John Mark Pool:
2011 is the Year of Prophetic Transformation and Our Inheritance!
Your Inheritance is Immense!
This is the beginning of many words that will begin to come forth concerning what the Lord has shown me that
"2011 will be the Year of the Prophet!" You may take words this year and
prophesy them into existence for Kingdom wealth transformation in 2011 and beyond!
And for this cause He is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.—Hebrews 9:15 KJV
2011 is also a year to experience New Revelation! As the Lord gave me revelations for 2011, I had accompanying visions of the treasures of God's Kingdom, and you will surely want to read on!
I was traveling in the Holy Land and walked up to the church at Ephesus and the church of Saint John in our recent travels. As I felt the Lord dealing with me, I paused and looked out at the expanse of the coastal region in which we had just arrived by ship. Just as I glanced out at the expanse, the Lord showed me immeasurable amounts of golden coins flowing down from above and landing all around this area. It was such a treasure, and also included were many precious stones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and so many others that my heart beat with excitement. I glanced and then saw all the ruins again as stones and yesteryear's history of these churches.
My heart yet pounded with what this meant, and I heard the Lord tell me,
"The anointing of the sacrifices made from My servants like John and Paul are pulling out of Heaven the earthly abundance that will be for an everlasting memorial in My Kingdom!" I felt the hardships, such as shipwrecks, hunger, beatings, exhaustion and constant intimidations, hurled at their calling to establish this powerful Church and continuing witness for all of Christianity. God said to me clearly,
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
I felt tears running down my face as I pondered the resistance from all the forces of evil not wanting the beachhead of God's truth to establish a foundation where others would be transformed in spirit, soul and mind. The Father kept assuring me that the anointing, the deposits of lives through their blood sown in this labor, are never-stopping; the eternal Kingdom treasures will only increase. I put a small pebble from the road in my hand and felt it was more valuable at that moment than any wealth this world could offer!
This was what our Father said about the treasures of this earth: they will only decay, rust and get moth-eaten, but His eternal jewels are from everlasting to everlasting. It seemed lifeless to think at that moment of more "stuff" that we do not need in contrast of the value this Church at Ephesus had upon the Kingdom of God.
Upon further investigation of history, I read that the Church at Ephesus established by Paul was essential in the region because this was also the capital of all pagan worship to the goddess Diana. Paul realized that the vast area of Asia Minor had to legally travel to Ephesus to make sacrifices annually to the heathen gods that dominated this land, therefore even the merchants, who only pretended to worship the goddess Diana, were very adamantly opposed to Paul's new form of "foreign worship of an unknown" God through a resurrected Jesus Christ.
This was a great challenge to have in the headquarters of the pagan gods, both spiritually and financially, for Ephesus. This was not only a risk for their adherents of pagan worship, it was a direct danger to the local government for many to be swayed into freedom of worship of an eternal Savior that did not require paying local alms to the sacrifices of their pagan gods. It was also a huge, impending hazard to the area government's financial structure. This made the entire message change its overall value, as well as the tremendous tenacity to establish the Church and God's Kingdom in Asia Minor – when you are completely unwanted!
But, where we stood, the Word of God is still being preached in that region today. People are still hearing
daily the Word of God, the message crying forward from Apostle Paul, disciples such as John and Mark and others, declaring,
The value of the Kingdom of God is everlasting!
We who are in Christ Jesus are the very family of God with an eternal inheritance that begins when we say "yes" to Jesus Christ as Lord of our life!
Decree Your Kingdom Increase!
2011 will be a year of "re-ordering" for the Kingdom of God!
Have you ever prophesied, preached, decreed and stayed only to find your fruit seems dead? Do NOT give up, but decree your transformation begin now! God is taking what the enemy hopes as "disorder," and in 2011 is changing it into Deliverance Orders! Begin now to prophesy and decree your disorder is transformed into your New Deliverance Orders! Become re-structured by God's prophetic transformation orders! When the Word begins to turn things around, do not think it strange that you will have to "war" with your re-ordering Words to see them birthed into manifestations of completeness and deliverance from the enemy's plans to rob, kill, and destroy your inheritance!
Decree your Kingdom increase now!
