Cindy Jacobs: What God Is Saying for 2018

CINDY JACOBS  CHARISMA NEWS
I hope you all had a wonderful, happy New Year's Day. This is the season where we like to share with you what God has been saying for 2018, and I'm very excited about this year.
What I have with me is a compilation of some words that came from the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders and the Global Prophetic Consultation in Nov. 2017, which people say was one of the most historic events they have ever been to in their lives. It's so good, and we know that God has given us a great harvest. We had prophets from around the world sharing together prophetically what they're hearing for the upcoming season. There's a theme that developed for 2018, and this common theme is that it's going to be a good year.
You know, 2017 was a very difficult time of uncertainty for so many of us. There were terrorist acts, riots, political unrest and division. As we look on the world news, we have the threat of North Korea looming over the world. We had natural disasters here in the U.S., with fires and flooding across the nation. But, in the midst of it, I found myself starting to feel really good, and people looked at me like, "Are you crazy? Why are you feeling good right now?" Because I'm seeing what God is bringing.
God is doing a new thing. As you may know, as we prophesy, we often look for a biblical connection. Why do we do this? Because the Bible is a book of Hebrew thought. It's not a book of Western thinking at all. So, if we're going to understand the Bible, we need to understand the numerology. There are very important things that are hidden keys in Scripture. People can say, "Oh, it's an occult thing". No, it's a Hebrew thing, and if we want to understand what is written in the context of what is written, we need to look at the keys that have been given to us.

Possessing the Gates

On the Hebrew calendar, 2018 is the year 5778 and, if we see the pictorial emphasis from this, 5778 forms a gate. In fact, this gate can look kind of like a bridal canopy. So, as I was asking the Lord what is going to happen in 2018, I felt the Holy Spirit saying, "It's the year to possess the gates of your future."
This is very important. I'm going to use the text Genesis 22:17-18, "Blessing I will bless you. Multiplying I will multiply." Whenever the Scripture reiterates something, such as "blessing I will bless you", this is a form of emphasis meaning it's superlative. It's going to be greater than you can imagine. "Multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars in the heaven and as the sand washes on the seashore and your descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies, and your seed, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice." I feel those descendants are not just our natural children, but also our spiritual children—people we have mentored or movements that we have started.
Some of you know that I wrote a book that came out in 1991 called Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, and I've just finished the fourth edition for it, which is coming out later this year. It's a new update with a fresh, new look at prayer and spiritual warfare. As I was writing it, I didn't even think about the significance of gates. But, this year will be a time where we are going to possess these gates—opportunities that are before us that we haven't been able to reach before. In other words, we've not been able to go through the gates of opportunity.
It's very interesting that this promise was given to Abraham around 2018 B.C., which was 2018 years before Christ and [it's now] 2018 years after, so it's like a double full-circle time. We are children of Abraham, since we have been grafted into the vine, so promises given to Abraham are promises for us. Now, let's talk about some ways to possess those gates.
Number one, you have to be prepared. Sometimes people just take life day by day, like, "Well, whatever comes, I'm going to deal with it, but this is a year to possess your future. So, you need to look and say, 'What does God want me to accomplish this year? What is it that I am supposed to possess? What are those things that have been dreams that you have longed to fulfill?'"
It's a time to dream again. It's a time to sit down and say, "Maybe we had a business failure, or maybe we had something happen to our family, or maybe that dream didn't come true," but don't give up on your dream. Possess it. This is a special year with special promises. We need to get ready for it, but how do we do that? One way is to surrender to God. Just surrender everything to God.

What Gates Has Satan Closed?

Where has Satan closed your gates? Don't just let life pass you by. Think about where Satan has come in to those gates. Maybe it's been friendship gates or family gates. Maybe there are some things that happened in your family, and they were really painful. Don't let Satan just win. Say, "No! Satan, you can't win. You can't have my family." It's time to stand and declare and decree.
As we sought direction together for the year, we kept hearing that "Glory" is going to be a significant word in 2018. There are going to be so many incredible miracles that God is going to show us. Habakkuk 2:14 says that the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. God is going to show himself as the great God, the glorious God.
We are to live from the glory down, not from the problems of our life up. In other words, if we're seated with Him in heavenly places, and He's a glorious God, He has all the solutions. He has all the answers. He has everything you need. So, when you're looking at a situation, don't look at what the current situation says. Don't look at the problems of it. Seek God from the heavenly, being seated with him in heavenly places. Ask him to give solutions and bring those solutions down into the problem. God is full of wisdom. He's a kingdom administrator. He knows how to do everything.
I can't tell you how many times I could not figure out what to do until I finally just calmed myself inside and said, "God, you know what to do", and all of the sudden, I had the solution. It was like I suddenly realized that I was seated with him, talking to the Lord and He gave me the solution. I knew what to do, and I brought that into the current situation. You can do this when you need wisdom with your children, wisdom with teenagers—praise God, that's a very interesting time of life, isn't it?—or whatever it is. If you're married, you might need wisdom regarding your spouse.
There are gates that Satan wants to shut—gates of relationship, gates that will slam in your face—and Satan will say to you, "You're never going to have a good relationship with your family. You're not going to have good times. The things that have happened have caused irreparable damage." No, that is not true, because it's not God's will, and God created your family. He meant it to be good. Don't give up your battle. Now, maybe it won't come about in 2018, but don't give up the battle. God will turn it.

