I'll never forget the first time I experienced the prophetic anointing. I was a freshman in college. We were having a prayer meeting in one of the dorm rooms. As we were holding hands in a circle praying, it felt like someone through a blanket over my head. The feeling was so real I opened my eyes. There was no blanket, but I still felt the sensation. I was experiencing a prophetic mantle for the first time. As I looked around the room I knew things about each person. As I shared what God was showing me each one was deeply ministered to as God spoke to the secrets of their hearts.

I came to realize that one of the main reasons God releases a prophetic gift in us is to call people forth into their true identity and destiny. The enemy has worked so hard to lie to people about who they really are. He tries to bind them up with insecurities, fears, false belief systems, guilt and condemnation. He tries to lock them in their past.

When you step into a prophetic flow, you receive the eyes and heart of God. You obtain the ability to see past the surface and into God's view of someone. You see their full potential and the amazing plan God has for them. This sets them free from the lies and false belief systems they have been living with.

Prophecy is Being Able to See the GOLD in People.

It's easy to see the faults and weaknesses in each other. It takes the eyes of God to see the GOLD in people. To see them how God sees them. When you see the GOLD in someone, you can prophesy it and call it forth. The power of prophesying the gold in people calls them into their true identity and purpose. It brings breakthrough and freedom into their hearts and minds.

Prophesy is to Edify, Exhort and Comfort. (1 Cor 14:3)

Edify means to build up and construct. When you prophesy the gold in people you build them up in the truth of who they are and help construct the future God has for them.

Exhort means to strongly encourage and urge someone to do something. When you prophesy the gold in people you strongly encourage them in their identity and urge them into their destiny and into the good works God has called them to do.

Comfort means freedom from pain and constraint. To ease someone's grief or distress. When you prophecy the gold in people you help set them free from pain in their soul and from the constraints that have held them back. You prophecy them into breakthrough and freedom and into the fullness God has for their lives.

God wants to anoint you to prophesy and mine for the gold in people. He wants to empower you to dig deep and pull out the best in those around you. You can be used by God to shift people into their destinies and true identity.

God wants to use you in this way. I encourage you to get more equipped so you can be a vessel that calls forth the gold in people.

Prophecy: 'We Are Moving Into a Time of Accelerated Breakthrough' - MATT SORGER CHARISMA NEWS

This will also be a time of deep consecration and refinement in the fire of God. (Pixabay.com)

Prophecy: 'We Are Moving Into a Time of Accelerated Breakthrough'

11:00AM EDT 7/20/2019 MATT SORGER CHARISMA NEWS

We are moving into a time of accelerated breakthrough! I decree over you, today, that there is going to be breakthrough upon breakthrough upon breakthrough, in Jesus' name. It will be a time of acceleration. Things are going to move faster and faster.

Get ready for God to move suddenly! This is going to be a season of many suddenlies. Suddenly, healing will be upon you. Suddenly, your breakthrough will happen. Suddenly, that financial provision and miracle will come through. Suddenly, a new door will open for you. Suddenly, a divine connection will take place (Mal. 3:1; Acts 2:2, 16:26).

A Repositioning and a Resetting

God is repositioning people for the next season. Don't be surprised by the transitions and changes that happen or have happened recently in your life. God is positioning people in the right place at the right time for His divine plan to unfold in your life.

God is hitting the reset button in your life. He is resetting your spirit, soul and body. He is resetting your relationship with Him. He is resetting your emotions, and He is resetting your physical body and health.

The Holy Spirit's Incubator and an Invitation to the Secret Place

Many are in an incubator of the Holy Spirit. God is wanting to birth some new things through you. An incubator is a place where something new can grow and develop properly. God is going to birth new vision, new anointing and new faith inside of you.

There is an invitation going out from God for us to enter the secret place. God is inviting us into His presence in a fresh way. There is a preparation taking place for the new season. Time in His presence will be crucial for the preparation to happen in us. God doesn't want to just bring us into the new. He wants us to be able to sustain and steward what He gives us. As you wait in His presence, He is going to prepare you for what's ahead in your life (Matt. 6:6).

