Words may be invisible if they are spoken but they are carried on the wings of the wind and once they will accomplish what they were sent forth to do they become visible. Praying the word of God is powerful, because those words linger in the atmosphere until they are fulfilled. Prophecy is no different, when men and women speak what God is saying, though that word tarry, it shall come to pass for if God said it, we will see the fulfillment of it.  

God spoke to Abram in Genesis 12:1-3 telling him, “Now the Lord said to Abram Go from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you into a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” This was a powerful promise, because at that time his wife was barren and he had no children, so he waited and waited and waited until that promise came to pass, literally twenty-five years later. Is it any wonder Abraham is called the father of faith?  

In my blog called The Book of Ezra Blueprint and subsequent video titled We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, I shared about how God revealed to me that we are in Ezra 4, which is a divine pause in the visibility of the promise and how the activation of that promise was going to come from the prophets, specifically Haggai and Zechariah, for that is what the book of Ezra says. In my video I shared on a prophetic word Haggai gave regarding the purifying of the gold and the refining of the silver for God is going to use His resources to restore righteousness. Well, since that video I have been reading, very slowly, the prophet Zechariah. 

Zechariah, is one of the prophets that activated the continuation of the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem and the Lord has likened this to the rebuilding of America and the nations. We are in a divine pause, because just like the Ezra blueprint reveals, we are in a situation where our leader is not visible, but many have reason to believe is still very aware of all that is going on. The challenge is, many people want to see justice for the injustice that was served against him in the past two months. I mean the many of the prophets have conceded that they missed it, but there is a remnant that refuses to let the prophetic words fall to the ground, so we need God to activate His word in the nations in our generation and I believe He is doing just that.   

The flying scroll of Zechariah 5:1-4 is the prophetic activation. Listen to what the Lord spoke to Zechariah and lets see if this aligns with where we are right now, especially in America, but we may see a mirror of this in Myanmar as well playing out. “I raised my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll. And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.” Then he said to me, “This is the curse (oath) that is going forth over the face of the entire land; everyone who steals certainly will be purged away according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears falsely will be purged away according to the writing on the other side.  I will make it go forth,” declares the Lord of armies, “and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and destroy it with its timber and stones.” 

I believe God has activated the flying scroll and the purging that has taken place is about to become visible. We watched a thief take an oath for a position that was stolen not given. Do you really think God just winks at that? Righteousness and justice are the foundation of God’s throne (Psalm 89:14); He is the judge of all the earth (Genesis 18:25); He told us that when the thief is caught, he must pay sevenfold even if it costs him his whole house (Proverbs 6:31). God doesn’t wink at injustice, remember the widow who pestered the unrighteous judge until she got justice and then Jesus said, “Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?” (Luke 18:1-7). God is not being silent even though we have not seen what He’s been doing, at least not yet.  

The flying scroll spoken of by the prophet Zechariah has been activated in the earth realm, justice is going to go from covert operations to overt implications. God Himself is going to prove that His word is true and that He is not a man that He should lie! We are about to see God’s justice on display for the flying scroll has already begun the purge long before today. The best is yet to come! 

Proverbs 4:18- 19 “The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until the full day, but the way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.”

I love that this Proverb tells us the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter until the full day, but the path of the wicked is like darkness. Because the word of God is truth why are we being told to fear some gloom and doom event at the end of the age. In Matthew 24 Jesus was telling them about the coming Roman invasion into Jerusalem for the destruction of the temple. The temple would be destroyed because it was no longer needed as a house of sacrifice. Jesus‘s death on the cross was the final sacrifice for sin, hence forth no need for a temple that was a house of sacrifice.

We need the Lord to adjust our frequencies so they no longer vibrate according to fear messages and that they begin to vibrate with light when we hear faith messages. The day is getting brighter and brighter for the righteous the day is getting darker and darker for the wicked. As believers in Jesus Christ we are the righteousness of God and we are on the path that is getting brighter and brighter until the full day. This my friends is reason to rejoice, to walk by faith, and have no fear of the dark.

