A TIME FOR OPENING

August 26, 2010

I believe the Lord is indicating by His Spirit that we have entered a window of time for things TO BE OPENED to us! By faith, we are to proclaim "opening" to circumstances, finances, understanding, eyes, ears, and even wombs.

Isaiah 61:1 - "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to PROCLAIM liberty to captives, and OPENING to prisoners..."

Here are some of the areas that I feel the Lord has released grace for opening:

       OPENING OF EYES TO SEE, both naturally and spiritually (Matt.9:29,30)
       OPENING OF UNDERSTANDING (Luke 24:45)
       OPENING OF GATES/TREASURES (Isa.45:1-3)
       OPENING OF WINDOWS OF HEAVEN TO POUR OUT BLESSINGS (Mal.3:10)
       OPENING OF DOORS WHEN WE KNOCK (Luke 11:10)
       OPENING OF DOOR IN HEAVEN TO REVEAL THINGS TO COME (Rev.4:1)
       OPENING OF EARS TO HEAR, both naturally and spiritually (Matt.13:16)
       OPENING OF WOMBS, both naturally and spiritually (Gen.29:31; Gen.30:22)
       OPENING OF THAT WHICH IS BLOCKED WITH THE KEY OF DAVID(Isa.22:22;Rev.3:7)

Nugget of Gold: Proclaim opening to that which has been closed! Receive your opening by faith, knowing that God is for you and that He has ordained this window of time for the manifestation of your promises.

Lord, may You confirm Your word, granting that signs and wonders be done in our midst!

WHIRLWINDS OF FIRE

August 14, 2010

The Lord reminded me of a vision He had given me of a Whirlwind, as well as a prophetic word in August of last year concerning the sending out of His whirlwind. A week ago, when Chuck Pierce was in Houston, one of the speakers saw "whirlwinds of fire" throughout the city.

I believe the Lord has now released His whirlwind! Destruction is coming for those who have built on any foundation other than Jesus. These people, churches, and ministries will suffer loss if they've built according to man's wisdom, which "is foolishness before God". However, His whirlwind will pick up and propel His righteous ones to the place that He has prepared for us! The Lord will reward those who have built according to His Spirit, and it is these "structures" that will go forward into this decade and beyond!

Proverbs 10:25 - "When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting FOUNDATION."

1 Cor.3:11,13 - "For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ..... each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with FIRE; and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work."

The Lord quickened to me that He is releasing tangible evidence of the prophetic promises He has given to us. This evidence of what is soon to manifest fully will be seen by "eyewitnesses", thus leaving no doubt of that which God has spoken.

2 Peter 1:16-19 - "We were eyewitnesses.... And we ourselves heard this utterance.... And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place until the day dawns...."

The word "sure" is defined by Webster's dictionary as "reliable; trustworthy; basing of a conclusion or conviction on definite grounds or indubitable (too evident to be doubted) evidence". Until now, the prophetic words that the Lord has given to each of us have stood as "a lamp shining in a dark place". But now, the "day dawns", and that which has been spoken in private will be seen openly.

The Lord recently demonstrated this in our women's ministry through a substantial donation. This money is enabling us to proceed with two projects the Lord had given to us, but is also a clear indication of His pleasure and favor. Thus, the prophetic word concerning the future of the ministry was "made more sure" through this generous gift!

NUGGET OF GOLD: What prophetic promises has the Lord given to you? Has He been quickening one or more of them in recent days? Be looking for a manifestation concerning your Word, and know that the time of its fulfillment draws near.
