(These meetings took place November 14th - 16th, 2016 and some of the events have already transpired.)
Here is Cindy Jacobs' introduction to the word this year:
THE YEAR OF THE BREAKTHROUGH
2017: The Breakthrough Year
“The One who breaks open will come up before them;
They will break out.
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
Their king will pass before them,
With the Lord at their head.”
They will break out.
Pass through the gate,
And go out by it;
Their king will pass before them,
With the Lord at their head.”
Micah 2:13 (NKJV)
The Symbolism of the Number 17
The number 17 in scripture symbolizes “overcoming the enemy”
and “complete victory.”
God overcame the sins of rebellious humans when He began to
flood the earth and rested on the 17th day of the Hebrew month. Noah’s ark and
its eight passengers rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th day of the
seventh month of the religious year (Tishrei), right in the middle of God’s
Holy period known as the Feast of Tabernacles.
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is in the seventh month
(Tishri) and on the tenth day of the Hebraic calendar. This day calls for the
turning from our sins through repentance that brings us to victory.
It is the time for the breakthrough to victory.
There will be a significant increase in miracles and signs
and wonders. The anointing will be so strong that it will break significant and
long-standing strongholds that have plagued people's lives.
“It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.”
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.”
Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV)
For the Lord says, “My people are entering into an
overcoming season that will produce great breakthroughs. For the enemy has come
in like a flood, but I, the Lord, am releasing great victories. I will stem the
tide of violence. I will bring peace to the land. I will bring an awakening! I
will release revival!”
Receive Your Breakthrough This Year
This is the year that the blessings will overtake us, if we
obey the voice of our God! If we put out hands to the things pertaining
to the Kingdom of God for His sake, we will begin to prosper. It is critical
that we spend time seeking the Lord for the right alignment in our
relationships for us to release these blessings.
For some, it will mean a geographic move, for others, the
leaving of the old for the new. For others, it will be mean staying in
covenantal relationships even when they are tested.
The Promise and the Condition
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the
voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I
command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations
of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you,
because you obey the voice of the Lord your God”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (NKJV)
We need to understand the Hebraic meaning of our times. The
year 2017 on the Roman calendar corresponds to the year 5777 on the Hebraic
calendar, which is symbolized by the crowned sword.
The sword cuts off the old and releases the new. The enemy
has been trying to “cut off” many relationships and come against the new move
of unity coming to families and the Body of Christ. We see Satan being defeated
on many levels as we experience great breakthroughs, both personally and
corporately.
This is the year of breakthrough to release the following
things:
- Mantles or anointings of the Holy Spirit released across generations. This is the year of securing your legacy.
- New leaders recognized and released.
- Shifts in government and new international alliances forming.
- More
corruption exposed on national levels, both in the United States and other
nations.
Mantles are being passed
The passing of Peter Wagner was a game-changer for the Body
of Christ. Old wine structures are going to be tested, and those who will be
willing to become new wine
will be promoted. Churches who allow themselves to become
apostolic sending centers will grow and see many saved.
Fuller Theological Seminary is going to come into a time of
renewal as in the days when C. Peter Wagner invited John Wimber to teach his
signs and wonders class. The Holy Spirit will be poured out once again
upon the professors. Other divinity schools such as Princeton will also be
visited by God as young professors are touched by God’s power and come into
spiritual renewal. New wine curriculum will be introduced into seminaries and
Bible Schools around the world. The renewal legacy of Peter Wagner combined
with that of John Wimber is about to come upon a new generation.
A diversity of mantles is falling in this time like unto
what Peter Wagner carried. Mantles from God for the writing books,
prophetically “seeing” trends, keeping the church (ekklesia) fresh and ready
for each new move of God are being distributed to properly aligned leaders in
this hour.
There will be many, many changes in this coming year.
Changes in locations, houses, buildings, and the breaking off of generational
systems of debt.
A new generation of spiritual warriors will be trained and
arise to do governmental and prophetic intercession. Old prayer movements
will be strengthened, and a new generation of prayer warriors will arise for
battle. There will be an awakening of prayer and spiritual warfare. Deliverance
will take place on many levels through this fresh movement.
There will be continued shakings as the sword of the Lord
pierces the darkness of centuries over the nations. Some will experience great
tumults and shakings.
The good news is that, in the midst of the shakings, there
will be a time of renewal and coming together like in Ezekiel 37, when the
shakings of dry bones caused new breath and life coming into the army of the
Lord.