A New Baptism of Fire is Coming

This will also be a time of deep consecration and refinement in the fire of God. God is calling His children to holiness and to be set apart. I see a new baptism of fire coming. It is going to burn away everything that has tried to hinder you. There will be a fire on the altar of prayer. God is going to make you like a walking flame of fire. You are going to exude the fragrance of His presence everywhere you go (Isa. 4:4-5).

God is cutting away every sin and every unnecessary weight from His people that has tried to hold them back and hinder them from running the appointed course set before them. You are not just going to walk in this yea; you are going to run in it, free and unhindered. Unnecessary weights, include anything you are carrying that God has not called you to carry—every burden, worry, fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, offense, pain or sickness—it's all coming off you in Jesus' name (Heb. 12:1-2).

A New Move of Evangelism for a New Level of Harvest

I see a new move of intercession coming for the end-time harvest. God is going to give His people such a love for the lost. We are going to be homesick for them, just as God is. A new move of evangelism will be released. Evangelists will emerge and be activated to a new level of harvest. The prayer movements and evangelism movements will merge (see Luke 15:20 about prodigals coming home).

Walking in New Levels of Divine Love, Forgiveness, Authority and Overflow

It will be so important that you know how to steward your soul in this season so that you escape the snare of offense. You are going to know how to steward your pain properly so that you are not infected by bitterness, resentment or anger. You are going to walk in a new level of divine love and forgiveness. Your heart will be clear from all offense. As a result, you will receive inherited blessings (1 Pet. 3:9).

God is transforming your threshing floor into a place of harvest. Your place of greatest pain will become your place of greatest power and authority (Joel 2:24). It's going to be a season of great overflow. God is going to overflow you with His presence, love and goodness (Joel 2:24).

People are really going to embrace their place in the body of Christ. God is breaking false comparison off people and showing them the true depth of their value, anointing and gifting. It's time to radically invest into others what God has invested into us (1 Pet. 4:10).

Restoration of All That Was Lost or Stolen

God is going to bring great restoration in people's lives. He is going to restore everything that was lost. What the enemy has stolen, he is going to have to return sevenfold (Prov. 6:31, Joel 2:25).

The One Thing: Love

God is going to refine our motives down to one thing: love. How do we love God, and how do we love people? Eternity all comes down to these two things. We are going to live with a new eternal perspective. We will see how deeply our worship and love for God ministers joy to His heart. And we will see how important it is to God how we love people, including how we forgive them (Mark. 12:30-31).

Family, family, family. Love God and love your family. God is really putting an emphasis on healthy family relationships. He desires families to be saturated with His love (Eph. 5:24-25, 6:1-4).

God is transforming barren fields into flourishing ones. He is going to bring streams in the desert and pools in the wilderness. He is also opening up wells of His glory. Our dwelling place will be between the altar and the well. The altar is the place of sacrifice, commitment and surrender. The well is the place of His living waters. It's the place of God's presence, worship and intimacy. We are going to dwell right between these two things (Gen. 26:1-25).

"How to Shift Into Your New Season" Matt Sorger - THE ELIJAH LIST

"How to Shift Into Your New Season"

Matt Sorger, Selden, NY

God is Anointing You to Create with Him

Over the past two years there has been a major shift happening within the Body of Christ. It's not just been the turning of a page or a new chapter in your book. It's like a whole new book is being written. In this new season literally anything is possible. God is going to anoint you to create with Him. And there will be no self-striving. You are going to live out of the ease and rest of God.

From this place of simple obedience to the promptings of the Spirit you are going to receive divine creative ideas and strategies and see a double portion harvest come in.

This is just like when Jesus told Peter to throw his nets into the water in Luke 5. Peter had already been fishing all night long, but caught nothing. He was exhausted. But in obedience to the word of Jesus he threw his nets in again, catching not just one boat load, but two boat loads of fish. One word from Jesus changed everything!

From the ease of obedience Peter received a double portion harvest of fish.

Things Are Changing in Your Life

Traveling internationally I get a global perspective of what is happening within the Church. We have entered into a new season. The transition has been happening over the past one to two years. Whenever a shift happens corporately, it also happens individually. You may have noticed things changing in your life.

God has been realigning you for your new season. When shifting of seasons happen, things change in our lives affecting our activities, focus, vision and even relationships. (Photo via flickr)

The most challenging part of shifting seasons is letting go of things from our past season. This is where most people get stuck. Human nature gravitates towards the familiar and it's difficult to leave our comfort zones.

