  • The Fullness of Time

    MorningStar Prophetic Bulletin #73

    Rick-Joyner-300x300
    Rick Joyner

    The world is now in the Valley of Decision. The consequences of every decision will be magnified and a little turn can lead to strikingly different destinations. This kind of repercussion for our choices has not been seen since the Garden. This is because the world is getting very close to becoming the Garden again—the kingdom of God is at hand.

    Because of this, it will be the time of the greatest darkness for those who do not love the truth, but the time of the greatest glory for those who do. The response to this by those who do not have true faith will be to think negatively about the Valley of Decision, becoming fearful and timid. For those who have faith, the reverse is true. This is the greatest opportunity of all, when our positive choices will do far greater good. Even a small decision to do what is right in the sight of the Lord could spark a great revival. A subtle turning in the direction toward the Lord by a nation can begin a Great Awakening.

    We have examples of this in history. When a humble, black housemaid named Rosa Parks stood on her convictions and refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, it sparked the Civil Rights Movement that changed a nation. Who could have foreseen such consequences from this one little action? Such is the result of it being “the fullness of time” for civil rights in America to include all of its citizens. As we see in even the Old Testament prophets, the Lord deals with nations concerning righteousness and justice. The wood had become so dry for the Civil Rights Movement in America that even a tiny spark could set it ablaze.

    One of the great factors making this time so opportune is that it is so dry spiritually. Just a little spark and a little breeze from the Holy Spirit and great fires of revival will begin blazing. Those who complain about the dryness of the times do not have vision. We have come to the time when even a seemingly insignificant prophetic word from an unknown prophet can set worldwide events in motion. The fullness of time means the times are full of potential. We should be rejoicing that it has become so dry!

    The harvest that Jesus said would be the end of this age is “the fullness of time,” for many such sparks will ignite many revivals. Once ignited, these fires will spread even faster because of the dryness. Some will ignite before the end of this year, and next year there will be many more.

    There also will be magnified consequences to evil choices. The harvest is when all of the seeds, both the wheat and the tares, come to full maturity. This is why we see in Isaiah 60 that when darkness is covering the earth and deep darkness the people, the glory of the Lord will be revealed in His people. We are entering the ultimate battle between light and darkness, between good and evil. After this conflict, all will be able to see clearly what both good and evil are. Now we are in a time when many are calling good evil and evil good, honoring the dishonorable and dishonoring the honorable, but that will change. This is only exposing the wheat from the tares. As we see in the Gospels, the tares are the first to be plucked out of the earth, and that time is coming.

    In Isaiah 60:3, we see that the result of this clash between light and darkness will be that the whole world will come to the light. Ultimately, the light is going to win every confrontation with evil. Even a small light can be seen much farther in great darkness. Light is going to prevail, regardless of what it may look like for a time. Now is the time to choose the light and resolve that we will only walk in the way of the light. Now is the time to let our light shine boldly.

    Now is the time to establish in our hearts that evil is what God says it is, not man, and good is what God says it is, not man. Those who do not speak according to the Word of God do not have the light, and they are not of the light but are in darkness. Now is the time when all are in the Valley of Decision, determining who they will follow.
    Seize the Day

    Great people are rarely recognized on earth in their own times, but only after they have passed and are no longer a threat. Then the living will lament, having not appreciated them more or listened to them better. The same is often true of great times and great opportunities. Only a few have the vision to see them early. The source of the greatness of the great ones is that they see and understand their times, and they seize the opportunity. Now is the greatest time there has ever been to walk with God, to stand for His truth, and to preach His gospel. Now the consequences, the fruit, will be magnified.

    Great spiritual movements are often referred to as waves of the Holy Spirit because they move like waves of the ocean. To ride a wave requires balance and skill, but those would not matter if one did not also have the ability to discern where the wave is going to break and get into position at the right place and time. Even then, the wave rider cannot be idle but must be moving in the right direction when the wave comes.

    One reason so many Christians have been repositioned in recent times is because the Holy Spirit is helping them get into position to catch the spiritual waves they are called to ride. There is a great wave of the Holy Spirit that is about to move across the entire earth, but it is still crucial for every individual to be in the place that they have been called.

    The Holy Spirit is omnipresent, so we may think that it does not make a difference if we are in a specific location, but it can make all the difference in the world for us. The Lord Jesus appeared to more than five hundred people after His resurrection, and He instructed them to go and wait for the promise of the Father in Jerusalem. Three hundred and eighty did not wait long enough and missed the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

    Hopefully those who were of the three hundred eighty received this promise later through the church, but we do not know for sure. Certainly the Lord is gracious, but as the Apostle Paul warned, we must behold both His kindness and His severity. God resists the proud, and it is the pride that caused the fall in the first place, which has us thinking we do not need to obey the Lord, but rather we can attain by our own means.

    We are told in Hebrews 6:12 to be imitators of those who through “faith and patience inherit the promises.”Waiting forty days in Jerusalem did require patience, and it sifted out those who did not have it. Impatience is not a fruit of the Spirit and those who are led by their impatience will not be led by the Spirit. Three hundred and eighty did not fully obey the Lord, and they missed Him on the Day of Pentecost. Being in the right place is one of the telltale signs that we live our lives in obedience to the Lord. He told us not to call Him “Lord” if we do not do what He says. Only those who follow Him, obeying Him as Lord, will be in the right place at the right time to receive what is promised.

    Impatience is a main reason why some never receive their promises. Another reason why opportunities, great movements, and visitations of the Lord are missed by so many is that their vision is clouded by the affairs of everyday life. Few are able to pull themselves away from the clamor of their lives to climb up to a place of vision where they can see with His eyes. This is why the Lord rebuked those who could perceive the signs of impending weather better than the signs of the times. The weather affected their everyday lives, and this is what they had most of their attention on. To discern the purposes of the Lord, they have to be our main focus. We must truly “seek first the kingdom” in order to see its coming.

