"Things to Come in 2006 and Beyond..."
"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you." --John 16:13-15
With that in mind, here are a few things I feel the Holy Spirit is speaking as it pertains to the New Year of 2006 and beyond:
New Generation of Healing Evangelists Emerging
A turn will occur in the global prayer, prophetic, and apostolic movement towards evangelism. The cry for souls is arising once again. With this, there will be a thrusting forth by the Holy Spirit of freshly anointed Healing Evangelists who will move both in and out of church circles, mission endeavors, and marketplace gatherings. Some of the greatest impact in North America will occur in marketplace outreaches where the gospel will be preached and the sick healed.
A fresh thrust will occur in Prophetic Evangelism as the prophetic movement is sent forth from the congregational and conference settings into shopping malls and the marketplace, doing the works of Jesus. As recorded in John 21, Jesus is once again saying, "Cast your net on the other side of the boat!"
Jerusalem is a Heavy Stone!
"Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured." --Zechariah 12:2-3
We have crossed a line in the spirit concerning the ramifications upon nations and leaders who take an untimely stand against God's purposes with Jerusalem, Israel, and the Jewish people. It will not be "politically expedient" to be wrongly aligned with the apple of God's eye (Zechariah 2:8) in this hour. The jealousy of God has been stirred to action.
Therefore, we must pray for the leaders of our nations to align with the Word of God and not submit to the spirit of compromise. This is a time that united prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem must arise!
The Supernatural Phenomena on the Rise!
There will be a great rise in supernatural phenomena in both the demonic counterfeit arena and the true giftings of the Holy Spirit. Ungrounded believers could be swept up themselves into non-biblical experiences, if not established with proper boundaries in the Word of God.
Therefore, there will be the necessity of teaching and clarity on the gift of discerning of spirits. Understandings on spiritual warfare, emphasizing teachings on the spirit of deception, familiar spirits, necromancy, generational witchcraft, adaptive deception, and exposing Jezebel's influence will be a must.
While this is true, on the other hand, there is good news! The supernatural is on the rise! People will be drawn to Christ Jesus as God encounters, angelic activity, interactive visions, and Macedonian missionary calls are experienced.
Centers of Prayer and Worship
Centers of Prayer and Worship at the geographical places of origins of the United States will be emphasized by the Holy Spirit. Prayer sites will abound up and down the East Coast of the United States over the next two-plus years. As pressure mounts, the battle between Jezebel and Elijah will be fought out in the public political arena in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, Israel, Iran, Columbia, and other key nations.
Various models of city-wide intercession will increase. Regional distinctions will be expressed as prayer warriors identify the redemptive gift of God for their locations. With jealousy, I hear the Holy Spirit distinctly saying, "My house shall yet be called a house of prayer for all the nations!"
Tumultuous Circumstances in the Natural
It will be a time of increasing both the judgments and glory of the Lord in the earth at the same time. Greater glory of the Lord, with His manifested presence, will shine forth. Disasters, plagues, mudslides, droughts, fires, earthquakes, and volcanic activity will be felt in various regions of the earth.
But Jesus will manifest Himself as Prince of Peace in the "eye of the storm," as natural disasters escalate beyond the scope of normality.
Transformation Models and Economic Reform
The Joseph Company of creative business entrepreneurs has come of age. Large sums of money, previously withheld from the body of Christ, will begin to be released for transformation of society and especially mercy ministries.
Numerous legitimate investment opportunities for those financially able will be on the increase. This will result in the need for quality controls and practical wisdom to be exercised.
The necessity for prayer for all those in authority will be freshly emphasized, including three primary sectors of leaders: the church-world, secular government, and now, marketplace leaders. Marketplace intercession will be put in place.
We are presently on the "Poor Man's Watch". This is a global opportunity for authentic compassion ministry of Jesus to be expressed. These Joseph-type leaders will be given a stewardship opportunity for the rebuilding of whole cities and nations.
Deliverance from Evil Spirits
Deliverance from evil spirits will be on the rise as the Lord grants fresh insight into breaking generational cycles--especially with the spirits of infirmity, witchcraft, sexual perversion, and the occult. Hundreds, and even thousands, are going to be delivered in both public and private settings as the wind of the Lord sweeps again with authority and power at the name of Jesus.
The Mini and the Mega Church
With both joy and tension, a fresh house-church movement will be birthed. Hungry souls, desiring community, activation of gifts, personal ministry, and reading of scripture will band together in homes across the globe.
But it will be a time for both the "Mini and the Mega" church congregations to emerge. Large convention-style auditoriums will be turned over into mega churches with vibrant worship. While at the same time, homes, business places, and chapels at hospitals, etc. will be used for a grass-roots level mini-church movement. Both of these expressions will be pleasing to the Lord.
Mentoring the Next Generation
We are shifting from the Elijah Generation into the Elisha Generation (2 Kings 1 and 2). This new generation of radical believers will authentically walk in the double anointing as Elisha did. Miracles will be on the increase. Unusual signs and wonders will appear! But the joining of the generations is the key to this time of increase.
The hearts of the remaining leaders from both the former Charismatic, Jesus People, and Third Wave Movements of the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's shall be turned towards mentoring the next generation as the book of Malachi states. "Lineage and Legacy" will be part of the current apostolic burden of the hour. Internships, Master's Commissions, discipleship, training centers, and schools of the Word and the Spirit will multiply as the Elisha Generation comes forth.
