Mantles from Heaven

Andy Sanders:

I Saw Mantles Falling from Heaven to Earth—I Was Especially Drawn to the Third Mantle: The Unseen and Undiscovered Dimension of God

Amos 9:13-14, "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. I will bring back the exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit."

Mantles Falling From Heaven

Recently, right when I was falling asleep, detailed images of mantles fell from Heaven on the earth. These looked like millions of robes, and each had a name given for many of the finely-crafted heavenly robes. Definitely a fascinating scene to go to bed to! Though there is much to conclude about this sight, we must ask, "What is God trying to say here?" If we are not diligent when Jesus gives us something, it can easily be treated with contempt.

We quickly read into only one item that "stuck out" which God revealed, and missed the other hundred pieces of insight that He was also trying to show. This easily happens by speaking, acting, and moving too fast on something God gave us when He really wanted us to "chew on it" for a long time before releasing the information. Luke 2:19, "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." She did this because she knew it was not time for the world to know. This is how we must approach what God gives us: Pondering each piece and really discovering more than what we first see.

The mantles I saw represented the traits, gifting, and deity of Christ resting on the earth in greater strength. There were many different names on these robes. Some were names of God and others were names of people—both alive today and passed on. As these glorious robes touched different parts of the world, it was noticeable that some of them carried the same distinct traits as others did. And though various mantles remained empty for a long time, others were quickly filled, as if the person was at the right place at the right time. A divine collision between person and mantle.

These robes that were falling into the new era had noticeably strong regional and assigned authorities upon them. This gave authenticity to the commissioning of the person who received them. Without a doubt, this was a personal and divine impartation from the hand of God. The Lord backed these mantles with a generational breakthrough power that made callings complete in due time. Easily seen...these robes affected many generations to come.

While watching this spectacular event unfold from the sky, God gave this insight:

1 Kings 19:19, ...Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.

2 Kings 2:13, He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.

Parallel these two Scriptures together with me for just a moment and some of you will discover where you are and what is about to happen. In 1 Kings the initial commissioning took place from Elijah to Elisha. This is where most are. They have begun, but have not been fully activated by the new double portion, found in 2 Kings. What happened then was that the chariots picked up Elijah and dropped Elijah's mantle to Elisha. POW! A spiritual explosion producing the actual manifestation of the glorious new double portion over Elisha's life. Thus, Elijah's last miracle became Elisha's first. The new manifestation of the double portion is now on Elisha in greater power than it actually was on Elijah. God gave the initial dimensions of many of your callings and commissions ("1 Kings" encounter). Now it's time for the "2 Kings" encounter, which is both mantles colliding in the Spirit at once! Some of you are in between the 1 Kings and the 2 Kings realm.

These falling robes I saw represent the 2 Kings "double portion." In a double portion scenario there are two mantles bearing large amounts of fruit at the exact same time. This creates rapid growth and accelerated maturation of the Body of Christ. Elijah's mantle came upon Elisha as the chariots of fire went up. Did Elijah's mantle stop functioning at that time? NO! It increased and was released in greater power and capacity than when it was resting on Elijah. Now Elijah's and Elisha's mantle are both fully functioning in power. What was once hard to plow can now be easily sown and reaped at the same time. This is a double portion anointing.

The anointing (mantle) is from the same God, but imparted to many different people. This is the key ingredient! God will drop mantles in abundance on ALL flesh. That means you! Elijah carried a mantle similar to John the Baptist. They both came as forerunners to Jesus Christ. They boldly fought against religion. Elisha's mantle also looks similar to Jesus'. They were twice as affective as their predecessors. Elisha and Jesus stood before the rich all the way down to the lowly and poor.

The mantles I saw in the vision will be more intensified than in times past. What appeared to be unfinished with some of the past mantle carriers will become complete in the years ahead. Just like Elisha functioned with his and Elijah's covering, so will it be with these carriers. In all reality, these mantles are really from the Lord Himself. These are just trickles of what is coming. As these robes land on their rightful owners, they will spark many creative and unusual encounters. Note that many mantles fell together and at once. Expect the unexpected when you gather together. Unity is your weapon in this season.

