The world system has programmed the Church to be doubleminded. Doublemindedness has affected the potency of our prayers, contaminated our theology, and diluted the power and presence of God in our midst. It is time to declare war on doublemindedness and to possess minds that are singularly focused on Christ, His Word, and His Kingdom.
The Lakes share a prophetic word that God gave Mary in 2011 about nine judgments coming to America. These judgments will prepare the way for revival and stop the horrible things leaders do in darkness. We are now entering the days when these judgments will begin to be poured out.
It is time for the people of God to walk out of spiritual Egypt/Babylon and become covenant people. For most of us, this transformation occurs one step at a time. Each step takes us further from Babylon and closer to moving into God’s Kingdom. We must become our own gate keepers, rather than allowing to world’s system to control us. We need to become the elders in the gate in our homes and communities of faith.
There is a Kingdom connection between walking in the peace of God and moving in Kingdom Authority. The peace of God becomes that launching pad to release the authority of God in every situation.
We are in an overlapping of prophetic seasons: Purim and Pentecost. Therefore, we are tarrying for Heaven to restore justice in our lives and nations. Tarrying does not mean we are just waiting for God to do something. Tarrying is intertwining ourselves in God and His Word. As pressure mounts in the world, our holy task is to create counterpressure of the Kingdom of God within us.
We are in the days of the counting of the Omer. On the first day of Pentecost, the Torah (i.e., the Word of God and God’s instruction) was given to God’s people. On the day of Pentecost, after the resurrection of the Messiah, the fire of God was given to empower God’s people to live the Word from their hearts. We are on a countdown to a new fire and refreshing of God being established in the lives of the Remnant.
Both the story of Passover and when Joshua was preparing to take Jericho teaches the modern Church an important lesson regarding the covenant. When we take our covenant seriously, heaven moves, and hell trembles. In the current prophetic season, heaven is calling us to a new level of fidelity regarding the covenant we have with our King.
The parable of the prodigal son is one of the most powerful stories about redemption that Jesus ever taught. This parable can be examined from many angles: the prodigal son, the father, and the elder brother. There are more dynamics involved with the elder brother than most realize. We are in a season of God bringing the prodigal children home. We must examine our hearts to ensure we are ready for their return.
Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to walk in love. Yet, that is precisely what the Bible teaches us to do. Walking in love is an often-overlooked aspect of spiritual warfare. But the love walk is necessary to keep our doors closed to the enemy and to walk in victory.
We learn from the story of Purim that God can move powerfully, even in the midst of impossible situations. During this season, the Remnant must position themselves for Heaven to move!
