3 Prophetic Words for This Season: 'Build, Transformation, Transition' - JOE JOE DAWSON CHARISMA NEWS

3 Prophetic Words for This Season: 'Build, Transformation, Transition'

JOE JOE DAWSON  CHARISMA NEWS
Recently, in a time of corporate prayer, the Lord spoke three words to me: build, transformation, transition. The Lord has been speaking to me about the word "build" for several months now. In November 2018, the Lord was speaking to me about how the first 90 days of 2019 would be a season to build, move forward and accelerate. So, when the Lord spoke the word "transformation" to me after this, I knew that what He was saying is that it not only a time to build, but whatever we are building will be transformational. Whatever you are building in this season, God is going to use it, and it will bring transformation to your sphere of influence.
Transformational growth must come in order to prepare us for transition. Whenever God builds anything or prepares anyone, He is preparing them to be strong, because God builds for longevity. God is building foundations in this season. In order for a tree to grow tall and remain healthy, its root must go down deep into the soil to sustain its growth. Whenever an architect builds a skyscraper, he must dig deeper down and lay a firm foundation in order to support the height of the building. God is building individuals, businesses, ministries, marriages, families and organizations in order to bring transformational growth.
God is building firm foundations of character and integrity in many people in this season. You need to be seeking the Lord in holiness and in preparation for the transformation God will work in you and through you. The transformation is for the transition.
"Transition" is a trendy word in the church culture today, but I really believe that God is preparing many in this season for an upcoming transition. But don't transition out of one thing into the next without clear direction from the Lord. Transition is coming to you in order to advance the kingdom of God. If God transitions you into something new, it is to bring transformation to that area. Whenever God places us somewhere, God is strategically placing us not just for ourselves, but for everyone around us. God transitions us to bring shifts to wherever He places us.

This is a time to build for transformation and for transition. This is a time to build whatever God has asked you to put your hands to in this hour. I really feel like this month is a time where God is completing things and establishing many for the transformation and transition that are coming in the months ahead.

DEDICATION

My heart appreciates those among us who have strived to “get it together” with others. I think of Cathy Hargett, Founder of Highway To Zion in Charlotte, North Carolina. There is Curtis Loftin of Beit Yeshua in Lincolnton, North Carolina. Both of these long-time friends have made valiant efforts in bringing together the One New Man, which the Jewish Bible writer Paul said would happen in our day.

Another I know of, seeking to walk in the Lord’s work of unity, is Dr. Peter Wyns, founder of Christians For Messiah Ministries and Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina. He too, in walking out his apostolic calling and anointing, has brought people, churches, and international ministries under His wings, teaching and preaching the Word.

As I mentioned in my introduction following this page is the ministry of Lance Wallnau, who I really enjoy listening to both in public meetings and on his YouTube messages. He currently directs the Lance Learning Group, a strategic teaching and consulting company based in Dallas, Texas.

Many seen and unseen are being raised up around the world, by God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, in our day, working to bring the restoration of His Church into one Body, and take the Good News Yeshua brought the first time He walked the earth, to all the nations.

To the aforementioned, and to these laboring all around the globe, I dedicate this book.

INTRODUCTION

I am a man who likes to see people connected. If I meet one person here, who can help another person over there, I enjoy putting them in contact with each other. If they are in Jerusalem, and I know someone in Iowa that can meet a need they clearly have, I will “reach out” (overworked words I know, but you understand it) for the benefit of both. Makes common sense to me.

The Lord’s heart is certainly for that too. He is all about connecting, to having those He has created to get together and fulfill His purposes and plans for each. For that matter, He has intended it to be this way for us to use what each has been given, to “bring it to the table”, and fulfill the big picture that He has, not us.

It is not about me doing my thing and you doing yours. Separately. It is about coming together and building together. When that happens, then the world will see the Lord’s body of believers as we were meant to be seen. Until now, the world thinks very little of Christians and Jews. In many cases, we are both despised people. And no wonder. Most often all they see is fighting, arguments, name calling, and rejection of what the other “church” or “synagogue congregation” is doing. I don’t blame them. If I was in the “unbeliever’s camp”, so would I.

Guess what? Our God, the same One Who is bringing back the Jews to their Promised Land of Israel, right now, even more so than what He has been in the last 70 years, is also speaking clearly to the other group, “the grafted in ones”, Christians, to come back to His plan, and start working together, in unity, as one.

I like what Lance Wallnau, a popular America speaker, has been saying for years now. “As one!” At first, I thought it was a bit corny. Not so much anymore. Thanks, Lance. You were ahead of many of us!

This being my 20th book, I pray that you will be encouraged as you read these pages, seeking Him and finding your place in the Body; to be fit together and joined with the others, functioning as one.

I am very grateful to the Lord Jesus (Yeshua) that He is putting together His people for the final run – both in Israel and the Church, that make up His Body of Christ, the One New Man.

All together now!

P.S. As a side note: In the later afternoon of Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, the day after St. Valentine’s Day, I started putting together this book for publication, praying as to what the Lord would have me entitle it. He gave me the words, “all together now.” I thought to myself, “Yes, that is what it will be.” I liked those words for the book title.

