The Link Between Your Money and Your Destiny
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” —Matthew 6:24 (NIV)Jesus made it plain when He said, “You cannot serve both God and money.” Yet many people serve money without ever making a conscious choice to do so. By not learning how to manage our money, we become servants to our finances. So many of us have a heart that wants to boldly serve God, but we end up serving money by default—simply because of our situation in life.As we learn how to manage and control our finances, we will start mastering our money. And the thing that I like the most is that in the process of Money Mastery, it becomes possible to learn how to make money. We can learn how to cause an increase of finances in our lives so that we can fully serve God.
Cindy Jacob Shares Prophetic Vision of Massive Wave
As I was praying, I saw a vision of a huge wave, and the Lord spoke to me that there is a momentum gathering of the power of the Holy Spirit. A wave gathers power and goes towards the shore, and I see that there's going to be many, many people working together. There's going to be many groups working together.This is a time of not only acceleration but momentum. I see momentum for businesses who are believing to multiply your numbers. I see momentum for people who are saying, “My life seems like it's stuck, like I'm not going anywhere.” Well, the Holy Spirit is going to reveal to you – this may sound funny – where to “surf” the big waves.And the Lord says, “My child, this is up to you. What do you want to do? Do you want to be in a place where you're not in the move, or you're not in the momentum? Or do you want to be at the forefront? Do you want to be part of the wave that is gathering for the harvest of souls? I will open a door for you. Don't feel useless.”
Cindy Jacobs Prophesies Against the Spirit of Delay
The Lord says, “My children, didn't I tell you not to let your dreams die? Some of you are stuck because you have just said, ‘Well, that dream is gone.' Didn't I say there was a convergence of dreams? Didn't I say that there were prayers that you have prayed that are all coming together?”I feel an admonition from the Lord that many of you heard what He said, but you didn't really believe it. The Lord shows me that there are many people in the body of Christ today who are heartsick. And your heart is so full of unbelief. You've gotten to a place where the spirit of unbelief has overcome you. In the name of Jesus, we bind and break the spirit of unbelief.And the Lord says, “There's nothing too hard for Me. If you stay stuck, then it will be because you did not apply My principles.”
Prophecy: Lying Prophets Will be Exposed in Media
Just as the Lord has raised up watchmen and watchwomen in this hour to pray for this nation and report what they see in the distance, so are there secular prophets and watchmen who are broadcasting false information and biased predictions aimed at undermining the agenda of heaven. Many of these false prophets manipulate the facts and skew our perceptions in order to keep us from learning the truth.Those who are being used of the Lord to sound the alarm are often ridiculed, mocked or totally ignored by the mainstream media. The challenge we have faced is to see through the confusion in order to see God's plan at work. As believers continue to pray for those who report the news in the secular arena, we can be encouraged by a story in the Old Testament that sheds light on God's higher purpose and strategy.In 1 Kings 22:13-37, the story is told of how God placed a lying spirit into the prophets of King Ahab's court, specifically so he would be “enticed” to listen—and thus be destroyed. Ahab had continually ignored the voice of the Lord and was rebellious in his heart. Because God saw the force of Ahab's false prophets at work, He used their own self-interest and greed against them. The king's ego led him to believe the false narrative, and he went into battle without the Lord's blessing.
Discovering the Power of Voice-Activated Breakthroughs
God has destined us for victory. He has created us to be overcomers in this life. He who is born of God overcomes the world and our victory is intimately connected with our faith. (1 John 5:4) We realize that God has already given every man the measure of faith. (Rom. 12:3) As well, we also know that faith “comes” by hearing and that our faith needs to be in God's words coming alive in our hearts. (Rom. 10:17) Do we need more faith? Most likely not.Luke 17:5-6 “And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.”The issue is the displacement of faith or faith heading the wrong direction. What we do need is faith activated in our hearts in regards to the things of God, the heart of God and what He wants to do. God enlarges what He has already placed inside of us – the vision, the scope and the reach of the possibilities of Christ in us the hope of glory.
Lana Vawser: Provision is Coming From Every Direction
Recently, I had a vision where I saw lots of things coming at many people in the Body of Christ, from various different directions. I saw there were those in the Body of Christ who feel like they are “juggling” so much right now with issues and different things happening in different areas.There was a discouragement that was attempting to take hold and the words, “NOT AGAIN,” were resounding loudly. But louder than those words were the words that God was thundering. He thundered over His people: “PROVISION IS COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION!”
Harnessing the Power of Dreams, a How-To Intro
Writing down 100 dreams is a well-known discipline, championed by many, including my hero Danny Silk. (Great listen here: http://podcasts.ibethel.org/en/podcasts/living-the-dream). But why write them down? Why should I bother?The power of written dreams (and declarations, and affirmations, etc.) can never be underestimated. Let me illustrate with a story very, very close to my heart.Funny Story.My wife Michelle, is hilarious, hilarious in the sense of being unknowingly prophetic (can you say accurate?), and hardly aware of it. (I find myself both marveling and chuckling at what she does, without her even knowing it, constantly.) She doesn’t know the thing she is saying or doing has prophetic power and is making lasting, positive impacts on others around her, and her own life as well.
What Does Prophetic Reformation Look Like?
