Prophetic Word: 'I Am About to Do a 7-Day Turnaround'

 3/27/2017 JOE JOE DAWSON   charisma magazine

Recently, the Lord spoke a word to my heart, so powerful and clear. I can only remember a handful of times in my life that I have even heard the Lord this plainly. I was about to walk into the prayer room at our church, I was several feet away from the prayer room door and I heard the Lord say, "Tell my people that I am about to do a seven-day turnaround". With huge excitement in my heart, I ran into the prayer room as the Lord continued speaking to me.

He immediately reminded me of the night before. The previous night, I did my final rounds at the house, made sure my wife and children were asleep and then I got into bed. I laid there for about one minute and the Lord spoke to me, "Get up, I would like to talk to you." So I got up, went into our prayer room at the house, and the Lord spoke this to me "Every word I have spoken to you in the private place will come to pass." Then I began to pray into that word. I felt deeply impressed to tell people to remember every prophetic word that bore witness with their spirit when it was given to them. Now is the time to look back at all of their old prayer journals.

Then the next day, I received the seven-day turnaround word. The Lord was prompting me to tell people that prophetic acceleration is coming, a seven-day turnaround, where God will suddenly fulfill the promises in the prophetic words that people have been hanging onto and praying into for many years. The Lord is getting His people ready for a mighty move of His Spirit. Get ready for your seven-day turnaround!

I was reminded of many of the prophetic words God has spoken to me. The first one I remembered was when God told me about the key to breakthrough is fasting. So many of God's people do not understand the true power that is released while fasting. Immediately, I thought, What if people fasted and prayed over the next seven days for their turnaround?

Then I was reminded about a prophetic vision I had just recently. In the vision, I saw a huge tidal wave crashing over the people of God. As I saw this tidal wave in the Spirit, I knew that it was made up all of the prayers, promises and prophetic words from past seasons. The Lord spoke clearly to me that every promise and every prophetic word that has been given in past seasons, will come to pass in this next season. This seven-day turnaround is the fulfillment of that vision. Expect to be overtaken by the Spirit of God fulfilling His promises to you. Your 7-day turnaround is coming.

As I continue to pray I felt the Lord say, "Do not allow your circumstances, conditions or situations to affect your spirit. Stay focused on what My Spirit is saying and deny every soulish or fleshly thought." Be vigilant during these next seven days, pay no attention to your critics because any attack the devil can scheme up, He will throw your way. This is a season that you will have to be strong and prepared for warfare. Remember Ephesians 6:11, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." These next seven days, you will have to stand against the enemy's schemes, tricks, strategies and attempts to get you off course.

The Lord told me to declare that "The cave, wilderness and valley seasons are coming to an end." So many people are so close to giving up on their God-given dream, purpose, calling and destiny. Many people are so close to having their God-given breakthrough at any moment. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, "Many of My children are barely hanging on. Many are barely hanging on for their ministry, business, marriage and prodigal sons and daughters." Because of the delay in their breakthrough, many people's emotions are out of alignment, and their finances are not prioritized correctly.

The presence of the Spirit of God remained strong during this encounter. The Spirit prompted me to urge people to properly align with all the prophetic words and promises that God has spoken to them. The Lord prompted me to tell people in this season do not give in to the soulish realm or to your thoughts and emotions. Instead, stay focused on the Spirit of God and be completely Spirit-led during the next seven days. Stay strong and stay the course with the Lord. Contend, fast and pray over the next seven days. Let faith arise and believe God for the seven-day turnaround!

The Wave of Transition by Amy Meyer IDENTITY NETWORK

The Wave of Transition by Amy Meyer

IDENTITY NETWORK

 

The hardest time in a transition is often in between the sets of waves.  God has been pulling people out of the prior waves that they've been used to riding.  Meaning, many of His people have been feeling the pull out of the previous movements, traditions, religious systems, revelations and doctrines of the past; anything that doesn't match where God is heading.  

