UC Berkeley: The Bear is Awakening!

This past weekend I was at UC Berkeley for a historic prayer meeting in which about a hundred students, representing about a dozen campuses, gathered to contend for revival at Berkeley. UC Berkeley is the crown jewel of the UC (University of California) system and has affected culture more than any other campus in the western United States. Berkeley is truly a culture shaper and what happens at Berkeley ripples across North America and, from there, the nations of the world.

The sleeping bear that is Berkeley is waking up and will rise up with Kingdom power within its veins. The spirit of apathy is being broken off. The chains that are over Berkeley will be broken and I see thousands casting their chains at the feet of Jesus. We are entering into a time of Jubilee in which things are going to be returned to their rightful owners.

There has always been a war fought over Berkeley for it has been ordained as a culture shaper. Those who hold the keys of Berkeley will choose how it effects the culture of our nation. The enemy has dispatched hundreds of his agents to war against the Kingdom of God so that he might remain in control of the land. I saw the satanists and witches around the campus and I was there for only a few hours. I could sense in the spirit that there were literally hundreds of people engaging in witchcraft and the occult. These agents of darkness are trying to oppose what God is doing on that campus.

We are going to see dozens of bears arise in the midst of Berkeley. These bears are going to devour the agents of darkness and chase them from the land. Some agents will actually be taken out (by them losing their lives) as a result of angelic judgement. Other agents are going to flee the land in confusion and despair. There are going to be others who will repent and come to Christ. I see hundreds of bears arising with holy vindication in the hearts. Many of these bears are going to be intercessors. There are going to be even more angelic bears. As the prayer movement continues to advance they will marshall an angelic response to their prayers.

The Lord is releasing His refined gold to the saints at Berkeley. His glory is being carried by them and will be released in magnificent wonder. Berkeley will carry the glory of God and be a revealer of His character to the nations of the earth.

I see a new speech movement arising upon the campus of Berkeley that will once again touch the nations of the world. This time it's not going to be a sound of rebellion- it's going to be a Kingdom speech movement. I see apostles, prophets, and evangelists arising upon the campus to release the word of the Lord. There will be massive moves of salvations in the open spaces of Berkeley. There will be prophets who will reveal the power of God through signs and wonders. Apostles will stand and establish new movements and expressions of the Kingdom.

God has sounded the alarm! He has released His sound and has called forth a new movement upon His favored campus of Berkeley. This year we will see the stirrings of the bear and in the coming two years we will see the bear demonstrate the power of the Kingdom. God's glory will come to Berkeley!

The Invitation of the Open Door

God has placed an open door before His people. There are corporate doors and there are individual doors for our lives. On the other side of these doors can be found the land of opportunity. But before we can see our opportunity we must first press through the open doors. Some of us have glimpses of our promised land but there are others who have no idea what their promised land is. All that we know is that there is a land of promise on the other side of that door that we must enter into.

In the past we often had to discern whether a particular door was within God's will or not. But I say right now that every open door is God's will. There are no bad doors. There are good doors and even better doors before you. God will make it plain which door you are meant to enter into. There will be no doubt in your mind and there will be an intense clarity as you choose which door to enter into.

God is giving His people an invitation to press through these doors as we leave this current season and enter into the manifestations of destiny. No longer will we languish in hope deferred. We must press through the door of promise and enter into the land of our opportunity. Once we press through the door we will see the promised land laid out before us as Moses did upon the mountain.

Before we can enter into the doors placed before us we must let go of those things that are encumbering us. There are mindsets, habits, and bondages that will keep us from entering through those doors. These things will keep us from entering fully into the land of our opportunity. We must leave these things in the current season and not take them with us. If we try to hold onto these things then we risk becoming misaligned in the land of the promise.

The land of the promise is one that must be conquered. It took the Israelites generations to take their promised land fully and yet even then they didn't remove the pagans from their land and rule it fully. This was because they were misaligned. They allowed themselves to become compromised. We must consecrate ourselves fully in order to take full possession of the promises of God. If we try to take full possession, without full consecration, then we will fall as the Israelites did.

We can't conquer the Kingdom of Darkness if we are aligned with what it stands for. We can't fully advance the Kingdom of Heaven when parts of us wish we were in the world. We can't burn with the fullness of Heaven's glory when parts of our hearts belong to the spirit of the world. We must allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to us those things that need to be purged from us and we must circumcise our hearts at this time.

