When Wayland Henderson discovered the power of walking in an intimate relationship with Christ, he began to wonder why it took him so long to pursue it.

Henderson, co-founder with his wife, Jeanette, of The Gathering Kingdom Center in Arlington, Texas, says that when you walk closely on a daily basis with Jesus, with it comes the ability to discern the mysteries of the kingdom and, in turn, to reach multitudes for the kingdom.

It’s what Henderson teaches on his podcast, Keys to Walking in Kingdom Culture, on the Charisma Podcast Network.

“When you learn to walk in intimacy with the King, he actually brings you into His counsel to reveal His ways,” Henderson told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “When we come into our places of influence, then we will walk in power and authority.

“Many don’t realize the power we have that comes from the Lord. And it is in your time with the Lord when He begin to reveal to you just who you are. When you allow that to be seen in your everyday practical life, the Lord will begin to open up things you may have never thought possible. …

“You don’t necessarily have to be a leader, but what this shows is that Jesus’ heart is to walk with all of us until we begin to manifest His nature. No matter who you are in the body of Christ, God wants to walk with and disciple you on a personal level so that you can begin to manifest the kingdom.”

Larisha Warner finally came to a place where she refused to carry the heavy load of unforgiveness. She surrendered all of the pain and emotional suffering of childhood sexual abuse to God, and now claims wholeness and freedom in Jesus.

Her ministry, Divinely Destined, exists to help others do the same, and to help them not only become what they desire to be but a better version of themselves.

The journey is never easy, as Warner can tell you.

“It took a lot of self-reflection, a lot of prayer and a lot of counseling,” Warner told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “I had gotten to a point where I said, ‘You know what? I no longer want to go on with this burden. I no longer want to walk around with the guilt of it, nor do I want to walk around with bitterness in my heart.

“In the moment when I had the conversation and I confronted the individual, it was a difficult time. They had no idea where I was coming from. But I remember how I started. I said, ‘I remember that you hurt me. I remember that you molested me.’ That person is still a part of my life. …

“Forgiveness means to be free. We are all not perfect, and it’s not easy to live up to who God calls us to be. Forgiveness takes strength, humility and courage. I also tell myself, ‘Hold your head up. Don’t be discouraged.’ So today marks the day that I say, ‘No more tears. No more pain. I have no more sleepless nights. I can hear my grandmother in heaven tell me, ‘Baby, it’s going to be all right.’ Forgiveness equals healing. Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s God Almighty who has the ultimate say.”

Renowned author and preacher Dr. R.T. Kendall says if there were ever a time where believers needed to read 2 Timothy Chapter 4, it’s now.

Even in these chaotic times, Kendall see more and more people turn away from who God really is and opting to hear a gospel that will “tickle their ears.” In other words, Kendall says, many churchgoers simply hear what they want to hear, and they are being deceived.

It’s the subject of the 85-year-old evangelist’s new book, Is Your God Too Nice?

“We are living in a day where people don’t want to hear what they need to hear,” Kendall told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “In Paul’s last letter to Timothy, he said the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine. But there will be those who have itching ears and who will find teachers who will tell them what they want to hear instead of the truth.

“What I’m telling you is to find someone who just preaches the gospel. We’re in a time where people are simply saying, ‘What’s in it for me?’ No one has ever asked, ‘What’s in it for God?’ In my remaining years, I’ve sought to be God-centered and to ask the question, ‘What’s in it for God?’

“People seem to want a nice God, one that they are comfortable with; one that will not harm them or say anything to upset them. … What I’m trying to do is to bring us back to a sense of the fear of God. On the day of Pentecost, ‘great fear came upon them all,’ and this is what characterized the early church. Even when Jesus would perform a miracle, the placed would be filled. It’s all so different today. That’s why I’m raising the question, ‘Is your God too nice?’ Are you sure this is the God of the Bible that you’re supposedly worshipping?

You would have to be blind to not be aware of the race issues that have infected our society, which, in many ways, are more dangerous than the pandemic of COVID-19. The protests and riots which are taking place are not a response to the murder of George Floyd or any of the other recent deaths which resulted from the interactions of black people and police officers.

No. This plague is thousands of years old and what we are seeing take place today are simply volcanic eruptions that were set in motion from the time when sin entered to corrupt mankind.

