Revival is Here!

I woke up last week with the words "REVIVAL IS HERE! SOUND THE ALARM, REVIVAL IS HERE!" screaming in my spirit. It was like a fire alarm was going off inside of me. I couldn't shut it down either. The words just kept ringing and ringing inside of me for over an hour. To put this in context, I should back up a little bit and tell you about what led to this. It all started with me learning about the Florida Outpouring revival that's been going on since April in Lakeland, Florida. I heard about it through the grapevine about a month ago and checked it out on http://www.freshfire.ca/ a couple of times. I've been "on fire" ever since and literally obsessed with the desire to see revival come to the rest of the country. Then recently in my prayer time as I've was seeking God for the strategy to do this, I heard the following words:

"Now is the time for the army of God to rise and the kingdom of God to come forth in the minds, lives, ministries and businesses of God's chosen elect. Now is the time for the church to rise in power and take back what the devil has stolen. Now is the time for us to get back to basics and focus on the mission. The captives are crying, the lost are hurting, and the hungry are dying. Where is my church? Where are my warriors? Fighting with each other? Distracted by the age? I'm calling saints, I'm calling. I'm calling you to worship Me in spirit and in truth. I'm calling you to seek My face and return to the battle at hand. Your own needs are not the issue, fulfilling your heavenly call is - being about your Father's business is the only way to live. Refocus My people, refocus. What is the vision? What is your call? What is your assignment in My kingdom? Seek first the kingdom of God and watch every hindrance fall. Pursue the call, pursue the dream and watch the resistance fall. There is no one nor anything that can stop the revival that's coming your way. Get ready Church, take your positions, Church. Say yes to your assignment and get back up on the wall. Watch, pray and listen. For I am prepared to move you out into areas that you've only dreamed about. But you must follow My instructions closely and make sure that you are trusting in only Me. You've never been this way before and only I can lead you successfully."

Then last night I ran across this video of an 11 year old boy that the Lord used to bring revival to another service. I couldn't help but post it:

I want everyone to catch on fire with the passion to see the glory of God in every church service and meeting around the globe. It's time to get out of our comfort zones and yield to whatever the Spirit of God is leading us to do! I'll keep you posted as I continue to fan the flame in my own life and ministry.

Peace, be still...

Have you ever noticed how noisy the world can be? When's the last time you sat down and were completely still? I mean totally still with no music, no television, no computer, and no interruptions. When's the last time you sat down and just listened? If you are like me and actually try this, the first thing you will probably notice is that silence is hard to come by. Even when you're quiet there's usually still some noise in the atmosphere. Maybe the air conditioner is humming or the birds outside are singing. But if you continue just to sit there and focus, not on the noises coming from the outside, but start to tune your ear to what's going on inside of you, I'll bet you'll also realize that it's not quiet on the inside either. There may be a million thoughts going through your head. But it's not there that I believe we need to stop either. I sense we need to press into complete silence and really listen to our heart. I sense that we need to press past all the noise of the flesh and listen to the only real sound that matters. The sound of the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit, our Comforter. I mean, why did God go to all of the trouble of sending His precious Son Jesus to die a brutal death so that the Comforter could come, if we didn't need to be comforted? We do. We need to hear the wonderful, reassuring voice of the Holy Spirit. We need to hear him tell us that we are loved. We need to hear him tell us that we are forgiven. We need to hear him tell us that He is faithful. We need to hear him tell us that He's working everything out for our good. We need to hear Him tell us that He has the situations that are concerning us under control. We need to hear Him tell us that whatever we fear is a lie. We need to hear Him tell us that all things are possible if we will just only believe. We need to be comforted. We need to be reassured. We need to be edified. We need to be encouraged. This is the job of the Holy Spirit and He wants to talk to you right now. Are you listening?

The Wind of the Spirit is Blowing

I was looking out bathroom window the other day praying when I heard these words in my spirit, "The winds of the Spirit are blowing. The winds are change are blowing. Can you feel it?" I then noticed that the wind was actually blowing outside my window but not all of the trees were moving. Some were moving with the wind while others seemed not to be affected at all. It was though some of the trees didn't even feel the wind. Then I heard these words, "So it is with My Body. Some are sensitive to the winds of change while other are oblivious to My movement. Some people are not open to My promptings and others simply refuse to yeild. However, the winds of My Spirit are blowing. The winds of change are blowing. I am calling My people into deeper levels of consecration. I am calling My people to press into My grace and allow Me to transform the areas of their life that have been obstacles to progress. My grace is sufficient and made perfect in weakness. So press in My daughter and receive My grace. The winds of change are blowing. Move with them and see my power transform your life. It's time for change to breakforth. It's time for every hindrance, habit and stronghold that has hindered your progress to die. Yield my daughter. Obey my daughter and watch the walls come down."

Spring is Here!

