A Time of Rapid Acceleration

 II Chronicles 29:36 – “Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly.

  When I was a young boy growing up my dad bought my mom a very nice 1969 Chevrolet Caprice.  It was silver with a dark vinyl top.  I remember it being a sporty car with a powerful engine.  One of the things that I remember is my father talking about the car having a passing gear.  


A passing gear is a gear in an automatic transmission that shifts to a lower gear to provide an extra burst of power to pass slower cars on the highway. The driver activates it when the gas pedal is sharply depressed.  When the gas pedal is released the car will return to normal driving.


We are entering into a time of rapid acceleration. God is going to allow us to accomplish His purposes at an accelerated pace.  In II Chronicles we learn that King Hezekiah cleansed the temple and restored true worship.  In verse 36 we learn that these events were accomplished at an accelerated pace.


In a vehicle with a manual transmission, we have to shift gears in order to accelerate.  If we are going to experience acceleration in this season then some things must shift.  We must expect a shift to take place if we are going to experience breakthrough in an accelerated manner.  


In a recent time of prayer about this time of acceleration we are entering into, the Lord impressed me that as we make our journey of faith that we are going to encounter obstacles of the enemy in our way.  When we do things are going to shift and we are going to be able to accelerate and go around these things that would hinder our journey of faith.


To accelerate means to make something happen sooner rather than later.  The latter part of Hebrews 12:1 encourages us to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”  We must allow the Holy Spirit to identify and remove any hindrance that has the potential to hinder our advance.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Fourth Month - The Month to See

  In   1 Chronicles 12:32   we learn that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  Like the sons of Issachar, we need to have an understanding of the times.  We are in a time of uncertainty and fear, therefore we need prophetic insight into what God has for us and desires to do in our lives. For some time I have been praying and asking God to give me insight into how He moves in time. The Sons of Issachar were masters of the calendar.  In  Exodus 12:2  the Lord establishes the Hebrew calendar.  “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.”  The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover.  This is the calendar that God ordained and introduced in the Bible.  To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a differ...

The Fifth Month - Av - The Month to Hear

--> The Fifth Month – Av The Month to Hear For a number of years I have been studying and praying for insight into how the Lord moves and works in time. We learn in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  They were masters of the Hebrew calendar.   In Exodus 12:2 the Lord established the Hebrew calendar. “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover in the month of Nissan.  This calendar was God ordained and introduced in the Bible.   To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a different time cycle than the Word of God. The Bible refers to the month of Av as the fifth month counting from Passover.  It corresponds to the months of ...
