Fearless Leaders With New Shoes of Authority - Entering a New Season and New Walk In Christ - Bonnie Jones

Fearless Leaders With New Shoes of Authority 

- Entering a New Season and New Walk In Christ

The Elijah List

We're entering a season of a new walk with the Lord. It's a walk unlike any other in the history of mankind. Why? We've been given all authority to conquer the gates of Hell and now we are stepping up to the plate in the authority Christ died for.

Fearless leaders are emerging wearing their new shoes of authority. They walk not in fear of the enemy but in the awe of God. There is no weapon formed against them that will prosper and they believe it. The enemy has already been crushed under their feet and they believe that also. 

These are the overcomers that look adversity in the face and laugh as they continue their march through the footsteps of time.

There will be many obstacles along the way, but God has prepared us with the shoes "peace". It's these shoes that crush satan under our feet. Our demonstration of love protects our feet, and the enemy has no defense against it.

And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. Ephesians 6:15 Amplified

Four-Part Dream: Four Separate Obstacles

Recently, I had a four-part dream where I was shown four separate obstacles. 

In each one the enemy would try to obstruct our walk. But in each one, the Church was victorious because she remained steadfast in the Lord and continued walking together in love.

First, we were walking on a sidewalk that had become muddy. Due to a recent heavy rainfall, soil washed down the bank and onto the sidewalk, causing thick mud. I said, "We must be like Jesus and walk on water!" Directly in front of us we saw a set of footprints in the mud. All we needed to do was follow them and keep our eyes fixed on the clear, clean pool of water that lay ahead. Although our feet got muddy, they were cleansed in the fresh rainwater puddles just ahead of the mud.

We must keep a clear vision because the enemy is trying to get us off track by losing our focus.   

Therefore we must keep our eyes on Jesus and follow after Him. There were great men and women who have gone on before us that paved the way. Each one in their own time followed the same set of footprints. These were the forerunners of the end time army of God that followed after Jesus. They have set their shoes aside, and now we must pick up where they left off.

The second obstacle was ice and snow, which speaks of troubled times ahead. 

We had a long distance to walk where there was deep snow and thick ice on the roads. Looking down at our feet, I thought we would get frostbite because our footwear was not suitable for these weather conditions.

But to my surprise, our feet were fine. They were not frostbitten or even cold because we were shod with the shoes of peace. It looked as though our feet were in/on the feet of Jesus. We were in perfect stride with Him and marched together in perfect unity as one Body.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Isaiah 52:7

In the third part of the dream we were in a building that looked like a hospital corridor. 

The strange thing about it was the floors were layered with what looked like razor blades that would cut our feet. But in reality they were soft plastic objects that were easy to walk on. Everyone was barefoot and they walked across the objects with ease. 

The enemy will always try to deceive us; after all, he's the master of deception. He's great at luring us into his trap by presenting things that are not the way they appear to be. We must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. The Lord is sharpening the spiritual senses of the saints as they mature in spiritual wisdom and discernment. Then they'll better discern the works of the enemy and not fall prey to them.

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16

In the fourth part of the dream we were on a narrow path in a dark and dingy part of town.

Small, rickety houses were very close in proximity, and between them looked like stepping-stones on a path instead of a sidewalk. A man on the path ahead of me became frightened. Then he picked up a rotten potato in front of one of the houses. Looking at this potato ended his fear. There were a lot of big fat maggots crawling out it. You could see how infested the potato was, but the man was overjoyed. The dream ended.

Tomatoes grow above ground and represent God's love revealed, while potatoes grow underground and therefore represent God's love concealed. The fact that this potato was badly infested with maggots was an incredible breakthrough. And I believe it refers to evangelism.

Maggots are fly babies or larvae. When flies lay their eggs, they become maggots as they hatch. Old Beelzebub, the lord of the flies, has been hatching a lot of maggots since the beginning of time. Maggots are considered to be a worm in the first stage of their life; in the second stage they become a fly. And the cycle continues. Just like satan keeps his cycle of lies and deception aimed at us in order to confuse, deceive, distract, divide, and disillusion the saints.

An unsanctified mind is considered a worm. The enemy knows his time is short, so he must hurl lies and accusations. He's going to give it his best shot, and he's had lots of practice. 

But the one thing he can never conquer is love. 

