Babylon Is Fallen

Important prophetic word from Johnny Enlow:

NOTE: The seven mountains of influence that for many years have been under the control of the enemy are the seven culture-shaping areas of power over each society – media, government, education, economy, family, religion, and celebration (arts and entertainment).

Like A Lion

Kathi Pelton: “March Will Come in Like a Lamb but Go Out Like a Lion!”

In 2020 the Lord gave me what He called, “The Three Rs for 2020.” Those three “Rs” were the words “Remnant, Ruach (which means Breath of God) and Roar.”

They became the three themes that I saw overlaid in all that was taking place. Though the world had entered a global pandemic and my nation (the United States of America) had entered a new type of civil war, the global remnant was moving in the Ruach and Roar of God! It was a sound that called us together as a global Ecclesia and empowered us, through His breath, to release His mighty roar.

As we moved into the first two months of 2021, it was as if the sound ceased, the breath was held and the remnant was suddenly hidden from sight. But there is something happening in this third month of 2021. Can you feel the shaking beneath your feet? Can you feel the atmosphere beginning to tremble with the fear of the Lord? And can you hear the rattling of the dry bones beginning to move?

Going Out Like a Lion – Release Your Sound

There is a saying that says, “March comes in like a lion but goes out like a lamb.” This is a line from an old English proverb that refers to how March often begins with extremely harsh weather but ends with mild weather. But the Lord spoke the reverse to me; He said, “March will come in like a lamb but will go out like a lion!”

I saw a vision of a tiny newborn lamb trying to rise. This newborn lamb was soft and pure white. It was making the tiny sound that made me think of what new life would sound like. I asked the Lord, “Who is this lamb?” And He replied, “My reborn ones.” I saw that something deep had occurred spiritually that caused a rebirthing in His remnant, where they emerged white as snow, tender (soft) in their hearts and with the faith of a child.

Then the vision changed and I was suddenly taken back into an encounter that I had a few years back. In this encounter I was a small, white lamb standing on a hillside looking down upon the walled city of Jericho. The voice of the Lord came to me and said, “Go down to the city and release your sound.”    In this encounter I remember thinking, “I’m just a lamb and my sound is so very small.” But the voice of the Lord came once again and said, “Go down to the city and release your sound.”

I began walking timidly toward the city and as I walked I noticed a large shadow over top of me that I thought was a moving canopy. In my peripheral view, I could see what appeared to be large poles moving with me as well. My first thought was that the Lord was covering me with His canopy of protection as I (in the form of this small lamb) was moving toward this walled city.

When I was finally close to the city I heard Him say, “Now, release your sound.” I opened my mouth, fully expecting the tiny bleat of a lamb to come forth, but what came forth was the loudest lion’s roar I had ever heard. The sound caused the walls of this fortified city to crumble and the enemy (that held the city captive) scattered in every direction in absolute fear.

Look Up! He Is With You, Always

Then, as this encounter continued, I suddenly found myself on a battlefield before an enormous enemy army. Standing front and center (at a distance) before me was the great giant, Goliath. Again I heard the words, “Go and stand before this giant and release your sound.”

As I began to move forward, the taunts and mockery from the army and from the giant were growing louder and louder. Yet, once again I noticed the shadow over me and the “poles” beside me as I walked forward (still in the form of a small lamb). When I was finally standing directly in front of the giant I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Look up.” I looked up and what I thought was a canopy of protection covering me was actually the under-belly of the largest lion I had ever seen. Then I looked and what I had thought were the poles where actually his four massive legs. I knew that the Lion of Judah had been walking with me (over me) the entire time.

With this new understanding, faith and confidence filled me, for the Lion was much larger than the giant that stood before me. Then He said, “Release your sound.” Once again as I opened my mouth to release my sound, what came forth was the roar of the Lion of Judah. The giant fell to his death and the enemy army ran in fear from that place where they had mocked me. Then I heard Him speak these words: “I am with you – always!”

Then I was back in the vision that began this morning (March 8, 2021), when I saw the newborn, pure-white lamb that had been reborn. As I re-experienced the encounter from a few year back, so did this lamb. Then, suddenly, the lamb rose to its feet and took on the identity of the Lion of Judah.   It took on the appearance, the sound and the power of the Lion of Judah. This vision ended with the words “March will come in like a lamb but go out like a Lion.”