Remember when the major prophet Elisha prophesied a new son for the lady who had made a room for the prophet? He was inspired to give the woman a word, which produced to the barren invaluable fruit. Yet just as her son reached the time to grow up as an adult and further his ministry calling (this was indeed at harvest season), then the enemy attacked her in the most valuable place – the heir to her inheritance; her family progenitor was now dead.
Have you ever had someone ask you, "What do we do now after our promise you prophesied has died?" It makes this prophetic calling become more understandable than just being a dispenser of words to others! I so appreciate the faith and the character of the prophet to go on with the Shunammite woman to literally take ownership of this valuable prophetic promise.
Elisha taught us, then and now, we must know we have heard from God and teach others that the eternal value of our inheritance is certainly worth fighting for!
We must indeed notice this was more than just the giving of a "prophetic word" and moving onward; this was warring with the establishment of the Kingdom of God over the kingdoms of this world! This lady knew her source was a "Man of God" and not afraid of the conflict that lay on his bed. The prophet knew that God gave him the word, because the family's inheritance was now twelve years old and continuing to witness the value of God's eternal inheritance prophesied in the natural environment.
Thank God Elisha had the calling, the background of steadfast obedience, to learn from Elijah along with the determination to focus upon the mantle of the double portion that would not fail him in this satanic conflict. God was simply demonstrating to the Shunammite woman and the region that when God established this Kingdom with one Word, it was offered to His servants the prophets to continue this Kingdom by decreeing things that be not as though they were!
This is a message of the tenacity of God's Called to demonstrate that this calling is not for the faint of heart yet is for those who will indeed fellowship with the cup of suffering as well as the treasures of blessings! When we listen to hear, to sow, to remain steadfast, we can be the message of God's Kingdom, no matter the location, the circumstance, the difficulty or the occasion. God wants us to press into Him to become His Word to those who will be changed into the everlasting treasure.
Yes, our real treasure is not made with man's hands, but it is the eternal relationship with the Father.
The Father will openly reward those who diligently seek and obey Him by setting them over nations and kingdoms in the everlasting Kingdom of God, forever and ever to rule and reign with our Lord on high!
Seek First God's Kingdom and Share the Treasures Now!
But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.—Matthew 6:33 KJV
Now, is it important to seek the Kingdom of God first? I believe this word is a clarion call to bring the Body of Christ back to the basic values of where we place our hearts as to the treasures we will demonstrate to others. As Christians, who are also the very heirs of the throne of God's blessings, we must display to the lost our heart's desire for the correct value of treasures while upon earth. Our examples come from Elisha, John and Paul, who told us not only to follow God and speak His Word but also to share with our families and the lost the eternal inheritance of God's Kingdom.
Hear these words from Apostle Paul:
"We also pray that you will be strengthened with His glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light" (
Colossians 1:11-12 NLT).
God is our Creator of all that is created, and for those who know Him as Father, He has laid up eternal treasures as His inheritance for His family!
Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner's wealth passes to the godly.—Proverbs 13:22 NLT
You may not have much earthly treasure to pass along in this life to your family, yet God tells us to lay up treasures of eternal value that nothing can destroy! What a blessing to have such a legacy of Kingdom wealth for our children's children!
What is Valuable to You?
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."—Matthew 6:21
God wants our relationship with Him as our invaluable treasure to be enjoyed now and forever! Relationship with God is everything! We cannot value our eternal abode through comparisons to earthly treasures. God did not want us to view this in the natural but the "SUPERnatural."
God does not want His children, His righteous, forsaken in their needs on earth, or have His "heirs" (seed) begging for bread. When we get the priorities of God's Kingdom alignment adjusted, then the things we need will overtake us as blessings of His inheritance – beginning now. It is in the pursuit of the Father that the demand note is placed upon our inheritance, which we already have, and is afforded us now.
As I have been pondering and waiting upon the Lord, He shared with me that this next calendar year, as well as beginning now in the Hebraic calendar, is a year the Lord will begin to show
His hand of judgment. Do not take this as something in which to be alarmed but as blessings to those who seek Him with their whole heart. As we do, also realize that judgment of God is aligned with His mercies that are new every morning! Looking to the Father should help us bring others to their everlasting inheritance, not lasting judgment.
