An Important Key To A Future Blessed Government

To the degree that we choose to bless rather than curse, is the degree the order of heaven will be released upon on the earth.

An Important Key To A Future Blessed Government

I believe, we are now standing on the brink of a major resolve, one of which will usher in a new field of government, both in the natural and spirit. As I have stated multiple times before, the deterioration of an old government is making way for the new. The current display of division in this nation and the world is one of the greatest illusions of all time.

Its force of influence is instrumented through hate and fear.

Historically, fear and hatred bear record of harnessing countless people into believing the future is one of darkness and hopelessness, rather than light and promise.

It’s historically noted that the “gates of hell will not prevail.”  Which means, the government of hate, disunity and darkness, cannot, and will not, overcome the government of love, unity and light.

In case you haven’t noticed, our government is being redefined. In terms of the natural realm, the government of the past will not be the government of the future. This is equally true concerning the government of the Spirit. We are not going back to the days of Adam and Eve. Contrary to popular belief, our birthright, thus our inheritance is born of the Spirit not the flesh.

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and

that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:6)

It has long been my belief, that the Oval office of these United States will historically extend an unusual invite toward the men and women of God in spiritual leadership. Thus, a newfound residence of the government of heaven will emerge within the government of these United States at an unprecedented level.

Having said that, I believe God has shown me an important key that will ultimately unlock his governmental intent over the course of this remaining period as we draw closer to next elected President of these United States.

This key to a blessed  government is through the power of blessing.

Regardless of our governmental stance toward Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, we must choose the road of blessing rather than cursing. Whether Hillary is your presidential choice or not, as mature sons and daughters of God, we must release blessings toward her and her family.

At the beginning of this year, during an MTI gathering, I shared the insight the Lord had given to me concerning Hillary Clinton’s physical state and other intense challenges in her life and family. This was prior to any public evidence. I sensed it was an appeal from the Lord for us to look beyond the natural realm and see the heart of God toward Hillary and her family from an eternal perspective.

In that moment, we prayed for Hillary’s health and well -being, as well as her family, asking God to reveal himself to them in a glorious way.

This same perspective must be applied to Donald Trump and his family as well. We must see them from the perspective of eternity, which is one of love and hope, not hatred and despair.

To the degree that we choose to bless rather than curse, is the degree the order of heaven will be released upon on the earth.

Anything less, will be the result of the enemy trying to lure the people of this nation into agreement with his evil demise toward this nation and other nations in the world.

God is looking for a people who will partner with him in love. When Hillary physically collapsed before the world, I knew this was one of the moments God had spoken to me about earlier.

As the world watched this event unfold, I could feel the sadness of God toward those who were rejoicing over her weakness and brief frailty. I believe moments like these are a limpet test for the body of Christ.

As lovers of God, we are afforded the opportunity to bless and pray for the well- being of all, in hope that they will be impacted by the reality of the governance of God’s heart toward them.

“To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.” (1Peter 3:8-9)

In 2015, and prior years, I have leaned into this day, believing it would mark the beginning stages of an unusual restoration that would tear down the deceptive walls of division in this nation.

Also, year’s prior, I spoke about the “News Media” of this nation being impacted by the glory of God, to such extent, that the “good news” instead of “bad news” would become the popular desire of all nations.

We are now standing on the threshold that intended hour.

Throughout this governmental shift, I have maintained my stance that this elective period will, in the end, be a governmental landslide. I believe this will be the result of those getting involved an elective process in ways they had not before. You will also witness countless people secretly shifting sides from their normal political party. They will be highlighted as the “silent majority.”

In addition, the presumed “wealth of the wicked” will not be taken by others, but will willingly be surrendered over to the heart and mind of God, because of a major shift in their own heart toward the advancement of His kingdom.

As hard as it may be for most to believe, God is winning over the hearts of Billionaires worldwide.

Lastly, prior to 2012, I prophetically spoke about the highest office of this nation never being bought or sold again to the highest bidder. I have a sense that time is now here. What used to be the common denominator behind evil political intent will soon be no more. I’m not implying this will be the case a 100% of the time, but our goal should be a 100% nonetheless.

Resisting Ambitious Strongholds.

In our last School of Higher Learning gathering on March 18, 2012. In that meeting reference was made to the spirit of David appearing in the government of this nation, and also to Daniel. I pointed out the fact that Daniel had a vision to describe and interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar.

My emphasis was on “visions” because I believe this is one of the strategic ways that God is going to infiltrate the government of this nation. It is happening right now. The reason I felt compelled to bring this to your attention now is because I just received another public email from Kim Clement which read, “I feel like I am standing like Daniel praying for the nation.” Kim then gives a brief excerpt about a vision he had. Of course it caught my attention. I have always found the prophetic ministry very fascinating. Not just because of my own personal love for it, but because it is so diverse. It’s like a spiritual Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor: the flavors are many.

