" Eyes wide open"
An awakening is about to hit Europe this summer! Sleepy churches will come alive and move into the market place, bringing the life of Christ to the rich and poor. The ripple effect of this wave will flow into Poland shaking, rattling the dead bones and bringing to life those that have been dead for years. Auschwitz, Krakow,Warsaw, cities of death and war scares will be changed into cities of Light. The churches of peace will be visited by the Prince of Peace. The word of the Lord will flow like a strong river through cities ravaged by war and hate. Airports will be full of many coming to drink from the Spirit that has awakened and opened many closed doors.

"A word before the word." I know that sounds a little, well perhaps very strange and maybe it is my way of evading or procrastinating from the enviable. It is true I've had this word on my heart and on paper for months, not this word but the one coming after this word. Oh my, I think I am losing some of you already, or maybe I am just losing my mind. That is it, we must first lose our minds in order to have or walk in the mind of the Spirit. The prophetic can be so strange and yet so powerful, but to get to the latter one must understand the strangeness and what comes with the nature of the prophetic gift.
                                              Elijah has got to be one of my favorite mentors, examples of one walking in the calling and not always having his game face on, so to speak. So I am in the book of Revelations working on the word that supposed to come after this word (see already I am using the word suppose as if it may or may not come after this word) and the Spirit leads me back to, you guest it, 1Kings 17 where Elijah has just spoke a word of a drought coming. Its not always fun and games being one of Gods servants in this modern age. I think today we have down played the office of a prophet to the extent that many who are called to this office have a desire to be excepted and embraced, even speaking those words that are popular and what people want to hear, reaching the emotions but lack the anointing to reach the spirit. Elijah was not that kind of servant! He was labeled by Ahab as "the troubler of Israel"only because Ahab didn't like what he spoke. This word is about Gods provision and not just His usual provision but that which is provided miraculously. I look at Elijah's life and many other patriarchs such as Abraham, Joshua and Moses who God provided for but many times at the last minute, or at their weakest state, or with Elijah being directed to another town in order to get just his daily essentials. With Elijah business wasn't as usual, he was an in season out of season servant. I look at Elijah as a type of Christ a forerunner of how the church today should be moving and relying on the provision of the Father. I am going to throw in a big billboard sign here and will clarify later what I mean. "The landscape of the church is changing" Some of us have gotten it! We have realized that His provision doesn't come because of our good works, or how faithful we are to any local church. It is and comes from the Father of lights, His love, grace, mercy and our obedience. Remember Elijah after speaking concerning a drought coming was told by God to go to the brook Cherith and there he would be provided for. It was Elijah's obedience to the Father that he was able to receive Gods provision and a miraculous one at that. We in the church today think Gods provision only comes through the tithes and offerings given on a Sunday morning Wrong!! That according to old testament law is only 10%, Elijah was a forerunner to the new covent, he surrendered all and because of that God continued to lead him to provision. Provision and greater provision comes to a christian and local church when we embrace wholeheartedly the new covent teaching of All. Surrender of all that we have and walk in the obedience that our Father desires. Elijah could have stayed where he was at with the settlers of Gilead and perhaps only receiving basic provision and missing out on the miraculous that God had for him. Where are you at with the Fathers provision in your walk. Are you still trusting in the basic understanding that He will bless and provide IF I give my tithes? Or are you hearing the real heart of the Spirit saying move on from here, go to a new place, I will provided to you the miraculous. The brook dried up and the ravens stopped coming to feed Elijah because it was time to go to another place of provision and continue in what God had called him to do. Has the brook dried up for you? Not sure how long Elijah relied on those ravens and the brook. But because of Gods plans, where Elijah was naturally and spiritually wasn't working anymore. He hasn't left you, He is still leading you to greater provision. Listen to His voice! He may be taking you to another place and at the same time preparing you to be used in His miracles for someone who needs His provision. Look up! God through the Spirit is re-aligning the church. He is taking His bride out of the old structures, old provision, that the church can be set free to really walk in their true callings. Like Elijah the church is about to walk from that dried up brook to the miraculous releasing of Gods provision in the form of heavy rain. Don't let the natural keep you from the supernatural. Don't be bound up with the mindset of 10% when the Spirit is saying All. We can't give 10% of our lives and expect a hundredfold. Let the expensive perfume flow. Let the Standard of our giving monetarily and spiritually be wholeheartedly All that the Spirit would ask of us, and Gods provision will be poured into your lap in good measure shaken together, and running over. Walking in the mind of Christ can be exciting and an eternal adventure!(Luke 6:38)

