Over the last few months, but especially this last week, I have felt a strong urgency in the Spirit to not be “rushing ahead” right now. There is an invitation from the Lord right now to rest, be still, linger with Him and not be in a hurry because He is releasing crystal clear revelation for 2020 and beyond.
There are many in the body of Christ that are feeling like they are living in the place of constant transition and trying to find the “missing piece”.
The Lord showed me right now in the place of lingering with Him, being quiet before Him, resting in Him and waiting on Him, that He is releasing strategy and insight into 2020 and beyond that is actually greater than has even been asked for.
There is a deeper positioning in Jeremiah 33:3 that the Lord is inviting us into.
‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’ (AMP Version)
I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Things will not be as they have been.” This was not a negative statement. This was a declaration of UPGRADE. This was a statement of PROMOTION. This was a statement of the NEW that He is leading His people into. This was an invitation into taking “NEW LANDS” that were on completely different maps to what you have “walked on and in” previously. This was an invitation into a new adventure with the Lord and pioneering new pathways. It was an invitation into allowing the Holy Spirit to prepare you to carry what He is releasing.
I heard the Holy Spirit whisper “In My presence, all other voices are silenced and My voice becomes LOUD.”
The sense surrounded me that many are surrounded with many “options.” Others are surrounded by “many voices” and there is so much “noise”.
In the place of “not rushing ahead” and specifically waiting upon Him, the other voices are going to be silenced and the Lord’s voice is going to become LOUDER than ever. There will such ‘high definition’ dreams, visions and encounters from the Lord that you will have crystal clear clarity of what He is speaking and releasing to you regarding 2020 and beyond. Do not fear that you will “miss it”. The key is to “WAIT ON HIM” and He is going to MAKE IT CLEAR. The loving warning from His heart is to not rush ahead in what you have done before or “think” you know the way He is moving, because things will not be as they have been before.
The words then surrounded me, “I WILL MAKE THE PATHWAY FOR THE NEW DAY AS PLAIN AS DAY!”
“Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 TPT)
Some of the pathways that the Lord leads you down and releases you into will feel like you’re going “off the beaten track,” but that is the place where the greatest encounter with Jesus, provision, favor and move of His Spirit you have experienced thus far, will be found. It’s time to PIONEER NEW PATHWAYS with Jesus to see His Kingdom established and Glory revealed.
Some of the revelation the Lord is releasing for 2020 and beyond is going to seem completely “opposite” to what is being told to you that you “should do”. Can I encourage you to follow the Lord’s voice at all costs? Follow Him and obey Him completely. The Lord will demonstrate His favor and vindication as you walk in obedience. The time we are in now in this new era and what God is going to do and entrust us with is SO precious we must be people that bow to His voice alone and not the expectations of man. It’s time to come out of “ungodly expectations and pressures” and walk wholeheartedly in the counsel of the Lord.
As you step out in obedience to His voice, you will see the voices of the wise drawn to you by the Lord to confirm your way. The Lord is strengthening you in the wrestle. He is strengthening you in the tension. He is fortifying you in the opposition and the transition, so you move forward walking in purity, obeying His voice and His strategy alone and not swayed by man or man’s opinions.
Discernment is going to MAJORLY increase in the place of “waiting” upon the Lord for 2020 and beyond especially in “sniffing out” the lies of the enemy and the python spirit that has twisted what God has said. The lies and fears of old will be uprooted once and for all. You will “smell” the stench of these lies and recognize them for what they are and uproot them with your authority and the power of the Word of God. They won’t have the affect they have had on you before as the volume of the Lord’s voice MAJORLY increases raising your discernment like never before, so 2020 will not be infected by these lies but you will walk in a whole new level of freedom from these things and a deeper place of access of His heart and His revelation and wisdom for 2020 and beyond and move accordingly without fear.
I then had a vision and as God’s people were sitting with Him, refusing to “run ahead” because things ‘looked good” or “sounded good” but waited on His direction, I saw keys raining down upon them from heaven and these keys were on fire. I then heard the words, “2020, the year of the springboard into the greatest unlocking of the next ten years.”
What God is releasing now for 2020 is going to UNLOCK foundational strategy, wisdom and revelation for the next ten years in INCREASE. God is rebuilding foundations and laying new foundations with the revelation He is releasing for 2020 which is going to unlock significant strategy and wisdom to BUILD WITH HIM.
