1 A Fresh Revelation of Forgiveness by Dr. Yolanda McCune In September 2017, as we approached Rosh Hashanah, the head of the Hebrew year 5778, I was curious to hear what God had to say. The Lord always tells Chuck Pierce what His redemptive plan is for the coming year. Likewise, each year at Rosh Hashanah, He tells me what my part is in that plan. This year He said, Wrong definitions are holding My people back. They can t advance because they have wrong definitions of certain words. I m going to replace those old, wrong definitions with Mine. A few months later, He said, You don t understand forgiveness. You don t have the fullness of forgiveness. As I pondered that, I realized that it s easy for me to forgive people who wronged me because they didn t know any better. I found it harder to forgive those who knew better. God began dealing with me about that. The first thing He showed me was that my definition of forgiveness was too narrow. For instance, if Gary and I had a big fight, I knew I had to forgive him before Father would forgive me. Right? Most of us have that part down. We forgive to get forgiven. However, if I see two people fighting, and I don t have any skin in the game, that s not my problem. Right? God said that was wrong. 1

2 That didn t sound good. Was I supposed to go around forgiving people I don t even know? The Lord took me to Mathew 16: 19, I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven (NASB). According to this passage, whatever is bound in heaven, we can bind on earth. But that works both ways. If good things are bound to everybody in heaven, we can bind good things to people on earth. However, if evil is bound in heaven, we can bind evil on earth. The same thing is true with loosing. If God looses His blessings and His glory and His love in heaven, then we can loose them on earth. If in heaven He looses forgiveness, then we can loose forgiveness here on earth. The Paralytic Man The Lord took me to Mark 2:1-12: 1 When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men. 4 Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven. 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why does this man speak that way? He is 2

3 blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone? 8 Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven ; or to say, Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins He said to the paralytic, 11 I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home. 12 And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, We have never seen anything like this. The Link Between Forgiveness and Healing Just imagine that happening now. The man s friends would be sued for removing part of the roof. It was obvious to everybody there that the man was paralyzed and needed healing. Everyone understood he was there to be healed. However, Jesus messed with their theology by saying, Your sins are forgiven. What does forgiveness have to do with healing? The religious people thought, This is blasphemy. Only God can forgive sin. Discerning their thoughts, Jesus asked, Which is easier, to say your sins are forgiven, or pick up your mat and go home? I realized that even today, the meaning of that scripture has been hidden from us. We, the body of Christ, don t believe those are the same thing. That s the point Jesus made that day, and is still trying to get us to understand today. 3

4 Jesus said this happened so that the Son of Man can show you that He has authority over sin. Notice that He didn t refer to Himself as the Son of God. When He came to earth to bring our redemption, He set aside the Son of God part of Him. He set aside His ability to do miracles. He set aside His ability to create the world. He set those things aside, because if He had come as the Son of God He couldn t have been a pattern to us. We couldn t have followed a pattern like that. So from the time of His conception to the time He was baptized, Jesus only operated as the Son of Man. He wanted us to see that He was operating solely as the Son of Man. Now look at this, He described Himself as the Son of Man. What does that mean? He was saying, I m you. I m you. The reason Jesus said we would do greater works (John 14: 12), was because He knew He was one man allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through Him at 100%. If there are 15 men and women allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through them 100%, would they not do greater works? We ve got to get that straight. When He showed us how to partner with Holy Spirit, He created the pattern and told us He was giving us the keys to the Kingdom. In other words, He was giving us full authority. Correct? Do we have some authority? Do we just have authority over a few things? Or has He given us all His authority? We ve got to shift that in our head. Authority to Forgive Then Holy Spirit said to me, I m going to show you how He did that. He took me to John 20 and said, I want you to read this again. 4

