PROPHETIC TIMELINE

4/4: THE GATE OF GLORY & THE PRIESTHOOD RESTORED

I woke up from a dream on 4/1 about "American Idol." In the dream, one of the judges disqualified me from participating in the competition because the "opinions of the people" had a negative effect on the sound of my voice. I knew I needed to find the sound I was born for, but it didn’t fit within the framework of competition, and the only way to discover this sound was coming out from under my nation's idol of desiring to be first and praised in the eyes of men.

I woke up from a dream on 4/1 about "American Idol." In the dream, one of the judges disqualified me from participating in the competition because the "opinions of the people" had a negative effect on the sound of my voice. I knew I needed to find the sound I was born for, but it didn’t fit within the framework of competition, and the only way to discover this sound was coming out from under my nation's idol of desiring to be first and praised in the eyes of men. There was a death to the opinions of man required in order to be filled with the pure sound of Heaven’s Glory. I could not offer a pure sacrifice of worship in the presence of idols.

The Lord has been highlighting the number 4 to speak to me for the past year (go back and revisit the prophetic timeline for March-April 2024). The number 4 in Hebrew is tied to the fourth letter in the alphabet, "dalet" which is a pictograph of a gate or door. Ezekiel 44 opens with the prophet being brought before the temple of the Lord and led around its perimeter by the Spirit. He was led to the East Gate, which remains closed to all except for the "Prince" who enters through a vestibule to commune in the presence of God. Ezekiel is then led to the entrance of the north facing gate, and the fear of the Lord overcomes Him as the glory of the Lord fills the temple. He falls down on His face in reverence. 

"Then the man brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the Lord filling the temple of the Lord, and I fell facedown." Ezekiel 44:4

The chapter continues as the messenger of the Lord gives the prophet an instruction to divide and  restore the priesthood and cleanse the temple of idols that were brought in by those who previously guarded the gates of the Lord’s sanctuary. Those priests who profaned the name of the Lord by bringing their idols into His Temple and causing the people to stumble would bear the consequences of their sin and, while God would allow them to remain in the temple, they would no longer have access to the most holy place to minister in His Presence. They would be relegated to service in the outer courts and instead of being granted deliverance, they would bear the weight of their iniquity. 

Ezekiel was to raise up a new priesthood, musicians, craftsmen, judges, guardians and gatekeepers who minister to the Lord in purity. The standard had to be raised and restored.

"They are to teach my people the difference between the holy and the common and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean." Ezekiel 44:23

Alongside of this theme of 4s, I have seen a battle raging between two fires. One fire is orange and one is blue. The Lord has been revealing that wherever this orange flame is at work, falsehood is present. Wherever the blue fire is present, it sweeps down like a wave and consumes whatever it covers. This is the pure fire of God. It comes to judge, and to heal, to purge and to protect.

The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of fire. Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy. Isaiah 4:4-5

We are in a convergence of time, a supernatural moment of fulfillment. I recently went back and looked at several significant dreams I've held onto for years in intercession, and I know this is also true of many in my community, that we are in real time watching marking dreams unfold before our eyes. These dreams are not only being brought to fulfillment, they are bringing alignment and acceleration. Is this happening for you too? What dreams are playing out in your life right now? Be attentive to what, and who, is at work. We must find ourselves postured in humility for what comes next.

I see three battles at play right now— those of sounds, fires, and gates. These battles have been ongoing for ages, but we’ve reached a tipping point.

We are in a Mount Carmel moment. There is a face off between falsehood and truth, where the masks come off and we see what’s really real expose the powerlessness of the counterfeit. There will begin to be a public witness where the shouts of man’s ambition and fleshly passions meet the fire of God’s all consuming Glory. And the drought is about to break, a breaking in of glory so overwhelming that no man can contain it, name it or claim it.

Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.

At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened." So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed. Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention. 1 Kings 18:26-29

There is a war for worship. 
There is a war of fires.
There is a war at the gates.
And the struggle for territory and possession is over this one thing.
The heart.

Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Psalm 4:4

If the enemy can infiltrate and pollute your worship, he has your heart.

If he can tempt you with his fire, he has your heart.

If he finds no Prince in your gates, he has your heart.

But there is a sound that nullifies the noise of his taunts, and it is the sound of travailing intercession that births life.

There is a fire that drives out falsehood and deceit, it is the blue flame of Holy Spirit possessed prayer.

There is a Prince who stands at your gates, and He ever lives to make intercession.

The time has never been greater, the stakes never more high than they are now to repair the altar of our hearts and restore the priesthood that is made up of living stones. Dig into the trenches of your soul as deep as you can and be baptized with the Water of the Living Word. Be delivered from the assignment of death that has been chasing and tormenting you for years. Offer all of yourself as a living sacrifice to be fully possessed. Leave no place in your heart untouched or unavailable. The battle is turning at the gates, His Glory is coming and it requires a pure offering. He will have His people. He will have our hearts. His fire is about to fall.

Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me." They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down. Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, "Your name shall be Israel." With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed. He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood. Do it again," he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time. The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: 

"Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.  Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."

Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!"

Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there. And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked.

"There is nothing there," he said. Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."

The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea."

1 Kings 18:30-44

LIGHT & LOVE WILL LEAD THE WAY

I have been learning quite a lot about light and love lately. It turns out the two cannot be separated.

The Lord has been exposing (with His flashlight of Truth) every remaining particle of hatred and entitlement stuck in the crevices of my heart.

My prayer has been simple, “Let me only hear what is True. Let me only see what is Light. Help me to love what You love, and hate what You hate.”

1 John 1:5-10 

And this is the message which we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him — none!

If we claim to have fellowship with him while we are walking in the darkness, we are lying and not living out the truth. But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of his Son Yeshua purifies us from all sin.

