"Now, why do you cry out loudly? Is there no
king among you, or has your counselor perished, that agony has gripped you
like a woman in childbirth? Writhe and labor to give birth, daughter of
Zion, like a woman in childbirth; for now you will go out of the city, dwell
in the field, and go to Babylon. There you will be rescued; there the LORD
will redeem you from the hand of your enemies." Micah 4:9-10
Becoming a spiritual champion simply means yielding ourselves so that the
Great Champion of Heaven can express Himself through us. Moses gave up the
luxury and extravagant lifestyle of Egypt in order to bear the reproach
and identity of God's people. In so doing he initiated a spiritual principle.
The more fully one yields in sacrificially giving themselves to the identity
of Jesus, the greater the spiritual opportunity.
Our call is to be the representation of Heaven on earth. From among the
nations of the earth God chose Israel...from among the Israelites God identified
the tribe of Levi. Furthermore, from the tribe of Levi the Lord awarded
the descendants of Zadok a special place at His table because of their loyalty
and faithfulness during times of apostasy and infidelity. This reality points
to the remnant of a remnant of a remnant. Those who remain constant and
dedicated to the anointing of God receive a specific blessing of grace and
favor. Endowments of His Spirit will be imparted to empower us to overcome
the oppressions of this world and become the representation of Heaven on
earth.
In the midst of a society characterized by Babylonian confusion, a body
of believers will emerge, having become victorious, who embody the virtues
of the "overcomers." The Bible declares that the Lord jealously desires
the anointing He has placed within us (James 4:5). Resident within the heart
of the Father are His thoughts for this generation. The Spirit searches
the depths of God's heart to reveal the hidden secrets of His plans and
purposes.
Time is
Measured
In a prophetic experience I once saw the Lord holding a 12 inch ruler in
His hand. I asked what the ruler represented and He said, "Time -- for time
is measured."
In the same fashion
that we measure the height and width of something with a measuring rod,
so also has the Father measured an allotment of time in order to accomplish
His plan of redemption. While He viewed the beginning of the measuring rod,
He could also see the end.
At the same moment that He examined the creation and life of Adam, He also
viewed the latter days and the generation ordained to live in the end-time.
While He was viewing the life of the Patriarchs, He was also examining the
latter day leaders who would carry His anointing for His grand finale. He
knew the end from the beginning and specifically imparted a seed of destiny
into the hearts of a generation to emerge at the end of time to become the
champions of Heaven.
Before He ever fashioned the earth He foresaw an "overcoming" generation
who would embody His nature and power. From this posture of sovereignty,
the Lord ordained a plan of victory that we are now beginning to experience.
That is His plan of destiny.
A Woman
of Destiny
Resident in one of the most often quoted stories in the Bible is a profound
spiritual reality with direct application for today. In John 4 the Bible
records one of the most phenomenal encounters with the Lord Jesus and a
woman to whom the Scriptures do not give a name -- we only know her as the
"woman at the well."
What an incredible privilege that was given to this precious woman to have
a face-to-face encounter with the King of Glory. On this fateful day the
Lord sent his disciples away and waited at a well for this little lady to
make her routine visit to draw water.
One can only speculate if this precious woman knew if something uniquely
qualified this day as one of the most phenomenal in her life. We can only
wonder if that morning seemed odd or unique when she was awakened to the
eastern sun. Without question, that day marked a point of demarcation in
her life and transformed not only her, but an entire city.
All the days the Lord
walked the earth were ordained and specifically orchestrated by the Holy
Spirit. Therefore we confidently recognize the strategy of Heaven in the
awakening of the singular destiny resident in this precious woman on this
fateful day. Before the foundation of the world, a seed of destiny was imparted
into this woman that was to be awakened in a unique fashion (Ephesians 1:4).
A Prophetic
Model
The Lord has made it profoundly clear to us that this encounter is a prophetic
model for the awakening of the Western Church in this generation. In many
ways, the Western Church can be characterized with the life of this woman.
It seems we have been married to many things except the very purpose for
which we were created. We have married denominations, movements, and different
expressions of revival and failed to join ourselves to the One who sent
these awakenings to us.
The day has now arrived, however, that seeds of destiny are to be inflamed
through the model demonstrated in John 4. The Lord could have chosen any
expression of His power to capture the attention of this woman. However,
He simply articulated the secrets of her heart and accomplished the will
of the Father.
The meeting at the well was not a random encounter. It was divinely orchestrated
in order to awaken within this woman a seed of destiny imparted to her before
the foundation of the world. The Lord had an appointment with this woman
to bring her to the awareness of her destiny. To her was given one of the
greatest privileges ever bestowed upon an individual.
It was given to her to have an individual face-to-face conversation with
the King of Glory. What an awesome privilege! It is significant that the
Lord utilized His revelatory knowledge to awaken this woman to the purpose
of Heaven.
This prophetic model will also awaken the Western church to her destiny!
The Lord Jesus engaged the revelatory realm of Heaven to access the seed
of destiny resident in this woman although she was covered with failure,
disillusionment, and shame. It is impossible for us to become spiritual
champions relying upon our own strength and virtue. Spiritual victory is
the result of an impartation from Heaven, allowing the Lord to express His
virtue and characteristics through an overcoming body of believers.
The Living
Word
Her exclamation that she knew a Messiah would someday come to reveal the
secrets of the heart and do supernatural things expressed the foreknown
seed of destiny. Like the woman at the well, when the Western Church experiences
the revelatory realm of Heaven that displays the secrets of the heart, according
to Hebrews 4:12, it will likewise awaken her to supernatural faith that
will win our nation.
"For the word of God is living and active and
sharper than any two edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of
soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts
and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight,
but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have
to do." Hebrews 4:12-13
This little woman became an awesome evangelist because of the supernatural
faith imparted to her by her encounter at the well. Clearly she had previously
known the sorrow of shame and failure, yet the Lord recognized a great destiny
that could only have been supernaturally discerned. This woman was the Lord's
choice to awaken the area of Samaria to a day of visitation. The Bible tells
us that the entire city came out to hear the testimony of Christ because
of the word of this woman.
Our primary purpose is to identify the hidden seed of destiny inherent in
the champions of this generation. They presently do not have the appearance
or résumé of a champion, but, like this little woman, they carry a seed
of purpose and destiny that will be awakened to spiritual greatness.
It is the Living Word being manifested Who reveals and discerns the thoughts
and intents of the heart, distinguishing spirit from soul. That is the revelatory
realm of Heaven! All things are open and lay bare before the One to Whom
we have to do; there is nothing hidden from His sight.
However, when manifested, it will reap the same benefits as it did with
the Samaritan village. This little woman became a champion of Heaven because
of her encounter with the Lord at the well. The Lord Jesus is the Light
of the world. When His light strikes the seeds of destiny inherent in a
generation, it will awaken them to a life of victory and an army of champions
will emerge.
His revelatory light of His end-time plan is being revealed and igniting
the souls of people to become the champions they have been ordained to be.

