Era of Proximity

November 20-30, 2023 was going to be a dream fulfilled as I was given a trip to Israel by my parents. They said, we sense it is time for you to go to Israel and we want to send you. The trip was booked back in the Spring with a runway of many months for my heart to marinate on the idea of walking on the land I read about everyday. I remember telling a friend about this trip and she declared, this trip will be a demarcation in your life that changes everything for you. I knew it was going to be true. When I got the email late October that due to the war in Israel it was not safe for us to go, so the trip was cancelled my heart sank. I knew it was the right decision, but I was really wanting to go on this trip. November 20th arrived, knowing I was supposed to be flying to Israel that day and again my heart was saddened by the reality I was not going. This week was going to to be a demarcation in my life. I was so excited to go, so the disappointment was real.

Little did I know, God was going to change something in my life not in Israel but in my heart. It was a demarcation week of the likes I did not see coming. Those words my friend Marcella Mitchell spoke over me in her kitchen about the trip to Israel are happening, just not in the place I thought it would. The Lord has walked me through a door, not to a nation I long to visit, but through a door in the spirit that is revealing things to me about the power of proximity in a way I have never seen or heard before. We have lived such distant lives from God and from each other, because pain, wounds, hurts, tells us to isolate from each other, but God says it is in community that we heal with one another.

Intimacy in community is the power of proximity that is going to be the mark of this era. The most vulnerable and powerful thing you can say to someone else is I need you in my life. We have experienced so much distance for so many years, but God is walking us through the door of proximity and intimacy for our healing. Isolation and distance does not work, we have tried it, now proximity and intimacy is being released to us and it is going to be the demarcation that changes our lives forever. Welcome to the era of proximity.

Proximity Revolution

We have been in a slow demolition of the doctrines of men that have created distance between God and people and people and people. This slow demolotion has been going on for years, but enough of the faulty, antiquated structure we have found so much “false sense of security” in, is giving way….finally. It is like a veil that has been placed over our eyes so we cannot see the truth that will set not just some free, but all of us free to see.

What God Himself is walking us into is beyond anything we have ever experienced. We were born into a system of religion that has baptized us in methods, opinions of man, clever pithy sayings and ideas, promises that never came true and beliefs that are not biblical. The whitewash is being removed, the reality of falsity is being revealed and it is going to bring a culture shock to the nations of the likes we cannot even understand.

When Israel left Egypt after 430 years, they had only known Egyptian culture. When its all you know, it seems right, until you are brought into another culture of which you have no frame of reference. This is the reality we are about to face. A culture we did not know was available, a truth we did not realize we had not seen or heard. It is going to be an international revolution of the God kind. The echo is going to become a fading sound and the kingdom is going to manifest and march on.

The mark of this revolution will not be war, famine, disease, affliction, persecution or the rapture, it is going to be a revolution of proximity to God and to people. We are being led into a PROXIMITY REVOLUTION. Proximity to each other and to God is going to unlock the power that Jesus walked in. We will see miracles, signs and wonders not from a distance, but up close and personal. The closer we get to each other and to God the more kingdom activity we will see. This proximity revolution will draw people into community in a way we have never seen before. It will not be a program or a method, it will be organic, unique and creative for there will be no two of the same communities. What God is doing is a PROXIMITY REVOLUTION that will alter the culture of nations. Proximity is power!!!!
