Abundant Life Prophecies for 2007

|
Pastor Ted I keep hearing the phrase ‘expedient measure’ and the Lord is putting in my spirit the time when the disciples went to get the donkey and when Jesus was about to ride into Jerusalem and He said go and you’ll find the colt and bring the colt to me, it’s prepared. And I feel like the Lord is saying in this season that is right at hand there’s prepared things that the Lord is going to speak to you and you’re going to find that there’s an appointment for the expedient measure to come through you. That it’s going to be a divine time for you to step up to the call of God and not by reasoning but by divine appointment that the expedient measure for the time to fulfill the word that was coming forth and the progression of the King coming in for humanity and the Lord says that this is a season where the expedient measure is you and He’s going to call upon you and there’s going to be a prepared place ahead of you that you’re going to go with expectation and you’re not going to wonder why or how it can be but you’re going to find those divine connections for the expedient measure to come forth for such a time as this and the Lord says there’s not going to be one that’ll be less than another but there’s going to be the expedient measure of the Lord released. January 3, 2007 Not a wind of adversity, but winds of diversity Winds of what is, not winds of what’s not Psalm 135:5-7 For I know the LORD is great, and our LORD is above all Gods. 6) Whatever the LORD pleases He does. In heaven and in earth, in the seas and all deep places. 7) He causes vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightening for the rain; He brigs the wind out of His treasuries. Jonathan Hanson I really feel like this is a season of being proud of who you are. And genetics, when Barb said something about genetics, something coming out and you were born for right now. YOU were born for right now. ‘Such a time as this’, we’ve heard that said several times, that you were born for such a time as this. I just want to say that, I just have a strong sense of just being proud of who you are and it’s o.k. to be proud and not, maybe this is stretching. I even sense since everything comes from God. God put in you what you need. And it’s o.k. to be proud that you made the choice to let God do what He wanted you to do. So when something happens its o.k. to be proud that you made that choice. And God wants you to give the credit to Him but God wants you to be proud of yourself for making that choice. And I really sense that’s a strong key probably for this year. Pastor Ted Father we declare that the forerunners that have stepped forward are going to activate the forth-comers. And because there is a measure of forerunners that have already come forward the Lord says that the forerunners are going to activate the forth-comers into fullness. And it won’t be just the forerunners that receive the fullness, but it will be the fullness that receives the fullness, and the forth-comers will be activated by the forerunners, and the forerunners will again become the forth-comers. And there will be an anointing that will cause there to be a new momentum and a synergy that causes there to be a corporate flow and a corporate rising. That it won’t be just some, it won’t be just here and there, but the Lord says take readiness to your heart for God says He’s already put things in motion that have given it the start, and the forerunners are activating the forth-comers of this time. Tracy La Brie I keep getting a picture of that ship Pastor Ted in that vision we had a few years back with you on the bow and that ship just going through the water, that cutter just cutting through the water and your nose to the flint. And then it flashed back as the last two prayers were about the school and such. I saw everybody as you spoke about the hands and feet. I saw everybody start to pull on the tack and start to hoist the sails and start to work on the deck and everyone is doing their job and their part. And I believe that this year everyone is going to be doing their part. You are going to pull on the tack. You are going to find your place on the ship. There are things to do and you have to be able to make that ship continue straight and at the speed it is on. And I think – I feel like it’s totally connected to the bible school this year that as you were speaking Tom about the fullness. I speak a fullness to the daycare this year. I speak a fullness to the bible school this year. And there is something tied into it that the bible school is going to launch a speed, or by the time the bible school is done, or somewhere in the time of bible school, somehow it’s affecting the speed or the course of the ship. It’s like the propulsion of that ship. By that time things are just going to be really full. It’s full sail, full go, full board and I really feel it’s tied to the bible school and that schedule. James Dvorak I felt like God was saying, if you lean into Me I’ll jump start your mind. Basically any dead thoughts, any complacent, dumbfounded, being lazy He’s going to wake up and He’ll use your mind. And this year is a year where thoughts are put to action and that’s the ship deck. And that’s where everyone finds their spot is when you awaken yourself. If you lean into God He’s going to go that extra mile. Barb Klein God told us to get your pen and paper ready because He was going to put those ideas into our minds, those creative ideas, things for our hands and feet to do. And God said to me, “You notice I didn’t say paper and pencil. I said pen and that means when I give you a direction I don’t make a mistake. If it was a pencil you could erase it, but I don’t make mistakes. You can write it in pen. You can write it in indelible ink. You can get out a permanent marker because when I give you an idea it’s for real. It’s no mistake so go for it.” Tracy La Brie And Father I just thank you for the launching of the skiff Father. For the youth this year Lord. That the youth are going to be launched this year in a new way. With Father a brand new fresh direction, with new fire, new fervency to serve you Lord. Lord that young men are rising up but they are just an example. They are the forerunners for the forth-comers. Mary Enns …..Falling into place, falling into place - What I saw was things coming into alignment, so that things can be done. Sometimes a job that needs to get done, has more than just one thing that needs to be done……things have to fall into place, and I hear the Lord say: falling into place. Janet Robinson Boaz had given generously to Ruth, and she came back to her mother-in-law and she had this substance - she was carrying barley, like she had received provision , and she thought that was really good and that’s all she thought she had, but the mother said to her, wait! It’s even better than that, not just that you got this little bit of provision, but right now is the time for this to go to the city gate and be decided – like the matter has to be decided now, so don’t expect to get just a little piece of provision, but know that God’s bigger than that; there’s something bigger, there’s a plan that’s going to change your life that’s going to happen now. The picture that I kept seeing today was the shoe, because at the gate, when Boaz went to the gate the picture of the testimony like this is witness, this is, this is going to be, was the shoe. They handed out a shoe. It was his – I don’t even know the whole story, but I kept seeing that in light of what was preached on Sunday, by Pastor Ted about the footprints this year. The shoe has to do with the testimony of all of us together, knowing that it’s been done. It’s like right now is such a now time and God is bringing matters to the gate and they’re being decided, and it’s going to come quickly. Nate Kaemingk As this is a year of implementation, planning becomes very important…take the time to sit down and write them out…see that by the end of the year those dreams will be fulfilled, those dreams will be set into action. Part of being proud what you do is being able to say you did something. Janet (taking off a shoe) It’s a representative of all of our feet walking in the footsteps that God set before us… Pastor Phil This is a year of knowing our provider…this is a year of men coming into a place of having an excellent spirit…it’s a year for men to rise up. Kimberly Drake …this year we are going to see a sealing of that unity as we embrace the diversity… Myles Hulsey I’ve just been impressed this whole evening that this is a year of action, that we’re going to see a lot of things that we’ve seen a glimpse of spiritually, that we will see with our natural eye…everyone will be able to see…both corporately and spiritually… James Dvorak …a righteous urgency…it’s time, it’s time, it’s time…write it down, it’s huge…it’s time, it’s time, it’s time…grab strength from those who have strength…it’s not going to be contained in this house… Pastor Ted I hear the words ‘Savings and Trust’ and I see a bag of seeds and there are seeds that are put in a bag for savings and then there are seeds that are taken from the bag and they’re sown for trust. And the Lord says this is the time when He’s going to do a quick work. And there’s going to be that which has already been sown which is going to quickly come to life. And there’s going to be that which is saved which is going to quickly come to trust. And the Lord says there’s going to come a quick work in this season but you’re going to see that there’s going to be fruit. Not from that which is just in a moment but from that which is in a destiny. And God says He’s going to take that which is not the savings of men but He’s going to take that which is the savings of a man. And He’s going to cause that to be sown as the trust of the man in the man. And the Lord says then He’s going to cause it to come forth as a quick work and overnight you’ll see that what was a field of barrenness will become a field of fruitfulness. And as you see it come forth the Lord says there’s going to be an excitement that’s going to inspire others to also take from their bags of saving and sow it into the fields of trust. And the Lord says there’s going to come a great harvest that’s going to come with momentum because this is a time of a quick work says the Lord. 1-14-07 - Pastor Ted I declare that you are not just fully protected, but you are fully affected. You are fully being released. You are increasing. The tent pegs will stretch out on your life and the passion will rise up within you. Your soul will be renewed and you will see more than a breakthrough. You will see that identity that comes forth that is called you. And the anointing oil that runs down the head will flow down the beard to the hem of the robe as He said and you will reveal the glory of His Name because you are the body of Christ. Now I bless you. May peace be multiplied to you. May grace be multiplied to you in Jesus’ Name. Amen 2-18-07 -Worship, Awake and Arise morning session – If we need healing, but lack the faith to believe, Jesus has enough faith for you. He says, “Come