2017: “We Are Ascending
Into the Transformation of our Lives and of the Nations”
Patrick and Susan share many insights and prophetic encounters the Lord gave them for the Year 2017, as well as understanding for the Years 2016-2019. It is vital that we remain in the Rest of God, seated in our places as we transcend the turbulence of the Winds of Change in order to see what the Lord has waiting for us all above the cloudline. Its going to be a remarkable and notable year for those who will rest and trust in Him who works out all of our scrolls.

Two weeks ago as I was opening our service
at SOG, I was taken into a vision, which is panoramic for where we are all at
right now as individuals and as a nation. I saw us all sitting strapped into
our seats in an airplane and we were all rising from the ground level into the
air and we were about to go through the clouds.
I knew that as we entered the
clouds, that there would be turbulence in the transition as the Winds of Change
were in the clouds. As we enter the clouds, the turbulence will be sudden and
swift.
The purpose of the turbulence we are about
to go through is to remove any remaining baggage and residue that is left from
our leaving the lower levels. It is also to force us to trust in the care and
wisdom of God as He brings us all through the transition phase we are currently
in.
Ecclesiastes 3:10 I have seen the
painful labor and exertion and miserable business which God
has given to the sons of men with which to exercise and busy
themselves. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has
planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted
sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God
alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the
beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them than
to be glad and to get and do good as long as they live;
Hebrews 12:27 Now this expression, Yet once
more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all [that can
be] shaken—that is, of that which has been created—in order that what cannot be
shaken may remain and continue. 28 Let us therefore, receiving a
kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer
to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with
modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe;
We have all left the point of no return, and
have now begun our corporate ascent into the greater plans and purposes that
the Father has for us all. The only place to go is up. We have to rise above
everything in order to get a clearer view of the things ahead of us, which will
be seen when we emerge above the clouds of change.
The Lord has chosen to bring
us into a new place, and it is in our best interest to cooperate with His
process and remain seated in our seats, the place of trust and rest in Him, and
let Him have His way through the ascent process. If we try to leave our seat,
we will get knocked around in the turbulence and could have a tough time in the
process. This transition process is the Lord and we are not to fear at all.
It is the Lord’s intention to clear up the
messes that have been made below so to speak, so that we can have a clear view
of the things that are true, and the things that are right and that are
available to us in this generation, so that we can make good choices ahead, and
to also choose the better way as a nation.
Mark 8:34 And Jesus called [to Him] the
throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me,
let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself
and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [joining Me as a disciple and
siding with My party] follow with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to
Me]. 35 For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life,
will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only
on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My
sake and the Gospel’s will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the
eternal kingdom of God]. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the
whole world, and forfeit his life [in the eternal kingdom of God]?
Luke 17:21 Nor will people say, Look!
Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within
you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].
Matthew 10:38 And he who does not take
up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My
example in living and, if need be, in dying also] is not worthy of Me.
39 Whoever finds his [lower] life will lose it [the higher life], and
whoever loses his [lower] life on My account will find it [the higher life].
So He is going to bring us through this
turbulent season ahead, and we will have the opportunity to choose to agree with
the higher way that He has for us individually and as a nation. This means that
we must trust in His ways and let things shake and fall where they will.
Everything has to go in order for us to know the way to go.
He knows what is best for us all, and He is
also the pilot flying our plane. We can trust that we will arrive at the
destination that He has for us all, and we will all be spiritually healthier
and stronger for it. These are the days of Transformation and the Ascension has
only just begun.
Romans
12:2 Do not be
conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its
external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire]
renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may
prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is
good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
We must settle it in our hearts and minds to
just remain in flight, rest in His care, knowing that the winds are for us and
not against us. Even though you cant see as you are passing through the cloud
barriers, we are to know that He sees, and He sees what we don’t see! We have
to trust, and rest in His Wisdom as we move upwards into His purposes.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek, inquire
for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by
necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked
forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the
Lord, and He will have love, pity, and mercy for him, and to our God,
for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon. 8 For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My
thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain and snow come down from
the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring
forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 So
shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me
void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that
which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for
which I sent it.
