Prophecy from David Wagner

David Wagner 8/31/2014 2nd Service

I heard the Lord say as Heaven declares – Grace Center prepares – I believe there is an assignment on our lives to prepare the way of the Lord. Our job is to prepare the way, and then get out of the way so Jesus can be the way.  We prepare the way, and we stay in the way, and we get in the way, and people can’t find the way or see the way. We end up drawing attention to ourselves and what we’re doing instead of what He’s doing.

I believe there is an assignment on Grace Center to prepare the way so Heaven can declare.  You are a landing strip and a launching pad.  You’re a place where people can land and belong.  If you have a longing for belonging this is a good place to fit.  I want you to know that there is room for you here.  

I am not a featured speaker or dancer at the upcoming Heaven Declares conference, but I believe something of monumental proportions is going to happen. I feel like He’s moving us into something we’ve never seen before.  Not just a church body, but individually corporately, and regionally into something we’ve never seen before.

I honestly believe that if revival was to come we probably wouldn’t recognize it, just like they didn’t recognize Jesus despite all the prophecies. We have this idea of what revival is, but let me tell you what it is not.  Revival is NOT just an event  (2x)– We prepare for the move of God – He moves on conferences and meetings when there’s something to work with, but there is also a sovereign move of God.  I believe what we are about to step into something above and beyond what we could orchestrate – simply a God sovereign thing. I believe the Lord spoke to me that the conference in October is going to spark something.  It’s going to spark the fire in Franklin.  I heard throughout worship today, sounds of bells and sirens. I heard the Lord say there’s a three alarm fire coming to Franklin.  I said wildfire?  He said holy Fire – In a day and an age where most of us have been caught up or seen strange fire, God is coming to release a Holy fire.  I also believe, there’s a movement within a movement.  I think what God is doing that is making you uniquely you is simply this.  If you look through the body of Christ we have all of these streams.  People ask me all the time, what stream are you in?  I am looking for the river the stream pours into.  We kind of isolate and segregate – classify things – teaching, worship, prophetic, prayer and intercession, missions, etc … God is causing them all to flow together as one with greater force.  I feel like there is an anointing coming on this ministry to unite – There are many sheep throughout this region that have been shattered and scattered.  I feel like God is causing this to be a healing place for them.  It won’t be the light and the sound that draw them, but the presence of God.   My pastor in FL says, I can live without a lot of things, but I can’t live without the presence of God.  I feel like God is cultivating a culture of hunger in this place. I have a prophetic question for you. You’ve experienced great moves of God, but are you hungry?  If you’re not hungry you will replace it with counterfeits or replace hunger with something else.  If I don’t stay hungry, I will get my eyes here and there.  I believe God is about to take you into a season – from fasting to feasting – some of you positioned yourself in the fasting time, which really got you a seat at the table for the feast.  You were willing to let it cost you something.  Pressure will come, but his presence is always worth the pressure.  There’s pressure coming in this world like we have never seen or known before.  There are rumblings of things happening.   I really believe that God is raising up in this season, a monumental move of the Spirit of God.  Here’s what I saw this morning at 4 am.  I saw a wall of glass - some were running to get in and others to get out.  The Lord said what do you see?  And I said I see a harvest. He said I’m raising up the multitudes of the harvest, but at the same time I’m raising up the multitudes to gather the harvest. How many know the harvest is already plentiful but the laborers are few.  God has anointed you to be harvest reapers.  He’s anointed you to reap this massive harvest in the earth like never before.  I feel like the Lord is saying the season of delay is over!

I feel like the Lord is saying we get excited about the New Year and then we kind of cruise till summer.  Then we take our breaks and there’s a glimmer of hope and activity in the early fall, and then we go baby Jesus.  Instead of knowing that this is the season to accelerate, we begin to coast.  Some of us have already thrown in the towel for this year, and are already looking to coast into 2015 for a do-over.  LISTEN - Your greatest days of 2014 are ahead of you.  I’m telling you that there is something supernaturally special coming in the months of September and October – there is something over the next 8 weeks or so, where God will release his fire – a wind of purpose is coming.  I saw people on their tippy toes trying to see and also hear.   The picture I got was after Elijah’s monumental victory; he was depressed and ran for the caves.  God said where are you?  What are you doing in there? That’s not where I called you.  When God calls you to something He always says, Come out here, and come up here.  God is causing you to step out to go up.  Out and UP – it’s a simultaneous move - it’s important.  Elijah said, I listened and looked for God in multiple places, but found him in the still small voice.  I’m telling you right now this is a season as never before that we need to trust that still small voice like never before.

This year has been filled with both great triumphs and tragedies – Great ups and a few downs - Physically, relationally, financially …

Here’s what I found, in those moments of desperation, pain, weariness, tiredness, and sorrow, the anointing went up when I ministered out of weakness and pain. But I was struggling to hear God for myself in the quiet. I asked Him, How come I can hear You for everybody else but I can’t hear You for what I’m going through?  He said, the teacher never talks when he’s giving you a test, because He’s already given you everything you need to pass the test – God has not set us up for failure, but to succeed.  He has set you up and has given you everything you need to see it accomplished and established in the earth.  This is not a season for shrinking back but for fully launching forward.  I believe there is not just winter, spring, summer, and fall, but there is a fifth season in God called Due season.

