A Special Message from Steve Shultz:

This is the time when we begin to receive from our most credible writers the revelation they are receiving for the year ahead. In this case, the year 2005. You will receive several of these type of words in the coming days with God's clues, riddles, and outright prophecies for this coming year.

One prophet recently taught that the way you receive a prophecy in faith, at the moment it's given, will often determine its ultimate effect on your life. So, I want to encourage you to read these in faith and expectancy.

All of heaven is watching as you read God's promises through His prophets and prophetic people. They want to know how you will respond IN FAITH to what God is saying.

Remember, how you respond is very important, so get your faith in gear and here we go!

Blessings,

A TIME FOR TREASURES TO BE RELEASED -- KEY DREAMS AND VISIONS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD


Dear Watchful Worshipper:

As Hanukkah comes to a close, I am praying that your LIGHT fully manifest and be set on the hill around you to radiate for all to see. I am also praying that as we approach the Holiday Season that you will be filled with strength and power. I hope you are enjoying the 10-Day Prayer Focus on Restoring Joy and Gaining Strength to Break Old Cycles. I want to wish you a great Holiday. I wanted to share with you some things I feel the Lord is saying. I am including several dreams and visions for you to ponder over the next 21 days.

I am studying the Wise Men from Matthew 2 during this season. Bethlehem was the place, and God's perfect timing was during the days of Herod. God always has a perfect timing to shift things. His timing seems to be connected many times with a change or shift in civil government as well as a shift in spiritual government.

We need to expect big changes this coming year. We have entered the fourth year of a seven-year war season. Things will escalate in both heaven and earth to press us toward the fullness and completion of God's plan for this seven years.

Remember, the war is over God's covenant blessings and plan being released and established in the earth realm in this generation. You are warring for personal, corporate, and territorial blessings. We are also warring for the mantle of God to be released upon the next generation. Watch every anti-Christ force very carefully.

KEYS FROM MATTHEW CHAPTER TWO FOR 2005

Matthew 2:1-12 says:

"Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.'"

• When you see the heavens shifting, be willing to follow God in a whole new way.

• There will be a great change in worship expression this year.
   

"When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born."

• God is troubling civil leaders. Many civil leaders will begin to request revelation from God's chosen people. 

• We must be careful of an unholy alignment that occurs between civil and religious leaders.

• God's prophetic apostolic people must be uncompromising in speaking God's truth during this coming year.
   

"So they said to him, 'In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.'"

• There will be prophetic revelation uncovered this year.

• Review prophecies from your region that have not been fulfilled.

• Watch for realignment of events to bring forth God's plan this year.
   

"Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, 'Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.'

"When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy."

• Our spirit must be filled with joy this year, even in the midst of trying circumstances.

• We should expect to see God's glory manifesting in a new way.

• We should expect God to lead us to some new places this year for divine connections.
   

"And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

• We must poise our heart to worship at all times this year and be willing to worship in unusual ways as the Lord manifests.

• We must be willing to give in incredible new ways.

• God will open up treasures to us so our giving can increase.

• There will be a kingly release, a joyous release, and a resurrection release once we break old cycles and see in a new way.
   

"Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way." (NKJV)

• We must allow God to bring us revelation in the night. Dreams and visions are very important this year.

• We must be willing to go a different way this year.

THE LORD WILL LEAD FORTH WITH HIS REVELATION AND INTERPRETATION THIS YEAR

The Magi was used as the name for priests and wise men among the Medes, Persians, and Babylonians. There will be supernatural movement in the earth realm in the prophetic realm. You will hear much from diviners, soothsayers, magicians, diviners, astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, and those who predict by the new moon. However, the Lord will raise His prophets up this year to lead forth in revelation (Daniel 1:20, 2, 5:11).

Listen carefully to revelation that is coming forth in the sphere that you operate in. Much revelation will be released that encourages, exhorts, warns, and directs this year. I am praying that the GIFT OF INTERPRETATION mature in the body of Christ. Below is some key revelation that has come forth in the last month or so.


DREAMS ARE ONE WAY OF GOD SPEAKING REVELATION TO YOU

When a dream comes forth in the Body of Christ this year, we want to be sure we press in for the interpretation. In When God Speaks, we have three chapters on dream interpretation (see below for book). This is so important for this year.


A DREAM: "GO UP THE STEEP MOUNTAIN"
from Susan Stanfield, my [Chuck's] assistant

I was driving on a highway, headed toward a hotel up the road, when the road started up an enormously steep mountain. The road must have been a four-lane road, like the road from Monument to Castle Rock, Colorado, and I was in the far right (slower traffic) lane. It started raining heavily and I saw a semi-truck in my lane up ahead.

