THE SIGNIFICANT BLESSING OF A CROSSING OVER GENERATION

THE SIGNIFICANT BLESSING OF A CROSSING OVER GENERATION

By: Dr. Jonathan David, ISAAC

2014 is the year of extraordinary prophetic fulfillment, provision, protection and progress.

READING text: Joshua 3: 1,6,11,14,17

The things that will happen before our eyes will be beyond our imagination. Not only us crossed over, God has already crossed ahead of us. That’s why God will never ask us to do something where He is not ahead of us. God has sent us to represent Him. That’s why this will be an interesting year. We don’t have to get into trouble to be protected. 

We are protected because we take the journey with Him. When we do the right thing, the enemy will try to attack us. If we do the wrong things, we are already in our path of doom. God will deliver us from evil men and evil powers and unjust circumstances. God will guard us. The protection will be amazing. That’s why we need to stand still. (vs. 8). We stand still and see what God can do.

In the beginning of 2013, God gathered us so that we can cross over. He gathered us here with our family, network and people so that we can cross over. God desires us to go ahead just as the priests. In every crossing over, there must be a generation that be the first to cross; the first company that know God that carry God’s presence. God will give them the breakthrough so that others can follow. 

When they go ahead, the people can see them carrying the ark and the movement and realized the way. Observe the faith of others. See how husbands or wife rise up. See how little children rise up. See how others are doing it in God in business, etc. Even though they stand still in the waters, the sea parted and this became an example.

God has assembled people together to go across. He Himself went ahead of us. God gathered all of us so that we can cross over. When the people saw the ark going ahead and the priest going ahead, they left their tents and started to cross also until the whole nation crossed over. God doesn’t just want one person to cross but everyone, family, men and women, church member, student, etc. Anyone who carries the name of Christ who crossed over will be blessed.

Hear the voice of God and listen to the Holy Spirit and do what He tells us to do. All that God is saying to us in 2013 and 2014 is the same. If we cross over, we are extraordinary.We will become a distinctive company of people. He wants to make us different from the rest of the world. He wants us to be the head and not the tail not just in the church but business, political, etc. We will be bold, strong and courageous. 

A new generation is rising. The old is passing away. A new generation will rise and we will be that new generation. We will be different. Our children and marriage will be different. Ours will be distinctively different. God will separate the righteous from the unrighteous. If we have been sowing and sowing this is our year. We’ve been praying and something will happen this year. This year will be extraordinary and it will be a year that we have never seen before.

People will look at our family, how we talk and how we raise our children and they will see the different and extraordinary. The days are coming where the world will see a true life that is the manifestation of the true sons of God. God is going to make the difference.

God will cleanse them and qualify them and promote them so that the enemy has no grounds on their lives.

God will cleanse us, heal us, delivery us, take away every ground in our lives where the enemy can attack us in the future. We cannot stand before our enemies if there is sin in the camp. God promised this year that He will not allow us to give any room to the enemy. We will give no occasion and ground so that our future victory will be secured. The enemy cannot find any grounds in our lives. God will cleanse our past. The Lord wants us to possess lands and contracts and business but we cannot go if our grounds have been taken over by the enemy.

If the enemy is controlling our temper, mind, character, then our future is lost. God wants to cleanse us this year. Give up every ground that the enemy has taken over. Take back our time and life. Don’t let the enemy take our time and life. No more grounds for the devil. Take back everything right now in the Name of Jesus. Don’t give the devil our mind, relationship, marriage, etc. Let God descend on the ground and the ground will be holy and no man will be able to stand against us. God is protecting us. Take back time, family, business, finance, relationship, health, emotions, and etc. God will do this great work and cleanse our lives.

When our grounds are in the hands of the devil, no matter how high we go, we still cannot achieve because the devil has the hold over our lives grounds are not in the devil’s hand, even the first step is already a victory. When we go before our enemies, they cannot hold us and touch us. Satan is coming but there is nothing in us. He cannot hold any grounds and any area of our minds and emotions. When this happen, this is the distinctive blessing that God is giving to us. He wants us to go forward with no enemies attached to us. Devils will leave us.

God will speak to us and change our lives very powerfully until the enemy cannot follow us to the top. Every joy willbe pure joy. The enemy cannot keep coming and following us because God’s protection is over our lives. God will cleanse us this year. There will be extraordinary progress. Cross over to the other side.

We see prophetic fulfillment that never happened in other generation God promised the people in Egypt and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph but they never saw. They heard about it but never saw. This generation sat at the wilderness, trusted God’s words and entered into the Promised Land and defeated 7 nations stronger than them.

What others have heard, we will see it in reality. There will be angelic visitation. People heard that God can speak, but we will hear God speak. People heard about miracles but we will do miracles. People heard all the promises but we will see the reality. We will experience God in our lives. What God promised will not fall to the ground. He made the promises for us. He wants us to be healed and we will be healed. His promises will not fall to the ground. Every promise will become a reality. Take away fear and doubt in our heart.

Every word that God has promised us will become a reality. No one word will fall to the ground. Families will be blessed. Lay hold of God’s words. If it is God’s word for us it will come to pass. What is impossible will become possible for us. Others can dream about it but we will do it. Those who know their God will do great exploits. Be the first one in the family, neighborhood, city, etc.

They enhance the corporate anointing. When we gather together there is strength in the power of one. God will not allow us to do things alone. The school is not built alone. A building and a church are not built alone. Everyone contribute our part. Don’t try to go alone and do things alone. Connect and become stronger together. Work together as a house fellowship, as father and sons.

