Coming Out of the Cave

Over the years many prophetic types and intercessors have spoken time and time again about hearing sounds of the earth groaning...here and there, sounds of the moving earth...

At the same time Abba has been realigning His children, hiding his children, taking the off the grid and hiding them under the protection of His wings...

And like in the days of old the children have seen themselves "alone" unaware of all that He has hidden...remaining quiet least they be found out....

BUT NOW the earth and the children SHALL sound forth in a growing cadence of His voice.

For the days of remaining quiet, of remaining silent, of consistent hiding are coming to an end...slowly but surely He is bringing forth the hidden prophets from the caves to show His power through the sounds of Heaven...
 
However, DO NOT EXPECT THINGS TO BE AS THEY WERE...for this is a new season where the sounds of heaven bring forth the power and the life He has declared over us...
 
Power and Glory are His forever and ever...
 
Enlarge and magnify your expectations for the days of thinking small are done and shall be forgotten for as big as our God so SHALL BE THE MANIFESTATION OF HIS POWER AND GLORY...AMEN AND AMEN

The Point of No Return

MONUMENTAL SHIFTS
Monumental shifts have been occurring within me and with others who are seeking the kingdom of God first. Everything Holy Spirit has revealed as to His purpose and plan for this new season is coming forth as He said. The old order has passed and His new order has come. His is not an order as men have considered order, but the order of the the Kingdom of God, the order of the sons of God being revealed. We are witnessing the culmination of things that all creation has groaned for. Holy Spirit has spoken a clear testimony as to what He is doing. He has spoken very clearly in a regional gatherings [including in the Northwest -ed]. It has been made clear we have reached a point of no return. A new day is here, we can never go back. I would like to share some things that came forth from those gathering that are "markers" of season we have entered.

1# MOSES IS DEAD Moses is dead and Joshua (Jesus Christ) is now leading the way into the promised land. Moses represents hierarchal leadership structure in which people have become dependent upon man to lead them and hear God for them. No more do men depend upon other men's wisdom and anointing to carry them forward. The Word Himself is taking us into the land of promise. His leadership is seen in communion and relationship with brothers and sisters, not a top down leadership from the past. He speaks to us through others as we come into divine relationship with them; but it is He who speaks to each one individually and leads them by means of the inward witness of Holy Spirit.

#2 THE ARK HAS MOVED The wanderings of the wilderness have ended. The Ark and the Glory are moving across the Jordan river and there is no grace for those who would stay on the other side. His blessing is where He is, and He has moved on from the ways and structures of the past that have at one time carried the Ark of His presence. The understandings and operations of the previous age are superseded by the fulfillment of the promise and WILL NOT proceed into this NEW DAY of the Lord. Organizations, leaders, and followers that are unwilling to move will be left without grace if they will not move with the Spirit. Father will still give way for those that repent, but the Ark is in the river Jordan and will be leaving the dry river bed. Men must respond and follow or they will be left on the other side.

#3 LEAVING THE CAVE OF OBSCURITY Like David, we have left the isolation of our caves in the wilderness to find connection with others Father has hidden away for this hour. He is connecting His body; and the bones and flesh are coming together to form the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ upon the earth. Christ Jesus is being known upon the earth in His people as they manifest on earth His very nature and authority as seen in Christ. Christ is emerging upon the earth as His people embrace death to the old life and partake of resurrection life that empowers, aligns, and connects them with others they are destined to be ONE with.

#5 SEPARATION OF ISMAEL AND ISAAC There has come a clear distinction of what is birthed of flesh and what is birthed of the Spirit. There is separation of those who operate by the arm of the flesh and those who walk by the Spirit. The son of the slave-women shall have no inheritance with the son of the free-woman. Father is not tolerating selfish ambition in his house in this new day. There is no more tolerance for pleasing and placating man's flesh for the sake of peace. The flesh wars against the Spirit and is a tool of the enemy to hinder the work of God. The time has come for His sons to be about their Father's business and not tolerate the distraction of those who have and promote man's agenda. It is time to cut loose those that are distracting us from the purposes of God with their own ambitions and agendas.

#5 ISAAC IS ON THE ALTAR God did not ask Abraham to sacrifice Ismael, He asked for Isaac. Isaac is the promise, the vision, the future, the destiny. Everything we have "perceived" to be our vision and destiny is required to be laid down. We have not been this way before and our preconceptions from the previous age only limit us. It is a matter of faith that He can and will resurrect Isaac as He sees fit and fulfill the promise. Father has brought us to the place of surrendering the vision of our destinies and purpose into His hands that we might receive a clarified and pure vision and understanding of the days we have entered.

