Many recognize we are not where we were, but we are not yet where we are going. Other realize, we know what has been, but are unsure of what is coming. Some are pointing to another wave of salvations, some are pointing to another visitation, and some are not sure what to call it. But everyone that has eyes to see and ears to hear know something of the likes we have never seen before is about to happen in the body of Christ on earth. Names like harvest, revival, outpouring, reformation, awakening, and even revolution have all been thrown around, but no clear picture of what is coming has taken hold in the most amplified voices in our nation and the Christian world. People with platforms, pulpits and places to proclaim the message, are not saying, yet, what God is speaking to the ground troops. People who do not have platforms other than Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo or Soundcloud are saying what God is doing, but their voice is yet to be amplified on a large scale, but God is about to turn up the volume on these people’s voices, for they are speaking the same thing, for they are hearing the same voice, for they all have the same head over the church, Jesus the Christ.

These men and women are not seeking to be seen or heard, they are seeking to be faithful. They have allowed the fire of His presence to purify their character, they have learned to walk in His ways, they have sought the face of a man, not the applause of people or the wealth of another. They are the ones who made it through the narrow gate that leads to life, they are the ones who are living in childlike dependence and they are hearing the mysteries of the kingdom, for they have been mining the depths of God’s heart and soaring into the throne room of God’s courts. These people have used their patio as their platform, their prayer closet as their war room, their car as their sanctuary, and they have learned how to commune with the King of kings. They are without title, without system, without the trappings of religion, they are free to sing a little louder, pray a little longer, and linger like a lover. They have learned what it means to become one with Him in spirit and in truth. These are the coming ones who will preach the gospel of the kingdom.

God is about to unlock the third fold of His threefold message of the kingdom. It is nothing new to God, nor to history, but it will be new to our generation. It will build on the past and lead us into the future. It is not a competing message, it is a completing message. I will complete the gospel of the kingdom message, it will mature the body of Christ, it will cause us to exponentially increase in the prosperity of our soul (3 John 2). Are you ready for more of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven?

In the 1500’s Martin Luther led a Salvation Reformation. He preached that we are saved by faith, not by works. It was a reformation that changed the way we view salvation. In the 1900’s we had a Visitation Reformation led by William Seymour. God restored the Holy Spirit’s power and operation in the lives of believers. It was a powerful addition to the salvation reformation. Now, we are on the verge of another reformation, a Habitation Reformation. A habitation reformation is going to reveal to us that we are called to be ONE with Christ, according to John 14, 15, 16 this is the desire of Jesus Christ, that we would be One as He and His Father are One. The habitation reformation is going to bring us into oneness with Christ. This will be adding to the salvation reformation and the visitation reformation, not replacing it.

What the Lord showed me is that the salvation reformation was like Passover, everyone must come through the blood shed on the cross to be saved; next he revealed to me that the visitation reformation was like Pentecost, everyone is to be filled with the Holy Spirit, operating in power and speaking in tongues; and the Lord said, the habitation reformation will be like Tabernacles, everyone is invited into oneness, but just like salvation and visitation, not everyone will want to engage in it. This habitation reformation, will complete the cycle of the feasts of the Lord and make us complete as the body of Christ. Remember, Ephesians 4 says, we were given 5-fold leaders to train us, equip us and deploy us, so we may be mature and complete lacking nothing. The habitation reformation voices are about to arise in the earth and we will see a habitation reformation like nothing we have seen before in our generation. There is about to be people who literally have become one with Christ in character, power, authority and joy. We are on the verge of a habitation reformation!

While in prayer this morning, the Lord and I were discussing a holy visitation. What sparked this conversation was a friend of mine in Hutchinson, KS said on Facebook, “Is anyone else done with all this rain?” It was an innocent question, but Johnny Enlow in his blog about the Kentucky Derby and how God is speaking to us prophetically through that race said, the odds of Country House winning was 65-1 and the number 65 is significant. Johnny, then said we should read all of Psalm 65. Well, I did, and what I read in there was “You visit the earth and water it, you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it. You water its ridges abundantly, you settle its furrows; you make it soft with showers, you bless its growth. You crown the year with Your goodness, and your paths drip with abundance. They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing.” Therefore, I was thanking God for all the rain that has been falling, for the rain is God visiting the earth with abundance.