on, I have all that is needed.” Male voice: “Come stand by me and I will strengthen you, I will lift you up, I will give you beauty for ashes, bring your trade into me and I’ll give you something that you really need.” Rhonda: I hear the Spirit of the Lord say this morning, “It is time for the church to know the value in Him, the riches in Him. You sparkle and shimmer in Him, you are not cheap, but are valuable. You were bought with a price and He came and gave His life that you might have and become the riches of His inheritance. He is raising up His church so they may know the riches of Him in the earth and that you have great value and worth today to Him.” I hear Him saying He wants to show you off to the world. I hear the Lord say there is no “Plan B” for our life and a lot of time we would like to “opt out” or take a different route, but He is saying all roads lead back to Him and there is no “opting out” today but only “Plan A” that is knowing Him as your Father. Female voice: There is healing in the house. We need to say, “I receive my gift of healing”. Say “Yes” to whatever is troubling you, physically, emotionally or spiritually. The Lord says, “I will, will you?” Music Angie…I know we can effect the atmosphere of Whatcom county. Sing this testimony as though the walls were not here. “Come to the light just as you are, you can become a friend of God…fall on the rock for the wasted years, surrender now, His power is here”. “Do you want to hear my heart beat? Put your hands on top of your chest. We are one. Do you want to feel my strength, raise your arms and let me pull you up.” Female voice: The Lord says, “I am the Lion of Judah, let the roar go through this house. Let the roar go through you in this house, into your circumstances because the power is here through the Lion of Judah here this morning.”…The Lord is in a good mood this morning, open your hearts and let Him in. 3-7-07 - Prayer Meeting - Pastor Ted: ...it’s been a number of years since I bought an American pair of shoes, and the Lord says, look at your shoes, you’re wearing an American pair of shoes, and this year this church, this house is going to have an influence in this country, in this land where you’ve been received. There’s been a huge door, and whether you realize it or not you’ve had a great impact on the United Kingdom, and you’ve been received in the grace for who you are in the United Kingdom, but not quite the same in this ground, but the Lord says look at your American shoes. This year your feet, representing the corporate body, are going to make a footprint. You are going to have an impact where you live because you are wearing that which was purchased here, so there’s an authority that God has given us to have an impact as teams here. 3-7-07 - ISAIAH 61 - WILL & TERESA I feel the Lord saying over Will & Teresa that the Spirit of the Lord has been upon the head of this body and has come on this body on your behalf, that you would know the exchange from the place which has sought to bind you to the place of poverty and refuse, and to come into the place of planting and refuge. And the Lord says because you have come into the place of planting, then this next in this season for this body. It says, then they shall rebuild the old ruins, and shall raise up the former desolations and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations, and I hear the Lord saying over Will and Teresa, and that which they represent in this house, the Lord says, there’s a grace that’s come upon you from this place of planting now, that you’re going to rebuild old ruins, raise up desolations, and repair ruined cities, and there will be a testimony that in me you live, and in me you move and have your being, and your bringing forth this, even to the generation that I’ve entrusted to you. For the Lord says that the most vulnerable thing in this house is that which has been in lack, and that which was in lack in this house is teenagers, and seed that would come to a generation that would rise up and say, we are not a fatherless generation, but we are a generation who have been connected to the fathers and to the mothers, and we come forth from a womb of hope and we come into a mantle of dignity and glory, and the Lord says, I speak over Will and Teresa now and declare that I have entrusted you with that which was the most vulnerable thing in my house and declaring that teenagers will rise up under your care, and they will come forth and there will be a rebuilding of that which was ruined, and there will be a raising up of that which was made desolate, and there will be a repairing of that which was ruined in relationship and community. Verse is now coming to pass for you, and is a hallmark of what God is bringing. And the Lord says, as a sign, what will come forth will even be a rebuilding and a raising up and a repairing of your own dwelling place, and God says I will bring forth a house and a provision for you, and there will be that which will be bountiful, but it’s not because you’re looking for that which is found in a geographical substance, but it’s that which will come forth our of a spiritual inheritance that will dwell and ground you in the things of me. And there’ll be great favor that will come upon you, and many will wonder how this favor came, and the Lord says I’m doing this as a sign to this house to declare that the days of poverty are gone, and the days of bankruptcy are in the past. The Lord says that I’ve given you the greater portion already, and that you are rich in my midst and because you are rich, you will come forth with the grace of inheritance, and that grace of inheritance will even cause you to reap 100-fold of that which you would have received, had it not been lost. You will receive that in abundant measure, and it will be a testimony, for it was with the pressure that it’s come forth, for with the pressure that it comes forth, it will come to birth in this season, says the Lord, and I will cause even your practical dwelling place to expand both for Will and Teresa, and I will even cause the practical dwelling place of this church to expand, that there might be many who will be entrusted to you and will come forth in the generations, and they will be revealed; they will be raised up, and they will be repaired, and they will be a confession that I am God in their midst, and they will no longer be called the strangers, for they will be the adopted says the Spirit of the Lord. Pastor Darcy - 3/11/07 Healing is a prophetic act. If you can speak it out you can obtain it. If you can understand the prophetic nature of healing, as you speak it out, you believe it, you can receive it and you achieve it because your healing has already been achieved it is already manifesting in your body. I think it was Wesley who said if you had the desire, and you know God’s desire is already in heaven there, then what happens is it’s already manifested in the earth, all you have to do is walk in it. It’s time for us to see ourselves healed. Kim Clement has this little song that says you’re somewhere in the future and you look much better than you look right now. God doesn’t want us to live in pain. He wants us to live in healing. You can be an instrument of healing wherever you go. If you can see yourself healed then you can walk in a new dimension of faith. Faith is the substance of something that’s there; you know its there just take it. If you could see yourself in the future, that’s why Jesus said they all could be healed. They knew that if Jesus was there, a healing would manifest. So if you believe it, it will manifest. If you have accepted Jesus Christ, then He lives inside of you and you can heal too. Every morning when you wake up say, “I don’t need this thing”. Worship Service: 3/11/07 In John 4, Jesus told the woman at the well this is what the Father desires: To have children who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Every one of us in this room is made to do that. We are all children created to worship Him in sprit and truth and no matter where we are on that journey that is what we are made for. I see us as all kinds of different instruments that are part of an orchestra this morning and all it takes this morning is a “Yes” in our hearts and a stepping into what is flowing in the worship and God is tuning each one of us, bringing us into more of that child who worships us in spirit and in truth. So tune my heart this morning, Lord, tune my strings. Some of us are trumpets. Cause me to come into tune with the sound that’s flowing in this place as we worship You in one heart and one spirit. Pastor Ted: We open up our hearts to receive the goodness that’s found in Your name. We open up our bodies to be touched by Your hand. It’s then that we will understand. When Your Spirit submerges our minds and makes them new, then we know we delight in You. Joanna Hanson - Poem: I am a woman of God. 3/15/07 - Bob Nichols Any revelation (divine encounter with the Word or Spirit) we receive from God that is not acted upon and expanded is sent into exile, lost somewhere. He expects us to use the revelation as a starting point not an end-all. We are to be transformed by it into action. God always fulfills His promises to you, but not always your potential. Prophecies may have been descriptions by God of what’s possible beyond yourself. Whatever you’ve been given, it’s our responsibility to expand it – it is an inheritance for the upcoming generation. We are to cultivate and push the boundaries to carry God’s revelation to the next level. We all have wounds. They are sacrifices incognito so in order not to get a martyr complex we have to press on to joy in the midst of the trial. It’s our job to not be offended, but to maintain an attitude of honor. We are to take an inventory of the people God has put in our lives, our leaders and mentors, and reflect upon our attitude of honor toward them. Worship Service: 3/25/07 Aaron: Today in the prayer room it was revealed that God has new things for us. Usually we think of new things as things that we want; a new shirt that we picked out or shoes we’ve tried on and want. But it’s not always that way. God takes us out of our comfort zone and stretches us so we may feel that this is not me. I feel that God’s asking the question, “Are we willing to open our hearts and receive these new things?” Jonathan: Someone has a headache in the room and I feel like you are to come forward and the Lord will heal you, you don’t need to have hands laid on you. I feel like some of you this week feel like there has been a disturbance going on that has blocked you from hearing God or just blocked you from feeling good. If you believe it God can break this from you. You have to believe, He’s not going to do it just to do it, but it requires you believing He will; you have to make the first step. Pastor Phil: How could it be any better than this? The prophets of old longed to experience what we have today. That we could know our sins are forgiven and His Spirit lives within us. On Pentecost there was a fire that came and rested on their heads. Today we have the same fire that has come to purify us and takes us from the place of thinking we are just a worm in the dust that cannot be used by God to realizing we are the righteousness of God. The Spirit of Life is in the house. He came to heal the broken-hearted and set captives free. Be bold and let that holy fire in your belly convince you that you are who He created you to be. If you’re feeling unattached that’s not true, we are the body of Christ and every part has a function. 