Prophecy: 'God Is Restoring the Dignity of Prophets in Our Time' - JAMES W. GOLL CHARISMA NEWS

Prophecy: 'God Is Restoring the Dignity of Prophets in Our Time'
JAMES W. GOLL 
CHARISMA NEWS  Aug. 24, 2019
I was sitting on a plane, and I had about 20 text messages come through, each one a more important testimony or story than the last about how different friends had encountered actual prophets in our day who gave them prophetic words.
These words all had stories attached, and each prophet had brought different people into a place of great authority and connection in their sphere of society. Each one was a testimony of how the prophet had affected their life and how the outcome was forever different because of the word they had received.
I was so excited because it wasn't just spiritual encouragement. I heard them talking about different men and women whom God is raising up or has raised up as prophets and how prophets are alive and well in our time.
I then heard clearly in my spirit that God is restoring the dignity of prophets in our time.

Who Are Prophets, Anyway?
Prophets in the Old Testament were the most sought-after people when anyone faced transition, crises or national purposes in Israel and beyond.
The prophets were the hosts of God's thoughts, and when people met with them, this omnipresent God made an appearance through His prophets in a way that proved that He cared very deeply about those who sought after Him.
In the New Testament, we see the prophets carry another equally important role—to help establish God's kingdom in all the world.
They were the ones who helped the rest of Christians navigate their revelation and prophetic journey.
The world is so hungry for the divine counsel of the Holy Spirit. When you meet with Him, what normally takes a year of counseling, an expensive business coach, a life coach or an educational process can happen in a moment.
Counterfeit Prophets
Think about the multi-billion-dollar industry of psychics, new age, mediums and the occult.
Why are they so present in society?
Because people are looking for spiritual guidance.
People are hungry for spiritual truth that they can apply to their pain, their careers, their identities.
This is such a counterfeit to the ministry of prophets, who bring a connection to God's original plans and intentions in real time through the Spirit of God. And He does it free through His prophets!

James W. Goll: "Changing of the Guard: The Convergence of Prophecy and Evangelism" - The Elijah List

James W. Goll: "Changing of the Guard: The Convergence of Prophecy and Evangelism"


