Kingdom Minded
Laura Gagnon

God wants to give us a key to unlock our future. It's called a kingdom mindset. Until we come into agreement with God's plans, His vision, and His timing, we remain stuck. It's not so much as "oops, we missed it," as the fact that sometimes God waits until we can see and agree with what is in His heart. Isaiah 30:18 says, "Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you, and therefore He will be exalted." God wants so much to demonstrate His grace and mercy towards us that even though it is hard on us, He will wait until we get into the right flow of His grace and anointing so that His desire can come forth. And rest assured, He knew a long time ago exactly where you would be at this moment. He knew and anticipated your struggles and He knew exactly what you need to hear to move you from where you've been to where you need to go! He knows exactly what word in due season you need to hear so you can make that shift with Him and not miss what He intends to do!

Today is a day for a divine shift - out of an old mindset - and into a new one. When one season closes and a new one begins, you must prepare yourself mentally so that you don’t get set up for missing your moment. The enemy will do all he can to cause you to look at circumstances and misinterpret what is going on spiritually. This is how he can bring you into agreement with the wrong things and cause you to miss the divine timing of the Lord.

The enemy attempts to change times and seasons. Only God is in control of them, but the enemy will try to get us into agreement with the wrong things so that by our very confession we agree with unbelief rather than faith. When one season closes a person may not necessarily be quick to pick up on it, and so, what may happen is that they begin to feel very bored, restless and frustrated. These are little signals that God is preparing us for something new. Things that worked in the past season or seasons will not work very effectively (or maybe not at all) in the new season. It’s because God is getting His people ready to make a shift into something different, but because people may not yet have the knowledge of the new thing He is putting together, they may begin to focus more on their feelings and speak negative words about their circumstances rather than ask for spiritual discernment and speak words of faith about things the Lord has prepared for them.

Friends, it is crucial at this time not to get overly focused on yourself. How often God wants to give us vision and revelation but there are times when He withholds it from us because He cannot tell us His plans with our current mindset. He does not want our negativity to destroy or hinder the power of the Holy Spirit. When we are conditioned to see through a filter of unbelief, our very words could stop the processes of God - not just in our life but in the lives of others that would be affected as well! The enemy will attempt to bring your thoughts down to an earthly level because that is where he works. He works in the flesh. James 3:16,17 warns us not to look to the earthly realm for wisdom, guidance or counsel for it is within this earthly realm that is filled with misinformation. It’s the realm where the enemy has influence, suggestions and will attempt to mislead you by the senses and desires connected to our flesh. The enemy will try to convince you that nothing is happening and you have nothing to look forward to, it's just the same old same old happening all over again. That is a lie! God is always working to put the pieces together, you just can't see it. The truth is, you need to be able to come up higher and redirect your attention on the Lord in order to gain the counsel from above. We look to the wisdom, guidance and counsel from Holy Spirit because it is pure, peaceable, and full of the good fruit of the Spirit. You can always tell the difference between what is earthly and enemy charged and what is pure and from the Holy Spirit. What is from the enemy or the earthly, natural realm will produce a mixture of feelings and unbelief. What is pure and from a holy source will produce joy and the witness of the Holy Spirit upon the revelation that comes from God. It will inspire your faith to come up higher. When our faith level is sufficient for what God wants to do and He knows our confession will not destroy His intentions, then we are ready to receive the revelation that has been withheld. How often we are tested when we do not understand that He has been preparing us all along!

Keep in mind that the word, the promise or the hope for your future (and this may shock you) - is NOT ABOUT YOU! It was never about you, it’s about God’s plans and His kingdom being made manifest in the earth. You are not at the center of His plan. The kingdom is at the center of His plan. You are merely a component, a piece of the puzzle to make up a much bigger picture of what He plans to accomplish here on earth. In a new season, you must transition your mindset and your mouth to agree with God. It means being open minded to new methods, a new word, a new direction and new connections. You need a fresh revelation and the inspired word of God to take you there. What is from the former season is now irrelevant. Your mind and mouth must be positioned to speak life and speak faith into the new thing God is about to do!

You may not get a “thus says the Lord” type of word. It may come like a bright idea in the midst of a storm. It may come as the most oddball thought or word from the Lord - something that may even have no apparent connection to what you were asking Him about. We have had many of those moments, but if you will act in faith and obedience to what is from the Lord (that being the key), then know that it has the ability to unlock the future. Your faith and obedience are keys to opening up new doors of opportunity and most often, it also sets off a domino effect that you could not possibly understand now because God often doesn’t show us in advance. It’s time for a shift into a kingdom mindset that unlocks your tomorrows and brings them into TODAY. It’s time. Your miracle and your breakthrough are on the way!

