Transitioning is not a very comfortable place to be in. As in nature, when shifting from one season to another, our trees will be pruned to get rid of the unfruitful branches (the dead works of the flesh). God is … Continue reading
Beloved, God has been highlighting several things to me to share with you.
The Issachar anointing is to know the times and seasons and to know what to do.
12/12 (December 12th) was quickened to me as a sign of a Governmental shift and Apostolic fulness as we prepare for the greatest outpouring of God’s glory ever!
Let us also pray and believe God for a shift in our earthly governments – especially the US – to bring things in divine order – praying the Lord’s prayer!
I also have a burden in my spirit to keep praying for President Trump for grace and protection that there will be no impeachment.
SETTING YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER
There is a window of opportunity to get our lives in order in every respect by positioning ourselves to SEE with divine perspective from above.
As the year is drawing to an end, let us take stock of our lives: our relationship with God, family, friends, business, ministry, finances and health.
Love your enemies:
Matt.4:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous”.
Romans 12. 14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse. 19 “Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord. On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good”.
The thing is that everything has to come out of a heart of love.
Follow the example of Jesus! Love Judas! Give him all the privileges of your friends. This is grace and mercy!
Once you realize that Jesus loves the sinner, but not his sin, it sets you free to love the soul of a betrayer and really pray for his soul.
We have to come to the place of living in unconditional love, which is only possible if we forgive fully and ask the Holy Spirit to work the agape love into us
1. Increase and abound in love towards one another – 1 Thess.3:12
1 Peter 1:21: Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another fervently with a pure heart …
2. Arise! and step into your calling! Focus on what God has called you to do. Many have deviated from that – being totally overloaded with too much responsibility and “have-to’s”, because it is the drum role of the times. Everyone is in performance mode and focused on making money.
3. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God – He is going to deal with the money exchangers – those who merchandise the gospel. Beware! God is not mocked What you sow, you shall reap! His house is supposed to be a house of prayer – not merchandise!
The number 12 is also a number of God’s perfect plans and destiny for our lives and an indication that we have shifted into a Kairos time for the apostolic fullness in the New Testament Church to come forth as we are stepping into the greatest glory.

I sense that the Holy Spirit is calling the Bride to take time out in preparation for the Passover Celebration 2018. Come and sit at His feet, absorbing His full provision through the blood. Behold the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world and allow the Holy Spirit to imprint this glory into your spirit to be transformed by it.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18) Let Him wash you with the precious blood of Jesus – washing your heart, your emotions and mind – cleansing your soul and healing your wounds as you repent of the sin of negative mindsets, attitudes, words and actions. Forgive everyone who has hurt you. Release them and bless them with all of God’s goodness and grace. Let go of stress and worry, fears and negative expectations. Give it to the Lord in exchange for His peace and rest. Then set your heart to thanksgiving, praise and worship. Come into His refreshing by the Holy Spirit so that you are positioned to behold Him afresh in His passion for the whole world as He paid the utmost penalty for our sin to bring us into the liberty of the abundant resurrection life of the Spirit to become like Him, establishing His Kingdom on the earth. Also bring your best offering to the Lord, honoring Passover and what He has has done for us. In giving to Him at this special celebration of the Passover feast and the victory which He wrought for us on the cross, there is an activation of tremendous blessings to be released over our lives. PRAYER: Father God, I come into Your holy presence by the blood of the Lamb that was slain for me. Take me into a deeper revelation of the power of the blood and the inheritance I have received in Christ Jesus through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit. May you enjoy a glorious Passover Celebration with fresh revelation of the power of the Blood of Jesus and a fresh empowering to live the abundant life in Christ! In His Grace Elsabe Briers-Bakkes |
While fellowshipping with a friend in the glory, I had a vision and received the word, “New shoes for the new season.” I saw very different shoes: high heel shoes, sneakers and heavy boots. As soon as I mentioned it, my friend saw high platform shoes.
I understand that we will have new shoes for new assignments, which might be very different from one another, requiring different gear in the natural and in the spirit. This of course requires to be fine-tuned to the Spirit, hearing and promptly heeding His voice in total obedience – on the ready for the demand of the new assignment to walk onto whichever ground He chooses you to be.
