Jeff Jansen: "Past, Present and Future Mantles
and the Great Phoenix of the Holy Spirit"

Jul 20, 2017

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Saints, are you feeling ready for a Glory Revival? So many of you have been watching and praying to see a glorious outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Well...be encouraged as you read through this latest word by Jeff Jansen.

He shares about an encounter he had, as well as the interpretation of what he believes is coming for the Church as he shares:

Adam's rebellion toward God ended in spiritual death, resulting in separation from God. But now what was hidden deep in the spirit of man is being uncovered and rediscovered by a family of sons and daughters of God all around the world. All things have been put in subjection under the feet of Jesus Christ and we are part of His Body – so all things are under our feet.

Take some time to prayerfully consider this word and look with HOPE to the future for what's to come! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Past, Present and Future Mantles and the Great Phoenix of the Holy Spirit"

Jeff Jansen, Murfreesboro, TN

Friends, I've been in an extended season of prayer and preparation for what I believe will be the release of the next level of outpouring and Glory Revival in our time. We are coming into a place in human history where all the deposits and cumulative anointings from past generations will be poured out upon a company of Believers who have been prepared through their process to carry it. For those who are hungry there is a fresh proficiency, revelation and power being offered that will mark individuals for a new era in Christendom, affecting generations to come.

Mantles in the Heavenly Locker Room

Several years ago I was taken to a room in the spirit that looked like a football locker room. In this room I saw mantles hanging from shaker pegs, and above the mantles were the names of great men and women of God, both in Scripture and recent days, who helped shape the course of history for breakthrough in their generation.

I saw names like Elijah, Jeremiah, Enoch, Isaiah, Charles Finney, William Branham, Smith Wigglesworth, Maria Woodworth-Etter, Katherine Kuhlman and others. The Lord was standing with me in this vision and said, "Jeff, choose one, I'll give it to you."

"It took the death of Jesus Christ, the One True Heavenly King, to restore us to our rightful place as kings and lords of the earth."

As I was pondering which mantle to choose I turned to the Lord and said, "I don't know which one to choose Lord, You choose for me." At a different time when I was recalling this encounter to Bob Jones he said, "Boy, that was the best answer you could have given the Lord. You let Him choose for you."

At that point I found myself with a mortar and pestle in my hand, and the Lord handed me three pills and said, "Grind them." As I was grinding the three pills the Lord said, "These three pills are the past, present and future mantles that are being offered to this generation."

The Lord was offering the cumulation of all past, present and future mantles to be poured out upon a glory generation that will be fully equipped to bring about the greatest revival and harvest the world has ever seen.

The Great Phoenix of the Holy Spirit

Recently I saw a great fire bird in the spirit flying over the city of Atlanta. The fire bird is commonly known as a Phoenix, and Atlanta is known as the "Phoenix of the South". I watched as I saw the whole city set ablaze as the Holy Spirit flew criss-cross over the city, releasing a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit upon those who are gathering and contending for outpouring and revival.

I saw people coming out of wheel chairs, deaf were hearing, and the blind saw, along with many staggering signs and wonders as the fire bird released wave after wave of fresh Holy Ghost power. The Lord was showing me that Atlanta was a prototype of what will happen in many cities globally. Immediately I thought of the Seraphim in Isaiah 6:3 that cried, "...Holy, Holy, Holy...the whole earth is filled with His glory." (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple. Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wings he flew. And one called out to another, saying, 'Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.' And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke." (Isaiah 6:1-4 AMP)

Seraphim are "burning ones" that fly above the throne and the Lord of glory. One of the functions of the Seraphim is "healing". One of God's names is Raphim(Jehovah Rapha) – which is "the God who heals" – so these burning ones that come out of the presence of the Lord are literally burning, healing angels.

This fiery Phoenix of the Spirit was being released over places of great hunger to release fresh miracles, healing, and signs and wonders to the sons of the Kingdom. 

We can begin to see healing revival burn in the most unexpected places in this new season.

Kingdom Family Business

All of these prophetic encounters and promises are wonderful, but are pointing at something much greater. Yes it's for revival, yes it's for the harvest – but God has a much larger view in mind. We can describe the plan of God as simple. It is to extend the rule of His unseen Kingdom through a family of heirs – sons and daughters.

