Hello everyone,

It has been a while since you last heard of us. The whole family here at Forerunner Ministries has been quite busy fighting off the evil one in one way or another, and we apologize if that spiritual war kept us from staying in touch with all of you.

Heaven's Rehearsal : What a blessed night

2007-09-23T17:11:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone,

As you all know, Heaven's Rehearsal took place on September 2007 at the Air Canada Center in Toronto. To refresh your memory on how Mary and I came to go there, check out my post on that subject by clicking here.

Well, my friends, brothers and sisters, we were blessed by having quite a few of our friends from Forerunner Ministries come to Toronto too for that blessed weekend. Plus, we also had Ken, Maureen, Melanie, Joel, Ken, Jacques, Joanne and Helen that I had met at our August conference at Still Life Retreat.

We all got there sometime on Saturday afternoon and met in a conference room at the Westin Harbour Castle, where we were staying, for intercessory prayer for Maureen and Melanie from Northern Connections that were part of the worship event, and also to prepare ourselves for the blessed evening.

Keep on scrolling down to see pictures of video of the event itself and other great moments of the weekend.

Give us your comments or send us an email if you have any questions about the event.

God bless you all!

Here we are praying for Maureen before she went on to perform for God in Heaven's Rehearsal. You can also see Ken, Joanne, Jacqques and Jennifer from left to right on that picture.

Look at the three portholes above her. There was something prophetic about them.

Here's Mary, having a gastronomic dinner before the event!

Here is our little group, on its way to the event. What is the name of that tower in the background again?

Look at this line-up! Over 15 000 people showed up, from 202 countries, to do one thing : To worship the one and only God!

A glimpse of the parade of the nations at the beginning of the event.

You are never too young to worship your God!

Below is a video to give you a glimpse of the heavenly joy and annointing that everybody shared that night. The most fabulous part of the event was not what was happening on stage, but what was happening all around us : Thousands upon thousands lifting up their voice to worship and praise God!

Wish you had been with us. If that is your wish too for our next outings, road assignments or any other heavenly appointed missions, check out our calendar on a regular basis and contact us by email.

God bless you all!

An assignment to the River of Life

2007-09-10T17:49:00.000-05:00

Hello brothers and sisters,

A quick update to let you know that we were lead by the Holy Spirit to follow up on our mission to Mont Rigaud.

(Click here to get a map of our road assignments' geographical locations)

It came to our siter Lis as a vision. Here is how she recalls it :

"On a Tuesday night at Franklyn’s, I (Lis) had a vision. I saw us all standing in rushing water. I saw us all from behind side by side and only the legs with pants rolled up to the knees. The word repentance was very strong. It was about personal repentance. I had the distinct feeling that the vision was not finished.

The place we are going to (the Rouge River) was part of the vision"

That's all we needed (give or take one or two confirmations, some prayer into it, etc. etc.) to arrange for our group to meet up at the Rouge River on a beautiful afternoon.

The only thing missing was : What were we supposed to do once we got there? We just stepped out in faith, as was expected of us by the Lord. We knew full well that He would provide us with further instructions and revelations as we went along.

Good thing we did step out in faith, as this turned out to be an afternoon of revelation, conviction and repentence. That is all I will say for now, as I am working on editing the video from this latest road assignment.

For now, enjoy the pictures below to put yourself in the mood of that afternoon. And don't forget to answer our poll at the right of the screen, just below the picture!

God bless you all!

It's all about worhsip

2007-08-03T13:36:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time since our last post. Hope you are enjoying your summer and take time to revel in God's beautiful creation. We have been quite busy here at Forerunner Ministries, spiritually that is!

As you know, the Lord has clearly indicated to us that this is a season of worship. If you have been following our posts in the past few months, you know that our brother Rick has been getting massive spiritual downloads and a miraculous worship music anointing. It's all about Selah, about pausing, meditating and turning our every actions and perceptions as an act of worship to the Lord.