Some have really struggled to let go! Why? Could it be that it has become too familiar, comfortable, manageable and no longer necessary to rely on God as much? "Houston, we have a problem!" It's so easy to become stagnant in our walk with God and limit the potential growth He desires in us. Papa God is too good of a Father to allow us to stay in this place for too long. So, if your receptors are still sensitive enough to hear and follow His gentle nudges, continue the adventure and discovery with Him. 

 

How do you know if this is beginning to take place?  You'll feel an unrest in your spirit along with the current state you're in.  Pay attention and don't ignore the pull.

 

What's the reason for this pull?  Could it be that God is desiring to set you up?  The pull will eventually cause you to "pop up" on top of an even greater wave that He has in mind for you, if you'll be willing to trust and follow him into the unknown.

 

Pulling Away from the Old

 

In the beginning, it can often be scary when the under current and force of the building wave begins pulling you under and out to sea. The water is stirred up and you can't see clearly with your natural eye.

 

This is what it may feel like in your spirit and believe it or not, the Lord is causing this pull to happen in you.  He is pulling you away from the old, and taking you under the water into the unknown for a time of being unseen and unheard, for a "deeper depth" experience with Him.  You will often feel like you are going backwards, but in reality you're being propelled forward into a greater spiritual growth. The tendency is to strive in a forward motion much like you've always done, but soon you realize that you're no match for the current of the Lords strength.

 

This is not the enemy doing this! I repeat, this is not the enemy! God is asking you to let go of what you "thought" was of Him.  Humble yourself and flow in the direction the Holy Spirit is drawing you into. God is asking you to not judge things by your natural eyesight.  God is doing something bigger than you can see right now.  Yep, He's about to blow your paradigm and expand your lung capacity! What's the purpose of this? He is preparing to set you up to ride on top of the next big move of His Spirit, but you have to let go of the old to receive the new.  God is going to lift you up on the top of this wave with greater speed, accuracy, and impact, than the one you were previously on.

 

Let go and receive a greater commission!  See with the eyes of your spirit man, not the eyes of your flesh.  It's time to graduate and go to the next level!  It's time to put on the new wine skins fully and receive the infilling of new strength, vigor, and faith. God is getting ready to set you up to ride the pipeline of your lifetime!

 

What's the Purpose of the Pulling?

 

So, let's talk a little bit more about the purpose and experience of this "pulling away." The purpose of it will cause you to enter into the process of refining where the end result will create in you a complete dying to all self-effort, pride, and ego.  You'll learn to do the dead man's float under water, where you've completely let go and are at rest in the Lords hands, so He can freely move you any direction He desires.  This is a great weapon against the enemy as well!  Why? Because you're not kicking and screaming anymore. Christ is able to inhabit you and make you invisible to the enemy!  The Lord will resurrect you so to speak when the process is complete, in His way and in His time.

 

This is a metamorphosis type of training.  If you're willing to say yes to this process of completely letting go you'll learn to follow the Holy Spirit with every ebb and flow, with your natural eyes closed, that always helps! The benefits of this new training you're gaining will be outstandingly wonderful!!!

 

As John and I were going through this process we had to learn to be content in the hidden place, "lost" in the bottom of an ocean so to speak for a while, where no one knew us or spoke our language.  We couldn't even set time limits on when we would emerge, even though we tried.  It was no longer up to us, only God could do this.  It brought us to a place of completely surrendering to His will for our lives and not our own. This of course came after we wore ourselves out trying to figure it all out with our own limited knowledge, reason, logic and strength. I mean, like you can really figure out what God's really up to, eh??!!  Trying to help him doesn't work either!! How prideful we get sometimes when really He's just trying to surprise us!

 

In the heat of this process the list of demanding questions instantly surfaces.  Questions like, "What's going on?!", "What did we do wrong?!", "Why is this happening?!" "Why can't we control this?!" and "GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!" You don't have any stable, solid footing, which of course is meant to get you to completely depend on Him.  It's causing you to learn and gain the new footing of walking by faith, in the Spirit.  The more you panic, the more you can't see because you just keep stirring up debris around you. The old things you use to do just aren't working! You finally become so frustrated and worn out to where all that remains left is the choice to let go.  The choice to flow with what He is doing, leaving everything you have been familiar with behind.