These offspring will act as God, on behalf of God, being His legal representatives and judiciaries on the planet, carrying out His orders and implementing the will of their Father and older heavenly Brother, Jesus Christ. From the dawn of time it has always been about family, about the Father and His children, and it will continue to be so until the end days. It's high time now for us to be about the Father's business. After the resurrection Jesus told Mary who was the first to see Him: "Go to My brothers and say to them, I'm ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God" (John 20:17 NKJV).

"For those who are hungry there is a fresh proficiency, revelation and power being offered that will mark individuals for a new era in Christendom, affecting generations to come."

We are the brothers and sisters of Jesus. His Father is our Father; His God is our God. Jesus is the firstborn among many brothers:

"For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters."(Rom. 8:29 NLT)

Jesus is the prototype for all His brothers and sisters who find their way to the Father to share with Him as heirs of the coming Kingdom. Jesus was not ashamed to call us brothers because we are family with Him. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).

He gave those who believe in His name the right, ability, and privilege to become children of God.

A New Place in Human History

We are in a place and time in human history where we are starting to see the children of the Kingdom come into maturity. These seeds are coming of age and are beginning to bring about fruit that resemble the original Seed, Jesus Christ.

Through His children, God is establishing His Kingdom and purposes on the earth. He rules the seen world from the unseen world through our spirit, and is birthing His initiatives through us in the physical world. The fruitful journey of Jesus was well documented as He traveled about cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news, the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. He cured every sickness, disease, and infirmity that He encountered, further preparing the soil and sowing the precious seed (see Matt. 4:23; 9:35).

Everywhere He preached the Gospel, Jesus displayed His power with wild miracles, signs, and wonders. God expects His family to do the same thing – acting the same way as Jesus did. Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

"Because you are His sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.' So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir." (Galatians 4:7).

Adam's rebellion toward God ended in spiritual death, resulting in separation from God. But now what was hidden deep in the spirit of man is being uncovered and rediscovered by a family of sons and daughters of God all around the world. 

All things have been put in subjection under the feet of Jesus Christ and we are part of His Body – so all things are under our feet.

The Lion of Judah is Roaring Again

Excerpt from "Furious Sound of Glory" by Jeff Jansen:

"It took the death of Jesus Christ, the One True Heavenly King, to restore us to our rightful place as kings and lords of the earth. It was for the joy that was set before Him that He endured the Cross, knowing that on the other side of the pain there would be you and I, the redeemed sons and daughters of the Heavenly King. His intention was that the one true Heavenly King (Jesus) would live through the many kings on the earth and establish His reign of authority through a family. So, in this final chapter of human history and on this side of eternity, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is roaring again.

"The final chapter of these events will be so terrible, so incredible in the earth that even the elements will shudder with great shaking as angels and demons wage war in the heavenly realm. Intercession will focus on the arrival and coming forth of a Kingdom family who is filled with the sound of His roar. They will have power and authority to manifest the glory of God in the earth, breaking the curse over creation and releasing healing in the nations, causing them to flourish once again in the glorious freedom for which they were created. Some would say, 'Jeff this is too far-reaching, merely visions of grandeur!' In reality, these Scriptural truths are yet to be apprehended and walked out by a supernatural Church – the called out ones or the ecclesia. This company of Believers will reach far beyond the normative mind-sets of the day and demonstrate the miraculous in ways not seen in Church history. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price in Blood through Calvary to open the heavens and restore to us the keys to the Kingdom. He will reap the reward of His suffering.

"Even now, the clash between Heaven and earth is mounting. Darkness has become increasingly dark and powerful as we draw near to the end and toward the Great Revival. The Church is under pressure and is being squeezed to produce the sweet wine of Heaven. There are great pressures in the earth and pressure in the heavens. Cosmic violence is beginning to spill out upon the earth. Heaven is not for the faint of heart but is a violent realm causing even the strongest to fear and tremble. This heavenly fury will be poured out in these last days upon an end-time army of God that has been prepared to carry it. And this army will unleash the Spirit of Revival in the nations of the earth. We must get ready for the unleashing of the furious sound of glory–the roar of power and love that transforms the earth." (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Prophecy: 'I Will Remove the Dividing Line to Bring a Unified Korea' - JEFF JANSEN CHARISMA NEWS

