lord has said. This could be projections of outcomes of defeat, fear, catastrophe, and thoughts that if you don't get your breakthrough it's all over! But that's all they are – projections. They are smoke screens and not truth. Where the enemy is screaming, "The sun is going down on you!" the Lord is saying, "No. It's just your final trip around Jericho!" You are getting ready to shout, for the Lord says, "I am filling your belly with a sound of victory you have never released. I am filling your vocal cords with a blast of frequency that is going to see the enemy flee seven ways. Wait, just wait, and expect Me!" Isaiah 64:4, "From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides You, who acts for those who wait for Him." In the Hebrew language word "active" means "active, operative, effectual, powerful, accomplish, to do; to be mighty in." So the Lord is going to powerfully accomplish His Word and be mighty for those who "wait" on Him. In other words, He does this for those who don't try to do it in their own strength, but flow with His timing and partner with His strategy in prayer, faith and intercession. Command the Sun to Stand Still The next morning, my mind was taken to the Scripture in Joshua 10:12-13 where Joshua commanded the sun to stand still so the nation could take vengeance upon their enemies: "Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, 'Sun, be silent and stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon!' And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance upon their enemies..." If you are feeling you are in a war against time, in your health, finances or other pressing situations in your battle for victory, know that you have the authority to command time to stand still until vengeance against the enemy has fully taken place. For awhile, I just sat on this revelation, not feeling a full release at the time to press into it in prayer. We must also understand that the Lord fills our hearts with revelation to bring it to a fullness of time in power. I will continue in my story and you will see what I mean by this. After holding this word in my heart and meditating on it, a few days later I had another dream pertaining to delay. In this dream, the sun was going down and I was being "locked" out of my inheritance. The current owners of that which I was seeking to possess came at "closing time" in the afternoon. They locked the doors and said, "Sorry, too late. You didn't get the victory in time." In this dream, the Lord revealed different blockages that needed to be prayed into which were hindering the breakthrough. These can be bloodline hindrances that need to be rectified in prayer, as was the case in my dream. So I prayed into this as the Lord led and received the victory. Can you see now why we have to flow with the timing of the Lord in strategy and in intercession? I would not have been able to stand in victory, commanding the sun to stand still, when these things needed to be rectified. Interestingly enough, that same morning after having this dream, while I was driving my daughter to a birthday party, I saw on a sign, "NOV. 999." The Lord was speaking to me regarding November, and said, "Anita, this is the month of restitution, recompense, victory and justice." So I thought, "OK, keep fighting on, keep pushing through, keep striking the ground, and the turnaround will come!" The Victory Over Time In the last week of November, I felt intense warfare from the enemy. As a confirmation of this from the Spirit, I was seeing "000" and "666" everywhere. I was thinking, "OK. There is more warfare needed here to reset the works of the enemy (666)." In 2018, the Lord gave me a dream about Him restoring fortunes from Psalm 126. In my dream I saw a gold box, and written above it was "666." I then saw the numbers flip to "999." I knew the number 9 symbolizes divine completeness or conveys the meaning of finality in the Hebrew language, and I understood this to mean that where the enemy was holding God's people's inheritance through the demonic plans and works through man, the Lord was bringing complete recompense and justice (999) and bringing forth a restitution. When I was seeing "666" everywhere I knew this meant the enemy's works needed to be flipped on their head. As November came to a close, and with the Lord continually confirming this demonic resistance against us fully breaking through, He brought me another physical sign. On November 28, I was walking through the grocery store and heard on the radio the words, "I won't let the sun go down on me!" I was particularly drawn to the words, "I won't." In other words, the Lord was saying, "Anita, you have a responsibility here, now, to take what is yours by using your authority." The next day, November 29, was my team intercession. I shared all of the previous week's occurrences with everyone, and we all collectively understood it was time to command the sun to stand still. So, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, we appropriated this in intercession and felt in our spirits that it was indeed done. The Almond Tree Blossoming – a Sign of Breakthrough On December 1, I ask the Lord early in the morning, "Father, can You please confirm that indeed there was a shift, and that we fully got the breakthrough over delay?" Forgetting I had prayed this prayer in the early hours of the morning, as I was later standing in worship during Sunday service, I went into a vision. In the vision I saw a blossoming branch with gorgeous pink flowers. I was reminded of Jeremiah 1:11-12 (AMPC): "Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter]. Then said the Lord to me, you have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it." One commentary on this passage on Biblehub.com explains the meaning of the almond tree as the "watcher tree that hastens to awake out of its wintery sleep, and thus expresses the divine haste which would not cause delay to the fulfillment of its gracious promise, but would, as it were, make it bud and blossom, and bear fruit." WOW! This was the answer to the prayer I prayed in the early hours of the morning on December 1. The Lord said that the almond tree blossoming signifies NO MORE DELAY. The word of the Lord is coming to fulfillment in DIVINE HASTE (which is the opposite to delay), and will bear much fruit! We have broken through! 666 has now been turned to 999! Get ready to shout, shout, shout! For the Lord has given you the city (Joshua 6:16)!