The Elijah List  Mar 29, 2019
Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
I've said before that James Goll is a walking Bible and the heavenly revelation he carries is phenomenal!
James is one who also understands the times and seasons and he carries great wisdom about the moves of God throughout history.
You're going to read about this and more as James explains the "changing of the guard" and the kairos time we are in:
Are we in a kairos time where the mantles of the prophetic and evangelistic are converging? As this changing of the guard occurs, are we properly postured to inherit the revelatory promises released by these forerunners? I simply say, "Yes and Amen!" to these promises of a great global harvest for Jesus Christ's sake!
There is a lot to glean from in this time...and you'll learn a great deal from our friend, James Goll! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Five Seer Prophets Sown as Seeds for a Great Harvest
We are postured at yet another major crossroads in the Body of Christ, which includes a strategic "Changing of the Guard." In the last five years, we have had five major seer prophets all ascend to their heavenly reward. On February 14, 2014, the heavenly-minded seer prophet, Bob Jones, passed into glory. The following year in almost the exact same time frame, the seer prophet John Paul Jackson suddenly departed from this world. In the next two years, we had yet two more very anointed seer prophets graduate from this world to their true eternal one: Kim Clement and John Sandford. Just a few days ago on February 12th, 2019, the boy prophet who became an elderly seer, Paul Cain, also shed his earthly tabernacle and ascended on high.
I attended the memorial services for all three of these former Kansas City Prophets: Bob Jones, John Paul Jackson and Paul Cain. As I pondered and reflected upon their home goings, I became aware of some intriguing and profound details. Bob Jones was lowered into the earth on 2/22/2014 in Moravian Falls, the day after his memorial service on 2/21/2014. John Paul Jackson was also buried as a seed into the ground on 2/22/2015. John Paul's burial was exactly one year after our mutual friend, Bob Jones. Paul Cain departed on 2/12/2019, the anniversary date of the beginning of the Latter Rain Movement. But not only that, Paul Cain was another seer seed lowered into the earth on 2/22/2019. That is exactly five years to the date of the burial of Bob Jones. You cannot make up this timeline!
Does this really mean anything? Is there any major significance we can derive from our loss and Heaven's gain? Is there an inheritance we are to receive? How do we posture ourselves to receive the baton from these and other heroes of the faith?
The Nature of the Prophetic
After being in prophetic ministry 40 years, I have observed some key issues concerning the nature of a prophetic word. Often, a word is bigger than the person who carries it. I have stated for years, that one way you can know if you have heard God, is that what you have heard requires His help to fulfill it. God does not speak into the realms of man's possibilities, but God speaks into the realm that requires His divine assistance to see the word come to pass.
Another key component I have learned could be expressed as "living in the until clause." A promise is revealed and then a promise is fulfilled. A revelation is released and then later, a revelation is manifested. In between the two, there is a gap called the "until clause." What comprises this "until clause?" (Photo via Unsplash)
Foundational to the prophetic is the three-stage process of: revelation, interpretation and application. If you get the wrong interpretation to the revelation you will surely end up with a misapplication. So properly discerning and interpreting a word is paramount. It is also vital to meet the conditions of a word, whether spoken or unspoken, to help unlock a prophetic promise. We must learn to pray the promise back to God, walk in faith-adding, corresponding actions, at times wage spiritual warfare, and wait upon God's strategic timing. All these ingredients are important components of unlocking the prophetic promise of God!
What Promises Are We to Inherit?
Here are some of the prophetic promises the Lord gave these five seer prophets.
Bob Jones released the prophetic promise of a Last Days "Billion Soul Harvest," especially among the youth of the earth. Papa Bob also challenged us with the piercing statement, "Did you learn to love?" In the 1980s and 1990s, I spent hundreds of hours at this man's side. During that time, I was one of the few people he would allow to lay hands on him and pray in the Holy Spirit as he ministered to others into the wee hours of the night.
John Paul Jackson labored for greater purity in the prophetic stream and a depth of accountability for the words spoken by the clay lips of revelatory vessels. John Paul was a true seer of seers and was noted for his precise predictions of the coming "Perfect Storm." JP and I had a high mutual esteem for each other's capacity to equip the saints to hear God for themselves. We were very different but cut from the same sensitive cloth.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
Kim Clement was a musical seer like King David in the Bible. He contended for new creative inventions to release Kingdom wealth and that Jerusalem would be a united city in the midst of a time of great chaos. Often Kim's highly-potent prophetic nuggets were somewhat veiled and required the skill to dig for the hidden gold of the promise of God.
John Sandford was noted for his expertise in uniting the prophetic with counseling, inner healing and deliverance. He composed the landmark book, The Elijah Task. Uncle John, as I fondly referred to him, contended for wholeness among the prophetic community and modeled honor to the First Nations people as a needed tool to "Heal the Land." This man truly walked in the character needed to carry the promise.
Paul Cain prophesied the "New Breed of a Nameless and Faceless Generation," who would only lift up the name of the One Man, Christ Jesus. Though controversial at times in his life, to my knowledge Paul finished well. He declared with ferocity that the "Stadiums will be filled with a New Move of the Holy Spirit with Signs and Wonders." I was present multiple times when Paul Cain would step into a zone and declare a new era of Stadium Christianity.
While mentioning these five, highly-gifted seer prophets, I would be amiss to not mention the man who preached the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as an evangelist to more people than any other person in all Church history. Dr. Billy Graham also departed from this world one year ago.
Are we in a kairos time where the mantles of the prophetic and evangelistic are converging? As this changing of the guard occurs, are we properly postured to inherit the revelatory promises released by these forerunners? I simply say, "Yes and Amen!" to these promises of a great global harvest for Jesus Christ's sake! (Photo via James Goll)
Unless a Seed
Let me close with the words of Jesus, the One we love and the One we serve. John 12:24 states, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." What a profound truth! What a stunning eternal reality!
Yes, these things remain constant in this life, "Seedtime and Harvest." There is a season for everything. Could we be crossing the Jordan River that separates Promise Revealed from Promise Fulfilled? I for one firmly believe so! I am posturing myself along with thousands of other desperate lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ to see the greatest Youth Awakening the world has ever known.
For the Sake of the Lamb
Let us be among those who "give honor to whom honor is due." Let us consecrate ourselves to be part of a new breed of Jesus People around the world. Let's welcome an upgrade in our gifts and callings and to see a grand convergence of the prophetic and evangelistic. Let's echo the vision statement of the Moravian Believers of old, "To win for the Lamb the rewards of His sufferings."
Personally, I do not labor for the mantle of a man. But much more than that, we who remain are here to declare, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" Why? Because God has the harvest on His mind! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