Prayer:

Today I declare that every negative word I have spoken about my circumstances is made null and void. I declare the power of negative words of unbelief to hinder my future to lose all power now. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to forgive my unbelief and any ways that I have misspoken about the things You want to do. Anoint my eyes to see correctly in the Spirit. Give me another chance Jesus to get it right and speak the right words, to come into agreement with what You and the Father have spoken and agreed upon in Heaven. Redirect my thoughts and align my words to speak faith and give life to what You have decreed. Please open a window of heaven and let me enter into the divine timing of the Lord. Prompt me to speak, move and obey whatever instructions You tell me to do. I ask You for wisdom, discernment and Your word of direction now. Send a person or a situation to push me into my moment, but do not let anything cause me to miss the next opportunity to partner with You in kingdom plans and purposes. In Jesus name, Amen.

Atmosphere Changers
Prophetic Word by Mary B Dovie

“The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it,”
Ezekiel 22:29-30, NKJV.

My child, I have always searched the earth looking for the ones who would stand in the gap and pray for their nation. This is the spirit of sacrifice and putting others before yourselves.

This American nation was birthed out of a remnant that did just that. Their prayers still echo in the heavenly realm making their Appeal to Heaven.

It is a true sign of humility when a people join together to give thanks for the work I AM doing among them. I have turned the advantage toward My pray-ers, but there is still much to be done before the full restoration is accomplished.

The truly grateful heart knows that I caused the turn because I heard your cries for mercy and I took the measure of the trueness of your repentance.

The intercessors must stand their place on the wall around this nation. Help each other so that none bears the burden of prayer alone. Saturate yourself, your family, your congregation, your county, your state, and your nation with the atmosphere of prayer and spiritual declarations of My goodness, power, and grace. You are atmosphere changers!

Call forth the wells of revival to be unstopped and to flow again.

Speak peace between the ethnic groups.

Call for the corruption and the corrupt ones to be exposed and excised.

Declare NO KING but KING JESUS rules over this American nation!

Thank ME for what I do in response to your faith.

Each of you has a place on the wall of prayer. Like Nehemiah, you are called to restore the “prayer wall” around this American nation. And like in Nehemiah’s day, I will do a quick work, so be faithful to your call to duty.

I receive your prayers of thanksgiving with joy. Now, you receive My joy to strengthen your faith, to lighten your burden, and to open doors of opportunity to bring you good success. I shower blessings upon you and yours this day. Shalom.

“So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days. And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God,” Nehemiah 6:15-16, NKJV.

Scriptural References:

Determined to Follow Jesus
YouVersion Bible Plan by
Dr. Kennetra A. Bryant

Luke 5:1-11

Ever been in the position knowing that Jesus is with you and He instructed you to do something? You probably had no clue nor could you conceptualize the purpose of why God called you to do the specific task but you knew Jesus was in it and you were determined to follow Him. What do you do when you clearly know Jesus is calling you to do something but you can’t grasp the full picture of the overall plan?

As modern-day disciples, we are called to follow, believe and trust Jesus. Trusting God, Following Jesus and living in obedience even when we question how things will work out will result in positive consequences in our lives. During the times of uncertainty even when you know Jesus is in it, remain determined and follow Him despite what human reasoning is telling you, past experiences have taught you or what family, associates and friends suggest to you.

An example of someone determined to follow Jesus even though the instructions didn’t make any sense and he knew Jesus was in it was with Simon Peter. Jesus’ instructions to Peter were to “Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch of fish.” Simon’s past experiences, human reasoning and personal perspectives influenced his response to Jesus which was He worked all night and caught nothing (Past experiences) Worked to the point of exhaustion (Personal issues) but at your word I will do as you say and lower the nets again (Determined to follow Jesus even when it doesn’t make sense). Peter knew Jesus was in it, saw Jesus in it and believed and his obedience resulted in a net-breaking amount of fish which not only blessed him, his family and business, Peter’s business partners were blessed and witnessed Jesus’ mighty glory and power.

