Prophetic Word: Prophetic Clarity Will Carry You Through This Season

ANA WERNER  CHARISMA NEWS
Clarity of Focus Will Carry You Through
We can look at Nehemiah in the Bible as a groundbreaker. In his time, he was a person whom the Lord placed strategically to bring reformation and restoration as well as to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. What Nehemiah carried should be an eye-opener to us prophetic ones, as we are entering into a season of rebuilding, reassignment and swift change. Our prophetic ears and eyes should shift towards Nehemiah as an example and illustration of how we can navigate this season in which we live. We are: contending and begging the Lord for the rebuilding, asking for favor to carry out our assignment and overcoming immense discouragement. Nehemiah kept a clear focus on the goal of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, even in the face of great adversity.
Your Prophetic Promises Have an Adversary
Once Nehemiah and his cohort had successfully rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem, the enemies of the Israelites rose up. It's a prophetic picture of opposition that we cannot overlook. As we cross the threshold of the prophetic promises God has placed over our lives in this season, often that advancement will irritate the enemy and cause him to try and strike back. How do we push through the enemy's traps and assaults, to walk fully into our promise from God?  
Clarity of Focus
Setting a perfect trap to entice Nehemiah and pull him away from finishing the reconstruction, the Israelites' enemies rose up intending to harm him. "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono," they said to Nehemiah. (Neh. 6:2, NASB). Receiving prophetic revelation from the Lord–"they are planning to harm me" (Neh. 6:2)—Nehemiah sends a message back to them. "I am doing a great work and cannot come down" (Neh. 6:3). I believe this is a key mindset for us in this hour!  Nehemiah tuned into what God was saying, and tuned out the adversarial voices.
Clear Focus Will Carry You Through the Testing
Just recently, Holy Spirit woke me up at 4:30 in the morning to speak to me. I love Holy Spirit wake up calls! Through a profound encounter with the Lord, I heard the phrase, "Clarity of focus will carry you in this season."
The following questions were then presented to me by the Lord. "Who are you listening to right now? Is My voice the loudest?" I heard Him ask.
Let us not forget that as Jesus was just baptized and received the blessing and public honor from His Father, He was then led into the desert for a season of testing. Before He would begin to minister, deliver His first sermon and perform His first miracle, there was a time of testing from the enemy.
The devil met Him there in the desert and tempted Him when Jesus was weak from fasting. In our weakened state, the enemy tries to hit us and get us off course from reaching the promises of God for our lives.
What sustained Jesus and helped Him fight off the enemy was the Word of God!  "It is written ..." Jesus quotes Scripture back at the enemy's attacks, and the enemy loses his grip and has to try something else. We cannot overlook this. The power of the written Word of God breaks the enemy's grip and causes him to back away from us.
So when the Lord said to me, "Who are you listening to right now?" and "Is My voice the loudest?"  I felt pressed to get more of the Word of God in me during this season. It's a key to unlocking the promises over our lives.
Refocus, Find Direction and Step Into Your Assignment
"Where are you going right now? What is the assignment I gave you for this season? Refocus and find your direction," I heard the Lord say next.
"Refocus and finish well" was the challenge presented to me that day. What has the Lord assigned to you? Often, as we wait for a promise to come, discouragement steps in and tries to get us distracted and off course. When Nehemiah was so close to finishing the construction of the wall, distraction tried to pull him away. His response is awesome: "I can't come meet you right now. I have to finish what God has given me to do!"
Nehemiah recognized that it was the plan of the enemy to set him off course and also do him harm. When you are close to finishing or walking into the promises of God of your life, do not get distracted by the small assaults of the enemy. Claim this same tenacious spirit that Nehemiah carried, and keep your focus clear.
Lastly, I heard the Lord say "Declare it and declare it again."
Even when we can't see the answers to our prayers, let us pick up our faith and believe that God is a God of the impossible. He is moving, whether we can see it or not. Our prayers move the heart of God.
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen" (Eph. 3:20-21).

