The New Wine...

Daily prophetic word 
The Season of Many Streams
“Yes, it is upon the earth now, when many streams of My Spirit shall flow.  Not just one expression here or there, but it will be depths of glory so great that none shall stop it.  So prepare for the streams of My Spirit to flow freely in new and different ways.”

Prophetic Scripture:
Ezekiel 47:5 - …and it was a river that I could not pass over:  for the waters were risen waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

Something changes in us when we realize that God wants to manifest in many powerful ways.  God is very divers in how He expresses Himself.  In Scripture He appeared to people in many different ways.  Sometimes as a burning bush, other times as a warrior and even as a wheel within a wheel.  This tells us that there are many “streams” to God’s Spirit.  In other words, He is a big and creative God and will flow in unique ways, many of which might be new to you and I.  Just because we have not seen something, does not mean that God is not on it.  In our limited lifespan, it is impossible to have experienced all the expressions of God’s Spirit.  That is why when the disciples of Jesus wanted to stop a man from casting out a demon in Luke 9:49-50, because he wasn’t part of their group, Jesus told them no!  He said, “Listen if He is for me, then let him alone!”  His expression and style might not have been just like theirs, but the Lord defended it.  We can easily get hung up in the style of one denomination or camp, but God is bigger than those limited things.  He is a God of many streams and He is going to manifest them freely in the earth today.  I believe the season is upon us when we won’t be able to ignore the greatness of it, because this kind of river of God’s Spirit will rise until it can’t be overlooked!  Get ready for God’s streams of anointing are upon us!

Prayer:

Lord, help me to step out into the fresh streams of the spirit today!  I want to walk with you on the raging rivers of Your mighty anointing.  I bind every religious mindset and take hold of new and living waters.  Let the expression of Your Spirit be manifest in my life right now!  I receive the new wine and flow of the Holy Ghost today! In the Name of Jesus, Amen!

Unexpected places ...

Daily prophetic word 
Water from the Rock!
"Expect provision and resources to come from the most unusual places," says the Spirit.  "For blessing is about to be poured out in unlikely locations and from unexpected sources.   For you will say that I didn’t know it would come in this way!"

Prophetic Scripture:
Psalm 105:41 – He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

There is no doubt that most of us would say that God is definitely all powerful.  However, far less people can confidently say that God will use His power for them when they need it!  Sometimes we limit our confidence in God to things that are humanly possible.  Yet, the verse above reminds us that God brought provision from a most unusual place that was not humanly possible.  He showed His power from a place where people probably were not looking because it wasn’t something they could have produced.  Of course, water coming from a rock is also a prophetic picture of Jesus, The Rock.  In other words, all provision comes from Him.  It comes from a miraculous source!  Instead of just looking to your job or some rich uncle to come through for you, perhaps it's time to refocus on Jesus and His supernatural provision!  He will bring what you need in the way you least expect or perhaps even wanted.  Sometimes it will happen right when you feel you have fallen into absolute failure and calamity, just like it did for Israel when the water came from the rock.  They were in a desert of what looked to be ultimate destitution.  But, suddenly a rock opened for them!  You can be certain of one thing, His provision might come from an unexpected place, but will always be what you need, right on time!

Prayer:

Father, I receive supernatural provision today.  I thank You that I can depend on Your resources.  I call upon all the Heavenly resources I need and I expect the unexpected blessings of God.  I do not place my eyes today on what I think should be the answer, but I place my eyes on Jesus my Rock and provider today!  I decree, blessings and provision, you must come to me now! In the Name of Jesus, Amen!

Rename it GRACE ...

Daily prophetic word 
Tear the Mountain Down
“Know that though the mountain seems large, it is vulnerable to your voice.”  For the Lord says, “Speak aloud from your spirit, and rename the mountain Grace!  Then refuse to let it speak to you anymore,” says the Spirit of the Lord!