4-4-07 - Pastor Ted …This is going to be a major, major year of harvest coming in… Rhonda: Have we thanked Him today? He gave His very best for us, Thank Him. God is such an extravagant God and paid the ultimate price that we would have eternal life. According to John 17 Life is this: that we would know the Father and the Son in whom He sent. Jonathan: The Lord says release those places in our hearts where we have judged others, those “opinions”. We release those to You - any judgments, any judgments on the power of God moving on us. Pastor Phil: The Lord says He’s releasing the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord in this house, not just to this house but also to the nations. The Prophetic Spirit is going forth and the knowing of powers is going forth and my grace is going forth. I’m releasing it this day in this house for it comes with inheritance. The inheritance is not for you, but for these generations. Don’t look for the things for it’s not in the things I reside, but the things I release. For it’s in the 42nd generation I’m establishing this day. This day, don’t seek it tomorrow. Look into the future; use the Spirit of the Lord to see into the future. See where I’ve taken the earth; see where I’ve taken my kingdom to see what has been established; to see who I am. TO SEE WHOM I AM. I AM THE SPIRIT OF THE ALMIGHTY and I reign. I am a new way, a new passion it is in me that you are going to reside. Don’t look for inheritance in “stuff”. I am your inheritance. It is for those who come after you; look to pass it on. Jonathan: “Release the fire…” Shout!!! Female voice: We’re asking Him to release the fire is as simple as saying, “I will”. I will go forth, I will let Your love flow through me! Pastor Phil: The Spirit of God is the Spirit Mighty in battle when we need to fight the enemy, but when we need someone to cuddle with and hold us He is there also. He will be a Father to us and a Mother to hold and heal us. 4/22/07 - Worship I feel like God told us that we should not hold back and that we should dive into Him with all we are. This morning Nathan didn’t feel like it but he was choosing to go for it. Aaron said that there might be distractions in the way, but we should be poised to go fast and go into God. Debbie: The Lord said, “Do you want the higher calling? In order to have the higher calling you have to choose the higher calling.” I had to leave behind those things that were pulling on me, I had a pull in my heart, I had to get away from the pull and I had to choose the higher calling, which is Him. Female voice: The thought came, do song birds ever wake up cranky or their legs fall asleep, no it has been programmed into them to bring Him joy no matter what the circumstances. I too, am going to bring Him joy no matter what the circumstances. Female Voice: Poetry: For the pursuer comes, Rhonda: So we choose today - Him as our one Lord. There are other lords that might fight for our attention and might try to distract us, but we choose Him and say, God, you are our one Lord. The one Lord who is above all and through all. Jonathan: All offering is, is dying to self, what you want, and giving to God all that you have. That is what an offering is. It hurts in your heart, that’s what it is meant to do. You can’t see what the results will be. This is true faith, a letting go of what’s in your life, what you want and giving it to God. This morning I sense the house needs to catch the dying to self-thing. Worship Service: 4/27/07 – Pastor Ted: Mercy triumphs over judgment. You are being revealed in this place in Bellingham. Come Holy Spirit, come testify of the name of Jesus, testify that He forever lives. Thank you Lord that you put it in our hearts to love You, and that we are doing things we didn’t expect to do. Tracy: Steve and Rita, you are a part of Abundant Life and we come under you and submit to you as a pastor. We impart and give you everything that Abundant Life represents. As you go back across the pond you will carry everything that we are to you in Jesus’ name. You have already been transformed. Blessed, you will be blessed coming and going and even in your own home you will be daily blessed. God is opening a door for you of abundance and blessing that you have never seen before and in a magnitude that you’ve never seen before so just get ready and impart. 6/5/07 - Pastor Ted We thank You that in this place things don’t just come together, but they come together for a purpose. We thank You that this is a season there is a new level coming, a new breakthrough level coming that’s going to cause there to be a blessing to the nations, a blessing to the community, a blessing as a community and a blessing as nations. We thank You, God, that there’s a new momentum that’s being released in this season that is joining concourses. And the purpose of that, that there’s that which comes in and that which goes out, but the source of that that comes in and the source of that that goes out is the connection center. So we thank You, God, that You are establishing the connecting center. We thank You that we have just come through a season where there’s been a testimony of the aircraft carrier…(Steve & Rita) Kelina …don’t sit there and let the birds eat your seed. June 2007 What I saw in the Spirit was this huge wave, it was huge, it came in and it was a cleansing wave, and it washed all the stuff off of the beach, all the crud, all the trash, and all the garbage. It left a clean, clean beachhead. I saw that again today in our lives, that God is coming with a wave, it’s a wave-x’2, its a cleansing wave, and its taking the garbage, its taking the trash, its taking everything that we’ve had stand in the way of the beach-head that God wants to bring into our lives. Tracy La Brie: The Lord put a gunny sack full of coins in my hand, and then and He held another gunny sack full of coins in it, and there’s a slit in it and the coins are falling out, then the next thing I saw were gold coins just raining down. And I took the first gunnysack and I chucked it over and it landed over in a treasure chest, in a cave. And what He was telling me out of that is; the enemy has stolen a lot of stuff from us and we’ve lost a lot of stuff, and He’s building in the last six years here at Abundant Life, worked on our character. I misunderstood that bag that was ripped. God was telling me to forget about the things that we’ve lost; it’s in a cave. Forget about those things, because the law of double says what? That He’s going to return to you the same as if it was the original, like you’ve never even lost it in the first place. That was the rain of coins coming down. God says there’s some pain involved with character building. And that’s the slit in the bag. He comes along and slits your bag because He doesn’t want your coins to end up in YOUR bag. He wants your coins, your inheritance to flow through you. It’s to dump out. I see it so clearly, and your bag isn’t big enough to catch the coins raining down on this house and on this area in this season. You cannot, - don’t - you can’t - don’t try to, contain the stuff that’s pouring out. Don’t try to contain the blessings of God that are coming to you because it’s going to go through you. But its not going to go through you if you don’t allow Him to cut your bag. You got to allow the cut. You got to take the pain, you’ve got to suck it up. I don’t know how else to say it besides that, because it does hurt, and it’s hard to let go of things we want. But the enemies come in and he’s stolen a lot, a lot of stuff from us - lots of stuff – kids – this isn’t just money, I’m not talking just stuff, I’m talking inheritance to our kids, things that we have, the enemies taken it and he’s hidden it in the cave. And God is saying, “I’m not going after that stuff, I’m giving you brand new as if you never lost it. So get ready and understand that as a family unit it’s going to be a corporate thing, because it’s a family unit. But you have to allow the character building in this. Corporate Prayer Word - July 3, 07 We declare not just a shifting upon the earth but a shifting in the earth to take place. We declare right now that hearts will shift in Your direction - we declare that the tectonic plates of the human heart will shift - and the fissures of the human heart will open up - and the treasures of the human heart will be revealed to You. That the passion of the human heart will be revealed to You - We call the fire of heaven to erupt in the hearts of human beings in this region, I declare a shift in the tectonic plates of the human heart, not for evil but for good. I declare a shifting tonight in Jesus name in this region, not to reveal darkness, but to reveal passion - true passion - passion for God - a waking up unto God - not a waking up because of trouble - but a waking up unto God. I call the lava of the heart to flow right now in Jesus name, I declare the lava of the heart to flow... and there will be a new reformation - a reformation - that firm things will be established that haven't been seen before - in Jesus name. We speak to the tectonic plates in the heart of this nation - we call a shifting in the heart of this nation to You God. You are the One that declared that there would be strands of morality reinstated in politics, and reinstated in the media. You said that there would be strands of morality reinstated in this country, but that in itself would not be the hope, but the hope would be the hearts of men turning to You, so we call now that the tectonic plates of the human heart would shift - and the fissures of the ocean's depth would open up - we call for a different Tsunami than the Tsunami of the past... we call for a title wave that says, "We want You!" We call for a title wave that doesn't wash away the things of the enemy, but reveals the things of God - the hidden treasures of the very ocean depth. We shift the lava flow of the human heart of this nation. That passion and fire be released! That worship will come! We shift the tectonic plates of this nation to worship you - come on church - don't give up now - come on - we call it forth now in Jesus name - we call the hidden treasure to be revealed... we declare things of the past to be swallowed up and things of the present in You to be revealed in Jesus name. Cause the plates of the human heart to shift - that passion for You would rise up. Come on church, press in, press in. Lord we declare that oil comes from the earth - oil comes from the center of the earth - oil comes from the place where it's hot - we call right now that the oil wells - the place where it's hot -where the oil breaks every yoke - the oil breaks every yoke - we call