FORERUNNERS AND PIONEERS, MAJOR DEMONSTRATIONS OF HIS FAITHFULNESS ON EVERY FRONT, ARE UPON YOU!!!

By Lana Vawser Ministries

For many months the Lord has been speaking to me about His faithfulness being demonstrated powerfully in unprecedented ways in the body of Christ in this new era. The way He is demonstrating His faithfulness is going to heal hearts, strengthen many in the body of Christ, and restore joy to those who have lost it.

“But you, O Lord, your mercy-seat love is limitless, reaching higher than the highest heavens. Your great faithfulness is infinite, stretching over the whole earth.”

(Psalm 36:5 TPT)

“Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.”

(Psalm 36:5 ESV)

Forerunners and pioneers

forerunner

Recently, the Lord put the FORERUNNERS AND PIONEERS on my heart heavily. There are many that are forerunning right now and many pioneers who have been in such an intense battle and the fire has been so very hot. These forerunners and pioneers are “making way” and carving out the pathways that have not been walked before. They are walking with the Lord and following the leading of the Holy Spirit to move into uncharted territories, pave pathways that are seemingly “against the grain” and do what has “never been done before” in obedience to the Lord.

These forerunners and pioneers are partnering with the Spirit of God to break through hard ground, to break open ancient walls, to push through man-made structures at His leading to see the tidal wave of His Spirit and presence come in a way that we have never seen before.

Facing battles on every front

In the midst of this new era we have entered, these forerunners and pioneers have been facing battles on every front. The Lord kept using the word “relentless” with me as I sat with Him. They have been facing relentless opposition and attack, and much of their opposition has been from the words of man speaking against what God is doing in their lives, through their lives and the mandate of God upon them because it “goes against the grain” and what is “expected” or defined as “normal“. These ones have remained faithful to the Lord and continued to move in obedience to what God has spoken to them.

“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”

(1 Corinthians 15:58 ESV)

I had an encounter with the Lord where I saw the heart of the God was MOVED by their OBEDIENCE and PERSEVERANCE.

I heard the Lord say:

“GREAT IS THEIR REWARD AS THEY HAVE NOT BOWED TO THE WAYS OF MAN BUT FOLLOWED IN RADICAL OBEDIENCE TO MY LEADING, MY WAYS, MY STRATEGIES AND MY VOICE.”

Not bowing to anything else

The Lord has been moved by yieldedness and dedication of these FORERUNNERS and PIONEERS to continue with the Lord’s work and to NOT bow to anything else but what the Lord has said. They have a strong resolve within them that comes from the place of deep intimacy and love for Jesus that it has to be HIS WAY or NO WAY at all.

In this encounter the Lord showed me the intense battles that these PIONEERS and FORERUNNERS have been facing. They have been fighting for their lives recently yet they continue to put their hands to what the Lord has spoken and His assignment upon their lives right now.

There has been a deep weariness, heaviness and discouragement that has come upon many of these ones in the battle, but I heard the Lord speak

“FORERUNNERS AND PIONEERS, MAJOR DEMONSTRATIONS OF MY FAITHFULNESS ON EVERY FRONT, ARE UPON YOU!!!”

Where there has been “battle” and “attack” and “opposition” on every front, the tables are turning, the shift is taking place where you shall now see MAJOR demonstrations of His faithfulness manifesting in your life on EVERY SIDE.

These demonstrations of His faithfulness are UNPRECEDENTED. The way He is going to demonstrate His faithfulness TO YOU, you have never seen before. Your heart is going to be healed in these demonstrations by the power of God. Your soul will be refreshed in these major demonstrations of His faithfulness. You will be “bubbling over” with joy, with peace, with excitement and vision for the future.

The words surrounded me so loudly:

“FORERUNNERS AND PIONEERS YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE EMPOWERED BY MY SPIRIT IN STRENGTH LIKE YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN BEFORE. HERE COME THE WINDS OF MY STRENGTH AND ACCELERATION.”

In this encounter I saw the words “INCREASE AND FAVOUR” swirling around these pioneers and forerunners. There is a MAJOR birthing taking place of the new thing (Isaiah 43:19) that God is doing through what you are carrying and forerunning right now and as the release is happening and continues to happen you will be ASTONISHED at the level of increase and favour that will be released upon you by the HAND OF GOD that will totally change your life. I heard the words “Many have felt like they were in the prison like Joseph in such battle, caged, but OVERNIGHT they will be positioned into the PALACE. That overnight positioning is taking place NOW.”

God is restoring, increasing, redeeming and extending like never before. The increase in the acceleration, the favour in the acceleration will be like nothing you have seen before.

Restoring time and doing more

Many of the forerunners and pioneers feel like they have lost so much time “in the battle” but the Lord is restoring time and doing more in a moment that could take years to do. The power of His Spirit is going to be demonstrated in what He does in a moment that is going to increase faith and awe of who He is.

God is majorly increasing favour upon these ones in extravagant ways to see His Kingdom extended, to see His name lifted high, to see many come to know Jesus.

