Jesse Shamp and Brian Britton: "A Fresh Season of Power, Favor, and Acceleration!" and "The Power of Winds and Wildfires"

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

These are two "power-packed" words by Jesse Shamp and Brian Britton... you'll be excited with both of these most encouraging words from these two authors who each share:

Are you ready for the next level in your calling and destiny? There will be many in this next season that will receive supernatural power, favor, and acceleration that will be activated in the secret place!

When the winds of Heaven catch the fire we carry, there is nothing that can contain or stop the ensuing burn.

As of late, we've received much prophetic exhortation for what the Lord is doing now and will continue to do in March and in this season of spring! I encourage you to grab hold of what the prophetic voices are saying in this season!

But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open. Matthew 6:6 AMP

Be willing to open the door and see what the Lord has in store for you! We are entering a fresh season of favor and already there is a brand new expectation in the Body for the greater things! The Lord spoke to me and said that there is going to be a new wave of signs and wonders in the Southwest, especially in Arizona and California!

Are you ready for the next level in your calling and destiny? There will be many in this next season that will receive supernatural power, favor, and acceleration that will be activated in the secret place! God is looking for those in this next season that will open the door to the secret place and linger in His presence.

We need to properly posture ourselves for this coming time of power, encounters, favor, and acceleration. There are new mantles and anointings being released for the hungry!

We Must Have Purity of Heart

Great favor will be upon those with a pure heart. They will receive promotion and acceleration to bring them to the next level of blessing and favor in their specific callings. In order to step into these new realms, our hearts must be set on His presence. God is even releasing acceleration into the area of finances! Be expecting great change in this area in the coming months! I declare breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough! (Photo by Jennifer Page "Purity" via elijahshopper.com)

Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart... Psalm 24:3-4 AMP

God is raising up a generation that has no agenda other than to love on the King and serve Him. The Lord is looking for those that would be like David: those that are set on the face of God before promotion. David always had His heart set on the Lord's presence, and because his heart was pure, the Lord set him as king over Israel.

Supernatural favor is coming for those seek Him – favor no man can give you but will come only from God!

Power for the Hour

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. Psalm 91:1 AMP

This is a dream the Lord gave me many years ago, but the Lord has been reminding me of it recently. In the dream, I was traveling with an itinerant minister. This man had a ministry of miracles, signs, and wonders. I looked at my watch and realized there were only twenty minutes left until the meeting was to start. I went to the man's hotel room to knock on the door to tell him to quickly get ready before we were late! I reached my hand out to knock on the door, and suddenly the door opened wide and I saw the man on his face ministering before the Lord in the secret place; there was a cloud of glory in the room, a thick cloud of power! Then the Holy Spirit spoke in my ear and said, "He has been here for hours!"

The Lord was showing me that favor and power come from the secret place. That intimate time that we spend with the Lord is never wasted time. Yet, it is the very thing that produces power and favor in your life! Don't be afraid to set aside your busy schedule and spend a little extra time with God in this next season!

A Company of Worshipers

And Moses said unto God, "Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?" And He said, "Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain." Exodus 3:11-12 KJV

The word "serve" in this Scripture means "worshipper" in Hebrew. God set Moses aside to minister to Him through worship. I believe that God is calling forth a company of passionate worshipers with a mandate to serve and to minister to the King! Before David was king over Israel, he was first a worshiper. God is searching for those whom He can set aside to worship and minister to Him as Moses and David did. It will be these individuals that the Lord will promote and accelerate in the coming years! God is going to begin to release acceleration over individuals that are pressing into their callings and destinies in 2015! There is great grace for pursuing destiny in this year! 2015 is a door of destiny and opportunity for many!

A Vision of the Flame

Recently I was ministering in a local church in Campinas, Brazil, with my good friend Mel Tari. While there, the pastor asked us if we saw anything in the Spirit regarding his church or if either of us had a word for the church. As we began to pray for the pastor and his church, I began to see an open vision. After returning home and further prayer, I believe what I saw is a word for the greater Body of Christ during this season. It is for this reason that I felt led to share this with you today.

I saw a beautiful, young lady walking along a path, leaving the confines of a building, and passing through a gate. As she walked, I noticed that she was holding in her right hand a small stick and that at the end of the stick was a fire. I became aware that the young lady represented the Bride of Christ or the Church of this generation. This was not a torch she was carrying by any means, but rather a simple stick. Although the fire was small on the end of the stick, it was made known to me that it was the very fire of God.

I could sense a hint of fear in the young lady as she was seeing the greatness of the land before her that she was venturing into. She felt as if the fire she carried was way too insignificant to be used to make much of a difference in the dark and thickly forested terrain before her. Beyond the forest were great cities and all she had was this simple little flame with which to fulfill her purpose and complete her given task. (Photo via Pixabay)

...Add the Power of the Wind

Then I looked with eyes of the Spirit and I saw the wind begin to blow. I was not just seeing the effects of the wind blowing, but I could actually see the wind itself. It was the winds of Heaven, and I felt that it was the breath of God. I felt that God was showing me that He was breathing into the situation and the life of the young lady – into the life of the Bride. The wind of the Spirit caught the flame of her little fire and proceeded to spread that flame with great speed. From this seemingly small source there was soon a mighty wildfire raging throughout the land. It began in the thick forest and spread into the cities beyond. With the power of the wind behind it, there was no stopping the spreading of what became a great and all-consuming holy fire.

I believe that sometimes the Church and many individuals often feel overwhelmed by the task of our generation and the callings on our lives. Maybe you too have felt that the challenges and obstacles before you seem too great? God speaks and gives us hope! I feel that God was showing us that no matter how small the fire which you carry may seem, it is still the fire of God Himself, and in this generation and hour He is breathing on the fire of the Bride. When the winds of Heaven catch the fire we carry, there is nothing that can contain or stop the ensuing burn.

His love is the flame, and it is indeed the most powerful force in the Universe. It brings life to the people and things of God and destruction to the forces of darkness. As a carrier of His Holy Fire, be encouraged in this windy season! This is the season of the wildfire of revival and renewal that will cover the earth and continue to usher in this great harvest among our families, communities, and the nations. (Photo via Pixabay)

As we leave the confines of church buildings and institutions and go with the good news of the Kingdom, He is faithful to bring increase. The winds are blowing and will continue to blow...run with your flame and trust His Spirit to ignite the blaze!