"I will remove the dividing line in the nation of Korea that has divided My people for 70 years, and just as I brought a swift justice to My people who were in Babylonian captivity after 70 years, they will be released to their land to rebuild." (Pixabay)

Prophecy: 'I Will Remove the Dividing Line to Bring a Unified Korea'

4/27/2017 JEFF JANSEN  CHARISMA NEWS

Plans of Peace to Give Korea a Future and a Hope

I love the nation of South Korea, as I have been going there for many years now. The Korean Christians are some of the most dedicated, loving people I know. From my years of ministry in Seoul, Incheon and other cities in South Korea, there is a common cry that echoes from that nation— that God would remove the dividing line and make a unified Korea again. I've heard story after story from leaders to lay people of those who have family separated in both North and South Korea. It is the heart of God to bring healing to that divided nation and to make "One Unified Korea" again.

After the cold war in 1945, tensions heated up along the 38th parallel separating into the North and South zones, and by May 1946 it was illegal to pass between this line without a permit. In 1947 (70 years ago this year), the UN passed a resolution on November 14, 1947, declaring that free elections should be held. By August 15th, 1948, both the divided North and South were liberated from Japanese occupation and independence was established. The Lord says:

"I will remove the dividing line in the nation of Korea that has divided My people for 70 years, and just as I brought a swift justice to My people who were in Babylonian captivity after 70 years, they will be released to their land to rebuild."

"For thus says the Lord: When seventy years [of exile] have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jer. 29:10-11).

Just as Daniel understood the times and the season of God's people being released into freedom from Babylonian captivity, so now is the time for those who are held captive in the North to be set free. Daniel began to pray and confess his sins and the sins of his people. It's time to pray! As a result of Daniel's intercession, God sent both Gabriel and Michael the archangels to fight and bring wisdom, skill, knowledge and understanding (Dan. 9:22). I see angels being released as arrows of the Lord to bring transition and healing to the fragmented nation of Korea!

The 110-Year Anniversary of the Pyongyang Revival of 1907

Just as we celebrated the 110-year anniversary of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival last year in America, so this year marks the 110-year anniversary of the great revival that hit the unified Korea in Pyongyang in 1907. This revival swept the nation of Korea, bringing reformation. In January 1907, after months of persistent prayer, 50,000 people were converted in that one year and Korea was set ablaze—it was known as the Pyongyang Great Revival (1907-1910).

The Lord said He was going to release His hidden power again in the nation of Korea:

"The Lord (Father) says to my lord (the Messiah, His Son), 'Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies your footstool.' The Lord shall send your mighty scepter out of Zion, rule in the midst of your enemies. Your people will follow you in the day of Your battle (Ps. 110:1-3a).

Just as revival fire swept through the nation 110 years ago this year, so the "Day of Your Power" is here again that will bring another wave of revival and restoration to the nation of Korea. In order for this to happen, it is absolutely necessary that things "heat up" in the North to bring about the resolve necessary for change. The demonized regime of the North will be dispersed and let go so healing can come to the whole nation.

God will restore and reunite family members that have been separated for generations as a result. Just as Daniel recognized transition according to the word of the Lord and set himself to pray, we too must pray as we see these things approaching. God is releasing all of Heaven to facilitate this process. He is releasing His declaration through the "whirlwind of the South."

The Whirlwind of Revival Is Blowing in the South

I'm getting ready to go back to Seoul this week, and the Lord said to me, "Just as Pyongyang (in the North) was the place of the great revival that released an outpouring of Holy Ghost fire throughout the whole nation of Korea, so now the Lord says: I will release My whirlwind of the South upon the whole nation that will bring revival, liberty and unification to both North and South. I will restore all that has been stolen from My people and I will release My arrows (angels) over them, declaring and decreeing with the blast of My trumpet over a unified Korea. I will defend and protect you from the enemy who seeks to destroy, devour and trample you down with sling stones."

Listen to Zechariah: 

Return to your stronghold, prisoners who now have hope.
    Today I declare that I will return to you a double portion.
 Because I have bent Judah as My bow
    and fitted the bow with Ephraim.
I will stir up your sons, O Zion,
    against your sons, O Greece,
    and will set you like the sword of a warrior.

 Then the Lord will appear over them,
    and His arrow will go out like lightning.
The Lord God will sound His trumpet,
    and will march forth like storm winds of southern Teman.
  The Lord of Hosts will protect them.
They will devour up
    and subdue them with stone slingers.
And they will drink and make noise as with wine;
    they will be filled with blood as a bowl,
    saturated like the corners of the altar (Zech. 9:12-15).

