Prophetic Dream: The Year of Authentic Identity - RYAN JOHNSON CHARISMA NEWS

Do you want to be the wheat?
Do you want to be the wheat? (Lightstock )

Prophetic Dream: The Year of Authentic Identity


Recently I had a quick but very intense dream of a large field filled with wheat swaying back and forth with the wind.
In the dream, I specifically saw large, rolling hills of wheat going up and down through the large amount of land. It seemed to be covering every aspect of land that I could see in every direction.
As the wind picked up, the wheat naturally began to take the impact of the effects. It was then in the vision that I began to notice a distinct sound due to the wind hitting the wheat. It was almost like a scene from a movie but the wheat became enlarged to my eyesight and I noticed that the wheat was taking a beating from the tares that were in the field as well.
The noise I heard appeared to be coming from the tares themselves. It was an odd noise in which that the only way I can describe it was like an abusive attacker. As the wind picked up, the tares keep thrashing the wheat that began to go lower than the tares. It appeared that the tares were actually beating the wheat down to the ground.
As this was happening for a while the wheat became superimposed again, but this time when I saw the wheat (because it was so close to my eyes), I could no longer see the tares. It was then that I realized that the tares were not actually beating the wheat down, but the wheat where becoming prostrate and, through that, the wheat were producing fruit. Immediately when I saw this, I yelled out in my dream, "Lord I know this! I recognize that the wheat will produce fruit and bow down."
Immediately the wind stopped and I heard in my spirit, "Son, I am going to use the wind of my Spirit in such a way that the year before you will be a year of authentic identity. What has seemed like a battle from those who only appear righteous, is a part of what I am releasing. I will position many to be brought forth from the field, from the depth of hills and valleys, where no man has seen or recognized the voice of the fruit they will bear. They will no more be hidden and what has appeared to be violent at the hands of those who desire to see the wheat fail, I am using the wind of my spirit to raise authentic fruit from a prostrate position."
In my dream, I began to weep as I heard the voice of the LORD and as I wept, I began to say over and over, "Lord, I want to be that wheat. I want to be that authentic identity." As I was doing this, the wind began to pick up again, but this time it felt like it was surrounding me. It was then I woke up.
I have weighed this dream in my spirit and I believe that the LORD is calling every son and daughter of God to realize the importance of being real—not what a denomination says you are to be. Not what a group says you are to be. Not what the TV evangelist, your pastor, the guest speaker and so on. ... God is calling you to be who you are to be ... authentic.
The time of imitations, echoes and Internet sermons is coming to an end. God is calling forth those who have been planted to be exactly who He created, destined and dreamed you to be. With that, I believe that 2016 is the year of Authentic Identity. God, unlike days before, is establishing authentic apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, evangelists, deacons, elders, revivalists, pioneers, forerunners, worshippers, dancers, artists and authors through a distinct wind of His Spirit.

Contend for Your Breakthrough by Doug Addison

Contend for Your Breakthrough 

by Doug Addison

Identity Network

 
Forerunners are Emerging
 
Don't be alarmed by all the disasters and unrest in the world. This is a time to stay at peace and stay on course with what God is revealing to you. The turmoil is birth pains of something new from God that is now emerging.
 
God is raising many people up as forerunners to the new movement that is upon us. We are called to be "new wineskin" believers that will be willing to love people and not judge them. This new move of God that is upon us is a release of supernatural love and mercy.
 
Relationships Restored
 
In January 2015 I released a prophetic word for the year 2015. This is what God spoke to me about the month of May:
 
God is going to begin to accelerate things. Just as May is the fifth month, so it will be a time of a supernatural release of grace (five is symbolic of grace). The spirit and ministry of reconciliation will be released and relationships will be restored. This will happen even with your own relationship with God as He reveals Himself as a Father to you. There will be a deep mending of hidden hopelessness and building of a greater trust in you.
 