And we exult in hope of the glory of God.3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Here’s what I noticed when my wife went to give birth. – I didn’t feel anything at all. At the hardest point, when they said, it’s time to push, I never heard my wife say, not now - Can we reschedule the due date? - There was an appointed time in God for each one of those babies to be born.  When the pressure was the greatest it wasn’t a time to stop or postpone; it was a time to push.  God is moving us into a season of pushing – It’s time to push back.  I’m tired of hearing what the enemy is doing. LISTEN – just call me Captain Obvious.  The church is under attack and has been for 2000 years.  Here’s what I heard in my spirit today, “COUNTER ATTACK”.  It’s not a time to be on the defensive just trying to hold ground.  The kingdom of the devil is stationary, but the Kingdom of God is always moving and expanding. I believe this is a season to begin to push back.  Why?  Because I believe this is the season of the set up.  If you birth something prematurely there can be problems – death or deformity, but equally and even more dangerous is to go way past your due date – It can become toxic to the mother and both could die.  I’m here to tell you right now some of you are overdue! (2x) God right now is about to release an inducing and bring things into fruition like never before.  Here’s what I heard the Lord say to declare over Grace Center - You are stepping into the season of the suddenly! (2X) Malachi 3:1 - "I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty.

This is the season – that as you go after him, you are about to hear the sound of the suddenly – He’s about to birth some things.  In the process, we’ve all been through some things.  Every time I receive a promise, as exciting as I get about that, I know it’s going to cost me something – There’s going to be stretching, fighting.  Paul told Timothy go to warfare over the word God has given you.  Anything God gives you is worth fighting for.  When does the enemy come to steal the word – immediately – Hebrews 10:32 - Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.

When you get a word from God the spotlight of Heaven comes on you and the enemy tries to put a big ole bullseye on you.  The enemy knows he can’t stop it, so he tries to get you to delay it, move out of position, to quit in the process, so it doesn’t happen.  Every promise of God will have its birthday,. It will have its day, even if it feels dead on the inside of you.  I’ve discovered that every dream has its debt before it has its day.  My path has been a little bit difficult.  I used to love prophetic words until I got a couple, and then I said I’m just overwhelmed.

I heard these words today, some of you, God is calling you out of what you’ve known so you can step into what you’ve never known – There is an Abrahamic faith being released in the room today.  Abraham had everything going for him – everything was great in Ur.  There was just one problem.  It was Ur.  Sometimes we get content in Ur, then God says, leave everything you’ve ever known and go to where you’ve never been - go “there” – If you want to know where Grace Center is going – We’re going – “there” - We don’t know what it looks like except that its builder and maker is God – Every day it’s a discovery.  We don’t get to determine our destiny, just discover it. I heard the Lord say, He is about to restore the joy of the journey.

I’ll never forget – I had this vision 4 years ago when I was in a plane crash and dying of malaria.  I saw a picture of Jesus on the cross – He was tore up and unrecognizable, and He had this huge smile on his face when He said it is finished and hung his head and died. – I said that’s not the picture I’ve ever seen in my head, why would He be smiling on the cross?  He said, it was because of the joy set before him, He endured the cross – God wants to restore the joy of the journey – There’s joy coming like never before.  I believe the days of comfort creature Christianity are coming to an end. 

Last year about this time God told me to take a different, very inconvenient flight home from a conference, and I said I don’t want to.  I don’t feel like it.  You could hear the laughter of Heaven.  He said, I don’t care how you feel because your feelings don’t care about your future.  Your feelings just want to be met right now.  If I feel sad, I just want to be happy.  If I feel mad, I just want to feel peace.  If I feel hungry, I just want to eat.  I will do whatever it takes to get this stuff that’s supposed to be dying every day to feel better.  So I said Yes sir.  

God is willing to inconvenience you – He is willing to let you feel uncomfortable – whatever it takes to get you where He wants you. For some of us it may be the many, for some of us the one person. God wants to take the church outside.  I wonder what would happen if we were completely abandoned to obedience – I heard the Lord say it’s not a matter of big church little church – not a matter of this church or that one – it’s now a matter of life and death – Then He said I need you to listen the first time – the thing that will cause the most frustration, and keep people out of the promises of God in this season, is being a second opinion Christian.  How many of you get a word from God that’s confirmed by 2 or 3 witnesses, and you want another opinion – The first confirmations got to be right here – thumps heart – Who cares about my comfort when every moment there is someone who needs Jesus and I was designed to be the voice – There’s an awakening coming like never before – I love 2 Corinthians – All the promises of God are yes and in him, amen – God the Father made the promise, Jesus went to the cross and said yes by his blood, and by it we say amen – so be it or so it be – It’s the perfect alignment – it’s the perfect getting into agreement with Heaven.  LISTEN – I’ve tried doing things my way, even ministry, and it doesn’t work, and it becomes very frustrating.  Then I’ve done it his way and it’s very rewarding.  It seems like it’s going to be costly, but when you do it his way, it’s more profitable than ever before. God wants to take you from busy to productive.

Listen, sometimes we go through seasons of testing just to train us.  He didn’t bring us all this way to fall down or turn around.  He’s setting us up to launch us forward.  It’s time to believe like never before – Zach 9:12 - Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.

I’m not a prisoner of life’s circumstances, situations, surroundings, pain, or my past, but I am a prisoner of hope.  You can come to the end of your rope, but you’ll never come to the end of his hope – I heard the Lord say, hold onto hope because hope is holding onto you!  I feel hope rising in the room today.  There’s a healing of hope that is rising - bubbling forth like never before. I felt like the Lord said “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” – I saw Grace Center filled with trees of life – Fresh faith is coming. 