John 3:19 says,
"Judgment is based upon this fact: The light from Heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil."
However, Jesus came and brought the judgment to sin and resurrection life to us, who can now be the mercy that will always triumph over the judgment! Our mercies are new every morning, and we can indeed display the heart of our Father to those who are in need of being prophetically transformed into heirs of light!
If we seek first the Kingdom of God, not man's ideas of finite fortunes, then all our needs will be met – and abundantly. Our loving Father, who has all the wealth at His disposal, does not want His children living as "mentally or physically poverty-stricken" demonstrations of Kingdom rewards. We do not have to meagerly exist on crumbs, barely getting by, when we are called as the inheritance of the Creator of Heaven and earth! As our hearts are united with the Father's, then we will not only enjoy His abundance in every area, we will also be content with less physically, gaining greater abundance by sharing with others the spiritual treasures that last forever!
That is called "spending our Father's inheritance now!"
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His seed begging bread.—Psalm 37:25 KJV
Vision of Restoration of the Wealth of Family Unity!
Remembering the message of the prodigal son in a parable from the teachings of Jesus (Luke 15:11-32), the son had asked and received of his father the amount of his inheritance early. The father divided it and gave it to the younger son who quickly went out and squandered it on the wrong things of this world that did not bring any rewards or blessings. However, this caused the younger son to come to his senses, thinking that his father's servants now enjoyed more than he did in the pig pen of his life.
Like the older brother and others, human nature would judge the younger son's insolence; it would seem a justifiable reward to crawl back and take a servant's role, while groveling his way back into his father's favor. However, God had us view this not in the humanistic view of justifiable actions with accompanying consequences, but with the eternal view of being lost from the Father and now restored to far more of an eternal inheritance than this earth could offer.
Not long ago, the Lord showed me vividly the "better ending" He desires through us to complete the message from the parable of the prodigal son.
I was pondering on the restoration of the unity of faith in the family of God for the increase of God's Kingdom, when immediately I was in the drama of the prodigal son coming home. I was walking beside him as he came down the lane, and his father was looking intently for him to arrive. As he got closer, the excitement was evident that this father cared for his son more than earthly treasures. He immediately hugged and kissed his long lost son, put on the ring and sandals, and began the feast and celebration of the dead son who is now alive.
I was then taken into the room of the older brother who was brooding and fomenting word curses about this celebration. As the father heard it, he explained that his younger brother was dead and is now alive. He told him that all this earthly wealth of his father was always his, but this relationship of our youngest is now home to enjoy.
I then was taken past what we read in the parable into the spirit realm of what I feel the Lord is saying to us today. In my vision, we were all sitting at the table of the feast, and the younger brother came over and apologized to the older brother and gave him a big hug. The older brother, yet a little reluctant to forgive him, was then relieved when the younger brother assured the older that he never wanted any of his earthly inheritance,
"For now I have truly found – through a very hard lesson – the immense wealth of the eternal reward of our father's relationship and family restored!"
I wept as I came out of this vision, for so many of us indeed have been one of the characters of this parable. No matter if you had been swindled, were the founding father of your family's business, or the "Jacob of the family who faced off with Esau," what matters is that we know the immeasurable riches of the eternal treasure of the Kingdom of God! As the vision ended, let me tell you the ending was a happy one. The older brother began to weep aloud and then also asked for complete forgiveness for building up such unwarranted animosity over earthly "stuff!" Both began to recount times past and joked together as in their youthful days, while the father and family began to cry with joy as the entire family was again restored to better than before!
2011 is Your Year of Prophetic Transformation!
Wow! God does not want to simply "fix up" broken hearts and messed up lives; He came to restore that which was lost from the sin of one man. He came that we indeed might not only have life, but when we say
yes to Jesus Christ, we can begin a new relationship with our heavenly Father now! He says to share with everyone the message of the Good News that your inheritance must be spent now!
OK, so let us start giving away that eternal message and sow eternal treasures into hearts and lives desperate for the endless treasures of everlasting life! Go out and share this treasure with all those God leads you to, and let them know when they ask why you care; you must smilingly let them know you are supposed to be "sharing" or "spending" on them your Father's inheritance now!