 

Bingo! That's exactly where he wants you! Now that you are completely pliable and surrendered to His lead, He can orchestrate things to line you right up to fulfill your highest calling in Him! You are now solely dependent on Him, which also means you will be fully supplied with His strength and not your own.  All Glory will go to Him. You are now no longer putting God in all your religious boxes with your time frames, expectations and demands. You no longer have the prideful ego you once had, even though you couldn't see it. You have let go, dead to the old man and his ways, and have truly learned to flow as one with your heavenly Father in a state of trust and rest; versus the fear based state of self-reliance, striving and survival.

 

Right on Target

 

Living from the place God has now brought you to has enabled you to now follow the footsteps of your big brother Jesus as He declares, "I only say what I hear my Father say and do what I see My Father do. I do not judge on my own."

 

Next, I heard Him say, "You are right on target and you will hit land shortly."

 

This is not just a word for me but a word for all that have been going through the same process. What I saw next was a picture of The Lord bringing us up through this amazingly crystal-clear wave! Drawing us up to the top of it, as it was moving forward. I could see the beautiful shoreline through the water from the wave as He was drawing us up. It was so close and drawing closer by the seconds, till we hit land!  This was completed with no effort on our part, but out of complete submission to Him. With that complete submission we arrived at our mission.

 

Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4

 

Many blessings to you, on the game changing ride of your life with Him! He is soooo good and faithful!!

Walking Through the Fire of Change by Michelle Holderman - Identity Network

Walking Through the Fire of Change by Michelle Holderman

Identity Network

 

God raises up His agents of change through the fire. They must walk through the fire first before they can come out to help lead others through. And when it's time, God will bring them to the forefront to do what He has called, chosen, and/or commissioned them to do.

 

This is what's happening now on many levels.

 

The more intimately I come to know Him, the more I come to see and understand His ways are truly nothing like our own. They are much, much higher. This is why He often calls us to spiritually come up higher because it helps us to see and understand things from His perspective.

 

I say that because what He is doing won't necessarily look like what we think or expect. It will require us to come up higher in order to fully grasp.

 

Agents of Change

 

Many of these agents of change that are being raised up for this time will challenge the status quo everywhere they go because they know the very heartbeat of God. Their finger is not on the pulse of the culture. Rather their finger is on the pulse of the Lord.

 

And don't be surprised by who they are either. Just know the Father has chosen them, and He has every right to do so according to His will and good pleasure.

We are in a time where we must truly lay aside our own opinions and desires, and align ourselves with Him, His heart, and His purposes.

 

There will be much transitioning taking place. Some of it will look like turmoil, but in the midst of this, God is actually redefining the soil from which we grow and function. New things are going to spring up as a result.

 

Change is surely coming, and most importantly; this is change the Father is orchestrating. Despite what it might look like in the natural, there are a lot of good things that lie ahead. The Lord is going to surprise many of us. The key is to set our eyes on Him and what He is doing."

 

Directing Change

 

I hear the Spirit of God saying, "I AM directing them. I AM directing these God-ordained agents of change. I AM sending them forth. I will not allow the smoke to clear without accomplishing the purposes of My heart.  There are those who are crying out to Me, saying, 'Is there a way out?! Is there a way out of this, Oh Lord? A way out for me; a way out for my family; a way out for my nation?'"

 

And the Lord says, "I have heard those cries. I've heard them. Now, look unto Me and trust what I AM doing; for I know the end from the beginning. And I AM doing a new thing that will cause great change to come and take place.  Even now, a transitioning is underway. It is a transitioning from out of the old way and into the new way. It is a way I have chosen. I, alone, AM the answer for this change, and I will use those I have so decided to bring the purposes of My heart about in the way I desire.

