Matt Sorger:
"12 Prophetic Sign Posts for 2007--Including
Media, Youth Movement, and Emergence of New Leaders and Mantles!"
As I was waiting on the Lord for several days,
His presence became very strong upon me. While in the midst of this Open Heaven, the Holy Spirit began to drop
things into my spirit that we can be expecting and looking for in the coming
days. Some God will do sovereignly, and some will be ushered in through the
prayers of the saints.
Some of the things the Lord spoke to me for 2006 will continue in 2007 (click
here to view
previously published word).
Here are 12 Prophetic Sign Posts to be Looking for and
Praying into:
1. Media outreach will continue to expand and grow in 2007 in both the Christian
and secular arena.
New media outreaches will be birthed this year. Those whom
God has spoken to will begin to take significant steps in walking out the vision
of God's heart for the glorification of Jesus through the media airwaves. It
will be a year where God's power is displayed over the secular networks.
Radio,
TV, and internet will be important media tools for expanding the gospel around
the world. There is coming a new thrust in world evangelization through these
media outlets. God is going to give creative ideas on how to present the gospel
in new and impacting ways.
In this last season, the Spirit has chosen certain
ones to carry a new media mantel upon their lives. That anointing will begin to
manifest more and more this year. We will see a "media revival." God is calling
us to use every form of technology possible.
Hollywood is on God's map. Well-known people in the public eye will come to
the faith in Christ. Out of their sense
of emptiness, they will turn to the Lord. We must pray for this. Hollywood will
see an invasion of "Holy-wood." Key Scriptures: Matthew 24:14.
2. There is a "Greater Sifting" still to come.
Recently, I was caught into a vision
where I saw a dove lighting upon a woman dressed as a bride--it was the Body of
Christ. The Dove came and drove her into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit spoke
to me and said, "The sifting is not over. Tell My people not to be shaken by the
shaking that is coming." Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. God is
bringing a wave of sifting and purification into the Body, so that we are
prepared for the Greater Glory that is coming.
There is coming a greater sifting
in the evangelical segment of the Body of Christ. The Catholic Church has been
sifted and is ready for a new wave of revival. The Protestant Church is now
being sifted in preparation for a greater glory. In order to receive the level
of glory and empowerment God wants to give us in this next season, we must first
allow Him to sift our hearts, so that we are ready to carry the greater glory.
Embracing the cross will be essential in this season if we are to also embrace
the resurrection power that is coming upon us. It is deeper refinement, for
deeper purity, and for deeper glory.
Key Scriptures: Mark 1:12-13.
3. It is important to understand the various wildernesses that God walks us
through.
One is a wilderness of transition. The other is a wilderness of
testing. Another is a wilderness of consecration. The fourth is a wilderness of
intimacy. And the fifth is the wilderness of rebellion--this fifth wilderness, we
lead ourselves into by our own actions and choices. The first four God leads us
into.
In this next season, many will be crossing-over out of the wilderness of
transition, and into the fulfillment of promises causing them to receive their
inheritance (Exodus 13:17-21; Joshua 3).
The wilderness of consecration and
intimacy will be important to continually cultivate in our lives
(Hosea 2:14-22;
Mark 1:35; Luke 1:80). The wilderness of testing is where I see the Spirit
driving the Church in preparation for the power we are about to come under.
What God wants to do in the Church will far surpass anything we have read about
in our history books.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-15.
4. The season of mixture is over.
This began in 2006 and will continue in 2007.
God is establishing a pure, strong foundation upon which He can build His Church in this next season. There is a new inward standard of righteousness being
raised up. We must be careful to guard our "eye gates" as darkness continues to
increase in the world around us. God is looking for purity of thought, word, and
deed.
There is a greater separation from the world coming in response to the
greater exposure of hidden sin and corruption.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:22-23.
5. There is coming a new standard in the healing movement.
God is raising the bar of our faith to
believe for greater miracles and works of glory. There is a new mantle of power
and glory coming.
The Lord recently spoke to me in a dream. In this dream, the Lord communicated to me that there is
coming a new mantle of glory and power upon the Church for those who will be
ready for it. This mantle will be characterized by deep intimacy with the Holy
Spirit, and great power releasing greater miracles, as well as bringing an
increase in the number of people healed.
