"WORD
OF THE LORD FOR 2006--
Released through the
Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders"
January 8 - 9, 2006
(Written and Compiled by the ACPE Roundtable
--Cindy Jacobs writing the Summary)
 Steve
Shultz on: THE "ACPE" ROUNDTABLE and THIS NEW WORD FOR 2006.
"The Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders" (ACPE) is the one main roundtable
I've been on for the last 3 - 4 years.
Many nationally known prophets and prophetic people are on this Roundtable. A
very incomplete list would include people such as: (off the top of my head so
this is just a few of the members): C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs,
Stacey Campbell, Dutch Sheets, Joseph Garlington, Harry Jackson, Bill Hamon,
James Goll, Lou Engle, Sharon Stone, and many more.
We felt a strong sense of unity as we pressed in this year to discover what is
on the heart of the Lord.
This year, we are reaching higher into ways to communicate more often
amongst
ACPE members, and through online means, such that we can seek agreement on many
words coming down the pike--even throughout the year. Not all words posted on
the Elijah List come from ACPE members of course--as The Elijah List dispenses
words from many "streams" that make Glad, the City of God
(Psalms 46:4).
This year, the meetings were held in Dallas, Texas, January 8 - 9, but because
we implemented this new system of checks and cross checks of all that we are
saying, it has taken this long to get
this word out to you. For this we apologize.
We pray that YOU will pray through these words and use them as intercessory ammunition to take them back to the Lord for
His help and wisdom in these things.
Blessings,

WORD OF THE LORD FOR 2006
This is the word given through a compilation of the prophetic
releases and consensus of the ACPE. There are differing variables
that can affect the timing and/or coming to pass of these words:
1) All prophecy not contained in scripture is conditional.
2) The timing that the prophecy comes to pass may not occur in
a one year time-frame.
3) It is possible that the prophetic warnings given may cause
the person or corporate nation to repent and thus turn away the
judgment prophesied. Biblically, this happened when Jonah prophesied
to Nineveh, and the city repented causing God to relent.
Key scripture passages for 2006: Isaiah 43:19 & Isaiah 35
The Shift of 2006
2006 will be a year of great shifting for the Body of Christ. He
wants to shift us into new wine for new moves of God. This shift
will require us to re-think, re-structure, and seek the Lord's face
as to how He wants us to function in the coming visitations of God.
The Lord is giving us new wine paradigms, extending to those in
marketplace ministries. This will result in shifting the way
companies are structured. God is going to help us work with better
efficiency if we will listen to His Voice. Take time to listen to
the Lord on how to shift into new wine on every level.
Isaiah 43:19 declares that God is doing a new thing. Do not get
stuck in old patterns and old ways of thinking. If you get stuck,
you will not reap the blessings of the new.
The right timing is important in 2006. With this new thing,
opportunities will come and go quickly. When they come, it is
important to "seize the moment" and not miss your window for change.
Being in the right place at the right time is essential.
Shifting to the new thing will bring an abundance of creativity in
business, technology, inventions, songs, ideas, and strategies.
2006 will be a year of completion in many areas. Family matters that
have been unsettled, areas of buying and selling, and many who have
been believing for their healing will receive it in completion. God
desires to completely heal those who have seemed to receive partial
healing.
New revelation will come with this shift. We will have more profound
accuracy and deeper revelation concerning how to use our weapons of
warfare more effectively. We will see breakthroughs in tough
situations. We will spoil the enemy this year and victory will be
sweet.
Kingdom Mix in '06
The focus this year will be on more kingdom growth than church
growth. What grows the kingdom will also grow local congregations.
This kingdom mix will be a reflection of the teaching of
Matthew
6:10, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on the earth as it is in
heaven."
A shift in teaching will reflect this kingdom mix with more leaders
teaching from the perspective of the Kingdom of God rather than
escapism.
Kingdom of God teachings will be mixed in many areas of society with
greater and greater frequency. Vision for the transformation of
cities, regions, and nations will begin to override and remove
denominational barriers that up until now have crippled the Church.
Proper alliances and coalitions will be key and instrumental during
this season. Some relationships based on old wine structures will
pass away and new relationships will form between like-minded
leaders, regardless of denominational or non-denominational
affinities.