    The “Sons of Issachar”

    When the strength of King David’s forces was recorded in I Chronicles 12:32, we have a unique and remarkable group listed: “And of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do.” For many years, I prayed for the Lord to raise up those with these gifts for our times. I felt that this inability to know the timing of what we were seeing was one of the greatest weaknesses in the prophetic ministries today. I also knew that in the times to come, this ability would be crucial. Seven years ago, I was shown that such last-day “sons of Issachar” would be raised up, and they would receive this anointing the way that the sons of Issachar did, which is recorded in Genesis 49:14-15:

    “Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.

    “When he saw that a resting place was good and that the land was pleasant, he bowed his shoulder to bear burdens, and became a slave at forced labor.”

    In prophetic symbolism, the shoulder represents authority because “the government will rest upon His shoulders.” I was given an invitation to pursue this anointing and shown how to do it. I would have to lay aside growing in authority and influence with people, and instead become a slave and do what others did not want to do. I would have to go through a second seven-year period when I would be given very little prophetic revelation, but instead I would be given hard labor to do. I would have to leave the high place I had in the mountains and go back into the valley to the city to embrace hard labor. I think it was the hardest thing I have ever done, and I had the choice, but I also had the promise that it would be worth it.

    One of my assignments was to begin restoring the Heritage USA property. This property had brought reproach upon the entire body of Christ, and we would have to bear this reproach to be associated with it. At that time, this property had been vacant for seven years and looked like it had deteriorated beyond where it could be restored. However, I was shown that one day this property would be a worldwide testimony of God’s power of redemption. It has not fully become this yet, but we have made progress, and it will become a marvel to the world in due time.

    The work has been hard, and the reproach we’ve had to take on at times has been hard, but it has been worth it. Now it is the most wonderful home we could have ever dreamed of having for our ministry. The best part was being joined by so many noble souls who had the vision for this and were willing to work or contribute to it.

    I am not claiming that the sacrifice I made to come down out of the mountains was that great. It has been hard at times, but there has also been too much joy for me to think of it as a sacrifice. In truth, there is no greater freedom than we can ever know than to be Christ’s slave. Even the “hard labor” in Christ leads to rest and refreshing when we take His yoke. It is always better to choose the highest purpose. So I am not claiming to have done anything that hard or great, but rather the results have been greater for me.

    Then I was instructed to help restore people that no one else wanted to restore. To do this we would also have to bear reproach and attacks just like Nehemiah did when he sought to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. However, people are more important than buildings, and even though this would hurt my reputation, to receive the authority with God requires that we, like Him, are willing to “become of no reputation.” Even so, there is possibly no greater way to gain the favor of God than to help His people whom no one else wants to help. The favor of God is far better than our reputation with men.

    The Dream of Favor

    In 1989, I was given a dream in which one of my children had fallen into a sewage ditch and could not get up. A large crowd gathered around my child just to ridicule and scorn as he struggled in that terrible filth. As a father, my grief was unbearable, but in the dream I could do nothing. Then a man pushed through the crowd, reached down and helped my child up, got him clean, and on his way again. My appreciation for this man was unlimited. If I could have given him all that I owned, it would not have been enough. Then I heard the voice of the Lord in my dream saying, “Jim Bakker is My child. Will you help him?”

    At that time, Jim Bakker was possibly the most scorned and ridiculed person on the planet. I knew the Father felt just like I did watching my child struggle while people scorned and ridiculed him. Even though I was dreaming, I think this was the worst feeling I have ever had. When I woke up, I knew that to relieve the Father of what He was feeling for Jim Bakker was worth any price I had to pay. I also had it implanted in my spirit that there is no greater way to gain the favor of God than to help His children who no one else wants to help.

    Since then, I have considered it a mandate to help Jim in any way that I can. I also think it is one of the great opportunities to help any of His children that I can who have fallen. Still, I can’t help them all, but only the ones He shows me. I count this as one of the most important things I can do.

    I do not mean to imply that this is something I am very good at. I often think I may be the worst one at this, and that the Lord’s people deserve someone who can do it much better, but I do think it is the greatest honor I can have and do try my best. If I was to leave this life today, I would consider that I have already been rewarded many times over what I deserved for the little I did give. I am sharing this now for your sake. If you want to gain the Father’s favor, help His people. If you want to receive the greatest favor, help those no one else is willing to help. The more unpopular it is to help them, or the harder it is, the more of His favor you will receive. As Tommy Tenney once said to us, “One moment of the favor of God is worth a lifetime of effort.” This is true.

    It may be the greatest wisdom to help God’s people who are struggling, but even if we were to receive nothing, the Father deserves this. When the world rebelled against Him, He did not condemn us, but sent His own Son to redeem and restore us, even when we were still in our sin. Those who have His heart, who are truly spiritual, are like Him, always looking to restore (see Galatians 6:1), not condemn. When He walked the earth, consider how much patience He had with sinners and how little patience He had with the self-righteous.

    Restoring was the main labor I was called to do to receive the “sons of Issachar” anointing. I am sure others have been called to pursue this too because there will be a great company with this gift in the coming times. Their call to hard labor may have been different than mine, but I do know that most had to bear great hardship and reproach, going through a long period of being humbled and made “of no reputation.” That will be a hallmark of the true leaders who are to come.

    As the Apostle Paul spoke of how the apostles were considered to be the “dregs of the earth,” this is a hallmark for the true apostolic ministry God is about to release. They may not be very well-known on earth, but they will be very well-known in heaven. Many who are considered the dregs of the earth are kings and princes in heaven. When the kingdom comes, those who have been lifted up here will be humbled, and those who have embraced humility here will be lifted up.

    Many people write to tell me how sorry they are for all of the attacks that I receive. I appreciate their concern, but this is actually a part of my reward. We get more “martyr points” when we receive reproach for doing the will of God. After the apostles had been beaten and threatened for doing what they were called to do, they went out rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for the sake of the Lord. They understood the true riches of the kingdom. This is why it was said of Moses:

    “By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

    choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin;

    considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward (Hebrews 11:24-26).”

    Consider how Moses chose affliction rather than pleasure and considered the reproach of Christ greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt. Moses could see, and as we are told in the next verse, “he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen” (Hebrews 11:27). Do we see? Can we see what others cannot see? Those who see, like Elisha, can have an entire army coming after them and sit in perfect peace because they can see that those who are with us are much greater than those who are against us. This vision is available to us now.