#6 FROM TEACHERS TO WITNESSES A teacher dispenses knowledge, A witness makes disciples. The Pharisees taught knowledge and understanding, but Jesus came made disciples that were witnesses to what they had seen and heard. We are now witnesses to what we see and hear Father doing. And WE are what Father is saying and doing. We are witnesses (testimonies) of the Power and Presence of God that changes men into His very likeness as sons. The kingdom is not in simply words but power, and power is the portion of sons who are His witnesses/testimonies.

#7 ONE WITH GOD As a bride is united with her groom so we are coming into union with our God. We have moved on from Man working for God (Outer Court), to man working with God (Holy Place), to ONLY GOD working(Holy of Holies). The operation of the past has been a mixture of men doing work for God and doing work with God. This new day is characterized by God Himself doing the work. NO FLESH SHALL GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE. We are coming from the place of seeing "Christ in me" to simply seeing "Christ", as He establishes His kingdom in "UNITY"(ONENESS) with His sons. It is no longer us, but "Christ" in us. We are not seeking Him "out there" anymore, but resting in our UNION/ONENESS in Him within. In this place it is HIM that people see, and HIM that is manifest to the world. This is the day of Tabernacles, or the indwelling of God in His temple (people).

THE POINT OF NO RETURN
Just as Jesus came bringing a new day, so today is the day we are stepping into the fullness of His purposes that changes everything. There is no going back to yesterdays anointing. There is no going back to the church age. The kingdom age is HERE. The Day of the Lord is at hand. Our vision and destiny are laid at the feet of the king and He is giving us clarified vision as to His purposes and destiny within us. He is bringing heaven to earth, and the reality of heaven is now colliding with the earth in a way that changes everything for eternity. This place of heaven on earth has been birthed within His people, but it will grow to fully manifest Christ in His body unto all creation. There is no going back, only joyous expectation.

But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

The Revelation Of The Son and Daughters

From March 15, 2010:

Last week I woke up to the most amazing vision- the most stunningly profound one I have yet to have- or probably ever will.

The Holy Spirit showed me what God is doing with mankind in His work to restore His creation. I saw God standing before a nesting doll. You know those dolls that click open and reveal another doll, and click open again to reveal another doll and so on and so on until you get to the one teeny tiny doll in the middle that is whole and solid and final. I saw God opening these shells of the doll and discarding them one by one and casting the empty shells aside.

I’m struggling to perfectly word what I saw as it was so simple, yet profound. I saw was God peeling all the stuff off this person until He got down the real person inside- the honest, naked truth, the healed whole submitted intimate friend that we should eventually become in our walk with Him. What I felt in my spirit was that this final little person, this end result is the restoration of the original creation that God created. This one freely loves Him, freely loves His creation, freely chooses to submit to being transformed back to God’s will, freely looks to fellowship in friendship and love with God and His creation in simple everyday life, and wisely asks for His wisdom and heart. This little one was not a little person, but a full grown mature Son/Daughter and friend of God who fully knew God and God fully knew them. I could tell by the emotion that I felt that neither God nor this little one would ever desire to hurt one another and would always seek the other’s heart- that they knew each other so intimately that they were one and could read each other’s hearts and minds perfectly.

As I saw God take off the last shell and reveal this tiny little person I saw the most profound thing I dare ever lay my eyes on. I saw God- in all His Glory and His fine crown and kingly robes climb down off of His throne and bend His knee and bow His head down to this little one. He bowed not in lowliness or mocking, but in mutual respect, dignity and friendship -submitting Himself equality to this little person who submitted to His hand. This little one asked for His help, His mind, His healing, His friendship and most of all His heart for others so that they could see the world through God’s eyes of love to help, not hinder, to love not condemn, to free not bind, to raise not bury, to speak truth not lies.

I saw God bow His head and bend His knee to those who have done the same to Him- who deliberately searched God’s heart as they opened up theirs to Him to do the same as they followed and submitted to Jesus as their Lord and Friend.

I saw God bow to His Friend, His bride and one who He considers His equal because this little one’s will and God’s have become one- because they have become one in heart, in mind and in spirit.

It was impressed into my heart that whatever this Friend of God asked of Him, God would give out of beautiful mutual submission- a submission built upon truth, love and kindness toward one another. This little one not only came to God for his own healing, but also asked God what heart pains He had and if he might be of assistance to heal Him right back. And I know God’s wound is His fallen creation and it’s unbelief in His love and Grace and open arms of healing, correction and restoration.

I stand in awe- and I saw as this vision left me I saw that God’s knee is just now bending.

"Where Are They?" In My Vision: The Woman Who had just Died... Opened Her Eyes Wide, Gasped in Air and was Brought Back to Life

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!

Prayer: Lord, I pray You would help those who think they are just average Christians to see that they are much more than average but that they are anointed to perform signs and wonders. Let this generation see they are kings and priests and ambassadors of Christ. God, let a spirit of compassion rise up in the Church across America! Father, let Your sons come forth and appear to the world in redemptive power! Amen.
