Prophetic Word

Bethel – Worship Track – Prophetic Word 2/23/2010

Jen Johnson: “I have a word for you in the sweater right there (me), come here:

Extend your hands toward her, and pray… We say fresh, fresh, fresh fire! There’s such sensitivity with you, like you just have such sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. And I just saw you holding hands with the Holy Spirit and you were one... He would laugh and you would be laughing, He would cry and you would be crying. It felt like an emotional roller coaster, but He was like “No, you’re just following me! Just doing everything that I do” and you were like “But I’m an emotional roller coaster” and he was like a mirror back to you “I’m an emotional roller coaster!!!” (laugh), and I feel like there’s just this season that God’s taking you in and it’s like a mirror situation where He’s really showing you how He feels through His eyes. And some people will look at something and see joy; you’ll look through it with Holy Spirit eyes and see sadness… and vice-versa. I feel like it’s a call to pray, and I feel like I just want to break off of you depression, or heaviness and I feel like you need to know that you are a prayer. You have such an authority and a power. And I saw you like Joan of Arc and I saw you on this horse and I saw you like commanding things, but then the next scene it changed and you were this little mouse running around, and I felt like the Lord said “You may see yourself as this little mouse that is scampering around and small, but I see you as Joan of Arc on this horse and so I want you to position yourself as the person that you are” So God I just pray for fresh authority and fire, and character, and passion and all the things that you’ve called her to do in prayer and the rest of the things in her life, Lord. I pray for a grace and an understanding to know You and to know Your heart and Your ways. I thank you that her sensitivity arrows and antennas are going in both directions – she’s receiving and she is praying, God. And I pray that You would show her the authority that she carries having to do specifically with worship and prayer. I just bless her in Jesus’ name.”

Erica: “God we release the breakthrough that You’ve prepared for her, God! I release the breakthrough in this room. I release the breakthrough of Your presence, the breakthrough of Your grace. I release the breakthrough of understanding, God. I release the season of understanding, God. Let it come right now, let it come like a wave. Let the answers come, let the revelation come! Let the thoughts come! Let the thoughts flow right now, God! Let your presence bubble up! Father God I just release the answers. I release the answers. I release the answers that come with a surrendered heart. Lord I ask right now, that you would take her away with You. Take her away to the secret place. Take her away to that bench in heaven where you give us the answers and we find out how we delight in You – and how You delight in us. Holy Spirit come!

There are places where people have hurt you that are like bleeding wounds… like you were hemorrhaging, you were hemorrhaging, you were hemorrhaging, you were hemorrhaging… and I saw that in that very place that the wound had come, that the Lord reached His fingers in and He pulled out a DIAMOND! He said “you didn’t understand. You thought this was a place of hurt, but you didn’t understand that in this very place of hurt I was making diamonds! It was like pressures – it was pressures like the coal that turns into the diamond. And that very thing that was causing the wound was the very thing that was bringing the breakthrough. The very place where there is that pain, where there is that betrayal – He was making those very things Christ like. And I saw your heart on the potter’s wheel and He was forming it because you said “God form me” and He was shaping you because you said “God shape me” and He was making you come into your destiny because you said “God, I want to be the one who sees! I want to be the one who sees You! I want to be the one who goes!” And you’ve given yourself fully to Him and He said “This is the way. This is the way. You’re on the path. You’re on the path. This is the way.” And I saw Him release signs to you. I felt like in that very place of pain, there is encouragement coming! That even this week, I felt like the Lord said that in these next 3 weeks that you are going to see breakthrough – that you would understand all the places where you are on the right path. And I saw that you were planning to leave, even for this summer and not coming back. And I saw the Lord shut doors. I saw Him sovereignly shut doors in your life. And He said let me show you where I’ve called you to be. Let me show you! And I saw phone calls coming, and saw answers coming, and I saw finances coming. Because there is a thing of a surrendered heart of trust that when you moved into that place, everything began to line up and it was a right alignment.

So Father God, I release right alignment in this room. I release the right order. The heavenly order that she wouldn’t take things out of season and she wouldn’t try to do things in her own work, but that instead that she would lean on You and she would trust you and rest in You. And that in that place that You would speak to her right to her heart, right to her heart, right to her heart. So Father God I declare Isaiah 22:22 over her: “That You would shut doors that no man can open, and open doors that no man can shut” And that You would move sovereignly in her life. God I release Your sovereignty right now. That you would give her the eyes to see Your sovereignty in her life. That You would give her grace to see where You’re moving, where You’re hiding, what You’re doing. That You would give her grace and understanding to know the times and seasons that she’s in.

