Danny
Steyne: "THE YEAR OF THE FATHERS AND THE FINALS--TRANSFORMATION,
REVOLUTION, UPHEAVAL, AND CREATION"
"Many of the things the Lord
is bringing about is to 'clear the table' for the 'table that He is about to
set!'"
Visitation from
a Heavenly Messenger
As I prepared to go to bed on December 28, 2006, an angel appeared in the hallway
of our home; very quickly he made himself known and then was gone. I knew that
something was going to occur and this was simply a messenger sent to let me know
that I needed to be alert.
As I laid down to sleep, the Lord spoke a Spanish word to me. One that I didn't
know, "Hecho!" It would not leave me, although I knew it was Spanish. I got up
and discovered that the word really has at least three meanings--meanings which
I believe are significant to us this coming year.
I do believe the fact that
since this was given in Spanish, it indicates much of this will initiate in the
Spanish-speaking community first. The word means an "event," it also means
"fact," and it also can mean "done!" (What I am sharing, I am not sharing by
knowledge of the Spanish word, but rather simply revelation, there may be many
other meanings to the word that I don't know about!)
I believe we are pressing into an Event so great, that it will define "what was,"
from "what is!" There will be tumultuous and significant changes that will
literally change the face of geography (i.e. how the world looks), "politic-graphy" (i.e. how politics operate), and
"Church-ography" (i.e. how the
Church operates).
This shift is already taking place, but there will be an escalation. Events will
transform these areas--events of circumstance, nature, and necessity. The word
speaks of a "fact" being that these events are simply realities, not events
undone, but events to prepare for. They also are indications of the event that
will bring in the desire of the whole earth (Romans 8:22). For we know that even
the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as
they await this great event.
Transformation, Revolution, Upheaval, and Creation
When I heard the word, I also heard Daniel 8:19, "And he said,
'Behold, I am going
to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it
pertains to the appointed time of the end.'" Although we have seen much of the
"Kairos" moment occurring in the earth, there will be a quickening of
that, and what we thought was direction, we will find was only threshold.
Where
we have been, even the new things that God has been doing in the Church, are
simply threshold events to help us embrace what is yet to come. The strides
ahead of us are ten times and a hundred times further down the road of God's
purposes than we have walked already. Change is not the correct word for what
will happen.
Transformation, revolution, upheaval, and creation are better terms. The Creator
God will reveal Himself by not simply "altering directions," but by
demonstrating powerful releases of new things.
Numbers 16:30, "But if the LORD
brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and swallows
them up with all that is theirs, and they descend alive into sheol, then you
will understand that these men have spurned the LORD."
And Isaiah 42:9, "Behold,
the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they
spring forth I proclaim them to you."
Just as the events of--The Holy Spirit
coming like wind and fire, the correction of Ananias and Sapphira, the Gospel to
the Gentiles, the raising of the dead, the working of the shadows of the
Apostles, the meetings house to house, and other early Church events, all indicated a
"new thing" to that generation which produced remarkable fruit.
So too, there
will be "new things" released to the Church this year that will produce the same
kind of remarkable fruit. Some of the events will be "positive," some will be
"negative." But the fruit will be the evidence that God, the Creator, is at work
doing new things.
Political upheaval is going to mirror down--those who enter the fray of politics
will soon find that people's hearts will not support the same old thing. They
will see politicians as mirrors of predecessors and choose new leaders who will
not approach things in the same way. True kingly love for people is going to
enter the hearts of some political figures and it will be noticed by all as
love. In fact, it will rally multiple political views of people because of the
effectiveness of it. This is not an anti-Christ spirit, but rather a reflection
of a son who has walked with God and will lead with precision and love.
New Releases to the Church
"His people will not be devoid of
Holiness, Power, and Love."
In the realm of the Church, there will be significant movement away from
"form" and
into "power." God's people will not dumb down anymore to watered down beliefs and
doctrines of men. They will realize and speak boldly to those who are
"holding
to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such
men" 2 Timothy 3:5. As a result, there will be significant attrition in those
places who provide a place of rest for God's people, rather than providing a
place of rest for God.
Some significant structures will be left with a handful
to try and carry the bills. In time, these structures will be turned over to the
unrighteous who will have no use for them and grant them to the emerging Church
to maintain. The Lord will have the last laugh. Those who reject His Presence
will find themselves seated by Him to witness the Power of Him. God will not be
mocked. His Church will not be a mockery, and His people will not be devoid of
Holiness, Power, and Love.
