Governmental Authority

This is what God wants to do in the church- He wants to release governmental authority to us so that what we do, what we pray and what we decree in Salem will affect this country and the earth. This is part of the Kingdom transition that he is bringing about. After my time of prayer today, i finally know what the Lord wants to say concerning Isa 22:22 and the key of David... throughout those times this year that i've been looking at my handphone clock at exactly 22:22, i know the Lord wanted to say something impt abt it.. and now, by His grace i know what it is... it's not just for my life, it's not just for Sojourners ministry.. it's for the church... The Lord is bringing us to kingdom alignment so we can function in governmental authority... And i belive that this is gonna function in the area of praise, worship and intercession... that what we pray and decree will affect Singapore and probably even beyond... So the Lord is bringing about a shift in what the worship ministry is gonna look like in church.. and we've been tasting some of that in the youth i believe.. and this is what the painted house is about.. this is where the painted house is geared to- praise worship and intercession.. and the kind that will be so powerful that it will shake this earth and shake the country that we live in! It's gonna be a place of "as it is in heaven!"... Get ready!

I was praying Isa 35 and Isa 61 over Sojourners and Salem today and i'm believing that God is gonna do something big this next season... Also meditate on Isa 9 and Isa 22. Isa 9 talks about the gentiles coming into light.. and how does that happen.. it's through the government of God released through Jesus Christ! The government is upon His shoulders... The key of David in Isa 22 is placed on Eliakim's shoulders. And Eliakim is a foreshadowing of the role of the Messiah. Eliakim means "God is my resurrection" and "God who establishes"... and Isa 22 talks about the valley of vision.. and what God wants to do is to take all that vision out of the valley and remove all the dust from it and resurrect it.. even more- establish it. Perhaps in the church there have been such visions, goals and dreams that have died and been forgotten through time or have been burried with past leaderships that have come and gone... but God wants to resurrect them and establish them.. He's looking for Eliakims to give His authority to.. And Eliakim was a father to Jerusalem and the house of Judah.. similarly, He's looking for true apostleship marked by such fatherhood... He's looking for Eliakim-type leaders whom He will use to resurrect and establish His visions, dreams and purposes upon individuals, ministries and nations. These are the people truly anointed with governmental authority; these godly leaders who will father and raise people, ministries and nations and help their vision come into fulfillment. And that's what the shift in the face in the government of God in Salem Chapel is gonna be (see post on the Kingdom Shift)... Ppl have spoken over Salem that it's like the church in Philadelphia in the book of revelations.. and the Lord revealed Himself to them as the One who holds the key of David. He's doing something.. He's bringing us to a place of Higher authority in Him... So let's all yield to His will and submit to His purposes and be faithful in what we are already doing now for at His time, He will bring us there.. and that time is soon!

Today had worship prac with the team for WMD Camp and the presence of the Holy Spirit was very stong in our midst and i feel that we touched something in the spirit realm. The Holy Spirit showed me at the beginning of the session that we were like the wilderness... so we prayed for a move of the Spirit and later during worship, i saw that it was raining... So Lord, we ask for more! The Lord is gonna make rivers flow in the desert... During worship, when Jerry was playing the drums, i saw a sword go upwards and i believe that as we worshipped we were releasing a sound of warfare that was breaking through into the heavenlies... The Lord also showed me a BIG tornado and i was standing in the middle of it... and as i type this now, it seems as if the Lord is saying that as the eye of the storm is peaceful, sometimes i say to myself why don't i feel or see anything happening... especially during this time of intensely seeking Him... but the Lord is assuring me that our prayer and fasting is changing something in the spiritual atmosphere... not just in Sojourners but in the church! Something is breaking open in the heavenlies! Let's press in... The Lord also reminded me how tornadoes are formed... it's when the hot air rises from below and meets the hot air above creating a channel... and this channel is gonna be "as it is in heaven!".. as our praises become hot and passionate, they rise up into the sky and change the atmosphere.. and soon, we find that everything around us is never the same again... it is possible, even after one worship session! When we close our eyes to behold Him and then the next moment we open them, everything has changed! God is stirring something in the atmosphere... and it ain't gonna be pretty.. it may be offensive to some.. but it's entirely God. God comes when He wants to in the manner he wants to... so what if it disturbs the traditions of men and the traditionalist order that people have held onto?? It's God and He's gonna do what He feels like he wants to do... He's gonna disturb the status quo but it's Him alright! Take it away, Holy Spirit! :) Get ready! ;)