Cris, the first thing that I saw in you when I put my hands on you before, is I saw that the Lord was healing your heart! This is a deep, deep season of healing! God has brought you to this place that you would begin to see and understand the true identity that He has for you. I saw Him holding before you a mirror. And you thought that the mirror was just 2-dimentional, but really that mirror was a deep, deep, deep pool. It was a clear and clean pool, and I felt that the Lord said that the work that He was going to do was going to become so strong in you that people were going to be able to ice skate upon your identity. I felt like what that meant is that there is going to be such a deep, deep healing and grace that took place in you, that the wounds would become frozen over like they never were, and people were going to be able to enjoy, and to live, and to dance, and to thrive upon the very work that you have said “God, I will do this in my life, God I will move into the depths of that healing”. And I felt like literally you are going to become that place where other people are going to be able to thrive even in their winter seasons. That God was going to bring people to you in their winter seasons. I felt like there is an anointing on you to bring people out of massive spiritual abuse. Even witchcraft abuse, satanically ritually abused, even people who are spiritually abused through religion and leaders who had come against them. Bring this anointing God, that there would be an anointing that would yield hearts, God. That it would fall upon her with an authority to break people out of spiritual darkness and bondage.

And I felt like the Lord was even going to give you a ministry of releasing contacts to people. Contact lenses. That there would actually be healing that would come to their eyes and they would begin to understand where God was at and what He was doing. And I felt like the reason that the Lord said that He was bringing you through many of these things is because you are actually going to release identity. An identity releasing call. And it really starts with you. Like Jacob, fighting God. And I feel like you just in that season of just wrestling with God for your identity and I feel like He’s saying “Daughter, I’m here with you. Daughter, I sent the angel to wrestle you. I’m in this with you because I am making you the overcomer. It’s this whole thing of the overcomer and the victor. And He’s fighting it with you and He’s getting dirty with you. And He’s wrestling down everything with you. He’s doing it that you would see your strength, that you would see. And He says “you will overcome. You will walk through. You will be victorious because I have called YOU into a place of victory!” So Father God, I just want everyone in this room to just yell VICTORY! 1-2-3: “VICTORY”!!! We release the victory of Jesus Christ and Him crucified over you. And we release that overcoming grace that you would move out with authority.

I saw over you, the Lord said “you are a queen with queen size problems!” And sometimes they say you can tell the size of a man by the size of his problems and what it takes to shake him. And I saw the Lord is bringing you through this place of you working out these problems because He’s going to give you queen-size solutions! So God, we just thank you for that!

Love Came Down- by Brian Johnson

If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice
I hold onto what is true, though I cannot see
If the storms of life they come, and the road ahead gets steep
I will lift these hands in faith, I will believe

I remind myself of all that you’ve done
And the life I have because of your son

Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am yours
I am forever yours
Mountain high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am yours
I am forever yours
When my heart is filled with hope, and every promise comes my way
When I feel your hands of grace, rest upon me
Staying desperate for you God, Staying humbled at your feet
I will lift these hands and praise, I will believe

Unbroken Fellowship by Ivan Tait

Unbroken Fellowship

1 John 1:7 If you walk in the Light of My truth as I am in the Light, we have unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from all sin and guilt. Author's Paraphrase

How good it feels to be clean and forgiven. You are not guilty! Say that to yourself. Relish the light on your shining heart. Enjoy a clear conscience and bathe yourself in the healing power of being right with Me. This is your spiritual sauna. When you dwell there your stress leaves, your muscles relax, and your headaches never return.

I have made you and designed you to live in light with no dark secrets and no buried memories. Everything tormenting has to go. You are a light bringer. You will chase away people ghosts. You will never break rank with Me. Always ask Me questions. Don't leap before you know I told you to. Your fellowship with Me will make you great. Your free-flowing wisdom will open many impossible doors and your sincere love will win you many friends. Live long in My blessing and give it all away.

Connected in Purpose,

Ivan Tait

He Will Come For You- Jason Vallotton

12 years and 14 days
Led me here to this place
Away from you
In the lonesome night I cry
Memories falling from my eyes
I will pray for you

I know you tried so hard
I know you gave your all
I know you were afraid
But I still know who you are
I know You'll take it all away

Say I'm right and you were wrong
I stood still when you walked on
I don't care
Now you're somewhere in between
Make believe and broken dreams
That lie on the floor

He will come for you
He will come
He will come like the rain
He will come for you
He will pull you through
And heal the pain

Through the dark and broken night
He will come and give His life
For your love
Wipe the tears that were your stains
Heal the memories of your pain
He will never let you go

He will come for you
He will come
He will come like the rain
He will come for you
He will pull you through
And heal the pain

Little one to Him belong
You are weak but He is strong
Close your eyes and He will come for you

He will come for you
He will come
He will come like the rain
He will come for you
He will pull you through
And heal the pain

Closer- John Mark McMillan

Come closer, closer to me.
Find me broken, find me bleedin'
cause I need more now than a fairy tale,
a god who lives in a book.
I need someone real.

So would you come?
Would you come?
If i begged you, would you come closer to me now?

Come closer, closer to me.
Find me broken, find me on my knees,
cause I need more now than philosophy.
Some god in outer space doesn't mean anything to me.