A Fresh Word for God's Women in This Hour - JAMES W. GOLL CHARISMA NEWS

A Fresh Word for God's Women in This Hour

JAMES W. GOLL  CHARISMA NEWS
"When the leaders in Israel lead, when the people freely volunteer, bless the Lord!" (Judg. 5:2).
Yes, it is a rather intense story found right in the middle of the pages of Bible concerning Deborah the Deliverer (read Judg. 4-5). But as a male spiritual leader, I have something to say to you mighty women of God! We cannot afford for you to be fearful "little women" in your own eyes. It is time for you to arise! We need you!
Instead, you must arise like Deborah of old and pick up your warrior's mantle for such a time as this. Today, across the globe and right in our own back yards, there are enemies on the rampage tearing apart society at every corner. My late wife, Michal Ann Goll, and I founded the Women on the Frontlines conference movement. In her inaugural book, Women on the Frontlines – A Call to Courage, she issued a clarion call that still needs to be answered today.
We live in an age that is sorely lacking in heroes. Think about it. Who can we look at today and regard as a hero? Certainly there are some, but they sure are hard to find!

Isaiah the prophet said that when a people comes under judgment, God takes away wise leadership from the land—the hero, warrior, judge, prophet, elders and others (see Isaiah 3:1-4 NIV). During a time of restoration, the Lord restores the land. We are now entering a time of restoration, and the Lord is calling us to be heroes.
He is preparing us for a time soon to come when the world will cry out for leaders who are in touch with the heart and the mind of God. [Michal Ann Goll, Women on the Frontlines, (Shippensburg, PA: Destiny Image Publishers Inc., 1999) 145.]
It's time to arise and carry Deborah's heart and anointing! But to do so, you must hold close to your heart the teachings of Zechariah 7:9-10, which says, "Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion, every man to his brother. Do not oppress the widow, orphan, sojourner, or poor. And let none of you contemplate evil deeds in your hearts against his brother."
Who was Deborah anyway? She was a prophetess, a judge, a wife, a warrior and a worshipper of her God and ultimate King. Deborah brought healing, deliverance and restoration to her land. She changed the justice system and she brought trade and commerce back to her people. She and Barak joined together in the infamous battle against Sisera, and won!
It's time for men and women to join together and provide real leadership and justice like Deborah and Barak! As a male spiritual leader in the global prayer and prophetic movement, I say to you, "arise!" Come on now! We can do the same today! Change society. Shift the courts. Bring revival and restoration to the land. Cause, always remember, together, in Jesus, we make a great team!

James W. Goll: "The Prophetic Power of Proclamation" The Elijah List

James W. Goll: "The Prophetic Power of Proclamation"

The Elijah List Dec 14, 2018

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
Do you know just how important your prayer decrees are? If not, you are going to get an eye opener on the impact of your prayers as you read through this recent article by our friend, James Goll.
James is a Father to the Body of Christ in many ways...including teaching us how to pray!
James opens with this statement:
As watchmen and prophetic intercessors, our assignment is to scan the horizon for potential dangers, loudly and clearly, proclaiming the authority of God. This was brought home forcefully to me one day when I was alone, waiting quietly upon the Lord. The voice of the Holy Spirit came to me saying, "It is time to make a worldwide impact by calling forth the watchmen to the prophetic power of proclamation."
You will read some powerful testimonies about the power of your prayers...and I hope it charges you to increase your decrees as they are greatly needed across the earth! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

