My wife and I are entering into an awesome time in our lives and ministry. The Lord has moved me into full-time ministry and we are learning a lot already about the benefits and struggles that come from such an invitation. I am so excited that I am getting more time to spend with the Father during this season of my life. It is an honor and privilege to get such an awesome invitation from the Lord.
Recently I was in my office praying, when I had a vision from the Lord. I was walking into nightclubs, mental institutions and music venues, seeing the darkness that was overwhelming in these places. Then I was led by an angel into the ladies restroom where I saw a young lady crumpled up on the floor in a restroom stall. This young lady had overdosed on heroin and was breathing her last few breaths. I could hear her as she gasped for air; and in the Spirit I could hear what she was saying. With every breath the words, "Where are they?" echoed into the Spirit realm. To the naked human ear you could only hear the gasping, but the Holy Spirit gave me the ability to hear deeper.
As she died on the restroom floor, I saw a generation burst into the restroom, and a young girl scooped up this woman who had just died and started interceding and praying in tongues over her lifeless body.The woman who had just died of a drug overdose opened her eyes wide, gasped in air and was brought back to life. She was raised from the dead in this nightclub restroom. This was an incredible vision from the Lord and moved my heart in a place of prayer with the Lord. I just sat in my office sobbing and calling this generation forth for the sake of men and women just like this.
"The Creation Waits with Eager Longing for the Appearing of the Sons of God"
Later that same day, my wife and I were grabbing a quick dinner at the mall before I had to minister at an event. We were just sitting in the mall, when I caught someone out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and saw a young boy around the age of 12 or 14, and he was handicapped and needed to use a walker to get around. What caught my attention in the first place was this loud squeaking noise one of his wheels was making.
As I watched the young man, I saw he had a friend with him, walking alongside him. At first I thought, Man, that must be frustrating to that young man to have his squeaking wheel draw so much attention to him.Then the Holy Spirit let me hear in a new way, and while I heard the noise his apparatus was making, I could also hear in the Spirit the phrase,"Where are they?" It was all I could do to keep my composure while there. I asked the Holy Spirit, "What are You saying to me through this? Why am I hearing this same question today all around me?"
The Holy Spirit said, "They are asking for the appearing of the sons of God...the creation waits with eager longing for the appearing of the sons of God!"
"Are You Willing to Appear?"
We are called to dark places to bring the very light of Jesus. This Elisha generation will go into places that have been deemed not safe to go. There are those in the world that are loved of God and do not know Him yet. A people that are helpless and harassed and without a shepherd. There are broken, dying and hurting people that are waiting to be set free from bondage and in desperate need to receive the freedom of the glory of God poured out from His God.
Romans 8:20-21 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
As I was praying about all this, I told the Lord, "I will move out in faith and stretch myself for You, Lord. I get afraid just like others and say, What if I move out and nothing happens?" The Holy Spirit said, "Stop trying to excuse your disbelief and just step out of the boat. The only difference between you and the apostle Peter is that he got out of the boat. I have given you everything you need to follow Me and perform signs and wonders. Through Jesus, We have made all this accessible to you. We are looking for a platform of compassion in your heart to rest upon. Compassion will be the catalyst for signs and wonders, not curiosity, not hunger for power, not desire for fame, but rather the very Spirit of compassion for others."
See, I am tired of seeing people in public places that are hurting, distressed and harassed and not having the courage to lay hands on them. The truth is, we become so comfortable with laying hands on people in church services for hurting backs or knees, but where is the power that we need to have in order to perform life-changing miracles in the public arena? I know this is going on in other countries and even in select places in the U.S., but I am not satisfied with this...I have become passionate with a new desire for signs and wonders. We are to display them and demonstrate to the world the power and love of Christ Jesus.
So the question is: "Are you willing to appear?"
God is Looking for the Average, Everyday Christians to Become Active and Anointed
The Lord was speaking to me in prayer saying, "We are looking for the average, everyday Christians to become active and anointed. It is no longer a time where only a few well-known ministers will operate in power and authority. It is a time when the average will become the anointed."
The Lord wants us to know who we are and to operate out of that revelation. There is a mighty army that needs to know they are the sons of God spoken of in Romans 8. A few large ministries in the world cannot do all the work of the Kingdom of Heaven. You must stand up and say, "Yes, I will go for You, Father." We, as everyday Believers, must say in our hearts, "Here I am, Lord, send me." You do not have to be great to be greatly used.
The Lord says, "I am looking for Elishas to raise them up and endue them with power from on high. I want to bring forth a generation that is not afraid to get its hands dirty by loving the unlovely. No longer will a generation be weighed down by false church doctrine that has prevented them from going out and bringing light into dark places. Will you arise and appear to the hurting, dying, dirty, hungry, demonically possessed, and the heartbroken?" God is with you, generation, and this is His commission to you, sons of God!
