Prophetic word for 2014

 As I write this word for 2014, it is my deepest desire to correctly articulate what the Holy Spirit has given me for the New Year. 1 Corinthians 13:9 says “For we know in part and we prophesy in part” with that understanding, this is my portion for the body of Christ.

Spirit, Soul & Body

 The Spirit of the Lord is bringing healing to the Church as a whole person this year spirit, soul & body. God is bringing the Church into a new alignment with His will and purposes that will greatly affect His people for the good. The areas of your life that have not been in agreement with the Holy Spirit are going to be brought to light this year for the purpose of healing, restoration and deliverance. Where there have been wounds from the past that have hindered your ability to function in wholeness, God is doing a deep work that will produce abundant life in His people.

The Apostle Paul wrote the following:

1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is expanding His kingdom into many places of influence where the Church needs to be ready to demonstrate Gods love. This is why there needs to be wholeness in the body of Christ, so we can give out of the depth of love that has been poured into our hearts through Christ. Its time for the Church to be whole!

Overcoming dualism

 God is dealing with wrong understandings that have created conflict within the Church about the spirit and the soul. There have been dualistic teachings that have kept many people in bondage to a performance based relationship with God. This kind of teaching has been harmful to the body of Christ because it separates the spiritual from the natural, and creates a wrong understanding of how God views the individual person. Many people have been taught that the spirit is good, but the soul and body are corrupt, needing to be brought into submission to the spirit. This understanding is incorrect, and does not take into account that the spirit and soul are deeply intergraded and do not function apart from one other. God wants the Church to stop living their lives miserably for Him, to stop living as though we are not pleasing God because of a lack of spiritual performance (not enough prayer, not reading the bible, or denying self). There are multiple layers to what this looks like, but I feel like God is going to give the Church greater revelation regarding how much He loves us (our entire being) and how to function as a whole person in the earth.

Led by the Spirit

 The Father has been looking for sons & daughters that will yield to the leading of His Spirit. This will become clearly evident in the days ahead, as God is going to display His purposes through those that are led by the Spirit of God, and not by the spiritual climate in the world.  The leading of the Holy Spirit is going to take on a new dimension in 2014, because many people are being freed from patterns of living and wrong thinking that have hindered their walk with God; He is going to free many for the purpose of leading many.

Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

Character matters

 2014, will be a time when the character of Christ is going to come to the forefront of the Church. There has been a great imbalance regarding our focus on the power and works of God, yet operating without the character of God. God wants His Church to function with all the resources of heaven, but He also wants His people to function with His character.

Character can be defined as the way someone thinks, feels, and behaves, someone’s personality. God is going to develop the character of Christ in His people that desire to be more like Him, this will require a much needed sensitivity to the Holy Spirit as He shows us the things that need changed in our hearts and minds. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is going to appear in the lives of Gods people this year in an extraordinary way, due to a willingness to yield to His inward working.

God is also in the process of redefining what ministry looks like, He is getting to the core of our value system, regarding what we do. Ministry by definition is about serving others, not about serving yourself. Everything Jesus did was for the benefit of others, from turning water into wine, to washing the disciple’s feet; He taught that whoever wants to be greatest must become a servant of all. I feel like God is going to give us new perspective regarding ministry, He is reveling the motives and intentions of the heart as we move forward into maturity.

The last will be first

 We have entered a time where the last will be first, and the first will be last. Many people have bypassed Gods way to get to the front of the line in regard to “success” at any cost. There have also been many people that have chosen to take the lowest seat; and have not attempted to be first in line. Because of this decision, not to run to the front of the line, they will not be passed by in this new season. God is going to promote many people who have been patiently waiting their turn. He is going to exalt those who have humbled themselves, and bring low, those who have been unwilling to humble themselves.