As watchmen and prophetic intercessors, our assignment is to scan the horizon for potential dangers, loudly and clearly, proclaiming the authority of God. This was brought home forcefully to me one day when I was alone, waiting quietly upon the Lord. The voice of the Holy Spirit came to me saying, "It is time to make a worldwide impact by calling forth the watchmen to the prophetic power of proclamation."
"The prophetic power of proclamation": for me this was like the final piece of a puzzle, and from that point forward I began ministering out of a higher vision.
Watchmen on the Walls
The picture was clear to me, because I had seen it in the book of Isaiah: "On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves; and give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth."(Isaiah 62:6-7)
To state the obvious – if we are on top of the walls being watchmen, we are not down on the ground observing and participating in whatever is happening on a horizontal plane. We are to remain up high at our posts because that is the only way to get an overview. As watchman intercessors, the height of our revelation will determine our perspective.
If as watchmen on the walls we are to never be silent day or night, what are we to say while we are up there? We are to remind God of His Word – the promises and proclamations of Scripture as well as the promises currently in the Father's heart today. It is as though we have been issued megaphones in order to echo God's Word to the world around us.
There is more than one way to dismantle the darkness around us. We don't always need to fire arrows or use weapons. More often, we can proclaim God's blessings, which supplant the curses afflicting the people and territory we have been charged to watch over. Blessings and praises proclaimed wholeheartedly often break the power of a curse better than rebuking it directly. "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse" (Romans 12:14). The power of a blessing is greater than the power of a curse. (Photo via James Goll)
As watchmen on the walls, our job is to pray God's promises, praise Him with our whole hearts, and release proclamations of prophetic blessings. As we do so, we will grow increasingly secure in our identities as sons and daughters of the Father. This increased security keeps us from ambitious and self-serving efforts to do prayer "exploits" while producing results that surprise us with joy.
Healing in Bangkok
Let me give you a clear example of how this works. Once I was ministering in Bangkok, Thailand, where due to the predominance of Buddhism, literal curses abound. In a series of teachings, through a translator, I rather methodically presented the causes and cures for curses. I pointed out that Jesus addressed demons directly in the course of His ministry, and the material I taught was well received.
But when the subsequent ministry time finally came, I did not follow a typical approach of individualized personal ministry. Through a series of dreams beforehand, the Holy Spirit had shown me a different way. I started releasing the opposite spirit, the spirit of blessing, over the assembled crowd. In this situation, no one laid hands on anyone else. I led the people in corporate declarations of blessings and the faith level began to rise. Everyone was eagerly participating together! The afternoon session ended with an expectation that more would come during the evening session.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
That evening during worship, a lady started dancing her way across the front. I did not know what was so special about that, but people were really reacting in surprise and excitement. I turned to my interpreter and asked, "What is happening?" He said, "Oh, don't you know?" He then explained to me that this woman had been in the meeting earlier that day. She had come in a wheelchair because her entire right side was paralyzed. Apparently she had been going from doctor to doctor, but no one had been able to help her. She was ready to have one more MRI the following week, but she was facing a life of major paralysis.
Freedom! That afternoon, with no one laying hands on her, she had confessed and renounced some generational sins as I had instructed, and when I started releasing the power of the blessing, she got struck by a "lightning bolt" of Holy Spirit power and was healed in an instant. That night she was offering thanks to God – doing what she was not able to do before. She was healed!
We may not always see such dramatic results, but if the proclamation of God's Word of blessing is strong enough to heal paralysis, it is definitely strong enough to heal whatever else might be out of order.
Proclaim for All to Hear
We do not use the words proclaim or proclamation often in our ordinary speech. We prefer synonymous words such as announce, publish, invite or declare. Let's revive proclamation as one of our best ways to give expression to prophetic intercession. Let's cry out, pronounce, herald, and even decree. We speak on behalf of the King, do we not? As His own sons and daughters, we can proclaim God's truth with joyful confidence in any situation.
Consider a few Scriptures of proclamation:
"I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He." (Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NIV)
"You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways." (Job 22:28 NASB) (Photo via James Goll)
"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor." (Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV)
"What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops." (Matthew 10:27 NASB)
Proclaim and Decree
Instead of only praying problems, begin to proclaim solutions. Each time you and I proclaim the power of God over our lives and the lives of the people around us, the Holy Spirit's words to me come to fruition: "It is time to make a worldwide impact by calling forth the watchmen to the prophetic power of proclamation."
Let's make full use of the power of proclamation. Let's decree things and see them established. Let's fill our mouths with vigorous words of praise – and we will see whole cities transformed for the glory of God! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

