Rachel Hickson - October 2004
(Isa 60:1 - 3 NIV) "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of
the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness
is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over
you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your
dawn.
Feel that God has a purpose for the West coast of America. It is the time
for an awakening.
West Coast:
It is the wilderness and barren place - but will be fruitful and
have many souls
Struggle and wrestling for signs and wonders
Destiny for nations and generations
Warrior anointing to overcome the occult.
Arise and Shine - need to step in to the next season of alignment in the
purposes of God.
Need to believe that the season of Light has come.
You will be a people set on a hill carrying the Glory of the Lord.
It is time to go counter culture and carry the opposite spirit to the spirit
of the age. It is time to stand up and be the glory and fire carriers of
God.
There has been an assignment of darkness to ruin the destiny of California.
There has been the coming together of the occult, religious and sexual power
strongholds to hold this state and hold back it's prophetic anointing. God
has called this State to be a PIONEER state and to blaze the trail for the
new day and expression of God to the nation.
But the enemy has wanted to cover the people with darkness. He has stirred
the call to the occult and the perversion but now it is time to cry out for
a new sound! It is time for the glory and the presence of God to be made
known!
God has called this place to be salt and light. But California has not
taken up its Godly role and so it is renowned throughout the earth for
other things. But it is the day for the new sound!
(Mat 5:13 - 16NIV) "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses
its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for
anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither
do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its
stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your
good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
I believe this is why God is putting a cry on the heart of the church for
the justice issues and the poor and needy. These good deeds must shine
before men.
There is a new urgency for the harvest and for the spreading of the simple
news of Jesus and the church needs to get ready.
California is moving into a new season of the spirit
THIS IS THAT.. WHICH THE PROPHETS SPOKE OF!
(Acts 2:12 - 16 NIV) Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What
does this mean?" Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had
too much wine." Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and
addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let
me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not
drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! No, this is that which
did the prophet Joel speak:
(Gen 45:4 - 9NIV) Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come close to me."
When they had done so, he said, "I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold
into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with
yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent
me ahead of you. 6 For two years now there has been famine in the land, and
for the next five years there will not be ploughing and reaping. 7 But God
sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your
lives by a great deliverance. 8 "So then, it was not you who sent me here,
but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and
ruler of all Egypt. 9 Now hurry back to my father and say to him, 'This is
what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to
me; don't delay.
We have the sudden realisation that this is my moment - this is what my life
has been leading towards. This is the moment of destiny - this is that
which the prophetic word of God has been speaking about over my life.
We realise that all the struggling - contradictions - failing - training and
experience has been leading us both individually and corporately to this
point and suddenly we have a THIS is THAT moment!
3 major encounters for the This is That moment
Personal
Community
National
We realise that all our lives the school friends and training has been about
us but also about the nations!
Time for alignments for the moment of destiny
3 major alignments in the Spirit
a. The partnership of gender
b. The partnership of generations.
c. The partnership of churches and denominations.
There is a cry to come together - come together North - Central - South
This is the time to remove the curse and negative language about California.
Time or a new sound. Remove the sound of rebellion and be a pioneer.
It is time to remove the label given to California by other churches -
California WILL NOT BE CALLED godless BUT god filled.
California THE sunshine STATE - GET READY.