5 In this scene, Jesus had risen from the dead, and Mary saw Him that morning. Jesus said, Don t touch me. I haven t ascended yet. He d done what we call the private ascension that morning. During the private ascension, He d taken His blood and poured it on the Mercy Seat in heaven. Following that, He came back to earth. That night, He appeared in a locked room with at least 10 of the disciples. Thomas wasn t there, and of course Judas wasn t there. We don t how many others might have been there, but at least 10 disciples or apostles were there. He appeared there and said, Peace be unto you. I imagine they were a little bit freaked out. He let them see His scars on His hands and side. I believe He kept saying peace to calm them down. Let s look at John 20: 21-23: So Jesus said to them again, 21 Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you. 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained. First Impartation of Holy Spirit Now if you look at the word breathed, it s only used one time in the New Testament. It s the same word that was used when God breathed into Adam. Do you understand the power of that? Bringing life, bringing the Holy Spirit, bringing everything you are going to need. 5

6 We thought the disciples got all the Holy Spirit at the Upper Room. But that s not right. They got the Holy Spirit right here in John 20. I asked the Lord, Why did You give Holy Spirit to them before You told them to go wait in the Upper Room? He said, They had to have the Holy Spirit partnering with them right there to learn what I wanted to teach them over the next 40 days. What did He want to spend 40 days teaching them? He took me to verse 23, right after He had breathed on them. Once He had given them the Holy Spirit, He said, If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them. If you retain the sins of any, they have been retained. Think about this. He didn t say, Do you remember the commission? That I sent you out? He didn t ask, Do you remember all the things I ve taught you? He was talking about the most important thing after they were filled with Holy Spirit: forgiveness. 40 Days to Learn Forgiveness You ve got to get this. He stayed with them for 40 days. Yes, He manifested Himself to different people and did different things. But what Holy Spirit focused my attention on was that He walked with them for 40 days. Isn t 40 an interesting number? It got them out of the wilderness. Because what He was changing was their understanding and their lifestyle of forgiveness. So, for 40 days He taught them that the way they used to forgive wasn t going to cut it now. He taught them to forgive on a whole different level and in a whole different way. 6

7 People that really have the love of God flowing through them have an unbelievable ability to forgive. Have you noticed that? And those who don t have an ability to forgive can say they love God, but if it doesn t show up in forgiveness, they don t. Jesus knew before He poured the love of God into them, that He had to get on their level and take their understanding of forgiveness to a whole different dimension. He accomplished that in 40 days. Afterwards He told them to go up to the Upper Room and wait there. It was there that they would receive power. In other words, He said, You re going to wait for the Holy Spirit to come with such love that you can now go out and do what you need to do. These were the same people that were afraid for their lives. They were locked in the room because they thought the Jews were going to come for them. But once they understood forgiveness, they d had a shift in their thinking. Just think about how many places in the New Testament you ve seen the message, forgive, forgive, forgive. If somebody locked me up and put me down in the prison with the rats, I m not sure forgiveness would be the first thing on my mind. Yet, later, when Saul came on the scene persecuting and killing the Christians, what did the Early Church do? They forgave him and prayed with such passion that he was transformed into a new creature in Christ. Think about it. We must change our understanding of forgiveness. Kabowd Glory Weight Kabowd (pronounced kavode) is a Hebrew noun meaning the glory or weight of the glory of God. When humans encounter the glory of God, we often feel a weight come upon us. It is the spiritual weight of His glory. It s as though the glory has a heavier weight of gravity. We 7

8 often bend or fall under this spiritual weight. However, as our faith muscles grow, we can stand under that glory weight. We carry His glory and reap the rewards of being in His presence. With God s kabowd weight, we are surrounded with everything His glory carries; honor, abundance, riches, dignity, reputation, reverence, the sounds of praise and blessings, frequencies of love and forgiveness. Satan cannot create anything, but can pervert what has been created. That s what he s done with kabowd. He used sin to remove the kabowd and replace it with the weight of sin. This sin covering has no glory. It is a false weight that burdens, stresses, carries the sound frequency of rejection, shame, betrayal, broken covenants, immorality, idolatry and innocent bloodshed. When we say, Your sins are forgiven, we re removing this false weight that Satan uses to keep people, places and things captive. We re releasing the sound of forgiving. We re setting the captives free so they can go back to their original design. In the case of humans, it allows them to see God s glory which will lead them to truth, personal redemption and deliverance. The Lord showed me that sin is on people like a covering. So, let s first take a heathen. How many of you have tried to witness to people who don t know the Lord? You ve got good words. You can feel the Holy Spirit all over you. You re speaking the truth. You re showing love. But it s like they can t hear a single thing you say. Forgiveness is a Noun We ve all been there. Holy Spirit showed me that the word in Hebrew for forgiveness is forgiveness or pardon, and it is a noun. A noun is a person, place or thing. Keep that in mind. A noun has no action, it is a person, place or thing. That s forgiveness. 8