Prophecy: The 2016 Election Is Paving the Way for the Rise of 'the Daniel Company' - BOB ESCHLIMAN CHARISMA NEWS

Prophecy: The 2016 Election Is Paving the Way for the Rise of 'the Daniel Company'

11/17/2016 BOB ESCHLIMAN  CHARISMA NEWS

The election of Donald Trump and Mike Pence last week was ordained by God for the purpose of restoring hope, purity and purpose to our nation, Jeff Jansen, founder of Global Fire Ministries International, recently wrote.

Echoing the sentiments of many evangelical faith leaders, Jansen wrote last week's electoral victory was a "modern-day political miracle," the likes of David defeating Goliath. He said no single state turned the election, but rather the prayers of the church, which came in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14.

"Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th president of the United States in a time that is so critical to the soul of our nation," he added. "God purposed him as His servant, with a special set of skills, power and ability, to break the bars of iron and bronze and to restore hope, purity and purpose to our nation. This would not have been possible if it weren't for the hidden 'Daniel Company' who understood the times and the season and prayed fervently as they understood breakthrough was on the horizon."

Jansen then goes on to explain how through the prayers of the Daniel Company, God single-handedly rescued our nation. He also explained the authority we have as Christ followers to make Throne Room decrees that can result in powerful change.

He also wrote that a new Daniel Company is rising up, and that Christians need to be prepared:

These new oracle wonder workers will change cities, regions and nations when they speak as the voice of God in the earth with the mighty word of power. They access and release realms of heavenly revelation with the unlimited anointing of power that comes from the presence of the Lord. Nothing will stand before them.

To date, we have seen many waves of revival hit the nations of the earth, but nothing like we are beginning to witness now. God is propelling the maturing body of Christ into a new place on the planet. A Daniel Company is rising with the burning coals of heaven on their lips. Like Moses, they will speak as "God-like ones," declaring and decreeing the very will of God through their words.

The multitudes will understand who God is as nations are shifted and multitudes come to Christ through demonstrations of power released through prophetic decree. We've seen some pretty remarkable things in past revivals, including the Welsh revival, The Great Awakening, Azusa Street, Latter Rain, The Voice of Healing of the 1940s and 1950s, and then later moves of God like the Toronto Blessing, Brownsville Revival and others. Impressive as they were, they were merely "previews of the coming attraction." They will all pale in comparison to the outpouring of this new season—the outpouring of the Spirit of Revival.

The church is growing into the revelation that we really are God's representatives on this planet. And as His governmental representatives on the earth we have been given the authority, ability and position to function with full legal kingdom rights to administer the job.

Jeff Jansen Sees Huge Gold Angel at Azusa Now - JENNIFER LECLAIRE CHARISMA NEWS

Jeff Jansen Sees Huge Gold Angel at Azusa Now

 4/10/2016 JENNIFER LECLAIRE  charisma news

Jeff Jensen speaks to the crowd at Azusa Now at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

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

---

History was made in Los Angeles on Saturday as Lou Engle, Mike Bickle, CIndy Jacobs, Jack Hayford and other generals of the faith gathered at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for Azusa Now.

Jeff Jansen, founder of Global Fire Ministries, told Charisma News he believes it was one of the most significant events of the past few decades.

"Amidst the worship and intercession I believe something highly significant has shifted in the spirit and that we have stepped into a new timeline of revival in the Lord that will result in revival fires burning in nit only America but the nations of the earth," Jansen says.

"Most already know that I am now co-hosting the Fire and Glory Outpouring in San Diego with good friends Jerame and Miranda Nelson. An outpouring of Glory and Power has been burning there for 75 nights now and people are coming from around the world to get a fresh touch from heaven. Wild miracles marked by tangible power and Presence of the Lord are poured out every night and all are excited in this fresh outpouring."

Jansen reminds that Azusa street revival of 1906 changed the course of world history as many new denominations were birthed through the raw supernatural power and Glory of God. So now 110 years later another fresh move of God is now being birthed and fresh revival fires will burn in many cities in the nations of the earth.

