I love it when the prophetic catches up with the natural. It is a convergence of the likes you cannot describe, especially if you have a prophetic word on your life, or if there is a prophetic word on a nation that you know about. The whole point of the prophetic is not to speak into now time but to speak of a coming time. Now time prophetic words according to 1 Corinthians 14 are for exhortation, encouragement and comfort, those happen in now time, but when a prophetic word that has a future reality is spoken, it is a declaring the end from the beginning word, so you have something to hold onto while you walk out the process to its fulfillment. If you are still in the prophetic process, keep walking, a convergence is coming.

Yesterday I told you everything changed the other day, when the shot that was heard around the world was released. The change that happened was we moved from the Matthew 16 gates to the Proverbs 14 gate. It is truly a new day for the nations and the manifestations will continue and increase, for they shifted in the spirit first, but now we are seeing it and hearing of it in the natural.

While praying this morning, I sensed four shifts we are going to see and hear. What I hear is we have gone from rapture to reigning on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6); we have moved from flippant and flaunting to the revealing of the foundation of righteousness and justice (Psalm 89); we will see a change from flipping over tables to setting tables in the presence of our enemies (Psalm 23); and there has been a move from throwing stones to the Chief Cornerstone has been placed for building (Ephesians 2).

This change has been gradual, but now is picking up momentum in a significant way. The old ways of doing church, life and government are over, the new is here, we must pivot or we will miss what God is doing in this hour in reality. The narrative has shifted and people are not going back to the old, they are rushing full steam ahead into the new. I hear the sound!!!!

Everything changed the other day. Did you hear the shot heard around the world? Could you hear what the spirit was saying amidst all the voices of the media in both the world and the church? God will never shout over all the other voices trying to prove they prophesied it; they saw it; they know who did it. No, the Holy Spirit will whisper just like He was not in the wind, the earthquake or the fire in the days of Elijah, but He was the gentle whisper that caused Elijah to pull his cloak over his face and stand at the mouth of the cave (1 Kings 19:11-13). Did you hear the still small whisper in the midst of all the noise? If not it is okay, the voices are loud and they all want to be heard, the Holy Spirit whispers and sends you to your knees not to the streets.

Here is what I heard. I heard the Lord say we have changed gates. The church has notoriously been in a defensive posture living off of Matthew 16 which says, “And I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Well, His church is built, it may not look like you think, it may not be who you think, but God has built His church not out of brick and mortar, not on the back of men’s names, but in the hearts of His people. He may not have the largest church all gathered in one building, but the Lord has the largest church in the hearts of men and women world wide and they have heard the the Lord say, “Will the real church please stand up.” And stand up they have. So, we are no longer building a church at the gates of hell. We have changed gates.

We are now the gate of the righteousness, we now, with the Lord are in charge, we now are on the offense. Proverbs 14:19 says, “The evil will bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.” The gates have shifted from a church at the gates of hell to the evil bowing down at the gates of the righteous. It is an Esther moment in history, the tables have turned, the wicked are now bowing at the gates of the righteous. Everything changed and now nothing will be the same again. We, the church, are the gate of the righteous and the wicked are bowing down. Can you see it, can you hear it? It came as a whisper, because authority has nothing to do with volume and righteousness exalts a nation.

Words are seeds and those seeds are either producing in us a harvest of life or a harvest of death. In seed form the words we listen to may not feel like they are causing us to come alive or to decay, but those seeds, those words are working on us every moment of every day for life or for death. When we were little kids we were told becareful little eyes what you see, becareful little ears what you hear. These were seeds of life, that have been choked out by seeds of death, because the older we get the more we seed ourselves with the news, social media, pop psychology, self-help and so many other seeds of death that we do not even consider may be producing death in us, because they are only seeds not the harvest.

Jesus spoke a parable in Matthew 13 saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The enemy has come at night, when we were sleeping, when we were not careful what we heard and has sown seeds of death in us and now we are seeing the harvest of what was sown. Fear is a seed of death that has many fruits which are producing decay in our lives. The Lord of the harvest is sending workers into your life to bind and burn the weeds, so the wheat can be brought into the barn, but you must be willing to let the workers do their work, for they can see the weeds the enemy sowed, and they are there to deweed you if you will let them. For we were created to live and not die!!!!

It is time for an outfit change!!!!! Someone that wears a winter coat in the summer is identified as one that does not know what season we are in. Someone who wears a swimsuit to a ski resort reveals they do not know what location they are in. In the natural this sounds so obvious to us, but what we don’t realize is that in the spirit it is so obvious to the Lord that many of us are in desperate need of an outfit change, for we are not wearing what is appropriate for the season we are in.

