Prophetic Network Indestructible

The New Apostolic Move Protected by Prophetic Network

There has been a lot of talk of the new move. Go to any prophetic site you will, and you are going to find some teaching or some something on ‘The New Move’. Everybody is speaking about the church of the future, the mega church, what the church is going to look like. They are building these pictures. They are building up their expectations. And you sit back and you think, "Wow, it’s going to be something incredible. It’s going to be something out of this world. "Then you sit and think, "What does that mean to me? What does the prophetic network have to do with it?"

What does it mean to you? You stand today in the office or ministry of prophet, and I want you to ask yourself right now, "What does all that mean to me?

The little Joe, little prophet sitting at home getting his little revelations. Maybe if you are really lucky you get to stand up in church and give a word or two. There is a big step for you. What does the new move mean to you – the mega church, the church of the future?

Well today, I am going to show and encourage you to be part of a prophetic network that is indestructible. I am going to change your mindset. I am going to change the way you see yourself as a leader in the Body of Christ. I am going to shock you, I am going to shake you, I am going to change your mind so upside down, your past thinking is not going to make sense anymore. Because now is the time for change.

You have been walked over, you have been down-trodden, and you have been told to keep your place; to not stand in rebellion. I want to tell you that now is the time to stop being quiet. Now has come the time for the prophets of God to rise up and say what needs to be said.

As I looked to the Lord for this passion that He has burned into me for the prophets and prophetic network of God, He gave me the most awesome revelation of Nehemiah and how he came and gathered all the people to build the walls. And I saw this as the perfect illustration of the Prophetic Network.strong>

Prophet Network Birthed It

The prophets are set to birth the new move together as a prophetic network! You have been sitting in your lounge, in your little church hall, in your intercessory group as a little prayer warrior and a little nobody sitting in the background, birthing and speaking forth, praying and crying out to the Lord for the new move.

You have been saying, "Lord, make Your bride as You have wanted her to be. Lord, change the foundation, change the church. Bring renewal, bring revival. Lord, raise up men and women of God who are going to bring about the change that You want in the earth."

You have sought Him and you have spoken this force. And so you, prophet of God, in your little self, birthed this new move. You were the forerunner of this great new move that suddenly everybody has woken up to. What you have been looking to the Lord for years now, that suddenly everybody has the great revelation about, you have been birthing up until now.

Now everywhere you look apostles are rising up here, there, everywhere. A year ago you did not even know what an apostle was. Now, there are apostles everywhere. Every Tim, Sheila and Harry has been called an apostle. You birthed that, prophet of God. But your job is not over.

Now is the time to step in the forefront yet again and to protect the new move. Its time for the Prophetic Network to stand up. As a prophet you have birthed it and you were the forerunner, seeing ahead what God was going to do in the Body. Now, as you see this plan coming to fruition, as you see the birth pains and you see the little child of this plan starting to grow, it is your responsibility as a prophet to protect this new move.

Prophetic Network Illustration from Nehemiah

So I would like to look at Nehemiah as an illustration of building the walls of protection around the new move that is about to take place in the Body of Christ. Nehemiah 7:3:

I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors and bar them; and appoint watchers of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone on his watch and everyone be over and against his house." Now the city was large and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not yet built.

Before the apostles can begin to build and bring to fruition the work that the Lord has set in motion, we as prophets need to unite as a prophetic network and build walls of protection around it. You cannot bring the sheep into the fold until the fold is secure. They need to come into a place where they will be safe, where they will be free from harm, where the enemy cannot get in and attack. We need to be more than watchmen now. We need to be more than foreseeing what is happening. We need to raise up arms and be warriors, and we need to pick up our tools and be workers. Instead of sitting in the background, it is time for the prophets of God to now be forerunners and be ahead of this move, to protect and activate it.

So what happened? Nehemiah had the vision and it burned in him.

He came to the people and he said, "Guys, have you seen what these walls look like? They’re a mess, they’re burnt down, they’re rubble. There’s no protection for the Temple. We need to get together and make something happen here.

"So he gathered all the people and as he did this, the Scripture says that, ‘their hearts were set to work.’ They meant business, these people. They were not coming to have a party. They were not coming to have a Glory Hallelujah. They meant business. They saw the vision, they caught the vision, and they wanted to act on the vision. But they had to come together first.

One man cannot build a wall on his own. Neither can a single prophet build a prophetic network. Nehemiah could have tried. It may have taken him 52 years instead of 52 days. It needed to a unity effort; a group of people coming in the same mind, in the same spirit, in the same purpose. And as they united their hearts, as they united their passion and their vision, something started to happen. Miracles started to take place. That wall was built in 52 days.

Take Responsibility in the Prophetic Network

So what is our responsibility as we look now into the church 2000? As a prophet, what is your responsibility in this prophetic network? In Nehemiah 2:17 it says:

Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and the gates of it are burned with fire. And let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that there may be no more reproach.