Saw a church sign on my way to the airport yesterday – “Faith doesn’t make things easy, but it makes all things possible”.  God is releasing that faith that will make all things possible. He’s bringing many of you out of the desert – the place of waiting.  There was an appointed time for Joseph’s dream to come through.  Joseph’s dream coming through was a process.  Joseph had an anointing that ticked of his family.  You can tick people off by having a dream when they don’t.  We expect people to celebrate our dreams, the great things we’re called to do. Then the process begins; we go into the prepared (before the foundation of the world) pit of placement and preparation, to contain us and to get us ready for what’s coming, and sometimes the dream begins to die.  Potipher’s wife didn’t want his clothes; she wanted his mantle. Joseph could have had a poor me mentality, but he always lived above his circumstances – above where everyone told him he could.  He didn’t complain, but believed that what is meant for evil, God will work for my good.  The dreamer got out of prison and even more importantly, the prison got out of him.

Here’s what I heard the Lord say this morning – Here come the dreamers – People will spitefully use you, but keep your eyes on the promises of God because God is about to turn some things around - Psalm 107:2 – Let the redeemed of the lord say SO.

How can you be a preacher because you’re divorced? - SO - Your parents gave you up for adoption - SO – There comes a moment where I say, my past can’t stop my future!  Where you say SO to everything, the enemy throws against you.

I feel like the Lord said as I wrap up – none of which I intended to preach - God is positioning you for the season of the complete and total turn around. He’s about to turn some things around on your behalf. He’s about to move you into a place of completely receiving the promises and the fullness of God.  This is a season to accelerate toward the promises of God – There’s a stirring that He’s releasing – LISTEN - Don’t let anyone talk you out of your promises – what God said in your life - your miracle – It’s a season for the ridiculous – God’s about to release ridiculous favor and miracles in your midst.  What you walked through simply positioned you.

Here’s what I’ve discovered – The things I thought were designed to kill me, God used to activate an anointing in me I never knew I had – The pit, the prison, the palace, what I thought were my enemies, God turned into my ushers – to the point where a few years ago, God actually had me write thank you letters  to those who had hurt me (not all of which I sent – Thank you for molesting me, telling me I would fail, stealing from me) They were my ushers to get my eyes off of everything else and on Jesus.  The Lord is saying over you - This is the season to dream again.  There is new vision coming on old dreams.  I hear the sound of the suddenly coming! (2x) – The moment you’ve been waiting for isn’t coming, but is upon you – that you can step into like never before – This is a season of stepping into the dreams and the destiny of God – He’s molding you and preparing you for such a time as this.  I believe it is a time to see the fullness of the dreams come to pass for his glory and our benefit – things that, if you will endure, there is greater victory.

There are some of you who feel like your dream has had its death, but now God says, it’s having its day.  There’s an anointing dropping into the room right now.(2x)  As you step out of August, you’re moving into the season of the suddenlys.

I thank You for the open Heaven over Grace Center – I thank You for the things that are being developed.  I saw this picture of an old camera where the film development happens in a darkroom.  Some of you got a snapshot of your promise, but you’ve been stuck in the negative.  Some of you got moved to the darkroom – not to destroy you or keep you hidden, but to develop you.  God is about to develop the dream on the inside of you and people are about to see the vibrancy of the picture – the snapshot of the glory of God.

I feel the winds of purpose for many of you who are between assignments – I feel resurrection life in the room.  I don’t know if I articulated everything I was supposed to, but I feel like I did everything God wanted me to do.  I believe between the first and the second services, the Lord has put a puzzle together that will lay out what is to happen over the next season.

I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this is the season to look up and to look out.  Help is coming from the Heavenlies. The harvest stands ready on the horizon. It’s time to go and gather all that I have promised.  It is time to step into even what others have sown, but did not see in their lifetime.

This is the season to bless the Lord oh my soul and do no forget my benefits – I saw the benefits of God coming into this room.  I heard the Lord say that I am getting ready to release a new wind - a new wave of my glory and my grace and my goodness.  I’m going to lavish my love upon you in extreme and extravagant ways.  I’m redeeming the time.  I’m restoring the years.  I am bringing you into a place of the recompense of reward, where you will find what has been lost and recover what has been stolen.  You will see my hand rebuild what has been destroyed in the heat of battle. For it is your time to shine – to come alive - time to take off yesterday – time to live without reservation and without regret.

I am moving you into a season where you will hear me in the whisper.  You have passed the test of the last season, and now I am promoting you and graduating you to a new season.

Everything that could be shaken, was shaken, and everything that could be stirred was stirred.  But now I’m going to begin to cause this to be a season where you will begin to reap the benefits of the shaken, for the unshakable Kingdom in you will remain. Know this – I am getting ready to release to you not only the harvest, but the heart.  I am releasing the heart of the region to you.  I am opening up the hearts of nations to you.  I have made you a landing strip and a launching pad unto myself.  For you have given Me a place to land and to live. This will also be a season and a place where I will cause people to be launched into destiny and purpose like never before.

Do not be distracted when I am breaking you through - bringing you out. For the Lord says, I am ushering you in.  Those who have seemed to be your enemies, in some cases, will become your best friends. Those who have been resistant will see their walls of resistance coming down.  For I am going to release harvest in families of Grace Center.  You will see sons and daughters come from afar.  I am causing this place to beat with the Fathers heart.  I heard a door open and shut, and I heard the Lord say, the Father has come home. When the father comes in the house everything is ready and in order - everything is provided for, and everything is protected.