 

"There are greater days ahead. And while there will always be some form of opposition from the enemy, I want to assure you; he does not have the upper hand. I do. So set yourselves in alignment with the purpose of My heart, for it is My purpose that is causing this great change to be produced.

 

"As My Son said, do not let your hearts be troubled. Don't let them be filled with fear and anxiety. But trust in God. Believe in Me. These are truly words to live by.  I AM truth. I AM justice. I AM light. I AM love. And I AM serving notice to My House - get yourselves ready; for I AM coming. And I'm not coming just to visit; I AM coming to stay. I AM coming to abide with you in a way I never have before.

Selah.

 

"So as you walk through the fire of change, know that I AM purifying you. Know that I AM bringing you into the land of purpose and vision that your very souls are longing for. And you must embody this purpose and this vision; for it is the purpose and the vision of the Lord your God. It is the purpose and the vision of the Kingdom.

 

Kingdom Purpose and Vision

 

"I AM calling you to bring My Kingdom purpose and My Kingdom vision into the earth. And not only is this the way out many are crying out to Me for, but this is divinely etched in who you are. And you are My true sons and My true daughters. You are carrying My very essence within you.

 

"Do not disrupt the sound of My change; for I AM the sound that is bringing this about. I AM evicting deception, nonsense, and encumbrance.  I AM dismantling contention, bitterness, and strife.  I AM removing victimization, haughtiness, and darkness.  I AM.  I AM promoting some and I AM bringing down others; for it is time.

 

"So do not be moved by what you see in the natural. My divine purpose is undergirding this time of great change. It will continue to get heated but do not be drawn into the rhetoric or the fray. Instead, let My hand guide you as you walk in My way.

 

"My change always incites upheaval. So it has in times past and so it is now. Nevertheless, My purpose is prevailing.

 

"I will perform My Word on behalf of those who love Me and are the called according to My purpose. For have I not told you that I will work all these things together for your good? Did I not say that My Word will not return void to Me, but will succeed in what I sent it to do?

 

Called to Be Ready

 

"This time requires you to ready yourselves for I AM calling. I AM calling you to be ready for this great, unimaginable change that lies before you. It will be filled with both goodness and hardship but the real matter at hand is that My purpose will prevail in it.

 

"As I expose deeper truths, as I reveal greater understanding, you will feel the heat building but you will not be burned by it. For My fire is a holy fire. My fire is a pure fire. My fire is a worthy fire. And My fire will burn the dross away that is holding you back. My fire will be the light which bears witness with you.

 

"For My fire cannot be contained as you know and understand containment. Rather My fire will rage with My purpose. And this is the sound you are going to hear - the sound of My fire burning.

 

"It will bring freedom to those who are in captivity; it will enlighten those who are in need of understanding; it will yield a purification and unifying of the saints; it will also drown out the voices of darkness that are trying to pervade many of My people. For this fire holds a holy roar of victory within it. And all who know Me will know this is My sound and will not be afraid of it.

 

"Do not misunderstand My words. For when My fire rages or burns strongly with My purpose, people will run to it. They will desire to immerse themselves in My fire.

 

"Those who do not know Me will want to know and understand how it is this fire can consume death yet also give life. They will want to know, who is this God that burns a fire so hot and so pure but does not destroy me? How can His fire burn with such immense love and light? How, they will ask, is this possible? 

 

"Then you, My sons and daughters, will tell them. You will answer for Me. And the answer you will give is Christ and Christ crucified. Jesus, Yeshua, will be glorified as you lift Him up and speak the truth in love to those who are far off. For My Son has already removed the barrier of separation.

 

"He is your peace. He is your righteousness. He is your hope. And He is the source of life and light with which the fire you inquire of burns. He will satisfy your hungry and thirsty souls. Only He can. Receive Him.  This is My sound that will proceed out of your mouths.

