This New Season
Ras Robinson
You are coming into your full bloom season in the things
I have placed and will yet place in your heart. Things have been
difficult and you have gone through many trials. Those times have been
necessary to prepare you for this new season. This will be good time in
your life. There will be favor on what you do, my favor. My hand is
upon you to deliver you and set your feet on higher ground. Do not
concern yourself what where you will be or what you will be doing.
Simply relax, place your total trust in me and I will do things that
will amaze you. The problem you will have in the future is wondering
whether or not you deserve what will be happening. May I say to you
that you do not nor will you deserve the blessings and favor that you
are receiving and will be yours. It is all because of my choice of you,
my choice of this season to bless you. I will be expanding your
borders, multiplying your efforts and bringing in the culmination of all
I have intended for you from the beginning. Enjoy the full bloom. It
is my gift to you.

The Upper Room
Debra Westbrook
As I sat before the Lord this morning, He led me to read 1 Kings 17:19-23
concerning the prophet Elijah. I began to see that within God's prophets, His
forerunners, there is an inner chamber, an upper room, prepared by God within
each one where the Spirit of God abides in a powerful impartation of
revelation that will bring forth RESURRECTION LIFE to those who are dead.
This place is an inner chamber, an upper room where God's prophets have
fellowshipped with God, the secret place of abiding where many have heard His
voice and responded to His revelations. This is a place of impartation that I
saw from which a company of prophets will sound forth the oracles of God, a
place from which will flow forth LIFE. This is a place in the Spirit prepared
for this time residing within each one. Living waters will flow forth to
those, whom like the son, are in need of resurrection power. The breath of
God from the lips of God's servants, His friends, the prophets will breath
life. I saw many who have been hidden coming forth. I continue to hear
"Release!"
The upper room in the lives of His prophets is a place where there is a bed
of intimacy, fellowship, and communion- a place where each has encountered
God. From this place, God's prophets call people higher, bringing
resurrection life. From this place, God's prophets stretch out, like Elijah
did with the boy, calling forth life into dead situations, circumstances,
people, churches, cities, nations, etc. They will go wherever God is going to
send them, immediately obedient, for a window of divine opportunity,
empowered by His grace is upon us.
Where God leads His prophets, a ministry of impartation will flow that will
effect great change in the spiritual atmosphere, breathing life, where once
was death. But His prophets are to only go to where He sends them by His hand
for then God's resurrection power will accompany and flow from their inner
being, the inner chamber. Many are about to embark upon divine assignments by
the Spirit of God. Like Elijah, we are to bring people to our place of
impartation, our bed, leading them into places higher in the Spirit. We must
not descend to their level of death but focus on life, the life of the
Kingdom flowing from us. God will strategically place us as we go forth, but
it will cost us everything for our lives are not our own.
I then heard this impressed upon my heart: "Stretch! Lay your life down so
that others may live! For I will send you to the lifeless, the lost, the
hopeless, the despairing, the despondent, and the distraught. Life has been
drained from them, yet you will breathe new life, resurrection life into
those to whom I send you to. Breath forth life and watch as they respond to
live! Bring them into your upper room, a place of impartation that resides
within you by the Spirit of the living God! Christ in you, the hope of glory!
All that I have spoken to you, speak forth! All that I have taught you, teach
others! Stretch out over the Body of Christ so that those who have an ear to
hear, may live and sound forth the reality of a risen Savior that has touched
their lives so that they may indeed touch others. Do not hold back. For from
this place of impartation, this inner chamber, you will present them anew
saying, 'Look your son is alive!" Stretch! For living waters shall flow
forth from your innermost being. Let life flow from your inner man to touch
those by My Spirit. For within you resides a perpetual Pentecost and you are
empowered by My Spirit to bring forth life in these days!"
Rivers of Eden
Walking With God
Rick Joyner
This week we will continue with our theme of how the bride makes herself
ready for the coming of the Lord, and thereby hastens the coming of the
day of God (see II Peter 3:12). In one of the shortest, but most
remarkable stories in Scripture we read in Genesis 5:22-24:
Concerning this same story we read in Hebrews 11:5:
For the last mention of Enoch in Scripture, but not the least
important, we are told in Jude 1:14-16:
These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own
lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an
advantage.
There is a message in these texts that is crucial for our own
times. The most special characteristic about Enoch is that he walked with
God. He walked with Him so closely that he did not have to taste death,
but the Lord took him directly to heaven. This was a foreshadowing of what
has been popularly referred to as “the rapture.” As Paul wrote in I
Corinthians 15:51-52:
Enoch was but the first fruits of the last day church that would
also be caught up without tasting death. There have been many books
written about how and why this takes place, and even some have speculated
about when, but the reason this happens is the same reason it happened to
Enoch. The last day church will walk with God so closely that He will be
obliged to bring them into the fullness of His presence in the heavens,
transforming them from the mortal to the eternal in a “twinkling of an
eye.”
I have often heard Christians say that they were trying to
decrease so that the Lord could increase in their life. This seems to be a
noble endeavor, but it is not biblical, and is actually the opposite of
what John the Baptist said, which was, “He must increase, but I must
decrease” (John 3:30). If we try to decrease before He increases in our
life we will just get empty, and the void will usually be filled with an
evil religious spirit. “Enoch walked with God” and “he was not...” When we
walk with God we will be caught up into who He is, and our old nature will
just disappear.
Though our old man was crucified with Jesus on the cross,
rendering our old nature as dead so as to experience the resurrection life
in Christ is a process that takes place as we walk with God. The more we
see of Him the more we are changed.
Enoch is also the first one recorded in Scripture to have
prophesied. True prophecy is a product of walking with God. When we walk
with God so that we are changed into His image we will begin to see with
His eyes, hear with His ears, and understand with His heart. God sees from
the perspective of eternity. To Him the future is just as clear as the
present. Because of this, Enoch who lived in the days of Adam was able to
look all the way to the end and see the Lord coming with His hosts.
It is fitting that Enoch should prophesy of events all the way
at the end of this age, as he is a prophetic model of the church at the
end. The church at the end is going to walk with God, prophesy, and be
caught up into the heavens to be with Him. Could this be your destiny?
There is nowhere in Scripture that says you cannot do what Enoch did. The
greatest testimony of the last day church will be that she walked with
God, and she “was not,” because God took her so that she did not even have
to taste death. She did not have to taste death because she died daily to
herself by walking with Him daily, taking up her cross daily to sacrifice
anything that was required, to walk with Him.

