“The Winds of Change” 

By: Linda Foster 

(excerpt ideas from David Minor’s prophecy  “THE WINDS OF THE SPIRIT” latterglory.com)

Sometimes the trials of life, financial hardships, employment struggles, family problems, & unexpected deaths can overwhelm a person.  But God wants these hard times to be seen like a cleansing wind. Though the wind appears to be devastating & never ceasing it is necessary to blow away pride, lust, greed, competition & jealousy.  Christ said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven."  God's tornado forces a poor spirit, a humble person sees what is pure & only what is holy dwells in the Kingdome of heaven.  A person who has nothing on this earth to cleave to because the tornado has stripped away it all away will receive whatever God has planned for their life.  Embrace God's wind & do not seek to hide from it for only in its wake will come the return of our children to God, miracles manifested in individual lives & the supernatural provisions of heaven will rain down the blessings found at the throne room (See Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,..." ).

Romans 8:10 "My Interpretation"

Romans 8:10 Interpretation (mine):

"Because Christ legally purchased me back from the enemy at Calvary I have been attributed the same most desirable, righteous, resurrection power [the Holy Spirit that lives in me] that God used to bring Christ back from the dead and that reestablishes, restores, returns and brings new strength to my mortal body."

"Great Delight" From Isaiah 62:3

God says, "You are so beautiful and prosperous that all will think of you as a crown of glory, My Great Delight.  You shall be honored in My hand, a royal person whom I am so very proud of."

"To The Persecuted" From Isaiah 62 Amplified Bible (AMP)

God Says, "I will vindicate you.  I will show your accusers that salvation and justice reside at your house and none will be able to dispute what I have decreed, what I have set you free from."

"Stepping into the Outpouring of Unshakable Faith"

Julia Loren Ministries

This article was forwarded to me from a friend when I was really sick with an upper respiratory virus for six weeks and had never been that sick in all my life.  So I took what she wrote and personalized it for myself and spoke these words over myself everyday until I got well.  Maybe it will help you also.

DAILY SELF-AFFIRMATION:

I am entering a season of instant shifts of anointing that breaks the heavy yoke, a season that prepares me for the days ahead to shine with the glory of the risen Lord.

I am stepping into an outpouring of unshakable faith – where the spirit of faith, the gift of faith, is being released to me as I turn my face to the Lord and receive it.

A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN ME

This is the season of Holy Spirit releasing a new spirit within me to get me on my feet again.  I begin today to access the gift of faith that results in an “UNBREAKABLE SPIRIT” Isaiah 57:15 (MSG) which issues an incredible message to me when I feel crushed by the trials of life.

I live in the high and holy places, but also with the low-spirited, the spirit-crushed, and what I do is put new spirit in them, get them up and on their feet again.”

God’s Word is full of promises that He will renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me (Psalm 51:10-12 AMP) and I look to Him who will deliver me from all my fears and troubles, and my face will be radiant (Psalm 34:4-6).

I can access this new spirit by turning my focus on Jesus, away from what seems to be crushing me, soak in worship and wait on Him – I speak out His promises and declare that I am entering into the resurrection of life and joy.

The Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 4:6-8 tells me specifically what God is about to do and how I can cooperate with His will rather than give in to the darkness of my thoughts and the world.  The same God who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in my heart to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (verse 6)

God promises that my light will shine out of the darkness.  The light of the knowledge of the glory of God is coming to me, and to the Church, as I focus on seeking the face of Christ and say, “O surpassing greatness of the power of God, come and transform me, transfigure me, beautify me until my face shines with Your glory.” (see verse 7)

You know that God has released an Unbreakable Spirit in me as I can stand up, like the Apostle Paul and declare (verses 8-11) “I may be afflicted but I am not crushed.  I may be perplexed but I am not in despair.  I may be persecuted but I am not forsaken.  I may be struck down but I am not destroyed.”

The Spirit of faith is coming to transform me as well as the Church as God releases an unbreakable spirit and breaks us all free to receive the outpouring of His glory to step into our destiny to rise and shine, full of the power and glory of God.  That Spirit of Faith causes me to believe and to speak out the opposite of what the enemy is doing in the world and in my personal life.  I speak out and declare life where there has been death, forgiveness where there has been wrongdoing; I let go of all my fears and troubles that hold me back, drop them at the foot of the Cross and step into an unbreakable spirit and unshakable faith (verses 13-14).

I begin to shift my focus away from the things that are seen and my eyes are open to see the things that are unseen.  New revelation of Jesus and insight into what is happening today and tomorrow in the unseen real will arise and lift my faith even higher until I step up and into the greatest glory God has for me.

As you do this, speak out what I have paraphrased above, grace which is spreading to more and more people will cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God (verse 15).