A Season of Suddenlies and Acceleration

God is moving us into a season where He just does something suddenly for us. Like, one day everything's terrible, and the next day you're just shocked that everybody loves each other. It's as if nothing bad ever happened, and you're just kind of looking around, and you're going, "Wow. Yesterday we were all at each other's throats, and today it's like it never happened." You know, God can do that.
Salvation came to the earth suddenly when Jesus was born, and you know that Moses came as a liberator seemingly suddenly after all those years of captivity. God spoke after hundreds of years of being silent. The suddenlies will come in your life, and that should give you hope in the midst of all your problems that suddenlies are coming.
Another word that was corporately given across the board was acceleration. This is a time when your wealth will accelerate. Blessings will accelerate. Prosperity will accelerate. You need to believe for it. The Bible says the word did not profit them not being mixed with faith.
You need to believe God that He's going to give you that prosperity, that He's going to give you blessing, and you know you say, "Well, what if I believe and nothing happens?" If you don't believe, I can assure you nothing will happen. Whenever God says 'I will', that's a powerful promise, and multiplying 'I will multiply you'. So, let's believe for acceleration, suddenlies, and for God to multiply you suddenly.
God is going to give business opportunities to many people. Maybe you are in poverty right now, or maybe you're not able to make your bills, but God will download something to you that you're good at. You're not going to have to work harder, but you'll work smarter, and it's going to bring you the funds you need. You're going to be able to do what your main thing is, and these other things will not take you over, but yet it's going to give you the income you need.
Suddenly, that gate of favor is going to open up for you, and that gate of honor. Where there's been dishonor, there will be honor. Somebody was telling me how Billy Graham used to be dishonored in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and now there is a highway or a freeway named after him there. That can happen. You can outlast your enemies. You can live longer, do better. Keep your heart right, and one day honor will come into the place of dishonor.
These are all very significant things. God is saying something to us.

A Moral Reformation

God is exposing immorality. There is going to be a moral reformation, and this is going to happen in Hollywood. Many, many people in Hollywood are going to understand that biblical values are important. I see many, many in Hollywood being interested in what we call good moral programming, and I'm just thankful for the people in Hollywood. You know, we always diss them, but they work so hard, and I just want to put in a good word for them right now.
After the Reformation, there was a counter-reformation, where a lot of the work that had been done was undone. It was a very dark time. Well, the Lord spoke to us that if we are attentive, there will not be another counter-reformation. If we don't evangelize the Millennials with a biblical worldview, if we don't speak to their hearts, in a decade, we're going to see all that we have gained in this time of going into the seven spheres, or mountains of authority, start to be undone again. We want to reach the Millennials. We want to listen to the Millennials, and God is going to anoint people to do this and pray. It's time to pray for the Millennials, and I prayed about that, too.
There's a revival coming—a revival of a magnitude worldwide that we cannot imagine. There's a reformation coming, and I want to say something about that. We are in the midst of the Great Awakening now. The Great Awakening worldwide has begun. It's not going to begin. It has begun, and it's going to begin in different stages. We have seen great revivals come before, the Welsh Revival, different Revivals, but they didn't last. However, we know with this reformation, there's going to be a marriage between evangelism and reformation, and we're going to see nations changed. We're in the process.

The Isaiah 19 Highway

Another word that God gave us is about the Isaiah 19 highway. You may not be familiar with that, but it's talked about in Isaiah, the 19th chapter, that there's a highway of holiness that will be built from Egypt to Assyria to Israel. What is going on right now in Iran and the unrest there, what happened recently, there was such a reformation of Saudi Arabia. God is preparing a highway.
God is preparing a way for nation after nation after nation to be touched through religious freedom with his power, and there's going to be a connection that will happen even with Israel. Sometimes people say, "Well that could never happen." It's going to happen, because the Bible says that it will happen.

