The Grace To Minister

The tendency of prophetic ministers today is to be black and white with everything. The gray areas are very questionable to some of us. But in a deeper sense, the gray areas are the ones that helps us understand grace, minister in love and bring freedom by not pushing the person. 

"Jeremiah 31:2-3 Thus says the LORD:”The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you...."

Freedom in Christ is a choice by the person in bondage. If the person ministering tries to put or implement his own tactics over a person then we are no longer ministering as the Holy Spirit directs but by manipulation. We all know how manipulation tries to overpower people and that's the one thing we don't want to do or manifest.

"Hebrews 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Another tendency we have is the discipline is to follow protocols without administering so much love. We fully love the Lord but hate the enemy and all the more love the person in bondage. Unless our gifts is ministered through love can there be freedom that comes from manifesting the right attitude. I actually call it wisdom. We need to be very vigilant about choosing the right words to say with authority and acts to administer grace.

"Acts 20:32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified."

We only work our giftings through the work of grace in our lives. We can never walk in freedom unless we recognize that it is only through the grace of God that we walk in freedom, living a life filled with the love of a father whose grace is sufficient for all of us.

"Acts 4:33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all."

My prayer is that as prophetic ministers, we administer and admonish love rather than just discipline. I am a solid follower of protocols but the Holy Spirit doesn't always work like that as He administer His fruits which includes so much that can only be defined as GRACE.

The many great wonders done by the apostle Paul (and the rest) is because grace was sufficient for them. They acted in love instead of just solely in authority. I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit but it is also a need to minister through love because it manifests the grace of God in us and through us.

2015: Generals International Prophetic Roundtable by Cindy Jacobs

2015 seems to be a new beginning to many of us. In the couple of articles and declarations I've read, there seems to be a common message of the "new things" and with new people rising up for their prophetic destiny. 

One good article I watched is from Cindy Jacobs' Generals International. Here is the Youtube video of the entire discussion that came from the round table of Prophets for the said ministry.

To note, the message actually spoke of people from different voices from the seasoned to the new and emerging ones. A fulfillment itself to what was being declared through the entire session. I'd like to quote the article with these midnight call:

This is going to be a year for divine midnight turnarounds. There is a significant contrast between what was and what is to come. The midnight hour is that dark time when we have to choose between believing God or the devil, where we either say that God is faithful or we experience a faith failure by letting our emotions rule.

Paul and Silas worshipped God when in chains, and at the midnight hour, God gave them the turnaround (Acts 16:25). The Lord will remove your chains at the midnight hour!
Samson lay down until midnight but then got up and tore the doors off the city gate (Judges 16:3). Supernatural strength comes at the midnight hour!

Deliverance from the Egyptians came at the midnight hour (Exodus 11:4). The Lord will move on your behalf at the midnight hour. You will be released from any oppressor!
Ruth changed the heart of her kinsman-redeemer at midnight (Ruth 3:8). The Lord will manifest as your kinsman-redeemer at the midnight hour! This speaks of the restoration of generational inheritance.

There are also those who have despaired of getting married, and for many, their Boaz will manifest in this season.

God will require us to stand firm in the midnight hour of changing seasons. We cannot afford to stay in the old season. As mentioned above, the word “recalibrate” indicates metamorphosis; the picture is appropriate because it involves a struggle.  

If  God is doing the great works in this end time harvest, let us do our share to spread the coming days. This is indeed the year of the midnight turnarounds!

2015: The Year of Unfolding

To start of my articles, I've decided to post my own insight for what 2015 will hold. It is brief and speaks to many prophetic voices in their wilderness stage. I have sought the Lord's direction on this and gave me inputs which I will share more on the next few articles as well.

December 23, 2014 8:12PM

A word for those pioneering in this season:

A season of breaking through is at hand. The birthing of the new things has began and every step is crucial for the labor not to be in vain. It is His season of greatness, ripeness of fruits that men from each corners will lay hands to accomplish the purposes of which God has established.

May the new dawn come forth, with the season to run and accomplish, pursue and win! This is the new season! The breaking through phase for the birthing of the new! The old has come and gone as it established the foundation of the next. It shall come to pass, it shall not tarry it shall not put restraint to the purposes of GOD!

Behold, the army of the Lord marches forward to abound, to win and to expand the kingdom of God!

2015 is a year of unfolding. What has been laid bare will be made known. Its a year of accelerated favor as blessings will overflow from the old cysterns to the new wine skins.

