Pastor Ted J. Hanson

I hear the Lord saying, “You have been looking to finish things. You’ve been looking for the day of completion. You’ve been looking for the moment when it would finally be.” The Lord says, “In this season you’re going to step forward into things that you have not thought about stepping forward into before. As you step forward the provision is going to be there as the vision expands. The very thing that opens the door for that which is new is going to conclude that which is old.” The Lord says, “There’s a whole new shift in the focus in your heart, in your mind, in your life in this year. It’s going to cause there to be a stepping forward, laying hold of what you didn’t even think of. It’s not even what you didn’t think to lay hold of, it’s what you didn’t even think of to lay hold of. It’s not something that you didn’t think was within your grasp, it’s something that you have not thought of yet.”

The Lord says He’s going to quicken your heart, quicken your mind, quicken your life to commit yourself in a forward direction to those things. You’re going to discover as you step into that there’s going to be a full provision and an even more full provision than you’ve ever experienced before for that vision that comes about in your stepping forward. Then you’re going to discover that the thing which you had hoped to be concluded is going to be finished at the opening of the door of that which is new.

God says, “It’s going to be a testimony to the scribe instructed concerning the things of the kingdom. You will be like the heads of houses. You will be like those in places of responsibility and you will draw from your treasure things new and old. There will be a great testimony that comes into the now, in this season, that is focused in a forward direction but completes that which has seemingly held you back. It’s not just a breaking through – a breaking away from what held you back, it’s a breaking into what you never thought of before that actually breaks you out of what held you back. It’s a season – a season of reaping overtaking sowing and sowing overtaking reaping; a season of great fruitfulness, a season of great supply, a season of increasing vision and a season of abundant provision for that vision. But the increasing vision is something that comes beyond what has been in your mind, in your heart, in your life before. It’s that which comes as you step forward in this season to lay hold of that which is breaking forth into new things to conclude that which was an old thing.”

 A couple weeks ago I saw a picture of dominoes. They were lined up in patterns. I heard the Lord say, “I am the God of set ups. I am the Father of equations – I created it all. I have the formulas. Even though you’ve gone through hardships and pain and sorrows, I am turning all things for good.”

Corporate prayer 2-3-09
Pastor Ted

You have declared that even in a time of economic hardship that You would break out in a time of great blessing for this house. We receive Your prophetic word as a word of life. Thank You that this is a season for the church to arise and shine – for Your glory to come forth. Thank You that You’re putting within our hands to take mountains and to cause Your kingdom to expand. Thank You that Your word even came tonite to stretch out the tent pegs, and that where we were barren we will now have many children – more than what was even thought before. Thank You, God, that Your hand is here in this hour and Your grace is here with a great power to bring forth the glory to Your name…

In 2008 I asked God what was coming in 2009 and He said that February was going to be “business breakthrough”… February is business breakthrough and things that looked impossible will be easy. 

Bonnie Kaemingk

I had a dream two nights ago: I was in a store and I was trying to buy something off the shelves and someone kept taking things off the shelves and putting different things on. I would ask, “Where did that go?” He would answer, “Well, it’s gone. I can’t get it for you now.” When I asked why he said he couldn’t explain it there, I should come in the back room with him. When I went in the back, it was like the place where this stock person lived. So we were talking and my brothers were with me and we finished talking and we were getting ready to leave and I saw that his hands were chained and he was a prisoner in this room. When I asked him why he was chained he said, “I’m a slave to the economy. It owns me.” Then I woke up.

Pastor Ted

A declaration re: the daycare building next door: the building is our building. It has been our building since we moved in here. We call that the mountain will move. Everything will move that is necessary for this thing to come about without any burdens – without any bondage – without any strings attached that bind in any way. We call that it will be a freedom and a liberty – not anything that will deplete in any way, but that which will stretch out some tent pegs.

We call that there’s a new pattern – patterns of the past are broken, patterns where we’ve had to fight to get the blessing to come – that pattern is being broken through to the place that the reaper overtakes the sower and the sower overtakes the reaper. Things will come before their time – they come before we expect them. The provision comes in for those expectations and those things that go beyond our expectations. Even as the word has come in the past couple of years that things would happen before there time, that things that we weren’t expecting to happen would happen unexpectedly…thank You that in heaven time is not bound to this time, but this time is submitted to that place of eternity…we proclaim that building transformed to match these buildings. We proclaim that building to come into the purposes of what You’ve declared here. We declare that what was committed a long time ago – property that used to be one piece – would be one piece again, not for that which would be for ungodly or human resources but for the kingdom. We declare that what was once in the hands of masons is now in the hands of kings and queens.

Ben Ramsdale

In a dream…even though I knew I didn’t have the money for it, and it was a really bad idea, I bought this really, really expensive, really nice car. I kept thinking, “I don’t have the money to buy this and the insurance on this kind of car at my age is going to be ridiculous.” The miles per gallon are ridiculous. All this was going on in my dream but I was just really excited about it…it’s not about being worried about where the finances are, sometimes these kind of things are just something to get excited about.

Kim Byrd

While we were praying I couldn’t leave (the children’s ministry corner) but I had to just keep walking around the table. If I’d try to leave God would stop me and say, “No, go back.” He said that I was walking around the walls of Jericho and that the walls were going to fall down around children’s ministry – that people would come in – but that children would just explode those walls down like water.

That is also the lost and found corner – our children and children in the community are going to be found – those that are lost, families that are lost in this area, around this church and this neighborhood – are going to be found.

It’s time to step out in faith and be more trusting in faith.

Will Price

I see a big Texas Hold’em game and God’s the dealer. You get two ‘hold cards’ in Texas Hold’em. You might just have the jack and the ten in your hand, but there are five community cards out there. The first card that comes up might be a three. The Lord says, “Don’t hold back.” The second card that comes up might just be a two. The Lord says, “Don’t hold back.” The Lord’s the dealer and He says, “I only deal to My church a royal flush. You don’t know what the other two hold cards around the table might be. But I didn’t call you to bluff because it’s never a gamble with Me. I’m always going to deal you a royal flush. So what I want you to do is go ‘all in’. Don’t hold back, go all in, because it’s not a gamble, it’s not a chance, it’s not a game of chance, because I’m dealing you a royal flush.”

Terri Hesselgesser

…And a royal flush beats anything in the house!

Cindy Shirkey

It is the overflowing measure – the blessings are there. The word spoken about walking through the gate, you don’t even know what to expect. Walk through the gate because you can’t expect what I’m going to do... He is who He is and He is doing what He’s doing and we’re coming into agreement with Him…

He spoke the word “Beloved”…and He was saying the words “Be loved.” I believe He’s calling that forth…as we’re being loved and we’re loving others in this community, He will be outpouring and outreach and outflowing. This is a season for miracles – believe that God has said He will do these things.

Janice Palmby

Re: the verse in Jeremiah about Him giving us a future and a hope…for “an expected end”…it means a cord and depends on to what we are attached. Tonite over and over I’ve heard “we expect”, “we’re expecting”, “who we’re attached to is You.” It even means a twisting together, so where we’ve attached other places perhaps, we can decide, “I will attach this cord, this hope, this heart, this future, to You.” This place is attached to You, and we’re twisted together with You, Lord.  

2/21/2009 - Roger Coleman

Be fruitful, multiply, subdue, and take dominion. The word for the year is Fruitfulness! Let Him tend the vine, and watch by years end the fruitfulness. The enemy is trying to overwhelm, praise, and worship is your warfare. There is a release of the expansion of the Fathers heart in the house this year, the fruitfulness of confidence will be a new depth of intimacy, and a richness of maturity that will attract others. There will also be a fresh prophetic release even now, and growing till the reaping overtakes the sowing. The going out will be overtaken by the attracting, and the house will begin to fill. Breakforth, oh you fountains! Let His praise be heard, and His goodness be known throughout all creation! Amen!