But when God is shifting us into a new place there will be things from our past season that won't be able to go with us into our new season.

Reaching the Point of Fulfillment

Each season reaches a point of fulfillment where the purposes of God for that time have been completed. Once a season reaches fulfillment you hit the ceiling of that season. If a shift is not made you plateau and eventually stagnate. It's important to understand that just because something was amazing in your last season doesn't mean it's meant for your new season.

It's easy to let go of the negative things. The hard part is letting go of the things we thought were great. But just because it was God's will and a great thing in your past season, doesn't mean it will be great in your new season.

Each season has its purpose and once that purpose is completed you need to shift into the new.

You know the season is changing when the grace of God begins to lift off of you for something. The same joy and fulfillment is no longer there. Something is changing. When this shift first starts to happen we often wonder what is wrong and we have to process what is happening. This is different from a temporary discouragement the enemy would try to bring. Don't confuse a temporary attack of the enemy with the shift of a season.

As time goes by you will know more deeply within yourself that things are changing and you need to make a shift.

Let Go of the Old to Make Room for the New

I want to help you make the shift so you don't stagnate in the old, but can move fully into the new and every amazing thing God has for you. The possibilities are limitless. What the Lord showed me was that the ceiling of our past season has now become the floor of our new season. But this can only happen if we fully yield and surrender our self-will to God. This is the key to shifting seasons. (Photo via flickr)

In prayer you must surrender your will to God and let go of anything that no longer has the fresh breath of God on it.

You must be willing to let go of the old to make room for the new. Once you surrender it sets the will of God into motion bringing you into your new season. New things will become established in your life and you will begin to birth and create new things with God.

Warm Regards,

2014: The Year of God's Goodness - MATT SORGER (Charisma Magazine)

2014: The Year of God's Goodness

2014 will be a year where the body of Christ walks into the manifest goodness of God. The Lord spoke to me that He was closing old doors and opening new ones.

The doors of your past, He is closing and sealing with the blood, never to be opened again. And He is opening a new door in front of you, a door that will lead you into the goodness of God. This year will be a year where you not only believe by faith to see the negative turn for your good, but you will walk into the manifestation of it. This will be a year where the goodness of God is manifested in your life.

Let Go of Offenses

It is vital to let go of all offense and unforgiveness and have a clear heart and spirit. The enemy seeks to stir up offenses to clog you up and hinder you from receiving the blessings God has for you. Choose to release and wipe the slate clean. You will be free to enter the new doors God opens.

An Invitation That Requires a Response

God is extending an invitation that requires a response. He is inviting us to the banqueting table in 2014. In Luke 14:16-23, a man is giving a great supper and inviting many to come. But those invited begin making excuses why they can’t make it. They are distracted by things such as land, possessions, and family. These are all good things!

But in this story they keep people from responding to the master’s invitation. So the master has his servant go into the streets to compel the blind and lame into the supper because he wants his house to be full. The issue with those who had temporal possessions was they lacked a felt need and their attention was taken by other things.

The poor and lame have a very strong felt need and they are the ones who respond to the invitation. It’s an invitation to sit at the supper table and feast. At a table you relax, fellowship and eat. It’s a place of communion with others. God is inviting us into a deeper place of fellowship with Himself. He’s inviting you to recline at His table. God’s inviting us to the table of goodness. But it requires a response.

A Table in the Presence of Your Enemies

Psalms 23:5-6 declares, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over. Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place” (AMP).

God is going to set a banqueting feast of His goodness before you this year. And it will be right in the presence of your enemies. God doesn’t always remove your enemies. Sometimes He leaves them there so they have to watch you get blessed! There will be nothing the enemy can do to stop it. The only things following you will be God’s goodness, mercy and love!

A fresh anointing is being released. God’s presence will be your insulating dwelling place. As God’s goodness, mercy and love overtake you, you will also be overtaken by His presence. You will not have just enough. But you will know God as the God of More than Enough! You will overflow with His anointing and you will be able to help those around you.