"As we were driving on Interstate 5 to the Azusa Now event on April 9, I saw a large gold angel standing over LA," Jansen says. "The Lord said, 'Just as the 1849 gold rush drew people to California ... So 4/9 2016 will mark a new gold rush of divine proportion that will once again draw the nations into revival."

"God is Unleashing the Furious Sound of Revival Awakening Upon the Earth"

Jeff Jansen, Murfreesboro, TN

The Suddenlies of God

Paul and Silas had been unjustly arrested. Because they had cast a spirit of divination out of a girl, the local Philippian authorities beat them and then threw them into the inner dungeon deep inside the prison. However, their crisis turned into an opportunity to experience a "suddenly" of God – a moment of divine intervention that instantly changes a situation.

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. Acts 16:23-25

Besides the trauma of the severe beating, they were fastened in shackles that clamped their arms and legs in an immobile position, causing cramps and loss of circulation. The atmosphere was depressing. According to the standards of that day, a prison resembled more of a dungeon; a dark, damp, stench-ridden place, with no facility for waste or comforts of any kind.

Yet, in spite of the throbbing pain in their bodies and the disheartening atmosphere, Acts 16:23-26 gives us a clue as to what they did that ushered in the sudden intervention of Heaven. At midnight Paul and Silas were heard praying and singing praises to God! What a strange sound this must have been to the other prisoners who were used to only hearing the groans or cursing of those who had been beaten. They must have been thinking, "Those stupid Christians. Where is your God now? Obviously He doesn't have the power to save you from your situation!" They were about to find out that these two followers of Christ could sing their way to freedom as their praises tapped into the raw power of God. It says that as Paul and Silas were singing at midnight (Photo via Freeimages):

"Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's [chains] were loosed" (Acts 16:26).

What caused this mighty discharge of power? The sound of the high praises of God vibrating through the atmosphere.

High Praise Unleashes the Presence & Power of God

Paul and Silas knew how to capture the attention of Heaven. They knew the power of thanksgiving and understood that the sound of high praise was the key to lifting their hearts above their situation into the presence and power of God. Not only did their shackles fall off, but everyone's shackles fell off!

In this generation there is coming a revelation and a release of the Spirit of Isaiah 61 that will result in people being set from every kind of life-controlling situation and captivity.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound. Isaiah 61:1

God is releasing His power through the sound of a praising company that even the elements will respond to. The praise and thanksgiving that came from Paul and Silas reached a crescendo in the atmosphere where Heaven responded with the "suddenlies" of God. The earth quaked, power was released from Heaven, and all were set free. (Photo via Pixabay)

We are in a season where God is releasing the furious sound of revival and awakening upon the earth, and we will see whole cities and regions overtaken in revival as atmospheric power manifests through the release of people of high praise. The earth will respond to the resonance and release of the glory of God through Believers upon the earth, and it will shake nations.

Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of His people. In other words, God "dwells" or actually lives in the atmosphere of His praise. When the praises go up, the glory comes down. This means that praise is not merely a reaction from coming into His presence – but rather praise is a vehicle of faith that releases the presence and power of God! You release praise and it opens up Heaven and brings the glory of God down. Praise is an action exercised by faith, and when released by the Believer toward God, it draws Heaven to earth around the individual and supernaturally changes the environment. Praise is the "gate" which allows us to enter His glory.

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah and a Mighty Shout in Heaven

Paul and Silas understood what it took in order to get the breakthrough in their situation so that everyone in the jail benefited as well. Today there is a shift taking place in the Church that will focus on Jesus Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. His roar will be heard and felt as a mighty vibration in the earth as it flows through the army of God. This vibration of the Spirit will be recognized by every living thing on the earth as well as the rest of creation. Did you notice the residual effect of the praise and thanksgiving of Paul and Silas resulted in an earthquake? Creation responded with an "amen" as these two sons of the Kingdom were harmonizing with the will of Heaven! A mighty vibration, or shaking, was released from the Throne Room resulting in an earthy quaking, and creation was moved.

