"Prophetic Word: A Fresh Release of God's Love and Mercy" Doug Addison


"Prophetic Word: A Fresh Release of God's Love and Mercy"
Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA

In February God is calling us to enter into His rest. Don't get too busy or you will miss what God is speaking right now. This year is about finding a new upgraded way of doing what God has called you to do. New angels are being assigned to you to get things done without having to work too hard.

God spoke to me clearly that we must take time away from the things that drain us or take our focus away from the things that are important for this season. He is calling us to do what we already do but find more effective ways to do it.

February is a breakthrough month, March will cause things to move forward, and there will be surprises in April. Watch for new assignments, gifts, and callings to come forward.

Promotion Is Here and It's Not Too Late

Something new is happening in the spiritual realm between February 8 and March 8. God is promoting those who have made it through the extreme testing that has taken place over the past seven years.

But there are many people who bailed out on the process that God was doing in their hearts and lives. Starting in February, God is calling those who bailed out to get back into God's timing and process. 

This is a time of recovery for those who laid down their greater calling. It is also a time of advancement for those who stayed in. (Photo via Pixabay)

False Humility Being Healed

God has hidden many people over the last seven years. When God does this in your life, it seems that no matter what you do, things do not seem to work for you. But this is the time for you to come forward with new favor. There is a difference between when God hides you and when you hide yourself. Hiding yourself is false humility. When God hides you, you are still operating in all that you are called to, but God allows you to have minimal favor and people tend not to listen to you.

These hidden seasons are necessary and help us to grow and mature spiritually. The temptation during the quiet seasons is to pull back further. But God does not want us to do this. That is false humility and so many people begin to hide themselves thinking they are being humble when in reality God wants you to move forward. Watch as the "hidden ones" begin to emerge and see the healing happen for those who hid themselves. This is a time of promotion.

Shift in Love

Just as Valentine's Day is a time of love, so God is releasing a new wave of His love and mercy this month. This is to help offset a negative legalistic view of God that has crept into many people's beliefs. A big sign of this is when you see people moving from grace and mercy to rules and judgment. God is love and He is calling us to have love and compassion. (Photo via Wikimedia)

When we stand too firm for what we believe we can lose touch with grace, mercy and God's heart for people in need around us. God is revealing these negative beliefs now. The best way to deal with it if you find yourself doing some of these things is to repent and be humble towards others.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

God is a Loving Father Not an Angry Judge

One major change that is being released is how we view God. He is a loving Father and not an angry judge. God is not mad at you or punishing you for things you do. God is not punishing the U.S. or judging us. God the Father truly is who Jesus said He is.

1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

It is interesting that many people who deal harshly with those who are not Christians are most often the very ones that see Him as an angry judge. As we clear up our view of who God really is then we will live a life free of guilt and can more easily give away God's love and mercy to others.

Modern Parable in a Movie

Recently I watched the movie The Judge with Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr. It was a sad and depressing story about a father who was a judge and was not kind to his children. His sons did not flourish and longed for a blessing from their father. The father's harsh judgments made him sick and destroyed the lives of people around him.

God spoke to me that this is the condition of many Christians today. People who view God as a judge tend to treat others harshly and it is a misrepresentation of the loving Father in Heaven.

Parents and spiritual parents hold the key to revival. As they humble themselves and reach out to their children then healing will come. The Spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:17) is coming to turn the hearts of the parents to the children.
A dividing line is here as God is revealing His true nature to people and calling us to be humble and love others.

House Arrest Changing

All things are becoming new. Difficult times, being misunderstood and betrayal are being cut off. God is giving you a place of peace. Many people have been under "house arrest" and have been limited in the House of God. But God is changing your house arrest into a house of rest. We are entering into a new season of freedom, peace and rest. Praise and gratefulness is the key.

Three New Keys

I have been seeing this prophetic word over many people when I speak and do Prophetic Life Coaching. God is giving us three keys right now: understanding, creativity, and relationships.

The Key of Understanding: This means a deeper understanding of your current situation and insight into the next steps you need to take is coming to you. He is going to show you how much grace and love has been extended you.

The Key of Creativity: This is about creative ideas and problem solving. It involves wisdom and discernment, heavenly mindsets and understanding.

