Sudden Changes by Doug Addison

Sudden Changes

May is a time when new things will spring forth and begin to come together. Watch for doors and opportunities to open suddenly. We are entering into a new time of things happening suddenly. Webster's dictionary defines the word suddenly as "happening quickly without warning." It is time to be prepared for "Sudden Change."

Wind of Change Returns

I had an angelic encounter on Tuesday morning, May 6th at 1:30 AM and a powerful angelic presence entered my house and was there most of the day. The angel that came was similar to an encounter I had this time two years ago. At that time I had an encounter with an angel called the Wind of Change (not the Winds of Change). I was in Denver on April 20, 2012 when I released the prophetic word for May 2012 and got a huge response from readers.

Now two years later the Wind of Change is back. In 2012 I had a vision in a dream that a wind came, blowing things almost violently and the result was that everything was reorganized. You will be safe if you stay close to God. May is the start of the Wind of Change. It would be more accurately called the wind of sudden change. Things are beginning to divinely realign.

Those who heard God say to "wait" and have been obediently waiting a long time are going to be released! It is breaking discouragement, depression, suicidal thoughts and self-sabotage.

Dream About Chicago - the Windy City

I had a prophetic dream last month that I was living in a high-rise building and the firemen from the TV show Chicago Fire came bursting in saying that everyone had to evacuate. Hermann and Mouch from the TV show were apologizing that they were not able to get to the top of the building in time to put out the fire.

And just like the prophetic word for this month, "suddenly," we had to move quickly because the top of the tall building was engulfed in flames. God spoke to me that the fire of the Holy Spirit is coming to those in Chicago.

Prophetic Dream of Flexibility

I had a dream last month of the need to be flexible. In the dream I was bending in all kinds of positions and God spoke to me that it is a time to be flexible. This is a time of shifting paradigms. We are moving into a new era, not just a new season, but also a new way of doing things. Being flexible will allow us to deal with the sudden changes that are just ahead.

Unity is the Key

The Apostle Paul had an amazing revelation. In Romans 12:5 Paul said that we are all part of the same "body." Paul symbolically compared the Church to being a body.

"So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." (Romans 12:5)

John Wimber said, "In our quest for doctrinal purity, we no longer treat other Christians the way God wants us to. God is calling us to unity and oneness."

Church history has evolved and since the Protestant Reformation of 1517, which brought necessary change to the Church, it also brought over 33,000 different denominations. Though lots of great changes came out of it, we also became MAJORLY divided.

Paul, in 1 Corinthians 12:20-26 talks about the fact that though we are many parts we are still made up of one body of believers and that we can't say that we don't need certain parts. Like each other or not, in reality we actually need one another.

As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 1 Corinthians 12:20-21

In order to go into the new season and era God is calling us to we must heal our divisions. We are "one" no matter what our doctrinal differences may be.

The Curse of Cain

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"

The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth." Genesis 4:8-12

When Cain killed his brother, God said, "Your brother's blood cries out to me." Cain came under a curse that caused him to work and never get ahead, to be restless and wander and never seem to find his destiny.

It's the same today, spiritually. When we speak against other Christians, when we wound them or try to kill them spiritually, we can come under this same curse.

We have theology that the Body is one, but we don't live out the reality of it. Our sin of judging each other affects us all.

Jesus said, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."John 13:35

Get ready for sudden changes. Get ready to love people who are different than you, get ready for God to move in your life and divinely realign us all to become more effective!