After this I heard what sounded like a mighty shout of a great crowd in Heaven, exclaiming, "Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! Salvation and glory (splendor and majesty) and power (dominion and authority) [belong] to our God!..." And again they shouted, "Hallelujah (praise the Lord)!..." After that I heard what sounded like the shout of a vast throng, like the boom of many pounding waves, and like the roar of terrific and mighty peals of thunder, exclaiming, "Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! For now the Lord our God the Omnipotent (the All-Ruler) reigns! Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His Bride has prepared herself."Revelation 19:1, 3, 6-7 (emphasis mine)

According to the Scriptures, it appears that the Throne Room is a violent, noisy, powerful place where flashes of lightning and rumblings are accompanied by clashes of thunder and the terrific roar of multitudes praising and shouting "Hallelujah!" Heaven is not for the faint of heart. It is a place of great dread and power! This heavenly rage is what was released when Paul and Silas synchronized Heaven and earth. This power was released with such fury that every chain was broken and the earth resounded with the same quaking that was in Heaven. (Photo by Lillis Boyer "His Voice is Over Many Waters" via elijahshopper.com)

I'm telling you, I've been in meetings around the world where the greatest of miracles that have taken place were in the high praise of God. No man can do by the working of a gift what God will do when He releases His glory from the Throne Room of Heaven. I've seen those in wheel chairs stand up instantly, those on mats and cots in the United States and in third-world countries raised up by the atmospheric power of Heaven.

This was the case of revival meetings we did at Great Faith Bible Church in Seoul, South Korea. Six thousand people attended the nightly meetings, and before we got within a city block of the church, the glory of God could be felt in the air. It was electrifying! People would show up three to four hours early just to intercede for God to move. Each night we were so drunk in the Holy Ghost we would have to be escorted (practically carried) to the pastor's office and, then again, onto the stage to minister because of the overwhelming cloud of glory that was in the atmosphere. Miracle after staggering miracle took place each night. People brought in on mats would walk out healed. Countless blind and deaf individuals were completely healed. Tumors dissolved and legs grew out all because of the atmospheric glory of God that hovered in and around the building. It was literally like a tangible cloud you could feel.

There is not a sickness or disease known to man that can maintain its life force when the glory of God enters the atmosphere. Sickness is instantly driven out and demons must leave in the name of Jesus Christ. The earth shakes and quakes at the presence of the Lord. When Resurrection Life enters the room, the death causing peoples' emotional and physical issues must leave.

The Key of David

Keys open and close doors! Just as God places them upon the "shoulder" of the house of David, God also places them on us. David is a man who is known for his "worship" throughout Scripture. In a sense, worship is the key to opening doors. The keys to opening doors in the realm of the Spirit were not only given to Jesus, they are available to us as well. According to Isaiah 9:6, the government of the Kingdom of God rests upon the shoulder of Jesus. For foundational purposes, I want to take a quick look at the well-known key of David Scripture passage prophesied by Isaiah. Later we will go into greater detail.

And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open. And I will fasten him like a peg or nail in a firm place; and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father's house. And they will hang on him the honor and the whole weight of [responsibility for] his father's house: the offspring and issue [of the family, high and low], every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flasks and big bulging bottles. Isaiah 22:22-24

We see this passage is not directly directed toward the Lord or a Messianic prophecy, but rather is directed to an individual – Eliakim – which can also be directed to us:

"And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open" (verse 22).

The key of the house of David is laid upon the shoulder. Keys open doors. Jesus told Peter and the Church that He would give us the keys of the Kingdom. The Bible also states that Jesus is the "Head" and we are the "Body" or the "shoulders." When these "keys" are laid upon the shoulder of the worshipping Body of Christ, each and every person has the potential to open doors that no one will shut, and shut doors no one will open. (Photo by Robert Bartow "Open the Gates" via elijahshopper.com)

Becoming a Throne of Honor and Glory

These worshipping, warring, Kingdom-minded overcomers will not only possess the keys of the Kingdom, but will understand how to use them. They will be able to speak into every situation, both to the natural and the supernatural realm. They will be able to open doors that no man can shut, and shut doors that no one can open. Remember, we are the only ones in creation made in His image; therefore, we have the choice to align our sound with the sound of Heaven. And when this happens, there will be a company of Believers that will move with unlimited anointing and authority that will possess revelation knowledge of the blueprints of Heaven and understand their position and point of access. This is all too exciting, but let's look at the rest of the passage:

"And I will fasten him like a peg or nail in a firm place; and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father's house" (verse 23).

Isaiah saw this company of Believers and said that they would be like a peg or a nail in a firm place, like a peg that someone would use to hang a cloak or a mantle on!

