The top five posts of 2012

As 2012 draws to an end I thought I would do a post with the top five most viewed posts from this past year.

Honorable Mention The Danielles are Arising 
This post is from this past month but has gotten a lot of attention over the past two weeks. I truly believe it is a 
Kairos word as God is moving mightily among the women of our generation.

5. From Porn Valley to Purity Valley
A brief word about how God is reforming the San Fernando Valley from the porn capital of the world to the purity capital of the world. I always get a kick out of the search terms that get people onto the post. I usually get a few people each week who are not looking for anything within the prophetic realm but something a lot more worldly.

4. Did God really tell me who I'm supposed to marry?
This was the second part of a three part series about how to wait and discern God's will for your future spouse. It was quite popular and got a lot of dialogue going.

3. Lessons from Isaac & Rebecca
The first part of my series on waiting for God's best.

2. The End of Lack & Hope Deferred
A recent word about how God is ending the draught that has been over many of our lives and realms of influence. A new season is truly upon us.

1. The Anointing of Esther
This post about Esther and her influence today got a lot of traffic towards the beginning of the year during the time of the Esther Call. God is truly raising up His Esthers. A great encouragement for all of us- both men and women.

The Coming Transference of Wealth

When Israel left Egypt they left with great amounts of gold and other forms of wealth. The Egyptians were so relieved to see them leave that they willingly gave their own personal jewelry. It was this wealth that was later used to build the vessels of the tabernacle. We see this again when the Israelites left Babylon- Cyrus gave them great wealth to rebuild the temple. When God's people break free from the pagan structure there is a great transfer of wealth that follows. This wealth is to be used both for the blessing of God's people and the building of God's house.

This year is going to bring a manifestation of the apostolic reformation. The apostles are going to be fighting against the religious spirit for the heart of the Church. For too long God's people have remained under the influence of the Jezebelic structure. Freedom is coming. The apostles will continue to wage war against this religious/Jezebelic structure. The Church must break free from this pagan influence. As we break free we will see a great transference of wealth.

God has called His people to be conduits of wealth. The Jewish people have always understood that wealth comes to the righteous. The Church has labored under the false delusion that wealth is somehow bad. God has called His people to bring all things into Kingdom dominion- this includes the wealth of the world. The most righteous men of the Old Testament were ones of great wealth. Abraham had several hundred fighting men on his payroll along with his great herds. We see examples such as Lydia, Theophilus, and Joseph of Arimathia in the New Testament as Kingdom people who bore wealth and influence.

God desires to raise up those who will not allow wealth, or the lack thereof, to control them. Instead they will control wealth as a Kingdom resource. In this coming age we will see many within the Church become millionaires and millionaires become billionaires. These stewards of wealth are those who pursue the face of God and His Kingdom above all else. The purpose of this wealth is to build God's house. The purpose of this wealth is to prepare a habitation for Him and to make His name great. I believe that much wealth will come to the prayer movement. We are going to see many more houses of prayer and presence arise throughout the earth. We will also see the houses of prayer start to truly administer and implement great programs of societal change. The houses of prayer will become the the epicenters of their cities as they take possesion of the spiritual gates.

But this transference of wealth all begins with the Church breaking free from the control of Jezebel. We have come under her spell and allowed ourselves to live underneath her structure. The Church must come back to the culture of the Kingdom and leave religiousity behind. We have to stop revisiting the false comfort of religious bondage every time we start to break free. We are like the Israelites who cried out for Egypt while they wandered the desert. We have to come into the fulness of our Kingdom identity and come into proper governmental alignment. When we do this we will see a transference of wealth the likes of which has not been seen since Solomon.

End of Year Partnership Needs

Can you believe 2012 is almost over? I can't believe it either... January 2012 seems like such a short time ago, yet so much has happened in this past year. In my last newsletter I gave an overview of everything that I am currently doing as a staff member with Radiance International Ministries. You can click over here to read it if you haven't already.

A few highlights of this past year:

I was able to be a part of the intercession team for TheCry Hollywood in which thousands of Christians from across the world gathered, in the Gibson Amphitheater, at Universal Studios to pray and bless Hollywood. This was a powerful time in which we cried out for Hollywood's true destiny to come forth and to repent, on behalf of the Church, abandoning our call to stand with Hollywood. The community of Hollywood was originally founded by a Christian to be an oasis of purity and the early filmmakers reflected Judeo-Christian values. God is calling Hollywood back to be that star to the nations and reveal His glory throughout the earth.

I was also part of the Saigu Campaign commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the LA riots. This was a great opportunity and I believe that we had some breakthrough as communities came together and attempted reconciliation.

This summer we had our very first training school here at the house of prayer and we had over 30 students gather for an intensive six week internship. We are still hearing testimonies of the breakthrough and equipping that we received during those six weeks.

In September we had our annual student summit for Movement 133. Over ninety students from about twenty different schools all gathered for a time of strategy and vision casting as we sought God's will for this school year. This is truly the year of the campus and we are seeing great things happen. Schools that never had a solid prayer meeting now have over a dozen students gathering weekly to pray and seek spiritual breakthrough on their campus. Other schools are seeing the fruit of years of intercession after not experiencing anything. Students are being delivered from demonic influences, others are coming to Christ for the first time. There is a mighty stirring on the campuses and this is just the beginning of the beginning.

