PASSING THE TORCH









Eagle Nov 2019 
In the bible we read about men and women of God whose mantles or ministries were passed to the next generation. Moses had an extraordinary ministry with miracles, signs and wonders. The Lord spoke to Moses through a burning bush. He used Moses to send plagues on Pharaoh and all of Egypt. He gave Moses authority to part the Red Sea and millions of the Israelites went through on dry land, but Pharaoh and his army drowned as they tried to pursue them.

After Moses died, his ministry was passed on to Joshua. The Lord said to Joshua “no man will be able to stand against you, as I was with Moses, I will be with you". The Lord promised to give Joshua the land that he promised Moses. He told Joshua three times in chapter one “Be strong and very courageous”. The book of Joshua goes on to say how they crossed over the Jordan on dry land as the priests led them carrying the Ark of the Covenant.

Elijahs mantle was passed to Elisha. After Elisha had been serving and following Elijah for some time Elijah asked him; what may I do for you before I am taken away? Elisha responded; I want a double portion of your Spirit (anointing). This word for spirit in the original Hebrew context is ruwach which is breath, wind, spirit. It is referring to the living breath of God, a living mantle. 

Elijah replied, if you see me when I am taken from you it shall be so. Soon after, a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared, separated them and took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind. His mantle fell upon Elisha and he received a double portion of Elijah's anointing. Elisha's ministry did not began until Elijah's ministry ended. The double portion mantle was then passed to him.

History speaks about many men and women of God who walked in a supernatural anointing. There were revivalists such as AA Alan, Smiths Wigglesworth, John G Lake, John Alexander Dowie, William Brenham, William Seymour, Aimee Semple McPherson, Kathryn Kuhlman, Maria Woodworth Etter, Charles Finney, Even Roberts, Jack Coe, and many others who were used in ministries of miracles, signs and wonders.

In their revival meetings people were healed of terminal diseases, the blind received their sight, the crippled walked and even paralyzed people were healed. In Maria Woodworth Etter’s day most churches didn’t allow women to be ministers. In her meetings some people went into trances and visions for hours. The anointing of God was even felt for miles away, and many people were healed in their homes. This was before the internet.

John G Lake had healing rooms in Spokane Washington where thousands of miracles were documented each year. In and of himself, John G Lake could do nothing, but all of these miracles were done through the Holy Spirit in Jesus name because he knew his authority and carried His anointing. 

We are in a season when the Lord is once again raising up men and women to be used in the same way. He is placing His anointing upon us in the courts of Pharaoh. We are called to be His ambassadors, demonstrate His power, and release His glory. He has placed His rod of authority into our hands, and placed His sword of the Spirit in our mouths. The Lord is going to use us to deliver others out of Egypt as we see a mass exodus of people released from the kingdom of darkness, and delivered into the Kingdom of light.

We are the generation who will walk in His power and release His glory on this earth as it is in heaven. We are not mere men and women, but we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation who will bring healing, restoration and deliverance to this nation.
Jesus is calling us to walk in the authority, and receive the anointing and the mantles that He has for us. The Lord is about to do wonders among us. The torch is being passed.


Joshua 3:5 
And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” 

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

1 John 2:6 
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 
 
Praise The Lord

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