Although things are unclear when we see Jesus is in it we must exhibit obedience because we don’t know how our obedience will directly or indirectly lead someone to experience the mighty power of Jesus Christ whether it is on the job, classroom, workroom, church, gym, park, grocery store, gas station, beauty salon, restaurant, post office, courtroom or bus stop. No matter where you are when it is confirmed that Jesus is in it, follow Him. Be encouraged and determined to follow Jesus!

A Season Of Great Supernatural Moves Of God
Prophetic Word by Apostle Barbara R. Thomas

Sitting here again this morning as God ministers His word to me. There is so much being downloaded into my spirit as I prepare for the next move of God in my life.

Three things, The LORD says, we will see an increase of in these last days, are turbulent situations, unnecessary distractions and unprovoked attacks.

These are the focus killers and destiny detours, that the enemy sets up at important moments in our lives, to make us miss our timings and seasons of shifting, change and elevation.

In this hour, making sure you stay on course will be very important to your spiritual survival. God is advancing many of you, and the enemy will come in with various situations and events to cause you to miss times of instructions and directions.

God is speaking so heavily at this time, because our assignment will play an important part in what He wants to be accomplished in the earth. He is organizing every step of our lives and bringing us to a place of obedience, where we stay our course, and complete what He has given our hands to do.

I’m enjoying this season in my life, because there is an undisturbed peace upon me, a peace that allows me to trust The LORD without any reservation, which keeps me in a secure place spiritually, allowing me to triumph over the hurdles that satan places in the way, to try and make me stumble or have a spiritual mishap.

This hour, there is no margin for wrong turns, wrong moves. We have to be sure that we are following the precise directions that God has given us. We have no time to lose, and the enemy wants to create time-wasting situations to cloud our mind and distort our spiritual vision.

Stay your course, it’s full steam ahead. The Spirit of The LORD will reveal to you the whole matter concerning the things that will try to hinder, hurt, harm, or put you in danger. This is the season of great supernatural moves of God.

He will set up times of breakthrough, times of blessings, times of performing the miraculous. He will create times of angelic intervention to help you accomplish what He has given you to do.

He will rise up for your defense against the attacks of darkness. He will not suffer you to be destroyed by the enemy. He will stand with you in your obedience. He will provide you with all that is needed for you to have success in your assignment.

You will experience some challenges, but don’t lose your focus. Continue to advance forward, continue to do what you have been chosen to do.

Chose your battles carefully in this season. Some things are only sent to make you give up, to stop you, to turn your around. Gird up, keep your armor on in this season, stand firm in adversity, and don’t be moved by circumstances.

God has you in all things and remember, The LORD promises to never leave you, nor forsake you.

Stay on the wall, don’t come down, stay strong. God is moving and you don’t want to miss what He is doing. After all, you are a part of what He is doing!

NEW DOORS REQUIRE NEW KEYS
Prophetic Word by Elaine Tavolacci

Jesus asked His disciples, saying,​ “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” They replied, some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Then He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then as Jesus answered Peter, He was actually saying (paraphrased) Peter, you have received this answer not by natural knowledge but by revelation from My father in heaven and upon this rock (revelation) I will build My church, and the gates of hell (imprisonment from the enemy through the kingdom of darkness) will not prevail against it. Then Jesus went on to say; And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Jesus was speaking metaphorically of spiritual keys. He has given these keys to us, the body of Christ. He has given us authority in His name, power to bind the works of the devil, and loose people from bo***ge. He has given us keys to heal others from sickness, unshackle those who are bound, unlock and set people free from religious traditions and tear down strongholds. Keys are small and may seem insignificant but they could open huge doors. Small keys are used to open huge vaults that contains valuable possessions, but also lock them to keep thieves out. The apostle Paul said: For​ a great and effective door has opened to me, and​ there are​ many adversaries. We need new keys when the Lord opens new doors because the old keys will no longer fit.

The Lord says, I have given you the keys to My kingdom and the authority to use My name. These keys will unlock the doors and deliver people from every kind of bo***ge. These keys will unlock shackles, set people free from all demonic oppression and release many from every affliction and stronghold. These are the keys that will set the captives free who are addicted to alcohol, drugs and po*******hy. They are keys to open the tombs and deliver those who need to be set free from religious mindsets and those who are in bo***ge to religious rituals. They will open the prison doors and deliver those from occult practices, powers of darkness, and from all the power of the enemy. I have given you the keys that will open the portals of heaven and bring revelation. These keys will also release My Glory on this earth as it is in heaven.