Here in Hollywood we are seeing more and more singers, artists, musicians, and dancers coming into the house of prayer. All of the creative arts are now being expressed and used to bring the Lord worship and honor here in His house. We will be having a worship and creative arts school this January thru February to invest into the creatives within our city. I am blown away by seeing the creatives come into our house and to see their hearts. God is truly raising up a new breed of those who put God first and care nothing about their own glory.

God is doing great things and 2013 will be even better. My ministry is only possible due to the financial partnership with people like you. Would you please prayerfully consider partnering with me with an end of year tax deductible gift? I am also in need of those who can commit to a monthly partnership as well. And most of all, I covet your prayers.

One-time Needs
The end of the year gives many the opportunity to sow one time gifts for tax purposes. I am in need of approximately $3300 to cover end of year expenses as well as some other expenses so that I might start 2013 in the black. I am also trying to raise an additional amount of approximately $1000 to fund several ministry trips that I hope to make during 2013.

Other needs:
-Full-size foam mattress topper
-Gas cards
-Gift cards to Target, Ross, Amazon,
-External USB hard drive (one that doesn't require a power cable)

My mailing address is:
Matthew Prewett
PO Box 3693
Hollywood, CA 90078

If you wish your gift to be tax-deductible then please make your check out to Radiance International and put my name in the memo line. If you wish to give via credit card then you can go to our website and use our paypal link. Please put my name in the special instructions so that it will be directed towards me. If you would prefer for our accountant to contact you to run your card then please forward me your contact info so that I might have our accountant get in contact with you.


Monthly Partnership
As a full-time missionary, monthly partners enable me to focus on my ministry. I currently have a part-time sales job to supplement my income which helps but is challenging at the same time due to the amount of time I spend in ministry. Monthly partnerships enable me to better budget as well as maximize the time I spend in the prayer room, on the campus, and other ministry endeavors. Would you consider making a monthly commitment of $25, $50, $100 or any other amount? Most of my partners choose to have an automatic debit utilizing their credit card or checking account. If you can partner with me in this way then please reply to me and I can reply with logistics to set up monthly giving. All donations are completely tax-deductible.

The Danielles are Arising

God is raising up the spirit of Daniel and releasing it upon a generation of women. They are those who the world has marginalized and the religious church has disqualified. These women have been hidden in obscurity but the Lord has marked them for greatness. Daniel had to go through great horror before being exalted. Taken from his home, his identity as a man and a Jew was taken from him, his position as a noble was removed, but he never forgot who he was. The Danielles are those women who have suffered greatly but never forgot who they were in God. They have refused to let the world define them but have cried out that only God will be their judge.

This is their time! This is the time of the Danielles. God is calling for them to arise in victory and in power. God has heard their cries and He says that enough is enough. The time of victory and vindication is here. The Lord will judge their enemies and those who have come against them as He judged those who threw Daniel into the den of the lions.

Cry out for your moment. Cry out for a time of revealing. Daniel was faithfully hidden until it was his time. The Lord is going to give His Danielles solutions to problems. He will give them answers to riddles. He will pour out His wisdom upon them so that those around them will seek them out. The time of exaltation and the time to rule is here! No longer will the spirit of Danielle be held in captivity and bondage. No longer will the enemy torment the prophetic anointing within. The time of rising up is here!

The End of Lack & Hope Deferred

God is shifting things into place so that true apostolic government might be established. For many of God's people these last two months have been frustrating to say the least. Things have seemed as if they were at a standstill. It may have even appeared as if things have gone backwards. Much of this is the enemy attacking God's people with the spirit of discouragement. You are not alone. God loves you and you have His approval. His promises are not dead!

The spirit of discouragement will lie to you that God's promises have been cut off. The enemy will point out your shortcomings and say that you have destroyed the power of God's blessing in your life. That is an utter lie! We are coming out of a time of delay and God is on the move. It is as when Daniel was praying and the angel Gabriel was delayed because of the prince of Persia. The enemy has been standing in the way of your blessing- it has not been you. We are at the threshold of the shift!

I declare right now that the draught in your life is over. The time of hope deferred is no longer. Now is the time to violently grab ahold of the promises of God over your life. God is calling us to partner with Him in seeing them come to pass. Start declaring the Lord's goodness over your life. Start declaring His truth and faithfulness over your circumstance. Repeat the promises that you have so that you will not forget them. The enemy has stood between you and your blessing- he has stood between you and your breakthrough. But I say right now that the angels of the Lord are coming against the blockages in your life. You are an overcomer and as you prophecy to your circumstances you will see them shift

The time of spiritual winter is over. The enemy has tried to place us in the place of dormancy and lethargy but we are on the cusp of breakthrough. We are at the threshold and are about to step into the greatest move of God that the earth has ever seen. Believe in the power of God to shift your circumstances and bring victory in your life. This is a time for extravagant giving so that you might be the recipient of extravagance. Now is the time to unlock the provision that God has stored up for you. The Lord our God has said that enough is enough and He is coming against those things that have attacked you and have tried to rob you of your destiny. This is the time of violence as the Spirit of the Lord rises up and passes judgement against your adversaries.