Furthermore, on a more somber note, we are getting signals and messages from everywhere, even from the most established ministries, indicating that the body of Christ is under INTENSE spiritual attack, creating division amongst its followers. In itself, that is not a big surprise, as the enemy will try everything it can when he feels we are getting too close to the Prize. We can't let our guards down and must press on and, most importantly, stay united.

As a confirmation of all this, I got this word from Jesus the other night. I saw His face, through a mist of tears, and He was sad. I asked Him why He was sad, He replied :

“I am saddened and disappointed to see people sneaking stones from my temple that is being rebuilt, only to take those stones away to build another temple, supposedly in my name. They convinced themselves over time that I appointed them to build this other temple, when in fact, I have not. This make-believe temple will not last, it will crumble.”

I got this vision and word after I was lead to read Matthew 16:17-19 and Matthew 17:4. In essence, it is interesting to note, while reading those verses, that Peter is a good example of how we can be misled, over time, when we take our relationship with our Father for granted.

He started out by pleasing Jesus because he had spoken what had been revealed to him by the Father and be the first to call Jesus the Christ. Because of his obedience, Peter received this great promise from Jesus (Matthew 16:17-19) that, while I was reading it that night, brought me to tears, as I can only imagine how joyful Peter must have felt at that very moment.

Unfortunately, he went from the heights of obedience and listening to the voice of God, back to relying on man’s knowledge and understanding (all of us can relate to that, can't we? Can you say : Theology, Dogma or Religious Spirit?) at the very moment where Jesus was supernaturally revealing himself as who He really was, flanked by none other than the two most significant prophets of the Old Testament.

It is very clear that Peter's plan to build shelters cited in Matthew 17:4 was not of God. The time was clearly a time of worship, not a time of building. Peter had convinced himself that building these shelters were the right thing to do to please Jesus and God, when all that was required of him was worship.

Let that be a warning to us! The season we're in is not so much in building on our own understanding, perceptions, theology or will, but more about worship. Our worship is the mortar needed for rebuilding the Temple according to His will. Let’s not disappoint Jesus.

As further confirmation of this, I invite you to visit the Heaven's Rehearsal website. We heard about this tremendous event a few days after God gave me this vision. Imagine this : 15 000 people from all of the 202 internationally recognized countries at the Air Canada Center in Toronto for a whole night of worship! It's all about preparing the bride, not building a house. No message, just worship!

I strongly urge you to visit the site by clicking here and get your tickets. They are only 20$ for individuals or 15$ for groups of 10 or more. My wife and I already got our tickets. We just can't wait for September 2007.

Email us at Forerunner Ministries if you are planning to attend, as we would like to organize an informal intercessory prayer session in preparation just before the worship gathering.

May God bless all of you abundantly!

Prayer Request for our sister Mary

2007-06-28T18:43:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone,

We, at our Forerunner Ministries, believe in the power of prayer and intercession. That is why this post is so important and special to us.

Following our last mailing, our sister Mary that Franklyn and Amy had the pleasure of meeting at Franklyn's last prophetic conference at Still Life Retreat, wrote me back and told me the predicament that her and her husband are in.

With her permission, I am giving you the details of their situation so that you can be very specific in your prayers and rebuke and speak against anything that is not of God out of their situation. In the same breath, I ask that you speak blessings, understanding and peace into their heart and resolution for their situation.

So, quoting Mary's emails, here is what we're all up against as members of the Body of Christ:

"[Doug, my husband was] let go from his job in April because of his health. ... we’re presently fighting this with a lawyer because they want to leave us high and dry with no income or insurance benefits for LTD.

...right now I just need the prayers. My husband has severe COPD and is presently in a rehab trying to rebuild his weight and strength to withstand a lung transplant. In the middle of this news (the news of the only thing to help him is a lung transplant), he was terminated from his job. We have now been fighting through a lawyer to have him put back on long term disability and this has been going on for nearly 3 months. In the meantime, we are trying to live on ¼ of his income from his EI benefits. This is not paying the mortgage or bills and we’re getting a little worried going into the 3^rd full month.

