Decrees are Falling from Heaven
Doug Addison
July 21, 2009

Last April I was talking on the telephone with Bob Jones who told me that he was in Heaven and saw that books were being reconciled regarding people’s destinies. A short while later I was talking with Larry Randolph who said that he saw the court of Heaven in session and there are things about our future that have not been determined as of yet. This explains why so many people feel frustrated and uncertain right now. In my life, I know the direction that God wants me to go, but the specific steps for this new season have not been clarified. We are in a time of transition in which the way we used to do things is not working as effectively as it once did. We are living in a paradox of the old not working and the new having not yet been fully revealed.

Understanding God’s will for our lives is sometimes easier than knowing His timing. The most common way that God reveals His will is through His written word. In 1988 God spoke to me about my life calling through Isaiah 61:1-2, declaring to me that my ultimate destiny was to preach the good news and get people freed from the darkness. Though I began preparing myself immediately, the actual timing of going into full-time ministry did not happen for another ten years.

God will also reveal His destiny to us through prophetic promises, dreams, visions, and spiritual experiences. Many people have these promises but have difficulty understanding the timing and details of the prophetic words. If you have words spoken over your life that you have not seen come to pass, then pray and ask God to show you which promises you should focus on and which ones may be no longer valid based on circumstances. Prophecy can be subjective and it requires listening to God and getting wisdom from others to determine your steps. God will always confirm directive words through several different means so that you will not make a major decision based on one prophetic word.

On Monday, June 29, 2009, while praying I experienced an extraordinary “open heaven” in my house. Suddenly it was if I had a direct connection with God and I knew His heart and what and how to pray. It went on for about 30 minutes then the intensity lifted. During the experience I was reminded of many promises that God has made to me and felt a new strength and authority to speak and command these promises into existence.

A few hours later I had an unexpected visitation. Suddenly a piece of paper literally appeared in mid-air and dropped to the floor and disappeared. It happened so fast that I did not have time to take it all in. It was very real and was a parchment with what appeared to have gold or bronze trim. I was not able to make out any writing on it, as it went as fast as it came. God spoke to me that the paper was a “decree from Heaven” regarding the prayers that I had been praying. He told me that my prayers were heard and He issued orders to carry them out.

Psalms 2:7-8 NIV
I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.”

Decrees from Heaven are now falling upon God’s people to take hold of their inheritance. There has been a balancing of the books in Heaven and those who have been robbed by the enemy are now being repaid. Those who have robbed and oppressed people will get their repayment as well. Where there has been injustice God is bringing justice. The enemy does not want us to see this so our circumstances will look radically opposite. We must press into God right now and claim all that God has for us.

Interestingly, this experience happened on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul which honors the Martyrs of the Church. Martyrdom or the killing of the Saints was a great injustice. The enemy has been attacking and robbing Christians of their destinies. This has been in the areas of finances, health, marriages, relationships, ministries, businesses, and emotions. It is time to say “No more!”

The Year of Jubilee began last September 15th,2008, the day of the largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. We are in the final few months of a spiritual release from Heaven. There has been a shake up in the natural realm that is symbolic of the supernatural. God is issuing bailout orders from Heaven. From now through September 2009, it is a time to press in and reclaim our losses.

We are in a strategic time that is similar to that of David in 1 Samuel 30. David had a prophetic promise to be king and was anointed by Samuel, but his timing had not yet come. King Saul had been trying to kill David and then the enemy came and stole their possessions, families and burned their city to the ground. David was greatly distressed but he encouraged himself in the Lord. They recovered everything and things changed at that point and David went from running to a new place of ruling and authority. Just because God declared that David would be King, it did not happen automatically. David had to get up and go fight for it against all odds. Many people today do not understand this and are sitting back waiting for God to do it for them. It is time to encourage ourselves in the Lord and not pull back. It is time to no longer believe the lies of the enemy but to grab hold of our only reality, which is God’s Word and will for our lives. It is time to pursue! This is truly an exciting time to be alive!

We saw an immediate turn around in our ministry by praying the following daily for a few weeks:
• God reveal what promises are for now and what are for later (timing)
• Show us what the enemy does not want us to see (discernment)
• God, allow us to be seen as You see us, not as the enemy wants us to be seen (favor)
• Repay and release what was stolen and held back by the enemy (justice)
• Show us how to practically respond (wisdom)

Divine Alliances: Prophetic Insight About Marriage, Ministry, and Business Partnerships
Doug Addison

The following is an excerpt from my new book with the same title. The former name of the message was End Times Marriages. This prophetic message is being fulfilled now! Couples are beginning to come together for the purposes of ministry and strategic business partnerships. This is the account of the angelic visitation I had in 1991.

I was at a Friday night service at a church in Vacaville, California in the summer of 1991 when during worship I saw a picture in my mind of a beautiful stream of water flowing through a wooded area. It was so vivid that I knew it had to be a vision from God. Whenever I would close my eyes, even to this day, I can still see the stream of water and feel supernatural peace.

After praying about how to respond to the vision, I felt that God was directing me to go camping and spend some time alone with Him in the woods. I had a strong feeling in my spirit that God wanted to speak to me so I came prepared with my Bible, some study books, my writing notebook, and my guitar so I could worship.

