October 2, 2016 begins yet another remarkable season as we enter into year 5777 on the Hebraic Calendar. The numerology itself of this new year tells us it is an unprecedented year. The number 5 is the number representing Grace and 7 is the most sacred and mystical of all numbers and it represents Completion, Fullness, Perfection and the total spectrum of who God is. The scriptures tell us that there are “7 spirits of God” (Rev. 4:5 and 5:6) and that there are “7 eyes of God” (Rev. 5:6) and “7 horns” of God (also Rev. 5:6) These all speak to us of this spiritual connection between God and the number 7. The Bible also tells us that the rainbow and it’s 7 colors surround the throne room of God (Rev.4:3). The 777 dynamic of this year is something that only occurs once every 1000 years and it of course has never before come preceded by the significant number 5.

So much to process and share right now. My recent trip to Colombia had some remarkable highlights that I want to tell about because it gives a little insight of practical ways we can begin to cross over into "secular" settings with kingdom presence and kingdom solutions.

First of all, it was so interesting that while my siblings were texting me telling me my mom was in the last stages of life here on earth, I was in the home of a high government official praying for people to be healed- and delivered. A politicians' mother was healed from a totally deaf ear and she cried as her mother told how she could now hear. The power of God was strong in the house and tears, shaking and even demonic casting out was taking place. My phone kept buzzing with new texts about my mom but the government official kept bringing people before me that needed prayer and it really was the right thing to be about.

September is specifically designed to be a month of breakthrough prosperity. It is the closing month of the Year of Jubilee and it will be the greatest month of this year (5776-Hebraic calendar) of mercy and grace.

Here is some context: So much about what God has been after is us getting huge breakthroughs in important character matters that can then sustain huge breakthroughs in influence and finances.

There is a reality that when the kingdom of God on earth accelerates that its' "collateral damage” can be "bad news”. For media observers trained in extracting and highlighting bad news this can be a time of great undeserved influence. For those of us regularly informed by that media we can be significantly distracted from objective truth by the anecdotal bad facts of the day. Facts can distract from truth.

This is also true in your personal life where the present “bad news” surrounding your realities may be belying a great kingdom good that is happening to you. Your personal “facts” may be distracting you or even deceiving you as to the truth of what is taking place in your life. Your contradiction of circumstances can trouble or distress you if you don’t rise above them and find godly objective perspective.

First of all, for those who don’t know who I am it is important that I point out that I am a white, American male. However, I am one that was born and raised on the mission field of Peru, South America, and no doubt that affects my perspectives. Secondly, I have an African, unofficially adopted son. Thirdly, my extended family is very mixed with seemingly all races, and I myself performed the wedding ceremony for two, white nieces who married black males. Lastly, I am one that champions a message of social reform, and I am always looking past the obvious and looking for root causes.

"Texas, as you pass through the waters I am with you. I am raising you as a pulpit for the nation."

The Lord has been speaking to me about Texas as I have watched the news stories of the intense rains and severe flooding of this state that had formerly experienced extreme drought. In the last two years they have had consecutive once-in-every 500 years floods, which tells us they are very, very unusual rains.

I have been having a repeat vision of the Father standing up from His throne in an enraged state. The scripture with it every time is Psalm 78:65,66.

"Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, And like a mighty man who shouts because of wine. And He beat back His enemies; He put them to perpetual reproach."

I believe we have entered an extended season where this is a manifestation of just such a time. You know, Father is very, very patient. He is an observer of processes and He is so very interested in what people, powers and principalities do when He just let's them assume He doesn't see something or is limited in His ability to respond.

A swirling revolutionary wind of reformation from heaven is about to descend on us in May and we will be under its' strong grip for the next 5 months. For many of us it will feel like decisions are being made for us and the shifts, changes, adjustments, placements and displacements will seem virtually out of our control. Faith, trust and worshipping God are the appropriate response and preparation for this season. This will be at a personal level, at a church level and at a national level. We are so out of order at every level that the Holy Spirit is coming in to bring order out of chaos. In many instances it will look like He is first bringing chaos out of order- but that would be a misread. Much of the "order" that exists is just the stale status quo. The status quo is about to be broken up in every area and in every way. Church is out of order, state is out of order and in many ways we are out of order.

The Azusa Now event signified the arrival of what I had previously seen as a great blue wave. That was a wave of revival and revelation that will reverberate a long time. I now see a great red wave coming in for Passover and there is a RED wave alert associated with it. Right up front let me state that this RED wave is nothing to be afraid of and nothing to dread. God forbid that I would ever be used to frighten His kids in a season where He has determined so much victory and advancement  for us. This RED wave is about how the blood of Jesus is going to be taking over matters through the rest of 2016 and some of what that will look like.

At various times throughout history, Christians have filled stadiums, packed-out key locations, and coordinated events involving millions, yet none have seemed to lead to a sustained move of God. Many were important events in their own right, but didn't translate into an actual movement. It's important to know that, whether you're able to attend or not, I believe what will be released at Azusa Now on April 9th in the Los Angeles Coliseum will be different. A convergence of the ages will come into full synchronicity and will mark a change to life as we know it.

“The day is near when I the Lord will judge all nations! As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall on your own heads.” Obadiah 1:15 (NLT)

Even as my heart goes out to Brussels, Belgium and the many victims of another senseless jihadist terrorist attack, yet I am stirred in my spirit to note the fulfillment of scripture that is taking place. It is well documented and established, Europe’s rising anti-semitism often disguised and hidden by its’ “Palestinian compassion” posture. What Europe is presently experiencing is exactly Israel’s reality.

There was quite an upset in the 50th Super Bowl as the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24 -10 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The Broncos, with white horses on their helmets, defeated the imposing, Carolina Panthers who proudly wore their black panthers logos. The winning team was led by #18, 39 year-old Peyton Manning, and MVP #58, Von Miller. The halftime show, considered controversial by many Christians, creatively promoted love and tolerance with rainbow colors throughout and a black pride tribute. 

I'd like to explain why events like this one can be a valid way of extracting a message from God. Romans 1:20 tells us that the “invisible things of Him” are seen and understood by the things that are made. Luke 19:40 tells us that “the rocks will cry out” with the revelation of who He is.