The Power of Unity
Teresa M. Daly-Crews
On Resurrection Sunday of this year I was blessed to minister to a
group of on fire believers in a small tribal area of the Philippines.
The unity of heart and mind was so dynamic that as we worshiped our
King you could feel that we were as ONE VOICE singing forth high
praises at the throne of God.
Tears filled my eyes as I saw these precious believers worship our
Lord in the spirit of humility and grace demonstrating the fact that
they possessed great wealth in the Kingdom of God. As I looked around
I could see the beauty of our Fathers spiritual house made up of
shining stones carefully laid upon a sure foundation. A house of God
made up of surrendered individuals who had only one motive in their
assembly, to glorify their King.
Though they held little in the way of natural possessions their
spiritual treasury was so great that there was not room to contain
it! As I closed my eyes and joined in their sacred assembly the
Spirit of God blessed me with a vision from the throne. The Spirit of
God lifted me up into outer space to view the earth from a distance.
I then saw the network of the Body of Christ laid upon the earth as a
net fitly joined together in unity. This spiritual net was made up of
tethers joined one to another without break. It was a net with a
specific spiritual purpose ordained by God, as a tether by definition
is a rope or chain used to confine and limit a beast.
As the final tether connection was completed, high praises began to be
sung in unity rising toward the throne of God as sweet smelling
incense. It was at this point that the earth began to quake beneath
the feet of the Bride of Christ. The whole earth reeled to and fro
ushering in the fullness of the presence of our Father. The
manifested light of His Glory descended upon the earth like a flood,
shining as liquid fire flowing to the uttermost parts of the earth.
There was not one area that did not feel the power of Father God as
He appeared in His Glory. This manifestation of the fullness of the
Glory of God will only occur when the Body had finally come into the
unity of heart and mind becoming ONE in the Spirit.
It is now time for Father to do the final preparation of the Bride of
Christ for the wedding feast so she can stand undefiled and holy
before the throne. Spotless for her groom, purified in His
righteousness and prepared with a unified heart and mind to show
forth His glory.
Father we stand at your most holy throne asking forgiveness for our
pride, arrogance and selfishness. We bring forth prayers and
supplications by the Spirit asking that you move upon us now,
bringing forth unity of heart, mind and spirit. Prepare us in the
beauty of holiness creating a Bride spotless and without wrinkle,
purified for your Son Jesus. Amen.
In HIS Service,
Like Peter

Yesterday, the Lord began speaking to me about Peter, and how many of His
children are in the same situation Peter faced..... Peter walked on the
water... had great revelations from the Lord, was privileged to see things
that transcended this earthly realm.... miracle after miracle performed by
the Lord....Yet.... was faced with the harsh truth about his own heart in
denying Jesus.
I feel that many are in the same boat as Peter....You have seen and known
and tasted of the Lord's goodness... His reality is beyond doubt to you...
you have witnessed the mighty moving of His power in and through you....
Yet.... you have or have gotten yourself in to a position which is equal to
denying the Lord... You have like Peter walked into doing certain things,
knowing so much better, yet you have entered these things without even
blinking it has seemed... and have acted like you didn't even know Him...
The Lord's grace to you is in the "crowing of the rooster", some thing He
will send your way that will remind you of the intimacy you once shared
with Him, of where you once walked in Him... And His Word to you is, like
Peter..., "Satan has desired to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for
you that your faith may not fail, and when you are converted, strengthen
your brethren..."
And after your repentance and restoration, your first encounter with Him
will not be one of recrimination, no guilt trip from the Lord, no
condemnation... no look that says "how could you?" but His question of
comfort will be....."Do you love Me?"..... And all else will flow from
that....

And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful
and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish
of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing
that moves on the earth. Genesis 1:28

19 "Give me your son," Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him
to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
20 Then he cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, have you brought tragedy
also upon this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?"
21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried to the
LORD, "O LORD my God, let this boy's life return to him!"
22 The LORD heard Elijah's cry, and the boy's life returned to him, and he
lived.
23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the
house. He gave him to his mother and said, "Look, your son is alive!" I King 17:19-23 (NIV)

http://www.riversofeden.com Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became
the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and
he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that
before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.
And about these also Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam,
prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy
ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of
all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all
the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet;
for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and
we shall be changed.

www.jesusrministries.com Joel 2:11-18 "And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for
his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for
the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your
heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And
rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your
God: ... Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn
assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the
elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the
bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch
and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give
not thine heritage to reproach.
