In this second and final post about what God is doing in the earth right now, I want to bullet point some things the Lord has shown me about 2021 and this new era we have already stepped into. I also want to break down a few of the points and elaborate on them in this post. I’m not going to elaborate on all of them or it would be the post of no return. I have taught on many of these things and prophesied about these things numerous times and will continue to do so.
Ok, here we go:
2021 will be a year of awakening and ascending.
2020 was a year of awakening in the sense that it shook us awake to the reality of the illusion and deception and control of politics and powers, of the fragility of society, etc.
2021 is an awakening within the body of Messiah to Kingdom realities, function, and purpose. It’s a calling up. There’s a calling up of the sons of God, of the Bride of Messiah to rise and take her place.
2021 is going to be an awakening to the realities of our union with God and all that entails. We are going to see the glorious beginnings of, what I have been calling, a Union Revolution. (John 17: 20-26) There are already glimmers of it in the earth, but it’s going to crack open in hearts like never before and begin to sweep the globe. I touched on this in Part 1.
-The reality of authority and governing and legislating from heavenly places and what that looks like.
-The reality of living as multi-dimensional, bi-locational beings. (i.e. that we are seated with Messiah in heavenly places and at the same time ambassadors to the earth.)
-The reality of realms that are open to us.
-The reality that truly all of me is in Him and all of Him is in me. Perfect union, perfect communion.
-The reality that death is not the doorway into heavenly realms but Yeshua is the door. John 10:9 “I am the door. Whoever enters by me will be saved and go in and out and find pasture.” The awakening to the reality of life and immortality will rise and gain momentum in hearts and lives and will radically change the way we live in multiple aspects.
-It’s going to be a year of untethering from man-made systems and tethering to His heart.
Babylonian systems are coming down:
Jeremiah 1:10
“See, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
It’s going to be a year where the systems of Babylon are sifted from the church and we return, once again, to the original design of His heart.
It’s going to be a year that we are awakened to the reality that we were born in Zion, that like Hebrews says, “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Yeshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.”
The ways of Zion are directly opposed to the systems of Babylon. And we are about to see Babylonian systems come crashing down in our own hearts and lives, in the church, and in culture and society.
There are so many things I could say about this, but I want to hone in on one thing that the Lord shared with me that will be the first domino, if you will, of the Babylonian system that will fall in our lives and churches and beyond.
Lets look at the first thing Babylon does:
“The king assigned them all daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. Among these were Daniel, Hanahniah, Mishael, Azariah of the tribe of Judah. And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.”
Immediately after a three year indoctrination, they are renamed. When we look into this a little bit we find an interesting thing:
If we look at the Hebrew meaning of each of their names we find that:
Daniel’s name means: God is my judge
Hananiah means: Yahweh is gracious or Yahweh has been gracious
Azariah means: Yahweh has helped or the help of Yahweh
Mishael means: who is like God or who is what God is
Now let look at the Babylonian names given to them:
Belteshazzar means: Lord of the straightened treasure
Shadrach means: the royal scribe
Meshach means: guest of a king
Abednego means: servant of Nebo
What has happened here is that they have been stripped of their Hebrew names, the names given that rooted them in praise of God and rooted them in in who they were connected to the Father’s heart, their true identity. They were, instead, given names that were job titles.
Babylon wants to indoctrinate/bring you into another culture, to effectively educate you into another culture outside of your true identity, to change even what you eat and what you crave, force you to just mingle a little bit of idol worship…you can still keep the rituals you want to keep so long as you bow down when you hear that Babylonian music play. And I daresay, we’ve had one foot in the kingdom and one foot in the systems of Babylon.
Do you see what’s happened here? Babylon says it’s about what you do not who you are. The Father says it’s about who you are! It’s about who He made you to be. It’s about living from the place of union and about the identity that He placed in you from before the before. It’s about coming back to who we are. It’s about shaking off the systems of Babylon that we have allowed to govern in our lives and in the church, and therefore the culture. This Babylonian system and culture is woven into the fabric of the church and we have built according to it’s design instead of the pattern of Zion. It’s time for that to change.
The culture has renamed you, the church has renamed you, your family may have even renamed you, but the Lord says, “I am stripping the ways and structures and names of Babylon from your hearts and lives and from the fabric of the church as I raise up a true ekklesia and I am returning your names to you that root you in your true identity. You are mine, says the Lord.”
Is your identity truly rooted in who you are in Christ?
Is there even a little bit of your heart that’s concerned about the size of your church, ministry, etc. and whether or not people will leave if you speak a truth they don’t want to hear? Are you more anchored to systems and routine than you are living in union with the rhythm of His heart. Beloved, untether. Let the beautiful fear of the Lord rest on you and tear down the fear of man in your heart. The fear of man is so entangled into the systems of Babylon. Tear. It. Down. And walk in the freedom and delight of the Fear of the Lord.
Breaking boxes of compartmentalization
I’m not going to say a whole lot on this because I spoke about it in Part 1.