What has hold you back from the old years will break forth into a new step to walk through. Fear not, for the roads and paths are made anew to behold and unfold the beauty and grandeur of hope renewed, refreshed and replenished.

It is a season for many fresh new starts. What beauty does a new birthing to behold but a new beginning for what was thought of as uncertain and unplanned. This is the hope we profess and declare for the year ahead.

2015 is the new year, fresh and bountiful for the saints to flourish.

2015 Mandate and (P)Articles

The Lord has built the five-fold ministry to establish His kingdom work here on earth. He is in the business of not just restoring one or two ministries but ALL MINISTRIES until the church reaches maturity. But how can we define such times? Which words are true and who to believe in such a time where false and truth seems to side with each other? 

For the next few articles, I will try to share some articles from famous prophetic voices on how to discern the words, the time and the calling for 2015. Please be reminded that not everything should be accepted as it is and must be dealt with much prayer - seeking wisdom and understanding to confirm what was said is true. 

I am no respecter of person and I will be posting from both the "known" and "unknown" and weigh each words down bit by bit to fully understand its importance for such a time as this.

Please feel free to send me your articles and prophetic messages if you have any but will all be subject to checking before I post it here - edited and updated just in case.

2015 Message: Thy Kingdom Come... By Jonathan David, ISAAC

This came from the 2015 message of Dr. Jonathan David, the spiritual father of my mentors in  the ministry. It is both encouraging and exciting to know what God is doing in the earth today!

BE BLESSED!

Dear Prophetic Partners in Destiny,

Warmest Greetings and sincere love from Mum and I!

We are believing for an Extraordinary Year of Outstanding miracles in each of your lives. 2014 had brought many prophetic fulfilment of what God had said in the past. Many visions and dreams have become germinated and has been accelerated into maturity and fulfilment. It is impossible for God to lie. He has spoken with His mouth and fulfilled it with His Hands.

2015 will be another year of favour and grace for God's people. God is going to supernaturally gather, guide and govern His people so that they can receive the power to prevail and the grace to govern with Him.

The proceeding word of 2015 is THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH. God will strategically place each one of us in a prevailing position to pray the kingdom and prophesy into existence the word of authority in our mouth will cause to materialize and find expression in and through our lives.

The quality of internalization of the Kingdom in and through our lives will reveal the stature that we carry. This kingdom frequency that resonates within us because of God's government upon our lives will influence and impact everything in the vicinity to come under subjection. The Holy Spirit and the inspired word will cause all things to come under subjection and work together according to the heavenly pattern as it is in heaven.

God is determined to take His church into the Kingdom Age so that the church will be formed to live and express that which comes from the Kingdom.

2015 is the beginning of the end of the all flesh and a new beginning of the expression of Kingdom lifestyle and values as it is in heaven. God is wanting what is in the Kingdom to be done on earth. What will be replicated on the earth must be according to the pattern as it is in heaven. The key concepts that will trigger the Holy Spirit's intervention are words pertaining to the Kingdom. We are walking out of the Age of Sin and Iniquity and into the Kingdom Age. The sons of the Kingdom will not only be in the Kingdom but they will inherit the Kingdom of their Father. They will bring sin, sickness and satanic forces under the subjection to the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ and He will rule over His enemies.

We will See the manifestation, Be the demonstration and Speak the transformation in a way that we have never done before. Extraordinary dimensions of Christ will be revealed. Greater dynamics will be seen in the church reform. Remarkable decrees will be declared, in the city rebuilt. God is preparing the church to receive the Kingdom mandate:

INFLUENCE EVERY DOMAIN
IMPACT EVERY GENERATION
TRANSFORM EVERY NATION
IN OUR LIFETIME

The stone has been cut without hands and sent to strike the statue on the feet of iron and clay and crush them. The stone kingdom will destroy the kingdoms of this world. The stone that struck the statue will become a great mountain and it will fill the whole earth. The God of heaven will set up the kingdom that will never be destroyed. This stone kingdom will not be left for another people because God has found the Finishing Generation who will take dominion to rule and reign. The increase of His Kingdom and of peace there will be no end (Daniel 2:34,35,44; Isaiah 9:6,7)

2015 Christ will be Revealed, Church will be Reformed and the City will be Rebuilt.

Hear and heed the prophetic word that will give you wisdom to build an enduring house for yourself and for your church.

Dr. Jonathan David