In 2015 the Lord sent me on a prophetic adventure to Atchinson, KS and while there He said to me, “In the building of this nation it began with the rivers, then came the trails, from there they laid the rails, which culminated in the roads.” I said to the Lord, where are we going next for every generation must have a frontier to conquer. The Lord answered me saying, “The next frontier for America is the realms.”

The Lord reminded me of this today as I was praying Psalm 68:33-34 “To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice. Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel And His strength is in the skies.”

Intercession is pioneering the realms; digital soldiers in the narrative war is a realms battle; Space Force is for conquering the skies; and what fascinates me is the discovery of the “Golden Asteroid” that Elon Musk has been tasked to pursue and launched him to being the richest man in the world.

The Lord said, our next frontier would be the realms and the pioneers have gone there and they are coming back with a report that says, the best is yet to come. The Lord says, “I have been riding upon the highest heavens from ancient times, welcome to the ancient paths” (Jeremiah 6:16). I love how what is ancient to God is new frontier for us. Just one of the many joys of seeking God, He is abundance and He is without end. Keep seeking Him, there is so much to discover!

If someone was looking for an explosion, but God was planning an implosion, there is a high probability they would miss the subtle signs of the planned implosion, all because they had their eyes fixed looking for some big explosion. I wonder how often we miss what God is doing, simply because He is doing something we are not looking for. Selah.

The people in 30AD were looking for a king to come and conquer Rome, put them in positions of power so they could now rule those who ruled them and everyone would live happily ever after, at least if you were of the Jewish aristocracy or one of Jesus’ disciples. They were looking for some major explosion, some fireworks display to take place, so when Jesus came quietly walking through their villages, healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, cleansing the lepers and casting out demons they did not think this was their long-awaited Messiah. But why did they miss what seemed so obvious to us? For the same reason, the great cloud of witnesses is looking down on us realizing many today is making the same mistake they made.

On the earth today we do not have a clear voice speaking to the church saying what time we are living in. When we do not know what time it is, we take any scripture we like and declare this is what God is saying. And honestly, any scripture you quote is what God is saying, however, there are certain times in history where God is doing something in time and He is wanting us to know what time it is. We are living in one of those times, the signs of it are all around us.

1 Chronicles 12:32 says, “From the tribe of Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their kinsmen at their command.” Issachar had the least number of men representing their tribe in David’s army that was being built at Hebron, but they didn’t need many, they only needed to know what time it was. 200 chiefs knew what time it was.

While many in the nations are looking for an explosion to happen, God is preparing for an implosion. On March 26, 2000 in Seattle, WA the Kingdome underwent a controlled demolition. This cement stadium, complete with a cement dome roof, did not explode for the debris would damage nearby buildings and the ground would shake the foundations of the many major company headquarters nearby including Starbucks and Boeing. Therefore, to remove this massive structure they decided to implode it, to minimize damage. God is preparing an implosion in order to minimize damage to people and places around that which is about to be imploded.

The implosion is being prepared covertly, but when the implosion takes place the smoke from the implosion will rise and all will see. Just like with the Kingdome in Seattle, so will be the system of Babylon in the nations around the world. It may look like nothing is happening, but that is because they are preparing an implosion not an explosion.

How do I know we are living in the days of the fall of Babylon? My anchor for this belief is found in what the Lord spoke to me on March 26, 2020 saying, “the thief has been caught.” Then on March 27, 2020, the Lord said, “Call for the fall of the iron and clay kingdom once and for all.” After looking into what Babylon is about, Revelation 18 tells us merchants got rich off of this system which operates in slavery and human trafficking on the waters, as well as a lot of other financial trading opportunities.

One cursory glance at the alternative news and even the main stream media will reveal to you Babylon is falling, but it is not exploding, it is imploding. Can you see it? If you can see the clues of the implosion, you can more easily recognize that the nations who have been in Babylonian captivity is ending. The Lord is removing His people from the Babylonian system and restoring them to His kingdom system on earth as it is in heaven. Remember, for God so loved the world (John 3:16) and the Father gave the nations as Jesus’ inheritance (Psalm 2).