I then heard, "a storm from the south will consume the dross of the north!" The
winds from the south represent a release of "warmth" that is coming. South Wind
represents His Power. The direction of God's Power is directed towards the
warmth of His Love. His Love is going to prevail on the North and produce
stillness in the atmosphere as it occurs. This stillness will be a "pause," and
as such will be a profound "event" that sets it apart from the rest of the year.
Psalm 78:26, "He caused the east wind to blow in the Heavens; And by His power He
directed the south wind."
Job 37:14-17, "Listen to this, Stand and consider the
wonders of God. Do you know how God establishes them, And makes the lightning
of His cloud to shine?
Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds, The
wonders of one perfect in knowledge, You whose garments are hot, When the land
is still because of the south wind?"
There will be a "finality" in the Heavens. Many of the things the Lord is
bringing about is to "clear the table" for the "table that He is about to set!"
This reminded me of a vision years ago, when the Lord spoke to me about the
finality of His decision to separate the hot from the cold in His Church. It
happened quickly, decisively, and without emotion from the Lord.
A Vision of
Young Converts--We are All Involved
"The Lord said that everyone
would be involved in His True Church."
Another vision
given in the early 1990's showed the dramatic salvation of the young converts to
the Lord. In the vision, I was in a warehouse that was then our facility. People
were divided into three groups.
The first group were those who went out and gathered "babies" in
wheelbarrows. They returned with their wheelbarrows full that they would "dump" onto
the floor of the facility. When the babies fell, they immediately stood up tall and
become young men and women "fully trained."
The second group was the group
responsible for their care and training.
The third group was a group of
intercessors and healers who prayed vigilantly for those going out, those coming
to know Jesus, and those caring for the new Christians.
The Lord said that
everyone would be involved in His True Church. There was no spectatorship at
all. To be a Christian was to "function," not simply adhere to a belief system.
Soon the place was filled to overflowing with young, but apparently mature,
believers. They were fully prepared for the "event" that was going to result in
His Name being made more famous than anything existing in the world, in both
historical terms, current iconic figures, and top story current news. There was
a "pause" before they left.
As I watched the vision, which was in "cartoon"
form, I saw the "Sun" (Son) smiling over the situation, realizing that
everything was prepared.
The Lord's Table is Set
"The supper of the Lamb--the
food that lasts for eternity!"
The Lord is setting up a table--His table to feed to His People.
John 4:34-36, "Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to
accomplish His work.'
Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then
comes the harvest?' Behold, I say to you, 'Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields, that they are white for harvest.'
Already he who reaps is receiving
wages, and is gathering fruit for life eternal; that he who sows and he who
reaps may rejoice together."
The sustenance of God's people is not physical
provision, but rather Heavenly fruit. The table to be set is not merely a "physical provision" for us, it is in fact the supper of the Lamb--the food that
lasts for eternity! The promises of God for receiving life and prosperity
are based upon "observing" the Word that is being proclaimed in our hearts. The ringing word of Heaven that says,
"This is the way, walk ye in
it!"
The most significant release for us is simply obeying the Voice of the Lord
as He speaks to us. It is time to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit as
He sets before us His Table!
Deuteronomy 30:14-20, "But the word is very near
you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it. See, I have
set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity; in that I
command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His
commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply,
and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to
possess it.
But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are
drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that
you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong your days in the land where you
are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.
I call Heaven and earth to
witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the
blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your
descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by
holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you
may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, to give them."
The Charge before us is that we not forsake the callings and purposes of God on
our lives: 2 Chronicles 13:10-11, "But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we
have not forsaken Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the LORD as
priests, and the Levites attend to their work.
And every morning and evening
they burn to the LORD burnt offerings and fragrant incense, and the showbread is
set on the clean table, and the golden lampstand with its lamps is ready to
light every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God, but you have
forsaken Him."
We are to set the elements of God onto a "clean table," not simply
mingled in with things that are not from God. When Jesus cleared the tables, and
the money changers, and the temple, it was with intention to do what He planned to do with that Temple--for
it to become a "House of
Prayer."
There can be no "co-existence" with darkness. Light exposes and
expunges darkness totally. The release before us is a "pure" release, based not
on personalities, not on models, not on forms, not on styles, not on structures,
but rather on a Person and His Presence-- Jesus! He Himself is assembling this
great supper for us and His angels have been sent out to proclaim it!