This is going to be a season and a time where God is taking you beyond visitation, into habitation culture.  There is something you must know and understand – you are the dwelling place of God.

Get ready to dream again.  Get ready to run again – I heard the Lord say - full steam ahead!  That this is a season where I am releasing you out of the gate of August and I am moving you into supernatural September, open Heaven October. I’m releasing you in this season says the Lord, where you’re about to see my hand move like never before.  Even in the month of November, says the Lord, I will cause there to be an aligning, even in the governments of TN and America. For the government of God is getting ready.  And I saw two twin towers rising up, and I heard the Lord say Tennessee and Texas – and I felt like there’s going to be a pivot point even within those two places, of righteousness, and family, and faith, that’s going to begin to shift things like never before.  And I felt like the Lord said that He is restoring the order of things in the house of God.  As it goes with the house of God, so will it go with Franklin, so will it go with Brentwood, so will it go with Nashville, so will it go with America, so will it go with the nations.

There is divine alignment for the assignment that is ahead.  Do not despise the days of small beginnings.  Do not despise the days in which you were hidden. For know this - This is the season of unveiling, and I’m breaking you through it and I’m breaking you beyond like never before....

This is a house of hilarious hope – God has created a safe place so you can live dangerously. 

Lord right now will you take every word spoken and seal it to our hearts this morning.  I’m a little over time, but Lord, You are always on time.  I heard these words – Preparation belongs to us, but timing belongs to the Lord.  You must prepare to accommodate for what you have never heard, seen, or known.  I heard these words in the Spirit - What are we going to do with them all?  Where are we going to put them all?  Lord, right now, fill this place to overflowing – first with your presence, then with your people.  Saturate this place with your power and with your might.  I thank You that they are a persistent bunch in this place - to bombard heaven - to open the floodgates Jesus.

In Jesus' name

Prophecy from David Wagner

David Wagner 8/31/2014 First Service

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying that as I bring you into this next season and the final quarter of this year, know that I am not winding things down, but I’m winding things up.  There is an acceleration toward the finish line that I’m bringing you into says the Lord. For the season of expansion, acceleration, and increase is coming upon you.

While everything seems to be shaking and being shaken on the national and international scenes, know this, I am still on the throne and I am in charge.  Know this says the Lord, my strong right hand is about to be extended and seen upon you like never before.  For this is a season of great harvest – it is a season of great impact – it is a season of awakening.

I heard the Lord say Get ready.  Where there’s smoke there’s fire.  I saw a pillar of smoke and a pillar of fire over Grace Center.  I believe what is getting ready to happen and shift over the next couple months is that God is bringing you from transition to position. I feel like there is a place where God is beginning to not only prop you up, but lunge you forward into destiny like never before.  There is a sustained move of the Spirit that is coming to this house – and through this house - that will not be contained within the walls of this house.  It will begin to spill into the streets, into the community and into the schools and the universities of not only the city but also the region.

I heard the Lord say this is the season of historical and monumental proportions.  I believe what the Lord is about to do has never been seen before.  What I feel is that where God has moved many of you in this place today is the edge.  He has moved many of you to the edge.  He has put you on the cusp of destiny and purpose. I feel like there is a wind of purpose that is coming right now into this room.

I heard the Lord say He is releasing the wind of purpose for those who are in between assignments.  I feel like some of you are in that place. You’ve been in the place of waiting.  The Lord would say to you today, do not be weary in well doing.  Do not be weary in the waiting.  For in due season you will reap if you faint not.  What I really believe is this – God is getting ready to induce the labor.  I feel like many of you are overdue, but God is now bringing you into a new season.

I heard these words during worship this morning – He is releasing new vision for old dreams.(2x)  I feel like there is something that is getting ready to bubble up and rise up on the inside like never before.  I believe this is a time where the Lord is about to release not only a great harvest to us, but I also believe He is releasing the anointing of the harvest reaper upon you.  I had this dream about 4 am this morning.  In my dream, I saw a glass wall and there were people trying to get in and people trying to get out.  I said, Lord, what is that a picture of.  The Lord said, I am not only releasing the harvest, but I am releasing the harvesters. I believe there is an anointing right now coming on many of you in this place to be a harvester – to see a harvest of souls like you’ve never seen before. To see a harvest of the resources of God like you’ve never seen before.

So Lord, I thank You right now for pouring out on Grace Center today and in this next season. Thank You for the new era that has begun.  Thank You right now for the open heavens and the open doors.  Thank You right now for new wells of provision and new wells of resources that You are opening up in this season.

In Jesus name - Amen

How many people believe the word of the Lord?  If I were you I’d get excited because He’s not just saying something into the atmosphere, but He’s saying something directly to you.  It’s not going to just take one of us.  I love pulpit ministry.  It’s what I do, but I believe this next wave of the Spirit of God – this next thing that God is doing in the earth - is going to be through the hands of the people of God - That you would just think you are ordinary, but God sees you as extraordinary.  God is not looking for the well able.  He’s looking for the available.  He uses the unlikely.  He uses the uncommon.  David, Samuel, Moses - Everybody throughout Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, they were unlikely candidates who somehow God got ahold of and said, they may be unlikely, they may not even be well trained, but they are available.  I believe this - That God is getting ready to do a work in and through the Kingdom of God and through this region like never before because, it’s going to take a multitude to reach the multitudes.  I believe the Lord wants to expand your vision to start seeing the multitudes.