What a wonderful time spring is... It's actually my favorite time of year. I always seem to get encouraged when I see that winter is finally over. Not that I don't like the snow, but I just love the smell of spring. I love to see the trees bud and the spring flowers bloom. It always reminds me that, no matter how dead things look some times, there is always hope for new life. But I sense in the Spirit that there is something even more special about spring this year. I sense that it is a time of unprecedented growth. It's a time for new things in our lives to spring forward and to show themselves. It's time for the things that have been lying dormant for years to finally come forth and be seen. It's time to plant. It's time to build. It's time to see the Kingdom of God manifest in the earth. It's time to do those things that we've been putting off, and to believe God for the impossible to become reality. It's time to take steps of faith believing that the greater one lives inside of us and is working all things together for our good. It's time to take off the limits that have been holding us back, and live the life that Jesus died for us to have. So stay in the word, keep focused on Jesus and incline your ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking to your heart. So, purpose in your heart to obey his instructions no matter what the cost and see the hand of the Lord prevail!

Blessings....

Prayer Training

Jesus disciples asked one of the most important questions that we can ever ask the Lord when they asked him to teach them to pray...

"And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." (Luke 11:1)

Not many people realize that prayer is a learned practice. It's not just something that we automatically know how to do. No, it's something that we have to learn. It's not that it's all that hard, but there is a right and wrong way to pray. If there weren't, then James wouldn't have said that "the effectual prayer of the righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16) This scripture tells me that if effective prayer avails much, then ineffective prayer must not.

As for me, I am extremely blessed in that I was trained to pray and then became a corporate prayer leader and prayer instructor at Living Word Christian Center (http://www.livingwd.org/ministries/prayerministry/), one of the best prayer ministries in America under the direction of Dr. Veronica Winston. At Living Word, corporate prayer is held three times a week and an 10 week intercessory prayer training class is attended by people city wide because of the revelation that is taught. I personally believe that prayer is one of the foundational activities of the church because there is such power in it. Effective prayer changes things. It is the catalyst that brings the power of God to bear on any and every situation.

So, starting this Tuesday, March 18th, if you are in the Colorado Springs area, please plan to join us for Intercessory prayer training. The meetings will last from 2-4 with one hour of prayer training and an hour of corporate prayer. The training is designed to strengthen your relationship with God, teach you to pray more effectively, and develop a biblically based prayer life. In corporate prayer you can join your faith together with other Believers in united prayer on a variety of topics including health, marriage, family, finances, the local church, the upcoming elections, etc. If you would like more information please contact the ministry directly at info@sjmi.org.

For those of you not in the Colorado Springs area, I encourage you to contact Bill Winston Ministries at http://www.bwm.org/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=26&ITEM_ID=115 to order Dr. Veronica Winston's book on prayer. It's something I keep in my bible all the time and includes powerful prayer confessions on a variety of topics.

Prophecy & Prayer Confession for 2008

FROM THE DESK OF

SCHLYCE JIMENEZ

I've been getting quite a few requests for a copy of the prophecy and prayer confession that was included in the ministry's January mailing. So for convenience sake, I thought I'd go ahead and post them online:

2008 PROPHECY

In 2008, people are going to be positioned and aligned to manifest the glory of Jesus Christ like never before. This will mean big changes for some and small adjustments for others, but it will be a year of alignment with heaven so that heaven’s blueprint can be transposed over what currently exists. 2008 will be a year of heaven on earth like never before. Things that once took a long time to manifest will now come quickly. Seeds sown in word, deed and material form will bring forth a harvest more quickly than ever before for both good and evil. The dividing line between black and white, light and dark will become clearer. Therefore, being led by peace will be more important that ever this year. In 2008, as you incline your ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying each and every day and roll your works upon the Lord committing your way to Him each morning, you will be doing things that you never thought possible. The Lord is going to orchestrate divine connections like never before and that’s why he will be asking some of you to make adjustments and changes in your surroundings, in your relationships, in your careers and in your speech. He’s going to expect more from you this year because he’s been preparing you for a time such as this and he needs you to go this distance in this hour. So now is not the time to grow weary in well doing or to allow your heart to faint even if circumstances are contrary. No, now is the time to gird up your loins and fight the good fight of faith, trusting that God is on your side and working things out together for your good. Now is the time to take the sword of the Spirit and speak the word only. Now is the time to take a step of faith in obedience to the prompting of the Spirit in your hearts. Yes, now is the time to sell out to the heavenly calling that God has made you able to fulfill and to trust God enough to obey his instructions no matter how crazy or ridiculous they may seem. God is counting on you. We are his bride and body in this earth. So indeed without him we can do nothing, but also without us neither can he. 2008 will go down in history as the year when Believers from all over the world abandoned themselves to the plans of heaven and did whatever was necessary to see God’s will birthed in the earth. So answer the call, obey the word and watch His will come to pass. In 2008, His glory will visibly shine for all to see.
