· God is mobilizing the new wineskins who are filled with the new wine of His glory. They will be a beacon of hope in the dark regions of the earth.

· The Army of God is being commissioned to take the land which God has given them and like Joshua, need to ‘be strong and of good courage’. Get ready to march!

· These holy warriors are following after the Abrahamic strategy of erecting altars to establish heaven’s atmosphere in the earth realm. In addition, the altars that have been erected to foreign gods need to come down and altars that honor the One True Living God need to be erected. God wants to restore prophetic worship on every high place in society, with the first and greatest emphasis on the Church.

· Whatever is in opposition to or resists God’s reformation needs to be rooted out and pulled down, destroyed and thrown down so the Church can build and plant. As new cycles of blessing replace old cycles of destruction, reformation will come to individuals, the corporate Body, and areas of society that are influenced.

· Governmental mantles have been released along with the Breaker Anointing so the Church can effectively take the land which God is giving them. Faith will need to overcome fear and then couple with obedience to get the job done.

· We can learn from Joshua’s leadership qualifications- He was divinely called and anointed by God, his mentor Moses agreed with God in the appointment, Joshua obeyed God, submitted to authority, he had the right(eous) spirit in him, was trained and prepared for the job, and he was faithful, willing, and able to overcome his flesh and fear.

· As we leave one season behind and journey into the New Year, God wants us to pass through the library of faith. A good place to start is in the book of Hebrews chapter 11. By faith, _________________ (your name) obeyed God and…!

· The Body of Christ has been commissioned to rise up and build, and like Nehemiah, we must have a burden for the ruins, the courage to do something about it, and take caution to know our enemy.

· The damage must be assessed before the building process can begin and God’s strategy must be gained before moving forward. As God’s people work together in rebuilding the broken down walls and gates around the land that’s been given to them, their way of life can be strengthened once again.

· Each believer must find their place at the wall, their sphere of influence and assignment, then ‘Rise up and Build’.

· The year 5770 reveals that the Body of Christ has entered a 10 year cycle of great conflict and warfare. Because of this, the prophetic ministry will increase as well as mature.

· The Watchmen need to be trained and set in their posts. A guard needs to be set around the perimeter of every home, church, business, and region to successfully thwart off impending attacks of the enemy.

· As God restores prophetic worship in the high places, the infiltration of the enemy, especially the Philistine spirit, will diminish. When the Prophets and Prophetic Guard are set in place, the enemy cannot easily infiltrate the land.

· A vineyard should not be planted without a fence around it or without a tower in its midst. There is a need to place an extra guard at the gates this season.

· God is challenging the Bride to look closely at who she’s in alliance with. She needs to walk in covenant authority as Noah did to withstand the evil rising in the earth. God has given the Church all authority over the enemy and has made the way possible to be delivered out of ungodly relationships and influences.

· Demonic alliances and generational strongholds are being exposed. There is grace in this season to overcome every hold of the enemy and be fully restored to the Lord.

· There was much wickedness in Noah’s day and those ancient evils are beginning to show themselves again. As the Bride positions herself in righteous, covenant relationship she can be certain to receive prophetic revelation and strategic insight in how to overcome every giant that would try and rise up against her. She can find grace in the eyes of the Lord and ride safely upon the top of every wave!

· Baal influence is increasing in the earth and attempting to cut off the inheritance of the next generation. Defilement of God’s holy temples and profane worship of foreign gods is becoming rampant in the world and has been given many high places in society.

· Ancient evils are resurfacing in the land but God is beginning to expose them so the Church can be prepared. ‘The Way of Cain’ is being recognized in the youth and God is giving strategy in how to deal with its influence and overcome it.

· God is raising up spiritual father’s and mother’s to help train the next generation and make necessary course corrections that will reveal God’s redemptive plan in their lives. The disadvantaged, those lacking spiritual truth, and those who receive this training will find their true identity and know what it is to be a son or daughter of God! They will gain victory over every enemy that influenced them in the past and will then have authority to help bring others out of bondage.

· Look for breakthroughs in Schizophrenia. Inner rejection and outer rebellion are the root causes of this identity robber. Special grace is being released to help liberate people from its clenches. There are many, even in the body of Christ, who are walking in some level of schizophrenia (according to the revelation given to Ida Mae Hammond. See the book ‘Pigs in the Parlor’).

· God’s Army is getting positioned with an offensive strategy to take the land that rightfully belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven. God desires to walk in covenant relationship with the next generation as well as bestow upon them every promise given them through His holy covenant.

· There have been many mistakes made by leaders in the church. Leaders who were absent, unqualified, or disqualified themselves, or those who were false teachers have left a wounded Body in their wake. The Body of Christ must move past this and not get stuck in the sin of unforgiveness and bitterness. The Lord Jesus wants to restore all! As Jude exhorted, ‘contend earnestly for the faith…’!