God Says, "Will You Trust Me?" Kathy DeGraw December 17, 2019 "Trust Me" is what I am hearing in the spiritual realm in this season. As I’ve been spending time resting in the Spirit of the Lord, I hear Him say, “Trust Me.” I recently polled my Facebook friends on what they were hearing from the Lord currently, and it was overwhelming the word - “Trust.” I love it when God sends forth a prophetic word and confirms it through His people throughout the earth.
God wants you to trust Him. Specifically, He is saying to trust Him for 2020. Many of you have plans and purposes, dreams, and destinies to pursue and the Father is clearly saying, “Trust Me.” God does not want you to run ahead of His plan, and He does not want you to go into 2020 with anxiety or worrying about how things will unfold. We can take authority in things, and when we do, it might be over a situation that lasts for a while or has an immediate need. However, when we walk in dominion, we are owning the spiritual climate in which we walk and are exuding our authority at all times. God desires us not to simply trust Him for the moment, but to walk in a perpetual place of trust, a constant flow of assurance and comfort in trusting Him. Faith and trust are interchangeable. We can walk in faith, or we can live in faith. We can walk in trust for our particular situation, or we can live in trust. Years ago, when I had to get on a cruise ship in the middle of a category 4 hurricane to preach the Gospel and evangelize, God said to me, “Kathy, will you trust Me.” I replied, “Lord, I’ll trust you to the ends of the earth.” Getting on that cruise ship changed my life, even though we had to outrun the hurricane, end our cruise early, and heard the alarms going off as we landed, I never feared but walked in trust. God is saying to us, to you, His people, "Will you trust Me for your ministry, your business, your finances, your health, and your family? Will you trust Me when you can’t see the other side? Will you trust Me to release what I want to be released in your life instead of figuring out how to make it all happen?" "Trust." It is a difficult word. As Believers, we experience challenges when choosing to live by it. However, it is a powerful word and one that brings great freedom. When we begin to trust Him, we truly begin to walk in faith.

Christmas Is Coming Early This Year Mary Dorian December 13, 2019 One night, before falling asleep, I heard the Lord say, "Christmas is coming early this year!" I was so surprised to hear this from the Lord, and I waited with expectant joy to hear more about what He could mean. He then said, "Tell My people to allow their expectancy to rise, just like they did when they were children waiting for Christmas to come; counting the days with hopeful expectation. "This year, those things that they have been waiting for and diligently praying for are going to arrive and be manifested even sooner and quicker than Christmas. I have heard their cries and felt their frustration as they have wondered if they would ever see circumstances and loved ones healed and changed, or families coming together and financial breakthroughs manifesting. They've wondered if they would see deliverance for their children from addictions and relationships healed." There will be so many answers to prayer as we expect to experience something good that we have been waiting for. In Jeremiah 33:3 MSG it says, "Call to Me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and wonderful things that you could never figure out on your own." Then in verse 11 it says, "But the time is coming when you're going to hear laughter and celebration, marriage festivities, people exclaiming, 'Thank God-of-the-Angel-Armies. He's so good! His love never quits'...I'll restore everything that was lost in this land. I'll make everything as good as new. I, God, say so." Decade of Revelation In this new Hebrew year of 5780, we have been told to "Open wide our mouths, so the Lord will fill them." The next decade, 2020, will be one of marvelous and brilliant revelation. The wilderness time is over. No more dry bones in the desert. This decade will be a season of both oil and wine. Oil is symbolic of the anointing of the Holy Spirit and supernatural energy and power. Wine is symbolic of joy and intimate love with the Bridegroom. The Spirit says, "I am sending forth, in My name, a prophetic people who will declare the future. They will be both intentional and courageous. They will see, from My perspective, the changes, the seasons, and the new things that are to come. The rhema word that they speak will be sharper than a double-edged sword. All levels of influence will be touched by these declarations – especially Hollywood. and these prophetic words will not return to Me until they accomplish everything I have sent them to do." The Presence of God The Lord does not look at time they way we do. We measure time by hours, days weeks, months and years. So, when speaking to me of the coming new year, I got the impression that the Lord was speaking of the decade from 2020 to 2030. During this next decade, I believe that the tangible presence of the Father will be felt in extraordinary ways in churches across our nation and the world, but also in some very unlikely places. God visited the earth through Jesus, who was Emmanuel, God with Us, and now He will be experienced in some amazing and supernatural ways in this new decade. His glory, the essence of His deep love, will be felt by so many people. The world is groaning and waiting to know Him and He