Right alignment is essential. If we are not in proper alignment it
will cost us fruitfulness, health, a loss of revelation, and
destiny. Setbacks will begin for those who are not properly aligned.
Do not be afraid of change--there is a pruning that will take place
in all aspects of God's Kingdom.
In addition to pruning, God is going to stretch us to release a new
measure of faith. This faith is necessary to accomplish the shift He
is requiring of us, as well as the new dreams He will give us in
this season of new things.
God will raise up "kingdom-minded" leaders who will mix with all
aspects of society. This will be seen as apostles and prophets are
raised up in media, business, government, and other sectors of
society.
The kingdom mix will bring great fruit, but it will also provoke
opposition to the apostolic and prophetic movement. Do not be swayed
by this--stay the course.
The supernatural will be mixed into society as more and more
believers, in what has become known as the saints' movement, flow in
healing and miracles and other supernatural manifestations of the
Holy Spirit.
The youth particularly will move into this level of anointing.
2006 will be another “season of suddenlies”. The prophetic words of
past seasons will begin to see their fulfillments in this hour. The
Church is closing in on the “tipping point” through the accumulation
of intercession, worship, fasting, giving, etc., and the “bowl is
about to tip” in our favor.
University campuses will see great moves of God. Yale, North Texas
State University, the University of Texas, University of California
Los Angeles, and University of Southern California were mentioned
among others. The moves of God will by no means be limited to these
campuses.
This is the year that we will see the lid come off the youth
movement. There will be a literal explosion of power and grace among
the youth.
This is a year of a great transfer of wealth. God will begin to
reveal strategy on how to obtain and maintain wealth. As more and
more land is redeemed through intercession, we will see a shift in
ownership of property and minerals in the Body of Christ.
Holiness Movement
God is going to continue to expose sin in the church. There will be
new messages on holiness and repentance from the pulpits of the
nations. A "line in the sand" will be drawn by leaders who are
ethical and have the character of Christ. This line will once again
clearly delineate, in great love, the absolutes of right and wrong.
Young people will take up the torch and run across the nations with
this message of holiness and purity. This will cause the pendulum to
tip away from the current "no boundaries" thinking of this
generation. Young prophetic voices will rise up to speak the word of
the Lord to generations of all ages and be respected for their
wisdom even as the Lord Jesus spoke wisdom as a youth in the temple.
Young lions of the Lord will come to the forefront in Hollywood and
in media around the world. UCLA and USC film schools will be shaken
by the power of God as the Lord visits these campuses.
Admonitions
The Holy Spirit strongly spoke through several prophets that this
would be a year of further polarization. However, the Lord gave us
an admonition that we were not to become polarized or politicized.
We are to stand up for whatever the direction the Captain of the
Lord of Hosts shows us. Therefore, it is not the party line that we
should hold, but God's plumb line of purity. God reminded us that
righteousness and justice are the plumb line of His throne
(Isaiah
28:17).
There is coming a separation between the human government and the
government of God. However, there is a strong sense that God is
coming to deal with the Left Wing if they continue on their path leading
to unrighteousness.
Spiritual Trends that we see on the forefront…
The Civil Rights Movement in America
There is a new wineskin being formed for the Civil Rights Movement
in America. New leadership will rise up who will establish God's
righteousness and justice. The movements that are not established on
both righteousness and justice will not prosper.
Cultural evangelism that reaches unbelievers through culturally
relevant means of communication with life-transforming messages will
come to the forefront. This will involve use of many channels of
communication, including film, television, and fiction with
sympathetic roles and characters that will provide a modeling of
righteousness for society.
Societal transformation and evangelism will increase.
The seven major molders of society will be touched through this
movement: family, religion, government, business, education, arts,
and media.
The leaders of the Body of Christ are being called to a focus on
legacy and succession. This is part of the new wine shift. Leaders
who have formerly thought in a mono-generational mindset will mentor
those who are coming after them.
Young prophetic voices will arise who will speak the Word of the
Lord to nations and peoples as well as the Church world-wide.
The battle is going to get fierce on many fronts, but do not be
discouraged. There is going to be a fresh wind of grace that will
pour out on the lives of believers. The Lord is saying that He is
going to cause the faint to be encouraged and the weary to rise up
with new strength.
Put your "stake in the ground" in the midst of the whirlwind and see
God enlarge your boundaries (Isaiah 54:2).
