Bill Yount: "IN THE YEAR 2007-- REAL ESTATE DEALS AND LAND WERE DROPPING INTO THE HANDS OF GOD'S PEOPLE! Psalm 24:1"
IN THE YEAR 2007--AS THE ENEMY WAS 'MISCALCULATING AND FUMBLING' MANY REAL ESTATE DEALS AND MUCH LAND WAS DROPPING INTO THE HANDS OF GOD'S PEOPLE! Psalm 24:1
Psalm 24:1, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein."
Romans 8:22, "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until 'NOW.'"
As I read this Scripture in Romans, the word "now" jumped off of the page! I sensed the Lord saying, "Now, means now!" I sensed the earth itself is groaning to come under it's original ownership of the Lord of all the earth! It is crying out for a deep cleansing to be redeemed into God's Kingdom. I saw as the Heavens and the earth were being shaken violently, many regions of the earth were shaken into the Kingdom of Heaven.
POWERS OF DARKNESS OVER REGIONS OF LAND WERE BECOMING VULNERABLE....
As great cries of repentance came up from God's people, our tears were cleansing the land we were crying out for mercy on. A healing of the land was taking place as we were coming under divine order. As repentance and righteousness was deeply at work within us, the enemy was reading an "eviction notice" and written on the souls of our feet was, "This land is God's land, this land is our land!"
As a result, the powers of darkness over whole regions were becoming vulnerable as deeds and titles of lands and buildings were being transferred into the hands of God's people to advance Heaven's Kingdom on the earth!
SOME "NO MAN'S LANDS" WILL PRODUCE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES AND RECORD BREAKING HARVESTS!
Some lands and buildings devastated through catastrophic events were being bought by seers and visionaries who could already see a land flowing with milk and honey. They saw this, once ownership was transferred into their hands for the Kingdom of God. Some large regions of land that had been burned by fires actually became rich in soil and produced a Heavenly proportioned harvest of foods that grew like the grapes in the valley of Eshcol--in the land of promise!
There were regions of the earth that were totally destroyed by hurricanes and earthquakes that man saw no future use for, but through great shifting, the earth was actually shaking oil, gold, and treasures toward the surface for God's people to discover as they were led to purchase a "no man's land" by faith just to redeem it!
THE LAND OF ISRAEL WILL BE UP FOR GRABS IN THE SPIRIT IN 2007!
As the world was arguing over the land of Israel and who should have a piece of it, the King of all the earth had already planted pieces of that great land into the hearts of many of His people who would be given opportunity to purchase a "piece of the Rock."
Some lovers of Israel in other nations who had sent their hearts on ahead to their real homeland, were being given a "blue light" special from Heaven to actually own and live in that city of the great King and the land of promise!
...AND THE UTTER MOST PARTS OF THE "EARTH" FOR YOUR INHERITANCE
As repentance continued, God was not only giving us the heathen for our inheritance, but also the "utter most parts of the earth" for our possession! Psalm 2:8
Be careful how you walk with God this coming year and where. The ground beneath your feet may soon be yours!

Kim Clement: "AMERICA, YOU WILL WIN! PRESIDENTS OF THIS NATION FOR THE NEXT THREE TERMS SHALL BE CHRISTIANS"
"Desperation and hunger shall cause My hand to once again spread across this Nation and bring the revival that you've prayed for."
January 26, 2007--Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
This shall be a year of GREAT ACCELERATION
The Spirit of the Lord says, "Have you heard; has it been told to you by the messengers, the "angelos," My ministers of righteousness, that I am coming? Have you heard?" says the Lord. There is a cloud, there is a cloud that many would say, "Brings the Lord back." But before this cloud can bring Him back, God says, "There is a cloud of My glory that is very difficult to see; a cloud that can only be seen by those that are hungry and by those that are thirsty."
God said, "This shall be a year of GREAT ACCELERATION." These are not empty words from an empty vessel. Hear the word of the Lord, "I gave you a sign--breaking records up to November with the heat, and now, records will break because of the cold." The two contradictions from 2006 to 2007, God said, "Hot and cold." What does this mean? For the Spirit of God said, "It means there shall be a contradiction--where the enemy has dictated one thing, I dictate another. Where the enemy has said, 'Cold,' I say 'Hot.' When he says, 'Hot,' I say, 'Cold.'"
This speaks not of the elements or the weather patterns. But the Spirit of God says, "Listen to Me, 'My people, I am God.' I have looked upon the earth and I have listened--gone to Indonesia, gone to China, Europe, Australasia, and gone to the Americas." And God says, "They have all looked upon you with hatred and despising, but yet I still tell you that the victory and the greatest victories shall transpire in this year for this Nation," says the Lord.
Men and women shall say, "We were empty and now we are full; we were crying and now we are dancing; we were down, but now we are up; in the valley, but now in the mountain. What happened? "SUDDENLY," and the Spirit of God says, "2007--acceleration, acceleration, acceleration."
You started with a little, and you will end up with much
"Because of this moment in time, you shall suddenly move to much more quickly."
"Elijah said, 'I hear the sound of an abundance of rain.' He didn't say, 'I hear the sound of a little.' The cloud was already in the sky, but somebody had to see what the prophet heard. He saw a small cloud, but it was not what it was supposed to be. The prophet heard the sound of an abundance which means it was a lot, it was plentiful, but because he could not see, the servant could not see up to the sixth time. Carnality and flesh has tried to control the perception of My people."