    Those who see the true treasures of the kingdom know that all of the treasures in this world are not worth as much as a single grain of sand in the kingdom. When we see, we will feel like the Apostle Paul—that all of the things we may have given up here are but rubbish. The favor of the Lord that we have experienced has already been much more than I could have ever dreamed, and much more of His favor is coming. His generosity knows no bounds, and He rewards many times over what we ever deserve.

    A Clear Trumpet Sound

    I do not mean to boast, but even if I am, I am doing it for a purpose. From 1980 to 1987, I went through a seven-year period where I received almost no prophetic revelation, but at the end of this, I received a two-and-a-half-day prophetic experience that was the greatest revelation I had ever received. It became a trumpet call heard throughout the world when a brief of it was circulated as, “A Vision of the Harvest.” When I completed the book on this revelation, The Harvest, it became a #1 bestseller in many nations and remains one of our top distributors twenty-five years later. It has proven true.

    Most of what I was shown in that vision has now come to pass, but the biggest and most important event in that vision is still to come—the harvest that is the end of the age. I was shown two waves that composed this harvest, both of which would be the biggest the world had ever seen, but the second was far more so than the first. The first wave began just a couple of years after I had the vision and lasted for more than a dozen years. It was estimated that more people came to Christ during that move than had come to Him from the original Day of Pentecost until that time. Whole nations were transformed, and at its peak, it was estimated that as many as 475,000 people a day were coming to the Lord around the world. However, it virtually missed North America and Western Europe. Now our time has come.

    I was shown a time of relative spiritual quiet between this first wave and a much bigger one that was coming after it. This quiet time would last a few years, and we needed to use it to prepare the laborers for the coming much greater ingathering that would mark the end of this age. Last year I began to receive warnings that this great wave would soon be upon us, and that we were not ready. We had not used this time wisely to get ready for the next wave.

    I was shown that this next wave would come like a tsunami. When a tsunami approaches, the ocean waters recede. I was shown that it would look like Christianity was in retreat around the world just before the greatest move of all time broke upon the earth. I was told that when we see this happening, we must not chase after the sea, the people, but we must get to the high ground. That “high ground” is to be seated with Christ in the heavenly places, not just doctrinally, but in reality united with Him and His authority. I will have more to say about this momentarily.

    After the first seven-year period ended and I received the vision of the harvest, it seemed to open a floodgate of prophetic revelation for me that just kept getting better. Then I was given the promise of the “sons of Issachar” anointing and began another seven-year period of almost no prophetic revelation. I am now within weeks of the end of this second seven-year period. In July, I was given a foretaste of what is coming in a series of dreams. In some ways, these were the most exciting dreams I have ever had. I was also told that after the first seven-year prophetic wilderness I went through, I was given a vision of the harvest, but after this one, I would see the harvest itself—the fulfillment of the vision.

    I was also given some insight into the kind of authority that would be released to those who had made it to the high ground, to be seated with Christ in the heavenly places. This high ground was also the top of the mountain that I had been shown before and wrote about in my book, The Final Quest. Unprecedented authority is about to be given to those who have been faithful and obedient. The following are just a few things we can expect just from the prophetic ministry:

      • Prophets will be raised up who will have a permanent place in the presence of the Lord and access to all of His plans and secrets.
      • Prophets will be raised up to do exploits that eclipse anything done under the Old Testament prophets, including Moses and Elijah.
      • This was to demonstrate that the New Covenant really is “a better covenant.”
      • Some will tell literal mountains to be plucked up and cast into the sea, and this will be done to prove that the Lord’s Word is true.
      • Some will be used to unravel a thousand years of the enemy’s strategy and dominance over a nation, which they will do with a single prophetic word, setting multitudes free in a day.
      • Some will have authority over all natural laws such as gravity, time, space, and mass, demonstrating the authority of the kingdom of heaven over all earthly authority.
      • This would even make the Jews jealous so that they would pursue the Lord like they had not done since they were in Egypt.
      • There will be companies of prophets that no enemy can hide their plans or their secrets from, and these will constantly thwart the attacks of the enemy and those who serve him.
      • There will not be a major event that happens on the earth that God’s prophets do not foresee.
      • There will be companies of “sons of Issachar” who know the timing of coming events and have words of wisdom about what God’s people are to do to be prepared for them.
      • The counsel of these “sons of Issachar” will be sought by the most influential of this world, but it will be more important for them to serve the least of God’s people than the mighty of this world. They will help leaders of this present age, but their main devotion will be to the future leaders of the coming kingdom.
      • Some of God’s people will be given authority over every disease and affliction of man.
      • Food and other resources being multiplied will become a common occurrence.
      • Counsels between God’s people and angels will be common and expected.
      • Every great thing in Scripture was but the seed of what we will now see as a harvest. Even the first century church was but a seed of what the church will become.
      • The Lord Himself will be so close to His people that He will be loved far above any gift or power by His people.

    I have witnessed many great things in the Lord, but what I saw in these dreams was greater than what I had ever imagined that we would see on the earth. The “greater works” that the Lord said would be done in His name are much greater than I had ever considered. I should have known—the Lord always exceeds what we can ask or think. We are heading into the most exciting times there has ever been to walk with God.Hear the Call of the Trumpet

    The Lord has saved His best wine for last. The greatest move of God that has ever come upon the earth is very close. For those who have given up much to pursue the purposes of the Lord, now their reward is near.

    Others have been distracted during the dry times. Like the remnant who returned to rebuild the temple of the Lord, after the foundation was laid, they got discouraged and went off to build their own houses. Like Haggai and Zechariah, prophets will arise to call them back to the work, and the work on the house of the Lord will be finished. Even many who have fallen away from the faith will come back.

    In James 3:2 we are told that, “we all stumble in many ways.” There has only been One who has not fallen to sin. In Galatians 6:7 we are told, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” If we want to receive mercy, we need to sow mercy every chance we get. If we want to receive grace, we need to sow it every chance we get.

    Proverbs 24:16 says, “A righteous man falls seven times, and rises again.” Our falls do not displease Him as much as our getting back up and pressing on pleases Him. This is not to imply that our falling pleases Him—it does not. However, He knows that the faith it takes to get back up and continue on after a fall can be the greatest faith, and faith pleases Him.