The Scripture says that "...he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father's house." Who will become a throne of honor and glory? The one whom the key of the house of David rests upon. He will become unmovable to the world and will be fastened like a nail in a firm place. This individual will become a supernatural gateway for all of Heaven to flow through. Even more than that, it says that he will become a throne. I'm telling you that the worshipping sons of God will literally become the throne that the Lord Jesus Christ rests upon and flows through to reveal His Kingdom of power and glory!

Psalm 22:3 says that God is enthroned upon the praises of His people. The throne of God literally rests on the praises of His people. What does that look like? When we begin to praise God with the understanding that He is the great King of Heaven and we worship Him with this attitude and reality, the Scriptures say that His throne will literally be built upon, or come to rest on top of, those praises. Wherever the high praises of God are found on the earth is where the Throne of God will rest. Wherever the Throne of God is, the King is. Wherever the King is, there is a Kingdom. Wherever the Kingdom is, the angels are – and all of the resources of the government of that domain are present in reality. So when Isaiah 22:23 says, "and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father's house," that's what it literally means. We become a gateway of the glory of God through which His Kingdom manifests.

Jesus said to Nathaniel in John 1:50-51, "'Because I said to you, I saw you beneath the fig tree, do you believe in and rely on and trust in Me? You shall see greater things than this!' Then He said to him, 'I assure you, most solemnly I tell you all, you shall see Heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man!'"

When we are connected with Heaven we literally become a gateway for the supernatural to manifest around us. Heaven moves up and down upon us, releasing signs, wonders, and miracles with our cooperation. God is looking for an army to arise with this revelation. And I fully believe we are the generation. There is a fresh sound being released from Heaven with an incredible power and glory the world has never seen – and it's falling on individuals that will bring it to the nations of the earth. This fresh sound is the same sound that ushered in the era of the early Church. It is called the "Sound of a Rushing Mighty Wind." (Photo by Robert Bartow"Stairway to Heaven" via elijahshopper.com)

The Sound of a Rushing Mighty Wind

And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place, when suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them. And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words].Acts 2:1-4

When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early Church in the upper room, it came as a sound from Heaven like that of a rushing mighty wind that filled the entire room. Along with that sound appeared forked tongues of flames that burned on top of everyone's heads. It was the return of the long lost government of God that was finally being restored to the earth. The ushering in of that wind and fire has changed the world and impacted every generation to date. Holy Ghost revivals and reformations throughout Church history have marked the return of the government of God to planet earth along with the impact and the influence it has had on commoners and kings of nations. That violent release of Heaven formed and forged the early Church, and in these days we will see nothing less than the culminations of all those anointings poured out in a concentrated form. Heaven is violent, and so will all those be who embody the true nature of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Sound of Unity

There is a sound rising in this generation that is necessary in order for Heaven to fully manifest on the planet. It's called the "Sound of Unity." When I talk about unity, I'm not referring to everybody getting together on some kind of common ground and having unity meetings. That never works. What I'm referring to is a place where the Throne of God will literally come down upon a corporate people who have one focus alone: the presence of Jesus.

What does that look like? There was a sound released in 2 Chronicles 5 when they lifted up their voice "as one" with the trumpeters and shouted the goodness of God. There was a sound of unity in Acts 2 when the disciples were in the upper room in "one accord" in prayer and fasting waiting for the promise of the Holy Spirit by Jesus' direction. They didn't know what they were looking for exactly, or how to get the promise to come, but they were in one heart and mind – waiting, praying, contending, and fasting together for that promise. And when that promise came, it did so as a sound of a rushing mighty wind, not a rushing mighty wind. (Photo by Jennifer Page "In Yeshua's Presence" via elijahshopper.com)

There was a sound that came in unity in Acts 4, when the apostles were gathered together as a company of Believers of "one heart and soul."

And now, Lord, observe their threats and grant to Your bond servants [full freedom] to declare Your message fearlessly, while You stretch out Your hand to cure and to perform signs and wonders through the authority and by the power of the name of Your holy Child and Servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage. Now the company of Believers was of one heart and soul, and not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was [exclusively] his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all. And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all. Acts 4:29-33

They were one heart and soul waiting for a second empowering of the Holy Ghost which came and filled them with great boldness and courage to preach. And the sound that came from Heaven was like that of a great earthquake that shook the place where they were gathered. This generation is going to see the same union of shaking as God releases the violence of Heaven upon a unified corporate Body. We again will testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and great grace will rest richly on all of us.