I hear Revelation 18:2, 8, 10 reverberating “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! For this reason, in one day her plagues will come, pestilence, mourning, famine and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong. Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.” We are about to witness the imploding of the Babylonian system for as the prophet Jeremiah was told, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10)

We are about to witness a controlled demolition of the Babylonian system, the fall of the iron and clay kingdom once and for all (Daniel 2) and when it is finished imploding, we will begin the greatest building project of our life. We are going to help build the kingdom of God on earth, which is not a physical temple, but the body of Christ, this kingdom is people of whom Christ Jesus is the head. Truly our best days are in front of us.We are no longer in exile and friends we are about to sing with the great multitude in heaven, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; because His judgements are true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality…and a second time they said, Hallelujah! And the twenty-four elders and four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sits on the throne saying, Amen. Hallelujah!” (Revelation 19:1-4) I can hear the church in one voice saying, THIS IS WHAT FREEDOM FEELS LIKE! TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!!!

Did you know everyone who has the Holy Spirit resident within is anointed by God? The anointing in the New Covenant is the Holy Spirit. It’s not some superpower for only certain people. The evidence of the Holy Spirit in people is the fruit of the spirit they produce, whether seasonal fruits or perpetual fruits.

Did you know the Holy Spirit dwelling in you is the power of God in you? You don’t have to earn it, you have to learn it. It’s like being given a computer, it’s all in there, but it takes time to learn all that the computer can do. Reading the Word of God informs you about Who is in you and activates the power you’ve been given to serve others. It’s not that you lack power, it’s that you may not have yet learned the power you have resident in you.

Twisted dominion manifests in oppression of others, controlling others, lording over others. Biblical dominion serves others. You have been given dominion to be a servant. Exercise your dominion by letting that car get in front of you; by doing the dishes without being told; by holding the door for the person behind you; by forgiving the one who wronged you; by apologizing to the one you snapped at; and the list goes on from simple to challenging.

You, just like Jesus are anointed with the Holy Spirit to do. The Holy Spirit is an abundance of resources for you to be a servant. This is what love looks like and this will change the world.

Acts 10:38 “You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

Don’t settle into what is around you for it will lead to apathy. Rather lift up your eyes about you and see that the Lord has tried us with trials; refined us with fire; brought us through water; and now we are entering into a place of abundance. Shake off the dust of what you’ve been through for that mindset won’t service you where we are going. The days of hunkering down, closing up, and barely making it are behind us. A land of abundance is in front of us. The direction you are looking in is speaking to what you are seeing. Look again, can you see the spacious land ahead of us.

We have come through what is behind us, we are not going back into it. We are going into life, light, freedom, spacious places. Turn your eyes from where you’ve been to where you’re going. The land we are entering into is nothing like where we’ve been. It’s going to require us to think differently, we will need to think life; think abundance; think righteousness; understand peace; and experience joy. Wide open spaces are holy places and this is where we’re going. Come on, it’s going to be better than you could have ever imagined.

Psalm 66:10-12 “For You have tried us, O God;

You have refined us as silver is refined.

You brought us into the net;

You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

You made men ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water,

Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.”

I was out in the garage spraying it down with water to get rid of the dirt and leaves, when I heard the Lord say, “They decreed finish her (America), but I Am about to reveal Myself as the Finisher!” Immediately I heard in the spirit the lyrics from Elevation Worship’s song, I See A Victory, “You take what the enemy meant for evil and you turn it for good, you turn it for good.” America we are about to meet the Finisher in a significant way.

Did you know you are living in the days of the rebuilding of a nation? Do you realize, God chose you to be born for such a time as this in history, so you could witness biblical truth coming alive right before your eyes? Can you recognize the significance of the days in which we are living or has the enemy convinced you, there is nothing to see here? Many people miss the day of their visitation not because they do not want God to visit them, but because they don’t know what to look for, who to listen to, or what to believe. The enemy makes it so noisy that the manifestation of the visitation is unidentifiable to most people.

