The Spirit of the Lord Says,

“Today, I am coming to release greater instructions about the narrow way available to my prophets who have stayed calm in a time of shaking. You have boldly shared the truth of who I am without denying what you have seen. Today, I am coming to outline how I want you to steward an increasing measure of authority. 

Over the past 2+ years, I removed your false security. I sent you fresh revelation daily, and like Elijah, you knew me as “God your Daily Bread”. Eating the bread of my presence,  I consecrated you for myself. I taught you as a parent teaches a toddler to speak; correcting your syntax, your pronunciation, and giving you bolder and bolder words until you really began to sound like me.

The time has come now for me to unveil the authority of Christ in you. Enter in by my Spirit! This paradigm shift starts in the Spirit and ripples into your natural circumstances. You must choose to enter in intentionally and in advance of your circumstantial breakthrough. 

Quiet, Increased Authority is the Mark of the New Paradigm

Today I am coming to instruct you about the authority that will rise on you as you enter in. You will bear audacious, shocking Christlike authority. If the thought of carrying a Christlike authority puts you in holy fear of the Lord, listen carefully and I will explain the limits of your role. I will not give you more authority than you can bear. I will not make you co-equal with my son, but I am increasing your delegated authority because at last, I have purified prophets. I will give you the grace to escape pride and false responsibility. Simply keep your eyes on me.

Today, I have set the stage for you to appear as Christ. Before, I called you to speak and sow, to develop, tear down, and establish. In this season, I am calling you to embody the fullness of who I am. Instead of eloquent speeches and effects, I am calling you like a silent model on the runway to wear Christ. Your responsibility is simple obedience, being led onto the runway, allowing Christ to be revealed in you, and seeking your reward from me off stage. Gone are the days of performance prophesy.  As you simply stand in my quiet authority, the world will recognize that I am enough. 

How to Enter In? Pulling Authority down from Recognition of Who I AM

To enter into a season of co-ruling and authority, pull on the weight of who I am. My character is limitless, and in this season I refuse to be limited. In past seasons, I gave you partial weight of glory based on what I have DONE. But in this season, you must drink and pull on the stream of who I AM. Drink deeply! Worship the full expression of my character, the full expression of my emotions, past to present! From worshipping who I AM, I will give you the grace to pull down the level of authority that corresponds to what you have experienced my my character. I will dress you in what you have experienced of me. The deeper your solidarity with me, the greater your authority. By identifying with me on a deeper level, I will cause others to identify you more deeply with Christ. In this era of Paradigm Shift, you will be the Prophet of My Experience. People will experience me through encountering you.

Do not be startled. This ground is more familiar than you may realize. You have left the one-man, one-word de-construction age of Gideon and come into the rulership age of David, but I AM the one who does not change. The truth of who I AM is the common thread between both ages, that gave strength to Gideon (Judges 6:22) and authority to David (Psalm 63).

Instructions for the Prophets: Let Your Weight Rest

You did not buy your authority, it was given to you by my son Jesus. The authority he gives you is delegated, allocated specifically to establish his Kingdom within this time period. I will sovereignly give some of you an even greater degree of authority because  I urgently need what you are building to be established on the Earth. Do not be surprised when prophets whose ministries carry a new revelation of my character receive increased authority by my sovereign choice. It will not be by their choice either, but by their agreement. Do not envy one another, but collaborate to pool your resources so that Jesus can receive even more worship. Be on your guard and build alliances based on humility. Satan will send the appearance of increased authority to some prophets, but their pride will expose them. Prophets who have received their authority directly from heaven will demonstrate an equal measure of increased humility. Aspire to pass the test and ask for grace for increased humility and wisdom.

Humility may cause you to be surprised by the ease of bearing this degree of authority. To the pure in heart, it will be simple. Jesus will share his visions. Be unflinching: Do not shrink back, and do not exalt yourself. Simply follow his plans. In fear of the Lord, you are right to sense the urgency of the hour, because I am l moving in power. Still, do not let the increasing extreme conditions cause you to take your eyes off me. You know who I am. 