I was excited when I woke up this morning; I was like David – I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord - because I believe God in this season is pulling off the veil – It’s kind of like covering a great sculpture or great painting until the day of the unveiling.  I believe God has kept you for many years as a hidden secret.  You have been a hidden treasure that God is getting ready to unveil.  I believe people are getting ready to converge in this place like never before.

As I was fishing with my son, and watching the waves not too long ago, the Lord spoke these words to me. Some people ride waves and other people start waves.  Do you want to be a wave rider or a wave starter? I believe this, that sometimes Grace Center has had the privilege and the great honor of riding some waves.  There’s been waves of Toronto, Pensacola, Lakeland, and even things God has done in this region and in this house.  I believe that the greatest waves that are about to be started, are to be started out of this place like never before.

I saw the Lord penning a heart around you today. There’s a tsunami wave coming from the heart of God that’s going to sweep through the region and nation like never before.

If I were going to create the next Christian bumper sticker it would be “shift happens”, because God is shifting us into position.  He’s bringing us into an alignment.

I believe what is happening right now in this season … When they started talking about Heaven Declares, something started stirring on the inside of me.  Why?  Because I believe it’s more than a conference.  It’s a release.  I believe the countdown has begun, and God is moving you into something like never before....

Timing and positioning are everything in this next season of Grace Center and of your life....

For some of you, God is coming prophetically, and grabbing you by the ear right now.  Some of you need to revisit your words and go back to that moment where that Scripture began to light up on the inside of you. He wants to activate something in you. Therefore do not cast away your confidence which has great reward.  He is always a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.  Can I tell you something right now?  There is divine destiny in the room.  Do you know what I’ve discovered?  It’s not my job to determine my destiny, but it’s my privilege to discover it.   And some of us are trying to determine what we’re going to do instead of going on this journey of discovering what God has called us to do.  Isn’t that amazing!  He’s already determined, and in it He is longsuffering.  It doesn’t mean He suffers long, but here’s what it means. He’ll do whatever it takes.  He’ll tarry as long as it takes for you to step into it and cross over.  He’s not the God of wishful thinking

He’s not dangling a prophetic carrot over us saying maybe one day you can become this Grace Center.  Maybe one day you can do this.  But He’s saying listen!  This can be accomplished in your life time.  I have this prophetic question for you right now – What can happen in your life time?  What do you want to see happen in your lifetime? What do you want to see God do at Grace Center?  What do you want to see God do in Franklin and Middle TN and America and the nations of the earth?

We are on a road of discovery.  I want you to know that this is going to be a season where God is about to bring us into the greatest season the earth and the church has ever seen.  I believe right now there is something that is about to be unveiled.  He’s about to move us into that place of being completely positioned.  Some of you right now, the word that is ringing and resonating on the inside of you is that there is new vision for old dreams.  You did not miss your day of visitation! (2x)

The eyes of the Lord are fixed upon you right now. Let me finish this - Verse 37 –

“For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now thejust shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”  39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

I woke up this morning and the Lord said I am putting you amongst a people who are not of those who shrink back.  The Lord is not slack concerning his promises.  You are not a people who are shrinking back.  I know 1000s of people that are trying to talk themselves out of the promises of God.  I am helping a young man who got a prophetic word when he was 19 that he would pastor. He yelled, I know it’s true - I’ve heard it all my life, but it’s not what I want! – He wanted to go do the Wall Street thing and he did. Ten years later, after picking up the pieces, he is pastoring.  Often we hear a word and think it’s not what I want.  Can I tell you something?  I didn’t choose this for me; it chose me.  God chose me for this; God chose you for something amazing.  It has everything to do with identity and destiny.  Here’s what I heard the Lord say, these next few months, September, October, November and December are destiny defining moments for Grace Center and for you.  He’s about to fill this place with destiny defining moments.  Things that won’t just define your destiny, but that could define the destiny of a city – a local church with global impact.

I saw a harvest coming to this church right here in America.  How many know it’s a scriptural principle that you reap what you sow.  I don’t know of any other local church in America right now that sows more than here.  It may not be in the dollar amounts, but it’s what you sow out of your hearts, what you give when you hear a need.  You say I’m going to meet that. There are angels of generosity that are stirred up so that you can not only meet the needs of others, but God will meet the needs of you.  I want you to know that everything that God calls you to is paid in full.(2x) It comes fully furnished. 

This is what I heard the Lord say He’s not just going to give you dreams, but He’s going to give you dreams about him.  He’s going to give you God dreams in the moment.  There’s a word that I believe is going to be a theme that’s going to be resounding over the next 18 months in this place - Transformation – transforming the culture, transforming the society.  There’s an anointing coming upon you. This is what I heard the Lord say you are well able to carry it out.

Some of you feel you’ve been in this tug of war – some of you feel like you’ve been pulled back, pulled back, pulled back - like a rubber bad ready to snap.  I saw an arrow in the bow of the Lord being drawn back toward his eye.  God has not been pulling you back, but He’s been drawing you back, because He’s about to aim you right at the target. You’re about to fly baby fly.  I’m telling you right now, what you felt was warfare was really just a stretching.  I said these words to Pastor Jeff in the car - God is going to take you from warfare to wonder.  Some of you’ve been in intense warfare, but you’re about to go from warfare to wonder....