You need to take a good look around you. You need to take a good look at the system. You need to take a good look at the people who are getting hurt and trampled on. You need to take a good look at the faults and the errors and the stubble that people are having to live in.

And if you will do that, take all your list of complaints about the church that you have on your little list, and look at it and say, "I am responsible for this. I, as a prophet, am responsible for this mess."

"What? I didn’t make this mess. It’s the pastors. It’s the leaders of the church. They are the ones that missed it. They’re the ones that built up the mess. They are the ones that have put the system over the people. "No, as a prophet of God you are placed as a leader in the Body of Christ. Prophet of God, you are a leader in the Body of Christ.

So next time you open your mouth and you say, "It’s the fault of the leaders that this church is in a mess," realize that you are a leader. So when you say those words, realize that you are looking at your own beam. If the Body of Christ is a mess, it is your fault. God holds you responsible. Given to the church were apostles, prophets and teachers. When He looks at His bride and sees that she is not ready, do you honestly think that He is going to go to the bride and say, "Why aren’t you ready?

It is not up to the bride to perfect herself. It is up to the leaders of Christ to mature and perfect the bride. Are you sitting and complaining about the state of the church, or are you doing something about it?

It is time, prophet of God, that we stop wallowing and wining and complaining about the mess, and getting in there and fixing it up. It is time to stop being complacent, to being satisfied with the rubble and stumbling over the burnt bricks, and to pick up a trowel and a sword, and to rebuild it.

Be an Example in a Prophetic Network.

You need to stand as an example. I love using the illustration of a father and parent of a child. How does a child learn, especially when they are really young like 2 and 3 years old? How does a child understand principles, morals, code of living? Do you pump it into their heads with knowledge? No you do not. A child learns by example.

Now I need to ask you. If you, as a prophet, cannot stand in unity with the other prophets of God around the world in a prophetic network, how do you expect the Body of Christ to suddenly unite with one another and have peace reign, and let everything be hunky dory?

Before the Body of Christ can start uniting, and before all those great dreams can happen of you have of breaking down the walls, you need to stand as an example, because the Body will follow after the example of its leaders, will it not?

Remove Personal Barriers for Prophetic Network to function

I do not care what the denomination of so-and-so next to is. Do you want to know the best thing about this illustration? If you read through everybody who helped build the walls, you had perfumers building next to goldsmiths, who were building next to merchants, who were building next to Levites. What a merchant and a Levite have in common, the Lord alone knows. They were building next to officials, building next to nobles, building next to the lowest form of life right up.

I do not care who the guy next to you is, what his denomination is, what his stand is. If he is standing with a pure heart before God, and if he is indeed a prophet of God standing and wanting to see the church move forward, you should be pulling him up and building with him in this prophetic network. We have to put aside our preconceived ideas, our walls, our insecurities, our fears and accusations, and we have to stand as one. We have to unite our hearts before we can protect what God is doing as a united prophetic network.

Prophetic Network Prepares for War

You need to be prepared for war as you stand with your brothers to build this protection as a prophetic network. You need to be prepared, because you know what? Some people are not going to take it too lightly. I am sure you have already experienced some of that. Some people are not going to like it. They do not like this idea of prophets shouting their mouths off for a start, and least of all, the Devil. He is going to throw every single thing that he can at you.

The minute you stand up and declare, "Thus saith the Lord … we need to change, we need the power of God in this place," the first thing he is going to do is throw the system at you and try and squash you like a bug. That is why you need the unity of the prophetic network. You need other prophets of God to stand with you and encourage you, and to be your backing when you face that onslaught.

Opposition to Prophetic Network

Even amongst those that were to build the walls, there was a section that did not join. In Nehemiah 3:5 it says:

But their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord.

Do you want to know why the nobles did not put their necks to the work of the Lord? It is because all the surrounding nobles in the area were threatening them. They were afraid they would lose their money, their land, their position, and their clout in the area. They knew if they sided with these wacko’s building the wall, that they were going to get thrown out, and they feared their lives and their possessions.

So they said, "Forget it. It’s just not worth the cost to us."

Not Just Words

There will be those who will not want to unite. There will be those that will be too afraid to stand up and be counted. So now, I need to ask you. Which are you? Look at your life right now where you are in your call. Do you have the guts that you are always mouthing off about? Do you have the action behind your words?

You are a prophet. You have lots to say. Prophets, trust me on this one, have lots to say. Are you prepared to put a bit of guts behind those words, prophet? Well now is your time to show it. Now is your time to mean business with the prophetic network.

Make the Choice for the Prophetic Network

Do you have the conviction to stand up for those words now? Because up until now you have been told to keep quiet. No more! Now is the time to say what needs to be said, and do what needs to be done.

This is your call to action. Which side are you going to stand on? Choose now, because time is running out. You do not have time to play-play prophet anymore. Let’s not act like prophets. Let’s not speak like prophets. Let’s BE prophets.