Luke 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

There has been a refining fire moving through the body of Christ that is now causing a deep humility to flow out of the hearts of Gods people. This humility is an entrance into a deeper intimacy with the Lord. God is going to exalt those who have chosen to humble themselves over this past year, as He has been doing an inward work in His people that have yielded their hearts to Him. (Luke 14:7-11)

Identity being restored

 We have entered a time of full restoration, as the Father is restoring the identity of His sons and daughters who have forgotten who they were, and have departed from His will. The enemy has attempted to destroy the lives of many people, and keep them from accomplishing what God has purposed for their lives. The Lord is intervening on their behalf right now, and bringing to their remembrance the Fathers love for them. This is a time where those that have seemingly departed from the Fathers will, and chosen a path in life that has led them to destruction, are going to “come to their senses” and return to their Fathers house. The Father is going to place the robe of identity and the ring of authority on many sons and daughters that have walked away and been hurt in the body of Christ. He is restoring their identity, because they belong to Him. (Luke 15:11-32)

Financial independence

 2014 will be a year of financial independence for many people. There are wise investments, and financial breakthroughs that God will give insights and strategy for, if we are willing to wait for His leading. 2014 will be a year when multiplication comes upon many people’s finances; as we are entering into a time when people are going to experience what it truly means to be debt free. Many people are going to experience ownership for the first time, I feel like there will be houses, lands, cars, investments that are paid for in full this year, giving people full ownership of what they posses.

In early 2013 the Lord spoke to me about the price of silver, that it was a good time to buy and invest, I believe there are many opportunities to increase financially if we ask the Lord to show us.

Love breakthrough

 The Holy Spirit is highlighting 1 Corinthians chapter 13 this year. Because there has been a surface understanding of love that the Church has demonstrated to the world, I feel like we are going to experience a deeper revelation and demonstration of love this year that will transform us into a greater expression of Jesus Christ. God has given the Church a clear blueprint of what love looks like as we read the verves below:

 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.

Jesus Christ is the complete definition and fulfillment of true love; I believe the Church is going to experience a love breakthrough this year that will change our priorities and reshape our focus back to His character and likeness.

Blessings,
Josh Crofton

Peter Wagner and Cindy Jacobs: 2010 ACPE Council's Word of the Lord for 2010

by C. Peter Wagner, Cindy Jacobs and more
Jan 21, 2010

This is the word given through a compilation of the prophetic releases and consensus of the ACPE. Some of the members include: Bishop Bill Hamon, Sam Brassfield, Harry Jackson, Rick Ridings, Greg Black, Will Ford, Mike Jacobs, Peter Wagner, Mary Glazier, Sharon Stone, Cindy Jacobs, John Sanford, Beth Alves, Gwen Shaw, and Doris Wagner.

There are differing variables that can affect the timing and/or coming to pass of these words:
1. All prophecy not contained in Scripture is conditional.
2. The timing of when the prophecy comes to pass may occur over a longer period of time than one calendar year. Some take many years to fulfill.
3. It is possible that prophetic warnings will cause either the person or nation to repent and so turn away the judgment prophesied. Biblically, this happened when Jonah prophesied to Nineveh and the city repented, causing God to relent.

Key Scripture Passage for 2010:
"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place." 2 Corinthians 2:14 

2010 is the year in which we will win. This is a year to triumph in Christ and diffuse the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

2010 is the year to wake up. It is time to wake up and see both what the enemy is trying to do and what God wants to do through us. This is a year when God will help us "see" in a supernatural way those things that we have felt like we could not understand.

The Year of the Wind
2010 will be a year of the wind. There is a new Pentecost about to be poured out upon His people who are hungering for more of Him. The wind of the Holy Spirit is going to blow us in the right direction and into the place that God wants us to be. We will see glorious manifestations of His divine power with signs and wonders.

Many nations will feel the impact of this mighty wind. Indonesia will once again be swept over by the Holy Spirit, along with Thailand, Poland, North Korea, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Alaska will see a move of the Holy Spirit among the Native Alaskans.

New wells of revival will break out and many will drink from the wells of salvation.
Many will teach on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are going to need to see them all function in the Church in this day to fulfill our mission.

We will see a special increase of the word of wisdom. The word of wisdom is supernatural insight into what to do that will secure our future. The manifestation of this gift will be such that from one moment to the next we will have the plan or "road-map" on what we are to do for our future.

Third Great Awakening
We believe that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that came on November 11, 2009, in Kansas City signaled the beginning of a Third Great Awakening that we prophesied would come to America and the world. November 11th was the day that the Pilgrims made covenant with God in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Many intercessors across the nation are crying out to God for the nation to once again become "a city set on a hill." If we continue to pray and call out to God, the nation will shift.