Moses suffered a lot because he had to do everything for the people. The days of Joshua were different. All the priests carried the ark and opened the Jordan river; not Joshua. Everyone do what needs to be done. When everyone functions well, there will be growth and increase. May we find the power of one. We cannot see our prayers answered unless we join together. Then everyone will enter into rest. Our blessing will come but build the house first. When we build the storehouse well and the storehouse is full and established, God asked us to test Him if God will bring the blessings outside into our house. Come under the order of the house.

When we enhance the power of one, we can put more of the enemy to flight. Seek Him with all our might and push into the spirit with all our might, soul and strength. What we cannot do individually, we can do it together. We must

be totally selfless and desire to touch God first. Put God’s agenda first. Put God’s people as priority after God’s agenda. When the power of one becomes our portion and we do our part and synchronize together, what we receive on Sunday will be much more and what we can receive as an individual. Many of our victory this year depend on how we engage the word, the house and God’s people.

Provisions will flow. The supply of the spirit and things that we never thought could come to us will come to us. The magnitude of things that will happen in our lives will be extraordinary. We will not take credit of anything because

we will know that it is God. What was difficult before will become easy because the heavens are opened.

VACANT SEATS OF SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY (Jonas Clark)

Who will fill the seats of governing spiritual authority? Moses My servant is dead (Joshua 1:2). The Lord spoke these words to Joshua thousands of years ago as He called the young warrior to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Those words marked a transition in the spirit in the days of Joshua and Caleb.

Thousands of years later, another transition is taking place. Some leaders have fallen into sin disqualifying themselves from ministry and others have been taken captive by the spirit of error. The last two decades we have seen many Christian leaders go home to be with the lord, Lester Sumrall, Kenneth Hagin Sr., Derek Prince, Bill Bright, John Osteen and others, they remained unspotted and occupied places in the spirit realm of spiritual authority.

The Body of Christ benefited greatly from the unwavering faith in God, prophetic direction, and godly admonition that these men imparted to the Church for many decades. Each of these men were apostles of faith that occupied a position of governing authority in the Body of Christ.

These anointed leaders have now completed their courses to reap their just rewards with our Lord Jesus Christ. We are noticing the obvious missing impact of their presence in the natural. The passing of these generals has left unoccupied seats of spiritual authority. Now, the Holy Spirit is telling many of us the same thing: “There are vacancies in the spirit.” Where are the Joshuas and Calebs of this generation? Who will fill the vacancies in the spirit?

PREPARED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

In the natural, there are constant political campaigns in progress around the nation. They are running to fill vacant seats of governing authority. Every four years we will decide who the next President of the United States of America will be. Spiritually speaking, in the Kingdom of God it is also election time, where God will elect, choose and equip his people to take their rightful place in culture and in the Church.

God is preparing leaders in wilderness places right now to occupy the spiritual vacancies left by our spiritual pioneers; leaders the world has never heard of; leaders that have never been on television or on radio or featured within the pages of popular Christian periodicals. God is readying to introduce this new breed of leaders to the Body of Christ.

Like John the Baptist, these new breed leaders have been hidden in the wilderness until the time of their revealing. They will be men and women of integrity, faith, vision, morality, virtue and apostolic grit that will not compromise with religion but will have a burning desire to go to the nations with the Gospel. They will carry a great passion for the eternal purpose of the Church as they present the increase of His government to the Body of Christ.

When Moses died, God spoke to Joshua. He said, “Moses my servant is dead, now it’s time to cross over the Jordan and possess the Promised Land.” Moses was a great leader. He took the people of God to the outskirts of the Promised Land. While the Israelites could see the land, it was Joshua and Caleb – men of a different spirit – whom God used to lead the people through warfare into their inheritance.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

This is a prophetic type and shadow of where we are today. There truly are leadership vacancies in the spirit waiting to be filled. Are you part of the new breed of leaders that God is raising up to fill them? New breed leaders love Jesus but are sick and tired of dead lifeless religion. They are bored with church as usual. They feel like they just don’t fit in and they are ready to pursue a change. They are willing to take the Gospel of the Kingdom of God into culture for a witness.

The Church has been in spiritual transition for the last several years. It is almost like we have been caught between moves of God. Every move of God has been a preparation and a stepping stone into something greater. We needed the Great Reformation. We needed the Holiness Movement. We needed the Faith Movement.

IT'S OUR TIME NOW

Now it’s time for the apostolic movement. The Church is presently experiencing a restoration of the apostolic grace. With that grace is coming a greater boldness, determination, and a fresh willingness to possess what belongs to every believer. Words like revelation, build, church, authority, government, teams, equip, and send will become commonplace. Modern examples of equipped believers sent out of strong local churches on teams will mirror what’s written in the Book of Acts.

With that release of apostolic grace, however, is also a challenge of ministry orientation, roles, functions and structures of ministries. Of course, it also includes the grace necessary to fill the spiritual vacancies left behind by those who have pioneered before us.

New breed believers will dearly miss those great generals who have left this earth, but new breed believers can rejoice in the understanding that they were born for such a time as this and determine in their hearts to press on with the great Cause of Jesus Christ.

Jesus declared that He would present to Himself a glorious church without spot or wrinkle. The Church’s greatest days lie just ahead.

With every natural death, there is wealth left behind. Who will inherit the spiritual wealth of the impartations of yesterday to take the Church into its glorious future? Who will fill the seats of governing authority? Who will occupy the vacancies in the spirit?

The earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19).
Jesus is waiting "till His enemies be made His footstool (Hebrews 10:13).

God is waiting for the 21st century Joshua generation to rise up and the next apostolic leaders who will deliver God's people from bondage of religion and equip them for purpose.

What are you waiting for?
