A Prophetic Poem O' watchman awaken and arise out of your sleep Hear the voice of the One who calls the deep unto the deep I've made you a watchman on the wall To sound the alarm and release My clarion call. O' watchman awaken and arise, get on your feet Climb to your watchtower and watch to see what I will speak Call out to Me and I will answer you I will show you unsearchable things you never knew. O' watchman awaken and arise, look to see and see to look As I show you things to come that's written in My book Cry out loud and do not hold your peace There is a mighty rushing wind that's coming out of the east. O' watchmen awaken and arise, put your God in remembrance and give Him no rest Cry out until you see His glory come from the north, south, east and west Arise and shine for your light has come, declare His Kingdom and His will be done For justice and peace is your portion through the Son. O' watchman awaken and arise, blow the trumpet and sound th...

As the calendar turns again to another year.  And we look in the rear-view mirror.   Let us reflect and look back, peer. The words spoken and written were very loud for all to hear.     Some loving and dear.   Others beckoning us to a new frontier.   Give us an ear, give us an ear.   Yet some spoken were cloaked in fear.   I’m sure we can see very clear. It is these we can dismiss and put to the rear.   I say the fruit of these will disappear.   As in the headlights deer. Where do these words steer?   To celebration and loud CHEER? To rise up and forge new paths, pioneer? Fuel the tank and kick into a new gear?     As always, we stand on the edge of a premiere.   Standing gazing out into the sunset pier.   The invitation yelling to appear.   It is not far, no, no, it is very, very near.     Come on then, we’ve all been convicted with the tip of the spear.   All of us a great...

I hear God saying, "Peace. Be still. Inhale My presence. Inhale My peace. Inhale My rest. All that you need will be given to you. All that you need and more is up for grabs. I am the One who is causing you to accelerate and advance. All that you need to do is to continue to lean into Me, follow My lead, and partner with Me. All is well even when it doesn’t seem or feel like it. So, take a deep breath. Let go of all that troubles you. Let My presence wash it away and remind your troubles of who I am and what I will do!” —Margriet Leach, Emerging Prophets Director, California, www.prophettraining.com Visit the  FTPN home page .

This week, I heard the Lord say , “ T he modus operandi has changed . ” We are in a new season and the old methods of operation are now obsolete. It’s time to revisit the drawing board and write the new vision. Those who have spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear are stepping into a new clarity. New lenses have been given to us, and keys to unlock doors which were once shut, are now in our hands. The secrets of Heaven have been released. For many, God has been giving you dreams and writing these secrets on your heart while you sleep. In the days to come it will be revealed who are the ones stewarding the new revelation and embracing God’s Word with joy. It's a time of great opportunity for growth and expansion, so do not hold too tightly to the old ways or allow yourself to get left behind. It’s time for “the old dogs to learn new tricks , ” with even those who are most seasoned in their fields needing to embrace new ways of operating. God has been rerouting our paths f...

This morning, I had a very brief vision of people on a repeat cycle of medicating their pain . By medicating , I mean the things that offer temporary "relief" from the pain, but never actually heal it. Then, I heard the Lord say a series of statements: "Tell My people I'm a healer!" "Tell them to trade in what they have used to "medicate their pain" in exchange for My presence." "Tell them when I didn't take the medication at the cross to numb my pain, that was for them!" "Tell them you have no need of these things anymore!" "Tell them I forgive them and long to break their yokes, heal their wounds, and give them freedom." "Tell them I will not put them to shame—those who put their hope in Me." —Andrew Whalen, Vanquish Ministries, www.vanquishpw.com , Texas Visit the  FTPN home page .

Prayer For Husbands: Father God, we come before You today lifting up husbands everywhere. Lord, we thank you for the roles they carry, the burdens they bear, and the leadership they offer to their families. Father, we ask for mental clarity in every decision they face. Let their minds be sharp, their thoughts be guided by wisdom, and their hearts be attuned to Your voice. Help them to discern truth amidst confusion and to navigate the complexities of life with confidence and assurance. We pray for peace of mind, Lord. Amidst the noise of responsibilities, pressures, and challenges, grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Calm the storms within them and remind them that they are never alone. Speak stillness to their minds when anxiety threatens to overwhelm. Father, give them focus. Help them to stay aligned with their purpose, their values, and their families. Remove distractions that pull them away from their priorities and give them the discipline to...

Many of us have been in a season of redirection and realignment. The swirl of confusion of the last season is dissipating and new peace permeates the atmosphere. God is calling us higher by bringing us lower in humility, to a place of surrendering our plans. This season requires that we lay aside the strategies of the past and come to Him with open hands, ready to receive the new blueprints for how to build and move forward. We had been heading in one direction, and now we find ourselves turned around, pulled off the path we were once so committed to. Our previous path had become narrower, so we had to pull back, take steps backward, change directions, and allow the Lord to reroute our course. The realignments have been difficult and at times very painful. The time for mourning has come to an end, and joy is now rising. It is time to cut ties and step away from old loyalties and commitments that have slowed and constrained us. As we step away, we take with us the valuable lessons we h...

This morning, an understanding bubbled into my mind as I was waking up. I say “bubbled up” because it felt like it landed in my understanding, my spiritual eyes, and my spiritual hearing all at once. The Lord was revealing that His people (those still on earth) are the necessary REINFORCEMENTS in this day and hour. You see, usually we pray for angelic intervention and for God to send reinforcement, right? But I felt this morning that the Lord was calling HIS PEOPLE to rise up and become the reinforcements the Kingdom needs to advance in the earth. How? Through prayer of course—so pray! Pray in your heavenly language especially. Do it now and do it without ceasing. Set a daily alarm to pray with me at 9 am and 3 pm—to lift your hands in prayer, setting your heart on Him very intentionally. Why at these times? It is the time of the morning and the evening sacrifice, and throughout Scripture, big things happened at these two times. Fire came down on the altar for Elijah at this time (t...

Early one morning about two weeks ago, I had a series of dreams. In them, I watched as people were being refreshed and strengthened by acts of kindness, hugs, encouragement, provision, answers, and various kinds of blessings from other people. As I awoke, I pondered the dreams and how wonderfully encouraging they were. "Lord, what was that about?" I asked. Then, I heard this phrase in my spirit: People are being revived by goodness. I quickly scribbled this phrase in the journal I keep next to my pillow, as to not forget. This thought has come to mind several times since then, and in my quiet time today, I asked the Lord more about it. "Lord, what else about this?" A picture came up in my mind of something being smeared onto a glassy surface (later to realize it was probably the surface of an eye or possibly a globe), and it looked similar to coconut oil. This salve began to slowly melt and soak into where it was applied. The goodness of God was being absorbed into ...

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. —Philippians 1:6 (NASB1995) The other day while I was praying for some friends, I had a prophetic vision of the Lord Jesus standing with a clipboard outside a building. Light shone when He moved, and He looked up with a huge smile. As the Architect of their lives, I knew He was ready for an inspection. Later, as I prayed about what He wanted to say for December, that image returned. December is often a month for reflection and preparation for the coming new year. But this year I sense the urgency of an unexpected opportunity waiting around the corner. There is hope and energy in His eyes, as He encourages us to finish those things we are still working on so we can jump into the new.  The first step is to take inventory of the past year with Him. What worked, what did not? There is no condemnation for failure. He wants you to see Him as your Guide, your Tea...