Evangelism
Many churches will wake up and evangelize the lost in their cities and nations. Thousands will be swept into the Kingdom through new "power evangelism" movements where people are supernaturally shown that God is real.
Churches who haven't baptized in years will begin to see many people come to Christ. Dead churches will become resurrected under the fire and power of the Holy Spirit's working and many lost will be swept into the Kingdom of God.

Breaking Debt Cycles
Key Scripture passage:
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me
to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Luke 4:18 

We felt that the Lord had given us an "eye of the storm" time period to get out of debt. In fact, as we discussed the many prophetic warnings about a second economic shaking, we felt that the Lord in His mercy had extended a period of grace to His people because many were not ready for another shaking.

Supernatural ability to get out of debt is being released. If you will start paying your debts, even in very small amounts, God will supernaturally get behind your efforts and help you get out of debt.

Eradication of Systemic Poverty
It is time to fulfill the first message that Jesus preached and bring justice to the poor. God spoke to us about social justice missionaries who are called to help eliminate systemic poverty. There is a marriage of righteousness and justice, and God will raise up those who are called to fight such issues as human trafficking as well as poverty.

The call will marry its mandate to win the lost to its justice mandate. Churches will begin to model taking care of the poor in their midst, as well as putting systems into place to help teach their people how to get out of debt.

Clash of Kingdoms
Just as the year before, the Lord spoke to us about the great "clash of kingdoms" taking place around the world—the Kingdom of God and the empire-building spirit of Islam. Satan is on the march to build empires.

Be aware and watch and see what is around you. Home-grown terrorism will be on the rise. There is a move toward "civilization Jihad" around the globe in countries that have democratic rule.

Judgment and Testing
Key Scripture passage:
So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, "Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king's delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants."
So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days. And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king's delicacies. Daniel 1:11-16

Daniel and his friends were tested for 10 days, and then they had favor with the King. They were found to be 10 times better than the others. This will happen for those who are faithful to stand in times of testing. In the end, you will rise above all the others and advance.

Nehemiah
Ten times words were spoken to stop Nehemiah's work on the wall. Do not be intimidated by the seeming onslaught of the evil one. Finish the task that God has put before you. God spoke to us over and over in our meeting that we are not to be intimidated in the coming season of conflict and testing.

Worship Activism
Key Scripture passage:
"And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, for His mercy endures forever."
Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another." 2 Chronicles 20:21-23 

We will win through worship. It is the key to triumph! There is a marriage of worship and activism taking place where, just as in the days of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Church will march and sing.
New battle hymns will be written along the lines of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." His Truth is Marching On, and there is a call for biblical truth through worship.
Worship will break open the heavens, and young people will heed the call to be "musicianaries" and go to the ends of the earth to start 24/7 houses of worship.
Great joy will break out in the midst of worship as God "laughs" at His enemies through His people (Psalm 2, Psalm 149).

Great Conflict
For each Kingdom advance this year we will see the enemy "pushing back" and stirring up conflict around us. Do not be afraid of confrontation and conflict. Fight intimidation. Run toward the Goliaths in your life and remember that you are called to triumph in this year.

Activism will manifest as new armies of the Lord are being raised up. Find your place and let your voice be heard.

Over the next years in the United States there will be a new third political party that will arise. The Lord is preparing His leadership for this party that will come out of the citizens of the United States groaning under the corruption of the old guard. Many leaders are being tested and tried in the fire right now who will take leadership in due time, for it will begin not so much as a political party but a movement. The movement will become a party in time.

Season of Transition
This is a season of transition for the Body of Christ. For the United States, it will be a time of transition for either good or evil. The nation is on the "cusp" of it remaining a civilization as we know it. It is up to this generation to see it go back to the original vision of our founders. A woman has to dilate to ten centimeters to give birth. The years 2010 and beyond will be a time of intense pressure, but will result in the birthing of many new things.

God is also going to rearrange His people for the coming days' work. There are some who will make sudden

geographic moves. Others will transition in their jobs and careers. There will be special grace poured out upon those who are obedient to allow God to reposition His troops. For those who are not making a move but are seeing people that you love make changes, God will also help you transition into this new season and send new help for you.

Transition into the new season, get your vision and house in order. Make sure that you are properly aligned for the new battles ahead.