I’ve been so discouraged today from my latest talk with our lawyer and facing at least another month without proper income. I’m really concerned we’re going to lose our house and I know our credit is going to be ruined from not being able to pay the bills. Unfortunately, the unemployment Doug is eligible for is only 30-35% of his previous salary and doesn’t even cover the 4 auto-debits we have coming out of our bank account, which 1 is the mortgage. Just lift us up in prayer and especially pray I can keep my wits about me, especially when I go to visit Doug. He needs to stay positive so he can focus on trying to get better and build up his strength.

As you can see, Mary and Doug's situation is far from being encouraging by this Earth's standards. Yet, in my electronic correspondance with Mary, I can feel that she keeps her chin up and puts her hope in the Lord.

Won't you please, please put Mary and Doug somewhere close to the top of your prayer list, so that the good Lord will release blessings into their lives according to His will and plans for them as a couple and as individuals. What better way for all of us to answer our Lord's instructions :

"Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up....pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:13-15

Doug, Mary, know that our prayers are with you.

For those of you who would wish to get send a note to them, here is their email address : kygal@sympatico.ca. I am sure they would be greatly encouraged by your kind words and prayers.

So, my brothers and sisters in Christ : Let's gather around Doug and Mary and shield them with our prayers!

God bless you all!

Sharing God's Mercy; Tale of a Baptism in the Holy Spirit

2007-05-13T21:04:00.000-05:00

That night, I felt like my wife Mary and I needed a nice landing from a hectic weekend. So, I put on some music, and we retreated to our bedroom for some Bible reading and worship. Looking for my scrubs that I usually wear on such occasions, I come upon a, shall I say rather "original" outfit that Mary had gotten me as a goofy gift. Feeling a bit silly and playful, I put it on. I decide to keep it on, since it IS quite comfortable. The mood was set, I guess, for a night that would turn out to be out of the ordinary!

After this, I laid down and start reading my Bible. I read 1 Corithians 6:18-20. These particular verses hit home big time with me .

Right at the end of chapter 6, I placed my Bible on my chest, and started praying for forgiveness, with a real sense of shame in my heart. At that point, Mary had dozed off on my shoulder, and was gently sleeping.

After only a couple of minutes, I feel a nagging pain in my jaw, like it’s about to dislocate. To my great surprise, I feel my lips start moving on their own. I try to fight it back, but when I do, the pain is too much to bear. So I just go with it, and I start what feels like praying (I say « feel » because I don’t know what I’m saying!) at an ever increasing speed. I hear what I say, but I don’t understand it. I do it as silently as I can, for fear that Mary will hear me and think I’ve lost it.

After what feels like 10 or 20 minutes of this, I feel Mary stir on my shoulder, so I lie on my back, eyes closed, and try to keep my mouth from moving. This is how Mary catches me, apparently asleep with my mouth open!

She asks me if I had fallen asleep while I was reading. At first, I felt like telling her yes, but then I decide to tell her the truth. She then tells me that she doesn’t think I’m nuts and that she’s actually envious of what’s happening to me. That’s when All Heaven Broke Loose! (Thank you Amy for that new expression, I love it).

I kept on praying earnestly in tongues, going from the depth of dark despair to the heights of spiritual drunkenness. Mary and I had giggling fits like we hadn’t had in months, but in between those, I had fur-ball coughing fits, intense jaw pains at times, and my body was trashed about the bed and the bedroom floor, as if I was a puppet.

The general feeling of this whole night was one of cleansing, asking forgiveness and repenting for my past sins and God rewarding me in between these cleansing episodes with joy beyond compare, as if he was giving me breaks from this intense work he was doing in me.