Before I could shift down and signal to change into the left lane free of the truck, an SUV from behind me whipped around me and popped into the space between me and the truck.

I remember thinking the truck would have to really slow down and I needed to still change lanes, when all of a sudden the truck slowed to a halt, and the SUV in front of me lost traction and began heading back toward my vehicle, fast. All I could do was get on the shoulder out of its way, and then I lost traction and slid/steered all the way down to the bottom, into another four-lane highway, into a sea of darkness, pouring rain, and headlights.

Even though I thought for sure I'd crash into oncoming traffic, the Lord took me through without a scratch, with the only mishap being I was now facing traffic that was stopped at the red light at an intersection. I wondered if I should pull up on the esplanade to get out of their way, but knowing I had to make the trip up the hill, I must have headed out again because I then found myself in the hotel.

I was in my room (that was sort of like "my area" rather than a four-walls designation) when my hotel-neighbor walked in. She was a large black woman and she indicated her trip up the mountain had been awful, too. She said, "I'm going to start a song and then you're going to finish it."

She sang something like, "When you start up the mountain and it looks like you can't make it to the top..."

I finished up with, "Then you keep going one inch, one inch, one inch at a time and you don't give up."


INTERPRETATION: "THIS WILL BE A YEAR OF CHANGING LANES"

This will be a year of changing lanes. The Lord is going to put some roadblocks in our path, but supernaturally shift us from one seemingly closed path into another path. We will be fearful at first, but all of a sudden we will see that the Lord has fully planted us on a new path. However, on this new path will be an intersection of choice. At this intersection, if we will trust the Lord, He will supernaturally make decisions on our behalf that will "get us up the steep hill that was ahead of us."

Do not let the steepness of your path stop you in any way this year. God will also intervene with some unusual people in our lives this year that will help us get moving in a new song that will break old cycles. Listen carefully for the beginning of the song of deliverance and you will complete this season with great joy.

"There will be a gradual advance, and I will be working in mysterious ways that you do not understand, even while you sleep."
 

A VISION: "DO NOT FEAR TO BE SHEARED"
at the FMC Meeting (November 16, 2004) by Chuck Pierce

I saw a LOOM. On the loom was a half-completed, wool garment. This garment had a beginning pattern that was forming.

The hand of the Lord took out the spindle and spinning wheel to ready Himself to spin more wool. He then also took out shears. He began to find sheep that were grazing, held up in stalls, or some that even seemed to be ready for slaughter. However, I could see the faces of the sheep and they were many people I knew. He would raise them up and begin to shear them.

He took that which was sheared and used their wool to begin spinning and weaving it into the garment that was half finished.


INTERPRETATION: "BRINGING COMPLETION TO WHAT HAS BEGUN IN THE PAST"

God has a mind to finish many things this season that have been begun in the past. Do not fear. Many of you think that you have been put on a shelf or sent out to pasture, but the Lord is about to find you and take you off the shelf or out of the place of confinement where you've been.

Many of us have had things held up for a season. However, during this season you have been forming a new mantle. The testings you have been going through have caused you to be prepared for the future.

Do not be afraid, for the Lord to now strip and shear you, for He is ready to use the testimony of your testings. What you have grown through will become key in the pattern for the new season.

The Lord will even remove what has seemed to be fruitful. This removal will only last about five months because He is taking what has been fruitful and weaving it into a more fruitful plan. He is now weaving the garment for us to wear into war for these next few years. Don't worry about being vulnerable. The Spirit of God will give you favor in the vulnerable place. He will hold and protect you until you fully see this new pattern that is arising.

There will be a divine connecting with others who are also being sheared. The mantle that God is preparing will win the war in the future. This is not a time to move quickly into war. Wait for the mantle and the connections, and God will multiply it into a troop. God will be finishing many things this year, and tying many loose ends -- you will no longer be confused.

The Lord has been preparing a corporate army. He is also preparing the weapons for this army. We cannot use the weapons of victory nor the armor from the last season. The garment He is preparing will lead us into harvest. Don't be afraid to lay down what God says to lay down. Get ready -- God is developing what you will wear in days ahead.

