In the past month or so, a flurry of prophetic words have been posted here on Z3news.com revealing a significant shift is coming soon, a changing of the guard, the end of a long season of waiting for many of God’s people, and the rise of those whom God will use as Josephs before the Lord returns.
I believe these words all reveal different aspects of the same events. By putting them all together, we can see more clearly what is coming. Big changes are just ahead, not only for the world, but specifically for God’s people. I believe we have reached the season when God will fulfill specific promises He has made to specific people, in some cases many years ago, which explains why Syreeta Thomas heard Him say, “Watch as I bring every promise to pass, for I AM not slack. Neither do I lie.”
Those who have been waiting know exactly what this means, and Ryan LeStrange confirmed it when he saw, “Many of you are about to be announced and sudden doors will open.” Jermaine Francis also confirmed it when he heard, “Josephs Arise to Your Place of Prominence!”
Syreeta Thomas heard, “It is the shifting and changing of the guard!” The old guard will soon be replaced, which means no more of their old stale, dry, boring, religious services, which cannot satisfy anyone who is truly hungry for more of God. God has prepared a new guard to take their place and they will soon come out of the places where He has hidden them.
Glynda Lomax confirmed it when she heard, “My people are entering a time of great change now.” However, there is much more to these changes than just transitions into new roles. It is also about new levels of intimacy with God, as Sherry Gorslin saw, “The hour for another level of worship is here, an hour of seeing great things manifest.” Great things will manifest as a result of our moving up to higher levels of trusting and knowing God.
Joe Joe Dawson heard from God, “Now is the Time. Breakthrough is at hand. Jesus is ruling in your favor.” He also heard, “This is the great catch-up season. I am about to catch some people up.” Long awaited breakthroughs are coming, including financial breakthroughs as God is about to catch some people up by getting them out of debt. Lana Vawser received a similar word, “The Time is Now for the Winds of Destiny and Breakthrough Momentum to Collide.”
For many of us, the breakthroughs are coming just in time. We have waited so long, we are just barely holding on. I believe God had us in mind when He spoke to Lana Vawser saying, “Wounded, Weary Warriors, Your Healing Season is Upon You!” And also when He told Anita Alexander He is coming in this season and He is breathing upon those dry bones.
I don’t recall ever hearing so many similar words from so many people all within a few weeks. Clearly, God wants everyone who has been waiting to know it won’t be long now. Julie Whedbee confirmed it when she heard, “The birth pains come closer and closer now, as we are ready to give birth.”
Keys Are Required:
We are living in exciting times and it is encouraging to know what is coming, but there is another side to this that we must not overlook. God has revealed these changes are not coming automatically. It is not something He is going to do on His own, but something we will do as He gives us the keys and strategies to do it. He has given us an important part to play, a necessary part. We must use the keys He gives us to unlock the doors.
Lana Vawser heard, “New Keys Bringing Sudden Acceleration into New Ground.” Julie Whedbee also heard these changes will gain momentum as God revealed to her, “A great and mighty acceleration is upon you.” Anita Alexander saw in a dream God is going to help us find the keys, as she shared in in her post, “The Forgotten Will Be Forgotten No More!” She explained the reason why we have been waiting for so long in what she called “forgotten places,” places where we feel like God has forgotten us, is because we keep losing our keys. We must hold onto our keys so we can unlock the doors to get us out of our forgotten places.
When I heard that part of it, I was not quite as excited as when I heard the other parts. My initial thought was, “After all these years, haven’t I done enough already? After all I’ve been through, you’re telling me there is more I have to do just to get out of this mess? What keys? Where are the keys? Where are the doors?”
It sounds like we have to go on some kind of scavenger hunt to find the keys and doors. I just didn’t know if I had it in me to do all that. If you had asked me back in 1995 when I left the working world to venture into the great unknown, I would have been up for it back then. Back in those days, God spoke many great things to me and confirmed them through many prophetic words. My faith soared when I heard His promises. I was so excited and even cried tears of joy, but as I waited, the months turned into years and the years turned into decades. My hair turned gray. My kids grew up and moved away, and after all that I am still here waiting.
Recently, I reached the point where I did not want to hear any more promises from God because, after all this time, talk seemed cheap. In my not so humble opinion, it was time to put up or shut up and I felt justified about that because I only wanted to see the fulfillment of what God promised and because I had already waited way longer than I ever thought possible. I should have been dead by now many times over and I would have been if God had not bailed me out.