If we claim not to have sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.

If we claim we have not been sinning, we are making him out to be a liar, and his Word is not in us.

1 John 2:9-11

Anyone who claims to be in this light while hating his brother is still in the dark. The person who keeps loving his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him that could make him trip. But the person who hates his brother is in the dark — yes, he is walking in the dark, and he doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

I have been meditating on 1 John for a while now, partially because it was teed up in my reading through the New Testament, but I haven’t been able to move on after listening to this sermon recently given by Ben Fitzgerald. It’s a powerful message on finding freedom by living in the light as a disciple of Christ. Please listen to it.

I have been learning quite a lot about light and love lately. It turns out the two cannot be separated.

The Lord has been exposing (with His flashlight of Truth) every remaining particle of hatred and entitlement stuck in the crevices of my heart.

My prayer has been simple, “Let me only hear what is True. Let me only see what is Light. Help me to love what You love, and hate what You hate.”

This single petition is rapidly reshaping my reality. It is causing me to take my eyes off of the brokenness, dysfunction and darkness of the systems and institutions of The Church and back onto the heart of His Bride. I have been recaptured by the Light of Love.

This seems elementary, wouldn’t you say? Oh, but how far we’ve drifted from this eternal truth.

I was sitting in a church service this past Sunday and the preacher took a step back from the pulpit during his message and asked a question.

He asked, “What is God’s ultimate value?”

I wasn’t even trying to answer the question, but the first word that jumped up into my head was, “HOLINESS!”

The crowd fell silent, and he responds. “Love.”

Does God value holiness? Of course, He is holy. But this proved to be an instance where I had taken an attribute of His Character that He has been graciously revealing is deficient in His Bride and misappropriating it as the central and core message of Truth. I had subtly created an imbalance of truths in my heart, placing a higher value on holiness over love, when it was meant that holiness is to be attained through love. This created a distorted perspective of the subject of my focus, overemphasizing and broad stroking the need for purity in The Church without looking through the right lens.

The Lord then told me,
“Take your eyes off of the system, and put them back onto My people.”

And last night, He gave me a dream.

In the dream, a girl who I used to disciple sat with me and asked me a question. She said, “how do I know if I am in the right church?” I looked at her with deep compassion, sensing her confusion and desperation in a time where there has been so much shifting, sifting and shaking in The Church. I could tell she was weary. I answered her, “Do the people around you pull darkness out of you, or do they draw out light? That is how you know.”

Remember 1 John? The person who loves his brother walks in the light, remains in the light, and in Light finds true fellowship. The one who hates his brother is blind and walks in darkness, leading others further into deception. Take your eyes off of the system and the structure, and put them back onto the people. This is of true importance. Are you surrounded by those who walk in the darkness of hate towards their Kingdom family, or those illuminated by Love? This is the measuring stick of His Church.

And here is a prophetic perspective I would like to lay before you today. To the one who has ears, let them hear.

We are in a period of re-entry and reintegration.

Those who were delivered by the hand of the Lord from systems, institutions and man made structures had to be set apart for a time.
You had to be made holy, led through a process of refinement.
You had to be trained in Truth, purified by fire, and delivered from darkness.

But you weren’t just separated to be delivered from deception and falsehood.
You were being delivered into Light.
He liberated you into Love. And now He’s leading you back.

He is taking you back, in Love, with Love. You are no longer just a voice of truth crying out in the wilderness, you are a holy vessel of deliverance carrying the message of True Love— raw, unfiltered, uncompromising; tenderized, compassionate, pure.

He set you apart to make you into a disciple of Light. And now you are to lead His Bride back into Love.

May we have ears to hear only that which is true.
May we have eyes to see only that which is Light.
Teach us to love what You love, and hate what You hate.

2025: REVELATION. REPENTANCE. REFORMATION.

I had a dream on December 29th, 2024 where I was in the midst of a local gathering of Christians. The formal service had ended and we were all collectively reciting and meditating on Romans 3:23 over and over...

I had a dream on December 29th, 2024 where I was in the midst of a local gathering of Christians. The formal service had ended and we were all collectively reciting and meditating on Romans 3:23 over and over...

“For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. WE have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God! WE ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God!”

As the collective cry grew louder and more voices engaged in repeating this familiar passage, a spark striking hearts and spreading flame, the anointing in the room became thick and palpable, and tears took over as what was once a dry and dull drum transformed into revelatory and experiential knowledge cloaked in holy fear. Dream end.

I heard the Lord saying over this year,

“I am awakening My Bride to embody the revelation of Romans 3:23 in 2025. True, heartfelt, collective Repentance will pave the way for a Reformation Age to be birthed in and stewarded by Regions. For I am moving out of and beyond intangible spheres of influence and breathing life back into lands and territories where My People have embraced refinement and taken responsibility for the condition of their own hearts.”

“I am raising up local reformers. No longer must you look to the well followed influencers of media or giants of mega ministries to wield the hammer of reformation. I am placing tools in the hands of those I have positioned in neighborhoods, cities, and communities to uproot, tear down, build and establish right where their feet are planted. No longer will I accept excuses of disqualification or self-justification abdicating the keys of authority I have given to those who I have positioned at the Door of Regions. I must have Regional Rooms prepared for what comes next.”

“Prepare the Rooms, for as I have heard the laboring and travailing cries of my repentant reformers in the delivery rooms of Regions, I will birth the greatest global prayer movement this generation has ever seen.”

NOVEMBER & THE DAYS OF DEMARCATION

I had a dream on October 16th, and in the dream I saw an announcement that was written and signed by Jesus. This announcement pointed to a specific date where a line of demarcation would be drawn and the world would enter a period of tribulation followed by reclamation.