The answer to this epidemic is not simply new laws, although I am not against new common-sense laws. Laws do not stop crime from taking place, otherwise we would have no murders, rapes, assaults, drug problems or anything else for which we have laws in place in attempts to keep people from violating the law. The only thing that can stop crime is to understand that all crimes are the result of sin. And the only cure for sin is righteousness.

However, like most sicknesses, the sin of racism requires a diagnosis from our Great Physician. This diagnosis is provided when G-D allows us to see our disease. In the case of racism, we have a biblical example of exactly what I am speaking about in Numbers 12:1-10 (TLV):

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses on account of the Cushite woman he married, because he had married a Cushite woman. They asked, “Has Adonai spoken only through Moses? Hasn’t He also spoken through us?” Adonai heard it. Now the man Moses was very humble, more so than anyone on the face of the earth. Immediately, Adonai said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “The three of you, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three came out. Adonai descended in a column of cloud, stood at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and called to Aaron and Miriam. The two of them stepped forward. “Hear now My words!” He said. “When there is a prophet of Adonai, I reveal Myself in a vision, I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses. In all My house, he is faithful. I speak with him face to face, plainly and not in riddles. He even looks at the form of Adonai! Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?” Adonai’s anger burned against them, and He left them. When the cloud lifted up from above the Tent, behold, Miriam had tza’arat, like snow! As Aaron turned toward her, behold, she had tza’arat!

In these verses, we find that Aaron and Miriam had a heart problem. They were upset that Moses had married a woman from Cush. For those unfamiliar with Cush, it was believed to be the area of ancient Ethiopia. Moses married a black woman, and Aaron and Miriam were not happy. This caused a spiritual issue and division between Aaron, Miriam, and Moses.

How did G-D fix this problem? He opened Miriam’s eyes.

G-D struck Miriam with tza’arat (leprosy). To understand what takes place here, we need to remember that leprosy caused one’s skin to turn white. So, here we have Miriam complaining that Moses married a black woman and G-D causes Miriam to have leprosy, thereby showing Miriam that she isn’t white either.

You see, Miriam had a heart problem (sin sickness) that caused her to see herself differently than what was true. G-D then caused her to see that how she saw herself was inaccurate.

Miriam had a heart problem: the sin that today we call racism. She had this heart problem because she had an eye problem. She saw herself through the false lens of deception. In order to correct Miriam’s eye problem, G-D showed her that she was deceiving herself. Miriam’s eye problem went away and with it her diseased heart was healed.

The truth is that all of our sin is the result of a heart problem, which is the result of our eye problem, which is really our “I” problem. When we see that we are the problem, then G-D can heal our hearts and then (and only then) will we stop being divided by lies and self-deception. {eoa}

George Floyd’s brutal asphyxiation in Minneapolis ripped open the wounds of slavery and segregation for the entire African American community in our country. Being captured on video by eyewitnesses made the murder-event more graphic and grievous.

It has given social justice warriors justified reason to protest and for others to commit flagrant destruction and theft.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has added a “slogan name” to 16th Street, north of Lafayette Park and the White House. It now features street signage saying, “Black Lives Matter Plaza.” She then ordered the actual street pavement painted for two blocks, using large, yellow, block-letters in a mural saying, “Black Lives Matter.”

Later, she apparently allowed or aided local protesters to paint the pavement of an adjacent street with the controversial protest slogan, “Defund the Police.” Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti says this doesn’t necessarily mean to abolish the police. Rather, it means to “redirect” large sums from the police budget to social justice causes and minority community efforts.

But reducing funds for police inevitably means a policing slowdown and a reduced police presence. It doesn’t seem that this approach will reduce crime nor provide safer communities. Just ask the homicide-riddled black communities in Chicago and the owners of businesses vandalized and looted in our major cities in recent days and weeks. Even minority-owned businesses were violently destroyed, along with the dreams of their entrepreneurial owners.

In his revealing and meaningful article, “American Racism: We’ve Got So Very Far to Go,” David French describes the challenges he and his family encountered after adopting a black child. The experiences she went through shaped his view of racism—American racism.

Near the end, he concludes “you don’t have to be a critical race theorist, agree with arguments about implicit bias, or buy into the radical social platform of Black Lives Matter to reach consensus on some changes that can make a difference” (The Dispatch).

I urge you to read the entire article.