A blast from the heavens will declare the glory of God. Bright shinning planets not seen with the

naked eye since the birth of Christ, are once again revealing the beauty of Gods creation. Again Gods is speaking through His creation, along with the multitude of events taking place regularly, that the return of Christ is soon. We spend so much time looking at the earthy disorder that we fail to put our eyes heavenward. Could it be that even as the Bethlehem star directed the wise men to the birth of Christ that again its time to look up for our redemption is near. For great terror and fear are upon the hearts of men and many are running here and there looking for safety but not finding it. The Father of lights with the voice of many waters warns the inhabitants to come into the Ark, there they will be safe. For the storm will intensify and the flood waters will rise, but in the Ark they will be saved from the destruction that is to come. The great institutions are crumbling and that which governments considered impregnable will be torn down. For nations are in an uproar because they have denied the only One who can rescue and save them from the dust storm of darkness. Rulers take a stand against the Lord and His Anointed casting away the righteous standards that can bring healing to the nations. But God in His mercy and love, not willing that any should perish extends His salvation through Christ. But the time table has been set and the terrible day of the Lord is coming. Even as it was in the days of Noah the coming of the Lord will be. These are the days of Elijah for the church! To be that voice of redemption, salvation and warning that He is near.

America the beautiful! Continues to be blessed by the Father of lights, but embraces the lie and falls deeper into deception making the lie its truth. But soon Truth will appear and defeat deception, the father of lies and all darkness with the two-edged sword coming forth from His mouth! (Revelation 1:6) What lie will be able to stand in the presence of eternal Truth? What darkness will be able to cloud, dissipate or hide from His glory? Only the righteous, redeemed of the Lord, wash by His blood will be able to stand in His presence when He appears. Though America may be proud of its decisions and many cultures are rallying with excitement, the day of reckoning is coming. Those who have been swallowed up by this dust storm of darkness will not be able to stand upon the law of the land. America has failed to trust God the Father and look to His laws and will. Saints, we are in this world , but we are not of this world. We look to our real home where we have already been enrolled into heaven. So be strong and courages for the Lord your God He is with you and He is mighty to save!!

"A miraculous season is approaching"! Can you hear the Spirit speaking to the church? Prepare your hearts for this wave of unearned grace that is about to be poured out on your dry land. The Spirit would say "You have been toiling, laboring to the extent of depending on your own strength for a move of God upon your hearts, your church, this nation and the world. But you have forgotten an element of the Fathers grace and mercy that goes beyond all you can do. He shows up after you have exhausted all your resources, in His time releasing His plans. My moving doesn't depend on your great worship gatherings, sacrifices or intercessions, calling upon Me to move. You have been called to prayer, seeking my heart, but this is a time when I am moving beyond the normal seasons to lighten the burden and pour out when you would lest expect it! The Father has shown up through the power of the Spirit at various times displaying His radiance, because of the church desiring His presence. But don't forget He is God and He can move beyond any petitioning that comes from His children. This is a Karios time that the Father is about to bring. This is not only a season being released because of the  prayers of the saints overflowing from the bowls! But this is primarily our Father stepping in beyond all that we can ask or think and releasing heaven upon us. For the Lord would say "I am a Great God, a Father who brings the rain upon the righteous and unrighteous alike!             

Watch now and see what I am about to do. Don't let the wisdom of this world govern your future. You have given up and given in leaving you hopeless and despondent. But the Lord will gather the four winds and bring storm after storm of His grace, gathering His people as one, flushing out the spirit of control and bringing life to your dry places! This is a season when the church will receive revelation into their spirit. It will be like a sprinkle to open up the pours of the heart, then a steady shower, to a flooding. You will abandon the structures and formats, legalistic mindsets, to walk free in your calling having more of Christ to follow as He intended!

