Isaiah 61
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted, and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities destroyed long ago. They will revive them, though they have been deserted for many generations”.
There are many who are poor, broken hearted, bound, and captured in Harties.
God is preparing a day of vengeance against the powers and principalities but He needs a people that are prepared to step into this. He has already planted you. The principalities are bound when you step forward and proclaim good news to the poor; simply by your presence, there is vengeance against the enemy. God needs an amen from you.
There’s a shaking coming to Heartlands that is not to separate but to diversify. Certain giftings will come through certain individuals in a stronger and more formidable way, but there will be a greater unity because the diversity in Christ is a thing that is going to unify you.
God is going to take some of you and send you into different contexts and churches, not for you to leave here and go there, but God is going to give you influence there to infiltrate like spies. God is saying prepare to be a governing body for the city. God wants to establish a biblical governance for the city that will happen through a spiritual expression. This means that you will need to proclaim Isaiah 61 over different cultures, in different languages, in different contexts, and through different forms of communication. God has already started speaking to some of you about that, you just don’t know what it looks like.
God is not afraid of diversity, but He does need unity. This means that one person will do things completely differently to another but they will be unified in Christ and through this body. Don’t allow the enemy to lie and say that the body will be separated. God is calling this body to a unity but with different diversities and with different strengths.
For example, someone from this church could partner with someone from another church to bring something of a reformation or restoration to that church, and that church will in partnership start walking with you. God is going to begin merging visions, merging hearts and perhaps even merging churches. God is going to bring a unified vision and governing body over this city and God is going to do something miraculous and divine through you as a church.
God is calling you to be a spearhead that would pierce the heavenlies, and out of that place of piercing the heavenlies, God is going to rend heaven and make a manifestation on earth, where many different churches will walk together and partner together even though they might be very different in nature.
God will give you wisdom, understanding and insight on how to partner with a spirit of reconciliation, to take hands crossing boundaries of culture, denomination and styles. The thing that will open this up will be the mercy heart of God, which God has given to you – to help the poor and broken hearted. The mercy ministry of Heartlands will unlock other things. You will find others that have lost vision for certain expressions that will come to you and God will use the eldership team to restore vision there.
There might be seasons where different elders will serve in different churches but with one unified vision, heart and governance.
Do it Lord.
