DEAR FORERUNNERS OF THE NEW,
I LOVE THE PROPHETIC!!! For me the most special prophecies are the ones in which God grants confirmation and perspective on present realities, even though they were released months or years beforehand. Most often it’s a stretch to even remember the words, at least with any measure of accuracy. Which is why WRITING YOUR WORDS DOWN and dating them makes this experience so much more enriching.
That said, the word we’re sharing with you today, originally posted on September 4, speaks DIRECTLY into our time.
The rediscovery of today’s important word began while contemplating two emerging events. First is the growing possibility of a direct confrontation with Russia as Biden approved the deployment of US missiles by Ukraine against the gigantic nation. Second is the continuing controversy within the prophetic movement over a vision of Donald Trump getting punched by God, as prophesied by a UK prophet who over years has conveyed an unfavorable view of him.
To many, myself included, a line was crossed when violence by God against Trump was conveyed as God’s will. And as inevitable, with no mention of mitigation through repentance or even a call to prayer for him. Two assassination attempts have shown that radicalized individuals, including jihadists, are already seeking to carry just such a desire. And to me their worst intentions seemed to be dangerously legitimized through this word.
But the point of this posting is neither about Trump nor this prophet. Seeking the Lord through the controversy, I felt a divine nudge to share the clear words He has given us on what a future shaped by His turnaround actually looks like. We began to unpack this yesterday on Turnaround Tuesday. I’ve been told is really worth seeing. CLICK HERE TO WATCH!
And during the broadcast I was reminded of the word below. I was BRIEF in referencing the word because I honestly could not recall the fullness of it. So here it is for you, in full, below. Keep in mind it references an election process that has now been won by President Trump.
BIRTH PANGS—BIRTHING THE NEW! PROPHETIC WORD
(Originally Published Sept 4, Labor Day Weekend)
On Sunday morning, Labor Day weekend, the Lord awakened me with a prophetic message that conveyed to us both hope for the future and a warning. I heard the Lord say prophetically:
“As of Labor Day 2024 I am bringing to birth My covenant purposes in a new way. Many forerunning ministries are now entering a new birthing phase. Sanctify your houses as houses of prayer, as angelic command posts, once again! Sanctify your houses as birthing rooms where I will birth My counsel from My council chambers. As with Rees Howells on his estate, so I call you to keep My watch for Israel and America.
And as prophesied, now understand that the world will face increasing birth pangs as My hour of birthing comes near.”
Birthing rooms, bringing forth God’s covenant purposes. The hope conveyed here is so powerful. You and I have the awesome privilege of partnering with Jesus to see dimensions of His Kingdom birthed in the earth. Even if it means birthing in the shadow of Herod’s throne, as when Mary’s travail in a humble Bethlehem stable birthed Jesus into the world.
Just the direction to re-consecrate our homes as houses of prayer, as birthing chambers, is so inspiring to me. Jolene and I acted on the word immediately after getting up, and the atmosphere of our home has tangibly shifted. We are experiencing a dimension of manifest intimacy with God that had previously proved elusive. Please consider acting on these invitations from the Lord as well.
Friends, remember Jesus’ admonition in Luke 19:46. “My house will be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.” Another translation of “robbers” is “plunderers.” We have been in a season where many “dens of thieves” and havens of protected abuse have been exposed. The collateral damage has often felt overwhelming. So many Kingdom expressions have seemingly been aborted.
Through this the Lord has been purifying His remnant with a holy resolve. Now Jesus is fanning the flame of many barely-burning lampstands. From house to house, from family to family and ministry to ministry, a genuine and grassroots house of prayer movement is being called forth for this season. From Heaven’s council words are not only going to be broadcast, they are going to be birthed. They are going to be prayed through and genuinely stewarded into kingdom manifestations.
Birthing requires focus. As Chris Mitchell, Jolene and I all brought out yesterday, God is calling us to stay focused on Jesus. There is a realm higher than that of political conflict. And your abiding in God’s secret place is not some “escape,” it is the gateway to bring genuine impact to our world—the 2024 elections included.
A word of caution though. The word of the Lord also conveyed that birth pangs or labor pains are also at hand. As recorded in Matthew 24, Jesus identified “the beginnings of birth pains” as wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, more. The implication from this word is that they will come with increased frequency.
Friends lets embrace this new birthing phase. Lets adjust what is necessary and keep the vigil the Lord is requiring of us!