I really believe this right now - Every dream has its death before it has its day. (2x) You know what I think – For Abraham - he left everything he knew – Lord, it doesn’t look like the promise – Moses gets a great word - plagues come, trials come – It doesn’t look like the promise – David gets a word, and lions and tigers, and bears and giants show up, and it doesn’t look like the promise.

I’m here to tell you that there are some of you that feel like you are holding on by a thread.  I saw something beautiful just open up in the room.  I saw the heart of God and I saw all of these strings coming all over this auditorium this morning.  I saw a string being put in everybody’s hand, and I heard the Lord say He is releasing the heartstrings of Heaven.  I feel like you can grab a hold if you feel like you are hanging on by a thread, but I’m telling you right now you’re hanging on by the heartstring of Heaven. There’s a healing of hope in this room this morning.  Jesus has come to heal the hope of many.  

One of the first words I ever gave this place is what I declare every time I walk in - I’m not just entering Grace Center, but I’m entering an epicenter of hope and healing for the nations.  There are times where it looks like it’s tested, and there are times where it looks like, how’s that going to happen and all of those things.  But I’m telling you right now that God is removing every excuse and He’s removing every, and, if, or but.  Some of you are trying to talk yourself out of the promise, but I’m telling you right now God is closing the door to talk you out. There’s only one way; you are going forward.

Some of you right now – that arrow - He’s about to aim you, to launch you like never before.  I’m talking to you right now - I believe right now in this moment He’s about to saturate this place with his glory and goodness.  We’ve come to the end of our time, But if I’m talking to you and you say David, I feel like my dream has died and my promises are not coming to pass, I don’t even know what to do anymore – But, I’m going to step into it. I’m not going to quit.  I’m going to press on.  I’ve got good news for you. He didn’t bring you all this way to let you fall down, quit, or turn around. It’s time to press in. It’s time to move forward.  It’s time to watch him do what He said He would do.

Choose to believe this morning that it’s time to dream.  I heard the Lord say I dare you to dream again.  When it seemed like Joseph’s dream was dead, he dreamed another dream.  When everyone came against him, he dreamed another dream.  I saw the Lord just writing with his finger over many of your lives today – the dream lives.  You’re right, everything that can be shaken is being shaken but not for the process of shaking, but so that the unshakeable things can remain.  Every dream has its death before it has its day.  I just heard the Lord say happy birthday – because there is a birthday for your dreams.  There is a finish line to your faith.  If I’m talking to you right now, I want you to stand to your feet.  I believe right now that there is a divine alignment for the assignment of God over this house.

Holy Spirit I thank You that in this next season the people of God at Grace Center are going to feel like they are dreaming - Psalm 126 says we are like those who dreamed.  And they said among the nations, the Lord’s been good to us.  We declare – Yes! The Lord has been good to us and we are glad. What you sowed in tears is reaped with joy.  The reapers are about to overtake the sowers, so before the seed even hits the ground there’s going to be a harvest to gather up.  Right now I break off the weariness.  I break off the summer slumber.  Lord, right now I thank You we are not just going to, and going through, but we are breaking through and we’re breaking out.  I thank You right now for the outflowing and inflowing of the Holy Spirit in this room.  I speak life to every dream and hope to every defeated place.  I declare that Jehovah Nissi is inthis room.  I declare victory to every defeated place.

I thank You that You are who You say You are, and do exactly what you said that You would do. I thank You that You turning things around and You are putting everything on track and it’s not just the 8 track, but the fast track.  Lord, right now I thank You for the grace to get through the processes so we can grab a hold of the promises.  Right now in this place, I release the healing of hope and I release breakthrough among your people.  Right now some of you are feeling a shift – something is changing on the inside. Some of you need to revisit your prophetic words.  You need to revisit your dreams.  There is new vision for old dreams.  There’s a fresh word for the old word.  Some of you are going to go back and listen, and hear things you didn’t even hear the first 7 times.  Lord, right now I thank You for opening the Heavens and opening the doors in this place.

In Jesus name - Amen

Prophecy from Patricia King

Patricia King 03/16/2014 2nd Service

I have a word that I’m commissioned to bring.  I had an angelic visitation on October 29th 2013.  The Lord told me to take that word and deliver it to his people. When you hear a word that you witness as being from the Lord for you, it has your name on it. God can speak to you in many different ways, but often times He will deliver you a word from a preacher, and when you receive that, when it witnesses in your spirit as being from the Lord, that becomes your word.  That is your promise that you can stand on. You can take that to the bank, and it will manifest.  That’s why He sends forth his word, so that you will be able to enjoy the power of that word.  In Romans 4:20-21 It says concerning Abraham – “yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,  and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.”

Turn to your neighbor and say, “I am fully assured that God is able to fulfill his promise”.

In Hebrews 4:1-2 –Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.  For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also ; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.

We are living in a season where there is so much revelatory release in the body (the prophetic church has arisen and is proclaiming the revelation of God).  The danger of such a time when there is copious release of revelatory word is that it just becomes too familiar, too common place.  We read it and say, “That’s nice” and forget it.  When God speaks we don’t harden our heart, but we embrace that word and we respect the word, we honour the word, we live the word, we don’t let go of the word no matter what the circumstances are around us.  When that word is quickened to us, we lay hold of it.  Many of you have promises the Lord has spoken to you, maybe from years ago.  (Maybe a prophecy, maybe a verse from Scripture) You knew that they were from God, and you rejoiced in them, but over time they have been forgotten or opposed by circumstances and you just let them go.  For some of you, your hearts are discouraged because hope deferred makes the heart sick.  God wants to bring encouragement to you here.  I am here to bring encouragement to you today with a word from the Lord for you, for this house, for this hour.  If you identify this word as being from God, witnessing to your spirit, that you would even like this word because He sent me to offer it to you, if you think, I really like that word, I’ll take it, then it’s yours.  You can say, “It’s mine”.  This word is yours if you want it.  I’m sure you’ll want it because it’s a really good word.