These are keys to the Spiritual gifts which will be used in miracles, signs and wonders in a greater dimension than you have known before. These keys will unlock the door to your destiny and as you receive My gift of the keys to the Kingdom, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. I am releasing keys in prayer and intercession that will unlock the hidden mysteries of My word. I Am He who hold’s the Key of David. When I open a door no man can shut it and when I shut a door no man could open it. I will open the eyes of your understanding on a new level as I reveal the secrets of ancient mysteries. So come before Me and receive these keys which is your inheritance as a child of God as I release them into your hands; says the Lord.

Daniel 2:22
He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.

Matthew 16:19
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

1 Corinthians 16:9​
For​ a great and effective door has opened to me, and​ there are​ many adversaries.

SUBMITTED TO THE CALL
Prophetic Word by Elaine Tavolacci

The Lord says I am calling the men and the woman who are mature in their faith to teach, nurture and be mentor's to the younger ones. I am calling those of you who know Me, know My ways and have submitted your lives to the call. I am calling those of you to train, encourage and support those who are still on milk. I am looking for those of you who have been delivered from the strongholds of the enemy to strengthen the younger ones of the next generation. Those of you who understand the battle and are ready to serve on the front lines will be strong and do great exploits.

I am calling forth the Josephs who have been put down and abused by others but have not taken offense. They have been dishonored and falsely accused but have not let go of their dreams. I will raise them up and reveal My goodness through their lives. I will use them as signs and wonders to the nations. They will be leaders and they will prosper in times of famine and teach others to do the same.

I am calling forth the Moses to raise up Joshuas. To train men how to be strong and very courageous. To train them in leadership and how to be tenacious in spiritual warfare. To teach them how to be more than conqueror's in every battle. To encourage them to pursue My plan and calling on their lives and never retreat in fiery trials.

I am calling forth the Joshua and Caleb's. They are strong and very courageous and will be leaders in My great army. They are those who have a different spirit and know that they are more than able to go in and possess the land that I have promised to them. They will always come back with a good report and never back down from the enemy. They will go forth in the battle because they know their authority over the giants in the land.

I am calling forth the Naomi's to train up the young Ruth's. The godly women who will comfort and teach the younger woman how to live a lifestyle of integrity, sincerity and respect. To teach them how to walk in humility, wisdom and honor in their relationships.

I am raising up the Samuels. Those who are called to speak as My voice to this generation. They have been marked from a young age. They will recognize My voice and are called to be prophets to the nations. They will discern false teachings and false prophets. They will walk in a life of victory because they are Spirit led and not led by their own desires. They know how to enter into the Holy of Holies, and will teach others how to enter without guilt or shame. Since the veil has been torn, they will come into this higher dimension, and they will receive the fullness of what I have for them.

I am calling forth the Elijah's to train and raise up Elishas with a double portion of their spirit. To train the prophets and teach the younger ones how to be used in the gifts that I have freely given. To show them how to follow in their footsteps and be used in miracles, signs and wonders with respect and reverence of the anointing on their lives. They are those who follow Me closely and will not deviate off the narrow path.

I am calling the Marys. They are those who are highly favored and are carriers of My glory. They are those who have said in their hearts, “be it done unto me according to thy word”. They have abandoned their lives and are impregnated with My seed. They are those who are in labor and ready to conceive. They have been overshadowed with My glory and My word dwells in them.They will produce great things as they bring forth My promises to the ends of the earth. For with Me nothing shall be impossible in their lives.

I am calling forth the Paul's who once had a different name but has been transformed. They are those who have overcome many battles. They have been delivered from the powers of darkness and will go in and rescue others. Follow them, as they follow Me and are My witnesses on this earth. They will be used greatly in miracles, signs and wonders. They will train up the young Timothy's and teach them how to pray. They will teach them how to refrain from sinful ways, and walk in the fear and admonition of the Lord. They will teach them to be strong in what they believe, fan the flames and stir up the gifts that were given to them. They will warn them against false teachings and false prophets, and to always endure hardness as good soldiers. They will encourage them, and teach them not to be ashamed of the gospel.

As you lead these young lambs, teach them how to always walk in love and keep a good conscience. Advise them on righteousness and to have clean hands and a pure heart at all times. Be an example to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Me and let the Holy Spirit be your guide. I will give you the wisdom and knowledge that is required as you submit your lives to the call says the Lord.

Mark 16:17-18
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

Romans 8:19
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Ephesians 4:11-13
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
