Allowing the Rivers to Flow! Pastors, Release the Body to be the Body!

As a Senior Pastor of a local church, I have become convinced that revival is upon us!
In times of prayer over the last few weeks, I feel the Lord has led me to a couple of keys we really need to get a hold of to move to the next level of His plans and purposes for us. I will attempt to briefly share a little bit here that I pray will enable us all to move deeper into the destiny He has for His church in these times.
A good friend asked me a question recently: "How do you pastor a church in revival? Just get out of the way and let God move?" I think the answer to that question would be yes, but it looks a little different than what most might think.
Many have a picture in their head as to what that might look like. I have found that most believe that God will just move upon the people. Well... there are often times in His glory where all are impacted and all can feel the tangible and manifest presence of God. Miracles, signs and wonders occur and Jesus is glorified. It is at this point that the church, the children of God, can receive a massive outpouring of God's love and fire. This is the beginning!
Then something else happens, and this is the critical and key point where revival usually gets quenched and squashed out. This is where God is currently causing a massive shift in how we think. Filled with this new wine, the children of God begin to allow the living waters to flow freely through them. As foretold in Scripture, the Holy Spirit is poured out on all flesh and they begin to give freely of what they have received. In fear of losing control of our services and offending men, leaders usually at this point, begin to control what is shared through the body. I believe that there is a prevalent belief in the church that if God wants to do something, He will do it through the pastor or leadership only.
It is my belief that a primary role of the pastor or shepherd is to help guide the children of God into all He has for them when it comes to allowing His kingdom to be manifest through them. How sad when many times we shut off the very fountains and wells of revival that we have been crying out for! We must let the Spirit of God manifest in all His glory and creativity through everyone.
Prophetic words cannot be contained anymore! We need the life and encouragement they bring. The annointing to heal cannot be contained and limited only to a pastor who may or may not be anointed to heal like someone else in the church. Paintings must be painted and songs must be written, sung and released! Dancers must dance! I am convinced that a generation of believers has sat dormant in the church and is in danger of going to the grave carrying a seed that could have been something amazingly beautiful. Arise! Now is the time to believe again! Now is the time to come of of the shelf and step into your divine destiny as a child of the king! As you release Him you worship Him and bring Him joy!
Many cry out for a move of God that is already released. When the power of God begins to move through the body of Christ, we have quickly tried to regulate it. Think about the sheer arrogance of that! We, as mere men, trying to make God's order and agenda bend to our own. We create cute little 2 hour meetings where the Spirit of God is usually given some time at the end of what we call "worship" and then maybe at the end of the service. Why can't we give Him the entire service? Let's lay our agendas down! Who are we afraid of offending?

Another area where I feel the Holy Spirit is showing me that we must change is our tenacity and will to keep moving forward into His presence and to carry the battle for our families, cities, regions and nations forward. Why do we stop when the enemy is on the run? Many cry out for revival in their cities and churches, have a couple of meetings and quit. They mistakenly think it will be easy, but battles must be fought to take the land. Your Father has given you the victory, but we must stay on the offensive.
This week I had a dream where an angel came to me. I asked his name and he told me his name was Hammer. I knew that he had been sent by the Lord to help us keep "hammering" away at the strongholds and walls in our city. We must keep hammering until the walls come down. This requires sacrifice, time and effort. Sometimes we will have meetings every night. Sometimes we will pray and release the kingdom of heaven to the hungry until midnight or later. How do you feel about that? Is it important to you? Enough to sacrifice your sleep, your personal time, and a lot of "fun" things that you would rather be doing? What is the Father doing tonight? Could He use you? What would He have you do? Whay settle for the status quo? Why wait? The Holy Spirit is poured out and you carry Him inside you right now!
I believe Father is waking this generation up to the truth that the harvest is now! Revival is in you! Release it! If you cannot release it in your church, release it n the street! Find a place that will allow you to be who God has made you to be! You are not meant to be a stagnant pool of water, but rivers of living water are to flow through you now! Let the river out! You are a conduit of the Holy Spirit! As a pastor and minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I release you to go and take His kingdom. Jesus Himself has already commanded you to go. If you do not know what to do, contact me personally and I will help get you going.
Once you get moving, never stop. Go, go, go! Keep doing what He told us to do. Love him with all you have and all you are and love others with that love by declaring that the kingdom is at hand and then demonstrating that kingdom.
Where you go, the Holy Spirit goes too!

400 Years And Now We Enter The Promise!

Recently, the Lord has been speaking to me alot about the importance of His timing. I believe we are living in a strategic kairos moment. A special time in history where the reality of this world is aligning with the superior reality of the kingdom of heaven.
Across the nation we see churches springing to life and in areas where there has been spiritual dryness; we are beginning to see the river spring forth! These truly are exciting times!
Here in the Williamsburg/Jamestown area, the very womb of our nation, there is a special significance on the period of approximately 400 years since the founding of our nation less than 6 miles from our church at Jamestown. I believe the Lord has shown me in times of prayer that just as the nation of Israel waited in bondage for 400 years in Egypt, so has the church in America waited for 400 years with a great promise.
From time to time great prophetic words have been spoken over our region and in our nation concerning a great move of God in our generation. Those of us with eyes to see know we are now in the beginnings of this time. For this is what I hear the Lord saying to the church in America...
Move now! Arise for your time has arrived! 400 years ago I planted a people here, a people pregnant with My promise. A nation of sons and daughters with legal right to a royal inheritance. And now, after 400 years of gestation and preparation, the world is ready, this nation is ready. Indeed all creation is awaiting the revelation of this generation who know their true identity.
I have purposed for this land to see My glory like never imagined and now is the time says the Lord. Look out over the land and see that it is good and I have given it to you. You have asked and I have given the nations to you as an inheritance. For America, the time has come and My glory shall be hidden no longer. The world will say that surely there is a Living God in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the United States. Greensprings is a place of my glory, a place where My presence is forever tangible, and a portal to heaven itself.
My glory is here! I am pleased that you have prepared a place for My glory to dwell and abide with you. Continue to allow freedom to worship Me in Spirit and in Truth. Do not restrict the move of My Spirit, believe and you will see the glory of God.
I have sent the fire upon the ancient altar, I have poured out My Spirit. I have let loose the waters of the ancient wells. Angels that have awaited this time are awakening to the dawn of this glorious day for America. This is My time. The time of My kingdom being built and established.
My generals are awakening from their slumber and realizing that they have hosts to command. Arise and go! March on the cities and experience the goodness of divine destiny and the victory that belongs to the Lord!
Move my children, move into My purpose for you. Heaven is being revealed through you now. The season for sowing is closing. Harvest is now! I have heard the cries of my children in bondage. Arise, take the spoils and come worship Me. Then continue your march and take the land I promised to your fathers. I have not forgotten My promises.
This move will never end and all of heaven is rejoicing as it begins. Angelic activity is increasing all over the earth. In your church you have seen the increase and I am sending them as they hear the sound I am releasing through you My children. I have sent them to minister to this generation and assist you. The armies of heaven and My armies on the earth shall merge in this time to carry out My plans.
As you simply speak in unison about what I am doing, about what you are seeing in the kingdom, My voice will be so loud through you, that all will look on in amazement as the reality of Jesus is revealed!
