Breakthrough, Shift & Doors: 5783 – 2023 the Era of the Patriarchs!

So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” And the LORD said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.” So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a BREAKTHROUGH OF WATER.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.” 2 Samuel 5:20  

The Hebrew word for Breakthrough is pârats meaning to break out, make a breach, break forth, burst out, spread abroad, increase, and open.  Many prophetic voices have spoken over the years about SHIFTING, DOORS, CROSSOVER, AND BREAKTHROUGH. These are words we have heard repeatedly that may need clarification for some. Breakthrough is related to spiritual barriers that God destroys that hinder our progress. Shift describes movement God initiates that we may occupy a new position in the spirit that manifests in the natural. Doors and crossing over represent the opening of new and effective spheres of opportunity providing us with the choice to go through.  

These words illustrate the paradigm of forward movement in relation to the journey we find ourselves on, after becoming born again. We enter a process and a movement of continual, supernatural transformation that is both sublime & transcendent. The definition of these two words perfectly describes the characteristics of the supernatural journey we began with Creator God.  

Sublime means to elevate or exalt, especially in dignity or honor, to render finer (as in purity or excellence). To convert something inferior into something of higher worth. Outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth; tending to inspire awe usually because of elevated quality (as of beauty, nobility, or grandeur) or TRANSCENDENT EXCELLENCE.  

Transcendent means exceeding usual limits: surpassing, extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience. BEING BEYOND THE LIMITS OF ALL POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE. 

The Journey of breakthrough, shifting and crossing over through doors, is a sublime and transcendent experience we dwell in with the Lord as we increase in maturity and responsibility, gaining in wisdom and integrity, as we press deeper into the Presence of the Lord.  

In the Late fall of 2019, I had two powerful visions at a conference, where exactly what I saw was later prophesied by the leader. In essence, what I saw were a long line of trumpeters announcing the Kings’ entrance into the Sanctuary of the Church. The second vision moved outside the Church where I saw a vast army of saints being released to ride with the Angelic Hosts. I believed from this, that we were about to see great things in 2020! However, we saw the opposite! Why, I asked the Lord. His answer was that we must have a fresh revelation of the magnified LORD—THAT HE IS A HOLY AND MIGHTY GOD!

In the Bible, the Lord is called by many names that describe Him such as Yahweh Shalom our peace, or Yahweh Rapha, our healer. However, the name that He has chosen to use nearly ten times more than all other names is THE LORD OF HOSTS—the Lord of the Armies of Heaven, used 244 times.  The LORD obviously wants us to understand that He is a great WARRIOR KING. His power and might are transcendent beyond anything we can ever imagine; beyond ten thousand times ten thousand nuclear bombs. When His right arm is lifted the earth trembles; when He moves lightning and thunder follows and the whole earth shakes. When He moved to take His people out of Egypt, He was showing only a minuscule measure of His power. When He parted the Red Sea, He was simply breathing out.  

Three years have passed since I had those two visions. I fully believed these last three years have been about crucifixion. Without crucifixion, we cannot have resurrection power. Pride must be demolished and as seen in Isaiah 6. Uzziah, representing pride, had to die. It was in the year Uzziah died that the robe of the LORD filled the Temple! Our lips have to be burned with the coal from the altar, that He might INCREASE… that we might release His Voice in the Earth.  

God has chosen to move through a people fashioned IN HIS IMAGE. We are His warrior kings representing the Kingdom—an Army of deliverers. We have been taking much about the New Breed, not having understood that they become new because they are being crucified in the crucible of Divine destiny.  

For the LORD’s will to be accomplished flesh has to die. We needed to see our own state. Why would God invest power in something that is riddled with pride? Especially when He says pride is a stench to him. So, we have been dying, that He might live, that He might increase. The crucified life is ground zero, the only platform He has chosen to stand on. We are being conformed in every part, to who He is, that He might be manifested in our lives. His intention is that we arrive at the place of full stature in Him, but what level of death will that require?  

We each have been fashioned according to a blueprint that has been encoded with vast possibilities. We have been encoded and pre-loaded with the potential for Godlikeness to do the greater works. This takes place when He is ready and when our character is ready—when we become the platform He can stand on, or the donkey He can ride in on. 

We have come into the time of His increase where every knee and every head must bow low because the King in all His Glory is passing by. THE KING IS ABOUT TO RISE IN A NEW WAY, in the midst of a prepared people. The visions I saw will be fulfilled! Jesus is about to increase in this hour to accomplish great and mighty things. So, we must decrease and give Him His place. I have been living and experiencing the revelation God gave me that great breakthrough happened at Passover, a people were positioned and secured at Pentecost and at the Feast of Sukkot, great and effective doors are being opened to many who will be locked & loaded with dunamis power to advance on the offensive against the encroaching darkness. 

On September 25th we entered the Jewish New Year 5783 leading to 2023 with seven very significant years ahead in this decade. Three is the third Hebrew letter Gimel having a Numerical value of three. One of its meanings for the Jewish people is THE PATRIARCHS—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Gimel represents maturity—to mature, ripen, nourish, reward, recompense, and benefit. 

I believe 5783 and 2023 begins THE ERA OF THE PATRIARCHS—apostolic fathers & mothers emerging in the glorious stature of Christ. This will be the era of maturity having been achieved. The pictograph of Gimel is a camel. Camels are able to make DANGEROUS and DEADLY JOURNEYS across the desert or wilderness because of their pregnant like hump filled with “water” reserves. They enable life to continue.” We began with the scripture regarding Baal Perazim – the breakout of water! Water brings life, nourishes life, and sustains life!

Jesus told Nicodemus; “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is BORN OF WATER and THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5

Jesus told the Samaritan woman: “…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. THE WATER THAT I WILL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A SPRING OF WATER WELLING UP TO ETERNAL LIFE.”  John 4:14

Many have prophesied of camels bringing treasures and resources to God’s people and I believe this to be true, but in this instance I believe that the camel also represents the apostolic army of God travelling through dangerous territory ahead, loaded with Life giving Water for the nations. The Camels are coming!

Jesus announced: “ON THE LAST DAY OF THE FEAST (Sukkot), THE GREAT DAY, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘OUT OF HIS HEART WILL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.’”  John 7:37

The word heart also means belly or womb – Out of your womb shall flow rivers of living water! THE BRIDE’S WATER IS BREAKING AND ABOUT GUSH FORTH. This represents your gift, your light, your destiny in Him that is about to break out in Rivers of Living Water. The release is coming to those who have embraced the fire, humbled themselves and submitted to His ways, that He may rise up to do His work!

“For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.” Isaiah 28:21