With this, I saw the three “Rs” from 2020 (Remnant, Ruach and Roar), and a fourth “R” was added—RISE! March will prove to be a month where we rise again! Like Jesus coming forth from the grave, the remnant will feel the breath of God, hear the roar of the Lion of Judah, and we will RISE AGAIN!

Ready or Not, Here I Come!

Nathan French, Gig Harbor, WA

Prophetic word of the Lord given on February 27, 2021:

“Giant Slayers:  I am breaking down the systems that hinder My movement. I am releasing, by My Spirit, a tidal wave – not for destruction but for cleansing and empowerment. I will build up My fearless giant slayers in this hour.

Political Scene

“The political scene has been overtaken by fake news and information whores; those who prostitute the truth for lies because they love money and power. The love of money, as a root, is being dug out in this season. I am going after everything that is false and revealing to those who want truth, how to work with Heaven. Companies of people that come against My established truth and attempt to censor Me, the Lord GOD, have picked a fight with Heaven, and I tell you the truth, I am not going down.

Repent

“Hear the sound of many waters. Quickly repent if you have stood against Me, the Lord God Almighty. This dam is about ready to break. I replace every curse with blessing and destroy what the enemy sets up, as I use those chosen based on many factors.

“No one is perfect and I am gracious, but I am not leaving My throne. It’s not over. This battle has just begun and I will always seek to minimize causalities. There are reasons I wait for timing. Because I live outside of time, I see what affect that moving too soon could have. I use delay and I operate with the desired end in mind.

Faith and Love

“I have given free will because I love, and My love works by your faith. My faith works by love. My love in you brings My faith in you. Your faith in Me brings My love to you. Have faith and pray. Prayer prepares the way. Be ready to move as an individual. Every individual that follows My Spirit begins to connect with others who follow My Spirit. Many parts working together multiply the impact. You are not meant to work with everyone, so be sensitive on the who, the what, the when, and the where – not so much on the why.

Follow Me

“Following My Spirit is, in itself, an act of surrender and a point of divine connection bringing expansion. I am bringing together My tapestry, building up persons who will yield to My will to call on helpers to build the nets for the catch that is My harvest. Is it Trump? Is it Biden? What I am doing is much bigger than any one man or single woman.

“Look how I have used so many individual people in the past, and I shall continue to use each one who partners with Heaven’s army. One obedient servant can change the whole world, but remember that it is I who works in you both to will and to do according to My good pleasure.”

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:12-13)

A Massive Harvest

“Is it this group or that? People want to know and understand but many are missing the deeper meaning. I am using all things to work for good.”

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

“Yes, I have a plan to bring in a massive harvest of souls. He who wins souls is wise. Kingdom funding is for souls and the wealth transfer is coming for this purpose. I am not just trying to provide comfort. I am releasing a revolution! [Revolution definition: a sudden, complete, or radical change in something.] Big names will fade, but My name as the King of kings will not, for I am with My Father and He is with Me. The Holy Spirit is with you and all who will believe and receive and respond in faith and obedient willingness to yield to My will.

Third Great Awakening

“You shall be the partakers in this third great awakening! Live like you know Heaven is at hand.”

“And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'” (Matthew 10:7)

“My Kingdom has no end and My hosts are here to do business with those who think partnering with a defeated foe is the way to win. The reigning champion is about to make an appearance. There’s fire in My eyes and power in My wings. Angels are rushing forward to the assigned posts. Welcome to the ring! Choose your side.

“Heaven is open and this earth and all that is in it is My creation, and My creation must look to Me, the Creator, for salvation, because the fate of those who do not shall be sealed. Grab My hand while you still can. I am the Lord and I have a plan!”

Birthing from God’s Perspective

Encouragement for your Mission.

by Kim Potter, Dayton, TN

Recently I read a quote that impacted my heart and soul, and I want to share it with you today. Here is the quote:

“When someone is pregnant, she is not ‘expecting a child’ – she already has one. She is not ‘going to be a mother’ – she already is a mother. The baby is not ‘on the way,’ the baby has already arrived. If we are going to change the way society treats unborn children, we have to change the way we talk about them.” –Frank Pavone.

This quote caused a spiritual awakening in me concerning a principle we often hear taught and preached in the Church today. I don’t know how many sermons I have heard on giving birth over the past twenty-five years, but there have been many. As I pondered this quote, it became a timely revelation to me. The simple fact is that when we are in travail over a thing or a promise, this is the PROOF that it already exists and is a living, breathing thing.

Changing the Way We Think About the Birthing Process

I was reminded of a powerful truth. If we are going to change the way we go through the process of conception, travail and delivery, we must change the way we talk.