Be part of the prophetic network indestructible that God is raising up right now. Join your hands with your brothers and sisters, your fellow prophets in God, and stand and say, "Now I am counted. Yes, I am counted, Lord. I stand accountable before the most high God. And nothing is going to stop me now.

Prophetic Network Troublemakers

You have to stand firm and set your face as a flint, and you are going to say what needs to be said, because it needs to be said. The Body of Christ needs to hear what you have to say. They need to see where the flaws are in the foundation. They need to open their eyes to the hundreds of hurt and bleeding sheep who have been kicked and left on the side of the road to bleed.

They need to see them. But you see, it is hidden from them. It is all prettied over with programs and nice praise and worship, and everything that is so well structured. They do not see the hurt and pain the lives of others. It is your responsibility to open their eyes to that.

And I do not care if you are called a troublemaker. Nehemiah was called a troublemaker. Ezra was called a troublemaker. All of the greats were called troublemakers. Half of them were nearly killed for it.

Now is the time for the Body of Christ to rise up out of slumber and be the magnificent bride that she is ordained to be. And before she can be that magnificent bride, you are going to have to take your stand to make her that magnificent bride.

Prophetic Network Purpose: Prophets Judge Prophecy

I know a lot of you are thinking, "Well, what if you have these prophets standing up, and prophesying the biggest load of garbage? Who’s going to judge the prophecy?"

Who judges what the prophets are going to stand up and say? Who is going to judge what you have to say? Well, what does the Word say? Who judges the prophets?

Who draws the line and says, "Okay, prophets, you’re in order. You’re out of order."Well, if I take a good look through the Acts and a couple of the Gospels, I found a good one in 1 Corinthians 14:32. It said:

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

If you read a little higher up in this passage, you will see how Paul says, "Let him bring two or three words, and let the other prophets judge them." So then, who judges the prophets? The prophets judge the prophets. Why do the prophets judge the prophets? Because the prophets have the gift of discerning of spirits that will be able to tell whether he is in Spirit, or out of Spirit. Prophets should have knowledge of the Word to be able to judge that Word by the Word of God.

Just in case you did not know, the pastor, according to the Word, is not the one to judge prophecy.

"Oh my goodness, heresy!"

No, it is the Word of God. The prophets judge the prophets. If you will stand as one with the other prophets of God as a prophetic network, if you bring your words to them, they will judge it.

And once they have judged it and said, "This, we believe, is the Word of the Lord," you can stand up and declare that from the rooftops, and heaven help any person who does not obey the voice of that word. Because it says in Isaiah that the watchman stands on the walls and he declares and tells the people, "Hey, the enemy’s coming." But if they do not listen to him, the blood is not on his hands, but their own.

Once you have a word that has been confirmed by the prophets, you stand up and shout that word from the rooftops. And if they will not listen, their blood is upon their own head, but you have fulfilled the will of the Lord.

Protect One Another in Prophetic Network

We need stand as protection for one another in this prophetic network, and this is so important. Everybody is busy and off on their own tangent and their own problems. It is time we stand back to back and be a protection for one another. But you see, we are standing on the wall so far apart that the Devil is just taking pot shots there.

That is what the Devil is doing. He is popping them off left, right and center. He is destroying them with rejection, with accusation, with words that are condemning them; that are pushing them off the wall; that are pushing them into the ground so that the prophet does not even want to get up and try again.

We need to stand together and protect one another. It says in Nehemiah that he had a trumpeter next to him at all times, and if at any time there was an attack while they were working, the trumpeter would blow. And they had a defined place that everybody would gather to this one area armed, ready to fight.

Imagine getting a couple of thousand prophets together in one spirit? You talk about unity, authority, a thousand prophetic keys all turning at the same time. Power! We will shake the gates of hell and we will raise the Body of Christ up so quickly it will be spinning. But we need to unite our hearts, and we need to unite them in love.

Prophetic Network must Kick Satan Out

Now is the time to join arms and take up your weapons, and have a good Devil-bashing. I am really keen on this idea. I am really excited. I am going ahead, and if you would like to join me, please do, but I am going straight into that enemy’s camp, and I am going to take back every child of God that has been oppressed by him. I am going to kick him for every sheep that he has stolen. I am going to kick him again for every sheep that he has hurt and kicked and injured, and bound by his lies and by his fear. I am going to kick him for everyone.

If you want to join me, then come along. Be part of the prophetic network. And if you don’t, then you can sit by and see the meek pass you. You can sit by and miss the time of your visitation.

Will you join me now, as we unite our forces and come against the enemy of this world; unite our forces, and stand and be a shining beacon for the Body of Christ, that their eyes may be opened; that their ears may be opened; that they may see the truth; that they may know the truth. And that they may rise up in power themselves and say, "We have had enough. We are going to do something about this."

That is your aim, prophet of God, to raise up the Body of Christ, that is right now a sleeping giant. Will you take your stand now in the Prophetic Network?

This is the day you choose to be part of the Prophetic Network Indestructible.

You can be at home with a network of prophets at AMI Prophetic School.