A New Infilling of God's Glory

As God manifests His goodness in your life you will also receive a deeper revelation of His glory. When Moses cried to see God’s glory in Exodus 33:19, God responded by saying He will make all His goodness pass before him. He also said He would proclaim His name and in doing so reveal His true character and nature to Moses. God reveals His glory, His very essence, which includes His mercy, grace, loving-kindness, truth, forgiveness and holiness. (Ex. 34:6-7) God’s glory is His goodness. His goodness is His nature.

Worship in Spirit and Truth

True worship attracts the glory of God. In 2014 God is aligning our perspective to accurately perceive the true nature of God. Circumstances will not dictate to you who God is. You will know God through His word. You will align your perspective and thoughts up with the reality that God is good. As you exalt His goodness and true character, you will also attract the tangible glory of God to your life.

In 2 Chron. 5, the priests lift up their voice in unity with the instruments and declare three specific things about God. God is good. His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever. Right after they make this declaration of worship, the house of God is filled with the tangible cloud of God’s glory. Exalting God’s true nature accurately will attract His glory and you will be a habitation!

Five Manifestations of God's Goodness for 2014

Psalms 107:1-2 declares, “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!”

God’s goodness will bring the following 5 things.

Psalm 107:9: He will satisfy the longing soul and fill your hunger with GOOD. God will satisfy and fill the hungry with His goodness.

Psalm 107:16: He will break the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron apart. Deliverance is coming in 2014. This will be a year of God setting the captives free!

Psalm 107:20: He sends forth His word and heals and delivers from the pit and destruction. God’s goodness brings healing and deliverance. Align your thoughts and belief systems with God’s goodness and see His healing and freedom breakthrough.

Psalm 107:29: He hushes and stills the storms. God’s goodness causes the storms of distraction, conflict and turmoil to be calmed in your life. You will enter into a season of God’s peace and rest.

Psalm 107:35: He causes the wilderness and dry ground to become pools of water. God is sending His presence in a fresh way that will cause the dry grounds to be saturated with His living water. Every dry area of your life will be refreshed.

In 2014 God is making all things new. He is causing our faith, our vision, our experience of His presence and anointing, our prayer lives, everything. He’s causing it all to become like new!

Did 2013’s Prophetic Words Ring True? - Jennifer LeClaire (CharismaNews)

Want to receive Watchman on the Wall by email? Sign up here

In the days and weeks ahead, prophetic voices around the world will release prophecies for 2014. You’ll read a handful of them on the "Prophetic Insight" section of charismamagazine.com.

But before we charge ahead to weigh prophetic mandates, directives and warnings for 2014, let’s take a minute to look back at the prophetic words declared over 2013. After all, you can’t always limit God’s words to a 12-month timeline. Indeed, it’s possible that some 2013 prophecies won’t be relevant for years and others will remain relevant for years to come. So, again, before we move on to the next new word, let’s review what the Lord said last year and respond according to His Spirit.

The Spiritual Avalanche That Could Kill Millions

About this time last year, evangelist Steve Hill had a vision. He saw a massive, majestic mountain covered in glistening snow. It turned out to be an avalanche of heretical teachings, including universal reconciliation, the deification of man, a challenge against the validity of the Word of God including His judgments, and even the lifting of any boundaries, claiming His amazing grace is actually amazing freedom. We’ve certainly seen a rise in heretical teachings in 2013. But I believe the avalanche has yet to completely fall. Have you girded the loins of your mind for the onslaught in the years ahead?

Be Free of Satan’s False Accusations in 2013

Sandie Freed, founder and director of the School of the Prophets and Apostolic Training Center in Bedford, Texas, declared freedom from Satan’s false accusations in 2013. She charged us to “step into 2013 with an understanding of who God is and with the revelation that He is not a God that lies.” This was less of a prophetic word and more of an apostolic decree. Did you heed the call?

'My Hand Is Moving Across Your Nation in a Miraculous Way'

Eileen Fisher, author of Embracing the Prophetic, released a prophetic word declaring, “My hand is moving across your nation in a miraculous way.” The conclusion of the prophecy proclaimed, “You will hear a miraculous report of the Lord. You will dance in the streets and you will sing and you will declare, 'All is well!' I will say until you, sing it in faith, sing it when you are alone, declare it, decree it, and so it shall be: All shall be well because the well of salvation is going to be poured out fresh over your nation. I am causing places that have been dry to open up to My reign. I will come down and you will hear, 'Let us go to the sanctuary of the Lord our God and be dipped in the well of our own salvation,' says the Lord your God.” Did you experience this in your life, family or church?