One morning I was getting ready to make breakfast for some houseguests.  I was thinking about scrambling eggs and getting them out to my guests.  I wasn’t in prayer or worship; I wasn’t even thinking about God.  He can speak to you at any time.  An angel showed up and I received 3 scrolls – 3 sure words from the Lord.  I’m going to give you these words because God told me to.  He said, “Go and proclaim these words”.  If you believe the prophetic word and receive it and love it, then it will come to pass.  In our ministry we review these words all the time because we want to honour and celebrate the word that God gave. 

The first word was out of: Proverbs 31:25 - Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future . 

The Lord says, “Smile at your future because it is good.  It has already been determined as good.

[When Patricia first visited the third Heaven in January 1994, it was at a time where she was very burdened by the unrighteousness and suffering evident everywhere, and she was very intense in the area of intercessory prayer.  She was serious about changing the world, although feeling like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.  When she ascended into Heaven she heard loud, loud laughter.  When she became aware of how happy Heaven was, she was offended.  We are seated in Heavenly places with Christ.  We can have our emotions in two places.  She asked, “Is this all you guys do up here is have a party?  Do you understand what we’re dealing with on planet earth?  God said, “There is no anxiety in Heaven.  None.  We already live in what is completed - the culmination of all things into Christ.  Why don’t you live there too?”]

God is not up there in Heaven saying, “What are we going to do?”  He’s not like that.  He is settled in joy.  In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy.  Everything in that realm is good. There is no anxiety in Heaven.  In the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy.

He wants us to understand that his invitation to us for every day of our lives is to live in his goodness.  Your future is going to be amazing.  The world we live in right now is full of negativity and fear.  It’s everywhere.

We have to be careful that we are listening to the right voice, because we are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, and our future is good.  His favor endures for a lifetime.  You can have what you believe for.  Believe for the promise that God gives, not for the lies of the devil.  If you want to believe for the lies of the devil, that’s what will manifest in your life.

God wants you to know who He is.  He is altogether righteous; He is majestic; He is full of love; He is truth; He is all powerful; He is shalom; His very nature is peace; He is good; He is pure; He is holy; He is good.  God is in your future.  You are in him and He is in you.  If you believe the word that He gives you, every day of your tomorrows, you can have hope and expectation that it will be good.  God wants to raise your faith level today.

We think on negative and natural levels although we are supernatural beings, and we serve a supernatural God.  You have to have a resolve in your life that God will be good to you all of your days, not only your now, but your tomorrows.  We are living in the grandest days of church history.  Right now there is a massive harvest.  We are on the verge of something great.  

When it comes to your finances, don’t let fear have any place in your life, only expectation for what is good.

You don’t have to be moved by what’s going on around you.  You need to walk in wisdom about streamlining and pruning, but operate in faith and not fear.

Isaiah 60:2-3 is about the goodness of God.  For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples ; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you.  "Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.

The virtuos woman is the church.  We are not moved.

Daniel 7 – the spirit of the enemy is going to try and change laws to work against God, but it’s only for a season.  Believe the word of God and don’t twist it to say what your emotions would like it to say.  Be courageous and full of love, speaking the truth in love and standing on the word.

The second scroll said:

Gen 41:29 - Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt

Let God speak it right to you.  Don’t let your mind go to seven years of lack following.  Live it out to its fullest measure.  Dream big on that word abundance!  What does that look like? – love in your home in every family member and action – abundance of favor – doors flinging open – strength and vitality – abundance of friendship – fruitfulness in ministry – more anointing – prophetic gifts – souls saved – exponential increase – provision

Receive it – Abraham laid hold of the promise and didn’t let it go.  He treated it with honor.

The third scroll said:

Genesis 22:17 - indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore ; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.

“Greatly” bless us with spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ – everything that pertains to life and godliness.  Take that blessing – don’t let it just float out there.

“Multiply” the seed – Not just add.  The lowest measure of multiplication is double.  It is for two things:

1.  God said to me, “In this season, sow the word as much as you can because I’m going to greatly multiply the effect of the word”.  Look for opportunities to sow the word.  Use media!!  You can reach millions.  It’s going to have tremendous influence and effect in this next season.  God is going to greatly multiply the seed of his word - the blessing words.  Sow it in prayer, in decrees, in preaching, in media, and prophecy it over your own life.

2.  Also sow financial seed so that he can greatly multiply that.  

Later that day, God came with a fourth word – 100 fold increase will come to you in this year.

Genesis 26:12-13 - Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold . And the LORD blessed him, and the man became rich, and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy.

Isaac sowed according to promise not circumstance (famine) because he believed God, and he reaped 100 fold.  Isaac believed God was a covenant keeping God.  There is an anointing and a faith measure you use in sowing, but there has to be a corresponding one for reaping.  God wants you to lift up your expectation to reap.  Farmers sow according to what they hope to reap.  Sow your seed with intentionality and belief for the yield you are wanting.  Don’t just throw your seed out there.  What kind of yield do you want?  Don’t give with no expectation to receive; live in the Kingdom economy which is based on sowing and reaping.  What are you believing for?  Sow accordingly.