I decided to go tent-camping alone in the great Redwood Forest of Big Sur on the coast of California. Early in the morning on July 6, 1991, I went for a hike in the woods to pray. As I walked and prayed and worshipped God, I came upon the exact stream of water that I had seen in the vision the week before. I was blown away by the experience. Before I could even enjoy the peaceful setting there came a sudden, startling presence of God. It was as if I had walked into a heat wave that felt like a mini electrical storm (it was a cool sunny day). I immediately went to my knees and was breathless as waves of God’s presence washed over me.

I knew that there must be an angel right in front of me. I had never experienced anything like this. Though I did not see anything, I felt the presence of God and knew that the angel was about to speak to me. It was as if I could hear the angel’s voice speak directly to my spirit (it’s hard to describe unless you have experienced it). I began to say out loud the words that the angel was speaking to me. The words came so rapidly and spontaneously that it was obvious that I was not making it up myself. My entire body pulsated with God’s love and presence.

The angel told me about my mother’s upcoming death and instructed me to tell my stepfather to stay in church because he will remarry a godly woman. I was also told not to tell anyone about my experience until I had seen these things happen. The strange part about this prophetic word was that my Christian mother was alive and well and my stepfather was not a Christian and did not go to church at the time. I knew that in the future when I saw these three events occur, it would signify that the rest of the message I received would transpire.

After the experience I first ran to a pay phone and called my mother to see if she was all right. I did not mention the encounter I had just had, but I did pray with her. I went back to my campsite and over the next 24 hours I continued to receive visions and deeper insight into various verses of the Bible. God began to direct me to 1 Corinthians 7:29–30 regarding marriage and some future events that were going to happen.

I also received over a dozen words of knowledge that I took back to my church for our Sunday night service. All of the words of knowledge were accurate and several people were healed, including one person who was healed of partial deafness. This confirmed to me that the entire experience was from God and not Satan masquerading “as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14).

I did some further study and research, but for the most part I felt that the revelation I received was too much for me to comprehend at that point in my life. I felt God tell me to file it away and not talk to anyone about it until He told me to. I have to admit that it was frustrating for me not to talk about such a powerful experience. Other people I knew were allowed to write books about their supernatural encounters but I knew that it was not God’s timing for it yet.

That was 1991. As it turned out, my mom became terminally ill a few years later. My stepfather gave his life to Jesus Christ in the process and he began going to church. After my mother’s death in 1999, I was able to share with my stepfather the message about staying in church and that he would remarry. Five years later I was the best man in his marriage to a very godly widow from his church. In 2004 I watched his bride come down the aisle and God spoke to me that it was now time to pull out the message from 1991, because He was about to do something radically new in the area of marriages, relationships, ministries, and business partnerships. He was going to realign things and bring about strategic alliances.

Radical New Changes Coming in the Fall
Prophetic word by Doug Addison

God spoke to me on Rosh Hashanah
Many of my prophetic friends receive revelation on the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year. I have not really gotten anything significant on this day until last year. On September 30, 2008, while living in Moravian Falls, North Carolina I went to bed and before going to sleep God began to speak to me about a new seven year cycle that began at Rosh Hashanah 2008.

Later I began to research this and was amazed at the amount of information on it. I found that this is the year of Jubilee in which all things become new. The year of Jubilee occurs every fifty years. This is seven, seven year cycles and on the 50th there was a time of celebration, debt cancelation and rest. It is interesting that this Year of Jubilee began in 2008 during one of the worst economic down turns in quite a long time. The banking system and auto industry in the US crashed along with many other businesses. The world’s system crashes at the same time that God releases a new promise of financial freedom to His people. We must see what God has for us and not be swayed by the events around us.

Zachariah’s vision of Joshua the High Priest
God also spoke to me that He is doing something similar to what was written in Zachariah 3 regarding Joshua the High Priest. 

Zechariah 3:1-7
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”  Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”
Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.”
Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by. The angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.

Joshua was the first High Priest after Israel returned from 70 years of captivity under the Babylonians. This was a new time for worship and serving God. Satan had been accusing him and holding him back from his destiny, but the Lord Himself stepped in and rebuked Satan. Joshua was then given clean “rich garments” and an invitation to rule in a new level of authority.

Narrowing our focus
Joshua’s condition mirrors that of much of the Church. We have been in a form of spiritual captivity with Satan trying to hold us back. This is the year that God is stepping in and giving us new vision, wealth, righteousness, and authority. From now until September 2009 will be a crucial time. We need to not believe the reports we are hearing around us, but keep our eyes on what God has promised us. God is bringing new strategies, new favor, new wisdom, and new financial blessings. He will turn the negative circumstances into positive outcomes that may look strange at first.

In 1 Corinthians 7:29–31 the Apostle Paul reminds us that the time is short and things are rapidly changing. A deeper look at the actual Greek text reveals that “since the time is short” is translated from the Greek word, sunestalmenos, which is a common word used in sailing. It means to furl or contract a sail in order to withstand high winds and remain stable. Furling prevents a boat from capsizing or damaging the sails. Paul is encouraging us to narrow our focus to prevent shipwreck. Narrowing our focus means to not get distracted from the things that God calls us to accomplish.