In the days of Jesus coming to the earth, some stargazers, who historians believe were descendants of Daniel or one of his prophetic schools, were out in the field watching the stars and one star looked out different than all the others. After some research they discovered, this star was an announcement about the birth of Jesus the Christ, the Messiah, who had been prophesied for centuries would come into the world. They were alive during the days of that star! These men, dropped everything they were doing and followed the star, knowing they were born for this moment in history. How do we know all of this, because their journey is recorded in Matthew 2.

What was so challenging for the leaders of Israel, especially the religious leaders of that time is that the star was revealed to some men in a field stargazing, rather than to the titled religious men of the day. To add insult to injury, Jesus revealed Himself to fishermen, tax collectors, prostitutes and nobodies, not to the religious elite. Was Jesus, is God anti-church, anti-temple, anti-synagogue, absolutely not, but to see God and recognize God activity, you have to know the nature of God. Remember, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16). God’s nature does not change, but to many His ways are a mystery.

The mystery of God is hard for many people to understand, mainly because they are expecting Him to come in a church setting where “revival” breaks out, they are not expecting Him to come through anywhere else, and if He does, we miss our time of visitation. Not because God has changed, but because we are so narrow in our understanding of God, His nature and His ways. God brought deliverance to a whole nation through Moses and Moses was not a “five-fold ministry leader”; He brought deliverance to the Jews through a woman who became queen (Esther) by sleeping with the king, not exactly what we would call proper credentials for a move of God.

We will do well to know Isaiah 55:9-11 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so will My word which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”

Now for you that can handle some mystery and like decoding stories to find the principles, truth and ways of God in them, I see a blueprint in the book of Ezra for the days in which we live right now. The book of Ezra is ten chapters and I have made them into ten steps which I believe may unlock the reality of what is going on in day with the seeming disappointment many are sensing in the atmosphere of the nations. Here are the ten steps…

Ezra 1 – First group of exiles return to Jerusalem from Babylon per the decree of Cyrus.

Ezra 2 – The remnant of exiles gather in Jerusalem with the remnant that was still there.

Ezra 3 – The foundation of the nation is re-laid.

Ezra 4 – Enemies arise and accuse causing a ceasing of the rebuilding of the nation

Ezra 5 – Two prophets (Haggai and Zechariah) reactivate the rebuilding of the nation

Ezra 6 – A memorandum is found, confirms the call to rebuild; paid for by the royal treasury.

Ezra 7 – Transference of Wealth from Babylon to Jerusalem

Ezra 8 – Another group of exiles journey from Babylon to Jerusalem

Ezra 9 – The intermingling of Israel with Babylon is exposed, guilty as charged.

Ezra 10 – The exiles gather to repent, cut a new covenant with God and separate themselves

If this blueprint of how God rebuilt Israel as a nation is any indication of what He is doing with the nations today, we are currently in Ezra 4 and the we need to pray for the mouthpieces of God to have their voices amplified so we can hear the words of Zechariah 4:6-10 “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel (governor of Israel) saying, Not by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts. What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace, grace to it! The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel-these are the eyes of the Lord which range to and fro throughout the earth.”

Its been 150 years in captivity for America, but we are coming out and the best is yet to come!

We know Him as the Chief Cornerstone, the layer of foundations, but we are about to meet Him as the Capstone, the Finisher of what He started.

God is about to put a capstone on seasons In our lives; open ended situations in our lives; lingering possibilities in our lives; questions in our lives; get ready we are about to experience a capstone moment. It will be the end of somethings that have been hanging so He can start some new beginnings.

God does not start something He is not going to finish. He does not abandon things midway through. He is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). We have known Him as Chief Cornerstone but we are about to experience Him as Capstone!

He is about to put the capstone on many things.