Isaac received a quick turnaround.  This is also a season of quick turnaround.   Also says, “AND the Lord blessed him” – Do you have an expectation for the state of perpetual richness in all things?  Rich in love, goodness, wisdom, provision.  You don’t want a poverty spirit with the associated grossness, sickness, disease, discouragement, theft and corruption.  Your God is rich, and you are made in his likeness and image.  He is not confined to the world system to look after you.  He has nothing to do with it; don’t put your trust in it.  The Israelites didn’t have any food coming out of Egypt, and God poured quality bread out of Heaven like fast food.  They had water from a rock.  They lived under an open Heaven.  God knows what you have need of.  He is going to give you what you need.  Live in the state of knowing you are rich, which has nothing to do with how much money you have in the bank, but how much faith you have.

Once you have carved out a realm of truth by going through all the warfare of getting rid of the lies that conflict with that truth, that realm begins to attract blessing to itself.  When you create a realm of abundance, abundance will be attracted to you.  You can believe your way out of poverty and lack by believing promises of God. 

The extremely wealthy rule the world.  Move forward into richness one realm at a time.  The promises God is giving you today will change your life if you believe them.  God wants you to rule the world, not the heads of drug cartels or sex traffickers.

It is impossible for these four words not to come to pass in my life.

Testimony of $100,000 that was needed for a project to be completed.  Sowed a $1000 based on the word.  Before the end of the year, project was funded in addition to another $200,000 project.

Many of you are believing for family members that have walked away from God.  Sow into the Spirit decrees of the word for them.  Think beyond the first level and expect many to know God.

God want to bless many of you in your families, businesses, education, health, and every area of your lives.  He wants to bring blessing and release.  You are such precious people.  You love God with all of your hearts.  You have been discouraged.  I can feel it on you.  You’ve lost focus on the promises that God has given you because of what the devil has thrown at you – those things that look contrary to the promise.  Today that discouragement will come off of you.  The spirit of faith will enter you and you will rise up with a brand new wind in your sails and a brand new release in your spirit.  I’m so excited about what God has for you.

Reach your hands up into the glory.  In the name of Jesus Christ, we break the power of every lie of the devil that has attempted to bring discouragement to your people.  In the name of Jesus we crush the head of the liar.  

The Lord says there is going to be turnarounds.  Some of you are going to see turn around overnight.  What has been a curse will turn into a blessing for you.

There are some of you here this morning, where you got a letter just this week with shocking and overwhelming news.  The Lord says, “Do not fear, and do not be dismayed for I am your God.  I am going to show you a doorway of hope to walk through that will bring forth a victory.  Do not believe any word but the word that I give you.  It is a word of favor”.

Your latter glory is going to be greater than your former.  Even though there has been a season in your walk that seemed empty, your heart is going to be stirred up with fresh fire.  The Lord is not far from you.  He does not condemn you.  He calls you his treasure.  He is near you and will perfect your faith.  He will give you his shoulder to lean on.  His arm is around you and he’s walking you through it.   He is a redeemer of our times and a redeemer of our failures; He’s a redeemer of our paths.

New beginnings for your people Lord - Fresh igniting of passion and glory and purpose – our faith and our love.  You haven’t seen anything yet.  The best is yet to come.

Prophecy from Patricia King

Patricia King 03/16/2014

I’d like to just commend this house for all that you’re doing. Not only in the local region for having a strong pastoral portal where people can come and be nurtured in the things of the Lord but also in the nations. 

And what I was seeing this morning in worship, in this session, was, Pastor, this building I see, I see a building anointing on you. It sounds like the great architect in heaven has this plan that is being unfolded. That is not only involving the region here, but I see it in nations. And the Lord is going to give you an invitation to build in nations. I see that you’ve been building a spiritual house. In fact I think it was around 14 years ago, I felt the Lord say, that he put a vision in your heart and it was like Joseph but after Joseph had his dream it was like all hell broke loose sort of thing. But in that process his authority got built in him so when it came to pass, when it actually came to pass he brought deliverance to two nations in a really critical hour because God had prepared Him. 

I sense the Lord saying that He’s prepared you for this hour. “Rise and shine because this is your time to shine.” This is your time to shine. I just see this scroll. It’s like a blueprint out of heaven, unfolding, and there’s expansion, there’s addition, there’s rearrangement of things. Even infrastructures and things are going to have to be redefined and restructured for this next season because expansion is coming. Certain dreams, certain things you’ve seen in the past that have yet to be fulfilled, He says “Hold onto those words, hold onto the vision because this is your time to shine.”

I see out of this house, I just see nations being so touched. I see schools of ministry being established in different nations. In particular I see the continent of Africa. I believe that this house is going to have connection there to raise up leaders who will be true revivalists in every sense of the word. 

I also sense the word...you know in the natural in order to release rain, the vapor of the earth has to go up. So the vapor of the earth goes up and it collects and falls as rain. In your house at this time, the vapor of worship and intentional intercession to bring  targets, like certain focuses that you’re going to have in prayer to birth a vision of the Lord, I see it going up and then this huge massive cloud is collecting the vapor and pouring down rain. 

The Lord says...you know His house is called a house of prayer....I know as a ministry every morning we gather our team together...we gather for one hour of worship, of meditating on the word, prayer and communion. And the Lord spoke really strong to us. He said “My house is called a house of prayer”. And so make that a priority. All your prayers get answered when you pray according to His will so connect with Him and pray according to His will because He hears you.
