Children who prophesy. Fathers and Mothers equipped. Jews and Gentiles as one in Christ.
Children Who Prophesy
The Arrows
We shall see children who know the truth, liberated, healed, and moving in their full God-ordained potential, body, soul, and spirit.
God is bringing forth children who are the Psalm 127 arrows that strike down the enemy, who carry the fear of the LORD, are skilled and knowledgable in the Word of God, and walk in the fulfillment of Joel 2, that declares, “your sons and your daughters shall prophecy”. This is the Word of the Lord regarding this generation of end times children.
Psalm 127:4-5
“Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”
Joel 2:28-29
“And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit.”
There is a raging spiritual war against our children. From the moment of their conception, the enemy has worked to stop their voice: from abortion to autism, from depression to suicide, from infiltration of perversion to abuse, from chemical bombardment to disease. The enemy hates their voice and has used any and all opportunity to prevent them from speaking for fear of their authority in Christ. Psalm 8 tells us that a child’s voice, even a babies coos, is a strong counter-attack mechanism that silences the works of the enemy.
Psalm 8:2
“Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.”
We decree that in this hour, God is restoring children’s voices! For many children, this will be a physical healing in their body and in their soul, their mind, will, and emotions. Healing then flows into greater liberty where God is restoring them in the power and authority of the Spirit.
Children who walk in the authority of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit are arising!
Our sons and daughters shall prophesy! We decree this promise of the new covenant over every child.
Fathers and Mothers Equipped
The Warriors
We believe in strong fathers and mothers who know their identity as sons and daughters of God and their role as a royal priesthood, who are filled with fire and the Holy Spirit, bloodline breakers who have been delivered and set free by the blood of the Lamb, and willing to turn the world upside down for Jesus. These men and women of God will be ready to take on the most significant call of their life: raising children. Malachi 2 reveals the goal of marriage that many overlook today: to produce godly offspring.
Malachi 2:15
“Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union?And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring.”
Our children are not just the bedrock of our own personal legacy, but the legacy of the church, which belongs to Jesus, the reward of His suffering. As we enter into the last hours of the last days, our children must be ready to face increasing darkness and increasing glory as the Day Of The Lord rapidly approaches. God is raising up an army of parents who are spiritually equipped to take on this task with eyes fixed on their eternal reward, Jesus, who are not looking to fit in and pass their time with ease, but who have courage to stand out, be uncomfortable, live boldly, and carve out a path as pioneers.
In Psalm 127, it is the skilled warrior who sends out the arrow of his children. Mothers and the fathers are the warriors of Psalm 127!
Within each child are gifts and callings unto God that parents are to discover, identify, protect, and foster. These gifts and callings are what will be used by the Lord for their unique destiny. Helping our children to discover who they are in Christ, while cultivating their gifting is how we launch the arrow! Each arrow will take its own path, its own arc, to strike the enemy. We must be ready to send out every arrow to the best of our ability.
Ephesians 6 and Psalm 144, encourage us to be battle ready by putting on the full armor of God and allowing the Lord to train us for war against spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. We shall see parents trained to fight and stand against the enemy, who are training their children to do the same.
Psalm 144: 1
“Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;”
Ephesians 6:10-13
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. “
We are the parents who will raise children to see the book of Acts lived out at the hands of their own Mother, Father, brothers, and sisters. The consecrated family will become the well of revival that bring the fire and glory of Jesus to the world, restoring the church to her original, rightful mission: to bring good news to the poor, to bind the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to open the prison of those bound, and decree the year of the Lord’s favor.
Isaiah 61:1-3
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.”
Jews and Gentiles as One in Christ
The New Man
Before Jesus returns, we shall see something amazing come to pass that has yet to be: the salvation of Israel. When this happens, Jews and Gentiles will become one “new man” as described in Ephesians 2. This new man will become the ultimate testimony to the world that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus expressed this radical idea, that Jews and Gentiles will “become perfectly one”, to his disciples in the upper room ahead of His death in John 17.
Ephesians 2:15-22
“…that he [Jesus] might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off [Gentiles] and peace to those who were near [Jews]. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens [Gentiles], but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God [Jews], built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together [Jews and Gentiles] into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”
John 17: 20-23
“I do not ask for these only [Jews], but also for those who will believe in me through their word [Jews and Gentiles], that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.”
As Gentiles we are to join the Jews and become one with Israel. Scripture uses a picture of two olive trees to help us understand God’s distinct path of redemption for Jews and Gentiles. Israel is the cultivated olive tree of God. The natural branches are the Jews while the Gentiles belong to a wild olive tree. Romans 11 tells us that God broke off some of natural branches from the cultivated olive tree so that chosen wild olive branches could be grafted in. This means there are two branches, natural and wild branches, speaking of Jews and Gentiles, joined together into one tree, Israel, with the root being Jesus.
We are to become one tree, one new man, one in Christ.
It is not simply enough to recognize that Jesus was Jewish and learn a few Hebrew words. No, God is inviting the Gentiles to be grafted in to Israel: to love Israel and the Jews, to go to the land that will become our eternal home, New Jerusalem, and to be a sign and wonder to the Jews bringing the message of salvation to the people as stated in Isaiah 56, 60, and 61.
While many christians today see their position in Christ as replacing the Jews as God’s chosen people since the Jews rejected the Messiah, scripture teaches that Jews and Gentiles each have a place in the plans of God and that God is not done with His chosen people. Romans 11 teaches that the promises and callings of God are “irrevocable”, and we know that God has promised salvation to the Jews. He will bring it to come to pass!
Zechariah 4:12-14
“…“What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the golden oil is poured out?” He said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.” Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones [Jew and Gentile in Christ] who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.””
Romans 11:24-27; 29-32
“For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree [Gentiles], and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree [Israel], how much more will these, the natural branches [Jews], be grafted back into their own olive tree. Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
“and this will be my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”
…For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable [speaking of God’s promises of salvation to Israel]. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.”
God has charged His adopted children to be grafted in to Israel that the “new man” may come forth as the last assignment of the church before the end of the age comes!