    Many have fallen in the same way that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob fell. When it got dry, they left the land they had been promised and turned to Egypt for their sustenance. It ultimately led to the bondage of their whole family. God let this happen so that they could taste the pain of their bondage, and be willing to pay the price to pursue His promises. When they cried to Him, He delivered them. Regardless of what you have gotten yourself into, He will deliver you if you will call upon Him.

    Israel’s deliverance was not easy because it took much longer to get the Egypt out of them than it did to get them out of Egypt. Even so, He brought them into their Promised Land, and He will bring us into ours. If you are alive today, you were called to serve the Lord in the greatest move of God that has ever been upon the earth. Get free and get in your place.

    The last few years have been exceedingly dry prophetically for many of God’s people. Because He has not said as much to us does not mean that He has not been close to us. Even so, this spiritual dryness caused many to turn away from their purpose and become occupied with other things to seek fulfillment. For those who remained faithful, doing the work they were called to, the reward will soon come, and it will be great. For those who drifted, have the wisdom of the prodigal. For those who did not drift, but remained faithful, let us not become like the older brother, but rejoice at the return of the prodigals for the sake of the joy our Father has in this.

    We are entering the fullness of times. The kingdom of God is at hand.

    New Resources Are Coming–God Is Weaning Us From Old Resources And Bringing Us Into His Supernatural Supply

    Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

    The Ringing of the Bell of Wall Street

    I don’t know much about Wall Street and the Stock Exchange, but I do remember throughout my school years when the bell would ring. It meant it was time for a recess. Recess for me was a powerful word, and it always brought a blessing to break away from the routine of things and be free to enjoy the time out. I sense the bell that is ringing on Wall Street could be a signal for God’s people–that we are in for a “recess” not a recession! This is a recess from the way we are accustomed to having our needs met, and instead, we will have the opportunity to watch God take care of us, supernaturally, if need be.

    I sense we are in a transition from “believing” in miracles to “living” in them! I sense the Father saying to the angels who dropped down the manna and fed two million of His children in the wilderness, “I believe they are now ready to live by faith!” I sense the Father saying to the Rock (Jesus) who followed His children throughout their wilderness journey, “I believe they are now ready to speak by faith to that rock, and watch living water gush out to quench their thirst instead of looking to the world to quench it!”

    Clothes That Don’t Wear Out

    Deuteronomy 29:5, “I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not worn out on you, and your shoes have not worn out on your feet!”

    I am hesitant to say this, but I have a pair of black dress pants close to twenty years old that I still wear at times. Not just because I don’t like to shop, but they just never seem to wear out! Have you noticed that your clothing and many other things seem to last longer than you thought they would? Get used to this, because I see this supernatural anointing falling upon our possessions, such as automobiles and appliances, as we serve the Lord in these last days. I also had a pair of wing tip dress shoes that lasted about the same time span. Apparently, Israel’s clothing and shoes grew with them. That same anointing which caused millions of shoes to never wear out for forty years is still present. The soles of their shoes outlasted the best Michelin radial tire on the market today!

    Financial Pruning In Sources We Have Trusted In

    Not long ago we experienced a cutback in a specific missions budget. Immediately my flesh went into full gear, wondering why a source would cut our support. I was loading my ammunition of good reasons why they should not cut us. As I got ready to confront this issue, the Lord spoke, “Hold your peace! You are not being cut back, you are being pruned. Your cutback will bring forth financial increase from other sources, including Me!” I sense many are experiencing similar situations concerning their finances. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. I sense He is weaning us from sources that we have gotten used to, and now He wants to prove even more that He is our Shepherd and we shall not lack!

    God is bringing His people full circle. Full circle means “full where there is no lack.” When Jesus sent His disciples out with no purse, script, or shoes to serve Him, He later asked them, “‘Did you lack anything?’ They said, ‘No, nothing’” (Luke 22:35).

    Godliness With Contentment Is Great Gain

    1 Timothy 6:6-10, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.”

    Have you ever been driven into your prayer closet by a great need, and you break into His presence where there is fullness of joy and you forgot what drove you in there? Once I said to the Lord, “Lord, I have forgotten what that great need was that drove me to You, since Your presence is overwhelming right now.” He responded with, “Your greatest need is Me!”

    Mercy to the Needy

    As we enter more and more into His presence through much tribulation, we will come forth with more of His compassion for the poor and needy and will discover that there is greater joy in giving than in receiving. I believe in troubled times, we will be drawn more to “people” than things. Relationships will become more precious than gold and silver, and we may discover that less with God is really more. The answer to any economic shaking is written right on our money, “In God We Trust!”

    Enjoy the recess!

    Connecticut to Awaken the Root of this Nation

    And I would say to you watch for I have come on your calling and beckoning this night. And I will open up an unusual path from Connecticut that will awaken the New England states that have fallen asleep. I say to you I’ve been waiting for this alignment this night so that I could awaken and restore and cause a root that had fallen asleep and been corrupted to come alive again. So I say to you I will come through Connecticut and with my thundering feet I will open up an unusual path. I say watch as the heavens come down and create a path throughout the state that opens up eight ways from this state. And I say to you this night you have created rumbling in the heavens, now watch as I run through this state and create the path that will awaken the root of this nation saith the Lord.

    Now let the shout rise up in you.

    CT to Regulate the Nation

    And I say to you tonight the war of regulation for this entire nation now stirs within Connecticut. And I say there will be legal wars to set the course of a nation that has gotten off course. I say I have chosen you from the foundation of this nation to regulate this nation. I say now go to war in worship and this nation will be regulated under my watch care saith the Lord.

