Unexpected Promotion in the Face of Opposition

From Martin Best

I had an interesting dream last night that Abba woke me up early so I could post before heading into the office.

In this dream – that appeared to be taking place sometime in the late ‘50s early 60’s - I was a young African-American Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force heading to a training camp for advanced training. When I arrived I received a written notification from “Command” that I had been promoted to 1st Lieutenant effective immediately.

I informed the training officer that I need to go over to clothing exchange to get the necessary uniform items as technically I was not “out of uniform”. Immediately problems and opposition started…”Oh clothing exchange closes before you can get there, wait until tomorrow.”

I was finally able to get to the clothing exchange the next day and while crossing the street I was almost run over by a vehicle that “appeared” to steer right at me. I jumped up on the sidewalk and managed to get into the store.

Once in the store I told the counter clerk – who also was African American – what I needed and immediately encountered significant “attitude” and resistance. I was finally able to get the needed uniform items and returned to the barracks.

Abba revealed to me that He is supernaturally “promoting” many into positions of higher authority and responsibility – both in the supernatural as well as the natural. Because He is doing it there will be significant opposition from those in established positions of authority as well as those that would normally tend to be “supportive” as they may be envious of your new position.

Abba warned that we are to:
“make sure that you do not receive the promotion but continue to work at the lower level of authority and responsibility as a way to avoid confrontation.” 

He made it clear that He is causing these things to happen for Kingdom reasons and that we are to walk and work in Kingdom level responsibilities and authorities.

Good luck – and may the Spirit be with you

Prophetic Word for the Northwest: Johnny Enlow

As I was in Tacoma, Washington the first week of October, the Lord spoke to my spirit. I could perceive the region being pregnant with destiny and there has been a generational build-up that is now ready to be manifested in this age of the restoration of all things. I saw that the Northwest was poised as a pull-tab to open up the nation to a fresh wind of healing. This was not just on the US side of the border but encompasses a large area with the US cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland and the Canadian cities of Vancouver, Abbotsford and Kelowna – and all areas in between – being part of this, where the breath of God will now blow.
   

I believe the archangel Raphael, meaning “God heals,” is the great angel of the mountain of family, and is presently very active over this region with literally millions of newly released angels. This region has historically had seasons of great healing ministries and movements but this next wind is something that will go beyond that. The region will now host and release that which heals people, families, cities and nations. 

Oaks of righteousness will arise from this area and the leaves on their trees will be for the healing of the nations. The spirit of Elijah that turns the hearts of the sons to the fathers and the hearts of the fathers to their sons, will be greatly released from this area. In the spirit realm this northwest region is one giant eagles nest and this will now begin to be revealed more and more. Eagles will gather and eagles will be released. The eagles have been hindered by Jezebel and the Religious Spirit but with the new angelic help will they will now arise and shake off the disorientation, confusion and gloom that has affected them from the demonic realm.
  

The spirit of Elijah restores and brings healing at every level. We can see that healing only bodies from natural illnesses is not a thorough enough level of healing. Bodies continue to get sick as long as family structures remain primarily fractured. New revelation on how to heal families and on how to heal emotional wounds brought on by broken families will come to and from this region. However, it will not only be new healing information but it will really be revelation from heaven that in an instant set’s the captives free. 
   
Family wounds will no longer take years of counseling and digging to find healing- but this spirit of Elijah will carry such a new measure of the Father’s love that it will be as in the days of Jesus – where He could touch the most broken in society and almost overnight have them functioning in destiny.

The spirit of Elijah will show up in a wide range of manners but its purpose in every manifestation will be to bring healing. It will be released by the laying on of hands, through books, through government family structures, through counseling centers and a new music will arise that will carry great healing. ‘Pied Pipers’ of society will arise out of this region carrying a sound that will reach deep into the hearts of the listeners. Some of this music will not be considered ‘Christian’ but will still carry the Father’s healing heart and power.

I saw also great swirls of creativity over the region and a new wave is coming in that will impact all the mountains of society. New ways of doing things will explode all over. New trends will start and go national and many will go global. New music. New fashions. New technologies. New church models. New eateries and coffee houses. New ways of doing business. Something about all this creativity will still be connected to the spirit of Elijah and so it will be that which serves the purpose of connectivedness and community and the societal healing that is brought on via this means.

The recent record rains in the Seattle area are a sign that He will now arise through the “Noahs” and the “arks” that have been in preparatory process for such a time as this. The rising ‘waters’ will not be destruction but it will be that which is designed to raise the level of living. Even as the ark rested on Mt. Ararat (“the curse reversed”) so too, will this all tend towards reversing curses and restoring a higher level of living.

Let the Northwest Gate be fully opened to Heaven!

These Are No Longer Grounded Eagles

THESE ARE NO LONGER GROUNDED EAGLES, as in those who are not encouraged to soar in their gifts. These are the "grounded" eagles who are seasoned and established by the true heart of Father. 

