Season of Suddenlies!

"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection." Philippians 3:10

Those promises are so exciting! What do they mean? The Glory of God is His manifest Presence...signs, wonders and miracles! Jesus boldly declared, "Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" John 11:40

On one occasion, Lazarus was raised from the dead, directly after the Master made that powerful statement. In other words, his passing was permitted for the Glory, that those marvelous works may be made manifest in the Son. Lazarus' death didn't bring praise to the Father, but that impressive resurrection did!

Is the Father glorified in sin, sickness, poverty or death? The answer to that question is obvious. No! However, when the Greater One on the inside of us is permitted to express Himself and do His job, if you will, the enemy's endeavors are reversed. And that brings Glory, instead of blame, to the Lord.

In another case, when asked whose sin was responsible for the blind man's condition, Jesus said, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works (or Glory) of God should be made manifest in him (John 9)." What happened, thereafter? That boy was healed!! Was there a purpose for the dreadful condition? Absolutely! The Father desired to manifest His Presence by turning his captivity, the loss of sight.

So, what does all that mean? God's works are His Glory, an unveiling and activation of the Creator's will, essence and nature. Before Jesus returns for the Bride, this entire planet will be supernaturally impacted by obedient believers, poised to do business for the Kingdom. We are the spout, where the Zoe (Life of God) comes out! "Let it be said, these that have turned the world upside down are come hither, also." Acts 17:6

Several years ago, during a Miracle Rally, the Lord accorded a prophetic utterance that has clearly stirred my Spirit. While speaking these words, under a profound anointing, I could barely contain the associated excitement: "Yea, a Season of Suddenlies is upon this earth, a time when, quickly, that which was revealed, everything my children have been incubating for years, from their Throne Room experiences, will come to pass. Neglect not the vision, which was accorded, even during those dry periods. What has been revealed is for an appointed time. Though it tarry, wait! The manifestation will arrive. You are pregnant with revealed truth! A birthing will shortly transpire. For the gap is narrowing between the spoken word and manifestation. The reaper is about to surpass the sower. Have I not said, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven? Is there any sickness here, in my Presence? Do sin, poverty and death exist on the other side? Well, before returning, this planet will look more like Heaven, than ever before, in terms of all enemies being made a footstool, including the last to be vitally defeated...death! And, since you possess my feet, dear child, your marching orders are being given. That's precisely why they, those feet, are precious. They're Mine! Wherever My Soldier ventures, in response to that still, small voice, I will be there, also. You will never be alone, or fall short. No man goes to war at his own expense. The victory is accomplished. Simply go in and take the territory! Preach the Gospel. Heal the sick. Cast out devils. Raise the dead! Freely, you have received. Freely dispense. The evil one doesn't discriminate. Neither should you! It will rain on the just and unjust, alike. I have, indeed, gone forward to prepare a place for my child, so that where I am, there he/she may be, also. Many believe this strictly applies to their eternal homes. That, too, is the case. But, know this, as well. Your Father has time-traveled on your behalf. I am in that next moment, hour, day, month and year...the same yesterday, today and forever. You operate from restricted dimensions. Mine are unlimited! Needless to say, totally surrendering your life to Me is the only way to be where I am. Aside from that, many wrong roads will be taken, where your Daddy has not been before you or made preparation. My highest is for you to abide in the Secret Place of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty. Just as the shadow of Peter healed the sick, obliterated darkness, such will be the case in your walk. Don't be fearful of obedience, so long as that revelation lines up with the Word, is sustained, and brings Glory to Me. Rejoice!!! Heaven's plans will shortly become humanity's blessings. The promised Season of Suddenlies is upon you!"

Let's take a little side trip, before proceeding forward. In line with this teaching, there are four effective ways of determining the Father's will. He has clearly instructed us to "try the spirits, see if they are of God (1 John 4:1)." Let's take a look at those major testing points.

1. The Word
Is my revelation in agreement with that which is written?

2. The Will
The Lord works in me, both to will (want) and do of His good pleasure. Does the prompting continually reside? Is it sustained by the Holy Spirit? Do I lack peace, when ignoring that leading?

