Prophetic words are an invitation from the Lord. I sense these following 13 prophetic insights are to be decrees that we aggressively pursue for 2013. They are invitations for use to lay hold of.
1. Stagnant waters will be stirred in a fresh way.
I saw pools of Bethesda stirring again and a fresh healing stir being released. God
wants His people to lay hold of the divine healing anointing in a fresh way this
year. I saw deep seated, lingering disorders being healed, even down to the chromosome
level. I saw stubborn areas within the soul and flesh being healed that people have
battled with for years. In Jn 5:2-
2. A prophetic ear will be given to not only hear but to also listen and comprehend.
This hearing will also occur from a position of rest in His presence. A key scripture is 1 Sam 3:3,10. In a time of no widespread revelation and where the eyes of the high priest Eli were growing dim, the light was still burning in the temple near the ark. As Samuel rested before the ark in the presence of God, the voice of God speaks to him. After several times of hearing, but not understanding, Samuel is instructed by Eli to say, “Speak Lord for your servant is listening.” There is a big difference between hearing and listening. God is refining the prophetic ear and the prophetic movement. He is calling His prophets and His people to come into a place of rest in His presence in the light of revelation. From that place the voice of God will speak. Not only will His voice be heard, but it will be listened to and comprehended. A new clarity of hearing and perceiving God’s voice is coming. It will not be by self effort or striving. It will be from resting in His presence. Not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
3. New language will be given by God to properly and clearly communicate truths God
is highlighting and speaking.
For example, the term “soaking” was not used until
the outpouring of God’s Spirit in the 90’s. This term helped explain the concept
of being filled with God’s presence. New language will be given by the Spirit to
more deeply and clearly understand truths God is bringing forth of spiritual realities.
4. God is giving the blueprints for the new wineskin God is forming.
In Josh 3:3-
5. We will not continue to do things the same way.
The cloud of God is moving and
with that our activities will shift. Our focuses will shift. Some old structures
will have to adapt and morph with the new way God is moving. There will be fresh
Spirit-
6. God will be highlighting and deepening within His people an understanding of the
true identity of the believer.
Revelation of how to live out of union with God will
come forth. We will understand our oneness with God and live out of our inner spirit
man. For those who are one with God are one spirit with Him. 1Cor 6:17,19
7. God is going to bring revelation into foundational spiritual truths.
Things we
thought we knew and understood, God is going to have us look again and He is going
to give us deeper revelation and understanding into things we thought we knew for
years. Look back upon foundational truths and new light and revelation will be shone
upon them bringing the manifestation of true spiritual realities.
8. The understanding of spiritual warfare is shifting.
We are moving from “warfare”
breakthrough to a “decreeing and establishing” breakthrough. This will occur with
a deeper revelation of who and where we are. Rather than fighting into the second
heaven from being under, we will rule and reign from the third heaven being over.
I understand that we wrestle not with flesh and blood (Eph 6:12) and that even Jesus
experience personal warfare when He was tempted by the devil and overcame by the
spoken word of God. But this warfare will not be fought to obtain victory, but will
be fought from a place of victory. Christians will live from a third heaven reality
understanding how to establish on earth as it is in heaven. A new perspective, a
new revelation and with it a new manifestation of Kingdom authority will be released.
God is bringing people into a new level of spiritual authority. Eph 2:5-
9. This is the season of the fulfillment of dreams.
Many are being brought from a
time where the word of the Lord tested them. The second dream to Joseph was highlighted
to me in Gen 37:9-
10. God is delivering people from burdens.
But it’s not just the removal of burdens.
As Psa 81:6-
11. There is a generational convergence taking place.
It’s a season for new young
leaders to be mentored and raised up. Generations are converging together and will
function together in relationship for the purpose of multiplication. Generational
wells and new wells will open together. Fathers and mothers will take their place
and sons and daughters will come into their place. Those that have not been fathers
will now step into a fathering role. Gen 26:18-
12. I saw a vision of an open door.
This is the year of the open door. As we run
through it we will come into divine acceleration. New favor, new opportunities and
new advancements. Key scripture is Rev. 3:7-
13. I saw a vision of the Lord blowing upon a flickering flame.
Usually when someone
blows on a candle the flame goes out. But as God breathed upon the flame within us
it got brighter and hotter. It will be a season of renewing our first love for God
(Rev 2:2-
I encourage you to pray over these 13 prophetic decrees and meditate on them and
apply them to your lives as the Holy Spirit leads you.