Though there were many mantles that fell, I will elaborate on three that stuck out dramatically. This is imperative in 2010. Remember, it is only the beginning stages of what is later to come.

The First Mantle: Revolution

In the vision, many mantles fell from all over the skies as if it were raining. One particular mantle created a standard against heresy. Their speech became bold and persuasive like the Apostle Paul. The Lord released a heavy presence upon these individuals, causing people to flock to them and hear what they had to say. They spoke freedom and grace only by the Cross. The more they spoke, the stronger the anointing was. Truth surrounded their hearts and minds. Discernment protected every word from their mouth. Many yokes of religion were broken.

This first mantle that came to rest on the land reminded me of Martin Luther (taken from: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia):

1483 – 1546, Age 62. He founded Protestantism, one of the major movements within Christianity out of the Catholic Church. He was a German monk, theologian, university professor, priest, and church reformer whose ideas started the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. Luther taught that salvation is a free gift of God and received only through true faith in Jesus as redeemer from sin, not from work or good deeds. His theology challenged the authority of the pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of Christian doctrine and all baptized Christians are priests before God (priesthood of all Believers). His reformation began by the publication of his 95 Theses in 1517 against the claims of indulgence preachers that God's punishment for sins could be avoided by buying them. Luther's refusal to retract his writings at the demand of the pope in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms meeting in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by Pope Leo X and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor. He wrote in the language of the people (instead of Latin) and made it more accessible, causing a tremendous impact on the church and German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the translation of the King James Bible.

The revolution carriers rising up will be like none ever seen. The Church is finally being born again.

The Second Mantle: The Pioneer and Inventive Mantle

2 Chronicles 36:23, This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: "The Lord, the God of Heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and He has appointed me to build a temple for Him at Jerusalem in Judah..."

This is like the creative sojourners of those on the Mayflower. They were not afraid to take risk when the hand of God was upon them. These will have the creative and inventive ideas that are not confined to past inventions. The inventors will get their thoughts directly from the Father. They are the Benjamin Franklins of our day. The ones who see beyond the lightning in the sky and envision an entire city filled with lights. These mantles of design will create a completely new era of thinking. Many lives will be forever changed by some of the inventions coming on the earth from these Christians. I believe the funding from just one of these inventions will create enough money to financially free ministries for their entire duration of service.

Take a look at Mr. Marpeck below (taken from "The Marketplace" 2009 Marpeck: A Life of Dissent and Conformity):

Mr. Marpeck was born 1495, in Rattenberg, Austria. In 1527 he was ordered by the government to persecute Anabaptists, whom he himself was. He worked his way into business and political realms influencing both, and at the same time figured out how to educate and mentor the Anabaptist. In 1528, his belongings and property were seized; he then took on a different life to flee from further persecution. He moved to Strasbourg and was hired to manage the city's timber operations, which also included the entire section of the timber transport by river. It was here he came up with an idea to revolutionize the weaving industry by establishing a bleaching operation for the entire community.

Being that the industries were all built, at the time, along the waterways, those further distances from the water were poorer due to lack of trade and production. Marpeck come up with the idea of storing water higher up to produce pressure in the water so that the areas away from the river could have what we now call "piped and pressurized water." This opened up an entire new door for industry in regions that otherwise would have never had anything but dry dirt. His creative and intuitive thoughts propelled him in 1550 to Public Works Director of the entire region. In spite of those still wanting to persecute him, his inventions made him in greater demand than for the grave. During this entire time, he set right under the noses of people that wanted him dead because he consistently wrote to the growing movement of the Anabaptist, which at the time was illegal. God gave him such favor and authority in creativity that many overlooked that he was a fugitive.