As we enter into union and identify again with original design and our true identity in YHWH we are going to begin to think outside of our typical linear ways of thinking.
The Lord is going to show us the power of facets and aspect of His heart and kingdom that we have separated and disected in an attempt to understand them
The Lord says,
“I am bringing you into awakening of the inner workings of the Spirit of wisdom and understanding in this hour and I will show you that I am truly one and I am not divided. That every facet of who I am is am inseparable thread in the tapestry of my eternal nature and person.”
Poet Prophets- The age of the scribe and the oracle:
If you have followed me for any length of time, you have heard me prophesy this. It’s so huge on the heart of God! So I am highlighting it again in this post because this is what God is going in this new era!
There’s a new breed of prophet rising in the earth. And they look like poets.
They look like writers and storytellers and musicians.
They look like creatives releasing the mysteries of God’s heart in the earth.
These poet prophets will cause cultural, economic, and political shift in the nations.
They will speak, they will sing, they will write and landscapes will transform into Kingdom landscape, strongholds will break, land and people will be healed, restoration and revelation will abound. They will be used in a massive way to break the systems of Babylon in the earth and establish the ways of Zion!
We have been used to a certain style of prophet in the earth in numerous recent years, so there is a tendency to look only for that and, therefore, recognize only that. But I am telling you that we need to begin to let heaven open our eyes to the prophetic movement that is currently bubbling up in the earth. Don’t miss the forest for the trees, beloved. Ask for eyes to see the fresh breath of the prophetic being released through vessels you have written off as just the artists who compliment the main act.
I want to share just a portion of what He has spoken to me, “Watch and see that I will pour fire and revelation out of the poets of my heart that will change nations! I will rise in the grassroots places you do not expect. My voice will thunder through their music, through their writing, through their spoken word, bringing Kingdom order and justice to regions and lives. And the church will hear and observe what I am doing with my Bride in the earth and they will leave their old ways behind, pick up my ways, and rise to build My kingdom in the earth. The voices of the poet prophets will shine light on kingdom revolution and you will see the dawning of a new era as you receive this expression of my heart in the earth and engage with the prophetic anointing on it. Do not only look where you’ve always looked. Do not only hear from the sounding stations in the earth you have tuned your ears to. For I am raising up voices, poets crying in the wilderness, ‘Make way for Revolution! Make way for deeper expressions of the kingdom than you have sought for fear of ruining your own plans and purpose. This is the time, this is the hour, this is the time for revelation power.’ Get ready for sweeping wind in the church riding in on the voices of the burning hearted poet prophets I am releasing in the earth! Get ready for revolution!”
Let’s look higher to Him, beloved. Let’s tune our ear to Him and to all those He is releasing to speak His heart through in the earth. Let’s be the one’s who live in union with Him and release His heart in the earth. Let’s be about the Father’s business.
Poets begin to press in for deeper wisdom, begin to unlock the mysteries of union, and unveil these mysteries to the world wrapped in the beauty and elegance of God.
Long ago in the Celtic history there were what they called poet preachers. And we are going to see a rise in that again. There is coming a rise of poet prophets and poet preachers who will walk in an uncommon spirit of grace, eloquence , and wisdom to declare and unveil the beauty of God in the earth.
The Spirit of God is waiting with mantles of eloquence and assistance from the host of heaven to help the poets utter what has been unable to be uttered in terms of the mystery and beauty of God.
God is going to use the Poets, the musicians, the songwriters, the storytellers...those who use their tongue to tell and their hearts to make song and sound. These sounds will go out cause shifts in culture. They will open blind eyes. They will win hearts over into the beauty of His heart. They will transform. There will be miracles resting on these words and as these words go out, they will not fall to the ground.
Poets haven’t really been at the forefront of society...they have been seen as somewhat extra or just expressions of the artistic, but the Lord says, “no more will my anointed poets go unheard or their words be passed over, for I am raising up poet prophets and I will cause not one word to fall to the ground.”
God is raising up a generation of poet prophets like David, who pull from another age! David was a man out of time. He lived with revelation from a covenant that was yet to be. David busted out of the matrix of the age he lived in…eating the showbread! Declaring new covenant truths in his Psalms. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to us now because we live with these realities, but this was before the new covenant was made manifest on the earth! David pulled truth and revelation and the reality of heaven and the heart of God into his now! And this is a reality that is being, and will be, awakened in the hearts of His people in this era.
So poets: speak. Poets. Write. Poets. Sing. Poets. Tell. For your God has called you for this hour to reveal His beauty and His Justice and all the dazzling facets of His heart to the nations and all the cosmos.
These are all things that the Lord has spoken to me about this time we have stepped into. I am so happy to be on the earth right now with what He is doing! Such beauty and glory and hope! It’s going to be good. It’s going to be a wild ride as Babylonian systems come crashing down and the ways of Zion prevail. I always say that the weapons of Zion are unassuming, but they WIN. Two of those weapons are peace and rest. Learn the ways of Zion, beloved. Learn the ways of His heart.