Christ in us to rise up! The Christ in this nation to rise up - the Christ in this region to rise up! And Lord, we declare right now that we're not looking for oil in others, we're not looking for oil in another place, we're calling the tectonic plates to shift, we're calling the depth to open up, we're calling upon the Christ in us - the anointing oil - the grease that flows... we're calling to break the yoke! And Lord we thank You that You're shifting things right now from mechanics to organism, from organization to organism... where mechanical devices have to have oil added to them - we declare that this is not a mechanical devise, this is the body of Christ and oil is rising up from within it. The Lord says that 'He's doing a shift' x3, watch and see x2, the Lord says I'm shifting tectonic plates of the human heart - watch and see - I'm gonna reveal from the heart a passion for Me - watch and see for it's not gonna come forth from trouble, but it's gonna come forth from passion, it's gonna come forth from desire, even now, I'm shifting, and the Lord says dreams are going to increase and vision is going to become intensified. The Lord says provision is here and ready now, for the Lord says it's waiting on You and your fire and your passion to declare from within that which you see - for that which you see shall be! And the Lord proposes a question to you tonight - The Lord says, "If I ask What do you see, what will You say? If I say what do you see? What will you say? x2" And the Lord says, " Now is the time to be alert and awake and inspired - it's not a striving thing, but it's an awareness, - [press in a bit more - come on, come on, break this thing through] We thank you for the increase. Come on, we declare that out of the belly, of the heart, it's coming - a glory to Your name. The Lord says He is seeking those - He is going to and fro seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth and for too long his people have been going to and fro seeking that they might find - but the Lord says He's looking for those who will stand. He's looking for those who will stand, seeking, and stand, asking, and stand, knocking - He's looking for those who will lift up holy hands and declare that He is an awesome God from the depths of their heart and the Lord says He will be the One that goes to and fro and no longer will it be the migrant, no longer will it be the immigrant, no longer will it be the transient, who will go to and fro, but it will be the steadfast Eternal One who encompasses all things who will move to and fro and the steadfast, seeking Him, will find their comfort and find their life. [A bit more, come on, little more, press through this thing] - We trust the language of Your Spirit x3, we trust the lava flow... we trust the lava flow within in Jesus name. The Lord says, "You've been moving by the mind, seeking to find that place of the heart and the Lord says I'm stirring now even in this nation to cause the heart to seek me and in the heart rising up, the mind shall be renewed in it's spirit," says the Lord. And the mind shall come forth with clarity and thoughts will come forth for identity, and thoughts will come forth not just for security, but they'll come forth for a different kind of surety. For the security that I desire, says the Lord is a security for others, not a security for self, and there's gonna come forth a new confidence, and a new boldness, as the hearts of My people are stirred towards Me. As the hearts are opened up again, wide, for the tectonic plates of the human heart are shifting this very night says the Lord and the human heart is gonna open to Me, and there's gonna come forth a revealing of the hidden treasures beneath and the Lord says from that place will come thoughts to your mind but you cannot find the heart from the mind, you can only find the mind from the heart. So the Lord says - turn this thing around, turn this thing around... turn this thing around says the Lord - it's time for my body to stand on it's head - it's time for my body to stand on it's head - x2, for the Lord says, I am your Head and you can stand on Me. You can count on me, you can trust me, you can identify with Me, you can go forward with Me, You can expect increase with Me, you can look to the North, the South, the East and the West and you can expect the best, says the Lord, when you stand on Me. For I'm calling My body this night to stand on it's head - stand on your head x2 Body of Christ! For the Lord says, the commission has come and the calling is sure and now I'm going to cause there to be a shifting in the heart and you'll find that your mind will be renewed when you stand on your head, says the Spirit of God. Janet Robinson: I don't know if anyone else sees what I saw as Pastor Ted was praying - we know that God has set Pastor Ted as a prophetic point in this area - and what I saw was that as he was praying about the oil being released, I saw us going this way with him in the center, and it reminded me of a time that we interceded before but we were - this great big huge oil drill was starting - it was slow as we started praying and as we prayed it started moving this way and it's in the Northwest and God wants to release something as he's prophesying tonight, and I believe that we need to do that prophetically right now to say yes to what God's doing... Pastor Ted: We tap into Your heart Father God! We tap into Your heart! For Your heart beats with in the earth - You've called the tribes, the tongues, the peoples and the nations to be released and even now You're going into the very core! - The oil that's in the heart - where you said that the yoke would break when the oil would flow! And Lord You declared to me - years ago - You declared to me that "as good as the well is, the hole will be confirmed" and too long My body has been drilling for water when they should be drilling for oil! Says the Lord - for it is not the blessings of water that I desire alone, but it is the oil that breaks the yoke. For the Lord says from the very heart of this people is gonna come forth a holy nation - and they will lift up holy hands, not because they understand, but because they stand in Me - and the shackles and the chains that have held a people to degradation will be broken by the anointing oil of a holy nation - so the Lord says Set down the driller now and let the oil come forth for the Lord says there's a new power source coming forth into this region and that power source is the anointing oil that breaks every yoke and the sick will not only be healed but the treasures of health will be revealed! For the Lord says there's an anointing oil that comes greater than the cassia, there's an anointing oil that comes greater than the anointing oil of the olive tree - there's an anointing that comes greater - for the Lord says that greater oil is the fullness in Me - and it's an intimacy - that breaks shackles and chains and causes darkness to break free to the glorious light of my name! So we set the point down tonight - and we declare that we are saying that "as good as the well is, the hole will be confirmed" we prophesy over this very body - and we declare that at one time we were drilling for water and we struck water and we thought that the blessing was great and we rolled in the river and we said "this is it, we're blessed x4," but the Lord says set down the point again, for it's time to strike oil! It's time to drill deep, its time to drill where it's hot. its time to drill where it's hard. it's time to drill where there comes forth a victory of wealth and liberty and unction! and function, and prosperity, and purpose and clarity and surety of security, for others, says the Lord. Even now, set the point and let the drill come forth with the anointing oil that breaks the yoke. Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh .... OH........HO........OH! And the Lord says I have hardened the metal of this house, I have not just made it valuable in it's appearance, I have made it valuable in it's substance. I've hardened the metal of this house - that it might drill deeper - and the Lord says there's gonna come forth a GUSHERRR... there's gonna come forth 'a GUSHER'... x2 of my anointing oil - a GUSHER........! And the Lord says, it's the DNA of my heart says God - it's the DNA of my heart! The Lord says, even in the natural, oil has gone up in your land. Even in the natural there seems to be a resistance and a complaining about the oil - but the Lord says the oil that I'm bringing forth is a costly oil - the oil that I'm bringing forth is an oil of value, the oil that I'm bringing forth is an oil that causes nations to be freed - for the Lord says, I have not desired one, I've desired heads of households to come forth to My Name - I've desired family lines and family trees to come forth to My purpose, so even now I'm going deeper, and I'm shifting the tectonic plates of the human heart and I'm calling that oil will flow like lava! It will flow forth and it will come from the heart of the nations. The Lord says, watch and see, in the next 2 months there's gonna come forth a break through and you're gonna declare, this is Jubilee! - but the Lord says, it's only the beginning... it's only the beginning... and the Lord says, don't be distracted by the peripheral edges of joy for the Lord says there's a greater gusher that I desire to employ, and I'm gonna cause there to be such an anointing that changes circumstances and situations and causes there to be a revelation a My holiness and My goodness and My name. And so the Lord says, "Let it flow, let it flow... and do not stop at it's tributaries, do not stop in it's tributaries - for the enemy would set forth tributaries like cul-de-sac traps to distract you from drilling deeper, but the Lord says don't be distracted by the tributaries to the side, for the tributaries are not the place where I abide, the tributaries are not the place where I reside - for The Lord says it's deep in Me where I am calling you to go and even now there's coming forth an oil of intimacy, an oil of covenant, an oil of clarity, an oil of surety for others, an oil of security for others, an oil of vision, and definition and design, says The Lord, and it shall come forth as an anointing oil not of mechanism, not an anointing oil of mechanics, but an anointing oil of relationship, and so watch and see as I bring it forth, but in the next 2 months there's going to come great joy, but do not stop at the great joy, for there's a greater plan when you find the place of the well that's resident within the man - for the Lord says there will come forth a corporate oil in this time and you will see that those who stand on their head will come forth with a glory that I have said. And this is the day when you shall say - "We will go all the way X4, for we are not looking for words that come from your mouth oh God to bless the pillows of our heads, but we are believing for the treasure that comes from Your heart to reside in our mouth to be the word that You’ve said. For there's going to be an embodiment of You and we declare that we are saying Yes to You