“‘Shall I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?’ says the Lord. ‘Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?’ says your God.” (Isaiah 66:9)

“… Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, be assured I will do it.” (Isaiah 46:11)

Whatever has been birthed in you – whether it was spoken to you either through the Word of God or through a prophetic word, or from God speaking it to you Himself, or however He spoke it – if He spoke it, then He will, without fail, bring it to pass.

God does not bring you to the moment of birth and not deliver. He is not a man that He should lie. The very fact that you are fighting for it, travailing for it, is the undeniable truth that it already exists. It is not something you are trying to create or speak into existence, it already is…just like as a baby already exists in a mother’s womb.

Let’s look closer at Isaiah 66:7: “Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.”

In this verse the Hebrew word “travail” (chuwl) means “to twist, whirl about, dance, fear, tremble, be in anguish, be pained, to writhe (in travail with), bear, bring forth, to wait anxiously.” Have you ever felt any of these things as you are standing in faith for the promise God has given you? I know I have.

Also in this verse, to be “brought forth” (yalad) means “day of one’s being born” and “to show lineage.” It is essentially declaring one’s birth. It reminds me of what we hear from the doctor when a child is born: “It’s a girl,” or, “It’s a boy!” That baby wasn’t just created in the delivery room. Before it came forth, it was created nine months ago – in the very beginning it was a complete baby.

Now, let’s look at verse 12 in that same chapter: “For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream…”

We are promised delivery of the very thing God has placed inside us; we are promised it will come to a time of fruition. For God says, “I will extend peace like a river!” Peace, here, is defined as “completeness, soundness, welfare, safety, soundness (in body), health, prosperity, quiet, tranquility, contentment, peace from war” – nothing broken or missing in your life. This is what comes at the destined time of delivery.

Your Reward

I know most of you already know this, but God has a great plan for you. He has not made you promises that He can’t fulfill…if He said it, He shall bring it to pass. There is a reward for the spiritual “baby” that you have been carrying – the reward is the delivery. And, again, the very fact that you are carrying it declares that it is a completed work, something that already exists! It is already done! It is already complete! It is already yours!

Psalm 127:3 says that the “fruit of the womb” is your reward! Your reward is real. It is not something you are hoping for. No! It is already done!

The Voice of the Lord Brings the Delivery

Let me share another Scripture with you that I found to be insightful. Psalm 29:9 (ESV) tells us that the voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth. I believe this is true for us as well. I know that many times in my life God has given me a specific word that has brought me through a season. He has given me a Scripture to stand on until I see the birth of what I am praying for. I am sure He has done the same for many of you.

Years ago, He gave me a Scripture and told me, “This is your life Scripture.” I can’t tell you how many times over the past 25 years I have been reminded of this very Scripture – and it has been bringing forth the birth, as I have stood on this word spoken from the very voice of God. The Scripture is found in Psalm 27:13: “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

Today, I pray that God will speak to you, and that you will hear His voice as He speaks a word to you that will cause delivery to spring forth. May you see the promise of God manifest right before your eyes. May we see, today, HIS goodness, which already exists, come to a time of delivery in each of our lives.

“Pack Your Bags”

by Nate Johnston, Redding, CA

Last week I woke up in the night to hearing the Lord say, “Don’t delay. It’s time to release the movement NOW!”

I felt such an urgency on this instruction, as if we were at the kairos moment; the transition and preparation that has led us to birth these ministries, expressions, streams and movements from Heaven. I instantly thought of the Scripture in Revelation 10:6-7:

“…No more delay! For in the day when the seventh angel is to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He announced to His servants the prophets.”

The urgency of the hour is the revelation of Heaven being revealed. And who has God chosen to reveal His messages? Us! His messages have been designed uniquely and wrapped intricately within us and our own lives, ordained to be released to draw people to Jesus and give Him glory. The instruction of the hour is this: “Don’t forsake what I have placed inside of you, but allow Me to bring it to completion!”

No More Interruptions

As soon as I woke up, I kept hearing two words: “Interruption” and “Assassination” and I felt prompted by Holy Spirit to pray and break off a specific demonic agenda that comes against movements and movement carriers. The assignment of assassination has tried to prevent momentum by interrupting the work of the Holy Spirit, bringing overwhelming doubt and confusion, tiring opposition and spiritual harassment, and most obviously choking the voice of the ones carrying these movements.