Things did not happen the way I expected. For a long time, I was passing the faith tests, overcoming all sorts of setbacks, relying heavily on my ace card, my daily encounters with God, entering His presence, taking refuge in the secret place of the Most High (Psalm 27:5). I was actually proud of how great I was doing spiritually, (which should have been a red flag all by itself) until about six months ago when the tests got much trickier. For the first time, I found myself stumped. God was doing some things I could not understand. It made no sense to me. It looked like He was trying to kill me. It looked a lot like that.
I discovered something I never knew existed, faith fatigue. Things that for years had been so easy for me to believe, suddenly seemed way too big for me to handle. I was humbled to see my faith tank out of gas. In the midst of the most severe trials of my life, my faith was running on fumes.
All the evidence kept pointing to the same conclusions, either God had forgotten me or He changed His mind about His promises to me. It sounds terrible to accuse God and of course it is contrary to many scriptures, but it got worse, escalating into a full-blown offense. I was mad at God and struggled with feeling like He lied to me. Even though I repented each time, I kept coming back to the same place again and again because I just couldn’t see any other possibilities. It surprised me because I thought I knew better, but I was stuck and didn’t know how to get out.
I wondered, “Why would God allow these things to happen to me? Why has He not done what He promised me? Why are things doing the exact opposite of what He said would happen?”
Obviously, those are not good thoughts. Those are deadly thoughts. Many have perished thinking those kinds of thoughts. (Jude 1:11) It’s a dangerous place to be stuck. And seeing myself stuck there made my other problems seem even worse, which had me asking another question, “God, how did I get here?”
The Me-Gospel:
I know some people might read this and think it could never happen to them. I hope it never does, but one reason why we think it won’t happen is because we’ve been so indoctrinated with the me-gospel, which tells us if it doesn’t make me more money, if it doesn’t bless me, if it doesn’t prosper me, if it doesn’t get me what I want, if it doesn’t raise me up to a position of honor, if it doesn’t do something good for me, then it could not possibly be from God. But for anyone who believes that, please answer the following questions.
First Question: Why was Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones? The valley is the low place, not the high place, not the place of more money, more prosperity, more blessings, not where anyone wants to go, especially not when it’s filled with dry bones. Our me-centered gospel tells us Ezekiel must have done something wrong. Maybe he took a wrong turn? Maybe he wandered away from God? But what does Ezekiel tell us? He said, “The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry.” (Ezekiel 37:1-2)
Ezekiel was not in the valley of dry bones because he did something wrong. He was not there because of his lack of faith. He was in that place of death because God led him there!
Second Question: Why was Joseph, the son of Jacob, sold into slavery and locked away in prison for thirteen years? Prison is the worst possible place to be. It’s not a blessing. It’s not where we get rich or get everything we want. What mistakes did Joseph make to deserve his fate? His terrible woes came because God gave him dreams revealing the future, which caused his brothers to hate him so much they threw him into a pit and sold him into slavery. Joseph did nothing wrong. He spent thirteen years in slavery and prison because of what God gave him! (Genesis 37 and 41) It was God’s plan for Joseph to go into the pit and the prison.
Third Question: Why did Abraham encounter a severe famine after he left behind everything he had known to go to a land God promised to show him? When he arrived there, the famine was so severe, he had to flee for his life into Egypt, where his problems grew worse because Pharaoh took Sarai his wife! What crime did Abraham commit to deserve such trouble? All these troubles came upon him not because of anything he did wrong, but because he obeyed God. (Genesis 12)
More Questions: This same pattern is repeated in the lives of person after person throughout the Bible, but the me-centered gospel dismisses their testimonies, claiming that was just under the Old Testament, so it was different for them. But if that was true, then why was the Lord Jesus led by the Spirit into the wilderness where he ate no food for forty days and nights and was tempted by the devil (Matthew 4:1-11). And why did He later suffer a brutal death that He wanted to avoid if possible? He died a horrible death because He obeyed God, saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42)
The me-gospel also dismisses the sufferings of the Lord Jesus by claiming He suffered so we don’t have to. Then why did the Apostle Paul endure so much trouble? How can anyone reconcile the me-gospel with what he wrote here?
9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.
11 To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;
12 and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;
13 when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now. (1 Corinthians 4:9-13)
The me-gospel tells us these things were for someone else, but never for us. Yet, from start to finish the scriptures say otherwise. I believe the word of faith message and the prosperity message because both are scriptural. I thank God for the great teachers who have shared great revelation in those areas, but those teachings must always keep the focus on the cross, not seeking our own desires, but denying ourselves to follow the Lord wherever He wants us to go and doing whatever He wants us to do, not for our sake, but for His sake.