9 The Greek word forgiveness is also a noun and it means freedom, deliverance, liberty, release from bondage of imprisonment, forgiveness or pardon of sins, letting them go as if they had never been committed, remission of the penalty. However, the Greek word forgive is a verb. Forgiveness is a noun, forgive is a verb. Forgive has action. It s a verb meaning to send away, to bid going away or depart, to let go, to admit, to give up a debt, to permit, to allow, not to hinder, to give up a thing to a person, to leave, to go away from one. That is so important because Jesus said He came to set the captives free. I used to think the captives were all the people who didn t know Jesus. Most of us have figured out that He was talking about us too. There are a few captive things that we still have going on. Let s think about the heathen again, because this will change evangelism. When I walk in my full authority of Jesus Christ and see sin covering a person, I realize that Satan has created a frequency barrier so that the sound of God cannot penetrate. As I sit there pouring my heart out, my words couldn t penetrate. My words didn t get through that barrier because sin has given legal permission for it to be there. Think about what happens when I come in with my full authority and say, Your sins are forgiven. What shifts is the barrier around the person. This isn t Salvation Please don t miss this. When I used my authority to forgive his sins, he isn t suddenly born again and going to heaven. That s not what is happening here. What happened was that I removed Satan s legal right to keep the word of God, the sound of God, the love of God from getting through to him. 9

10 Think of that. What if we said to someone before we attempted to evangelize them, Your sins are forgiven. That forgiveness would remove the sin covering over them so they could hear and understand our words. It would change the atmosphere over them, and suddenly they d be able to hear the Gospel. That doesn t mean they ll accept the gift of salvation, but they ll be able to hear it in a way they haven t heard it before. Most of us have witnessed about Holy Spirit to our fellow Christians, but they ve been uninterested. They think that because they ve got Scripture, they don t need more. It s a sin to reject Holy Spirit. When we say to that religious, lukewarm Christian, Your sins are forgiven, we re removing Satan s legal right to blind them. They are no longer blinded. They are no longer deaf and dumb. They can no longer be hidden away inside Satan s covering because of sin. Can you imagine? Imagine the potential results of forgiving the sins of churches that won t let God move. Cleansing the Land We ve been operating in this to a certain degree. When we pray over the land, we re releasing it from the sins. Let me give you an example. One of the primary reasons that universities teach the necessity of GMO s (genetically modified foods), is the belief that we can t feed the world with our present productivity of grains and rice and beans. That s their big premise. That it s just too hard to produce food. And yet, GMO s are prohibited in Europe because they figured out it s killing people. What s happening here? You and I aren t doing our job. Do you know what our job is? We re supposed to be cleaning the land of its sin. 10

11 That s why all of creation groans! It s waiting for us to do what God has called us to do: 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now (Romans 8: 19-22). Taking Our Place All creation is groaning for the sons and daughters to take their place. This is the place Jesus is trying to get us to take. For example, if I go out to a wheat field and I say the sins are forgiven off this land, immediately all the blood curses and evil are gone. What if I say the sins are forgiven off the seed, off the wheat, off the trees? The reason the trees and all creation can t worship is because the weight of sin on them. It inhibits them from producing as they were designed to produce under the blessings of God. Remember the story of Almolonga, Guatemala? Those intercessors took the sin away in that area. The difference on produce was astounding. They went from pitiful crops to sending out huge semi loads of vegetables each day from that small community. I suspect that if we did that all over the world, we might be able to feed all the hungry. Remember, forgiveness is a noun: a person, place, or thing. We are forgiving to remove sin from people, places and things. Holy Spirit asked me, Do you remember years ago when I told you to go outside and talk to your tree? 11

