The prophets are coming, there is a greater wave of the prophetic that is coming, and there is coming a great outpouring of prophecy,visions, dreams, and revelation, signs, gifts of the Spirit, power of God, prayer, fasting, and Workplace Prosperity upon the church in all nations and in all cities, we will see prophets arise with grace and anointing to see and do signs, and guide the church into the footsteps of destiny, and we will see the apostles moving forth in the signs of an apostles. -(Acts 2:17-18)

This prophetic company has been hidden, being trained by the Holy Spirit, but now the time is upon us, that these outstanding prophets will arise to their holy calling, which is being friends of the Bridegroom, this is the call of all the prophets and apostles. -(LK.5:33-39)

I personal have been speaking about a stronger order of apostles and prophets that will arise to shake the church into the power and glory of God, and their sons and daughters will follow them, we will have generational blessings and ministries that will pass from one generation to the next. -(Eph. 2:20, 3:5)

The church will arise in spiritual gifts, gifts of the Spirit, supernatural signs, and prophecy, the Lord will give us leaders who can lead in grace and liberty that know that they are the servants of Christ. Bishops and administrators will no longer lead the church, instead apostles and prophets with revelation and power. -(1 Cor.12:28)

The arising prophets will begin to arise with prophetic words that will not fall to the ground, there prophetic words will come to pass, they will move in wisdom in the prophetic anointing, as there prophetic words come forth in prophetic fulfillment, the whole church will begin to be release into prophetic fulfillment. As these prophets prophesy the church will fill with the testimony of Jesus, and Christ will be glorify, and worship will arise from our hearts, and as these prophets speak forth the living prophetic word, and as their words come to pass the fear of God will fall on people, however these prophets are humble and have a servant heart. Increase prophetic fulfillment will come upon these prophets and the church. As they prophesy, and prophetic fulfillment happens, signs will come forth from their ministry. -(1 Sam. 3:1-21)

Notwithstanding, these prophets have been train in the school of the Spirit for some time, there are those prophets who are forerunners that the Lord raised them up by Himself, since He could not find a fathers heart, instead these prophets will become mature prophets and become prophetic fathers to the arising school of the prophets, the will of the Lord is to establish a school of the prophets. The prophetic sons and daughters will flow in love and anointing and will walk in the coming prophetic anointing and outpouring. -(1 Sam.10:5-6,9-12, 19:18-24)

You don't just one day say you're a prophet and then go outministering prophetic grace and anointing, instead you allow the Holy Spirit to train and raise you up our in His time, and you allow other prophets and apostles to give you that honor of being called a prophet. -(1 Pet. 5:5-11)

There prophetic ministry that is arising will join to the apostles, prophets will be around the apostolic grace of apostles, apostles and prophets will be in ongoing relationship and fellowship; for the foundation is apostles and prophets. -(Acts 11:27-30,13:1-3,32,35,Acts 16, Acts 21:1-14)

The prophetic ministry will come to the forefronts of the church, the prophetic wisdom and revelation will guide the church with leading apostles, apostles and prophets will be the center leaders of the church, and in the local congregations and the church; apostles,prophets and teachers will be the appointed elders in the house of the Lord. -(1 Cor. 12:28, Eph. 2:20)

Greater Death, Greater Depths

Greater Death, Greater Depths
Deborah A. Gaston
July-13-2008

“By faith Enoch was taken so that he did not experience death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. For it was attested before he was taken away that he had pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5 NRSV)

"My Child, you have prayed to be like Enoch. Many have prayed that same prayer, and many more shall; for, it is a desire that I have placed within those who hunger for Me. But few understand what it really means to "walk with God." Few recognize the level of dying required.

Greater depths require greater death!

It is one thing to say "I want to walk with God like Enoch did." It is quite another thing to die in order to not know death. It is quite another thing to surrender all for the excellency of knowing Me, to be willing to "be not." You quote with joy that you want to know the power of My Son's resurrection. But what about the fellowship of His suffering and conforming to His death?
". . .and he was not found; for God had taken him."

