When the Next Wave Comes...
When I was on the ocean last weekend the winds were strong and the waves high. There were riptides. People were warned not to go in the water. Of course I went in. You knew that. And there were shark warnings. And it was cold. As I walked out until it was deep enough to swim, the waves were 5 feet high. The problem wasn't swimming, it was standing. Trying to walk out I was knocked over several times by the waves. Eventually I was in deep enough water. Down the beach there was a surfer. And some kayakers had made an attempt but capsized. Rough ocean.
Why am I telling you this? I was thinking about the next wave of revival we pray for. The wave of spiritual change coming to America. When it comes it won't come as a tiny ripple. One that doesn't disturb much. One that is safe. No sharks. No rip current. That's what the church would like, safe revival, no danger, nothing upset. Business as usual with more attendance and better offerings.
Yet that's not the message I got as I dried myself off. I heard Him say, "When the next wave comes it will knock most off their feet. It won't be safe. There will be dangerous currents and there will be hidden dangers. The result will be glorious, but the trip to the deep water will be treacherous. Most won't make it. Everything you thought would go with you into the deep water I am calling you into will be upset. The waves will knock them down and the current will wash them away".
I won't over interpret, but it's fair to say we are about to go into a time when the church we used to know will be tested and many, maybe most won't stand the test. The wave will knock them over. There will be deceivers. There will be sharks. There will be currents that if you fight them will kill you. I can't tell you if that was just for me, or if I was over-spiritualizing an event. I am only saying that the spiritual wave we all hope and pray for will be so big it will not be safe for religion.
Much of the religious establishment when threatened will come against it. It's already happening. The strongest attacks will come from those who were part of the last wave. Then have now built structures that are about to collapse from the coming wave.

Special Word for 2011
I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying: “I Am granting you access to secret chambers and dimensions of My heart. You are being armed with an arsenal of My ability and I Am adorning you with My favor like never before. Accept My word and align yourselves with what I have spoken. Anticipate the greatest hour that has ever existed. I Am awakening My church to a new day of harvest and purpose. It is time for you to activate the anointing I have put within you. Acknowledge Me in all of your ways and I will give you the desire of your hearts. This shall be a decade of acceleration and accommodating My promises a fresh and anew.”
“Be bold and do not shrink back from what I have promised you. Bombard heaven with your praise and I will break you through the walls of limitation and take you beyond the veil of My glory. My bride shall shine in this year like never before as I cause her to carry My radiant beauty in the earth. Brace yourselves for the best instead of preparing for the worst. Breakthrough is here and you have entered a new chapter and era as the people of God.”
“Consecrate yourselves, keep your hearts pure and your hands clean. Cling to my presence and cast off every care. I Am staking My claim and coming to My church like never before. As I spoke to Moses and Joshua so I speak to you: Do all that I command you to do and you will have great success. Commit yourselves to Me and allow Me to create a new culture of covenant within My church. Be consumed with compassion and commit to My great commission and I will cause nations to be converted as I have promised. Stay connected to a steady stream of the Holy Spirit and become conduits of My power”.
“Dare to dream again and declare that your day and time of destiny has arrived. The days of disappointment have come to an end. It is the dawning of a new day. Delight in the Lord and His promises. Do not doubt and you will not be denied. Be deliberate in your steps as I cause you to walk in new realms of delegated authority.Declare your full dependence upon Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. I am delivering the designs for your destiny and causing your dreams to become reality. I have determined that this will be a decade of double portions and double favor.”
“Expect to be surprised by expressions of My love and affection as I enhance My presence upon My people even in public places. I will be seen enthroned upon the praises of My church and I will release My glory in extraordinary ways in the year ahead. Prepare to be entrenched in victory as I continue to heap coals upon the head of the enemy. I Am equipping believers with the power and glory that was demonstrated in the Book of Acts. Expand your expectations and I will expand your territory, your impact, and your influence. I am sending the hosts of heaven to be embedded among you to listen to what you say and and carry out my word as you give the command.”