12 Yes, Lord. I remembered what He d told me to do. He told me to tell the tree that the sins that had been placed on it were now being removed. He wanted the tree to know that it could now become what it was created to be. It could flourish and produce. I obeyed God and did what He said, but until now, I didn t understand it. Let s ponder this together. All matter has memory. It records what frequencies are released around it, good or bad. Matter records those sounds, as it was created to do. So, when humans create sin on or near it, it records the sounds or frequencies of sin. Sin then becomes a false weight placed on the person, place or thing. Let s say I have a beautiful coffee table from a very old tree in Charleston, SC. The table is exquisite in its beauty, but the sounds that come from the wood are quite different. The old tree was called the slave tree. It was where they beat, chained and hung slaves. The sin on that tree was unimaginable. Now it is a beautiful coffee table, but the sounds coming from it are the sins that weigh it down. We remove the sins off the table by saying, Your sins are forgiven. The Blood of Jesus washes away all sounds but God s. Be filled with the glory of God and return to your original intent, that all creation praises God. The Cat and the Bird The other day, Gary and I were sitting in our sunroom eating breakfast. We watched the birds eat and the squirrels fight over the seeds. Then I saw the neighbor s cat creep over and stalk my birds. Gary said, Oh wow, that cat s going to get a bird. Watch. No, I said, we re not going to watch that cat eat a bird. In the Garden, the animals didn t eat each other. That s why the lion could be with the lamb. 12

13 The cat stalked closer to the bird. I said, Kitty cat, your sins are forgiven. That cat literally stopped, looked around and walked off in the other direction. That s what I m talking about. That s how this works. Our friend Jerry had a childhood friend. Jerry grew up to serve the Lord and his friend lived a horrible life. For more than 40 years, Jerry had been witnessing to his friend, but he couldn t get through. In my own home, he told me later, I said, My friend, your sins are forgiven. The next day, he called and asked me questions about the Lord. All those prayers and years of witnessing got through to him. Now he wanted some answers. I want you to get this picture. As Jesus hung on the cross, He understood what would happen if He didn t forgive. In His agony, He said, Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34). When He said those words, it was like a huge tsunami of power hit the earth. The ground shook and an earthquake tore open the land with a violent tremor. When Stephen was stoned he cried out, Lord, do not lay this sin to their charge! (Acts 7:60). I believe Stephen forgave them so their sin wouldn t keep them from hearing the truth of the Gospel. A New Way to War What might happen if the body of Christ said to Israel s enemies, Your sins are forgiven? How might the atmosphere change? What if we forgave the abortion industry and everyone involved? 13

14 Think about ISIS. If we gave them a lie detector test, they would no doubt pass it. They believe everything they re doing is right. It wouldn t be a lie to them at all. What if the sin covering was removed? In other words, we don t have to have skin in the game to forgive sin. Luke 1:77 says, To give to his people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. We thought once people realized they had sin, they would seek salvation. But what is the knowledge of salvation? He s saying if I can give you the knowledge of salvation, I can forgive and remove that sin covering. If we change the atmosphere so they can hear, then we are setting the captives free. They can hear that they need Jesus. Hebrews 10:18 says, Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. They re maintaining that thing around them because it is a continual offering for sin. But you and I have authority. You and I as the body of Christ are just like Jesus and that paralytic man. The greatest healing happens when they know Jesus. That s the absolute greatest healing you can bring to anybody. But remember, the healing didn t come until Jesus forgave the sin. Are our healings being blocked because we haven t forgiven the sin? We must see past our old definition of forgiveness. That wrong definition is filtering our understanding of the Bible and the authority God has given us to forgive. Ask Holy Spirit if you have a filter, or wrong definition, that has kept you from the fullness of the revelation of 14

