MISSION STATEMENT
To spiritually hear and take God's heart to the nations by speaking His Word prophetically. To teach the people of the nations to know, hear, and trust the voice of the one and only true and living God for themselves. To teach and train God's people to carry the prophetic voice of God throughout the earth. |
 (2 Kings 2:8-14) Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?" "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied. "You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise not." As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them apart. He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. "Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over. |
I believe, we are living in the days of Elijah where even the elect are deceived. As the children of Israel, who believed God was called by many names, even Baal, Elijah confronted the false prophets and said you call on Baal and I'll call on Jehovah and we will see who responds. I believe we are living in the days of Elisha where God is raising up a generation who desire to inherit a double portion of God's authority and dominion. Those who will let His glory fill the earth and make His name (Jehovah, YAWH) known among the nations. We are living in a day when people believe God is called by many names and truth is relative. I tell you that Truth has a name above all names and His name is Jesus Christ. I believe we are living in days of great opportunity to build the Kingdom of God and let Truth be known. We are living in a season of God's plan when Truth divides the right and left, the God Fearers from the God Haters.

| Word of God Speak |
| Be more concerned with the shifting of powers at the hand of God than global warming. There is a global change taking place but it is a shift in the climate of the heavens and plans of God being opened upon the earth. There shall be a climatic shift upon the earth in four areas: 1. Nature; 2. Governmental Powers; 3. Economic Prosperity; 4. The Church. Fires shall rage in places never expected. They shall consume entire cities. Natural disasters shall increase and the waters shall bring much destruction. The winds shall not hold back. The droughts shall bring death to entire nations. There shall begin a breakdown of alliances for Israel and a strengthening of alliances against Israel. But a greater army will arise among them like none has seen. Two small nations will acquire nuclear capability. One will experience an accident killing many in its own nation. Powers once put down will rise up like flames from the ashes. There is a shift in powers among the nations. God has heard the blood of those martyred for His name’s sake. He is pouring out His Spirit upon nations where the blood of His people cries out. Revival is being poured out upon those nations and upon the persecuted church. As a result the power of even the governments will shift from one opposing the favor of God to those who seek the favor of God. So it will be that as the righteous favor of God is poured out upon those nations so shall there be a shift in the providential prosperity of those nations relative to the favor of God of which they seek. Nations once prosperous shall find themselves in desolation. Nations once desolate will find great prosperity. So shall it be that those nations who have assumed the favor of God because of their history and genealogy shall see the spirit of Ichabod upon their cities. In those nations where the lines between truth and propaganda have silenced the church in its compromise there shall be a degradation of magnitude that will affect generations to come. They have opened the door of moral perversion to destroy their generations. The days of the unrighteous who destroy the children with selfish perversion and death shall heap upon their heads the justice of a God whose heart will take no more. The spirit of the Jezebel is upon the nation that seeks to silence the church. So it is upon those who seek to pervert or silence the Voice of Truth to be spoken to the heart of God's people. Those who play the Bride will be exposed for God seeks a heart change among His people. The church that was shall no longer be. A new church is arising. The day of the universal people pleasing church will be short lived. There will be a restoration of a New Testament church. One that seeks to feed the sheep and disciple the nations; one that truly seeks to build the Kingdom of God after the heart of Father; one that will teach God’s people to know His voice, Hear His voice, obey His voice, and be His voice to the nations; One that will not sell out as politically correct prophets and will not sell prophecy for personal profit. As the prophets of God arise, so shall many arise who speak not the words of God. As well will there be those who as money changers in the temple, they place a market price on the Words of God as do the sooth seers and fortune tellers. There shall be those who shun the Voice and those who run to the Voice. God is restoring, even greater than the former rain, the reign of the Five-Fold ministry; Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, and Evangelist shall operate in their offices in a never before seen unity. They shall function as a well oiled machine and a great force of command among the nations in the power of the Holy Spirit. Their passion shall be for a bride passionately in love with righteousness and the heart of Father; to train God’s people in the ways of Truth and in the will of the Voice of God. There is a changing of the guard taking place. Just as there is a new season of the nations, a new dawn of the church arising so there is a changing of the guard. There shall be a new generation of apostles and prophets that will be raised up to carry the banner and raise the standard. They shall build upon the cornerstone of their father’s but they shall build a great nation among God’s people who shall love deeper, seek harder, and embrace righteousness with total surrender and abandonment. They shall wield truth like a sword and be clothed with compassion as a rob dipped in the blood of Father’s grace and mercy. Many who have made a name for themselves shall go home and those who would not make a name for themselves shall speak to the nations of God’s people and shall speak with the authority of the Kingdom of God. Signs and wonders will follow that only generations past heard or dreamed of but they will say, “Tell no one of famed ministries only that the glory of God has come.” God is looking for a people who will not just seek a prophetic word or ask “What is the will of God?” God is looking for a people know and do the will of God. God is looking for a people who will be the will of God in the earth.
