A Major Revival & Outpouring of the Spirit Upon Our Doorstep! Part 2

Recently, the Lord spoke to me about an outpouring He was bringing to the earth very soon. (See part 1) Many in the faith have been crying out for revival in our nation, but God has a plan for all the nations, for He is the God of the universe! As I sat with Him in my time with Him this particular evening, He began to reveal more about this outpouring that He wants His Church to know of. He hears the cries of the nations, and He hears your hearts too. He is aware of what is going on and He will bring it to a glorious head in the perfect timing.

It's Time to get Busy

 Right now, the Lord relayed that the Church should be prepared and brought from a mindset of ‘let’s see’ to ‘let’s get busy’. Many are gloriously ready, but many are not. It is time to step into the warrior Bride of Christ like many of us have never known before. God's intention was always, according to the great commission, for the Church to take dominion of this earth while He was absent in the flesh.

He always wanted us as the Church to step into what Jesus accomplished on the cross and push back evil, conquering it! Ultimately, we were to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We were to do the greater works that Jesus did and greater still! 

We can take a look at this world and see how the Church hasn't quite accomplished this to the degree that it probably should have been done. We know we all are responsible. Each generation has a responsibility to act. Let’s pick up the commission again afresh! Let’s own it personally. We are a nation of priests and kings.

Jesus purchased this glorious inheritance for us. Let’s walk in that inheritance! We need to stand on our own two feet and not rely on others to do the work for us when we are capable. This doesn't mean we can't ask for help if we need it, but the working and responsibility is ours.

No, we aren’t just waiting for Jesus to come back and save us in these last days. We are to be obedient servants who will be called to account with what Jesus gave us to accomplish. He shared His spoils of war with us when he purchased us on the cross, and in the consummation of the ages with Him, we will share our spoils of war with Him to delight His heart! (the hearts of men that we've spoken to, ministered to, seeded, and ultimately won to Christ). With that in mind, I share what He showed me this particular evening. 

"And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory."

Romans 8:17 AMP

The Voice of God & the Major Revival and Outpouring of the Spirit

He began by speaking of alignment with Him. Isn’t this always what He wants of us? And yet he is always beckoning to us. He desires communion, fellowship, and alignment with all of us. This isn’t just so that we can get through our day, but rather, so we can be in union with Him for the greater works we will soon be a part of within the Major Revival & Outpouring of the Spirit that is coming. When we are in union with Him, He can relay His heart and plans for us individually. He can give us strategies to beat the devil and make a difference in the world while growing in intimacy with Him. Union with Him causes us to take on His passion for others and makes it our own!

"And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." 

2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP

Being in union with Him allows us to be able to operate at a different level of glory. (John 15:5) We truly do move in maturity from one degree of glory to another. He is calling us to do this now especially. It is critical to prepare the church for what is fast approaching. We press into Him until we are one heart, mind, and thought with the King of Kings. May we meld into you, dear Father. Our lives for yours.

"So let it be the same way with you! Since you are now joined with him, you must continually view yourselves as dead and unresponsive to sin’s appeal while living daily for God’s pleasure in union with Jesus, the Anointed One."

Romans 6:11 TPT

Grow in the Dormant Anointings & Giftings!

So, at this time, the Lord spoke of giftings that He has implanted into all of us. These giftings are so varied, abundant, diffuse and creative and truly unique and original!  There is nothing like them in this world or under this world. They are also empowering for use in the spiritual realm, ministry, for edifying the church, and the world! He calls us to take notice of these giftings and grow in them if you haven’t already. Grow up in them! Use them, practice them! Find Him within them. They have already made us strong, powerful, and full of anointing. We just need to mature in them.

"Your anointing has made me strong and mighty. You’ve empowered my life for triumph by pouring fresh oil over me."

Psalms 92:10 TPT

  The anointing you carry breaks the power of the enemy which is why he has worked so hard in this season to distract, send deployments against you, derail you and discourage you if you have tried to step out in gifts. He hopes to get you to quit before your gifts are fully realized. It’s a smoke screen! For he is terrified of what you carry. If we could only see what the spiritual realm already sees, we would see how powerful we already are in Christ!  The devil is terrified of what we can be. Don’t believe the smokescreen. Face the facts. Despite what you feel, you have been anointed on high. You are powerful. Settle that in your mind right now! Step into it!!

"Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]."

1 John 4:4 AMP

As We Practice & Mature, We Accelerate

Many have already been stepping out, refining their gifts, and moving to different levels in the Spirit, but they recognize there is more that they haven’t reached yet. The Lord wants to encourage those and says, “You are moving faster and going higher than you think!” Don’t give up! Keep digging, uncovering, and using your gifts, while pressing on doing what you already know to do. You are progressing faster than you think!"

God Has a Plan to Refresh Us & Revive Us

He then said He loves each of us very much. He sees our struggles and where we have fallen, and He has a plan to refresh us and encourage us. He is proud of us and wants to see each of us reach our potential in Him; as well as for us see ourselves in our own potential. That is a powerful place to be in Him. Because of the previous season’s struggles, it’s time for a bath, He says. A bath represents cleansing from sin and washing us in preparation for use from our sins and hurts.

Many have been refined as gold in the previous season and have battle scars. Ups and downs with the enemy have taken their toll upon us. A good bath of repentance, applying the blood of Jesus to ourselves, and consuming the Word of God cleanses us through the power of the Holy Spirit. He splashes us with the washing of the Word of God. This is exactly what our Living Word, Jesus Christ died to do for us and does continually within us. (Col 3:10)

"For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God.

Colossians 3:10 TPT

...so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God],"

Ephesians 5:26 AMP

"Azusa, Azusa!"

Then, as if I turned a corner in my time with the Lord, that morning, I heard voices singing! That was new to me. I heard beautiful voices singing “Azusa! Azusa!” in unison. As I heard that, I then heard Him resound mightily:

“In front of us.”

“Knock her off her feet!”

In previous times with Him, He has spoken this date to me to be Christmas, but as time has gone by, and I have had more experiences with Him regarding the coming glory, I have learned that He means it will be like Christmas Morning to His beloved Children! Oh, dear ones, this is beautiful to my heart. Not to mention, we will light up with Glory! Our precious Father loves us so much!

God Will Surprise Us and Knock Us Off Our Feet

He was telling me within all of this that this major revival and outpouring of the Spirit is right before us, at our very doorstep! He intends to surprise us and knock us off our feet! This is a coming revival like the world has never known. This outpouring will be similar to the Azusa Street revivals and outpourings and also like the book of Acts in the upper room. Somehow, when I imagine those folks in that moment, I cannot imagine them standing! When God’s glory comes no man can stand! His presence is weighty, and we will be overcome at the power of God. The realization of His holiness and awesome fear of God will apprehend our person and send us to our knees if not face first on the floor.

I cannot tell you what He has in store, for us, but I know it will be full of supernatural goodness and spectacles of His great glory and majesty at work within us as His children. These spectacles will be conducted through us as we lay down our flesh to be used by the Holy Spirit’s leading. However, the time is extremely short. This is not in the next few years; this is in the next few days or months. It’s GO time, Church. 

 "...and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit]. 4 And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other [b]tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately]." 

Acts 2:2-4 AMP

Be Mindful of the Weather

God also indicated that we needed to pay attention and be watchful of the weather. He will move in power through it so take measures to be prepared. Some things may be disturbing, but know that it is coming for a purpose, for the hearts of unbelievers. You stand primed and ready to be a light to those individuals that will be looking for comfort and may be looking for help. Step in and be that light in the darkness.

He is lining things up for you to take part in the righteous deeds that He has planned from before you were born to participate in. Don’t be afraid, move with your sandaled feet of the Gospel of Peace and be prepared to give a word in due season to one who is weary and or perform an act of love for one who may be Jesus in disguise. Remember that when you do it to the least of these, you do it unto Him.

Feed upon the Savior and share that divine bread that He is with others from the Word. Practice divine unity amongst other believers knowing that we are to encourage each other and care for each other as well.