You have stepped forward to assume responsibility, but you must also take off false responsibility. You did not design these circumstances, so you are not responsible for others’ choices in them. To bear my weight, you must become a master of taking off every unnecessary weight. If you take on a false responsibility for other people’s response to my justice or join them in injustice, it will crush you (Matthew 18:6). Only agree with me and steward your portion of responsibility, which is unwavering obedience. This is not the day of equivocation, but a clear yes. When you are afraid, I will work within your emotions and human limits to show you why my plans are better.

I, Christ in you, will make you a stumbling block. Remember the story of the judgment of the Philistines? The authority of my ark defaced Philistine idols (1 Samuel 5). The authority of my ark caused people physical tumors and sickness (1 Samuel 5). Even as you allow me to be God the Judge, do not be ignorant of the severity of the season. In the fiery furnace of the past year, I have poured out grace to remove every root of offense and bitterness in your hearts. I healed you so that in days of increased authority, you would not let offense crush the one I want to save! My purpose is not about you! I have made you a sign of the times so that you can show mercy. Remember Peter’s holy terror when he encountered Jesus as a Prophet (Luke 5:8). From the least to the greatest, the days are increasing when I recieving a prophet means welcoming the presence of holy terror into the room. As I make you even more intense, you must also bear greater gentleness. I will hold you personally accountable for how you respond to my flock (Luke 12:48, Ezekiel 36). If you use your increased authority to rule over them with greater harshness, I will use MY increased authority to judge you more harshly. Be warned: a season of increased authority means that the consequences for poor leadership have increased.

As I remove every unnecessary weight and increase your capacity to bear holy weight, I am giving you a different standard to measure organizations. Before, I called you to release favor to the degree that others received my presence in you (Matthew 10:9-14). Now, I am calling you to release weight to organizations in proportion to the degree they receive Christ’s authority in you. You are my representatives. I will require organizations to make a choice to receive or deny Christ through you. Come to them in the meekness of wisdom, and watch to see who is willing to honor him. From the greatest to the least, no one will be exempt from the requirement of a righteous response.

I have called an end to favor based on the personality of the prophet! With humility, organizations must honor the prophets and apostles who have the specific delegated remit for the sphere of society they wish to influence. They will receive the crucial breakthrough and rulership they need when they honor my prophets. Again, I have created this shift to dismantle the Kingdom of Man and demonstrate the value of honor to my Kingdom Government. In Christ, be honorable, and worthy of honor. 

Now, keep watch! The responsibility to release weight is greater than the responsibility to release favor. Watch to see how much organizations receive Christ as King, as the only Way, Truth, and Life. Only let your weight rest on organizations that respect his authority. It will not crush them. Stay close to me, and I will show you. I will hold you responsible to judge which groups can bear the weight. If you release my weight on an organization that does not have the capacity to receive me, I will hold you responsible. Repent and ask me for wisdom.

Instructions for the Church and Prophets: Recognizing the Narrow Way

My Bride, I want you to know the times and the seasons (Jeremiah 8:7). I want you to know and recognize the narrow way I am putting before you.

Instructions for the Church: Receiving Paradigm Shift Prophets

Church, I am also calling you into increased responsibility to test and respond to the prophets who operate in my name. I am giving you increased grace for discernment of humility and pride in the prophets. Church leaders, you are my gate keepers. Apostles, you are my region keepers. You must be more certain of a prophet’s humility before you ask for a personal or organizational word of prophesy! Do not judge by appearances only! Ask me, and I will direct you to prophets with tested character. Do not be startled if my choice of representative surprises you.

You have contended for a visitation, but during this time period, my prophets ARE the visitation. Only invite them if you are hungry for reformation and will contend for your region/organization/family/sector’s future. Make room in your hearts for them, and make room in your hearts for me. Ask me to search your hearts in advance of a gathering, and I will faithfully expose whatever still needs addressed. I want you to receive every good thing I have for you, but tend the to ground of your hearts so that their words can bear fruit. I do not want you to circle the mountain forever, I want to bring you out of the cyclical challenges you and your organizations are facing. Let me come minister to you in reformation.