“The faith of the faithful shall release the works of God in action. I am calling forth the flames of fire to carry the fullness of My glory. Favor shall surround My people like a shield and I will fulfill My promises and bring My word into fruition. The fruit of the Spirit must line up with the gifts of the spirit in this next season. There is a new freedom coming upon My people to be who I created and called them to be. I am driving out fear and releasing fresh faith. Be like the great men of old who obtained a word from God and framed their world with it. Fortify the body, fall into formation as I send you into unchartered territories of favor.”
“Greater glory, greater works and greater purpose is being birthed in the heart of My church. Grab hold of my promises and go forth with great confidence. My goodness shall be seen in the earth this year and many that are in darkness shall gravitate to the living God. I have given you glimpses of My glory in the past but this year I shall consume you. Generations are coming into 2011. There is a generational move of the Spirit that is coming in this year focus on generation ministry and I will release the mystery hidden throughout generations.”
“Hold on to My word and hide it in your heart. You shall no longer be hindered. It is time for the heirs of salvation to have what I have spoken. I am putting greater honor upon My house. 2011 will be a year of humbling for many leaders in the church and on the world stage as I release My hand of mercy to bring forth the turning of hearts among the elect and the elected. Healing shall spring forth like the morning and the hope of many shall be restored as I heap the resources of My heart upon My people.”
“Increase has come upon you in 2011. Increase your capacity as I release to you the inheritance of the Kingdom. Your inheritance has already been secured and paid for. There will be an increase of opportunity, fruit, and souls in the year ahead. Operate out of your identity, be secure in who I created you to be and know that you are backed by the I Am. Your sphere of influence will be expanded as you are illuminated with a child like faith and innocence. Intercessors are being called to take their rightful positions and infiltrate the enemies territory. This shall be a year of financial intervention and Kingdom investment.”
“Joy unspeakable and full of glory is yours this year. My joy is your strength so do not let the enemy steal it. I am jealous over you and long for you to fall in love with me all over again in the year ahead. Judgment begins in the house of God pulpits and steeples shall be shaken with a greater sense of the holiness of God. Justice shall be served in this nation and the nations of the earth this year as I overturn the rulings of man and unravel the plans of the enemy.”
“Kingdom Keys are being released to Kingdom hearted people. I will give you the keys to unlock generations, nations, and resources for an end time harvest. Keep your eyes on My presence in this season because you have never been this way before.”
“Lead with love, listen with love, learn with love, lavish with love. Pursue love and I will make you irresistible. Love is the key, love is the answer, love is your greatest tool, and love is your greatest weapon. Love the unlovable and I will give you cities, regions, and nations.”
“Multitudes are about to be moved from darkness to glorious light. My mercy is going to release a movement of miracles in the earth as I manifest My majesty and might in the earth. Move beyond the ordinary and maximize the moment I have created for you.”
“Nothing is impossible for those who believe and I am launching you far beyond what you have ever thought was possible. I am releasing My nature upon those who are called by My name.”
“Open heavens shall abound in 2011. This will be known as a year of open doors and unexplainable open doors of opportunity for those who have abandoned themselves to obedience.”
“Perfected praise shall spring forth out of the mouths of children. The pure in heart shall see My face. Be persistent, precise, and patient and you will posses the promise. Peace is power in 2011. This will be a year of prophetic encounters, provision encounters, and power encounters.”
“Quit worrying and let your faith be quickened. I am quashing the attacks of the enemy and causing the earth to quake with the knowledge of the glory of God.”
“Restoration is on My lips this year. I Am bringing about the restoration of all things including the restoration of rest for My people. Release what I have deposited inside of you. Rely on My power and not your own. Jesus the Redeemer is coming to redeem, restore, renew, and rejuvenate His people. Rivers of resources are being released to the Remnant that will build by the Spirit.”