This goes to show how powerful a creative mantle really is. It is one that can prolong your life and affect many people around you. Complete communities were touched by just one mantle. As this mantle stood hovering over the earth, it was apparent that those who would soon carry this precious commodity were folks who did not have selfish motives. They were not the hoarders of their time nor the greedy. Like a seed planted in the ground, funds (currency) began to flow through these mantles. The more the carriers released to others, the more God watered their seed. They were Believers who loved to give more than they received. I felt the Lord say during this encounter, "Many have tried to create money in their own strengths. I AM the Creator. Are you ready for Me to generate for you?"

The Third Mantle: The Unseen and Undiscovered Dimensions of God

While watching this breath-taking episode unfold, I understood what some of the mantles represented. Unlike the others, this third mantle was revealed at a much later time than the rest. This robe was unlike any ever seen. It was not shaped like the others and had no name either. It had many rare and distinct colors unlike any ever discovered. It was exquisitely brilliant. At some instances, you could see a reflection upon the mantle. At other times, one could see right through it, but you knew it was still there. It was as if the material was reflective, transparent, and mixed with undiscovered colors all at the same moment. Sensational...for lack of a better word!

This is the Lord's creative, unseen, and undiscovered dimensions that have not touched man's comprehension yet. Yes, we know a lot about Jesus. Many can talk about Him day and night, but there is still much more to be exposed. Imagine looking into space or going deep down under the oceans for the first time. Wouldn't it feel like a whole new world? This is how I feel about this spectacular mantle. Obviously, this splendid robe was on the earth when Jesus came because He is truth and in Him is completion. This extraordinary mantle solely represents the many undiscovered and unseen aspects of Jesus Christ.

John 21:25, Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

There were more of this mantle than any other one. This robe fell last, yet brewed on the earth longer than them all. This is new. It is being unveiled like a child in the womb. You know it is there. You feel it. Briefly, you have touched it. Most of all you know it is real. We have not fully laid hold of it like we will begin to in the coming years. This is the unseen and undiscovered dimensions of God. The Lord's realm of new enlightenment and gleaming glory has finally begun.

Romans 8:18, I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

His Throne-Chair is our Hearts

Mahesh Chavda:

How Big is Your Chair? The Bigger the Chair, the Greater the Authority and Victory!

Encounter with a Warring Angel

Several weeks ago I was sitting in my library when I suddenly heard a noise behind me. I turned, and there was an angel right there. He was young-looking, majestic, awesome, full of strength and joy and vigor. He was smiling, but there was also the fragrance and atmosphere of battle all around him. He was a warring angel, and he had just come from battle. I had the impression that I was not his assignment. He was literally coming from one battle and was heading off to another one. But in between he just landed momentarily, looked at me, smiled and asked, "How big is your chair?" Then, just as suddenly as he appeared, he departed.

After he left, and before I even had time to process his question, "How Big is your chair?" I realized that I was hearing music all around. In those moments that he was there, he carried with him the vibrations of the hymn, "Come Thou Almighty King: Come Thou Almighty King/Help us Thy Name to sing/Help us to Praise…Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days."

It was as if this hymn were the song of the battle the angel had just won. The sound and words lingered in the atmosphere surrounding him as he carried the message from the Lord, "How big is your chair?" Before I could even ponder the question, the Holy Spirit answered, "Psalm 22:3. You are enthroned on the praises of Your people."

When the Lord asks a question it is loaded. The message was not about my chair. It was about the Lord's chair. His throne. How big is His throne? How big is the chair we have made for Him in our hearts? We make His chair big through our praises.

We Represent the One Who is in the Big Chair

He is enthroned on our praises. God is speaking to us strategically in this hour. Make it personal in your life—become a vessel of His glory as you enthrone the King of kings in your heart. The bigger your chair, the more awesome you make God, the more awesome the release of His glory. How do we make God awesome? We begin to praise Him. We magnify the Lord as we proclaim His goodness, harmonize with His Word and exalt His mighty name. We become more and more in tune with the Throne of Heaven, and you become more aware of His awesome power and authority. You become a possessor of the truth, and in that context your chair gets bigger. The bigger the chair, the greater the authority, the greater the victory!