Prophetic Scripture:
Zechariah 4:6-7 – …This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain:  and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shouting, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

Wow!  We are feared by the mountains that try to intimidate our lives!  Think of that!  Think about what mountain is trying to intimidate you today.  Perhaps you are very afraid of it, as the shadows of its size seem to loom over your head.  You can probably think right now of a name for your mountain.  Maybe it is fear, disease, anger, pain, rejection, debt, attacks, or something else.  Whatever the name of the mountain near you, you have the power to give it another name today.  Zerubbabel was a type of apostle sent to build the house of the Lord.  In any building process, there is generally a period of dirt removal.  Some stuff has to be taken out of the way for the new things to be developed.  Start some spiritual dirt removal by renaming that mountain of dirt before you.  Call it what the verse above says; call it Grace!  Grace means God’s favor that helps you when you are unable to do it.  It is by the grace of His Spirit that we get the job done.  That mountain will hear you say that and be forced to begin the process of getting out of the way.  Removing a big dirty mountain may feel slow at first, but that soil will become weaker and weaker as you use your spiritual bulldozer that has come to call that mountain Grace!

Prayer:

Father, I thank You that Your Spirit of grace rests in me.  It is by Your Spirit today that I overcome every obstacle.  Right now I rename the mountain of ______________________________ and I choose to call it Grace!  Mountain, I call you GRACE!  You have to be removed and changed because it is by the Spirit of the Lord that you have no authority to remain in my life! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

New wine coming - New Season

Daily prophetic word 
Time for New Wine!
"I have said My Spirit will be poured out in the last days.  The spiritual new wine is still flowing," calls the Spirit.  "Drink and see it wash you from the old and immerse you in the new!"

Prophetic Scripture:
Acts 2:16-18 – But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:  And on my servants and my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

This Scripture is a prophetic fulfillment from the book of Joel.  This prophet spoke by the Spirit about a season when God’s people were lacking and destitute; the vine had run dry.  Have you ever felt dry as you woke up to the same old things?  We all have, but there is an answer!  In Joel, the people were dry because the vine had dried up (Joel 1:12) and there was no place of refreshing to be found.  But later God began to speak of a time when the vine, which speaks of the filling of the Spirit, was going to be restored (Joel 2:19).  Then Jesus came speaking prophetically about the new wine coming—a new season.  He was preparing them for this day in the book of Acts when the new wine of the Holy Spirit was about to be poured out.  It was a complete infilling of God’s refreshing and filling power.  You can have the new wine of the Holy Spirit work in you afresh today!  Allow yourself to become immersed in it by surrounding yourself again with the things of the Spirit.  Let them wash over you.  Avoid the things that cause you to become spiritually dry.  Expect to have the supernatural flow of visions, miracles and the prophetic working in you today! 

Prayer:

Lord I worship You!  I give You praise today and I  ask that the new wine of the Holy Spirit would wash over me.  Let me become drenched in Your anointing and cause every dry place to be refreshed and watered in the spirit.  Cultivate in me the fresh anointing to prophesy, see visions and walk in the supernatural.  I expect it today.  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

The God of all wisdom...

Daily prophetic word 
Wisdom and Light
For wisdom is yours and I have answered every question.  You will know just what to do and how to do it.  This is the day of wisdom and light, for you know what to do, says the Lord.

Prophetic Scripture:
James 1:5-6 – If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering,  For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Believe in the wisdom of God today.  Regardless of what I have been going through in my life, I have always made it my habit to act as though I have the answer.  My answers?  No, I am committed to believing the I have God’s answers.  Even though I may not see the way at that moment, I live as though the way is clear.  Why?  Because the God of wisdom, gives it to me liberally.  There is an old saying, “Never let ‘em see you sweat!”  Well I believe that is true in spiritual things as well.  Don’t let the devil see you sweat and sometimes other people don’t need to see you sweat either.  Just stand there in faith and say with boldness, “God is in me, and I will always know what to do!”

Prayer:

Father, I thank You that I can ask You for wisdom today.  I trust that Your Word says what it means and so I expect Your wisdom to come to me in a mighty way.  I expect Your wisdom in the following situations: __________________________________________________ will know just how to handle everything with excellence and anointing.  I believe that I always know what to do and how to do it because I have You, the God of all wisdom, inside of me!  Thank you Lord.  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Time to impact the word ....

Daily prophetic word 
Jesus Everywhere!
“A time is upon you when My Name will be preached in multiplied effort,” says the Lord.  “My people across the globe are being positioned to impact the world through new innovative means and the heathen will say a new thing.  For you will hear them say in this season, Jesus is everywhere.”