"Six speaks of flesh," and God says, "My Church has been through the six watches looking for the abundance that has been prophesied, looking for the abundance of revelation, looking for the abundance of finance, and the abundance of miracles. SUDDENLY, they stepped in, and on the seventh watch," God said, "he saw the cloud very small."
And God said, "When he (Elijah) saw it, SUDDENLY, it accelerated and filled the sky, placing a strength and a speed into the prophet's legs overtaking the chariot of Ahab. The prophets this year, because of the perception of the people, this will cause the prophets to overtake the chariots of the preachers that have been like Ahab and have taken and stolen," says the Lord of Hosts!
"For the chariots of Ahab have been in control," but God said, "when one servant saw what the prophet heard, SUDDENLY it filled the sky. I have been waiting for someone to see, and now throughout America, men of God and women of God are seeing what has been spoken. The blindness has left." Now God says, "This year, acceleration will begin. You started with a little, and you will end up with much," says the Lord of Hosts.
"You started with little; you started with little," says the Lord. But God said, "Because of this moment in time, you shall suddenly move to much more quickly. I'm not just talking about finance/property. I'm talking about the acceleration of deliverance in your children and acceleration of salvation in your family. I'm talking about acceleration in your business and in your ministry."
God says, "If you've seen just a little glimpse of what the prophets have heard, the men of God have heard, and desperately are preaching about, you are about to have an accelerated moment and an accelerated year," says the Lord. And I prophesy it to you and this house and to the people that understand God's glory.
Your children, accelerating in knowledge; your children accelerating in excellence, your children accelerating in creativity; your children accelerating in anointing; in truth, integrity, righteousness, holiness. Your family accelerating in every place, in every area. Take that spirit and rejoice, for it's yours tonight!
There will be a victory by the end of this term
"This day," the Spirit of God says, "let Me remind you as I bring you back to your Nation. Men in mass media predicting the worst; men in mass media hoping that God's judgment will possibly bring retreat and resolve." God said, "This is grace; My Son brought in the dispensation of grace. I will be merciful unto whom I will be merciful. I will show mercy unto whom I will. No one will stop Me. This is not compromise."
"My servant, Samson--why am I speaking of him tonight to My dear people?" Samson went to the Philistines as he was ordered by God, and they sought to kill him, taking away his life and his love. And God said, "He went down to the region and took from that region and from that soil, the jawbone, and then he went with the strength of the Spirit of God." Oh, he was by himself. This was not a mistake. And he killed those with one hand to the point where he had no strength left in him. And then he fell down on his knees and said to the Lord, "I am so thirsty, I am so thirsty; I have overcome in the battlefield, now shall I die of thirst?"
Understand where this began--Judah, yes in Israel, then came to Samson, three thousand of them, for they were afraid of the Philistines and what they would do to them. And they said to Samson, "Samson, why have you come against them now? We are in bondage to the Philistines." Samson said, "My brothers, I will let you tie me up, but please do not kill me. My own brothers, do not kill me." They tied the ropes around his hands, and three thousand of Judah delivered Samson to the Philistines.
Would this Nation listen? Would you deliver the man that would say, "I have fought for the freedom of this Nation, and you are not enslaved and in bondage to the oil of the Middle East?" Would you take what you deem as wrong? This is not a political issue. For God said, "There will be a victory by the end of this term. Mark My words. I will not allow this President to step down in shame. No, it shall not happen," says the Lord. No, it shall not happen! This shall not be in vain.
You say, "Kim, how have you spoken now?" The Word of the Lord came to me, "Do not tie his hands and deliver him to the hands of your enemies, for as one man, he shall still have a victory," says the Lord of Hosts. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue. This is a Kingdom of God issue. This is something that Daniel saw and something that John saw on the Isle of Patmos. But if they do, and they tie his hands to finish the task, for there shall be a great discovery before November. And God says, "Many shall be brought to shame. But if hands are tied, those ropes will be broken by the Spirit of the Living God," says the Lord.
America, you will win! You will win, yes, you will win!
"My Church that I am building will bring unity and the sound of unity."
For it shall come to pass, hear the words--for God said, "I shall raise up men and women," and God said, "Presidents of this Nation for the next three terms shall be Christians. I will cause them to be prayers, warriors, even though the public shall not know much about it when they step into the Office. I shall do what I did with Saul, and the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon him, and he shall be changed into another man!"
America the great, God is giving you back your honor. For great division has come across this Nation. God said, "There is only one resolve; only one solution. My Church that I am building will bring unity and the sound of unity. Desperation and hunger shall cause My hand to once again spread across this Nation and bring the revival that you've prayed for and restoration," says the Lord of Hosts.
The Spirit of God says, "I am drawn to you, I am drawn to you for the sound of unity has come. It shall not come from the White House, it shall come from My House, and that shall draw Me. But I will not bypass the Church. I am building, not man, and not the church that man is building. I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will not bypass My Church, My body."
I saw a tragic death of a politician be questioned by many. Only one time before in the Clinton administration did this happen. And now it shall happen again, and God said, "There shall be a fear that shall come. I must do a certain amount of judgment upon the political powers for it has gotten out of hand," says the Lord. "I must remove the power of religion for a while, and cause the emergence to happen, as was spoken, of a hungry people, and when this happens," says the Lord, "it shall draw Me into every field, every field, and every kingdom."
January 27, 2007--Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Ask of Me, and I shall give it to you
The Spirit of God says, "Tonight I am watching as My people come into a place that I have longed for them to come into. I am watching tonight," says the Spirit of God, "for there are those throughout this Nation that are demanding much much more."