· The Lord is releasing the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to help restore the Church to her rightful position in the earth! New leaders are surfacing who have been put through the fire and are not prisoner to the lusts of the flesh and sin. These leaders will set a new standard as they reflect the image of Christ and demonstrate new measures of the fruit of the spirit. They will walk in great humility and restore the standard of worship and offerings given to the Lord.

· God empowered Moses with wisdom, revelation, and divine strategy to deliver the captives out of Egypt. Joshua was trusted with these divine attributes as well to successfully deliver God’s people into the Promised Land.

· Be on the look-out for God’s assistance in the season ahead because He will surely bring it. Look for your Rahab’s.

· God has anointed certain leaders, inside and outside of the Church, with the Cyrus anointing. King Cyrus was a type of deliverer, an instrument of God to help restore the Jewish people to their land after 70 years of Babylonian captivity. Cyrus was also instrumental in helping the Israelites rebuild the temple, the tabernacle of God. Look for the Cyrus’s as God begins to restore ‘Prophetic Worship’ on the high places, especially in the Church.

Matthew 9:23-26; Psalm 37:12, 32; Judges 5:8; Isaiah 22:7; Isaiah 5:1-2; Isaiah 60:1-2

· It is extremely important for God’s people to establish their atmosphere, secure their perimeter, and guard their gates. It is also important to know all the weapons of warfare and how to use them effectively. God is highlighting the weapon of Peace for this season.

· God’s people must hear His voice clearly and gain revelation for the days ahead. It is also becoming increasingly important to recognize the enemy and know how to use your authority both at ground level and occult levels of warfare.

· Strategic level warfare is increasing; however, as godly collaborations strengthen and new collaborations form, especially between Apostles and Prophets, we will see the Church rise up victorious over principalities in the land.

· It is important for the Church to be in an offensive position. Seeking the Lord for His strategy will give her victory over the enemy.

· As the Body of Christ walks in righteous covenant with God and greater authority in the earth, we will begin to see the Sword of the Lord wielded as in the days of old. The Sword of the Lord is a weapon of apostolic warfare and is different than the Sword of the Spirit referred to in Ephesians 6. Scripture shows us that God releases this weapon to bring judgment on our enemies, to produce repentance, to bring course corrections, for judgment that brings destruction because of sin, to confuse our enemy’s sword, to bring freedom and victory, to establish a holy fear of the Lord, and to save souls (See Deut. 32:40-42; Numbers 22:22-35; 1 Chronicles 21:1-2,9-16, 26-30; Judges 7:9-22; Joshua 5:13-15).

· Injustice, both modern day and those of past generations, will be dealt with but on a larger scale with an emphasis on the restoration of equality for all people. Those carrying mantles of reformation will be seen coming to the forefront with fresh and anointed voices resembling those of great reformers like Martin Luther, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, Jr. We will see the spirit of Freedom manifest and deliver God’s people from yokes of oppression.

· The reformation process has begun in the Church and as she is resurrected with new life, she can bring a greater measure of transformation into the earth.

· America is suffering from an identity crisis and the Church is being given the opportunity to help restore the foundations of her glory. God wants to release His redemptive plan for America and the Church is His instrument.

· The infiltration of foreign gods is birthing a new era of apostasy and rebellion. There is an increase of sexual liberation, drug and alcohol abuse, defiling uncleanness, and violence in the land. The Church must STAND against these corruptions and set a holy standard, wearing the garments of unconditional love while fulfilling the Great Commission.

· The popularity of Hostels is on the rise not only in America but across the globe. They offer an alternative to traditional Hotel rooms at a more affordable price and in this economy the discounts are pleasing to travelers. However, caution should be taken because of the risks and influences associated with group living and shared space. The spiritual implications could be staggering.

· Pray for our President and those seated in authority in our nation’s capital. Reformation is promised and we need to press in and see it through.

· There is a strangle hold of the occult in the very foundations of Washington, DC and the Church needs to keep praying for God’s leaders to rise up on the mountain (Government) and establish the atmosphere of heaven once again. A unified voice crying out for Righteousness, Truth, and Justice is needed and the altars erected to foreign gods need to be dismantled!

· ‘Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord’are the first words to the song, ‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’. This song is known as an American Abolitionist song that was written during the American Civil War and Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke those same words at his last public speech given the night before he was assassinated. This song is being revived in the spirit of Freedom and appropriately fitting for what God’s plan is for 5770/2010. The #70 represents the end of captivity, Hallel! and that is God’s promise for America and her people ‘if we will humble ourselves and pray, and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear us and forgive our sins and heal our land (paraphrased from 2Chronicles 7:14). God wants to REVIVE America and it must be birthed in prayer. Lord, teach us how to pray!
