Prophecy: A Holy Paradigm Shift Is Upon the Church - PROPHETIC INSIGHT FROM CHARISMA

PROPHETIC DREAM: CHARLOTTE, NC AND THE EAST COAST - Jeremiah Johnson
PROPHETIC DREAM: CHARLOTTE, NC AND THE EAST COAST
May 30, 2016
BACKGROUND
On Friday Night, May 27th, I was traveling on an 11 hour overnight flight from Tel Aviv to JFK airport. I had just co-led a 10 day prophetic tour in Israel and was completely exhausted flying back home. As I went to sleep on the plane, I had a very powerful prophetic dream from the Lord that came in audible message form. The Holy Spirit spoke to me as I was asleep and when I woke up on the plane, I had an indescribable urgency to get out my computer and immediately type out all that I had heard from Him in the dream. For me personally, I have been having these non symbolic, very literal types of prophetic dreams since I was 12 years old and have published many of them concerning President Obama and Hillary Clinton in one of my books called, “Chronicles of the Unknown Dreamer 2013“.
CHARLOTTE, NC AND THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES
This is what I heard in the prophetic dream on the plane and what I wrote down:
Charlotte,
“My eyes are upon you in this hour. Though the birth pains and complications have been great in recent years as gross darkness and immorality has tried to cover the land, so I Myself will deliver this Isaac that I have promised to you. I, the Lion of Judah am roaring in Charlotte, who can but prophesy? Can you hear My roar sons of men? Gather the elders of the land, call a sacred assembly, and fast together, for Charlotte shall be a flashpoint for awakening and revival on the East Coast of the United States. What happens in Charlotte will touch Washington D.C. There is a divine connection between Charlotte and Washington D.C. that will shake the nation. Tremors of glory will be felt in Washington D.C., but only as a foreshadowing of what I will do in Charlotte” says the Lord.
He continued on, “I call forth My Daniel Company on the East Coast! I say to My prophets and intercessors: because you have chosen not to feast upon worldly pleasures, but rather dine with Me, I will give you unprecedented favor to move the hearts of kings that sit in positions of authority on the East Coast. There is a trumpet of holiness that shall be sounded. I am releasing prophetic messengers of repentance and consecration that will challenge the Nebuchadnezzar’s to bow their knees to My righteous decrees. Yes, the knees of some governors and even congressmen and women will bow as My prophetic messengers release righteous decrees that will set the people free.
You must recognize that Governor Haley from South Carolina is my Esther of the hour! My body on the East Coast must stand with her, for the time is now! Open up your arms to her and do not be blind to the anointing and favor that I have placed upon her life for such a time as this. From Jacksonville, FL to Washington D.C., there will be a divine window in June through September where strategic planning for awakening on the East Coast must take place. During these months, many of My servants will be visited by an unusual wind of grace to heal, restore, and refresh them. Yes, even some physical storms are coming as a sign in the natural realm that My glory shall be released in the spirit realm.
Lou Engle, call the huddle and assemble the team. The prophecies of Bob Jones and Bill Bright will not fall to the ground!” says the Lord.
May the Holy Spirit use His words to encourage, strengthen, and comfort the body of Christ in this hour.
Blessings,
Jeremiah Johnson