When my prophets come into a room, you will feel the word that they have come to release before they speak it. I am increasing your capacity to feel my emotions outside of the prophets so that when they speak, you will recognize that I have affirmed their testimony. They will be storytellers, they will be message bearers, they may speak intensely and they may speak softly. While their humility may cause them to bear a subtle approach, watch to see whether their messages are backed by natural phenomena and signs before, during, and after they are share. I will increasingly back them by signs so that you will understand that they are only repeating what they are seeing and hearing from me. The humble will allow their vindication to come from me, and will not self defend. You will feel my weight and purity on them, and recognize that there is a required response. Let them demonstrate what that response should look like. 

I am sending you purified prophets, so respond to them with the honor required! I have been a Mother in travail over these prophets, and they are precious to me (1 Samuel 2). I have myself have woven mantles for them and continue weaving them. I have called them to replace prophets like the sons of Eli, and I clap my hands in excitement for what I will do through them! Do not respond to them in entitlement like Saul, but in contrition like David. Watch your heart and mirror my joy in receiving these prophets. I will use them to bless you, but I want you to honor them.

Instructions for the Prophets: Embody Christ’s Mercy, Let God Send Justice Externally

When Christ came to you, he did not come as Judge but as Redeemer (John 8:14-17). He acted in accordance to my dearest wishes: I did not send my Son into the world to condemn it, but to save the world through him (John 3:17). Prophets, just as Christ withheld judgment even to those who rightly deserved it but left judgment to me, I am calling you to abide in mercy. I will give you the grace to abide in the full spectrum of my emotions, but I want you to contend to abide in mercy so that I myself will be called “God the Righteous Judge.” Let our roles be separate. I will cause the circumstances around you to confirm your delegated words and mete out justice. As for yourselves, pursue reconciliation as much as possible. Yearn for it and press in. Contend for gentleness, so that in increasingly extreme conditions, my wrath can be increasingly averted (Genesis 18:16-33). Remember that Jesus refrained from judgment for the majority of his ministry because he wanted them to come into repentance. You must increasingly embody Jesus’ gentleness as I mete out my power.

Put on the right attitude of Christ: “I do not judge, but even if I do judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me” (John 8:15-16). “My Father sees what is done in secret, he will reward you” (Matthew 6:4). “Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him” (John 5:23). 

Prophets, do not speak in self defense. In Jesus, let yourself be vindicated by the Spirit. When people do not understand the effect you have in a space, ask for discernment to understand whether they are teachable or whether you the Father will need to show them directly. When you sense that it is not yours to explain, simpy say: “I will ask the Lord to reveal it to you.” Just as Jesus waited until his true nature was revealed to the disciples, do not speak prematurely but let my Spirit lead. When you speak a word in advance of my right timing to release it, the people will prematurely be responsible to bear the weight of it. They will not have time to go on the right stewardship process, and you will have limited their capacity to freely choose me. Do not put heavy burdens on the people’s shoulders through your carelessness! Wait until the right time to speak or say nothing. If you come to me, I will give you wisdom for pacing and timing.

Prophets, your own leadership success depends on your capacity to mete out mercy! I have called you to mercy to save your own life, for your good and not for other people! Remember that the reason I spared David’s life and did not write him out of my story was because of the many times he showed mercy (to Saul, to Abner, to Mephibosheth, to many).

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom. 13For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment

James 2:12-13

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Matthew 5:7

Prophets, judge impartially. Even as I call you to mercy, recognize that your life is not your own. David fell when he failed to judge his own sin (2 Samuel 12:10). David’s sin entered into Amnon, and he failed to judge Amnon’s wicked treatment of Tamar (2 Samuel 13). Be warned: There is no partiality with God (Romans 2:11). Do not let the sin of one of your members devour your entire organization! By failing to reconcile, failing to respond, and failing to administer consequences, you provide the conditions for sins to repeat and spread (1 Corinthians 5:1-13). I know that you love one another and that administering consequences may grieve you. But in increased responsibility, I have called you to be like David mourning Abner, embodying justice without partiality (2 Samuel 3:31-39). Even in tears, I may call you to judge sin (Matthew 10:35). Rely on my wisdom, and I will show you the right process (Matthew 18:15-35). Grieve with me,  I do not want anyone to suffer harm or loss either. But rely on me, and follow the directions I show you. You are not your own. I am the God of Impartiality, who judges justly. Ask me for the grace to follow my justice, even in tears.