tonight - so we set the point and we drill deep, and we say Yes to Your purpose and Your plan. 7/8/07 – Worship - Janice Palmby There was an anticipation of something fresh. The Holy Spirit’s making fresh bread for His body. He’s excited, anticipatory and participatory. He said there was a drag in the spiritual realm over emotions; barely able to move. … If you wake up in the morning, noonday, or night to the fresh bread smell you’ll pop up looking for the butter, honey, jam, or sandwich-makings. So Father, I decree the smell of fresh bread for this region. The fresh bread of heaven baked by the Holy Spirit daily. The kingdom of God come to earth, in the earth. I pray this smell go out and that it remains in those who eat that others would be drawn to You, Father, to Your house, to Your Son, the true and living bread. With this they’ll find the hope of home, the Father’s house, there is a family. (Pastor Ted: “We’re the bread”) 7/15/07 – Worship - Pastor Ted I hear the Lord saying, I’m visiting my people again with the power of My Spirit. The power of My Spirit is not going to just heal diseases, but the Lord says, it is My desire to release a healed people, a healed people to touch sick nations. The Lord says the goodness of My name is going to be made known because I am good and I am your God. I am good and I am your God. 8/5/07 – Worship - Ivan Sims I hear the Lord saying; fear not, for I am with you. Take courage; be of good courage strengthened with might by My Spirit, says the Lord. For His grace is sufficient for whatever we face. He makes us able to the task. He makes a way where there is no way - at least it appears that way to us, in our eyes. He says lift up your eyes, where does your help come from? Help comes from the Lord. He has made heaven and earth. He is able to move mountains. He will part seas. 8/7/07 – Prayer - Tracy –I speak a release to new businesses in the house; a release to open, a release to open, a release to open a new courage. There are new courage ideas to step out in the realm of business. Opening new employment, new businesses, new sales, management, shipping, receiving, goods to be sold. I speak a release to that right now in the prophetic. I see that just dumping in; I speak a release to that now in this house. There are new businesses that are being birthed. They are already beginning to grow. The ideas have already been birthed. I see that the ideas have been birthed. Inventions to grow, inventions to grow, inventions to grow. Internet to grow. This address even to grow. I don’t know what that is, but even this address to grow business wise, in Jesus’ name. I speak more real estate, more real estate, more real estate, more real estate, more real estate for this house regionally. I release that. We claim that now in the name of Jesus name, more real estate that you have intended for Abundant Life, Lord, it’s ours; it’s part of the inheritance, real estate. Be it this side of the border, or that side of the border, or borders overseas, Father, we claim that real estate for Abundant Life for Your name - Your kingdom, Lord, for Your kingdom. It’s Your kingdom, Your property, but we’re going to claim that and be faithful with what You are releasing to us this year, this year, this year new properties released to this house. New properties released out of the blue, just given and even hidden are just going to come out of obscurity and they are going to be released. Spiritually there is going to be new real estate given, new houses, new homes spiritually. New houses and new homes are going to be birthed and they are going to be delivered. They are going to be delivered, delivered, delivered this year. Get ready, get ready, get ready. You’re going to have so many deliveries in this house, that birthings are going to go on in this house that you’re almost not going to be prepared for it, but the Lord says, I’m prepared for it. I’m prepared for it, says the Lord, so don’t worry about giving birth, I can handle the newborns, I can handle the newborns, I can take care of the mess, don’t worry but you’re going to birth. You’re going to birth this year. This year there are going to be many births, many births, many births, many births, many births, many births in Jesus’ name. Prophetic Word to Abundant Life Church Bellingham The Lord says that there has been a shift in the tectonic plates on the West Coast of America. I heard the “clunk” and my whole body shook with the weight of the shift. (It quite took me by surprise!). Whoa! The Lord says, “I am pouring out a fresh anointing of my love and grace in this area. It will bring to life the dry and arid region (in the natural and the spiritual)”. I feel Arizona is especially on my heart here. “I will do that which is unusual and peculiar, an unusual and unexpected breakthrough, a pouring out of my love and grace that will affect issues of the heart of my people”, says the Lord. “The area where things have seemed to have been withdrawn from your grasp is now being released to you, - released into your hands. It HAS been released, but it has not yet arrived into your hands. It is on its way. Keep praying, full of faith.” I believe the Lord is referring to something that I saw in the spirit some months ago, and shared with Janet Robinson, when I saw “things” being sucked back, withdrawn, like that which happens during a tsunami and it’s like the tsunami has been released from the depths of the earth and it’s a God thing and it is racing back to water the land, to bring forth fertile soil where there was once barrenness, to bring forth life, abundant life – bringing with it in its flow far more than could ever have been expected. I feel again in this respect that one of the areas about which the Lord is talking about is the Indian nations – God has shaken the earth to achieve His purposes and destiny for the Nations within a Nation that I prophecied last Sept/Oct that God would give you access to. Aaarrgh! Daniel 10: 12 “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your hearts to understand and to humble yourself before God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. V14 “Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter day, for the vision refers to many days yet to come” Seems to me like Daniel was in the middle of a big God encounter here! …But the appointed time was long – he was probably getting a little impatient! God is bringing release to long appointed times!!!! I’m getting more contractions even as I’m typing this out! Yikes! You will be familiar with this Chapter I am sure, but the Lord put on my heart that He would say to you my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord that from the very first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. V19” Oh man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong! So when he spoke to me I was strengthened.” The Lord has heard your cry on behalf of the land and what seems to have been a long appointed time (when we are waiting) is just half hour in heaven and we recall what happened in Revelation 8: 5 “then came the noises, thunderings, lightening and an earthquake”… As the shift is occurring both sides of the Atlantic, in the spirit, there has been a great and sometimes painful shaking as things have been fleshed out in two and three and four in heavenly places (Pastor Ted – I haven’t a clue what I’m trying to say here Sir, but I’m sure you will understand the pain preceding the promise – and I know by the Spirit that you have more understanding than I, concerning that which I am trying to articulate here). “So get ready” says the Lord, “Open your hands, open your hearts for I am coming from the North and the South and the East and the West that I might answer the cry from the stones of the very earth that I have created. So set your face towards Me,” says the Lord. (Whooaa - Another clunk and another shift) !!! Blessed be the name of the Lord. 9-9-07 - Pastor Ted A name is a character, nature, a way, a power and an authority. A name is the substance of the Father’s house. If you ask anything in My name, if you ask anything in Me, if you ask anything in the abiding place, if you ask it from the scabbard, if you ask it from the place, I will do it. But if you’re just some wild sword out there somewhere but you haven’t figured out where you fit, don’t go adding My name to your works of death. The Spirit of the Lord says you’ve called out and you’ve sung about the eyes of your heart being open to Me and you’ve asked that the eyes of your heart be opened so that you could see and you could see clearly. The Lord says in the season I’ve brought forth a deeper shift, a deeper shift in the heart of the human race. And in this time there’s going to come a different view of seeing than before. For many have looked to see it coming from afar, but the Lord says I’ve called that you would see it from the place where you are. And there’s going to come a new understanding in the season in the earth. Will you be a part? Will you receive it? Will you see what I desire for you to see? For the Lord says I’m bringing forth a testimony of inheritance and a revealing of My name in a new way. For God says there will be much revealed of Me when there is much seen of Me. But the place is not a place that is far away, the place is the place where you hear Me speak and hear Me say that I am your Father and you are My children. And as My children you rise up for the family business; you rise up for the family inheritance; you rise up for the family testimony; and you begin to become consumed with the zeal of the house of the Lord. And you begin to see My seven-fold spirit rise in your heart and a new fervor and a new fire. For God says I am bringing forth a habitation and it shall be a testimony of my glory. And the Lord says there are governments in the land that are waiting for the transition. There are governments in the land that are waiting not merely for a break through, but there are governments that are waiting for light to come to darkness and for Might to come to the places of death. And the Lord says, would you be that people? Would you be that people that no longer look afar off but look in the place where you are and you see that I am with you and that I am in you and that I am bringing forth My grace in that territory and that I will allow you to experience and explore the place of fit and you will understand that you are clearly it? You are the one that I have chosen, the one that I have placed in this abiding grace. The Lord says this is a season of new life not only for you, but a new life through you. For the life will flow, and the river will be clear, and the river will be washing and regenerating, and it will bring forth a testimony of My name. This is the season, this is the hour, but it is not about power, it’s about knowing Me. And the Lord says in that place, there will be an extended arm of life and there will be salvation that will come that will bring restoration into places of desolation. For this is My will. I am your Father, you are My children. Will you seek to find that place? The place that is near and the place