We represent the One who is in the big chair. He puts His servants in situations where they are responsible to bring in the Presence, to carry a big chair mentality into that situation. The bigger His throne, the more you will begin to resonate the supernatural reality of Heaven, and will see with eyes that go beyond the natural realm.

Some of the greatest warriors are the Zulu tribes in South Africa. In fact, the Zulu army used to put terror in the British Army. But just as powerful as they are in the natural, when they found Jesus, they became awesome warriors in the Spirit. These men dripped miracles, signs and wonders. They never became famous, as they were content to live simply off the land with their flocks, but they knew the King of Heaven and carried His presence.

I was friends with one of these Zulu ministers, Elijah Maswangani. We used to minister together in Jerusalem quite frequently. In one of our times together he told me the story of his mentor, an old Zulu warrior. During a crusade, he was asked to open the meeting in prayer. The old man simply stood and beheld the Lord and said, "Awesome…Awesome." Then he looked down, and once more he said, "Awesome." That was the end of our meeting, because the enthroned One suddenly appeared. The tent was filled with the Glory of God. Every stretcher was emptied. Every blind eye opened. People ran to the altar in order to meet this King and be saved. That old Zulu warrior carried a big chair.

When you get into the presence of God, you may have been praying. You may have been struggling. You may have come to an impasse in your life. But you just say, "Awesome." You just step into worship and that's it. The angels are loosed. At Bethel, Jacob came to a place where the gate to Heaven was standing open. Angels ascended and descended from the Throne to earth. Jacob said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the gate of Heaven." God wants to raise up people who can come into a situation and just say, "Awesome." We connect with the Living God and become a conduit for His glory to touch the earth. We behold Him, and angels take care of the details. We worship the covenant God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and He brings us into covenant breakthrough.

We often make faith religious—it's all about us quoting a hundred Scriptures, making confessions over our situation, getting our theology in order. Knowing the Word is good. Rehearsing His promises is powerful. But when faith becomes religious, it is like a rocket trying to lift us up to God, in our own strength.

There is an ease in the glory! We come into revelation of His awesomeness, His power, His majesty, and we come into communion with the God of covenant breakthrough. This is resting in the finished work of Jesus.

Thanksgiving and Rejoicing

This is how we began the Wakey Wakey: 40 Forty Days to Awaken America, and this is where we end—rejoicing in the finished work of Jesus Christ. We have fasted and prayed. We have humbled ourselves according to 2 Chronicles 7:14, and now we can rest in His promises—because His guarantee is that, "I will hear, and I will answer." We have fasted, so now let's celebrate with thanksgiving and rejoicing. How big is your chair?

When that messenger arrived in my library, the room was infused with the strains of "Come Thou Almighty King." Later when I shared with Bonnie what had happened, she immediately saw the angel had just come from victory in the American Revolution and was jubilantly heading to the next battle for our liberty—the one we are in today. One of our friends was with us, and immediately googled "Come Thou Almighty King."

Amazingly, what she found was that during the Revolutionary war a group of Hessian soldiers fighting for the British, stormed into a church on Long Island and demanded that the congregation show allegiance to the British tyranny by singing "God Save the King." The organist started the tune that we call "America" but the people, true to the colonies' cause and their God sang, "Come Thou Almighty King." The song was an anthem birthed in the Great Awakening that held spiritual authority over the tyranny and humanistic governing, and gave sound to the Rider on the White horse advancing His Kingdom in the mouths of faith-filled Believers. They had a big chair.

"The people who know their God will do exploits!" (Daniel 11:32). The people who know their God intimately, in communion with Him, will do exploits. He is giving us signs right now. Let us stand and revel in Him and His victory. Let us thank Him in advance, "calling things that are not as though they are" for the turn-around in America. Let us proclaim His goodness and mercy in awakening America. Let us celebrate!

