August is a time of new beginnings

bigstock-Path-6828305We have gone through a major transition over the past few months. On July 1st something changed radically in the spiritual realm. God is opening new opportunities at levels we have never seen before. Don’t be surprised though, if you see resistance or you feel discouraged in the process. It is time to break through!

Angels of breakthrough

I was in Woodland Park, Colorado at Prayer Mountain in July of this year and I had several dramatic angelic encounters. On July 20th an angel of breakthrough came into the meeting. The presence of God was quite thick and there were times that many of us could not get off the floor.

I have never encountered an angel like this. God spoke to me that there are angels of breakthrough now being dispersed around the globe.

That very weekend, I needed a breakthrough myself as my wife and I have been trying to find a place to live in Los Angeles. We sold our house and had to move by the end of the month but after four tiring trips to L.A., we could not find anything.

My Daily Prophetic word for July 21st read: “Be ready to make changes or adjustments to your plans. Flexibility will yield a great reward.”

So I took a step of faith and changed my plane ticket to fly from Colorado into LAX and met my wife. On the next day we found a place to live in Santa Monica. God is opening new opportunities for us in Los Angeles involving a new reality TV show.  Watch for your breakthrough.

Major attacks of the enemy

I don’t usually talk much about the attacks of the enemy because I like to focus more on what God is doing. But it has been a pretty intense time for many people!

There has been a great deal of attacks against people’s minds. Several HUGE demonic attacks against people right now are panic attacks, anxiety, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts. As God releases new things to us there is often resistance from the enemy–similar to Daniel chapter 10–where Michael the archangel was detained twenty-one days before he could get to Daniel.

Jesus and the Door to the Past

I often live out the prophetic words that God gives me. When it is happening to me, it is similar to a life parable. As a result, these have been the most difficult months I have had in a very long time. The experience I am about to share with you is not just for me but also applies to many others.

On Friday, August 2nd at 5 pm, I had a spiritual experience as the Lord came into my house. He told me that five years and five months ago Satan asked to execute my ministry. And the time has come for total repayment of your five years of unjust attacks and losses.

I looked at my journal. Sure enough, it was five years and five months ago in 2008 when I received a very accurate prophetic word. A prophet from South Africa called me out from the crowd by name, and told me that Satan has taken me into the Courtroom of Heaven and asked permission to execute my ministry. For the past five years we have suffered a lot of losses and rejection.

But in this spiritual experience, Jesus reached out and touched my heart and something lifted off me. I felt pain leave.

Door to the Past

In the encounter, I saw a huge door and written on it was “The Past.” I watched as the Lord placed a seal over the Door to the Past and stood in front of it. He said to me, “The Door to the past is being shut and will never be reopened.”

This is for all of us! God is repaying us for losses and things that were taken since 2008 … and He is closing the door to the past. God is making all things new!

That experience happened the day our house sale was finalized. Our realtor contacted us the next day and said that our house broke the record for the highest sale for a house our size since 2008! God confirmed this word about repayment right away.

Philippians 3:13–14 (NLT)

No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.

Watch for your breakthrough and battle through any discouragement right now. Keep at it! I am pulling for you!

Blessings

    Thank You Doug. Your word is very encouraging.

    So much to be thankful for but at the same time so weary from all the ongoing issues, physicial issue, battles with my job, with our church battling with a city to let us in and occupy our building.

    The resistence just seems at times so overwhelming and difficult to find hope through the discouragment. I know that God fights our battles, we have the victory we just have to listen for discernment, be prayful in all things, continually giving Praise, and know that God has our best interest in mind.

    Thank you Doug for your faithfulness to follow The Lord and be His mouth piece to encourage and equip people and I too have gone through major loss and attack and stand in agreement with this and if you would also pray for me and my heart to experience the healing and freedom from pain and hope deferred and be strengthened to “pursue overtake and recover all that has been lost and stolen” I would super appreciate if and see the word ABUNDANCE for you and hear that old song “You ain’t seen nothin yet” with baby being replaced by Doug and “You ain’t seen nothin yet…d d d d Doug you just ain’t seen nothin yet”!

    Thank you Doug for being willing to live out the word. That’s the side and the cost of prophetic ministry many don’t see. We can’t release a word until we have embraced it. This is so on my page again. Over the past several years God has equipped us with tools to go back into the past and deal with the hurts of history. It has been an amazing journey into freedom, but carries with it the danger of being too retrospective. We need to stay fresh and open. In recent weeks, the Lord has been speaking to me and my husband out of Isaiah – forget the former things, do not dwell on the past, behold the new thing, watch it rise up. Thank you for the confirmation. Praying blessing and continued breakthroughs for you and Linda in the new season.

