IT IS TIME

The following is further revelation on a "Change of Government" A change of government is always followed by a "Change IN Government".

Progressive revelation.
It has been generally accepted that this century has seen the re-establishment of the Evangelist, the Pastor, the Teacher, and from 1990 to 1996 the Prophet, and from 1996 to 1999 the Apostle.

I have a picture of a stage production with all the cast present - the spot light had fallen on the Evangelist for a time, then moved to the Pastor, then the Teacher, then the Prophet, and then the Apostle - each having the focus or eyes drawn to them. Then - the announcement "There has been of "Change of Government" which immediately caused a change of focus. The spotlight moves and falls upon the Lord Jesus as He takes His place and calls His government into place.

IT IS TIME to sound the "wake up" call, the "come forth" call to ALL the office giftings.
At this time, on the same day, there has been a lining up of the planets,(the gospel in the heavenlies), the day of the feast of trumpets(God speaking through Israel) when the shofars sounded - piercing the darkness with their "Wake Up" call.

IT IS TIME to proclaim to the dead bones of the church, "God will build His church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it..

Ez37. IT IS TIME to prophesy to the bones to come together, bone to bone of apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist - bone to bone, ministry to ministry.

IT IS TIME to prophesy sinews and flesh to grow,
- calling God's people forth from their graves,
- calling them forth from their shadow ministries,
- calling God's government into order, with Jesus as head, enthroned.
- calling forth scriptural order,
- calling the 5fold ministries to come into alignment, bone to bone, much like the skeletal structure of a body, so that sinews and flesh can grow and life be released.

IT IS TIME
It is time to call forth.
It is time to prophesy.
It is time for your training to be put into action.
It is time to lay down your own desires, plans, purposes -
It is time to be one with Me in My times, My purposes, My plans -

Only as you are willing to lay down your training grounds, to let go, to lose your life will you find it afresh.
For I have used these past years to draw you to Myself, to transform you, to change you so that, in your oneness with Me, My church can awaken anew to her destiny.