Apparently, the Black Lives Matter organization and a sister organization, Movement for Black Lives, promote more than racial respect and social equality. They also promote a “radical social platform,” which Ryan Bomberger, a biracial social commentator identifies in his “Top 10 Reasons I Won’t Support the Black Lives Matter Movement” at , quoting from BLM and M4BL websites and documents.

An African American friend explained to me the trauma he experienced as a young boy in the South, watching his father demeaned by [a racially offensive phrase] and then threatened at knifepoint “if you ever drive down this road again.”

That young boy grew up, served his country in Vietnam, went to college and worked for elite companies but still has to keep alert for circumstances which could be adversely interpreted or negatively affect him or his family. This ought not to be the case in this “land of the free and the home of the brave.”

He and my other African American friends understandably view the current protests (not the violence and looting) with a broader perspective than I will ever adequately perceive. But I want to.

Black lives do matter! My pastor, Tim Clark, says it is “a statement of truth and worth.” They matter to God, and they must matter to me and to you.

I want to affirm and better appreciate and respect my fellow human beings, made in God’s image and for whom Jesus of Nazareth, the Jewish Messiah and the Gentile’s Savior, died and now lives forevermore!

Paul says that “creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed” (Romans 8:19, NIV). What does that mean? Could this tragic time of racial unrest be the pivot point for God’s grace in true Christian believers to manifest or reveal His love and peace to an expectant world? Could such a demonstration of grace effectively overcome hatred, demonstrate true love and see our nation healed (2 Chron. 7:14) of the evils of racism, selfishness and greed? Could a watching neighbor, co-worker or relative come to “know we are Christians by our love?” (see John 13:35.)

“Christ’s love compels us … that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again” (2 Cor. 5:14-15).

I don’t want to “live for myself.” Rather, I want to better understand the hurt and the history of African Americans and Hispanics, as well as Asian, African, European and Middle Eastern immigrants—all immigrants, legal and illegal. (Legalities are a different set of issues and deserve humane discussions, constitutional decisions and equitable governmental processes.)

If I want to “have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had” (Phil. 2:5a, NLT), I must seek to “live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ” (Phil. 1:27b, HCSB). He was the incarnate God, yet he did not demand His godly rights or exercise His personal liberties.

Likewise, if I am to share His attitude of mind, I must not be defensive and demanding. Rather, I must follow Him in humility and “value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others” (See Phil. 2:3b-4, NIV)

This, too, matters. {eoa}

Gary Curtis served in full-time ministry for 50 years, the last 27 of which he was part of the pastoral staff of The Church on The Way, the Van Nuys, California Foursquare Church. Now retired, Gary continues to write a weekly blog at and frequent articles for digital and print platforms. Gary and his wife live in Southern California and have two married daughters and five grandchildren.

On May 26, I had the honor of interviewing Bishop Bill Hamon and Elizabeth Tiam-Fook on my livestream, Adventures in Prophecy.

Hamon is called the “pioneer of the modern-day prophetic movement,” who has taught, trained and activated countless people in prophecy around the world and founded Christian International.

Tiam-Fook is the founder of International Young Prophets, which serves the office of the next generation prophet. I first met her during a conference in Norfolk, Virginia where I was later part of a prophetic roundtable with a medium sized group of prophetic voices in the Hampton Roads area.

During the special hour-long episode, I was struck at how Hamon and Tiam-Fook honored one another. They were modeling how important it is for each generation to run together. To pray, minister and prophesy together.

I was reminded of how Moses and Joshua would go into the tent of meeting in Exodus 33. Verse 11 says, “The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When he returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent.”

Moses and Joshua were of different generations, but they prayed together. Joshua would participate and see Moses’ prayer life as they were in God’s presence. But Joshua understood that even though Moses was God’s friend and spoke to Him face to face, he needed his own encounter and friendship with God. Joshua watched Moses carefully and applied the principles he saw in Moses, staying in the tent to pray.

We need generations of fivefold ministry gifts praying and ministering together. We should give our elders who lead us well double honor. And the young, emerging apostles and prophets should imitate those who have paid the price before them like Bishop Hamon. We should glean all the spiritual truths and wisdom we can and then seek God’s face for our own encounter.

It’s no secret that from the place of prayer we learn to prophesy. But when we are running together with generations in mind, I believe there is a supernatural acceleration and blessing.