We are entering the days of demarcation and open Heavens.

I had a dream on October 16th, and in the dream I saw an announcement that was written and signed by Jesus. This announcement pointed to a specific date where a line of demarcation would be drawn and the world would enter a period of tribulation followed by reclamation. Jesus was making it known that He was the one authoring and sealing what was to come in His Name, and forewarning those who read and heeded this message that everything was about to change. There would be "many endings" followed by an invitation into ascension.

He took me to Revelation 5, and as I read I saw a vision of the Lamb standing to His feet in real time, taking a scroll, breaking the seal and unrolling it. The vision ended as He opened His mouth to speak what was written on the scroll. I knew that inside was a will, to be executed upon the proclamation of its contents by the Lord.

Through this dream, along with the vision the Lord was communicating a clear and definitive message. The world, as we now know it, is coming to an end, and the landscape of the nations is about to drastically change. This statement is not intended to implant fear nor should we adopt a high stakes mentality leading to impulsive decision making. We are to remain positioned firmly seated in Christ and in His authority, continuing to submit to Him in thoughtful obedience as certain events play out on the world stage. I am not making predictions of any kind regarding how these changes will come, but the Lord has revealed a "date of demarcation" when the world that we know will enter unfamiliar territory by HIS authorization. Many will attempt to credit the enemy for what unfolds, but hear now that it will come from the sovereign hand of the Lord and His Sevenfold Spirit moving through the earth. We are currently in the middle of a 40 day grace period that began on Atonement Day, 10/12/2024 and ends on the first day of the last 40 days of the year on the Gregorian calendar.

The date of demarcation is 11/21/2024.  

This date holds spiritual significance that could manifest in various physical signs and wonders across the nations. It is a date we must keep on our radar and seek the Lord personally for His Wisdom and Revelation. The comfort of familiarity as we know it is passing away and a new and unknown reality is unfolding through the end of this year heading into January.

I hear the Lord saying "Prepare for 40 days of rain" and Isaiah 24:18 is ringing in the spirit—
"The floodgates of the heavens are opened, the foundations of the earth shake." 

This time period will hold great significance for the United States in particular as we begin to see the knowledge of the glory of the Lord fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. (Habakkuk 2:14) His Knowledge will be poured out and His Glory clearly understood as floods of the Fear of the Lord are being unleashed right now into regions and atmospheres, preparing the way. It will not look like what we as the Church have imagined in our minds or defined as "glory." Do not be afraid. The purpose will be to bring destruction to certain paradigms and movements that have fed two dimensional, superficial illusions of His manifested Glory, those that have muddied the pure stream where His Presence flows. The Sevenfold Spirit of the Lord is sovereignly grabbing the attention of the world to reveal the Kingly and Priestly authority of His Son through His purified bride, the likes of which we have not yet seen. This means dismantling any structure, stronghold of thought and altar which has stood in opposition to His Holiness. A floodlight will shine on the United States.

The floodwaters of heaven being poured out during this 40 day period will purge and purify. 
His Glory will swallow and swell. 

We will see a simultaneous engulfing of movements where the voice of the Lord was ignored, man’s ways were exalted and filled with false worship, as well as an enlarging come to those who obeyed Him when He called and gave Him the honor due His Name. His Glory will sweep over both the den of robbers and houses of holy prayer. They will receive that which they sowed when His Glory shows up.

"This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Go ahead, add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves! For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices, but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you. But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward. From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets. But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their ancestors.’ "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. Therefore say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. Jeremiah 7:21-28

The Lord is both merciful and just. He is both holy and the embodiment of perfect love. He disciplines and judges unto restoration and reconciliation.
He takes away that His Glory may be made manifest.
The Lamb is standing and speaking. The Nations will hear and know that He alone is Lord.

Prophetic Instruction:

  • We must remain securely stepping at the pace of His Grace. That is where we find protection and prosperity in times of adversity or unfamiliarity. He is speaking to many reformers right now to slow down and wait.

  • It is for our good that as The Lord takes sovereign control over personal and corporate injustices, we die to any remaining expectation of what our version of justice and vindication looks like.

  • Remain in a position of lowliness. Eat the Word. Do not forsake the place of prayer.

  • Ask the Lord how to make you into a bridge of His reconciliation and restoration.

  • Sharpen your Sword, the weapon of your faith which is the word of God fresh upon your mind, released through your mouth!

  • Ask the Lord to expose any remaining areas where your faith is misplaced. No longer will we have the luxury to rely on man, but we must put all of our hope, reliance, and trust in the Lord.

This is what the Lord says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord. That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought  and never fails to bear fruit." The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? "I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve." Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means. When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them, and in the end they will prove to be fools. A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary. Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water. Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. 

Jeremiah 17:5-14

OCTOBER & THE SEASON OF ATONEMENT

As I sat down to begin processing the month of October with the Lord, I felt an invitation to pull back and slow down and let Him lead me through an encounter that would be a roadmap for the coming month, as well as the turning of the page into a brand new season on His calendar.

As I sat down to begin processing the month of October with the Lord, I felt an invitation to pull back and slow down and let Him lead me through an encounter that would be a roadmap for the coming month, as well as the turning of the page into a brand new season on His calendar.

I was planning on writing on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah which took place October 2nd and 3rd and the prophetic meaning behind the year 5785 that we crossed over into last week.

BUT!

The Lord had other plans. ;-)

And then He spoke to me in a dream. He showed me that the Day of Atonement needs to be where our attention is fixed in this time period. This day will be a stake in the ground that sets off a chain reaction of kairos events over the next three months. It is important to cover the origins and history of this holiday as it is indicative of what God is revealing over this current time.

