I hear the Lord saying, the season, the door is upon us even now that certain mental diseases are going to be healed in a greater capacity. Things like Alzheimer’s, are going to be healed, things with oppressions, depressions the Lord’s going to heal. Things where people were born with mental deformities, those things are going to be healed. That season is here, the door is open for those things. We’re stepping into them. Deliverance ministries are going to grow to a greater extent. The Lord is raising up, I see the number 7000 - there are 7000 men and women who have been in hiding that the Lord is going to move in deliverance ministries in a great and powerful way. People are going to come, people are going to be set free through those ministries. Demons aren’t going to be able to stand in the presence. Even the Lord says over cities there are going to be principalities that the Lord’s going to pull down. The Lord’s going to begin to pull down strong spirits, arch spirits, chief spirits over cities, over areas. Freedom is going to begin to come. Hallelujah.
The Lord is even in the midst of battle, even in the midst of what is happening with our government, what is happening within this nation, the Lord is going to raise up a standard, His Church is going to start standing for what is right. The Church of this nation is going to start standing, she’s going to start leading the war. I see the Church shaking off the dust. I see the Church shaking off carnal things. I see the Church coming to a place of wanting to understand, wanting to know, she’s going to begin to shake off her grave clothes, she’s going to, even as Lazarus came out of the grave I hear the Lord speaking to the Church saying, “Come forth! Come forth!”. The Church in this nation is going to begin to rise up. Pulpits are going to begin to be reestablished in powerful ways, in revelatory ways.
There is coming a move, there is a sweeping move that is even being released now. The Lord is saying the floodgates are being opened even right now. In the heavenly realm, that in this realm in this season right now in the heavenly places there is going to be a release, hallelujah, of that which is divine, that which is supernatural, that which is in the realm of the secret, that which is in the realm of the mystery, that even the pulpits across the nation are going to begin to stand up and realize there is more, as they begin to be unified, they begin to come together. And they begin to proclaim it’s going to shake everything within the religious system, it is going to shake everything within the governmental system.
And the Lord is going to even pour out His glory as the church begins to unify under the revelation of the early church. I can hear the Lord quoting the book of Revelations, and saying, “Go back to what you once knew” - that will be the cry. Go back to what you once knew, go back to what you once understood. As that cry begins to sweep across the nation, the spirit of Jezebel and Baal will begin to be pulled down and the spirit of Ahab. And the church will begin to be chasing out demons. I see demons that are terrified of what is coming. I see demons that are terrified, of religious spirits that are terrified of what God is releasing right now. The Lord says, I created this season, I created this season to release things that have never been seen. The Lord says, Even in weeks, the Lord says, the next apostolic move is going to be released, the Lord says, within even days the next apostolic move is going to be released. And the Lord says my apostles are coming forward again, my arch messengers, my arch messengers will come forward into the church. They’ll begin to shake the mind of denominationalism. They’ll begin to shake the spirit of religion. And the Lord says that these men will walk in great power and great authority, and these women will change things that have not been changed in so many generations. But the Lord says, this is the generation that is going to awaken. This is the time and season that I am calling for a great awakening.
And the Lord would say, even as Ezekiel prophesied and He commanded the Valley of the Dry Bones to come back to life, the Lord says this is now the season of Ezekiel’s prophecy coming to pass. For the Lord says the trumpet is already sounding. And the Lord says, That which I declared from the beginning is now being openly spoken or declared unto you. For the Lord would say, even the Spirit that was upon Ezekiel, my servant is now coming upon the Church, and the Church will begin to cry out, wake up, wake up, wake up! Wake up the Bridegroom is coming! Wake up! Wake up, for the Lord is breathing His breath into the Church one more time.
The Lord says the awakening will spread across the country and even those that are in the spirit of religion the Lord says I’ve already begun to shut the doors on them. The Lord says, yeah even there are many right now within the spirit of religion, those that have the spirit of rebellion, the Lord says, I’ve already begun to shut the doors. For many the doors are being shut at this time. And the Lord says I will not open those doors.
I will move forward with those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. And the Lord says even the harvest is coming and the Lord says I have pulled out a first fruits people – a people that will not compromise. They will begin to release the fullness of the harvest. And the Lord says, don’t you see it? Don’t you see the tares? Their heads are already opening. There is already discernment within my church what is wheat and what is tares. The Lord says even now the Lord says the door will begin to shut more and more and more. I will not tolerate things that I have tolerated in the past. I will not put up with things that will defile my Church. The Lord would say, even a little bit of leaven in the lump will spoil the whole loaf. The Lord would say I will begin to remove the leavens.
I will put an anointing on the Church for prophecy, I will put an anointing on the Church to step into what I have called her into. I will put an anointing on the Church for fasting and prayer. And the Lord says, that anointing is increasing even now. He said you will see stadiums filled with my glory. You will see stadiums filled with my glory.
The Lord said, I have chosen a new breed, and that new breed is in the earth. A new breed of men and women that understand, that will take the church into the next level and carry my glory. They will clothe my bride in righteousness, they will clothe my church. They will not be afraid of the spirit of religion. They will have a sword in their hand, they will speak truth. They will not be intimidated. They will speak in love.
Father we release this new season Father. Release this new season. We release this new season. There is a new season the Lord says for the United States. There is a new season for the United States. It does not look as bad as it seems – the Holy Spirit is saying that to me. It does not look as bad as it seems. The Lord says I’m going to breathe on this nation. I just hear the Holy Spirit saying to me, “It is imperative, - it is VERY important for – not only in this nation, but the nations of the world, that this message goes to television. The Lord will bless it, He will bless those that send it out. The Lord says it is imperative that now is the time. It can actually stunt things that haven’t come forward if it is not released now. It can actually stunt nations. Whole regions of people missing what God has if it isn’t released now.
Father we call forward this new season, each and every one of us. For those that have ears to hear Father, I ask that they hear more, eyes to see – I ask their eyes be opened more. For those that you are moving, Lord we ask that their move be……... In the name of Jesus. And all the Saints say.
There is something in my spirit right now; I just hear the Lord saying “Now”. The Lord is saying the season is now. The time of transitions is now, right in front of our very face. Even as we go from this place – this Sunday that we can walk out this door and know there is a transition happening in the kingdom of heaven right now. That even things that we have never seen and never heard and never been revealed in the earth in healing and deliverance are being released right now. They are being released right now. I just see people moving to and fro, there are ministries that are going to come out of nowhere and God is just going to push them right to the forefront, because that season is right now. It is imperative that we move now. Imperative!
There will even be a block in the sprit that will try to stop what the Lord wants to do right now. It’s a spirit of compromise, that’s trying to come in and compromise and waste time. The Lord is saying, that spirit has to be conquered in our hearts and our minds. We have to do it now. We have to do what the Holy Spirit is saying right now. Hallelujah.
I just see many breakthroughs coming in this nation, breakthroughs. It’s almost like things are getting turned around, things are going to be really turned around in the realm of the Spirit. In the Church in this nation is going to be turned around. It’s going to be amazing, the quickness of the turn and the desire to see change. I just literally see the church almost fighting with the government of the United States. It’s almost like it’s going to go into such a battle mode. It’s not going to just tolerate, it’s not going to just sit back and take the punches any more. It’s just sort of – the church is going to begin to move up and move forward and take its position. You need to realize though, right now this change is here, the Lord is prompting my heart in saying, “It is really, really happening right now”. Thank You Lord, Hallelujah.
