To the Church in the new year of 2024. The Lord is saying by His Spirit, “There is coming an upheaval of the wicked who have long stood against the plans of the Lord. For they have prevailed for yet a season times two, but with sudden power does the foot of the Church crush it's head and bring to an end the kingdom rule of darkness. For the Church now takes its place as those who are called to reign and govern, and no longer will the Church forfeit precious ground won and give it back over to the enemy. For the understanding that the kingdom of light now reigns supreme is dawning in the Church. From this place the Church now turns up its nose at the enemy and is no longer impressed by its wimpy roar or the continual gnashing of its teeth. For this glory ember sparks in the hearts of the saints, who are the Church, and as this truth awakens in their hearts, so now does the attitude and temperament of the Church change from ones who are predominantly passive to being those who are predominantly aggressive.” 

“For this is the face and the heart cry of My Warrior Bride,” says the Lord and Head of the Church. 

Then the Holy Spirit continues and says, “They are those whose hearts will war for their King with love for all mankind. For now will the Church pick up spiritual arms and war for the lost, sick, beat down, broken and dying. That they might do the works of Jesus their Master. For in this hour courage and boldness are hanging in the air for all to withdraw, and to take heart to do the works of Jesus in destroying the works of the devil. For surely he has already been defeated, and surely he is already rendered as harmless; and surely those who live lives of consecration to the Lord will be those who walk the earth wearing dragon slaying boots. For they will be ones who trample over the enemy and the gates of hell with ease. To them will the Lord give the sound of radiant joy, for they will love righteousness and hate iniquity and sin. So then will they laugh as Jesus does laugh (Hebrews 1:9).” 

“For His time to come is drawing close, and His glory will surely cover the earth as a blanket before He is met in the air. There is much work to be done, for in the twinkling of an eye the moment will have arrived. So don't act as ones who have time to put off the Lord's work for later. For moments and opportunities are now precious, and multiplication will be the yielding of this harvest fruit. As much is being placed into the hands of the faithful whom the Lord trusts to steward this fruit. For this time in history will the Church be marked as ravenous in continual hunger for acquiring souls who are lost, and a pious demeanor in the Church will be replaced with a power stance. For these ones will do great exploits with their God, and these ones will go forward without fear, and these ones will cross over into the deep places of the Spirit. For this is now released into the earth, and all who will see and accept these truths of who Jesus was when He lived His life here on earth, will no longer be content to attend church that is conducted as usual. For it is time for a return to the mandate to be ones who are co laborers with Christ. Not in the hope to one day accomplish this, but by action to step into that calling. For this is the Bride that fits into the dress the Lord has fashioned for His bride to wear, and this is the true manner and commission of the Kingdom of God. For this is a kingdom that ought to be ever advancing as it is a kingdom without end, and so then ought all who are in this kingdom to hold as both precious and privileged every assignment that it is given by His Spirit.” 

“So this is a time to master the Wind, for to master the Wind is to minister as Jesus did with Holy Spirit. It is within this flow of heaven that people will genuinely encounter Jesus on the earth. This way of building His Church will safeguard against something needing to be torn down later. For so much of what had been taught and built was done so in the arm of the flesh although it was done with many good and right intentions, and much of it was blessed as far as could be blessed in serving God's purpose. But now is the requirement to build by the Spirit. For surely Jesus did His ministry and building by the anointing and the leading of the Spirit. As all that is done by the Spirit of God is eternal and lasting. In this shift to prioritizing dependence upon the knowledge of God's will and following intelligently with Holy Spirit's directions, you will find the center of what is on the Father's heart for church building and planting in this hour. For certainly the old things have passed away, and it is time to move forward to the new. So move forward, that your churches would not become grave sites for the tombs of the dead things that are no longer living." 

“So move forward with heaven's unction and grace, for that which the Lord is doing He has many on ramps for your entrance into heaven's life flow. Only will you miss it if you harbor an unwillingness to change, and if you refuse to look at the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fresh eyes and a new expectation to action. For the Lord does not intend for this change to come as a great mystery in which the Church will not understand. It will not be easily missed for He has sent out on mass an invitation into going with Him into what is next. Although it is not a mystery, for many it may prove costly to move forward in accepting His invitation. As there will inevitably be those who will decide that they will not accept His invitation and will choose not to go forward.”

Then I saw Jesus put His right hand to His mouth and shout, "Miracles! Miracles! Miracles! This is the sign and this is the time that I will work with you in miracles both great and small! That man might know Me experientially! That man might see Me unequivocally! And that man might find Me in all certainty throughout the uttermost parts of the earth!"