“Now is the time to strengthen yourself in Me”. God says, “I’m putting out a fresh call – a fresh call of intimacy – a fresh call for passion, a fresh call for life. You’re going to find in this season called now there’s going to be a new fire burning.” The Lord says, “The fire that has come in this season is not just a fire that consumes things, but it’s a fire that causes things that cannot be consumed to burn – it causes your very hearts to come alive in a new way. For,” God says, “in this season there are going to be multiple new beginnings – multiple new beginnings that will be like a fresh start in an old day. That which even seemed to be a weary place is going to be lifted by the strength of My spirit. It will be lifted by the strength of My spirit not as something that comes to you, but as something that rises up in you. You’re going to find that there’s going to be a shifting and a turning and a new focus and a clarity that comes within you – a clarity for the purpose, a clarity for the promise, a clarity for the presence, a clarity for the passion of Me. In that place there’s going to come a new fire that’s going to be contagious – even outrageous,” says the Lord. “For there’s going to come a direction that comes by the burning light that comes within you as there is a new anointing that is a strength of corporate unity, and corporate purpose and focus.” The Lord says, “Many will come, for the momentum will increase – the momentum will go forth. In the world when they’re concerned with things shifting and turning and burning away,” the Lord says, “in My house there’s going to be a burning in every way – and it’s going to cause there to be a new focus for clarity,” says the Lord.

Tabitha Hesselgesser

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been feeling that there’s been a change in the wind - that a fresh wind is blowing. I’ve seen it as a ship sailing. Those sails are being filled anew and there’s just a slight course correction. It’s not a drastic changing, just a slight one…I have felt sort of an ebb in the prophetic…God is speaking… it’s just not being spoken out. I feel like it’s a tide that’s being drawing back, but it’s about to come forth in a new way. I feel like it’s going to be an incredible sweeping that’s going to pour out on everyone.

Emilyanne

What the Lord was making stand out to me today was the evergreen trees around here that don’t lose their leaves and so don’t have to spring new leaves in the Spring. What’s going on is that every branch, every little strip of branch, every tree has this new growth on the end of everything. What the Lord was showing me was…it’s not that He needs to do something completely different – it’s that He’s adding on to what’s already in us, what’s already going on, what’s already growing in His kingdom. He’s just adding fresh and new things to it.

Pastor Ted

Re: the evergreen tree in the front yard that had died this year but is recovering…God says, “It’s a sign. In this season you’re going to remember who you are. My people are going to remember that they’re evergreen trees – that they are ever connected to Me. Though there’ve been times when the battles been hard and you’ve felt like you’ve been dead, and you’ve felt like you couldn’t carry on.” The Lord says, “This is a season where I’m going to remind you – I’m going to remind My people of who they are. I’m going to remind them that they are steadfast and flourishing in every season – that they are the evergreens. What has appeared to be dead from within is going to come a new surge and resurgence that declares the identity of who you are in the Lord,” says God. “That which you are is eternal. That which you are is that evergreen freshness and there’s a new season of that in this time.” 

Gail Hildebrand

And I saw a tsunami wave as the new awakening coming on the church – not just only the church but on the people of our city and cities around the globe. God is awakening them from their sleep …God is going to awaken their spiritualness. Spiritual eyes are going to be opened and the Holy Spirit is going to stir so much in them that they can’t contain themselves – they’ve got to be doing something more. I saw the Holy Spirit and the Lord coming on us like a tsunami – a wave that builds. The tide is out but the wave is coming in and in and there’s the huge tsunami that hits...I see miraculous signs, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and miracles in all sorts of ways – not just spiritual but physical and emotional. I sense that the Lord wants to unleash this upon anyone who will believe. It’s for us to be used as instruments, in whatever environment we are in, to show love – in capital letters L-O-V-E.

Zee Ellyson

What I’ve been feeling is that it’s going to be a time when all of the processes that go to raising a harvest are going on continuously and simultaneously. There’s going to be plowing, and there’s going to be planting, and there’s going to be harvesting. Even as those three stages are combined together, those three groups of people are going to be combined and embrace in a greater way…I have been feeling like I am on the precipice of destiny…jumping out and free-falling into the destiny that God…is bringing a new unity and cohesiveness in the body of Christ. There’s going to be a greater reaching out for one another…to feel the cooperation and the excitement of what’s going on in the Lord…He said, “Resistance is futile.” Change is coming. We can resist if we want but our hearts are so much to serve God – so the more we resist the harder we make it on ourselves because ultimately we want to obey the Lord and we want to do what He wants us to do – so, resistance is futile.

Tabitha Hesselgesser

Right now is the culmination of many things. There have been so many things all over the body of Christ that have been for so long planned and dreamed, and trained for and prayed for and hoped for. Like Zee was saying, I feel like we are on the very verge of stepping into those things…We’re going to find that these things are here and easy and ready. As we step into a new level of authority, we’re going to find that we have been well trained and that we are well prepared. There’s going to be a joy and an ease because we are doing what we already are.

Gail Hildebrand

A picture for that is this: we’re standing at the edge of a pool of water and we’re dipping our toe in to see if we want to jump in or not. The Lord is saying, “Don’t worry about the temperature of the arena that you’re going into. Jump in! I’ll do the rest.”

Yvonne Cornmesser

“There’s a plowing of the land, a tilling of the land. There’s a plowing of the sea. There’s a plowing of the air. There’s a plowing of the mind and a plowing of the heart. Stretch yourselves and look beyond the framework that you have always looked at before. You have looked for the fruit of the land. Now begin to look for the fruit of the sea. Begin to look for the fruit of the air. I am not just planting seeds that belong in the soil that you’re so used to finding and producing them, I am planting my Kingdom seeds. I have sent My heavenly ones to work with you and to plant.”

Peggy Stewart

…whatever God plants in your heart, whatever He has tilled up and planted, don’t just see it as a planted seed. See it as a full harvest ready to be taken up.

Pastor Ted

I saw a picture of a scroll and I asked God what it is. He said, “These are My plans.” Then I saw Him roll them open – it was massive, but it was very clear and there were many details. I hear the Lord saying that this is going to be a season where He’s going to reveal His plans to you. He’s going to show it with clarity. You’re going to discover that His plans for you include His plans for others. There’s going to be a stronger connection than ever before and a working together for the things that are seen corporately together. Those plans aren’t going to be just amiss or by chance, but there’s going to be an ability to see what we couldn’t see before – how it connects and how it flows and how it works. It’s going to be a very clear strategy. Some of it is going to be room by room, place by place, grace by grace. But there is going to be a clarity for each part. When one part is finished, the plans are so immense, it’s going to be obvious that there’s more yet to go.

There’s going to be a new zeal for the house of God – a new zeal for the corporate plans of God. God says that He delights in that. But it’s not a corporate plan to be a place that houses us, but it’s an expanding house that goes beyond that. As it was prophesied already, the plowing of more than just the land, the plans of God are going to include things that even transform “community”, transform the generation and generations, transform habitations not just habitation. There’s going to come a new grace for labor that is not a toiling.

Gail Hildebrand

There is a going forth of the young people that are going to be so set in the Lord that they will just explode over into their generation and into their areas of school and their workplaces…

Pastor Ted

I hear the Lord saying that He wants us to understand a fuller dynamic of harvest. So often we focus and see harvest as a time at the end of the year. But the Lord says His harvest season is a full season. In the full seven months there’s a perfect harvest. It’s not harvest that comes at the end, but there’s harvest that continually comes – of many kinds. This is going to be a season where there’s going to be a greater clarity to the diversity of harvest. One of the things that’s coming in a harvest – that the Lord says is even coming ripe right now – is confidence. The Lord says, “That confidence is coming into the young. That confidence is coming into the old. That confidence is going to cause you to step forward and to put the full weight of who you are into the place of your standing like never before. You’re going to discover that confidence is a harvest. When you possess and take and lay hold of that harvest in the season of confidence, that harvest prepares you and causes there to be a breaking forth of further types of harvest that come in the harvest season.” The Lord says, “It’s upon you. It’s now and it’s come to be in every place. For from the stretching of the seed, the stretching of the stalk, the stretching of the plant – that desire to rise up and come forward – I’ve put you in the place where now it is necessary to lay hold of the harvest of confidence, take it and eat it. Take it and sow it again. Take it and receive it for this is a season of harvesting confidence.