The Great Transfer of Wealth

Another thing that God spoke to us about is a transfer of wealth. This will happen in more of a season than a one-year time frame, but we see the beginnings where believers are going to open their eyes, and they're going to see opportunities for wealth. They're going to know how to go through the gates, how to go through the doors of opportunity.
There will be great financial blessings start to come to the U.S. Things are already beginning to turn around. God also showed me that for all the Middle East there are going to be blessings come for the believers there too, because what God is doing is all part of this Isaiah 19 highway.
I remember when we met with the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, God spoke to us a number of years ago that the EU would fragment, and it has happened. We know there was Brexit. The Lord also showed us that the dollar would remain in a stable place for investing when things were shaky. This was around five years ago, and many people are saying it was going to crash, and it's going to go down. Well, the stock market is going up and up and up.
There will be some course corrections, but I do not at this time see a major crash, where it's going to completely plummet, as long as we continue on the current path. But, if there's compromise, it will go down, and you will see this directly correlating with what's happening with our connection with Israel.
I also want to mention the Middle East. The Middle East is very important, as is China. Asia's a very huge part, and the Chinese people in particular, but all of the Asians with this Isaiah 19 highway. Look to numbers of people going to Egypt. Numbers and numbers of Christians will start going to Egypt to pray, because this move of God, it's happening now. It's not something just beginning. It's been happening, but we're going to see it's going to be on a greater and greater scale.
Africa is going to experience an explosion of God's power, but the nations are going to be transformed, as well. At the meeting of prophets we had recently, we had prophets from all over the world pray together, and we were decreeing that the evil dictator Mugabe of Zimbabwe was going to come down immediately. At the exact moment that we were taking authority over the spirit that had held Zimbabwe bound by this dictator, the tanks were rolling into Harare. We have to keep praying that it doesn't go back into the same way. We have great authority through the name of Jesus, and God has been speaking to us that we are going to go through gates of authority. It's time for the Daniels in Babylon to arise.
Daniel captured Babylon, instead of Babylon capturing Daniel. God allowed Daniel to be captured, but then he became head of all the soothsayers. The Lord showed us that, as prophets, we are going to go into many, many doors and places in secular society, governmental places, where there'll be those that are psychics there, but God is going to give us words that outshine them all through signs, and wonders and miracles. We see this in the case of Moses and the Pharaoh with the serpents and the rod that Moses threw down.
We prophesied a lot about North Korea, that they are going to have a suddenly, where God is going to deal with Kim Jong-un. In fact, the word was, "I'm dealing with the evil dictators of the world, and these evil dictators are going to shake." Maduro's going to shake. He's going to come down, and some of the others. We're seeing Iran shaking right now. We saw what happened with Zimbabwe. We're going to see it with Kim Jong-un. There's going to be some turmoil, but Kim Jong-un is going to come down. God is hardening his heart like Pharaoh's heart. He's not going to allow Kim Jong-un to stay in that position. He's not going to allow compromise to come. Something is going to dramatically happen, because his time for being a dictator is over, unless he turns his heart to the Lord.
Kim Jong-un, if you're reading this somehow, turn your heart to the Lord Jesus. There are people praying for you, and if you will completely change, God is going to help you on a path that will not be destructive. So, you can choose, Kim Jong-un. You choose who you'll serve. If you serve God, and if you change your ways, God will protect you. He will protect North Korea in a unique way and make peace with South Korea. However, if you continue on your path, it will lead to your destruction, and the sad thing about that is your destruction will lead to the path to hell. So, I just pray that somehow God will get that message to Kim Jong-un, because God cares about him. He doesn't want that anyone should perish.
One of the words the Lord gave us is the word amplification. God wants to amplify your voice, and then it's going to be a wave that's going to be love-motivated. God is going to give us that love motivation, and we're going to prophesy in a new way. We're going to prophesy innovative strategies.
Now, not all of these will really touch everyone's heart as I'm sharing this, but take notes and go over it again, because there will be parts of this that will stand out for you, and you'll say, "This is my part. This is what I need." It's a lot of information, but go over it again and again, and believe it, declare and decree it.
So, this is the beginning of strength coming. There's humiliation that has happened to some of the body of Christ. Maybe it happened to you on your job or maybe you've been persecuted in another way. Maybe you're a student and it happened at school. Listen, God is going to cause you to shine. He's going to take you to the top of the heap. He's going to show you what to do to be the best of the best. There are spiritual confrontations coming, but God is going to anoint the business leaders. God is going to anoint those who, like Nehemiah, will be able to build walls of culture and change things in every way.
So, Father, I pray for those who will possess the gates of their future. Father, I pray that there will be strategies, and that there will be a new levels of intimacy. Father, I pray for those who have felt overwhelmed.
The Lord says, "Don't be overwhelmed. Calm your spirit. Calm your spirit. Be still and know that I am God, and as you just take time in stillness just abiding with the Lord, just be still."
You've asked Him so many questions. Now let Him talk back to you. Give time for the Lord to speak to you as well as you speak to him. God will show you which are your gates.
So, Father, I pray for those doors of opportunity. Father, I thank you, Lord, that you're going to give innovation, strategies, acceleration, suddenlies, favor and honor in the name of Jesus.
Let's go through the gate of 2018. Let's possess the gates of our future. Let's do it with excitement, joy and happiness. It's going to be a great year. Now just go do it!

