Free Prophetic Words from Doug Addison

Free Prophetic Words!
Doug Addison

I have had a prophetic gifting from God all my life, though I have not always heard God clearly. Things would happen to me all the time that I thought were just coincidental, but now I realize it was God speaking to me. In 1991 I began to journal and track everything that I heard from God. To this day I journal daily in detail all the ways I hear God. I would really encourage you to do this as well. You get out of your spiritual life what you put into it.

The most frequently asked question I get is, “How can I tell if what I am hearing is from God or myself, or from Satan?” It is easier to distinguish between Satan and God, but determining whether what you are hearing is from God or yourself will take practice.

Hebrews 5:14 NIV
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

I like to compare it with someone who works with security and fraud, and has been trained to recognize counterfeit money. They study real money so closely that they will immediately pick up on the counterfeit. This is the same with hearing God.

In 2001 I felt God calling me to get serious with my prophetic gift. I read more books and went to seminars and took some classes. I began to get around people who had the same gift I had and watched how they operated in it. God began speaking to me about the spiritual principle of the more you give, the more you will receive. I began giving short and encouraging words to people everywhere, outside churches and inside. I usually prophesy to over 5,000 people a year. The result of this is that I have now trained myself to hear God regularly. It is like any other gifts, whether it be teaching, preaching, hospitality, administration, worship, intercession etc. The more you practice and study your gift, the better you get at it. Of course, we can only go as far as the Holy Spirit will allow us, and we need to operate in God’s strength and power, not our own.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 NIV
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

So, after giving thousands of prophetic words, I have noticed a recent pattern with the needs of people. To help encourage even more people, I have outlined a few prophetic words and words of knowledge and wisdom below. Most of them came to me as I was writing this article, and I am certain that the people who read it will be helped. So read through them and pray and ask God to speak to you. Maybe you will recognize one of these words as being applicable to your situation or that of someone you know.

Share them with your friends!

1. This is the end of a dry season. The glimmer of sun (Son) you are now seeing is not the sunset but the sunrise to a new day. Trust this time and move forward.

2. There is new strength coming to you. Satan has tried to come against your body and your health but you have held on and just as the sickness set in slowly, there is a new strength and healing from God that is setting in right now.

3. God has been changing your friends and acquaintances…you are being realigned right now to set you up for a new season. The old things have not worked as they once had. This is because all things are about to become new for you.

4. You have been saying, “I can’t seem to see what you are doing, Lord.” He says to you, “This is because I have hid My plans so that your enemies would not discover it. Even from you I have had to hide these things so that they would not be spoiled.” God our father loves surprises. Get ready to open your new gift, saved for this special time of your life.

5. This will be a significant birthday for you this year. It is as if you have been passed by not just once or twice, but many times. God says, “It’s complicated to explain!” But there have been factors behind the scenes, and there have been people and situations that have worked against you. Watch the table turn!

6. God wants you to know that the enemy only messes with people who are a threat to him. The difficulties you have experienced, even the dreams of running and feeling stuck, or showing up late, indicate that Satan has worked overtime in your life. God is the God of Justice, and He will not allow injustice against His people to prevail. This is the day to cry out because the Lord is now repaying and restoring the years that the locust has eaten away at your destiny.

7. You have asked the Lord, “Did I miss you? I thought that the decision I made was what you wanted me to do.” God says that He is restoring, right now, the things that did not work out. The decisions were correct but other people in your life said no or turned their back on God’s calling. Because others said no, God is sending a new strategy your way. He is aligning you with the right people and this will be the right time.

8. This is a strategic season in which family members and loved ones who have strayed from the faith are coming back.

9. There are prayers that have been prayed for decades that are being answered right now. Go back and look at your prayer list, the things you gave up on praying, God has not given up.

10. There is a dream that you gave up in order to have a family. God is going to repay you for this sacrifice and restore a destiny you thought you had lost.

11. You have gone through a financial beating. God is revealing to you in this season where the enemy has gained access. He will give you a strategy to pray to stop the hemorrhaging.

12. You have been on a short leash with God. Your calling is bigger than you know, so He has not allowed you to do some things that your friends do on a regular basis. This is because He is preparing you for a greater impact and a huge destiny.