Those who follow the cross should not be surprised when God leads them into the valley of dry bones, into the pit, into the severe famine, into the wilderness, onto the cross, making them a spectacle to the world, hungry and thirsty, the scum of the world. Anyone who finds themselves there should rejoice because they are in good company. It is the way everyone who follows Him must go. The power of a resurrected life is found only in the way of the cross.
Bearing More Fruit:
After a long season of barrenness, a new season is upon us, and it is all about bearing more fruit. For that to happen, we know what must happen first because He said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (John 12:24)
Our faith is like a seed. Sometimes it must fall into the earth and die before it can bear much fruit. God is preparing His people to demonstrate His power to a lost world, but His power is perfected in our weakness because when we are at our weakest place, our most vulnerable place, the place that looks like death, the place we never want to go, the place that appears to have no way of escape, then God’s power grows stronger until it reaches full maturity in us because in our dire need we press into another level of devotion to Him (2 Corinthians 12:9).
In the valley of dry bones, Ezekiel prophesied and there was a noise and a rattling and the bones came together and flesh grew and skin covered them. Then he prophesied again and “breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.” (Ezekiel 37:7-10)
After thirteen years of slavery, Joseph was called out of prison by Pharaoh who said to him, “You shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you. See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” (Genesis 41:40-41) Later, Joseph told his brothers, “Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.” (Genesis 45:5)
After enduring the severe famine and having his wife taken by Pharaoh, Abraham and Sarah gave birth to Isaac, just as God promised him twenty-five years earlier, even though Abraham was one hundred years old and Sarah’s womb was as good as dead since she was ninety years old. Through Isaac, Abraham became the father of many nations, the ancestor of the Messiah, and today is called the father of our faith. (Genesis 21:1-5)
After forty days in the wilderness without eating any food, the devil left the Lord Jesus and angels came and began to minister to Him. (Matthew 4:11) Then He went throughout all Galilee ministering in power, “healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people.” (Matthew 4:23)
After He was crucified, died, and put into a tomb, the Lord Jesus arose from the dead in a new glorified immortal, imperishable body capable of entering rooms even when all the doors were shut. (John 20:19). He appeared many times to His disciples and then ascended into heaven. (Acts 1:9)
After being treated like the scum of the world and going forth “in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,” the Apostle Paul ministered not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that our faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:3-5)
After the valley comes the victory. After the pit comes the palace. After the famine comes the fulfillment. After the wilderness comes the miracles. After the crucifixion comes the resurrection. After the weakness comes the power of God.
Finding the Keys:
When I started my prayer time Sunday morning, I was in bad shape, stuck on, “Why God?” I was at the end of what I could endure, but after crying out to Him about it, I made a choice to just enter His presence, even without any answers to my questions. All I knew was I had no one else to turn to.
After a short time, as I was listening to anointed worship music, the Spirit of God began ministering to me and said, “This is not about you. What you are going through now is not about you. You are going through it for someone else.”
When He said that, I immediately understood this was the key to unlock the door to the next season. I also understood the someone else was someone I don’t even know and may never know in this life. All this time, I had been racking my brains trying to understand why God was putting me through these things, but I could not figure it out because I was looking at it from the wrong perspective, the me-centered perspective. I could not unlock the door because I had lost the keys, so I was stuck in the valley of dry bones.
I was not there because of anything I did wrong, but because of what God wants to do for someone else. While I was all focused on me, God was focused on someone else.
No wonder I couldn’t find the key. I was always looking in the wrong place. It was never about me. It was always about someone else.
I have not been the same since then, and I believe God showed me on Sunday I will never be the same again. My attitude has totally changed because my perspective has changed. It was a seismic shift, a major correction, a game changer moment. It was the key because it unlocked a new perspective on everything I am now enduring. Before I received that key, I was completely out of gas, but now I believe I have what I need to endure whatever comes next.
I believe it was the fulfillment of what Ryan LeStrange heard, “April is the month of the divine shake-up, a sudden month, sudden movement is going to come forth.”
Death of the Me-Gospel:
The me-gospel cannot comprehend the true gospel because it makes no sense to them. They wonder, “Why would anyone want to serve a God who leads us into hardships?”
