Whispers in the Silence

Posted on by

Sitting in silence of the early morning. My heart reflecting the still waters of the pond in front of me, mirroring the tree trunks like silent statues. Reminding me of oaks of righteousness, planted by the river of living waters. Aww! He is talking about my meditation before Him.

My eye catches the light on a spider’s string, seemingly suspended in mid-air, it’s silken thread vibrating with rainbow colors in the slight breeze. I marvel at the immense wisdom of Elohim, the Creator of heaven and earth, having His eye on the sparrow, the lilies of the field and a little spider showing off His creative genius. How much more does He value His children!

My heart overflows in exuberant praise, mixed with tongues flowing from my belly in living streams as His presence washes over me. How good is our God! How mighty! How praiseworthy! How generous in His love – inspiring me to be generous with the provision He has given me! Generous in love, grace, mercy, lovingkindness, encouragement, uplifting, practical help in the needs of others in whichever form.

Prophetic Word in preparation for Rosh Hashanah

Aside

God is drawing His Bride into deeper and higher places in Him to come into deeper revelation of Himself and of heaven.

So many of God’s children have been hurt and offended and as a result have hardened their hearts, having built great fortresses of self-defense around them. 

As the scales fall off their eyes, these walls are coming down which have been built up in self-defense to not get hurt again.

The RELIGIOUS SPIRIT IS BEING BROUGHT DOWN!

The religious, hypocritical show of godliness with self-righteous self-justification is coming down too! Hallelujah!

People are being freed up to love unconditionally as they suddenly see themselves and others through enlightened eyes of their understanding with the love-eyes of God. Repentance and forgiveness flow freely, accompanied by great joy of a new-found freedom in the Spirit.

The Scriptures are coming alive in a new way as the scales are coming off, speaking deep into hearts that are seeking Him.

God is breaking His mature sons through in their true identity as a royal priesthood, having stepped into the authority of kings, reigning together with Christ from above and administering His Kingdom in the earth through their kingly mandates.

Many are stepping into the power and freedom of true unfeigned love for the brethren. As the love flow is released, miracles are at the order of the day, breaking others free from bondage to love with abandonment. It’s a love revolution that is taking place! The result is a fresh unity in the body of Christ, with God’s commanded blessing of life on Kingdom exploits. Hallelujah!

PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED SPEEDILY as we step into the Melchizedeck anointing of our royal priesthood. We are to build worship altars everywhere we go and teach others to enter into the heavenly realms. Many are now accessing the heavenly realm, having glory encounters with the Lord as they give themselves to His love.

Somewhere somebody prayed, maybe you yourself have been praying about things in your life which do not fit His image! Maybe for a long time and then suddenly we see the breakthroughs!

Even the answers to prayers are speeded up, because as we get intertwined with Him, in His love and in His Word, praying from His heart, He answers our prayers.

The Year of the eye and the mouth!

As the scales fall of our eyes in the light of His countenance, we see in a new way – seeing His plans and purposes and then speaking it forth in prophetic utterance. Remember, Paul admonishes everyone to earnestly desire the gifts, but especially that we should prophesy (1 Cor.14:1).

As we spend time in His heavenly counsel, being seated together with Christ in heavenly places, we are equipped to administer His Kingdom rule in the earth as ambassadors of the Kingdom.

All glory to God

TRUE RICHES

Aside

Beloved, it is my greatest desire to have intimate fellowship with you!  For us to have an ongoing, unbroken communication in the flow of My river of life. This is up to you, since I am waiting for your response to the wooing of My Spirit.

 There is so much that I want to reveal to you, but we need time together while the world is shut out.

 The chambers of My treasures are available to you if only you would ask. It is in the asking, seeking, and knocking that revelation is poured out. The degree of your hunger is my measuring stick and My eyes are on your heart – watching for true love and desire for Me.

 How much longer will your preferences be pulled away from Me to the interests of outside stimuli which are only temporary and can never satisfy? Even the good works which have not been initiated by Me, will be burned like hay and stubble.

 Come up here, seek for the true riches in My glory which are waiting for laid down lovers.