Cindy Jacobs - Word of the Lord - 2018


Word of the Lord - 2018

I hope you all had a wonderful, happy new year. This is the season where we like to share with you what God has been saying for 2018, and I'm very excited about this year.
What I have with me is a compilation of some words that came from the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders and the Global Prophetic Consultation in November 2017, which people say was one of the most historic events they have ever been to in their lives. It's so good, and we know that God has given us a great harvest. We had prophets from around the world sharing together prophetically what they're hearing for the upcoming season. There's a theme that developed for 2018, and this common theme is that it's gonna be a good year.
You know, 2017 was a very difficult time of uncertainty for so many of us. There were terrorist acts, riots, political unrest, and division. As we look on the world news, we have the threat of North Korea looming over the world. We had natural disasters here in the U.S., with fires and flooding across the nation. But, in the midst of it, I found myself starting to feel really good, and people looked at me like, “Are you crazy? Why are you feeling good right now?” Because I'm seeing what God is bringing.
God is doing a new thing. As you may know, as we prophesy, we often look for a biblical connection. Why do we do this? Because the Bible is a book of Hebrew thought. It's not a book of Western thinking at all. So, if we're going to understand the Bible, we need to understand the numerology. There are very important things that are hidden keys in scripture. People can say, “Oh, it's an occult thing”. No, it's a Hebrew thing, and if we want to understand what is written in the context of what is written, we need to look at the keys that have been given to us.

Possessing the Gates

On the Hebrew calendar, 2018 is the year 5778 and, if we see the pictorial emphasis from this, 5778 forms a gate. In fact, this gate can look kind of like a bridal canopy. So, as I was asking the Lord what is going to happen in 2018, I felt the Holy Spirit saying it's the year to possess the gates of your future.
This is very important. I'm going to use the text Genesis 22:17-18, “Blessing I will bless you. Multiplying I will multiply.” Whenever the scripture reiterates something, such as “blessing I will bless you”, this is a form of emphasis meaning it's superlative. It's going to be greater than you can imagine. "Multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars in the heaven and as the sand washes on the seashore and your descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies, and your seed, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice.” I feel those descendants are not just our natural children, but also our spiritual children—people we have mentored or movements that we have started.
Some of you know that I wrote a book that came out in 1991 called Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, and I've just finished the 4th edition for it, which is coming out later this year. It's a new update with a fresh, new look at prayer and spiritual warfare. As I was writing it, I didn't even think about the significance of gates. But, this year will be a time where we are going to possess these gates—opportunities that are before us that we haven’t been able to reach before. In other words, we've not been able to go through the gates of opportunity.
It’s very interesting that this promise was given to Abraham around 2018 BC, which was 2018 years before Christ and 2018 years after, so it's like a double full-circle time. We are children of Abraham, since we have been grafted into the vine, so promises given to Abraham are promises for us. Now, let's talk about some ways to possess those gates.
Number one, you have to be prepared. Sometimes people just take life day by day, like, well, whatever comes I'm going to deal with it, but this is a year to possess your future. So, you need to look and say, “What does God want me to accomplish this year? What is it that I am supposed to possess? What are those things that have been dreams that you have longed to fulfill?”
It's a time to dream again. It's a time to sit down and say, “Maybe we had a business failure, or maybe we had something happen to our family, or maybe that dream didn't come true,” but don't give up on your dream. Possess it. This is a special year with special promises. We need to get ready for it, but how do we do that? One way is to surrender to God. Just surrender everything to God.

What Gates Has Satan Closed?

Where has Satan closed your gates? Don't just let life pass you by. Think about where Satan has come in to those gates. Maybe it’s been friendship gates or family gates. Maybe there are some things that happened in your family and they were really painful. Don't let Satan just win. Say, “No! Satan, you can't win. You can't have my family.” It’s time to stand and declare and decree.
As we sought direction together for the year, we kept hearing that “Glory” is going to be a significant word in 2018. There are going to be so many incredible miracles that God is going to show us. Habakkuk 2:14 says that the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. God is going to show himself as the great God, the glorious God.
We are to live from the glory down, not from the problems of our life up. In other words, if we're seated with Him in Heavenly places, and He’s a glorious God, He has all the solutions. He has all the answers. He has everything you need. So, when you're looking at a situation, don't look at what the current situation says. Don't look at the problems of it. Seek God from the Heavenly, being seated with him in Heavenly places. Ask him to give solutions and bring those solutions down into the problem. God is full of wisdom. He's a kingdom administrator. He knows how to do everything.
I can't tell you how many times I could not figure out what to do until I finally just calmed myself inside and said, “God, you know what to do”, and all of the sudden, I had the solution. It was like I suddenly realized that I was seated with him, talking to the Lord and He gave me the solution. I knew what to do, and I brought that into the current situation. You can do this when you need wisdom with your children, wisdom with teenagers—praise God that's a very interesting time of life, isn't it—or whatever it is. If you're married, you might need wisdom regarding your spouse.
There are gates that Satan wants to shut—gates of relationship, gates that will slam in your face—and Satan will say to you, “You're never going to have a good relationship with your family. You're not going to have good times. The things that have happened have caused irreparable damage.” No, that is not true, because it's not God's will, and God created your family. He meant it to be good. Don't give up your battle. Now, maybe it won't come about in 2018, but don't give up the battle. God will turn it.