13. You have been hearing that breakthrough is around the corner, but it never seems to come. Do not give up hope! This is a time to press into God and pick up some things that you laid down in the past.

14. There is a reason why people come to you and open up and talk about their problems with you. You have a gift from God that allows people to feel safe. You are being used in a great way to encourage people, and have even helped save some of your friends from killing themselves.

15. This next season of your life is very strategic and is like a chess board. It is not easy to see right now, but God is realigning some relationships and partnerships in your life that will allow you to excel in the next season.

16. You have been betrayed by some people, but God wants you to respond by blessing them. This is a time of learning to love those who curse you. What you learn now will propel you in the next season of your life.

17. God has been speaking to you about a financial increase in your life. It is time to give and trust God to open the flood gates of heaven.

18. Trust is being healed in you right now. God is healing you of rejection and ”the fear of man”. This is a spiritual lesson that is needed to get you to the next level.

19. As I am praying, I hear the name John. There are many named John that are going through a similar time. You have had promises over your life and, though times have not been clear, God wants you to trust Him right now. There will be a sudden turn of events.

20. You have been standing in front of a closed door. God is about to give you a new opportunity that will allow you to fulfill the same destiny.

21. There are new things coming to you from the written word of God. This is a season of revelation for you. Take notes and do some study.

22. What looks like a setback is not a setback at all. God is pulling you back for the purposes of propelling you forward in the New Year.

23. Follow your heart! You know what God has called you to and He has confirmed it. As you move forward, the doors of opportunity will open for you.

24. Look to the things that bring you passion and excitement. God is igniting you to ignite others. You have gone through a dry time, but this will only make the fire of the Holy Spirit burn brighter as you step into the new things being offered to you.

25. It’s time! Things that were promised previously that you did not see come to pass are beginning now. Particularly, things from 2006.

26. It is a time to rest and wait but while you are waiting on God, prepare yourself for the next season. Look back on the things He has promised you.

27. It is a time to change things up. Change your prayer time, change your study time, change your routine and you will get a new burst of energy that you need to make it through right now!

28. Consider your health and the fact that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You will want to make some changes and improvements in your diet, exercise, and emotional health. This will allow you to move into this next season with greater energy and strength.

29. You are not on the shelf yet! Go wants to use you to impart wisdom and be a major intercessors during this time of transition and trouble in the land.

30. You have been faithful with small things and God has held back to test you. Watch and see a greater level of influence and favor come to you. Trust this time and step out.

31. What was considered by the enemy to destroy you will now be your strength. You will help hundreds of people who are suffering from the very things that you have gone through in your life. God is redeeming it all!

32. There is a new job coming that will give you the flexibility you need to pursue the greater call of God on your life.

33. Your house is always full of life and activity. God is using you as a lighthouse to your neighborhood and your children’s friends. He wants to encourage you that this is your mission and He is going to use you more in this area.

34. Your mind is clearing up. The enemy has tried to come against your vision, thinking, and caused even depression like symptoms to invade your mind. The Lord says, “No more!” as this plan against you is being revealed. It was intended to get you to stop. Your destiny to help others is so strong, keep moving forward. Let the new strength in the Holy Spirit overtake you.

35. People have spoken against you and wrongly accused you. This has been to try to get you sidetracked but God is using it to test your character. He is going to strengthen you so that you can love your enemies and be a blessing.

36. “Stand in the storm,” says the Lord. Do not run right now. Let things clear first and you will see a new season breaking forward. In a very short time things will be revealed that are currently hidden from view.

37. You have been called by God to do something radically new but you have been misunderstood by many people. God is going to reveal a strategy for you to help you communicate what it is calling you to. Slow down and listen right now.

38. God has heard your cry! He has heard you weeping and asking, “Where are you Lord?” He is sending a sign to you to know that He knows your heart and your needs. There were some things that you thought were right for you but God saw the end result and saved you and you family from even more pain.

39. Your family members have gone astray and God has not forgotten them. There is something they are called to do that is so radically new that they would not be received by the current church structure. God is saving them for a special time, and just like Joseph who was placed in prison and waited for his time, God will bring about the things your loved ones are called to do, at the right time!

40.  God has done some great things in your life! He wants you to share the testimony of it to others. As you do this you will see even greater things start to happen! Healings, salvations, and even saving people from death! Greater things you shall do.