"TREASURES OF DARKNESS ARE BEING GIVEN UP AND RELEASED"
A Word by Keith Pierce at the December Firstfruits Gathering (December 4, 2004)

I hear the Lord saying, "Treasures of Darkness. Oh, Treasures of Darkness. Oh, Treasures of Darkness come forth to My people. Come forth to My people. Come forth to My people. This is a season that the mountains are breaking. This is a season that the circumstances are changing. This is a season that the bronze gates are unlocking. The hinges are breaking, the heavens are opening, and the treasures of darkness are being given up and released! Watch for closed gates to begin to open up in the next 60 days.

"I am speaking to My Shebas right now and saying, ‘Shebas, fill your boats. Shebas, fill your boats with precious cargo and start your journey to the house of faith.' For I will open the doors of the Church and I will release keys that will unlock the gates of hell.

"I will change the favor of the Church and there will be a supernatural shift this year of those who are controlling the keys of the gate. I will remove keys from some and give them to others. I am sending many to come and test what the Spirit of God is doing in My House."

The Spirit of God, in all of His power and all of His wisdom, is going to begin to speak to the Queens of Sheba to begin to load their cargo and bring it to the house of God to unload. Watch for key women that God brings into your path over these next several months.

"I WILL INTERVENE IN A MOMENT'S TIME"
A Word and Song given to LeAnn Squier at the November Firstfruits Gathering (November 6, 2004)

I hear the Lord saying, "A moment of favor is worth more than a year of labor and toil in the field." We need to grab hold of this principle.

I asked God, "What does that mean?"

He said, "In one moment I can drop something into your spirit; in one moment I can drop something into your dream; in one moment you can respond to me.

"In one moment you can say I'm tithing on my gross, not on my net. In one moment those decisions, those words can open ways that have never been opened. It is not by might, not by your power, not by your strength, but by one moment of divine favor. Listen carefully this year and receive from Me. I will intervene in a moment's time.'"


DREAM: "TREASURES IN THE HOUSE"

Listen carefully to the next generation this coming year. Abby Squier, the daughter of John and LeAnn Squier, had the following dream. She came to her mother and said, "We had moved into a new house (which by the way, they have done this year) -- an older house, sitting on a hill.

"When we came inside the house, in the middle of the floor was a pool. We began to reach down and pull treasures out of the pool. It looked like those big gold doubloons. We gathered them up and began putting them in a box."


INTERPRETATION: "YOU WILL BEGIN TO RECOVER AND UNCOVER THAT WHICH IS ALREADY IN YOU"

The Lord would say, "In My house are many treasures. I am putting those in your keeping at this time. Matter of fact, I have already hidden them in the place of your dwelling. Come into a new abiding place with Me. If you will allow Me to dwell in your midst and My Spirit to be richly at home in you, you will begin to recover and uncover that which is already in you.

"I am taking you to some past places and circumstances where you missed certain treasures that I had put in your path. When you come back into that day where you diverted from My path or failed to press into My fullness, I will show you the pool that was filled with My treasures that has been waiting for you. I have been keeping them safe until now.

"This is a year for you to recover. You will gather what you have missed and you will bring them into safe keeping and a new dimension of stewardship. What you gain now must multiply. What you gather now will be your supply for days ahead. I am pulling you back to an old place so I can advance you into a new place. In you are great treasures. In your midst you will find the treasures and supply for your future."


GET SUPERNATURAL WISDOM AND STRATEGY

Keith Pierce then began to prophesy the following:

"I am releasing a new power inside of you. This is a power that will propel you outside of your present comfort zone and the walls of what you know as church. This is a power that is propelling you into the streets, highways, and byways. There is an anointing that I am releasing that will even be upon your shadow. As your shadow passes by, bondages will be broken.

"Even right now there is a strategy that is hidden in the shadow, because I AM overshadowing My people in a new way. This is a shadow of conception. This is the shadow of victory. Within this shadow is a powerful sound.

"There is a new sound of the anointing that will unlock that which has been held back this hour. This sound is the sound of a new trumpet. This is a sound that will cause the wickedness, that has held captive the treasures of My city, to be overthrown."

COME UP INTO HIS WISDOM

Marty Cassady then began to share that, several years ago, the Lord took her to the desert and she spent 7 days before the Lord, asking Him about wisdom.

She began to prophesy, "There is a supernatural wisdom that is overshadowing My people. There is wisdom in your desert. Wisdom has built her house. She has hewn out her seven pillars. Wisdom is a place. Wisdom is that place that exists in the spirit realm for My people to abide in. Lift up your head! Get your head up, for I AM releasing wisdom to My people. Wisdom will overthrow demonic forces."

Receive new strategies; strategies to overthrow the enemy in your life, on your bank account, on the savings account. Lord, we agree with you and say, "We come up! We come up! We come up into Your wisdom."