Instructions for the Prophets: Prepare to Dress in White

Prophets, this is the season to contend to wear white (Revelation 3:5). Put your house in order so that as you judge others, you will not be disqualified (1 Corinthians 9:27). I am coming back for a spotless Bridge, so settle your accounts (Luke 16:5-8). Forgive the debts of those who have sinned against you so that you will be forgiven an even greater portion. Make wrong things right if you have defrauded anyone, and restore back anything you have stolen (Matthew 5:21-26). I have prepared a season of Holy Spirit set ups to expose who is innocent and who is guilty. This will not necessarily depend on actions that have already passed, but on the level of each person’s genuine repentance (Psalm 51:27). Be careful not to judge one another; I, the Lord know the Heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent (Revelation 3:19).

Wear white as a sign and an aspiration; aspire towards the blamelessness of Christ! Pray for fear of the Lord to humbly admit areas where you still have not arrived. Pray for the blood of Jesus to expose whatever work still needs done in you. Ask me for the grace to finish the healing and restoration process, so that you will be truly blameless.

You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’c and ‘Anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’e will be subject to the Sanhedrin.f But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the fire of hell.g

23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

25 Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 5:21-26

1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

2 Blessed is the man

whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him,

in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Psalm 32:1-2 (All Psalm 32)

For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.

1 Corinthians 11:29

Sowing Revelation 11 Prophetic Authority

I am using this season to sow the Revelation 11 Prophetic authority that you and your descendents will bear. 

Be unflinching as you speak, and be unafraid of persecution. Do not be afraid of loss of reputation. Remember that in an abstract and literal sense, I have the power to bring my prophets back to life (Revelation 11:11). Do not let anyone convince you that compromise will be safer than embodying the full weight of your authority. Satan tempted Jesus with partial authority, and he endured even through death so I could raise him to authority (Matthew 4, Philippians 2:9). Watch me back you with signs and wonders, even if that means resurrection. 

This is the Revelation 11 anointing that causes earthquakes, because the earth is trembling under the fear of the Lord (Revelation 11:13). 

This is the level of authority required to shake the witchcraft out of places in the world that have been unyielding, where missionaries and other workers without exception are cursed with health issues and are forced to leave.

Use this “Season of Increasing Weight” as preparation for the courage and authority you will need to command nature and consequences. Do not worry, I will continue giving you instructions throughout this season until you reach the maturity and stature to bear that anointing. Lean into the process and pull on my weight. Let me guide you into the next level of authority and you will be unshaken.

In the next few weeks, I’m going to increasingly focus on sharing prophecies instead of prophetic teaching. This prophetic word was written in collaboration with my friends Chris Henstone, Tania Angel, Sue Ormerod, Beverley Williams, and Terri Russell.

The Spirit of the Lord says, “South Korea, I call you persevering and trustworthy. However, so that you can model purity in the national Church, national Church, the Fashion Industry, and the national Military, I am coming to dismantle your pride.”

CHURCH LEADERS: Firstly to the Christian leaders in Seoul and to the leaders in the capital cities of provinces, I am calling you into immediate private repentance for lust for power through platform, financial control, and competition with your neighbors. In the place of pride, I am coming to renew your childlike humility and consecration (Matthew 18:1-5). As part of this process, you will have fresh eyes to discern and dismantle unhealthy power dynamics, false humility, stale traditionalism, and mechanical  structures that do not serve my Kingdom (Revelation 3:18).  Beware of the temptation to paralysis, apathy, hopelessness, and fear of change! The outworking of your private repentance will be public repentance (James 4:10). While this process may initially seem daunting, I have not come to bring you death but life. I will not abandon you; don’t fear public disgrace! I will sow new life and hope through your confession. Repentance will carry ease without condemnation because it is from me and not of this world (Philippians 3:20).  As you speak freely; multiplied freedom, life, supernatural harvest will follow and reform the church and society.  