Ruth Bergman

The time is here for expounding, abounding and astounding. The Lord says, “You’ve expounded on what you had, and what I gave you, and what you’ve been walking through. Now it’s abounding into more – it’s developing more.” It will astound you how much God is going to put into your heart, into your life, that you never dreamed existed. “There are new things coming. It’s like a new sunrise with new colors in it. You’re going to see something different – it’s going to be different – it’s going to be beautiful. You’re going to walk in the beauty, and the strength, and the power that I’ve given you. You will expound on everything that I’ve given you. You’re going to take it forth to the other generations and you will give them hope – a hope they haven’t had before, a knowledge they haven’t heard before – and they will be astounded by My word and My works. And it will be through you, my people.” 

Tabitha Hesselgesser

This is also a time for finding lost things (in the body of Christ) – things that have been long lost, all hope has been given up because it’s gone. People are going to be walking along and we’re going to find something that doesn’t look very shiny or valuable. We’re going to hand it to someone and it’s going to be their thing that they’ve lost and it’s now been found. God is going to be restoring dreams, and hopes, and visions. He’s going to be restoring inheritance. He’s going to be restoring children. He’s going to be restoring mothers, and fathers, and grandparents. Lost things are going to be restored to all of us and we are going to be restorers of lost things. A lot of times we won’t even know what we’re doing – we’ll just drop a word here or there and it’s going to be just it for someone else.

Gail Hildebrand

When we were praying for the group going to Arizona (Awake & Arise) I kept hearing drums – warring drums. It’s a calling out from the heavens. It’s a warring going on in hearts and spirits in the spirit realm... I sense a real battle cry.

Jim Zornes

I’ve been hearing thunder and the word thunder. It’s a convergence of weather patterns that cause a thunderstorm to happen. But the thunderstorm is not happening in the natural, it’s happening in the supernatural realm. “The kingdom is expanding – are you watching? The kingdom is increasing – are you watching? There’s a storm brewing and thunder coming. But the thunder that you hear is not from a power source, but from a place of authority. I’m causing there to be a shift in the weather and a shift in the heavenlies. The intercession has come up and the tears have come up – there’s been a mist that’s come to My kingdom, and come up to the heavens, and it is creating a convergence.  I’m causing the heavens to be clouded, and I’m causing the convergence of heaven to expand – to create the thunder of heaven.” As the thunder comes from the kingdom of God and comes from the heavens it will not be received in power – it will be received in authority. “I’m changing the authority inside the church, I’m changing the guards. I’m changing the temperature. I’m changing the patterns and the values, the character, the natures. I’m changing. I’m changing. I’m changing. I’m changing. The thunderstorm that was once a display of power will become a display of anointing. It will become a display of authority. People have come to a place to understand – and be established – to be who they are. As you allow that place to be who you are, heaven is causing a thunderstorm to release authority and to release something that has not been released yet.”

Rhonda LaBrie

I hear the Lord ask us, “Are you ready to change things up? Are you ready to mix things up? Are you ready to run a new route? Are you ready to take a new path? Are you willing to climb the hills that you’ve never climbed before?” I hear God saying that in this season He’s going to break us out of some old ways of doing things. He’s going to break us out of some traditional things – things that we’ve always done before. It’s going to challenge us. We’re going to be stirred and motivated in our hearts to go to new places. I hear the Lord saying He’s bringing a wave of freshness to His body – His people – that’s going to cause you to have creative ideas and creative ways of thinking. It’s a season of joy and a season of intimacy that’s coming.  I see a picture of the ocean and I hear the Lord saying it’s a fresh ocean breeze that’s going to blow through. And I hear the Lord saying, “Are you ready to change things up? Are you ready to go beyond where you’ve gone before? Are you ready to go to new places and new heights in Me?”

Yvonne Cornmesser

He says, “It’s a time of standing and a time of moving your feet. It’s a time of moving forward in the path and walking up the steps. It’s a time to go beyond where you have gone before. I am sending My angels – I am sending My sent ones – to help you along the way and to give you vision like you have never had before that you would see My ways in a new way.

“The eagle is before you and in his talon is the snake – he has already captured it. Set fear aside.

“With the vortex comes a wind. It’s a strong wind and a planting wind. In the past you’ve had to plant the seeds yourself. I will now send a wind and I will plant the seeds Myself. You must be prepared to bring in the harvest because it is a seed that grows rapidly. I will water My seed and bring the oil that it needs, but you must be ready to harvest the seed. So stand and go forth.”

Pastor Ted

The Lord is saying, “Don’t be moved by the winds that are contrary to Me. You are My children, therefore, you are not contrary to Me – for I am not contrary to you. So in a time when many are moved by winds that are contrary and seem against them, it’s time to stand and understand that I am the one who causes the sails of your being to billow in a direction that I want you to go. I’m going to stretch you out, not in a way that causes you to feel stretched thin, but in a way that you feel, ‘I was born for this. I was born for this love. I was born for this vision. I was born for this focus.’ “

The Lord says, “I am bringing you beyond the horizons of the past. I am causing you to come into that which is purpose-filled. Even though there was a time in My Body when I stirred that purpose sound and caused there to be a purpose-driven focus,” the Lord says, “now there will be a purpose-filled focus.  My people will not be driven, My people will be filled to destiny.

“As I’ve said this is a season of sending ones and I’ve released even from this place the open gate of heaven that causes the angels to ascend and to bring into the dimensions of where your are the realities and the truths, the substance and the supplies of where I am – so I will equip you and cause you to be the fabric of the sails that I have said for you to be. Just as I made you ministers, I have also made you messengers and I will billow your sails to carry the wind that is a message of hope and a message of life. It is not like the message of hope that responds to contrary winds. It is a message of hope that responds to purpose-filled sails. In this season you’re going to discover a greater strength of purpose in your own hearts. It’s going to be attractive to those who are hungering and desiring. They will be purpose-filled, but they won’t be purpose-driven.”

Tracy LaBrie

 “Even in that purpose you’re going to start to understand the Kingdom even greater. You’re going to begin to reach those in small groups. You’re going to reach small areas and at the same time you’re going even to reach smaller countries. You’re going to reach small nations. It’s a time to think large but in your thinking large, think Kingdom. Don’t look naturally – don’t look at what’s going on around your own nation – begin to look what’s going on around other nations. Where there are small groups of people that are moving. There are small bands of people that are moving, that I have set up, with whom I’m going to connect you. You’re going to move out and you’re going to connect with them. It’s going to become a large band. It’s going to become an army.  My Kingdom thinking is what I need you to re-focus on – not just in the natural but in My Kingdom-natural. It’s a natural thing to do this. It’s a natural way to think. I’m going to release that now. I release that to the Body. I release that to this region. I’m releasing that to this country; to think Kingdom; to see Kingdom; to see the things that I am releasing naturally, that are in My natural sight – not your natural sight, but My natural sight.

What I see naturally is small, but it is large. It starts off as a small seed but it grows quickly – very quickly. There are small bands of people that I’m going to connect you to – even in this year, but in the next three years – as you see things with your natural eyes in your country what you will say is decreasing – you will see in the fourth year that I am going to turn this around and it’s going to be My Kingdom. You’re going to see My Kingdom explode. You’re going to see My Kingdom expand – not just in this country but in countries around you. You’re going to see smaller countries that are going to invade and it’s going to expand into the larger countries. It’s going to be on continents and expanding into the continents. It’s going to start with small bands. Get ready. 

Zee Ellyson

I heard God speak to me that there are going to be some critical changes in leadership around the world. In order for God to expand what He’s going to do in the Kingdom of God, He’s going to do some expanding and changing in our natural world. In these small countries and in these small areas there’s going to be what the world would see as revolution, but God would call it something else. There’s going to be a changing of leaderships in places that have seemed stable but have been corrupt. God says that He’s changing these things in order to expand His kingdom. Don’t be perplexed or bewildered – just know that the hand of God is moving. It’s for the furtherance of His kingdom. It’s for the furtherance of His will on this earth even as it is in heaven.