And the same will be said of you, My Child. The enemy will not be able to find you; for, I will have taken you. The naysayers and scoffers will not find you. Those that envy you and seek to dislace you will not find you. The arrows that they shoot to wound your heart will not find you. Those who seek to dishonor or destroy your name, destroy your reputation will not find you; for, you will be lost in Me. Death will not be able to find you; for I will have taken you!

And more importantly the enemy will have nothing in you (John 14:30b); for, I will have taken you!

Set your face like flint. Focus all on Me and My word to you! Make the choice "to be not" remembering that greater depths in Me require a greater death in you."

CONFRONTING THE ENEMY WITHIN
PART 1 of 7

An excerpt from Chapter 5 in David Orton's book,
"Snakes in the Temple: Unmasking Idolatry in Today's Church"

“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may
somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ”
2 Cor 11:2-3 NIV

False self-image
As a teenage ‘hippie’ I experienced a powerful conversion and received a clear call to preach. I
went into ministry training, got married, and at the age of twenty found myself serving the Lord
full-time in one of the fastest growing churches in our city and one of the leading catalysts for
renewal. I was passionately in love with Jesus and the world lay at my feet. God was moving –
and so was I!
But, little did I know what was around the corner. I was not only riding the wave of a move of
God in my own life and in the renewal, but I was filled with all kinds of stuff that he saw and
was committed to changing. He saw my deep feelings of inferiority, and insecurity, which I was
too ashamed to own. He saw mixed with my hunger for God my impatience and determination
to fulfil the call of God in my own strength. He saw through my ‘image-building’ right into my
need for identity. He knew who I really was and was committed to a process that would set me
free to be true to his design.

So, two things happened - I heard from God, and I found myself out of ministry.

I heard from God
First, the Lord spoke to me, and said, “David, I’m wanting to draw you aside and satisfy you in
deeper realms...I’m wanting to have a union with you and a fellowship. Don’t try and be like
others that you might see going here and there and doing this or that… don’t try and force an
image on yourself. What I want is your fellowship - it will take many, many hours just soaking
in my presence....”
With shame, I recall my reaction to this word from God. I effectively said, “Send it back –
don’t like it – another one thanks!” I groaned within myself, and complained not only to my
pastors, but also to God. What I wanted was something fitting for the nation-shaking ministry I
was destined to be! I wanted the earth to move! I wanted the works - trumpet blast, thunder,
lightening, the heavens opening - God saying, “Hey, this is my servant, my anointed –– apostle
to the nations extraordinaire – watch out!” Come on! What did I want with a word like the one

I got - hour upon of hour of just soaking in his presence? Sure, I had a passion for the presence
of God and had already committed myself to a lifestyle of prayer. But I was a young man of
twenty filled with spiritual testosterone. I had been captured by a vision of God impacting the
nations and we were on track to do it. Our church was breaking new ground in worship and
intercession. It was engaged successfully in publishing, renewal conferences, ministry training,
and strategic church planting in major centres of South East Asia. Why would I want anything
to do with a word suggesting I wasn’t going that track? Soaking in his presence just sounded all
a bit effeminate – I wanted the lightning and thunder – I wanted action. But, God had other
ideas.

Out of ministry - “God blew on our church like a pack of cards”
The second thing that happened was that God blew on our church like a pack of cards. Whatever
else may be said about bad choices or enemy activity, the fact is, God is still in control and uses
all things for our good.77 We had purchased an office building to facilitate all the things that
were happening. It proved to be a flawed decision and the church hit the rocks financially. The
enemy had a ‘field day’. He had infiltrated our team with what can only be described as “falsebrothers”
who rose up against the founder with false accusations. He was wrongfully accused of
fraud, of being a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”, and forced, not only out of the church, but also out
of the country. The church survived, but being a junior team member, I found myself without a
job and without a ministry.
Talk about being unplugged. All my youthful dreams lay in the smouldering wreck of a church
crash and I found myself selling life insurance to survive. Dazed and wondering, “What was
that all about?” I tried to make sense of it. Fortunately, God had already spoken, showing me
that what he wanted to do in my life was not like others. That I was not to look at those who
were “going here and there and doing this and that”, and seemingly achieving things in
ministry. He had also shown me that I was going to be hidden in the “cleft of the rock” even as
I watched my peers progressing and gaining visibility in the work of God.