3. The Witness
Do I have a red, yellow or green light in the matter? The times and seasons are in His hands. Is this the proper moment to move? Only the Spirit will accord that answer.

4. The Way
In His time, He will open a door. And, no man will be able to close it! Wait for Him to do just that.

Child of God, don't lose confidence in what He has revealed. Faith will work in that heart, when there is doubt in your head. The answer rests more on His faithfulness, than the intensity of your faith. For even your faith-seed is from Him! You have all that is ever needed to "perform those greater works than these." Remember, it is faith, not appearances, that makes miracles happen. Occasionally, a manifestation can be short-circuited by attempting to observe it in progress. I liken this to wrapping one's arms around a tree and keeping them there for five years, if that were possible. Does the plant grow? Surely! Would anyone be able to actually feel the expansion? No! Growth often is gradual.

If there isn't an immediate, outward change in a situation, do not withdraw your faith and assume nothing has happened. Render a decision to never be moved by sense-realm signs. The next time you're tempted to evaluate what God is doing, by outward appearances, don't go there! Moving in faith is the only real evidence of a miracle. All that is very significant, while functioning and standing in this Season of Suddenlies. We will still have to ongoingly operate by revelation knowledge. When tempted to get off track, speak the rhema! Satan will flee your space. Always know, faith-filled words dominate the law of sin and death. Thoughts don't rule thoughts. Words dominate thoughts!! The tongue is a creative entity. The power of life and death lies with that member. Speak God's words, and evil thoughts will flee, along with the accuser of the brethren.

This side-trip was kind of neat. Let's return to that Glory, which will result in a multitude of names being added to the Lamb's Book of Life.

The day of that promised outpouring is upon us! Can you imagine going to the market, walking down the street, hearing people talk about those super miracles, irrefutable events of His reality and love? Get ready! We are about there!

Within the Spirit of every born-again child is an insatiable hunger, implanted by God, which cannot be satisfied by what this world has to offer, including theologies and religion. It is not a desire that diminishes, but, to the contrary, grows stronger and stronger, the longer we walk with Him.

The Apostle Paul seemingly enjoyed more revelation knowledge than any other man, except Jesus. Yet, when writing to his Philippian partners, he expressed a spiritual hunger that was so powerful, it totally overshadowed everything else in life. "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus (the Anointed One) my Lord (and His Anointing)...that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection." Philippians 3:8-10

While pondering those words, Paul's desire is clear....a deeper revelation of the Anointed One and His Anointing...and to know the Power of His Resurrection. It's a place where evil is overcome by good, sickness overtaken by health, death defeated, via life...His! That mindset is so vital, especially, during this Season of Suddenlies. We need to boldly enter that Throne Zone for intimacy and revelation. Without relationship, the Believer will be left in the dark.

According to Romans 6:3-4, Jesus was raised from the dead by the Glory of God. So, the Power of the Resurrection is actually in the Glory. Paul's burning yearning was to become acquainted with the Master, the Anointed One and His Anointing...and to know the Glory of the Father!

Dad's Glory boldly stands out in the Bible. It is so big, you have to read the Old and New Testaments to even begin having insight into that subject. In Exodus 33:18, Moses cried out to God! "Show me your Glory!" The Father's reply..."I will make all my goodness pass before thee." Well, what does that mean, Paul? The Creator's Glory is also His goodness. God's Glory is Himself!

Jesus is filled with, and surrounded by, that identical Glory, along with all it represents...life, goodness. He is untouched by death, walks in all authority, both spiritually and physically, in Heaven and on earth.

Everything the Father and we have is rolled up into one Being, with the Glory flowing through His veins...Jesus! We are being transformed into His image, moment by moment, from Glory to Glory, by the Spirit of the Lord! We're headed toward the same fullness (bury that word in your heart) of Glory. That's why the Savior died for us and was raised from the dead...so He could bring many sons unto Glory...signs, wonders, miracles, always having, all sufficiency, in everything. Hebrews 2:10

Romans 3:23 proclaims, "For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God." But, Jesus took our sins and bore the penalty. Therefore, we can know, and partake of, the Glory. That Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ can permeate our lives and change everything! Let's walk in His Presence and blow the socks off this world!
