A New Era is Here! The Clash of Kingdoms
A New Era is Here!
At the start of a new calendar year, people often want to know what is the new thing God is saying, but I’m here to tell you that the new is old! The new path is the ancient path. He is the ancient of days, the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. His name is Jesus! Besides Him, there is no other, and no time constraints are found in Him!
It’s the end of an age. A new era is here! This new era is rooted in Jesus and His limitlessness. Though great shaking must take place, do not fear! This clash of Kingdoms must take place!
“Thus says the LORD: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” – Jeremiah 6:16 ESV (emphasis added)
The Rise of Kingdom Activators, Demonstrators, and Innovators
A distinguishing mark of this new era will be those who don’t just talk about God but have the tangible power of God moving through their lives. Many can teach about God, but does God show up in power when they are present? Do not be led astray by those who bring sound teaching, but the glory of God is not resting on their lives. The days of following empty, dead, powerless religion are over! A new Kingdom era is here!
“But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not just the talk of these arrogant people, but [evaluate] their [spiritual] power [whether they live up to their own claims]. For the kingdom of God is not based on talk but on power.” - 1 Corinthians 4:20-21 AMP
A demonstrator, by definition is a person who explains by showing how a skill is performed.
Kingdom demonstrators move with God's glory, activating the impossible on Earth.
An innovator, by definition, is a person who introduces new methods and ideas.
Kingdom innovators walk in divine wisdom and revelation, releasing new methods and ideas from Heaven on Earth.
An activator, by definition, is a person used to induce, accelerate, and set into motion.
Kingdom activators induce, accelerate, and set into motion the purposes of God on Earth. Like the sons of Isaacar, they know the times and the seasons.
“My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” – 1 Corinthians 2:4 ESV
Kingdom Expansion Begins With Death
Another distinguishing mark of this new era will be separating those who embrace the unpopular messages of the Kingdom to advance the Kingdom of God from those who advance the Kingdom for themselves. The Bride must embrace the way of the cross. Kingdom Expansion Begins with Death. Death to selfishness and pride, death to worldly ambition, death to impure motives, taking up your cross, walking in the spirit of truth, and fully following Jesus.
Many want to produce something in the Kingdom but often don’t want to submit to the death process they must experience first. Resurrection life only comes after death. What if your seed isn’t producing true resurrection life in the Kingdom because you haven’t let it die first? This is the Kingdom way.
“Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever, real and eternal.” - John 12:24-2
Awakening of the Lovesick Bride
The enchanters and the charmers leading the bride astray and forcing her to operate under the chains of religion and silencing her prophetic voice, are being crushed under the relentless love of God, releasing the fascination of Jesus once again.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” - Isaiah 60:1-3 ESV
Fascination with Jesus is awakening His Sleeping Bride. God is awakening Bridal bliss! He is calling the Bride back to abundance, where the fountain of life never runs dry, and revelation light is perpetually shining.
“He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous.” – Psalm 1:3 TPT
“All may drink of the anointing from the abundance of your house. All may drink their fill from the rivers of Eden. The fountain of life flows from you to satisfy me. In the light of holiness, we receive the light of revelation. Lord, keep pouring out your unfailing love on those who are near you. Release more of your blessings to those who are loyal to you.” – Psalm 136:8-10 TPT
Treasury of Heaven is Open to the Bride
The treasury of Heaven is open! Come and buy gold refined in the fire. Death must take place to receive the treasures of the resurrection life fully! Now it’s the time to exchange your spiritual bankruptcy and obtain fulfillment only found in Jesus!
“I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.” – Revelation 3:18 ESV
Now is the time! Do not wait. Throw off the shame of your nakedness before God and allow Him to clothe you in His glory and power. Allow God to apply His salve to your eyes so that you may see rightly. Exchange your spirit of heaviness for garments of praise!
“Lord, how wonderful you are! You have stored up so many good things for us, like a treasure chest heaped up and spilling over with blessings—all for those who honor and worship you! Everybody knows what you can do for those who turn and hide themselves in you.” – Psalm 31:19 TPT
Violent, Ecstatic Praise of the Awakened Bride
God is awakening violent, ecstatic praise in His Bride. This is not just the praise of adoration but is a weapon of war! This is praise that not only builds a habitation of God’s presence but impacts future generations!
“The kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.” – Matthew 11:12 ESV
God is Awakening Shabach Praise
God is awakening shabach in His Bride. Shaback is a Hebrew word for praise that means a holy roar! It’s loud adoration. A holy shout! Shaback—a holy roar—is not just for a particular people or place. It’s a holy roar that transcends time and geography. Shabach is powerful praise that passes from one generation to the next! The next generation, the future church, is waiting for the Bride to release the sound of shâbach!
“One generation shall praise (shabach) Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” — Psalm 145:4 NKJV
2. God is Awakening Tehillah Praise
God is awakening tehillah praise in His Bride. Tehillah is a Hebrew word for praise that means to spin around under violent emotion in spontaneous praise of gratitude for what the Lord has done specifically for you. It’s praise that creates a habitation for the power and presence of God that releases faith in others to see, hear, and put their trust in God!
“He is your praise (Tehillah), and He is your God, who has done for you these great and fearsome things which your eyes have seen.” - Deuteronomy 10:21
“God’s presence creates His dwelling place within (Tehillah) praise.” - Psalm 22:3
In Psalm 40:3 David said that when (Tehillah) praise is sung, “many will hear it and put their trust in the Lord.
Your praise builds a habitation of God’s presence. Your praise combats fear and causes faith to rise in future generations! I declare violent, ecstatic praise is awakening in the Bride! Your praise is a weapon!
Clash of Kingdoms - The Bride’s Weapons of War
There is a clashing of Kingdoms. The kingdom of darkness is at war with the Kingdom of Light. We cannot be naïve of the devil's schemes, whose end-time agenda is to wear out the saints.
“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws.” – Daniel 7:25 KJV
It’s imperative to enter true rest to withstand and fight this war. Rest is not leisure or ceasing activity. Rest is not inaction. Rest is actively putting energy toward the things God has asked us to do and putting the brakes on the things He hasn’t. Rest is focusing our action on what we are graced to do. Rest is operating in what God is breathing on now. Praise, peace, and rest are the Brides weapons of war to battle fatigue and weariness from the onslaught of the enemy’s assaults. Praise is a weapon. Peace is a weapon. Rest is a weapon.
“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” - 2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV
Thus says the LORD: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” – Jeremiah 6:16 ESV (emphasis added)
The Bride Reigning in Glory and Power
This is a clash of Kingdoms. Some will rise, and others fall, but the Kingdom of God stands strong forever! A new era is here! It’s time to break free from the constraints of man and the bonds of religion and put to death the flesh, pride, and shallow, dead works. The lovesick Bride is awakening! It’s time to bow down and kiss the Son! It’s time for sons and daughters to rise up, take dominion, and reign with Jesus. This is a clash of Kingdoms! Embrace the shaking of the Lord as Kingdom activators, demonstrators, and innovators release the blueprints of Heaven on Earth.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” - John 14:12 ESV