He has no match for it and can't duplicate it. Because the army of God is marching in unity one with another and their mind is fixed on Him, they speak to the mountains and expect results. So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20 NKJ

One thing about maggots: they only eat dead flesh and rotten food. During the American Civil War and WWII, maggots were used to clean wounds. If a soldier had gangrene, maggots were placed on the infected area. They would eat away the dead flesh and the wound would heal quickly. 

The Body of Christ has been fed a lot of rotten food, but I believe she's going to get healed quickly as God's concealed love is revealed.

A Breakthrough Into Evangelism

Therefore, I feel the Lord was showing me a breakthrough into evangelism as the army of God goes forth into the harvest field redeeming the unsanctified mind (worm) and renewing it to the mind of Christ. 

Maggots are great fish bait and we are called to be fish cleaners.

We are in a time of great change. The Body of Christ has been crying out for change, and it is now upon us. 

It's time for us to transition into the army God has called us to be as we pick up our marching orders to proceed into the harvest field of time. 

We can avoid the enemy's obstacles by keeping our focus on Christ and walking in unity with Him and our fellow brethren. Know the Word and discern the plan of the enemy.

March fearlessly into the harvest field and redeem the lost. So, get ready for the harvest to begin!

Paul Keith Davis:

A New Season - The Church is Entering an Age of Militancy and Spiritual Confrontation

The Elijah List

With the passing of our friend Bob Jones and many other powerful saints, there seems to be a clear message of transition and transformation being heralded by the Spirit.

After Bob's passing the Lord highlighted to me Philippians 3:20-21 saying:

For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.

By supernatural grace many will be transformed from a humble state into conformity with the body of His glory through the exertion of His power. This is a divine impartation that I believe will mark many in this season and change them forever. Paul clearly had such an experience on the road to Damascus (see Acts 9). Jacob likewise was radically transformed at the river Jabbok (see Genesis 32).

It will be like a baptism of fire coming upon those who have been set apart and prepared to be mightily anointed in this juncture of Church history. 

The Lord clearly has a strategic blueprint that is continuing to display His perfect plan and purpose for this age. It is His road map to the Prince of Peace with signposts along the way to indicate progress.

  

Having Insight with Understanding

This crossroad is presently alerting us to a present release of spiritual virtue and Heavenly power for the vessels that have gone through a grooming and purging process in order to qualify them to carry this dimension of His authority. 

The Angel speaking with Daniel referenced this reality and its timing saying:

He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time." Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. Daniel 12:9-10

We are now broaching the completion of a spiritual stepping stone that ultimately leads to the Throne of Heaven. Many of the central figures used in the process of completing this important step in God's plan are receiving their Heavenly reward and crossing over into eternity. 

The Lord spoke it to us this way:

"These men and women have been carried to their reward so others can take the next step to go far beyond the valuable foundation established by these devoted leaders. As Elijah was a prophet in the wilderness, the Lord will now establish the Elisha's who will be prophets to the masses." 

These Godly saints going home have left us with a rich heritage and a responsibility to carry Heaven's torch to greater heights. No longer will the Lord's anointed ones be hidden in the wilderness. They will now be revealed on a broad scale to a number of people in a corporate way. 

A new generation of radical prophetic voices will now emerge who have encountered Heaven and carry a fresh expression from God's heart.

The prophet Elijah once prayed and observed a cloud the size of a man's hand on the horizon of Israel. So also can we now perceive a new cloud to bring the "reign" of Heaven on our spiritual horizon! 

The prophetic prayers offered to the Lord for the release of governmental leadership will now be answered in a more pronounced way!

Becoming Militant

The Church is entering an age of militancy and spiritual confrontation. 

The "end of days" is characterized with great conflict. The struggle between "light" and "darkness" will continually escalate. We are entering days that will introduce amplified revelations of God's Kingdom and Heaven's spiritual economy. The Bible plainly foretells this battle as violent and spiritually bloody.

The Kingdom of Heaven truly suffers violence and God's army must take it by force. As was prophesied, "The Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it." 

Our adversary will not willingly hand-over his influence in this earth without conflict. We may as well come to an understanding of this reality and accept it as a part of our generational calling.

Redemption was purchased in a most violent way. The shedding of the Lord's Blood was brutal and unattractive to the natural eye. Nonetheless, it was the greatest demonstration of divine love ever expressed. 

The innocent blood of Abel cried out from the ground with a prophetic voice of recompense. Jesus is the mediator of a new and better covenant; His Blood speaks better things than that of Abel (see Hebrews 12:24).