Fire in My Bones: 7 Ways the Holy Spirit Transforms You - J. Lee Grady Charisma News


(Getty Images/iStock/Getty Images Plus/Royalty-free/eyecrave)
Last week I was preaching in Canada, and my hotel was only two miles from the host church. But it took almost 30 minutes to drive that short distance because road construction crews in Toronto had blocked all but one lane in a major intersection. Orange traffic cones were everywhere. Traffic was at a standstill.
It was especially frustrated because no workers were on site. I wanted to roll down my window and yell at the traffic cones. The lanes were blocked but nothing was happening! The delay was pointless!
When I finally got to church I was annoyed, and it took me a while to enter into worship. That's when the Lord gently corrected me. He showed me I was as impatient with Him as I was with the road crews. I had to repent for my bad attitude. And I had to surrender my life afresh to God's dealings.
Many times God creates roadblocks in our lives because He's working on us. We may not understand what He's doing, but we must trust Him anyway and accept whatever delays He is causing. The delays are always for our good.
He may be widening our capacity to love others, or removing a serious obstacle in our character. The Holy Spirit knows what we need. Our job is to surrender to His work in our lives. He is God. We are not!
The whole experience of sitting in that traffic in Canada made me ponder the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. He is working 24/7 to make me like Jesus. He is doing the same for you. I hope you appreciate the different ways He is transforming you:
  1. He is rebuilding you. Just as Nehemiah rebuilt the ruined city of Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit reconstructs your life. Nehemiah actually means "Comforter," a name Jesus used to describe the Spirit. You are under construction, and He has strategically placed orange cones and roadblocks in areas of your life. Let Him rebuild all your broken places!
  1. He is teaching you. The Holy Spirit, who is called "the Spirit of truth" (John 16:13), knows how to bring us to maturity. He shines His supernatural light on the Bible and opens our minds to understand His truth. He allows us to hear His still, small voice inwardly. He reveals His mysteries so we can know Him intimately.
  1. He is refining you. The Holy Spirit is a fire, and He wants to burn up anything that does not resemble Christ. Like a smelter of gold, He melts us, skims off the toxic alloys and melts us again to remove all impurities. Don't be afraid when the Spirit turns up the heat.
  1. He is testing you. One man builds with gold, silver and precious gems; another builds with wood, hay and stubble (see 1 Cor. 3:12-13). Both might look good on the outside, but the testing of the Lord proves what a man is made of. The Spirit's relentless fire will test what you are building for God so that only He will get the glory for it.
  1. He is renewing you. Titus 3:5 mentions the "renewing of the Holy Spirit," and we can be thankful that He offers such a blessing. He does not anoint us once and then leave us to live on one jar of oil. The Spirit sends fresh anointing when we are tired, poured out or discouraged. He opens up bottles of new wine and fills us with new joy. He pours the fresh oil of heaven on those who are desperate for more of His presence.
  1. He is subduing your flesh. We don't have to grit our teeth or trust our own willpower to overcome sin in our lives. We have the indwelling power of the Spirit to help us live holy lives. Romans 8:13 says we can put to death the deeds of the body "by the Spirit." He is like a warrior who plunders the enemy in our lives. We may feel weak in the face of temptation, but He has defeated the power of sin once and for all.
  1. He is revealing His glory in and through you. The apostle Paul reminded us that because we have the Spirit inside us, we are now beholding the glory of the Lord "as in a mirror." And the result: We "are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory." Don't focus on your flaws. Fix your eyes on Jesus. When you focus on yourself, you will be disappointed; when you focus on Him, you will be transformed.

"We Are At a Turning Point! Watch For the Signs! Key Prophetic Revelation For Now!" - Chuck D. Pierce - The Elijah List


Newsletter dated Tuesday, November 3, 2015
Dear Watching Ones: There are certain gatherings when the presence of God is so overwhelming. This past Sunday when we walked into the Tabernacle for our 7:30 AM service, you could sense HIM in the midst of us. What follows is a prophetic compilation from Sunday morning. Several key dreams with prophetic interpretation follow this.


Please read these dreams and prophecies carefully. All of these will help explain the "MOMENT" we are in.
This is the Day of the Turning Point!
I would say to you, "Embrace your turning point. Over this past season you've been sifted and you've been strained, and you have even fought for your very breath. But this is a day of change! This is a day of rearranging! 

This is a time that I AM sending a three-fold cord of empowerment into your soul that cannot be broken. 

For many of your nerves were strained and broken over the last seven years. Many covenants that you thought would last are now lying by the wayside.
"I am now sending a three-fold cord to reform, and to restore, and to rebuild. I am causing My restoration of your future to begin to rise. Step into the well and the water that is now stirring and moving. 

Watch Me begin to wash away what strained you. Watch Me cause you to shine. Watch Me give you new territory for this season.