 

I Will Finish

 

"Be ready, for this is a time unlike any other. The Gospel will spread like a wildfire, unable to be contained or extinguished. I will pour Myself out as I've never done before. I will ignite many with a fresh spark of My fire. In this, new campfires will be established to give My people fresh sparks of My love, truth, and grace. And it will be extraordinary.

 

"Guard your hearts, beloved; not from fellowship with each other, but from the fruits of the flesh. Feed your spirits. Keep yourselves in My perfect will and peace, and do not allow another to lead you off course.  I will finish what I started. And it will be good!"

 

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 (English Standard Version)

 

Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable Kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29 (Berean Study Bible)

Seasons of Shifts by Jennifer Stanley - Identity Network

Seasons of Shifts by Jennifer Stanley

Identity Network

 

For about a week I've been having prophetic dreams, visions, and receiving word downloads. At first, I thought all that I was receiving was for me and my household until God revealed to me that it was for the body of Christ. The body of Christ has entered a place of weariness, and it would appear that there is no hope for restoration, but there is. In fact, many are experiencing a time of testing or realignment, and because more seems to be working against you, your adversary would have you to believe that you are losing the battle. Sometimes as believers, we have to step back and evaluate who's really running the show.

 

Every test or trial that you experience is not your adversary.

 

Over the course of about two years, my husband and I experienced life-changing events that I would never envision happening. Mentally, I was not prepared for what hit us and spiritual I didn't understand why God was allowing all this to happen.  Things were happening so fast, I barely had time to breathe before something else would occur. I started questioning God because I was an Intercessor and I taught others how to pray, now when I needed God most I felt as if he had abandoned me. You can imagine my confusion because God has always shown me things or prompted my spirit about things to come, I'd pray, and the issue would be taken care of. During this time, God began to show me signs, but I figured if I prayed hard enough I would prevent what I saw from happening, but I was wrong. There are some things we can pray away, but then there are certain things we must go through. This was one of the times we would have to endure what the Lord wanted us to go through.

 

Training For Reigning

 

Whenever God takes you through a time of testing, He quiets any other voice of influence around you. After almost five years attending the ministry, where my husband and I met, the Lord told us it was time to leave. This was all around the same time we were experiencing a lot of transitions in our lives. We stepped out in faith knowing we'd have to battle whatever hit us together. We did, but individually we were both hurting and seeking an answer from the Lord. When the Lord did answer, He made it clear, that we had entered a season of training. We were in Training for Reigning. Every prophecy we received from that point on was identical to the last one we'd heard. God was training us for His end time Army!

 

Predestined for Purpose

 

"Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Romans 8:30 KJV

 

My husband and I felt as if God sat us in the middle of the wilderness and said "live." How?  We thought. The desert is a dry and lonely place and many died in the desert. How will we eat, where will we obtain water? Little did we know, God would teach us how to survive in this wilderness.  God had already predestined us for this, we learned that our wilderness experience did not come to kill us, but it would force us to grow!

 

In the wildernesses, we learned key things.

 

1.  How to eat in the Spirit

 

"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4 KJV

 

We knew the word, but to actually allow the word to work through us and become our very nourishment, we had somehow forgotten just how powerful and fulfilling it was. As believers, we have to be careful not to allow man words to become more influential than the word of God.

 

2.  Drink from the Living Water

 

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." John 7:37-38 KJV We incurred a thirst for more of Holy Spirit.  The water we received was not from a man-made faucet, but the river of living water. We learned to quench our thirst by consuming more of Holy Spirit.

 

3.  We had to walk in the Supernatural

 

We couldn't go by our natural instincts or what it looked like, we had to see in the spirit.

 

4.  We had to activate Now Faith

 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrew 11:1

 

We had to possess what we needed before it manifested before us. We believed God until everything inside of us was in agreement with what we needed God to do.

 

5. We had to see God greater than our wilderness.

 

"For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'" Acts 17:28 Once we gain the concept that God had predestined us to go through this wilderness our disposition changed.