It is the destiny of this generation of overcoming saints to enter the "fullness of the stature of Christ." It will be there calling to "taste the good word of God and the powers of the age to come" (see Hebrews 6:5). 

We have only seen isolated forerunners who introduced this more excellent way. A new day is upon us! This divine Life is in the Blood of Jesus; our quest is for a more comprehensive apprehension of its power. 

Moving on to Maturity

The victory has already been won; it is now our place to appropriate it. This process is necessary for our spiritual development and maturation to rule and reign with Him as priests and kings. 

It would be quite simple for the Lord to eradicate every evil influence standing in our way. However, it is His desire to achieve it through us in a series of victorious battles that bring us to spiritual maturity. 

These will be days of "blood and fire." 

Greater appreciation of the redemptive virtue of God's Blood and fiery conflicts between good and evil will prevail in coming days. 

Something truly noteworthy has been imparted into the spiritual DNA of this generation who qualify as overcomers – they are jealous for God in a militant way. 

The Lord is a Warrior and those joined to Him share in His warlike attributes. 

His ministers are as a flame of fire and the angelic hosts assigned to co-labor with us are as winds that fuel the fire. This anointing will begin to address the "lukewarm" condition prevalent in much of the Western Church. 

Emerging Warriors

Great warriors will emerge in this hour. The Holy Spirit is preparing a body of people to expose spiritual gates and open everlasting doors that the King of Glory may come in. He will reveal Himself as the awesome man of war Who is strong and mighty in battle (Psalm 24:7-8). 

Substantial authority will be given to this warring band to sever the head from spiritual influences that have successfully stolen the inheritance of God's people.

According to Psalm 74:14, "You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, and gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness."

God intends to retrieve His precious gifts and the vessels to which they are entrusted. These days will see many who are leaders of wickedness become vessels of light and righteousness. This is true in both the natural and spiritual arena. God is able! 

Gleaning from the Past

For the past two decades I have had a keen interest in understanding modern revivals and the positive things that were done and also understanding failures and mistakes. 

Part of the mandate for this generation is to recapture and restore to the Church our lost heritage.

Many forerunners and pioneers obtained a testimony from God and blazed a spiritual trail that left an indelible mark upon their generation and understood this high place in God. 

Recently I was sharing some of the great things the Lord has shown prophetically that He will do in the last days through His mature sons and His spotless Bride. Someone then asked me, "How can these things be? They seem so tremendous!" When I inquired of the Lord the response came authoritatively saying, 

"Tell them there's power in the Blood. Tell them there will be the full appropriation of My Blood before the end comes."

Without the shedding of Blood there would be no forgiveness of sin or end-time plan of redemption (Hebrews 9:22). This empowerment will likewise be carried to the four corners of the earth. 

God is about to download, through His government, messages that teach and preach Calvary's Cross in profoundly powerful ways.

The Body of Christ has scarcely touched the great redemptive truths of the Cross; these will prepare the Bride for her union with the Bridegroom. The enthusiastic preaching of Christ's shed Blood will be recaptured in the Church through great revivalist in the order of John Wesley and George Whitefield. 

New Wave of Revivalist

I was just recently in New London, Connecticut and preached from the very pulpit from which George Whitefield declared Great Awakening in 1740. You could feel the richness of the heritage and God's desire to release a new wave of revivalist to our generation.

Likewise, pastors and teachers will discover notable anointing on messages that stress the importance of the Lord's sacrifice and the great price of redemption. The Lord is coming with the now "opened" book of redemption in His hand. We are called to "eat it" and prophesy great mysteries of the Kingdom to every nation, tongue and people (Revelation 10:8-10).

As in all wars, liberty and freedom are acquired at a cost. These realities will be imparted to those willing to consider the cost and pay it freely. 

We pay the price by allowing the pruning of the Holy Spirit so we may know Christ, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. There is power in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Chuck D. Pierce:

"This is a Season of Glory Change!" 

And "Dragons Are On the Move"

The Elijah List

Newsletter Dated Wednesday, April 2, 2014

Dear Glory Movers:

This past weekend was just incredible. The overall word was "This is a season of Glory Change!" Ask the Lord about the changes coming into your life. Can you receive a new move of His Glory?

Below is a prophetic word that came forth Sunday morning. Also notice the picture reflecting the "dragon storms" moving across the United States when this word was being given.

"A Glory Change I'm Bringing Into the Land!"