    As I believed the prophecy that April 22 was a day of significance, I received the word ”
    Blind Bartimaeus receives his Sight” when praying. However, up to this point I don’t feel I receive my sight yet, and I don’t really think I have the capacity to catch up what the prophecy says about August. Help!

    Thank yu Doug for the ministry the Lord has entrusted to yu. Quite a blessing! I am totally in agreement tha August is the month of new beginnings…The Lord opening doors that no one can close and closing doors which no one can open. I gave birth in the spirit on Aug 17th while at Voice of The Apostles in Fla. An amazing experience and I am looking forward to see what God has on the horizon….very excited! Total and complete debt cancellation is here, on the horizon among amazing spiritual things!

    I so receive this! I looked at my journal from 2008 and on Feb 9th the Lord told me to be alert and that I would be tested on every level. To expect it to increase as the enemy wanted to stop my future, but the Lord would empower me to move forward with lightening speed. He then gave me wisdom in how to do so. It has been a hard season, but a delightful one as well as I have grown in the Lord and learned of His grace. Yes to the door closed to the past and breakthrough into what God has for me and His children. Bless you Doug! You are such an encouragement to me!

    Thanks so much for this word Doug. It’s a real comfort. I’d also been coming to an understanding of what has been happening around me since 2008. Pretty much you name it, I’ve been through it. It’s been a horrible time. Knowing my experiences, a friend sent me a link to your word on the Elijah list and it is another confirmation! Blown away! =) Now looking forward to a change. Also took me a long time to find evidence of other people who often live out the prophetic words they are given. Would love to know more about how this works and if it’s possible to be intentional about it. Thanks.

    That word is like a fresh breeze. Am so glad to have heard it. By faith I am drawing it into my own life. I too have known 5 years of difficulty. It came along with promotion. But yesterday is behind us and I can see Jesus in front of the locked door of my past. I am looking and moving forward.
    Am in a season where I have to take every thought captive and guard discouragement. God is definitely building some spiritual muscle in His people. He is good and I am thankful that He desires to grow me through this season.
    Blessing and favour be on your life. Thank you for what you shared

    Doug:

    Thank you for the word about August being a time of new beginnings. I truly believe that. The last two and a half years have been the most difficult time of my entire life. I really didn’t know if I would get through it in one piece. But I trusted the Lord despite how bad I felt. He brought me through that terrible season with victory! And now, here we are in August 20th, and during the meeting at church tonight, the Lord prophetically confirmed (thru people who don’t even know me) that this is a time of new beginnings. The Lord is beginning to fulfill dreams, visions, prophecies and things I thought were lost in time. And a blessing was sung over me by someone from another land, in that language. It happened to be a place the Lord said I would visit and see revival in. He said that to me over 20 years ago. Wow! God is so good. I am looking forward to the new season and to the coming revival especially here in So. California.

    Thank you for delivering this word. I have been under the worst attack of my life since April of 2006. This came on the heels of being used by God in a pretty startling way for the 8 years previous. I receive this and believe that I too will share in this new beginning!
    Blessings on your new home and new ventures. May God use you in a mighty way!

    Hi Doug, this word of encouragement is much needed and greatly appreciated. In July, I decided to fast 7/29, 7/30, & 7/31, as I declared new beginnings for my life and for those I love. As you know, the number 8 means new birth, new beginnings, and I believe with my whole heart that God is doing a new, good thing in the lives of those who are seeking Him diligently–right now. I’m excited about what He has shown and told you, many prophets, teachers, pastors and even me, a simple unknown servant. God is good and His promises shall come to pass. Thank you again and God bless you abundantly in Jesus’ Name.

    This word is timely! God is positioning my family for change which required a huge spirit led faith step for my husband and I. Boy, the battle against panic and anxiety attacks have been intense! When it tries to attach itself to me, I just begin praising The Lord out loud for what He’s doing and speaking His word, and the feelings leave. God even gave me a vivid dream and the interpretation!!