Revelation
19:9, "And he said to me, 'Write, "Blessed are those who are invited to the
marriage supper of the Lamb."' And he said to me, 'These are true words of
God.'"
Revelation 19:17, "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried
out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, 'Come,
assemble for the great supper of God.'"
This supper is the supper prepared from
the Foundation of the World!
Matthew 25:34, "Then the King will say to those on
His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world.'"
The Year of Fathers
"The Fathers will remember age
old promises that they have forgotten, because they were hidden for this
generation, and they will be released."
One other significant word that the Lord spoke to me is that this will be the
Year of the Fathers! This will be a year where "True Fathers" will begin stepping
into the role of fathering as has been prophesied over some of them for years.
Many of them are old. Several are near Heaven's door, but this will be a year
where the blessings of Fathers will be released to God's people.
Just as
Abraham, Isaac, and Israel gave blessings to their children, these fathers are
going to "transmit" and "impart" true authority and promise to their children
that will occur almost instantly. The Fathers will remember age old promises
that they have forgotten, because they were hidden for this generation, and they
will be released.
When I began seeing this word about the Fathers, I realized that many had been
set aside, discarded, and devalued by younger aspiring leaders. Many of them, in
fact, had given these younger leaders their own ministries, only to find they
would be later shunned along with their wisdom.
My heart broke as I saw it, and
then I realized this was a part of the "separation" that was occurring to
produce the purity that God desired. Those who paid no price for their
"positions" would find that they could not hold their "positions" when the Lord
brought about His clear purposes and direction for His Church, because they
don't carry the wounds of Jesus in their lives!
These spiritual fathers found "sheep not of this fold" who saw them as true
fathers and it was there that the release for them came. Repeatedly the Lord
spoke, "The sons are not the fathers...let the fruit bear witness!" The fruit He
spoke of was the fruit of disciples, not converts, not fame, and not crowds.
The
fruit was those pursuing the Heart of God with all their hearts even into every
facet of society and the Nations.
The Lord ordered me to "Honor Fathers this year!" I believe the time has come
for God's people to sustain those who are true spiritual fathers. Many have even
been discarded in their old age to "fend for themselves," and some have even had
to pursue a living as young men, not because they were faithless, but rather
that the Church had no value of honoring those who served well. This error will be exposed this year, and their will be sons who will weep for
the trauma they put their fathers through--knowing their failure also resulted
in the blessing being given to another.
Matthew 15:4-9, "For God said, 'HONOR
YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, and, HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIM
BE PUT TO DEATH.'
But you say, 'Whoever shall say to his father or mother,
"Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God," he is
not to honor his father or his mother.' And thus you invalidated the word of God
for the sake of your tradition.
You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy
of you, saying, 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR
AWAY FROM ME. BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE
PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"

Danny Steyne's book,
When Bruised Reeds Break, is the best book for expressing the heart of
God for broken people I have ever read... I was moved to tears as I read Danny's
story... I highly recommend this book to every pastor, elder, deacon, and anyone
else wondering about the heart of God and the issues pertaining to restoration. --From the Foreword by Randy Clark
God
has reserved the greatest wave of His Spirit for a radical, postmodern
generation that will walk the earth in these last days.
The stories of long-forgotten saints are an arsenal for this hour. Fiery men
and women with divine encounters and Heavenly visitations. Their individual lives serve as a blueprint for an entire company of warriors who will wear those same ancient power mantles, perform the same bizarre feats, and achieve even greater exploits to bring in the end-time harvest of souls. Get ready for the equipping of a lifetime!?
--Steve Shultz, The Elijah List
"The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind"
"This
book will rock your boat and set you ablaze with world-changing faith! Lethal!
The contents are dangerous in the hands of believing believers--this book could
start another reformation--or even greater! Shake off doubt and unbelief and
take the plunge into a life of supernatural activity all centered around a
supernatural God!" --James W. Goll, Encounters Network
"Only
a man who lives and moves in the presence of the God of revelation could write
this book. And those who read it will find that same revelation flowing out from
them into the streets and beyond--to the next generation. The reformation that
Bill Johnson started with his first book is sure to be accelerated with this
one. We recommend it with all our hearts." --Wesley and Stacey Campbell,
Founders, Be a Hero, Producers and Authors of Praying the Bible
