BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU SOAR
Stephen Hanson
29. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
"This is a message to the prophets:"
"Remember how the story of Icarus was? It is a fable about a man who flew too close to the
sun. Because he thought that he could
come so close to the sun he burned up and fell to the ground. "
"Remember that some of you have flown in the heavenlies very high. You have soared on the
wings as of eagles. But I would say that
some of you have flown high in your own imaginations. You cannot manufacture or create, your
own wings. You can soar only as high as
you are in my Spirit. You must be aware of these things and be careful where you fly. "
"I have said in my word that "those who wait upon Me will renew their strength and will
mount-up with wings as of eagles." And
truly this is so, but first you must "wait upon Me." This is a season of learning how to fly
more carefully. There are times when
you will fly and there are times when you will guard the nest. There are times when you will
hunt, and there are times when you
will sit and survey the landscape. Know the season that you are in. Know when you are to sit
and be silent. Know when you are to
speak. Know when you are to work together with others. Know when you are to work alone. Know
when the heat of battle is so hot
that you must retreat to the nest. Know when you must fight the battle with Me. "
"When you know these things then you will fly more "fitly." Know that it is a lifetime of
training. Know that it is an on-going
refinement. Know that it is a lifetime of service. Know that it is a lifetime of forgiving
and being forgiven."
"Your character must match your words. You must die to yourself daily. Then my Spirit can do
the work that is necessary. "
"Soar with Me, but know where and how you must soar with Me. Thus would say the Spirit of the
Lord, the one who has made the Spirit
of the prophets to soar with Me."

ON THE VERGE OF A FRESH OUTPOURING
Jill Austin
PROLOGUE
We are on the verge of a fresh outpouring of Holy Spirit where new waves
of His glory and visitation are coming. Radical signs and wonders are
once again going to hit the earth as unprecedented prayer movements
explode around the globe.
We've read about historic revivals over the centuries that usually lasted
only a few short years. Why did this happen? How can we experience not
only a visitation but also an inhabitation of God's Spirit? When the
Manifest Presence comes, it also acts as a refiner's fire to test the
hearts of each individual, church and community. Will we open up the
gates for the King of Glory to come in?.....
....Are you really prepared for the next move of God? When He comes - and
He will come - He will shake, expose and challenge all of our agendas,
exposing our nakedness. So let's get personal. Are you on your face in
repentance and humility? Do you have the revelation and strategies to
oust the dragon and her children from your midst? Or have you shut the
gates of your heart and city to the move of God?

A PROPHETIC CALL TO REVOLUTION
Cindy Jacobs
For I would say to you, My children there is a page turning in the
heavenlies, and at the top of this page I have one word, and it's
"revolution." And I am getting ready to write a new page of history among
the believers of this nation.
RADICAL NEW SOUND
For there is a radical sound that I have issued--there is a sound that has
come from heaven, and it even now has come to earth. And the Lord says,
these are going to be days where I am going to trouble the enemy through
you. These are going to be different days than you have ever known, and I
am going to require sacrifice of you that you cannot imagine. I am going
to require a sacrifice of your children, says the Lord. And the Lord
says, I'm going to shake everything that can be shaken.
CHURCHES AS COMMAND POSTS FOR REVOLUTION
There are churches that will be command posts for revolution, and to these
command posts I would say, I am going to bring a revolution. Look and see;
I am calling radical revolutionaries to the church. There is a sound going
forth from heaven, says the Lord. I am calling from the north and the
south and the east and the west. They're going to move, they're going to
change universities to come to these command posts. They're going to
change jobs. I'm going to bring the 18, 19, 20, 21 year olds, and they're
going to mentor the generation under them. And then the high schoolers
are going to mentor the generations under them.

Rest
Becky McLendon
There is a Rest to be obtained, and glorious it is when it is possessed.
The Lord has watched the restless waves of His people, chasing after Him, dashing from one state to another
to be "in the river", to sit under the Big Name to "get a word or a touch", and coming home to get depressed
because "it" isn't in their home town.
The Lord has watched as many of His people have struggled in the morasse of their personal inner conflicts
and outer circumstances to no avail. Their hearts remain unhealed, and their lives remain ineffective.
The Lord has watched as many of His people have strived and sweated to "work for God" and to no avail
because their service is to appease a system that is self perpetuating but certainly of little eternal value. They
are only working because someone said they "should".
The Lord has watched as many of His people sit, overly fattened on teachings and preachings, taking it all in
and never giving it all out.
The Lord has watched as many have assumed "leadership" roles and designated all others as mere "watchers
and supporters" .a holy fan club, as it were. As long as the crowds and money are rolling in, the "leaders"
continue to "lead" by clever sales tactics and control.
The Lord has watched as many of his sheep blindly submit to leaders who determine their spiritual gifts,
whether they should marry or not, who dictate what to touch and not to touch, and whether to travel to a certain
place or not. They never flourish or reach the potential of their calling, thus failing to fulfil their role in the
Kingdom.
The Lord has watched as many of his people, who are weak and sin laden, openly invite deception into their
homes and believe outrageous lies all perpetrated in the name of Christ.
The Lord has watched many of His people receive a genuine vision from Him and become so lost in the maze
of trying to make it happen that they perish before it is realized. Then they walk away and say "Guess it wasn't
God."
He says to us today : "What My people have missed in all of this is the open invitation to receive ME and enter
My rest. Many think to "receive" Jesus is to buy fire insurance. That they can die and go to heaven some day.
But there is so much MORE to "receiving Jesus." Do you even realize what it is to receive Me? It is to take Me
in..and allow Me to enter an earthly temple..YOU. It is to bring the fullness of the Godhead into your inner man
and allow Me to be manifested in you. HOW ELSE CAN YOU TRULY SERVE ME LEST I BE ENTHRONED
IN YOU?
Do you not realize that when I sit on the throne in your inner man your strivings and sweatings and stressings
cease and you will REST in me?
"Here are some equivalents. Synonyms.
REST = Receiving Jesus
"So you see, My people. I call you to My rest. There we have the intimacy a husband should have with His wife.
Cease the frettings and the straining at gnats. Cease the arguments and "discussions" and "great verbal
exchanges and speculations." RECEIVE ME...and enter your rest.
"Cease wallowing in self and being concerned about yourself and how others perceive you..enter your
REST..RECEIVE ME and receive OF ME all you need. Cease clamoring for acknowledgment and affirmation.
RECEIVE ME I have affirmed you from the beginning of time.
"The spirit and the bride say "come". So come."