What is the Day of Atonement? Yom Kippur, which at its root (kippurim) translates to “cleansing” in Hebrew, is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. It comes once a year and this year it begins on the evening of October 11 and concludes the evening of October 12. Its origination is marked by the day God forgave His people for the sin of erecting the golden calf just months after their Exodus from Egypt. (chabad.org) Moses intercedes on behalf of the Jews by reminding God of the covenant promise that was made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel).

But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” Then the Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

Exodus 32:11-14

It is then further established in Leviticus 16 as a set apart day of purification after the death of Aaron’s two sons who upon entering the tent of meeting, offered unauthorized (or “strange”) fire before the Lord.

 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, contrary to his command. So fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said: ‘Among those who approach me I will be proved holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.’ Aaron remained silent.

Leviticus 10:1-3

The Day of Atonement is one of redemption, purification and reconciliation, the ultimate manifestation of its fulfillment being in the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb.

You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

Hebrews 12:18-24 (emphasis mine)

But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.”

Hebrews 8:6

All of this laid as a foundation, is thematic of the prophetic narrative being released from Heaven over the next three months.

The Lord is completing different time cycles in the month of October and initiating brand new ones on a massive scale in the Church.
There is a ten year cycle reaching it’s conclusion and I hear Him saying
“The atoning period from the last ten years begins.”

There are two primary meanings of the word atonement, like two sides to the same coin.
1. reparation for an offense or injury.
2. reconciliation.

The root meaning of atonement literally translates to “onement” or “unite.” This of course speaks to humanity’s reunion with God through the sacrifice of Jesus. And this narrative is still being played out as ripple effects through time, varying types and shadows reflecting the main blueprint of the cross.

We are about to witness a collision of recompense and reconciliation in the lives of God’s people that will usher in a greater unity, alignment and authority among the body of Christ.

Recompense will come to those who embrace the ministry of reconciliation and allow God to use them as a bridge. The two cannot be separated from one another. We cannot say we belong to Christ while we cry out for vengeance and vindication of our own accord. Godly Atonement and reparations are made while simultaneously ushering in reconciliation, unity and oneness. He is leading many of His people back to the very places where their Godly inheritance was forfeited or stolen to reclothe them and restore them back to their rightful place in His Kingdom, to bind back together that which the enemy attempted to steal, kill and divide.

The Lord is inviting His Bride into an encounter of BEHOLDING His Glory manifested in The Son like never before. And in this beholding posture, every unauthorized offering, kingdom, work and sacrifice is burned up on the altar of His Holy Presence taking up residence in our hearts.

There will be a collective cry erupt out of those who stop to Behold the Lamb. It will be the cry of Isaiah,

“Woe is me! For I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts!”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said, “BEHOLD, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and you sin atoned for.”

Isaiah 6:5-7 (emphasis mine)

As we rest and behold Him, He will come as the Chief Apostle over His Church to finish what was initiated.

“I am coming whether you want me to or not.”

The Lord in His mercy is descending with greater authority during this time to reset the clocks and bring repayment to what was lost. He is also bringing with Him His divine judgements to be executed across the earth that will draw the attention of all men. Those who lost their gaze and traded their vision of Him for lesser things will have an adjustment of the eyes that puts them back into proper position, even if it means the cost of laying down titles and ministries. He will have His people.

Many will say in the month of October, “THIS IS THAT! This is the seed of that which was prophesied all those years ago.”

God is giving His people new eyes to behold from a higher vantage point, beyond the injustice, robbery, and unfulfilled desires to see the story He’s been writing all along. He is revealing to His people that which He prophesied over families, regions, and nations has been planted and is emerging from beneath the surface of the dirt.

“My story begins and ends with hope. I am here to uproot and tear down every false foundation and seed of deception that would seek to choke out that which I have given to my people to plant and to build. I am coming with both restitution and reconciliation in My hands for those who have paid the price to remain in the fire of My process. You will see with your own eyes the hope that I gave you from the utterance of My promise manifest before you. My Word is coming full circle. Watch Me restore what man said was impossible.”

In this hour the King is Speaking and we must be ready to respond.

  • Repent of divisive thought patterns that seek to elevate you in a position of dominance over another. Tear down the strongholds of pride that are blocking you from receiving and offering the gift of reconciliation.

  • The enemy wants to take our eyes off the new chapter The Lord is writing through us and onto the narrative of the past to repeat history. Be cautious not to give in to the temptation of being drawn back into old patterns, relationships and cycles from which you broke free. There will be a scent of nostalgia in the air that will try to seduce you into emotionally driven, dysfunctional alignments and atmospheres to keep you in the cycle of the past and take your eyes off of BEHOLDING His wonder working power. Stay firm and stay sober, as the Lord is inviting us into a brand new life giving rhythm of function and being.

  • Go back to the prophetic words God has spoken over your life, family and region. Ask for the Lord to give you eyes to see that which is springing forth in this time and partner with His Voice to usher in His Promises!

  • Ask Him what cycle He is completing in your life, and what new beginning awaits you over the next three months.

  • Let Him break every box of containment and fill you with Heavenly Hope once again.

SEPTEMBER: PART TWO

“Walls will fall in September! I am coming to do what only I can. I am the fourth man in the fire and as I was with you in the furnace of the last season so I am leading you to My Table of treasures. They are not made by man but refined gold and silver from the storehouse of Heaven."

If you have not read part one of this prophetic timeline, find the link at the bottom of this word and go there first! It sets the stage and postures our hearts to better receive what the Lord is pouring out in September and beyond.