Begin to shift to fully embrace the truth that God is calling you to be an overcomer. I challenge you to take this truth and run with it.
Now is the time to start with a brand new self-paced, online course that covers 10 significant areas of spiritual warfare.
I’ve taken over 30 years of lessons, mistakes, and stories of breakthrough and poured them into these sessions. My deep desire is that those who come after me wouldn’t have to start over, but can begin with this foundation and see even more victories than I ever imagined!


A Season of Suddenlies and Acceleration

God is moving us into a season where He just does something suddenly for us. Like, one day everything's terrible, and the next day you're just shocked that everybody loves each other. It's as if nothing bad ever happened, and you're just kind of looking around, and you're going, “Wow. Yesterday we were all at each other's throats, and today it's like it never happened.” You know, God can do that.
Salvation came to the Earth suddenly when Jesus was born, and you know that Moses came as a liberator seemingly suddenly after all those years of captivity. God spoke after hundreds of years of being silent. The suddenlies will come in your life, and that should give you hope in the midst of all your problems that suddenlies are coming.
Another word that was corporately given across the board was acceleration. This is a time when your wealth will accelerate. Blessings will accelerate. Prosperity will accelerate. You need to believe for it. The Bible says the word did not profit them not being mixed with faith.
You need to believe God that He’s going to give you that prosperity, that He's going to give you blessing, and you know you say, “Well, what if I believe and nothing happens?” If you don't believe, I can assure you nothing will happen. Whenever God says ‘I will’, that's a powerful promise, and multiplying ‘I will multiply you’. So, let's believe for acceleration, suddenlies, and for God to multiply you suddenly.
God is going to give business opportunities to many people. Maybe you are in poverty right now, or maybe you're not able to make your bills, but God will download something to you that you're good at. You're not going to have to work harder, but you'll work smarter, and it's going to bring you the funds you need. You're going to be able to do what your main thing is, and these other things will not take you over, but yet it's going to give you the income you need.
Suddenly, that gate of favor is going to open up for you, and that gate of honor. Where there's been dishonor, there will be honor. Somebody was telling me how Billy Graham used to be dishonored in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and now there is a highway or a freeway named after him there. That can happen. You can outlast your enemies. You can live longer, do better. Keep your heart right, and one day honor will come into the place of dishonor.
These are all very significant things. God is saying something to us.

A Moral Reformation

God is exposing immorality. There is going to be a moral reformation, and this is going to happen in Hollywood. Many, many people in Hollywood are going to understand that biblical values are important. I see many, many in Hollywood being interested in what we call good moral programming, and I'm just thankful for the people in Hollywood. You know, we always diss them, but they work so hard, and I just want to put in a good word for them right now.
After the Reformation, there was a counter reformation, where a lot of the work that had been done was undone. It was a very dark time. Well, the Lord spoke to us that if we are attentive, there will not be another counter reformation. If we don't evangelize the Millennials with a biblical worldview, if we don't speak to their hearts, in a decade, we're going to see all that we have gained in this time of going into the seven spheres, or mountains of authority, start to be undone again. We want to reach the Millennials. We want to listen to the Millennials, and God is going to anoint people to do this and pray. It's time to pray for the Millennials, and I prayed about that, too.
There's a Revival coming—a revival of a magnitude worldwide that we cannot imagine. There's a reformation coming, and I want to say something about that. We are in the midst of the Great Awakening now. The Great Awakening worldwide has begun. It's not going to begin. It has begun, and it's going to begin in different stages. We have seen great revivals come before, the Welsh Revival, different Revivals, but they didn't last. However, we know with this reformation, there's going to be a marriage between evangelism and reformation, and we're going to see nations changed. We're in the process.

The Isaiah 19 Highway

Another word that God gave us is about the Isaiah 19 highway. You may not be familiar with that, but it's talked about in Isaiah, the 19th chapter, that there's a highway of holiness that will be built from Egypt to Assyria to Israel. What is going on right now in Iran and the unrest there, what happened recently, there was such a reformation of Saudi Arabia. God is preparing a highway.
God is preparing a way for nation after nation after nation to be touched through religious freedom with his power, and there's going to be a connection that will happen even with Israel. Sometimes people say, “Well that could never happen.” It’s going to happen, because the Bible says that it will happen.