The new standard for the healing
ministry will be "Jesus healed them ALL."
Key Scriptures: Matthew 8:16; Matthew 12:15; Acts 5:15-16.
6. The youth movement will continue to gain momentum and speed.
There will be a
call to prayer and a lifestyle of holiness. The Holy Spirit will breathe upon
youth gatherings this year. Among the young people, there will be an uprising and
a call to holiness and truth, in response to the hidden sin that will be
exposed. The holiness movement will take deeper roots in this generation of
young people.
A new breed will continue to emerge as leaders. This will be a
"full gospel" generation embracing the totality of the gospel message. They will
walk in the prophetic, healing and deliverance, and will be deeply grounded in
prayer, holiness, and the word. They will carry the message of the "full gospel."
The intercession movement will join forces with the power movement releasing a
greater glory upon the Church.
Key Scriptures: 1 Timothy 4:12-16; Matthew 10:7-8; 1
Thessalonians 4:1-8.
7. New leaders will continue to emerge and come to a place of influence in the
Body of Christ as "Fathers and Sons" are brought together.
Key associations and
relationships will emerge and be formed by the Spirit releasing a new generation
of leaders. The apostolic will continue to mature and come into a greater
manifestation. God is forming a new wineskin to hold the new wine.
There will
also be the emerging of young apostolic leaders who will be regionally minded in
building the Kingdom of God. Regional Centers will be birthed that cross
denominational lines bringing the corporate Body of Christ together.
Key Scriptures: Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 9:17.
8. God is not looking for carbon copies--He wants originals.
He is raising up a
new breed, a new model, and a new "container for the time." Be careful to allow
the Holy Spirit to flow through you in the unique way that He desires. Guard
against comparison, and be yourself!
Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 10:12; Matthew 9:17.
9. A new mass deliverance anointing is coming.
God is going to release such a
level of His glory, that entire groups of people will be delivered in mass, in a
single moment. Deep bondages will be broken that are ingrained in the sinful
nature.
The Holy Spirit will teach people how to live in this new level of
freedom. Those that have been struggling in areas of their lives for years, will
find the freedom they are longing for.
Key Scriptures: Isaiah 61:1; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 3:16-18.
10. God is repairing broken foundations--it will be a year of restoration.
Many
who have experienced brokenness in the last season, will come into a time of
restoration. It will be a time of strengthening the foundation and returning to
a place of "first love" with the Lord. It will be important to have a very
solid, strong foundation for the days ahead.
Those who allow "cracks" in their
foundations will experience greater brokenness. This brokenness will lead to a
deeper turning to the Lord in complete surrender.
Key Scriptures: Psalm 51:10, 17; Isaiah 61:4.
11. It will be very important what we sow during this season.
We have entered
into a season of quick sowing and reaping. Just as Isaac sowed into the land of
his inheritance and in the same year reaped a hundredfold return, there will be
quick reaping for the seeds we sow. This spiritual law will be seen with both
positive and negative seeds.
Be guarded and careful with what seeds we sow. Be
especially careful in the area of inward attitudes and judgments made against
others. With the measure we judge others, it will be measured back to us.
You can
expect a quick harvest of seeds sown in every area of your life, including
spiritual and practical. Key Scriptures: Genesis 26:12-13, Matthew 7:1-2.
12. There is coming a greater revelation of supernatural finances for the
end-time work of the gospel.
We will continue to see the manifestation of the
end-time transfer of wealth. More and more will walk with a generous spirit of
giving birthed out of supernatural revelation, and will see God as their Source
and Provider for the advancement of the Kingdom. Key Scriptures:
Isaiah 60:5; 2
Corinthians 9:6-11.
Closing Thoughts:
It is important that we allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts and make us
Kingdom ready in this next season. There is much the Holy Spirit wants to do, but
He needs yielded vessels that He can use and flow through.
There are no limits
in God, and I pray that as you yield to Him, you will experience His limitless
power this New Year. May the year 2007 be an Open Heaven for you!
Get your running shoes
on. This is a year for the Body of Christ to RUN in all God has put in our
hearts to do. He will give you "grace for the race" and empower you to finish
strong.
Please take the time to go through the Key Scriptures written above. Pray over
them, meditate in them, preach from them and allow the Holy Spirit to write them
upon your hearts.
God Bless,