The Lord spoke again “This major increase of favour is upon these ones right now because they will keep it about Me.

Bless your brothers in the increase of favor

In the midst of this major increase of favour I saw “brothers” surrounding these PIONEERS AND FORERUNNERS and they were “whispering”.

It reminded me of Joseph’s brothers and the words that can be spoken because of jealousy and insecurity and not knowing the Father’s love. I then heard the words “I HAVE PREPARED YOU AND WILL PROTECT YOU”.There is a maturing God has been developing within these forerunners and pioneers to see them respond to words of jealousy, accusation or hurtful words with a heart of love like Jesus.

Responding in love

I watched as the pioneers and forerunners who were feeling the impact of these negative words coming against them from their brothers/sisters in Christ not respond in offense, not respond in hurt or pain, but respond in love. I saw them on their faces weeping, not because of the pain, but out of the love that they felt for the very ones who were cursing them, as they received the Father’s heart for their brothers/sisters. There was strength found in the blessing of those who were cursing them. They were motivated by His heart and a heart of forgiveness, blessings and reconciliation.

I then heard the words “In the blessing of those who curse you some of your greatest enemies will become your greatest friends.” Such an incredible sense surrounded me of the powerful transforming, miraculous move of His Spirit to completely reconcile and turn things around.

“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you..”

Matthew 5:44 (ESV)

THERE HAS BEEN INTENSE BATTLES OF THE MIND UPON THE PIONEERS AND FORERUNNERS BUT IT IS BREAKING AND THEY ARE MOVING INTO A MAJOR INCREASE OF WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT.

I heard the Lord say that there has been an intense battle of the mind upon the pioneers and forerunners, such a torment of the mind, but it is now breaking and He is moving them into a major increase of wisdom and discernment.

There is a MAJOR increase upon them of discerning the Lord’s voice from the voice of the enemy.

If that’s you, the Lord is taking you deeper into the library of heaven to reveal more strategies to you for this new era. He is going to release to you SPECIFIC wisdom on how to implement His strategies and how to STEWARD them.

The release of the wisdom of God

The wisdom of God that He is releasing is SO weighty and SO precious, treat it with care and steward it well with your obedience. Do not move forward with halfhearted obedience but give your all to HIS WAYS.

For the Lord showed me that FEAR OF MAN is an are that could cause halfhearted obedience as others come playing “devils advocate”.

I felt the Lord saying to keep your head between your knees in the place of intercession and focus on what HE is speaking. You have the deep resolve within you to follow the Lord’s command and that is clear by the journey you have walked, but do not allow things that “glitter” or the temptation of what looks like “greater influence” in the natural, sway you from the Lord’s words to you in this increase of favour. You know His voice, you know His way. I felt the Lord’s saying that for many of you the enemy is changing his tactics. Previously he has come to you with fear and intimidation, weariness and torment of the mind to cause you to “give up” and that hasn’t worked.

All that sparkles and glitters

The Lord showed me that he will now try to lure you with things that sparkle or glitter that aren’t “bad in nature” but just not what the Lord is breathing on.

The enemy will attempt to bring confusion to hinder the acceleration. It’s important to stay focused, be wise with whom you share and what you share and move in the wisdom and discernment of the Lord for that is where you will find great clarity and protection. Like where the enemy attempted to tempt Jesus on the rooftop (Matthew 4) by offering all the kingdoms of the world if Jesus compromised, USE THE WORD OF GOD, what God is speaking and where He is leading as your weapon.

God is going to send you forth with such specific heavenly wisdom for others also that He will position you to release this wisdom to the people He connects you with that will bring significant cultural change to the areas of culture they have influence in. The Daniels truly are arising.

Christ, manifesting powerfully in your life

The shift upon you right now is the greatest shift and birthing of your life that is why the battle has been so intense, but there is a royal flush of His victory that is already yours in Christ, manifesting POWERFULLY in your life to position you in ways you have never been positioned and to do what you have never done and go where you never thought you could go.

You will RUN, RUN, RUN with Him like never before and your bodies healed and strengthened and empowered with divine endurance.

This is your season of fulfillment

This is your season of fulfillment of your destiny in ways you have never seen to see the name of Jesus lifted high and His Glory spread all over the earth with many coming to know Him.

The battle in the dark night has shifted and the sun is rising upon you, a new day of adventuring, exploring, building and running empowered by the Spirit of God like never before.

Anatomy Of A Spiritual Union Pt. 5: By His Spirit

His Spirit

Preface:

This is the continuation of our story where YHWH reunites us. Time is a funny thing in the Spirit. While immutable here, in the realm of eternity it is rather fluid. God connected us years ago by His Spirit, yet through circumstances and the enemy, we did not find each other until now.

Whereas parts 1 through 4 were told from Emma’s perspective, this narrative is told from an overarching perspective – a story of the Spirit’s work in us, told from the vantage point of eternity. . . .

God Is Bringing Someone Special

Continuing on…

Michael was told by someone just a few days previously that God was bringing him someone special, someone that is a fulfillment of destiny.   As he read Emma’s reply, God’s Spirit confirmed what had been prophetically spoken. 