    I was on a street looking up on a hill where a Best Western hotel was on fire, but not being consumed. All of a sudden it was like an invisible knife sliced a rock off the side of the hill. There was fire on top of the rock and it began sliding down at a rapid pace. It then stopped right next to me on the street, blocking a car that was headed for me. I felt no sense of fear or danger. God showed me the hotel stood for transition and the fire is His power. The rock on fire sliding down was God’s power bringing the transition to a rapid conclusion. The car that was blocked was God stopping any attack (known or unknown) that would try and stop this from happening!! I am so excited to see this come to pass this month! Breakthrough is at hand!! Thank you for your ministry!!

    Blessing,
    Debbie

    Gracias Doug, por tus palabras, me pasa lo mismo vengo desde el 2008 tratando de levantar el ministerio, no ha sido facil, algunos de mis errores y otras cosas que no tienen que ver con mis fallas han hecho que la congregación se haya disminuido, hoy solo cuento con 6 personas; estamos comenzando de nuevo, es por eso que le solicitud el gran favor que me lleve en sus oraciones; gracias Profeta por su tiempo.

    I do believe this word is accurate and timely. Just a few days ago I took a trip outside of the US. I had the opportunity to stay at the two homes where I had previously lived. While in prayer the Lord moved me to close the door to the past in these two locations, to let go of the hurt, pain and injustice and to declare my healing, restoration and redemption.

    Doug- you are always encouraging with your words, the insight God gives you is simply a great blessing. March of ’08 I had been married for 3 yrs, and in May of ’08 we (my wife and I) agreed for me to take a pay cut for me to pursue my LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker). After failing the exam twice I passed it the 3rd time (that is 333 for me); March (3rd month) 3 yrs married and passed the exam the 3rd. Now here we are in 2013 and I’m able to receive more than I lost in taking the pay cut. God has positioned and promoted me to receive more. Your word is timely, so is Jer. 33:3. Finally May to Aug is 3 months. So the 5/5 for you is 5/3 for me, but in that 2 month period in ’08 my wife and I had time to pray and listen to God for the change. Change, change, change…(#dailyprophetic 8/13/13)

    Thank so very much, your posts are so encouraging. My husband and I both lost our splices in 2008, due to their illnesses we both lost our churches, income, homes cars and everything we had for the past 36 years each of marriages. We are both ministers, husband is from Australia and I am from California. We need a new start in ministry and very weary if it will happen again for us. Pressing on God’s kingdom daily. Please hold us up in prayer. We know He is the provider of all.

    I receive this prophetic word. Over the past couple of months I have sensed and believed that the Lord was leading me to move back east. I have had dreams, received prophetic words, and been led to sow seed for a harvest that I believe is for moving to where I’m supposed to be. The enemy has been fighting me like crazy trying to stop or delay my move. Requesting prayer for a breakthrough. 🙂

    Thank you for your encouraging prophetic words. My son committed suicide in 2008 because he had a mental illness. It was the second child I lost. Currently, am recovering from surgery and need a season of blessings in my life and my family. It has been very hard because my dad also passed away in 2008.

    I have been having a very hard time since December 2010 I made a commitment to stay home at home school my son. The school system are so bad my adult children who still lives with me are having a very rough time so I decided to stay home and help with love, comfort and, guidance with my family. I seen the negativities that going around I am so aware of it negativity so I decided to stay home to be with my family. When I work I am always into my work so by staying home I would provide my family the attention that they needed. By doing all of this our financial life has really been challenge everything seem to cost soooo much it unbelievable. It is my dream to redo our Kitchen and repair our roof and add a 3rd bathroom onto our home. I can see myself during this I can see it happen I am hoping for the funding to complete this project. In the pass I would have been able to ask God for this funding and I would have gotten already here lately I ask nothing happens this really sadden me. I am a worshipper of God of heaven who has a son name Jesus. I believe the Lord will provide me the funding for this project as He has always done in the pass and I too will rejoice of how God bless me through this need.

    In your Aug. Webcast you said you had a dream of a Lori “crown of Glory”, she had breast cancer but you were speaking Prophetically that she is a “Nurisher” … Well I do Not have the breast cancer but 3.5 weeks ago I had a dream and God said “Nuriture them” as I asked what holding all these people to my chest meant!

    I receive this and welcome it! Please pray for my healing in my heart. It has been so rough! I have barely made it through hanging on by a thread! A thread! The pain has been so unbareable at times. I look forward to the new. I want to forget the past seriously I do! So I am going to clean my house literally because sometimes that’s the only way to refocus my mind. I want a hug from Daddy God. 🙁
