2017: The Year of the Next Level - JENNIFER LECLAIRE CHARISMA NEWS

Jennifer LeClaire is now sharing her reflections and revelations through Walking in the Spirit. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Watchman on the Wall, by Jennifer LeClaire

 CHARISMA NEWS
When I was driving to Orlando for Christmas, I heard the Lord say, "Next." I started meditating on that word "next." I looked it up on the dictionary. In other words, I pressed into what the Lord ways saying. The Lord showed me next-level assignments, next-level warfare and next-level blessings. Our cry this year is going to be "Next!"
Here's what the Lord spoke to my heart: "Those who are seeing first the kingdom of God this year are going to see an acceleration. You are going to advance faster than you've ever advanced. You will find angelic assistance on your journey, and you will need it. One assignment will come after another. At times, you'll have more than one assignment at the same time. The warfare will also be next level but you will defeat one enemy after another after another after another. And the blessings will come in rapid succession. Each time you finish an assignment, each time you conquer your spiritual foe, you will see new-level blessings in your life. You will see it as you stand your ground, as you obey My leading and as you seek My heart."
It's time to step out of the ordinary into the extraordinary. It's time to step out of our comfort zones and into the abundance zone. It's time to step out of the past and into the next! Let's unpack this "next" word so we can cooperate with the grace of God as the Lord releases the angels of abundant harvest.
1. Next-level assignments, David is a great example of next-level assignments. As a teenager, David's first assignment was to tend to sheep in the field. As he tells the story, "Your servant was a shepherd for my father's flock, and the lion came and the bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. And I went out after him, and struck him, and delivered it out of his mouth. And when he arose against me, I took hold of his beard, struck him, and killed him. Your servant slew both the lion and the bear" (1 Sam. 17:34-36).
When David heard there was a giant opposing the armies of the living God, I can imagine him saying, "Next!" He didn't hesitate to step into his next-level assignment. The Bible says he ran to the battle line after prophesying Goliath's defeat (1 Sam. 17:45-51). David struck down Goliath with a sling and a stone. As you step into the next-level assignments, there will be next-level warfare, but your Goliaths will fall.
This is the time to ask the Lord, "What is my next assignment? What's next?" People are going to be jealous of you, like Saul was jealous of David. But you will bless and curse not. You will move in the opposite spirit and maintain your authority in the spirit.
2. Next-level warfare. Paul said, "For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries" (1 Cor. 16:9) The Message translation says, "A huge door of opportunity for good work has opened up here. (There is also mushrooming opposition)." In other words, new level, new devil. Sometimes you fight the new devil before you get to the new level.
In the spirit, you are like one of David's mighty men—even greater! Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. If one of David's mighty men, Josheb-Basshebeth, could slay 800 in one occasion, what can you do? One can put 1,000 to flight and two can put 10,000 to flight (Deut. 32:30).
3. Next-level blessings. When we're obedient to accept the assignments of the Lord and we refuse to grow weary in well-doing until the assignment is complete, we're going to tap into next-level blessings. We must finish the assignment to tap into the blessing! If you have half-completed assignments, if you are procrastinating, unlock your blessing by crossing the finish line and start decreeing the blessings in Deuteronomy 28 over your life now with a "next" in your heart.
Matthew 6:33 Is Key
Matthew 6:33 is the key Scripture here to stepping into this prophecy: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you." The Amplified translation expands on this: "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides."
Make a decision today to seek the Lord first and foremost and listen to His voice. Discipline yourself to rise up early in the morning or cut out unprofitable activities in exchange for eternal rewards. Feed yourself a steady diet of the Word of God, pray, fast and believe. This is the year of the next level. Let's soar like eagles for the glory of God!

Doug Addison: "New Levels of Peace and Provision for Transition" - THE ELIJAH LIST

Doug Addison: "Prophetic Word: New Levels of Peace and Provision for Transition"

by Doug Addison
Nov 12, 2015
Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
Here is another "spot on" word from our friend, Doug Addison. Many prophetic voices have spoken recently about the number 11, as we are in the 11th month and is symbolic of transition. Doug shares here:
God is giving clear signs to help guide you through the transitions, so watch for them. Expect to see provision and greater resources become available to you. Be willing to let go of the old to open up the new. In most cases, you will need to take a step of faith for these new doors of opportunity to open for you.
We are in an important "transition time" in the Church where God is telling us over and over again that we are moving out of the old and opening up the NEW that He has for us.
Read this crucial word by Doug...and learn how you can get positioned to transition into the new!

