July 14, 2014 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah 46:10 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. Psalm 33:11 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God endures forever. Isaiah 40:8 I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass. Isaiah 48:3 So is my Word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you. Isaiah 42:9 Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD--with the first of them and with the last--I am He. Isaiah 44:7 July 14, 2014 -Call Forth - God’s way is to call those things that are not as though they are. And because you are made in God’s image, you can also call those things that are not as though they are! Romans 4:17 tells us - God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. When God wanted to make Abraham a father of many nations, what did He do? He changed the way Abraham talked. At that time, Abraham did not even have a single child from Sarah because she was barren. So how could he become a father of many nations? God changed the way he talked. How? By changing his name from Abram to Abraham, which means “father of many nations. Just imagine: From then on, every time he met someone, he would say, “Hi, my name is Father Of Many Nations.” Every time dinner was ready, Sarah would call out to Abraham, “Darling… Father Of Many Nations… dinner is ready! Father Of Many Nations…” You can just hear their neighbors saying, “They want a child so much they have gone mad!” But God changed the way Abraham talked so that he called forth what God saw him already blessed with. Genesis 1 tells us that in the beginning, there was darkness over the face of the whole earth. God saw the darkness and He said, “Light be!” And light was. God called forth what He wanted and it became so! If it had been me or you, we would probably have said, “Whoa! It is so dark!” You know, when Jesus saw the man with a withered hand, He didn’t say, “My goodness! It is so withered!” He said, “Stretch out your hand!” (Matthew 12:13) He called forth what He wanted. He looked at the paralytic and said, “Rise, take up your bed and go home!” (Matthew 9:6) He didn’t see the way it was in the natural. He saw the way God meant it to be and He called it forth. God’s way is to call those things that are not as though they are. Call Forth Call Forth - Breakthrough is at hand. Recently, the Lord spoke the following to me: “There’s a breakthrough coming down all around.” And He has said to me - Listen for the sound and I thought to myself listen to the sound - what? Sound is an important element in God’s purposes, and is often associated with heaven invading earth. In particular, the trumpet sound is often associated with the Lord breaking through to deliver His people. For example, 1 Timothy 4:16 describes the second coming of Christ in the following way: For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Sound and breakthrough go hand in hand. The walls of Jericho – the first city to be taken on the way to the promised land – were broken through as a result of a sound (the shouts of victory). Numbers 4:20 associates the sound of the shofar (trumpet) with a call to battle and the Lord fighting for His people: “Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us.” Furthermore, Isaiah 30:32 describes the Lord’s vengeance on Israel’s Assyrian enemy in the context of sounds of praise: “Every stroke the LORD lays on them with his punishing club will be to the music of timbrels and harps, as He fights them in battle with the blows of his arm. Sound releases power. It releases substance Sound is what created the world when the Lord said “Let there be light.” Anointed sound causes heavenly substance to manifest as earthly substance, bringing change and calling forth those things which are not into being (Romans 4:17). So when God releases a sound of breakthrough, He is releasing a manifestation of His power in the earthly realm that will literally change circumstances, move mountains, and release the will of His kingdom in the earth. And God is releasing a sound breakthrough - so praise Him today with all that is within you - enter into His gates this day with praise and thanksgiving. Call Forth. Call Forth - Unfolding before us is a “season of breakthrough, for those who have kept faith.” In this regard, we are going to see shifts taking place in the natural realm, even things that could not have occurred apart from the supernatural grace of God. “There’s a shift. Old things have passed away. I am - you are - we are about to receive our portions to move with the Lord into this new season of the same name, season of breakthrough. As I was writing this morning - the Lord brought to mind the account of Moses at the Red Sea. What was highlighted to me from that is this: it wasn’t Moses’ staff that parted the sea. His gesture in the natural (holding out his staff) was a physical decree, saying: “Now God is releasing His authority over this ocean and it is parting!” But Moses’ faith in the natural was simply the key that released the Lord to do the very thing Moses was prophesying by faith. More specifically, I believe Moses’ faith released angelic activity, and that a very large angel or perhaps simply “the angel of the Lord” came down and blew on the waters, causing them to recede. Because God tells us that He will send an angel before us to clear the way. The Lord is once again releasing angelic activity to bring me to bring you - to bring us - His people through the waters. This deliverance will come like a double edged sword, for when the angel of the Lord fights for you, He will take care not only of what is before you, but what is behind you; He will cut off your enemy so he will not be able to pursue you! This is what breakthrough from the King of Kings looks like! Again, we see this demonstrated in the miracle of the Red Sea, at which time not only did God’s intervention open access to the land of Israel’s inheritance, but it also closed the door permanently upon their enemy; the Lord cast Pharaoh and his horses into the sea “never to rise again” (Isaiah 43:17). I believe we have entered into an appointed time “such as this!” Call Forth. Call Forth - Get ready to be recompensed! Get ready to break through! It’s time for mountains to move. I am literally seeing mountains uprooted, turning over onto their backs, and falling into the sea! We are receiving a fresh impartation to decree in the Name of the King. We will move in an authority that will allow us to see matters resolved on earth as in heaven. The Lord is releasing increased authority and I sense the Spirit saying that the latter was necessary in order to make things ready for what is about to come. The Lord is going to open doors. We can expect to see these things increase and accelerate. During this season I will - you will - we will - many will be brought out of Egypt or their “prison years” and placed into position to go forth in their true callings. I am hearing the Spirit say: “This is your appointed hour. Get ready Call Forth.
