In my prophetic word for 2022, released last January, the Lord gave me several timing words that have all come to pass. Particularly what took place during Passover to Pentecost - there was a release of healing and revelation. The Lord spoke to me, "There will be a major release of fresh new spiritual gifts in July 2022. The Lord is bringing a new revelation into numbers, dates, times and seasons. This will bring about some new revelation into your life and propel the world of medicine and science to bring about medical cures and a radical change in the way we do things. During this time, the Lord will also release a new wave of healing power and anointing over sickness and disease."
Today as I was praying the spirit of the Lord began to speak and show me a vision that we must pray into this season. I see churches throughout the world, some are small and yet many are large. Some were opening the doors to only a few, while others were overflowing with people. In the image there were no two alike, yet all were churches with people that thought they were in the right place and time.
This week, someone said to me, "You can't live in your emotions and fulfill your assignment at the same time. It's like trying to serve two gods or being 'double-minded.'" My heart lept -- knowing that the truth for me was the opposite. Emotions are a vital part of what it means to be a human being made in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. Certainly, the Lord understands our emotions (since He created us with the capacity to feel and express them), and He expresses His own emotions flawlessly.
Jesus' name is listed in the Bible 1,281 times, more than any other individual. The next most mentioned person in the Bible is David, at 971 times, and we can learn so much by studying his life. David went through many struggles, failures and battles, yet he stayed faithful to God. He knew how to keep spiritually strong, even when his trials and tests were overwhelming. David's worst day is described in 1 Samuel 30, when the Amalekites raided his camp at Ziklag. These terrorists kidnapped all the women and children, torched the city and looted everything.
Imagine that someone very close to you receives a prophetic word which also impacts you and requires your participation. Not only do you have to trust that the person received and heard the word correctly, you also must decide to align with the word over your life. How would you respond? Would you demand the Lord give you the word individually, easily align with the word, question the individual, ask for a sign or ask God the next question?
I've been to many conferences, church services and home groups where the Holy Spirit begins to move, and some people get so intoxicated in the anointing while others just don't receive anything. Why is it that some people are so sensitive to the Holy Spirit and others don't even recognize His presence? I'm going to share how any Holy Spirit filled believer could become more sensitive to Him, hear His voice and discern His leading.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is so essential for our walk with God, and it's been a long time since I've heard anyone talk about this subject. Ever since I gave my life to Jesus I've practiced "praying in the spirit." In a nutshell I got addicted to enjoying the Presence of God! Turning on some worship music I would engage with God in my heart by just praying in tongues. My heart was connected to the Father in such an intimate way that nothing compared to the simplicity of being with Him. Today I still enjoy that same blessing. When you find the reality of His Presence for your life personally - you always know where to turn! it's never a thought to go anywhere else. Our God is good, and He is the best!
As the tensions in the world continue to increase around us, many Christians are abandoning their faith, no longer attending church, or staying plugged into any community. Agendas of fear are running rampant across the world, and many are succumbing to the pressures mounting around them. This is an hour of history like no other, with missionaries leaving the field due to lack of funding and thousands of churches shutting their doors. As the bride of Christ, when the fire starts getting hot, we need to get hotter. The trials are real, the pain, the sorrow - it is all real. It is what we do from those places that matters the most. I believe in this time we can glean a lot from the book of Ruth.
Do you sometimes feel as though your thoughts are a tornado swirling in your mind? One thought pulls another negative thought into the scene, and then damage begins to surface. The good news is that God can silence the chaos, and freedom is the result. Jesus died and rose so that you and I could walk in peace, joy, and freedom. We do not have to succumb to the thoughts that enter our minds. We can choose what we are going to think about.
For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction. In order to turn man from his deed and conceal pride from man. Job 33:14-17 NKJV God will speak to you even if you do not perceive it or understand. He can conceal revelation from your natural mind to keep you from getting prideful. God is often sealing our instructions even though we are not aware.
