This whole thing started in March with the word “now”. I knew it meant the promises of God.

Within a week, I lost my job. In fact, the Monday after we got back from Portland, I started packing my stuff up because I knew I no longer worked at Genesis. And, I knew that Jordan and Cameron would be coming back to CO. Within a month or so, that would be in motion.

Shortly after God said “now”, I got three phone calls in two weeks, which all said I was going into full-time ministry. God then called me into a fast (seven days), which is where He showed me that I had been disobedient to the call to ministry. Laura made a vow a long time ago on never being married to a full-time minister. I repented for us.

Nashville came up during this time as well. Two separate phone conversations, and I would be positioning for that.

I went in faith and was led to Grace Center and then Grace Chapel. The chapter on Grace Chapel never reached a conclusion. I still dont know what means there.

But, God was very clear when I arrived.

1. Be led by the Spirit
2. One day at a time
3. Hear God for myself

I broke my foot on 8/6 and had to come back to CO. During that initial period, I started seeing 818 everywhere. It was a prophetic statement about the butterfly coming to birth. 717 (completion in maturity) was ending, and I was coming into the new thing God has for me. Be led by the Spirit because sons (mature sons) are led by the Spirit.

I stay at my folks’ house when I return, and my bedroom has butterflies on them – on both sides of the room. Also, I was getting “be still and know that I am God” several times.

I had a dream that said dont get ahead of God. Again, be led. And, Tracy Fox

had a vision for me with double yellow lines on the road. He said dont pass God by and dont get ahead.

Just yesterday, I saw a facebook post where the lady said not to get ahead of God. It was a good reminder.

When I got back, the LORD was really stressing how I hear God for me. He called me into greater intimacy and communion. Really guard our time together. And, He continued to stress being led by the Spirit.

Romans 8 and Galatians 4 are paramount for this season.

We are co-heirs with Jesus. We get all that He gets. But, our ability to access it (naturally and spiritually) ties to our

maturity. We must be led by the Spirit. The inheritance is saved up and watched over by guardians until the time set by the Father. Well, that time is now. He is leading us and is releasing everything to us.

I also was hearing a lot about angels. The LORD had me camped out studying Elisha and how he could see the angels surrounding the town when the enemy came against him. He prayed for Gehazi’s eyes to be opened to see what he could see. I have been asking the LORD to open my eyes.

Then, we had the storms and fires. Many of the religious folks were saying God’s judgment was coming against us. Others were rallying the prayer warriors to fight against them but coming up with reasoning on why our prayers didnt change things.

My take on that is found in Daniel 10.

1. There was a prophetic word on the Jews returning from Babylon and out of exile.
2. Daniel came into agreement with the word and started fasting and praying for its fulfillment.
3. God answered the prayer and sent Gabriel. An angel was released – high-level too.
4. Gabriel was intercepted by the Prince of Persia (principality). Geographic war was going on.
5. Michael (warring angel of highest order) was sent to bring breakthrough.
6. Jews were released.

What I believe is going on is that the prophetic word of the billion soul harvest is coming

to be. And, the church has been praying into that. God has been answering the prayers, and angels have been released. There have been gobs of prophetic words released on the release of angels right now. I do not believe the devil knows the future, but like Gabriel, the devil sees all of the angelic activity going on and launches a counter attack (Prince of Persia). This is why we see fires, earthquakes and hurricanes.

And, that also tells me that this is a massive deal over the entire North American region. Fires in the west. Earthquakes in Mexico and hurricanes in both Mexico and the US.

The next step is the war in the spirit and release of the breakthrough.

The reason that the prayers to thwart the calamities have been unanswered is that they havent been unanswered. We are supposed to move in our authority, etc. But, the church hasnt been able to access all that is in their account yet. They have been immature. And, the inheritance (spiritually and naturally) has not been accessible but by a select few who are mature in the LORD.

But, many, many people have been going through years of preparation and maturity. Count it all joy, as James says….that you would be made perfect, lacking nothing. The word perfect means mature. Our seasons of trials have been leading us into maturity. As that happens, God is able to release the resources for us to work with. We wont blow ourselves us. And, the anointing can be poured out in the same manner.

James 1New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Testing Your Faith

1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.

² Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, ³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. ⁴ And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

It is about to happen. Maturity is coming to the church. God has done it.

When I kept hearing “be led by the Spirit”, I first thought that my ability to see my inheritance was conditional on me being led. But, I was seeing it wrong. God was telling me that the time of prep had ended. I was now mature. So, I needed to act like it and be led by the Spirit.

So, I am.

Bless the LORD.