ALL CHURCH: National South Korean Church, I call you my sharp, precise snipper intercessors. I have given the Korean Church the key fervent intercession. You are like a targeted snipper you hit and don’t miss! I am calling you collectively out of staleness and into daily consecration (Romans 12:1). While your previous prayer intercessory movements have given you a reputation for being awake, you have given yourselves over to slumber! I  have come to wake you up! My grace is coming to you as increased awareness of your declarations, the inconsistency of your travail, a sense of purposelessness, and hunger for innocence. I have not awakened you to antagonize your longing, but I am making you hungry and thirsty so that you will seek me and be satisfied (Matthew 5:6). As you meet me on an individual level, I will purify and consecrate your words so that I can raise up increasingly pure-hearted Nabi prophets within your nation (Matthew 5:8). I was not able to do this before because you have recognized the power of your words and have in specific moments partnered with self-cursing.

As a reward for greater consecration, I will pour out various gifts. Out of the intercessory renewal movement, I will equip your saints for warfare, similar to the work of Lou Engle. Out of increased consecration and hunger, I will equip your body for increased bible teaching anointing, similar to the work of Watchman Nee. Just as perseverance and intimacy with me catalyzed the ministry of these men, so it will be for you. Out of intimacy, your private worship will allow your nation to be in pace with the communal worship movement I send over Asia and globally in the next 10 years. I am also calling for my international body to provide back up and come to the aid of the South Korean intercessors as the nation is shifted. You will see that I will organically align you to keep pace with the Churches of your neighbors. It will come through unity in me and not striving. Finally, I will send a grassroots house church movement led by students (18-25s). As students are led by humility and hunger into leadership, they will model humility in community to the Church. Their friendship carries the breaker anointing for healing imitation and collaboration in your nation (1 Corinthians 11:1). From a place of healthier community relationships, I will be able to send more accuracy in prophesy and words of knowledge, as well as more powerful examples of social service. Across your country, you will see the firstfruits of this movement within 3 years, but expect to see the fullness of it within a decade.

CHURCH IN SOCIETY: I am calling you to be Church outside the traditional church. Your cultural identity is about understanding who I am. Within the next 3 years, watch as I raise up consecrated Christian leaders within the Fashion and Textiles industry to carry this consecration into the marketplace! This will take place in the 3 Southernmost Provinces (Jeollabuk, Jeollanam, and Gyeongsangnam). I have not called you to copy the perverse sexualized styles of Japan (Ezekiel 16:51-52), but out of your insecurity, pride, and lack of identity, you intended to outdo them! If you allow me to restore and renovate your sense of personal and national identity, I will favor you to lead in purity (Matthew 5:14) within East Asian and Southeast Asian fashion. I will raise fashion designers who create designs that carry traditional themes but with new forms and shapes. Based on their significance to your nation’s past, red (deliverance) and white (purity) colors will characterize this move. I will greet Koreans as the pure “People in White”(Ephesians 5:27, Galatians 5:1), and you will wear mantles of deliverance (Isaiah 1:18). Do not be afraid to stand out, and do not cling to stale forms of national tradition. As the Church models true humility, you will experience this humility as a force that purifies and simplifies the hierarchical nature of your country’s fashion employment structure. You will no longer compete in a parallel (peers) or vertical fashion (subordinates, employers), but you will collaborate to share and complexify similar forms. Instead of imitation, you will robustly create together!

As unrelated as it may seem, purity and collaboration in relationships within the fashion industry will influence the structure of the Korean National Military. From a renewed and embodied sense of Korean national identity, I will dismantle pride that feeds the unnecessary, obstructionist bureaucracy in the Korean military. Through these fashions, I will teach you that in my Kingdom, purity of heart and simplicity lead to greater authority.”

“Nation who loves righteousness, watch as I renew your youth and rescue you from the jaws of despair! I have relished your vigor, your athleticism and your zealous pursuit of my heart. My German Bride, you have been unwilling to compromise. You have maintained my righteous standards even when others have mocked you. Your willingness to sacrifice for my sake has given you a reputation in Heaven as “Those who overcome”. 

Today, I am coming to remove layers of shame from your past so I can restore your right shape. I am coming to remove generational sin from witchcraft that has capped your influence within Europe. I am coming to put salve on wounds from a tradition that has kept you from receiving full freedom in your emotions. At the national and individual level, instead of defending your own “High Walled Kingdom”, you will use your vigor to welcome others in.

In a time of shaking in the early 20th century,  I humbled all the world’s powers through two world wars. I invited the nations to know me as their safe stronghold, releasing a new vision for the Kingdom of God. Those days were full of shaking. Germany, I longed to take you under my wings of protection and be your provider. 