But the justice of the Lord is roaring over His people; every single arrow that has been fired is being returned, every single bind is being undone, and where there has been weariness and discouragement, there is a fresh strength and joy for the vision that is coming.

“‘Listen carefully, I have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals and who produces a weapon for its purpose; and I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin. No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from Me,’ says the Lord.” (Isaiah 54:16-17 AMP)

David was birthing a movement when Saul sought to assassinate him and interrupt the destiny God had for the nation, but nothing could stop it, and I prophesy that NOTHING will stop the movement you are birthing either! I command these assignments of interruption and assassination to cease right now over those reading this, in Jesus’ name!

Whose Approval Are You After?

There are many tactics the enemy uses to delay what God wants to birth through us, but as I was in conversation with the Lord, I kept sensing the pursuing love and approval of the Father combating the fear and disapproval many are feeling in this stage of their spiritual pregnancy. His love, right now, is breaking the religious shackles of those who have not launched out due to fear of failure, fear of what people will think, and fear of not having people’s approval and green light.

So many of you are carrying powerful movements but are waiting for someone to call your number, approve you, and give you a platform before you jump out, roll out the red carpet and open the door. I did this for years, and all it did was create frustration and resentment in me that no one was seeing what I carried. All the while God was simply asking me to trust HIS approval and begin to step out daily.

God is fanning flames in this season that will be wildfires for the nations. Some of the most powerful movements of this season won’t be birthed from the stage and lathered in the approval of the masses, but birthed in obscurity, bathed in the fire of the secret place. If God has called you and anointed you and you feel that release, then GO!

The Cutting Room Floor

Movements go through a very messy journey before they become tangible, and often in this process, carriers are tempted to abort the mission before it even sees the light of day!

I recently had a vision of the hand of God grabbing rolls and rolls of memories and seasons of people’s lives and attaching them together to be used for something significant. I knew what I was seeing was a photography cutting room, and it represented the “process” we all go through, but I kept hearing the phrase “the rejection floor,” as if these were the moments where people faced severe rejection and opposition to their callings, giftings, and the movements they carried. God was collecting these fragments and bringing healing to hearts by resurrecting what looked dead when people had judged and weighed them.

Many movements have been tested in fire over and over, and even rejected by man, so that you wouldn’t be able to point back to yourself or others when God’s light shone upon it and blessed it. Your seasons of rejection are going to be the fuel for what you are about to release, but you won’t look back in bitterness anymore—you won’t look back and feel the stabbing pain, for you will realize that they have only ADDED to the potency of what you are birthing!

As the Lord took these rolls, suddenly they began to play up on a movie screen, but instead of looking messy and chaotic, there was a celebration, as if the glory hidden by God, even in those hard memories, was revealed!

There are those who have felt like they’ve been in this darkroom for a very long time, waiting without any change. I saw these people like cellars of aged fine wine that the Lord was taking out of their season of maturation. They are those who have felt “in waiting” to the point where they have released it to the Lord; but this has been a season where God has been stirring up their wombs, causing them to dream again, heal from the disappointment and pick up the baton again.

You have been asking God, “Why has it taken so long?” but in this season you will see why God has caused the wine to mature and ripen longer—because of the impact that the movement within you is going to have. Not a drop will be wasted. This will be a season of dreams fulfilled and seeing things you had on paper materialize.

Who Is in the Delivery Room?

Right after Jesus cast the “mob” out of the man, he went and healed a few others, but one in particular was the young girl who was the daughter of a religious leader.

“When they arrived at the home of the synagogue ruler, they encountered a noisy uproar among the people, for they were all weeping and wailing. Upon entering the home, Jesus said to them, ‘Why all this grief and weeping? Don’t you know the girl is not dead but merely asleep?’ Then everyone began to ridicule and make fun of Him. But He threw them all outside.” (Mark 5:38-40)

The Holy Spirit was really highlighting this story to me because I believe it’s key for us in this season. When you are on the brink of your greatest breakthrough and miracle, when you are about to SEE your promise birthed, you have to also cast out any voices of doubt, confusion or anything that is opposing what God is trying to do through you. It’s like the phrase that says, “When you are birthing, you can’t have everyone in the delivery room with you.” This speaks to me again of this urgent hour to ensure that NOTHING PREVENTS THE BIRTH!

Who is in the delivery room with you right now? Who are you letting into your heart space? Are you casting your pearls before people who don’t believe in where you are going?