Your praise can shape your history. Your praise can move mountains and bring Heaven down to where you are today.

Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out.

Romans 11:35-36 (The Message Bible):

Is there anyone around who can explain God?

Anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do?

Anyone who has done Him such a huge favor

that God has to ask His advice?

Everything comes from Him;

Everything happens through Him;

Everything ends up in Him.

Always glory! Always praise!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Favor on a thankful heart

Paige Norfleet:

"God Pours Out His Favor on the Thankful Heart"

Recently I had a vision of the Lord in which His arms were lifted high and I could see that they were loaded up with bundles—bundles of blessings just waiting to be poured out upon those who were full of faith and have a heart of thanksgiving. We are currently in a season where we must continually remind ourselves of His faithfulness, not because of the coming holiday, but because of the battle that is being waged for righteousness.

I am not a particularly nostalgic person and I do not yearn for the happiness of a former time, but God has been drawing me, even before I rise, to revisit various moments in my life when He moved on my behalf, and it is building a thankfulness in me that was unexpected.

My father is a great story teller. I have many fond memories of listening to him recount his own childhood and his own personal battles and victories through the years. When my children were still very young, "Paw" began sharing those same stories with them, and they listened with wide eyes that were full of anticipation. It is my hope that my children will share those same stories with their children and grandchildren, for there is great value in this.

Deuteronomy 4:9-11

Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, especially concerning the day you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, "Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children."

If we do not recount the many ways that God has delivered us, it will be lost to the next generation. The knowledge and understanding that we have gained as we have watched God deliver us must be passed on in order for the next generation to build upon that knowledge and in order to deeply secure their faith.

God's Desire is to Bless!

What I saw in the vision were armloads of blessings waiting to be distributed, and I sensed that the Father was searching for those who are thankful and who are expecting Him to move mightily on their behalf!

"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." This Scripture is taken from 2 Chronicles 16 where Judah was once again facing the prospect of war. Asa, king of Judah, chooses to enter into an unholy alliance based on fear and doubt rather than being reminded of how God had delivered them in the past. Hanani the seer admonishes them that God searches the earth for those that are full of faith in order to bless them, but because of their foolishness they will now be bound to a season of wars.

Joshua 4:15-24

Then the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying, "Command the priests who bear the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan." Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up from the Jordan." And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.

Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho. And those twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal. Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What are these stones?' then you shall let your children know, saying, 'Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land'; for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over, that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

We must never forget that God's love for mankind was so great that He went as far as to sacrifice His Son. Why is it that we believe that today, in the hour of our need, that His mercy is no longer available and His love for us is any less? Our God is the same God who delivered His people from the bondage of the Egyptians, and in the process parted the Red Sea before them and crossed them over into the promised land. He is the same God who sent His only Son, whom He loved, to save us from the bondage of sin, and He is the same God who is ready to move on our behalf today!

Meditate on What You've Learned!

Most of us have moments in our lives that are precious to us because God moved in our behalf. If we don't have them personally, we know someone else who has; and because He promises that He is no respecter of persons, what He has done for one He will do for another. Those miraculous moments have such a powerful impact on us at the moment that we think we could never forget how faithful God is.

But in fact, as time passes and the demands of life invade, those details fade and become less profound. As pressures increase and we hear the constant reminders of the increase in wickedness all around us, our faith is shaken and hope can become deferred. However, as we begin to revisit the victories of the past, the details begin to return and our hearts begin to experience again the delight of that event that we once held so dear. Not only does it stir our emotions, but it can awaken thankfulness and faith to a heart that was once being bombarded with discouragement!