Yet many of the nations were afraid to draw close to me. They were afraid to know me as Father, and they did not trust that I would shelter them. In fear of abandonment, these nations became afraid. In fear of scarcity, they resorted to robbing their most vulnerable, ethnic-minority citizens. When they felt exposed and vulnerable, their fear made others vulnerable too, removing every human hedge of protection. 

Today Germany, I tell you that during those days, the enemy sent a witchcraft strategy to undermine the move of God I wanted to send among immigrants and ethnic minorities. He convinced you to trust in your own strength rather than expand the Kingdom of God. Through nationalism and economic deprivation, he fomented your fear and suspicion of the foreigner.

In the crushing weight of fear and rejection, you felt paralyzed. Soon, your vulnerable citizens felt a deeper, demonic paralysis. The violence stirred up against them felt like inevitable drowning. Some people felt their bodies autonomously walking off a pier, and into dark waters. Others sat frozen in place as the water rose over their necks, unable to move. They were unsure why they let themselves die. Or why onlookers did nothing.

At a time when society at large rejected me, I raised Christians who were committed to being a refuge for diverse, vulnerable people. They risked their lives in order to model the Kingdom of God that knows no ethnic or national borders. When they could not speak, they became like mountains, silently hiding people in the cleft of the rock. 

Germany, you face another day of national shaking, but this time you will stand! On this day of shaking, you will build on the foundation of those heroes of faith who knew me as the God of All Safety. Already,  I have raised up leaders in your nation who have poured out their lives in exchange for intimacy with me, who dwell under the protection of my wings. German Christian leaders, the Great Cloud of Witnesses who risked their lives to shelter the vulnerable during WW2 are proud of you. You will build on their legacy of fearsome love for the vulnerable. Already, I am expanding the grace I gave them to know me as a refuge. In response to your love of intimacy with me, today I am giving you a double portion of protection. In this time of shaking, you will find shelter not just for ethnic minorities, but for ethnic Germans who have yet to know me as Refuge. I will cause you to dwell together in the security of my mountain. Even as the other nations feel tempted to fear, you will be unafraid. You will become immovable as you worship me, safely hidden together in solidarity in the cleft of the rock. When others feel afraid due to economic or social conditions, they will look to you and find strength.

German Christian leaders, I am giving you the grace to publicly model what trusting me for your provision looks like. I am giving you the grace to dismantle the “High Walled Kingdom” and usher in the Kingdom of God, with room for the ethnic minority, the vulnerable, and the refugee! I have set the stage to redeem your past partnerships with witchcraft, and you will glorify me by how you support one another. You will be a light for Europe to demonstrate what radical acceptance of the vulnerable looks like. 

I am releasing hospitality evangelism to your leaders that will cause the nations to know that I am God Your Refuge. I am releasing building plans for churches and prayer groups, to receive new immigrants and pursue partnership with current immigrants. As you share the generosity of God the Father with individuals ensnared by scarcity, I will resource you in a time of shaking. Through these organizations, I will release personal prophetic words to the starving and they will release they need not just bread, but the Bread of Life. Entire families will know me as the Living God, pursuing and clinging to the words of my servant Jesus. I will remove your shame and fear of speaking by giving you words so full of life that as they pass through your mouth, they will energize and restore your deep, hidden places. As you speak these words of life, German Christians, your nation will become a Living Womb. Within Europe, your kindness will cause many to inherit a victor’s crown, and you will be known as a Mothering nation.

Arch of Redemption in Verses

Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin; anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster.

Proverbs 17:19

What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field, until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land.

Isaiah 5:8

My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

John 14:2

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans.

Psalm 118:8

But I will sing of your strength,

in the morning I will sing of your love;

for you are my fortress,

my refuge in times of trouble.