    Regulation Example (Rick McKinniss)

    We just heard the prophetic word that the Lord’s released authority to us to regulate and we need to break a regulation. And you know when the health and human services mandated this contraception, forced it upon the Roman Catholic churches and institutions, it was it was a direct assault upon all of our religious liberties, and shortly thereafter I had a – I can’t say it was a dream it was just – the Lord encountered me in the night, and what he said to me was – I’ve only had an encounter like this on one other occasion. It was a very direct encounter and what he said to me was if this nation trades its religious liberty for so called contraceptive rights, it’s like Esau selling his birthright. So would you like to break a regulation and do a little regulating? See we’ve just song there’s power in the name of Jesus to break every chain; there’s more authority in this room…

    Now Father we come before you. Father we pray for our government. We pray for our present administration. We lift up President Obama to you. We lift up Secretary Sebelius. Father we ask you to bless them. We ask you to bless their families. But Father we say now in the name of Jesus, let this unholy regulation be broken! Father let this yoke be broken! And Father we declare that we will be like Jacob in honor of that which is honorable we will not despise our birthright. And Father we wanna regulate in the name of the Lord that this thing will not stand, in Jesus name.

    Revival State & Double Portion

    …Connecticut is a revival state. The Spirit of God will come in Connecticut… In double portion Connecticut will experience a move of God… the State of Connecticut will have a double portion of the move of God.

    …let me show you a few things tonight because I do want to leave something with you tonight that I feel like is very important in the move of God now that is stirring in Connecticut. First of all we have to understand that we’re in a new season. Everyone say new season. In this new season we’re developing a new identity for our future. Now I do want to explain to you, I’m not sure when God gives a prophetic word I see it like a sentence. It comes down from Heaven. There’s been times where the Lord has caught me up into the Heavenly realms and said you come back and you say exactly what I just showed you. Don’t add to it, don’t try to explain it and don’t try to think about it…

    So, so when I saw that sentence come down about regulation, now Rick I – I – I – it’s really clear. It was as if Connecticut has the authority to regulate the future of the legal structure of federal – that will produce a federal rearrangement. Now I don’t know why Connecticut has all that authority. I don’t know why God said it tonight, but I know this; you are coming into a new authority that will help set the course for the future of this nation. You need to receive that authority tonight. Now look around here because there’s enough power in this room to blow this nation into its right order. And I think we have gone way beyond political issues. I think we are now moving into a kingdom dimension we have never been in in the body of Christ and God is giving us great authority to speak a thing then watch it happen. And I want to say to you, I believe you have great authority to help re-regulate the law structure of the federal government here.

    Covenant States with Fiery Hot Apostolic Hubs

    Now with that let’s look at something. We’re coming into a new identity. Now in this identity … the Lord caught me up and showed me our nation. There were only 23 states in our nation aligned with him. I think we don’t look at our nation right. I don’t think we look at our nation the way it is in reality and in that vision he showed…which states were aligned with him, he showed me a remnant in every state, a glory remnant in every state; He called it the triumphant reserve. And He then showed me in each state where His hub centers for the glory move of God in the future were…

    And in the midst of it – these were apostolic hubs that had proper alignment and they were so fiery hot that when this triumphant reserve would hit one of these hubs the triumphant reserve would go in one way in a meeting like this and come out seven times brighter. We were so bright and so hot that the enemy would have a hard time handling us. And so not every state had these apostolic hubs; not every state was in covenant… I’ve shown what God showed me about Connecticut here before because He showed me in detail every state.

    Now I don’t know why God did that. I’m just available to Him to do that. And uh, in the midst of it we have watched things play out one by one by one in this nation; state by state by state. And Connecticut was very aligned with – covenantally with the Lord and aligned in its root structure with Israel. And God began to give me a whole new paradigm of how to pray and mobilize our nation in prayer.

    Begins 2012

    He then showed me that it would be 2012 that we would begin. This was on May 31st… 2008. He showed me in 2012 we would enter in to the new administration of coming together in what He longed to do to reorder the course of His covenant plan in this nation. Now he didn’t just show me this nation, He went ahead and showed me 153 nations that would be in alignment with Israel in days ahead. So it became a part of a prophetic scenario that the Lord had been revealing to me since – started in 1983, increased in 1986 and it has continued on.

    Now what I want to say to you is a triumphant reserve is forming and it has a one new man capacity about it so it’s looking more like a more full picture of what we read about in the book of Ephesians; where you have Jew and Gentile coming together and moving forward into a new administration. Now 12 is linked with new administration, therefore we have entered into the season of new administration. Now from a Hebraic standpoint uh we also want to look at what this season looks like. You just saw the number 70 come done in Hebrew, then you see the number two. Well when you put those two numbers together just like we look at 12 and we understand what 12 means you get a better picture because 70 is linked with a completion. It’s linked with a captivity breaking. It’s linked with a captivity that has held back our testimony. And God says we are now in a season that the captivities that have held back the testimony of my people; my Kingdom people, those captivities I am ready for my people to rise up and come out of the captivity and break into freedom.

    Wells, Water, Oasis, Wilderness

    Now two has several meanings about it the first meaning and of course let me show you 70 again. 70 this whole season is linked with new vision. It’s linked with a watchman anointing. It’s linked with breaking new ground and digging wells. Now to be here at Wellspring, say we’re at a good place for the water to come on up a new level. And so again I felt it was very important even the place we end up being.

    And so this whole season we’re watching for water that’s been held underneath of the land structure where the glory needs to come on. We’re watching for the water of the Lord to rise up. We’re watching for it in us as well. We’re watching for a new baptism. I remember coming up here in the 80s ‘cause there was a move of God going on and there was a church in Windsor that was a part of that move of God and they paid a price for the move of God here in this area to continue. You’re a product of that. But see now we’re coming into a new administration and all of the sudden all of us in this room and Connecticut have stepped in and have said we’re ready for the water to rise.

    Now notice this. Two is linked with the concept of an oasis. See our covenant root, our belief system, is linked back into Abraham the Hebrew. Through the Lord Jesus Christ, He opened up a way for us to gain access to the Father so that we could be grafted back in to all the blessings that God made covenant and gave Abraham. Now in the midst of this, we – many of us have been going through wilderness transitions. This year’s different. The Lord said, “Don’t worry about the wilderness you’re in because I already have the oasis for you to step into”.

    That’s why meetings like tonight are so important because we come here and in the midst of it we fill a refreshing power that’s pulsating through us to empower us for the future. But I do want to say this year the refreshing move of God for the next year and a half is brewing in certain places. Get ready find those places and be refreshed.