Psalm 102:25-26 says “Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.” The garment of despair is worn out; the garment of debt is worn out; the garment of sickness is worn out; the garment of defeat is worn out; it is time for an outfit change. God is changing your clothes in this moment and He is wanting to put on your new garments for this new season.

We have been told we are in an Isaiah 61 season, but how many people have not put on the new garment? Verse 3 says, “To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” We have been given a garment of praise, it is a new outfit for a new season. It is time for an outfit change!!!!

The season has changed, it is time for an outfit change. Here the voice of God calling out to you…”The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, There is change in the air.” (S of S 2:11-13)

Don’t deviate from design!!!!!

Did you know we were made for love, joy, peace, grace, community, power, authority, rulership, righteousness, prosperity and so many more things? We were literally made for these things. We were not made for strife, anger, immorality, death, depression, anxiety, fear, defeat, poverty, sickness or any other thing we have accepted as a normal part of life. We were not made for these things, that is why we are exhausted, because we are fighting against that which is seeking to deviate us from design.

While walking the dog this morning the Lord and I were talking about who He is and how He walked on the face of the earth. He revealed to me that He never capitulated to anything that would cause Him to deviate from design. He saw a blind man, so He said, “What do you see?” He met a dead girl, and He said, “Talitha Koum! Little girl wake up!” He encountered a demoniac and He said, “What is your name?” Jesus never capitulated to any situation He encountered, for He never deviated from His design and today He told me, we are never to deviate from our design.

We were created for liberty, power, authority, love, prosperity, wholeness and forgiveness. We sing, we were made for more, but I would say we were made by design and we have deviated. We don’t need more of anything, we need to access what we were designed for. Jesus never deviated from His design, and He always remained in design no matter what He encountered. I hear the call of God to stop capitulating to situations that come on your path, you were created for health, love, joy, peace, righteousness, prosperity, hope, you were created for the kingdom culture, stop deviating from design, stop capitulating to another kingdom. You weren’t designed for the world, you were made for the kingdom. Don’t deviate from design, you were made for this!

In the world’s system you need a paper document that tells of all the work you have done in order to get hired for a job or get promoted to a position. In the world we call that a resume or CV. People are proud of their résumé’s, their CV’s for it shows their accomplishments in business or ministry. On a typical paper document you will find educational qualifications, work experience, or even certifications one has received. People are proud of this paper document and use it to get hired in a world system that gives wages based on what that paper says.

In the kingdom system you need people as your documentation, for people tell of the work you have done, the love you have shown, the fruit you have bore. If you want to increase your influence in the kingdom, if you want a different position in the kingdom, God looks at the hearts of people you have served in order to determine what rewards you receive, what promotions you get, what influence you gain or what position you obtain. In the kingdom, Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:1-3 “Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”

There are two types of resumes on earth, those on paper and those written on people’s hearts. The question we must ask, the documents we must analyze, the résumé’s/CV’s we must update are people not paper. How are you treating people? How are you resourcing people? Who is on your resume that could represent you? Paper is what gets you a position with men, but people are who God is listening to when He is deciding where to position you in the kingdom. People are God’s treausure and if you don’t have a people resume you will not get a kingdom position, for the kingdom is all about people.

Droughts drain resources which results in famines that cause people to move in order to be positioned for the next outpouring. No one likes a drought, no one wants a famine, no one wants to move, this is why we resist the ways of God because we do not understand them. We only see in part, the part we are in, we struggle to rise above our current situation to see a big picture reality. We get stuck in the frame we are currently in and cannot see the movie that God is playing on a screen we do not see. We want out of the drought now, we want the famine to end, we do not want to move, because we are uncomfortable and in our discomfort we do not realize we are being brought to a place of abundance that will blow our minds. We grumble, we complain, we cry, we fight, all because we cannot see past our noses. We all do this, but thank God for His mercy that is new every morning, truly great is His faithfulness, that despite us, He is moving us into something we cannot even fathom is possible.

James 5:17-18 says “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.” We have been through a 3 1/2 year drought, that many know personally the financial drain, the emotional strain and the spiritual pain of this past season, but the drought is ending and the rain has begun to fall. Fields are starting to receive rain; people are beginning to see this was not to harm us but to help us come out together into a wide open space.

Friends, this is the word for now…Psalm 66:12 “Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.” We are on the edge of a place of great abudance, fear not, I can see the land of abundance and it is so great, we will forget the pain of the last seasons, for we will be so busy rejoicing in our God and how good He truly is.