The Great Transfer of Wealth

Another thing that God spoke to us about is a transfer of wealth. This will happen in more of a season than a one-year time frame, but we see the beginnings where believers are going to open their eyes and they're going to see opportunities for wealth. They're going to know how to go through the gates, how to go through the doors of opportunity.
There will be great financial blessings start to come to the U.S. Things are already beginning to turn around. God also showed me that for all the Middle East there are going to be blessings come for the believers there too, because what God is doing is all part of this Isaiah 19 highway.
I remember when we met with the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, God spoke to us a number of years ago that the EU would fragment, and it has happened. We know there was Brexit. The Lord also showed us that the dollar would remain in a stable place for investing when things were shaky. This was around 5 years ago, and many people are saying it was going to crash and it's going to go down. Well, the stock market is going up and up and up.
There will be some course corrections, but I do not at this time see a major crash, where it's going to completely plummet, as long as we continue on the current path. But, if there's compromise, it will go down, and you will see this directly correlating with what's happening with our connection with Israel.
I also want to mention the Middle East. The Middle East is very important, as is China. Asia's a very huge part, and the Chinese people in particular, but all of the Asians with this Isaiah 19 highway. Look to numbers of people going to Egypt. Numbers and numbers of Christians will start going to Egypt to pray, because this move of God, it's happening now. It's not something just beginning. It's been happening, but we're going to see it's going to be on a greater and greater scale.
Africa is going to experience an explosion of God's power, but the nations are going to be transformed, as well. At the meeting of prophets we had recently, we had prophets from all over the world pray together, and we were decreeing that the evil dictator Mugabe of Zimbabwe was going to come down immediately. At the exact moment that we were taking authority over the spirit that had held Zimbabwe bound by this dictator, the tanks were rolling into Harare. We have to keep praying that it doesn't go back into the same way. We have great authority through the name of Jesus, and God has been speaking to us that we are going to go through gates of authority. It's time for the Daniels in Babylon to arise.
Daniel captured Babylon, instead of Babylon capturing Daniel. God allowed Daniel to be captured, but then he became head of all the soothsayers. The Lord showed us that, as prophets, we are going to go into many, many doors and places in secular society, governmental places, where there'll be those that are psychics there, but God is going to give us words that outshine them all through signs, and wonders, and miracles. We see this in the case of Moses and the Pharaoh with the serpents and the rod that Moses threw down.
We prophesied a lot about North Korea, that they are going to have a suddenly, where God is going to deal with Kim Jong-un. In fact, the word was, "I'm dealing with the evil dictators of the world, and these evil dictators are going to shake.” Maduro's gonna shake. He's gonna come down, and some of the others. We’re seeing Iran shaking right now. We saw what happened with Zimbabwe. We're going to see it with Kim Jong-un. There's going to be some turmoil, but Kim Jong-un is going to come down. God is hardening his heart like Pharaoh's heart. He's not going to allow Kim Jong-un to stay in that position. He's not going to allow compromise to come. Something is going to dramatically happen, because his time for being a dictator is over, unless he turns his heart to the Lord.
Kim Jong-un, if you're reading this somehow, turn your heart to the Lord Jesus. There are people praying for you, and if you will completely change, God is going to help you on a path that will not be destructive. So, you can choose, Kim Jong-un. You choose who you'll serve. If you serve God, and if you change your ways, God will protect you. He will protect North Korea in a unique way and make peace with South Korea. However, if you continue on your path, it will lead to your destruction, and the sad thing about that is your destruction will lead to the path to hell. So, I just pray that somehow God will get that message to Kim Jong-un, because God cares about him. He doesn't want that anyone should perish.
One of the words the Lord gave us is the word amplification. God wants to amplify your voice, and then it's going to be a wave that's going to be love-motivated. God is going to give us that love motivation, and we're gonna prophesy in a new way. We're gonna prophesy innovative strategies.
Now, not all of these will really touch everyone's heart as I'm sharing this, but take notes and go over it again, because there will be parts of this that will stand out for you, and you'll say, “This is my part. This is what I need.” It's a lot of information, but go over it again and again, and believe it, declare and decree it.
So, this is the beginning of strength coming. There's humiliation that has happened to some of the body of Christ. Maybe it happened to you on your job or maybe you've been persecuted in another way. Maybe you’re a student and it happened at school. Listen, God is going to cause you to shine. He's going to take you to the top of the heap. He's going to show you what to do to be the best of the best. There are spiritual confrontations coming, but God is going to anoint the business leaders. God is going to anoint those who, like Nehemiah, will be able to build walls of culture and change things in every way.
So, Father, I pray for those who will possess the gates of their future. Father, I pray that there will be strategies, and that there will be a new levels of intimacy. Father, I pray for those who have felt overwhelmed.
The Lord says, “Don't be overwhelmed. Calm your spirit. Calm your spirit. Be still and know that I am God, and as you just take time in stillness just abiding with the Lord, just be still.
You've asked Him so many questions. Now let Him talk back to you. Give time for the Lord to speak to you as well as you speak to him. God will show you which are your gates.
So, Father, I pray for those doors of opportunity. Father, I thank you, Lord, that you're going to give innovation, strategies, acceleration, suddenlies, favor, and honor in the name of Jesus.
Let's go through the gate of 2018. Let's possess the gates of our future. Let's do it with excitement, joy, and happiness. It's going to be a great year. Now just go do it!