"You have heard Me release Safe Passage. You have heard Me release Turning Point. But now you will see and hear Me as I come forth as Redeemer, Restorer, and Rebuilder. I am sending angels connected with these three dimensions of transformation. What was broken will be fixed, brought forth, and renewed.
"When you look at yourself don't look for the pot or vessel that you were. I've had to disconnect elements from how you were built, crush, and then add new liquid that would cause you to be made into a structure for the future.

What I am rebuilding, restoring and redeeming will look different from anything you expected from the past.

Others that look you at would say, 'Who is this person?'
"Your heel will crush the head of the snakes you've seen in the past. The attacks you've seen between brothers and brothers, and sisters and sisters – look ahead and see the covenant that I have been developing.

I will send My people realigned into the enemy's camp. This realigned army will defeat the enemy and the booty will be brought to My Kingdom. You will fight alongside those you thought were sifted away.

I am restoring an army in a new way, and I am realigning a new day.
"For I am bringing down the Ancient Book with mysteries.

These books carry the strategies for legislators of the Kingdom.

These strategies contain revelation for a new dimension of Kingdom power. These strategies will overtake the enemy in every region that I assign you to. So receive the books – the Ancient Books – that carry the strategies of the legislation of God."
I Need You! Therefore, I Am Drawing You!

"This will be a time that I will release a new seeking draw upon your life. You will begin to seek Me and long for Me. You will begin to say, 'I must have intervention! I must have a breaking-in of God's presence and His life!' I am going to draw you, and you will seek Me in a way you haven't sought Me! 

You will know Me in a way you haven't known Me! Feel the drawing, and submit to the drawing. Watch your new level of seeking begin. I will draw you into that which you have been longing to experience.

"For this is a time that I am beginning to brood and reform in a new way. For there are things that I have longed to see come into the earth realm.

As My people gather and loose the sound of Heaven, I will hover and rearrange chaos.

I am calling My people into a new place of alignment. My army is beginning to assemble. A new sound of joy, a new sound of laughter, and a new demonstration of power is beginning to arise. Allow My Spirit to brood over you. As I meet with you, you will see the two ends that could not meet in the last season begin to form a new line of demarcation.
"Your praise and worship are rising as an occupying force in the spirit realm. There is a rout taking place in the spirit world! This will only increase. There is a displacement coming in the second heaven from the worship and praise of My people as they seek My Spirit and respond to all I am offering them."
I Am Rearranging Your Past Confusion!
"I have been rearranging your confusion, for you have not been able to see the joy in the midst of the chaos around you. This will be a time that I draw out the joy that is in you. I have placed you in that chaos that is around you to produce joy.

If you will release the joy that I have developed within you, the chaos will subside and you will see the order around you.
"It's not how eloquently or long you pray! 

The key is the ONE WORD of faith. 

As you speak that one word, your situation will change. Do not let the downdraft pull you down into the circumstances that are surrounding you. Remain buoyant with that one word. The one word is your breakthrough in this season.
"Declare breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough into everything that seems chaotic. 

Your buoyant faith is what causes you to arise in the midst of everything that is trying to pull you down. Don't stop at one breakthrough, but go from breakthrough to breakthrough until you are beyond breakthrough.

"My Names that you have built within you in the past season will now come into fullness. This will cause angelic armies to align with you and push you through the atmosphere that is attempting to hold you. Every force must bow! It is not the mere words that you speak, but it is the one effective word that causes a 'bulls-eye' shot." 

(Prophetic words spoken by: Chuck D. Pierce, Keith Pierce, Acijam Otxoa, Brian Kooiman, Lisa Lyons, and Melinda Richardson.)
Anne Tate's Dream of the Beginning of Unusual Miracles!
On Sunday morning I had a dream just before waking up. In the dream I was seated at a high, square table that was open in the middle and that could seat 8 people on each of the 4 sides. (The word that came to me was 4-squared.) You (Chuck) were there along with others that I work and minister with. On the table in front of me was a pair of glasses that were folded – lens up. Something fell on one of the lens and created a circle of cracks like a rock hitting a windshield.
I picked the glasses up and the mar or starburst (the broken portion) slid right off the lens. The vision of your land, your ministry, and those that you thought you would work with, that had been marred in the past season, had now slid off. The miracle of restored vision occurred. What we had been looking through to develop the new beginning for our feast in the land portion had been restored.
The Lord spoke to me and said,"We are in a window of unusual miracles." 
I knew He was telling me that healing wasn't even a drop in the bucket of the miracles we are going to see. He began to stretch out words in the atmosphere around me of all kinds of unimaginable occurrences. (Photo via Pixabay)
The Lord had me comprehend that it was the faith that had been released over the last year as we did the "5:15 Movement" prayer watches that was now going to start manifesting. The 5:15 was the beginning of a new identity that produced faith in us. We then connected that with "The Counting of the Omer" which shifted into a harvest multiplication dimension. Following this we engaged in "Daniel Prayer".
Then we were led to exalt and pray the "Names of God" (Hallowed be Thy Name)! Now the "52 Days of Arising and Building" will thrust into a repairing the losses of the past, rolling away the reproach, walking in the Spirit, and securing our boundaries for the future.