Key to Restoration of Relationships: Key relationships are developing and you are also being given a key to reconciliation. Watch relationships begin to reconcile. (Photo via Pixabay)

A New Sound is Being Released Right Now

February is the start of a whole new sound and way of doing things. All things are being made new. It is time to decree God's supernatural vision over yourself. I saw people rising up and moving forward as a new sound from Heaven will break shackles from the past. People are being released from their prisons of hopelessness.

Dream: Bless Your Enemy

I had a dream that I was being pursued by someone who wanted to kill me. I was fleeing from them but noticed they had a flat tire. God spoke to me in the dream to stop and help them fix the flat tire. I saw that the tire needed an inner tube and one arrived. As air was being put into the inner tube it filled his entire car. Air represents the Holy Spirit and God is calling us to bless our enemies right now.

This ties in with the spirit of God's love and the "Restoration of Relationships" key being released. The prophetic meaning is that God wants to touch people with the Holy Spirit in their "inner parts."

Prophetic Sign in the Super Bowl

The prophetic sign given to us in the Super Bowl was that in the last moment God will come through for you. He is promoting unknown people like Malcolm Butler of the New England Patriots. He was a rookie and made a miraculous last-minute game-winning interception. Butler said in an interview after the game that he had a vision before the game that he would make a big play. Just four days before the big game he tweeted, "BE HUMBLE......BE BLESSED."

Overall we are going to begin seeing healing of relationships and new freedom coming. Watch for last minute miracles and God changing the hearts of people around you. Be open to new ways of moving in God's love and power!

My Rain is Falling by James Donovan

My Rain is Falling 

by James Donovan

Identity Network
 
I am The Great I AM! I am the Lord that calms the storms and departs the seas. I am moving upon planet earth with a mighty move of My Spirit. Like the natural rain comes down and replenishes the earth to grow and bear a harvest of fruit. My rain drops are falling. My mercy is falling like the rain and springing up a well and bringing forth life. I am opening up the heavens and invading the earth with spiritual rain. I am bringing forth refreshing to those who are weary and down trodden.
 
In the natural the dark clouds open up and the rain comes down. In the same way, My glory clouds are releasing My rain. It is a spiritual rain, which is full of My presence and My glory. I am bringing forth newness of life and new growth. I am reviving and bringing newness of life to the dry and wasted areas of your lives; to bring about change and to revive you to the newness of life that I have for you; to enable you to flow in My Presence.
 
I Am Opening Heavens and Pouring Down My Rain
 
My rains bring refreshing and growth and I am moving. I desire you, My people to move by My Spirit in these days, and to flow with My resurrected power and authority. So I am reviving you, My people and calling forth My chosen ones to flow in the river from above; to flow and be led by My Spirit. For My Spirit brings freedom and liberty.
 
I am calling My chosen ones to flow and soak in My presence and harken to My voice, and be led of My Spirit. For I am bringing new growth and spiritual maturity to those who will yield to Me. Press into Me, and receive My rain drops from heaven; which is more of Me. For My rain is falling upon earth bringing a mighty revival to those who shall receive My glory, My giftings, My anointing and walk in My power and authority with signs and wonders following. For I AM A GOD OF MIRACLES!
 
Be glad and rejoice for I am opening the heavens and pouring down My rain; My presence. I am restoring, and rebuilding. I am bringing forth newness of life from those areas previously devastated, to those who will receive My presence, and walk in My presence. For where My Spirit is there is freedom and liberty.
 
Yes, Lord
 
I am raising up a people who in the natural look peculiar. But I am moving through those who say, "Yes Lord, send Your rain. Yes Lord, send your Presence. Bring forth change by Your Spirit, for You are our God!" I am raising up those who rejoice in My rain upon planet earth, and acknowledge that I am bringing forth change and touching lives for My own Glory.
 
My Presence brings forth My love. So receive My love. Come and walk with Me this day. Receive My rain. Receive My presence in your life, not just on Sundays but every day. Let My presence come on you and cover you with My love all the time and in every area of your lives. For I am raising up a people who will walk in My love and give My love away.
 
For, through My presence I AM filling you up with Holy Ghost fire to be My conduits, fulfilling the destiny I have for you. Be releasers of My Greatness in this season.

What if God Really Did Do This One Thing? by ALEX KOCMAN

God's wrath

We like to keep God in our own theological box, but the hardest pill to swallow in the book of Romans is that God is perfectly justified in condemning or saving whomever He pleases. (CreationSwap/Travis Silva)

What if God Really Did Do This One Thing?