The Heavens have been shut for a while, but God says, "I am opening up the Heavens to release a sound to those who would humble themselves to call upon My name. Tonight I am sending angelic hosts to fight, to battle, and to give you what you desire. Ask of Me, and I shall give it to you. Do you want the nations? I will give it as an inheritance. What do you want from Me?" says the Spirit of God. "I have torn away the veil; I have torn it away. I have torn it down so that you may enter into a new life and a new dimension."
"No, there will be no more terror. As Isaiah says, 'Who are you to fear to mere men? Who are you to fear man who comes from dust?' I am the one to be feared."

2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY 'CLASHING' RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED!
CHECK US OUT ONLINE @ www.heaven07.com
KINGDOM PRODUCTS: @ Webstore
Bill Yount: "2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY 'CLASHING' RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED!"
"The person who is least like you and sees things so differently, may be your best asset for your future purpose in God's Kingdom"
bill yount2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY "CLASHING" RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED AND FORGED INTO "TWO-EDGED" SWORDS "FLASHING" IN THE SPIRIT! Proverbs 27:17
Proverbs 27:17, "You use steel to sharpen steel and one friend sharpens another."
In the coming year, I see many relationships that are now clashing, that will become flashing "two-edged" swords forged together by the Spirit to do exploits and bring great devastation to the camp of the enemy. I saw relationships that seemed totally against each other, being welded together as God's love was dealing a fatal blow to their egos. And "the way I see things," God is forging them into 'two-edged' swords to sever roots of the strongholds of division over families, churches, cities, and nations!
FRICTION BETWEEN OPPOSING RELATIONSHIPS WILL CREATE SYNERGY IN THE KINGDOM THIS COMING YEAR!
"Get ready--the person you don't like right now may become your best friend!"
Synergy: the interaction of two or more agents or forces, so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Synergy is the result of two people working out their differences together.
Through unparalleled troublesome times, many opposing relationships will be challenged to synergize together, forging relationships similar to "Jonathan and David" and "Ruth and Naomi" to experience covenant relationships that will affect the course of history!
Those in clashing relationships that differ in their convictions like day and night, but are willing to continue to walk together in love, will ultimately be the ones who discover the many facets of truth in God's word, and learn what truly pleases the King of Kings. I am not talking about what is clear cut in the word of God regarding sin. I am talking about those many gray areas that have been splitting churches and dividing friends forever.
Those who hang out with friends who seem to see eye-to-eye on everything and who never disagree, will not grow much this coming year. There is going to be a shaking and sharpening in all of us! Get ready--the person you don't like right now may become your best friend! The person you don't like may have the gift of healing for your sickness or affliction. As a result, the command to "love one another" will become a matter of life or death for some churches and individuals.
Have you ever met a person who seems to have an edge to them? Again, Proverbs 27:17, "You use steel to sharpen steel and one friend sharpens another."
IRON SHARPENS IRON, STONES SMOOTH STONES AND PEOPLE GRIND PEOPLE!
God may call the person who seems to grind you the wrong way to sharpen you. In reality, this person IS your friend! He knows they are destined to help conform you into the image of Jesus Christ--God's goal for your life!
I sense the enemy has been working overtime trying to convince many that you no longer need the irritation and grinding of certain people in your life. Be careful, the Lord may still be sharpening you. The person who is least like you and sees things so differently, may be your best asset for your future purpose in God's Kingdom.
The grinding may not take so long as your glaring differences clash and cut away at each other's views that are usually at best, a little off-centered from the Lord's perspective. Isaiah 55:8, "I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work. For as the sky soars high above the earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think."
AGREEING TO ALLOW EACH OTHER TO DISAGREE IS A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS UNITY!
In many conflicts, I have found that the longer I was willing to stick it out during disagreements and personality differences, the easier it became to understand the person and why they are the way they are. The grinding, slowly but surely, gave way to a binding in the Spirit, where God could actually use us together "with" our differences more than if we were left by ourselves and our own convictions.
MANY RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE NOW "STRAINING" ARE ACTUALLY IN "TRAINING" FOR FUTURE SPIRITUAL WARFARE! Ephesians 4:2
Ephesians 4:2, "With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love." To forbear means to hold oneself up against; to put up with; endure; suffer.
This picture of forbearing one another may look at first, like two people are standing up against each other in opposition. But they are actually holding themselves up against each other in order to hold each other up! Their body language is saying:
"I'm not going to let you go. You are not getting away from me just because we disagree! Even though you may be causing me to suffer right now, I know God is somehow using you in my life to grind me and sharpen me for a purpose. I am going to keep putting up with you, and forgiving you until I find out God's purpose in all of this."
Have you ever wondered how long you have to put up with someone who strongly opposes your convictions and disagrees with most everything you believe? God clearly tells us how long. Ephesians 4:13, "Until we all come into the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ!" That is just how long we need to forbear one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Many in difficult relationships, who realize their "straining" is being used for "training" for "reigning," will endure and become razor-sharp fatal weapons in spiritual warfare.
THE "JOHN MARKS" WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED WILL BE WELCOMED BACK INTO MANY MINISTRIES THIS COMING YEAR! Acts 15:36
Acts 15:36-40, "And some days after Paul said to Barnabas, 'Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord and see how they do.'
And Barnabas determined to take with him John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought it was not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia and went not with them to the work.
And the contention was so sharp between them that they departed asunder one from the other; and so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. And Paul chose Silas and departed being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God."