KINGLY, REIGNING AUTHORITY
With having heard from God comes a kingly, reigning authority with keen discernment, being properly “shod” for every occasion where we stepped into – in preparation for the gospel of peace, with the Word of God in our mouths to shift situations, cities, regions and countries into the new sound.
NEW, HIGHER PLATFORMS AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES
We will also step up on to new, higher platforms and into new opportunities and we will have to have the proper spiritual preparation for the specific assignment. From the place of intimate relationship with the King, we will be well-equipped with His Word of authority, wielding this sword of the Spirit for powerful displays of His glory.
We will also need divine wisdom to be easily yielded to the Spirit, flexible to move in suddenlies and be “on the ready” to move in quick obedience to fulfill His assignments.
”But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated (or yielded = flexible) full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 3:17
Pure hearts and clean hands are a pre-requisite to carry the pure sound and power of His glory, establishing God’s will in the earth as it is in heaven with signs and wonders following.
So, be prepared to step into any occasion that God has assigned for you, knowing that He is the Breaker, going before you, breaking through any opposition as your Deliverer, making the crooked places straight before you as you bring the good news to the seven mountains of society.
CONFIRMATION OF THE WORD
The same evening after the vision I went out with my daughter. It started raining and I was running for shelter when my right shoe, which has a kind of “wedge” platform, became detached from the bottom part. My speed was broken and I had to “drag” the shoe along on the ground to be able to walk.
In reflecting on it, I realized that God was confirming the Word which I received in the morning. I love these shoes, but they are about 5 years old and I wore them a lot – even had new soles put on them as they are most comfortable and pretty and I wore them everywhere for every occasion.
I sense God is saying that in the spirit our old shoes (habits and ways of going about our life and ministry), even though they are comfortable, have to make way for the new. We cannot cling to the old (I have already repaired them with glue and found that the other one was also coming apart).
The old needs to be left behind, coming out of our comfort zones and be open for new approaches to different situations and different spheres of influence, otherwise our momentum will be slowed down and we will be hindered in our walk – especially as God is about to pour out the glory rain in new dimensions, where we will be dancing in the rain of His Spirit with hinds’ feet in high places, not being hindered by negative things happening in the natural, distracting our focus and flexibility. (It only rained for a few minutes from the moment I left my car until I went into the building where we met).
I also sense that a new authority is coming as we are upgraded to walk onto new, higher platforms wielding the sword of the Spirit over situations, regions and countries, releasing the Word of God out of intimate relationship with the King of glory.
Lately I have been very aware of the fact that we need to listen intentionally to the Holy Spirit before opening our mouths, speaking only what we hear our Father is saying.(John 12:49)
James 1: 19-20: ”Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.”
“Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” –
Ps. 141: 2-3 ”
Our mouths should only carry the Word of the Lord in the authority that comes from encounter. It shifts the status quo and brings divine order and perspective for those who have ears to hear.
2 Cor.2:17: “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.”
It is an awesome privilege to walk in close communion-union with God, but it brings a holy fear and the responsibility of speaking only that which we hear Him saying, which is holy.
John 12:49
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, He gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.”
I want to encourage everyone who reads this to consecrate yourself afresh to the Lord in a holy walk and talk, listening constantly to hear His instructions and be willing and yielded to walk it out in absolute obedience – clothed in the armor of light, the Christ, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Eph.6:15), speaking His Word with boldness and authority, establishing His Kingdom!
Rom.10:15 ”And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace”.
We, as born-again Christians, have the privilege to bring the “Good Tidings”, that announces the reigning power of the King, Christ Jesus! Let us refrain from speaking about the works of darkness, or meddle with quarrels. We are to take the place of the third party that brings godly perspective and authority through the Word from our Father.
Jubilee Bible 2000: Is.52:7:
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace, that brings good tidings of good, that publishes saving health, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigns!”
As mature sons and daughters of the King, clothed in the Christ in the armor of Light, we are armed withTruth, Salvation, Righteousness, having the Faith of God. We are ready to bring the Gospel of peace with the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, while staying tuned to Him, praying much in tongues.(Eph.6: 12-18) Fitly joined together, as every joint supplies, (Eph.4:16) we form a formidable army, taking the Kingdom by force in sync with the movement of heaven. Hallelujah!