Yesterday, March 22, 2012, I was in this intense place of the spirit when all of a sudden I saw a portion of a news headline that read, “Two dead: Kabar…” and I was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise, which after becoming fully aware, turned out to be the office phone. I was certain I had turned it off. Normally I am able to block these things out, but this was not the case this time. As you can probably imagine, I was very upset not being able to read the complete news headline. I thought, “Kabar?” I have never heard of such a word. So, I did what any other spiritual individual would do in a moment like this, I went to the second all-knowing; Google.

Turns out that “kabar” could be one of three things:

A fighting knife issued to USA Marine Corps soldiers from 1942. It is also a colloquial nickname for the American 1219C2 USMC fighting knife. It could be a Turkish tribal confederation who lived in the vicinity of Poltava in the 9^th century. They consisted of three Khazar tribes who rebelled against Khazar Khaganate sometime in the 9^th century. Lastly, it could be a new type of grape which came into production in Hungary in 2006.

Given the fact that the headline began with “Two dead”, I doubt that it was a grape, unless they were very bad grapes. Please don’t let my humor minimize the weightiness of what I saw. It’s just that a partial vision like this, outside of a greater revelation, is in the same neighborhood of only seeing the first three letters of a license plate. Nonetheless, I have a strong sense that the symbol of “kabar” is nothing short of a spirit of death. Yes, I know it appears that we have a name for every spirit out there, but I assure you this is worthy of your attention. This is a call to stand against this spirit of death, this spirit of Kabar, which is nothing less than a political spirit trying to undermine the government of God in this nation.

Of course I will continue to lean into the Lord for the full meaning of what I saw. However, make no mistake; there is indeed an intense override that is pressing to reveal itself in this nation. As I write this I find myself in this odd place of serious humor. I was just hearing the lyrics of “Who let the dogs out.” Honestly, that’s not my song of choice. Yet, it somehow depicts the hour we are in. The dogs from hell have been loosed and they are determined to do their worst damage. However, there’s no need to fear, “Wonder Dog” is here. Hell’s best day will still be put asunder by the wonder of heaven on earth.

I am now seeing that what has happened is already done. In other words, the damage has already been done, it just hasn’t appeared yet. Nonetheless, what the enemy has already done behind the scenes, behind the governmental veil of this nation, has already been defeated. In the end, no weapon formed against the people of God will prosper. Therefore, let me encourage you that no matter what transpires over the coming days, keep your eyes on the intended goal of heaven on earth. Because of faithful and enduring people like you, the kingdom of God is becoming more and more apparent everyday. Now the spirit of Daniel is quickly emerging. I know you understand that I am not referring to the literal person of Daniel, but the realm of prophetic vision that was operating in his life. This is one of the many keys of heaven that God is using to set this nation and others on their intended course.

Editor’s note: I’ve taken the liberty of slightly editing (and giving a title to) Michael Danforth’s recent public newsletter. I believe it is appropriate content for this publication. While not written as a public prophetic word, it has value as such; it encourages, informs & counsels a prophetic people. I also rather enjoy the transparency he models in describing the process he goes through in hearing God’s voice.

Your Transfer Has Begun!

A couple of nights ago the weather news in our area caught my attention. They said, “The high in our region would climb into the 60’s” which is a bit odd for this time of the year, to say the least. That is Fahrenheit to those who are Celsius. The newscast went on to make humor about the inability to predict just what kind of weather was going to be next. I was reminded of our meeting at New Sound Church in Mountlake Terrace, WA. On 11-11-11.

The Lord said, “The seasons at the end of this year 2011, and the coming year 2012, would become unpredictable.” He went on to say, “This will be a sign to you that the power of prediction is being transferred from the hands of the world into the hands of the people in My kingdom.” I have also seen the lack of prediction in the political world as well, especially when it comes to the next republican presidential candidate. All of the political analysts seem to have their opinion, but no one dares to predict the outcome.

Therefore, God is waving the flag of “prediction” toward the people of God. He is saying, “This is your opportunity to seize the power of prediction concerning My intentions in the earth. Your transfer has begun” I believe this power of transfer has always been available to whosoever will. However, few still dare to take the leap of faith, away from personal opinions, into the voice of the Spirit. Nonetheless, the power of transfer for this nation has already begun.