Can you imagine being a well that never runs dry? Can you picture yourself being a river of resource that never runs out? Have you ever considered the idea of an eternal fountain of grace springing up out of you that distributes to all who God places on your path? It sounds so foreign to us because we have been taught limitations rather than expansive dimensions. We have been raised small and told big dreams don’t come true, at least not for me, not for you. But what if I told you, everything is about to change and for it to change you just need one thing? Would it be too good to be true?

The Lord has been speaking to me about love, not human love, I mean the love of God. God’s love that is an eternal well inside of us; a fountain of grace that springs up and out of us. He has been showing me that when I do things for love not money, I am a river of resource that never runs out. However, if something is done for money, then it is limited. Think about it, how much are you really worth? Are you paid what you are worth or do you settle for the amount someone else thinks you are worth and then build your life around that amount? In the Bible, Judas valued Jesus at 30 pieces of silver, that is what Judas and the Pharisees deemed Jesus was worth, 30 pieces of silver.

If Jesus operated from the worth people placed on Him, He would have never went to the cross, He never would have declared Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Jesus operated out of love, so there was no end to what He could give, even His own life. Love gives far more than money ever could or would. Money has limited us, but love is what liberates us. Love never runs dry, but if it grows cold, every resource it used to give dries up and quickly. You know what you love by what you resource. We are called to be an eternal resource, but to be that, we must be lovers. Money increases and money decreases, but love is an ever flowing stream that never runs dry. Keep your love on and you will never cease to be a fountain of grace, a river of resource. Love never runs out!

Love is not love! Not all love is created equal. Jesus said, No greater love than this, than he lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Then in Proverbs 7:10, 18 says, “Behold the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart…come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love.” Friends, love is not love. One love is to lay down your life for another person, another love is transactional and they are not the same.

I was reminded this morning of the phrase, “Do for love, what you would not do for money.” We have been so dipped in a value for money, we have lost our love for God and people. Love that lays down its life, like John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world He gave His one and only begotten Son…” this kind of love is the highest value in the world. But money, transactional love, has so dipped us in its system of control, we do not even recognize it, but many lives are ruled by it.

The move of God happening right now is a move of love of the likes we do not even comprehend. It is a pulling us out of a system of transactions and inviting us into a system of love that lays down its life for one another, no strings attached. We are so suspicious of this kind of love, because it is foreign to us. We don’t know how to love without transaction and we don’t know how to receive a love that is not transactional. But God!!!!

We have grown cold, distant, exhausted and anxious because we have valued a transactional love, not a lay down our lives love. Love is not love, one is transactional and the other is laid down, no strings attached, just because of who you are as a person kind of love. Friends, the love revolution of the 70’s was transactional, but the love demonstration of the 2024’s and beyond is going to heal places and people in ways nothing else can. Faith, hope and love remain, but the greatest of these is love.

I have been following the bread crumbs this week and it is leading me to the same word God has been speaking to me for years now. I would love for this word to be another word, but if it is what God is saying, it is what I am saying. One of the things about the prophetic, is that we love to hear prophetic words, but we do not linger with them until they are fulfilled. God is not in a hurry to fulfill what He speaks, but He sure does love to tell people who will listen what He is thinking and doing. Think of it as a friendship. Your best friend wants to share their heart with you, not because what they shared they are going to do right at that moment, but they wanted you to know what they are thinking. When we listen to someone else’s heart, they love to share what is on the their heart. For me the prophetic is hearing the voice of God, listening to the heart of God and obeying the voice of God. It is a friendship with God.

What the Lord has been sharing with me all week long is that Babylon is falling, but He has added and falling fast. It started with a countdown that He showed me in three separate flash dreams; then he brought me to 2 Kings 13 and said “Strike the ground and it will be defeated once and for all!” Another day I was brought to the book of Haggai and He said, “I am shaking everything so the treasure can come into my temples. Remember you are the temple.” Then this morning, I hear “follow the bread crumbs” and immediately I think Hansel and Gretel. Hansel and Gretel are siblings who are abandoned in a forest and fall into the hands of a witch who lives in a bread, cake, and sugar house. The witch, who has cannibalistic intentions, intends to fatten Hansel before eventually eating him. However, Gretel saves her brother by pushing the witch into her own oven, killing her, and escaping with the witch’s treasure. (Wikipedia)

You may say this is whatever, but I know Babylon is falling (Revelation 18) and falling fast. I am striking the ground; agreeing with the shaking out of the heavens and the earth so His temple can be filled with glory and that the bread crumbs are leading to the killing of the spirit of witchcraft and the plundering of her house (Proverbs 6). It won’t be long now, but I just wanted to remind you, Babylon, Babylon is falling and falling fast!!!! Follow the bread crumbs they lead to the Bread of Life who will never let the righteous be forsaken or their children begging bread.