Tiam-Fook said each generation needs each other. Our generation needs the older generation, and together we need the younger generation. Unfortunately, there are ministries that won’t allow older, more experienced apostles and prophets to speak into their lives. But then there are some who won’t listen to anyone younger than they are. This should never be the case.

God has generations in mind to multiply His kingdom on earth. Psalm 145:4 says, “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” Mutual friendship, mentoring and accountability are needed. Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT) says, “A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

At the end of the interview, I asked Hamon and Tiam-Fook to lead us in a prophetic activation. Encouraging those watching or later listening in to my podcast to participate. It was a powerful time as Hamon gave the scriptural foundations to be activated. And through this they modeled several generations working, ministering and running together.

I want to encourage you to consider who to run with in the generations before you or after you. And. reach out to them and start meeting with them today.

Jared Laskey, ., M.A. Christian Ministry, is the founder of Fireborn Ministries and host of the Adventures in the Spirit podcast. He lives to see Jesus awaken this generation to the power of the Holy Spirit. Jared loves teaching people how to hear God. He has recently published the Spirit Empowered Journal, available on Amazon, and a mini e-course, Fellowship with the Holy Spirit. His testimony of how God supernaturally healed him of PTSD is in Joan Hunter’s new book, Miracles for Veterans.

As a popular speaker on parenting and marriage, Jay Payleitner knows he must practice what he preaches. If he isn’t living a satisfied, contented life in Jesus, how can he implore others to do the same?

Years ago, Payleitner, through an obscure Bible character in Proverbs, learned the secret of how to find the sweet spot in every aspect of his life. And he’s been able to help others do the same through his ministry.

In his new book The Prayer of Agur, Payleitner unpacks this short, 13-word prayer found in Proverbs 30:8b (NIV): “Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.”

“We need to live in that sweet spot that God has for each and every one of us. Not rich, not poor, not angry, not wimpish,” Payleitner, a Christian freelance producer and bestselling author, tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “You can live in that sweet spot. When you don’t have too much or too little, you can move forward.

“You can know that God loves you just the way you are. God has a plan for you. You can explore life, and you can dream dreams,” he says. ” And you don’t have to panic over whether or not you’re a worldly success. You can do things. You don’t have to say, ‘Is this going to get me a bigger house? Is this going to get me fame and fortune?’

“You don’t have to worry about failures either, because He’s going to take care of your daily bread. God loves you and me,” Payleitner explains. “He loves you whether your cup is empty or whether your cup is overflowing. That’s part of His plan.”

End-times expert Michael Snyder is saddened by what he has seen in America over the past few months—the devastating effects of COVID-19 and the senseless, tragic death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

But at the same time, Snyder says, these turbulent events don’t surprise him. After all, Jesus said these things would come to pass, giving His followers a heads-up so that they need not live in fear amidst the chaos that has overtaken the globe.

“Indeed, these are the last days that Jesus warned us about. It’s gotten so bad,” Snyder told Sr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. “He’s sent so many prophets to warn us specifically about what’s to come so that we would not be afraid, so that we would fix our eyes on Jesus.

“It’s not just for America, because God has a plan for not only our nation but the world as a whole, and He’s got a plan for you. He can bring you through this. It’s actually an exciting time to be alive. There’s no other time I’d rather be alive than now, although I do feel sad about what’s happening in this country.

“God is going to use this, and God is going to bring in the greatest harvest of souls in all of human history. We’re going to see the greatest move of God the world has ever seen. And, we get to be a part of it if we’re following God’s plan and not our own. That’s the key, to get our eyes off of what we wanted, our plan, our circumstances, what we thought our future was going to be and embrace what God has for our future, what God is instructing us to do.

“The people who are going to be afraid, who are going to be in depression and despair are the people who don’t understand what’s coming.”

For more of what Michael Snyder has to say about current events, listen to the entire podcast.

Will COVID-19 be the death blow to the American church? It’s anybody’s guess.

My guess — no.

Someone said, “Crisis is an accelerator.” The virus in the United States sped up the low attendance problem that haunted many churches.

Pro Church Tools released these facts:

—Only 23–25% of Americans show up to church 3 out of 8 Sundays.

—Eight percent attend a church of 1,000 or more.

—Forty-six percent of churchgoers attend a church of 100 or fewer.

—Two in 10 Millennials believe church attendance is important.