As Paul's life drew to a close, he writes to Timothy concerning Mark who he rejected. In 2 Timothy 4:11 (4-1-1 is the number you call or dial for information to find a person who you want to connect with), "Only Luke is with me. Take 'Mark' and bring him with you, for he is profitable to me for the ministry."
MANY MINISTRIES AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS WILL BE DIALING 4-1-1 THIS COMING YEAR...THE PHONE LINES WILL BE REALLY BUSY! 2 Timothy 4:11
Many ministries and certain spiritual Leaders will be discovering that some people in the past, who they thought were not cut-out to work along side of them in their ministry, will now be awakened to find out that these "John Marks" are profitable after all. These leaders who have been sharpened, and were being humbled by the Lord Himself through difficulties and hardships, will now be very willing to "call" for the "John Marks" to help them.
IN 2007--EVERYTHING IN YOUR MINISTRY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
"Overlooked and unseen members of the Body will become the cornerstones in the coming move of God"
As with Hurricane Katrina, catastrophic events will continue to cause churches and fellowships to merge together. As these events increase, many in church leadership will be challenged to surrender their titles and positions preferring one another in servanthood. This kind of servanthood spirit coming upon leadership, will impart new life into the corporate Kingdom Body as the charisma is lifted off of the leaders resulting in every member of the Body becoming highly anointed and activated to do the work of the ministry.
Overlooked and unseen members of the Body will become the cornerstones in the coming move of God. As earth shaking events increase, churches will be shaken more and more like "salt shakers," as God's hand shakes the "salt of the earth" into the world for a great harvest! Some churches will be forced to move out into the streets, as sidewalks become their pulpits and gutters become their altars, and as buildings become less available while the shaking increases.
I SAW DIVORCE PAPERS BEING SHREDDED UP IN THE COMING YEAR!
Some marriage relationships that had separated and had even divorced, were still being grinded and dealt with by other people God was using in their lives. As these other people continued to grind down egos and selfishness, those in separated and even divorced marriage relationships, were awakened to their need of their forgotten love for their spouse. Their characters were sharpened to an "edge" that enabled them to shred up their divorce papers and return back together again!

Bill Yount: "2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY 'CLASHING' RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED!"
"The person who is least like you and sees things so differently, may be your best asset for your future purpose in God's Kingdom"
bill yount2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY "CLASHING" RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED AND FORGED INTO "TWO-EDGED" SWORDS "FLASHING" IN THE SPIRIT! Proverbs 27:17
Proverbs 27:17, "You use steel to sharpen steel and one friend sharpens another."
In the coming year, I see many relationships that are now clashing, that will become flashing "two-edged" swords forged together by the Spirit to do exploits and bring great devastation to the camp of the enemy. I saw relationships that seemed totally against each other, being welded together as God's love was dealing a fatal blow to their egos. And "the way I see things," God is forging them into 'two-edged' swords to sever roots of the strongholds of division over families, churches, cities, and nations!
FRICTION BETWEEN OPPOSING RELATIONSHIPS WILL CREATE SYNERGY IN THE KINGDOM THIS COMING YEAR!
"Get ready--the person you don't like right now may become your best friend!"
Synergy: the interaction of two or more agents or forces, so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Synergy is the result of two people working out their differences together.
Through unparalleled troublesome times, many opposing relationships will be challenged to synergize together, forging relationships similar to "Jonathan and David" and "Ruth and Naomi" to experience covenant relationships that will affect the course of history!
Those in clashing relationships that differ in their convictions like day and night, but are willing to continue to walk together in love, will ultimately be the ones who discover the many facets of truth in God's word, and learn what truly pleases the King of Kings. I am not talking about what is clear cut in the word of God regarding sin. I am talking about those many gray areas that have been splitting churches and dividing friends forever.
Those who hang out with friends who seem to see eye-to-eye on everything and who never disagree, will not grow much this coming year. There is going to be a shaking and sharpening in all of us! Get ready--the person you don't like right now may become your best friend! The person you don't like may have the gift of healing for your sickness or affliction. As a result, the command to "love one another" will become a matter of life or death for some churches and individuals.
Have you ever met a person who seems to have an edge to them? Again, Proverbs 27:17, "You use steel to sharpen steel and one friend sharpens another."
IRON SHARPENS IRON, STONES SMOOTH STONES AND PEOPLE GRIND PEOPLE!
God may call the person who seems to grind you the wrong way to sharpen you. In reality, this person IS your friend! He knows they are destined to help conform you into the image of Jesus Christ--God's goal for your life!
I sense the enemy has been working overtime trying to convince many that you no longer need the irritation and grinding of certain people in your life. Be careful, the Lord may still be sharpening you. The person who is least like you and sees things so differently, may be your best asset for your future purpose in God's Kingdom.
The grinding may not take so long as your glaring differences clash and cut away at each other's views that are usually at best, a little off-centered from the Lord's perspective. Isaiah 55:8, "I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work. For as the sky soars high above the earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think."
AGREEING TO ALLOW EACH OTHER TO DISAGREE IS A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS UNITY!
In many conflicts, I have found that the longer I was willing to stick it out during disagreements and personality differences, the easier it became to understand the person and why they are the way they are. The grinding, slowly but surely, gave way to a binding in the Spirit, where God could actually use us together "with" our differences more than if we were left by ourselves and our own convictions.
MANY RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE NOW "STRAINING" ARE ACTUALLY IN "TRAINING" FOR FUTURE SPIRITUAL WARFARE! Ephesians 4:2
Ephesians 4:2, "With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love." To forbear means to hold oneself up against; to put up with; endure; suffer.