will move in marvelous and beautiful ways. The glory of God and His presence will touch the current generation of young people, especially those in the great colleges and universities across our nation. I see millions with their hands raised, gathered in the quads, auditoriums, classrooms, and all over the campuses, praising and worshiping the Lord. I see them literally holding crosses and the Word of God as if they were treasures, saying, "This is what we have been looking for; to Know God and to receive Christ!" Through them, so many lives will be changed. A Few More Things Habakkuk 2:14 says, "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." The earth is mostly made up of water. There are still many mysteries that are waiting to be revealed in the oceans and seas. Scientists will find many discoveries in the waters that will benefit mankind in this new decade. Things like cures for illnesses, new ways of growing things, new materials for making things and the harvest of many natural resources and gems. There is so much to learn and so many treasures to draw from, even scientific info about light and longevity. Cancer will be dealt with in new ways in this new generation. There will be success in treating cancer once and for all, without it returning. I believe the Church will lead the way in this because healing and miracles will be seen across our nation. Oh, what wonderful things we will see and do for the Kingdom. The nation of North Korea will come to life. Its people will awaken and rise up and cast off all restraints. Other nations will do the same. Nations that were previously closed will open to receive the Gospel, and some will be won to Christ in one day. There is so much more: The Body of Christ will not just raise up in this decade (all of its members fully awake) but they will RISE UP! The Body of Christ will be secure in the experience of being seated with Christ and resurrection power will flow. Oh, yes, it will flow through you and me. I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know Him through your deepening intimacy with Him. I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light until you experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling – that is the wealth of God's glorious inheritance that He finds in us, His holy ones! "I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God's power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power..."

It’s Not Going to Look Like You Expect... It’s Going to Be Better! Christy Johnston December 11, 2019 I have been sensing from the Holy Spirit that the next few weeks carry strategic keys that will unlock surprising doors of destiny that you will open and walk through in 2020. Keep your eyes open for these keys, for I heard the Holy Spirit say that they will come in dreams, visions and unexpected words in the next few weeks- even from unsuspecting passers by. Listen attentively to His voice when He speaks and then write down what He shows you, for they are keys that will unlock these doors of destiny in the coming year. You will need to have a record of them for a reason.
In a vision I saw an hourglass running out of sand and the last speck of sand that fell through aligned with the next six weeks. Throughout December and at the beginning of January, I believe there are significant answers awaiting many who have been waiting endlessly for things to shift in order for them to move forward. This season is coming to a close, the winds of heaven are blowing in the new direction for what the Father is about to pour out upon your life and across the earth. In what a dear friend of mine called ‘the global migration of the church,’ God has been strategically aligning His people into physical moves, as well as spiritual ones. For some, they have crossed over into their transition, but for others, they are still awaiting their moment to move. I hear the Father saying, “you haven’t been forgotten. Hold on, you are moving out of the old, it’s time to embrace the new. I am releasing strategy keys to you over the coming days and weeks. Suddenly, the answer will come. Suddenly, you will cross into what I have promised. But it won’t look like what you expected, it will be better.” I feel it is important to keep hearts open to last minute and unexpected changes of plans. I see blueprints of destiny being dropped into laps that were not the plans you had been expecting… but they far outweighed the initial designs. I keep hearing in my spirit, “turn-key” surprises. Blueprints that you didn’t plan for, that you thought you would have to work hard for, but the Lord is saying, this year has been a year of preparation for what’s to come. You won’t have to start all over again like you thought, you will walk into that which has been fully prepared for you ahead of time. I keep hearing the questions, “won’t I have to plough the soil afresh?” I hear the Lord saying to you… “I have ploughed the soil for you ahead of time, what you have toiled long and hard for in the past season, you are going to reap in sudden harvest in the next.” Like a turn-key home that has every provision ready and waiting, there are doors of provision, destiny, influence and strategy that you are about to walk into. Simply keep on the path of faithfulness that you are walking, do not give up, lose sight or lose hope. Listen for the keys of strategy that the Lord is going to release to you in the coming weeks, and then when He says “go!” Follow! This next season is not going to look like you imagined, it’s going to be better.