God spoke to me for this year (2019) that what He is doing this year is setting us up for LONGEVITY. 2020 is going to see a MAJOR increase of that, but especially regarding VISION. Ministries are going to rapidly and radically change going into 2020. There is a divine makeover God is doing and, in 2020 and beyond, MANY ministries will look completely different along with the FIVE-FOLD being raised up and positioned to operate in the church from 2020 and beyond in unity in ways we have not yet seen. The shifting, shaping, changing of the guards, and rearranging God is doing is to make room for the new wine and for the King of Glory to step in. (Psalm 24:7-9)
Children Will Play a Major Role in What God is Doing in 2020 and Beyond:
Last year, I had a dream and the Lord spoke to me about this new era and the mighty outpouring of His Spirit and He whispered, “It won’t begin until it begins with the children.”
God is restoring the family unit. He is restoring the ministry and family balance and teaching His people in greater ways how to do family (as a household and the body of Christ) well. God is going to restore the awe and wonder to the Church like we have never seen and some of the greatest demonstrations of His Spirit that are going to leave people both who know Jesus and those who do not yet know Him in awe and wonder as He moves through “The least of these” – THE CHILDREN. We are already seeing God do wonderful things through children but I heard the Holy Spirit say “You ain’t seen nothing yet. Children will play a MAJOR role in what I am doing in 2020 and BEYOND”
The Lord went on to share with me that there will be a MAJOR increase of divine insight, wisdom and strategy for doing life as family, well. A major increase of His heart and revelation for parenting and sowing into the next generation that we have not yet increased.
I also saw many children and their hearts were broken. There was trauma and hurt and the Holy Spirit spoke to me to encourage mothers, fathers, grandparents, carers, aunties, uncles, anyone who has a child on their heart and believing for healing for their broken heart and traumas, the Lord has heard and seen. Your prayers availeth much. Keep interceding because God is restoring and healing and you will see the Holy Spirit not only restore and heal them, but they will begin to walk in encounters with Jesus and the gifts of the Spirit in 2020 like you have never seen.
With a joy in His heart I heard Him whisper to the adults,
“Pay attention to the children for they are going to teach you a lot more about Me and My Word and prophesy My way and strategy to you for 2020 and beyond. The children with their childlike faith and trust in Me will release impartation to the adults and teach those who have been walking with Me for years , MUCH, going into 2020 and beyond, so make sure you are watching and listening.”
Friends, don’t be in a hurry. What God is revealing, releasing and positioning you into for 2020 and beyond will leave you in nothing but awe and wonder of our beautiful Jesus and your heart burning for Him stronger than ever.

New VISION – Given to Sonja Craighead

I greatly appreciate this word as it speaks to me in areas the Lord has touched in the past. It is confirmation and of great encouragement to me, thank you! Several years ago, I had a dream in which the Lord took me up to the top of the Empire State Building. He took me outside of the building and stood me at the top but several feet away from the building. I was standing on nothing and could and did look down by His bidding. I wasn’t afraid and didn’t have any fear of heights. He asked me what I saw, and I looked down at the ground. The cars were so small and the people milling around were tiny. Everything looked so far away. Then the Lord said to me that the life we know now and our reality now will someday be so far from what we will know then as our life and our reality. But, He said, we will be so high up above what we now know, that we will be above it all as we operate in the Holy Spirit and live in His will, that we will be amazed. I wasn’t afraid as He showed me this thing to come, how we will be so empowered and will learn to operate in this new way of living.
Thanks, Pam. Your dream fills us with hope.
Yes, awesome dream Pam. Thanks for sharing! Truly, eye has not seen, ear has not heard and our minds cannot comprehend the beyond description things that He has in store for those who love Him and are loved by Him and know Him intimately. Will be so much fun!
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the prophetic; false/true prophets. I haven’t seen his name mentioned on here before so I am going to introduce Bobby Conners to the Z3 family as a true New Testament prophet. The message is from this morning. Bobby is one of my favorites. He’ll be be 76 this fall and has been in the ministry for 50yrs so is not wet behind the ears. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHl_8W2fXpA
My bad….I forgot to say start at 2:06 mark
Again I need to include one more directive. Session 11
Thanks Eldon. He’s a great prophet. It’s been a long time, but I shared some of his words years ago. I quoted him in my book too. Here’s a link to one of our old posts:
https://z3news.com/w/higher-wisdom-is-being-released-in-2013/
James thanks for this link. I only found z3news in 2017. There is probably a lot I still should read.