The idea of a holy visitation language is not new, for Rita Springer wrote a song called Holy Visitation, but the wording that God used with me in prayer that was new, is a Fire Convocation. He said to me, WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF A HOLY VISITATION AND A FIRE CONVOCATION. A holy visitation sounded like God coming down as the Holy One of Israel, as the God of heaven yet again touching earth. We as believers long for a holy visitation, it sounds like revivals we have either heard of in the past or been involved in. But when God added the words Fire Convocation, I knew we were entering into some new territory. To start, I had to brush up on what a convocation was and it is a large formal gathering in either the academic or ecclesiastical realms. In this month of graduations, that play on words is brilliant, but that is our God.

What else is brilliant, is that we are in the shadow of Passover on our way to Pentecost on the Biblical calendar. I am not predicting a date, but I do think we are in the right season for what God is calling a holy visitation and a fire convocation. For Passover was a holy visitation as the spotless lamb of God was crucified for the sins of the world. The blood of Jesus alone makes us holy, so a holy visitation sounds like people that have yet to get a revelation that Jesus Christ is Lord, may have their eyes opened as this holy visitation manifests on earth. Then with Pentecost only 32 days away as of this writing, we are set for a fire convocation. If you remember, the apostles, Mary, the mother of Jesus, the other women and Jesus brother’s were all in the upper room (Acts 1:13-14), were in prayer and supplication. They did not know a fire convocation was going to happen like that, but they were obeying the last command Jesus gave them, which was to stay in Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father (Acts 1:4). They obeyed and they stayed!

Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the verge of a holy visitation and a fire convocation. This is what the Lord told me, but I like to listen for the echo, from others who are hearing the same thing and today, May 8, 2019, Mario Marillo put out a blog titled “On The Verge”. You can’t make this stuff up. Mario says, “I feel something stirring that man cannot stop. I believe we are on the verge of the explosion of divine miracles.” Sounds like a holy visitation and a fire convocation to me, what about you? I believe it is high time we pray and supplicate before God for a holy visitation and a fire convocation. Our nations, our families, our friends, our finances, our fellowships, need this more than we know, but God who initiates this idea says, WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF A HOLY VISITATION AND A FIRE CONVOCATION!

On Thursday morning, while doing my prayer time and bible reading, I was praying through Psalm 108 and as I reflected on the majesty and glory of God I was invited into a encounter like I had never experienced before. I saw myself dissolving into dust particles on a molecular level, so no flesh was left, no bones were there, I literally was dissolving is the only way I can describe it. Then as I was dissolving, I saw that I was being absorbed into a Being, that I knew was Yahweh, the God of heaven and earth. The dissolving of me was being absorbed into Him. As I watched this take place, John 17 came to my mind, in which Jesus prays, Father, the glory which You gave me I have given them that they may be one just as we are one.

Once I was physically gone, what was left on the ground, which I knew was what was inside of me, was a vertical black safe, it was probably 5 ft tall and 3 ft wide. There was both a combination lock and a wheel on the door of this safe. As I looked at the safe/vault looking structure, I asked the Lord, what is that? I got no response, I lingered with Him in this encounter, but stillness, silence, nothing more to see, nothing more to hear. When the encounter finished I wrote it down in my journal and continued to ponder it throughout the day.

On Thursday night, Glory of Zion was beginning their Passover weekend of services, so I tuned in online at 7pm, the guest speaker for the night was Jane Hamon, a prophetess, and she said, in 2012, the Lord gave her a prophetic vision about a safe/vault and now 7 years later, we have come full circle and God is unlocking this safe/vault. She even described it and it was the same safe/vault in my vision. My mouth was on the floor as I felt the Lord wink at me. This is what I saw and the Lord was saying, it is being unlocked so access to the treasures within can be released.