I have been meditating on the changing role of the prophetic office in light of the reformation of the Church.I have been equipping prophetic people for 18 years, and suddenly I found myself reevaluating all that the Lord has so graciously entrusted me to do.It was as if some “boredom” had set in. I began asking, “What is my role in this season?” My focus shifted from personal prophecy to discerning the time and season in which we live in the NOW. This word was birthed as I meditated on the Scripture in Jeremiah 1, the “prophet's call” to build, root out, pull down, overthrow, build and plant. The call was to BE the voice and speak with authority over nations and kingdoms. Anyone called to the office of the prophet will have power to uproot, stamp out, destroy and upend, rebuild and plant anew.
Exposing Jezebel’s Influence
We are in a Last Days battle for the true and pure prophetic to come forth. It is a battle between the demonic powers of Jezebel’s influence and the promised restoration of the spirit of Elijah. In the natural, Biblical setting, Queen Jezebel manipulated King Ahab and pressured the prophets into hiding. Elijah came forth with an authentic prophetic mantle to dismantle the ruling false power.
As it was in this historical context, there are parallel lessons for us to learn and apply in our day. It is time to Expose Jezebel’s Influence and for the authority and anointing of the true prophetic to disarm this fierce, dark force. Let’s look at Queen Jezebel’s background and the tactics she demonstrated.
Prophecy: Get Ready for Early Births
This month I received an update on the prophetic word and encounter I had last year on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
It was September 19, 2018, and I had a very powerful prophetic dream and spiritual encounter with the Lord. I released this prophetic word, “Ancient Paths and Time of Transition” in October 2018 and also on my Spirit Connection Webcast.
This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.'”Jeremiah 6:16 NIV
In the Yom Kippur dream I saw a narrow doorway that would only allow a person to go through it. The doorway was leading to the New Year and our future.
Beni Johnson: The Prophetic Act of Communion
When I take Communion, I take it as a prophetic act, applying it to any situation that is weighing on my heart. A prophetic act is a Holy Spirit-inspired physical action that disrupts the atmosphere. Sometimes, I’ll feel as though God wants me to do something tangible to activate something that I’m praying into. During those moments, I simply ask the Holy Spirit, “What should I do about this?” Then, I’ll feel prompted to—for example—take my shofar into the prayer house that we have at Bethel or go to a specific place to take Communion. In completing the prophetic act, we are releasing something into the atmosphere that helps the answer to our prayer to break through.
In Exodus, God had the Israelites kill a lamb and put the blood over their doors, signaling to the Spirit of God to pass by without harming the family inside. Moses instructed the Israelites…
Prophecy: North and South Korea Will Reconcile in 2019
Korea will be rescued from the threat of North Korea, and their dominant control. Intellectual gifts will be released bringing breakthrough in many disciplines and will greatly impact the world.
South Korea will shift to a Sheep Nation, and Christianity will rise to a large percentage. South Korea will become a great ally of the United States assisting in bringing freedom to North Korea.
North and South Korea will reconcile, and families, communities and shared gifts given to Korea by God will be healed. When this happens, a great rejoicing will fill the earth and every nation.
Prophecy: Africa Will Break Through With Innovative Discoveries
Africa is coming out of years of wars and poverty. There will be a radical change in government and politics. The wealth of their recourses will find a new market managed with character. The ravaging of their tribes and communities with disease, poverty and conflict will shift this year.
Africa will begin to lead out in innovative discoveries. The think tank of African communities has the blessing of heavenly ideas. Soon they will be linked with people who can help take these discoveries and use them as blessings in other nations.
A greater unity within Africa will come this year. Prior to 2019, there have been many factions and divisions in Africa. This has increased tribalism and competition at any cost.
Abusing the import and export business of Africa will be confronted. Even crime which has benefited greatly from their resources will be turned around. The Lord has heard their cry and will turn this injustice around.
2019: A Year for Women to Rise Up, Spiritual Acceleration
I want to share with you what God has been saying for 2019, and I’m very excited about everything ahead.
This is a compilation of words sent to us from the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders and many of the well-known prophets from 65 nations during the Global Prophetic Summit. As I was looking through everything, it’s really amazing, but one thematic thing, which excited me, was that God’s going to use women in a greater way!
Below is a summary of the prophetic words being released for 2019. Watch the video for more details and additional teaching on some of the concepts and how to apply them to your life.
Jentezen Franklin Promises ‘A Thousand Times More' in 2019
This coming year—2019—is going to be powerful. It's going to be the year of a thousand times more.
Wouldn't you like to have a thousand times more of God's presence in your life and in the lives of your children and grandchildren? How about a thousand times more of God's favor in your church, your business and your home?
I didn't pull that number out of thin air. We find the almighty God promising that very blessing in Deuteronomy 1:11: “May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times more numerous and bless you, just as He has promised you!”
Prophetic Dream About President Donald Trump's Inheritance
On Friday morning I had a very significant dream, which I want to share with you today. I believe this is my fourth dream in as many years where President Trump is featured. It was so unusual I almost dismissed it.
Ever been there? But in processing with Jolene we both realized just how significant the dream actually was. The interpretation came easily, and revelation just began to flow.
In the dream I saw myself standing next to President Trump by a body of water with a quaint harbor. President Trump was wearing a dark gray suit and a dark gray tweed overcoat. I was on his left side, and there were one or two advisors on his other side. We were on the top of a hill looking out over wooden docks and boats. Blanketing the hill were beautiful spring flowers, yellow and in full bloom.