“Seek me in the secret place and I will tell you secrets that you have never known or heard so take time to sit at My feet. Salvation is here. This is a year of household salvation! I am changing the landscape of your surroundings I am releasing a saturating presence upon those willing to soak in my presence. Surrender your ways for My ways. Seize the moment as I continue to secure your future. Spirit led will replace seeker sensitive and the sons of thunder shall be heard loud and clear.”
“Trust Me during this year of transition. Your trials are being turned into triumphs. I am crowning you with truth and taking you from grace to grace and glory to glory. This is a year of transformation for many churches, cities, and nations. Taste and see that the Lord is good. This is your time to take back what was stolen. The Holy Spirit is coming to teach and train His people as He thrusts them out to do what has never been seen or done before.”
“Unwrap the gifts I have placed inside of you. God is unifying and fortifying His church. I am ushering you into a year of unusual and uncommon encounters with the Holy Spirit. He is uprooting, unraveling, and undoing the plans of the enemy on behalf of His people.”
“Victory is at hand! Men of valor are rising like Gideon to defeat the works of darkness. Virtuous women are taking their place of value in the body and victims are becoming victorious.”
“Watch me fulfill what I have said. The waiting is over and I am moving you into realms of fulfillment and completion like never before. I am washing over My body with rivers of refreshing. Be willing to be stretched, challenged, and changed. This will be a year that the whispers of heaven will be heard.”
“Expel all thoughts of failure. I have called you people of excellence, to soar like eagles and to see what others could not. Exhaust yourself in your pursuit of My presence and I will show you mighty deeds. I am expanding your territory. Exalt me and lit me up and I will draw all men unto me.”
“Yesterday is gone so let it go. Yield yourself to me. Let your soul say yes to what I am calling you to do. I am releasing the anointing that destroys the yoke. You have been anointed and called to make history and change the world around you. This is your day, your time, and your year to go beyond where you have ever been.”
“Be zealous for good works and let the zeal of the Lord be seen upon you and provoke others to jealousy because of your passion for Him and His love for you.”

Passing the Test
from Graham Cooke
Who has felt in their spirit they have passed a test? You know you have gone through a testing time and you have passed the test.
God is doing two things in this whole area of trust. He is teaching us how to hold on to him in every day situations. But God also has taught us how to stand firm despite the circumstances around us. You have learned to press in to him. But the second thing he's taught us is the importance of God trusting us. We are becoming people who God can trust. It's very important for us to go to a higher level, God must trust us.
Many people want to go to a higher level, but they have not learned to pay their dues. They don't persevere, they don't hang in.
When God wants you to go to a wider dimension, into a bigger anointing, he pushes and squeezes you through a very narrow opening. Imagine it this way: you are in one large room and there's no doorway no windows and the mostly way out of it is a tunnel... and you must crawl through it on your knees. It's humbling and it's frustrating. The only way you can get from one big space to even a bigger space is to get squeezed by God. And what he does this gets not the good stuff against squeezed out, it's the idiotic stuff. It's our pride, fears; it's our wanting a shortcut. Always wanting an easy road. We get all sorts of stupidity pressed out of us. We get pressed because we are in the wine press of God.
And then God pops you out into this big space. Then you don't know what to do with yourself. The squeezing is a test itself. Especially when you've gone from a high place in the spirit to no place in the spirit. You used to operate at a higher level and then it seemed like everything got taken away. And you got endlessly squeezed. Sometimes that's just how God prepares you for the real place wants to give you. So he gives you this place of ministry, which seems big to you but is small to him. Just when you're doing really well, it seems like the bottom falls out of your world, and you drop into this hole, and God squeezes you. And all this time he's been preparing you for a higher place. God is very particular about who he trusts. So there are lots of not-so-subtle tests that he gives you, to see if he can trust us.
The first thing is, that the Lord wants to thank you for persevering.... in passing that test. Some of you are standing here not really sure that you have passed the test. He knows what you're thinking. (Laughter)
If you're thinking that maybe you should not be standing, it is often a sure sign you should be standing. There is a grace on you guys. The Lord says thank you for enduring, for losing your reputation, and for some of you, thank you that you finally stopped bitching about it. Stop complaining about it.