Pastor Ted

I hear the Lord saying, “At a time when a grass-roots revolution is rising up, don’t be focused on the bitter roots or bitter grass.” The Lord says, “At a time when men are stirred by the things they think they are stirred by I am going to raise a generational sound like never before. Yes, there will be a grass-roots revolution, but it won’t be perceived as it is perceived by the eye, it will be perceived as it is perceived by Me. For,” the Lord says, “I am causing there to be a deeper thing than there has ever been before that’s going to happen in this land.” The Lord says, “There is going to come that which heals the very bitter place. Did I not say that the issues of legalism and promiscuity would be dealt with? Even as I have declared their headship authority destroyed so I declare their foundation and place of standing is going to be uprooted. There’s going to be healing coming into the generations. Even now as things are shaking there’s a stirring and a responding to the very thing that I decreed would happen. I declared that there would be a grass-roots revolution. But the revolution goes deeper. It goes deeper. It goes to the place where grass roots become tree roots and tree roots produce generations that bring fruit and healing.” The Lord says, “This is the season that you are in. It’s a foundational time – but it’s also a springing forth time that’s going to lead into the generations. It’s going to make history in the fact that it’s going to make My-story. And My story is going to be the true history that’s going to be read. So,” the Lord says, “this is the time to strengthen yourselves. This is the time to go deep in Me. Don’t be moved by the things that seem to be the surface roots, but be moved by the things that are deep and generationally focused and filled with expectancy.”

I see an underground movement in a concentrated area. As one would plow a field in long rows – but instead of going long it’s going deep. The plowing seems to be in a small space and a small area but in truth it’s going deep, deep into the ground. I see the surrounding land being very dry, very brittle, very hard and very cracked. And the plowing is actually coming from underneath and coming up. I feel that it’s reaching old roots and restoring old places that once held a place of glory but have died and been forgotten – but they’re now being resurrected. Regarding the “bands” that Tracy saw: I saw groups of people beginning to band together, beginning to form links into a chain. The reach that they could have together was much greater than the reach they could have by themselves. The chain was lowered down into this deep, deep well where there was much forgotten treasure. It felt like it was a place where there was a lot of turmoil happening, a lot of upset, but that there was treasure there that could be reached because of the banding together.

Jim Zornes

I think it’s in this season that we’re in that God is causing His glory to come on people of this church. This revelation of this grass-roots ground that’s breaking where everything is coming out, from glory to glory, we’re beginning to see the glory of God that we’ve called down. It’s coming down, but it’s residing in us – we’re carriers of His glory – that we might see people with the eyes through which He truly wants us to see humanity. When we grasp that and get the eyes through which Jesus wants us to see, our outlook and our outcry and our hearts’ desires are something totally different, because truly we will have the eyes of Christ. In this season I believe God is opening our eyes to truly have the eyes of Christ so that we actually see what He sees. Our intercession and our labor and the things that we go about doing are going to take on a new revelation and a new focus where it’s not about individuals, but it’s about the life that’s in them.

Tracy LaBrie

The Lord says, “There are parts of Me that you’ve aborted. I’m going to bring you back to those things. I’m going to bring you back to that seed. That seed is not dead, it still lives. Even in the realm of healing – things have been aborted and they’ve turned into a sacred cow. I’m going to kill that cow because I don’t desire sacrifice. I’m also releasing that cow because I’m going to bring My true seed – My true life and healing – into this land. I’m going to show you – beginning this year – My true seed of healing coming into this land. It’s not just a healing of the signs and wonders but it goes way beyond, way beyond, way beyond. Begin to ask Me for eyes to see what true healing is. Begin to ask Me to see where I desire to put My true healing. There’s a healing that’s been aborted that I’m coming back for. I’m releasing the seed that doesn’t just heal the heart. It doesn’t just heal the body. It doesn’t just heal the mind. It heals humanity. It heals humanity. I’m going to expand your thinking so that when you go to heal you’re not just laying hands on an individual, you’re laying hands on humanity. You’re laying hands on My creation because you’re going to be going beyond what even new-agers have taken and demented and distorted and taken off into the side rails. You’re going to see what My nature is and what humanity is and how humanity has come into a new realm of healing this year. You’re going to see a realm that has never been exposed before. It’s not going to be a sacred cow as before, there’s going to be a new realm of it where you’re going to see the healing of humanity – in great realms, in great realms, in great realms.”

Jim Zornes

“Do not be alarmed – do not be shocked – when you see great ministries come to a place where they come to a head. I’m causing a stirring and judgment to come once again where men of God will be accountable for the things that they do from the pulpit and from places of the five-fold ministry. I’m releasing a grace where I’m breaking down things that need to be broken down. I’m breaking them down from a place of restoration to restore these people.  I am not taking them down, I am raising them up. I am causing there to be a changing of the guard and a changing of hearts. Do not be alarmed and shocked when you see things in the news…do not be alarmed because I am restoring them. I am restoring them, I am restoring them. They have hearts after Me and hearts for Me, but I am changing some things that have to be changed.”

Will Price

“I’m calling to you, My Bride. I’m asking you to shed those old garments you wore when we were engaged. I’m saying it’s time for Me to come into the chamber – it’s time for Me to come in and know you. This is a very intimate thing because as you surrender, you will have to let go of things that you have held dear – thoughts, patterns, traditions, even some teachings – things that you know and have come to take comfort in, I’m going to ask you to surrender because I am come. The things that you surrender to Me will be replaced with a greater knowing, a greater knowledge and a greater intimacy with Me than you’ve ever known. I will cause you to see things in a new light because you won’t see things through the veil that’s been part of that old garment that you’ve concealed your face with. You’re fully exposed to Me. You’ve shed the old garment and we’re together in the bridal chamber. I’m going to teach you what real love is, what true love is, and what this covenant is that I made with you. Even in the midst of a revolution I’m asking you to surrender. I’m asking you to lay down those things that you’ve held up against the world, and trust Me. I’m asking you to lay down those things that you’ve even hidden behind, and begin to trust Me.”

Zee Ellyson

The Lord would also say, “You’ll no longer look at Me through stained glass windows – or through the impressions of others. You will come to the place where you will see these things – a place of deep intimacy.”

Peggy Stewart

From a year ago (8/24/08)… “I revisited the well of twelve chambers seen last year. The first thing I began to see was a large sword which was very bright. The sword had a thin ribbon of fire swirling and circling around the blade. I wanted to reach out and touch it but my hands were heavy. The sword began to enter the well of 12 chambers – reminder that this well is so deep that you can see the stars from the bottom on a sunny day. The well is made of intricately laid stones and the 12 chambers are at the very bottom. When first encountered, the well had two gates released and from two chambers came oils which were buoyant and rose to the top of the well – the earth drank the oil more deeply than it would have drunk water.

When the sword began to enter the well it was filled with water and a warm, hot (but not hot) steam began to rise, as the fire around the sword continued to burn. The steam began to move onto the earth and permeate the land making it soft and pliable. A most pleasant fragrance was in the steam. I can’t describe how important the steam is, but without it, the next part could not happen.

I’m now in a position in the well where I can see that the sword of fire is actually Jesus – the handle, His head; the hilt, His arms open; the blade, His body – exquisitely stunning. The blade encircled with fire continues to penetrate the water to the bottom where the 12 chambers are and the fire is never extinguished. When the blade hits the bottom of the well, a flame from the fire begins to generate itself and travel up. Then two gates are released and from the gates through the chambers comes fire which travels up out of the well on the wind that has begun to rise. I cannot see the fire leave the top of the well as I am at the bottom with Jesus, the Sword, looking up.

That’s all except to say that this vision has the feeling of something that has not started. It has feel of being a glimpse, like a little tease or a preview at a movie theater.

But I can’t wait to hear the body begin to talk of the steam – that lovely, softening vapor of beautiful fragrance – that somehow touched a place of the heart by surprise – a delightful ambush of joy or healing or understanding that brought a simple and treasured rest. And then the inextinguishable fire came suddenly with a wind that was so strange that one was inspired to breathe as for the first time. Life became about building and planting and the rush of is was intoxicating and the substance of it could actually be embraced.”

I read that to you tonite because I feel like we are here with the steam – the Holy Spirit being released but a supernatural softening of belief, of the heart, of holding things tightly and then letting them go.