This month of November is a time when we will see many spiritual changes. November is the 11th month, and the number 11 is symbolic of transition.
September 23, 2015, was Yom Kippur, the most holy day on the Jewish calendar. Jewish people believe that this is the day the Books of Heaven are opened over our lives and over leaders and nations. God releases our destiny for the next year at that time.
Many people were promoted to a new level in the spirit or in maturity this year. Along with this comes a major transitional shift that takes time to work out the new plans in our lives. (Photo via Doug Addison)
Because of all the transition happening over your spiritual life, new spiritual gifts are being given to you and new angels are being assigned. As this happens you might not be as familiar with them or know just how things work just yet. As our callings and assignments change we cannot assume that we can do things the way we used to.
Watch For the New
As we enter into a new season we need to embrace this:
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past" (Isaiah 43:18).
It is important not to assume that we can do things the way we did before. Consider what happened to Moses when God spoke to him to strike a rock and water would miraculously flow from it (see Exodus 17:6). Then later, in a new season, God told him to speak to the rock and not to strike it (see Numbers 20:7-12).
Unfortunately, Moses used an old way of doing things and hit the rock instead of speaking to it. Even though the miracle happened and water flowed from it, because he did not follow God's instructions it limited him in fulfilling his life calling.
God is giving clear signs to help guide you through the transitions, so watch for them. Expect to see provision and greater resources become available to you. Be willing to let go of the old to open up the new. In most cases, you will need to take a step of faith for these new doors of opportunity to open for you.

Angels of Peace and Provision
On October 6, at 6:33 AM, I had a spiritual encounter and I was taken into a trance-like state (see Acts 10:10) that lasted 33 minutes. An angel came into the room and laid hands on me and imparted peace and spoke words from Matthew 6:33-34. The angel spoke the words, "Don't worry," as God's presence and peace enveloped me and formed a shield or force field, like a coat of armor.

But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33-34
As I came out of this spiritual experience, I heard the Holy Spirit say that people everywhere are getting this impartation of peace and provision to rise above the storms happening right now. Whether you are aware of an angel or not, receive this by faith that God is giving you new levels of peace and the resources you will need to get through this time of transition.
Fear Versus Wisdom
We are entering into seven years of new, divine opportunities to advance God's Kingdom and receive repayment for losses over the past 14 years (since 2001). I released this last April in a prophetic word titled "Don't Hold Back."
Many people have told me that they were holding back on decisions, buying houses, moving, taking jobs, etc., because they believed the economy was going to crash last September. This kind of thinking is usually motivated by fear and will actually cause things to crash in your life. It is important to get on God's timetable and to forget some things that are no longer relevant for this season.
We need to understand the difference between fear and wisdom. When your decisions are motivated by fear you will not have a plan. When you are using wisdom, you will have heard from God and you will make decisions with divine intentions. (Photo via Pixabay)
Operating out of fear can cause you to hesitate or hold back and possibly miss God's timing. There are times that you may need to use wisdom and put things on hold. But this usually comes with peace (not fear) and God confirms it with a plan or solution.
God is releasing divine solutions and it is not the time to hold back, but to move forward with confidence. Listen to God as plans and strategies are coming for the next seven years of blessing.
Enter Into God's Rest
Last month I released a prophetic word that over the next 24 weeks, through March 9, 2016, it will be important to pull back and get a new strategy. I want to encourage you to respond to this by taking time to rest and get refreshed. As you do this, you will see new plans come to you that you will need to succeed in 2016.
Blessings,
Doug Addison

Time of Sifting Turning to Shifting by Doug Addison

Time of Sifting Turning to Shifting 

by Doug Addison

Identity Network

 
Jesus told Simon Peter in Luke 22:31 "Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat."

 
When we step into higher callings or promotions, it requires us to go through a time of testing. We have all been going through this. Notice it says, "Satan has asked to sift all of you." We have ALL been going through a time of shifting and sifting. But this testing time is coming to an end.

 
God is Readjusting Kingdom Assignments

 
Mantles are major callings from God that require years of preparation. Often many people value mantles instead of recognizing God's assignments. But what we miss is that the Kingdom of God operates more along the lines of assignments.

