The following is a prophetic word given to IHOP-NW at the close of the School of the Prophets this past weekend. May you also find encouragement as we seek the Lord for the coming days.
“What has been done here is a new beginning for many people to open the door to My kingdom. Many will see differences in their lives in the coming months. There is healing of the mind where there has been desolation. I have brought life in a new way. Foundational truth has been spoken. A fire has been released and will continue to burn if followed by nurture. Letting go of pride is essential to growth. Assumption must go if you want to grow. I don’t always release all of what I am doing at once, so that you stay attentive to My leading.
Hold onto praise and worship as the foremost way into the Spirit. Carry that into the marketplace and I will supply the power to heal the sick, to provide for the poor, to heal the brokenhearted in mind and body. Worship is the door for continued walk, as it is the opposite of what the world does. Many will scoff, but many will hear and come. Carry My delight into the world, as well. Strengthen character, knowledge of My Word, grace to all. Push forth Kingdom character and let My people see the divine character of My kingdom.
The people who served you are My servants who hold keys to unlock spiritual knowledge, but not one has power that cannot be found by any one of you who have been seeking. Growth comes from seeking Me and Me alone. I am awaiting you. I am awaiting the times to be with you alone, to instill My dreams, My knowledge, My hope into your spirit, that you may arise and see more of Me, more of My salvation and beauty that will transform the lives I desire to touch.
Salvation is key for most to survive, but I am bringing a season of stretching to believe Me for more than just acquiescence to My Kingdom. I want believers who move guided by My power to transform My image into the true God I am, and not the byproduct of religion.
Break open the alabaster jar and give Me all you have and all you are. I want more of you to be mine. Let me hear your voice, beloved, in the secret, quiet place. Know my power to lift you to the higher place, that you may taste of My goodness, and grow into my likeness.
I love you. I have what you want and need. You must come up to Me to bring hope to others who will follow Me in time.”