Pastor Ted

When water flashes it’s more powerful than dynamite – it flashes 1200 times is original size. Steam is the testimony of, as that Sword – as the living Word came down in that place, to the foundation of that well which is the apostolic wealth of the sound – the whole future generations of the sound. It’s not just dependent on the fact that the Sword has entered into the very foundation of the well, but it’s dependent on our response to the Sword that’s come. The steam is what comes off of us, what comes out of us – not just because of the fire, because without the Sword we are consumed – it’s the combination of Him in the fire, it’s Him in the midst of us, it’s Him in our lives that causes something to come out of our confession, out of us that is more powerful than dynamite, more powerful than anything. It’s the flashing of water into steam – it’s a solid thing that becomes something that is beyond solid, that can’t be limited…I believe that God is saying that it’s our response of Him in the midst of where we find ourselves. We are in the foundation of generational things. This well is not a water well, it’s an anointing well, it’s a destiny well. It’s dependent upon our response of Him – not just our response to Him, but our response of Him. That flash is what’s coming off of us in this season, what’s coming off of us at this time…

Tabitha Hesselgesser

I saw myself in a corridor with a door closed right in front of me – it was a picture of what we can do in a lifetime, how far we can go – and pressing through and getting slowly to the door and waiting for it to open so we can go farther, and then going on to another door and waiting for it to open so we can go yet farther. But there was a limit to how far we could go in a lifetime.

As I was standing there, all of a sudden I heard the sound of hundreds of doors opening – one right after another, all the way down, farther down than I could see. They just all flew open.

My spirit cried, “Run! Run!” Not out of fear that we would miss something but because the limitations have suddenly – now, in this season – been lifted. Now we can go farther, faster than we’ve ever gone before. What each of us can accomplish in our lives is no longer limited. The limits have been lifted off and we can go as far as we want to go. So it felt like we should hurry and run just because we can! You can go so much farther than before.

 I feel like this has happened – on Tuesday (July corporate prayer) I felt a huge shift in the spirit realm. It feels like Fall to me, because it’s a time of launching and sending and new beginning. So that happened on Tuesday and I felt that all these doors have flown open and the limitations that were put upon each person were lifted. God is just saying, “You can go as far as you take Me.”

Teresa Turner

I saw I was standing on a rock shaped like a pedestal and it had this round hole shaped like a well. I felt like I was falling down it and I was discouraged because… “How could I be falling down?” Then I looked down at my feet and I realized that it wasn’t me that was falling, it was the walls that were moving. And that quickly, perspective changed about circumstances.

Will Price

I saw a suspension bridge over water, connecting one place to another

Jim Zornes

Re: prayer about spiritual conception: I have been sensing that a lot of people, especially in Abundant Life are “pregnant”. A lot of intercessors  are pregnant with things they wouldn’t think they would be.  It’s causing deeper relationship with Christ to bring these things to fruition – to a place of birthing. I feel very strongly that the birthing process is going to happen during conference. I feel very strongly that during conference there’s going to be a lot of birthing – of lot of things being released – a lot of launching. A lot of things are being said prophetically even now but there’s a launching pad that’s coming out of the conference in September so a lot of new births – even things that you wouldn’t think would be a birth. It’s bringing fruit into the supernatural as well as the natural.

Pastor Ted

The Lord says, “In this season I’m stretching My people to have a greater confidence in Me. In having a greater confidence in Me they will also have a greater confidence in themselves. There have been many things that My people have leaned upon, even thinking that those are the measures that I have given – they thought that those were the treasures that I have given out – they thought those were the provisions that I have prepared for the substance of the day.” The Lord says, “I desire to do a new thing. I desire to break into a place that is the place of the heart. It’s not a place of reasoning. It’s not a place of admonition that comes by the welfare of men – it comes by the conviction of My own heart,” says the Lord.

“In this season there’s going to come a stripping away of things that you might have thought were important so that you might discover the things that are of greater value. In that,” the Lord says, “there will come new ways of creativity. There will come new ways of expansion and its substance will not be limited. I am about promotion. Even when I put My men in the fiery test – when I spoke to My sons, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah – and I put them in the place of conflict, the conflict that was set against them was the very thing that revealed My favor and promotion,” says the Lord. “So I desire to promote My body. I desire to promote My people. I desire to promote their mindsets and the way of thinking that inhabits them – that there might be an embracing of things that could not be embraced in the season before.”

For the Lord says, “It’s all about confidence – confidence in Me, and confidence to see what I see, and then confidence to be what I declare to be. There will come forth a new substance of life as I advance My kingdom in this hour,” says God.

I keep hearing the word “significance”…what we think is insignificant is significant…

Pastor Ted

I see a man’s arm and the hand is buried in the mouth of a lion. The lion is holding his jaws open – it’s not that the lion’s going to bite – but there is something in the mouth of the lion that is being offered. The man’s hand is reaching into the mouth of the lion to retrieve it.

Ron Hildebrand

The Lord says, “Don’t be afraid when technology speeds up and knowledge becomes more abundant, new things are expanded, new technologies come and new businesses are started, I’ve given those ideas. Those ideas are there for you, My children. Do not be afraid. Grasp onto them and be a part of them. They’ve been designed for you.”

Zee Ellyson

I heard the Lord saying that part of the church’s mindset has been that the wealth of the heathen is laid up for the righteous, but the wealth of the heathen has now been wiped away. So God is saying that in this time there is going to be a supernatural pouring out on His people from the warehouse of heaven. We’re no longer going to be looking for the wealth of the heathen to pour into us, but from supernatural sources that are unexplained but are acceptable – so it won’t appear to the world to be illegal – God is going to pour out on His people.

It’s like a warehouse – like a silo – that’s been filled with grain and it’s bursting – not in a way that the structure is destroyed but that the doors are open and it’s just pouring, pouring, pouring, pouring out. It’s a direct thing from the throne of heaven that He’s going to begin pouring out on His people.

Gail Hildebrand

I saw a white picket fence, with a gate on it. The Lord was opening the gate – there was something so significant on the other side. God is not just opening the gate, He’s tearing down the fence. He says, “Come in to My significance. Come into My extremes and trust in Me. There is much here and I want to share them with you.” Learning His heart and mind and being blessed all at the same time.

Peggy Stewart

I’m seeing a woman who looks like she is just running for her life. There’s a sound that comes with her…the beat underneath her feet, the beat of her heart as she’s running. And then there’s the sound of the song coming from her heart that’s almost like a song of desperation – high, discordant notes. But within that, there comes a song that’s like one beat to each of her four that picks out one note from the song that her heart is singing – one note for every four that she’s giving off, sort of juxtapositioned over it. It’s not louder, but it’s stronger than her heart song.

Then I heard the Lord say, “I will encompass you about with songs of deliverance.”

Thank You, Lord, that Your song is stronger, is louder, is more penetrating than the noise of us.

Teresa Turner

I was seeing a native man draped in a bear skin. He was stomping and shouting and every time he would shout and stomp his foot two things would happen: a white substance would appear and fall from the sky, and the bear would change color – from dark to light, light to dark. As we were praying, about every four beats he would shout and stomp his feet. It’s been happening for a while now.

Jonathan Hanson

I was thinking about Jacob and how he would take every bad thing and God would bless it…it’s the fourth generation blessing…the inheritance that’s on Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is ours to take. It’s not going to be about things that are coming from man, it’s the fourth generation, it’s ours. That fourth (beat) is the fourth generation.

I keep getting a sense of convergence coming from a moment of trust beyond any normal boundaries.

Jim Zornes

What I’m sensing is regarding the hand reaching into the lion’s mouth: there’s a cry across our nation for justice – not a natural justice but the justice of the Kingdom. “The church does not understand the true meaning of justice, so I am causing a justice to come. There’s a roaring of My mouth and a roaring of the lion for justice. Justice is married with Mercy for My mercy will endure forever. You cannot have mercy without justice so I’m causing justice to come forward. I’m causing justice to be seen differently than ever before. People have come with an understanding of what they thought it was but I’m changing that. In this time and season, justice will not be a place where a verdict is rendered but where you understand that justice prevails. My justice is swift and quick and brings places of deliverance. Justice brings places of healing. Justice brings places of salvation. I am allowing My justice to come forth in a greater measure than the church has seen before. There has been a stifling when justice is rendered – people will hold back in the church because they think it’s about judgment. But My justice is not about judgment – judgment is about justice. There’s coming a place where justice will prevail. As justice comes across the church it will extend out of the church into the nations where justice is being cried for. This is a nation that is crying out for justice – in government, in healthcare…so I am changing things inside the structure so that justice will prevail. My justice will prevail.”