I responded to this in my own life by reaching out to five people and asking forgiveness. I invite you to try this as well. In the season we are now in, it is important to keep the spiritual atmosphere clear. God is in the business of reconciling people and we have to embrace people different than us as well as those that we have disagreements with.
 
2 Corinthians 5:19 NIV God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
 
Get Ready for Things to Move Fast
 
Expect fast movement, realigning and relocation. Some people will need to move to new jobs or associations to advance. This is not just for physical moving but for all sorts of different areas of life. Sudden movement, quick advancement and realignment will be the result of new assignments coming to people.
 
The purpose behind this is to get you in the right place at the right time. There have been people in your old season that might not recognize the advancement you are making. We can sometimes be held back by not moving forward.
 
Contending for Your Breakthrough
 
I have been prophesying this: this is a season of time that you can recover things that were stolen or lost over the past seven years or more. You have to press in and contend for it!
 
I recommend reading 1 Samuel 30 where David had lost everything and his followers were ready to kill him.
 
In the midst of his distress, he inquired of God and got a strategy (verse 7). He was able to recover his losses and in chapter 31 his life destiny radically shifted. He went from running from the enemy to ruling as King of Israel. But it was not without a battle!
 
This is a prophetic word for now: inquire of God and get your strategy to break through. I was healed of Huntington's chorea and Lyme disease as well as several other things that have come against me. To be honest I did not feel like I could go on one more day. But like David, I inquired of God and got a strategy. From there I took radical steps that eventually turned things around.
 
I just released a new blog on how I inquired of the Lord and got out of a major amount of debt and received several major healings.
 
Judgments Make Things Slippery
 
I had a dream that I was trying to walk up a ramp with others to get to a new level. As we all tried to move forward, we kept slipping backwards. God spoke to me in the dream that judgments against other people will prevent us from getting to the next level. I woke up repenting for any judgments I might have. I also knew that this is a word for the greater Church.
 
Matthew 7:1-2 NIV (Jesus said) "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
 
If you judge other people and you yourself have the same sin in your life then you will begin to lose your authority. But if you extend grace and love to others you will begin to experience a new level of freedom.
 
You don't have to agree with a person or their lifestyle but we are required to love. There is a move of God coming for those that we have judged. We need to repent of judgments so that we can minister to others with a pure heart. Because David extended grace and spared King Saul's life, it set him up to later receive grace from God when he needed it during his own difficult times.
 
Get out of Solitary Confinement
 
I released a prophetic word recently about people being under "House of God arrest." This is similar to house arrest - because of accusations you have been limited in your calling. God is breaking that off.
 
But as a result of their house arrest season many people have been in solitary confinement. God is calling those who have been in isolation to come out. Many of you were wounded and rejected and you recoiled. It is time to come out and experience a new level of healing and restoration.
 
Rise Above
 
The prophetic word I released for 2015 is that this is the year of the "Open door in Heaven."  God showed me Revelation 4:1, that we need to "come up here and I will show you the things that are about to take place".
 
We need to rise above our current trials and situations and gain God's perspective. We have had to battle the continual attacks of the enemy for the past few years but we will not back down.
 
Galatians 6:9 NIV Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
 
Let's agree in prayer together for our breakthrough strategy.
 
Blessings.

Tim Sheets: "Doors to New History Are Now Opening - A New Movement Will Now Move Forth"

Tim Sheets:
The Elijah List

Steve ShultzThe following is a Prophetic Word given by Apostle Tim Sheets at the conference "The Cry" last week with guests Lou Engle, Dutch Sheets, Tim Sheets, Mark Casto, Jimmy Lovejoy, Isaiah Saldivar and James Taylor. This conference brought together the generations and we heard from the Generals and we heard from the Sons.

Prophetic word spoken by Apostle Tim Sheets on Thursday, July 17, 2014:

"A New Movement - A Pure Stream of My Gospel"

"The Spirit of the Lord declares to His Church – Doors to new history are now opening. A new movement will now move forth. 

