The Tide Is About To Turn With A Release Of Freedom

Nathan – Tuesday 20th Oct 2015

During my time of worship yesterday, I had a vision of a ship that was going up a river, it was going wherever the river was leading. I then saw that the ship was coming toward a large opening with a great expanse of waters such as an ocean but the ship was now hardly moving, it was trying to get to this great open expanse of water but was struggling to make progress toward it. I realised that the ship was in fact going up stream and against the tide that was coming in. The ship continued to labor but then, the tide suddenly changed and the ship quickly gained ground effortlessly with such a freedom, into the great expanse of water.

The Lord is saying that the tide is about to change on our circumstances. I see that many of the Body of Christ have been on a journey of contending for many of the promises God has spoken over them but it feels like you are not making much ground and that the tide against you is to strong. Be encouraged that against the tide is where you want to be because even though it may seem so much easier to turn the boat around and go with the current, the current will eventually become stagnant and the waters will eventually dry up. Keep standing and contending against the tide of your current circumstances because the Lord is about to change the tide and you will see a sudden change that will cause your future, that you are contending for, to become reality and physically manifested in your life. Now is the time to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus more than ever and continue to allow the Holy Spirit to drive you by directing your speech, your decrees and declarations. Keep standing on the words & promises the Lord has given you because the tide is about to suddenly change where you will see a sudden acceleration towards the great expanse of waters which is the promises and blessing of God. You will see a sudden ease and freedom in your moving forward towards the things you have been contending for and your future that you have continued to prophesy over yourself, is about to become reality. With this, will also come greater God Devine appointed encounters that will cause you to go to the next level in your relationship with The Lord and the mantle that God has placed on you will be enlarged with a greater authority & influence.

“Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” Genesis 28:15 NKJV

“For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!” Psalms 84:10-12 NKJV

Freedom of our unique identity

Emilia 15 October 2015

During a time of beautiful worship with 3 other amazing women, today, I saw a portal of light from heaven come between the 4 of us.  It was bright but soft and flowing.  I then noticed that each of us were spheres of light and we started to co-mingle with the portal of light.  What I became aware of was that the lights were free to move and mingle as they were not defined by any shape or enclosure.  There was no hardness about them.  There was no definition of shape or size or structure, they were just free.  As these lights danced and mingled together, there was a sense of freedom of joy.

As the freedom of expression progressed, I felt that my own light was breaking forth out of me with gentle explosions of colours and sounds.  I felt like my inner self was experiencing a beautiful freedom of expression.human light

As I enquired to the Lord about this He said that when we behave authentically from our unique and true identity we experience that freedom and we co-mingle with heaven freely.  The enemy doesn’t want us to experience this so he works tirelessly to remove that free interaction by placing definitions on us that harden us by lying to us about what we are, what we are not, what the world says we should be.  When we accept these definitions our inner light develops hard edges that can not freely move and intermingle.  We become defined and shaped into an identity that is no longer our own and we lose our freedom, our authenticity, our identity and ultimately develop walls between ourselves and heaven, feeling trapped.

I was then made aware that each and every human being has a unique deposit of heaven within them which can only be released by operating out of our unique identity.  In fact we are responsible for releasing our piece of heaven on this earth.  If we do not walk in our unique identity, then not only are we are enslaved by a false identity and entrapment but the world does not get to experience that part of heaven of which we are purposed to impart.

An Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit to Revive & Awaken

Nathan – Tuesday 13th Oct 2015

The Lord gave me a vision today of a Heart, this heart was not beating but then all of a sudden it started to beat. I then saw the words “Revive and Awaken”. The Holy Spirit then began to show me that we are coming into a season where God is going to bring revival by reviving the Church in a way that will usher in a great move and outpouring of The Holy Spirit that we have never seen before. This outpouring will be so great and powerful that the Body of Christ will be transformed in such a way that there will be an overflow of Gods glory and presence on believers, that where ever they go in their communities, the unsaved that come into their sphere of spiritual influence will encounter an Awakening of their spirit with a supernatural encounter with The Holy Spirit.

Heart-and-Cross

Right now, there are many in the Body Of Christ that are experiencing a personal God stretching within themselves like they have never experienced before. Even though you are continuing to stand in prayer and press into Gods presence, you are experiencing a flat feeling, like you have nothing else to give. Be encouraged that even though at times you feel that God is no where to be found in your situation, He has not abandoned you and is by your side walking through the fire with you. God is refining you and preparing you for what is about to come, refining and preparing you for this reviving that is about to take place that will cause a spiritual awakening of the unsaved that you come into your sphere of spiritual influence. This spiritual awakening will see manifestations and demonstrations of supernatural encounters in our daily lives and within our communities like we have never seen before. We need to be ready for this great move of God that is coming so that we are partakers and vessels of this great move of God and not just observers.

Keep pressing into God’s presence, seeking Gods heart and Kingdom first and know that God is doing a deep work within you, refining you from the inside to define your outside sphere of spiritual influence.

Speak and alter the destiny of your future. God is about to breath on your situation.