Proverbs 59:16

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

Psalm 9:9

Declarations:

• Germany, you will use your strength to welcome the foreigner, the immigrant, and the refugee so that these nations will become reflected in the Kingdom of God.
• In this generation, you will build upon the legacy of fearsome love from the Great Cloud of Witnesses who risked their lives to shelter the vulnerable during WW2. You will build on their legacy of fearsome love for the vulnerable.
• Germany, you will be a bridge between Western and Eastern Europe at this hour so that you can sow revival on both sides.
• Germany, your fire starter anointing and wisdom will sow revival in every European Nation, from Iceland to Turkey. Your passion for righteousness, purity, and innovation will shadow them in holy possibility and hunger.
• Germany, you will pioneer a prophetic strategy to honor Romania.
• Germany, your efforts will have the effect of redeeming the Czech Republic from it’s exclusion within Eastern and Western European culture and economic gains.
• Germany, you will demonstrate to Europe Turkey’s wisdom for education and business.
• Germany, your fearsome love of the vulnerable and courageous flexibility will break off the sleepiness of the UK. She will know you as a nation that is flexible and who leaps to play many roles. You will show the people of the United Kingdom how to apply their sensitivity and love of community in new ways. You will show them how to leap outside of fences that the enemy has placed around them, to limit their creativity as they respond to the vulnerable. God will redeem your response-to-refugees story in a time of shaking so that Christian leaders in the UK will cast a new vision for how I am calling them to redeem their society from Empire. As you pursue ethnically-inclusive innovation, you will show UK leaders from many sectors not just how to honor non-ethnically British citizens, but learn from their cultures.
• Germany, God will send grace for confession upon your nation as a result of your willingness to serve vulnerable ethnic minorities. In public places, Germans confess to one another areas where they still feel weak. Germany, God is coming to renovate your understanding of strengths and weaknesses, and you will delight in making him your strength. God is coming to dismantle any remaining prejudice or stubbornness in you, based on fear of rejection.
• Through your love for confession, God will send Mass deliverance for inner healing, that will overflow into physical healing for health conditions that originated in anxiety and control. As you find healing by putting your trust in God, you will see noticeable decreases in national rates of hypertension, depression, arthritis, and more.
• Germany, your humility and courageous vulnerability will be a light to Scandinavia. They will watch as you shed generational heaviness, come out of rejection, and run in freedom. As you unashamedly pursue intimacy with God, your passion will call Scandinavia into holy jealousy. Scandinavians will marvel at your purity and light. You will embrace Scandinavia, bearing patiently with them to maturity and your gentleness will draw many to repentance. You will share with them the gifts you have received from God and teach them about their inheritance.

In the next few weeks, I’m going to increasingly focus on sharing prophecies instead of prophetic teaching. The majority of the material I hope to share is related to Watchman prophesy that was received through dreams and daytime seeing in the Spirit.

Several nights ago in a dream, the Spirit showed me two parables of rewards and consequences for individuals and organizations who value or devalue partnerships based on diversity.

The First Parable

In the first parable, I saw there were various land animals living under the water. Already in unlikely circumstances, I saw a snake, a beaver, and a third land animal. Each was breastfeeding on an aquatic mammal. I was shocked to see the animals relate as siblings and family. This parable represented the might power of God that allows unlikely people to not just co-exist but thrive as family.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Matthew 5:9

I hear the Spirit of the Lord say,

“I am coming to reward those of you who have sought partnership with wildly different people. I am coming to reward both the individual and the organization. I have come to reward the organization that builds relationally with nations and groups who have wildly different orientations and callings.

While the World has tempted you to build small, creating alliances only with those who could most directly benefit you, I have called you to build my everlasting Kingdom. You have put on the necessary meekness to have your natures transformed into the character of Christ. You have endured, you have forgiven, you have remained in love with me as your source.

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.

Colossians 3:12

Because you have not loved comfort but have endured to build lasting friendships, the bridges you build will host the weight of my glory.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 7:13-14

I will honor you, for you have known me as the God who builds with Iron, and the God who does not build on sand.

The peace that I extend to your relationships and alliances will shock the world through their weighty solidarity in diversity. Instead of clay and iron that pull apart in testing, you partnerships will hold together in spite of the increasing shaking I am sending on the earth in the next decade.