Walls will fall in September! I am coming to do what only I can. I am the fourth man in the fire and as I was with you in the furnace of the last season so I am leading you to My Table of treasures. They are not made by man but refined gold and silver from the storehouse of Heaven. I am laying the best of My House before you to come and receive. Eye has not seen what I have prepared for My people, nor has ear heard just how great the promises are I have sealed in Heaven for those who rise to the occasion by faith and stand boldly before My Throne, clothed in the wineskin of the Lamb.

The NEW WINE is coming! Open up! Open up! New Wine is being poured into emptied and purified vessels. I have reserved the best for last, and just as fast as these vessels receive they will be quick to pour this wine into many cups. My wine multiplies, and to those who are generous with My Wine I will give more and more. This is a season of flowing in and spilling out, infilling and outpouring. The banks of limitation will not hold the overflow cascading from Heaven over this time. It is a kairos time, I am presenting it to those who are dressed and ready for the crossover. Take hold of this moment, seize every opportunity I place before you. Be bold, rise up, go with the overflow, and watch the collision of many streams coming together as a mighty river of provision. I am coming to fill the gaps where man’s knowledge and hand cannot reach. I am coming to settle the score in September. This will be a September of many signs. This will be a September to remember!”

Friend, the season of long transition you have been in is ending and a season of occupation and settling has begun. It’s time to move in and work the land prepared for you. This is where you see the culmination of being in the right place at the right time following His instructions and what it produces. You will eat the first fruits of your inheritance this month. It is no longer the season for manna and those who try to survive on leftovers as the landscape shifts will be left with fallow ground during a time of harvest.

He is putting both fruit to eat and seed to sow into your hands.

“For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.” 2 Corinthians 9:10-11

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:9-11

As the Word is made alive in you, so will He send His Word in you to accomplish everything He desires for your life. His desires for you are not just about you. You carry something that others need and there are destinies attached to the outworking of Christ in YOU which no one else can replicate. There is a seed of a God dream He planted in you when you first said “Yes.” It is a dream that can only be brought to life by the watering of the Spirit in every continued “yes” and submission to the dream Giver.

It is important in this hour not to bury what He has put in your hands out of fear, but to invest it and share the return with those He brings to you.

“I am raising up My agents of change and brokers of My Presence for this moment. These agents are being RESENT back into spheres, regions and industries from which I delivered them so they could lay their names and ways down and find The Better Way in My Name. They are returning with a divine mandate and a weightier metron of authority that no man can or will deny as they will broker on My behalf and at My instruction. They will not be recognized as they were before. I will be with them as I was with My servant Daniel. My favor will go ahead of them to open up divine appointments and they will be put before Kings of industries. I am releasing the Spirit of counsel and wisdom to interpret dreams and imparting to my agents a Spirit of might to release with great precision that will break through cultural barriers and displace ungodly powers. I am placing an anointing for Kingdom wealth advisement upon them. Pay attention, this does not apply only to dollars and cents. Prepare for a great treasure transfer. Prepare now!”

  • It is vitally important that as The Lord is showing us His Plans ahead of time that we put ourselves in a mindset ready to WAR and WORK.

  • We must be prepared to enact in the natural that which we hear and accomplish in the Spirit. May it never be said of us that we were like those who are ever hearing and never understanding, who see and never perceive. We must be people who are HEARERS and DOERS.

  • This will be a month where His eyes are scanning the nations for those who put their “money” where HIS mouth is and abandon human logic for a life of radical generosity and faith.

  • Take stock now of the treasures in your possession and find ways to invest into others. It may be money, materials, relationships, circles of influence. It could also be knowledge, revelation, experience and wisdom. He is calling forth many in this hour to a position of mentorship, to fill the mothering and fathering gap, and to begin to teach and feed His body with what He has imparted to us. As we are faithful to feed the people what we have, He will multiply and and satisfy the hungry that come to receive!

This is a month to RISE UP, BE BOLD, TAKE RISKS, GIVE ALL and WAR like never before!

SEPTEMBER: PART ONE

There is something so weighty and special resting on this time. The wind of the Lord is picking up speed and He is illuminating the hidden mysteries of His Way to those who ask for the ancient paths and begin to walk where they have not trod. 

There is something so weighty and special resting on this time. The wind of the Lord is picking up speed and He is illuminating the hidden mysteries of His Way to those who ask for the ancient paths and begin to walk where they have not trod. 

Pause now and invite the Holy Spirit to read this word with you. Wait a moment, wait for His Presence to command your attention. 

Now, step into an encounter as you read the introduction to this prophetic story God is writing over His people for the month of September, as His finger turns the page of a new chapter. Insert yourself into this history making Narrative. He is setting the stage. He is coming to do what only He can.

Dream 8/7/24

I was at a reception with many others. We were all celebrating the ending and completion of one thing and awaiting the announcement of what was coming next. There was feasting and celebration among the people as we were acknowledging and honoring what had just "finished." There was a oneness in the room that united all those present. We knew we were all there for a common purpose and brought together in that vision.

Suddenly a Voice commanded the attention of the whole room. And The Voice announced “WE ARE GOING TO WAR!" The whole room erupted in eager anticipation and an electricity filled the atmosphere as each person was overcome with honor and gratitude at the invitation to be selected and drafted into this war. We had all been waiting for this moment it seemed for a very long time. There were tears at the realization it was finally here and we were ready to commit ourselves fully, together, to the mission.

Everyone got up from their tables and began to get in line formations waiting for the next instructions. There appeared several tall, armored soldiers with swords who stood at the front of the reception hall and their assignment was to give everyone hair cuts before getting deployed. One by one we went to the front to partake in this rite of passage and present ourselves before these warring angels.

I got to the front of the line and was standing toe to toe with this very tall and commanding presence. He was knight like in his appearance and the sword in his hand spanned almost the full length of my body. I closed my eyes and with one swift movement his sword grazed across my neck line and my hair fell to the ground. I went to touch and feel my head and my shoulders were lighter, as if a heavy load had been lifted off of me. 