They claim God would never do that because He is good. Yes, He is good, very good, but we need to align our perspective with His perspective, which is so much higher than ours. We are naturally self-centered, so we tend to see what God is doing in our life from our perspective, which is the wrong perspective. God sees us as part of His body, so we are joined together with many others, and each part works for the benefit of the whole body, so it is not all about us. He also sees multitudes of people who are lost and perishing unless they turn to Him. So He does things in our life for the benefit of others, even sometimes requiring us to lay down our lives for His sake and their sake, which explains why the end-time church overcame the evil one because “they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:11)
The me-gospel cannot comprehend how it makes sense to lay down our lives because it is not “good for me,” but God is still good even when He asks us to endure hardship. For example, God commanded Isaiah to walk around naked for three years. Good luck fitting that into the me-gospel, but it was not for Isaiah’s benefit. It was for the benefit of the Egyptians and Ethiopians who were trusting in themselves to prevail against their enemies. (Isaiah 20) God is faithful to reward us for our service, so in the long run it will be good for everyone, including us, but we must have the right perspective so we can endure to the end.
Everyone who believes the me-gospel will have an endurance problem. Their faith will ultimately fail because they have believed the lie that God must make it good for me now, not later. They lack patience to wait for Him to make it right in the end, to repay them for their service, their endurance, and their suffering, which is a big problem because God’s promises are inherited by faith AND patience. (Hebrews 6:12) True faith believes even when we cannot see and trusts God even when it feels like He is trying to kill us.
I find it amazing and exciting how God uses us for the sake of helping others. Only God could orchestrate events on that level. What an honor and a privilege for us to have a part to play, and the honor is even greater when we consider the faith required from us to believe what we cannot see, knowing and trusting our God is always for us, always good, even when it does not look like it. That is good news!
In this next season, the me-gospel will not survive and anyone who holds onto it will perish with it, and we already know many who now claim to be Christians will perish because a great falling away from the faith is coming (2 Thessalonians 2:3), but God has better things planned for us. He is calling us up to a higher level where we will gladly lay down our lives for the sake of others, allowing Him to do what He wants to do through us.
Here is God’s promise to everyone who has endured this long season and has found themselves asking, “Why God?”
“Rejoice barren woman who does not bear. Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor; for more numerous are the children of the desolate than of the one who has a husband.” (Galatians 4:27)
I encourage you to grab hold of this key, unlock the door, and proceed into the great new season ahead. I’ve had this old song stuck in my head and I feel like God wants me to share the lyrics, so I’ll close with this:
“Something beautiful, something good,
All my confusion, He understood.
All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife,
But God made something beautiful out of my life.”

James Bailey is a blogger, business owner, husband and father of two grown children. In 1982, he surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. In 2012, he founded Z3news.com to broadcast the message of salvation by reporting end time news before it happens.
So tell me; what is the good news? If wallowing in wilderness and becoming scum as you put it is good news, why would anyone want that? Why would anyone want more misery? James says that every good and perfect gift comes from Him. If I actually believed that God wants us beaten down and hurt, I would turn my back on it all because we already are attacked by a devil who wants us like that.
Tell me where is the message of hope in any of what you have said? None of it makes any sense. I hear some saying God is a good God and others saying that He actually leads us into hurt and misery. Jesus talked about how an earthly father treats his children and how much more our Father loves us. I wouldn’t dream of dragging my children through misery so I can “teach” them something, although at times I would let them make their own decisions to help them grow up. Anyone who is a parent wants to bless their kids and God doesn’t? It’s no wonder people are turned off by Christians! If our God is the kind of God you describe, I wouldn’t want Him either. If He is one who brings us into bad things to teach us something, most of which no one can figure out in the first place, then none of this hurting world needs that. Isn’t the good news supposed to be good news? Isn’t it supposed to be that we have a Beautiful Father who loved us so much that He sent His only Son to make a way for us to once again be His children?
I don’t know about you, but I have to believe that my Father is good. It’s all we have to hang onto in this lost and hurting world. I have to believe that He wants us blessed because anyone who professes love, even in the world, wants their children blessed and He said very clearly that He wants us blessed so much more.
God is good, very good, but we need to align our perspective with His perspective, which is so much higher than ours. We are naturally self-centered, so we tend to see things God is doing in our life from the wrong perspective. God sees us as part of His body, so it is not all about us. He does things in our life for the benefit of others, even sometimes requiring us to lay down our lives for His sake and their sake, which explains why the end-time church overcame the evil one because “they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:11)

Dear James , This article resonated with my own life experience and I am really grateful that you penned it . Thank you. It was very real and touched on many issues I have and still do struggle with. Engaging with the article which articulated many of my issues was very therapeutic for me. Bless you . Peter McLeod [South Africa]
That’s awesome Peter. Thanks for sharing.
james – much of what you say here i empathise with – where are the keys, where are the promises, what doors etc.