A few hours later, once my good wife Laurie got home from work, we sat down to “close out” the busy week on a Friday night. Going through the recorded list of TV programs was the singing show called “The Masked Singer”. (It wouldn’t be classified as one of my favorites, but hey, I wasn’t wanting anything heavy to watch either.)

As I read the title of the show’s episode, it read “All Together Now.” Wow! I told Laurie how the Lord had just given me that as the title of this book!

Yes, I like confirmations. And the Lord can, and does, use all ways and means to let us know!

May He encourage you as you read these messages – inspired and giving hope in these days.

As Prophecy Unfolds, Film Shows Side of Israel Many Have Never Seen - SHAWN A. AKERS CHARISMA NEWS

Prophecy is being fulfilled as throngs of Jews are making aliyah to Israel. (David Kiern YouTube Channel)

As Prophecy Unfolds, Film Shows Side of Israel Many Have Never Seen

SHAWN A. AKERS  CHARISMA NEWS
Filmmaker David Kiern says God is on the move in Israel, and Bible prophecy is being fulfilled every day in the Holy Land. It's something Christians should get very excited about, he says.
In his film I Am Israel, Kiern documents the throngs of Jews who, in recent years, have made aliyah, returning to Israel in fulfillment of Scripture: "The Lord will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it" (Deut. 30:5).
The film, Kiern says, also gives a portrayal of an Israel that many who have seen the film say they never knew existed. "Every picture I'd seen of Israel in the media looks very dusty, it looked very dirty, it looked like a place that I wouldn't want to go visit."
But, Kiern says, "We believe this is actually the true Israel. This is the Israel that you don't see in the news, the Israel that the media will not present, which is this beautiful, thriving land of the Bible where prophetic things are happening there today."
When he visited Israel, Kiern says, he realized miraculous things were happening. "During that trip, we really came away with the mission, with the goal of making a movie that would show people what God is doing, this miraculous thing, this very prophetic thing in Israel through the rebirth of the land and the regathering of the Jewish people."

JEZEBEL: WORKING THROUGH CHURCH LEADERS - Jeremiah Johnson

Jeremiah Johnson

March 20, 2019
JEZEBEL: WORKING THROUGH CHURCH LEADERS
What happens when the spirit of Jezebel is working through church leadership? This is the most frequent question I am asked in regards to this topic.

How do we discern our own possible spirit of rebellion versus a leader operating in this spirit? In other words, if I'm calling everyone who tells me what to do, "Jezebel", then I have issues. 
On the other hand, if I'm involved in coercive behavior against my will with a church leader, then I need to get freedom from Jezebel. Just keep in mind that the spirit of Jezebel working through an individual wants freedom in the church so that they can have control, but the spirit of Elijah wants freedom in the church so that God can move. (A good thing) It is serious error to believe that just because a church leader asks you to do something that you don't feel like doing means that they have a Jezebel spirit.
In 1 Peter 5, Peter exhorts church leaders to "shepherd the flock of God exercising oversight", but "not lording it over them". In other words, those in spiritual authority have been instructed by God himself to not suffocate, manipulate, or make those under their care feel inferior to them in any way. Rather, church leaders are called to care for the flock of God through instruction, correction, and counsel.
Here is a profile/mindset of a church member who is under the influence of a Jezebel spirit working through a church leader:
1. "I can't visit another church, special service, etc or my church leader will become angry or verbally abusive."
2. "If I don't give them my money, they say I'm under a curse."
3. "If I leave their church, they say I will become sick, poor, or miss my destiny."
4. "My loyalty to God is measured by my loyalty to them."
5. "I cannot make any life decisions without running everything through them."
6. "I'm afraid of communicating to them how I really feel for fear of repercussions."
7. "They are constantly asking me to serve them, but they've never asked how they can serve me."
8. "I'm suspicious of other church leaders because they are always warning me of other church leaders."
9. "They consistently remind me of all that they've done for me and make me feel second class.
10. "I can't respectfully ask any questions or share my perspective or it's received as I'm being rebellious and insubordinate."
If you are serving under a church leader where more than 6-7 of these attitudes and thoughts cross your mind often, you need to find freedom from the spirit of Jezebel. If you felt sick reading those ten points, it's an immediate sign the spirit is at work against you now or has been in the past.

Lana Vawser: "You're Moving from Anxiety to Ascension!" - The Elijah List

Lana Vawser: "You're Moving from Anxiety to Ascension!"