The Spirit of God continues and says, “This is the hour that the Lord will place together four faithful friends, and many will be divinely paired up to rip up and tear open access to Jesus where access to Him had not been permitted to some as before. For just as these friends carried the paralytic onto the roof, opened up access to Jesus and lowered that man in need of a miracle from God into the room; so will many in the place of prayer do this work in bringing many before the Lord. They will bring Him churches, ministries, political, social and economic groups and issues so that they might receive miraculous intervention from the Lord. For life will be restored in place of death because four friends partnered together to bring those without access to Jesus in laying them at His feet.” (See Mark 2:1-12) 

Mark 2:12

Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

And the Holy Spirit says, “The Lord is also releasing now from His throne a new fire for many to carry that rages and is commissioned to spread. These Firebrands will impart and spread His fire of zealous burning, and the ministry of the gospel will consume them. For from these ones will many be raised up in the knowledge of what it means to carry their cross as assigned them by the Lord. That they might have the joyous fruit and reward of the Lord’s pleasure for a job well done when they arrive in heaven. 

The Lord gives these Firebrands special angelic hosts to accompany them as they will be high priority targets the enemy desires to extinguish. But the Lord has seen ahead of time in preparing these ones with His skill and thrill for battle. He has given them a head like flint and a supernatural ability to escape death, and these angelic hosts are an extra provision to see that their ministry is accomplished with the Lord. 

So if you cross paths with these ministry gifts of the Lord, understand that you are in a meeting place of impartation and position your heart for a heavenly withdrawal of this fire. For few are they who are fit to carry the weight and responsibility of this ministry, and the Lord has sent them in your midst as your hour of visitation. Therefore, bless them and send them happily on their way to where the Lord would bid they go next. As they are rare and in demand, and they will have to go with great frequency as the Lord has need of them.”

Isaiah 6:6,9 TLB

Then one of the mighty angels flew over to the altar and with a pair of tongs picked out a burning coal. He touched my lips with it and said, “Now you are pronounced ‘not guilty’ because this coal has touched your lips. Your sins are all forgiven.” Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom shall I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go?” And I said, “Lord, I’ll go! Send me.”

To leaders in churches, the Holy Spirit says, "Do not marry formulas or patterns. For this is the time that the borders and the boundaries of the temple are flexible and movable as in the days when God's presence was held within a tent. For this is the time where the Lord will train the church to be flexible and movable, so that the church would facilitate easy entrance and mobility for Holy Spirit to move. For too many temples are built in a manner that is as brick and mortar, and they are not conducive to Holy Spirit's life and movement. Therefore, you will again see divinely inspired moments of waiting corporately on the Lord and waiting for the movement of Holy Spirit, and the breath of God will mark the churches that give the Lord their time. For it will be as if the face of God hovers over these churches where God breathes continually in and out. As He both takes in what is offered up to Him, and exhales His pleasure for that which He has received. For the Holy Spirit is as the wind, and the Holy Spirit is necessary in rightly knowing and discerning Jesus in the church.”

John 3:8 TPT

“For the Spirit-Wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born.”

To established ministers the Lord says, “I have many valuable assets in the earth in the form of proven ministers and ministries that have counted the cost, are seasoned and experienced, exhibit great faithfulness to My heart and are still tender-hearted to those they are called to serve. These are ones I've appointed to longevity in the earth as they are highly prized and necessary to My plan. To them I mark with the seal of the eagle that they might exist above all that is beneath, and that they would soar out of reach of anything that would be able to defile or harm. And to these I assign a special class of warring angel to obliterate many obstacles so that what was planned will never even be seen as a blip on their radar. For I will go before you, and watch after the path you are headed on and ordained to travel. For you will be ones who will regularly and easily walk away from situations of harm just as I walked away from the crowd who intended to throw Me off the cliff. For you will know that you are purposed in Me for longevity, and you will have confidence that your hour has not yet come.” (See Luke 4:28-30)

Isaiah 40:31 AMPC

But those who wait on the Lord [expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

To His singers the Lord says, “There is a heavenly sound that has been released years ago upon the earth to minister to Me in anointed worship, and there were some who picked up this sound while others never found it. So yet again am I releasing for the Church waves of sound for worshiping Me. For I am seeking not just that I hear these sounds sung back to Me, but that those who give their voices to Me would come with Me and ride on these waves in worship. For We have been seeking that man would worship in Spirit, not just in truth, and We set before you an open door to come into heaven’s realm to worship in Spirit. So that what exists within the heavens would fully find entrance in your midst. For these are the sounds which I want to enthrone Myself upon as you worship, and you will need to go into the spirit to pull them into your midst. For I Am the Door and I know what pleases Me, and it would delight My heart for you to enter in with Me that I might show you what it is that I want ministered to Me.” (See Psalm 98 TPT)

John 4:24 NKJV

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