WALK INTO THE FIRE
Judith Grobelny
Last night as we responded at the altar to yield back to God all He has given us in order to move forward in His plans,
He showed me the following.
We have been as children playing in the small waves of His Spirit and His River, but He has been teaching us to swim
in deeper waters.
Now He is calling us forward into a place He has been preparing us for. He is calling us to 'walk into the fire'. He
says "when you walk through the fire you will NOT be burned (Is.43 and the whole chapter is applicable to what He is
talking about.)
It is time to begin to look seriously at the new thing He is doing. To those who are faithful and whose hearts are truly
HIs, this is blessing.
I saw the white-hot heat of the furnace and the three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who walked there.
The Lord said they did not find Him before the furnace, or outside the furnace, they met Him in the fire!
It will appear that such a fire will consume all that we are and have, but the Lord reminds us again "When you walk
through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you" (Amp. Is.43)
And again I see the white-hot heart of the furnace.
Did not John the Baptist say "He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit AND WITH FIRE."
Matt.3:11,12,13
......"He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit
and with fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor, gathering His wheat into the
barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Then Jesus came................
I felt the Lord drawing my attention to the sentences either side of verse 12!
Smith Wigglesworth often quoted Heb.1:7
He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.
I believe we, who are His servants, are being called to walk into the fire.
Note: It is worth considering that already the enemy has counterfeited this, in the Fiji Islands there are men who
walk through fire, and also various Indian sects who do that and who carry their children through!
Shalom and blessings,
CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY! COL 1:27
Deborah Voetberg
What does that verse mean to you? What mental pictures emerge in
your mind? Hebrews 9:24-26 offers some clues..." For Christ has
not
entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the
true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God
for us; not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest
enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another - He
then
would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world, but
now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by
the sacrifice of Himself."
Once a year, for many generations, our Heavenly Father watched as the
high priest of Israel approached the Holy of Holies, slipped in
beyond the veil and offered the sacrifice for himself and Israel.
Each sacrifice drew the Father closer to the time when His own Son
would be the ultimate sacrifice and offering. Each year the Father
watched a shadow and forerunner of the true. Then the time had
finally arrived, and He watched His Son ascend unto Him, not into a
holy place made with hands, but into the true Holy of Holies, as the
true High Priest atoning for the sins of mankind.
We are the temples of the Holy Spirit, and God is building within us
a place for His Son to dwell. A place not made by hands but by His
Spirit. According to 2 Cor. 5:1, an eternal house or mansion in the
heavens. What we need to understand is that the mansion is being
built now, within us! It's not something just being constructed
up
in heaven that we will walk into. Christ is to dwell within us now.
We are to be clothed in glory, not found naked. The mystery is that
this house here is being built at the same time in heaven. The
process of salvation is the process of Jesus the carpenter building a
dwelling place to hold His glory!
2 Chronicles 5:13 & 14." indeed it came to pass, when the
trumpeters
and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising
and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the
trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord,
saying: " For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,"
that the
house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the
priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the
glory of the Lord filled the house of God."
As the church we have been praying that this would happen in our
congregations, but God says the house He is building is within you.
Bring your spirit, soul & body into agreement with all of heaven and
have the words found in your mouth be " For He is good, For His
mercy
endures forever," which translates into a thankful heart of
gratitude and praise, and watch the glory fill your house! When we
get individual temples filled with the glory then corporate
temples will be filled with a greater glory than the former says the
Lord of hosts in Haggai 2:9. A temple that He will give peace.
wholeness!
Do you want to be a temple that he visits or dwells in? Then rejoice
and count it all joy when you are grieved and fall into various
trials. The sanctification process is at work preparing a permanent
dwelling place. The genuineness of your faith is being tested by
fire that you may be found to praise, honor and glory at the
revelation of Jesus Christ. ( 1 Peter 1:6&7 )
Because as High Priest, Jesus entered the Holy of Holies once and for
all as our sacrifice for sin, His intercession is the constant
reminder in heaven that He has paid the price for our sanctification
process. The Father is revealing a greater revelation of Jesus
Christ in our days. A greater understanding of who He is and what He
fully did for us.
The greatest reward waiting for us all is the revelation of the
fullness of Christ in us, the hope of glory!
Peace to you all!

30. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31. but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow
weary, they will walk and not be faint. Is. 40
