This morning I received an email from The Elijah List containing an article by Catherine Brown about accessing miracle anointing. Her prayer at the end of the article (Let’s Pray: Father, we thank You for the beautiful message of a little boy and his lunch and the creative miracle working power You released through the prayer of faith of Your Son. Father, help us to be like Jesus. Holy Spirit, come and guide us in our prayers of faith and usher in a global creative outpouring of miracle anointing to win the lost, to feed the hungry, to give water to the thirsty, to clothe the naked, to heal the sick, to deliver the demonised, to comfort the prisoner and raise the dead. For Yeshua’s namesake we pray. Amen. Catherine Brown, Founder, Gatekeepers Global Ministries, Email: admin@gatekeepers.org.uk).) contains words and references to things that recently came forth at our Sunday evening gathering.

At the beginning of the evening I shared and encouraged people to become vessels for releasing the creativity of the Lord through music, art, dance, and creative writing strategies and ideas. I exhorted people to start changing the culture/taking back this nation for the Kingdom of Heaven through the creative strategies He would download from Heaven as we position ourselves to receive them. During worship, one of the women saw a vision of the earth rotating while drops poured down from Heaven. When she came up to share in the microphone she stopped by a drawing easel where our daughter, Jenna, had already drawn what the woman saw in her vision and was about to share. Our son, Josiah got Joel 2:28-29 and Isaiah 61, and the Lord spoke through Jenna that the drops represented His anointing pouring down from Heaven, and we were to be prepared because the anointing is coming and it’s coming quickly. He spoke through her that revival would begin in one place and then spread throughout the whole world…that this would be a revival like no other revival before on earth in that it would continue to grow and spread, and would never end because Jesus would return. A four-year-old “happened” to be spinning around in front of the altar about the time the vision came forth as well (the earth rotating, meaning throughout the earth).

Back to this A.M…the Lord reminded of a word He released last December through one of the kids He often spoke through in our Children’s Church. The boy was often too shy to share…he would write down what the Lord spoke to Him and his mother (who was one of my helpers) would bring the word to me…this particular word was so profound that we made a DVD for the main worship service. (I have included a copy of the word at the end of this article.) I remember being slightly puzzled last year when He gave the word because the boy had written, “The 2008 Christmas Gift!”, in big letters at the top of the page…I remember wondering if the boy had mistakenly gotten the year wrong, knowing 2008 was just around the corner, or if there was more to it than that. I also remember how we all waited so expectantly for something spiritually significant during that season that never manifested in this realm…

I am now connecting many dots and understand that it was the wisdom of God to title the word, “The 2008 Christmas Gift!”, and it wasn’t a mistake by the boy (God doesn’t make mistakes but people often do). We have had another year to live and pray in expectation and anticipation of the Lord pouring out His Spirit (Christ in us) in greater measure throughout the earth (the hope of glory). I’m finding myself more stirred than ever before with excitement and expectation for this Christmas. I believe there is a 2008 Christmas Gift coming that cannot be compared to anything or anyone or described in any words. It can only be matched by the night Christ first came to earth – the first Christmas – many years ago. This Christmas gift, however, will surpass the first, because the first time He came as a child; as flesh; as a lamb; to one location on the earth. His life, death and resurrection then paid the price (the ultimate and final sacrifice as the Lamb of God) to reconcile anyone who believes in their hearts that He is their Savior and confesses Him as Lord…anyone who has Christ living in them through the power of the Holy Spirit…and a greater measure of Christ in us will be poured out ALL OVER THE EARTH (not just in one location) through those who have received the Father’s love as sons and daughters, having been adopted into His Kingdom as co-heirs in Christ, to bring in an abundant harvest for the Kingdom of Heaven; for the King of Kings; and for the Lord of Lords…all for Jesus! Creative anointing and strategies for all the world to see…for all the world to come to the understanding that there is only one God and there is only one way to Him…through Jesus Christ, His only begotten and beloved Son…that there truly is no greater love…it’s all about the greatest love story ever told…the love of our Heavenly Father and the love of His Son for all mankind…isn’t that what Christmas is all about?

When Christ returns at His second coming, He will come as a Lion in all His glory (the Lion of the Tribe of Judah)…He is about to roar through His Church (I am not talking about buildings and denominations) – through His multigenerational Body – and He will take back all that the enemy has stolen from Him, from His Kingdom and from His people…(we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the powers and principalities of darkness). He will take dominion on the earth (His Kingdom will come and His will will be done on the earth just as it is in Heaven) through His people…through His glory…through His anointing…through the manifestation and revelation of His love…through creative miracles (healing, financial, provision, protection, deliverance, etc.)…through the creative arts and creative strategies…through the Church that He is building that the gates of hell cannot prevail against. He will return for a Bride who has made Herself ready and prepared for the Bridegroom.

To those who have a revelation of His Kingdom: get ready for His 2008 Christmas Gift…get ready for His anointing…His creative anointing…get ready for His glory! Catherine Brown’s prayer, the woman’s vision, a 16 year-old’s drawing, a prophetic word through a 10 year-old boy, many Kingdom prayers released through those seeking Him and His Kingdom, significant words given to so many of His people who are waiting for them to manifest, many Elijah list/apostolic conference prophetic declarations over the past year(s)…connect the dots and be blessed!