This picture of forbearing one another may look at first, like two people are standing up against each other in opposition. But they are actually holding themselves up against each other in order to hold each other up! Their body language is saying:
"I'm not going to let you go. You are not getting away from me just because we disagree! Even though you may be causing me to suffer right now, I know God is somehow using you in my life to grind me and sharpen me for a purpose. I am going to keep putting up with you, and forgiving you until I find out God's purpose in all of this."
Have you ever wondered how long you have to put up with someone who strongly opposes your convictions and disagrees with most everything you believe? God clearly tells us how long. Ephesians 4:13, "Until we all come into the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ!" That is just how long we need to forbear one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Many in difficult relationships, who realize their "straining" is being used for "training" for "reigning," will endure and become razor-sharp fatal weapons in spiritual warfare.
THE "JOHN MARKS" WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED WILL BE WELCOMED BACK INTO MANY MINISTRIES THIS COMING YEAR! Acts 15:36
Acts 15:36-40, "And some days after Paul said to Barnabas, 'Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord and see how they do.'
And Barnabas determined to take with him John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought it was not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia and went not with them to the work.
And the contention was so sharp between them that they departed asunder one from the other; and so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. And Paul chose Silas and departed being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God."
As Paul's life drew to a close, he writes to Timothy concerning Mark who he rejected. In 2 Timothy 4:11 (4-1-1 is the number you call or dial for information to find a person who you want to connect with), "Only Luke is with me. Take 'Mark' and bring him with you, for he is profitable to me for the ministry."
MANY MINISTRIES AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS WILL BE DIALING 4-1-1 THIS COMING YEAR...THE PHONE LINES WILL BE REALLY BUSY! 2 Timothy 4:11
Many ministries and certain spiritual Leaders will be discovering that some people in the past, who they thought were not cut-out to work along side of them in their ministry, will now be awakened to find out that these "John Marks" are profitable after all. These leaders who have been sharpened, and were being humbled by the Lord Himself through difficulties and hardships, will now be very willing to "call" for the "John Marks" to help them.
IN 2007--EVERYTHING IN YOUR MINISTRY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
"Overlooked and unseen members of the Body will become the cornerstones in the coming move of God"
As with Hurricane Katrina, catastrophic events will continue to cause churches and fellowships to merge together. As these events increase, many in church leadership will be challenged to surrender their titles and positions preferring one another in servanthood. This kind of servanthood spirit coming upon leadership, will impart new life into the corporate Kingdom Body as the charisma is lifted off of the leaders resulting in every member of the Body becoming highly anointed and activated to do the work of the ministry.
Overlooked and unseen members of the Body will become the cornerstones in the coming move of God. As earth shaking events increase, churches will be shaken more and more like "salt shakers," as God's hand shakes the "salt of the earth" into the world for a great harvest! Some churches will be forced to move out into the streets, as sidewalks become their pulpits and gutters become their altars, and as buildings become less available while the shaking increases.

EXPECT EACH YEAR TO INCREASE IN INTENSITY AND SIGNIFICANCE
CHECK US OUT ONLINE @ www.heaven07.com

Rick Joyner: "2007 and 2008--EXPECT EACH YEAR TO INCREASE IN INTENSITY AND SIGNIFICANCE"
"Nations are making decisions now that will determine if they will turn and become part of the coming of the Kingdom of God...."
Ask for Wisdom
The year 2007 will be a significant year, and 2008 will be even more so. We can expect each year to increase in intensity and significance. This means that the consequences of our choices will continue to increase in importance. This is why asking God for wisdom should be one of our highest priorities.
Therefore, we have a great promise and warning in James 1:5-8:
"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
The promise is that God will delight in giving us wisdom and will give it to us generously. However, we are warned not to be "double-minded," as this will make us unstable in all of our ways. What does it mean to be double-minded? The Greek word translated "double-minded" here is dipsuchos, which could have been literally translated "two-spirited," or having two spirits. A modern term for this would be "two-faced." This implies a person who changes with situations and cannot be trusted.
If we are one person at home, another on the job, another at church, and another when out with friends, this kind of inconsistent personality would be a form of this. In the case that James is discussing, it would be like someone who projects himself as being one person before God, especially when he may want something from Him. He will not be fooled by this, and such a person should not expect to get anything from the Lord.
A People Who Represent Him
"The Lord does at times wait before disciplining His people to give us time to repent..."
Because the world is falling further into instability and inconsistency, it is more imperative than ever that Christians become stable, consistent, and true in our basic nature. Of course, this is supposed to be basic Christianity, which is the result of a life that serves one King, doing all things to please Him, regardless of what others may think about it.
The exposure of highly visible ministries that are living double lives is an indication of just how serious the Lord is about having a people who represent Him on the earth who are true. As we are told in I Peter 4:17-19:
"For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner?
Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right."
When the Lord judges His church, it is not for the purpose of condemnation, but for correction so we might share His nature. The Lord does at times wait before disciplining His people to give us time to repent and discipline ourselves. It is better and easier to fall on the Rock and be broken than to have it fall on us and grind us into powder (see Luke 20:18).
Even so, as we are told in Ecclesiastes 8:11, "Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil."
Many Christians have been under the delusion that because they seem to be getting away with transgression in their lives, that God does not really care about it. The scariest thing in the world should be if we are living with a major stronghold of sin in our lives and getting away with it. We are told in Hebrews 12:5-8:
"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by Him;
For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives.