"An Invitation to Consecration – As We Stand at the Precipice of a Great New Move" Dutch Sheets
"An Invitation to Consecration – As We Stand at the Precipice of a Great New Move"
We stand at the precipice of a great new move of God. Many of us in the Body of Christ sense that the Lord is preparing to do a great work of restoration in America, leading up to the next Great Awakening.
If you have been following my ministry, you know that the resurgence of the historic Appeal To Heaven flag is a key part of this awakening. For the purpose of gathering Believers under its message, launching us into a prayer movement that will pave the way for this next great move of God, I am scheduling Appeal To Heaven Conferences in key cities nationwide.
The first of which will be held in Middletown, Ohio, in just a few weeks (see itinerary below). As we approach this significant gathering, I have been pondering what the Lord has spoken to me about how we are to prepare for the release of His river of revival.
In the third chapter of the Book of Joel, the Lord tells Israel of a coming great season of restoration. This Scripture also serves as a dual prophecy of what God will do later at the outpouring of His Spirit at Pentecost, and again, at the end of the age.
Preceding this prophecy, in Joel 2:15-17, and each time God desired to release a mighty move of His Spirit among His people, Israel, He spoke to their leadership, giving them this one same instruction: "Consecrate yourselves."
In Hezekiah's day, prior to Israel's restoration of temple worship, "consecrate" or "sanctify yourselves" is once again given as a directive from the Lord (2 Chronicles 29:5). When King Josiah led the nation in several reforms, allowing God to reestablish His presence there, these words were also spoken (2 Chronicles 35:6).
And in Joshua's day, before crossing the Jordan River and moving into their inheritance, God said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you" (Joshua 3:5). I believe God is saying this to American Believers today.
Draw Near to God
We hear of the concept of "consecration" periodically, but we often have a vague understanding of what it really means. The word consecrate, in Hebrew, is actually a relational term. Qadash means to separate or set yourself apartunto God. God's heart isn't, "Clean up your act so I can restore and bless you." He says instead, "Come to Me so I can bless you." BIG DIFFERENCE! His love is free, not earned.
It may even surprise you that qadash (set apart to Him), is actually the root word for holy (qodesh). Not to confuse you with a bunch of strange words, but isn't it great to know that being "holy" isn't the result of ordefined as "being good enough?"

Rather it is the nature (qodesh) we receive from our union with Him (qadash), whichmotivates us to good works and a refusal to sin. We must be careful, then, that when we set out to prepare ourselves for a move of God's Spirit, we do not move into a legalistic works mentality, trying to accomplish separation and holiness in our own abilities; rather, we draw near to God in relationship.
There is another word in Scripture that also means separation, which we often confuse with consecration and holiness. Nazir, from which we get the word Nazarite, means to be separate from. Nazir implies that we are separating ourselves away from something, as in sin, or the Nazarite vow of separation from certain activities. Qadash implies that we are separating ourselves unto, or drawing near to God. And this is where we must always start in our walk with Him.
Samson was a Nazarite and lived a life separated from certain things. There is never any indication in Scripture, however, that he was separated unto, or walking closely with God. When Delilah entered the picture, since Samson was attempting holiness in his own strength, not by drawing near to the Lord, He did not have the strength to resist temptation.
The Lord desires to raise up men and women of prayer and radical devotion through which He can release a greater Great Awakening and shift the course of nations today.
To be a part of this, however, we must be willing to comply with what God requires of us: Prepare ourselves through drawing near.
A Season of Separation
The Lord is inviting you to enter into a season where you separate yourself unto Him in an extra special way. Take time to inquire of the Lord as to what this means for you. I am certain things will shift if you increase your devotion time from 15 to 30 minutes each day. Doors will open if you fast one lunch per week to spend that time with the Lord. You will experience breakthrough if you put on some worship music and commune with the Lord as you go about your daily chores. For 15 minutes a day, invite Him to walk with you around your backyard or sit beside you on your porch.
If you rearrange your busy schedule over the next few weeks to pray and fast and spend more time in worship and the Word, your life will radically change. No matter what level of relationship you currently enjoy with the Lord, He wants to transform you into a more passionate and zealous Believer.
As you draw into His depths, His cleansing stream will prepare you for His rivers of revival. (Photo by Jennifer Page "Selah" via elijahshopper.com)
If you will be participating in the upcomingAppeal To Heaven Conference, do this before you come. I urge you, please, do not take this gathering lightly. I hear the Lord calling us to a Joel 2 time of consecration so that He can accomplish His purposes for our upcoming convocation.