“False images” or “Christ’s image”
But, what was the purpose of these dealings of God? Put very simply – to expose “false
images” and conform me further to “the image of Christ”:

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love
God, to those who are called according to His purpose… to become conformed to the
image of His Son…” (Rom 8:28, 29 NASB, emphasis mine).

God’s design through life’s circumstances, including ministry deprivation, is to conform us to
the image of his Son. He is infinitely more committed to our character than our career! The
Lord had warned me not to force an “image” on myself. Looking at men of God in ministry I
admired, I wanted to be like them - to be doing the sorts of things they did. I found myself
unconsciously imitating them.

Emulating maturity or imitating ministry
But, I was to discover, there is a difference between emulating maturity, and imitating ministry.
To be inspired to live closer to Jesus through the example of another is one thing. But to imitate
someone else’s anointing, style, or personality is another. With the outbreak of the current
renewal it has been interesting to observe ministries imitate the style and anointing of some of
the high-profile leaders. All of a sudden, we had Rodney Howard-Browne look-alikes running
around the countryside doing their thing. Or alternatively, we have had pastors imitating the
church growth gurus producing ‘cookie-cutter’ churches. Emulating maturity develops within
us Christ’s image – imitating ministry only fabricates false images. One simulates renewal and
the other stimulates revival.

Frukta inte!

From a sister:
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7).

Do you know what happens when you fear something? Job tells you in Job 3:25: "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me...."
Fear opens the door for the things you fear to enter your life. Fear often opens the door to sickness in people's lives. It produces worry, and worry is what puts about 80 percent of the people who are in the hospital there. They say, "Oh, I'm afraid I'll catch the flu," or "I'm afraid I'm going to get cancer," or "I'm afraid I'll have an accident." They're continually confessing, "I'm afraid of this; I'm afraid of that."

The Bible says, "Fear not; only believe" (Luke 8:50). You see, you can't fear and believe at the same time. Fear opens the door to the devil and gives him room to move. In fact, fear is faith in the devil. Faith in God receives the best God has for you. Fear, or faith in the devil, receives the worst the enemy can give you. But fear can't just latch onto you. It has to present itself to you; then it's up to you whether you want to receive it or resist it. So when fear hits you, realize that you have the ability to get rid of it.

You can say, "Fear, I resist you in the name of Jesus! You'll have no part of me, and I'll have no part of you!" It's your choice. If you're experiencing all kinds of fear in your life, don't worry about the fear. Start putting the Word down inside you. Build your faith in the Word, and the fears will disappear!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I choose to "fear not" because Jesus said, "Fear not; only believe." So the choice is mine, and I choose to believe God's Word. I do not fear sickness, for God sent His Word to heal me. I am confident, for my God is with me.
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Jag har gett dig auktoritet

I Have Given You Authority

Precious one, I want you to raise up and break off the shackles that bind you. Do not sit there in torment crying out to Me to help you, for I have already given you My authority. Use what I have given to you, for it is more than sufficient to gain you the victory.

Have I not said that "No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man?" (Mark 3:27) You have My spirit living within you and I have given you My authority over the enemy and over infirmity. Don't you realize that you are strong in Me? So how is it that you fall into the role of helpless victim and offer no resistance? How it is that you complacently hold out your hands and allow the enemy of yoursoul to bind you that he might torment you? How is it that you so easily allow the enemy of your souls to plunder your goods? That is not My will for you.

