“He will pour out His Spirit on ALL mankind.” God has repeatedly highlighted this promise to me with emphatic evidence.

Many of the mentors in my life and ministry have come from Baptist roots. Mae Tucker, Tony Cooper, Lonnie Daugherty, and the influence of Keith Reed.

My current [Spirit-Filled] Pastor is from the Christian Church.

I have seen Baptist, Methodist, Catholics, and mentally-challenged persons receive the baptism of the Spirit.

The Second Great Awakening began at Presbyterian meetings.

Also, I have an Episcopalian friend who has received this Holy Ghost blessing.

Believe it or not, I once witnessed Goths (dressed in black) crying and praying for the Holy Spirit to come and fill them. And, you know what, God didn’t withhold from them.

You see, It doesn’t matter what denomination, race, gender, or age a person is. If they are 💯 for Jesus, humble, and hungry then this promise is for them.

Lately, God has been teaching me a brand new wrinkle to this truth of outpouring. When He promised to pour out on ALL, He was also speaking of places. God is no respecter of persons OR places. I know, that seems like a hard saying for some that are reading this, but God wants ALL to have hope. He wants to pour out on the just AND the unjust. Meaning, the folk we wouldn’t qualify or consider…He’s going to include them too.

I went to NY the day after they passed terrible, new abortion laws. My Facebook timeline was full of hatred toward them and warnings of coming judgement. But, while I was there, I felt the love and whispers of God blowing in the wind.

I went to California the week after a series of widely reported Earthquakes were happening there. Again, my Facebook timeline was filled with hatred toward them and pronounced judgements supposedly coming from God. However, while I was there, God visited me with dreams, and He imparted to me promises of revival that were coming to that place.

The same people that were missing the heart of God concerning those places, probably due to the demonic deception of politics, are also occasionally posting prophecies of Donald Trump receiving the baptism of the Spirit. Well, I hope he gets saved and that actually happens. But, —don’t hate me—I’m not writing off a Revival breaking out in the Democratic Party.

I even prophesy that a national political figure in the Democratic Party encounters Jesus and receives the infilling of The Spirit.

An outpouring of the Spirit will come upon the minorities, actors and actresses, athletes, and academia.

Awakening is going to be broader than what many have been thinking of. The Holy Spirit blessing isn’t an exclusive club. Another Jesus Movement is coming. And…this time, when Jesus begins to move, He will come as the fire-baptizer. The same way that forerunner-John saw whole cities saved and he baptized them in water, Jesus is coming (before His coming) and whole sub-cultures will be saved, and He will baptize them with Holy Ghost fire.

So, watch the rain. It wants to preach. It wants to prophesy. It wants to come.

Prophetic Word. 8/27/19

There will be a Pauline revival. Even now –Without worry–the embattled Apostle overlooks his words.

Heaven is about to redeem the message of Paul and infuse his words with fresh fire. Many have watered down, misconstrued, and terribly abused the teachings of Paul until the Script is hardly recognizable from its original intent. Nevertheless, the righteous soul of those searing passages is about to rise to the surface.

Many of the hottest messages in the next Awakening will use Pauline texts.

Expect new theological persons to emerge with fiery awareness and revolutionary understanding of Paul’s words.

Also, look for catchphrases born of Pauline Scriptures to fuel the sermons, prayers, and songs of the next season.

The trend of exaggerated grace, condoned lukewarmness, and sin-filled churches is about to change. A sure word is emerging. Holiness will be renewed.

This is an hour in which we need the prophets, especially mature prophetic voices. It is important that God can reveal His plans and secrets. Furthermore, It is important that prophetic words are rightly articulated, and the will of God is activated.

In my circle of revival

culture and charismatic excitement, I often encounter peculiar people with extraordinary tales and eccentric language.

I’m careful to be slow in my assessments; familiarity should not be my guiding light. Also, being critical is not a healthy norm. Still, eclectic and bizarre personalities are often drawn to the anointing.

The anointing is wild and those who already live on the fringes appreciate it and bare witness with its untamed liveliness and unfettered fire.

