BRINGING INTO SERVICE PROPHETIC PRAYER
"...So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing..."
The emphasis of this verse is that God is speaking His thoughts to us. The verse before says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:9).
So rather than figuring out how to pray for a situation --  ask God what His thoughts and will are for the situation. A phrase or a picture lights upon the mind, meaning you have just received "God's thoughts" or the "mind of Christ." You have just received the prophetic way to pray for the situation.
So now -- prophesy this word by speaking it in faith, and in your mind's eye, seeing it happen (i.e. a vision). Continue speaking and seeing as long as the phrase is resonating within you.
MAKING IT BEAR AND SPROUT -- TIME IS INVOLVED
"For as the rain and the snow come down from Heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater..." (Isaiah 55:10)
This idea is that a bit of time is involved in generating the miracle. Rain comes. It waters. Things sprout. Bread is eaten. Well, that normally takes a few months to occur, so you will need to be patient, knowing the prophetic word is working, producing the expected harvest. The promised results are "It will not return to Me empty."
This is a wonderful promise which you can rest in!
"It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."
You speak forth the word God has spoken within, declaring it is done, knowing it is God's conception which is now in the process of being birthed.
Rejoice That the Victory Is Won!
"For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands." (Isaiah 55:12)
No more begging that God will do it. No more fear that it will not be birthed. No more grumbling or complaining as I wait for the harvest. Just a simple declaration, spoken into the atmosphere, that "This is SO." The work is accomplished. God's Spirit is moving, accomplishing His spoken word. So you celebrate.
Now your emotions are in line with your confession. You have Kingdom thoughts, Kingdom pictures, Kingdom confessions and Kingdom emotions. You are in alignment. The thoughts of your mind, the pictures and emotions of your heart, and the words of your mouth all align. Now you are a vessel through whom the miracle-working power of God can flow. Now you are releasing Heaven on Earth.
Established strength happens as we perfect praise, believing and thanking God that He has already performed the miracle! The promised result --  "The enemy and the revengeful cease" (Psalm 8:2).

The Christmas Prophecy
The trumpet sounds to wake us up, time to get to the watch. He is coming. The trumpet sounds and He gathers His sons and daughters to Him. From the east, the west, north and south they do come.

The reality is that the Pentecostal / Charismatic / Third Wave, with all its emphasis on signs and wonders, has produced nothing verifiable that qualifies in the New Testament sense as an authentic sign of wonder.

I came across this article and what do I see but the word MYSTERY. In 1 Corinthians 15:51 Paul uses that exact word.