—Fifty-nine percent of Millennials who grew up in church have dropped out.

—Forty percent of churches in America average between 100 and 350 in attendance.

—Ten percent of churches in America average over 350 in attendance.

—Fifty percent of all churches in America average less than 100 in attendance.

—The estimated attendance for 2050 is half of 1990s attendance.

Some say the virus accelerated what was coming — the end of congregations that have resisted live stream services, online giving and technological upgrades.

Bill Wilson predicts that up to one-third of U.S. churches could be out of business by 2025:

He points to LifeWay Research that says 5% of U.S. churches will close within the year because of the pandemic. That’s five times the average closure rate for churches, according to The Christian Century magazine.

The virus was the impetus from a ventilator to life support for the American church. The virus forced churches to close for eight weeks or more. It also forced churches to alter their methods.

Some were not ready and have yet to make a positive pivot.

The larger churches are still closed. The mid-size and small churches are hosting 25% of their normal attendance. Some churches are taking temperatures at the doors and installing sanitation stations throughout their facilities.

The blow has been hardest on the small congregations. Some think the coronavirus could shift the country’s smallest churches—forcing them to close their doors.

A Slow Reopening

The reopening has been slow for all churches.

A recent related poll of church leaders facilitated by Gloo revealed when people feel “safe” to gather again in public.

They asked which activity would indicate the proper time to open up worship at a church.

Responses included:

—The release of social distancing and stay-at-home guidelines: 17%.

—Local businesses are open: 14%.

—Local restaurant seating areas are open: 8%.

—They test more people: 6%.

—Schools are open: 4%.

—Vaccine available: 3%.

—10% admitted they were unsure.

—25% coming back for a long time.

—30% said they’d rather worship at home and return when they can be mask-free

The answers are all over the map. It is clear that Americans are not running back to the church. Many are running to shop, dine out and get to the beach. But not to church.

The return to church will not be the rush leaders hoped. As tempting as it will be to reopen the doors and believe everyone is coming back, the data (right now) shows that’s not the case. —-Carey Neiuwhof

Change Is Here

COVID-19 pandemic is a shoutout to the church. The bullhorn is loud. This is the time for the church to shift. COVID-19 is a wake-up call.

“The future of the church lies in our hands. All churches have to inspire people and offer actual solutions to life’s everyday problems. Now is the time for the church to reintroduce itself as a place of care, connection and community.”

What’s First?

Do not look for a quick return to the old ways. Do we want more of what we have done for 50 years?

A common mantra of churches is “We’ve always done it this way.”

Not this time.

“There is nothing permanent except change.” —–Heraclitus

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” —-Albert Einstein

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” —Winston Churchill

We must shift from sitting to serving. The last 10 weeks have been life changing for churches. We were unable to meet in our buildings. This was challenging and forced change.

The churches shifted to a service rather than having a service.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

Many churches jumped into serving others. Multiple churches began serving first responders in their communities.

This is new for many churches.

Thousands of church members volunteered at food banks and other essential businesses. Congregants all across America made masks for hospitals, delivered food to the shut-ins and served their cities.

Go church! Maybe we found our niche.

We must invest in areas other than the church. Hundreds and thousands of churches adopted senior citizens. This adoption provided services, supplies — food and personal needs.

We read reports of churches buying gift cards for nurses and doctors. Church members loaded Facebook with pictures of food deliveries to entire shifts on specific floors of hospitals.

The virus unfolded fresh challenges and provided fresh opportunities for churches to reach people in a more meaningful way.

Will the church survive?

The church faces tons of criticism and backlash. And the future does not look bright for the church in America.

Other research (for example, this summary) shows that the U.S. population is undergoing major religious, social, demographic and digital change. The rise of digital life, including social media, the economic crisis, changing attitudes about social issues and the emergence of younger generations on the scene are some factors likely to form undercurrents recalibrating Americans’ connection to faith and to Christianity.”

Some people say that Christianity is in decline. Some say only the nominal Christians are fading away and this is increasing a more robust faith.

Several church experts are saying: What’s going away is a nominalism, but the percentage of people who are devout Christians isn’t shifting, which means there’s still so much opportunity for the church to engage the mission field — our communities.

We have confused who and what the church is. The church is not a building, entity or organization.

It is an organism made up of believers. The church looks dead, and so did Jesus. God resurrected Jesus from the dead.