Accordingly, a growing passion resides in me to honor and cultivate spiritual maturity. Young, emerging gifts and callings are an exciting part of the Holy Spirit outpouring. Hence, there is a need for godly guides, teachers, and mentors. I have those in my life and I dare to love and help those who want the same from me.

These are fun times…and the best is yet to come.

In the meantime, let’s be wise, humble, and teachable. Otherwise, the plans of God might be hindered by our own mistakes.

And, to be more specific, allow me to mention some areas where I see people making frequent errors, or falling into imbalance:

Angels, Numbers, Dreams, and Visions. These Experiences are often tricky to interpret and communicate. If one is willing to invest in teaching and training, they can become extremely useful. Furthermore, If a person is willing to submit their spiritual experiences to a trusted leader, mentor, or prophetic council, they can be effective, helpful, and they will accelerate their own gifting.

The narrative of justice is like a stream. One should note, however, this flowing, ongoing promise is a wild ride. It doesn’t come with a remote control, nor will our snapping fingers or brewing impatience influence it’s currents or trajectory. Also, this metaphorical trickle of hope is seemingly full of rocks, with slow-rolling turns, and unforeseen things. Nevertheless, don’t despair, for the eyes of the sovereign one are watching over its motion; nothing will stop its coming.

Throughout the Holy Bible, the great author keeps on telling of His translucent nature. Those with a sanctified spirit will hear it in the pages. The subconscious secret is always there. It’s as if you’re alone, standing at the water when the wind rushes in and chases away your loneliness and comforts you with: “it’s ok now. There are no wolves here. It’s just us.”

That’s the moment the healing begins. It’s the moment you realize… the rocks weren’t in a river-bed, they were in your hand. And the lack of straightforward flow was really your own heart and soul that needed ironing. So, while you thought you were waiting on God’s gavel to come crushing down on your enemies’ heads, God was waiting for your mind to come to order; to be filled with grace.

John 2:19 NASB

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

Jesus walked this earth and He changed the religious landscape, bringing a real paradigm shift to how people worship.

I long for this kind of change to shake up what we call church. I yearn for a paradigm shift to come restore and renew us back to something pure, real, simple, powerful, loving, and alive.

The old wine-skins are unchanging, un-stretchable. Maybe it’s time they burst (or burn).

I want to be sad about endangered relics and a beautiful, old building on fire. But, I’m not. I know that’s insensitive, but it’s honest.

Let the billionaires stitch that veil, and vestige back up if they want to. For me, on the other hand, I’m just wishing I could catch on fire too. No, I’m not meaning to use cheap cliches or flippant metaphors. I didn’t invent this language. Yes, maybe (probably) the verbiage has been cheapened. Nevertheless, if I prune and clip the dead trimmings all the way down to the quick, I think I’ll feel the real again.

We’ve got to have new wine. This generation is more desperate than it realizes for a taste of God.

Mike Bickle recently said, “we’ve got to have a RESET.” And, Francis Chan has been saying, “something has got to change. We can’t keep going as-is.”

I sense we are at one of those junctures where a new model, new idea is about to be realized.

In the life and times of Moses, worship drastically changed; God drew near and His people witnessed and experienced the holy…the supernatural.

In the life and times of David, worship drastically changed. The presence of God became the central, primary focus. The flame of glory was visible.

On the day of Pentecost, prayer and worship drastically changed. The wind, the sound, and the fire of Heaven suddenly manifested. God came so near that they could feel, hear, and see Him at work.

Consider: God worked through Moses to bring what was perhaps the mightiest, most organized civilization on the planet down to its crumbling knees.

Also: David was a replacementto what was supposed to be a highly-respected, normalized, ruling regime.

And: Much of the teaching that came from the New Testament Church was a dismantling of old, expired ways.

I pray that we hear, feel, and see Jesus in this hour, and we don’t miss our day of visitation.

Let the dead bury its own dead. There are too many dead churches, dead systems and dead organizations. I’m following Jesus.