NEW SPIRITUAL WARFARE COURSE

Over the decades I’ve been in ministry, I’ve run into so many different attitudes and perspectives people have toward spiritual warfare. Some people feel it’s this dark, spooky, complicated thing. Others dismiss it as not being that important. Still others can make it seem very weird or strange. But none of these mindsets is correct!
I think of all the times Paul would write in his letters, “Now, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant . . .” That’s exactly how I feel in regards to prayer and spiritual warfare - I do not want you to be ignorant! Or, if you are a little more seasoned in this area, I do not want you to become stagnant. The enemy is relentless, so we need to be relentless in growing and learning too!
Begin to shift to fully embrace the truth that God is calling you to be an overcomer. I challenge you to take this truth and run with it.
Now is the time to start. I’ve put together a self-paced, online course that covers 10 significant areas of spiritual warfare. You’ll learn about things like:
  • How to exercise spiritual authority through intercession
  • How to recognize and deal with strongholds and open doors to the enemy in your community, city, state, nation, etc.
  • The role of angels
  • Strategies the enemy uses to gain access to your life
  • The power of binding and loosing
The best thing is you get unlimited, lifetime access to this course. That means you can work through it as many times as you need to or come back to specific portions of it for a refresher.
I’ve taken over 30 years of lessons, mistakes, and stories of breakthrough and poured them into these sessions. My deep desire is that those who come after me wouldn’t have to start over, but can begin with this foundation and see even more victories than I ever imagined!
If faith has been stirring and rising in your heart, then don’t miss this moment. If the circumstances we’ve prayed over need persistent intercession, then here is a valuable tool for you. If you are still in need of breakthrough, then here is the knowledge you need to continue contending.
Will you join me? I’d love the opportunity to keep investing in you.
I can’t wait to hear about your breakthroughs!

Chuck Pierce: 10 Days to Press Into Rest and a Time of New Gates

Chuck Pierce

This past Sunday was amazing! I saw that the Body is being sorely TESTED! Where testing is a hard dynamic, our faith builds and increases as we submit to the Lord when circumstances seem to be overtaking us! Here are the words that came forth when the prophetic window opened above us!

In Counting the Omer: 10 Days to Press for Rest and Peace! Shalom! Let Wholeness Come!

Chuck D. Pierce, James Vincent, Robyn Vincent, Shatece McLeod, Anne Tate, Keith Pierce, Acijam Otaxa, Barbara Wentroble, and Sylvia Sizemore:
The Lord says: "There are some of you whose bones are being fortified at this moment! You are being healed. Where your bones have been very weak, all of a sudden there's a strengthening occurring that is causing you to arise! Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit. Let Me touch you now! Healing power is coming through! Grace to deliver is coming through! Joy everlasting is coming through! 

Let the gates swing wide, for the joy of the Lord will be, the joy of the Lord will be, the joy of the Lord will be your strength. So let the gates swing wide! Let the gates swing wide! Let the gates swing wide! Let the gates swing wide." (Photo via Pixabay)


New Song:
He comes in power, and healing, and joy, and grace,
He comes in power, and healing, and joy and grace,
He comes in power and healing and joy and grace,
He's coming in power and healing, and joy and grace.

"Look at the doors that need to swing open, look at the gates where you have the keys! These are doors that need to be unlocked! Look at the walls that need to be broken down! Let the gates swing wide. I Am coming in power! I AM coming in surety! I AM coming to strengthen your feet! I AM coming to strengthen your bones! I will open up every door for you! You open up the gate! Break the locks! Knock down the walls!"

Locks Like Panama Canal!

All locks are breaking right now! Let them break! This looks like the Panama Canal! The locks are shifting. You're rising! The water's rising! This is the type of lock where you couldn't get through to the next level without the lock shifting and the water rising! The lock is shifting. The water's rising! You're just going to float in! (Photo by Stan Shebs via Wikimedia Commons)

The Next Ten Days!

In the next 10 days there will be a supernatural rest coming from the trauma that we've been under. In that rest, you will begin to gain a clarity of vision for the future. Let the "gate of rest" swing wide!

"I AM blowing open some gates that have never been opened on this earth before. You don't know where they are, but suddenly you're going to be standing in a place, and you'll feel the wind, and you'll see this gate open in front of you! The gate will then swing wide. 

Be bold to go through! 

Ancient gates do not depend upon your ability, but your relationship with Me. These gates open up ancient paths. Do not fear entering the unfamiliar place I show you. You go through the gate you see, and do not try to convince others to go through with you. You could be paving the way for many! I can access and wait for you to come back to give others access!

"In your life this far, some of you have been taught to only open certain gates. Go with your spirit, not with what you've been taught. I know how to teach you to open every gate that is set in front of you. The Word of God in you is working something new. Swing wide the gate when the Spirit comes upon you! Swing wide that gate. I AM moving by the Spirit! A supernatural wind is coming upon you! Swing wide the gate in the time of swinging wide!"

Now hear the word of the Lord! I saw a gate and – "Religion" was written on it. It was cracked, with a narrow opening! Many of you backed off and said, "That's way too narrow for me to even try to go through." The Lord says, "I'm moving the lock of religion! The gate of My worship is opening up! Go in and worship Me in freedom! For you have been held by man's way. 

I'm sending one major tidal wave! This wave is going to push you past man's way. This wave will push to where I've called you to settle! This is a place where your full destiny is located! I'm gonna push you all the way in! (Photo via Pixabay)

"Many have been resisting that gate, because you know when you step in, your feet will lose control over the circumstances around you, and that's what I'm intending for you to do. Let Me get you through the gate and get your feet walking! You will go through and see a tunnel. This tunnel is a supernatural tunnel. This tunnel is not from the enemy! Do not be deceived. Do not be confused. I Am the One sending you this tunnel! For when you go through this tunnel, you will land, and you will show up in a brand new land!"