Net-Breaking Harvest Is Here Anita Alexander December 9, 2019 It's Time!
It's time for visions and mandates to be birthed. It's time for dreams to be realized! It's the APPOINTED TIME. The Lord spoke to me and said, "Though you think it tarries, wait!" In other words, it is not tarrying – your vision and your dream has an appointed time! Don't give up on it though it is lingering. Sometimes other things need to line up for your dream to birth in the right environment. Don't walk away from it. IT WILL SURELY COME TO PASS and IT WILL NOT DELAY. You haven't come this far to cave now! Are you weary? Yes – BUT GOD! Net-Breaking Harvest I felt the Lord take me to Luke 5, the story where the disciples were toiling, fishing all night and catching NOTHING. Jesus came to them in the morning when they were exhausted and told them to throw the net out one more time. Then they caught a net-breaking hall of fish! Sometimes when we feel our weakest, frustrated and weary in heart because NOTHING is happening, the Lord comes to us and whispers, "Just one more time." Oh the resolve that is needed to surrender to that word! It can feel almost impossible! The disciples must have thought, "Do You know how much energy is required to throw this net out again?" "And Simon answered, 'Master, we toiled all night and took nothing...!'" (Luke 5:5). In other words, "Don't you know there aren't any fish down there?" But in response Simon said, "OK, Lord, at Your WORD" (paraphrased). This was trust, it was a declaration of surrender. Jesus, knowing He was going to call them to follow Him, wanted to demonstrate to them that He would never fail in His command, His power would always back up His instruction. Simon yielded to His command and thus it was so. The Head Has Crowned I feel like the Lord gave me a picture the other day of child birth in relation to birthing our visions. There is a stage at the end of the labor that is called "transition"; it is when the baby's head crowns. In other words, it is the moment that the baby becomes visible. This stage is where a lot of women feel like they can't go on anymore. It's very intense and it's a stage where some women lose faculties of awareness. They may say things they normally wouldn't say, they may feel like they can't go on, etc. But this is actually the breakthrough stage, because when the baby's head has crowned it signifies it's nearly over with just a few pushes through the contractions. I felt like the Lord was showing me this analogy in correlation to those who have come full term and have been in the birthing stage for some time now. I felt Him say that we are at the "crowning stage." For some in this phase, you may feel like you are up and down – normal one day, then under attack, hopeless and despairing the next, but you have actually been going through contractions. I've felt that recently the turmoil and turbulence have been extra intense. The contractions are coming closer together which means you are closer than ever to your breakthrough. I heard the Lord say, "The head has crowned!" I felt He meant that going through these recent weeks, where the intensity has increased to the point that you feel like you will explode, is where the vision goes from being unseen to being seen. In the areas where you have labored all night and felt like you've seen nothing, now is the time where they will begin to bud in visible forms. The head has crowned! Now is not the time to stop. Throw the net out one more time. Keep pushing because before you know it, you will have your vision in your arms. And the joy on the other side of the travail will wash all the pain of labor away! The Vision Will Not Lie – Vindication in the Reaping In Habakkuk 2:3 it says, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie..." I believe the Lord wants to encourage many of you who have been persecuted for the dreams you have carried because they haven't been understood by those around you. It has cost you greatly to carry and bring to full term what God has put inside of you. Many a time the enemy has come to tempt you to abort. At different times, others, who don't comprehend the Kingdom you carry in your heart, have spoken into your life and counseled you to abort. But the Lord says that when you give birth to this mandate, this vision, it will have a voice itself, and that voice will be a voice of vindication. It will not lie, it cannot deceive, and it will speak this truth: your faith in God has been legitimate, tested and tried, and this promise and mandate is now established. It cannot be uprooted, because it is born of God and it overcomes the world; it was carried and birthed in faith. Noah suffered great scorn and persecution, but when the rains came, his vision spoke; it did not lie, it told the truth of that which was previously only a voice in his heart. It was the fulfillment of the vision that spoke itself to those who didn't have eyes to see and ears to hear. It no longer needed Noah to voice it, the rain clouds and the rain were the voice. The manifestation of your promise in the natural testifies of God. It speaks and declares, and there will be great compensation of reward as you hold on to your fearless confidence and stand firm on your threshold. Go with it, push through the final stages of these contractions with the joy set before you. See the promise in your arms, giving glory to God!