Pack Your Bags

As a call to action, I feel like the Lord is saying, “GET READY.” Weeks before our daughters were born, we prepared an overnight bag for the hospital, and I feel that the Lord is saying, “PACK YOUR BAGS! GET READY!” because even if you don’t see it or feel it, God is going to UNVEIL what has been inside you all this time.

How can you pack your bags? Here are some practical keys:

• Live intentionally “OFFENSIVE” against the fear and anxiety that tries to cause you to retreat or steal your joy.

• Surround yourself with TRUTH and worship your way into continual peace.

• Speak and prophesy God’s promises so that you aren’t being seduced by the lies.

• Take authority over any witchcraft and spiritual assignment trying to numb you, muzzle you, blind you, veil you, and intimidate you.

• Take communion often! There is POWER in the Blood!

• Remind yourself of the victories and milestones.

• Celebrate the impending birth and be expectant.

• Cast off the tiredness and weariness—ask for new strength!

• Put the vision before your eyes; fix your eyes forward, not behind you!

Desperation Produces Change

It is significant that Jesus compared His elect to a widow harassed by an enemy. (Luke 18:1-8)

The image is actually liberating, for we tend to conceptualize the heroes of the faith as David or Joshua types – individuals whose successes obscure their humble beginnings. But each of God’s servants has, like the widow, a former life that is brimming with excuses and occasions to waver.

Look at the widow: She has legitimate reasons to quit, but instead she prevails. Indeed, she refuses to exempt herself from her high potential simply because of her low estate. She makes no apologies for her lack of finances, knowledge or charm. Giving herself no reason to fail, she unashamedly plants her case before the judge where she pleads for and receives what is hers: legal protection from her opponent.

How did a common widow gain such strength of character? We can imagine that there must have been a time when, under the relentless pressure of her adversary, she became desperate, and desperation worked to her advantage. Desperation is God’s hammer: it demolishes the stronghold of fear and shatters the chains of our excuses. When our desperation exceeds our fears, progress begins.

Today the force prodding many Christians toward greater unity and prayer has not been the sweetness of fellowship; more often it has been the assault of the enemy. We are in desperate times. When it comes to touching God’s heart, other than for a few essential truths, unity of desperation is more crucial than unity of doctrine.

God’s Elect

Our nation is suffering from a deep social and moral collapse. If we have ever needed God’s anointing, it is now — but where are God’s elect? Where are the people whom Daniel says “know their God” and “will display strength and take action” (Dan. 11:32)?  Is there no one divinely empowered who can fell the Goliaths of our age? Perhaps we are looking in the wrong places. Perhaps we need only to look in our bathroom mirror. If you believe in Jesus and are desperate for God, you qualify as one of God’s elect. Remember, in the above parable the widow typifies Christ’s chosen.

We have erroneously held that God’s chosen will never be assaulted by the adversary, much less driven to desperation and “day and night” prayer. But this desperation is often the very crucible in which the elect of God are forged. Jesus portrays this characteristic metaphorically in the picture of the widow; He reveals the means through which His elect prevail in battle at the end of the age.

When all is said and done, it is also possible that this widow may not have been a singular person but a corporate people – a “widow church” – united in Christ in a singular, desperate prayer for protection against her adversary.

We need the “legal protection” that a national revival provides. But it will not come without unceasing prayer. You ask, “Where was the prayer behind the charismatic movement?” The Lord spoke to my heart that the charismatic movement was His answer to the cries of a million praying mothers – women who refused to surrender their children to drugs and the devil.

It is our turn to pray. We are the widow who cannot give herself a reason for failure; God will answer our day-and-night cry. Let us position ourselves at His throne on behalf of our cities and nations. Certainly, as we persevere in faith, the Lord will grant us legal protection from our enemy.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, forgive us for our lack of prayer and for giving ourselves excuses to fail. Lord, we thank You for making us desperate. Help us now to prevail, to attain the “legal protection” You have provided us against our adversary. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Supreme Court Word

Brand new interview and word from Prophet Amanda Grace, given this morning.

We have just received news of the US Supreme Court’s latest disappointing ruling on election cases.  Although the news was certainly upsetting from a world viewpoint.  It occurred to me that this is probably another event that the Lord has allowed to happen, to clarify even further the total lack of integrity in the US institutions that the USA people (and the rest of the world) relies on.

Do not miss this explanation of the prophetic words.  Amanda Grace goes back to words she had back in March 2020, and she carries on through to a message she got this very morning.

Do not miss this!
“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:22)