Let the Ekklesia Arise
Networks of Kingdom Alliances with the voice of hope are
emerging in very intentional ways. Many will teach on the “ekklesia” from their
pulpits and in their conferences, inspiring the people of God to arise and be
the called-out ones.
There will be a strong anointing on the ekklesia to root out
and pull down the “gates and walls of the enemy.” By this, as we are faithful
to move out into society to be a voice of change, there will be a dismantling
and shaking of old corrupt systems.
The economies of nations who have refused to shift and are
keeping their people in bondage will see massive shakings. Exposure after
exposure will come to those corrupt individuals who thought they were too
protected and embedded through bribes and intimidation. They will find
themselves falling out of power, going to prison, and, in some cases, even
dying.
The Lord showed us clearly that this is a new season where
the ekkesia is being given the anointing not only to root out, and tear down,
but this will be a special season of building and planting. The revelation of
blessing our cities and nations will be a kingdom anthem for the ekklesa.
If we root out, but do not plant, then the nations will only be exposed to
worse than they had been before.
Therefore, we admonish the intercessors to pray beyond the
tearing down of old systems and pray into the structures and systems that need
to form afterward. Let’s intercede for new leaders and effective systems
to be put in place that will build up their nations.
It’s Time to Build!
Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my
mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me,
saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well,
for I am ready to perform My word.”
Jeremiah 1:9-12 (NKJV)
One of the things to be planted is what could be called “The
Love Revolution.” Just as the Summer of Love in 1967 changed the landscape of a
generation, so now, 50 years later, the world will see the face of Christianity
in a new light.
The admonition in 1 Corinthians 14:1, "Let love
be your aim" will be planted in the nations as the church rises
up in a more visible way. The words of the theme song from the Jesus People
Movement, “They will know that we are Christians by our love” will
have a new resonance as this message of loving God and loving one another is
sung in new ways. We will be carriers of God’s goodness wherever we go!
Changing Financial Structures
The way people make money is going to change. A new breed of
entrepreneurs will arise who are “out-of-the-box” thinkers. New structures of
wealth creation will open up. For example, in the past the stock markets were
major generators of wealth, but this will be the era of YouTube millionaires.
The church, missions organizations, and other ministries
will benefit greatly from the creation of wealth, as new donors will rise up to
help finance the building of this global vision. The gift of giving will be
highlighted in the coming move of God, and people of wealth will understand how
to use their gift to advance the Kingdom of God.
Watch Latin America as structures that kept people in
poverty are going to begin to unravel and weaken.
A New John 17 Movement
The Lord spoke to us that next year we would see a new John
17 movement begin where the prayer of Jesus will be answered. Many streams will
run together until we see a river of revival flow across the earth. There will
be major reconciliations between denominations, nations, and peoples.
God will anoint peacemakers in this season who are
especially empowered by God to be a voice for unity between factions and help
heal the breaches.
This John 17 move will extend to families as well as there
is a “focus on the family” where longstanding breaches between siblings, and
between parents and their children are healed. God is calling for families to
pray together and “light” the family altar. Strongholds in family systems
are going to be broken in powerful and supernatural ways. This will even
extend to strongholds of poverty, disease, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
The John 17 movements will align against injustice and
religious strongholds as they decide together that they want a new move of the
Holy Spirit.
We are hearing the words, New Wine, New Wine!
A convergence of all the past moves of God coming together
with the manifestations of Pentecostal Fire, the Healing and Deliverance
Crusades. The Latter Rain Glory being poured out with new realms of glory, the
Evangelicals' Burden of the Lost, and the Jesus People Movements love for the
lost, the gifts of the Holy Spirit from the Charismatic Movement, the Third
Wave Theological Credibility, the Revelation of the Prophetic Movement, and the
Relational Networking of the Apostolic Reformation that includes an
understanding of reforming and transforming society in each mountain (or
sphere).
This great Convergence of the Ages is coming with a historic Fourth
Wave of the Holy Spirit and a reformation that will lead to the Great
Transformation of nations.
The wind of the Holy Spirit is going to blow with new
renewal movements arising in the youth upon centuries-old churches. The power
of the Holy Spirit will be poured out in a new, fresh way, manifesting through
the young and old. The miracles that have seemed only to happen infrequently
are going to be dramatic.
Many “working of miracles” that are creative in nature will
be seen in hundreds of churches across the world. Centuries old churches that
have prayed for a renewed move of the Holy Spirit will see their prayers
answered. It is the time for a new Pentecost! Some that criticize those who are
longing for renewal will find they are put out of leadership in their churches
and denominations. Both the young and the old will see the power of the Holy
Spirit fall upon them.