It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons."
The Days of Fulfillment
"Christians are about to begin streaming across their Jordan River to begin possessing their inheritance."
This is the time when our choices will begin to bring much swifter and more drastic consequences. This intensity will grow continually until the end. It will never be easier to repent and make the necessary changes that we need to make--than right now.
Nations are making decisions now that will determine if they will turn and become part of the coming of the Kingdom of God or be shaken loose from their moorings (dock side) to drift into oblivion. Individuals, churches, and denominations are likewise making this same choice. As we get closer to the end of this age and the revealing and establishment of the Kingdom of God on the earth, the consequences of our choices will come swifter.
The consequences of righteous choices will also increase, and the rewards will come faster. Christians are about to begin streaming across their Jordan River to begin possessing their inheritance. We are entering the days of fulfillment.
There are practical things we must know and do to be ready for this, which are not burdensome, but will result in a greater freedom in us, so that we can proclaim liberty throughout the land from a heart that is free.

SEVEN PROPHETIC DIRECTIVES FOR 2007
CHECK US OUT ONLINE @ www.heaven07.com
KINGDOM PRODUCTS: @ www.heaven07.com/WebstoreGL.html
Patricia King: "SEVEN PROPHETIC DIRECTIVES FOR 2007"
Prophetic insight is given by the Lord so that we will understand His heart, desires, perspectives, and promises for the future. When embraced in prayer and faith, we will see the fulfillment of those promises in our lives.
Like Mary, we will say, "Be it done unto me according to Your word" (Luke 1:38), and like her, we will experience the same results--fulfillment of prophecy.
1. A Year of Success and Fruitfulness
In 2007, the Lord is looking for those who will invest their "talents" wisely. It is a year to DREAM BIG. It is a year of bringing forth fruit for the Lord and His Kingdom through the wise investment of the gifts He has given.
In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), the master praised the servants who took the initiative to invest what they had been given, but he was angry with the one who buried his one talent. Jesus said that this parable describes the Kingdom (verse 14).
The Lord is calling His people to make investments of their gifts on behalf of the Kingdom. There will be success and fruitfulness for those who do. 2007 is a year to invest much as there will be great dividends for the glory of God. "You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on all your ways" Job 22:28. (Also read Psalm 20:4; Deuteronomy 28:8, 12; Genesis 1:28; John 15:7.)
2. Change, Change, Change
2007 is going to meet us with great change. The face of the Church is going to change drastically. Political changes and shifts await us. Individuals will be called to make changes in their lives to facilitate the call of God. Some will even be called to make geographical changes. Many believers will have unexpected changes in vocation. Some students at the university level will suddenly feel to change their majors even after they have invested many months and years in a particular direction.
It is vital in 2007 that believers seek the Lord for confirmation during the stirrings that call for change. The Lord will confirm clearly. Great flexibility and grace will be required to move into the change that God is ordaining. New levels of dependency on God will need to be embraced during these times of transition.
Prophetic signs of change
Many will experience a phenomenon of finding "change" (coins) in unique places--sometimes on the walkway in front of them or in drawers or on the floor beneath them. This will be quickened to the heart as a "prophetic sign" confirming the season of change.
Another sign will be the appearance of butterflies. The butterfly comes forth as a result of metamorphosis (change). The increased and unusual appearances of butterflies will be a confirmation of the season of change. Another sign will be changes in weather patterns and unexpected winds in regions that are marked for change.
3. A Year of Covenant Blessing
Abraham was blessed by God, and he was called to be a blessing so that all the nations would be blessed. This is our calling in the Kingdom--to live in the blessings of God in Christ, so that the testimony of Christ's glory and love spreads.
Christians will be called by the Spirit in 2007 to establish boundaries around their lives where ONLY BLESSINGS will prevail. When attacks, assaults, and trials come, they will be turned into blessings as believers stand their ground on covenant promises. Blessings will become the protective border and the covering of believer's lives that embrace this. (Read Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:2-4; Genesis 1:28; Genesis 12:2,3; Psalm 103:1-5; Deuteronomy 28:1-13; Numbers 6:23-26.)
4. Earth Shaking Catastrophes
There will be some catastrophes in 2007 that will cause people to respond in fear. Believers are not to fear, but to rather embrace the situations, allowing them to usher in revival and harvest. The Church will be launched into mercy and compassion ministry when these catastrophes occur. Calls to prayer during these events will also be used to unite the Body. (Read Hebrews 12:26-29; Matthew 24:6-7.)
5. Walking on Water
The Lord is calling His Church to move in the supernatural. Many will be called out of the "boat of comfort" into "arenas of risk" in 2007. It is important to keep the focus on Jesus and His Word alone during these times. The Holy Spirit will teach the Church the importance of living in the supernatural empowerment Christ has invested in us through His indwelling presence.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths" Proverbs 3:5-6. (Also read Matthew 14:28-31.)
6. Bible Faith will be Challenged
The Church must remain strong in intercession in 2007 as foundations of faith and Bible absolutes will be challenged by political and humanistic spirits in Christian nations. God will raise up spokespeople who will be a voice for uncompromised truth in the nations. These ones will suffer persecution both in the world and in the Church for their righteous stands. A separation will come in the Church between those who are fully committed to Bible truth and those who compromise. (Read Psalm 1 and 2.)