James Bailey did an excellent article a while back addressing the issue of “False Prophets”.
Here’s the link: https://z3news.com/w/rules-radicals/
Here’s an excerpt from that article that helps bring some understanding of what to look for when trying to discern a “false prophet” from a true prophet of the LORD:
Good confirming word about the children. I received a word concerning the children a few years back. I can’t wait to see the mighty works of God among the children and how he will confound the wise by using the most unlikely of people. Our God is greater than any of the works of man. This is his hour as he moves among the meek and the humble of the earth.
I thought of you today, Lydia, when I was at church. I remember you said you couldn’t stop attending because of your love for the children. This “Apostate” megachurch I went to today had an assembly line, with backpacks and school supplies and everyone got in line to stuff the backpacks for underprivileged kids. Then we to stacked them up, a staggering amount. I said to myself, “this is what it’s all about, isn’t it?” The children, the poor, rolling up our sleeves and helping. Next week, these “Apostates” are going to be at the park to give free haircuts, hand out backpacks, serve up a meal, and play games with the poor kids and their families. All this talk about what constitutes a true or false prophet has me scratching my head. I consider John the Baptist to be the prophet of all prophets. What did he say? “He who has two shirts, give to the one who has none.” I’m just feeling this more everyday. Are those not the fruits of repentance?
Hey Carolanne,
Indeed those are fruits of repentance that we should share out of what we have with those who are in need. I’m reminded of the early church that was filled with his Spirit and how they thought of material possessions. The scriptures say, “ Neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.”
John the Baptist said other things as well such as being content with your wages.
I believe all of these things are evidence of the Spirit at work however we know that even apostates and unbelievers can be kind and share all the while neglecting to uphold the truth of the Gospel. It reminds me of when Jesus said concerning the Pharisees who were so careful about tithing, etc but neglected the more important matters, “ These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.”
We are seeing an emergence of good works, a social gospel if you will that does many good things but if they neglect to preach Christ and him crucified and the need for repentance, we have merely fed and clothed them while they are on the road to hell. I think this good works mentality will be common in the new world religion.
The children are always on my heart. I grieve for them that they have to grow up in a world ruled by darkness. The enemy brings so much confusion to their souls. We have to help them. I have been helping out in children’s church and summer camps for a couple of years now. It’s a good thing but I see all around me evidence of Babylon working in our midst. There are things I would do different. I think God is teaching me and showing me things about the children. I would love to see them lay hands on the sick and be bold witnesses for Jesus. Of course what I see in the teaching curriculum is so different. They color and play a lot of games and watch movies. One of the most special moments at camp this summer was when my granddaughter came to my bunk and ask me to read the Bible. The other kids were all playing. As I begin to read, a group of the girls gathered round and starting listening to the scriptures. It was a God moment. I don’t believe the church as a whole recognizes children as mighty warriors for God and I believe they are so hungry but we don’t know how to fed them.
Shortly after I started working with the children, my son in law was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and he passed away this past February. It has been an extremely hard time for my family. He left behind my daughter and 2 beautiful girls. Me being there at that time enabled me to minister to them in a way I had not planned on.
My daughter was so desperate after his death she begin to seek out some type of experience where she might be able to speak with him.
My granddaughter had a dream that her mom was talking to her dad, and who she was talking to looked like her dad but she knew it wasn’t him. She knew it was a demon. It scared her so bad. She told her mom about it and her mom recognized that God was trying to warn her that she was getting off into error. God can use the young in so many amazing ways. I dream of having a prophetic school for the young where they can learn to operate in the gifts of the Spirit and walk in the power of the Spirit and learn to be bold witnesses for Jesus. The gospel is really simplistic, so much so that Jesus said referring to children, “ For the Kingdom Of God belongs to such as these.”
I had a dream one time that I was on a bus and outside there was evidence of storms all around. There was debris everywhere. I was telling someone that I used to be a nurse but now I had a school for the young. I believe it’s a God thing but I don’t know how to get there but I believe even in the midst of the greatest storms this world has ever encountered that God will prepare a people that will be mighty witnesses for him and that he is especially going to use the children. God bless.