Whenever I’ve had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with someone, perhaps the biggest regret I have in every conversation ismaking too little of God’s justice.
We pray for help, healing, guidance, and the salvation of others. We thank God for good things, like food in our stomachs and a roof over our heads. When we’re feeling inspired, we give God some holy attention in worship. And, in moments of great clarity, we may even have the wisdom and soberness to thank Him for the cross.
But almost never do we dare let our minds wander to God’s justice—much lest praise Him for it.
What if God _________?
Theologians argue in circles over God’s sovereignty and our own free will, and countless volumes have been written throughout church history with little consensus. And in the name of unity, many young Christians tune the whole thing out.
But as a result, one of Paul’s most frightening verses has been profoundly ignored.
What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy…?” (Romans 9:22-23a)
Many believers, upon reading this verse, will barge into Scripture to douse the fire of this verse. “Surely God doesn’t create people just to send them to Hell,” we are quick to specify—and rightly so, of course.
But that said, the problem is that Paul’s point isn’t mainly to teach a theological principle about how we get saved. His main point is to ask one question:
What if?
What if God did have full control over who chooses Him and who didn’t?
What if He did have the ability to force everyone into Heaven by trusting the Gospel, but to glorify Himself, He didn’t?
Am I suggesting that God made certain people just for the hell fire? Certainly not. But regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, consider this.
Before You Answer…
How you answer the questions of God’s sovereignty in this passage is not the point. The point is that God has the right to do whatever He wants.
He is not arbitrary, unjust, or egotistical.
He is, simply put, God.
He does nothing that’s inconsistent with His perfect justice and righteousness—even forgiving us required that His wrath be unleashed against a substitute. But His sense of justice is just a wee bit superior to ours.
Are we okay with the possibilities that opens up?
Respectable thinkers can make compelling arguments for both sides of the Calvinism/Arminianism debate. But whoever you are, as soon as you find yourself clinging at all costs to, “God can’t do _______,” you might be thinking in the flesh.
We all must realize already that God would have been perfectly justified not to saveanyone at all; why are we so quick to limit the character and behavior of a God whom we can only access at a blood-bought, great and terrible price?
“Perfect love casts out fear,” we cite over and over again, reminding ourselves that we don’t have to be scared of God. But even this oft-used verse implies that there was some fear to begin with in need of being cast out.
In other words, God is fearsome—yet the sacrificial punishment of Christ grants us the tremendous gift of full access to His love and mercy only, Christ having absorbed all His justice and wrath.
The mercy bought to us at the cross gives us access to the same God who proclaimed against His own chosen people: “Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is my fury!” (Isaiah 10:5, ESV)
Regardless of where you stand theologically, do not forget that you—the clay has no right to question the potter (Romans 9:21).
The Right Reaction
Biblical theology has its place. But, to butcher Paul’s words from Romans 11 and 12…
Who can fully understand the depths of the riches of God’s knowledge, planning, and power over the human heart? Who can give God advice? To whom does God owe anything? Answer: no one.
By contrast, everything—from the greatest galaxies to the insects crawling the earth, including you and the person you’re sharing the Gospel with—is all for God, from God, to God, and through God. His glory is chief.
So give Him glory sacrifice yourself to Him, and let Him transform your limited human mind.

Barbie Breathitt: Christlikeness From the Life of Elisha: Tests and Double Mantle (The Elijah List)

Barbie Breathitt:
Christlikeness From the 
Life of Elisha: 
Tests and Double Mantle

Barbie BreathittTests and a Double Mantle

After Elijah trained his servant Elisha to look and see, listen and hear, and prophesy the word of the Lord, it was time for him to return to Heaven. The heavenly chariot of God carried Elijah away from Elisha into the spiritual expanse of Heaven's eternity outside of time. Elisha was told by Elijah, "If you see me when I am taken from you, [you will receive a double portion of my spirit]..."

Elisha had to pass many tests and persevere in order to walk in Elijah's double mantle (see 2 Kings 2:1-18). 

Elijah asked Elisha to stay in Gilgal, the place of cutting, circumcision, and the rolling away of reproach, but he refused. This is a picture for us that when God removes our past failures and reproach, we must walk through the gates of authority into the new place with God; and so Elijah then moved on to Bethel, the place or house of God, the gates of Heaven. Bethel was a place where people went to seek counsel from God. Elisha followed Elijah to Bethel to learn how to obtain God's counsel.

We must follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to the next place of testing to progress spiritually. We cannot remain complacent or stagnant; the river of God always flows.

