A New Queen Is In Town

In May 2023 the Lord began speaking to me about doing a prophetic adventure in Charlotte, NC. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and I was not able to make the trip. Then two weeks ago, I gathered a team, booked an AirBnB and the trip was planned for this week. We did not know Hurricane Helene was coming, nor we were going to let it stop what God had called us to do, we knew being there before Rosh Hashannah was important, so we took the South route through Atlanta and up to Charlotte. It took longer than planned due to traffic to arrive, but we made it safe and sound.

On Wednesday morning, the first morning I was in a new city, while in prayer the Lord spoke to me and said, “You are here to dethrone one queen and enthrone another one.” Charlotte is called Queen City and there are crowns all over the place in that city. I went in the house to my room and began reading Esther 1. The Lord continued by saying, “You are dethroning the spirit of Vashti, who disobeys the kings commands and enthroning the spirit of Esther who will obey the kings commands.”

We learned that Queen Charlotte was at the airport, so we went to the airport and found out where she is located is called the Queen’s court. So we marched right into her court, up to her statue, which was declaring visually, heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool, and we dethroned her with our words right there in the airport and then declared the enthroning of the spirit of Esther over this city and our nation. No fireworks, nothing fancy, just a decree of dethroning and a decree of enthroning.

This was the first of multiple legs of this prophetic adventure. We know this is what the Lord said to do, and that it is a word for our nation. The spirt of Vashti has been dethroned from our land and the spirit of Esther has been enthroned. The king is Jesus and the queen is the Ecclessia, who will obey her king. Everything is going to change in the church for a new queen has been enthroned and an old queen has been dethroned. This is only the beginning of many things that happened on this trip to Charlotte, NC.

No Rear View Mirror

Happy New Year!!!! Welcome to Hebrew year 5785, for you that know, apples and honey to you. For you that don’t apples and honey represent a blessing upon a sweet new year. Friends, we have entered a new year, we have signs in the heavens, with two moons, a ring of fire solar eclipse; signs in the earth, an air strike on Israel, and BoA with accounts going to zero. So many directions to look when trying to understand what is going on in the earth and heavens right now. But fear not, everything that can be shaken is being shaken and even what you thought couldn’t be shaken is shaking. We are at a gate to a new year, this is why you are seeing and hearing of all these things, it is nothing to fear, but it is something to behold.

What I have been hearing he Lord say for the past two days is, “NO MORE REAR VIEW MIRROR!” I have said it to two different people and the Lord said this is what I am saying to my people. NO MORE REAR VIEW MIRROR. The apostle Paul said it this way in Philippians 3 “Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” NO MORE REAR VIEW MIRROR.

We have got to stop talking about the past, listening to voices from the past, looking for moves of God in the past, and relying on our past to determine our future. It is not helping us it is hindering us. We struggle to trust people now because of our past; we think the world is ending because of what we have been taught in the past. We must stop looking backwards and talking backwards, this is a forward march movement.

We have entered the gate of a new year, welcome to 5785, nothing is going to remain the same, so when you look back to find the answers you will miss out on the fresh revelation God is releasing in now time. If you hold onto, talk about, and constantly rely on what happened in the past or what you were told in the past, you will miss so many moments in the present. Friends, our new vehicles do not have rear view mirrors, so put the top down, throw your hands up and and enjoy the ride for everything is in front of us and the future is bright with light!!!!

Now

The month e have entered will be full of great shaking, but the Lord already knew this so He has sent people ahead of the enemy and ahead of what God is going to do to prepare the way, The reports you will hear will be eye witness reports, not hearsay, media play or any naysay. The prophetic has aligned in time with reality and now things are not going to be a coming soon, but here they are.

Many have prophesied about a coming shaking, well the shaking has begun. Many have spoken about the fall of Babylon, both as a financial and a religious system, both have begun. Many have hinted at things they could not speak of because people would not have believed them even if they told them, this also has begun. When reality aligns in time with the prophetic everything changes.

Jesus was prophesied as the coming Messiah from Adam and Eve to Malachi and everyone in between. They waited and waited and waited, Hebrews 11 even speaks of people who waited in faith. But then the day came when He was there in the flesh, right in front of them and many people who heard the prophesied did not believe it was Him. We as people can get so used to waiting we don’t believe it when it actually happens. We must shake off the waiting season for we are living in now time. Now things are happening.

In this now time, remember what Paul said in Philippians 4 “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” We are living world history right now!

Branch Identification

The church can be likened to the multiple branches of the military. Each branch has an assignment in order to protect the nation. Each branch takes great pride in their branch and their assignment. However, if the multiple branches do not remember they are not the only branch, they will not honor and respect the other branches, let alone share information that may be helpful for other branches. We must know what branch we are called to function in, without forgetting we are connected to other branches that are fighting for the same cause as we are for the protection, deliverance and salvation of the same nation.

John 15 says, Jesus is the vine, His Father is the vine dresser and we are the branches. This means each branch has a function and it serves a purpose, but we all are connected to the same vine and we all have the same Father who is our vine dresser. Some branches get pruned in order to be more fruitful, similar to Gideon’s army who was brought down to 300 in order to win the war they were called to fight. Remember, we are many branches of the same military allied with one God Jesus the Christ as our head, commander and chief.