Westerners see the world in linear fashion, Easterners typically see the world in circular fashion. Depending on where you live, determines your worldview, that is why for Westerners we typically view the word of God from Genesis to Revelation in a linear fashion, therefore, the book of Revelation is the blueprint for the end of the world as we know it. While those in the East may view the Bible as cyclical, so if you read Revelation 21-22 you see how it ties beautifully right back to Genesis 1, and we begin the cycle again. Israel lives cyclically. The feasts of the Lord (Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles) are to remind them of the prophetic seasons of God and how they relate to the harvest seasons. The bible then can be cyclical generationally, monthly, yearly, or even seasonally. Since the bible is the story of the Hebrew people, the Jews, it has a cyclical nature to it and we as Westerners need to learn the cycles of scripture and the cycle of the stories if we are going to accurately understand the world in which we live. Is it any wonder the earth revolves around the sun, cyclical; we have cycles of the moon; and we live on one of many planets that are spheres/circles.

If we can grasp the idea of the cyclical nature of God as revealed in the Scriptures, we can more accurately determine what season we are in. The world is not ending, the rapture is not about to happen, and the second coming of Christ is not just on the other side of some invisible door. How do I know, well there are many scriptures that lay out the prerequisite for Christ’s return to rule on earth, one of which is Hebrews 10:11-13, “Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.” I realize fear sells that is why people promote the rapture, the end of the world and other Matthew 24 agendas, but the Lord is looking for us to overcome, not succumb to the spirits of the age. He’s building a body that overcomes the evil one (Rev.12:11), that stands and resists the devil (Ephesians 6:13-14), that is more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37) because of His sacrifice for our sins.

Now that we have the cyclical nature of God and the call to be overcomers on our mind, let’s consider if we are in an Elijah season on earth right now. What are the clues we see that this could be where we are? Using 1 Kings 18 as our template, we have to begin with the prophet Elijah who was in hiding, being fed by ravens at the Brook Kidron out of the sight of the local leadership, all of the sudden comes into view, to the surprise of everyone. In an Elijah season you will see people who have been trained in the hiding to become visible and vocal.

Another clue we have is that the people were wavering between two opinions based on the voices of two types of prophets. One set of prophets were speaking for Baal/Jezebel, while the other prophet was speaking for Yahweh, the God of Israel. The prophets of Baal were speaking culturally while Elijah was speaking the voice of God. Both voices were familiar to the people, henceforth why the wavering between two opinions. John in Revelation 2 said something similar to the church of Thyitira, “I know your deeds, and your love, faith, service, perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” Notice the Mount Carmel showdown was a war of words, sound familiar?

The third clue we see in this story is the conduct of the prophets of Baal when their god was not answering them. They would cut themselves, rave for hours, jump on the altar, but there was no voice, no one answered them and no one paid attention. The prophets of Baal worked themselves and the people up into a prayer frenzy, thinking the more they performed the more their god would hear them. No matter how long or hard you pray to an idol, it will never answer (Psalm 135). Remember what Jesus said, “When I return will I find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:8). Faith is the access key to God, not frenzied prayer meetings like the prophets of Baal were leading.

We can see, we are right here in the Elijah season, the altars are ready, all the prophets and people are assembled, the king is in attendance and once God hears the voice of Elijah pray, fire is going to fall from heaven and all the people are going to declare the Lord He is God, the Lord He is God, but the fire has not fell yet. We are right now in the place where the people are wavering between two opinions because the prophets are in a war of words. But when Elijah, prays and asks the Father to send the fire, we will all know who is God, for Hebrews 12:28 says, “Our God is an all-consuming fire!”

I know it is a hard place to be right now, you can hear both sides of the prophetic coin, but there is a distinct difference between the Elijah prophets and the prophets of Baal being led by Jezebel, the prophetess. This is spiritual, this is a war of words, this is not a war of genders, races, colors, or parties, this is a war of words, we are in a narrative war and only one narrative is going to rule the airwaves of the nations, but until the fire falls, people will waver between two opinions. But once the fire falls, the people fall and declare Yahweh is God, then the Elijah prophets will destroy the prophets of Baal in prayer and righteousness will exalt the nations. We are at the wavering stage, but Elijah has poured water on the altar, so get ready, the fire is about to fall, I think I see a match in the hand of God.