Who is the False Prophet of Revelation?
Eli Kittim
Binary Patterns
The Bible often uses binary patterns by introducing two important figures who turn out to be one single individual. For example, a binary pattern can be seen in the Old Testament’s (OT) presentation of the two Messiahs in Judaism: one is a high priest, the other is an anointed king of the Davidic line (cf. Zech. 4:14). The two Messiahs can also be found in the Apocryphal literature, such as in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and the Damascus Covenant. However, in the New Testament (NT), these two Messiahs are morphed into one priestly/kingly figure: Jesus, the Son of God (cf. Heb. 4:14 and Mt. 2:1–2).
The same is true of the two witnesses in the NT. In order to understand the identity of the two witnesses in Rev. 11:3-12, we must first trace them back to the Hebrew Bible from which they emerge (Zech. 4:14). So when we trace the identity of the two witnesses back to the OT and the context in which they appear, we find that they represent the two Messiahs of Rabbinic Judaism. But these two figures later became coalesced, commingled into one, in the figure of Jesus Christ, who’s given the titles of king and high priest in the order of Melchizedek, who is also a king and priest (Heb. 7:13-17). Therefore, the two witnesses appear to represent the coming Messiah: Jesus Christ (cf. Mal. 4:5; Rev. 6:2)!
The Earth & the Sea
First Jn 5:6 uses the symbols of “water and blood” to represent the divinity and humanity of Jesus, thus indicating that he’s both God and man. The “water” symbolizes the divinity of Jesus, while the blood symbolizes his humanity. Thus, water symbolizes the spirit, while blood symbolizes the flesh.
Now let’s look at the serpent of Gen. 3, which is later identified as the devil or Satan, who is also known as “the great dragon.” Revelation 12:9 says that he will be incarnated on earth:
“And the great dragon was thrown down,
that ancient serpent, who is called the devil
and Satan, the deceiver of the whole
world—he was thrown down to the earth,
and his angels were thrown down with him.”
Isaiah 27:1 alludes to the “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12) by portraying their ruler (i.e. the serpent/dragon) as residing “in the sea”:
“In that day the LORD with his hard and
great and strong sword will punish
Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the
twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon
that is in the sea.”
Just as 1 Jn 5:6 uses the symbols of “water and blood” to represent the spiritual and human domains, so the description of the two Beasts in Rev. 13—-one “rising out of the sea,” the other “out of the earth”——may be used in a similar fashion to describe the spiritual and earthly realms, respectively. In other words, the reference may be to a single individual who possesses two natures: a human & a spiritual one. Let’s not forget that in heaven, within the Throne Room of God, a sea is explicitly mentioned in Rev. 4:6 (cf. Gen. 1:7).
The Unholy Trinity
According to Rev. 13:4, the whole world “worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast” (i.e. the Antichrist). Yet notice that the second Beast (i.e. the False Prophet), who came out of the earth mimicked Christ because he “had two horns like a lamb … [but] spoke like a dragon” (Rev. 13:11). The point is that just as the two messiahs and the two witnesses represent one person, so the False prophet and the Antichrist may be one and the same person as well. The Book of Daniel doesn’t mention two Antichrists but rather one, namely, the “little horn” (Dan. 7:8; 8:9-12).
First Jn 4:1 associates false prophets with unclean spirits which have been unleashed in the world. Rev. 16:13 reads:
“And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the
dragon and out of the mouth of the beast
and out of the mouth of the false prophet,
three unclean spirits like frogs.”
The Dragon, the Beast, and the False prophet seemingly represent an unholy Trinity in which these three persons are one being, just like the Holy Trinity represents one being, not a plurality of beings. The Devil, the Beast, and the False prophet appear to be three manifestations or three modes that represent Satan, his spirit, and his incarnation.
False prophets in the OT
Surprisingly, we don’t find the phrase “false prophet” in the OT, but there are nevertheless references to many false prophets. The Septuagint (LXX) talks about the priests and the false prophets (ἱερεῖς καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται), and often links them together. The term ἱερεύς in this context refers to a priest, one who offers sacrifices to a god, an idol, or an evil spirit. So the LXX suggests that the false prophets are priestly insofar as they encourage the worship of idols (cf. Zech 13:2). Jeremiah 34:9-10 (LXX) associates false prophets with divination, enchantments, clairvoyance, dreams, sorceries, and with lies. Similarly, in the NT, false prophets are magicians, sorcerers, & illusionists (cf. Acts 13:6). This is reminiscent of 2 Thess. 2:9-11 in which the Antichrist “will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie.” Likewise, in the Hebrew Bible, the false prophets are prophesying lying wonders and working miracles (see Exod. 7:8-13; Jer. 6:13). In the NT, they even rise from the dead (Rev. 13:3) and perform “great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth” (Rev. 13:13) in order to deceive if possible even the elect (Mt. 24:24).
False Prophets in the NT
Both Mt. 7:15 & Mt. 24:11 warn that there will be many false prophets (ψευδοπροφῆται) who will deceive the world. Matthew 24:24 speaks of false Christs (ψευδόχριστοι) and false prophets who perform “great signs and wonders.” Second Pet. 2:1 associates false prophets with false teachers who secretly introduce destructive heresies, even those that deny Jesus’ lordship. Similarly, 1 Jn warns of deception and commands Christians to “test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. … This is the spirit of antichrist” (1 Jn 4:1–3). Thus, false prophets have the spirit of Antichrist. The apostle Paul calls them “false apostles” (2 Cor. 11:13) and “false brothers” (Gal. 2:4).
The most notorious false prophet in the Bible is the one referenced in the Book of Revelation. In Rev. 19:20, the signs that the False prophet performs in the presence of the Antichrist may be analogous to the signs that Jesus performs in the presence of the Holy Spirit who anoints him with power (see Lk 4:18; Acts 10:38). In fact, the relationship between the False prophet and the Antichrist seems to be analogous to the relationship between the first and second person of the Trinity in which the Word is not only with God but the Word is God, meaning that the Word & God are one and the same (see Jn 1:1). Thus, the reference to the Devil, his son (the Antichrist), and the unclean spirit (personified in the figure of the False prophet) may signify an unholy trinity of three persons who nevertheless share one being (Rev. 16:13). Let’s not forget that the great dragon——“that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan”——is thrown down to the earth and takes the form of a man, as mentioned in Rev. 12:9. And just as Jesus, who is God incarnate, is called a prophet in Mt. 21:11, so the dragon, or Satan incarnate, may be dubbed the False prophet in Rev. 16:13. Matthew 7:15 warns of false prophets who come in “sheep’s clothing,” but who are “ferocious wolves.” This is echoed in Rev. 13:11 where the second Beast (False prophet) looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon.
Conclusion
Curiously enough, it’s the False prophet who works miracles, not the Antichrist. But if the Antichrist is far more important, and if the False prophet is subordinate to the Antichrist, surely the Antichrist must have more power than him. Yet, in the Bible, the opposite seems true, which doesn’t make any sense. That’s why it seems far more plausible that they are one and the same person, just like the two witnesses and the two OT messiahs are one and the same person. So, the reference to the two beasts from the earth and the sea may be an allusion to a single individual who possesses two natures: a human & a spiritual one. Therefore, it seems far more plausible to assume that the False Prophet is the Antichrist, who is also known by many other titles, such as “the man of lawlessness,” “the son of destruction” (2 Thess. 2:3), and the "Little horn" (Daniel 7:8, 20; 8:9-12, 23-26)!