This again will result in many, many new missionaries being
sent out across the face of the earth that are willing to go to the most
difficult and hard-to-reach areas. Central Asia will be majorly impacted
by this mission’s movement. God is calling a new generation who will go out and
evangelize the world! The numbers of those going to preach will increase in
large proportion compared to the generation before them.
These missionaries will carry the gospel, anointed with
revelation to give “hope solutions” to the current needs of the nations where
they are sent.
The heartland of the United States and the cities along the
Mississippi River will be used by God to mend the great divide that has come to
the nation as a result of the recent polarizing US elections.
The warfare from the last season that has “worn out” God’s
people will fade away as the refreshing rains of the Spirit of God fall afresh.
It is time for breakthroughs and the breaking off of the pain, discouragement,
and battle fatigue of yesterday.
Harvest Season
The greatest harvest of souls the earth has known is upon
us. Hundreds of thousands will be saved. The Middle East will experience a
revival and this will extend into the evangelization of both the Arab and the
Non-Arabic-speaking Muslims. Look to Egypt to be a leader in this revival and
awakening.
The Glory of God is going to be poured out across the United
States and these areas were specifically given as revival centers:
Los Angeles, California; Silicon Valley, Redding,
California; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Phoenix, Arizona; a new
spring coming out of Colorado Springs, Colorado; Oklahoma; Austin, Texas;
Kansas City, Missouri; Madison, Wisconsin; Indianapolis, Indiana; Nashville,
Tennessee; Orlando, Florida; Fort Mills, South Carolina; Virginia; Annapolis,
Maryland; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; New York City; Boston, Massachusetts; as
well as other cities and regions.
The inner cities of America and the areas in which Satan has
built is greatest strongholds will begin to rebuild, and the revivals in such
cities as Detroit and Chicago will astound the news! God says, “I will
not forget the inner cities!”
This harvest time will result in the salvation of
high-profile leaders both in the media, government, and education spheres of
society. They will be vocal and unashamed! Their bold presence on social media
will cause a huge stir in the news services.
God is going to shake pop culture! He is going to use
it for His glory.
Look to the reserves and reservations and tribal lands of
the nations of the earth. The indigenous peoples of the earth are about
to be touched by God’s power. Where they were oppressed through
colonization, they are going to experience great healing and receive the power
and grace to forgive the terrible atrocities committed against them. As a
result, they will be used to touch many nations with the truth of God’s saving
power.
The historic wells of revival are going to flow again as
bold evangelism takes place on the streets and on the campuses of schools where
progressivism and Marxism have taken root. Latin America will be a leader
in this move of God.
A New Renaissance
New songs and new sounds will flow from emerging worship
leaders. The Tabernacle of David will see the release of many, many new
Psalmists that will sing the song of the nations. A new, even more passionate
generation of abandoned worshippers is emerging!
Songs will be written that influence not only the church but
also society at large. These songs will disciple nations in the way that
the Beatles and the Summer of Love released a “free love sexual revolution” in
a negative way as well as rebellion and sin. We will be singing the sounds of
awakening in society! The bells of true liberty will ring in song once again.
Andrew Fletcher, a politician from Scotland, said, “Let me
sing the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” In other words,
the power of the voice singing creates movements for societal change.
Power worshippers will arise as a new generation moves into
cities and regions and breaks open the heavens in a massive way. Through praise
and worship, they will “pierce the darkness” created by principalities and
powers over regions.
These worshippers will become “sent ones” who will go into
unreached parts of cities and nations to prepare the way for the evangelists
who will come after them.
This worship movement will see an even greater rebuilding of
the Tabernacle of David with many more 24/7 Houses of Prayer being established.
They will have an understanding of the connection that God has given between
the church and Israel, and many will call this new move a “Davidic Messianic”
movement of believers.
A Movement of Reformers
2017 is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
Many, many people will talk about the need for societal
reformation and desire to be reformers. Young people will band together to form
movements that display a passion to go into each area of their culture and see
reformation.
This will set the stage for the greatest outpouring of the
spirit and awakening the world has even known! Nations that were never impacted
by the reformation will begin to experience one now. This will happen in
all the continents!! “Africa, Africa, Africa, you are moving into your
greatest hour, says the Lord!”
Germany and France will be deeply impacted by this move of
God. The Calvin’s and the Luther’s are arising! Books will be written and
the history of past moves of God will be studied. It will also go into the
Catholic churches, the Coptics from Egypt, the Orthodox churches in Russian and
Eastern Asia. It will affect both the Eastern and Western Orthodox
churches. While many of the older leaders in these denominations and
church movements will rejoice, some will rise up and persecute this new of God.