Tabitha Hesselgesser

I feel that there’s a new sound coming to worship. There’s a new sound that’s going to come from old places. This is for our worship team and worship teams all over and just everywhere – but especially, I feel like on worship teams. And on ours, worship leaders who have had an incredible sound are going to have a new added measure – and a new sound is going to come forth from them. Also, others who have been on the team whose sound hasn’t been fully heard before – it’s a sound that has been growing and building and it’s about to be released.

Jonathan Hanson

I hear God saying the time for trusting in things that are natural is fading – things you can see, hear, and know. Trusting in that is fading. Start trusting in what I’ve said and what I’m saying. Listen to what I’m saying and what I’m doing – the sound that I’m bringing out in the earth right now. This is the time to trust in that more than anything else right now. The things you trust and the things that you think are stable are not stable.

It’s not just the things that you think are stable, it’s the things that other people think are stable are not stable. People are looking for the true strength. They don’t know what it is. They think it’s the government, they think it’s things that are not stable. They’re looking for what is truth – what is strong, something you can really believe in. It’s something you can’t see or hear, it’s faith. It’s trusting what I’m doing.

Everywhere the river goes there is life. Everywhere the river touches there is life. That’s where the trees grow. That’s where the healing is…

I believe the lion is saying He’s keeping what He’s giving in his mouth – re: conference – because it’s a form of commission. It’s a commission that takes courage and boldness to come and receive because it’s not something that’s bestowed on you. It’s offered but it takes a measure of courage and boldness to step forward and reach into the mouth of an open lion – even if you know that the lion is passive – because there are still sharp teeth in that mouth – and if it was any kind of a natural lion you could lose your hand. But you have to get close enough to feel the lion’s breath to receive what He’s giving you. He wants you to get up close and personal…

Pastor Ted

The Lord says, “In this hour, for My people, for My family, for My body there’s going to come a new understanding of favor – it’s My friendship.”

The Lord says, “It’s not in the testing that favor is discovered, it’s discovering the favor that enables you to endure all tests. It’s not in the absence of the tests that favor is proven, but the favor is there and the favor prevails all tests. I’m bringing My people to an hour where they will understand – they will receive that understanding that I am your friend. From that place I am empowering My people in friendship. I am empowering them not only to be My friend, but to be a friend to the thing that cries out from the earth for life. It’s in that favor – not as some treasure earned, not as in some reward given, not just as a prize that’s attained – it’s in the deepest intimacy and the strongest expression of love and favor to understand that I have chosen to declare that you’re My friends – and that I am your friend,” says God.

Ron Hildebrand

I saw a Viking boat in a really rough sea, and there’s a helicopter that’s coming down trying to rescue the people in the Viking boat. Then I saw a big fish come out of the ocean…but the Lord reminded me that He used a big fish at a different time to rescue some folks – saved over 120,000.

Zee Ellyson

Re: Jude – wind that brings clouds that have no rain. In contrast, I feel that the Lord has said about our body of people, that there will be a wind that cools and refreshes and a cloud that protects from the burning sun and there will be rain that is the refreshing, life-giving rain at the beginning of harvest. It won’t be a wind that tears and rips. It won’t be a cloud that’s full of lightning that brings fires and destruction. It will be a wind that cools and refreshes and a cloud that protects from burning sun and rain that brings refreshing.

Ruth Bergman

God showed me a church that’s all scattered around. And we’ve taken hands and come together and as we drew into the middle of the room we all brought our hands up. As we brought our hands up the roar of the lion was mighty over us. It was a fresh sound and a strong sound. I believe that as we come together and draw in to the conference, God is saying there’s going to be a mighty, fresh sound – a mighty move from the lion as He roars.

Peggy Stewart

I’m sensing that there’s a mathematical equation that the Lord has released. We’re going to see it in the mathematicians and the mathematics realm. But the Lord keeps saying to remember that He released it in the spirit realm first. It’s shocking – a profound equation that shakes everything that we thought we knew. He says, “It lets you leap.”

Emilyanne Zornes

(inspirations from the movie ‘Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs’) God released it in the spirit first… it’s meant to be encouragement to us. That this was in His realm way before we’re seeing it here. We’re meant to be encouraged by that reality.

Pastor Ted

Sometimes it’s important to visit words that we think are past… “2008, step out of the gate” and the four lepers. That has been really on my spirit this week – that word has yet to be fulfilled. Just because 2008 ended, does that make that prophetic word invalid, or does it make that prophetic word yet completely valid?…as we’re talking about the abundance, things changing in a moment, that’s really been in my spirit this week…there were some specific things that were clearly stated in that that you have to know about yourself in order to take that step…

Emilyanne Zornes

That was something about feeding/seeding the clouds – it’s something from before, also. The idea that it comes from us so that it can come from heaven…and us coming together and raising our hands in praise releases the words of the lion…and that we give so that God can respond. Those are older words as well.

Jonathan Hanson

It fits something in the “Are you watching?” idea

Yvonne Cornmesser

In the middle of the room – starting before we even started – there is a white substance coming from heaven and it’s coming down in waves. Most waves are horizontal – this one is vertical. I heard God say, “I’m going to turn you upside down.”

Re: an upside down rainbow and a right side up rainbow that Pastor Ted saw on his trip, and a tv show about lions that Jonathan had seen…God says, “You were watching. And if you hadn’t really been watching, you wouldn’t have noticed them.” We need to really be watching.

Re: Peggy’s vision of the woman running…God took the beat out of her music, removed the desperation and made a God-sound out of it. That’s what He’s going to be doing for us at the conference. There are going to be people who come in absolute desperation, and He is going to take those notes and turn them into God-music.

And I saw waves, like sound waves, in this room. They were different colors – based on what your receiver is set for. What you are expecting is what you’re going to receive. If you’re expecting something bad, that’s what is going to get you. If you’re expecting glory to come, that’s what’s going to hit you. You need to have an expectation of God – have your receiver set for God-things.

I feel like there’s an invitation from God to walk into what might be the hardest place for you to walk into, but to trust – to say to the lion, “I’m going to reach into here and I know I’m going to see something absolutely horrible, but I know You’re going to transform that into life.”

Jonathan Hanson

That’s definitely what the conference is about. It’s about ‘are you watching’ but not from a distance, but what’s in your life that’s stopping Me from coming to you. I’ve been sensing that so strongly – the law of attraction – what you believe is going to happen to you is going to happen to you – what you are, you attract…I really sense that this is ‘looking in the mirror’ season. That’s what this conference is. It could be a very intimate, very hard place for people to go…even this mathematical equation is not going to turn things into what you expect. It’s different. It doesn’t fit with math, it affects more than just math.

Pastor Ted

“2008 – step out of the gate. It’s time to accelerate. You are His living gate.”

1.   Quit listening to a noise

2.   Believe there is an open heaven

3.   Quit confessing that calamity is from the Lord

4.   You must hear the word of the Lord and act upon hearing the word of the Lord

5.   Realize you’ve been living in a gate and realize the purpose of it –

       see yourself as God’s gate to the east

6.   Move forward from the old gate – you can no longer hide in your shame –

       you can’t hide in your weakness – see yourself with nothing to lose – believe your

       footsteps can create a new day – you are destiny – you can’t be willing to live another

       day as you were - to stay where you are is death – it’s a sleeping place –

       staying where you are is not walking in purpose

7.   Move forward and expect what you have not dared to expect before

8.   Don’t trust in noises – characterized by trusting in chariots, horses and donkeys –

       If you trust in noise you will fear    - don’t trust in noise, don’t fear  

9.   Remain responsible to your original purpose

10. Don’t try to save your life

11. When you receive the blessing, understand the purpose of the blessing –

       it’s a day of good news – don’t be silent but bring the good news to the generations

12. When you hear of the blessings of others, you must be willing to believe

       the blessing is also yours – you’ve got to be willing to die to your past in order to

       receive your future – if you’re not willing to move forward out of the gate, you will

       die in the gate.