15 forgiveness. Ask Him if you have a lifestyle of forgiveness, because that s how He s asking us to live. Don t think this is some sort of new doctrine. Jesus modeled it for us. He forgave the sins of the world before the world repented. On the cross, Jesus took all sin on Himself from the Garden of Eden to the end of time. What it isn t Let me make it clear that the action of saying Your sins are forgiven is in no way meant to take the place of the personal redemptive work that every human must do individually to become born again. Our assignment from God is to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. To do that, we must remove Satan s false sin weight or frequencies on people, places, things, events, etc. It is setting the captives free from a sin prison that Jesus already forgave. When we remove the sin weight from creation, it is totally free to go back to God s original design. Except for humans, creation has no soul to redeem, no salvation work to do. However, when we say to a human, Your sins are forgiven, we re removing the false weight of sin that is blocking them from hearing that there is a God who loves them and wants a personal relationship with them. Once that barrier is gone, each individual is required to do the personal redemptive work to reconcile back to God through Jesus. Be careful not to confuse the personal redemptive forgiveness that each human created in God s image and likeness must do, with this tool of forgiving sins on creation, land, cities, regions, people groups, things, even people. We are removing the veils of evil that blind the people s minds, the weight of sin s frequency that captures much of the earthly kingdom (Romans 8:19-23). 15

16 What I ve given you here is the short version of this teaching. Once the Lord revealed it to me, He told me to go back and reread the prophetic word Chuck Pierce gave during our October 2017 HAPN conference. He spoke revelation about the Hebrew year 5778; what it looked like, how we needed to change and even some instructions on what to do. Having received a fresh revelation of forgiveness, this prophecy took on new meaning for me. Although I ve emphasized some of the things that leapt out to me, I d like each of you to ask Holy Spirit to reveal what He is saying to you. This isn t the entire prophetic word, and I know it s long, but please bear with me as we establish a strong foundation for this amazing new shift Holy Spirit is asking us to take. Partial Prophetic Word An excerpt from Chuck Pierce s message at the HAPN October 2017 conference: There is a reason we meet in Oklahoma (at HAPN) for the SAKE of the Nation. We are moving from wilderness to promise, it took Jesus 40 DAYS to make it through the wilderness. Wilderness means we are between one place and entering in (another). It s one of our most dangerous places but where we gain some of our greatest revelation. We are shifting into a NEW PRAYER RELATIONSHIP with the Lord. Actually, less warfare in the wilderness. The promise was filled with warfare because of the incredible provision that was to be unlocked. God will sustain you UNTIL THOSE 16

17 WHO SPOKE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE TO STOP THINGS FROM MOVING IN HIS DIRECTION just die off. We have the sword, and the year 8 is also linked with a sword. But the sword shifts from us receiving authority, TO GOING IN AND ACTING IN AUTHORITY. Eight is linked with a gate, it s linked with a door, it s linked with A NEW PLACE OF AUTHORITY that God is giving us all. This year is about contending. It s about RELEASING GRACE and decreeing judgment that will bring restoration. That means three sets of prophetic revelation (generations) will align and will be speaking as one, and that releases the portal of glory. That s the end of Isaiah 59 going into 60. It s also this place (Oklahoma) where you START ESTABLISHING the voice of God. This is so key as we come together here at the very heart of our Nation, with the states of our nation and with the regions of our nation represented here and with the other nations that are aligned with this particular heart. All of a sudden, the Lord is saying to us that this is A TIME WHERE WE MUST ESTABLISH THE VOICE OF GOD NEW AND FRESH at the gate. We are in the 8 th year of the 10 year Ayin (70 s) season. All 70 s are linked with COMING OUT OF CAPTIVITY. I believe we are now SHIFTING this year in an 17

18 INCREDIBLE WAY so we see OUR LANDS, OUR STATES, OUR CITIES START BREAKING OUT OF CAPTIVITY. Hebrew number system, you have 6 and 7 coming together to make 8. Six is where you stake your claim on your future. In Oklahoma, we have staked everything. First fruit is what multiplying is about. So, I think we are making a great SHIFT now into a level of REDEMPTIVE PROPHECY. I m thinking Apostle John (Benefiel), we are going to have to get this in our states if we are going to really have a breakthrough. We have to understand redemptive prophecy which is different than some of the prophecy that we have done in the past because you are looking for the REDEMPTIVE STRAND no matter HOW IT IS ENCASED or WHAT IT IS ENCASED IN so YOU CAN PULL IT INTO GOD S KINGDOM PLAN. We are now entering through this breakthrough portal and I want to say this to you that THIS BREAKTHROUGH PORTAL will take you and propel you with momentum into the year, into the season ahead. This year is about not just going through but gaining momentum and not stopping. JOHN 20, is one of the patterns for the year. (In JOHN 20) People have been so traumatized because they have been in this movement for three years, they are 18