Don't you realize that My will for you is victory and overcoming? Have I not said that I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you? (Luke 10:19) If I have given you My authority, then don't you think the authority that I have placed on you is greater that the authority of your adversary? Of course it is! You are stronger than him, so don't listen to his lies and don't surrender to him without a fight.

Little one, you are indeed Mine and My blood indeed covers and purifies you. So when the enemy speaks condemnation to you, he speaks lies. I have already said in My word that "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Me" {Romans 8:1); so do not give the enemy a foothold of condemnation in your life. Choose to believe what I have told you instead of believing the lies of the enemy. My words are truth and they are words of life and victory, but his false words bring torment and bondage.

Choose to believe My truth and choose to use the authority that I have already given you. Do not be complacent when the enemy comes to try and make you feel small and helpless. Rebuke him in My name and with My authority. Have I not said, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7)? So precious one, don't be complacent the next the tormentor comes to torment you. Raise up in My authority and command him to leave. Don't stop with one command, give up and assume that My authority doesn't work in your case. Keep on fighting and keep on warring in the authority I have given you. Fight until you have complete victory, for I have given you My authority that you might obtain My victory in your life.

Yes, little one, I have given you My authority and I want you to use it to accomplish My will. My will for you is to defeat the enemy of your souls that you might walk in victory, in peace, in prosperity and in fullness of joy. That will be a testimony of My glory operating in your life and it will be a light that draws the unsaved to Me. I want to world to know that I mighty, that I am able to save and to deliver My own from the problems and torments in their life and give them the victory. So use the authority that I have given you to obtain the victory that I have destined for you. That is right, precious one, raise up and break off the shackles that bind you and be free in Me.

Tomma kärl

Gud har talat till mig och vi MÅSTE vara redo! Gud visade mig en tom kruka och sa, "Se till att ni har tomma kärl, kärls som kan fyllas med olja, 2 Kungaboken 4:3-6, med min härlighet o auktoritet. När de fyllts på måste de tömmas igen så att de kan fyllas på, annars blir det som med mannat i öknen, det ruttnar".

Han visade mig att många har kärl, men de är fulla av annat så det inte finns plats för någon smörjelse o auktoritet från Gud! Detta är livsnödvändigt för den tid som kommer, då massor av trasiga sargade människor kommer att ropa om nåd o frälsning, Jeremia 14:4-9. Dessa Guds blivande barn får inte gå under eller stoppas in i fack i bokhyllor i församlingarna. Dessa måste få färsk mat att äta.

pastor Ewa, pingstkyrkan Skara

2 Kungaboken 4:3-6
"4 Gå sedan in och stäng igen dörren om dig och dina söner och häll olja i alla kärlen. När ett kärl är fullt, så flytta det." 5 Då gick hon ifrån honom. Sedan hon hade stängt igen dörren om sig och sina söner, bar de fram kärlen till henne och hon hällde i av oljan. 6 När kärlen var fulla, sade hon till en av sina söner: "Ge mig ett kärl till." Men han svarade henne: "Det finns inte något mer kärl." Då stannade oljeflödet av."

Jeremia 14:4-9
"4 Eftersom marken spricker upp, då det inte regnar i landet, står jordbrukarna med skam och täcker sina huvuden. 5 Också hinden på fältet överger sin nyfödda kalv, därför att det inte finns något grönt. 6 Vildåsnorna står på höjderna och flämtar efter luft som schakaler. Deras ögon är matta, ty det finns inget gräs. 7 Även om våra missgärningar vittnar mot oss, grip ändå in, för ditt namns skull, HERRE. Ja, gång på gång har vi avfallit och syndat mot dig. 8 Du Israels hopp, dess frälsare i nödens tid, varför är du som en främling i landet, lik en vägfarande som stannar för en natt? 9 Varför är du som en rådlös man, lik en hjälte som inte kan hjälpa? Du finns ju mitt ibland oss, HERRE, och vi är uppkallade efter ditt namn. Överge oss inte! "