Prophetic Evangelism: Jacob’s Ladder and Jacob’s Well

Prophetic Evangelism: Jacob’s Ladder and Jacob’s Well
Doug Addison

I have always been fascinated with how Jesus interacted with people that were not religious. Interestingly, he seemed to only get upset with people who claimed to be religious but did not love and care for people as God desires. Two particular encounters that Jesus had in the book of John intrigue me: when he first met Nathaniel, and his encounter with the Samaritan woman at a well. Both of these people were not his followers until after Jesus interacted with them using the prophetic gift. Maybe you have heard me talk about this, but here is some deeper insight into it.

In John chapter one Jesus had a conversation with Nathaniel in which Jesus spoke to him prophetically. He told Nathaniel about his character, that he was basically an honest man and that he had seen him under a fig tree. This interaction opened Nathaniel’s eyes and caused him to exclaim, “Rabbi, you are the son of God, the King of Israel! (verse 49)” Jesus went on to tell him that, “You will see the heavens open and angels ascending and descending on the son of man” (verse 51). Jesus prophesied that Nathaniel would have a supernatural experience similar to Jacob’s Ladder (Genesis 28:12). It is not recorded in the Bible that Nathaniel ever actually saw this, but we know it happened because Jesus said it would.

In John chapter 4 Jesus encountered a Samaritan woman who came to draw water from a well that had originally been dug by Jacob (John 4:5-6). During their deep conversation, Jesus talked to her about worshipping God and then he switched the subject and asked her to go get her husband. She told him that she did not have one. With that, Jesus replied, “You’re right that you have no husband, the fact is that you have had five husbands and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is quite true” (verse 17-18). At that, the woman realized that Jesus was a prophet, and she went to get people from her town to come and see him.  At first glance, you might think that Jesus was judging her and pointing out her faults. But notice that he commends her for her honesty, “What you said is quite true”.

With both Nathaniel and the Samaritan woman, Jesus found something positive to say to them. This is a lost art with Christians today. If you ask someone on the street what they think of Christians, the number one answer is that they are negative. Jesus gives us a great example of finding the good in someone no matter who they are. Beyond that, isn’t it interesting that Jesus makes two references to Jacob during his evangelistic journey. Jacob’s Ladder, shows that some people need to experience God through a supernatural encounter. Seeing angels ascending and descending from Heaven shows that they are bringing God’s will “on earth as it is in Heaven”. Other people need to experience God through conversations and getting deep. The significance of Jacob’s Well was that it is over 75 feet deep. The Samaritan woman was one of the few people that Jesus revealed himself to as the Messiah. This shows that God wants to reveal deep mysteries to people.

It helps to be mindful that people will not all experience God the same way. That is why we need different types of churches and various flavors of Christianity to reach a variety of different people on the earth. For some reason many Christians feel that we all have to believe what they believe or we are not ‘saved’. Reality is that some people need to experience God supernaturally and others need to talk it through and understand it more logically. But the interesting part is that in both instances, Jesus still used the prophetic gift to share his message. With Nathaniel he had two words of knowledge and one prophecy. With the Samaritan woman he had one prophecy and two words of knowledge. Also note that in the chapters that immediately follow these encounters (2 and 5) he performs a miracle by turning water into wine and healing a man who had been paralyzed for 32 years. Jesus shows us that we can carry the gifts of the Holy Spirit like a tool belt so that whatever gift we need to help people is readily available to us.

Evangelism becomes a lot more fun and effective when we use the gifts of the Holy Spirit to draw people to God. Today, people are looking for a real God with real power to help them with their real problems! So next time you have a conversation with someone, ask God to speak to you about them. Look for a positive characteristic or gift they have, or ask God to show you what would be the very thing that opens their eyes.

A modern example of using Jacob’s Well and Ladder (going deep and going high in the Holy Spirit) is an experience I had this week in a coffee shop while at a conference in Alaska. I asked the young woman behind the counter if she dreams of flying. Since I interpret dreams, I have noticed that flying is a very common theme in dreams of people who have a greater destiny to fulfill. She told me that she did not dream at night of flying, but she has a life dream of being a pilot but her eyesight is too poor. She was stunned that I knew this, and I was able to encourage her to not give up on her dream. She told me that she was becoming a flight attendant instead. If I had more time and there was not a long line behind me, I might have had the opportunity to pray for her eye sight to get better. But we’ll just have to trust the Holy Spirit to send someone else to do that. I was able to use a word of knowledge and get into a short but deep conversation with her.

