ACPE Word of The Lord 2009

Cindy Jacobs

 

 

Dear friends,

 

The year 2009 is well under way, and we have now entered into a new season. During the last meeting of the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE), held in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Peter Wagner felt that it was time for him to pass on the mantle of leadership of the ACPE. Some of you may know, that the Lord has led him to do this in several other organizations that he has also founded.

 

During our time together, Peter asked me if I was willing to take the leadership of this prophetic council, and I agreed—on one condition-—that both he and Doris stay on the ACPE and continue on our journey together into the new. There was a strong consensus in the room as well. I said to them, “Peter and Doris, you need us and we need you.” Peter looked at Doris and she nodded her head yes and it was settled. What does that mean? From that point forward, I have been responsible for overseeing the administration for the meetings as we seek God together for the new wind of the Holy Spirit.

 

Below I have provided the ACPE Word of the Lord for 2009, which was received during the last ACPE meeting under Peter Wagner's leadership. Please read through it prayerfully. Although the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders has issued this word in 2009, it should be understood that God speaks in seasons of time and therefore what we are releasing from the Lord might not happen during the actual chronological year 2009.

 

As we have met and discussed our role as prophetic leaders, we realized that we, unlike some other prophetic round tables, often issue words as “warnings” that we know can be changed through intercessory prayer. This year is one like that in particular.

 

We do see some amazing opportunities for the Body of Christ in general on a good note and part of our release would come under the umbrella of prophetic counsel as well as a direct “this is what God says” for this season.

 

Unlike other years, we are also releasing the fuller words of the Lord that various members of the ACPE Founders Circle have given as individual prophets. These additional words can be read by clicking on the respective links if you are reading this on the web.

 

Every blessing in this new year,

 

Cindy Jacobs

2009 The Year of the Vine

  1. God is speaking that there will be no more “business as usual” in this coming year. It is the season that we must take time to hear God as individuals.
  2. If we take time to reconnect to the Lord in an intimate way, our branches of life will produce fruit for the season in unique ways. We will be fruitful when others are not because God is always fruitful.
  3. This will be a year of pruning. Everything that is wood, hay, and stubble is being burned up so we can produce a new crop for a new season. After this season of pruning and being in the refiner's fire, what is left will be pure gold. This is what God will use to protect and prosper us in the economic shakings.
  4. God is preparing a massive worldwide harvest in this season. Personal evangelism will explode. 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the birthing of the Jesus People movement. We are on the verge of great harvest. 2009 is preparation for a new, organic moving of the Holy Spirit. This will be a New Wine evangelism movement where streets and cities will be filled with supernatural signs and wonders. God is going to release a book of Acts model where the Church gets out of its buildings and fills cities with the name of Jesus.
  5. The shaking off of old religious ways of doing things must happen. An emerging generation is waiting to be released to change the world. They will marry righteousness and justice; have a heart for the poor and taking care of God's creation.
  6. We will see movements of His glory released into the earth. This will manifest with signs and wonders not only in the healing of physical bodies but the multiplication of food, funds, and supernatural faith.

 

2009 A Year of Great Turbulence

  1. Many things are in the balance right now. The heavens are very turbulent and many nations are “tinder-boxes” ready to explode, for instance, in terrorism, civil wars, race wars, and Jihad. The Lord particularly spoke to us about praying at the borders of our nation for protection.
  2. It is imperative to believe God to get out of debt to be prepared for coming seasons of inflation and hyperinflation. Don't panic, but allow God to show you His steps to take in this time. Trust God that He will protect and lead you.
  3. Nations are going to be attacked with “economic terrorists” who are engineering the manipulation of the world's economies. This is a season to carefully pray over the finances and banking systems of our nations. In the midst of this God is calling us to break the spirit of mammon off of ourselves and our nations.
  4. We must return “back to the basics” and teach our people prayer, spiritual warfare, deliverance, holiness, and some of the lessons the older generation learned two decades ago. This will lay a sure foundation in turbulent times.

 

2009 Kingdom Against Kingdoms

  1. There will be massive struggling and clashing of the Kingdom against kingdoms. The Kingdom of God against ancient empire spirits such as Islam and the former Soviet Union.
  2. It is imperative to be properly aligned in order to be both under authority and have authority for a new season. This is a time for repositioning and shifting your priorities for your new wineskins and new wine. Some will physically reposition themselves with a geographic move and others will change networks, and find their right alignments.