So would you come?
Would you come?
If I begged you, would you come closer to me now?
Would you come?
Would you come?
If i begged you, would you come closer to me now?

Son of David, do not pass me by,
cause I am naked,
I'm poor and I'm blind.
Son of david, don't pass me by,
cause I am naked,
I'm poor and I'm blind.

Rolling on a River - Nathan Noble


This is from my awesome co-worker and BSSM classmate Nathan Noble who sometimes has the ability to put words to some of the music inside my heart... here it goes:

Rolling on a river
Away from striving and unrest
I come to lean upon Your chest
From the shallows into the deep.

My movements slowed
By the deepening swell
I waver, looking back
To the shore and the firmer track
The solid ground and quicker step.

But it's too late now
The hold is strong
My quivering hands
No longer strive
To go back or to even try
To reach the other side.

My eyes are turned as they strain
To see what will be coming then
Round the bend
But all I see is more the same
The current rolling down and down
An endless path I travel on.

My feet lose hold
Of the muddy ground
It's as if I've died
Or just begun
To slip into Jacob's dream
And climbing find the real thing
As I fall asleep
I open my eyes
And look to see
As for the very first time.

Today is the day!

I haven't been here in a long time, and I'm starting to think writing is probably not my thing, but I think I can still use it as a tool for sharing the music that touches me or random articles I come across and I identify with... so here is one I'm still processing and just absolutely loved! Ready?

Jason Vallotton: Today is the day!

Here is a letter that I wrote a while ago. Enjoy. Today is the day, there will never be another today and each one of these is a gift that will never be given again. Wake up from slumber, wipe the sleep from your eyes and live. Go on and live. Today is the day to start, there is not a good enough reason not to!
This life is not mine, I am merely a renter if you will, borrowing this body to steward what He has given me. I am a dream that a body has been wrapped around, accountable for each decision I carefully make. I am fully aware that in each day lies the opportunity for eternity to be touched, if I will only seize the day.
My life will be measured by what it cost me to get to where I am, if I really learned to love and how much I sacrificed for another’s gain. When I am gone, when my life is spent, I will be boiled down to these things that I have left behind. I will not care about how much I was hurt, how angry I became or how depressed I was. These are true emotions but they are not foundations to a healthy life. We must all pass through these times and respect them, but don’t make depression or anger a roommate; misery is his only friends.
Life is short, life is unpredictable. I only get one shot at it and for the most part, there are no re-do’s. Don’t get me wrong, I may go around the mountain more than once but I can’t turn the clock back. Seize the day, take advantage of each moment, even if it is not the moment that you wanted or expected, this is the moment that you are in. Steward each one and you can be sure that growth will be the fruit of your labor.
There was once a man born with great promise. The Lord told him that he would be blessed and that his family would serve him because he was favored. Joseph the young man was careless with his promises and in his zeal he provoked his brothers to jealousy. The long and short of it is that his brothers did not really like the idea of serving him; they plotted to ruin his life, selling him into slavery. Joseph found himself in a precarious situation. He was sold to a very prominent man in the government; over time he became a man of influence and he gained favor with his master. For the young man, life was looking promising again, he had made it through betrayal, through the fear of the unknown and last, he gained influence with powerful men. Seems as though the story should end here but it doesn’t, Joseph was unjustly accused of sleeping with his master’s wife and once again he found himself in a helpless situation, he was in prison.
Through a series of events, Joseph, while still in prison interprets a dream for the king that no one else could interpret. He gains favor with the king once again and soon finds himself overseeing the king’s land and taking care of the people in that land. Eventually the promise that the Lord gave to him as a young man came to pass. He miraculously saves his family from starvation. Great reconciliation happened that day for the whole family and the young man was restored to his father.
Like Joseph, often times we do not get to choose the moments that we are in, we just get the opportunity to choose what happens through us. I said it before and I will say it again. I am a dream that a body is wrapped around. I have been created for a purpose, specially made, one of a kind. I won’t stay here long for I am only a visitor sowing into eternity.
Place vision on like Raybans, keep destiny in sight knowing that it is much grater than you, much larger than what you can handle. You are like Noah called to build something that you have never built before and never seen. It will take crazy blind faith and the ability to imagine way beyond your minds capacity.
Where do you start? Today. There is no better time than today, the grass is always greener and tomorrow always looks more promising. But you will never have today again. Start now and you will never be sorry that today was the first step toward your dreams. How do you start? Steward the little things that the Lord has brought into your life, be faithful with them and you will be given more. Dream big, and take risk. You will never be sorry at the end of your days for taking risk and trying. Just make sure that you are not the only decision maker in your life. But by all means, today is the day…
Today is your day; it is the first step in the long walk toward you dreams. Life will not come to you, you must go after it and grab it, knowing that it is much greater than what it seems. Skip today and it will be gone forever, to never return. Listen to my words and follow my lead, don’t worry about what you don’t know because on the way you will learn. Life is so much so much greater than I could even say. So wake up from your sleep and wipe off the tears because today is your day…