Proverbs 3:5 Lean on, trust
in, and be confident in the Lord with all your
heart and mind and do not rely on your own
insight or understanding.
(Which means - the leaning
of the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus in absolute trust and
confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness.)
He knows the future, and has it all planned
out for us individually and as a nation. He wrote our scrolls, and He knows
exactly how they will unroll. We will have a much clearer view as we pass
through this time. We will arrive and we will all be right on His time!
Ephesians 1:9 Making known to us the
mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [And it is this:]
In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had
previously purposed and set forth in Him, 10 [He planned]
for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all
things and head them up and consummate them in Christ,
[both] things in heaven and things on the earth. 11 In Him we also were
made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for
we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with
His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the
counsel and design of His [own] will,
*** The Pearls raining down in Fridays (12/30)
meeting:
Acts 4:33 Great Grace rested richly upon them all….
*** The sign of the two knocks on my door last
week:
Revelations 3:14 And to the angel
(messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of
the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the
Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation: 15 I
know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither
cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! 16 So, because you are
lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth! 17 For
you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in
need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are
wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 Therefore I counsel you to
purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be
[truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your
nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
19 Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and
convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline
and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in
earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and
attitude]. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens
to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and
will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me. 21 He who overcomes (is
victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself
overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.
22 He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the
[Holy] Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).
*** Being Lukewarm:
It is not just having a cold
or stony heart, but it is also being a hearer but not a doer of His words.
(2016 and 2017: Jubilee
Years and Double Doors)
Think about “Doors”:
1. They open and close things
2. They end and begin things
3. They are for markers and signs of cycles
and seasons
Natural signs of the spiritual exchanges for the purpose of realigning the nations for harvest:
1. Changing of leadership roles/seats
2. Changing of laws and of mindsets for harvest
3. Changing of borders/boundaries
The timing and significance of the “double
doors”:
“Eating the Books to prophesy to the nations
for transformation!”
Revelations 10:10 Then I saw another
mighty angel coming down from heaven, robed in a cloud, with a [halo like a]
rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his feet (legs) were like
columns of fire. 2 He had a little book (scroll) open in his hand. He set
his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 And he shouted
with a loud voice like the roaring of a lion; and when he had shouted, the
seven thunders gave voice and uttered their message in distinct
words. 4 And when the seven thunders had spoken (sounded), I was going to
write [it down], but I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven
thunders have said! Do not write it down! 5 Then the [mighty] angel whom I
had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven
(the [sky), 6 And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and
ever, Who created the heavens ([sky) and all they contain, and the earth and
all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no
more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay,
7 But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel
is about to be sounded, then God’s mystery (His secret design, His hidden
purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets,
should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed). 8 Then the voice that I
heard from heaven spoke again to me, saying, Go and take the little book
(scroll) which is open on the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and
on the land. 9 So I went up to the angel and asked him to give me the
little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it. It will embitter your
stomach, though in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey. 10 So I took
the little book from the angel’s hand and ate and swallowed it; it
was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but once I had swallowed it, my stomach was
embittered. 11 Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy
concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and
kings.
Embittered means: to be indignant, angry,
bitter, but also to be burdened, grieved, sobered, and a realization of the
weight of responsibility of leadership.
2 Chronicles 1:8 And Solomon said to
God, You have shown great mercy and loving-kindness to David my
father and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, O Lord God, let Your promise
to David my father be fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people like
the dust of the earth in multitude. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge
to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this Your people who
are so great? 11 God replied to Solomon, Because this was in your heart
and you have not asked for riches, possessions, honor, and glory, or
the life of your foes, or even for long life, but have asked wisdom and
knowledge for yourself, that you may rule and judge My people over
whom I have made you king, 12 Wisdom and knowledge are granted you.
And I will give you riches, possessions, honor, and glory, such as
none of the kings had before you, and none after you shall have their equal.