Some highlights of those intense 3 hours :

I’m thrown on the floor on many occasions next to my bed, weeping, asking for forgiveness, not able to look up from the floor;
Mary and I have a giggling fit when, while I’m still speaking in tongues, she says “Now I know what they mean by being drunk in the Holy Spirit”;
Another giggling fit starts when Mary says to me “I hope you’ll switch back to French (my mother tongue and the language I speak at work) for work tomorrow morning”. When she says that, I somewhat regain partial control of my body and manage to mimic a Powerpoint presentation while I’m still speaking in tongues;
Most of my praying is done with very sharp forward head movements, as if I’m praying with resolve. My prayer, or whatever I’m saying in tongues is not repetitive;
Many times, without warning, my head simply falls on the bed while I’m kneeling on the floor. I then lie there for a few minutes, and then my head springs back up as I start speaking in tongues again.;
I sometimes try to speak to Mary in English, but my mouth keeps speaking in tongues, to our amazement. These episodes usually lead us to another joyful explosion, as I willingling submit to the power that allows me to speak to God in the language of his choice;
When I regain control of my voice, I tell Mary how great all this feels, that I don’t want it to end. I tell her that it’s better than anything I’ve ever experienced in my life, plus, it’s free. That’s when the Holy Spirit forces me to my knees, rams my head into the mattress, and then my head shoots up and the Holy Spirits says through me, as I’m looking intently at Mary : “This isn’t free; what did it cost me?” and Mary answers, quite startled and shaken : “Your life”. Then my voice asks her :”What do I want from you?” and Mary answers, as her eyes fill up with tears “My life”. Mary later told me that she felt a sharp pain in heart after I told her that, confirming a Word that had been said to her that day. That was the first time I ever had a word of wisdom for anyone;
At some point, I say to Mary : “God has great plans for you, but not yet. I say to her, His time is going to be your time”. I guess it meant that God will act out His plans with Mary once he feels that she’s ready to give her life to him, to totally submit to him. That was the first prophecy I ever had;
After a coughing fit, I look at the hand with which I was covering my mouth, and then, looking up at Mary, I say :”This isn’t mine”, knowing in my heart that I felt these sins I was coughing up weren’t mine : These were my first steps as an intercessor;
That’s when I feel like I’m being used to rid the world of other people’s sins, and I’m filled with fear. I pray to God and Jesus that I’m their willing servant but that I will need them to stay by my side to allow me to not fall on the side of the sins I’m trying to spit out. My fear soon vanishes, as I feel the Holy presence filling me up ;
Mary then tells me something about ridding our house from the evil spirits that are in it. I happily start walking around the house, praying in every room, still in tongues. At one point, I stop dead in my tracks in the living room, lean against the wall, and start praying to Jesus, once again filled with humility and fear :”Please Jesus, walk with me, stay with me. I can’t do this alone! I need your presence, your shelter to keep me from sin and temptation”. I then start walking again around the house, filled with joy and laughter, praying over the doors, the windows and everything I touch;

So, there it is folks! Told you it was awesome. Hope it touched you. If it did, make sure you pass it on. I will go on praying for the saved and the unsaved, so that they receive Christ in their hearts and the Holy Spirit in His full measure.

Hope you enjoyed the music too!

Thank you Rick, for that Holy Spirit inspired music!

May God bless you abundantly!

Our second mission. Code Name : Trailblazer

2007-04-23T15:21:00.000-05:00

Hello once again, fellow Christians and Christians-to-be.

Very exciting news this week, as we are glad to report that our Lord has appointed us, at Forerunner Ministries, through visions, downloads and confirmations, to go on top of Mont Rigaud (a nice little mountain in our region, see the picture to the left) to reclaim a territory that, as we all know, belongs to the Lord and to break down language, denominational, provincial and religious barriers.

So, all of us, at Forerunner Ministries, went for a day of fellowship, hiking, but, most of all, spiritual warfare.

Amongst the highlights of that day :

A fabulous message by our good friend Dave, all the way from Ontario, who, as a final confirmation, called Franklyn out of the blue, to tell him that the Lord had told him he had to drive nine hours to be with us, although he didn’t quite know why…
A nice time of fellowship climbing up the mountain, all of us, with our youngsters in tow. The Lord even made sure it didn’t rain while we were walking in the woods and that His cleansing rain poured down while we were sheltered on top of the mountain, praying for the region;
Communion at the top of the mountain. Just as we were starting our communion, two fellow Christians, unknown to us in this world, but brothers in Christ (one from Vermont one from our region), came up the trail, and had communion with us. Talk about divine appointment!
We rededicated the cross at the top with wine and anointing oil.