Winter has broken and springtime is here! The roar of the lion of the tribe of Judah has sounded across the Church. It is time to come under the banner of praise and to break open the atmosphere with the incense of worship. The storehouses of heaven are opening for you!

Time to Form Ranks

The first nine months of this year have been focused on the individual. God has been aligning ourselves with Him so that we might step into this new apostolic move of God that He is preparing us for. We are about to see a great light emerge as the apostles arise to govern as God has called them to do. Now we are entering a time of alignment with one another.

God is showing us what relationships we must break off. He is showing us what new relationships must form. And He is showing us relationships that need to change. The Lord showed me that this is a time to form ranks. This is a time in which we must determine who we are going to run with. Who has our backs? Who are we supposed to live in covenant with during this next season and even for the rest of our life?

The Roman army was the most disciplined military force the world has ever seen. They were powerful because of their unity- for they fought as one man. The Romans had a battle formation called the turtle. In this formation they would hold their shields on all four sides in a perfect square and others would hold their shields overhead. With this they were able to walk right up to a walled city without incurring casualties from arrows. This was a powerful formation but was only powerful if each and every soldier operated in unity. If one man dropped his shield then an arrow could kill him or someone next to him which would result in the entire unit being exposed to enemy fire.

God is calling us to fight with this same kind of unity today. We are called to have the backs of those who we are fighting alongside of. We are meant to watch their blindspots. We need to have those around us who will see the things in our lives that we can't. But if we lose our unity we can all be destroyed. It is for this exact reason why the enemy attacks our unity with such a vengeance. Unity is one of the most powerful weapons that we have in our spiritual lives.

We must surround ourselves who are in proper alignment with what God is doing in their lives. If they are not in alignment then it exposes them to greater attack of the enemy. In the same way we must close the gaps in our own armor. We can't have compromise in our lives for it doesn't just threaten us but also those around us. We must take the quest for purity seriously. If we fall, in a particular area of our life, then we are exposing those around us as well. As leaders, who are acting as authorities and coverings, this is even more true. We receive the fruits of those who God has placed over us.

Ask the Lord to show you who is part of your unit during this next season. Be intentional with the relationships you are forming. Be purposeful with who you are in partnership with. At the same time don't be fearful- no one is perfect. Sometimes you will be brought into someone's life so that you might watch over a shortcoming that they have just as they will have your back.

We are entering a time of the pack. My spiritual father, Jonathan Ngai, was sharing this recently. He has been studying lions extensivly lately. When a lion brings down a prey the entire pride will then descend on the kill to share it. In the same way God is raising us up to live in covenant community like the lions. When we see God moving we must descend upon that move of God. It doesn't matter who that move is coming through. If my covenant brother or sister is experiencing a breakthrough in their sphere I must treat it as my own. Their victories are my victories. If we come into this reality we will see a breakthrough like no one has seen before.

The Year of the Campus

God is stirring things up once again on the university campuses of North America. We are seeing the stirring of a mighty revival and a harvest of souls the likes that has not been seen before. Most revivals and moves of God throughout history have come through the young people.

I am seeing more and more men and women of God turning their eyes towards the campuses during this time. God has placed me back on the campus for this coming year- I have not been involved on the campus since I was a student. I am seeing such a charged atmosphere and an increased unity within the university prayer movement. I'm seeing the spiritual climates over the campuses shift. As I write this I am sitting at Cal State Fullerton, my alma mater. I have not set foot on this campus in almost two years. I feel such a mighty harvest ready to erupt from this place- and I know that there are many other campuses in the same position.

I feel the Lord saying that He is going to reveal the heart of the Father to the lost. We are going to see radical demonstrations of Father's love through signs and wonders. Many will come to Christ as they see that they can have an intimate relationship with the Father God. We are going to see many of God's people step out in faith as there will be a new move of power evangelism. No longer will evangelism be done in the word only. It will be accomplished through word and deed. We are seeing a marrying of the word and the Spirit.

I see more and more open-air demonstrations. I see open-air worship becoming commonplace. As the saints gather to worship they will release Father's love. They will create portals of God's Presence. The darkest places will become places of great light and freedom. The spirit of death will be broken and voices of life raised up in its place.

We are seeing heaven invade the campus. As we see this heavenly invasion we will see a harvest of souls. This initial harvest will simply be a first fruits and will lead to an even mightier harvest. I see international students coming to Christ and going back to their home countries to release transformation.

This is a move that will carry the prayer DNA of the Moravians, the simplicity and passion of the Jesus People, the cultural transformation of the 1st and 2nd Great Awakenings, the power of the Healing Revivals, and the purity of Peter and Paul. We will see stadiums filled because the college quads will not be able to hold this move of God. This move upon the campuses is a major component of the end-time revival. I believe that many of the end-time generals will receive their salvation, baptism, and training upon the campuses. This is a wave that will serve to usher in an even greater outpouring. We will see the harvesters arise!