I was then given an armored escort who led me through a series of hallways and corridors to finish the preparations to be sent into battle. The dream ended as I caught a glance of my reflection in a window— I looked entirely different and appeared much younger than before my hair was cut.

Could you picture yourself in this room? Have you been waiting in the in between of a closed chapter not knowing, but hoping what was coming next was the revealing of what you saw, the Word you heard all those years go? Waiting to be commissioned into the purpose for which you were made? Taking your place, moving to the front lines, standing before the angels and watching every dead end and weight of the former season fall off your shoulders?

You are stepping into a dimension of destiny where you will no longer recognize the person you’ve become.
The former self is gone.
The new creation is coming forth.
One readied for conquest.

You are one He has summoned to lead the charge. Born into slavery and raised in the wilderness. You must leave the barrenness and bondage of Egypt behind to enter into this new day. The grace period of wandering and hanging on to the old is coming to a close. The announcement has come. His Prophetic Voice is rippling through the nations, sounding the alarm of the declaration of a holy war, a summoning to advance as one consecrated army to take dominion, to become a set apart possession of The King. And only those who sit at the Table of Unity may respond. Only those who take their place in the process of formation can proceed. Only those who submit to the severing of the former glory and cast their earthly crowns to the ground will be battle ready. 

September will bring with it a defining directive, one that will position you to step into the culmination of years of prophetic promises and dreams.
Everything that you have labored for inside of yourself is about to be poured out through you.
You are going from being delivered to being a vessel for delivery. It’s a double birth; a new birth and a rebirth.

We stand at the entrance of Jericho; the first of a great inheritance promised to His people. It’s time to put on the new lenses of faith and believe once more that what He said will be made manifest. It’s time to dust off your war boots and reengage, because the army of the Lord won’t be complete until you take your place. It’s time to release the roar He put in you, to shout down the walls of opposition and move onto the mountain of influence you’ve been marching around.

Your voice matters. These walls won’t fall until you speak.

You are leaving the crucible and with it all that contained and limited you and you are emerging with a flame that can no longer be extinguished. Light your lamp, protect the fire.

Get dressed, your kairos time is here.

Part Two will be released in the coming days…

AUGUST

The Lord highlighted James 1 as He began speaking about His timeline for the month of August… And I heard the Lord say,

“Do not lay the baby down! Be a faithful steward! To the one who has, more will be given, to those who hear my word and do it.”

“I will illuminate the way forward.”

The Lord highlighted James 1 as He began speaking about His timeline for the month of August:

2-12 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.

16-25 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Know this, my beloved brothers; let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who ACTS, he will be blessed in his doing. (emphasis mine)

And I heard the Lord say,

“Do not lay the baby down! Be a faithful steward! To the one who has, more will be given, to those who hear my word and do it.”

“I will illuminate the way forward.”

  • Ask

  • Engage

  • Make space

“These three things you must do to receive the solutions I am releasing from My Storehouse in August. Clean off your work surface so I can lay out the fresh blueprints for the next season of building, so I can show you the new road map. The keys to receiving will be found in proximity. Only those who embrace collective cruciform unity will be given the next steps. You will be commissioned into community. For My anointing of this hour rests on friendship, friendship with Me and My Bride. My Grace will fall on the collective and My Glory will be made manifest among covenant relationships where there is no competition, jealousy, envy, infighting or division.


”There will be a transference of anointings in August. It is vitally important who you surround yourself with as what’s on them will be imparted to you and what’s on you will be imparted to them. I am orchestrating a convergence at the crossroads in the month of August. Pay attention to the faces I put in front of you at the transitional turns and temporary stops. Do not diminish the fleeting moments of interaction as those will serve as flashpoints in the spirit, striking, lighting and igniting movements that will catch fire and spread beyond any particular region or territory. Your feet will catch the fire of the ground where you engage in these encounters and do not dismiss them as meaningless. This fire will go where you go as long as you stoke the flames of first love intercession. Your feet will remain burning wherever you go as you tend to and protect the fire in your hearth.” 

When the Lord said this, He made sure to reiterate to me that He used the word hearth intentionally. And then I saw a large stone fireplace situated in the center of a home, a double sided fireplace opening up to both the kitchen and living room. The hearth is considered the base of a fireplace, it can also be used to describe one’s home. 

  • As we receive impartation and catch the fire of revelation of His Glory in the place of encounter and in ministry activity He is equally imploring us that in order to keep the fire pure and burning we must not neglect the condition of our hearts or our homes. In our being and doing and sending and going the priority must be healthy, uncluttered souls and healthy relationships, intimacy among those the Lord has put in our lives as “family.” This is the only way to keep the fire burning continually and being a living representation of The Son.

“For those who go low and remain needy of Me I will show My Mercy and My Goodness. I will show them what my heart beats for and what is inside the chambers of My heart. I will place upon them divine mercy and grace for their brothers and sisters. I will impart a supernatural and unconditional love for the betrayer. I will tenderize those who remain on the threshing floor and allow their eyes to be cleansed and enlightened. This process is costly and painful, the reward is unbroken fellowship with My Heart and a greater revelation and embodiment of the ministry of Reconciliation. I will restore hope and vision for the future. And I will give to them blueprints for the next season in the wing of weakness and raise them up in honor with My power and strength to begin the next phase of co-laboring with Me. These blueprints will require NEW EYES to perceive and understand the instructions that I give. These blueprints will require many hands. No more building alone. Look! Look at those on the floor. Look for those with fresh tears. They will be My co-laborers and those I call friends, they are the ones I approve and have heaven’s permits to build together.”