If that is not enough to get you excited about working for the Kingdom, I don’t know what will.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

THIS is worth reading until the very end....Let There Be Light Conference

2007-03-21T17:55:00.000-05:00

On the weekend of March 2-4, 2007 some brothers and sisters participants from Forerunner Ministries and myself joined up with Still Life Retreat for our eighth prophetic conference entitled “Let There Be Light”. As with the previous seven prophetic conferences, this one was an incredible blow-out experience with the Holy Spirit! When our friend the Holy Spirit is in charge, you never know what to expect, but you know that you'll be challenged, enlightened, and push to new heights.

We had a sellout crowd, and could barely fit another person in the room. We started Friday afternoon with some intercessory prayer time that developed into a meeting in its own right, as the Lord ministered to us in the area of work that we have done for the kingdom that we had felt had amounted to nothing.

A lot of healing took place in this area, and the Lord showed us an image of seeds and how we needed to give our seed to the Lord. Later that evening, a friend of ours, Louisa from San Diego, phoned from her home with a surprise prophetic word for us all about seeds! So we knew we were on the right track.

That evening, I spoke about our need for a real relationship with God, and about the fact that without true relationship involving two-way communication, we are nowhere with God. Everything about God revolves around relationship. Having a real relationship with God involves much more than a simple prayer of salvation.

On Saturday, I shared a vision that I had received from the Lord on the nature of church. This was a very powerful vision, and we will keep you posted on that on the blog very soon. Make sure you visit often.

In the afternoon we did a “Prophecy 101 Course”, and everyone there was given an opportunity to prophesy over a number of people and to receive prophetic words. This was really excellent; about half the people had never given a prophetic word before in their life. But with a little encouragement, they were off and running; we have many testimonies of the accuracy of these words.

On Saturday evening, I was led by the Lord to share another very powerful vision that I had regarding a place in heaven called The Majestic Glory. This was an intense time and we were all heavily convicted by the Holy Spirit as to the shallowness of our relationship with him. In the vision, I was being held in an embrace by my Heavenly Father, as he wanted to share with me some of the things that were on His heart. Afterwards, many people just laid on the floor, caught up in the presence of God for a long time, as we had so many things that we need to get straightened out in our relationship with him.

During the worship time on Sunday, the Lord led me to do a painting of Christ on the cross, but instead of using water to paint the picture, the Lord directed me to use a bottle of fine red wine, symbolizing Christ’s blood shed for us. Although I have a background in painting, I had not really touched a brush in over a year.

This was a very powerful time, as in worship we could see the blood dripping from his hands and running down the paper. Later, many people share testimonies and we used the paintbrush to anoint people with wine, another tremendously powerful experience with the Lord. Truly, the creativity of the Holy Spirit is something to be marveled at.

Then, I spoke about a revelation that our group at Forerunner Ministries has been receiving in the area of worship. We have been learning how all creation has been created as a worship orchestra for God. Numerous times, Scriptures tell about how the sun and the stars sing to the Lord (See the books of Job and Psalms). The Lord has been showing us how sound and light are different ends of the same spectrum, and are all worship to God. So I went on the Internet and found audio clips of the sounds that different stars make and I downloaded them onto a CD.

I told the people at the conference that we were going to listen to some awesome worship music that was composed by God himself. And I can prove that fact to them from the Scriptures. And that we were going to listen to little clips of individual instruments that were a part of a larger orchestra that is creating the most awesome worship music ever created. And so we put on a CD of these little clips of sounds sort of like drumbeats and some are kind of like flutes or stringed instruments. But these are all sounds that are created by stars of different sizes and different densities. So we put this music on repeat as I explained to the people of the congregation how the whole universe, created by God, was made as a gigantic orchestra, a God-sized orchestra, to play a never ending worship Symphony created by God, for God. When the music stopped, people were on their face on the floor, crying out to God as we realized how our little worship band, and halfhearted hymns are so shallow, compared to the grandeur and awesomeness of our Lord. I hope to be able to explain this to you in more detail, as I get the time. So stay tuned on the blog for future updates.