that will become clear when I show you that I am with you and I am in you and that you fit in Me. So look for the Father’s face and look to understand the Father’s grace for this is the hour of My testimony, says God. 9/9/07 – Worship - Janet Robinson One of the things that I believe is on the Lord’s heart this morning very much is kingdom time. He is so wanting us to “just say yes”, and “just” maybe is not fair because saying “yes” is just going with what He’s doing, we always need to say ‘no” to fear and say “yes” to Him and say “no” to fear and follow. Barb A. … God told me this morning that every person here, you’re all His creation, and yet Satan hit on us and killed some of our cells but Jesus Christ is making every single cell in our being to come to life. Every person here is so beautiful, you are so beautiful and God sees you and He sees His babies, He sees your beauty and He sees your potential. And God is filling each of us with more and more and more until we just explode into the eternal realm. And this realm brings healing to every person here. It brings healing to every person in the world. It brings life and brings real, true relationship with Jesus Christ, Almighty God. It’s holiness, it’s resting in the bosom of His love. It’s being filled with His creation, His creative imagination, and performing His mighty works in the earth. And when we see people suffering, or a bomb on the road, we see God’s love in them and we will be going up and touching these people and it’s going to be like touching lepers, they’re unclean. But you know what, Jesus touched every leper. Life is going to spring forth. Every kidney, every liver is going to be healed, every heart is going to be healed and every part, in Jesus’ name. Rhonda God says, I am your head and you can stand on Me, you can count on Me, you can trust Me. You can identify with Me you can go forward with Me. You can expect increase with Me. You can look to the north, the south, the east and the west and you can expect the best, says the Lord, when you stand on Me. For I’m calling My body this night to stand on its head. You remember it? So God, I speak that same grace to this room tonight that as we wake up this week and as good moments and bad moments, it doesn’t matter, there’s going to be a peace that surpasses understanding, there’s going to be a revelation of grace that we cannot comprehend and there’s going to become a new expectation, new expectancy that with it you’re going to be able to put weight in your footsteps, You’re going to be able to put the weight of your whole being into the place where your feet walk. - a new confidence. I speak that into your spirit and your souls that the footsteps, you won’t have to apologize where your foot is going, but you’re going to put your whole weight into it. And your day is going to change because you’ve put your whole weight into your day. You’ve put your presence into your day and therefore your day is going to come alive because you don’t live in the place where your foot stands. You live in heaven therefore; the place where your foot stands is going to come alive. Pastor Ted September 23, 2007 There’s a shift…God says, Conference 9/26/07 - Pastor Ted - Who Possesses the Gates Nor will He say, “See here or see there, for indeed the kingdom of God is within you.” Can I tell you that the next great reformation on planet earth is not coming from an outpouring of revival. It’s coming from an outpouring of those who no longer see themselves as merely a people pressed for survival, but they will believe finally and they will act accordingly and they will IMAGINE! Imaginations will expand and influence will come forth when belief is established in the heart. We’re in a season where God is shifting. He’s saying, “I want you to possess the inheritance.” Conference 9/27/07 - Apostle Andrew Shearman Ps. 45: “Set your mind now on sons, don’t dote on Fathers and Grandfathers. You’ll set your sons up as princes all over the earth. I’ll make you famous for generations. You’ll be the talk of the town for a long time.” Now, I have to tell you, that second part I don’t give a rip about. Fame and fortune nauseate me, but for the cause of Christ if I became famous, so be it. I don’t care, I really mean that. What I do care about is that first bit, about sons. Set your mind, this is the word of the Lord to us. Set your mind now on sons, don’t dote on Fathers and Grandfathers. So, possessing our inheritance; the inheritance is people. More specifically, it is sons and daughters. Your church, the pot, was marred. It was the potter who made a marred pot and He used the same clay. That same church that has been marred is what God wants. Ha, Ha! That same marriage that has been marred is what God wants. Let Him mend it. That same you that has been messed up, be it unto me, because I know you. So whatever He says to you, do it. Rocks Know, a poem by Kelina Victor I see You walking, strolling through the forest. As I wonder I notice the rocks are leaping, jumping, skipping I fall to my knees before You, September 28, 2007 The Spirit of the Lord says I’m restoring the imagination. I’m restoring the imagination of the human nature, I’m restoring the imagination of the human being, I’m restoring the human creation, I’m restoring the imagination of that which was made in my likeness and my image. I want the imagination of the church to wake up, I want the imagination of the church to come alive, I want to expand the boundaries of the imaginations because what ever you imagine is what you will influence with. October 2,2007 - Tracy LaBrie There’s a new spirit of evangelism on this body, a new spirit of evangelism on this body and it’s going to be an ease…there’s an ease in that new evangelism… Pastor Ted - October 7, 2007 The Spirit of the Lord says, “I’ve set down footsteps for you, Will you open your eyes to see them? Or will you be distracted by winds that blow? “Because the Lord says, “The footsteps I’ve set before you are places for your feet to be placed firmly upon and there’s no natural wind, there’s no opposition coming contrary to the purposes of Me that can alter the strategies I’ve set out. For in times past I’ve told you I’ve had plans, but I’ve opened the door now for strategies to make an impact. I’ve set out footsteps before you, and you think that you’ve come to a gathering which was a gathering where I would tell you what to do, but I brought you to a gathering where I could show you who I AM. And in showing you who I AM, I want you to see who you are. And in seeing who you are, I want you to understand that My heart’s desire is not to prepare a place for you, but to invade a place with you and to extend my arm of salvation and to bring forth my goodness to the earth. I’ve set footsteps before you and some of you have begun to move in to the imaginations of your mind and you’ve seen things that are bigger than what your feet have determined your mind to see before.” And the Lord says, “Do not be distracted by that which is far off but receive the appointment that’s set before you. For feet are meant to fit in footprints and I’ve set footprints ahead of you for the path of destiny. Pastor Ted By the way there’s a prophetic sign in those babies… It’s not an accident that we have two babies being born at conference time and the first baby’s a little girl. The first baby, Aubrey Anne Hanson, she had a little lengthy time coming but she was born in peace. There’s nothing about her that’s not feminine. She’s a very feminine looking little girl. You look at her; she looks like a little girl. No confusion. She’s a little girl. And she represents the Father’s heart for the life giving nature of the church that although she was a little long in coming she came and she was born in peace and she’s a bringer of peace. She’s a gatherer anointing of peace. And she’s bringing that life because that’s the nature of the church. God says there’s a generation that’s coming that’s going to be a life giving generation and they are going to manifest the peace of the Lord. They’re going to bring forth the goodness and the substance of Him. And then little Noah, He came right after the conference. Aubrey was a little earlier than her due date. Noah was a little late in his. And Noah came with a very difficult delivery. Jaimee had a really tough time and James had a tough time watching Jaimee and Noah as they came through a very very long difficult hard birth and there’s something about Noah. They said he’s got big feet. That little boy’s got big feet, doesn’t he, James? Doctor says he’s got the biggest feet he’s ever seen on a baby boy. But God says there’s a generation of the masculine nature of God that’s about ready to make footprints. He said there’s a generation that’s not just ready to believe in peace but ready to walk. There’s a generation that’s not just able to stand in peace but be able to walk forward and having pressed through a difficult birth, but his name is Noah, meaning rest. Aubrey is a warrior of grace - but she’s a warrior of grace, she’s a warrior of grace. There’s a different kind of warfare that God’s bringing forth in the church. It’s a peace that comes from the grace of God and Noah is rest because he represents a generation of men. He represents a generation of the masculine nature of God. A generation of men who are willing to press through and then live from rest. There’s a sign that’s going to be on him, a sign for the body of Christ, a sign for his home, a sign for his father, there’s a sign on him that says, I broke through and I came out in pain, but I have come to rest, and I will not live with the struggle to discover who I am. Having discovered who I am, I’ll live a life that speaks of faith by works that speak of faith. James the first book of the new testament that is a proverbs of the new testament, it’s show me your faith, I’ll show you mine by my works. There’s a generation that’s able to walk because they’ve pressed through and they live from rest. I’m still prophesying. The generation of these daddy’s, you guys represent a generation that hasn’t known how to pay a price. You guys know how to pay a price. You’ve laid hold of a thing that’s not common in your generation. You’ve laid hold of a thing that came from an ancient place. You laid hold of a thing that said we can pay the price in a generation that doesn’t want to pay a price. And because you’ve laid hold of that thing you’ve birthed offspring. Having laid hold of that thing they’ll bring forth a testimony of God that’s different than the testimonies of the past because they will not be a generation that wrestles to discover themselves. They’ll be a generation of victory because they know who they are and they’ll bring forth an anointing to walk and an anointing to stand. And it’ll be their nature. You look at Noah. He’s very much a boy, there’s no question about it. There’s nothing feminine about him. He’s masculine. You look at Aubrey, There’s no question about it. She’s a girl. There’s nothing masculine about her. Pastor Ted Get ready, Get ready, Get ready, Get ready. I’m restoring dreams. I’m restoring