You Are One Stone's Throw Away Victoria Boyson December 4, 2019 Earlier this year, I shared a vision of the fire of the enemy coming on the warriors of God. In that vision, the warriors were covered in black charcoal because of the fire they'd endured. Understandably, I think most people were hoping I was wrong - me too! Now, months later, the fire, though shocking, treacherous, jarring, and even stupefying, is subduing. And, coming out of it, I hear the Father saying: "You are one stone's throw away from VICTORY!" Remember David? When he met Goliath, it was just another day like any other and yet, that day would be different for him. At that point, nothing had changed in his life except for receiving the anointing from God to be king. He had nothing else going for him. He wasn't big, well known or even the favorite of his family. He was a shepherd and nothing much else was expected from him. David was ordinary, common by man's standards. The anointing to be king hadn't changed his situation except it did seem to put a big target on his back and his brothers were obviously jealous. While man chose him to watch the sheep and carry food to his brothers, God chose to make him a deliverer! And so it happened that on that very ordinary day, the anointing of God met with the arrogance of man and only one man was standing when it was all over. Father God is saying to you: You feel hidden and forgotten. You have nothing going for you EXCEPT ME! I have chosen you for a purpose that will turn heads and leave jaws dropping. My child, you are ONE STONE'S THROW AWAY from your life changing forever! A fire like none other has come against you, but you've remained steadfast in your love and trust for the Father and all the while He has watched over you and fought for you. Though the fire has been intense, the presence of God has been pervasive, invasive and breathtaking. Sometimes, He's even carried you through Himself, but you are nearly there. Just one push and your enemy's oppression will give way to the new you that has been hidden under the ashes of the enemy's assault. You will stand VICTORIOUS in complete submission to your heavenly Father and thus more powerful than any earthly force could reckon with. The fire has not destroyed you! No! The enemy's attacks against you have emboldened you! They have turned your ashes into IRON! No one else could have turned what the enemy meant for your destruction into the construction of a KING! The calling on your life has made you a target. Indeed, the enemy is intensely jealous of the LOVE the Father has for you and he hates you for having what he can never have. Yet, in the darkness of the night you've endured the enemy's hatred and now the sunrise on your trial has nearly dawned. Awakening now, you realize that all along it was only the pruning of the Lord you've endured and all the enemy has thrown at you has worked to make you an intense and glory-filled warrior of the most-high God. You went to sleep a child and awoke a mighty, fearless warrior experienced in VICTORY! God has proven once again that He is the superior power and the darkness is dispelled by the greatness of His light! Goliath has fallen and you are the one with the sling in your hand. You thought you were only a child, simply trusting the Father who loves you, and yet you see a vile, once seething giant lying headless at your feet. Everyone is looking at you with their eyes wide and jaws dropped. Not expecting much from you, they had no idea you had it in you, but they were not there when you killed the lion and the bear. They were not there when your heavenly Father told you that you were chosen and loved by Him. They were not there when He poured His power into you and called you RULER OF NATIONS! A Table for You! Satan can't stand to watch our faith in God manifest into our breakthrough. He sees it as a great failure. He is determined to strike at the heart of our belief and pour out discouragement. Disillusioned by the lies of the enemy, we tend to lose faith in Him and soon feel crushed under the weight of earth's reality. Many give lip service to TRUSTING GOD, but it's in the darkest moments that true faith is formed. The Word of God tells us our faith will be tested, so why are we surprised when it is? A faith that is built on the manifestation of the supernatural cannot always be trusted, but a faith that is built on a loving relationship of trust is unstoppable. When being in God's will matters more to you than getting everything your way, you have a true relationship with Him. When you've tried everything you know to do and have nothing to hope in except the realization that your heavenly Father loves you, then you've discovered the key to everlasting JOY! When your love for Him matters more than your own safety, you're unstoppable! You may be thrown into the fire