Nathan – Friday 9th Oct 2015

While I was in Worship this morning, I received a vision of a ship in the ocean going in a certain direction. I then saw a tongue and just the head of a person. As the head of this person opened their mouth to speak, the ship then suddenly altered course and was now going in a completely different direction. The Lord then reminded me of the following scripture

“A man’s [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil]. Death and Life are in the power of the tongue, And they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]“ Proverbs 18;20-21 AMP. In Matthew 12:37, Jesus says the following “For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced” AMP.

The Lord began to show me that there are many in The Body Of Christ right now, that the direction they are heading in is being dictated by the words they are speaking and confessing over themselves. Words that are negative and damaging to their future and current circumstances, that are not aligned with the Word of God. Our tongue is like the rudder of a ship that steers the direction of our life. Words we speak, creates an atmosphere that will physically manifest in your life. I feel that the Holy Spirit is wanting to impart a revelation on the power of our words and as we begin to speak words that align with the Word of God and with what God says, your life will make a sudden turn, a change of direction that will align you with Gods destiny and purpose for your life. When this happens, you will see new doors open that seemed to be shut, new opportunities with a fresh new vision for your life. You will see and feel an energizing of your Spirit that is lifted by God’s Spirit.

The power is in your tongue to create life or death in the circumstances of your future.

I also saw the sails of a ship, suddenly being filled with a gust of wind. The Holy Spirit revealed that there is also many in The Body of Christ that have already changed direction, altered the course of their future by aligning their words, declarations and decrees to what the Word of God says and the Promises God has spoken, but are yet to see the fruits of their re-alignment. They have poured out and sacrificed everything, continued to trust and have faith in The Lord but feel as though their sails have run out of wind and may even feel that God has abandoned your situation or circumstances. The Lord is saying don’t give up, keep standing, keep pressing in and praising through the discomfort and pain of your current circumstances because The Lord is about to suddenly breath his Spirit upon you, that will not only fill your sails to continue but will also bring about a sudden breakthrough with supernatural encounters in which you will see the fruit of your labor. The blessing and provision you are about to witness in your life will be far beyond what you thought or imagined. The doors you think that need to be opened are already open and if you continue to stand firm, what God has decreed & declared in the Heavenly spiritual realm will cross through the open door and manifest into your life in this physical earthly realm. The Lord has not abandoned your situation, He is standing with you.

Praying from your Heavenly seat

Nathan – Thursday 1st Oct 2015

The Kingdom within us is more powerful than the kingdom around us. We have dual citizenship, we are citizens of Heaven and citizens of Earth. The question is, do we live from Earth toward Heaven or do we live from Heaven toward Earth.

The Lord has been speaking to me over the last couple of days about the way I pray and how my perspective of where I see myself seated when I pray, can not only change my current circumstances, but can alter my present to be aligned with how I see my future without causing delay.

The word of God says that the exceeding greatness of God’s power is towards us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He worked in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at the right hand of God in the Heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Eph 1:19-23

In Romans 8:17 it says that we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. In Romans 12:5 it says that we are one body in Christ.

If we are in Christ and Christ is seated at the right hand of God in Heavenly places, then we are also seated in Heavenly places. If God has placed Christ far above all principalities and powers of this earthly realm, then we also through our salvation in Christ, have been placed above all principalities and powers of this earthly realm. If we are the body of Christ and God has put all things under His feet, then God has also put all things under our feet. Our true identity is in Christ and Christ in us, gives us the Authority of Christ to rule over all things of this earthly realm and over all our circumstances. By this authority, all our circumstances must come into align with the Word of God and with our Heavenly citizenship which grants us access to all the blessing of Heaven in which we are joint heirs with Christ.

With this understanding, our prayer life should not be motivated by the negative circumstances around us. A book that I am reading at the moment called “Spirit Wars” by Kris Vallotton, describes this as a symptom of our seating arrangement. Earthly seating creates reactionary prayers. Yes we need to pray for these things and decree that our circumstances come into align with what the word of God says but if this is all we are focused on in our prayers, then we are placing too much much focus on what the enemy is doing rather than what God has already done through the finished works of Jesus. An Earthly seated position is not where we want to be praying from, we want to be praying from a Heavenly seated position which is our rightful place, seated with Christ on his Heavenly throne. From this seating arrangement, we live a prayer life that is powerful and on the offensive rather than defensive. Our prayers become prophetic declarations that direct our paths and history. With this seated position, our circumstances in this earthly realm will have no choice but to align themselves with what the Word of God says and with the promises that God has spoken and declared over us. It allows us to see our future as God sees it and gives us the ability to speak forth and prophesy our future into our present. We can change our present situation by prophesying a different future into being, one that is aligned with the promises of God and with what the Word of God says. We then start to pray with words like “God I thank you that you have done” rather than “God I thank you that you will do” or “Lord, I thank you have given me access to all promises you have spoken over me” not “Lord I thank you that you will give me access” or “God, I thank you that I am completely healthy and healed in all areas of my life” not “God please will you heal me”. With this perspective in our prayer life, the Kingdom within us will begin to dictate and direct the world around us so that we are no longer living as victims but as Victors in Christ Jesus.