"This is not the same as you've seen in the past. This is not the same as what you've asked for in other seasons. 

This is a different Glory – a Glory change that I'm bringing into the land! You will shudder at the changes that are on the way in your land and in other lands and with other people!

"For this is a time that the blood that runs deep will now be sanctified. This is a time that My Spirit will go deeper than I have gone in the past. For this is a time of birthing what is new, but yet bringing forth that which is old, and treasures will erupt! Treasures will erupt! Treasures will erupt!

"I will bring forth what has not been seen, and I will cause your gifts to come alive in ways they've never come alive. You will feel the shuddering birthing pains within you, and from that you will bring to birth the change that is necessary for you to enter into this season.

"So know this: Dragons are on the move, and even the Great Dragon is now mounting up. Nations that will align are now aligning. So watch carefully and look deep into the circumstances around you. For these are days of great change.

"Watch the signs on your road for your road is now changing. New opportunities are coming. Watch now, for I will realign your path!"

Note: According to Airing News: This is a really unusual weather situation, according to the National Weather Service: Three low pressure systems in line over the entirety of North America. NASA Goddard describes them as "three atmospheric dragons."

Shifting Into A New Season - Mickey Freed

Mickey Freed:

Shifting Into A New Season

The Elijah List

Need a word of encouragement today? You are a child of the King. God will be merciful to you today and bless you, and cause His face to shine upon you (see Psalm 67:1).

Seasons of Hope

I want to encourage you to begin to know that you can step into a season of hope no matter what your circumstances. Even though we know the world system is corrupt, we also know that Christ has given us His all-sufficient grace and mercy. Even when we don't act like His son or daughter, He still loves us.

I'm not speaking of the "greasy grace" that allows a person to do anything the flesh desires and use grace as a license to continue to sin. 

I am talking about the abundance of grace that we need on a daily basis which empowers us to have hope. Proverbs 13:12 says "...hope deferred makes the heart sick..."Since the heart is the Scriptural brain center that contains and expresses our feelings, when we lose hope we often wind up in a season of hopelessness, feeling sick at heart, so to speak.

Speaking from experience, I do not believe that there is anything that can compare with hopelessness. To me it encompasses losing vision and experiencing gut-wrenching loneliness and despair. Maybe you can relate. Having no hope overshadows us with a foreboding sense of doom and gloom. One might even compare it with having a shadow of impending death following you everywhere you go.

Yes, it is a miserable state of depression. In my book, Regaining Vision (order through The Elijah List), I go into great detail to expose hope deferred and discuss the challenges that we experience when we lose vision.

Losing vision comes from losing purpose and hope.Uselessness sets in and, before we realize it, we isolate and exclude ourselves from the very people that we love. It is the lie of the enemy. He knows the power of two (1 + 1 = 10,000).

To step out of this desperate state, we must begin to cast down everything that exalts itself against what God says about us. In 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, Apostle Paul gives us some insight. He tells us even though we walk in the flesh, our warfare is not a carnal fight, but "...mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds..." This passage goes on to inform us that we are to cast down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity (my paraphrase and emphasis added).

It is the knowledge of God that tells us that we are the head and not the tail. It is the knowledgeof God that devised the plan to redeem the world that allows you and me to overcome by the Blood of the Lamb. It is the knowledge and wisdom of God that established an incredible plan by sacrificing His only begotten Son.

I know that most of us have heard this in Church. But from a hope-deferred viewpoint, the enemy knows that he is a defeated foe when coming against God's knowledge, so he challenges you and I instead. If he can mess with your thinking, he can mess with your life. If he can mess with our thinking, he can mess with our families and our finances, etc. 

This is why Apostle Paul tells us to give the enemy no place.

Getting The Point

I know that you are getting the point that the enemy has a plan to keep you cycling in hopelessness and despair. You are realizing, as have I, that the enemy attempts to establish a stronghold during times of hopelessness.

It is our responsibility to pull down his lies, bring negative thoughts that oppose God's truths into captivity, so that we can overcome seasons of hope deferred. 

Think on this a moment and you will realize that seasons of desperation, aloneness, hopelessness, and seclusion will truly steal our joy and rob us of all hope. That is not God's heart. 

(Photo via SXC by Cheryl Empey)

Saints, let me be direct for a moment. God often uses a season of hopelessness to bring us hope. God doesn't bring hopelessness, but He can use it. There is always a redemptive purpose with the Lord. 

Your assignment will always have an enemy.