Be Prepared
Key Scriptures passages:
Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13)
Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)

Rearrange and "right-size" for victories and breakthroughs. Become more focused in your core purpose. Live a simpler life. Do not "hoard" what another person can use. This is the time to share and take care of each other. Make sure that the Body of Christ can arise with the call of the Bridegroom, as the five virgins who were ready.

We must begin to think more as a community than simply individualistically. Put your house in order and arrange for the next season. Mobility is the key in the Kingdom today. Many that are not "right-sized" will see the loss of buildings, lands, etc. If this has happened to you, God will help you begin again.

There is a season of pruning for growth. The pruning can, and at times will, seem painful, but trust that God is working all things together for your good.

Barbara Wentroble and Chuck Pierce Portland.

From 1999

Barbara: And I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying surely this is an hour that I shall bring a change to this area, for I the Lord, am even now positioning my bow, saith the Lord. I am even pulling from my quiver arrows says the spirit of the Lord, and I shall cause those arrows to be shot forth from my bow in a fresh new way. For in days past in this area, when I have tried to release the arrows of my Spirit, my people of this area know that there have been contrary winds that have come into this place, into this area, and they have caused even those arrows to be shot in wrong directions… they have caused those arrows to fall to the ground before they have accomplished their purposes.

But I would say this is an hour, says the Spirit of the Lord, I’m going to cause a mighty wind of my Spirit to blow through this area, and the Lord says, No longer will my arrows fall to the ground, but God says, by the power of my Spirit, and through the fresh wind of my Spirit, I shall cause those arrows to be shot straight, says the Lord, and they shall hit the target that I have purposed for them.

The Lord says, I would cause them to fall even into the places of government in this area, says the Spirit of the lord. For the Lord says, I’m going to bring about such change that you will begin to see even the laws of the land begin to change, says the Spirit of the Lord, for I am releasing arrows from my bow, and the Lord says, No contrary wind will be able to withstand the fresh wind of my spirit, as I begin to blow in this places.

Chuck: And I would say unto you, the enemy has removed the sharpness of the arrows of this region, saith the Lord, but I am moving on the 4 state region around this. I say I am raising up in northern California, and I am beginning to do a sharpening work saith the Lord. I say I am calling my people in Idaho to rise up in this hour, and I am sharpening their arrow. I say that which is in Seattle that has resisted my movement, I say I am going to shake until they begin to rise up and come together. And I say even in the next 9 months they will be coming together in that Seattle area. I say that even in the next 4 months I will release the anointing that is necessary to cause Seattle to awaken and to cause the transference of wealth to begin.

I say to you I am shaking and I am sharpening, and I say to you the boldness that has been removed, it is now going to come forth in this region. I say it will roar like a lion. I say it will come out of the woods. I say that which has been hidden and lost is now rising up again saith the Lord. And I say to you, Be bold and be powerful and speak forth, for I say I have a message from this region that is going to shake this nation, and I say, no longer will it be hidden, but I will draw it together; I will put it into place, and I will shoot it forth, and that spirit of control that has tried to control my destiny in this region, I say that over the next 12 months. I’m going to shake it, it’s going to fall, and I say you will be liberated in a new way. You will be known for dancing in this region, and for my dancing hand, and I say my dancing hand will come from this region and begin to shoot forth and penetrate the nation, saith the Lord.

This is the region I have called to shake Mormonism, and I will say I will shoot it forth. There will be such light and liberation from this 4 state region that I say it will cause a shaking in Mormonism and I say there will be many converts saith the Lord.

Barbara: And the Lord says, I did not say the last would be first? And that though this has been an area that has been known to be last in evangelism and in church attendance, and church growth, I say I am about to change things in this area says the Lord, and no longer will you be recorded as last, but I’m going to cause to be first in this that I am doing, says the Spirit of the Lord. I’m changing the statistics, says the Lord, and I now do call you into a fresh new place of promotion. No longer shall you be the last. No longer shall you been known as those who remain behind, but I say I shall cause a mighty army to rise up in this place. And they shall walk forward, and they shall embrace the fresh new things that I am doing, and they shall even model the things that I want to do in other places and in other nations saith the Lord.