Social media will be the Gutenberg press in this
reformation.
The news will be amazed as very liberal owners of social
media begin to announce that they are now believers. This will impact the
Silicon Valley community in California in a big way. The Holy Spirit is calling
for massive intercession for influencers in these sectors of society.
The youth who have seemingly crashed in the past season into
being part of the “hard left” with liberal, humanistic agendas will suffer
great disillusionment. But if the church will reach out to them in this time of
lost dreams, they will be saved and become part of the most powerful move of
evangelism and discipling that their nations have ever known.
The Effects of the United States’ Election
Several of our prophets received words that Donald Trump
would become the next president and will become a 21st century Cyrus. He is
called to break the mold of political correctness. We received the word that if
we pray for him, he will heal, rather than divide, the nation.
Intercession must be made or this will not happen in the way
God intends. Racial division must be healed and the people of all ethnicities
must come together as part of this John 17 movement. This cannot be a
“whites only” movement, but the church must work to fight for unity and be a
massive voice against racism that still exists in the nation.
There will be many civil rights reformers who will not let
this need of healing of the nation creates divides. We received a serious
admonition that the church must pray to see the nation healed or the breaches
will only grow.
Native Americans will be part of this civil reformation and
antiquated laws, and even the Bureau of Indian Affairs will be reformed.
There is coming such scientific proof concerning the science
of the pre-born child that this will result in reformations in the medical
field’s stance and thinking as a whole. The pre-born child will be declared a
human being. Some that have held this stance all along will break their silence
and become strong advocates for the pre-born.
We prophesied a conservative revolt, and now we prophesy a
“social media revolt” in which many use this form of communication and it will
result in the crippling networks and newspapers that persecute the truth of
God. God is about to arise in a way to release the anointing of truth. There
are media revolutionaries who will change the way everything is being done concerning
communications. This will result in financial shakings will cause long-standing
news media to begin to lose millions of dollars, even causing some to go under!
This will be a shock to many who relied upon them to be their “voice.”
As a backlash against this conservative social media revolt,
the liberal press will even accuse God’s people of lying, giving the biblical
analogy of the sons of Belial
who lied in court to get Naboth’s vineyard. However,
accusations of the liberal press will not prevail. Intercession must be
done for the church to be protected.
Corruption is going to be exposed in the media as well and
the disillusionment will deepen in people in general with “traditional media”
sources. Out of this season, new, anointed news anchors will come to the
forefront who will be unashamedly believers and they will experience great
favor.
Washington DC will be “ground zero” for the exposure of
corruption. Some that are exposed will shock the nation as God continues to
move to cleanse both political parties. Corrupt judges will also be
exposed in the circuit courts. We were told to use Ezekiel 22 as a model
to decree against corruption.
The whistleblowers will come out in droves! Aides and
interns will speak and tell what they have both seen and heard.
Collusion between the Federal Drug Administration and the
pharmaceutical companies will be exposed in surprising ways.
The lobbyists are going to be removed from their places of
influence in a significant way, and the influence of corporate giants over
Congress will also be reformed.
Term limits will be put in place for Congress in the future.
Reformation is coming to every aspect of society.
Major trade deals are going to be re-written and old enemies
will become trading partners. God is aligning the nations for His
purposes. The global elites are going to find that they are not able to move
freely like they did on the international scene. Corruption and collusion will
be exposed and many will be shocked.
A new season of mercy has been given, even though for some
it does not appear to be so at this moment of time. God wants to reboot the
nation and get it back on track.
The Lord wants to release both protection for the nation as
well as wisdom for compassionate immigration reform while dealing with the
criminal influence. This needs serious prayer. The Body of Christ is
forerunning racial reconciliation, and this will display a unity and synergy
that the world is looking for.
A call for continued concerted prayer to continue to bring
both peace, protection and stability to the nation went out. God wants to
give a path to establish what could be called “thrones of glory” all the way
through the year 2020. If the intercessors continue to pray for 2020 vision,
God will release His glory on a scale none of us can imagine.
The Economy
The US will be the safe refuge for investment around the
globe.
Family economies will be blessed if they seek the Lord on
how to get out of debt and save so they can invest in new financial
opportunities that will arise.
Significant investments in new innovations and inventions;
some even given through dreams, will be released. The Mid-West and what
has been known as the rust belt of the United States will begin to
blossom. New investments in inner cities will open up as they are set
free from historic violence and drug abuse.