19 ready to go into the next phase of the movement and the leader (Jesus) who has been leading them all of a sudden is crucified. They probably figure we re next because there had been an association made over the three years in the past. But these disciples were in this upper room praying. Jesus spoke to Mary at the tomb in a different form. That s ANOTHER WORD FOR US because I m going to show you in a moment we are in a new place therefore in a different form. He spoke to her and she couldn t look at the form she knew, she had to know the voice she heard. So, she runs back to the upper room, tells all the disciples what He prophesied He s alive they look at her in unbelief. They have this door locked because they are afraid the Roman soldiers are going to break in and kill them. All of a sudden, the Lord walks through the door. I m about to say this to you, He s going to find a way in this year. HE S MORE EXCITED ABOUT GETTING US INTO A NEW PLACE THAN WE ARE. So here He comes in and He starts speaking to them and all of a sudden, He shifts the whole movement. It says HE BLEW ON THEM because that s what He kept promising them. I m going to have to be killed, you re going to be raised up, and then the promise of the Spirit s coming all of a sudden in the midst of your trauma, all of a sudden 19

20 the promise is there. THIS YEAR THE BODY OF CHRIST GETS DELIVERED OUT OF TRAUMA IN A NEW WAY. He blew on them and shifted them from being disciples to apostles. That is what is happening this year. This apostolic movement that we ve been nurturing, maturing, moving into, there is a shift this year. Here is what I think the shift is, it s a shift that WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO GO THROUGH ANY GATE. WE ARE READY TO GO INTO SOME PLACES WE VE NEVER GONE INTO, WE RE READY TO PRAY IN WAYS WE HAVE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE, WE ARE WILLING TO EXPRESS WHAT WE REALLY BELIEVE. There is also a NEW GENEROSITY STIRRING IN GOD S PEOPLE. You know when I say that I don t mean just money either. Holy Spirit is generous. That s how you can tell how much Holy Spirit is going to be moving in you is the generosity you are moving in. This NEW GENEROSTIY MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO FORGIVE SOME PEOPLE S DEBT THAT YOU DIDN T THINK YOU COULD FORGIVE. That s why it was so important for us to have that All Tribes Gathering from the very government seat of our Nation. No group has ever gone through more atrocities in America than our Native people, our First Peoples. YET THERE S THIS SUPERNATURAL GENEROUS ABILITY THIS YEAR TO RELEASE. THAT S WHAT HE TOLD THEM WHEN HE BLEW ON THEM. HE SAID, NOW THAT I VE BLOWN ON 20

21 YOU YOU RE BECOMING AN APOSTLE. I M GOING TO SEND YOU OUT THIS DOOR AND YOU RE GOING TO RELEASE AND FORGIVE. ANY PERSON YOU FORGIVE IS RELEASED. ANYTHING YOU WITHHOLD WILL BE WITHHELD. SO, I REALLY BELIEVE THIS YEAR WE HAVE GREAT AUTHORITY TO CHANGE ENTIRE TERRITORIES AND IT S THROUGH OUR GENEROSITY THAT THE ENEMY WILL FLEE. Now what makes this year so exciting and interesting is it is ABOUT THE POWER OF THE FIRST. We could not have entered this year without having a gathering where all the First Peoples of our Nation, this Nation were driven into, the place, the spot, (Oklahoma) that they were driven to without coming together worshipping saying WE RE HERE TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW MOVEMENT FROM THE FIRST LAND BACK THROUGH THE ENTIRE NATION BACK TO EVERY PLACE YOU WERE MEANT TO STEWARD. Now hear me, let me prophesy this, I don t know how else to do it. The Lord would say, NOW I M GOING TO RETRACE THE TRAILS. The Lord said, THERE S BEEN LOTS OF TRAILS THAT HAVE GATHERED MY PEOPLE BUT NOW I M GOING TO BLOW ON MY PEOPLES AND RETRACE THE TRAILS OF THEIR TERRITORY. I SAY, I WILL RETRACE THESE TRAILS AND AS THEY GO BACK THERE WILL BE A REVERSAL OF HOW THEY CAME. I SAY, NOW THEY WILL NOT GO BACK ALONE AS THEY WERE DRIVEN DOWN AND EVEN HAD TO CREATE A TRAIL. 21