In the Kingdom, the only ones rewarded are the overcomers. So when you begin to feel hopelessness, remember that the Word of God in you already has the ability to perform itself.So when hopelessness begins as a negative thought, cast down that imagination and give it no place. We must always remember that God not only gives us hope fortomorrow but strength for today.

Between Spiritual Seasons

An encouraging word can definitely be used when a person is in an unfamiliar season. These are seasons that usually spin us out of control. The only differences between our seasons are the ones that we are willing to overcome. 

We don't get to choose our seasons, we get to discover our seasons. It is during these times that we mature at a faster pace.

Just recently I was led by the Lord to write a book called Between Spiritual Seasons (order through The Elijah List). After pastoring and traveling for nearly thirty years now, it seemed that most people were either stuck in a season, coming out of a season, or going into a season. Either way, we are always in a season.

Getting caught "between seasons" can be very depressing and stressful. We all struggle with leaving our comfort zone that gives us peace, but crossing over into a new season can be stressful because we are not accustomed to the uncharted environment around us. It can even cause loss of vision, which the enemy uses to separate you from those you need the most.

New Seasons Can Bring Hopelessness

Shifting into new seasons can be quite challenging. Scripturally, we are told that our victory against the enemy, including hope deferred, was won at the Cross. The challenge is this: knowing, believing, and receiving that we have won (see Jeremiah 29:11). But know this, there is a tremendous pull from the old season that says, "Hey, come on back, you know how to survive in this season."

In my recent book, I give examples of different seasons you will encounter. Losing hope can come from the unknown as much as it can come from what is known. Transitioning from one season to the other can be done easily, but it's the attitude that will equal your altitude.

Warring Season Fatigue

When someone is prideful about being in a "warring season," they have been there too long. They're stuck! Believe me, it is not because they have conquered and overcome and have all the answers for others. It is only because offamiliarity. It has become a comfort zone. I know what some of you may be thinking. Comfort in a warring season?

When a person is stuck in a season too long, it becomes a stronghold. It can make them feel more "spiritual." The real truth is they don't know how to shift into a new season and move forward. Without their understanding the need to shift, they will then unknowingly move into spiritual performance. Shifting from one season to another is not as easy as it seems. It can be very challenging, stressful, and even frustrating. In my book Between Spiritual Seasons I have provided several solutions on how to shift from one season to another.

Be Encouraged Today!

Saints, please allow me to speak another word of encouragement to you. When you feel trapped, and it seems as if there is no way out, Christ is always there. This is where our faith must abound. Let us not forget that during any spiritual battle faith becomes our most treasured asset. Sometimes it is better to enter into a spiritual rest when warring and allow the Spirit of God to do your battling. I can just hear you now saying "What? Are you saying I should rest during a heated battle?"

Yes, that is exactly what I am suggesting. When we rest in Him, the Word says that our trust and hope is in the Lord and not in what we can do. Having faith in our Lord allows us to remain steady and not fluctuate into high highs and low lows. Remember always that we fight from the victory and not to the victory. Unfortunately, many Believers do not fully understand their authority in Christ and they do battle in the flesh and not in the Spirit.

It is very important to also remember that warring seasons must be monitored by your discernment and others around you. Why so? 

One of the principle reasons is we must not spend so much time battling that we can't praise God. 

If we cast our cares over on Him, He will always shift us on through to our next season so that our purpose and destiny in Christ can always advance and not become stagnant.

(Photo via SXC by Chris Wittwer)

In closing, I want to leave you with another positive thought, especially if you are in a time of active spiritual warfare. In John 10:10...Jesus tells us that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy; He says, "I have come that you may have life and life more abundantly" (my paraphrase). Without Christ, there can be no abundance. So be encouraged, dear ones, and fight the good fight of faith. Greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the world

.

Please allow me to pray for you:

Father, I thank You for Your hedge of protection around these precious readers. I ask that you comfort them and make them steadfast through their shifting of seasons. Lord, I thank You that You are always watching over them and guiding them even when they feel weary and exhausted. As they walk through their spiritual seasons of change, I pray that they will always draw closer to You and that they may mature in the things to come. My heart is for them to be closer to You as they are empowered from season to season. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Prophetic Word - March 11, 2014 from Jeremy Lopez

Prophetic Word 

March 11, 2014

Jeremy Lopez - Identity Network

First of all I want to tell you that you are such a blessing to the Body of Christ. I don’t have to even know you completely in the natural to know that so many people’s lives you are going to touch. You are such a light and a beacon to so many people and you are going to lead them with good direction and guidance and instruction. I really felt that in my spirit and I wanted to share that with you. It is good sometimes that we encourage and exhort one another but especially knowing that God shared that with us to tell someone else.