The churches of the nation will begin to rise up and
systematically work to eliminate poverty. This will impact the inner cities
greatly as they will be considered both a mission field and a treasure field.
The people of the inner cities are treasures to God.
Economic shakings are coming to Europe.
Italy, Spain, and Portugal will be tested. God’s people will
be taken care of in the midst of the crisis. Alignments with Israel are
critical in this season.
North America and Alaska
The wealth of North America will be unlocked and resources
will be opened. There will be a new gas pipeline in Alaska. It will be in the
news as “hidden riches” of gold and rare minerals are found.
The US Military – Terrorism and ISIS
There will be a rebuilding of the United States’ military.
Religious freedom will be restored and the chaplains will once again be able to
freely preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit pointed out
the necessity of this happening in order to see God’s favor poured out on the
military.
Reformers are going to be put in place in the military. The
power of God is going to visit entire military bases around the world.
New strategies to defeat ISIS will be given by new
leadership put in place and fear will fall upon those who are “rogue”
terrorists. The mainstream media and social media voices who are favorable to
allowing refugees with terrorists backgrounds are going to suffer major
blows.
Those nations who are promoting and hiding terrorists will
be ostracized both politically and economically. Rogue nations such as North
Korea are going to be put in check.
New Alliances Between Nations
There will be a tightened alliance between the US and the
UK. Trade agreements will be made between these two nations that will shift the
balance of trade.
God is dealing internally with the Parliament of the UK and
strong voices will arise to speak out for alliances with Israel. Brexit and
Amerix! The exiting from one wineskin to another.
(Note-this by no means that God is not moving within the
people of the EU!)
United Nations
The extreme political and social agenda behind the UN is
going to become apparent to people of many nations. Righteous nations will
stand up to their plans for social engineering through International Planned
Parenthood and eugenics. Reformers will arise from the midst with godly
philosophies who will be strong voices for a realignment away from this
perverted agenda to one that gives compassion aid without “strings” attached to
unrighteous organizations. Ambassadors who are evangelists will rise up ashamed
of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Funding will be withheld as righteous nations in the UN they
stop supporting radicalized social agendas that promote homosexuality as a
life-style and the abortion of babies.
Israel
Signs and wonders will break out in many places. Nazareth
and Haifa will see the power of God in great demonstration. The Russian
Jews are going to experience a harvest of souls in a large way and become
powerful evangelists to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
The nations who align against Israel will find themselves
becoming more economically challenged in the coming days. Nations will withdraw
their funding from the UN initiatives and countries who persecute Israel.
Israel will become a flashpoint among the nations.
There is a confusion of the nations that will take place and an accelerated
polarization of light and darkness.
This will start a process where the Temple Mount will once
again be brought up as a central issue among the nations.
More shakings will take place in the nation but God will
release a youth movement between the Jews and Arabs that will become voices of
unity in the land.
Brazil
More corruption will be exposed and the shake-up of the
government will continue all the way from the national to the local levels.
There will be new government leaders run for office from the church, and
whereas they were not successful in the past, some will see a breakthrough when
they run again.
Iran
There is a growing underground movement that is strong
although not yet seen. There will be much trouble brewing from Iran in
this season, however, God wants to encourage the church that He is hearing
their prayers and has a plan to liberate His people from radical
ideologies.
France
Revival fires are burning! The move of God has started and
will not be quenched. It is time for the prayers of the generations must
be answered. The John 17 movement from France will affect the other nations in
Europe.
The prophets are going to rise up from France and speak very
accurately.
Asia
Vietnam is preparing to be the “Star of Asia” as far as the
numbers of people being saved. This will even have a great impact on the
Communist government. Hanoi will become a beacon of light to the
nations.
China
There will be some continued shakings. However, look to
Inner Mongolia for the greatest moves of God yet!
Australia
Australia is a reformer nation and will produce great
shifts, as well as some clashes on a governmental level. However, the Daniel’s
and Joseph’s are arising in this land.
Egypt and the Middle East
There is a massive awakening coming to the Egypt as well as
the whole Middle East. It is the time for Isaiah 19 to be fulfilled! Reformers
will arise in these nations as well. The blood of the martyrs is
crying out from the ground where ISIS has beheaded so many believers in Jesus
Christ. Their sacrifice is going to result in many “Saul’s” who have become
radicalized will become Paul's.
We see in part and know if part. We are the test all things
and hold fast to that which is good. Some words have immediate fulfillment and
impact. Other words have conditions that must be met in order for them to be
fulfilled. But this is a Year of the Breakthrough! This is a historical time
when another Great Reformation shall take place!