22 NOW THEY WILL GO BACK AND THEY WILL HAVE A TROOP BOTH FROM HEAVEN AND EARTH GOING WITH THEM. AND AS YOU RETRACE THE TRAILS OF THIS LAND YOU WILL UNLOCK THAT WHICH HAS BEEN AMASSED IN WEALTH ALL ALONG THE WAY. THE LORD SAYS, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO GO BACK. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LET THE DIVINE REVERSAL PROPEL YOU FORWARD. DON T BE AFRAID TO GO BACK DOWN THE TRAILS OF SORROW AND THE TRAILS OF TRAUMA THAT EVEN FORMED AND CAUSED THE NATION AND ITS HISTORY TO BE WHAT IT IS TODAY, GO BACK AND I WILL GIVE YOU A GRACE OF RELEASE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE. I SAY, FROM OKLAHOMA I WILL POUR OUT A GRACE OF RELEASE AND THERE WILL BE A SENDING OUT AND A SENDING BACK DOWN THE TRAILS AND AN UNLOCKING OF THE TREASURES THAT GOT LOCKED UP AND TAKEN ALONG THE WAY. I SAY TO YOU, THIS WILL BE KNOWN AS THE YEAR OF THE FIRST OF THE DIVINE REVERSALS AND WHAT HAS BEEN, NOW WILL COME BACK SAITH THE LORD. I SAY TO YOU, RETRACE THE STEPS OF YOUR BLOODLINE AND WATCH ME BEGIN TO UNLOCK AND CREATE A DIVINE REVERSAL OF THAT WHICH WAS SQUANDERED AND GOD ROBBED IN OTHER SEASONS. I SAY TO YOU, THIS IS 22

23 THE BEGINNING OF A NEW MOVEMENT WITH A NEW TROOP. AND I AM SENDING HELP FROM HEAVEN TO PROPEL YOU DOWN THE PATHS AHEAD. The Lord says, This Nation has been like a colt that has been unwilling to be broken and gone through many upheavals and still it is head strong. But I say to you, I am taking the reins of the stallion. I am taking the reins of the colt. And now I m going to start drawing a discipline into this land that it has not known before. I say to you, I AM TAKING THE REINS OF MY KINGDOM PEOPLE AND BEGINNING TO DRAW THEM IN A DIRECTION THEY HAVE NOT GONE BEFORE. BUT I M ALSO TAKING THE REINS OF THE NATION AND I WILL CREATE A NEW MODEL OUT OF IT. I say LAY DOWN ALL OF YOUR AGENDAS THAT YOU HAVE HAD AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE WARRED IN THE PAST BECAUSE WHEN I START DRAWING IT IN A NEW DIRECTION YOU WILL HAVE TO RECONCILE RELEASE AND MOVE QUICKLY WITH ME FOR THIS COLT HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE PATH THAT IT S ABOUT TO GO ON, SAITH THE LORD. I come to Oklahoma (because) there is a prophetic portal for this Nation here, and if you move in it right, every word that comes down through it applies to 23

24 you. You are able to reap the benefits of it. You are able to grab ahold of the promise of it. IT S LIKE IT S GOD S REDEMPTIVE PLAN. When you start looking at what was promised that got broken and squandered and all of a sudden WHEN THE LORD BLEW, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO RELEASE IT AND BRING IT BACK SEVEN-FOLD. The Lord told me, there are so many things in your bloodline that there was a moment where a promise came down into your blood, of other generations even, and REDEMPTIVE POWER that came down that I sent down- THAT NOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK. The Lord says, LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY, LOOK AT EVERYTHING DIFFERENTLY. THIS YEAR IT S THE POWER OF THE FIRST, IT IS A NEW BEGINNING. IT S A WHOLE NEW SHIFTING WITH ALL OF US GOING ON. Eight is linked with energy, energy is linked with synergy. This is a year, even though you are worn out, hear what I m about to say to you, THERE IS A NEW GRACE ENERGY COMING DOWN ON YOU. All you have to do is ask for it, don t strive in it, this year is about NEW ENERGY AT THE GATE. This ENERGY PRODUCES MOMENTUM and the enemy is working so hard, he wants to stop you. 24