Imagine the possibilities if Christians everywhere could hear the Holy Spirit speak to them for people that they meet in their everyday lives. God really loves it when we are able to encourage and build people up. It is not difficult and it helps us to see the good things that God has placed in people. There is a new wave of Prophetic and Power Evangelism that is sweeping the globe right now. Step out and see what happens. If we sincerely love people even if they are not Christians, people will begin to trust us more and begin to seek us out for help!

“God, open our eyes to what you are doing around us. Empower us by your Holy Spirit to not just try to get people to pray a prayer of salvation, but give us a heart for them and a willingness to walk alongside of people who so desperately need your love. I pray for an encouraging encounter today for us all!” In Jesus Name, Amen.

John 4:35 NIV
…I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Your Breakthrough is in Your Current Situation

Your Breakthrough is in Your Current Situation
Doug Addison

On 09/09/09 the presence of God came into my house and I was overwhelmed for over an hour with God’s euphoric love and joy. During the experience I received revelation about ministry and financial breakthrough that God wants to do in people’s lives right now. Many of us have prophetic promises from God about operating at a higher level of ministry but are currently in a job or situation that you have little passion for. There are also people who need a financial breakthrough that will allow you to freely do all the things that God is calling you to. God spoke to me that a key for this breakthrough may lie in your current situation.

My breakthrough
In 1988 God began speaking about being in full time ministry. A few years later I got serious about pursuing ministry training, but the problem was that I still needed to work my full time job to make a living. So I started doing self-study courses and volunteered what little free time I had at ministries that were doing what I felt called to. It seemed that I would never have the opportunity to serve God with the freedom I wanted and have the money to get the training I needed. Then God showed me that I needed to stop living my life thinking about how it will be in the future, begin enjoying the present, and be grateful each day for the job I had at the time.

Colossians 3:23-24 NIV
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

In 1993 everything changed when I started working at my job as if I were working for God. I was working in San Francisco at the time, and my boss and most of my fellow employees were not Christian. In fact, most people were very hostile towards Christians in the workplace. In spite of that I decided to use my God-given spiritual gifts to help people at work instead of complaining to God for my feelings of being stuck. I started praying and interceding for the company I worked for, and we started seeing dramatic results. I would get words of knowledge and share them as “ideas I got while praying,” and the owner began to attribute my prayers with the company’s success.

As a result, I received bonuses and a couple of years later, when I approached them about transitioning from my corporate job into ministry, they were helpful by keeping me on part time. Eventually they hired me back as a contractor for five times the pay! This extraordinary favor allowed me to transition into full time ministry and provided funding to plant our first church. God opened the doors, but it was a result of me changing my attitude towards my situation. God used my current job and a group of non-Christians to bless me. Years later God used the experiences I had at that job to help develop my message of Prophetic Evangelism that has now being taught all over the world.

Change your situation
This is a prophetic word to many people right now: “God wants to use your current situation to bless you and release finances and favor into your life.” The key to it is learning to be content and work at whatever it is you are doing as if you are working for God Himself. This does not only pertain to jobs, but also to being in school, relationship or whatever situation you are in.

The Bibles tells us that we can do incredible things through God’s strength. Since God’s love and power is limitless, what we can accomplish through His Holy Spirit has no limits as well. If we are unhappy and anxious about our situation, it can create limits to what we can do through God. Allowing God’s love to flow through us, being content, and having gratitude can change the spiritual atmosphere around us and ultimately create an environment in which blessings are drawn to us.

Philippians 4:12-13
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

If you feel frustrated or stuck, begin to find good things in your life right now. Here are a few tips on how to change your current situation:

• Give thanks to God for all that He has done for you. Make a list of blessings and things you are grateful for.

• Think about the positive things you like about people in your life. If you are married, what are the things that originally drew you together? Learn to recognize and help draw attention to the good things in other people.

• Who can you encourage or help today? Who can you help practically?