I want to thank you for being who you are in the Body of Christ. You are a big, big blessing.

Here is one thing the Lord spoke into my spirit for you. As I prayed earlier to ask the Lord what He wanted to say to you.

My son I want you to know today that there is going to be a new season approaching you, a new atmosphere, a new environment, one that is going to be different for you. It is not the fact there will be a time bomb effect exploding. It will be a little bit here, a little bit there. Line upon line, precept upon precept, where something is going to be radically changed within your life.

There is such a drive in you, a call in you to want to touch lives and do things for the Kingdom of God. Also remember that there is such a financial ability about to come upon you. It is almost as if there are shackles about to come off of you because you have been faithful to the Kingdom of God, even faithful in small things, you’ve been faithful in small areas.

This is a season where I will make you faithful and ruler over many things. There is a new anointing of authority coming upon you that is going to begin to give you the strength to let your yeses be yeses and your nos be nos.  To begin to speak the word of the Lord and speak the promises of God. And speak and give your word, and when you give your word people are going to look at you and say, “Now that’s a man who follows through with his word. Whatever he tells you he will do, you know he is going to follow through with it.”

Son, that is who you are. You are a man of wisdom and integrity. And in this season you are going to begin to see life, and light to begin to come out of you. The light is going to shine in dark places for people to be able to see and have hope. It is Christ in you the Hope of Glory. And as I work in you and through you I am opening up this season a treasure chest within your earthen vessel, within your belly and I am going to speak treasure to come out of you. I am going to speak wisdom and principles and impartations to come out of you.

But I also am going to release the rivers inside of your belly of creativity. You have got a vast array of creativity. I see light upon light, almost as if you look through a prism, when you shine a light through it you have different colors. That is how it is inside of your belly. It is a prism of many different colors waiting to be released and launched out. God says the light in Me is going to be the light in you. I am going to shine bright through you, and the brilliance and the radiance of My glory is going to shine through you.

I have called you to be such a leader, such a man of integrity in this hour. Be the man with the plan. Always find yourself ready in season and out of season. And I am going to begin to transform and change lives around you. But I also am going to start even with your own natural family. Even those around you that are blood kin to you. I am going to change those you haven’t even seen in a long time, that are in your family. You are going to begin to see transformation take place like never before.

In this season I have given you a strong anointing. You have an anointing to start something. It is time to rev your engine. It is time to put your key into the ignition and start it and crank it up. The car won’t go unless you crank it up. It is the season you have the keys, you hold the keys to begin to unlock, to loose and to turn on. You must understand that you first and foremost must first rev your own engine before you can rev the engines in lives of other people. You must get yourself in the place to jump start yourself. Be motivated and encouraged in My strength and My glory and My kingdom to where everything you do in your life will begin to be with top quality.

This is a season for you to understand that you are going to begin to touch. Here is what the Lord began to put in my spirit – I heard the name Tom or Thomas. This is going to be in the next year to two years, you are going to come across a Tom, or a Tommy or a Thomas – that is how the Lord put it to me, because he actually goes by three different names to different people in his life. You are going to run across a Tom, Tommy or Thomas, and when you do you, remember this word, for I am going to give you a word of prophecy for him, in the sense of a word of encouragement, a word that is going to begin to speak into his life and it will begin to help transform his life.

Get ready son for I see different places with your face on it. I am going to cause your face to be made known. In fact I will confirm it with you, that you are going to be in a conversation within the next six to 12 months, and when you are, this person to whom you are talking to will say, “Hey, you know what, I totally get it. I am very good with faces and not names. That is actually going to be a confirmation to let you know that your face is going to be made known among people that you talk to everyday. Everyday people you come across will remember your face. And people will say, “You must have a twin, because your face looks so familiar to me.”

These are going to be signs to you to let you know that I am working in you and through you and that people will remember your face. As they remember your face they are also going to remember how you touched their lives, whether it is in passing conversation, whether it is a joke, whether it is laughing, or whatever you give to them is going to be part of My kingdom being stretched in you to begin to plow the ground of their heart, to begin to let them know there is hope and a bright future for them as well says the Lord.

Wow.