 

2009 The Beginning of a Third Great Awakening

  1. We are on the verge of another great awakening. God is going to raise up young “fire-brands” for God who will awaken their regions. There are young revivalists just waiting in the wings who have the anointing of a George Whitefield, Charles Finney, or a Catherine Booth.
  2. Universities will be awakened for God.
  3. Children's revivals will break out with signs and wonders and prayer meetings.
  4. Reformation and talk of reforming nations will be on the lips of God's children.
  5. Schools will see moves of God where the Lord Himself comes in such power that even public schools are not able to finish their regularly scheduled classes because God's glory has come to the classrooms!

 

2009 Arise and Shine in the Midst of Adversity

  1. This will be a year of birthing new things. A woman gives birth after nine months and many dreams and visions will be born after years of seeming hope deferred.
  2. Find a place to dream God's dream and believe God will bring those dreams to fulfillment. Don't give up on the plans and vision God has given you!
  3. Darkness and light are colliding in this season. However, the light will be much brighter than the darkness. Light always overcomes darkness.
  4. A time of outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Many will “shine” with the power of the Holy Spirit as He fills and empowers His believers with new authority.
  5. Believe the prophets and you will prosper. Find the prophecies given over you and pray over them and trust God to bring them to pass no matter how much opposition you are facing.

 

2009 Stand Your Ground Through Worship

  1. Worship is one of the major keys for victory in the coming season.
  2. Intercessory worship will become one of the major weapons for spiritual battle.
  3. Worshipping God will bring us the refreshing that we need in the midst of heavy battle. His mercies endure forever in our midst when we worship Him.
  4. The restoration of the Tabernacle of David will become a major focus for many in the worship movements that will release many unto salvation. (Acts 15:16)
  5. Worship will be done in every sector of society. Businesses, schools, hospitals, etc., will have their own worship groups.

Saving The Destiny Of Our Nation

Cindy Jacobs

 

 

 

Dear Praying Friends,

 

There are times that God uses current events as prophetic illustrations. The recent U.S. Airways crash was one of those. You may be aware that the airplane went down after taking off in New York City.

 

Many have mentioned to me that they thought there was some kind of prophetic significance to the incident and I agree. Here is what I feel the Holy Spirit showed me from that event:

 

First of all, it was a US Airways plane. This symbolizes the United States as a nation. It seems like, in a number of ways, it is crash landing. However, the pilot was astute and practiced and prepared for just such a crisis. He didn't wait until the plane was going down to train.

 

This is the word for us in the Body of Christ today. We cannot wait until the financial crisis hits, or anything else comes against us, to try and “brush up” on the Word of God and His promises. We must be ready and full of wisdom with our minds renewed by the transforming power of His Word. Be ready and full of the Holy Spirit.

 

Secondly, people were praying out loud as the plane went down. They knew to cry out to God. I haven't heard one person complain about the prayer that took place on that flight—in a public place!

 

Thirdly, the people on the shore were alert and ready. They immediately began to call 9-1-1 as the plane descended. This means they recognized the danger as it was happening. God is speaking to us, I believe, about the nation. We must be prepared, with our eyes open, watching on the wall for the nation.

 

Fourthly, the people on the plane would have died in about two minutes from hypothermia, had they been in the water, but ferries went to their aid right away. The boats were in the water and ready to rescue. This is the practical help and solutions.

 

As a whole, the people were saved from great tragedy. What is the prophetic significance? God is saying that He wants to give us a second chance as a nation if we all prepare, stand, and watch together.

 

In 2001 the nation was attacked on September 11th. We were not prayed up and ready. This is a time of things having come full circle. The ferries that rescued the people up from the recent plane crash were from the “Circle Line”. The people watched this time and were prepared and worked together.

 

This is what we must do also. For this reason, we have prepared a special time of training to prepare watchmen for the nation on April 16-18, 2009 in Dallas, Texas: Convergence ‘09.

 

Don't miss out on this strategic time of preparation for saving the destiny of our nation!

 

Engaged in the battle,

Mike and Cindy Jacobs