alone, but you won't walk out on your own! Self-will will frighten us into the arms of our enemy, but the furnace of affliction will turn our ashes into a rod of IRON, a weapon of mass destruction to our enemies. Nebuchadnezzer was furious with the three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, when they refused to bow down to his false God (Daniel 3), but it was their TRUST in God and LOVE for Him that made it impossible for them to consider saving their own lives at the risk of turning from Him. It wasn't courage or gallantry that held them fast, but a relationship of love that made their faith unbreakable. God's love is UNFAILING! When you are loved like that, it matters more than safety or comfort. If we would just TRUST HIM, He would drive back our enemies, break through the chains of despair and make a wild display of His love for us in the presence of our haters! The enemy raises up people willing to hate us and uses them as weapons to break us, yet, God says, "NO!" He turns the enemy's weapons into an audience and puts on a SHOW OF HIS LOVE FOR YOU! He will make them watch while HE PREPARES A TABLE FOR YOU! (Psalm 23:5) He will DISPLAY HIS LOVE for you and make them watch! For, it was their attacks against you that made you the fearless warrior you've become. It was, indeed, the fire of their harassment that the Father used to prepare you for the INTENSE BLESSINGS He's been waiting to bestow on you. For, only a good father understands the pressures you will face as you walk in what's ahead for you. Indeed, would it be a Father's love to allow you to proceed to the calling and purpose awaiting you without proper preparation? He loves you, He doesn't want to see you crushed by the pressures blessings can bring! Unfailing Love David was victorious because he focused on God's love for him. It was in the hiddeness of the fields he was persuaded by LOVE to understand his God well. When David went up against Goliath, he was relying on God's unfailing love to give him success over his enemy. Relying on the Father's love gave him an overwhelming victory, much easier, dramatic and miraculous than any victory David would have had by relying on his own strength and talent. Often, Scripture equates God's unfailing love with salvation. When we think of salvation, we think of our born-again experience. But those writing Scripture would not have been thinking that. Indeed, their idea of salvation would be salvation from their earthly circumstances. King David had many enemies who wanted to destroy him, so when David equates unfailing love with salvation, he is counting on the love of God to save him from his enemies. And rightly so, for David was saved from his enemies. God made him victorious over and over. Throughout his life, God's love never failed, truly, it was UNFAILING! So, he said, "Lord, give me your unfailing love, the salvation that you promised me." (Psalm 119:41) The Stone in Your Hand You were created to love; it is your function. You are worthy of love, not because you've done something to make you worthy, but because it is what He created you for. If your earthly father says you are not loveable, remember that your Creator was your Father first and He created you to be loved!!! You are not worthy of love because you are perfect! You are not worthy of love because you are good-looking! You are not worthy of love because you are brilliant! You are worthy of love because GOD MADE YOU! And He made you to be loved BY HIM and that makes you extraordinary! You are not difficult to love, because God loved you from the first. If God loves you, then YOU ARE LOVED! Even if your father and mother hate you, God will love you completely (Psalm 27:10). If you are broken by life, God loves you unfailingly! His love refuses to stop! His love refuses to fail! When the enemy throws your failures up in your face, when he's relentless with his accusations, you remind Him that in spite of it all, GOD LOVES YOU!! Remind him that nothing will EVER separate you from God's love, "NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NEITHER ANGELS NOR DEMONS, NEITHER OUR FEARS FOR TODAY NOR OUR WORRIES ABOUT TOMORROW - NOT EVEN THE POWERS OF HELL CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE. NO POWER IN THE SKY ABOVE OR IN THE EARTH BELOW - INDEED, NOTHING IN ALL CREATION WILL EVER BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS REVEALED IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD!" Romans 8:38-39 You are VICTORIOUS! You have what you need for victory! You have the LOVE of the FATHER and, like a stone in your hand, it doesn't look significant, but it is! It is your weapon of mass destruction to annihilate your enemy and fell the giant standing in your way. And you are just one stone's throw away from breakthrough - throw the stone and watch Goliath fall!