James W. Goll: "Five Prophetic Points for 2019 and Beyond" - The Elijah List

James W. Goll: "Five Prophetic Points for 2019 and Beyond"

The Elijah List Nov 9, 2018

Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
My friend James Goll is always full of prophetic revelation for the times we live in...I so appreciate his voice!
Here in his latest article James gives us specific prophetic points for this next year and beyond. I know you will be greatly edified with the powerful points the Lord gave him.
Just read this by James:
We have entered into "Days of Acceleration" and "A Time of the Suddenlies." I was given a dream encounter in which I was climbing a hill and getting tired and weary. Finally, I made it to the top of the mountain, just as the rising sun electrified the sky with a glorious display of His presence. The weariness of working so hard dissipated as I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit say, "You have entered into the 'Times of the Suddenlies.'"
Now that's another powerful prophetic confirmation of what we've been hearing lately. Be encouraged as we look forward to the New Year and what God has in store. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

As we march into critical times, there is a dramatic escalation of activity in the spirit world being mirrored in the natural realm. Both dimensions reflect the intensity of the Last Day's heavenly battle that seems to be kicking into higher gear. Not only are these times extremely crucial, they are days of great advances.
What Time is It?
The book of Romans contains more than just the great plan of salvation. It carries the plan of how to live an effective Christian life in the midst of dark storms. It is a book that teaches what time it is and how we are to rule and reign with Christ Jesus in practical ways. Romans 13:11-14 aptly portrays this:
"You have entered into the 'Times of the Suddenlies.'"
"Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts."
Five Prophetic Points for 2019 and Beyond
In the last 30 years, I have not seen a season in which the activity in the spirit world has been this heightened. Keeping that in mind, here are five, different, prophetic points the Lord has been showing me, which describe the days in which we live.
1. God Has the Harvest on His Mind
These are days of the re-birthing of the Evangelist. As Billy Graham graduated into Heaven, a mantle for evangelism has fallen. This mantle is not one that has descended on just one man or woman, but it is rather a calling of grace from God, granted to an entire generation. Around the world an influx of souls is beginning to come into the Kingdom of God unlike anything we have seen in the Body of Christ for 50 years.
It is time for the words of Seer Prophet Bob Jones—for a one billion-soul harvest, especially among the youth—to come in. It is time for PE classes in God's School of the Holy Spirit. Yes, it is time for prophetic evangelism outside the four walls of the church. Power encounters in the streets, miracles in the marketplace, prophetic revelation released in a relational context will become daily experiences. Why? God has the harvest on His mind!
2. The Time of the Great Divide
Secondly, there is a deepening polarization taking place in society that will not be healed quickly—in fact, things are going to heat up even more. On the Day of Atonement in September 2018, I was shown a boiling cauldron of escalating violence that went past what we experienced in the 1960s. I was warned that there would be an increase of gang violence, including a huge arsenal of munitions that would be distributed within the nation(s) by a devilish, sinister plot to create disorder, chaos and senseless crimes. I saw multiple mass shootings taking place in different cities around the world, like what recently occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo via Pixabay)
I was shown gun raids where U.S. Federal agents would confiscate massive arsenals. The Holy Spirit called this deepening polarization, "The time of the Great Divide." This calls for a response from the Body of Christ, both of intercession and spiritual warfare, to expose the spirit of violence that produces riots, division and polarization. The words of 2 Chronicles 7:14are just as true today as the day in which they were originally written: "...if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
God is never taken by surprise. He is not sitting in Heaven with sweaty palms or wringing His hands in a nervous frenzy. In fact, according to Job 36:32"He covers His hands with lightening [glory] and commands it to strike the mark"(emphasis mine). Darkness is an excellent backdrop for light to shine its brightest.
