Please Take Your Seat by Elaine Tavolacci, Identity Network
The Holy Spirit showed me a massive stadium filled with people. When the speaker came out, the crowd rose to their feet with a thunderous applause. I could not see who the speaker was, neither could I see what gender they were, but then I heard them announce, "Please take your seat." I then recognized that this was Jesus Himself making an announcement to the body of Christ.
The Lord says, it is time to take the seat that I have assigned to you. This is the season in which I am raising up the nameless, faceless generation to do great exploits. Many of you who have been hidden, will be used mightily in this end time harvest. Those of you who have been looked upon as the underdog will step forward and take your rightful place in My Kingdom. I am calling those of you who have been considered outcasts. I am calling those who have been mocked, scorned, shunned and abused. Now is the time for those of you who have been forsaken and rejected to take your seat in that which I have ordained for you. It is time for you to set others free.
Discerning of Spirits
I have prepared you and taught you spiritual realities. I have equipped you and empowered you for this season. Now is the time to take back what the enemy has stolen and possess the land. Don't cower back in fear. I have called My people to take dominion over the earth. I have called you to take authority over this land and not fall prey to the enemy's strategies. This is My kingdom, this is My destiny for you, and this is your rightful place as a believer. Do not think that you need a podium, a pulpit or a platform to reach the multitudes. You will become My voice, not by might, not by power and not in your own strength. As you wait on Me in the secret place, I will seat you in your rightful place.
I am releasing the gift of "discerning of spirits." You will perceive that which is spiritual from that which is carnal. You will learn to sense the spiritual climate around you. You will discern the hearts of others and recognize godly as well as impure intentions.
You will have authority in the place that I have assigned you to because you have my mark of approval. Demons tremble at the sound of the voice of those whose walk is blameless and know their authority. Step up into this seat, which I have entrusted to you. Then you will begin to speak not just with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power says the Lord.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
1 Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