Ephesians 3:20 THE MESSAGE
God can do anything, you know — far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Blessings,

Update on The New Sound from Heaven

Update on The New Sound from Heaven
Doug Addison

I have been getting some questions about the article I wrote called The New Sound from Heaven. First, if you have not read my article, start by *reading it before you comment. There is a link to it at the bottom of this posting. You don’t have to agree with me but what I do ask is that if you leave comments that you are nice about it. I want to be clear that what God spoke to me about the New Sound had one purpose, to awaken a revival in the young emerging generation.

Question: “I’m part of a worship/recording ministry, and we would love to know more about any equipment or software that you see as being key to the new sound. Is there any way you can break down the makeup of the music you’re hearing? Are there any particular sounds or samples that stand out? Is it drum-heavy? More ambient? High energy? Does it tend to be more melodic or repetitive? Are there any outstanding instruments? Does it sound airy, or chunky, or fluid, or fiery? Does the instrumentation/programming have a lot of complexity in the time signature and arrangement, or is it fairly straightforward? You mention it “reverberates forever”—do you mean it literally has a lot of reverb or echo effect applied? Is there an emphasis on high-, low-, or mid-range frequency?”

Doug’s answer: I am a musician too and understand music quite well; however, what I heard was advanced so it is not easy to define. It had a high energy techno dance feel to it – really interactive. Similar to programs like Guitar Hero, people without a lot of training could be part of the music. I heard it reverberating forever indicated that, like techno, the songs can go on and on in the Spirit.

God spoke to me two years ago about a hand-held DJ mixing device that was going to change music. The Pacemaker is the only one out there right now. There will still be music recorded using all types of instruments and various style but devices like the Pacemaker will soon be incorporated into live bands and create a crossover of rock/rap/hip-hop into a new hybrid of some type of “super-techno” for lack of a better term. With the Pacemaker technology there are no limits to what can be produced. God is limitless! I think the current DJ mixes that are using Pacemaker are not necessarily the New Sound. But the New Sound is out there. I am not saying that Pacemaker is the New Sound but watch this technology. I have one myself and I am working on some worship mixes and I want to find a live band willing to experiment with it.

Question: What will happen to existing Christian music?

Doug’s answer: Existing Christian music will continue on. God is not trying to make our current music obsolete. In the experience I had in which God allowed me to hear the New Sound from Heaven, Christians got angry at me about it. That is already happening! Apparently, Christians are very protective with their music. Just look at previous revivals and moves of God. Quite often, existing Christians fight against what God wants to do. I am not saying that all other music will become obsolete or is wrong. We need all types of styles to allow a variety of different people to worship God. This New Sound was designed to help a generation of people who have not yet experienced God to come to Him in a way that is unprecedented. The best thing is to ask God to “Give us ears to hear” in the Spirit and be willing to embrace the new.

Q: Will the New Sound be just one style of music?

Doug’s answer: It’s just like when the Beatles came on the scene—the anointing they had (that was originally from God but used by Satan to bring in a movement of Middle Eastern religion) spilled over into the music industry. It changed the music around them. When the Church finally embraced it in the 1970s and the Jesus People Movement happened, some music began to pick up a positive feel to it. Because God is limitless, I don’t think that we can limit the New Sound. Remember that the New Sound has a huge purpose: to awaken a young generation for God!!

Don’t Stop in the Wilderness

Don’t Stop in the Wilderness
Doug Addison

The Wilderness
A big mistake we can make spiritually is stopping or quitting during difficult times. Periodically, we all go through a spiritual wilderness which is actually quite normal. God uses these difficult or unclear times to strengthen us and prepare us to be able to stand stronger in the future. We can learn valuable lessons in the wilderness.

Isaiah 43:19 NKJV
Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Some people refer to the wilderness as the “dark night of the soul”. This phrase emerged from the writings of Saint John of the Cross, a Carmelite priest in the 16th century. Over the years I have learned to embrace these times and learn what I need, but I have found that it is best to get out of dry times as quickly as possible. Learn the lessons that God wants to teach you and get out of the dark night, for crying out loud! Some people think you are more spiritual if you live in the wilderness. The Israelites made this mistake when they were freed from captivity in Egypt. They were called to the Promised Land but settled for the wilderness instead.

Hosea 2:14 NIV
Therefore I am now going to allure her (Israel); I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.