7. God's Media Army is Emerging
Many Christians will experience the call into media in 2007. The Lord is raising up an army in the area of television, radio, entertainment, internet, and print media. These warriors will be powerfully used of God to spread the Gospel and to creatively build faith in the masses. "The Lord gives the word, and a great army brings the good news" Psalm 68:11.

A NEW YEAR 'REVOLUTION' FOR 2007

Reeni Mederos: "A NEW YEAR 'REVOLUTION' FOR 2007--DARE TO BE DANGEROUS"
"The New Year will pose many new and unusual challenges that will require personal choice and self-determination."
It's A New Year Revolution
Scott HicksIt has been proclaimed that the year 2007 will be the "Year of Heaven." There is great anticipation in the air as the promises of God are waiting for each and every one of us to seize the moment as the New Year unfolds before our very eyes. At the same time, the Lord is saying, "Dare to be Dangerous in 2007."
As many are starting the New Year with traditional New Year's Resolutions, the Lord is revealing His heart's desire instead, for a "New Year Revolution." This revolution is about to split wide-open in the hearts of those that are willing to take the Kingdom of God by force with their whole heart and for those who don't give up. He says, "The New Year will pose many new and unusual challenges that will require 'personal choice' and 'self-determination' to obtain and execute the promises at hand."
God's Prototype Foreshadowed in the Spirit of Elijah
In Matthew 11, we clearly see that John the Baptist was a dangerous Warrior in the Kingdom of God and dared to be dangerous in his day, as God's prototype foreshadowed the Spirit of Elijah upon his present generation. He had great prophetic insight and foresight, and could see far further into the future than most people of his day, as he dared to pave the way for something far greater than he, himself. Jesus describes John's life purpose in verses 12-15 in these familiar words when He said,
"And from the time John the Baptist began preaching and baptizing until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people attack it. For before John came, all the teachings of the Scriptures looked forward to this present time. And if you are willing to accept what I say, he is Elijah, the one the prophets said would come. Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand."
Jesus wasn't talking here about some passive stance of standing by on the sidelines, carelessly waiting for someone to snatch the Kingdom of Heaven right out from under our feet. That was the problem Jesus had with most of the religious people of His day. They allowed the devil to take the Kingdom away from them before they could enter it, while they were passive and too blind with religious pride to see it coming. It is God's pleasure to give us the Kingdom, and it is also satan's pleasure to take it away from us if he can. In Matthew 11:18, Jesus said,
"For John the Baptist didn't drink wine and he often fasted, and you say, 'He's demon possessed.'"
Jesus pointed out that John the Baptist was very active and did not drink the wine of passivity and unbelief of that generation, but chose the key elements of active prayer and fasting to pave the way for his mission. John faced many challenges and yet took the Kingdom of God by force with determination to finish his mission in the face of religious enmity and deadly opposition. He was not one to give up so easily, and certainly, was not passive about his mission and calling as he "Dared to be Dangerous" in his day for the sake of Christ.
skydiveHow Dangerous Are You?
The Lord is saying that if passivity is tolerated in the slightest amount, there could be something of great value lost in the process, and even crucial elements to the promises of God can be forfeited by a lack of Godly aggression to secure the manifestation of those promises for your life, and for generations to come.
What does this mean for us today? God is simply asking, "How dangerous are you?" In other words, the Lord is asking, "How dangerous are you willing to be?" It is obvious there is no room for passivity in the Kingdom of God, especially not for this coming year. God's people just can't afford to tolerate it or they will lose gained ground from previous victories.
Godly Force and Godly Violence
"The use of Godly force and Godly violence in the Kingdom of Heaven, is the use of delegated authority given by Jesus."
"...the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force." Matthew 11:12
The Greek definition of "violence" means to use force; to apply force; to inflict violence on; to press; forcing his way. The Greek root definition of violence means life; life extensively; the period or course of life; that by which life is sustained, resources, wealth, goods; to live.
In other words, as we take hold of the Kingdom of Heaven, pursue it, and make it our own, the use of force and violence is NOT the act of a crime or the act of violence as the world's definition of the word. The use of "Godly force" and "Godly violence" in the Kingdom of Heaven, is the use of delegated authority given by Jesus, Himself, as a way of life, life extensively, or even life abundantly. When we execute Godly force or Godly violence, it is a matter of life and death; life for us, but death blows to the works and the kingdom of darkness, and death to the works of the flesh.
If we don't use or execute Godly force or Godly violence in the name and authority of Jesus Christ in our determination to lay hold of the promises of God, we actually lose something very valuable in the process. We then have the potential to lose stability in our lives, our resources, our wealth, and our goods in every area of life. That means that the devil will have an open door of opportunity to enforce his authority to steal, kill, and destroy through passivity and apathy. Being passive and apathetic in the Kingdom of Heaven simply means, "One who lays down his or her Godly authority allowing for another to pick it up and take over (or takes control)."
The Effectual Fervent (Violent) Prayer
Webster's definition of "violence" means "the exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house)." It also means vehement feeling or expression. The synonym for "violence" in Webster's dictionary is FERVOR and PASSION. This brings to mind James 5:16, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." It could also be said this way, "The effectual fervent (VIOLENT) prayer of a righteous man avails much." The Amplified version of the same verse says, "The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)."
This not only affects our prayer life, but executing Godly force and Godly violence as God sees it, affects our worship, our witness, our families, our destiny, our Churches, our nation, and the list goes on. If we take a passive stance, and do not seriously consider what the Spirit of the Lord is really saying concerning advancing the Kingdom of God with "Godly force, Godly violence, Godly fervor, and Godly passion," we will have missed out on the blessings of the Kingdom that rightfully belong to us, even to the extent of changing the course of a nation.