Prophetic Scripture:
Galatians 1:16 – To reveal his son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen;…

We are in a time, when we need to seize the moment, as they say.  There is just something in the “air” that is about to set the world ablaze with the anointing.  Do you sense it?  Paul quoted the above verse in Galatians about his own call to ministry, but the truth is that we all have the golden opportunity to impact the world with the power of God.  The trap we can easily fall into is that of just assuming someone else will take up the effort.  If you are like me, you run through the day just trying to cross all your tasks off your list!  Easily we can forget the most important one and that is to preach Christ—whether it is verbal, through miracles or other manifestations of the Holy Spirit.  Just as the world is always improving technology, we should expect that God will give us witty ideas to spread the gospel if we will become available.  We want people everywhere to hear the cross, see miracles and the power of God.  I believe the Holy Spirit wants to give us a fresh blueprint on how to accomplish this work.  Ask God to give you new ideas and plans and pray for the Body of Christ to arise to the occasion.  Begin today to prophesy to your areas of influence and declare that people around you will be so touched that they can’t help but say Jesus is everywhere!

Prayer:

Lord, I make myself available to preach Christ among the heathen through the power of God.  I ask You to reveal to me the plans for me to do it—fresh ideas and a download of anointing comes upon me now!  I say that every life I touch will begin to say that You are everywhere!  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Strong and stable ...

Daily prophetic word 
Day of Fullfilled Purpose!
The Lord says, “Look to what I have anointed you for once again.  I am positioning you to walk in it and you will not be discouraged anymore,” says the Spirit of the Lord.

Prophetic Scripture:
2 Peter 5:10, But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

When God calls you to something, it doesn’t automatically mean you are ready to handle it.  Our Father of good wisdom wants to prepare us for every task for which He has anointed us.  Most of the time we want to run ahead or lag behind.  In either case, God wants to be the one who molds you into a stable vessel of light.  This way, you won’t find yourself in a ditch during the fight of faith!  I have always had big dreams for God, but I have had to realize that to handle big things means big changes and big preparation.  In the Scripture above, we find four things God wants to do in your life so you can handle His glory:  God wants to perfect (mature you), establish  (point you in one direction), strengthen (strong in knowledge and power), and settle (make a strong foundation) YOU.  Let Him do it and you will be a strong and stable Christian that He can powerfully use!

Prayer:

Father, today I give You the liberty to do all that is needed so I can walk in Your anointing.  You have the full right to mold me for handling the power of Your Spirit.  Let me see things the way You see them and I ask that You will help me to walk perfectly in Your timing.  Show me what I should do and not do today. Holy Spirit, be my teacher and helper.  I release to You today all control and I say that my flesh submits to the will of God for me.  I believe that You open and close doors and show me what tasks are ordained of You.  Lord, I rest in You as You make me Your anointed vessel of honor and light! In Jesus’ name... Amen

It's the season of jubilee ...

Daily prophetic word 
The Restoring Anointing
“For it is a restoring season among you.  I have released that anointing on My people.  All things stolen shall be restored and you shall expect perpetual Jubilee,” says the Spirit of the Lord!

Prophetic Scripture:
Nehemiah 5:12 – Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.

When Nehemiah began to rebuild Jerusalem, he discovered that the people were afflicted, in debt and bound to their captors.  He determined that this was a mockery to the covenant God had made with His people.  As he began to rebuild, he heard the cry of the people whose living had been stolen causing them great debt and interest payments.  He stood before the nobles and requested that they restore what rightfully belonged to the people.  Think about today what is rightfully yours.  Has it been taken from you?  Your finances, health, ministry or family?   You have a right to stand against the work of the devil trying to steal your goods!  In the Old Testament, the people of God celebrated a feast every 50 years called Jubilee.  In a Jubilee year, all lost was to be restored, just like the model in the Book of Nehemiah.  They were forgiven, their debts cancelled and slaves were returned to their families.  In the New Testament Jubilee is represented by Pentecost.  Through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit we are given a perpetual season of Jubilee!  You should expect that God is restoring everything the devil has stolen from your life illegally.  You have a covenant with God of restoration and perpetual Jubilee!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank You today that all that belongs to me must be restored!  I reclaim what is mine because I am in the season of Jubilee in the spirit.  I receive Your anointing of restoration right now to cover every area of my life.  I expect that restoring anointing to be upon me and my family today!  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

God will fight for you ....

Daily prophetic word 
Your Gate is Open!
"Command your gates of blessing to be open today," says Lord.  "For My deliverance shall be your walls of protection and you shall be received in favor when you enter in."