Words for the United States
It is crucial to press in to see the abortion laws overturned. We
must pray harder than we ever have. Prayer for the mid-term
elections in 2006 is crucial if we are not to lose ground for
righteousness and justice in the nation. We must prepare also for
the 2008 elections.
There is a sensing that the prayer movement should not become weary
with guarding the nation from terrorism. America, you are once again
in the balance and intercessors must stand in the gap and pray.
The President, as David did in 1 Samuel 30, will “pursue and recover”
favor. He will gain even more if he takes the offensive with
compassion for those who have been abandoned.
Chicago
Seven different prophets had received a prophetic warning for
Chicago, including a warning sent from the leader of the Canadian
Prophetic Round Table. As we interceded, we felt to ask people to
pray specifically for the transportation systems and centers.
Africa
Africa shall blossom (Isaiah 35)! A strong prophetic dream was given
to one of our leaders that a four hundred year continental curse was
lifting that will mitigate against the desertification of the
continent. This will be specifically addressed through the building
of new dams and retention ponds. This will lead to the blossoming of
African agriculture. God wants the believers to be the stewards of
the land and agriculture as He gives this blessing.
In addition, economic leaders will rise out of Africa. New
leadership will come into place throughout the continent as God has
heard the prayers of His people. The continent of Africa is getting
ready to shift into a new wine anointing.
Ethiopia
This prophetic dream particularly applies to Ethiopia and the word
was that this nation will be a "first fruit" of the blossoming.
South Africa
Economic leaders will cause a shift in thinking concerning economic
structures. Great revelation will be poured out on the business
leaders with matching influence in the world.
Egypt
God is moving among the Orthodox Church in Egypt. There is an
Isaiah
19 highway of holiness that God is preparing and is supernaturally
connecting leaders with a focus and highlight on Egypt. Wonders will
break out from this nation. There is a "well of wonders" in Egypt
being opened in this season.
Europe
The Lord has not forgotten Europe. Europe is in the birth pangs of a
great move of the Holy Spirit.
England
More violence will attempt to come into England. It is time for a
new wine spirit of travail and intercession to come to the nation.
God is going to refresh the prayer movement with new strength to
stand and turn away the enemy at the gate.
2006 will be a year of transition for England. 2007 will end the
seventy year captivity of the influence of the spirit of religion on
the nation. After 2007 and the breaking of the spirit of religion,
revival will begin to take place.
France
I am raising up the spirit of the Huguenots once again out of
France. The Lord is going to heal the soul of France and the love of
God will be poured out upon the nation.
Scandinavia
God is going to raise up Holiness preachers that will turn the
hearts of the people and a new generation. Nations where couples
have lived together without the sanctity of marriage will be amazed
as the pendulum swings to righteousness and couples who lived
together in sin will run to obtain marriage licenses.
Sweden
Sweden will see a national move of the Holy Spirit. It will begin
with significant youth conferences and many young people will
receive deep and lasting impacts upon their lives and character.
Latin America
There will be civil unrest in differing nations of Latin America as
there is a polarization taking place. This will lead to violence, but
the Church is going to rise to a new level of authority. The Lord is
giving a new level of authority and many Godly leaders will start to
prepare themselves for the political arena. Doors will be open for
God’s people in the highest places of influence in all areas of
society. The prophetic voices in these nations will have open doors
to be heard by the kings and rulers.
Middle East
2006 will see the beginning of an incredible stirring among Ishmael;
an unprecedented revival is brewing and there will be a massive
turning to God in the Muslim world. The Church must prepare their
hearts to receive Ishmael who is also the seed of Abraham.
There is a spirit of jihad that has been loosed among the Islamic
world. This is a very violent spirit because it will particularly
stir up those who are already wounded and hurt either by reality or
perception of the western world in particular.
This principality will begin to cause those under its influence to
hit soft targets such as churches and Christians. We must pray for
the believers in the Middle East and Israel. Pray for protection for
Israel as a nation as well.
The EU (European Union) will become a target and will find that this jihad spirit
will turn itself against them as well. You will see this on the news
as the radical Muslims start to burn the EU and the American flag
together. The Church in Europe and around the world needs to be
vigilant at this time to turn the enemy back from their midst.
The Lord wants to cause a fresh awakening of prayer groups across
the face of the earth with an admonition to not be weary in well
doing.