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
3. The Days of His Presence
"The Days of His Presence" may seem like the antithesis of "The Days of the Great Divide." However, I believe future history books (if they are written) will call the days we are entering as, "The Days of His Presence." These will be days of great displays of God's brilliant presence. Some have prophetically described these days as "The Greatest Show on Earth."
The theme of "His Presence" will increase in emphasis in conferences and teaching series, throughout the global Body of Christ. There will be an invasion of the Holy Spirit taking over worship services and even large concert events—people will be struck with the awe and wonder of God as His manifest presence comes rolling in. After all, the distinguishing characteristic of the people of God is His presence among us (see Exodus 33:13–16).
4. A Time of the Suddenlies
"These are days of the re-birthing of the Evangelist."
We have entered into "Days of Acceleration" and "A Time of the Suddenlies." I was given a dream encounter in which I was climbing a hill and getting tired and weary. Finally, I made it to the top of the mountain, just as the rising sun electrified the sky with a glorious display of His presence. The weariness of working so hard dissipated as I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit say, "You have entered into the 'Times of the Suddenlies.'"
Later I gained more understanding as the following phrase leapt into my comprehension. "When the fullness of preparation meets the fullness of time it results in the Time of the Suddenlies." It is like a woman giving birth to a child. There are long months of formation followed by uncomfortable times of stretching. Right when the expectant mother feels she cannot carry the child any longer, suddenly transition kicks into gear and the greatly desired birth comes forth. We are entering into "A Time of the Suddenlies."
5.  Joining of the Generations
I want to drive home a point that many prophetic voices have been addressing for years. In these "Days of the Harvest" when His presence increases and suddenlies of God appear on the scene, the fullness of preparation will be due in part to the authentic "Joining of the Generations." God desires to manifest as the God of three generations in one generation. He longs that the wisdom of the older generation combines with the resources of the middle, which is then mixed with the necessary zeal of the younger generation—this is a recipe for a sustained move of God.
In the natural, not only am I a father but a grandfather of a growing number of grandchildren. I am beginning to fulfill a role in the Body of Christ I never predicted. I knew I was called to be a father in my generation, but it seems I have been saved from near-death experiences to become one of the "grandfatherly coaches" in these days and times. This I know, God is jealous for the authentic "Joining of the Generations."
Until We All Attain…
According to Ephesians 4:11, Christ who descended also ascended and gave gifts to men and women. Some are set apart to be pastors and teachers, others to be evangelists, and yet others as prophets and apostles. How long are these ministering office gifts of the Holy Spirit given? "[U]ntil we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).
Well, this work of unity and maturity has not yet fully happened. But the good news is that we have entered into the second apostolic age of the Church. A great shift is taking place in which genuine apostolic Christianity will have a rebirth in the midst of much chaos and turmoil. Perhaps much of what we have built will fall aside as the jealousy of God consumes man-made structures. (Photo via Unsplash)
What time is it? It is a time when the Holy Spirit consumes the Father's House and His presence becomes our distinguishing characteristic.
A Prayer of Consecration
Gracious Father, we come to You in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are grateful to see with our own eyes the fulfillment of the prophetic words spoken to us by forerunners who have gone before us. We agree that we are living in the Days of Acceleration and that the Days of a Great Harvest are upon us. Release more of Your brilliant presence and let it happen now, even suddenly! We consecrate ourselves to You for Your purposes and prophetic destiny in the days of Joining of the Generations. Send more of Your Spirit now, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen and Amen! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