May God bless you abundantly

Your brother in Christ,

Franklyn Spence

The Ephod Stones

2007-02-20T19:48:00.000-05:00

To follow-up on Rick's message in our last meeting, here is a the list of the twelve stones that were on the high-priest's ephod, and how they relate to our God's various names :

The list above is but only a summary of Rick's notes. Through revelation of the Holy Spirit, Rick has written pages upon pages on the subject of the Holy of Holies and the ephod.

Thanks you Rick for your obedience and devotion to Scripture Study, from which stems such edifying revelation.

God Bless!

Mission Accomplished!

We read our decree and blew the shofar at the four corners of Parliament Hill.

Mary, giving it all she's got!

Email us if you'd like a copy of our decree.

Inside the Parliament, each played their part : Some were on diversion tactics, while others were annointing everything they could get their hands on with annointing oil.

We all joined in EFC's Eternal Flame Prayer Gathering.

Here, you can see Chris, deep in prayer.

Further Instructions from the Commander in Chief

2007-01-10T21:12:00.000-05:00

By C. Fitzgerarld

This is the “word” I shared last night. I was praying and talking to the Lord on Friday morning, January 5th 2007, asking Him about the Saturday commission.

This is what He said. “You are to go forth and be the spearhead for the nation. You are to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You are my kingdom on earth."

"I am King in your life and Lord of all your desires. You will be flanked with prayer and praise. You will not lean to your own understanding. Wait for Me. I Am the Head of the army. Come behind Me. My angels do my bidding."

"Pray and praise. I will give you words. You must pray more and more in tongues. You must become passionate for the lost, and bold in prophesying and healing."

"You must soak yourself in the word, for my Word is alive and active and quickening. I Am King and this is war for my kingdom. The nation of Canada will impact the world, but only as my warriors stand armed, praising and worshipping. The angels are my warriors. They will do battle but YOU, my kings and priests, must pray and praise."

Praise the Lord for his never-ending mercy.

I am an ambassador, one of Christ’s representatives in this world.
As an intercessor and watchman for the Lord, I am seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
I am blessed in the city and in the country. My children are blessed too. I am blessed in all that I put my hands to. I am blessed when I come in and when I go out.
The lord covers and protects me; I am invisible to my enemies.
I am above and not beneath, the head and not the tail.
God has called me to be a lender and not a borrower, for He has freely given me all things through Christ.
In Him, I am rich. Filled with His joy, peace, patience and love, I freely love others. His kindness and goodness work powerfully through me.
I am one who has faith. I am one who has gentleness and self-control. The fruit of the Spirit are displayed in my life.
I am baptized in the Holy Spirit and gifted with powerful gifts from Heaven.
As a believer in Jesus Christ, I cast out demons in His name. I am one who speaks in new tongues, God-given languages. According to God’s Word, I am one who has power over serpents and every work of the enemy; I am one who cannot be poisoned or harmed.
As God’s ambassador, I am one who lays hands on the sick and they recover.
I am healed from every infirmity and immune from every sickness and disease, because I am God’s child.
I am strong in the Lord, having overcome the wicked one and the world. I am endued with power from on High.

Thank you Lord, Amen.

Pre-Battle Instructions

2007-01-07T15:53:00.000-05:00

"Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, 'Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: There are devoted things among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.” Joshua 7:13

As Joshua did before the second battle of Ai, consecrate yourselves before going into the prayer battle that I’ve appointed you to fight in Ottawa. Learn from Joshua’s mistakes and keep following God’s instructions and orders in everything you do. Don’t go in there with your own agenda, but follow your Father’s battle plan. Unlike Joshua, you want victory the first time around.

As a congregation of spiritual warriors, you should get together before setting out, confess your sins and repent, have communion and renew your commitment to God’s army.

In this way, nothing is going to stand between us and God, nothing to keep us from his blessings, nothing to keep Jesus from fully enjoying his walk with us on this spiritual battle.