“What I have shown you in the place of hiddenness will begin to take shape. Be faithful to remain engaged, make space and steward what I shape and place into your hands to be crafted and clarified with the help of My sevenfold Spirit and My friends.”

As I saw the Lord place what He had shaped in its raw form into the open hands of His people there were specific instructions given to encourage those who respond to the invitation to co-labor and create with Him.

  • This will be a period of relearning and going back to the drawing board. Do not worry, you may feel discouraged, out of practice or “outdated” in your way of doing things. I saw Him accelerating the learning phase and process and giving you the ability to “pick it up quickly” and absorb information and assimilate to His Kingdom Way.

  • Do not prematurely grieve what you see because it does not line up with what you had originally imagined. Keep yourself from jumping to conclusions or making assumptions about what’s in front of you/in your hands. I hear Him saying to “wait for all of the instructions” or you will be left disappointed and confused from the incomplete picture. 

  • Give Him what you have, and let HIM multiply it. The enemy wants you to believe the lie that you will never be “ready” by keeping you fixated on the areas of lack and those who left. Don’t get so consumed with preparedness that you miss the invitation of obedience before you RIGHT NOW. You will be tempted to partner with insecurity, inadequacy and feeling like you don’t have the strength or competency to build what He’s shown you, which means that you will be forced into a supernatural creative process and dependency where only He can accomplish through you in the collective a finished and beautiful product. This leads me to the last instruction…

  • Embrace the fresh Grace falling on your exposed weakness. Be honest about where you are weak and empty and don’t hide it. This is the target of His Grace and where you will see His Glory invade. I saw a quilted blanket of many colored patches falling on those who laid themselves bare in their weakness. It was a mantle of varying expressions of Christ’s power in the “gift of grace” covering those positioned low in humility before the Lord and among one another. Let Him fill every empty place with His Grace and Glory and watch how He infuses you with HIS strength, creativity and power.

He is about to fill the empty spaces of the last season with His overwhelming Presence. He is giving to those who set their faces like flint in steadfastness an encounter with His Goodness. I see the call of “Nathanael” going out from heaven to those who have remained in the fire. He will say of you “Behold! A man indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” And this is the season you will emerge and declare with wholehearted conviction “I have seen the Son! I have seen His goodness and His mercy pass before me.”

Be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. As an example of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:7-11

JULY

On April 1st, I heard the Lord say, “The eagles will fly in July.”

This wasn’t just a commissioning statement, but a declaration of the simultaneous completion and beginning of an epoch.

The Way of The Eagle

On April 1st, I heard the Lord say,

“The eagles will fly in July.”

This wasn’t just a commissioning statement, but a declaration of the simultaneous completion and beginning of an epoch

Epoch - a period of time in history or a person's life, typically one marked by notable events or particular characteristics. 

He continued, “In this hour I am separating the parrots from My prophets, the actors from My apostles. I will expose the crows who squawk and monitor and anoint the heads and wash the feet of those who have submitted to the arduous molting process. You have known me as Alpha, now I will be revealed as Omega, as both the Author and Finisher of seasons."


Have you noticed the signs already?
Have you experienced the closure I am referencing?
The separation of the genuine from the copycat for your protection? 

Some of you will finally leave the place of paralyzation at the crossroads. Many have come to the realization,
I can’t stay here anymore. I must have more. I need to see the new horizon!”


This mass migration and flight of prophetic people will bring a necessary and natural separation between those who are ready to bear the burden of leadership in this war time season of reformation versus those who will remain chained to the ways of the past and repeating the sound of the outdated echo chamber of safety they refuse to leave.

“But they will not and they must not fly alone!”

Covenant is key.

We will see the beginnings of circles of covenant form among God’s people where true prophetic anointing will flow and produce a next level breaker anointing. There will be a purity and unfiltered, raw song that this generation has never heard and it will come as the “roar” of the “many waters” pouring out of God’s consecrated vessels.

A strong sound will emerge out of those who embrace weakness and a poverty of spirit in this season.

Watch the prophets.

There will be a shift from singular to collective, from isolation to family formation, outcasts crying in the wilderness to occupying companies and a corporate anointing. Watch the prophets come into fresh covenant with one another and collectively make a renewed covenant with YHWH. This will spark a re-tuning and a change of frequency in the voice of the ecclesia that this time will hit the RIGHT KEY at the right time.

The emphasis of this last wilderness season was on healing the prophetic heart and a rehabilitation and retraining of the voice of the “one.” 

We are now crossing over into a period of co-laboring through connection and multiplied breakthroughs forged only in the bonds of brotherhood. 

I see the battle formation taking shape. The formation of prophets, seers and voices who are exiting the holding pattern, leaving the bunker, changing position and shifting gears to accelerate and advance together in unified company.

Those who accept the invitation to covenant renewal will enter into a large scale possession and occupation of God’s promises. It will be those who commit themselves to war and the iron sharpening iron that will see victory, moving from “no man’s land” to dispossessing darkness and taking ground. 


We are entering an appointed time of conquest for those who receive their blueprints and walk in obedience to do and build all that which God has instructed; His Way and in His Time.

July will mark the beginning of a season of “Conquering Canaan” as recorded in Joshua 10-11.

We will cross “mile marker 1” in July. Just as Joshua and the Israelites conquered Canaan strategically from south to north, the Lord will show you and position you in the “first marker” of the territory and inheritance you are to possess and move you with great intentionality from one promised land to the next. Pay careful attention to the places and people He brings you to as He will use these to form a personalized battle plan of victory in your life.

“Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands.” [Joshua 10:8]

  • The enemy wants nothing more than to derail you at the starting line of this new season. Do not bow to the fear being unleashed right now. The greatest threat to receiving the fullness of God’s promises in your life is believing the lie that God is not Good. Don’t let your vision get clouded with disillusionment and despair. Any exposure or discipline in your life is unto the purity and power that lies on the other side of your surrender to a cruciform existence. It’s the most painful and messiest as the baby is being born. Keep your hands connected to what God gave you to create.

Then watch! Watch as He causes the sun and moon to “stand still” until you accomplish all that He put in your sights. There will be a sudden collision where the past and present meet to bring breakthrough clarity of the future God had planned when He spoke His narrative into your life. There is grace to act and move. You will come into a fresh understanding of knowing God as the Lord over times and seasons. We will see Daniel 2:21 unfold in even greater measure beginning in the month of July:


He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

  • Ask for wisdom, ask for knowledge so that you may discern the times and the seasons. 

  • Surrender to the season of exposure. Let Him uproot any remaining pride and hold that the old may have on you. But don’t let it disqualify you from your mandate.

  • Ask for a fresh infilling of courage, strength and stamina as we war for our promised inheritance.

  • Ask for the way of the eagle. Ascend with Him and accept His never ending invitation to “Come up here!” Go back to the beginning of intimacy when it was just you and Him in the secret place and blow on those embers.

  • Learn to move with the wind. Now more than ever it is vital for us to become the embodiment of a Spirit led people to transition into Spirit led exploits. 

  • Do what He tells you to do. Be like Joshua. Don’t delay. 

His Grace is on your action. 
“We can’t outrisk His faithfulness.” –Ocean and the Ghost


Just as the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses. Joshua 11:15 [emphasis mine]


“So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.” Joshua 11:2

MAY & JUNE

As I began this journey with God looking ahead at 2024 I was given various snapshot visions. On May 1st, I saw what can only be described as scorched earth as far as the eye could see, with a single seed buried under the ground beginning to sprout green shoots.

As I began this journey with God looking ahead at 2024 I was given various snapshot visions. On May 1st, I saw what can only be described as scorched earth as far as the eye could see, with a single seed buried under the ground beginning to sprout green shoots.

Scorched Earth: a military policy involving deliberate and usually widespread destruction of property and resources (such as housing and factories) so that an invading enemy cannot use them; directed toward victory or supremacy at all costs.

We are going to see a certain leveling of any structures, resources, businesses and ministries where the enemy has had access to utilize for demonic infiltration. The fire of God will burn anything that could be used by hell in order to gain complete and total victory for His Church. This fire which was spoken of in March & April will be the refining standard that scorches to the very ground those things which were built by man's ideas and resting on sand.

Do not be alarmed when you see widespread and accelerated closures, bankruptcies, shut-downs and dismembering of ministries, businesses, governing bodies, leadership councils and networks. The Lord is releasing angelic armies and setting fire to His field as an open burning tactic to clear the debris, weeds and stubble of the last era before sowing new seeds for the upcoming harvest. There will be some regions where the land must be left fallow for a period and some where the harvest will be ripe and God will move His people where they need to be according to their gifts and skill sets during this period of time.

Watch for green shoots of new beginnings to spring forth in May.

Many of you will be asked to leave ground that you had been tilling and plowing and working for years, some for decades so that it can lay fallow for a season while you are transplanted somewhere new, or so that another "phase" of building, planting, and harvesting can take place by another. Those who have faithfully plowed where they were planted will reap where they have not sown in the month of May.

We will see the rise of new "generals" in the faith step forward into a place of promotion heading into June. These new wineskin generals will build tables of Apostolic Governing Councils where prophets will be given seats of honor. I saw "Super Summits" in the spirit as these generals came together for the purpose of building up, fortifying the foundations and unifying the Church under the apostolic headship of Jesus. There will be a clear delineation between those the Lord is re-firing and those He is retiring. We will see many recommissioned while others simultaneously are decommissioned. This is all playing into the mobilization of a revolutionary period that will take stage in the coming months and years.

There is going to be the declaration of a new revolution in June.

This will play out in parallel and radically shift both culture and The Church. The revolutionary period will come in waves, the "first draft" being in June. Be careful to discern between announcements of counterfeit revolutions of rebellion among the genuine and true radical change taking place that has been ordained by God in this kairos time. Your partnerships and alignments will become even more key as many “moves” will claim God’s name in order to usurp and gain power.

The Lord is preparing those He is calling to the front lines to be deployed into various spheres of society to form new colonies or communities. They will be appointed as shepherds and guides to lead others through the shifting tide of this cultural and spiritual revolution and help to discern between the true and the false. As I was praying over these shepherds, I heard the Lord say,

"Look for those whose life message is The Sermon on The Mount."

"You will know My shepherds not by the words they speak, but by The Word that lives in them. They will be poor in spirit, meek, hungry for righteousness and ever thirsting for My Spirit, merciful, pure in heart, peace makers, and the majority will mock them, for the life they have chosen is not one of popularity but of the Narrow Way. These shepherds will not just be Spirit filled, they will be Spirit led, step by step. They will build communities of light houses on hills. These light houses will illuminate My Glory and reveal The Son in fullness. There will be no shadow of deception in them. Their lives will display the transparent and holy virtue of hiddenness, because their eyes are fixed on the eternal reward.

“My Shepherds will saturate atmospheres with prayer. Their eyes will be clear, continually full of tears. They will be carriers of Peace and Order. They will keep close the rod and the staff to protect My sheep from wolves and false teachers. They will be those who raise, bless, and release. My shepherds are practitioners of what they preach. Follow them as they follow Me, for they will lead with My authority and bring you in submission to My Son. They will teach you true discipleship and mutual honor. These shepherds will not lead in isolation but as redeemed teams, connecting My flock in interdependence upon The Good Shepherd. My Love will abide in and through them. They will reproduce sons of light."
