Realignment for the church.
Prophecy brought by Dennis DeGrasse for the Taunton region in March 2000
Psalm 133.1-3
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the due of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
As I started to pray for this region, I was immediately turned to the thought of the city church. The lord is birthing this vision all over the world. Men and women of God are catching hold of this vision. This must come to pass before the world can really see the glory of God in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This vision is of age now. Some men have seen it for sometime, but have been discouraged at their inability to make it happen we are entering into a now season for this word. God is releasing his grace to his servants. It will cause persecution to arise in some places. It will stir up the powers of hell in real hatred. They know what unity will bring to the earth. It will be as the resurrection from the dead. We must be prepared for the face of the church to be changed by the Lord. As we behold his increasing glory in his church, we are going to be changed. It will bring about some massive realignment in relationships. It will mean the raising up and realignment of many of the servants of the Lord. We will see many roles shift and change. The thing that will help us to keep our balance through it all will be the overwhelming witness of the Lord in our midst. We will be washed in his mighty presence. This is not a thing of man, this is a God thing. He will release great wisdom upon the church and its leaders. The Word will live in our midst as we press into the day of the lord that is before us. The things of this world will pale into insignificance before us.
Job14v7-9
At least there is hope for a tree; If it is cut down it will sprout again And its shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the soil, Yet at the scent of water it will bud And put forth shoots like a plant.
The Lord will give you understanding of who is and isn’t a part of his church. There are some who call themselves the church, but they are as a branch that has not kept itself attached to the vine. They are fruitless. The Lord will use the light of his glory to bring a jealousy to many. They will be moved by what they see. They will cry out to the Lord and he will answer. You will see that which was dead, spring back to life .Like a stump in the ground ,they will spring forth with new life. They will bear fruit again to God’s glory.
We will see the Lord bring the church back into the hands and under the ministries of the visionaries and the foundation layers. He will cause the apostle and the prophet alike to come into a new understanding, vision and anointing. He is releasing a new life that will be a catalyst in the church. The apostolic team will arise to bless the nations. The authority of the Lord will be increased in the hearts of men and women, boys and girls.
This region will be linked by Holy Ghost relationships, with the rest of the nation and the world. God is raising up fathers and mothers in the spirit. They will lay down their lives for the family of God. Many of them will make great personal sacrifices for the Lord. They will carry a weight of authority and power in the Lord.
There is coming a cry and of anger and outrage from those who have sold themselves into bondage to Satan. They have believed the lie. They have bought into the enemies’ gospel. They will show hatred and outward open anger against the saints. Some will try to use the courts of the land against the church. Some will resort to violent acts against the saints. Pray for the youth of your nation.
I can see this region acting as a great magnet. The lord will draw many souls to this area. It will create some obvious challenges to the area, but it will present you the church with great opportunity. Get the machinery ready for the harvest. Prepare yourselves, recognise and train the evangelists who are among you. The Lord is going to give you more than the average. This region will see many stirred in this gifting and anointing. You may say “where have they been?” but the lord says that some haven’t been saved yet. There are many ministries resources that are yet to be harvested.
I see the Lord forming some sort of counsel in this area. The brethren in this counsel will be known for their anointing and giftedness more than their positions. The Lord will return us to see things from a different point of view. He is going to remove the politics from the church. Those with the real goods to deliver will emerge as true servant leaders. The Lord is emphasising the importance of true God given relationships. Don’t allow the enemy to spoil them. This regional counsel will be made up of proven ministries who have joined themselves in true fellowship with each other. Jesus will be allowed to be the sovereign head and will exercise his government through the anointed ones he has chosen. There are many religious spirits that have taken hold of many. It has caused strife ,bitterness, backbiting and jealousy. The lord is creating a different environment for his people. The Lord is going to birth a true kingdom mentality in His people through the alignment and co-operation of these gifted leaders in this region. There will be a change in the very atmosphere over the area.. Old powers and principalities will be shaken loose. Peoples’ minds will be free to hear and understand the truth. The prayer ministries, the intercessors and the watchmen on the wall, will be functioning in a new level of awareness. The net is getting stronger, the knots are getting tighter and the holes in the net are getting smaller.