So I say I do not call you last. I call you first, says the Spirit of the Lord. Chuck: And I say a liberation is coming from this region to the Asian peoples of this land, saith the Lord. I say they will be drawn here and they will be sent out with my anointing. I say I am going to cause liberation of their giftings, and their giftings and my anointing that I have placed in them will then begin to flow from their mind into my Spirit. I will position those that are converted in this region in strategic places. I say the Esther anointing will fall on the Asian people in this region, and I say it will go forth. It will remain hidden for 4 years, and then it will arise. I say it will come forth and it will cause a transference of wealth in this land saith the Lord.

Barbara: And the Lord would say I am going to destroy the assignment of death that has been over this area says the Spirit of the Lord. For that death has tried to kill my ministers, tried to kill my churches, tried to kill the move of my Spirit. The infirmity that has been with that death, God says, I’m about to break that thing. God’s going to loose such healing in the area says the Spirit of the Lord… Healing and restoration. For the Lord says, no longer will this place be known as Grateful Dead, but I say it is going to be people who are gratefully alive in the things of the Lord.

Chuck: And the Lord says, I would even use this church as gathering for healing. I say healing teams will come in here, they will be re-anointed, and they will be sent out. I say that I am raising up 5 key churches throughout this 4 state area, and they will begin to receive my anointing and they will be known as centers. They will be known as that which sent forth the new. For I say the new has now come this day, and because the new has come, and because you have gathered, the new will now go out from here saith the Lord.

End of prophecy over the Northwest region. Barbara’s comment:

I encourage you intercessors now: You have your assignment. Get a copy of that prophetic word and begin to pray over that and begin to pray the will and the word of God into this area.

Dated October 30, 1999. If I remember correctly, this came at an Intercessors conference at City Bible Church in Portland. This was transcribed from the tapes (remember those?) of this conference. As of the posting date, I have been unable to find this word anywhere else on the Internet. --Editor.

Prophecies over Canada's Lower Mainland

Prophetic Words For Vancouver at Red Deer Conference

March 5th 2002 Chuck Pierce

....and I want to say to you, the Lord is about to move on British Columbia. If you're from Vancouver, get ready! There is a shaking. There is an incredible shaking coming into the Vancouver area, so get ready for a move. There is a penetration that is coming in there. There is something that is going to bring in that place national attention to that area. It will be a window of opportunity for you. That's a key, key time to look for.

As a matter of fact, there is also going to be a shake up in the financial system of this nation that's coming. And in the shake up of the financial system you're going to see certain people at a very high level being exposed. It's going to be the entry way in for God's plan in government, civil government, to begin to get in place and sweep acrosss this nation. Get ready, big changes are coming, but you as the church have to respond. You have to move right.

March 6th 2002 - Cindy Jacobs speaking over Pastor George Johnson of Harvest City Church, Vancouver

Just when I looked at you, I thought - faithful, faithful. The Lord shows me that you are going to see a revival my brother. And that you are hungry, you're really hungry for more, you're really hungry for God, and that you've reached a point in your life of shift and transition.

The Lord says : not only you, but those you are associated with, are going to see a move of the Holy Spirit. You're going to see God come to your city. You're going to see God come. And you're going to see God come to Russian speaking people, and the Lord is going to set you in a high place and the Lord is going to give you favour. This is the acceptable year of the Lord. Not everyone will understand. Some will not understand even the changes you're going to make.
But the Lord says: I will never leave you and I will never forsake you. I'm going to be with you in this new wave of the Holy Spirit. And the Lord says: ride that wave. And your generations will rise up and call you blessed says the Lord, and the youth will rise up and call you blessed. This shift is of me, says the Lord.

Mel Mullen:

Let me give you some inside information. This man pastors a church in Vancouver and remember last night there was a word about the revival that is coming to Vancouver.

Cindy Jacobs:

Let's agree : Father, for Vancouver, you want to visit, oh there has been so much prophecy about revival coming to Vancouver, so much prophecy! Lord we agree! For a revival to come crashing on the shores of British Columbia.

Oh, the Lord shows me it's the whole province, the whole province, the whole province! And that the Lord is going to cause you to plant, plant, plant, plant! You're going to plant churches, you're going to have the anointing of increase and increase and increase.

Enlarge the place of your tent says the Lord! I'm going to give you new property. I'm going to give you what you need says the Lord. I'm going to give you millions of dollars to build. I'm going to cause you to build a big barn and the Lord says you're going to heal a schismed city that is hurt and broken hearted, for I'm going to cause you to come with the father heart of God in the broken heart of a move of God, says the Lord.