We will not be able to blame passivity on the devil, because as stated earlier, the Lord says, "The New Year will pose many new and unusual challenges that will require 'personal choice' and 'self-determination' to obtain and execute the promises at hand." It is the element of PERSONAL CHOICE and SELF-DETERMINATION in every child of God that will be the deciding factor if successful advancement of the Kingdom of Heaven is to be achieved within each individual life and their respective spheres of influence.
childrenThe Kingdom Received as Little Children
If the Bible says in Luke 12:32, "For it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom," then why does it also say in Matthew 11:12, that "the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force"? Why do we have to take with violence something that has in fact already been given to us? The King James Version, "suffers violence," means that the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and it continues to do so through every violent opposition and violent aggression in both offense and defense since the "time" or "days" of John the Baptist.
In actuality, the Kingdom of Heaven requires two things:
1) It has to be given to us by God and received by us as little children in order to enter it and for it to enter into us.
2) The Kingdom of Heaven has already been fought for and won for us by Jesus at the cross, but there is also the element of fighting the good fight of faith which must be won by every individual child of God. Each person is responsible for walking out his or her own salvation, and maintain and advance the Kingdom of God in their own lives with their own choices they make.
At the same time, the violent opposition and aggression forces the Kingdom of Heaven to advance within each individual, much like weight training and warfare. The more resistance there is, the more strength and overcoming power is developed within. Without the strength that opposition and resistance cause, there can be no real growth or advancement in the Kingdom of God, which ultimately lies deep within the heart of each believer and every child of God.
The Ultimate Time Travel
In essence, the Spirit of Elijah that was upon John, was much like how Elijah out ran the chariots of God in the Old Testament. John was so on fire for God with ardent zeal, that it propelled him in time to see into the future, where he beheld "The Lamb of God" with his own eyes. John would not have been able to accomplish his mission without this one vital aspect of prophetic foresight. It is what kept him alive and well, aggressively advancing the Kingdom of Heaven until he finished his mission. Then and only then did he die. John saw the excellencies of the glory of God "from another time," descend upon Jesus like a dove. His heart was connected with eternity so much, that he prophetically saw all that he would preach of, speak of, and live for.
"Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29
When John said, "behold", the Greek definition says this means to perceive, discern, and discover, as John had been given the privilege to see deeply into the future events of the glories of Heaven, even before the future was ever manifested in the now. This is the ultimate time travel if there ever was one.
John was Ahead of the Times
"We are to advance ahead of the times to bring the realities of Heaven into the manifestation of the here and now."
Simply put, John was a prototype as "ahead of his time." As with this present generation, which is ahead of the times, who will be bold enough and daring enough to travel through the times of God's heart? This means that we are living in a day and age where the power and anointing of God is so present, that we will go ahead in time through prophetic foresight and prepare the way of the Lord, prophetically speaking. That is why the year 2007 is especially the "Year of Heaven" as God has declared it to be so. We are to advance ahead of the times to bring the realities of Heaven into the manifestation of the here and now and into our present time.
Jesus meant what He said back in the day of John the Baptist, and He still means what He says for us today and even for the year 2007. John dared to be different as he pursued the Kingdom of Heaven with the most ardent faith and tenacious perseverance until the day he died. John was a Warrior and a revolutionary that preceded Jesus, as many are doing so today in the same spirit of Elijah. He was dangerous and threatened the powers of darkness through his warfare and violent advancement for the cause of Christ. Heaven would never be the same. John was persecuted and hated by the religious, as well as sinners who could not stomach his message of Truth, but was loved, honored, and adored by Jesus Himself, as family, as a friend, and as his Savior.
John's mission was to pave the way for Jesus, and we learn from his life that Godly violence is not a matter of crime, but rather a matter of love. The real crime is to do nothing, to be passive, to allow apathy to settle in, and to become indifferent to the precious gift of salvation that Jesus poured out with His very life blood. The love of God is the most violent kind of love there is and ever could be. His love was violent enough to snatch each and every one of us from the grips of hell for the simple price of self-surrender. Jesus demonstrated how violent His love for us was, is, and ever will be on the day He died and bled on that cross.
The Kingdom of Heaven Manifested
"We are to keep the flame of our first love burning deep within."
Our challenge now, is to dare to express and violently pursue this same fervency and ardent love for God in the year 2007, and in the years to come, by not giving into passivity and inactivity. We are to keep the flame of our first love burning deep within, which fuels us in the first place, to do what we do in the Name and for the sake of Jesus. John went against the grain of the average person of his day, and far surpassed anyone in pursuit of the Kingdom of Heaven. His eyes were not only focused upon the Kingdom of Heaven, but the eyes of his heart were completely fixed as he gazed upon the one and only Lamb of God.
He perceived that the Kingdom of Heaven was about to split wide open in greater advancement and he allowed himself to decrease as Jesus increased evermore deeply within him. Maybe it was his love for his cousin, or maybe it was his love for his Savior. The violent love of God within John ultimately drove him to the extreme of literally putting his neck on the line for Jesus as a violent forerunner of the Kingdom of Heaven for generations to come. John did not allow passivity, inactivity, apathy, or complacency to rule over him or creep in subtly. If he had, it would have cost him his real life...which was his life in Christ and the preciousness of the life of Christ within him that he redskycherished so deeply.
The Kingdom of Heaven is being manifested, and Jesus is making Heaven real within the hearts of those that He loves.