Elijah calling ElishaNext, the sons of the prophets came to Elisha in Bethel and said, "Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?'And Elisha said, "Yes I know; be still!" Elijah told Elisha to remain in Bethel while he went on to Jericho. But Elisha said, "I will not leave you" (2 Kings 2:3 NASB).

The sons of the prophets in Jericho, a place of fragrance and warfare, had also been shown that Elijah was going to be taken away from Elisha that day.

From Jericho, Elijah and Elisha traveled on to Jordan, a place of flowing down or descending, where fifty men of the sons of the prophets stood opposite them at the Jordan River. Elijah took his mantle, folded it together, and struck the waters of the Jordan, which divided, allowing both prophets to cross over on dry ground.

When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." 

As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to Heaven. Elisha saw it [the chariot] and cried out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. 2 Kings 2:9-12 NASB

However, Elijah did not hand his mantle onto Elisha; Elisha had to pick it up after Elijah was taken into Heaven.

What Was the Significance of Elijah's Mantle For Elisha?

The word mantle in Hebrew is addereth; its root word being adar, which is also the word for the last month on the Hebrew calendar. The month of Adar is the best time to remove any personal barriers to holiness, thus it is a time to create the potential for the greatest joy. Adar is the final month of the year, i.e. it completes the year, and hence it is a time of completion. 

The root meaning of adar is glorious, splendid, marvelous, and mighty. In a noun form it is rendered as a cloak or mantle.

Crossing JordanHe also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, "Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over. 2 Kings 2:13-14 NASB

Jewish traditions indicate that the mantle that fell from Elijah was a tallith or prayer shawl. The tallith of a prophet or master teacher would have dark purple-blue threads in the corner tassel. People believed that the purple thread contained miracle power. 

This is why the woman with the issue of blood wanted to touch the hem of Jesus' tallith or garment. When she was healed, Jesus said, "Who touched Me?...I felt virtue leave Me." Then He told her, "Your faith has made you whole," not a purple thread (see Matthew 9:20-22 and Luke 8:43-48).

Elijah's tallith, mantle, or "adar" symbolized that Elisha had removed any barriers to his relationship with God. He was no longer the servant but now stepped into the place of the prophet he had served. Elijah's mantle was a doorway to God's power. 

Elijah told Elisha that if he saw him taken, he would have his desire to carry on the prophetic ministry with a double portion of his spirit.

ElishaThe mantle is a symbol of joy and completion. Elijah left his mantle as a sign that he had completed his assignment. Elisha picked up Elijah's mantle indicating the start of a new year; he was picking up where Elijah left off and beginning his own ministry as a prophet. 

Elijah's mantle was a symbol of an agreement of power and authority between Elijah and God. Elisha's picking up Elijah's mantle symbolized that he was entering into the same agreement with God. When Elisha used Elijah's mantle to part the Jordan River, God established His agreement or covenant with Elisha.

What The Double Portion Looks Like

Everyone is at a different level of hearing and seeing in their spiritual understanding. Elisha had walked and been personally trained by Elijah for years. He had been tested and tried in spiritual disciplines. The sons of the prophets had been through training as well, yet they did not possess the level of seeing that Elisha had developed. Elisha saw the chariot of fire and the horses come to separate him from Elijah. He cried out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" (2 Kings 2:12 NASB).

The sons of the prophets only saw the whirlwind the chariot created. The sons of the prophets were left wondering if Elijah had been translated to Heaven or if he had possibly been transported to another geographic location. They had to search for three days in the natural to come into peace. Elisha knew Elijah had been taken to Heaven because he saw beyond the natural into the invisible realm of the Spirit.

Elijah's MantleNow when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him. 

They said to him, "Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men, please let them go and search for your master; perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send." But when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched three days but did not find him. 

They returned to him while he was staying at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?" 2 Kings 2:15-18 NASB

The New Testament shares an example of the audible voice of God speaking from Heaven when Jesus foretold of His death. Some that stood by didn't hear anything. Others who were present in the crowd heard God's voice manifested in thunder, while still others thought it was an angel.

So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes." John 12:29-30 NASB

The names of both Elijah (meaning "the Lord is my God" or spiritual champion) and Elisha (meaning "God will save me" or protected) carries the record of what they represent, but not necessarily how they saw, if they are thought to be seers. Elijah's name means God is Jehovah or YHVH is my God. He functioned as the Father's recorder on earth.

