Month: January 2018

Mark 5:48-50 “When it was almost morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the surface of the water, and he started to pass by them. When they all saw Him walking on the waves, they thought He was a ghost and screamed out in terror. But He said to them at once, do not yield to fear. Have courage. It’s really me-I Am” (The Passion Translation)

As I was reading this passage of scripture this morning, the Lord began to speak to me and say, “I am coming in a way that many will not recognize it is me, because they think they have never seen me walk like this before. I am coming in a way that is going to cause many to cry out in fear, because they do not know my ways.”

Many well known and respected prophets have said and are saying, that God is about to do something we have never seen before, never heard before, never known before. But none of them have been able to articulate what that is, what that is going to look like. Chuck Pierce says, we have never gone this way before, Paul Keith Davis says, we do not have the vernacular to describe what is coming, and Johnny Enlow says, God is inviting us to be invisible. Lance Wallnau says, very few are fighting the war to take the 7 mountains of society and Rick Joyner said, he has a sense in his spirit that something of significance is about to happen in the earth that will shake us. But not one of these people can describe, articulate or tell us what exactly God is about to do.

I would propose to you, that God is about to release the kingdom of God through people in a way that we have never seen before. To some they are going to cry out in fear, it is a ghost, it is scary, I don’t understand it, I can’t control it and I am terrified by it. The reason some will fear is because as Jesus said in the following verses of Mark 5, “…because they failed to learn the lesson of the miracle of the loaves and their hearts were unwilling to lean the lesson.” Fear is going to strike those in the body of Christ that are not teachable as the Lord manifests the kingdom in a way we have never seen before.

The key to living in the kingdom of God is to remain teachable. In the kingdom you must live in tents like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and David did, for the kingdom of God is a tabernacle, it is a tent, it is mobile. When the cloud moves, we must move, when the Lord says, lets go, we must go. Many people are going to be afraid of this next move of God, because it is just that…a move, a move we have never made before, a move we have never seen before, but it is the same God that is moving. The same God that multiplied the fish and the bread is the same God that walked on the waves. Same God, different move.

I want to encourage you today, God is coming in a way we’ve never seen before, so we must remain teachable, flexible, pliable. He will never violate His word, but He may offend your thinking. When Jesus came as God in a man’s body, He did not violate the Word of God, but He did offend the minds of men and women. He is coming in a way we’ve never seen before, so you need to know His nature, His character, His ways, so when you see it, hear it, encounter it, you are not terrified, but rather you jump out of your boat and walk on the waves with him, for remember, His intent in Mark 5:48-50 was to pass by them, not get in the boat with them.

Don’t forget your history with God and God’s history with humanity, for it is going to be the same God, but He is coming in a brand new way.

Citizen Way has a song called Set It on Fire and the chorus begins by saying, “This is the heart reset, this is the 2.0, this is the wave good bye, or is it hello? This is the new me, redeemed, set free, your love has sparked my heart and set it on fire!”

Haggai 2:9 says it this way, “The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house, says the Lord Almighty. And in this place, I will grant peace, declares the Lord Almighty” (NIV).

Can you feel it? Do you recognize the change that has taken place? We have entered a new era, we have stepped into a new day. The mercy of God did it at the start of the Roman calendar 2018, the shift has been obvious to many. Prophets are prophesying shift and new all over Facebook and in pulpits around the globe. Yes, it is a new year, but this year is different, because we entered a new era. The past era was a time of mourning, but this era is about rejoicing. Something has shifted and I believe we have entered the land of the 2.0. You know the ministry you did before, then something happened and it never fulfilled its purpose? You know the person you were before, but you went through some major renovations over the past how many years and now something is new? This is the 2.0!

I know personally something has changed dramatically, it was like when the clock struck midnight and we were all in 2018, something in the spirit changed. I can’t put words to it, but I get text messages saying, this happened at church today, I am sensing this, what is going on? It is everywhere and this is not a new year’s resolution, this is a God revolution. This is the 2.0!

One thing I know, is that on Friday January 5, 2017 at 9am, the Lord spoke to me while in prayer and said, “Menorah Multiplying Mantle”. I could sense in the spirit this is what we will be wearing and multiplying in the 2.0, but what is a menorah multiplying mantle, that I did not know, but what I have learned so far, is that this mantle, which is like a King or Queen’s robe, is an important role of responsibility that symbolizes authority and people will see those who are wearing it. Not only will they see it, they will be able to wear one themselves if they want to.

The menorah is a 7 lamp, 6 branch pure gold lampstand, that would only be filled with pure olive oil and was only to be used in the tabernacle. The menorah was displayed as a war trophy and symbolizes revelation and wisdom. Remember Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:17 that God would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation. I believe this is the menorah multiplying mantle that we are going to wear. We are going to see in the 2.0 tabernacle, those who are wearing the menorah multiplying mantle. They will be ones who have the spirit of wisdom and revelation. The truth they will release will be pure and unadulterated. They will not care who gets the credit, as long as God gets the glory.

The multiplication will represent the resulting operation of exponentiation. We have heard about Bob Jones’ prophecy of the billion-soul harvest, well it will be seen because of this menorah multiplying mantle. Those wearing this mantle will be so full of light, that others will want to be light in the same way and as more and more people in the tabernacle get lit on fire with the pure olive oil of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God, it will multiply. Discipleship will be organic because hungry people will always find out where the food is. Remember, Jesus said, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you at the loaves and had your fill (John 6:26). People are hungry for the pure truth of the word of God and purity is going to break the power of pluralism.

We are living in a new era, a new day, there is no going back. What we honor we empower, so it is time to honor the word of God in our lives, honor the Holy Spirit and honor the Father of glory. Things are going to accelerate now, because the Father has released a menorah multiplying mantle upon his mature sons and daughters for the sake of multiplying the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the earth for the saving of lives. This is the 2.0!

5am I wake up and immediately hear the sound of wind blowing and light hail hitting the side of the house. I think it’s storming outside, I look out the window and it is calm as can be. I go back to sleep and have a vision of two 4’s that are acting like a gate and they open to an 8. Four in Hebrew is dalet and means doorway, gate, entrance, moving into something, to open up, a place where change can take place. While eight in Hebrew is chet and means fence, inner room, private, to separate, protect, protected garden, quiet place, sanctuary.

The Hebrew year 5778, the Roman year 2018 is the year of the open door. I believe this year a Glory Storm (Ryan LeStrange) is coming that will draw people through the open door (double 4’s/doors) into the sanctuary of God’s presence on earth as it is in heaven. The gates of His presence are open to all who want to enter.

Revelation 4:1, 5 “…behold a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this. And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.”

This will be a year where we will say with Job, “My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes see You. Therefore, I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5-6). I believe we are going to see the manifestation of many of the things we’ve only heard about through the scriptures or through rhema. I believe this is the year of double doors of hearing and seeing opening so we can enter into the sanctuary of God like we’ve never been before. We are going to see and hear things that will literally cause us to stand in awe and wonder, who is our God?

Double 4’s are double doors that open to the 8, where we see and hear things we’ve never heard and seen before. Welcome to the New Year!