"I do not know what I may appear
to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing
on the seashore and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble
or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the Great Ocean of Truth lay all
undiscovered before me."
- Sir Isaac Newton
An ocean of divine truth is waiting to be discovered. An unprecedented
display of God's power and authority are about to take place in the church.
In this fascinating book, Paul Keith Davis reveals how those anointed with
the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation will see an awesome demonstration of
God's glory in the coming days.
"God
is about to raise the bar on revelatory ministry. Just as He did by making
sure that none of Samuel's words went unfulfilled, an acceleration in the
prophetic community is about to occur.
"Over the next several years, we will see a generation of 'throne room'
prophets emerge. Their words will be more powerful than any that have been
spoken in recent years. Their accuracy will be deadly. Today's prophetic
community will be as small children who are like kindergarteners compared
to the college-level expressions that will come. Their prophetic utterances
will make the ears of the world tingle, just as Samuel's did. These throne-room
prophets will receive their power through their intimacy with the majesty
of God.
"In Engaging the Revelatory Realm of Heaven, Paul Keith Davis
sheds light about this new level of revelatory ministry that will be built
on intimacy with a majestic picture of God's throne. His book describes
the great call on those who long to engage with the revelatory realm of
Heaven. Their words, forged in the throne room of God, will cause the ears
of many to tingle. Tingling ears will lead to pricked consciences, which
will lead to penitent hearts. And penitent hearts will lead to a renewed
world.
"May God's face shine on you as you read Engaging the Revelatory Realm
of Heaven by my friend, Paul Keith Davis. I pray that it will call
you into a great life of intimacy, service, kindness, and friendship with
God." - John Paul Jackson, Streams Ministries

"We
are also pleased to announce that the book the Lord commissioned us to write
is now complete and available. We sincerely pray the Lord will use it to
open fresh dimensions of His Presence and power to the hungry and desperate
believer. He promised to satisfy those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
and intimacy with Him. As important as winning the lost and healing the
sick clearly is, there is an even greater mandate being imparted to this
generation. That is to know Him as intimately and personally as He may be
known and live in that place of fellowship. How can we fully be His representation
on the earth if we are not intimately acquainted with Him and His heart
for our generation?" - Paul Keith Davis
"The contents of this book contain open revelations
from God Himself. It is much more than a glimpse into the secret places.
It is also a full view on how to become an 'overcomer.' You will find within
the pages of this book why Paul Keith walks in 'Christ-likeness'. I have
been stirred by his life, and now I am stirred by his book." -

The term "Shepherd's Rod" comes
from Ezekiel 20:37 stating, "and I shall make you pass under the rod, and
I shall bring you into the bond of the covenant." This Scripture symbolically
portrays a shepherd extending his rod as the sheep pass under his staff
for evaluation. In this same way we, as the Lord's sheep, pass under His
staff during this season as further described in Jeremiah 33:13 and Leviticus
27:32.
The purpose of this booklet is to simply outline the revelations that were
received on that date in order to Biblically convey the revelation to the
believer. It is not the intent of this outline to completely cover all the
truth associated with these revelations. It would take a large book to adequately
elaborate on and communicate all of the Biblical truth realized through
these revelations.
It is our prayer that the believer will study these revelations during the
course of this year to extract all the understanding the Spirit of Truth
will reveal. Much of the truth given in the Shepherd's Rod is like seed
that, once planted, requires time to develop and mature. These revelations
apply to the year that it is given and the years that follow as each revelation
provides greater clarity and focus for the Lord's heart for this generation.