In the case of God's servant Elijah, the chariot was a trans-dimensional carrier of God's servant. The chariot of God transported Elijah out of time into the eternal realm where Elijah had always existed in heavenly places. When the fullness of time came, God reached down to retrieve the recording of Himself He had placed within Elijah.

Elijah came to restore all things back to God. He was called to turn the hearts of the Fathers back to the sons, and to turn the sons' hearts back to the fathers', to make ready a people for God lest God curse the earth (see Malachi 4). Elijah's anointing was to restore righteousness and protect the earthly realm from being struck with a curse caused by sin.

Elisha's name means "GOD is salvation" or "My God is salvation." He functioned under a double portion of Elijah's spirit.

Walk Like the Prophet Elisha

Elisha's eyes saw beyond the veil of the natural into the supernatural realm where God's army of fiery angels and chariots reside. His eyes were not limited by situations or hard facts. He knew to look beyond the natural to see God's provision. He trusted more in the realm of faith than what seemed to appear in the natural.
Prayer opens our eyesWhen fear blinded Elisha's servant, the prophet's prayer was able to open the attendant's spiritually blind eyes to see the coexisting spiritual realms of angels. 

Knowing that there are more for us than against us brings a peace beyond our present understanding.

Prayer delivers us from fear. Prayer opens our eyes to see God's ever-present answer, while at the same time prophetic decree will blind our enemies and place them at our mercy. For God to trust us at this level, it requires us to develop greater levels of obedience of compassion. God wants to trust us with the lives of our enemies. 

God tests and tries us until He knows that we will not execute our own judgment or harm people in any way.

When God delivers our enemies into our hands, we must return good for evil, blessing for cursing, and lovingkindness for abuse. The Lord is the only one who should ever move in judgment. He said, "Vengeance is Mine." We have no right to be vengeful. 

It is God's place to vindicate us.

We are called to love our enemies, to be kind to those who persecute, use, and abuse our kindness. 

We should lead our enemies to salvation, and their eyes will be opened to God's saving word, loving spirit, and grace. It is time to love like God loves; see like God sees; obey what God's Word says, and then do what God does.

Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?" So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." Then Elisha prayed and said, "O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." And the Lord opened the servant's eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-17 NASB

Elisha prayedWhen Elisha's enemies came down off the mountain to pursue him, Elisha prayed. We should follow his example. Elisha's prayers struck his enemies with blindness. This removed the enemy's power and control. They were forced into a vulnerable place, wandering in darkness and confusion. 

The army had come to do the prophet great harm, but God protected him. The prophet placed his trust in God. In this new state of total dependence and humiliation, the enemy had to trust and blindly follow Elisha to Samaria. Elisha said, "Follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek" (2 Kings 6:19 NASB). (Photo courtesy: Global Recordings Network)

When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, "Strike this people with blindness, I pray." So He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. Then Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city; follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." And he brought them to Samaria. 2 Kings 6:18-19 NASB

Elisha's enemies had to walk through the process of trusting the one they were sent to destroy. Once they arrived at the promised location, Elisha prayed that God would reopen their blind eyes. Their vision was restored. New vision was given in the midst of their enemies.

When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, "O Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." So the Lord opened their eyes and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 2 Kings 6:20 NASB
Many of us have been wounded by an enemy or betrayed by a close friend, but we are to respond to them with God's lovingkindness and compassion.

Then the king of Israel when he saw them, said to Elisha, "My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?" He answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow?... 2 Kings 6:21-22 NASB

CompassionElisha told the King of Israel to respond according to the greatness of God's loving-kindness, to make his enemies the objects of compassion in the presence of all their captors. Elisha encouraged the king to feed the Arameans, to provide for and care for his enemies instead of killing them. The king prepared a feast for the enemy soldiers and they ate to their fill.

"...Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master." So he prepared a great feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel. 2 Kings 6:22-23 NASB

Elisha's mercy triumphed over judgment. 

Great grace leads us to victory. The King of Israel's enemies were delivered into his hands. The King was eager to execute judgment and destroy his enemies, but the prophet carefully redirected his focus to blessing and not destruction.

Good will always triumph over evil. Love will also bring forth a better result than hate.

Never greet your enemy in the same malignant spirit. Never return evil for evil but learn to bless instead of curse. We are not of this world, so we cannot respond in the spirit of this world. God is love so we must respond in the power of His might.