Sunday 9-06-09 - Pastor Ted

We are in a very strategic time in the earth. The next 20 years is going to take on a whole new dynamic. God is going to cause His people to become His people in a greater measure and their thinking is going to change. They’re going to make decisions from who they are rather than who they are not. The world is crying out for change from what is not, but God is going to release His people to become an answer from what is. There are yet answers that are going to be given in a time of lack. There are answers that are going to be given in a time of limitation, but don’t give the credit to man – give the credit to the I Am, because God is going to release strategies and keys. When you remember Him you release the glory of who He is.

Watch and see as technology expands – revolutionary things in the area of knowledge – that are going to happen in these next 20 years. Even the whole form of how you think things to be is going to change. Communication is going to expound to be interconnected with things that are intimate. Watch and see as things even change in the realm of media and television. People are so wanting to know the inner circle and the inner secret – they’re going to discover the inner circle and the inner secret, but the perversion in the world is going to come as a word of gossip and the word of fear. But the truth in the kingdom is going to come as a word of intimacy that people’s hearts are more important than the logic of their minds. Watch and see even as your experience of television is going to change – your experience of media is going to change. Watch and see as things are going to come – be on the cutting edge, be ready (you could read some things), but the Lord says there’s going to come such a revolution of knowledge. Don’t be distracted by information in a time of knowledge, for true knowledge is intimacy.

This is the church’s wisest hour – this is the church’s greatest moment – if you’ll understand it’s all about intimacy, it’s all about friendship, it’s all about Me wanting to reveal to you what I’m going to do – not limiting what I’m going to say. It’s all about Me wanting to have a relationship with you that is practical – but you’re going to have to have a mindset shift. You’re going to have to have a mindset shift. You’re going to have to have a mindset shift. You’re going to have to have a mindset shift. God says, “My people are going to have to be givers and not getters – receivers to give, not receivers to take. You’re going to have to understand the importance of your life. You’re going to have to show up for your life. You’re going to have to understand the importance of your life – your life is not a wreck and a project that’s seeking to be repaired – although, let Me repair what’s there. Don’t cover it up because it’s not the things that you do that will be mighty, it’s who you are that will empower the things that you do because you are mighty. If you’ll allow Me to go to that layer of intimacy, I’ll make things so real for you.

“I am so pleased with you. I’m so blessed to call you My children. I’ve wanted a generation that I could love. In this time you’re going to find that I’m going to make decisions not by My voice of who I am but by My voice of who you are. I’m going to make some decisions that seem unfair. I’m going to make some decisions for the undeserving based upon who I am not based upon what they are not, because the opposite of life is not death, death is the absence of life. So I’m going to walk through the halls of justice and I’m going to make some decisions for that which is unfair by the fact that I am more than fair. If you have a religious mindset, if you’re seeking to take, if you’re seeking the vindication of self you might be angry with Me. But I AM who I AM.”

I saw clothes and garments being made. I saw angels putting the garments on people throughout the church. What God said was, “I’m changing your clothes before the mindsets are changed. Dress the part of royalty.” A lot of times out of our own understanding and thinking we try to fix something before we go for it – we’ve got to do this, this and this – but God is saying, “No, just put on the clothes now, because the clothes will change your mindset.” I saw velvets, silks, purples, blues, oranges, creams. As clothing was being put on people they still had the same mindset, but their countenances changed. I started seeing crowns with jewels – and as people were taking their jewels off their crowns and giving them away, more were being put on them.

Then I heard people start to say they were lacking things and God said, “It’s not about your lack, it’s about My abundance.” And to the person who says, “I have abundance”, God says, “Now you’ll see My exuberance. Those who have My exuberance will now see My excellence.”

So the stages that we’re going through – you can’t out-give God. Even if you’re walking in the fullness, there’s still something more from God because you’re never quite full enough. He’s always giving.

So this picture that I saw is a picture of the season that we’re in – all the changes that are happening – it’s time that we put on the clothes and feel the part that we are qualified to walk in. As we put these clothes on our mindsets will change to see the abilities. It’s like dressing for success because God is saying it’s time to put out the best – so when you put those clothes on your bringing something into effect.

It came to my mind that if we have a fear (about going some direction) it means that God wants us to move in that way, because satan works through fear. So if you’re getting a fearful feeling about something you have a gut feeling that God is telling you to do or be, go ahead and walk that way.

Pastor Ted

I hear the Lord saying, “This is a season and a time where My purposes are going to be revealed. There has been a time when My people have sought the purpose of that which is within them, but I have caused there to be a growth from within and an expectation for greater than that which you saw before. I desire the greater purpose to come beyond all that you see as your own purpose. In this hour and this time I’m going to reveal My purposes in the earth. At a time when those would call out, ‘Despair!’,”  the Lord says, “I’m there and I’m going to fully come to bring forth My glory in this time. I will bring forth My glory with strategy. I will bring forth My glory with focus. I will release the plans that I have had, the plans that I have and the plans that I am unfolding. There will come forth a new zeal in the house of God. There will come forth a new zeal for the house of God. But there will also come forth a zeal that goes beyond the house of God – a zeal that comes because of the house of God – a zeal that comes forth for My purposes in the earth. As My purposes are unveiled,” the Lord says, “there’s going to come a greater longevity to the things which are received. They won’t be received in a moment, they won’t be received for a day. They will be received for that which goes beyond even the moment that you can see, beyond the day in which you can live. My purposes will be unveiled in this hour.”

I hear the Lord saying, “There’s going to be an influx of people into the kingdom. It’s a time to stretch out the tent pegs again – widen those areas of your heart. There’s an expansion of boundaries and it’s a year of influencing for the sake of others – (so) expect that which we are influencing, expect the increase of others, to come – not only into our house but into the kingdom.

I hear the Lord saying, “This will be a year of new selling-out. There will be a new selling out that comes into the hearts of My people and into the passion that comes in their hearts. People are going to give themselves to each other and to the purposes of My kingdom, in a greater way.”

I hear the Lord saying, “There is provision for vision.” Last week I had a dream that we were in a different building and while we were worshipping the Lord gave me back the vision that we were in a different church building.

Tabitha Hesselgesser

I was seeing sparks of color – millions of them in all different colors – swirling around us. As I was seeing them, I was feeling my whole body being sucked back and up (like the ride Gravitron).

Yvonne Cornmesser

I think that is what’s being released right now. While we were singing an angel entered the room with a cross. He was with Jesus while He was dying on the cross. And he said, “It was so hard to not do anything.” The angels wanted to step in and stop it, but Jesus wouldn’t let them. Jesus said, “No, because I love these people so much. This is what needs to be done.” He imparted the love that He had for us to them so that they wouldn’t interfere – wouldn’t do something. That angel came tonite, stood here and released what was released (to the angels) at the cross. He said, “I’m bringing something ancient. I’m releasing it to you now. It’s a love for people that you have never experienced before.

There is a turning inside-out. As we are in the glory and we are in the presence of God the gems and jewels that are hidden inside the rocks can’t remain there any longer. They turn inside out so that the jewels that have been hidden all along are now on the outside of the rock so they are seen. The value and treasures that are hidden inside of us are drawn out and we are wearing them on the outside. We feel like we’ve been turned inside out, but God says, “You feel inside out but you aren’t. That is the way that I made you. Your inside out is My right side out. You keep the value and the gems and the treasures hidden deep inside of you, but now is the time that I am drawing them out so you will wear them on the outside so they will be seen like never before. Where you have hidden things in your heart and kept your heart hidden it’s now going to be on the outside for all to see because the love that you have for people is going to be so predominant it will be impossible to hide it any longer.