A new stream from My Throne is flowing and it will be a pure stream of My Gospel. For the stream of My Gospel has been diverted and dammed up by those who wanted the benefits of reservoired blessings; but I will now blow up the religious dams. I will now discipline the spiritual hoarders and I will have a Gospel that flows freely with My Spirit.

"My movement will move. It is built to move and it will move empowered by the fresh winds of My Spirit and soaked with fresh oil. It shall be a pure Gospel stream that is lit with the fire of My cause, one that I can confirm with signs, with wonders, and with miracles, one that is not diluted with flesh or pride or immorality or greed, one that I can back with awesome Kingdom assets, one that I can marshal My angel armies behind; a Gospel of awesome power that will now surge forward, and the generations will synergize their efforts together for the revival of ingathering such has not been seen before.

"A Shift In Leadership Will Now Occur...Who Are They?"

"And I am calling to My Gideons – come Gideons! Come from your hiding places and stop the raiding of harvests. I have seen you behind the winepress. I have seen your secret toil. I have heard your cries for relief. Now hear My cry. Now hear My voice rise and see the strong arm of the Lord your God. I have seen your heart and I will now empower you. I will defeat the enemy, and you will enjoy the spoils of victory. You will say, 'Our enemy has resourced us. Our enemy has stored abundance for us. We have more because of war.'

"A shift in leadership will now occur," says the Lord. "A new breed of leaders will be revealed in My Kingdom. The obscure ones who have served faithfully will now receive promotion. Though man has not seen, I have seen. It will be said, 'Where did they come from? Who are they?'

"And I will advocate saying, 'These are they who have come from My presence. These are they who would not compromise. These are they who would not be muzzled. These are they who would not bow to darkness. These are they who would not appease humanity with enticing words but have stood strong with My words.' 

(Photo by Jennifer Page "His Flame"via elijahshopper.com)

"They did not flinch. They did not bow their knee to blended religion and doctrines of men. They did not tolerate the diluting of My message and the mocking of My ways. They have stood unashamed for Me. Now I will stand unashamed for them. I have proclaimed their victory and I will oversee it.

"The Birthing of Forerunners Who Will Run..."

"Multiplied grace is now flowing. Bound souls shall be set free. Captive hearts shall be delivered. The blinded by sin and iniquity shall be liberated from Hell's bondage as the revival of ingathering now springs forward.

"The synergized generation in sync with My angel armies and soaked in the presence of My Spirit will now leap forward into great revival. It will be a movement that moves – moves in power, moves with passion, moves in purity. Notable miracles will spring forth. They are leaping in your midst.

"The revival in the womb of My intercessors is now leaping. It is leaping from the womb of their travail. It is now time for the birthing of forerunners who will run. Leap into your destiny. Leap through the open door. Leap into your future." –Spoken by Apostle Tim Sheets

Tim Sheets:
Leap Into Your Future – 
Doors of New History 
Will Now Be Open

Tim SheetsOn January 24, 2014, we hosted our Annual Prophetic Summit. The speakers were Tim Sheets, Dutch Sheets, and Barbara Wentroble. The following word was given by Apostle Tim Sheets:

God Is Opening Doors

The year 2014 is 5774 on the Hebraic calendar – Ayin Dalet. The Hebrew calendar speaks to us prophetically. The number 4 is the letter Dalet. Dalet is the word for "door," or an open tent flap, or the opening into a new territory. 

5774 is also a Leap Year in the Hebraic cycle. Ayin Dalet references a year of open doors – so you can leap forward, that is, a year of open doors so you can spring forward.
God is opening doors
Holy Spirit is going to open doors supernaturally for His people this year to surge ahead. 

Many in the Body of Christ have had doors closed by adverse circumstances, by demon attacks, by financial attacks, even people attacks, but we come together to declare the word of the Lord.

God is right now opening doors for us to leap forward. He is opening doors for us to surge ahead, and we are now going to run through open doors and spring into our future. 