vision. The place of imagination does not come from obstination. It does not come from sitting back and determined by your dwelling place that’s in lack. Oh, No! It comes from a place that’s already acting and already moving in a forward way. And because you’re moving in a forward way, then you can imagine a new day. When many, many, many people don’t believe, therefore they don’t act and they think they imagine but they dream empty dreams. But God says I’m restoring the place of the heart. You’re going to begin to act upon the place where you come from and you’re going to begin to imagine. Imaginations are going to be restored. Anthony Chapman - 12/02/07 God is saying into houses like this something about the issue of predictability. That we as the expression of the body of Christ have become far too predictable to the marketplace that we’re trying to reach. And so we lack a sense of newness and freshness because we are predictable. Now we like the predictability because it makes us feel comfortable with what we have but its not helping our cause. So, I believe this is going to be another year where God is going to challenge you to assess the whole issue of predictability in the marketplace and to how we might better reach the people we are sent to reach with the gifts we have. Now, I need to tell you, God has no problem with who you are in this house. Now He may have some issues with how you present who you are. So the things I say to you this morning are not a question of who you are, but the main question of how you present who you are. Which is a good challenge, isn’t it. In fact, Jesus said some words when He was talking about the wine skin and the whole issue of the message of the new wine in new wine skins as an issue of flexibility. But at the same time He talks about no one puts a new cloth in an old garment, which is the one that gets less quoted, because we like the idea of wine in wine skins. But just to show you, Jesus talked about no one puts a new cloth in a new garment because if he does here’s what happens. He makes the tear even worse. So in trying to fix the problem you increase the problem because you should never try to patch an old garment because the movement of the two things you’re trying to bring together are totally different. The movement of the new thing is different than the movement of the old thing. So they don’t move well together, hence, the reason that the tearing increases because they are moving at different rates. So the only solution is, you have to have a new garment. It’s not an issue that you’ve got to find a way to patch the new garment with old cloth. That’s not the solution. The solution is you don’t look at what you’ve done and what you already know to repair the garment. What you do is you decide that the old garments going and the new garments coming. Now, the old garment is always having to do with external presentability. A garment is very much about what people see of us. The greater part of our body is covered by a garment. How we dress says a lot about who we are. And so I do believe in this issue of this current time that God is saying something to the house. Not about the wine skin because I think there’s flexibility to receive what God’s bringing on the inside and you have proved that you can absolve the pressure that comes from within and there’s been a lot of issues within. You’ve absolved the pressure, been flexible to move with that, but I believe God’s saying something about the outer garment. You have a garment that’s familiar, but you need to understand there are some tears in that garment. The reason there are tears in the garment is not that there is anything wrong with the garment. It is simply that the garment has worn out; it is a garment for another day. And clothes wear out. Garments wear out. It wasn’t about choice, it’s not that there is anything wrong with the garment, it simply wears out. You have to get a new one. I believe this house is in the season of moving into that arena of what Jesus said about don’t put a patch of new cloth on an old garment, but be ready to reassess the garment which is to do with our predictability, our appearance, how we look. I also felt something else with the number 14, it is significant. Now if you would like me to explain why that is significant If you would like me to explain the significance of 14 I haven’t a clue, absolutely no understanding what so ever, I don’t know what that was about. I just know that was in my spirit today. Sometimes those things are just a little marker point on the way that suddenly you spot those things and you think that’s it, God gave us that marker point on the road sign, so what all that means I have no idea. Corporate Prayer - 12/4/07 - Pastor Ted Father, You said You would reveal Yourself to men as a Man. We thank You that the Man, Christ, is in our midst. We thank You, God, for Your anointing that rests upon our head and runs down the beard unto the garment in this place. We thank You, God that You have prepared such a time as this to reveal such a testimony of You. And Lord, we pray that You would be a grace of You to become all things to all men that we might save the more. To become all things to all men, and Lord, that means that some things that we are that isn’t all things to all men, we’re going to have to change. So Lord, we ask for that grace right now, we ask for that grace, we ask for that grace, we ask for that grace right now, that grace in Jesus’ name. And Lord, we thank You that You have called us to be more than ourselves. You’ve called us to express You. You’ve called us to express You. You know, I’m hearing it very strongly in the Spirit, you know, in seeking the kingdom, its not seeking so much a knowing what to do of our lives - that’s self-absorbency - it’s seeking how to become all things to all men, that we might save the more. And I believe there is a grace in this hour that is going to come that is not a grace to become something for the sake of just becoming it, but to become something for the sake of bringing people to the place where Jesus touches them. So Lord, we thank You that there is a power right now that has come on Your Body to heal and to deliver, to cause lives to be transformed. We thank You Lord, that You did a great job at Awake and Arise recently and that those people are coming to faith and they are coming to full deliverance and victory in the testimony. Father, we thank You that You are here to heal bodies, that You are touching bodies even now, and You are touching minds. We lift up those among us that would be sick, that You would touch them. But Father, we call that it would be even more than those among us, but it would be those in our city. We call that the family, the tongues, the tribes, the peoples would be touched by Your presence and that You would grace us to become more than we could be. There is a term, a phrase that says, “I’ve got to be me”, but we really don’t know what being real or being me is because being you is perhaps something you’ve never thought of before. And being you is perhaps being something that you don’t think you can be for the sake of others. God does funny things. He takes people like Paul, a Jew of Jews and sends him to gentiles. He takes people like Peter, a stumbling Jew and better gentile and He sends him to religious Jews. So you don’t really know who you are, or to think of whom you are, so I really believe this is a season where God is going to increase our ability to believe and to become. I shared a testimony that God’s given me a door to talk to people because of my, I don’t think of myself as a doctorate but I’m finishing my doctorate degree but I don’t think of myself as a doctorate, I don’t think of myself as that, but I probably think of myself as a farmer, but needless to say, I’ve become something I didn’t think I could become, and it’s opened some effective doors and I believe this is a season where God is going to release that. I prophetically declare that in this coming year that God is going to open up doors not of opportunity but of destiny for the people in the Body of Christ. Not just in Abundant Life but in the people in the Body of Christ, and it’s not just for the sake of them becoming something that they’re not, but for revealing Christ who is in them for the sake of others. So Lord, we call for the increase of Your kingdom, we call for the expansion of Your government and Your peace. We pray that even in this holiday season, right here in this very room, that people will be touched by You that haven’t come to faith yet and will come to faith and will make that decision. Father, we pray that in the children’s ministry and the youth there will be many who will come to faith in this season and in this time that they will reach out and say, “Yes” to you. We pray for lives that we reach in our workplaces and in our neighborhoods, Father, that we pray this would be a time that lives would be touched and that we can become what they need to be touched by an expression of You and that the glory of God will come as them coming alive and understanding who you are. So Lord, we just speak it forth that this is a season of your favor coming not so much that we will know what to do, but that we will do what we know to do, which is to reach out with the arm of love, reach out with the touch and the hand of You and to cause lives to be transformed. Cause the ministry of the laying on of the hands of this body to be the ministry of Jesus Christ that causes lives to be transformed, causes light to come into dark places, causes lives to be revolutionarily turned around and falling in love with You. That that first love that we talk about would become a first love for the first time for many. In Jesus name we speak it forth and we thank you God that this is a season for the expansion of that and we just bless the Body in Jesus name. Bless you to have a week and weeks that are filled with: you wake up: ‘I don’t understand this, but I have such an expectancy! I just feel so full and ready, that I want to bring forth this new season! I just have such an expectancy! I just feel the joy of pregnancy. I feel the anticipation of the increase of family. I just bless you with that in Jesus name. I declare that grace, the manifestation of His presence in your house will multiply. And I speak that peace, the evidence of you in His house will multiply and I bless you in Jesus name. I put this in your spirit and your soul that the favor of God is on you. You are blessed; you are favored among men and among women. If you are a woman, you are favored among women, and if you are a man, you are favored among men, because the same miracle that came to Mary has come to you. And I speak just the favor of the Lord. Just deposit that in your spirit and in your soul. I declare to you that you do not live on your block, you do not live in your residence, you live in the kingdom of God, therefore, the place where you reside is being blessed by the place where you live. But you live in the kingdom of God; therefore the place where you reside is going to come alive. You live in the kingdom