Linda Heidler's Dream of Unlocking Keys of Revelation and Breakthrough!
Two young men and my daughter, Lindy, were like a special-ops team. Each had a portion of a special assignment and were skilled experts in what they did. They were very focused on an assignment somewhere in Israel. They were working very intently, but then threw their hands up and said, "This is it! We can't go any farther than where we are now." I knew they hadn't completed what they were supposed to do, and it was going to be very bad since the project had not been finished.
Suddenly, all three of them started jumping up and down, waving their arms and worshipping, and saying, "God, You are so good! Praise God! Hallelujah!" They could not contain or hold it in. In my mind, I couldn't see what had brought this kind of response. As they did that, keys started falling, and they reached out and grabbed them. When each one had a key, they looked at their key and at each other and said, "We can finish now!" Then they went right back to work.
When I woke up I heard the Scripture from Habakkuk 3:17-19. In those verses, exalt means "to jump for joy" and rejoice means "to spin wildly with joy". When we choose to worship like that in that kind of situation, the Lord gives us hinds' feet to ascend on the high places. All the sources of provision mentioned in the verses are "lowland" provision. However, the Lord was saying, "When you choose to worship Me like this, I will cause you to leap up to a place where none of that is an issue."
Additional prophetic interpretation by Chuck D. Pierce:
"You are at the end of a path that I have put you on. Although you have been trained and have come to a place of understanding of how to maneuver on this path, you can go no further until you rely upon Me. This will be a time that you cry out and rejoice in Me. 

In your rejoicing, I will begin to unlock revelation that will cause you to be able to unlock your future. (Photo via flickr)
"When you reach the end of your provision and understanding, worship and praise Me for all I've given you. If you will do that, then I will send down the door to your next storehouse. Many of My people will now be at their end. However, when you begin to rejoice, you will leap into a new vision and see into the place that I have for your future!"
Pam Pierce's Dream of The Narrow Doorway!
I was on a farm with a big old barn, farmhouse and people everywhere. I was in the house going from room to room, and noticed how narrow the doorways were. At one point, I started through a doorway and had to turn sideways to make it through. I got stuck and began to panic, but knew I had to exhale. After I exhaled I was able to make it through the door.
When I tried to leave that same room, I thought, "That doorway looks even narrower now." So I exhaled and started through but got stuck and really began to panic. The people in the room with me said, "Stay calm...we'll just oil you up!" So they got out a bottle of olive oil and greased me up on both sides and pushed me through.
Prophetic interpretation by Janice Swinney, LeAnn Squier and Chuck D. Pierce:
"There are familiar doors that you have gone through before. But in this season it will take a different approach to be able to go through these doors. When you try to go back through a door I've already sent you through, even that will require a different stance. 

Only as you are fully led, covered and oiled by My Spirit, will you be able to move through those doors.
"Some of those doors will also require others to help you get through. You will not only need an anointing, but a collaborative spirit – a synergy that will bring forth a new energy. Look to your companions for the anointing. 

For surely, they will assist you as you move through ever-narrowing doors. Know that the opportunities are there along with the resources and provision to get you through your door. (Photo via flickr)
"Though you are moving forward, I will be returning you to some places you've been to previously. For you to get back in those places, you must have the help and anointing of others to allow you to bring the spoils from those places back into the new. Time is beginning to narrow around you.