 

Realignment

 

We had gotten distracted by all the pressure that came our way. At the time we didn't know that the pressure was bringing things to a head. God was realigning us and we thought it was the adversary, but God chastised those He loves. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Hebrews 12:6

 

Think it not Strange

 

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. 1 Peter 4:12 These trials were designed for our training to reign. God knew what to allow in our path in order to equip us for the journey ahead, regardless of how it looked or what we thought, He had a plan.

 

More Than a Conquer

 

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Romans 8:31, 37 KJV

 

This morning, I heard the Lord say "More Than a Conquer."  I just knew God was going somewhere with this because yesterday morning, I heard the Lord speak while I was sleeping, "Seasons of Shifts" and it was followed by "Are you ready?" It wasn't until this morning I got the revelation.

 

Seasons of Shifts

 

Some of you that are reading this have been in a wilderness, and instead of allowing your wilderness to determine your outcome, you conquered your wilderness. You allowed your wilderness to become your training ground and because of this, you will begin to experience Seasons of Shifts. Shifts that will take you into "Quantum Leaps." What would have taken you years to reach certain access points, the Lord said He is speeding up time.

 

Many of you have been in a long chronological time period, but God is about to move you into your kairos now season. In order to move and embrace the shifts effectively. You must remain in an open place with God:

 

1.  Your spirit must be free from clutter.

 

2.  Remain In tune with Holy Spirit.

 

3.  Don't give room to agitation, irritation, anxiety from being anxious.

 

4.  Remember God has already promised this would be a "Season of Shifts" so refuse to go ahead of God.

 

Your ability to hear God's voice is vital in these seasons. Just as you were trained to follow his voice in the wilderness, you will have to follow it the same in these Seasons of Shifts. You don't want to get stuck in a season you were supposed to shift in. Keep Moving Forward!

Being barely 60 myself, I really appreciated this word from my good friend, Patricia King. What I really appreciate about Patricia's prophetic insight and ministry is that she ministers to the masses...and ALL are included!

This is a very short word, yet it is ever so powerful...and if you are a senior this is EXACTLY the word you needed to hear from Patricia. For those who are a part of the more "experienced" generation, get excited...for God is far from being done with you yet!


Please forward this word to your friends! Encourage them to subscribe to the Elijah List right here: http://elijahlist.com/subscribe.

"Prophetic Word Through Patricia King: Seniors Arise!"by Patricia King, Maricopa, AZ

Prophetic Word for Seniors:

Are you 60 years of age or older? If so, this word is for you! I am launching Seniors on the Frontlines this July, and as I was seeking the heart of God for this event, I received this prophetic word for the Senior Generation. It is awesome!

I see a company of radical Believers in their 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond arising in these days.This generation will experience personal revival that will re-ignite their passion and their purpose. They are full of wisdom, zeal, and they carry dreams yet to be fulfilled. Their latter glory will be greater than the former.

I see them walking with the younger generations and empowering them with encouragement.

They are gathering together and redefining the term "senior". They will be a sought after generation. They will be honored and respected by the younger generation. Many will rise into places of predominance and leadership. They will produce more fruit in their latter days with less effort.

Financial increase and sudden provisional surprises will come to them. Favor will rest upon this generation and a wave of healing, health, and rejuvenation will visit them. Their "latter glory" will be greater than the former and they will be filled with joy that overflows!

"You're A Messenger of Courage: For Such A Time As This" by Joey LeTourneau - The Elijah List

"You're A Messenger of Courage: For Such A Time As This"

Joey LeTourneau, Redding, CA 

The Elijah List

"And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, 'The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!'" Judges 6:12

"Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" Luke 1:28

As happened with Gideon and Mary in these two instances, my heart has been pulled for the courage rising up within God's children to step into their purpose and calling. It's not just any courage, but a kairos kind of courage that empowers us to leap beyond the hope of our calling and into its appointed time of action and fruitfulness.

It's a crossing over of the mind, and an empowerment of the heart to fully believe, fully receive, and then to seize the purposes and promises we've prayed and waited for as the moment arises.