    2 = House; Whitehouse

    Now two is known as, in Hebrew also as the house. So what God is doing this year is bringing us back to the house and He’s creating a new administration. When I say – that doesn’t mean He’s getting rid of the present leadership but He’s bringing us into a new way of doing things.

    This is probably the first time we’ve done this on Saturday night up here, in a good while. And so all of the sudden when we come together like this, the Spirit of God begins to move with us in a new way; because the house takes a shift this year, your house takes a shift. See you’re known as the temple, you’re known as the house. Not only will His house take a shift, but your house.

    Now, America has tapped in to God’s covenant plan. You know why, because it was dedicated as a covenant nation. So its coincidence this year is the year of the White House shifting. So how God’s people allow Him to shift our house is how the house that rules us civilly will begin to shift, see.

    So we have to pray accordingly as we move forward. One of the key words linked with Beit – which is number two – is Bethel. There’s a returning to just like me coming back to New England, there is a returning to the place where God opened up a portal and started meeting His people.

    I think Linda you’re here, you’re going to have a meeting over at Plymouth. That, meetings like that become very important with us aligning our voice with the plan of God. Now let’s look at this. So with that in this year of the house we got to pierce through the conformity that we’ve been held captive in. We’ve got to allow the Lord to great new models of our gathering. See church is interesting. Church means fellowship but it also means stratologia (?) warring, a warring gathering.

    And I think right now we’re moving into a kingdom dynamic where our fellowship, we’re coming together fellowshipping but we’re leaving with warfare strategies. And in the midst of that we go to war with our prophetic word. That’s what the book of Timothy says and new models are arising.

    Faith linked with Time and Space

    Now something else we have to understand, faith is linked with time and with space. The place God calls us to is important. The timing that He calls us to that place becomes very important. That’s what Acts 17 is all about. He predetermines the time and the boundaries of your being.

    So in other words when you heard God tell you to come here He drew you here and it says because at that moment when you’re at the right place at the right time, He becomes very near to you. And the word actually means pro-horizon. At the moment you can see beyond where you could see before you got here. Because He comes down, He gives us new revelation, he enters in. See He’s not in time and He created time and He created space. He is time. But He enters in and aligns Heaven and the will of Heaven, this is the Lord’s prayer with what is going on in the Earth and all of the sudden we leave here marching and moving in a whole different dynamic.

    Be Ready to Cross Over Into Your Promise

    Now let’s look at this. Now, so what are we looking for as we move forward what are the keys to gain access here in Connecticut to the season that’s ahead of us. Now first of all I want to say this, you’ve got to be ready to cross over into your promise. You can’t lean on your own understanding. You can’t keep saying in four months the harvest will be ready. You see Jesus said that. You have to know God has a time where He says, now. Now is how you are supposed to move forward.

    Now let’s look at a moment, you don’t have to turn there but I’ll just use this as an example. I want to give you three examples; one in Old Testament history, one from the prophets and one in new covenant history of what God wants us to do and then I want to activate us to leave this meeting and move into a whole new dimension in this area.

    Now let’s take the book of Joshua. God had been waiting for 470 years for this people for this people to move forward. He had outlined their promise. He had set the boundaries for their promise but they’d never stepped into it. He got one group going and they actually got into the promise but saw the warfare over the promise and then slandered the promise. And so you know what he did? He made them wait another 40 years.

    Now I want to say this to you. God can out wait you. Some of you think you’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting. He doesn’t have a problem out waiting you until we are ready to move forward into what He wants us to move forward into. And so finally, everybody say finally, see there comes a moment where He says, “Let’s try it again. I have a covenant with you I have trying to do this over and over in Connecticut, let’s try it again”.

    You don’t want to leave this meeting tonight and say okay now six months from now let’s come back together and let’s try to worship again and get going. That’s not what this meeting’s about. This Saturday night is about: I’ve mustered the triumphant reserve in Connecticut together. I’ve drawn them together. I’m ready to do it again. Tell somebody He’s ready to do it again. And let me say this about the Lord. He’ll use whatever he’s got to use. Look at somebody next to you and say: you’re all He’s got – let’s go!   I mean there comes a time when He doesn’t wait for everybody to come on board. There comes a time He doesn’t wait for every pastor to line up. There comes a time where He doesn’t wait for the government officials to do it His way. He just says I’m ready to go. You know what that’s what makes Him God. Sometimes I think we think we’re God. Look at somebody and say I’m so glad you’re not.

    Now, in looking in the book of Joshua here’s five key points for us to move forward. First of all, there’s a time in your life where the Lord starts directing your pathway and you really don’t know where you’re going. You just know God called this meeting. I just know I have the double keys to Connecticut and some way the Lord is going to show me how to pray those things into an unlocking place. I don’t have to understand it all I just have to go with it.

    Now with it you get to this pathway and just think about the disciples. We were talking about this the other day Ann and I, they never got good footing. They went with the Lord for three years and at of it there was only one that could make it up to the cross with Him. See, see its not about us being real steady in going, there just comes a time when God says you gotta go now.

    And I’m telling you Connecticut I wouldn’t be here on a Saturday night without being here to tell you God’s eye is on you to move forward now and that’s key. He’s doing something here. It’s amazing what he’s doing.

    Covenant Identity & Unity

    Here’s the second thing. There comes this moment when you have to cross over into your new covenant identity. You have to lay down how Zebulon and Isaachar didn’t get along at one point. See He brought them out by armies out of Egypt and He got ‘em all going. He choose the 12 key leaders of the tribe of Connecticut and He said let’s go into the promise and only two of ‘em have enough faith to say, “We don’t have to understand it but we have never seen such prosperity as we see. Let’s go up against what’s holding back our promise”, and the other 10 rebelled.

    We’re not just talking about people we’re talking about leaders. And see right now I have to believe in Connecticut, God’s redeveloped the leadership mix. And He’s redeveloped the remnant mix. And see unity doesn’t work where we’re all on the same page together. Unity works – He required Judah, Zebulon, and Isaachar to war together.

    Certain people have to align and then all of the sudden God moves forward. You see it might be these three men on the front row here. It might be this three on the front row here…

    God’s ready to move. There’s a perfect timing when you have to cross on over. You say I’m not so sure I’ve got the faith for all this. Thank God He’s not dependent just on our faith.  Once we know we’re in the right time and right place you just take a deep breath and jump – see?

