This is why when we make scriptural declarations

we see so much happen in people's lives.

When we declare scriptural truth,

even if that truth is not yet reality for us,

we begin to see movement

from our broken reality

into God's reality.

The incarnation is everything.

Jesus came into a broken world

and said

I am salvation

I am God with you.

I am close

and I can bring the life and love of God

into your broken reality

and bring salvation.

That word salvation

means healing, wholeness, shalom,

transformation and blessing.

And so we declare salvation over situations.

What do you do when the fulfilment comes and it is not what you expected? There is a back side to the forerunner calling and we need to talk about it.

God is fulfilling promises right now in our community, and it is important to understand a core piece of God's fulfillment. Most people miss the day of their visitation and the day of the fulfillment because they are expecting one thing and God does another. God fulfills the word and the promise but it does not look like what we expected. And when this happens people either get disappointed or offended.

In Scripture there is really only one forerunner, John the Baptist.

His message can be broken down into four parts:

1.Prepare the Way for the coming of the Lord.

2. Change your thinking.

3. Produce works that show you have changed.

4. He must increase and I must decrease: when he comes turn to him and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

The prophetic word is the end from the beginning. If God gives you a word, He is telling you how things are going to work out. It is designed to give you prophetic hope. Hope keeps you going.

A lot of people live in what is or what was.

They live in what their eyes tell them about now, or the illusion of their experience in the past. And out of this, they get trapped in a poverty mindset with no possibilities or options.

The Lord lives in what is and what will be.

We are not living in ordinary times, but rather, a great time of shifting and transition. I have been going over the words we received on our listening day. I want to end this teaching today with a few practical thoughts for all of us going forward, but before I do that, let's talk about some big thoughts.

I was asked a few days ago about the glory and how we carry the glory. And this related to something Bob Jones said before he died, that the glory of God was going to return to the church, and that the glory would accompany the great "end time" billion soul harvest, this harvest the described as the "House.

Related to this is the opposition those who are called to carry the glory would face. This opposition is described in Revelation as the "Harlot."

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God and the only way to God, that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. That on the cross you were made a curse with every curse that is due to me, that I might be redeemed from the curse and enter into the blessing.

Lord, I confess any sins committed by me or by my ancestors. I ask your forgiveness. I also forgive every other person whoever harmed me or wronged me. I forgive them as I would have God forgive me. I also forgive myself. I renounce all contact with the occult in any form and I commit myself to get rid of any 'contact objects.'

And now Lord, having received by faith your

forgiveness, with the authority I have as a child of God, I now release myself and those under my authority from any curse over our lives. Right now, in the name of Jesus, I declare release. I claim it and I receive it by faith. In the name of Jesus.

The most powerful thing you can do

in spiritual warfare is to look at Jesus.

And as you ignore the demonic

that is feeding on your attention

and your rebellion,

the demonic realm begins to get starved

for attention

and just goes away.

The most powerful thing you can do

is not lose the plot.

This is humility.

When I began our series on spiritual warfare for artists,

I stated that everything we do in discipleship is spiritual war.

Your life of prayer,

your practice of listening to God,

your choice to do what God asks of you,

and your regular rhythm as an artist and creative person

is just like the daily physical training of a marine.
