"Season of Grace"

Greg Daley 2 Corinthians 4:7, But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. I heard the word “Vessels of Mercy” that’s us – that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. So God has placed within us a power that is superior. It goes well beyond whatever we may need to do or what God is calling us to do. Today God has placed within each of us His Spirit and his power to take us beyond where we could ever conceive we could go. God is calling us to prepare, I believe that. I also heard the word, “Make room for daddy.” So God is preparing us for his presence. …There is grace today, (God’s divine enablement) to take you to where the Lord wants to take you, not just individually but as a church a corporate body.


Walt Cowart – Children it is my desire to come forth into your life to show you who I really am. I am not who you have always pictured me as, I am not in some kind of container that can just be held for you to look at and say, “This is who he is and this is what he does.” But children I am more than that. This is a time that I want to come out so you can be free, so you can begin to go to the places I have always desired for you. Inside your expectation is this, “God is only able to do this much because that’s my belief.” In this season of empowerment that you are going to begin to discover, you will no longer have to have a small picture of who I am. You can begin to see inside the heavens what I am doing for you today. This is a time that in this house a level of expectation is going to rise up that nothing is too hard for the Lord. Therefore nothing is too hard in your life. A season of freedom that you have spoke of but never participated in. A season of risk where you take a step out and you say, “I am going where I don’t know but I know he is already there.” A time when we as a family can stand around as a family and begin to speak to a future that we no longer really think about but that we are rather participating in. A future that we are occupied inside of and seen the favor of the Lord and the fruit of the trees that is gathering around us. That we can taste and see that the Lord really is good. This is a season that I am beginning to take you to places that you have never been and never wanted to go. That I can show my glory in you, with you, through you to a people that don’t want you there and can’t stand the thought of you showing up. When you come you will set at liberty those who have been bound up and have no desire for the kingdoms truth. This is a season children where I say, “Let me out of the box that you have out me in. That I can demonstrate within your life everything I have thought about you, because you are so valuable to me, you are everything I have hoped for and dreamed up for all time, and I want to show my favor in and through your life. You are my dream, you are my hope, you are my life demonstrated to a people on this earth who know me know. So let me run through you in this season, let me out of the box so you can do all that I have told you you will do.


Sandy Honduik: So I heard this this morning and I want to be sure that we grab a hold of everything the Lord is saying. I believe we have entered a season. Now there is grace in our lives all the time, but sometimes God brings us into a season of things. Grace is a supernatural empowerment to change, to do something we cannot do on our own. We have cried out to God, “Lord I’m looking for you and I can’t find you. Why am I not like this, Lord why am I not like that.” I want to prophecy this today: I believe we have entered a season today; there’s been a declaration of a season of grace; to prepare. What this looks like in its entirety, I don’t know, but part of what it is is that place where you yield to the spirit of preparation and you say, “God I yield to your spirit of preparation,” and where you take the time to say, “Prepare my heart God.” How of your heart comes the issues of life and the issues around you. This is why it’s important to prepare your heart. …don’t go away today until you have said, “Yes” to him and his preparing work. Traditionally a season is three months, and I don’t know the time frame on this, but I believe when God declares something over a people there is a supernatural acceleration and empowerment that is not regular in that walk. You will find a place of grace that is not the normal Place. So I don’t want to loose this today, there is a grace, a supernatural enabling empowerment to have your heart prepared. Whatever this looks like for you on an individual basis and whatever this looks like for us on a corporately is taking this season to yield to God, taking time every day to say, “God I yield to your spirit of preparation.”


Theressa Hammelman: This morning in the prayer room I really felt like God was saying that there is a grace to enter his presence. Just like the Priest would wear the linen garments so that they weren’t striving. We’re not to strive. There was a grace to enter his presence, and in his presence there will be a grace to bring the change that we need.


Barb Snyder – This morning in the prayer room - I saw the Lords presence kind of like the steam or the fog from the drama this morning, and as we go forth in this declaration there was this cloud of his presence. It wasn’t us or by our might but it was by his spirit. Just like we saw the fog this morning that it is about his presence.