Return to Antioch

The Lord told Jennifer LeClaire (that’s me) to issue a prophetic directive. It came to my spirit in three words: “Return to Antioch.” In my article, I wrote, “We need to ‘return to Antioch.’ We need to return to sound doctrine that strengthens the spirits and souls of the disciples, encourages them to contend for the true faith, and refuses to sugar coat the Christian walk. We need to ‘return to Antioch’ and leave behind the Hollywood Christianity, the pillow prophets, the prosper-me gospel and the other foolish practices that have crept into the 21st century church while we were sleeping. We need to ‘return to Antioch’ and walk with Christ no matter what it costs us. We need to be found faithful when the Lord returns.” I believe this is still true for 2014.

Cry Out for a Youth Awakening

Former Charisma editor J. Lee Grady believed God had redemption in mind for 2013. Lee says God told him, "Pray for a great awakening in the younger generation.” He offered three Spirit-led prayer points and concluded, “God wants to give America another chance. The prophet Jeremiah pronounced many words of judgment on wayward Israel, yet he prayed this: 'Restore us to You, O Lord, that we may be restored; renew our days as of old' (Lam. 5:21). God loves to answer that prayer! His desire is to restore—and He can orchestrate a great turnaround in our nation if we will humble ourselves and cry to Him with all our hearts.” Amen. I believe this prophetic word is still relevant today.

13 Prophecies for 2013

The most-shared 2013 prophecy article on Charisma magazine last year was revivalist Matt Sorger’s "13 Prophecies for 2013." He shared a number of visions, from stagnant waters being stirred in a fresh way to a prophetic ear to comprehend to a new God-given language to communicate His truths clearly to blueprints for a new wineskin. Sorger encouraged us to pursue these things aggressively as invitations to lay hold of.

Stay tuned in the coming days and weeks as we’ll share more prophetic words. In the meantime, review these decrees, announcements, insights and directives. Grab what rings with your spirit even as you prepare your heart to receive what God has for you in the new year.

"Israel Is Forever" Concert at Sea of Galilee

Shalva Band Inspires the Crowd At God TV’s “Israel Is Forever” Concert

Posted by: Doni Kandel August 27, 2013 , 3:10 pm

And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. (Genesis 1:27)

Two teen members of the Shalva band joined musician Kim Clement on stage during an “Israel Is Forever” concert in Tiberius. Shalva provides services free of charge currently to more than 500 children with special needs from infants to young adults seven days a week. (Photo: Shalva)

As nearly 1,000 Christian Zionists gathered at the base of the Sea of Galilee for the kickoff of an eight-day tour of the holy land, the children of the Jerusalem-based organization, Shalva, which provides services free of charge currently to more than 500 children with special needs from infants to young adults seven days a week, stole the show.

Kim Clement, a musician based in California, who orchestrated the concert was joined onstage by members of a musical band from Shalva. The two teenage singers and musician from the Shalva bandsang a version of Leonard Cohen’s “Breathe your life into me; put your song inside me; cover me with your love,” Dina, who is blind, sung in Hebrew. “Everything within me longs to feel your heartbeat. I’m forever yours.”

Clement has visited Shalva several times in the last year and has championed its cause, becoming a significant supporter of the Israeli nonprofit. The Shalva center “houses special needs children – the most amazing thing that I’ve ever seen,” Clement said. “It changed my heart. We adopted four special needs children. It’s the heart of God.”

The concert, at which the people gathered to declare “Israel Is Forever”, was put on as a kickoff event for an eight-day tour of the Holy Land put together by the Christian satellite channel, God TV. “I welcome you to the homeland of your faith,” Tourism Minister Uzi Landau told the crowd.

Founded by Rory and Wendy Alec who are also leading the tour, God TV is broadcast from Jerusalem and is available worldwide on a multi-satellite platform in 200 nations and 240 million homes. Other notable ministers on the tour include Lou Engle, Faytene Grasseschi, Patricia King, Angus Buchan, Matt Sorger and the band Planet Shakers from Australia.