In the spiritual realm demons retreated, as God forced layers and layers of oppression to recede, and Michael and Emma felt the Spirit of God rising up in them as he drew them together.  A powerful spiritual pull began drawing them toward each other as they communicated, and as they each yielded to where their spirits were being drawn, they came together – beyond time and space.  Was it a place?  Was it a calling? An assignment from God? Yes – and it was in each other.  The magnetic pull, the knowing, the drive, the calling – it was him and it was her. 

Pressing in

Doubts mixed with eager anticipation filled their minds as they pressed into what they knew but dared not believe. 

A few days passed and Michael awoke in the morning, knowing Emma had come to him.  It was real, in God’s Spirit and it wasn’t a dream.  Though it faded as he stepped into the morning, he knew they had communicated and had come together.  God was doing this.  This was the Spirit’s work.

A Holy Kiss

Several nights later as Michael slept, his spirit came to Emma through God’s Spirit and took her in his arms and kissed her.  He knew. His spirit knew they had been called together to divinely fulfill a God-given destiny, and his spirit boldly drew her spirit to his.  She resisted the kiss – she knew it was him, somehow she knew him, but she resisted.  But then, led by the Spirit, she gave herself fully into his embrace and kissed him with her heart and soul; she knew she loved him deeply.  Then her mind battled her again, and she pulled back – how can this be? Who is he?

In the morning she awoke – was that just a dream? No, it was real…it was just like the visions and dreams she had repeatedly had decades ago of the one she loved and could not bear to be separated from…and they were real – or were they?

It was real

A few days passed and found them speaking on the phone.  He told her of her visit to him in the Spirit, and she told him of his visit to her.  Their spirits knew they had been coming to each other through the Spirit of God and communicating. She asked about the kiss.  Perhaps it was symbolic, not real? His spirit knew the truth and he dared to speak it:  “It was real.”  That night Michael signed off his email to her, “Hugs and kisses” – regretting it as soon as it was sent.  His spirit knew it was the truth, and God’s Spirit had prompted him to write it, but his mind…God, can you really be doing this?

Emma could feel that he regretted having signed off his email that way.  How could she know that? But those words didn’t bother her – for some reason.  And she responded, “And your ‘hugs and kisses’ comment didn’t bother me .‘”

And God answered clearly

Emma knew she was crossing over with him.  This “whatever it was” between them had reached a point of no turning back or stopping now. She could feel that.  In her head it made no sense, in her heart she wanted it, and in her spirit she knew: Her spirit was working with God’s Spirit to draw her deeper into “whatever it was”.  God, please, she prayed, I need to know Your will! I need you to show me for sure if this is you.  I need you to stop this if it is not your will, or show me clearly that you want me to move forward in this “whatever it is” with him.

God moved and He answered clearly.  And from 11:15 until 12:30 that night God connected them. Soul and spirit, He connected them.  Emma was drawn to Michael’s spirit, and his spirit was drawn to hers, and they merged – somehow they merged. She was wide awake all this time – she wasn’t dreaming – and she felt such a love that she had never felt before.  She heard his voice – almost audibly – say her name.  And she heard him say in the Spirit  “Your spirit is so open.  I can just walk right in.”  And then he told her, “you’re beautiful”

Such incredible love

As this feeling or communication went on that night, Emma’s mind would kick in.  And when she would start to panic, her Savior was right there, telling her:  “This is Me.  This is My Spirit”.  And then the peace was amazing.  And she felt SUCH INCREDIBLE LOVE.

She was overwhelmed by the amazing love she felt.  And she could feel – and she knew – they were communicating, their spirits were speaking to each other; they were reuniting and delighting in finding each other – again. Most of the time there were no discernible words to her, just spirit to spirit communication as their spirits recognized each other.  Then, at one point, her mind kicked in and interrupted the conversation.  Emma said to Michael, somehow through her mind and the Spirit of God, “But I don’t know you!”  Michael responded by the same means, “I would never hurt you.”  A few more minutes passed of the spirit to spirit communication between them, and then her mind interrupted again: “But I don’t know you!”  He responded again, in confidence, “Yes, you do. And I would never hurt you.”  And then she gave in.

Just then her spirit, soul, and mind felt such a peace and a love and an acceptance she had never in her life experienced.

An accelerated work of His Spirit

God’s Spirit, delighted in fulfilling the destiny He had placed in them, did a powerful, accelerated work.  Writing each other they recognized this and Michael wrote:  “What I’m finding with God is that I can trust Him as He speaks even if my natural mind doesn’t understand it. One thing that it does is cut out all the unnecessary steps that our own reasoning often inserts into situations.  Thus we can get to what God really wants to do a lot quicker than usual.”

“Actually, I have felt connected to you from very early on.  It is a sense of being present with you and you being present with me. . .” “Wow, this vulnerability thing is really intense.  How far to take this?. . .” This is GOD’s work, and it is a quick work.