In the midst of this narrowing, I will anoint you, and cause other's anointings to assist you so you accomplish that which I am calling you to do."
Miracle Report from Myanmar!
Doug Fraser is one of the apostolic leaders aligned with this ministry. He wrote us yesterday to share the following:
Here is a miracle report from a young pastor that I am working with in Myanmar. On the day you shared the reading of Psalm 37 for our Walking in the Spirit Prayer Focus, I sent it to Pastor M, since I share with him what we are doing at Glory of Zion.
 He sent me a message last night that another pastor was caught in military crossfire at a freedom rally in his area. He was carrying a Bible, and a bullet fired at demonstrators hit his Bible and was stopped at Psalm 37. The people are sharing this as a miracle of God's protection! Next year I am planning to go to Myanmar to work on setting up an Apostolic/Kingdom center there. But I just had to share the power of God's favor and moving forward in the nations by our obedience to share His current revelation. (Photo via Wikimedia)
Wow – what an amazing testimony! Stop and read Psalm 37:23-24 and thank the Lord that He orders our steps and upholds us daily: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand."
Blessings,

A Messianic perspective on Tisha B'Av

A Messianic perspective on Tisha B'Av

Tuesday, July 16, 2013 |  Connie Fieraru  Israel TodayShare on blogger
I called on your name, Lord, from the depths of the pit. You heard my plea: “Do not close your ears to my cry for relief.” You came near when I called you. Lamentations 3:56-57
On the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av, 5773 - the most tragic day on the Jewish calendar - thousands of religious Jews approached Jerusalem’s Kotel (Western Wall), the holiest site for Jews and Christians, to commemorate the destruction of the holy temples, Jerusalem and the Jewish commonwealth. This year marks 1943 years since the Second Temple’s destruction in the year 70 CE.
Tisha B’Av is the lowest point of a three week period of mourning. During this time all celebratory occasions are forbidden. It is a time of solemn reflection and mourning for Israel and the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people.
Traditions associated with this day include sitting on the floor reciting prayers, walking without leather shoes, refraining from washing and fasting for 25 hours. Many Jews spend the night next to the Kotel, the last remaining remnant of the Second Temple, and pray for its rebuilding and reestablishment. Today the Temple Mount is in Islamic hands, with mosques now occupying the place where once stood the Holy of Holies.
Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) see him as the true Temple of God that dwelt among us. The Tabernacle was a temporary dwelling place, as was the physical Temple, for, as it is written (2 Chronicles 6:18), God could never be contained in a house made of stone, cedar and gold. Furthermore, Yeshua told the Pharisees that he was greater than the Temple in Jerusalem (Matthew 12:6). Yeshua himself is the divine presence of God, which tabernacles among us (Colossians 2:9).
To those, however, who still mourn the destruction of the Temple, Yeshua remains ‘the stone that causes them to stumble.’ They stumble because they do not believe that Yeshua is the sanctuary for His people. While the Temple stood it signified that the way into God’s holy presence had not yet been disclosed (Hebrew 9:8). It presented an obstacle to those who would worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23) and a barrier to the Gentiles coming to faith in the one true God.
Yeshua himself was not only the Holy of Holies, but also the Lamb of God, the one and only perfect sin offering. When his flesh was destroyed the curtain in the Temple was also destroyed, thus releasing His presence to all who would approach and draw near to Him in faith.
But what of the promises regarding the Temple in Jerusalem?
God’s promises that one day the Temple will be restored and the children of Israel will be re-gathered from the nations are far from null and void. It is evident today that the promise of return is rapidly being fulfilled. And, interestingly, the day of mourning for the Temple is already, even before it has been rebuilt, starting to become a time of renewed hope, faith and restoration.
A new short film by the Temple Institute is just one example of how Tisha B’Av is gradually reframing itself and rising up from the sackcloth and ashes. Titled The Children are Ready II, the video depicts an emotional journey starting in the synagogue where the traditional lamentations are read. But, the focus is not on the adult’s recitation; rather, it is on the children in the next room playing with their building blocks. It is the children whom are awakened to the fact that the time of mourning has ended. The film ends with the children leading the adults out of the door of the synagogue into a bright white light with the words: ‘The children are ready’.
This image of the next generation pioneering change by replacing mourning with building and strengthening the destiny that lies ahead for Israel and her people is insightful; for while it focuses on the promised physical rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, it is also very much representative of the promises spiritual awakening of Israel that will lead them to their Messiah.
Tisha B’Av must become for us a time to rejoice that the Temple’s foretold destruction signifies that the way into God’s presence has been opened through Yeshua, and we must earnestly pray that the people’s hearts continue to be softened so that they see in Him their hope and the embodiment of the Temple they so yearn to see reestablished.