Jo Ellen Stevens December 3, 2019 An interesting thing happened to me this past Sunday that hasn't happened to me in a while but is a true working of the Holy Spirit. Many of you saw my post this week about the dream I had about going into this church that looked like The Church Alive in Mason Ohio. In the dream when I went in the people were singing songs but the presence had not as of yet fell. So when i went in I stepped in the middle of the seats in the middle of the room and got down on my knees and began to sing the Bethel song by Jenn Johnson "I Love Your Presence" acapella. Suddenly the people began to sing it with me and the presence of God came into that sanctuary.
Now when I got up I wrote about this dream and posted the song. If I am not speaking somewhere or I don't get to go to church on Sunday, I always watch The Church Alive via live-stream but I even missed that live this past Sunday so when I posted about this dream Pastor Donna Kelly commented on the post that this had actually happened in their church service. She said that about the middle of the worship service that they had begun to sing this same song and that the presence became very thick in there! Whewwww, now I am not sure if because I missed that service that God allowed me to see it and experience it in this dream or that I was interceding for it but I know this. I saw it... 1 Corinthians 5:3-4 (AMPC) "As for my attitude, though I am absent from you in body, I am present in spirit, and I have already decided and passed judgment, as if actually present, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, on the man who has committed such a deed. When you and my own spirit are met together with the power of our Lord Jesus," It is obvious by this scripture that Paul is saying that he was meeting with them in the Spirit because he says that he is absent from them in his body. I truly believe that if we have ever told God to use us that he will if he has our permission. Now I know to some this seems a bit crazy but there is no distance or time in the Spirit, why? Because it is the eternal realm and God can take us places in the Spirit even though we are still somewhere else in our dreams or in a vision etc... Since 2020 is the year of seeing and speaking forth what we have seen, God is going to begin to SHOW US THINGS TO COME in an even greater dimension and for some in dimensions that we have never known! 2020 is a year of the 2020 vision as you have already heard many say. God does everything as it is needed in the earth and right now as darkness is trying to cover the earth WE NEED TO HAVE FORESIGHT MORE THAN EVER! I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS SHOWN ME THREE THINGS THROUGH THIS DREAM ENCOUNTER 1. First, we are not going to have to depend on natural means to go and do what we are called to do! God like in my dream can cause us to be places that we could not get to in the natural and allow our Spirit to go where we need to go or at least see it in the Spirit . I am not sure what my singing that song in that service had to do with the presence falling there but I don't believe that God would have went to the trouble of showing me that and then showing me that it happened, had he not of wanted me to know this. 2. In the dream He had me singing about loving the presence and loving Jesus then it happened in the actual service that day. Last night after all of this happened, i was watching a video of Ryan LeStrange talking about 2020 and he said that we must be presence driven in this year and that God was looking for a church that is presence driven. It literally confirmed what I had felt and seen in this dream. We have to fall in love with Jesus again in this next year of 2020 and if we will RETURN TO OUR FIRST LOVE THEN WE WILL HAVE THE PRESENCE AND WE WILL BEGIN TO HAVE 2020 VISION BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE HIS HEART AND HIS EYES TO SEE! 3. I believe through this dream that God is saying that we will begin to have the book of Acts type encounters in the Spirit.out of necessity to get to the places and people that we are to get to Phillip, because of the need to preach to the Eunuch in Acts chapter 8 went and preached to him in his chariot and when he was finished, the Bible says that he was caught away in the Spirit and the Eunuch saw him no more! Acts 8:39 (AMPC) "And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord [suddenly] caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing." Now folks this is not the Old Testament, this is what type of miraculous things happened when God was birthing the church! This was a literal translation. So how much more do you suppose that God is going to do these kinds of things in these last days out of a necessity to bring us into these end times and to show the world what he can do through His people! I HEAR THE LORD SAYING Get ready my Lovers to begin to move out in 2020 with the insight that you will receive from me from your intimate encounters with me! As you seek me first and fall in love with me more intimately, you will begin to have 2020 vision and I will give you foresight and insight into the deeper things! You have cried out for the things that you are about to see take place and now I will bring these things into being! There are many whose eyes are closed and are closing because they can not see for the religious traditions have blinded them and yes they will be even more blind in these days ahead if they do not repent of their dead works, BUT BLESSED ARE YOUR EYES FOR THEY WILL SEE EVEN MORE, because to whom much is given will be given even more and to those who do not see will be taken away even that which they have! The Divide will be even greater between the two but you will shine in this darkness and YOU WILL SEE TO A GREATER DEGREE THAN EVER BEFORE! Get ready for many encounters for this year is about to be the ride of your life!!