Gate of Sorrow and Trauma will Turn to the Gate of New Laughter! (Interpretation of Tongues Message by Shatece McLeod)

"You've been fighting for the ship and you've been causing the ship to stay afloat! Remember, though, that I send the winds and I send the waves. Over these few days ahead, let Me show you how I can bring afloat that which you have been fighting for! In the midst of the winds and waves, you will say, 'I have seen the Lord intervene in my trauma.' Many of you have been bailing water and bailing water, but now I will send a wind that will not only dry up the water in your boat, but I'll even fix the leak that's been there. For there are leaks in your spirit man that cause you to lose strength. This is a day, if you will submit that, I will control and I will gain authority in your life, and you will rest.

"Today is a day that the 40 years of trauma is coming to an end. Today is a day where the sorrow and the heartache that was hidden behind the gate, I AM opening it. 

Yes, the gate of sorrow looks one way this moment, but very soon this gate will turn into the 'gate of new laughter.' 

This gate will be filled with a new joy and will be filled with a new healing. What was unaligned because of the trauma of youth will be aligned and your youth will be restored. Yes (my daughter, Penny Pierce is representing the Body), just as I'm speaking to you individually, I'm speaking to My daughters corporately, and I AM speaking to My daughter. There has been a disk that has shifted in the backbone of My Body. I Am aligning the disk to create a flow that will release, release, release, breaking trauma and restoring the hope of My faith this day in Jesus' Name! (Photo via Pixabay)

"I Am working out the shaking that went on in your bones and in your soul, that went all the way back to your childhood. Some of you were even shaken when you were a child – shaken physically – and you've had trauma since that day. I say today, I Am opening the gate for you to step in and be healed of that trauma. Take a step right now, and be healed of trauma.

"This is going to be a season of such joy and rejoicing. Not joy and rejoicing over your circumstances, but joy and rejoicing over the hand of the Lord that has brought you through, that has caused you to come through in victory, when everything around you said, There is no way. But you have said in your heart, 'BUT GOD!' Because you have said, 'But God,' I say I have come to your defense in this hour.

"I Am breaking you out of all that would try to hold you in that old season. I am cleansing in this hour. I Am even going to cause you to be able to stand and testify. The Word will come forth from your lips, for did I not say that you will overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony, and you loved not your life unto death? Even where death tried to take you out, death could not! You said, 'But God!' I have come to your defense. Enter into the rejoicing of the season, for you are My overcoming army!"

I Am Removing the Gate of Religion, Breaking the Gate of Trauma, and Addressing the Gate of Poverty!

"As you step into this place that I AM calling and are healed of the trauma of the past 40 years, you will see great abundance in this season. You will see the overflow! Pennies will become abundant! This is a 'bumper gate' that will create a bumper crop! Bumper gates stay closed until they are bumped. Bump up against what is closed, and you will see an opening!"

Many times in your life you are afraid to hit that thing that's closed in front of you. Because of the hurt, the trauma, the pain, etc., we'll come right up to it, and we will pray and we will pray, and we will cry, and we will beg, and we will plead...but we just won't bump up against the gates of Hell! 

The enemy doesn't want us to hit this new gate, because the moment we hit the gate, the gate must swing wide. (Photo via Pixabay)

Now today is a day, and I saw something in the heavens: there's a bronze gate, and that bronze gate loves to remain closed and locked up! That gate tries to prevent us from receiving what Christ, the hope of glory, has in store for us. 

The Lord says, "Remember, I've called a Church to shake the gates of Hell, and I've called a Church, that if they will hit that gate, they will see it open! They will see the release that I promised, they will see the fulfilment of the pouring out, and they will see My will done on this earth as it is in Heaven! This is the gate that holds captivity captive! Bump it and watch the opening occur!"

Prayer Alert From Cindy Jacobs: A Call for United Prayer

Prayer Alert From Cindy Jacobs: A Call for United Prayer

Mike and Cindy JacobsA few months ago, the Lord had me issue a warning called "Shields Up" to pray for the protection of our nation. Tonight, while reading my Bible, the following passage leapt off the page:

And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole Heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem. (Daniel 9:12

It does not take a prophet to realize that America is in trouble! We know there are many radical extremists who hate us - this is not new. However, as I read the verse this evening I was shaken by it. This is what I am hearing: "There is an another attack on the scale of 9/11 being planned!"

As I prayed to pinpoint how to intercede, I immediately heard these words: 

"Close the gates! All borders must be closed to terrorists and those who would aid them." 

This includes all airport customs checkpoints, as well as border crossings.

We must pray for our customs and border agents to have eagle eyes to "see" any potential persons trying to make their way into the United States. We must also pray for all points of public transport.
The good news is that prayer works! This is a call upon every praying person everywhere to stand in the gap and pray for the protection of the nation.

Thank you for praying!

For the nation,