Lydia, I am so amazed at how the Spirit of the LORD rose up in you to write that!! Truth, everything you said. It is frustrating to see watered down messages, but I can feel anointing on some individuals that I pray will light a spark in these sleeping places. I do crave corporate worship, and the Holy Spirit always shows up mightily then. I long for an Acts kind of gathering. As for the five -fold thing-some like to put it in a box-one apostle, one prophet, etc. But I think some are rising up so mightily in their anointing, that one person will be several of those things. For now, I’m finding grace and peace and a song in my heart as I intercede for these lukewarm people. I am so very sorry about your son in law. What you are going through as a parent and grandparent right now must be so difficult. It’s awesome your granddaughter had discernment about that demonic realm. I often have dreams about my deceased parents, and they are comforting. I’ll pray your daughter receives comfort in a God given dream about her late hubby. Many years ago, I lost my boyfriend in an accident in which I survived. I was not yet saved, and had that fleshly longing for him to show up also. Thank the LORD that He protected me from that happening, even while I was yet in darkness. Losing a loved one unexpectedly is an unfathomable trauma, and the ripple effect on extended family isn’t easy. I’ll keep you in my heart and prayers. I have no idea why, besides that you are a jewel, why you are always on my heart Philippians 1:3 I thank my God on every remembrance of you. . ❤️❌⭕️Shalom, Sweet Sister
Rick Joyner mentioned about children being prominent in the coming Great Harvest. He saw them even placing their hands on a hospital and everyone being healed. (I can imagine great persecution from those involved with the hospital as many would lose their income by the instant lack of work).
Praise the Lord God Almighty! He is so worthy!
I’m new to this group but the Lord led me to this site. What an encouraging word!! I’ve had many dreams concerning children so this word really excites me!! My two year old grandson is already a such a worshipper. So exciting to see. Thank you for this word ABBA 🙂
What I’m prompted to share is the following post for the USA
8-11-19 ~ WORD From the LORD: “Amos Chapter 2 is Where Your Country is At” – BelieveActs2HARVEST
https://believeacts2harvest.wordpress.com/2019/08/11/8-11-19-word-from-the-lord-amos-chapter-2-is-where-your-country-is-at/
Absolutely true statement, “Things will not be as they have been.”
We’ll truly need to wait upon the Lord and follow HIS leading.. .. To be able to fulfil that which we individually have been created to do. We will NOT make it without the presence and leading of Holy Spirit in our life, yielding fully to the Lord, for the darkness is rising and there MUST be oil in our lamps . . . Relationship with Holy Spirit.
The following Scriptures come to mind as we see more of the following increase into 2020, as we continue watching End Times Biblical prophecy unfold:
Sister Linda it just hit me as I read your comment on Math. 24 , it says – Many false prophets will arise ! That means to me that like in the OT , there are more false than true prophets , knowing this what should our response be to prophecy . Caution about believing anyone till proven , much prayer and prophesies must line up with the Word and it must be confirmed by two 0r three more witnesses . I have never seen anyone do a study of who is a false prophet and the Word says there will be – many – of them , this should make us very cautious of who we believe . Blessings
Howdy John,
The Scriptural reference that was highlighted by Holy Spirit, when I read your comment is this one:
Ezekiel 22:28 ~ “Her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.”
Also, let’s go into “logic mode” for a moment and really think about what and why the LORD said what He said in the following Scriptures:
1 Chronicles 16:21-22 ~ “21He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf: 22‘Do not touch My anointed ones; do no harm to My prophets.’”
Let’s ask ourself: “Why would there be this warning, especially to ‘do no harm to My prophets.'”, if what is being stated as a “prophecy”, is something most want to hear? (E.g., “pillow prophets”) . . .
AND . . . Look at the Biblical evidence of the true prophets of God, who were hated like Jeremiah? He warned his nation of what was to come and was despised for it. When it came, he was STILL despised for it. He told the TRUTH.
Ok, now let’s continue in “logic mode”, shall we? Let’s look at Luke 6:26 ~ “Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.”
There is a descriptor sign of a false prophet look for right there. . . “When everyone speaks well of you”
Uh oh . . . . What would that look like in these modern times?