Quite often God will allow us to go into a wilderness time to test us just before a promotion to a new level spiritually. I went through a major dark night and testing in 1999. There were seven deaths in my family that year including my mom. There were legal battles going on within my family, and I was beginning to have the early symptoms of a fatal incurable disease called Huntington’s Chorea, from which I was later healed of all symptoms in 2001. I was pastoring a church at the time and to help cope with the difficulties in my own life, I did a sermon series called “Post Cards from the Wilderness” in which I talked openly about how to understand and embrace difficult times. I got out of my wilderness two years later by learning some lessons that quickly catapulted me into a spiritual promotion with a new level of anointing and ministry. During this time I went to the San Francisco Standup Comedy College and made my wilderness time fun by enjoying each day that God had given me and learning to laugh in the midst of great trails.

Don’t stop moving forward!
The Kingdom of God is always advancing, and God wants us to stay moving towards what He has for us. We might have seasons of rest, but we should be proactive and continue to grow in our spiritual life. If we stop using our spiritual gifts we can cut off the life flow of the Holy Spirit in our life. I discovered this firsthand in 2007 when I went into another time of testing in the wilderness. After a series of events and for various reasons, I stopped releasing prophetic words on the national and international level. I still prayed for people and prophesied at meetings and churches, but I stopped writing and releasing prophetic words that I was receiving from God for regions, cities and nations. The problem was that my call is to influence the entire world for Jesus using my gifts of prophecy and evangelism. God was beginning to use me in a greater way with my prophetic gifting, but along with that calling came a major amount of spiritual warfare that was absolutely unbearable at times.

My reasoning was good at the time. I was already going through so much spiritual warfare doing evangelism that I found the extra warfare of releasing world-wide prophetic words would be too much for us. I had also announced that a revival would start in 2005 but it did not happen. I began to listen to advice from people to use wisdom and hold back. What I did not recognize was that the warfare would have been less had I gone forward with what God had given me instead of allowing the enemy to shut me down. When God calls us to something, He gives us the ability to stand and He fights battles for us. You’ll find many cases in the Bible in which God called people to do something against all odds and even being outnumbered. He gets the glory when we succeed.

False humility
At the time I was holding back on releasing prophetic words I was thinking that I was being humble. I had good intentions and wanted to operate in character, and I actually began to apologize publically for words that I released that never seemed to come about. Then God spoke to me that He was the one who gave me the words to release, and even though it seemed that I was inaccurate at times, something did happen that I was not aware of. Many of the prophetic words spurred people on to go for what God has called them to, and some are happening now years later. In January 2009, I was speaking at a conference with Bob Jones. He told me that I was operating under false humility, and that I need to release what God tells me and leave the rest up to Him.

We need to be humble and not promote ourselves or puff ourselves up. False humility is when we are holding back out of fear and timidity or other negative motives and thinking that we are being humble. Fear is not a motive and aspect that comes from God.

2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Getting restarted
To respond to this, I went back to my journals and found the last big prophetic word that was intended to be released. It was an experience I had on January 15, 2007 A Plan of Darkness to Bring Financial Ruin. I released this in April 2009 and the response was phenomenal. People contacted me and said that they had gone through this very attack. Had I released the word when I got it in 2007, it is possible that it could have saved some people from losing a lot of money.

Since then I am back to receiving prophetic words and having major spiritual experiences on a regular basis again. Not only am I back on track with my prophetic gift, God has given me a supernatural ability to stand in the midst of a tremendous amount of warfare. Along with this has come a new authority and anointing. His power has increased in my ministry and His presence is now resting in me on a daily basis. Though I have a relationship with God and have been operating in ministry all along, I did not realize I was settling for less than what He wanted to give me. I had actually opened up doors for the enemy to attack me and cause me to retreat instead of advance.

The reason I am sharing this so openly is that there is a spiritual principle found in Matthew 18:19 where two agree together, what they agree on will be established. This principle is at work in your spiritual life right now. Are you agreeing with Satan to pull back and close down your gifts, or are you agreeing with God to move forward with His power, presence and anointing? It is a time to move forward and be re-fired and encouraged!

“God, I pray that you would reveal where the enemy has been deceiving and robbing us of our spiritual gifts and authority in You. I pray for new authority and new favor with you and other people.” In Jesus Name. Amen

Mark 9:23 NIV
…Everything is possible for him who believes.