The Elijah List Mar 22, 2019
Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz:
This is very much a NOW word from the Lord through Lana Vawser. I know that people are wrestling with anxiety in the spirit and in the natural realm too.
Even those who are very sensitive in the spirit and operate in the discerning of spirits gifts have also picked up on anxiety happening in the Body and have been praying for it to GO!
Well, God has heard your prayers for breakthrough. Lana Vawser has picked up on this and shares this penetrating word:
Recently, I heard the Lord making this decree over many people in the Body of Christ: "FROM ANXIETY TO ASCENSION!" I saw the hand of God lifting many Believers from the chains of anxiety and as a result a mighty deliverance from anxiety was taking place in the Body of Christ.
Please take this refreshing word to heart and let God take you to a new ascension in the spirit that you've never experienced before! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7 ESV)
Recently, I heard the Lord making this decree over many people in the Body of Christ: "FROM ANXIETY TO ASCENSION!" I saw the hand of God lifting many Believers from the chains of anxiety and as a result a mighty deliverance from anxiety was taking place in the Body of Christ.
I watched as the power of God set people free from a spirit of anxiety that was sent from the enemy to hinder them from moving into all God had for them. Where anxiety had taken root through traumas, past events and other areas, I saw the power of God bringing healing to their wounded hearts. Wherever the anxiety stemmed, I watched as a mighty move of the Lord brought freedom.
Rising to a Higher Level
Ascension is defined as: "the action of rising to an important position or a higher level." (Oxford English Dictionaries)
Not only is the Lord delivering many people from anxiety and bringing healing and freedom, but He is lifting His people high above the anxieties and cares of this world. There is a fresh wind of the Spirit of God bringing the people of God into a higher realm of vision, peace and rest in Jesus. There is a fresh wind of faith that is arising in the Body of Christ that is summoning God's people higher. (Photo via Unsplash)
There is an incredible shift taking place right now and anxiety is attempting to keep many Believers chained to the ground in areas where God has called them to fly!
I heard the Lord say, "Believe! Believe that the shift has arrived. Believe that I am mighty to save. Believe that I am mighty to deliver, and that this ANXIETY has reached its EXPIRATION DATE.
"There is a major shift of healing and freedom upon you! It's time to FLY! It's time to see this anxiety as not a part of your story anymore—in the place of bondage—but to see a new chapter turn in your life, where you have overcome anxiety and begin to partner with Me to see many others set free of the anxiety that has plagued them. The enemy has fought hard to keep you in the place of anxiety because of the power of your testimony to bring healing and freedom to others.
"Well, I decree over you today that the time where anxiety has hindered your life and assaulted your mind and body has come to an end. Now you shall know Me as healer and deliverer like never before."
The Lord showed me over the past few months that lots of people have been experiencing heightened anxiety. Some have been battling anxiety for a long time and it has intensified, while others are experiencing anxiety that they have never had before. But in all of the battles with anxiety the Lord was decreeing, "ASCENSION."
Can't You Talk Louder, God?
It is time for the rising up OUT of anxiety. It is the time of soaring higher, out of the anxiety that has stolen so much from many of you. It is time to move into a rest, a healing, a confidence in Him, a renewed sense of vision, a renewed hope, a renewed courage, a renewed joy and a renewed strength in Jesus. Anxiety has weakened many Believers in heart and body, but the Lord is decreeing that there shall now be a strengthening like you have never known before, rising up within you in the power of the Spirit. Not only will anxiety no longer plague you as the Healer, Jesus, steps in, but you will go forth in greater boldness and joy in all the Lord has called you to.
Creativity Will Increase and New Ventures Will Be Birthed
I heard the Lord decreeing loudly: "The GIANT of ANXIETY is coming down in the name of Jesus, as the tidal wave of My love flows in the lives of My people. As My nature is revealed as the All-Sufficient One and Protector in greater ways, My people will grow in stature in the Spirit as they step into greater realms of trust in Me, and in revelation of their identity and My power and faithfulness."
I then had a vision where I saw the earth begin to shake under the feet of those who have had such intense battles with anxiety. Suddenly, the ground began to crack open. I watched as springs began to burst forth from under ground and they sprung up like fountains. I heard the Lord say, "The SPRINGS OF CREATIVITY are now BURSTING FORTH."
As these springs of creativity burst forth, I heard the Lord say, "Can you hear the sound of NEW VENTURES being birthed? Can you hear the sound of NEW VENTURES being birthed?"
Not only are HUGE springs of creativity about to burst forth as these shackles of anxiety break off, but there are new ventures the Lord is birthing that are going to see you move forward, flowing in the creativity of God in new and fresh ways.These new and fresh ventures will not bring you great anxiety, but the flow of His creativity will be so strong that you will move in the slipstream of great joy and ease like never before. These new ventures flowing at His pace, with the shackles and strongholds of anxiety broken, will see greater fruit and blossoming than you have ever imagined. (Photo via Unsplash)
Anxiety is Not Your Portion
Friend, today, whether you have struggled with anxiety for the past week, month, year or decade, I want to encourage you: anxiety is NOT your portion. Peace is your portion. Joy is your portion.
I feel the Lord is wanting to encourage you to NOT take on anxiety as part of your identity. The Lord is bringing forth a fresh revelation of your identity in Him and He is bringing down the giant of anxiety in your life. Continue to invite Him in to deal with this assault against many of you and the areas in hearts and souls where anxiety has taken root. God does not condemn you. Repent for any way you have aligned with anxiety and worry, and know that these shackles and strongholds of anxiety have reached their expiration date.
God's decree over you is not anxiety. God's decree over you is you moving OUT of anxiety and into healing deliverance and freedom, and into greater ascension in Him like never before. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