You will show the world that in my Kingdom,

The wolf will live with the lamb,
    the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling^[a] together;
    and a little child will lead them.
⁷ The cow will feed with the bear,
    their young will lie down together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
⁸ The infant will play near the cobra’s den,
    and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
⁹ They will neither harm nor destroy
    on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.“

Isaiah 11:6-9

The Second Parable

In the second part of the dream, I saw two predatory animals fighting over a crab. In the tug of war they waged, they laid bare the crab’s blue flesh under his shell so it was like one bright blue, pre-peeled bite. Pulling him back and forth my the claws, they lost grip and flung him directly in front of a giant grouper. This grouper had been lurking near the scene of the shockingly peaceful land animal-aquatic animal family. He had been waiting for an opportunity for less careful animals to forfeit their reward. The dream ended with the foreshadowing that he was about to consume the crab in one vicious bite. The moral of this parable was, “Resolve your issues amicably or you will lose your reward.”

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying,

“Over the next several months, I am lifting my favor from organizations and people who have become more like wolves than like my Lamb.

You have been so focused on your selfish reward that you have not bothered to learn surrender. You have absorbed a self-centered capitalist mindset and undervalued the generosity of my grace! You have not mourned your own poverty of Spirit, because you have not noticed it.

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

Revelation 3:17

I have longed to restore you to right relationship with me and others, but you were unwilling.

You have valued your own strength and not realized that every good thing you have, I have given you.

 “‘But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by and your beauty became his. ¹⁶ You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places, where you carried on your prostitution. You went to him, and he possessed your beauty.^[b]17 You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them. ¹⁸ And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense before them. ¹⁹ Also the food I provided for you—the flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat—you offered as fragrant incense before them. That is what happened, declares the Sovereign Lord.

Ezekiel 16:15-19

In your desire for conquest and control, you have alienated other predators who have yet to understand my mercy. You have alienated the vulnerable and left them exposed instead of doing the work of my Kingdom. In flesh and offense, you have made the Kingdom far from those who are in great need of it. Your structures are build on the sand of your own performance and human striving. What can I do but allow your self-produced structures to disintegrate? The day of shaking has come, and what you have build will not last in it.

Anyone who builds on that foundation may use a variety of materials—gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. 13But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done.  But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value.

1 Corinthians 3:13

You will experience what it means to be vulnerable so that you can learn compassion. I have not set my face against you, but I must remove the ways you falsely self-identify so that you can build your house on me.

I also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did what was evil in my eyes and chose that in which I did not delight.”

Isaiah 66:4

I will restore you but first you must learn the gentleness necessary to become healthy stewards of my flock. Church, renew your vows and remember your identity!

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Matthew 5:14

Root out the envy, division, and bitter roots of the flesh that are still in you.

You are still not ready, 3for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? 4For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?

1 Corinthians 2:3-4

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; 20idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-20

If you receive my correction, I will show you a better way.

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

Lay down your striving for influence, for power, control, money, or dominance. Lay down your false identity and false self-definitions. I have come to give my Kingdom to the weak, and I make a place for the vulnerable.

“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Matthew 5:3

Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5

Learn meekness and repent of your former works so that when the day of testing comes, you can stand.”

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Ephesians 6:13

Prayer

Lord, give us all eyes and ears to receive your invitation to meekness.

May Heaven speak well of our willingness to love and serve one another in diversity.

May we serve one another as unto the Lord, and glorify Jesus.

In the coming months and years, may we experience the weight of your glory because we have build on the right foundation.

Do not just give us strategy, but pour out your grace for character change and development.

We know that just as we were saved by grace in the beginning, none of these things are possible without your explicit help.

We choose to rely on your instead of our own strength. In the next few weeks and months, reveal to us any ways that we have grieved your Holy Spirit by clinging to offense, rejecting others’ differences, or feeding other roots of bitterness. In your gentleness, gut us to restore us.

Instead of focusing on self, Make us worshippers.

I will sing a new song to you, my God;
    on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
¹⁰ to the One who gives victory to kings,
    who delivers his servant David.

Psalm 144:9-10

Do a finished work in us so that we would shock the world by your beautiful solidarity in us. Make us like well-crafted furniture carved to adorn the King’s palace.

Then our sons in their youth
    will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
    carved to adorn a palace.
¹³ Our barns will be filled
    with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
    by tens of thousands in our fields;
¹⁴     our oxen will draw heavy loads.^[a]
There will be no breaching of walls,
    no going into captivity,
    no cry of distress in our streets.
¹⁵ Blessed is the people of whom this is true;
    blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.

Psalm 144:12-15