O wow James i can so relate to this because this is exactly where I am at as well. Just last week I had realized I was focused on Me Me Me & I have since changed my perspective. What an eye opener. Thank you so much for sharing!
God has had me and my family on the very edge of financial failure the last 13 years. We have lived hand to mouth, month to month. We’ve lost our home, had health issues, a constant thwarting of everything we have tried to do, not only to make a better living, but in wanting to serve the Lord. Dead ends. Closed doors. Silence. At times the enemy has seemed to have more power than God over my life. Constant delays, difficulties and defeat. Life has been anything but “life”, but by God’s grace we have survived this very poignant season.
Having said that, what we have lacked in comfort God has given us in wisdom and perspective. We have learned to live and walk in the Spirit. This arduous season is now over and we are entering a new one… the fulfillment of God’s purpose for our lives. His anointing is manifesting. Chains are being broken. Opportunities are springing up. New life…
So, what was this season of suffering about?
“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you”. 1 Peter 5:10
…”A while”. This is a specific season in God’s timing and purpose for our calling… the time between the planting of the dream and its fulfillment. A time of testing, training and preparation. It’s a time of suffering. This type of suffering is not caused by sin or something we’ve brought upon ourselves. It’s suffering that brings about God’s desired results…
…To “perfect” (mature) us. Long suffering gives us perspective and wisdom. “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” 1 Corinthians 13:11
…To “establish” us: Our old foundation must crumble and fail us so that our new foundation can only be Jesus. We can no longer rely on our abilities, our knowledge, or our experience, but Him alone. “Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Psalm 127:1 The second part of that verse shows us that when God establishes us, we don’t have to defend or protect ourselves. Likewise, if we take a shortcut to our calling, we are on our own!
…To “strengthen” us: We become battle-tested as we learn to fight against our real enemy. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20 We are learning to walk in the strength of God’s Spirit so that we will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Our calling must also be accomplished by His Spirit, and not of our flesh.
…To “settle” us: We now have peace and calm where we used to freak out. How many times will God put us in vulnerable circumstances until we learn to trust Him? We can’t be settled until we first know we are loved and that He’s got us. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrew 11:6
This season is meant to change not only our perspective, but to change us from the inside out. It’s a time of burning away our religiosity and self-reliance. We become more authentic believers, learning humility and trust and made more aware of God’s grace and faithfulness.
Why is this season so long? It has to be. We have to go through the long process of trusting and surrendering. Transformation takes a long time and our old ways die hard. God uses this time to show us our desperation and dependence on Him. We have to come face to face with who God is, and isn’t, as Job did. God is Sovereign. He’s not a genie who dispenses wishes to those who rub His belly through moral or religious acts. “…for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” Philippians 2:13
Delay is not denial. He will keep His promises. His Word is true. But in this season, all will be tested. Will we believe Him when we feel abandoned, broken hearted and forgotten? If He promised you something, He will fulfill it, despite what your circumstances are until His timing is perfect to do so. In fact, your circumstances are an indication that He’s preparing you for it’s fulfillment. Just like Joseph, David, Moses, Abraham, and a host of biblical examples called according to His purpose.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
I believe we are entering a season unlike any other, when God pours out what He has poured into us in this season. Our long, difficult road of suffering will become a distant memory as we fulfill our heart’s desire to serve our King before His return. No ounce of our pain will be wasted. It will have all been worth it! “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18
Thanks for sharing this awesome testimony Ric.
All this testifying , building up our spirits, and strengthening us..Ric McNair and all I am truly feeling the connecting of the body of Christ coming together here at Z3…this is real church and all the Glory to God
Thank you for this post. In your transparency..selfless…you were sharing exactly my life’s experiences and journey. It was amazing to read and to know I was not alone. It was not my imagination that my heart for God in 90s paralleled yours but also the financial and where are the calls on my life that I attempted to walk in the Lord’s direction but seemed to disappear. Or to become extremely convoluted. I have missed your blog. Used to read it everyday. I’m back in the saddle again. Bless you for what you do to the Glory of God.
Thanks for sharing your testimony Christine and welcome back.