PROGRESSIVE REVELATION In the GLORY

Aside

I received this Word in 2011 and I feel that it is very applicable now, especially since there is much emphasis on prophetic intercession in this season. As we listen for the new heavenly sound (that God is saying “now” over the situations we pray for), we can release it as prophetic declarations in the glory and it will manifest swiftly.

RECEIVING A FRESH SOUND FROM HEAVEN in PROGRESSIVE REVELATION

I had a very powerful dream:

A new powerful sound was coming forth, seemingly from a recording. Nobody knew where it came from, but it was like the sound of many waters. It seemed familiar as though I knew it from a previous revival, but at the same time it seemed unknown. I knew it was coming from heaven and then it was as though I was enveloped in a river of this sound. I was totally overwhelmed by it and drenched in the power of this sound.

In the next scene in the dream I was in a meeting of a local church, still carrying the impact of the sound that I just experienced. A video was playing (of a previous meeting) and words were on the screen against a background of blue and green streamers, being waved around in worship – and another new sound was coming forth – never heard before!

I could make out a sentence of the song on the screen about unity. The people were abandoned to the Lord in extravagant worship.

At the same time a new video was being recorded by an unknown video-and-sound- technician (who was very knowledgeable and whom I have never seen before), while the head intercessor (whom I know) was dancing under the anointing against the background of the video. The intercessor looked much younger than in reality and the whole church was taken up in worshipping the Lord through the dance-intercession. It seemed that her youth has been renewed and also her physical and spiritual energy.

I realized that for those who are in one accord in prayer, waiting upon the Lord, worshiping together, a new sound will be released from heaven through the Holy Spirit, igniting the church with a fresh fire, exploding in song and dance. New media technicians will emerge, recording these glory explosions, taking it to the nations and the fire of the Holy Ghost will spread around the globe.

God is awakening His Bride to the power of corporate Worship-Intercession where a river of revelation is released every time when we rise above our present situations, releasing it all to the Lord in agreement with Him as our Intercessor who lives to intercede for us. This is Philippians 4:6-7 in action:
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

The Word shows us the pattern: first by prayer and supplication we bring our requests to God, releasing it to Him in faith and trust, which is expressed in thankful praise that takes us up in the glory of His Presence. Then the river of peace starts to flow and in it we are transformed from one degree of glory to the next. Here, in the corporate anointing, in one accord, we get saturated in His Presence and empowered by the sound of His voice in fresh revelation upon revelation to rise up and flow in our different gifts and anointings to do the works of the ministry.

Revelation is progressive as we position ourselves in worship-intercession to receive the fresh sound from heaven, getting drenched in it and allowing the flow of the river to bring us in a new place in Christ.

ASK, SEEK & KNOCK

Aside

Beloved, this is a pivotal time to enter into deeper revelation of the mysteries of God, as you ask, seek and knock.

Understandably the key assignments of the enemy to rob you of these glory encounters in the Spirit are through diversion and distraction. Identify these tactics and actively resist being pulled away by good activities, which pull you away from the best I have for you. Set your face like flint, following the things of the Spirit in passionate pursuit.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, but intentionally practice His Presence.

“Occupy the Revelation God Has Given You!” Faith Marie Baczko

Posted on by

“Occupy the Revelation God Has Given You!” Faith Marie Baczko, Oakville, Ontario, Canada

 

In my last word, I shared about a new season I believe we were entering into on 11/11/18, where many would be leaving the wilderness warfare behind with the strength and fortitude to possess their promised lands. I would like to share some keys God has provided to enter into this new season and hold this position. The first is regarding the new wineskin.

The New Wineskin

The Lord showed me that the mind of the Body of Christ is the wineskin that must now become new to contain His new wine. We sometimes associate the new wineskin with a new Church structure or new model, however new models and structures having the capacity to contain God’s new dynamic, comes first with the renewing of the mind. This is a supernatural reformation infusing us with the ability to receive and process the new wine. Transformation can then take place as a natural progression of the outpouring of new wine—an outpouring carrying the vision and DNA for the new season, containing fresh revelations of the majesty of the exalted Christ.

The mind must be renewed and refashioned to withstand the challenges of the new season we have entered in order to rightly comprehend and process the purposes of God in it. The mind must be rewired to receive and accept a fresh spiritual dynamic intended to take us into a new dimension of God’s glory.