If you are in the Air Force of this military, you will do Ephesians 6:12 air warfare. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” If you are in the Army of this military, you will be boots on the ground, Mark 8 people. “In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.”

We may have different roles to play for the sake of our nation, but we are both doing what we have been called to for the salvation of a nation. I am an Air Force branch member, I do air warfare, Intercessory prayer, prophetic adventures, blowing of the shofar, salting of rivers, this is what I am called to do. My best friend is Army, boots on the ground, feeding people who are hungry, laying hands on the sick so they recover. We are not in competition, we complement each other. I need her and she needs me. Church, we must know what branch we are called to function in and not be in competition with others as though they are not adding value to the salvation of a nation because they are in a different branch of the same military we are in.

Moving Again

The Hebrew New Year begins this week on Wednesday with their Head of the Year called Rosh Hashannah. As Westerners we start our New Year in January, but theirs begins with many high holy holidays including Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles. These days are significant in history as trumpets make announcements; atonement is a reminder of the power of the blood of Jesus and Tabernacles is a reminder that God is dwelling among us. As this New Year is about to begin and they call it 5785, we are entering into a new season. What will this season hold, many will be sharing their thoughts, their prophetic words and their ideas, but only God knows what He has in store for the nations.

One thing I was sensing in the spirit this morning as I was walking is related to one song and one word. The song I keep hearing in my spirit is Josh Baldwin’s song Made For More. The line I can’t escape is, “I wasn’t made to be tending a grave, I was born and raised back to life again, I was made for more!” It feels like a trumpet going off in my spirit that the days of tending graves are over for we were made for more.

Then this morning Lana Vawser wrote a blog about recompense and she made a statement about prophesying to the dry bones again. I sense we are to not tend a grave but to prophesy to dry bones. Ezekiel 37 is about a graveyard, but the prophet does not go into the graveyard to tend a grave, he went in to prophesy to dry bones. This is a massive shift we must make.

As we enter this New Year with the Hebrew people into 5785, I am announcing we are no longer tending graves, we are prophesying to dry bones and telling them with our voice as a trumpet to come alive, for we were made for more. We have been forgiven of our sins, so we can dwell with Christ and remember Christ is in You. This is a not by power, not by might but by My spirit says the Lord move we are in. If you are in a graveyard of any kind, stop serving the dead and prophesy to them, COME ALIVE and watch dry bones begin to rattle.

Looking From Another Layer

There are many layers of seeing. What we see is not the only layer of seeing available. Just as there are many layers of hearing and what we hear is not the only layer available. Most miscommunication between us is because we are not hearing on the layer the person is speaking. But once we are on the same “playing field” we can hear the same and see the same way. This takes time to listen, time to consider what someone else is seeing and time to be patient for someone may see or hear something we don’t, because they are looking at it from a different layer than we are.

1 Corinthians 2:14 says, “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” This describes the natural layer many people hear and see from and the spiritual layer. One is not superior to the other in the sense of heirarchy, control or domination, but they are two different layers of seeing and hearing.

In the natural we are seeing and hearing of bridges collapsing, roads being flooded, people being stranded in mountain regions, food supply being limited, interstates being closed and cities being cut off from cellular and internet service. We see trees that have fallen, water levels that have risen and cars and houses that are submerged in water. We have heard there are at least 50 casualties and in the natural it is challenging, heartbreaking and in some ways devastating.

In the spirit there is another narrative being declared. Psalm 29 says, “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters. The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.” What is the voice of the Lord saying? I heard the Lord says, “this hurricane came to cleanse the atmosphere.” A friend arrived from Houston last night and she said, “The Lord told me this rain is cleansing the atmosphere.” For me that was an echo.

It may be hard to hear the voice of the Lord when you are seeing all the images on the news, but this deluge happening the week of Rosh Hashannah, the Hebrew New Year 5785 is not coincidental. The cities being highlighted on the news are not coincidental. God is cleansing the atmosphere and a little research on the cities being named will reveal hidden truths about the spiritual cleansing that is happening in this flood of 2024, much like as in the days of Noah. We on this side of the Mississippi are being cleansed for a mighty move of God that will bless a nation.

Light Bearers Are Here

One of the challenges of being a lover of truth is that not everyone wants to know the truth. The other challenge is when you speak the truth, people resist it not because it is not truth, but because they are more locked into lies than they realize. Truth stands the test of time, so you do not need to argue with people who do not believe the truth you are speaking, just speak the truth and leave it, for if it is truth it will work on them and they will come to know it as truth, whether they ever give you credit for speaking it to them or not. 

During our Bible study yesterday morning, an 18 year old girl told us her generation is hungry for truth. They are truth seekers. Then a 50 year old mom told us about her son who is speaking at a conference this week on sales and marketing, but the number one question he gets from the attendees who seek him out is, how do you hear the voice of God. She said, he is shocked that they are not asking him how to scale their business, but how to hear the voice of God. 