The last few weeks I've found myself sharing about a quote I hadn't recalled in a long time, from a movie called "We Bought A Zoo." I believe the words are very relevant to us in this time as we learn to seize what God has placed before us:

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it." (We Bought A Zoo)

I believe this is a now word for you and me. We are being presented "suddenly" moments, for such a time as this, to step into a breakthrough that is bigger than our hope can comprehend. 

These might be moments that look like immense risk or require vulnerability, but we have to seize that incoming wave at the opportune time with fresh courage. (Photo via Wikipedia)

We must realize the breakthrough starts within us – so it can be brought to life all around us – by stepping outside our comfort zone and recognizing the new thing that He is doing now.

Breaking Out of Our Comfort Zone

"I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?" Isaiah 43:19

Often, the hardest thing about receiving something new for us is that it almost always requires something new of us. Those new breaker waves we pray and believe for rarely flow through our familiar comfort zone. They don't stay within our boundaries or control, rather, they are the move of His Spirit calling us to jump outside our self-imposed box and ride the wave of a lifetime.

The above verse from Isaiah is quoted frequently, even hung as a banner to declare the new thing God is ready to do. But how often do we leave off that last part? How often do we turn a deaf ear to the question the Spirit asks us each day when He inquires, "Shall you not know it?"

Will we know the new thing God is doing in, through and around us? Will we recognize His fresh move, beyond our insecurities, critiques or judgments? Will we be able to embrace the very thing we've been praying for when it passes by just outside familiar waters? 

If we will, it will take courage.

It will require us to be lion-hearted, found among those through the ages who have – like Gideon – lived a courage that is not so much about a valiant charge into battle but about a radical step of obedience that joins God in what He is now doing.

Your Messenger of Courage

The Lord doesn't just send us into such a leap out onto the waters without equipping us. 

Like with Gideon and Mary, there are different times throughout Scripture where we see the Lord send a messenger to one of His chosen ones to call them over the chasm that lies between the promises they hope for and the purpose they are created to live. 

God goes all in to help us be who He has created us to be, and to prove it, He sends us messengers of courage to strengthen our leap.

"Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree...Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress...And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, 'The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!'" Judges 6:11-12

"Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 'Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!'" Luke 1:26-28

Gideon was addressed as "mighty man of valor." Mary as "highly favored one." It is not coincidence that God called them by such terms not after they completed their purpose, but before. This is how they were addressed from the outset; then God called them to step into the appointed time of their destiny.

You have a Messenger of Courage within you, a Helper, the Spirit of Truth, and He is calling to you like He did Gideon and Mary, already addressing you as beloved and a victor, not just hopeful of such. 

He wants to visit you, meet you, and call to the courage He already sees within you. He wants you to see yourself as He does, and He is imparting to you the courage necessary to leap out and seize the moment that is only just beyond your reach.

The Lord has aligned timing. He has aligned circumstances. He is calling you by a powerful name like "Mighty" or "Favored" to remind you who you are in Him, and that He is with you. For when you know who you are, you'll also know what you are supposed to do.

He calls you by your identity before you discover your victory. So, what is your messenger of courage saying over you?

"Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord." Luke 1:45

"Connecting the Dots of Your Purpose" - Joey LeTourneau

"Connecting the Dots of Your Purpose"

Joey LeTourneau, Redding, CA

The Elijah List

"I know the plans I have for you..." Jeremiah 29:11

Growing up, for my 16th birthday, my parents asked if they could give me a "Father's Blessing" for my birthday. I was reluctant while imagining the other things a 16th birthday could bring, but I ended up receiving a gift that has altered my life, family and purpose forever.

One particular line my dad spoke over me really stands out: "I hope you never believe that just because you're not like me in every area of life that I think you're a lesser person; that's a common belief among sons of type-A dads. In fact, I believe the very best hope for the LeTourneau name lies in the very ways that you are different from me."