“It is imperative that we overcome the darkness and the flesh, and begin to occupy the revelations God has given us, and occupy and live in His Word by camping out on it until we fully believe it and it become woven into our DNA!”

Transformation into the new wineskin requires that the old has to go. The old is characterized by small mindedness, religious mindsets bound to control, un-Christlike attitudes devoid of God’s love and compassion, and irrelevant traditions no longer serving the Lord that are actually working to hinder His purposes in the new work.

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes.” (Rom. 12:2 The Passion Translation)

The new wineskin is a mind that possesses the capacity to change, to be transformed, to perceive and to track with the movements of God, to hold fresh revelation, released in appointed times for appointed times. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Is. 43:19). We are greatly restricted in the perceiving of God’s new thing by limited thinking. Our vision must be enlarged to see the depth, the height and the width of the fullness of the God’s majestic picture in order to comprehend His strategies and partner with Him for bringing it into reality.

Vision for God’s new thing can be received by the mind that has been transformed and made pliable through brokenness, humility, love and compassion, and the deep desire to bow to the will of God. New levels and new dimensions of glory await those willing to make necessary changes. Let’s stretch our vision in this hour to see something more marvelous than we have seen previously.

Occupy The Revelation

The old wineskin cannot occupy new territory. The Lord has given much revelation—whether for my life or ministry—that has given me great joy, hope and expectation. However, with the trials of life, I sometimes find myself returning to an old place of uncertainty, once again seeking Him for direction. I was in such a place when I heard Him say, “Occupy the revelation!” With this statement came an understanding that we must not lose the anointed, supernatural seed and the divine impact to our spirit, which comes from heavenly, Holy Spirit revelation. The revelation (rather than moving us on to take spiritual ground) can become lost because of the mind’s inability or lack of capacity to hold on to it! (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

Our soul is comprised of mind, will and emotion and is easily impacted by the trials and circumstances of life if not fiercely guarded and protected by faith in Christ—the Divine Shield that protects from all the elements of life. If the mind is not guarded it will easily be infiltrated by fear, doubt and unbelief. These are the fruits of an orphan spirit. The thief will always attempt to steal the revelation and push us off the ground God intends for us to occupy.

The Orphan Spirit Breeds:

• Insecurity that convinces you that you are not worthy and therefore don’t belong.

• Doubt and unbelief that convinces you things will never change and that you are not capable of holding it if they do!

• Fear of taking the risk to believe and therefore act, and if you do, you will be making a mistake.

• Intimidation and fear of man that says “you are not good enough” and convinces you to stay hidden.

Let’s present ourselves before the Lord and be willing to receive understanding of old negative mindsets which can hinder our perspective and our ability to hold revelation. This includes any mindsets that are limited, rigid and restricted, and unable to embrace the glorious destiny God has prepared for the lives of His people. The old wineskin is one of fear, lack and limitation. God’s intention for His people is that we receive the spirit of sonship which convinces us that we are sons and daughters of God—fully accepted in the beloved, prepared and equipped for the greatest move on Earth!

“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.'” (Rom. 8:15 NIV)

Let’s begin to occupy the revelations God has given to us and live in His Word by camping out on it until we fully believe it and it becomes woven into our DNA! It’s time to forcefully resist the lies of the enemy, know that we are fully accepted in the Beloved and move out in the power of His might.

Decide and Declare It

How do we occupy the revelation of His Word for us? God spoke to my heart and said, “You decide!” There were times when I sought the Lord for details of His intentions for my life or the ministry He had given me, then I would get frustrated when I did not hear or could not understand His direction. I began to understand that as we grow in maturity in the stature of Christ, having our minds continually renewed, we become mothers and fathers of the faith, and God trusts us to make certain decisions. God trusts us to move in sync with Him, within His will, within the parameters of His Word and the revelations and visions He has given us for our lives. He said in His Word: “You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways” (Job 22:28).

“The mind must be renewed and refashioned to withstand the challenges of the new season we have entered, in order to rightly comprehend and process the purposes of God in it.”

