Jeff Jansen: "The Release of the New Breed..."
Birthing Signs of the Overcomer
It must have been a sight to see! The children of Israel could only watch with amazement, as Moses brought the terms of their release to Pharaoh from God--backed up with powerful displays of the supernatural. They had never seen the power of God like this before, and now He was demonstrating it on their behalf. The very same thing happened with Jesus as we read in Matthew 4:16, "The people who sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them who sat in the region and shades of death, light hath arisen." Jesus shows up demonstrating the supernatural power of God in a new model of what was to come.
For the Israelites, the process of just getting to the place of entering their land, was long and difficult. A whole generation had passed away, because they did not possess the character or the faith required for taking the Promised Land. Another great change was now coming upon the reality of their existence. In the wilderness, everything had been provided for them; food, water, even the shoes on their feet did not wear out for 40 years. Now, with Joshua, they would have to fight for their own inheritance. The obstacles that stood in their way simply looked impossible.
The New Reality of No Limits
Joshua and Caleb were of another spirit and were granted access into the Promised Land, because they followed the Lord fully (Numbers 14:24 and 14:30), and possessed the "Spirit of the Overcomer." Today, like Joshua and Caleb, an emerging company is rising that is hearing the "yes" of Heaven and will follow the Lord fully. This company may be difficult for many to welcome and accept, but we need to get ready for them for they will display the "NEW REALITY of NO LIMITS!"
Several generations ago, A. W. Tozer said, "The fact is that, we are not producing saints. We are making converts to an effete type of Christianity, that bears little resemblance to that of the New Testament. The average so-called Bible Christian of our times is but a shallow display of true sainthood. Yet, we put millions of dollars behind "movements" to perpetuate this lower form of religion and attack the man who dares to challenge the wisdom of it."
Every generation has had its revivals and revivalists that would stir the so-called "pot" and the religious order of the day. The leaders would have to scramble to do "damage control" to try to bring the people back into their so-called normal lives. But, tell me, what really is normal?
An Emerging Ezekiel's Company
Rick Joyner recently wrote that we are coming into times when passive Christianity and passive Christians will cease to exist. There is a maturity, a discipline, and a divine militancy coming upon the people of God. Those who have succumbed to humanistic and idealistic theologies, may have a hard time with this, but we must understand that God is a military God. The title that He uses 10 times more than any other in Scripture is, "The Lord of Hosts" or "Lord of Armies." There is a martial aspect to His character that we must understand and embrace for the times and the job to which are now coming.
There are strong signs of an emerging church that knows no limits in God. This emerging army is an "EZEKIEL'S COMPANY," that has the very breath and life force of God blowing through them. Their sole identity and purpose is found in the power, the presence, and the person of Jesus Christ. They have a radical faith and bold disposition that keeps most people off balance--watching with amazement-- and, when the situation demands it, they know how to execute and operate in the power of God, to do the humanly impossible. We are no longer standing on the outside of the Kingdom looking in. We are smack-dab in the middle of it and are quickly becoming the "Greater works than these shall you do," generation! (John 14:12.)
The Return of the Glory of the Lord
We have crossed the threshold of a new door and have entered into a new room, of seeing the return of the glory of the Lord. It is a new season, a new cycle, a fresh place with the Lord, where the body of Christ is beginning to move past its present experience and self-induced limitations, into new streams of the glory presence of God. People are soaking themselves free in the Golden Glory River of God, only to find themselves in a brand new place, on a brand new shore, bearing fruit.
Out from this Golden River, this new breed of believer is emerging with all of Heaven's DNA (Divine Nature Applied), and is being thrust into cities, regions, and the nations, as "glory dispensers," with astounding signs, wonders, miracles, and powerful displays of the supernatural. God has put His "Governmental stamp of approval" on them, as a fresh sign to the body of Christ of seed promised by His Holy Spirit. They will reveal realms of the glory, yet to be seen.
The New Breed of Saints
This new breed of saints understands, that the anointing is released through compassion and the affections of their heart. The only language they understand, is what comes by waiting in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Meekness and humility are their trademark. The favor of God envelopes them, because of the fatness of the anointing that rests on their lives. As harvesting machines, they understand that the great harvest that is to come into the church, will not come in by conventional means, but will come in supernaturally, by lovesick lovers releasing the realm of the Kingdom of God, in power, everywhere they go.
In order for us to see the supernatural power and glory of the Kingdom of God flow, we need to be radically transformed in the way we see and understand God--who He is, and how He operates. The Lord is looking for those whose hearts are completely His; those who will wait on Him and allow Heaven to fill them, so they can understand by experience, what it looks like when He invades our world. What does He look like? How can we detect Him?
This new breed of disciple, is humble and teachable, and they walk completely dependent upon the leading of the Spirit. They are constantly being stirred and transformed in the inner man, in order to detect even the slightest heart impulse that comes from the heart of the Father. They have come to know the secret of abiding power, and that breakthrough comes from the friendly counsel of God in His presence, as they wait and are clothed with power from On High.
Prayer:
Lord, we ask You for a new breakthrough into the secret place of Your presence. We ask You for a fresh understanding of who we are as sons and daughters of the Kingdom, and for the revelation that will bring us into an experience of this place. Holy Spirit, begin to stir deep hunger in us. We want to be part of this emerging EZEKIEL'S COMPANY, filled with Heaven's breath. Wipe shame from us now, so we can again radiate with fresh love and confidence that comes from Your presence. Build us up in Your grace and strengthen us with experience, as we step out from all that we know as common, and into newness of life with You!