Yes, that’s real.

“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18).

The church is God’s idea. Yes, people have messed it up. But God has a purpose for his church.

Who can stop it?

For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?” (Isa. 14:27).

No one and nothing. The church in America will rise again. {eoa}

Thomas McDaniels is a pastor/writer and the guy behind . He has written for and currently is a contributing writer for Fox News. He is also the founder of and the Longview Dream Center in Longview, Texas. Thomas can be found on social media, Instagram and Twitter.

We are currently going through unprecedented and life-changing times. It’s very similar to the birthing process.

The earth is groaning and travailing in this season; preparing to give birth to something new entirely. Don’t think it’s strange that there are protests, pandemics, political strife, rioting in diverse places, storms brewing and unrest among the people.

During this challenging season, prophetic people are dreaming like never before! Their dreams are in alignment with current and future global events, leaders and populations. This is the time for us to exude the humility of the Lord and pray as never before, not only for your friends and family, but for your worst enemies!

I hear a shift coming that will use your supplication as its foundation. It’s warfare from a place of genuflection (on your knees in prayer). Your sincere and faith-filled petitions will shift storms, exhaust hurricanes, stop looting and stave off the assaults of the devil!

The Prophetic Power Generation

There is a new generation that will persevere in prayer and action until results manifest. Though they look different, God will raise them up as a people who generate His power as never before! They will operate in such dunamis (explosive power) that the spiritual missiles sent by the enemy toward our lands will drop or explode in the sky! I hear the Lord saying that prayer can literally change the course of Satan’s intended history for our lives. Just as the enemy thought he could disappoint your year, the tables have turned! His own strategy against you has been disappointed by the power and authority of the Almighty!

Worldwide Revival

Just as worldwide rebellion is breaking out, so is worldwide revival! Before every godly revival, there must be some type of war. That’s what we’re experiencing at the present moment. I sense an imminent divine reversal in this current tide of war. The fire that the Lord placed inside you is being reignited even as you are reading this! I heard “New Power Generation” in the spirit, and I’m not referring to a secular music group. Again, there is a generation rising up now that will walk in a new exousia (authority) and a new dunamis (power)! They won’t be afraid to prophesy the truth to world leaders (dabar). They are literally Micaiahs in the spirit realm; unafraid to speak the Lord’s truth.

Supernatural Trailblazers Will Pray With Fire and Oil

The discontent felt by the emerging next (the power generation) is a godly indignation against all that is evil. Their unrest will infiltrate their oil, providing much needed endurance or fuel for the race set before them. As they run, I see a trail of fire! I just heard the word “trailblazers”!

Glory to God!! They will walk in the supernatural as if it were the natural. Adverse situations will start to turn around when their prayers are accompanied by oil (the anointing of the Lord). After leaving their place of prayer, their lives will hold a residue that will anoint anyone who comes to sit, pray, preach or teach! Pray as never before! You will walk in new wine, oil and power. Fear will be replaced with faith. Mighty acts will be your portion!

Obedience Is Key to Breakthroughs in This Season

At this time, doing what the Lord instructed you to do is paramount. When you do, you’ll experience the turnaround and blessings you’ve been waiting for. I see that some of you have been running from your assignment, like the prophet Jonah. Like Jonah, God is shaking up your boat (your environment) and allowing you to be “thrown off” on purpose, for purpose. While in the water, you initially tried to stay afloat by your own power and will. This caused you to be swallowed up by the very problems that hid your promise. These issues were sent by the Lord, purposely, to transport you to where He was trying to get you to go in the first place!

Escaping the Belly of the Beast

While en route to the place the Lord has for you, time in the belly of your adversity will cause you to hear His voice as never before. You’ll be situated in the “belly of the beast” long enough (free from distractions) to truly listen to what He’s been saying to you all along. This beast will escort you to your mandate.

God is allowing your problems to move you closer to what He wants you to do. When released, you will have gained a new perspective and resolve to declare what “thus saith the Lord”! Then and only then will the deluge of blessings God held back from you due to disobedience begin to fall upon you like rain. Before, the water (issues) encompassed you while you were in it.

Now, on dry land, the rain (blessings) is falling upon you. Now I see you being naturally and spiritually renewed by it! Rejoice in your season of rain! It’s the rain that revives and heralds the revival. {eoa}