The Greek word for ways is Derek, and it means: “a road, a course of life or mode of action.” God has supplied us with authority in His Word to decide on the course of our lives and the actions we will take based on our agreement with His will. He has given us the power to frame our lives within His Word, just as He framed the worlds with His Word at creation and created the visible with the invisible substance of faith (Heb. 11:3). God has left room for us to decide in the paths of our destiny, in order to fulfill the Scripture, “Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart” (Ps. 37:4).

Our decision to agree with the heavenly vision moves us onto new spiritual ground that releases God’s favor and opens new doors of opportunity. Then as we make the decision to step out on to new paths, standing on the Word of God and decreeing and declaring His truth, the vision is given the potential to become reality.

Faith That Sees

In applying this to faith, when a revelation is received from God and is observed by faith and seen in vision, if it is believed and called forth into reality—the invisible becomes visible. By faith we call forth the things that are not as though they are. Faith sees with spiritual eyes and nurtures the vision with God-given imagination; the vision takes hold of the person and because of faith they will not let go until it has come forth.

The vision is conceived on the inside by observing it in spirit and becomes established by declaration of faith words. Our internal capacity to conceive must increase, and the wineskin of the mind refashioned to contain the largeness of God’s revelation. We hold on to it by faith and occupy the revelation by giving it a place of prominence in our hearts. The battle to give birth is a decision to fight for what we believe. Begin to SEE the door to opening to your opportunity, visualize it, embrace it and declare it!

“By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.” (Heb. 11:11)

After recently reading this passage, my spirit became very stirred as I saw all these principles come together powerfully in Sarah—I saw something marvelous that I had not seen before. Firstly, the miracle came forth by faith—Sarah believed! Secondly, where did her faith come from? She counted Him faithful who had promised. Sarah had experienced the faithfulness of God in her life on many occasions. The word for faith used in this Scripture is pistis and means: conviction of the truthfulness of God. Sarah received strength to conceive. The Greek word for strength is Dunamis which means: miraculous, supernatural power. (Photo via Unsplash)

Sarah’s mind was renewed by faith in God—she saw, she believed, she trusted, thereby establishing a foundation of faith for all future generations. Sarah decided, she made the decision to act on the promise that marked out the course of her life. She occupied the revelation and nurtured it and brought forth a child in old age! Sarah’s faith released the explosive, miraculous, Dunamis power of God to break forth in her body and in her life.

I encourage you to begin to see and observe God’s vision for your life. Occupy the revelations He has given you—hold on to them. Decide in agreement with God, then frame the future within those parameters with His Word. God has given us partnership and sonship.

He’s saying: “Decide! Tell Me what is your heart’s desire! Move out within the parameters of your life based on what I have given you in vision. You have the mind of Christ. Decide, declare it and it will be established, and light will shine on the course you have taken!” (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Convergence

Posted on by
CONVERGENCE
This is a time frame in which we need to take stock of where we are and where we are going in the Lord’s time-table – getting an eagle’s eye view of what God has been doing in our lives throughout the past year and where we stand in His plans and purposes for our lives. 
The Year 5777

We have entered the Hebraic New Year 5777, denoting extraordinary grace (Number 5) to bring the fulness (Number 7) and completeness of the 7-fold Spirit in expression.

CONVERGENCE – 

The Word “Convergence” has been ringing in my ear for a while now and I see that those who have been earnestly seeking the Lord are now going to step into a convergence where everything that has been deposited in them through the Holy Spirit is coming together in great fruitfulness and effectiveness in this season to fulfill their ultimate purpose.  

Many have felt frustrated because they have been longing for fulfillment, not knowing exactly how to to implement their gifts, talents and expertise in perfect sync with God’s plans for their lives.   But for those who have been seeking His face, walking in dependence on His leading, allowing the Holy Spirit to bring transformation in their lives (2 Cor.3:18) there is a convergence to step into their ultimate purpose.  Everything is coming together now in a convergence with heaven’s plans and our readiness, having been molded in the Potter’s hand and having been forged in the fire of affliction to be made ready for use in His hands.  The mature sons and daughters of God are arising to step into their predestined role, clothed in love and and the armor of light, wearing the apron of humilty.