We Are to be Houses of Prayer & Worship

As we build each other up, we also war separately and together. We are overcoming evil with good and taking dominion for the Kingdom. We are a house of prayer, and a house of war! When we worship and when we partake of the Word of God we are participating in that spiritual war!

Keep worship upon your lips and heart continually and be thankful and grateful. God has outfitted you will authority in the spiritual realm to overcome evil. That is not debatable. You have been. You have powerful weapons of warfare that God expects us to use in prayer and as we use our spiritual gifts.

We worship, we praise, we pray, we come against condemning thoughts and mindsets, and we remind the enemy who He is. We speak with our mouths and change situations, shift atmospheres and take dominion at every turn, with any injustice we see. We speak justice, peace, and or healing. Whether you feel it or not, got has outfitted you to do so and fully qualified you in the Spirit.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

Proverbs 18:21 ESV

Transition to Increase!

God will also be bringing you into transition as you enter open doors that have been previously closed to you. These are situations that you have been crying out for more understanding or breakthrough. These will be opportunities that only He could bring about. 

You will see new revelation, wisdom, and understanding to move forward in situations that you have not been previously able to before suddenly come to you through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is all according to His perfect spiritual order and plan and to help you fulfill the acts of divine grace that He has prepared for you to do for others in this world in this trying time.  In so doing this, God is preparing His children for increase.

This is increase He has determined would be coming to you for quite a while now. It is from His good storehouse for you to be a light and a blessing for others. To prosper you, increase you, and to bring you His fullness and joy.

He is a good Daddy. A good, good Father, with plans that include His beloved children in them. To show you that He loves you so much more than you can even imagine. His plans for you are always good and always bring you hope for the future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

"For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Jeremiah 29:11 AMP

The Outpouring of Revival Will Leave Us Lit up Like a Christmas Tree

On subsequent times with Him, He took me into a vision which was a picture of the Church in His glory. of a suburban street and as I looked, I saw several dark trees. It seemed to be at night. When all of the sudden I saw a heavily lit up tree that seemed to glow with tiny individual lights. It was brilliant!!

Tree imagery represents people in the Bible. In this time, He kept saying the word ‘figure’. He was intending the church as His Bridal 'figure' would emerge. He gave me a picture of how the church would appear to the world. At the end of this time, (He didn’t say how long it would be) but you and I will witness and be a participant to many powerful and wonderfully supernatural things.

Be ready to be a witness to others of what you see with your own eyes and participate in. Both with unbelievers and with the household of faith. They are powerful to those that want to see a real God who truly lives and knows that He still moves.

This will open hearts around us like crazy, priming them for the entrance of Jesus into their hearts. Be fully prepared to share your faith with others. I believe this will become an easy thing to do in this time. Nonbelievers will want to know because of difficulties they will face. Love them and become the light of Jesus to them.

"For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us! For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed."

Romans 8:18-19 AMP

Conclusion

Look around for others, Church! Be prepared to be the hands and feet of Jesus. The weather will cause upheaval and disaster, but do not lose heart. It will be a time of great blessing for believers and discouragement to those who do not know Christ. Encourage each other and be watchful and prepared.

Pray and ask God for what preparedness might look like for you and your family. God has relayed to me in subsequent times with Him that He intends to provide supernatural abundance through us (even if we don't have the supply) in order to help others. Stay in faith. He will provide for us, just like the widow and the jar of oil in 2 Kings 4.

The Church’s Day will be glorious in the coming days! Be encouraged! All Heaven is looking upon us with great excitement and anticipation for the coming days! The coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is closer than it’s ever been before. We are the sons and daughters that all creation has been waiting with bated breath to see revealed! It is God’s great pleasure to reveal you to the world. Shine Beautiful Church Shine!

In case you missed the first in this series of the upcoming outpouring of the Spirit, you can still find it here. Be encouraged! God loves His Bride and He is seeking to prepare her for the days ahead. Press in to find Him in the secret place. He will meet you there as long as you look for Him with all your heart. If you would like to know Jesus as your Savior, you have made it to the right place. Be encouraged!