    Now here’s the third thing. He told his people this, and a lot of people say well we’re just not ready we’re not pure enough, we don’t have it together, we’re not holy enough as a group. He said if you’ll sanctify yourself today, I’ll have you cross over into your promise tomorrow. See so I think that sanctification is at the moment when we know He’s ready to move on. All of the sudden He starts to do something in all of us. We wanna get near to Him. We’re not trying to make our self holy. We want to align with the Lord in a new way.

    And then here was the other thing that I feel like was very important in a new season like we’re in, the presence of God makes a shift. See He did away with the cloud, he did away with the fire and He said now I’m going to put a box a thousand feet down there and you’re going to follow this box. And you’re going to follow the leaders that I’ve chosen to hold the box.

    Well that was a big shift for ‘em people. They had had a cloud over them for 40 years. They’d had a fire wherever it went they went or they got into a big mess and now that was all gone. The presence of God is making a shift.

    It’s important we recognize it’s His presence in a new way and then the government made a shift. See God looks at His kingdom government. If you want to obey the thing I do when I’m evaluating and praying for a state, I start praying for God’s government first. ‘Cause see we’re a people above all people. We’re a peculiar people. Tell somebody next to you I know he’s talking about you now.

    We pray for civil authorities because we’re a peculiar people that have access into a throne room that can loose revelation to help guide those in civil authority that represent the people. You pray for whoever is in civil authority whether you voted for him or didn’t vote for him. And if you don’t something’s wrong with you. Now I’ll tell you that right now.

    I’m adopted into the Crow tribe in Montana and I mean not only adopted they made me honorary chief the last time I was there with them. The other person they adopted was President Obama. Now there’s a reason that I pray for my brother beyond my political thought process. Do you understand what I’m saying to you? We have to be a people that come up. Look at someone next to you and say you’re coming up to a new level this season. And if you love the presence of God, you’ll come up to a new level. You’ll allow the Lord to do things.

    And let me show you something else. Here’s something else I want to put in here. You need to ask for your inheritance. Remember David finally got a new government in place. He had to overtake the Jebusites that Abraham didn’t overtake. That Joshua’s group didn’t overtake. His first assignment was put on your robe go sit on the throne. It was let’s see who can swim up the water spout and take out the Jebusites that have never been taken out in all the history of God’s covenant plan.  And so what happens when we come together like this, it’s one of the greatest warfare displays that the enemy recognizes.

    So right now I set a bloodline over every one of you and I say the bloodline of the Lord Jesus Christ is drawn over you so the enemy can’t penetrate into what is yours, what is your inheritance, what is there for you and I say right now you’re rising up above the enemies plan; and so you ask when we come together like this, strongholds that never could be broken start being broken. Things start happening.

    Dry Bones Live in CT

    And here’s something else that happens. All of the sudden a mighty army begins to arise. Now turn with me if you will to Ezekiel 37 right quick. And I’m gonna so you this because I want to relate it to what I’m seeing here in Connecticut tonight.

    Most of you know this chapter. This is when the Lord comes down, he speaks to the prophet, He shows him the dry bones all scattered. But what many of us don’t do, we don’t go back to a chapter where the people have been in a great judgment, they’ve been in a great captivity for 70 years and all of the sudden God starts prophesying that He’s ready to renew them. Say it’s time for Connecticut.

    See there comes a time He’s ready to renew them; all through the word of God there comes a time. Your own personal bloodline; there comes time when He says I know what Grandpa did and what Grandma did and what Great-Grandpa did but I got you now and I am ready for you to rise up and say the buck stops here!

    And in the midst of it you find in 36, all of the sudden God starts prophesying that it’s not because of how good you are or how good you could ever be but I’m gonna renew you and I’m gonna put a new heart in you and a new spirit in you and you’re gonna move forward. And then he shows the prophet the real condition of things in Ezekiel 36. He gives the prophesy first. And then He shows the prophet the real condition of things. He says now how do you see this? Do you see all these dry bones?  Can those dry bones live and this prophet Ezekiel has such faith that he said only you know Lord. And the Lord said, “well I’m not dependent just upon you so let me do this. I’m gonna tell you what to prophesy. You prophesy it just like I tell you to prophesy it and watch me start working.”

    See sometimes I – we think it’s so dependent on us where all we have to do is stay in communion and God will take over and he’ll say, “You say this. You don’t even have to believe it yet. You say it and watch it happen”. And He said, “you prophecy that the bones come together, that a new structure come on them and that breath coming down”. He prophesied it such as God said. And notice what happened, they came together. Now look at somebody and say Connecticut’s already past this.

    A new structure raised up. New leaders came together and how they would move forward but notice what it says, “it never breathed”. There was no breath in it. Did that mean that God was wrong? Did it mean that the prophet was wrong? And this is where prophets I think some of them need to rise up and say now wait a minute, “I prophesied what God said it was up to you to do something else”.

    So you know what God said to him? He said, “Then don’t go back and prophesy what you’ve been prophesying, prophesy right now that it breathe. That a new breath come in. Just prophesy to the one part of my will that’s not working.” See don’t go back and re-dig up the history of how we violated this and violated that. You’ve done so much of that. I’ve been through all that a lot in Connecticut with you but prophesy to the breath. Prophesy into the breath and degree there’s a new wind coming.

    He prophesized the breath and you know what happened, all the sudden they began to breathe, and once they breathed they began to talk and you know what they said? “This is how bad we’ve been hurt in the past. This is how messed up we’ve been in the past. You know what the Lord said, “Prophesy again.” It’s just like us immediately instead of speaking forth where we’re going, we speak about the past and what’s going on with us. And the Lord said, “Prophesy again to ‘em. Don’t look at the past. Prophesy again and prophesy that this army will rise up”.

    And then here’s the scripture I want to leave with you in verse 14. “Then you shall know that I am the Lord when I’ve opened your graves, O my people, brought you up from your graves. I will put my Spirit in you.” The very thing that He with when he was ready to renew. The very word He gave the prophet. “I’ll put my Spirit in you. I will place you in your own land. You shall live and you will know, not only I have spoken about Connecticut, now I’m performing what I’ve spoken.” Say out loud, God’s ready for a performance here in Connecticut.