25 There is this new apostolic release and new prayer movement. (John 20 was the release) and then the movement started going. Acts 12 Herod tries to stop the movement, but the church starts praying in a new way. (This year) it s about angels, gates and war. An angel comes down, unlocks Peter, breaks the gates open, and all of a sudden the movement starts going. THAT S THE TYPE OF PRAYER THAT WE HAVE GOT TO DO AND IN THE HEARTLAND APOSTOLIC PRAYER NETWORK. THOSE GATES START LETTING GO, AND APOSTOLIC MOVEMENT STARTS OCCURRING. THAT S THE TYPE OF PRAYER MOVEMENT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND I LOVE THE VERSE THERE IN 12 YOU CAN GO AND READ IT, PETER SAID HE DIDN T EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS REAL OR NOT. I m going to say this to us, we have prayed and prayed and now the PRAYERS OF THIS MOVEMENT THEY RE ABOUT TO KICK IN. THERE S GOING TO START BEING A LOT OF SHAKING OVER WHAT WE HAVE PRAYED IN THE PAST AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN THE SHAKING COMES THE APOSTOLIC STRENGTH OF THE MOVEMENT IS GOING TO COME ALIVE. Then it s going to be so amazing, that eye has not seen and ear has not heard what is going to start moving. The Lord is saying right now, Let Me deal with what I need to deal with, YOU BREAK THROUGH, YOU BREAK THROUGH AND I LL START DOING. He says, YOU 25

26 BREAK ON THROUGH, I LL SHAKE GATES, I LL LET OUT THAT WHICH HAS BEEN CAPTIVE AND I LL DEAL WITH THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STOP YOU. The Lord says, WATCH IT BEGIN TONIGHT FROM THE APOSTOLIC PORTAL THAT HAS BEEN CREATED HERE IN THE HEARTLAND. I BROUGHT YOU HERE TO HEAR IT. I BROUGHT IT HERE TO BE DECREED. THE TRAILS WILL HAVE A DIVINE REVERSAL, AND I WILL SHAKE THE GATES LOOSE. AND I WILL DEAL WITH THOSE WHO TRY TO SHUT THEM ILLEGALLY, saith the Lord. I say, I brought you here for a NEW ANOINTING. YOU WATCH YOUR PRAYER GATHERING START CHANGING. YOU WATCH GRACE START COMING DOWN. YOU START CRYING OUT FOR THE APOSTOLIC MOVEMENT. YOU START CRYING OUT FOR PROPHETIC REVELATION TO COME DOWN. AND WHEN IT STARTS SHAKING, I LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST SAITH THE LORD. I say there is a remnant still under this portal. This remnant, 700 strong, will become 7,000 strong and will become 70,000 strong until breakthrough occurs. I say we will not be defeated because one door shuts, YOU will shake it open the way YOU want it shaken open. 26

27 Lord I lose it in every state. I lose it in every nation connected to this movement. I say, Let the gates shake! You have just been anointed and sent to PRAY APOSTOLICALLY IN A NEW WAY. As you can see, we ve entered an incredible time in the history of the Church. God is giving us a new place of authority and a fullness in our understanding of forgiveness. A release of grace that will set captives free. An unlocking of treasures that were locked up (trails, people, people groups, tribes, lands, cities, regions, nations, creation, events, organizations, events). A new generosity to forgive that transcends all sin. Power of the first for this year which will create a tsunami of forgiving that will retrace the trails for a divine reversal to bring back God s original intent. A new prayer movement with a new grace energy creating momentum by decreeing sins to be forgiven the finished work of Calvary. A restoration of God s glory on the earth! 27