There is a hunger in people to know the truth, to know the voice of God and it is not church people asking these questions, but all kinds of other people. I was praying Psalm 27 this morning and it says, “Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one!” While praying this verse, the Holy Spirit said, “The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not comprehend it.” Holy Spirit continued by saying, “The darkness in people cannot comprehend the revelation light of truth they are hearing, so they resist it, because they cannot comprehend it.” 

Truth is light, it shines into our darkness, so we can be light beings. Light bearers carrying revelation truth are speaking out in so many different places and those who don’t know much about the Bible are receiving the revelation truth, but those who think they know so much about the Bible are actually rejecting the truth that will set them free. Light always triumphs over darkness. Welcome to the great awakening.

Revival For The Religious

Have you ever wondered why people in church are more hard hearted than people in the world? Think about it for a minute. When you were an unbeliever, you did not believe in Jesus, you were hurt and angry, but you were not hard hearted toward God. Most unbelievers are not anti-God they just don’t know who He is, but when they hear the truth about Him they melt in His presence. How else did we get saved? But then in church you have people who are divided over theologies of men, colors of carpets, and in the days of Jesus whether or not you could heal on the Sabbath. If you really think about this, it is crazy how hard-hearted believers are.

Mark 3 speaks about Jesus in the synagogue and this is what it says, “Then looking around at everyone, Jesus was moved with indignation and grieved by the hardness of their hearts and said to the man, “Now stretch out your hand!” As he stretched out his hand, it was instantly healed! After this happened, the Pharisees left abruptly and began to plot together with the friends and supporters of Herod Antipas on how they would kill Jesus.” Stop for just a minute, the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the synagogue, sought to kill Jesus because He healed a man in the synagogue on the Sabbath. We find that absurd but we can’t forgive someone in the pew next to us, let alone be friends with the people in the church across the street because they speak in tongues.

Friends, if Jesus showed up in our church today, we would see how religious we really are. Paul said, if you have not love you are nothing and I am concerned we are closer to nothing than we are to someone and it is a stench in the nostrils of God. We need a revival, not of the unbelievers, but of people who have said a prayer, but still don’t know how to love their neighbor, their spouse, their children, their friends, their family. We need a revival in the church because we need to learn to love God and love people. Let it not be said of us, that we are more like the Pharisees than the sinners and tax collectors who loved dining with Jesus.

Humility Is Teachability

People that pursue God remain humble (teachable) because when you pursue God, you see God, you hear God, you get to know God and you realize there is no end to learning things about God. This is why humility is the fruit of someone who truly is seeking God. Humility is not abasement, it is not thinking low of yourself, it is being teachable, it is not thinking you know so much, it is confidence in God, not in what you know or think you know. Humility is being teachable and consistently pursuing God.

People who are proud, who are religious, who think they are scholars in the things of God, stop learning once they master what they believe about God. Jesus ran into religion consistently and in Mark 2 it says, “When the religious scholars and the Pharisees found out that Jesus was keeping company and dining with sinners and tax collectors, they were indignant. So they approached Jesus’ disciples and said to them, ‘Why is it that someone like Jesus defiles himself by eating with sinners and tax collectors?’ But when Jesus overheard their complaint, he said to them, ‘Who goes to the doctor for a cure? Those who are well or those who are sick? I have not come to call the ‘righteous,’ but those who are sinners and bring them to repentance.”’ Jesus did not speak like this to the crowds He was teaching but to the religious leaders and scholars who were clueless about what He was doing.

I lingered over these verses today as the Holy Spirit revealed to me how repentance was teaching people about the kingdom of God so they could change the way they think about God and His kingdom. The crowds/sinner were “ignorant” in the eyes of the religious leaders, but they were teachable and open to the words of Jesus. The crowds want to know the truth that will set them free, the same was true then and the same is true now. The enemies of the gospel of the kingdom are not the crowds, the sinners, it is the religious who think they know too much.

Coming Through You

There are so many things people ask other people to pray for. Healing, prosperity, family, marriage, children, company, church, you name the issue the request has been asked by us and to us. Praying for others is a joy, because when the answer comes God winks at you and you smile as you listen to the testimony of what God did for someone else. The cycle of blessing that comes from praying for people is a joy that is hard to describe it must be experienced.

One of the prayers that many have prayed for our nation is that people would wake up. We as a nation have a history of awakening, revival, healing, deliverance and salvation. We have seen stadiums filled, streets filled, churches filled with people who are hungry to worship, pray and know the word of God. Our history is rich with the desire for God and those seeds are still in the soil of this nation; still in the hearts of people all around you, despite what you see and hear on the news and social media.

I was praying Psalm 24 this morning and the Passion Translation speaks in such a way that it stops me in my reading to enjoy the presence of God. Listen to verse 7 “Wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you.”

A nation is about to awaken and when it does God is about to come through her in a way that will even shock her. Friends, if you have never experienced God coming through you, it is an experience of the likes nothing can compare. John 4 says, “Rivers of living water will flow from your belly.” God coming through you is because God is in you. He is about to open doors in your belly that is going to water the nations and you will be in awe of what God does through you. You are the living gateway and the King of Glory is about to come through you, because He is living in you.