The Sound of Breaker Anointing

We're in a season in which we will again witness firsthand the sound of the armies of Heaven being released in America and the nations of the earth in the Spirit of Revival. I've been privileged to minister in crusades, revivals, and meetings around the world in which the power from Heaven manifests and results in amazing demonstrations of miraculous power. I've watched as the angelic army of Heaven descends on the masses in Africa, resulting in mass deliverance of demonic strongholds. Cripples walk, blind people are healed, tumors dissolve, deaf ears open, and children walk for the first time, along with countless other demonstrations of raw, supernatural power. Heaven responds to the initiatives of the saints on the earth.

A while back while doing a crusade in Indonesia, I witnessed the breaker anointing for miracles sweep through the stadium. I barely finished preaching when people began to cry out as fire from Heaven and a breaker anointing was poured out upon them. Many began to get out of wheelchairs, throw down their crutches, and run. Tumors evaporated and screams could be heard throughout the arena. God was releasing breakthrough anointing in a drastic way that no one in the arena could deny. The place was electrified with shouting and praise.

Jesus the Master of Breakthrough

God's plan for the earth and for us did not change after the fall. Immediately He set His plan in motion to restore the Kingdom to us and sent Jesus to get it all back for us. Jesus Christ is the ultimate Master of breakthrough who has broken open the Heavens for us – so we could not only receive the Kingdom of power and authority by the Holy Spirit here on the earth, but also so we would have access to the heavenly realm with Him.

Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the Blood of Jesus, by this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh... Hebrews 10:19-20

Jesus broke open the way back into the Holy Place. Micah calls Him (Messiah) the ultimate Breaker: (Photo via Pixabay)

"The Breaker [the Messiah] will go up before them. They will break through, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, the Lord at their head" (Micah 2:13).

As King David was waiting for direction from the Lord to move against the Philistines, he was told to wait for the sound:

"When David inquired of the Lord, He said, 'You shall not go up, but go around behind them and come upon them over opposite the mulberry (or balsam) trees. And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then bestir yourselves, for then has the Lord gone out before you to smite the army of the Philistines.' And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba to Gezer" (2 Samuel 5:23-25).

King David knew that his only hope would be in the complete and utter dependence upon the armies of Heaven to accomplish the impossible. David had just recaptured the Ark of the Covenant that was taken by the Philistines and was in the process of bringing it back to the city of David. But, in order for this to happen, he had to deal one last time with the enemies of Israel. David's trust was in the God of the Breakthrough:

"David inquired of the Lord, saying, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?' And the Lord said to David, 'Go up, for I will surely deliver [them] into your hand.' And David came to Baal-perazim, and he smote them there, and said, 'The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters.' So he called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through].There the Philistines left their images, and David and his men took them away" (2 Samuel 5:19-20, emphasis mine).

David inquired of the Lord and God gave him Heaven's strategy. Even though in this text the angels are not directly mentioned, it was the assistance of the armies of Heaven that brought about the breakthrough David needed. The victory was such a massive blow to the Philistines that they didn't even have time to collect their images but just left them behind for David and his men to destroy! David called the place "Baal-perazim," which means, "God of the Breakthrough." This massive breakthrough was manifest by the release of the sound of angels marching on the tops of the mulberry trees. By the way, mulberry trees are also known as the "balm" trees, or the "healing" trees. The angels and healing go together.

I believe we are going to see in this season whole cities, regions, and even nations overrun by the power of Heaven evidenced by a release of the Sound of Heaven on earth. Angelic armies will descend with a sound of fire and wind that will unleash the Spirit of Revival over cities that will literally change culture as we know it. The multitudes will come to the brightness of our rising (see Isaiah 60, AMP) and spiritual hunger will be the catalyst for these suddenlies of God. The Lord will literally release the "roar" of His voice over a region; the earth will shake as all of Heaven breaks loose! (Photo by Linda Harris-Iorio "ROAR" via elijahshopper.com)

The Lord will thunder and roar from Zion andutter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the Lord will be a refuge for His people and a stronghold to the children of Israel. Joel 3:16 (emphasis mine)

...The Lord roars out of Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem... Amos 1:2 (emphasis mine)