Worldwide Prophetic Word for 2007

2007-01-06T23:04:00.000-05:00

Political turmoil will still be very prevalent on a global scale, especially in the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia and other smaller countries. There will be more earthquakes, wars, terrorism, and fear. But I (God) will be pouring out my Spirit in new ways and new locations. In many small gatherings, I will be loosing very powerful and accurate prophetic words that will affect the direction of nations. I'm calling my people worldwide to holiness, purity, but most importantly love.

This is THE year for Kingdom advancement. I have been placing and positioning many people, ministries, churches, and countries for numerous years to get them ready for this year. This is the year for explosive growth, boldness and advancing the kingdom.

People and ministries who have not been listening to my voice in the last few years will find themselves unprepared for this year, and not able to capitalize on the opportunities that I am creating for this year.

This is the year of “Go! “. The last two years have been ones of positioning and get ready for what is to come. This is the year for those things to birth forth. This is a year of revolutionary changes in the church. Those who know my heart, and listen to my voice, who do my will, will be energized, endowed with power, and given focus and direction, and will spread out. Churches that are entrenched in themselves, who are building their own petty kingdoms will experience a dryness and a drying up.

This is a year to know my voice. This is a year of assignments, and I will send groups out on special short-term missions to accomplish certain tasks. These are very important on a national level as many separate groups will be given the same assignment in different ways.

This is also the year for groups to unite together to bring spiritual warfare to the enemy. To get out of defensive mode and bring the battle to a new level. This is the year to apply lessons learned in spiritual warfare, and gather from me strategies and directions to take on and overcome regional and national principalities.

Prophetic word for 2007 for Canada

2007-01-06T23:03:00.000-05:00

In Canada, tremendous compromise has entered into the church. The remnant must stand firm on my (God's) word, lean not on their own understanding, but grasp the truth. The church will be under great pressure by the world to compromise in greater and greater ways. The church must make a stand for holiness, and this is the year to say “No” to the devil and stop retreating and turn and fight. Those who are willing to fight, will find many new friends, but will find themselves at odds with those who believe compromise is the way forward. It is very important to remember who the enemy is and not to get caught up in battling the wrong foe.

The Devil plans to use “doctrinal issues” to divide the church even further. Do not give in to this but reach out in love to one another. This is a year of joining forces to build the Kingdom.

National prayer movements, large-scale worship gatherings and other big events that are led by the Spirit will have a greater impact this year than in previous years. This is a year to be thinking on a national level. But this is also year, were I (God) am blessing the very small as well. Individuals and small groups who go out at my directions will see great breakthroughs. In general those who are in defensive, hibernating, closed mode will lose out this year. But those who reject religiosity and move out, open up, try new things will harvest much fruit.

Prophetic word for 2007 for Forerunner Ministries

2007-01-06T23:00:00.000-05:00

For many of you, this is your big chance to see the things you've heard about, the things you wish could happen to happen. But they need to happen very fast. Forerunner Ministries is a good name. I am giving you a national mandate, which will be revealed to you over time and will be constantly evolving.

You are to be outward focused with an inward heart. You are to love me (God) absolutely first and foremost and to love my (God's) presence above everything else. There can never be any compromise in this area.

Secondly, you are to love each other and to take care of each other. But you are a group I have called and have been training that is to make a difference in the world. You aren't to be hidden but visible. It's now no longer just about great meetings and being in my presence and how wonderful that is, but about moving out, hitting the streets, connecting with other groups and completing a task that I assigned to you.

The first thing I want you to do is to go to Ottawa on a prophetic/prayer assignment as a counterattack against the homosexual agenda and the Spirit of Compromise. I will direct you further on that.

I want this group highly networked into other ministries and groups that are moving forward and have a national mandate. I will be giving you many assignments this year. You will get media coverage. Many new people join up. You will help other groups and be blessed by that. You will join other ministry teams on traveling assignments and minister in quite a few other churches. The days of practicing are over; the days of implementing are here.
