“For the state of California: Take teams through those wine vineyards and decree the wine for the new will be made. Break that spirit that is trying to weigh the wine down. The spirit of Mammon has entered the wine fields but I Am ready for a confrontation!
“There is a new territorial authority I am releasing to My people this hour. I have given you territorial authority within the boundaries that I have assigned to you. Don’t bow down to the enemy that would try to come and take back what he thought he owned. Know I have put keys in your hands, and these are keys that will unlock your territory. This is an hour when a new authority is being released to My people, territorial authority. See the boundaries I have assigned to you and know this is an hour to move forward and watch Me release My Glory in a new way. This is not the end -- this is the beginning of a new day for My people. “I Am re-landscaping the portion that I have given you. Watch as I design the landscape. It will be occupied with My Glory, but watch for I am re-creating the area that I’m giving you authority in. Watch Me change your territory, and you rise up in a new way. “I Am calling you to change your garment this season, for the places you will walk will need to have favor. Take off the garment of heaviness and wear favor. You’ve agreed with false humility far too long. If it is in your boundaries then it belongs to you. Wear favor this hour! The desires of My gatekeepers are being aligned. Receive the Jael anointing being put upon you so that you war for your family.” - Chuck Pierce The word Activation means "the action or process of making something active or operative." For something to be made active it has to be inactive or inoperable yet posses the potential for activation. I think about a car that has not been moved in a while and you have to go to the DMV to get a document called a "NON-OP". This means that your vehicle is non-operable or is not currently able to do what it was created to do.
It doesn't mean that you don't have the capacity or the potential to be operational, it just means that you ARE not operational. It means that you may need to have some work done that is going to set you on course for going from potential to actual reality. This current season of time, God is saying your days of sitting on the sideline are over. Your season for having ready excuses why you can't, are done. Your season of feeling too inadequate to step into what you heart tells you to do, is finished. God does not place his Spirit in dead-ends (Isaiah 55:11). God doesn't gift himself to everybody, but He does invest himself in those who are called to carry His Kingdom in the earth. He would that none should perish but all have eternal life because He did not come to condemn the world but to bring salvation (2 Pet 3:9; John 3:17). He uses willing vessels to declare his message to the lost and the spiritually dying so that they may drink from the fountain that never runs dry. Your time for playing small is over. Your time of making excuses why you cant' or haven't, is over. Your fear of failure so you don't do anything, is behind you. Your inability to draw men and women to God, is done (John 12:32). YOU ARE a soul winner, YOU ARE a Man or Woman of Prayer, YOU ARE able to declare His word. David said declared, "I WILL bless the Lord at all times and HIS praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalms 34:1). CHILD OF GOD, ACTIVATE THIS IS YOUR SEASON OF ACTIVATION!!!!!!! It is truly amazing how Jesus took offense in scripture compared to how we take offense today. I can tell you, unfortunately from personal experience, I have not taken offense the same way our Savior did.
Jesus was patient with people. He sits down to dinner with Judas and even gives him the space to go and prepare himself for the ultimate offense that he will perpetrate against Christ. Not sure how many of us would do dinner with someone we know is getting ready to set us up to be killed. Let alone, give them space and time to carry out their plan. But that is exactly what Jesus did. Jesus understand his mission and his purpose for being in the earth and understood that unless Judas did his part, Jesus couldn't do his!!!!!! But Jesus, I don't always know the why!!! Im not always privy to the inside information that would make my life easier and my yes more comfortable. What do I do when I don't know?? Easy, Don't take offense. Have faith in me. Trust me that I know what I am doing in your life. When it was time for Jesus to die the Jewish people hated him so much that they were willing to sacrifice the lives of their next generation to see Jesus dead. I don't know about you but that is some kind of angry!!!! Matthew 27:25 all the people made this declaration, "Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children." The people were caught up in such a feverious desire to have Christ killed that they were willing to sacrifice the children of their next generation to a punishment that they didn't ask for. Hatred will have you doing more damage to yourself thinking you are getting the upper hand on someone else. But Jesus was not offended. the Bible says that he did not utter a mumbling word. Jesus was a man of action. They asked for his blood, then he was going to give it to them. Not quite the way they requested but in a way that he knew they would need it. We skip over to Acts 2 and we see Peter standing with the 11 declaring the way of Salvation to the very people who called for Jesus' blood. [Act 2:22, 36-39 KJV] 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: ... 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call. What stood out to me was VERSE 39 - the fact that Jesus didn't get even, he redeemed them!!!!! "For the promise is unto you AND TO YOUR CHILDREN . . ." YOU KNOW, THE ONES YOU WERE WILLING TO CONDEMN BECAUSE OF YOUR HATRED FOR ME. Yes, I'm not offended, I won't get even, I won't look for retribution, I won't try to go eye for an eye. Not only did he redeem the offenders but he was compassionate enough to think of the next generation, those who had nothing to do with it, by giving them exactly what they their fathers asked for . . . HIS BLOOD. Connections. Everybody is trying to make them. Connections. Everyone needs them. You are not alone just because you want to be connected to something or someone. We are all striving to make connections whether it be through our jobs, in our communities, new friendships and in our faith walk.
The right connections made can have amazing results in our lives while the wrong ones will set us back. You must be careful and aware to who and what we are becoming attached to. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23 NLT "Guard your heart (mind) above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Why is it such a big deal? When you make a connection, you allow people access to who you are. Everyone who wishes to team up with you, doesn't have your best interests at heart. Some only want to know you for what you can do for them, for where you can take them, for what you can add to their project. Almost gone are the days when people would just friend you because you were good company. Far and in between do you get phone calls from friends just because they were thinking about you. Only you can guard your heart (mind), which means you have to be vigilant and on guard, having a discernment that is allows you to see motive and intent. This comes through the Spirit of God. Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." It is through God and our sensitivity to the working of His Spirit within us that allows us to see, to hear and discern what around us should be and should not be connected to us. Guard your heart. Guard your life. Guard your connections. |