In 2012, one of my personal goals in life is to work myself further out of being a prophet to the people in the church, and become a prophet on behalf the people, in the kingdom of God. In other words, I want to be a prophet that speaks the word of the Lord from the midst of His people, to the world. This means, until the emphasis of prophecy to the people in the church becomes less; prophecy in the world will never reach its maximum potential. I pray you can hear this. In 2012, I will walk and live as a prophet greater than any other time in my ministry. However, it will be quite different than it has ever been before. This is the year for great and unusual exploits.

One of the ways to ensure that the body of Christ rises to the occasion in 2012 is to enable them to walk in a new field of prophetic utterance, beyond previous comprehension. In this year, it is imperative for the people of God to realize their fullest potential in the kingdom of God. God has given you a voice, His voice. As long as you view the voice of this prophet [any prophet] being greater than your voice, then you will always live beneath your destined purpose to become the voice of God in the earth.

This is not to say that we are not to respect those who have prophetically run the race before us in the Spirit of the Lord. In fact, showing great respect toward those who have laid down their life for the advancement of the kingdom of God is a necessary ingredient for the humility of God to take resident in our own life and generations to come. Which by the way, will be the enabling force that breaks the barrier of gifting alone, leading you into a realm of having your being in Him. I am not implying this realm has not already been given to us through the power of Jesus Christ; however, accessibility into this realm is still a very challenging factor in the body of Christ.

For some time now I have known that God is going to open unique doors in 2012. I have had a deep longing to prophetically release the word of the Lord in the market places. While the present platform at MTI has served as a unique place to equip, encourage, and speak into the nations, a tremendous desire to enter into cities and nations across the world has become a challenging force in my spirit.

This message came from Brother Michael at Mountain Top International, Yakima, WA

Standing Your Ground.

[Editor's Note: This post is decidedly not intended to tell you what to do in response to prophecies like those from our previous post. Nor is it intended to take the place of you hearing God's instructions for yourself. This is a competent prophetic word, but unlike others, this word comes out of the Northwest, from a community that is deeply committed to the Northwest and to God's purposes in this region. Read carefully, and judge for yourself. (1 Corinthians 14:29) ]

I know there are good intended people suggesting that we need to consider moving out of certain regions and cities that are in danger of being torn to pieces via earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or other possible disasters. Of course, ultimately, everyone needs to get the mind of the Lord for their own lives. However, I want to share with you a few reasons as to why I think it would make matters worse, not better, if you were to leave an area just because of the possibility of a threatening event.

On one hand, it certainly seems like the responsible thing to do is to take your family and run for your lives. However, just the sound of that casts a negative light on trusting in God, especially if you are living there because the Lord directed you there to begin with. I know this does not mean he cannot change his mind and have you move somewhere else for whatever reason. Yet, fear should never be the driving force behind our decision-making. Fear is like a cancer, once you give in, it keeps spreading from one area to the next.

Relocation certainly requires careful consideration. However, it requires more consideration than buying a car or house. The region you reside in carries with it the power of kingdom occupation. Whatever the measure of kingdom glory living in you, great or small, is also living in your city or state. It might not seem that way from a personal perspective, but looking at it from the perspective of multiplication it can have a profound impact, even if you are a traveling ministry or financial entrepreneur. Think about it. When you are home, you are praying, meditating on the word of God. You are listening to his voice; letting his thoughts occupy yours. Hopefully this describes you. Thus, your place of residence is housing the glory of the Lord. This is unquestionably no small thing. This kingdom authority stays with us regardless of our geographic position in the earth. Even when we are temporarily absent from our natural dwelling, there is still a degree of spiritual influence that is left behind.

During a time of great famine, not just in Egypt, but also across the world, God led Joseph into the house of Pharaoh. There he interpreted the dream of Pharaoh concerning the future, thereby gaining access to all that Pharaoh possessed. Joseph prepared the people for the future by helping them to store up for a famine that was to come. I think one of the most important things to note here was that God needed Joseph to settle down in that territory in order to carry out His plans for the people. Greater yet, through the occupation of Joseph God was able to pave a way for the nation of Israel to come and settle in the richness of that land. (Genesis Chapter 47)

It is important to understand that your place of dwelling has the potential to become a refuge for those in need. Regardless of any impending danger, the promise of Abraham’s seed has carried over to you and me. When famine came into the Land in Isaac’s day, Isaac received the blessings of God, which was based on the faithfulness of Abraham.

“Then the LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath, which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws." (Genesis 26:2-5)

Wow! The promise of God was given to Isaac through Abraham. Due to the conditions around him, Isaac was making plans to dwell in Egypt, but God said, “Live in the land I tell you to live in and the blessings of Abraham will be upon you.” What am I trying to say? The blessings of God is wherever He leads you, it is wherever you dwell. Regardless of any potential danger, the life of the Spirit in you and through you is dependent upon your obedience to the word of the Lord for you.

