2011 and Beyond: 

The Year of the Faith Force  

Driven by Love!

In the midst of turbulence, there is going to be a "faith force driven by love" that will consume the lovers of Jesus at this hour. Revivals of the past have always been first marked by men and women who considered their reputations to be crucified with the Lord and rose up with undying love for their generation.

"Turbulence Stop!"

Recently, I was on a flight back from Wales to America. On the flight we began to experience dreadful turbulence. People were scared. Everyone's drinks were shaking, people were looking around, concerned, and the pilot came on the intercom with an alarmed tone, "Everyone be seated now and fasten your seat belts." The stewardesses ran the carts to the back of the plane to brace for safety.

I was immersed in the glory of God, listening to worship on my iPod, when a faith came on me driven by love. I actually looked over at my friend Charles Shamp, who woke up from the turbulence, and I said to him, "We are entering into the Shalom of God," in a sort of inebriated certainty, while the plane was violently shaking. He laughed! All of the sudden in front of 300 passengers who could hear me, I screamed, "Turbulence stop! THANK YOU!"

People at first laughed at me thinking I was a nut case, but then an awe-filled silence filled the plane as the winds immediately stopped and there was no more turbulence for the entire flight for hours. I gave glory to God on that flight as people could hear me testifying about the power of Jesus that stopped the winds after we landed.

The Lord put it on my heart that the lovers of Jesus consumed by God's presence will dictate the times and season we are living in now. The very "winds of fear" that bind nations to living the typical life, will have to bow to the "love force winds" coming on God's people in this hour. Only vain religion can stand in the way of an individual's full surrender to these winds of change.

Faith Force Driven by Love

Oftentimes, even in powerful ministries and churches, men mask behind traditions of men and the spirit of religion, building empires to themselves without the help of the Holy Spirit. Subsequently, outside of those walls are dying souls who feel drawn to the supernatural in media and music, drugs and alcoholism, as there is no perception in their mind of a "love force" blowing in these empires that can be their greatest addiction. Many have not made Christ relevant to this post-modern society. Fortunately, a love war is here and the ones who choose full Holy Spirit possession, combined with character and integrity, will turn the tides and bring change to society, drug culture, media and more.

God's Spirit is going to come and overshadow a Church in limbo between politics or total surrender to triumphant peace and unknown joy in God in His all consuming fire of love. The spirit of religion is being dealt with. We must begin to understand that oftentimes God will move not because of our theology but in spite of it. In fact, many of the early Church saints, even before they had access to the apostle's doctrine, were known to have been consumed in the book of the Canticle of Canticles, or as we know it today, the Song of Solomon. It was like their Bible, because it dawned on them that this was an entire book prophetically written about the Bridegroom's intimate love for His Bride!

Many of these early Church saints walked in such supernatural power and changed the world, while at the same time were fiercely persecuted. Felt persecuted lately? Here comes a time of God's favor on His Church, as a faith force is arising driven by love. Every seed you have planted in the last ten years is about to be reaped in Harvest Glory this decade, along with a justice move of God that will surprise us all! But to find God's justice, there must first be faith that refuses to give up. A Church of the Word and Spirit is arising and believing!

Lovers in the House of God

Jesus closed the parable of the unjust judge in Luke 18:8, saying, "I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

God will move in these days in cities not because of good deeds, but in spite of them. Why? Faith is arising in the Body. Lovers who will transform society are drinking in the house of God's wine. In Song of Solomon 2:4, the literal translation appears, "He brought me into his house of wine and his banner over me is love."

The Message translation of Ephesians 3:14-19 says, "My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all Heaven and earth. I ask Him to strengthen you by His Spirit-not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength-that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite Him in. And I ask Him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you'll be able to take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God."

Christianity is about to explode out of the textbooks! It is no longer going to be a theory, an ideology, and it won't be a humanistic morality club. Jesus is coming back for lovers. It is time for, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!"

Father, thank You for letting a contagious explosive supernatural love revolution arise in the Body that will not be predicated, not directed, not assisted, not prepared by any ministerial effort.

When the glory of God shows up, man's efforts to produce revival will be trumped by God's glory that will bring about the restoration of all things before Christ's triumphant return. The cloud is coming into the house of God. Now it will be time for the saints to let Jesus out. Many already think we are crazy anyway, so we might as well let Him out to all cultures in love. If we can embrace what Jesus said, "If they persecuted Me they will also persecute you," we will do fine at this hour.

Also remember, holiness is not a bunch of folks that can pridefully claim they have achieved holiness like it is some Christian elite status like the Pharisees of old, but it will be simply a Body of Believers who celebrate the finished works of Christ's Cross on Calvary. They will manifest what they believe and will fill the earth with the glory of God through the force of faith driven by love.

Weymouth New Testament: "He who believes in Me, from within him - as the Scripture has said - rivers of living water shall flow" (John 7:38).

Don't wait for the Heavens to rent over your church or town, let them out from within you. Yes, Lord, and amen!