What I have learned since Thursday, after talking to some friends about this experience and spending some more time in the word, listening for more about this encounter, the Lord showed me is, just as Isaiah cried in chapter 6, woe is me, I am undone (dissolved), when He saw the Lord, that as we see the Lord, we are going to recognize our smallness and hear the invitation into His majesty, but to do so, we must become one with Him.  In John 11:44, where Lazarus has come out of the grave, and Jesus says, “Loose him and let him go!” this word loose in the Greek means to dissolve. I was stunned, the Lord is releasing us from the limitations and restrictions that have bound us. We are dissolving into Oneness with Him and this is unlocking treasures untold. My friends, we are living in a new era, as Dutch Sheets has said so many times. God is teaching us, that the more we understand His nature, the easier it is for us to let go of self and become One with Him.

There is no God is my co-pilot, nor are we in partnership with Him. The Lord has been and always will be after oneness with us. To become one, we have be dissolved, so we can be absorbed.

Do you know what it means to harmonize? Have you ever sung in a choir? Or done a duet? Whether your musical or not, the need to learn to harmonize is a basic social skill that most of us do, knowingly or unknowingly. Harmonizing is the ability to blend your sound with the sound of others in order to create a new sound that has a pleasing effect. People who are good listeners are good at harmonizing, for they know how to blend their thoughts with the thoughts of the one that is speaking, so the two thoughts intertwine or complement each other. “The term harmony derives from the Greek ἁρμονία harmonia, meaning “joint, agreement, concord”, from the verb ἁρμόζω harmozō, “(Ι) fit together, join”. To harmonize, means you have to be a listener and a learner, so you can join the sound that is being released.

Jesus was a master at harmonizing with His Father. While in a discussion with the religious leaders of His day, Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.  For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” Jesus understood the sound the Father was releasing from heaven and He harmonized with that sound from the earth.

Now let’s look at harmonizing between heaven and earth with this verse, which has been quoted so many times. “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:18-20). Can you hear it? Can you hear how heaven is harmonizing with earth and how we are called to harmonize with each other? Our Father, which art in heaven loves to release sounds for us to harmonize with Him on. He is in heaven, we are on earth and yet if we will harmonize with Him, we can create one sound that is pleasant to hear.

God is a speaking Spirit. He loves to talk. He loves to release sounds from His throne. As we take more time to listen to the sound He is releasing, we will find that unity in the body of Christ is not as difficult as we thought, but we must harmonize with Him. Division comes from us wanting to take the lead, rather than us joining the sound He is releasing. When we harmonize with Him, we will release a sound that will not only cause people to resonate with the sound, but all of creation will recognize the sound. Will you become one who learns how to listen, so you can join the choir and begin to harmonize with Him? He is the sound we are harmonizing with. He is the one who is our leader, we are the ones called to be the listeners. When we do this, we will find that we are harmonizing with Him.

When we go to the doctor for a yearly checkup, many times they will take an x-ray. What the x-ray shows is things that the doctor cannot see by just looking at the person. The point of an x-ray is to see realities that are invisible to the naked eye. When the Lord was looking for a new king of Israel, He said to the prophet Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:7, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” I think it is safe to say, Yahweh has x-ray vision, for He see’s things that man cannot see.

While in prayer this morning, the Lord showed me the x-ray results of my internal life. I was pleasantly surprised by what He revealed to me, so I asked Him, why my external life (finances, family, ministry, etc.) does not reflect well what is going on inside of me internally? (His answer is what prompted this blog). He said, “I have been doing an internal work in my leaders, so that no matter what is happening around them externally, they will not be moved internally.”

A portion of the body of Christ has been under internal construction. This was an invitation they said yes to! The battles have been fierce, the questions have been many, the external situations have been limited in their success, but the internal work has been significant. For those who have been under internal construction, the Lord is going to do a spiritual x-ray on you, so you can see the strength, the beauty and the authority He has built in you. To those, who have been building their external life financially, physically, promotionally, the Lord is going to reveal to you, what you look on the inside as well. Not to shame you, but to invite you into some internal construction.