 
We are used to hearing about demonic assignments. Satan imitates the things of God. We know that there are angels and that assignments are given to us to advance God's Kingdom on earth.

 
An example of this is in Acts 1:8 when Jesus spoke to His followers, the apostles, just before returning to Heaven. He gave them an assignment: they got the power of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:17-18 and they became His witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea. But they never ventured outside of their comfort zones to Samaria and the ends of the earth.

 
It took ten years for God to raise up others to fulfill the assignment to Samaria. In Acts 8, it was Phillip, a deacon, who went to Samaria. Then in Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas took the message of Jesus to what they considered the ends of the earth.

 
These were assignments, not mantles. As you step into an assignment and go through the testing, it then develops into spiritual authority. An office or mantle can further be established in your life and ministry. It takes years. And honestly, most people give up.

 
Our Gifts are Functions, not Titles

 
When we stay with what God has called us to do then God can promote us into a closer relationship with Him. He grants us greater authority to do the work we are called to on earth.

 
I am a prophet but it has been decades in the making and it wasn't until 2010 when it started to take shape.

 
But after a commissioning time in 2010, I went through three years of extreme rejection. I was banned from speaking in the churches I helped start, people lied against me, there was jealousy and misunderstandings. I had both Christians and the occult praying against me. I ended up very sick, depressed and in debt.

 
But in 2013 I was given prophetic strategies to get out of debt and the favor of God and man is rapidly returning. Jesus also visited me on August 31, 2013 and gave me new strategies for breakthrough.

 
If you resist or give up during the testing times, you then adjust back down to the level of authority you can handle in your life. This is God's grace and love and not a demotion. He does not want you to die - because higher callings can indeed kill you if you are not prepared.

 
Assignments and Callings Reshuffled

 
You have to understand the aspect of assignments to grasp what I am about to share with you. We have assignments and we are being sent by God to fulfill them.

 
"Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them." 1 Corinthians 7:17 NIV

 
I have been seeing assignments being reshuffled and dealt out to new people. This is because others either said no, got under warfare and quit, or whatever. This is the time to ask God for an assignment that has been discarded and the grace to carry it out.

 
Spiritual Promotions

 
Often times we don't recognize when we are promoted spiritually. This is because it usually is not announced but suddenly, we feel extra pressure.

 
Think about taking on more responsibility or getting promoted in your job. You are really encouraged and feel good at first. Then you realize that the new job is stretching you, causing you to learn and use more effort.

 
This is the same as when you get a spiritual promotion. You move into a new season where you are being stretched. And just like with a job, there might be people who treat you differently or are jealous.

 
This happens with the demonic realm and you may encounter some "spiritual bullying."  Promotions are major shifts in our life that after you begin to grow more from the experience you settle into the new authority you have in the spirit.

 
Everything Happens to You

 
The most beneficial thing for you right now is to realize that everything that happens to you is allowed by God to help you mature and grow. Once you realize this, you can gain a higher perspective on your life and the trials you are facing.

 
Life is never without trying times and pain. The key to it all is how you view it. If you think everything that is happening to you is punishment from God, then the enemy has succeeded in short-circuiting your spiritual growth.

 
If you think bad things happen to you because you must have done something wrong, then you will most likely not get out of the loop of discouragement.

 
The fastest way to grow and mature is to realize that God loves you and is not your enemy. Begin to see your pain or disappointments as a time of learning.

 
You can change anything in your life right now by changing the way you view it and how it affects you. Here's some good news for you: people who have a higher calling and great destiny receive lots of discouragement and setbacks. This is because what you will learn through it all goes into a firm foundation that God can build your tall calling on.

Where You lead, we will follow.


Where You lead Lord, we will follow.
What better path is there for us?

His refreshing water will be provided.

Adventures in the new assignment.


Follow the path set before you.


Walk on the path the Lord sets before you. As you go in obedience, it will open new adventures and provision in His plans and purposes for you and those who are to come also. It may look uncertain at first, but as in all new assignments, they are just that way. Have faith in God.

His Holy Spirit is with us always, to guide and direct our steps. Provision, encouraging faith, signs and understanding will be ours as we go forward.

We will do Your will O Lord.