Now let’s get down to the heart of this message, “It’s time to stand your ground.” I believe the impending strategy of the enemy in this nation, and in certain parts of the world, is to get the people of God to exit the regions and states that God has sent them to dwell in. Why? Because, if the enemy can persuade the dwellers of God to leave a city or state, he has just increased his chances to carry out his evil intentions in that particular territory. I hope you can see just how huge this strategy really is. You are the sustaining power in the earth. You are the ones that are keeping the platelets from shifting in your land. The glory of God working through you is the refuge of any geographic area in the earth. You are the portals in your city that enable the angels of God to carry out the will of the Lord.

Can you hear this? You are not where you are at today by mistake. You are where you are at by divine appointment. Many years ago you moved to your city knowing God said, “Go.” Now, negative circumstances are trying to convince you otherwise. You know the voice of the Lord. I believe you heard Him rightly. Do not let the enemy turn your heart away simply because things are not going the way you hoped they would. Do not let him move you because of fear. Yes, I am speaking to those who have been gripped by fear. You have looked out across the world and said, “I don’t want to die like that. I don’t want my children to suffer an earthquake, flood, or volcanic eruption.” Of course you don’t. Who does? Nevertheless, remember, “God is our refuge, He is our fortress.”

Come on now. A spirit of survival is brooding over the earth right now. People are building survival shelters. Storing up food and water. They are being driven by fear, not wisdom. Do I think it is wise to store up food and water? Yes. I think it is always a good thing to prepare for any unexpected emergency. However, I have watched some of the Christian channels lately. They are profiting on your fears. I have seen this spirit at work in previous years, right before the year 2000. It is just as ugly and gross now as it was then.

Do not allow yourself to be seduced into a survivor’s mentality. You are an overcomer. You are more than a conquer. This means you are not here to just get by, or just get the victory; you are here to possess the land with the heart and mind of God. I stated in my latest video, “Transposing Circumstances” Lord send me to Japan! Did I mean it! Absolutely. Why? Because the spirit of David is in me. It’s the same spirit that is in this younger generation. I want to run into the middle of crisis, not away from it. I carry the solution of heaven in me. So do you. You have the courage of Joshua. You can take a few and overcome enormous odds.

The Expo of Heaven

During our last gathering here in Yakima Washington, I found myself caught up in a very intense revelatory realm of the Spirit. It was one of those times when you just speak what you are hearing and seeing by the Spirit as it is being revealed to you. I remember thinking; can they hear what I am hearing? Can they see what I am seeing? Can they feel the presence of this realm in their midst, or is it just me? Now obviously, because of the response of the people in that moment, and the emails I have received since then, there were many who undoubtedly had encountered a powerful change in the atmosphere. An intense weight of glory appeared in the room. Yet, I knew the people there could not hear what I was hearing. I remember feeling a sense of frustration, because I wanted everyone to experience the full impact of what was happening to me. This is not to belittle what others were hearing God say to them, but I knew I had been invited to a room where the strategy of the Lord was being discussed amongst angelic beings, so you can imagine my eagerness for an open invitation toward everyone present.
It appeared to be a building the size of an indoor coliseum with hundreds of u-shaped sections. There were groups of angels at each section or cubicle. I know this sounds crazy, but it was like a heavenly expo. I use the word “expo” because of the idea of something revealed or made available. It wasn't a display of things, but knowledge. Some would even term it as a war room. These u-shaped areas were scattered from one end of the building to the other. As I listened I could hear angels discussing various activities about the people of God on earth. Mind you, I was there, but I was not there. However, I knew the Lord had invited me to listen in on these groups as they discussed a variety of subjects and topics that pertained to the intentions of God on earth.

Some talked about how the frustrations of life were causing many people to fight against the plans of God for their lives. They were strategizing about how to get them to stop resisting God and surrender to the work of heaven that was being formed in them. They brought to light the reasons for some of their frustration. They discussed the different perversions of thinking. They said the likes and dislikes of God had become perverted in the minds of the people. They indentified a spirit of perversion that had seduced countless people into believing that a lot of their entertainment was ok, when in fact, it was not. They spoke of a powerful veil that would soon be lifted from people’s minds, enabling them to see things as they really are. (I will speak about this in more detail at a later date)

OCEAN TIDES

Another group was discussing the tides of the ocean. During their discussion, I could see tides going in and out. They talked about how these tides were taking out an old order, the order of man, and bringing in a new order, the order of heaven. While I was thinking that these tides were going to destroy a people that were part of an old order, without looking in my direction, I heard an angel say, “The purpose of our Lord is to destroy an old order without destroying the people who are out of order.” I suddenly felt the impact of his words and realized how important it was to fully understanding the intentions of God toward His people. They continued to discuss how the people, who were part of the old order, were being drawn out into deeper waters to give them opportunity to conform to a new life in the Spirit.