Philippians 4:8-9

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

The first information that we receive is often what is taken in by our natural senses (such as our eyes and ears). As we assess the challenges before us we begin to calculate how tall and wide this mountain is and just what it will take to conquer it. The mountains that we are currently facing cannot be conquered in terms of human strength or wisdom; in fact, I am repeatedly hearing, "It's going to take an act of God," which is usually followed by a solemn sigh that holds little hope or expectation that anything at all can be done. If our spirits are not anchored in the promises of God we will make unholy alliances with the enemy and agree with him concerning our strategy and what the outcome of our circumstances will be. God tells us to meditate on His goodness because it works!

God is prompting me to go back and be reminded of all that He has done in the past in my life and to be aware of the ways that He is moving in the lives of those around me. Discouragement is giving way to hope as I revisit what God has done! As I verbally recount and testify of His working power in my life I can feel strength and faith begin to arise. Suddenly the situation does not seem so impossible and I feel like an overcomer.

Revelation 12:11-12

And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

Once the fog of hope deferred is removed and we are reminded of the promises that God has spoken to us we can begin to declare them in faith. After all, God is not a man that He should lie. Our hearts of thanksgiving and praise will prepare a way for the favor of our God to be released and those armloads of blessings will begin to be poured out upon us!

Look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near!

Chuck D. Pierce:

"A Prophecy: Come and See! Help is There!"

Dear "Seeing" Saints:

We had a great service recently at Glory of Zion. When Joe Askins was speaking, the Lord showed me how, during this Thanksgiving month, that we could help people. My message was "Come and See!" The prophecy below will encourage you. Also read 2 Kings 4.

Come and See—A PROPHECY:

"I am pulling YOU up and out of YOU! You have become too internalized. You are limiting your vision by looking within yourself. I AM showing you how the heavens rejoice in Me. I am pulling you up out of what you see and showing you how the heavens rejoice in Me. Come and celebrate with the Hosts of Heaven in a way you have never celebrated before. Rise into a place of celebration. If you will come up and dance with the Hosts of Heaven and enter in with Me, the majestic God of the stars, I can cause the wars of the earth to realign with My majestic course I have for the nations of the earth.

"Come up! Come up! Over the nation of the United States, I showed the stars that were flying. You sing of the stars, but come up and dance with the stars. You sing of your patriotism, but come up into a place of freedom that you will be secure with Me. See Me! See Me!

"In the fields where you are waiting, you keep waiting and you keep looking at the sheep you are tending, but it is the stars and the expression of the heavens that will surprise you. Fear not! Come up in that place where the announcement is forming and I will draw near to you in the field that you are longing to break through. Your eyes have grown dim looking at the harvest of your field. You have grown familiar with your surroundings. Come up and have renewed eyes for the harvest.

"I Am God of the Harvest. If you will see the harvest the way I see the harvest going into this new season, you will enter EACH harvest time with a renewed expectation. Come up where you can hear the sounds of the budding of the fruit for the next season. Harvest and budding sounds are already beginning to happen in the heavens.

"Come up, and you will hear the sounds of what is budding forth for you. Come up, and you will be able to see where the ground is breaking open. Come up where the bells of change are already ringing. Come up, and you will hear the sound of the changes before these changes rearrange your way. Come up, and you will become My change agent in the earth.

"Let Me Pack Your Bags and Show You What to Take for this Next Season"

"Come up, and you will hear where the nations are changing. You won't be confused over which nations I AM seeing. I have an inheritance of the nations. In your view, you believe your nation is the leading nation of change. Come up, and you will see the nations in which I am effecting change that will produce a domino effect in My inheritance.

"Before I formed you, I knew you. While I was forming you in the womb, I was causing you to be able to rise up and see Me. Know that I formed you to go before the changes of the earth. Come up! I have already sanctified you. In your striving to be pure, come up into My purity and you will hear. You will say, 'Now I can lead nations in knowing God's grace and purity.'

"Let Me pack your bags and show you what to take for this next season. Come up, for I have called you to be a leader of this change structure. The heavens are changing. Come up into the change of the heavens. I have put My word deep within you and I have caused My word to begin to form. Come up with Me and begin to deliver that word in the heavenly realm so you can run before the pack of the earth in the earth this day.