Prophetic Scripture:
Isaiah 26: 1-2 – In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah;  We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.  Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Many times when we pray prophetically, we speak to gates and command them to open in the spirit.  Today, see those gates a little differently.  See every spiritual gate that you must enter open before you.  However, don’t just see any gate open, see your gates open.  Why will it happen for you?  Because you keep the truth and that will make the way open before you.  Whatever God has mandated you for, command a clear path so that you can enter your territory unhindered.  Paul said in 2 Corinthians 7:2 – “Receive us, we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.”  When you walk in God’s integrity, you can use your faith to prophetically declare that you are well received and your gates of utterance are open everywhere you go.  God will fight for you, so command your gates to open, in Jesus’ Name!

Prayer:

Father, I declare today that my gates of utterance are open!  You have appointed your delivering power to be a wall of protection on my right hand and left.  I boldly enter my gates today and expect to be received and favored everywhere I go!  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Your steps are ordered by the Lord ...

Daily prophetic word 
Divine Appointments!!
“I am about to arrange specially ordained connections,” says the Lord.  “For I want to bring divine appointments for my people in this season and they will come an unexpected way.”

Prophetic Scripture:
Acts 8: 26-29 – And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise and go toward the south, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza which is desert.  And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopinas, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship was returning and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.  Then the Spirit said unto Philip, go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

We can be assured that when God wants to accomplish something, He will make the right arrangements to get it done.  All we have to do is stay close and obey Him.  Philip and this eunuch in the Scripture above experienced what I like to call a “God-planned appointment.”  Neither one of them probably saw it coming, but it was a supernatural event, that resulted in something eternal!  It was something historical that touched even more lives than just the eunuch.  He was a powerful man and history gives indication that his conversion greatly impacted his nation.  A therefore, seemingly small event was an incredible divinely planned meeting.  It was a ministry appointment for Philip, a life changing experience for a man in his chariot and a nation waiting to be affected by the outcome.   Whatever God has purposed for our lives, we can expect that he will make all the needed connections, relationships and appointments necessary.  We just have to obey His Word and allow Him to do the rest!  Expect God’s divine appointments today!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You are leading me today into the right places at the right time.  You will open every door that is necessary so I can fulfill Your will for me.  Bring the right relationships and contacts needed for me to complete every task today and I thank You that much shall be accomplished for Your kingdom!  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

New seasons / new anointings ....

Daily prophetic word 
Call on the Rain from Heaven
“Cry out! Cry out!" says the Lord, "for My fresh rain to rest upon you now!  Call on the rain from Heaven, even the latter rain that produces miracles, creative miracles and wonders.  For My flooding rain has come to wash over the people with great power in this time!”

Prophetic Scripture:
Zechariah 10:1 – Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field.

We are in a prophetic season where God is calling on His people to ask Him for fresh rain from Heaven.  We need the rain of the Holy Ghost to flood over us because the rain of God contains all that He is.  It contains His power, His refreshing, His miracles and power.  What we need from God is in the rain of the Holy Spirit.  Without the constant flow of fresh rain, things get dry and dusty.  Plants become parched and there is no life to be found there.  God is a God of seasons and what His rain produced in days past is not sufficient for the present time.  We need a new season of rain for the new things of the Spirit to spring up.  There we will find fresh life, fresh anointing and new revelation to bring about what the Lord wants in the earth.  Call on fresh rain over your life and ministry today and don’t become satisfied with only the blessings and moves of the Holy Spirit from the past.  Yesterday’s harvest and produce will not feed the future generations.  We need new seasons, new rain and fresh anointing to wash over us today so God’s miraculous power can rest upon us.

Prayer:

Lord, let Your fresh rain wash over me right now.  I ask for the rain of Your Spirit to fall upon my life, my family, my church and ministry.  Give me new anointing, new revelation and keep me from becoming stuck and even just sentimental over the past seasons of blessing.  Flood me with the new seasons of Your Spirit today!  I thank You for it and I commit to follow You into all the fresh places You have for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Revealing the kingdom ...

Daily prophetic word 
Let Your Kingdom Come!