God Still Performs Great Miracles, Signs And Wonders Today; What Is The Greatest Miracle That Anyone Can Do Today?
“God is a God of miracles! Through the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, we see miracles, signs and wonders. In Exodus 34:10 it says, “Then God said, ‘Behold, I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform miracles, which have not been produced in all the earth.’” In the New Testament, Hebrews 2:4 says, “God also bearing witness with them both by signs and wonders…

BECOMING THE ENCOUNTER
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole." -  Isaiah 53:5 AMP
If the Church will consecrate itself and begin to corporately step out to reach the lost in this hour, it will serve as a powerful wave that unleashes world-wide revival. This is a call to "become the encounter" the world so desperately needs.
Right now, God is looking for firebrands: people who will do whatever it takes to have a burning bush encounter. In order to "become the encounter," you must expect to catch fire -- in order to catch fire, you must give God your burning bush consciousness to burn (Matthew 7:8).
It is the spirit of praise and worship that draws the glory-presence of God on the earth.  Praise and worship and advancing God’s Kingdom through your Christ calling go together – they create the catalyst for public displays of repentance and effective evangelism and the desire for teaching.
Personally, we are being called to host God's presence. This comes by pressing into God not just for a momentary encounter, but an encounter that leaves us changed forever.  God is interested in marking those that will step up to the plate with His presence and power for the greatest harvest and personal discipling we've ever seen.
When we preach that the Kingdom of God is at hand, we must trust that with this comes, discipling believers into their Christ identity, the healing of the sick, the raising of the dead,  and the casting out of devils (see Matthew 10:8). This requires courageous lovers of God to fearlessly "light themselves on fire."
Expect to see an abundance of great grace, strength, and faith being imparted to you when you resolve to take new land and emancipate yourself from small limited thinking as you encounter higher realms of God's presence.
Expect to move from glory to glory as you see new manifestations in the realm of miracles, signs and wonders, and divine appointments to minister to unbelievers in public everywhere you go.
It's time to become the encounter!

Miracles, Signs, & Wonders
Having Faith in all things includes faith in the miraculous.
Jesus performed miracles, signs and wonders to demonstrate his love and compassion for people. He Healed the sick, raised the dead, and walked on water. Jesus's power and authority as Son of God can do these things.
The power of the Holy Spirit lives within those who believe and know Jesus. Jesus commissioned us, his followers to extend His love and compassion to the world, to witness the power of Christ through miracles, signs and wonders.
we have faith God can do the impossible and is behind inexplicable things. As you move through life we pray God opens our eyes to see His power at work. There is power in collective prayer and belief.
As we see miracles, we glorify his name the author of all things good. we expect him to show up in our lives through miracles, signs and wonders.

Investment
I was once told that I have a lot invested in “the lie of hyper-dispensationalism”, in fact, “way too much in order to change to the truth”, meaning that if I did “see the light of Pentecostalism and nominal churchianity” after believing and blogging as I do, I would have egg all over my face, but regardless of this, I should still “seek the truth”. What type of Christian believes that the only…
