Matt Sorger: "12 Prophetic Sign Posts for 2007--Including Media, Youth Movement, and Emergence of New Leaders and Mantles!" Matt Sorger As I was waiting on the Lord for
several days, His presence became very strong upon me. While in the midst
of this Open Heaven, the Holy Spirit began to drop things into my spirit
that we can be expecting and looking for in the coming days. Some God will
do sovereignly, and some will be ushered in through the prayers of the
saints. New media outreaches will be birthed this year. Those whom God has spoken to will begin to take significant steps in walking out the vision of God's heart for the glorification of Jesus through the media airwaves. It will be a year where God's power is displayed over the secular networks. Radio, TV, and internet will be important media tools for expanding the gospel around the world. There is coming a new thrust in world evangelization through these media outlets. God is going to give creative ideas on how to present the gospel in new and impacting ways. In this last season, the Spirit has chosen certain ones to carry a new media mantel upon their lives. That anointing will begin to manifest more and more this year. We will see a "media revival." God is calling us to use every form of technology possible. Hollywood is on God's map. Well-known
people in the public eye will come to the faith in Christ. Out of their
sense of emptiness, they will turn to the Lord. We must pray for this.
Hollywood will see an invasion of "Holy-wood." Key Scriptures:
Matthew 24:14. Recently, I was caught into a vision where I saw a dove lighting upon a woman dressed as a bride--it was the Body of Christ. The Dove came and drove her into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "The sifting is not over. Tell My people not to be shaken by the shaking that is coming." Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. God is bringing a wave of sifting and purification into the Body, so that we are prepared for the Greater Glory that is coming. There is coming a greater sifting in the evangelical segment of the Body of Christ. The Catholic Church has been sifted and is ready for a new wave of revival. The Protestant Church is now being sifted in preparation for a greater glory. In order to receive the level of glory and empowerment God wants to give us in this next season, we must first allow Him to sift our hearts, so that we are ready to carry the greater glory. Embracing the cross will be
essential in this season if we are to also embrace the resurrection power
that is coming upon us. It is deeper refinement, for deeper purity,
and for deeper glory. Key Scriptures: Mark
1:12-13. One is a wilderness of transition. The other is a wilderness of testing. Another is a wilderness of consecration. The fourth is a wilderness of intimacy. And the fifth is the wilderness of rebellion--this fifth wilderness, we lead ourselves into by our own actions and choices. The first four God leads us into. In this next season, many will be crossing-over out of the wilderness of transition, and into the fulfillment of promises causing them to receive their inheritance (Exodus 13:17-21; Joshua 3). The wilderness of consecration and
intimacy will be important to continually cultivate in our lives
(Hosea 2:14-22; Mark 1:35; Luke 1:80).
The wilderness of testing is where I see the Spirit driving the
Church in preparation for the power we are about to come under. What
God wants to do in the Church will far surpass anything we have read about
in our history books. This began in 2006 and will continue in 2007. God is establishing a pure, strong foundation upon which He can build His Church in this next season. There is a new inward standard of righteousness being raised up. We must be careful to guard our "eye gates" as darkness continues to increase in the world around us. God is looking for purity of thought, word, and deed. There is a greater separation from
the world coming in response to the greater exposure of hidden sin and
corruption. Key Scriptures: Matthew 6:22-23.
God is raising the bar of our faith to believe for greater miracles and works of glory. There is a new mantle of power and glory coming. The Lord recently spoke to me in a dream. In this dream, the Lord communicated to me that there is coming a new mantle of glory and power upon the Church for those who will be ready for it. This mantle will be characterized by deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and great power releasing greater miracles, as well as bringing an increase in the number of people healed. The new standard for the healing
ministry will be "Jesus healed them ALL." Key Scriptures:
Matthew 8:16; Matthew 12:15; Acts 5:15-16. There will be a call to prayer and a lifestyle of holiness. The Holy Spirit will breathe upon youth gatherings this year. Among the young people, there will be an uprising and a call to holiness and truth, in response to the hidden sin that will be exposed. The holiness movement will take deeper roots in this generation of young people. A new breed will continue to emerge as leaders. This will be a "full gospel" generation embracing the totality of the gospel message. They will walk in the prophetic, healing and deliverance, and will be deeply grounded in prayer, holiness, and the word. They will carry the message of the "full gospel." The intercession movement will join
forces with the power movement releasing a greater glory upon the Church.
Key Scriptures: 1 Timothy 4:12-16; Matthew
10:7-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. Key associations and relationships will emerge and be formed by the Spirit releasing a new generation of leaders. The apostolic will continue to mature and come into a greater manifestation. God is forming a new wineskin to hold the new wine. There will also be the emerging of
young apostolic leaders who will be regionally minded in building the
Kingdom of God. Regional Centers will be birthed that cross denominational
lines bringing the corporate Body of Christ together. Key Scriptures:
Malachi 4:5-6; Matthew 9:17. He is raising up a new breed, a
new model, and a new "container for the time." Be careful to allow the
Holy Spirit to flow through you in the unique way that He desires.
Guard against comparison, and be yourself! God is going to release such a level of His glory, that entire groups of people will be delivered in mass, in a single moment. Deep bondages will be broken that are ingrained in the sinful nature. The Holy Spirit will teach people how
to live in this new level of freedom. Those that have been struggling in
areas of their lives for years, will find the freedom they are longing
for. Key Scriptures: Isaiah 61:1; 1 Corinthians
10:13; 2 Corinthians 3:16-18. Many who have experienced brokenness in the last season, will come into a time of restoration. It will be a time of strengthening the foundation and returning to a place of "first love" with the Lord. It will be important to have a very solid, strong foundation for the days ahead. Those who allow "cracks" in their
foundations will experience greater brokenness. This brokenness will lead
to a deeper turning to the Lord in complete surrender. We have entered into a season of quick sowing and reaping. Just as Isaac sowed into the land of his inheritance and in the same year reaped a hundredfold return, there will be quick reaping for the seeds we sow. This spiritual law will be seen with both positive and negative seeds. Be guarded and careful with what seeds we sow. Be especially careful in the area of inward attitudes and judgments made against others. With the measure we judge others, it will be measured back to us. You can expect a quick harvest of
seeds sown in every area of your life, including spiritual and practical.
Key Scriptures: Genesis 26:12-13, Matthew 7:1-2. We will continue to see the
manifestation of the end-time transfer of wealth. More and more will
walk with a generous spirit of giving birthed out of supernatural
revelation, and will see God as their Source and Provider for the
advancement of the Kingdom. Key Scriptures:
Isaiah 60:5; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11. There are no limits in God, and I pray that as you yield to Him, you will experience His limitless power this New Year. May the year 2007 be an Open Heaven for you! Get your running shoes on. This is a
year for the Body of Christ to RUN in all God has put in our hearts to do.
He will give you "grace for the race" and empower you to finish strong. |
