A TECHNOLOGICAL LEAP YEAR--LEAPING FORWARD INTO NEW TECHNOLOGIES WITH GREAT ACCELERATION Shawn Bolz:
Director, Expression58 "What would happen if what takes twenty years to take a hold of in the world's society, takes place in a period of seven years or less?" As we entered into the New Year on January 1st, I heard the Lord say something that amazed me. He said that this year was going to be like a "technological leap year." Not in the traditional sense of what a leap year is, but this is what I understood: During the next few years, there will be a "leap forward" in technologies, and what might take seven years to invent will come forth in only one. Or what takes seven years to get into homes might take only a few. God is going to bring a quickening to what would normally take years and years to discover the fullness of. In other words, we are in a season of a great acceleration in technology. If you are a scientist, an inventor, or in the technology market, this may be the beginning of one of the most exciting times in history as God adds His hand to your work and the work of those around you. A New Technological Age is Upon Us During the last few decades, computers have been installed in almost every western household, and now the internet has literally changed the way we communicate and live our lives. What would happen if what takes twenty years to take a hold of in the world's society, takes place in a period of seven years or less? What if there are new energy technologies and medical inventions that God gives knowledge about in not only how to create them, but how to install them in their respectful places literally in what seems to be a suddenly? We are about to see such things happen, and it will feel so natural because they are inventions that God is bringing upon the earth through His grace to inspire a higher quality of life. That means that in their supernatural nature of how fast and how incredible they come forth, man might not even recognize the Hand of God in them. Deuteronomy 8:18-19, "Well, think again. Remember that GOD, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that He promised to your ancestors--as it is today. If you forget, forget GOD, your God, and start taking up with other gods, serving and worshiping them, I'm on record right now as giving you firm warning: that will be the end of you; I mean it--destruction." Why Would God Bless this Generation With Such a Leap Forward? God doesn't want to release technology just so that man marvels in science and inventions; that in itself would not be enough to bring Him the fullness of glory. As a matter of fact, I believe so much of what is being released may not be credited to God because He is using any vessel that will get the job done quickly. God is releasing technology for the "end result." He has a plan in how He is going to harvest the use of the results of the technology! Let's look at the primary entertainment industry devices: Internet, movies, and TV. God has allowed the technologies to develop into a place of maturity in technology so that they would be made ready to serve His purposes. He is not frightened by their misuse or the enemy's domination of them because at any time, He can just exercise His right as the Creator God to inspire those who love Him and are partnered to Him to use the tools to do something amazing. They can begin to create with the tools the way they were intentionally meant to be designed with. The Master Plan
A revolution is coming! And part of this will be Christians released to begin actively cooperating with God's desires over technology. If we can get Heaven's heart and desires on what God wants to release right now, we will see miracles of a type that the world has not dreamed of--fulfilling the Scripture in 1 Corinthians 2:9, "No eye has seen no ear has heard...." Some people forget that God is as smart as He is. He never lets anything be released and then be dominated without having His own desires or reasons for releasing them--He has a master plan. What if God has a plan to send people into every field He can receive glory from? The thing about God sending us there is that it's not about excelling in a career alone, and it's definitely not about the subject of creating. It is however, about impacting society with the end result of His Love and His Grace being shown to individuals who would not find Him any other way. God wants to show Himself in science to the scientific community, but not just of a natural understanding coming to light with Biblical truths. He also wants to showcase His Glory in science in a "supernatural way." God doesn't want to just open the door for more entertainment projects to be birthed with a Kingdom message. He wants to open up the whole realm of His own nature and put it on display for the entire world to see through TV, Film, and throughout the internet. The Kingdom Is Advancing Faster Then Ever Before Many people will not be able to see the next installment of Kingdom activity because it will come in such a different fashion of how God has typically moved in revival. What if the roots of this revival were hidden in so many secular occupational places that have not seen a Move of God before? In other words, God wants to change society, and one of the great investments He is making on the earth in the next few years is in the arena of technology. Everything from computer systems to farm equipment is going to see a "leap" forward as God gives the ability to implement technology on a whole new level. Are you ready for a Technological Leap? |