The Lord is going to do a spiritual x-ray on His people, for some are internally sick, anemic and malnourished. Not because they don’t go to church, but because they have not valued the word of God, prayer and obedience. Reading the Bible, prayer and obedience are the three main ingredients needed to become inside strong. If you add, fasting, worship, praise (both alone and corporately) and communion, you will grow exponentially. We cannot grow inside strong, if we do not get the Word of God inside of us, prayer and praise coming out of us, and obedience operating through us.

The x-ray is just to reveal the truth about what is going on inside of us, because what people see on the outside is very rarely what is going on in the inside. Look at people who are rich or famous, but are a mess on the inside; look at physically healthy-looking people, who are financially bankrupt or emotionally unstable. You don’t have to look far to see that people are not inside strong, are not at peace internally, and are not living fearlessly. If we as the church are going to help the harvest, we must be inside strong. This is why God is doing a spiritual x-ray, because He wants us to be inside strong.

Now listen to Matthew 7:21-27 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and, in your name, perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

The x-ray results will show you what God sees, but remember, it is not to shame you, for He loves you, it is to help you know the truth that will set you free to become inside strong.

Who are you? No really, who are you? The enemy has sought to distort who people are and his narrative is seeking to pick up steam. People are not sure their gender; their sexual orientation; their color; and the list goes on. Whoever would have thought this would have even come into our mainstream discussions? These narratives have been in heart of the enemy for millennia, he just waited until the opportune time to release them into the narrative, but God has a narrative that is greater, stronger, more powerful than any deceptive narrative the enemy is seeking to propagate. You see, the enemy has three goals, to steal, to kill and destroy (John 10:10), he does this by getting us to buy into his deceptive narrative, so he can control us, but God through Jesus has come to set the captives free from this demonic narrative. This is not some reactionary plan the Lord had to devise when the enemy released this narrative. Rather it is an ancient truth that was spoken long before even Jesus walked the earth.

King David said in Psalm 139:13-18 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you” (The Voice).

Did you hear what David said? David knows in his knower that God made him. Do you realize, you know God made you, that is why the enemy is trying to change the narrative about who you are as a man or as a woman? Did you hear David when he said that all the days of our life are written in a book before one of them came to be? You are words! You are a scroll! You are designed specifically for this time in history! Is it any wonder, the enemy is trying to distort your identity, for in doing so he thinks he can alter your destiny. But God, knew this was the enemies plan, so when He made you, He wrote your in a scroll, and He made a decree about you, that maybe you never considered before. Listen to what God says…

Isaiah 55:8-12 “My intentions are not always yours, and I do not go about things as you do. My thoughts and My ways are above and beyond you, just as heaven is far from your reach here on earth. For as rain and snow can’t go back once they’ve fallen, but soak into the ground and nourish the plants that grow, providing seed to the farmer and bread for the hungry, so it is when I declare something. My word will go out and not return to Me empty, but it will do what I wanted; it will accomplish what I determined. For you will go out in joy, be led home in peace. And as you go the land itself will break out in cheers; the mountains and the hills will erupt in song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands” (The Voice).

You are words, you are a scroll and you are not going to return to God void, you are going to accomplish what He sent you here to do. All you have to do is agree with the scroll that is written about you. All you have to do is submit to the One who made you. All you have to do is be who you were created to be. But how do you learn this information about yourself, you must read your Bible, you must pray, you must worship, you must spend time with God. He made you words and if you trust Him, you will not return to Him void. And if that is not enough, look at what is awaiting your becoming who you were made to be…

Romans 8:19 “For all of creation is waiting, yearning for the time when the children of God will be revealed” (The Voice).

You are words and all of creation is waiting on you, let’s stop resisting and start receiving the truth that will set us free!