"For My kingdom way is in you," says the Spirit.  For there is only one pattern of life, it is the way of My kingdom.  Let My kingdom lifestyle increase in you, then My anointing can continue to increase upon you!"
Prophetic Scripture:
Luke 11:2 – When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be they name.  Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
So what does it really mean when we pray the words, “Thy kingdom come?”  This is what Jesus taught us to pray.  As Christians, His kingdom is deposited inside of us, but we need to grow and let the expression of His kingdom to be seen outwardly in our lives and surroundings.  We should pray for it.  A kingdom expression is when you know that you serve a real King—Jesus, and there are patterns, lifestyles and methods that are required for living in His kingdom.  When we pray, “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done” we are asking for God’s ways to be the visible, dominating factor in our lives.  We are also acknowledging that we are submitted to His will and our lives are under His Lordship.  Many believers lack power because they haven’t truly submitted themselves to His kingdom!  I believe we must pray and ask for God’s kingdom lifestyle to be manifest through us in everything we do.  When kingdom living is our way of life we create an atmosphere that is ready and able to handle the more powerful anointings of the Holy Spirit.  Ask God to let His Kingdom be manifest through your life in every area today!
 
Prayer:
 
Lord, I submit myself afresh to Your Kingdom.  I turn my life fully over to Your Lordship.  Let my words, attitudes, actions, and habits all reflect submission to Your Kingdom.  I renounce every pattern of life outside of Your Kingdom expression and I align myself with a new way of living.  Reveal to me every area of my life that does not reflect a Kingdom expression and I will change it now!  Thank you Jesus for being the Lord over my life! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Circumstances are about to change ...

Daily prophetic word 
Time for Change!
 
"Yes, seasons of change are upon you.  See that I am doing a new thing and the failures of the past shall be no more," says the Lord.  "For look now and see that by this time tomorrow things are going to change!”

Prophetic Scripture:
Daniel 2:20-21 – …Blessed be the name of God forever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:  And he changeth the times and seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Realize that not everything is always as it appears to our eyes.  When there was a famine on the land in 2 Kings 7, the prophet Elisha said that everything was about to change by that same time the next day!  Now the king’s servant had trouble believing it was possible, but isn’t that how we are sometimes?  We place so much confidence in what is wrong right now that we fail to see that by this time tomorrow something is about to change!  We serve a God that turns the seasons, and sets up governing leaders.  If He is in control of those things, then surely He is ready to change dry seasons and situations over your life!  One day we were praying for our church to grow, because it didn’t seem to be growing as fast as we liked.  Then the very next day we ran into a business owner nearby who didn’t even attend our church.  Right out of the blue they said, “I cannot believe how your church has grown.  I look out on Sundays and there are so many cars, it just gets more and more all the time!”  This happened the very next day after we talked about the seemingly lack of growth in the church!  They had a different perspective than we did!  We had to starting seeing a season of change!  Look at the circumstances in your life that appear to be in famine today and say, “By this time tomorrow, things are going to change!”
 
Prayer:
 
Father, I pray that I will have your perspective regarding my circumstances today.  I ask for new vision to see that things are not as they seem.  I have confidence that You are controlling things and turning my situations around for good.  I decree with my mouth that by this time tomorrow things are about to change!  I believe today that seasons of change are upon my life! In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.

Season of miracles...

Daily prophetic word 
A Sign and a Wonder
"My church is about to manifest signs and wonders like never before on a mass scale.  Yes, it is for you, it is what you have been destined for and made for.  I call you now, a sign and wonder," says the Lord of Hosts.

Prophetic Scripture:
Isaiah 8:18 – Behold I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of Hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

Yes, that applies to you today!  God made every one of us supernatural people who emulate God in every way.  You were not created to be ordinary; you were made to be extraordinary.  Throughout the Bible, God used regular people to do miraculous things.  Hebrews 11:32 says, that people of faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions, quenched fire, escaped death, received supernatural strength, and caused their enemies to run in terror.  Seas were split open, the dead raised, diseases cured, blind eyes opened, and many unusual manifestations occurred through the men and women of God throughout history.  God has not changed.  More than ever before, He wants to use all His people to perform the greatest miracles in history.  God and His people are working together to change a generation and turn many unto righteousness!  This is your time, walk in your supernatural grace and don’t be afraid to step into the season of miracles today!

Prayer:

Lord, I use my faith for miracles today!  I command the flow of the Spirit to manifest in me.  Your anointing is upon me and You have created me for this purpose.  I say signs and wonders, begin to flow from my hands, from my mouth and in my life right now!  In Jesus’ Name, AMEN.