Likely you’ll see the Luke 6:26 “prophets” sought out for their “positive prophecies” . . . They’ll be in the forefront of the “well-known” prophetic magazines, shows and groups. They’ll possibly have books and/or, CDs and enjoy the praises of men on the “messages”. You likely will NOT hear messages of “REPENT”. Or “Judgement is coming” or “Get your spiritual house in order”.
James Bailey did an excellent article a while back addressing the issue of “False Prophets”.
Here’s the link: https://z3news.com/w/rules-radicals/
Here’s an excerpt from that article that helps bring some understanding of what to look for when trying to discern a “false prophet” from a true prophet of the LORD:
This is so true Linda. I ran across a you tube video awhile back that was done by the daughter of a deceased well known prophet. She was speaking about another man of God very well known who had passed away and she said something that got my attention. She said how much this person was loved by everyone even unbelievers, no one ever had anything bad to say about him. It was as if the Holy Spirit had me focus on that. As if he was saying, “ Now according to my word, what does that say about that particular person.” Well I couldn’t deny what God’s Word said.
“Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how there ancestors treated false prophets.”
All of this is an excellent reminder for each of us to have Holy Spirit test our hearts and show us any area unpleasing to Him, so we can stay on the straight and narrow path of 100% truth. Repenting where we need to repent. . . Forgiving all we need to forgive. The moment we think we’re “popular” is the moment we better run to the Lord for His examination because something isn’t right.
On the other hand, we always need Holy Spirit to examine us and help us stay on the straight nd narrow path of truth. Are we “unpopular” because we are “snarky”? Well, that’s not acceptable either.
The following Scriptures come to mind:
Woo wee. . . Not an easy road to walk, but praise God, HE helps along the way. \o/
Dear John and Linda,
With regard to the subject of “false prophets,” I have dealt on and off with a nagging issue. And this is the issue: When the Lord tells us in Matthew 7:20 that we will recognize false prophets by their fruit, what is that fruit? Is it the fruit of prophetic accuracy or is it actually the fruit of the Spirit? Or is it something else?
Greetings Sujit,
Some Biblical prophecies haven’t been fulfilled yet, but we can look at the character of the Biblical prophets of the Lord, vs. The false prophets. Which group called people back to the Lord, calling out “Repent” and which group spoke their versions of “all is well”.
It would have to be the fruit of the Spirit (which is th character of Christ . . . Did Jesus call for repentance? Did Jesus warn of the last days where there would be great tribulation? Did Jesus call for Holiness and righteousness. . . Laying down ones life. . . Not storing up things of this world which will pass away? Was Jesus rejected by the Sadducees and Pharisees . . .the religious and spiritually blind of His day? Who seems more like Jesus? Those who “prophecy” what most like to hear and give accolades to that group . . .or those who warn of judgements for rebelling against the Most High, calling for repentance and turning back to the Lord, while being despised for speaking the truth?
The following Scriptures also stood out to me when reflecting on your question:
So, is a person exhibiting goodness, righteousness and telling the truth”?
That’s why it’s important for ALL of us to take prophecies to the Lord in prayer for confirmation. Holy Spirit will confirm/reveal ALL truth. . . Is what that person sharing the truth?
If it’s not fully true, then it’s a lie. Partial truth is still a lie . . Just like we can’t be partially following Jesus or we really aren’t following Him, but our idea of Him.
However, a person can be hearing true Words from the Lord, but puts his/her “spin” on it, causing mixture to come in. That’s why it’s again important for ALL of us to take these things to the Lord in prayer. After all, anybody who claims to be a Christian, should also be able to hear from the Lord for him/herself, according to Jesus.
John 10:27 ~ “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.”
Thank you, dear Linda, for the detailed reply. I agree with your assessment that the fruit the Lord is talking about in Matthew 7:20 is the fruit of the Spirit and that it reflects His nature and character.
You’re welcome, little brother.
Blessings
2 Chronicles 18:18-22
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing on his right and on his left. And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’
“One suggested this, and another that. Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’
“‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.
“‘I will go and be a DECEIVING spirit in the mouths of all his PROPHETS,’ he said.“‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’
“So now the Lord has put a DECEIVING spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
Perhaps the LORD allows these DECEIVING PROPHETS to speak in order to test us. Are we listening to the LORD or only to prophets?
In a similar vein:
Deuteronomy13:1-3 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” you must NOT LISTEN to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is TESTING YOU to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.
It is great to hear an encouraging word.