"Prepare your eyes! You will see some things you have not seen before. Prepare your eyes, for you will begin to see Me. I have a face and I have hands. I have a heart bigger than any land. You look at the lands and you do not see My heart. You do not see how My heart is beating the sound of change for your life and land from Heaven.

"You will say, 'But Lord, I can't speak, for I'm not sure of what to say.' If you will come up, the words will begin to permeate through your skin, through your emotions. My heart is bigger for you than you know. If you will come up and see Me face to face, you will begin to see and feel My word beginning to form through all your being. You will speak to your family. You will speak to a person on the street and they will change immediately, for you will wear Heaven's realm and you will speak Heaven's heart and you will be filled and your mouth will express an atmosphere that you are not walking in now."

Anne Tate then prophesied, "As you come up, you will dance with My words around you. Revelation will surround you and lift you from your powerless state of mind. My words will surround you in such a way as it does the stars. For I AM the God of the stars. My mouth causes the stars to stay in their courses and do My assigned will. As you ascend in Me, I'm sending My words as a wreath around you. You will dance with My word. You will be full of My word. You will release the things that you are hearing in that atmosphere. You will cause that portal and that atmosphere to open over everyone you are around. Watch, and protect the portal that is developing over you."

Heaven's Open Window

Garris Elkins:

"2010—The Dawning of a New Day and a Year to Stand in Heaven's Open Window"

Dawning of a New Day

Recently, I prayed a simple prayer: "Lord, show me what the year 2010 will bring." As soon as those words were uttered, I saw an image. I saw someone standing inside a castle-like, stone building looking out through a large circular window. This person was looking towards a distant horizon. The dawning of a new day was just beginning.

The reflection of the early light was illuminating their face. The window was high up in an elevated position, many levels above the surrounding terrain. Because of where this person stood they were able to see the coming dawn before those who were still sleeping in the darkness at ground-level. This image reminded me of when I used to fly airplanes. I would pilot my aircraft into some distant airport just before sunrise. As I approached my destination I would be flying into the first rays of a new day.

As I continued to reflect on what I was seeing, I began to realize this was an image for 2010. God desires to position His people in a higher place of revelation so they can see what is coming. This higher place would change their perspective.

"2010—A Year to Stand in Heaven's Open Window"

As I gazed at the image of this new dawn I heard the Lord speak to my heart, "2010 will be a year that I will open a window of Heaven. If you are willing, you can come up higher and I will let you see the things I have planned. 2010 will be a year to see the approaching future if you will heed My invitation to come up to a higher place and stand in the open window of My purpose and vision.

"I brought you into Myself and made you Mine—heirs of promise—before you took your first step of destiny. I gave it all to you before you could perform the works of My hand. In this new dawn there will be signs of a higher purpose I want My people to see in the coming year. In 2010 look for signs that will manifest in the systems of the earthly kingdom. These signs will reflect My heart.

"There is Coming a Fullness of Joy"

"A fullness of My presence is not yet upon you. As My Word says, 'Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.' I am asking you to look into the darkness and prophesy a new dawn. As you prophesy, My joy will fall in your camp. I am sending a joy to My people that will appear premature. This joy of Heaven will rise in you like the dawning of a new day.

"There is coming a fullness of joy for My people that will be as bright as the noon day sun. This new dawn of joy will be seen by you while the world still sleeps in a lingering night of despair. The sounds of your joy will be heard in the camps of darkness before the new day is realized. You will begin to dance in the approaching dawn. Come up and stand in the window of Heaven and see what I am about to do.

"If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves before Me and seek My face in this new day, I will do a new thing in your midst. From the window of Heaven you will see the new dawn of joy before I call it to rise into the natural realm. All new dawns break in Heaven before they are seen in the earth.

"Come up and stand in the window of Heaven and see My coming heart and purpose for 2010."