    Now here’s the last thing I want to say. I believe God is giving His people in this state new access. I believe He is moving this people into a place where they have access to accomplish things that they’ve never accomplished before.

    CT Churches and John’s Revelation of the Churches

    Remember what He did with John in 70 A.D. after the early church had moved forward. John got in trouble and got sent to the island of Patmos. Well on that isle he was put in prison but God, everybody say but God, God came down and visited him. And what he began to show him were all of the churches of that region; all the seven key churches of the region.

    See this is what you gotta understand about God. He knows what’s going on in Connecticut in this region with the leaders. He knows about Rick’s church. He knows about Bishop’s church, He knows about Marios’ church, he knows about Todd’s church. He knows everything that’s going on here. And there comes a time where He says let me evaluate what’s happening presently in my gatherings of My kingdom people, that’s what church is.

    And so what He did was he caught John up and he began to tell John what each one of those churches had done to well. You see He didn’t start ragging on ‘em and say how bad they were, He said, “this church has done this well”. He commended each one of ‘em. Then He said, “Now here’s the problem I have with this church and why I’m doing this John is because I’m getting ready to do something new.”

    Now some churches He didn’t have any problems with so don’t try to create a problem if you don’t have a problem. Philadelphia, He didn’t have any problem with Philadelphia. He didn’t have a problem with two of the churches. But then He said this, “If they’re gonna move forward, here’s what each one is gonna have to do. And He would tell each one of those churches what they would have to do to move forward. He said, If you’re not willing to be taught – I’m gonna instruct each one of you because I’m ready to take the church into its next level of history”.

    Now hear me carefully here, “I’m ready to take my people into their next historical shift. And if you’re gonna go with me you’re gonna have to do this, you’re gonna have to do this, you’re gonna have to do this”. And if you’ll hear what the Spirit’s saying, you’ll overcome. And the church will make its apostolic shift and move into a transforming mode that is greater than it presently is.

    Then He said this to ‘em. He went beyond that.  He said, “Now John, now that I’ve shown you want currently is happening, come up here. I’m gonna give you access and I’m gonna show you what I want to happen in the future.” And John said he heard a voice like a trumpet and at that moment God opened up the entire future to Him of where we would be right now.

    Confidence in CT

    Now this is what I wanna to end with. I have this much faith and confidence in the people of God in Connecticut. You know why? I’ve carried that in my heart since the 70s. I’m not coming to you as a – just a speaker or a prophet, or someone who loves our nation, I’m coming to you as really a part of you here. And I’m saying I have great confidence in this state. I have great confidence in the leaders that even tonight (probably seven if we really tried to pull ‘em out) that have come to this meeting. Therefore, because I have that great confidence and all of us are represented here in a kingdom fashion tonight, I know the Lord’s saying He’s ready for you to come up and go beyond where you have ever been before. He is ready to show you a dimension of worship that is beyond anything you have ever seen before.

    He’s ready to show you angelic visitations beyond what you’ve ever experienced before and we’ve all experienced that. He is ready to go beyond and show you what’s been sealed up in Connecticut’s seal that’s never been unlocked before. And He said because you came tonight I now have you on the threshold of the move of God that has now entered your atmosphere.  Each one will begin to draw near to Him in a new way. Every church beginning tomorrow morning He’ll begin to evaluate in a new way; that’s called visitation. So what am I here announcing? The visitation of God, the audit of God, is now in the land governed by boundaries called Connecticut. The great river state where God is ready to go way beyond where He has ever been able to go before.

    Let’s stand up.  Father you drew us here tonight. Father we couldn’t have come here out of our own strength nor out of our own will. Matter of fact Father, in the past we’ve had issues with each other and we’ve not wanted to get together but tonight we wanted to get together. Lord we wanted to come, we wanted to worship together tonight. We wanted to lay down any thought barrier that has separated us in the past; because Lord you’re ready to move this region forward. You’re ready to advance some people.

    Worship Together Next Seven Months

    So I would say to you if you would worship together over the next seven months, just as you’ve come tonight and worship together; if you will gather together and worship during these seven months at the places I assign you to worship, I say you will gain access to the keys, the double keys that are above you in My heavenly realms. I say healings that couldn’t come forth in the last season will now come forth. And I say to you, I am calling you now because a government and its regulations hang in the balance, and this state regulates and holds the keys to much of the future of this nation. I say I long to come down and insure the people of this state that I can change a nation.

    Monetary Systems Shaking – New Economic Rule out of CT

    I say shakings will come in the monetarily systems in days ahead and out of Connecticut a new rule and a new measure will rise.

    Therefore I say tonight if you will hear what the Spirit is saying, you will begin to experience me in a new way. You will preach access. You would decree a returning to My house. You will move into a dynamic of authority that has not been displayed. You will decree a thing and it will begin to happen. I say the elders of this state will begin to come together and I am not looking at age but I am looking at the authority that I have given to the 18 top cities of this state. I say those elders and those leaders whether in the business realm or whether in My kingdom authority of church rule will come together and in their coming together they will begin to decree things that will shake open an economic rule that is not shaken open. I say to you tonight, I am putting you on the front of a movement. I am calling you as a triumphant people to rise up and move to the front lines, saith the Lord. I am causing you in worship on the front lines. I’m causing you to resound on the front lines for I am longing to demonstrate from this state how a hard nut got cracked and how the fruit of that nut spilled out and fed a nation in days ahead.

    Now let’s just lift our hands. Father I come tonight, I impart new strength to this incredible, glorious, shining remnant that’s gathered together. I impart a supernatural blessing upon this place as a gathering place for the future. I impart the counsel room of God into this state so that divine counsel will be decreed and many will come to know the Lord. I also decree a short harvest season where many who have gone astray will be re-harvested and come back into the house. Lord tonight we humbly come before you in Connecticut and we cry out we are ready for you to visit this land.

    Now just give a cry out into the heavens. Now let’s worship. Let’s worship Him. Let’s worship Him.