What a revolutionary statement! As people, and Christians, we can struggle not to judge others or expect them to conform to our ways. We often condemn differences that are actually a big part of God's creative design. We often want people to recognize our way of doing things as the "right way."

But here, in a father-son relationship where such conforming expectations can often be at the greatest heights, my dad was actually blessing my differences, recognizing—and helping me recognize—that it was those very differences in my life that were not like him that would probably make the biggest difference in the world. I tend to think our Heavenly Father sees much the same way. (Photo via flickr)

"There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all." 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

You are going to reach people that I will never reach. You have gifts I can't dream of. You are called to different places, through different ways that I am not. And that's a beautiful thing! 

But those intentional differences crafted straight from the Father's heart are also why we often struggle to live out our purpose—because it's different than the person on our right, or our left. We too often compare and end up hiding the very light that is supposed to rise up and shine from within us!

Identifiers to Help "Connect the Dots"

Here is a stepping-stone like path of identifiers that can help you recognize different, important parts of your life and how they may fit with other pieces God has given you. 

These areas of our lives can look like a big, scattered "connect the dots" puzzle as we try and decide which one to pursue. But start to connect the dots and you just might see the picture He is trying to show the world through you! (Photo via pixabay)

Dream: What do you want to give the world, in a big picture sense? Do you want to give hope? Second chances? Education? Resources? What about new ideas and inventions?

Compassion: Who or what does your heart naturally break for? It might be a cause or subject that always wrenches your heart when you see it in a movie or story. It might be something you or someone close to you has passed through. Is your compassion for orphans or widows? The poor or oppressed? Perhaps broken families, or maybe for those impacted by slavery/trafficking? Your heart has probably already been talking with God about your compassion fairly frequently, we just have to slow down to recognize and identify that it just might be Him speaking to us.

Passion: What subjects do you enjoy? What talents or gifts has God given you? Is it art or music? Sports? Media or technology? Maybe business, government or education? When you combine your compassion with your passion, you can begin to see a new way you might be able to reach out to those you have compassion for.

Purpose: How are you going to make an impact? Will you open a facility or start a business? You could teach, coach, or mentor others in a formal or informal way. Might you write or speak, or maybe travel to encourage or deliver resources? You might simply become a professional in your field. And there are so many other ways.

Nations: This part is pretty self-explanatory. Where? What nation, community, culture or neighborhood grabs your heart? Is it your nation/neighborhood? Is it an Asian nation or an African nation? Perhaps it is a European nation or somewhere else. There are so many possibilities and yours is important.

So imagine you start to connect those dots: What if you wanted to give New ideas and inventions to those who are poor, using your passion for business to open a facility in an urban area. Or, what if you wanted to give hope to victims of trafficking in an Asian nation using art as a method of reviving their spirits. (Photo via pixabay)

First Steps

The truth is we aren't just called to dream big dreams; we must have the courage to persevere and live them out. This all starts with taking a first step into what may start out as unknown territory.

Our impact rarely comes from trying to live out some great thing, or build a great ministry. I believe it starts in a very simple way when we stop looking at what we do not have in our hands, and start to look at the pieces of His heart that He has put into ours. 

Great faith lived out is often little more than great obedience in the presence of difficulty, opposition or the unknown. Our obedience starts simply by taking those first steps with Him into the "Yes."

Our first steps might be to write out a goal or plan. Maybe start to research more about your compassion. You could even take a vision trip to visit the people or place you are called to—not necessarily to do anything yet—just to ask the Lord what He is doing and how He is calling you to join Him. (Photo via flickr)

Each dot in your life might not bring much clarity on its own, but together they represent something awesome! Whether it's a nation you are drawn to or a compassion that makes your heart well up with hurt and hope at the very same time. 

To truly live your purpose don't simply look for the road that goes towards one of these dots as a destination in your life, but get childlike before God and play a good ol' fashion game of connect the dots with your Father. See the picture He has already painted within you, the picture He is trying to reveal through you to the world!

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1
