It’s Time

You guys have more unity here then I’ve got in my hometown. I’m here to say this because I fill it so strongly. You’re going to have to change some thin­gs and go to another level if you’re going to get this. IT IS TIME...A­ND YOU ARE STANDING ON THE THRESHOLD OF INCREDIBLE BREAK­THROUGH. But when that comes you can’t do business as usua­l, you have to hear the strategy of the Lord. ...(Dutch speaks to the pastors exhorting us to move from seeing our own places to looking at the big picture of God’s intent for a region.  He reminds the pastors that they are a piece of that picture) There are some strategies He wants to give you on how to shake and break things loose in this region. If you will hear Him clearly right now and shift whatever it is... It may require a higher level of laying down your agenda (Dutch re­minds us that agenda’s aren’t bad) but what is being said is that your vision, or whatever God has given you to do you may have to sacrifice it for a season or lay it down and say Lord I want the good of the whole more then I want my own.

And so because you are doing this (to a degree, because you’re here) and I can see what God is doing in this region... but because this is so strong on me...  so He is obviously going to say something to you that is going to take you to another level with this.

It’s the people, the churches, the leaders coming together and doing some things that is going to release this breakthrough in the heavenlies. 

There is a strategy.

I don’t know what they (the strategies) are.  I don’t know what you have to do.  I just know you’re close, you’ve shifted from Karo to Karos and your coming to fullness.  You’ve got to go to that place together.

Maybe you’re going to have to PRAY MORE TOGETHER, LEAD­ERS.  Maybe you’re going to have to GET RADICAL.  Maybe you’re going to have to meet together every week and pray together.
 I can’t even image, what would happen, if even a small percentage of pastors would get together and seek God’s outpouring, even once a week for two, three or four hours... and get on your faces and say Lord, nothing else matters but that we get breakthrough over this state and have an outpouring that would bring Harvest in.  I can’t image what would happen.

Somehow we think we can get breakthrough on “this” level....  Sometimes we’ve have to change something to get something different ( If you keep doing the thin­gs you’ve always done you keep getting the results you’ve always gotten).  But if we would change what we are doing and HEAR THE STRATEGY OF HEAVEN, I believe things will change... VERY QUICKLY.

What are we willing to change?  How badly do we want to see this? Are we willing to lay it all on the line? Are we willing to put it all on the alter?

Lord what are you saying to this people?  What are you requiring of them Lord?  What do they need to change?

What is the strategy of heaven?  What is the strategy of heaven for West Virginia? This region, what is it Lord?

Surely there is something that would give us BREAKTHROUGH!  Surely we can see the moment!  Surely we can see things shift in Heavenlies so that rain falls!

And the God of History becomes the God of Today!

The Breaker goes up before us!  The King leading us into battle!  And shows us how to break strongholds over a generation!

Shows us how to break lethergy off of the church!
And shows us what will create a spirit of Harvest and Deliverance.

Surely, the Lord God, Surely, unless we are so confused and deceived, Surely You want this much more then we do.

Surely, Lord, we’re  not waiting on You, You must be waiting on us. You must be trying to get the right cooperation here on earth.
And we know that Your arm is not so short it can not save... So there must be something we need to hear, we need to do to get breakthrough.

I don’t know what it is, Lord, but I do know that You’re saying to me right now about this.... I KNOW IT’S TIME.  I KNOW WHERE WE GET IT AND I KNOW THERE IS A STRATEGY.

I’M ASKING YOU TO MAKE THIS PART OF THE NATION A MODEL, a place, a region that hears a sound, that dares to go on record, and say IT’S TIME,... THAT IT’S TIME... GO TELL THE LEADERS, IT’S TIME,... TELL THE CHURCH IT’S TIME... THERE MUST BE A PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO HEAR FROM HEAVEN and do the strategy, MUST BE WILLING (You wouldn’t have given me this word if they weren’t willing) THERE MUST BE SOME WHO (here) THERE MUST BE SOME WHO ARE WILLING. There must be those who will pay the price, who would change some things, who will go all the way, who will pray more, fast more, move into that heavenly place and change the atmosphere over this region.
They MUST have been able to do that, You must have brought them to that point, (this is not time waisted) YOU MUST HAVE BROUGHT THEM TO THIS PLACE, You MUST  have a people here, You MUST.  We don’t want things to go on as they have been, we don’t want that any longer, Lord, we’re not happy with it, we are not satisfied with any part of it, we are not satisfied with any part of where we’ve been.
 We Want More.
  We Want Power From Heaven. 
We Want People to be added to the Church Daily those who are being saved.
We Want You to Awaken.

We Want the Power of Your Holy Spirit to draw them in.