We're going to leap over adverse circumstances. We're going to leap over demon attacks. We're going to leap over financial attacks. We're going to spring into hope that is sure. It is steadfast. It is immoveable. We're going to overcome and we're going to reign – demonstrating a superior power in our Kingdom.

"Arise, And I Will Empower You"

The Spirit of the Lord declares to the Church,"Doors of new history will now be opened

A new movement will now spring forth. A new stream from My throne will begin to flow. It is a pure stream of pure Gospel; for the stream of My Gospel has been diverted and dammed up by those who wanted the benefits of reservoired blessings, but I will now blow up the dams.

"I will have a Gospel that flows and flows freely. My movement will move. It is built to move and it will move. Empowered by fresh downpours, fresh rain – the downpours of Heaven will fill it to overflowing. It will leap to flood stage. It will not be confined by Laodiceans. It shall be a pure Gospel stream that is lit with the fire of My cause, one that I can back with signs, with wonders, and with miracles; one that is not diluted by pride, immorality or greed, one that I can marshal Heaven's army behind, one that I can back with awesome Kingdom power.

God will empower you"And the generations will synergize their efforts together for the revival of ingathering such has not been seen heretofore. I am calling My Gideons to come out of hiding and stop the raiding of My harvest. I have seen you behind the winepress. I have seen your secret toil. I have heard your cries. Now hear Mine. Arise and I will empower you. Arise for the days that are in front of you, and leap into the future that I have ordained for you. 

(Mural Photo via Empower Yourself/by Jay Moli)

"I will synergize the warriors, the eagle warriors with my remnant warriors, those who have faithfully committed themselves to Me. I will synergize them together now for the greatest move that I have ever released upon this earth. You shall now see and you shall now know that there is a Kingdom that is indeed at hand, and it is an awesome Kingdom. 

I've seen your heart and I will empower you. You will defeat your enemy, and you will enjoy the spoils of victory. You will say, 'Our enemy has resourced us. Our enemy has poured abundance for us. We have more because of war.'

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

"A shift in leadership will now come," says the Lord. "A new breed of leaders will be revealed in My Kingdom. 

The obscure ones who have served faithfully will now receive promotion man has not seen – but have seen. 

It will be said, 'Where did they come from? Who are they?' And I will advocate for them.
"I will say, 'These are they who came from My presence. 

These are they who would not compromise

These are they who would not be muzzled; they would not bow to darkness. These are they who have not been appeasing of humanistic ways with enticing words, but have stood for Me and My words. These are they that did not flinch. These are they that would not bend their knee to blended religion or doctrines of demons. They stood unashamed for Me; now I will stand unashamed for them. I will side with them. I have proclaimed their victory, and now I will oversee its completion."

Divine Alignment Will Spring Forth In Your Life

"Can there be an abundance in Goshen? Can there be plenty in My remnant camp? Watch and see. 

Great deliverance is coming. New history is coming. Abundance is coming. 

The set time has come for the war eagle generation of young reformers to partner with the remnant generation, and there will now come a divine alignment. This will spring forth.
Aligned"There will now come a functioning Church in the midst of dysfunction. Multiplied grace is now being poured forth. Bound souls shall be set free. 

Captives in heart will be delivered. Those blinded by sin and iniquity will be liberated from Hell's bondage as the revival of the ingathering now leaps ahead. The synergized generations in sync with My angel armies and soaked in the fresh rains of Heaven will now leap forward into great revival. 

It will be a movement that moves in power, in passion, and in purity. I will back it with signs, wonders and with miracles. 

(Properly Aligned Photo via AndyStevensLive.com)

"Notable miracles are leaping forth. Notable miracles are leaping into your region. Notable miracles are leaping into your households. 

The revival in the womb of My intercessors is now leaping in them. It's leaping from the womb of those in travail. 

It is now time for the birthing of forerunners who will run. Leap into your future. The door is open!"