Back in 2007 when everyone was talking about the eagles arriving in the NW, I had a dream and Father took me to Jeremiah 8:7-8, speaking of the misuse of the law and that even the migratory birds knew when to be where they are called. That was the message Father used to move me out first to Washington State. 

I BELIEVE HE IS CALLING THE EAGLES TO LAND. They are gathering as a prophetic picture of their release to the mantels and mandate they carry and must carry out. This is the beginning of their moment. In the past, many of the prophetic were "run off" or tied to the ground. We can no longer compromise the call by settling to hide in a cave (Adullam) for fear that we will lose our lives. 

This is the moment we were created for. To "land" with others where we are called and to deliver by The Spirit what is in us to give. Those on the earth will not always hear what you are yelling from "above" in the secret place. Jesus descended to encounter humanity. He came to where we are. That is the heart of Father. We must land to release. 

THERE SHOULD BE A GREAT CELEBRATION THAT THE PROPHETS ARE RETURNING TO THE LAND. Yes, they are called to soar, but remember there is a time to connect to the land as well. We see the ploys of the enemy from the high places and we must of course, travel and spend time there with The Father. This is where the "seer" gift works so effectively. 

We must also gather together and take the land that is given us. I'm of course, speaking allegorically. Your land may be your bloodline, your business, your sphere of influence (friendship or relationships). 

I had a dream recently, where I was standing in a snowy field and eagles were soaring directly above my head. These were not all mature large eagles. I believe that some still need to be established in their call. Every one of them was flying just above the ground. They were going to "land". 

I reached up and touched one or two on the tip of their wings. This was such a joyous and incredible moment! I knew that we had been waiting for them to come and here they were, coming in for their landing! 

As a prophetic people, let's not forget to get our heads out of the sky and be real, so that we speak practically and wisely into those on the ground

River of Many Colors

I see a river, a river flowing from His throne coming from this place called Spokane. A river of many faces and races. A river of many colors. I see this river flowing into the sea, I see this river filling the Pacific Rim with fire. With fire and glory. A river of many colors flowing into the Pacific Rim with the fires of end time revival.

I see this river merging with many other rivers from other places and nations. A great river of healing and restoration is cutting the through the rocks and valleys of religion to bring rivers in the desolate heights and pools of water in the desert.

I see the words "Psalm 133" written on the rocks of this river. Like a river the oil is pouring from Aaron's beard and like a river shall it flow from Spokane, Washington. The dew of Hermon shall come from this place called Spokane and the Lord will command a blessing. 

I hear the rumbling of a shaking coming to this area as well. I hear the rumblings of a spiritual earthquake. Many seats of authority being upset and principalities usurped from their ancient places. I see the old places; the historical landmarks of church building coming alive again. 

I see a spark igniting in the old places steeped in tradition. I see an alliance between the Pentecostals and the conservative - like the fisherman in Luke 5 harvest will demand a greater level of unity every imagined. They will cry out to the partners in the other boats, "Come help us! We can hold such a great catch!" 

I see a vast network of ministries starting in Spokane, WA. tying the knots of fellowship throughout the Pacific North West and the world. I see a large base of operation of prayer and intercession mobilized in Spokane, a place of strategy and world evangelism.

A mantle of Philip the Evangelist is settling upon the shoulders of Spokane as they invade the Samaria's of the world. 

I see the word Apostolic over Spokane, an apostolic beachhead for the end time Church and like the Apostles of old their cry will be, "That I might become all things to all men that I might save some..." I will give them a heart for the nations of the world. 

They will be city upon a hill that cannot be hid and house of prayer for all nations. A river of many colors is what I call you Spokane. A river of many colors flowing into the uttermost parts of the earth. The nations shall see it and be glad.

A New Name for a New Season

"You are about to experience a name change. This will not be a change of your given name, but a name change in the Spirit. I am making this change so you will come into this new season fully defined for the work I am about to accomplish.

"You will also carry with you new names to pronounce upon those who feel lost in hopelessness and disillusionment. When you speak these new names new seasons will be released. Rise up and begin to speak these new names and watch what I am about to do.

"Some of you have allowed natural definitions to define and limit My work in your life. Make an exchange with Me. Give Me the old names attached to defeat and a dreamless life and I will give you new names filled with hope and the promise of a future.

"In this day, I am doing a name change among My people. As your receive these new names you will carry them into new territory.

"Rise up prophets and begin to prophesy new names to My people.

• Where fatalism has stolen a future prophesy the name, "Hopeful One."

• Where dreamers have stopped dreaming call them a "Dreamer of God."

• Where people feel disconnected call them the "Redeemed of the Lord."

• Where someone has been forsaken, declare the name, "Beloved."

"Just as My Word entered the void and formless mass at Creation, so will your words spoken in My name accomplish the same creative effect when released into those who hear these words. The unconnected elements in their lives will begin to form a new season when they assemble around My word.

"Begin to rejoice like new parents naming a child yet to be born. Prepare to believe and dream again. Begin to live in the expectation of greater things. I have given you a new name for a new season to do a new work."