This is not to say we must be perfect and without sin. All of us are with sin. And all of us have been made perfect by the blood of Christ. When the Father looks upon us He sees us without sin for the righteousness of Christ covers us. This is about what we choose to align ourselves with. The Israelites were not condemned for their sin (it was covered by the lamb of the atonement)- they were condemned by their idolatry. We must not allow ourselves to be aligned with the spirit of the world. We must not allow ourselves to be ruled by darkness but we must be ruled by the Holy Spirit. The days of the compromised middle are over- no longer can we waffle between two opinions. We must serve God and God alone!

This is the time of the open door and the land of the promise. It is time to cross over and to take possesion of what God has given you. Now is the time to walk into your destiny and to make it yours. Don't allow yourself to put it off any longer but press through that door!

September: A Final Push

At the end of 2008 God gave me a blueprint of the next several years and what He was going to be accomplishing within His Church. We are in an era of preparation as God is raising up His end-time generals who will lead His end-time Church.
2008 was a year of new beginnings and open gates for God's people to step into their identity and anointings.
2009 was a year of transition from those beginnings into a new natural order.
2010 was a year of establishment as the Church was put into order to receive what God has for us.
2011 was another transition between the natural order into a new governmental order.
2012 was a year of apostolic government as God established His apostles and released a greater authority into His Church.

Back in 2008 I was filled with excitement about 2012 but I had a holy fear of what was to come in 2013. I knew it wouldn't be good. I saw it as a year of rebellion and backlash against all that God was going to do in 2012. I didn't know what it would look like but I saw it as a year of all out war against the apostolic structure. As 2012 unfolded I was able to obtain greater clarity of what 2013 would bring. Much of what we are currently experiencing is the wrath of the enemy as he is desperately trying to cut off the apostolic structure. We are in the midst of a war as the religious spirit is speaking death over us. We must arise and speak life over ourselves. To read more about this confrontation go and read my word for 2013.

2014 is a year of rest and rebuilding. It is a foundational year as we prepare for a new era. 2014 is the floor of the coming apostolic age that is to come. I will be releasing more about 2014 in the months to come but I see it as a year of refreshment and divine rest as we emerge from the current war for the hearts of God's people. There is a coming war over the Church but right now there is a war being fought over the hearts and minds of those who have been called to lead the end-time move of God on the earth.

Right now we are in a season of refinement and purification. God is revealing those things that cannot remain in our lives any longer. This is a time of Babylon's influence being exposed. God is showing us the lies that we have bought into and improper mindsets that we have adopted. Daniel was able to stand pure in the midst of Babylon because Babylon wasn't within him. If we are to take the mountains of culture then we need to walk in a powerful measure of purity. We are in a time when the compromised middle will be impossible. Either Babylon will claim us or we will be instruments of righteousness within the Kingdom of God. 

Recently the Lord showed me that He is clearing the ceiling of 2013. He is clearing the air of all impurity and mixture. He is calling us to a higher level. But there is no limit to the ceiling. We are in a time where God is calling us to go higher than we ever have before. The ceiling of 2013 will determine the floor of the coming era. God is calling us into a season of consecration and contending for these last few months of 2013. We get to choose how high we will go in this current season. The floor of 2014 will be where the ceiling of 2013 is made. 

For the past week I have been pressing into what God is saying about 2014 and the next few years. I have been asking the Lord to give me His blueprint as He did before. I found myself saying that we were ending one cycle and entering into another season but I realized that this wasn't accurate. We are entering into a new era of the Church. I believe that the Church will never be the same again. We are going to see the emergence of the victorious end-time Church.

Both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur fall within the month of September this year. This is the holiest time within the Jewish calendar. This coming Hebraic year is one of the "door." I believe that there is an open door that God is calling us into. This is a time where we are meant to grab ahold of our destiny. We are to grab ahold of the angel of the Lord, as Jacob did, and not let go until we receive a blessing. No longer will we allow ourselves to look forward to destiny but we will walk our destiny out. This is the time of fulfilled promises as we are in the midst of a wrestling match of sorts. We are wrestling with God as we are coming into alignment with our purpose.

God has been reawakening past dreams and longings within your heart. Take advantage of this season. Ask the Lord for increased revelation. Ask the Lord to give you dreams and visions of your destiny. Don't allow others to define you but allow yourself to be defined by the Spirit of the living God! We have been created in His likeness to live according to His character. Push past rejection, self-doubt, disqualification, and the lies of the enemy. Enter into the garden of the promise as God reveals Himself to you. It is within the heart of God that we discover our purpose.

This is the time of revelation!