Take a deep breath. Right now Lord just restore, restore our spirits, restore our soul, refresh our spirit. Renew our mind, in Jesus name. The Lord wants to say to you the time of testing has come to an end. Some of you have passed at 90%, some at 80%... the Lord isn't going to tell you what the passing grade is. You will recognize when the test comes around again and you'll pass. And you'll pass it quickly... it will just be a short test. The Lord is going to bring you into a wide, and broad, and spacious place. Add to that which you had... it will be returned to you, with interest, with stuff added. The Lord will restore the anointing, plus. Whatever you are moving in, what ever you are traveling in, plus. So expect things to open up for you, expect to be in this wide place, and it will be odd because you are so used to being restricted, it will be a bit weird for you.
When I got out of prison, I could not walk more than eight steps without running into a wall. It took me ages to get used to the fact that the doors behind me didn't automatically lock. You're going to be in this broad spacious place where opportunity will come to you, and opportunities for growth, opportunities for increase especially in your relationship with the Lord. That's the place you need to start. In your own devotional time, let the Holy Spirit broaden you out, so you're going to need to spend a little more time in your devotional experience where faith and trust will begin to grow. Touch your eyes so that we can see opportunities that come. Give us a spirit of wisdom and Revelation to see the opportunities, let us see the hand of God at work. And I just pray peace over you guys. We are just releasing things into your life.
It doesn't really matter now what's your feeling, that's not the evidence. You receive it in your spirit. Stand there in your will and receive it. Just say yes to the Lord. You have been so squeezed and in that place of pressure for so long you haven't felt the presence of the Lord in a while. It may feel the same as it always did, except it's different because now you have a word that this season is over and you are coming into a broad place. All those feelings will catch up with you. Some of you may be having an experience now where you feel the hand of God on you. Some of you feel nothing, but I promise you your feelings will catch up with you. You just need to trust. Some of you may need to take the trust test again. God is with you and God is for you. You're out of a confined place and in a place of release. Of new favor.
We proclaim release, we proclaim favor, we are coming into that broad place, that spacious place where you're going to connect with us... eyes to see and ears to hear. I pray Lord that you will begin to put things together in our life, that you will make connections for us in the spirit, and give us lots of tokens of your presence in these next few weeks. Things will start to happen to us that have not happened before, an increase of your presence, an increase of joy, an increase of favor, and that things will begin to happen outside of our ability to create. I pray for a spirit of exploration, that we will start to explore this wider place. Explore. Let's just wait here a moment.
When God opens up a bigger space for you, the first thing you're going to do is explore. You're not supposed to occupy. It's not about seeing something, taking hold of it and staying there, and unwrapping that whole thing so that you totally understand it... it's about you going out and exploring and when God shows you something, it's about putting your name on it and going out and exploring some more.
It's a little like the old land rushes... in the West. You go out to those new places and mark your claim... you stake your claim, carry on... and you keep on exploring until you feel like you put out enough claim stakes and then you go back and explore the territory you have claimed. So the first thing I want you to do is go explore this new territory. Explore this new land. It's a bit like the spies in Canaan, look at the fruit... look at what's available, look at what's out there. Keep a journal of this journey in the spirit... right now and the things that you feel God has given you and keep exploring for a few months, and gradually what will happen is that will slow down and in God may take you back to the beginning to the first thing that you saw.
Keep asking questions... and ask: what's the favor here on this area? Write that down.
Father we just pray blessing in the name of Jesus, we asked Lord for an anointing of your Holy Spirit just to rest... to rest on us. In the name of Jesus and give us rest, rest in our minds, rest in our hearts, rest in our souls. Rest as we explore. In Jesus name. Lord thank you that you're going to begin to open up this territory in the spirit... in the name of Jesus.

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.
