I’m taking the Church to a Street called Straight, and I’m going to take
the blinders off of your eyes and I’m going to pull the dark glasses off
of your eyes and you’re going to see who you really are. You are the
Isaiahs, the Jeremiahs, the Pauls, the Peters, the James, the Johns of
this generation. You are the Deborahs, the Hannahs. You are the
spiritual elite and the power force of this nation, but yet it is all
cloaked in a Street called Straight and in the humility of Christ.
You will not go around with flashy robes from the temple mount, with
scriptures all over yourself and boasting of your position and your
power. But you will be so unrecognizable even in this day and age that
they will call you the carpenter’s son. Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?
Isn’t this the lowly one who wears a robe and rides a donkey? No, but
inside will be the fullness and the calling of the Holy Spirit, of the
Son of God, of the power that rocked the Early Church.
It will be direct in humility, but inside you are going to begin to see
and to know who you really are. You are a son and a daughter of Almighty
God; you are equipped with the power of the Holy Ghost. You having the
calling of a prophet, an intercessor, a Moses, a Daniel, a John, a
Peter, a James. You are not going to see yourself as you did in days
before this day. You are going to begin to realize mentally that you are
what God says you are, without boasting, without pride.
You will have the humility of the Savior within you. You will not need
to flash your gifting. You will not need to prove your calling. You will
even hide your calling at times from others. You will go and get in the
locker when they pass by and they won’t even see you. There’s no need to
show who you are. But when the need is there, you will show who you are.
God will show through you who you are.
But you are going to realign and readjust your thinking. You are going
to realize you have power with God. You have power with God. You have
power with God. You have power with God! You are not the lowly
handmaiden of the Lord who scrubs the floors. You are the Deborah of God
who stands on the mountain and calls down the forces of God. But yet you
cloak yourself with the wash woman’s robe. You do not boast or lord it
over others. You will lift a sparrow from a fallen nest. There’s not
arrogance in you. There’s not the ability to hurt others within you with
your pride and your whole position. You’re going to see a blending of
the humility of Christ with the power of God and it will be glorious; it
will be beautiful.
But from this day forward you’re going to begin to have a revelation of
who you truly are in the spirit realm, and what you are, and the power
that you carry and the ability that you have to call on your Father in
Heaven. The enemy has severed the Church’s ability to call upon the
Father, because he’s got them believing that they are not even worthy to
walk in the mantles and the callings that the Father has said they could
walk in. And if the sons and daughters were not allowed to grow up they
would become proud if they understood who they really were.
The exact opposite will happen. The more you understand who you truly
are, the meeker and the weaker and the gentler and the kinder you are
going to become. You are going to become like the Son of God. You will
hide when they come to get you; you will not show your gifting off; you
won’t even minister to some they call upon you to minister to them. And
yet you will go to others who seemingly don’t deserve it and you will
lavish the power of the Holy Ghost on them. You will be like Jesus in
attitude and in thought and in heart, and even in lowliness of stature
and appearance at times, but inside the fullness of the Godhead dwells
in you as it did in Him, and you are going to discover this power with
God.
And some of you are going to be into out of the body experiences and up
on the mountains of prayer and you are going experience what Daniel and
Joseph and Paul and Peter and James knew: the power of transfiguration,
the power of the Gospel.
Blinders are coming off and spiritual revelation is coming in of who you
are, what you are and what you can accomplish in intercessory prayer to
your Father in Heaven. Ministries this day are bumped to another level,
saith the Lord. There are national ministries coming forth out of this
group. There are national ministries that are going to pop out of this
group and they’re going to rock this nation with power of God. They’re
going to rock this nation with the glory of God. They’re going rock this
nation with the revelation of God.
And none are going to gainsay nor resist them because they will walk in
humility. They will disappear after ministering and you won’t even be
able to find them. You won’t even know. There won’t be any boasting;
there won’t be any banners; there won’t be announcing the next great
conference where the man of God or the woman of God is going to speak
and they’re all going to come and they’re going to rake in the coins.
It’s not going to be that way; it’s not going to happen. You’re going to
do what He did. You’re going to bounce around this country and show up
here and show up there and no ones going to know you’re coming invisibly
and the power of God is going to fall: and eyes will open; arms will
grow; salvations will come, saith the Lord, and it will be done through
the humility of the cloak of Christ. You will ride the donkey that
Christ rode. You will walk as he walked and you will go and you will
live upon the street called Straight, saith the Lord.
Oh God, you are releasing New Testament mantles of Christianity in our
midst and I thank you, dear God. I thank you. That which we have longed
for so long is upon us. That which we’ve dreamed of for so long is at
our hand. We are going to see the power of God move and we’re going to
see ministers after the order of New Testament church. And they’re going
to walk in the way that Jesus walked in the humility that he walked in,
and they’re going to do the things the way He did them.
And I thank you, God. You’ve even hidden it from the wise and revealed
it to the babes. Thank you, God. Thank you for a new order of things. Oh
Lord Jesus, come be among us, walk, teach us. Take us down to Galilee
and show us, God. Take us to the road of Emmaus. Teach us as you taught
them.
You’re still here; you’re still teaching. You haven’t changed a lick.
It’s we who’ve got to get in step with you and the way you do things.
You are not a flashy man. You do not promote yourself from town to town.
You do not go in after coins. And until the Church walks as you walked,
we’re not going to have the power that you had, and we’re not going to
walk in what you walked in. You will not come our way; we must go yours.
Teach us how to walk with you, Lord Jesus– how not to boast about
ourselves, how not to boast about our ministries, how not to do the
ministry. But teach us how you did it and how we can walk with you in it
- in humility, even in obscurity of calling. Thank you, Lord God.
And may your power rest mightily upon those who are in humility and
working behind the scenes: brought forth by the Hand of God, in the time
of God, for the purpose of God and then disappearing back into the
woodwork. Thank you, dear God. Thank you for a Street called Straight.
