PROPHETIC
INSIGHT
THE NEXT WAVE OF HIS SPIRIT
by Nita Johnson
I think we all agree that we are in great need of a wave of revival from above. We want a move of Elohim (God) that will outstrip anything about which we have ever heard or have experienced in the past. That is what He is about to do. Yeshua (Jesus) has spoken to me about some things as He sees them. I would like to share these things with you. I desire to help us all be better prepared for Him when He does come. I believe this is His desire, as well, and that is why He has taken the time to let me in on His thoughts.
When this new and mighty wave of His Spirit does come, it will be a wave that will give to the body glory, strength, authority, supernatural faith, and miracles. But the wave also will make extraordinary demands upon those who will enter into its blessings. I saw written across this wave the words: "martyrs grace." Yeshua told me that any leader who is going to be used in this last-days revival must be baptized into this wave as the first-century church leaders were. Some will give their lives as martyrs, others will suffer various levels of persecution for the sake of Messiah; still others will experience great deliverances from certain death as did the three Hebrew children described in the book of Daniel. Nevertheless, this common bond will unite all who will be used as leaders.
Paul said in his epistle to the Romans that if we desire to share Messiah's glory we must be willing to share His suffering. This certainly will be true in the days ahead. Nevertheless, the emphasis is on the glory, for the sufferings of this time are well accompanied by His abounding and more than sufficient grace, and cannot be compared with the glory about to be revealed in, for, and through us who believe.
I saw in a night vision that only about l/5th to l/6th of the body of Christ will be of any value to the work of the kingdom in this next great move. Those who will not qualify have not made themselves ready by living a holy life, and they refuse to "love not their lives unto death." It brought great sadness to the Lord, for He would have liked to use each memlier of His great kingdom. However, He will use those who have made themselves ready. Even in this remnant He will have a great and notable army.
In a vision, Yeshua told me that there would be 120 top officers worldwide in this great outpouring. They will be apostles and prophets who have been prepared for this great burden. They will be selfless and will bring Yeshua great glory. My dear friend, Bob Jones, once told me that the Lord told him there were seven prophets like him in the earth. Under these seven would be 3000 prophets, then a great many under them. The 3000 will be part of the next category. I thought it was quite interesting that the Church began with 120 who received the martyrs grace in the upper room when the first revival was poured out on the Church, and He is going to do it that way again.
Next will be 144,000 virgins, all with distinct callings and anointings of great measure. These will, like their superiors, be purged of the world. Their sinful nature effectually will be crucified and they will be ready for this great awakening. Their splendid purity will be both astounding and healing to the Church, and they will be wonderful spiritual mothers and fathers, filled with the nurturing grace of the Lord for His people. Each will flow in the supernatural and will walk with our Messiah in such intimacy as would beggar description.
Under these will be the King's sons and daughters, seemingly without number. Then those who will walk on the fringes of this great move will bring up the tail. Through this great Gideons army will flow the greatest outpouring the world has ever seen. We will wonder at the unbelievable power and greatness of our Father above. Great will be the glory, power, and miracles. (I share more extensively about this great move in my book Prepare for the Winds of Change 11)
All that is occurring in our lives right now, both good and difficult, is designed to prepare us for this great move and for the hard times ahead.
