Flood Gates Of Promise

FLOOD GATES OF PROMISE

 
There are times and seasons in the Spirit when prophetic words and promises are stored up. We are currently in one of those periods right now. There are many prophetic words being released in this hour, but the fruit of those words remain yet to be seen. On the other hand, we are seeing other prophetic words rapidly coming into fruition. Some words were spoken months and years back, while others are occurring just as fast as they are being released.
.
 There are various examples in scripture of such activity. The life of Joseph depicts a period in history when the leaders of that day were instructed to store up grain for a time of great famine. The grain that was being stored away was not to be released until an appointed time. It’s important to note the great importance of acting on the revelation of today for the fruit of tomorrow. Depending on your circle of spiritual fellowship, you can easily take prophecy or prophetic revelation for granted. This type of mind will cause you to turn a deaf ear toward the knowledge of God for the future, thus keeping you from embracing or acting on the glory and power of it today.
 
 1 Thessalonians 5:20 says it like this; “Do not despise prophecies.” which means, there are times when you will be tempted to write off knowledge or inspiration of God about the future, as being nothing. This is not the time to give up on the promises of God for your life. This is the time to embrace them by faith. The circumstances of life are trying to persuade many in the body of Christ that the gates of promise have been closed, but that is contrary to the word of the Lord. Now is the time to bring to remembrance that “He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” Eph3:20.
 
  Abundant life is released according to the power that is working in us. The power of God works. The power of God works in us. The power of God works in us because we are the habitation of God’s love, glory and power in the earth. Therefore, we must continue to live in Him, move in Him and have our being in Him.  
 
RESERVOIRS OF KNOWLEDGE
 
 Just recently the Lord showed me reservoirs of knowledge that had been stored up. This knowledge was being stored up behind the walls of an enormous dam. This huge dam was not the dam of the enemy, but a dam of spiritual authority and power in the kingdom of God. This spiritual dam was designed by God to preserve kingdom knowledge that was destined to be released at an appointed time in the future. This dam had huge water gates just like you would see on any other dam, but much wider and higher. These spiritual water gates were being guarded by angelic forces. These angelic beings were the guardians of the gates of kingdom knowledge and authority that was incrementally being released upon the earth right now.
 
Ezekiel prophesied of a time when the Glory of God would fill His temple, then the house of Israel. In a vision, he saw the glory of God coming from the east gate like the sound of many waters. Ezekiel was then lifted up into the inner court of the Spirit realm and there, he witnessed the Lord filling His temple. Ezek 43:2, 4-5
 
The Hebrew meaning of the “east gate” (qadmowniy and shaar) is an ancient door or opening in the Spirit. When Ezekiel saw the glory of the Lord coming from the east, he saw the glory of the Lord coming from the beginning of time, the ancient of days.
 
 In a vision, Daniel saw a horn making war against the saints and prevailing against them. Thereafter, Ancient of Days came and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High. In that moment he saw the saints of God possessing the kingdom. Dan 7:21-22
 
 While speaking to Peter, Jesus said, “I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” In that moment Jesus was prophetically declaring that the Ancient of Days had now come and that the power of revelation, the voice of God, which was flowing out of Peter, would now possess the kingdoms of the world. 
 
OPEN THE GATES
 
Proverbs 10:14 reads: Wise people store up knowledge, but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
 
 The pharse “store up” comes from the Hebrew “tsaphan” which means to protect or keep secret like you would a hidden treasure. The wisdom of God has been growing at an accelerated rate in the hearts and minds of His people. These masses of people represent the dam that contains the knowledge of God’s Spirit. The gates represent the hearts of humanity that have been feasting on the knowledge of the Ancient of Days.
 
John writes:
 
 “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." John 7:37-38
 
 We prepare for one the greatest outpourings the world has ever seen, because we will be the greatest outpouring in the earth. We are the temples of the Lord in this hour, the eternal temple that Ezekiel saw in his day. We are the judgment of God against powers and principalities for this time as seen by Daniel; favored by God to inhabit every kingdom in the earth.
 
 Every treasure in the earth and above the earth is destined to be discovered at a point and time in history. The concealment of that treasure is not because God doesn’t want the people to have it or to find it now, it’s because they are not relationally positioned in the Spirit to lay hold of it now. However, the body of Christ is well on its way to entering into that place in the Spirit where they will drink of the sound of many waters. The sound of those waters is nothing less than the ancient knowledge and voice of God stirring the hearts and minds of His people. When fully released, those hidden treasures of living waters will flow out of this generation with such force that their children’s children will be impacted with the knowledge and power God’s glorious kingdom. Thus the words of David when he sang unto the Lord:
 
“With Your hand from men, O LORD, from men of the world who have their portion in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, and leave the rest of their possession for their babes.” Ps 17:14
 
YOUR TRANSITION HAS BEGUN
 
 Your transition has begun. Many water gates of the Spirit have been released. Get ready for unusual avalanches occurring all over in the world, for we are about to witness a transitional avalanche in every kingdom of this world. From church government, to science, education, sports, entertainment etc…transitions have begun. The government of this nation and other nations of the world are about to experience an unprecedented shift in government. The government in the church is about to experience a complete makeover. Hollywood is being invaded and doesn’t even know it yet, but it will. For there are major transitions occurring right now with directors, writers, actors and actresses.
 
Many of you are about to enter into fields of opportunities that you never dreamed possible. I was recently with my brother Craig who is an EMT for a regional ambulance company, among other things. He informed me that he was going to leave next week to travel around the world on a 1.2 billion dollar 240ft yacht. He was offered a job as a computer technician to help operate certain functions of this enormous vessel. My first thought was, “Wow!” This is it! This is that unusual transitional realm the Lord was speaking to me about. Like my brother Craig, many of you will suddenly find yourself functioning in an entirely new field of business or ministry. It might not be a billion dollar yacht or even a trip to the moon, it might be the same field of work you are doing now, but you can be certain of this, it will be at a whole new level of function and influence.
 
 Don’t be concerned if you feel like your world is coming to an end. You can’t have a new beginning without an ending. God is transitioning us into a whole new world of faith and purpose. We are going from purpose to purpose, from destiny to destiny, from glory to glory. Even as I write this word of encouragement, someone is transitioning from Potiphar’s house to Pharaoh’s court. A businessman has lost a faithful cliental, only to discover a fresh new door of opportunity awaiting him. A marriage has seemingly been shattered, but now there’s a chain of unusual events taking place, and with them the promise of a new life. 
 
 Everything the world needs, you have. Everything that pertains to life is in you. The beginning of everything that you have ever hoped for in God comes from delighting Him. Not only are you the reservoir of God’s love in the earth, you are the gate that releases that same love for all to see and know.

Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.
Ps 24:9-10