of God therefore the place that you inhabit is going to be filled with the abundant grace of the place where you live. So I speak that forth, I speak that to myself too. I feel very strongly. God, ambush us with this revelation. Ambush us with this impartation that we will wake up saying, “God I remember, I remember saying, “Yes” to You, and I woke up and a miracle happened. I couldn’t explain it but I loved You. ”You remember it? So God, I speak that same grace to this room tonight that as we wake up this week and as good moments and bad moments, it doesn’t matter, there’s going to be a peace that surpasses understanding, there’s going to be a revelation of grace, new expectancy that with it you’re going to be able to put weight in your footsteps, You’re going to be able to put the weight of your whole being into the place where your feet walk with confidence. I speak that into your spirit and your souls that the footsteps, you won’t have to apologize where your foot is going, but you’re going to put your whole weight into it. And your day is going to change because you’ve put your weight into your day. You’ve put your presence into your day and therefore your day is going to come alive because you don’t live in the place where your foot stands. You live in heaven therefore; the place where your foot stands is going to come alive. I speak that forth right now into your spirits and into your souls and I speak that into this city. Wherever discouragement has tried to come, I just declare right now, “You are encouraged because you are attached.” And I just declare right now there is going to come just the substance of glory that’s just going to follow you. There is an expectancy. You are pregnant in Jesus’ name and you are bringing forth to birth the things of the kingdom of God. I speak that to you right now in Jesus’ name. I don’t care what has happened in the past. I don’t care what the enemy has said to you. I’m declaring to your spirit and your soul and to mine, to us, right now I’m declaring that the kingdom of God is yours and you live in the kingdom of God and therefore the favor of everything that is heaven is coming into your earth in Jesus’ name. And whatever mountain you need to move is going to move. Whatever obstacle needs to get out of your way it’s going to get out of your way. Whatever breakthrough that needs to come on your behalf is going to come, whatever provision needs to become your supply is coming into your storehouses, right now in Jesus name. I speak that into your spirit and into your soul. God likes you, His favor is on you, you don’t have to earn it, He’s not angry, He’s pleased, you make Him laugh, He delights in you. You are His pleasure, you are the apple of His eye, and He says He wants you to put your weight into your footsteps because He trusts you, in Jesus name, amen. December 2007 - Bill Johnson One of the things He’s’ saying for this couple here is as much as you’re getting in shape in the natural there’s a spiritual dynamic to that. He says, “I’m getting you in shape spiritually because I’m about to promote you into a new grace upon your life for something new that’s going to impact this region. Not just in a spiritual way, in a Kingdom way from our perspective as we think apostolically and prophetically but He says, I’m going to expand it where it’s in a political way too. You’re going to start affecting local and regional politics. That doesn’t mean you’re going to run for office. Don’t put it in a box but know that your impact’s going to be affecting government, affecting decisions that are made in the government (and Lord knows you need that in Washington)... He says I’m going to open doors of favor and opportunity for you because you allowed me to re-calibrate you and that same shape that you’re getting into in the natural, you’ve also gotten in the spiritual. Now you’re going to see some things, suddenlies begin to happen for the two of you. The fathering anointing is going to take on a reproducing and you’re going to reproduce reproducers, reproduce reproducers just like you had a natural grandchild. Many spiritual grandchildren are going to come and grow and join with you. By the way, that natural is one of many. I mean that’s the first. That’s the forerunner of several to come, you know, and in the right timing of God, but it’s the parallel of the natural and the spiritual. You’ve seen some of that and this calibration that the Lord’s doing for the two of you is to put you in a place that actually, not just that you become an apostolic resource center, because you’ve been doing that, but we as a family become an apostolic resource center. That’s the next thing. You’re seeing it with the daycare, there’s a joining together that’s a sign of the influence that God’s going to have you have in the natural infiltrating government and meeting people of influence that way and influencing them spiritually for the advancement of the Kingdom. So it’s an exciting time. You’re expanding your tent stakes. Then He’s got several surprises for the two of you in this season. They’re totally surprises led by Me to show you of my favor being upon your life and fulfilling the prophetic destiny that you are even in your name “Abundant Life”. It’s time for abundance at Abundant Life. Somebody shout Amen! And you start decreeing that your house is paid for. The Lord’s going to do something to show you that your house is paid for. I don’t know what’s up with your house, I don’t know in the natural what’s up, but I hear the Lord saying the house is paid for two ways. It’s personal for your home and it’s this house. And He said start declaring things that aren’t as though they are, because God’s going to give you some favor and you’re going to see this house, the people of this house come through a debt retirement program. Amen. And you’re going to retire some debt. (Bill tells story of 10 have paid off houses), But he looks to be a blessing all the time. He’s looking to give not to get. That same anointing is going to come over this house and there are some new things and new strategies. God’s going to change your travel slightly and there’s some new strategies and blessings for you have sown that you’re going to reap, that you’re going to reap. That Deut. 6 that I shared last night, that’s you guys. You’re going to reap in fields you didn’t even sow into. God’s going to show you some things and some Divine relationships are going to come, It’s going to start with abundance, It’s going to start with the head and flow to the body, amen. Now I’m not saying for you guys [the body] to bless them, this is for them. There’s no strings attached, there’s no hidden motives, its what the word of the Lord is for them, but guess what happens? If you get in alignment with this, head down, you know why? Cuz you’re faithful sons and you honor father and mother, and that thing comes from the head down. Look at your neighbor and say, my house is paid for! I saw that the Lord put a new key in your hand in worship today; it was like one of those big keys a huge key that He put within your hand. And the Lord said it’s the key to the bank of supernatural abundance and provision. It was in your hand and you were opening the vault and there was gold and silver and there were finances in there. An abundance of finances. In the Spirit, God’s given him that key to open that up so that we can bring that treasure from the heavens into the earth. Amen. That’s over this house right now. There’s more favor over you guys, seize the moment. I’ve never felt that strong, but it’s important that you don’t stand in the doorway. You block the blessing. You can stand in the gate and keep the enemy out. But when God opens the door to heaven for you the effectual door according to 1 Corinthians 16 don’t stand in the doorway, you block the blessing. Let it flow. Amen Let if flow over you. Don’t wait on them. This word’s for you, [the body] You’re the Antioch; You’re the Antioch resource, an apostolic resource center, to raise up disciples and servants, and sons and daughters. So you gotta grab on to that so when things like these events come up everyone of you should be there, because the way an Antioch church works is that everyone is doing the work of the ministry. You’re an apostolic resource center. There are 10 things that happen in Antioch and you can read about them in Acts 11 through Acts 13. Now the last thing I see for the two of you, there’s an apostolic thing, and there’s a harvest of souls that’s about to come into Abundant Life. So what you’ve been praying for, to bring the lost in, is about to happen. And you’re a forerunner [Jonathan] You’re a forerunner for your generation. You’re forerunner church guys. You don’t understand the opportunity that’s set before you today. Abundant Life is about to experience something like you’ve never experience before and the mercy and the grace of God to accomplish your purpose. This one of the most key years in your life as a body to shift into alignment, to position yourselves before Him, as a family of believers to accomplish His purpose in the Kingdom, it’s a key, key year. Very important! Very strategic! We’re not limited by our own thinking any longer, we’re thinking like Him. When these guys like Bob and John come in, God is trusting you to receive the gift that He sends from them so we all will increase and have the impact in the community that He calls us to have. It’s the Father opening up grace to say, yeah, I got this available to whosoever. Don’t be the one that’s AWOL. [see ppt. notes] God is taking that crookedness and making it straight. One of the things I felt the Lord say for the two of you, is that your going to take a leap of faith into something new. Something that you may have been pondering. Sir, I don’t think you’ve really meditated on it, maybe its a thought, something that has just flowed through your spirit at one point, and you thought, okay Lord, I’ll entertain that, and you haven’t been meditating on it but you’re going to leap into it this year. Your going to take a leap together as a couple, {something new x’s 2} and its for the region, its for the city, its for the region, its for the state, its for the nations. And the two of you are going to leap. Abundant Life is experiencing a leap year. I felt it so strong, we need to shake off ‘07 and get ready for new beginnings of ‘08 and leap into it. But it’s a leap of faith for you guys, I just felt it so strong, it’s a leap of faith into something new. What God said is really real, the way that you posture and position yourself corporately is going to determine your Kingdom impact. This year especially, it’s a key year. You’re still assigned to the North gate, Ted. I feel the Lord is still saying you’re a keeper of the gate, of the city, don’t lay that down. Please don’t lay that down! Don’t get distracted with these other things, because these other things purpose is to keep you on the point of being the keeper of the gate. You’re a resource of the city, with the Nehemiah anointing to see the walls of the city restored so that Gods people can be protected united and connected.