I am going to show up in the natural as a sign of what I am about to do supernaturally. The usual will be changed into the unusual, the predictable to the unpredictable and the dry seasons into wet seasons. For this reason I say to you do not be anxious for your life as to what you shall eat of drink, nor for your body as to what you shall wear. Is not life more than food and clothing. Look at the birds of the air they neither sow, reap or gather into barns and yet your heavenly Father provide for them. Are you not worth more than they? You have been shaken by the wisdom of man, and your vision diluted by their knowledge that has brought fear upon you, saying "you must do this and that in order to survive this dryness in the land" But the Spirit would say " Because they think their wisdom is greater than My provision and they turn to their strength rather than trusting Me, I will break the backs of the prideful, confound their strategies, casting aside their plans and move upon the land with miraculous signs that will confound the wisdom of the intellect! Even the mighty among you will say "not because of anything that we have done" For every tower of Babel shall be tore down, for I will not be contained. The high places will be astonished when they see gushers of My grace being poured out upon every dry place. For the darkness is no match for My glory. My love is unstoppable and My grace abounds even more in the darkness. Even as it rises up like a flood He will come like a rushing stream which the Spirit drives.

If My moving depended upon your faith you would be miserable and without hope. But I am coming in the heat of the season, to a dry and thirsty land. Prepare your hearts to freely receive of the grace of the Lord. For He is about to open up the flood gates of heaven and many will be surprised, dumbfounded and amazed by My abundant love and grace!

Hedge trimming can be very exhausting yet surprisingly revealing!
 As I was trimming this 40 foot hedge at a nearby church I came across a nest of baby birds with their mouths wide open ready for momma to come and feel them. Then the scripture came to me "Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? This was a good reminder for me, that it may seem bleak at times and that our provision, the necessities of life are not there. Just like these baby birds,  keep believing with your mouth (heart) wide open, the Father will feel it in due time! Matthew 6;26

"Preparing the tribulation church"

There is a shaking, a rumbling, a rising up of the bedrock beneath  the present site of the Mosque of Omar. By a decree given this Dome of the Rock that has been built over the original site where Abraham made sacrifice on Mount Moriah, where Solomon built the first temple, and where Herod rebuilt it, will be removed and once again the Jewish temple will take center stage. With its regular sacrifices and grain offerings it will seem like peace has finally come to Israel( Daniel 9:27; 11:31). The corner stone of the temple has stood the test of time and once again Israel will for a season have their holy temple. But the Jewish nation will be deceived. Sudden destruction will come, for the abomination of desolation will stand in the temple proclaiming himself as god and put an end to the sacrifice. Again God will move and reach out over His people that they would come to Him wholeheartedly. He will prepare a place for them in the desert and Christ the true Corner Stone will again come and cleanse the temple and raise up a remnant( Revelation 7:4). There is a gathering of  worriers, intercessors, full of faith and the Spirit that have seen in the Spirit the tribulation church and the importance of this present generation battling on behalf of this place (Jerusalem) and the Jewish nation. There is the voice of the Spirit speaking, now echoing through the streets of Jerusalem and flowing beyond to the church "Make ready in the Spirit a people that will be My witnesses in the time of great trouble." God is beckoning His people to come to Him and for those that do, He will cover them with His wings!

(Psalms 91:4) Have you been putting your ear to the ground? Can you not perceive? there is a dispensation of great tribulation coming that will usher in the end of the age and Christ will return with great glory and make all things new!
                          Because of the revelation given to this present church we have the responsibility to prepare through preaching of the word and prophetic intercession, the tribulation church. The tribulation people are those, Gentile's and Jews that will go through the seven years tribulation after Christ's church has been caught up into heaven. But another church will form! A church of witnesses that know their God will display strength and take action (Daniel 9:32). The enemy is looking to divide and cut off relationship between America and Israel. God is calling forth leaders full of the Spirit, with a mandate to prepare the hearts through prophetic intercession, that this present Jewish nation will turn to the Messiah. God is using Netanyahu to position Israel to have an encounter with Yashua, that an army of Jewish believers will hand off in the Spirit the baton  to the tribulation believers. For the Lord would say "to this present church I will pour out My Spirit and bring a rain that will give power to My bride to pray in the Spirit for every tribe of Israel." For the nation of Israel will be for a season an island , surrounded by many nations, on the brink of destruction. But Yeshua Ha Mashiach is about to make some noise, for He will come and defend His people.

Now is the time for the church to be strong and take action for Israel! So prophesy over every tribe that the dry bones of this people will rise up, come alive, shake off the unbelief and come to their Messiah. For the distress and perilous times of this generation is about to increase like the gates of a dam being opened, bursting forth, flooding every segment of life. But the Lord says " I AM with you I will never leave you or forsake you, even to the end of the age"( Mathew 28:20: Hebrews 13:5). For the King of kings is coming to overturn tables. To establish His kingdom with a new heaven and new earth. For the holy city, new Jerusalem will come down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband (Revelations 21:1-2).