I saw a boat full of people and Jesus on the water saying, “Come to Me.” Everybody in the boat wanted to step out onto the water, many people did. But when they stepped out the water came up over their ankles – it was unexpected – and a lot of people weren’t comfortable with it. It was really hot water and Jesus was saying to trust Him and come in further. Some went in further and it was kind of like getting into a hot tub – it stings and then it’s very soothing and nice and relaxing – it’s stepping out, the transition…

Barb Athearn

I hear the Lord saying, “The pressures in the earth, the hindrances that seem to be set before My people, before all people, are not meant to stop My purposes. They are the very things that are going to prove My purposes. It is going to rise up from within.” The Lord says, “This is not a time when I am bringing the answer to you, this is a time when I am revealing the answers within you. This is a time when I am causing there to be a breaking forth of that which is an ancient thing – that which is of inheritance, that which is of destiny, that which is according to My purposes. It’s something new, but not new. It was hidden from long ago but now is the season and now is the time.” The Lord says, “It’s going to come from within the hearts of my people. Even some who have been in the battle for some time – have hoped to see the recovery and even hoped to find the discovery – are going to realize that the hope has been in them all along. There’s going to come a new grace for maturity, a new grace for growing, a new grace for giving, a new grace for expanding, a new grace for giving out that which is in yourselves – or that which would activate that which is within others.” For the Lord says, “You will not give yourselves to be the life source to others, you will give yourselves to activate the life source that is in others. For the treasure is in the vessel.”

The Lord says, “There will not be some who will be this way and then others who benefit from it, but all will come to the place of knowing Me at a new level – and all will come to a place of being able to grasp hold of what they could not grasp hold of before. It will be an individual grace yet it will be seen as a corporate grace as each one comes and rises up in their place – as each does their share, each supplies. But that supply is not to meet the needs of others, it’s to activate that force that’s in others, so that all will come and know the hope of glory.

Tracy LaBrie

“There’s a new focus moving from self to Me,” says the Lord. “It’s no longer a focus on bitterness or the things that are going to get rid of bitterness, but focus on Me. It’s going to take the focus off self. It’s an easy transition that’s going to move you into this ‘hatching’… There’s an ease to the hatching – the chick doesn’t work hard, it’s natural. It’s a natural thing – a transition of focus from the bitterness in what was dark to the revealing of the pearls and gems, the things I have inside of you. So don’t focus on self, don’t focus on those things that have held you back, held people back. Focus on the things that bring the life, that are going to extract Me out of people, extract Me through people, that are going to deliver Me to people and through people.”

I just hear, “It’s the opposite, the opposite of what you thought, the opposite.”

Pastor Ted

I keep hearing ‘God’s purposes’ – the hatching of this egg is not a revealing of who you are or who we are corporately. It is the revealing of the bigger plan of God. It’s going to bring great excitement. I’m reminded of the vision I had at the beginning of the year – if the Bride would call the winds of change winds of increase, she would rise up in her brightest hour and she would become the life-giving womb of God in the earth. Another name for an egg that is hatching is ‘womb’. “There is a womb that is an ancient womb – it’s a womb that at times has seemed almost barren, at times it has seemed abandoned, not connected to the will or intent of My people. But,” God says, “it’s right on time and this is the season where My life-giving place is going to be revealed. But it’s not going to be life-giving to you, it’s going to be life-giving because of you. It’s not going to be something that comes merely to do something that meets your needs – it will go way beyond that. It’s going to come forth and be an influence that is world changing – not just world shaking, world-changing. There are many world-shaking things that are going on but God says He’s bringing forth world-changing things.

Shandel McCafferty

I hear the Lord saying that He’s going to use the ordinary to bring forth His extraordinary in the earth. Those who are caught up in the show – the event – of what goes on are going to be even surprised as God comes with ordinary and brings forth His extraordinary through ordinary people. Many are going to be caught off guard. He gives grace to the humble. His grace is going to come by those who are humble in Him.

Jim Zornes

It’s easier to die for somebody than it is to live for somebody. It’s easier to allow your life to be dead than it is to live for another person. As we come into the Kingdom room – this place where we live for the Kingdom – the focus is on living for somebody else. It’s the true heart of Jesus because He truly lived the Kingdom. As we live the heart of Christ and get His heart – that we truly live for somebody else – it’s going to cause us something greater than death itself. In death, it’s endless – yes, you gave your life for that person, but it’s over. It’s greater to live for somebody else than to die. We are coming into a season where people that we would not normally associate with – our hearts are going to change to the point that we cannot live without being a part of their lives. Inside this kingdom we are going to see what it’s like to live for somebody else, in a greater measure than we have ever thought.

And inside that, He’s breaking down some of the cliques that happen inside the church – I see a coming together of this church where everybody has a heart for everybody. Not just, “Hi. Howya’ doin’?”, on Sunday – truly getting to know that person to the point that you’re willing to give everything for that person and their family. It’s a convergence that hasn’t been seen in the body of Christ – living for somebody else regardless of their circumstances – financially well-off or the lowest of the low, spiritually mature or immature. Everybody has something to give. Sometimes (someone could speak into somebody else’s life but) it goes unsaid because of status or position, but I see that coming to an end in this Kingdom…to the point where they’re willing to lay their lives down and live for somebody else.

A reminder of the previous word about the whirlwind – no longer is it blowing clockwise but it’s blowing counterclockwise…(so were the lights in Tabitha’s vision at the start of this meeting)…this wind, instead of making things fly out, is drawing things into the center and people are being drawn together.  

Rhonda LaBrie (glued together with a good deal of paraphrasing)

Re: Gideon – “the angel of the Lord came [to] His son, Gideon…” Gideon was a mighty man of valor because he was His (God’s) son – the church has always been into the exploits, etc. but it comes from knowing first that God came to you first because you are His son… There’s a new revelation for us to live as sons – that God is going to bring out the revelation that’s been in His word forever about His people being sons. We’re only princes because we are sons. We’re not princes before we’re sons. Everybody wants to be a prince before we even know what being a son means. But really prince-hood comes from first being a son.

Tracy LaBrie (heavily paraphrased)

He called him a son – He called him a ‘mighty man of valor’ before he ever did anything. God gave him an ‘Obama’ award (referencing the Pulitzer Peace Prize coming as a good faith award for the vision the President has) – it’s a revelation that those of us who hear Him already will take His word to those who don’t hear yet. We are ‘mighty men of valor’ who don’t know we are. We have the award (already) for giving them what we have. We have an inheritance – God’s inheritance – to come through us to them.

Jim Zornes (somewhat paraphrased)

Re: 2008, step out of the gate and how it was acknowledged at conference that we haven’t left the gate yet…

One of the reasons we haven’t been able to go out from that gate yet is that our mindsets that need to shift are just starting to – so that we can move from the changed mindset. As we change our mindsets and grab hold of what God is speaking and the revelation behind it – then once we go from the gate there will be a greater authority because we were diligent to not step out of the gate prematurely. There’s a big shift right now and as we come into that mind shift – as we grasp it – we’re going to be able to go further outside the gate than we were…we’re not going to get stuck in the wilderness. Stepping out of the gate is going to happen quickly and soon but it’s going to take on a really different dimension than what it would have had we done it a year ago.  

Yvonne Cornmesser

During worship I saw Jesus walking in the desert and it started snowing in the desert. As He walked along, the things that were dry would spring up with life. You don’t expect that life in the snow in the desert, but that’s what was happening.

God showed up in my room last night and my whole wall was bright white – the glory was all over the wall. Suddenly there was a swirling of colors in the whiteness – and it became a waterfall. There were flashes of white, white light all over my bed.

I feel like it’s one thing for the glory to just be there, but it was a downpour – it’s not just here but it is forcefully here.

Tabitha Hesselgesser

Re: the many-colored light swirl…they were spinning so fast that each one became a streak of light. It felt like, even though it was big and all around us, it was moving in but staying the same size it was becoming more dense. I felt like it created a new realm – we’re in a new realm (even the whole church) and there’s an increase in authority with that.

Peggy Stewart

For pondering: I’ve been really aware of sound these days…in worship there’s a vibration in the sound itself these days, and I feel that when I lean into it I go from ‘here’ to ‘there’. It’s like the vibration is the truth that’s being untethered and when you lean into it you go from ‘here’ to ‘there’.

Last Sunday, corporately as the Bride, you could hear the sound of hearts opening up, really opening up,  and then the drums did a war beat for a moment and there was a picture of the Bride giving herself and then the King going to war for the Bride. A new dynamic of intimacy…

Shandel McCafferty (paraphrased)

Expensive relationships becoming commonplace has to do with where we’re going in coming out of that gate.