Their discussion went from spiritual tides to natural tides of the oceans waters. They spoke about a future change of the ocean tides, and that the changes of tides were directly related to the change in the spiritual climate. As they were speaking I could feel the salty air and I had a strong sense that it was happening right then. They also talked about a great number of people becoming more aware of the effects the kingdom of God was having on earth. I have to say; in moments like these, revelation, the knowledge of God, is one of the most intense highs I have ever known. There were times when I was so pressed with the knowledge of the Lord that my entire being felt like it was going to explode into oblivion. What is even more wild, I didn’t care, I even welcomed it. Yes! Come on God!

Let me remind you that most of what I am writing now, I spoke aloud at the moment it happened. I gave a moment-by-moment report as it occurred.

ROTATIONS

There were also discussions about different kinds of rotations, kingdom rotations that had been set into motion. Some rotations were in reference to earth, space, and the unique alignments that would occur because of these divine rotating sequences. Other rotations pertained to governmental leaders, some of which have been referred to as the “changing of the guard.” I want to emphasis the word “rotation” because when I heard this word it was highlighted around the earth. Whenever I see things like this, I know the common expression or meaning is about to be redefined.

This information quickly brought to mind the previous words the Lord had given to me about the rotation of the earth and the unusual alignments that would occur because of these shifts in the earth. This is happening right now. I can’t wait for you read about the recent activity that has caused an unusual alignment to occur in the cosmos.

HE IS GOING TO CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE

It is so interesting how the residue of that experience is still on me now. I must confess that this experience caught me by surprise. I was actually struggling a bit in worship when all of a sudden, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me, and there I was. In fact, there were other distractions going on in the room when this spiritual realm opened up. I think it is important to make note of this. We often think that God can only do what He wants do when everything is just right. Ha! I love it! I hope this is an encouragement to many of you reading this. You might feel like your life is on hold. You might be thinking that you have become numb to the movement of the Spirit. Maybe you are just overwhelmed with work and the cares of life. I have some great news for you. Just give Him your attention right where you are at, no matter what you are feeling, and He will catch you by surprise. This, He loves to do. ☺

It’s not uncommon to get caught up in the spirit while the people around you experience some of what you are experiencing, but not all of it. Will they know something is happening? Oh yeah, but they might now know exactly what is happening.

For example, when Paul was on his journey to Damascus to bring Christians back to Jerusalem to be punished for their crimes of faith, he had a life changing experience with the Lord. The Lord definitely caught him by surprise.

Paul writes:

"Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?' Therefore, I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' Moreover, He said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.' "And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.” (Acts 22:6-10)

The original translation does not quote the phrase, “and they were afraid.” It was added for greater readability. It just says, “And they saw the light.”However, notice how the others with him were impacted by the glory and power of God, even though they did not hear what God was speaking to Paul.

Later on Paul describes his experience to King Agrippa in this manner:

“I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language… (Acts 26:13-14)

Let me express that the unseen realm is for anyone who desires to encounter more of God. The heart of God is for His people to see what the world cannot see, so they too will believe and enter in.

TOPICS AND SUBJECTS

Another strategy being discussed was a plan to the turn the topics of our nation completely around. In other words, much of our nation and the world are governed by the topics of politics, war, death, and economics, just to name a few. However, a great plan has been devised to take the focus of this nation and other nations across the world, off certain issues that have entrenched the people of God into rut of mundane knowledge. God is about to unveil some glorious revelation in the earth so great, that it will force the media to focus on new things, wonderful things, things that are right, not just things that are wrong. The invisible is about to become visible in ways unimaginable. As I listened to this kingdom discussion, my heart leaped with great expectations. I was especially intrigued by the ways and methods that God was going to use to bring this to pass. I will share these things in more detail in the near future.

A NEW CURRENCY

Also, keep your eyes and ears on what they are currently saying about the US dollar. The Lord gave me a very specific word a couple years back about a new currency in this nation, and how it would increase the value of the dollar, not lessen it. We will be posting that word on our site to refresh your memory as to what God said, so you can be greater equipped with the purpose of God for this nation concerning this matter.

In this article, I just gave you a peek into what the Lord revealed to me. I am so excited to share more with you about the many other things that he showed me through this experience.