All that God has deposited in us by the Spirit in the form of gifts, talents, skills, impartation, endowments, wisdom, understanding and revelation are at a convergence point, coming together in fulness of expression of His glory for such a time as this for His glory demonstration and at the same time fitly joined together with others in the body who have been prepared likewise. It is like different streams coming together forming one great river of glory in the unity of faith.  Great exploits will be done in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:15King James Version (KJV)

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

FRESH ALIGNMENTS
I sense that the LIGHT WILL COME ON in a suddenly for many who have been in the “Pushing” stage of birthing their vision and there will be CLARITY of PURPOSE and fresh ALIGNMENT with others in the body who are like-minded to break through into fulness of our promises.New ministry teams are going to be divinely “put together” by the Holy Spirit in unexpected suddenlies.

Many have been in pressing in for greater depths and heights in the spirit and I sense that we have come to a pivotal point with the Jewish celebration of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. 

We as Christians are celebrating the glorious victory of Calvary today, knowing we have a High Priest according to the order of Melchizedeck who lives to intercede for us (Heb.7:17,25) having paid for our sins once and for all.

We are worshiping the Lord anew for His immense love for us in His sacrifice.  In this past year the Lord has very intensely schooled me in His love walk (still learning) and I know that it is the ONE thing we will be tested on, namely, “Did you learn to love?” (Bob Jones).

Agape love is the principal empowerment for the extrordinary miracles that we are going to walk in.

1 Thess. 3:12-13  “And may the Lord cause you to increase and excel and overflow in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may strengthen and establish your hearts without blame in holiness in the sight of our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints (God’s people).”

BREAKTHROUGH IS IN THE AIR

As I am writing this I suddenly had a quickening in my spirit, sensing Breakthrough into new avenues, new line-ups and new connections coming forth.  It is happening NOW and as we can see it and align with it in the spirit realm, it will manifest in the natural.

This “convergence” is bringing new line-ups by the Spirit with the like-minded being merged together for God’s specific purposes to be accomplished – being fitly connected to our “tribe” to accomplish God’s purposes in the earth, having no agenda of our own, walking in humility and love, shining His glory light into the world.

Although we are not under the law anymore, God does speak very prominently during His appointed feast times and we should incline our ears for wisdom and understanding during this important time frame – making adjustments and coming into a repositioning for this new year – especially listening for His instructions and watching where He is aligning us with others in the body who have the same vision and similar giftings.

NEW MEASURES OF THE  ANOINTING

New measures of the anointing are about to be demonstrated by the Holy Spirit through those who have been faithfully pursueing the Lord,  resulting in wondrous miracles.

PARADIGM SHIFTS

In order to flow with these “out of the box” demonstrations of God’s power we need to step out of our old limited mindset. It is a walk in the wisdom of total yieldedness (James 3:17) to the Holy Spirit, not questioning His ways, wanting to rely on the old way of doing things but ready to follow His leading in absolute obedience.

THE YEAR OF THE SWORD

Much has already been written on this, but I understand that, as we get saturated with the Word, abiding in the living power of it (John 15:7), as we abide in Christ, the power to release the “impossible” by the unction of the Holy Ghost will come into effect for everyone who believes. 

In 2 Sam.23:9-10 we read of one of David’s mighty men, Eleazar:

“He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.”

When the Word of God is absorbed into our spirt, and we become one with that Word by faith (the sword clinging to our hand), abiding in Him and abiding in His Word, we can ask anything and it shall be given to us. (John 15:7).  As we speak out that Word, it becomes the Sword of the Spirit in our mouth (Eph.6:17), angels are put in action to perform God’s Word (Ps. 103:20) and the victory is secured, even with the spoils taken.  That is how powerful God’s Word is!  All we need to do is to incline our ear to hear what the Spirit is saying, come into agreement with it and release it into the airways!  Hallelujah!


I am praying that each of us (those reading this) be fine-tuned and connected to the Power Source to walk in the works which He has preordained for us.

Blessings

Enlarge the Place of Your Tent

I woke up with the Word, “Enlarge the place of your tent” and then the awareness that HIGH PRAISES should accompany my vision.

IS.54 “Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.”
