,Called before birth he enters the world at conception.
He is raised by God though he does not know it. His life is protected because of a Heavenly plan to make him a Son. Special angels are his invisible guardians jealous as His Father to preserve his life. Why am I different is the cry deep in his heart as he often travels from one problem to another. Relationships are difficult but loyalty is his value of friendship but also a constant sorrow because he fails. Upon his conversion process he is given great personal Revelation from a God He did not know. Little did he understand one purpose of the intimacy received was to keep him through the things he will suffer. The ability to see into people is only enhanced and clarified. He had this before meeting Him. In the midst of his brothers and sisters, he still feels different. The path is unwelcome, he is yet to know his call and destiny. He is unaware there is the Divine Hand shaping and preparing Him to be God’s voice to the church and beyond. He sees the preacher and knows something is not right. He equates this as himself; ”I must be a rebel.” The man or woman before understanding the purpose of multiple trials and testing is often troubled. Very few know how to mentor him. The religious guess work, pastoring without understanding perplex him. Some even say there must be hidden sin. A fledgling. A stumbling man. A desperate cry inside.”Does no-one understand?” He watches others in the wrong and they seem to prosper while his very thoughts are challenged by an unseen force. He is deeply troubled by his failures. “God could you pick on someone other than me for awhile.” Slowly and painfully he matures. God comes to him periodically and gives revelation. He lives for these infrequent encounters. He realizes he somehow is becoming stronger. An inner maturity emerges. A gift, the fruit of trials and tribulation. In new blessings he says “thanks for not giving up on me.” He hears the Father say, ”thanks for not quitting.” An incredible bond. A life changing relationship rests his soul. Good men much wiser than he proclaim, ”you are a Prophet.” A deeper understanding of the process satisfies him in regard to his difficult walk. The endurance of suffering has resulted in the Fathers trust. Being broken over and over under his own struggles and by leaders and others without understanding has brought forth fruit. Submit and be broken. Submit and be broken. Submit and be broken. Leads to freedom. The word comes. “Some day I will send you to speak to the things you see as wrong. But not today.” The prerequisite of all things. Is to be broken by imperfect leaders but love them regardless. Submit and be broken. God lifts him to the platform before many. Respect is given. He feels he is doing good. There is a problem that crushes him. When not in front doing the prophetic ministry, he feels alone. This too is God’s doing. An invisible impression comes to him saying, what do the people need? Another crucial transformation is coming. The prophet still in the making replies. “To hear your Word of course.” “No” is the confusing answer. “They want to know what some is like who says they talk to me.” The true prophet is broken by these words. He realizes he has become a religious junky. He loves the highs but when the crowd and acclamations are gone, loneliness ensues him. The downer from a high. “I don’t know you very well do I, Lord?” Ministry stops and a new search is embraced. Back to square one. “Who are you? I thought I knew you.” He realizes he needs greater transformation. A deeper understanding. Ministry becomes a distant past. The quest to know Him consumes all desire. He realizes he has been outside God doing His work and now God wants him inside. This is the process of growing from a servant to a Son. He does not count the days to get back to ministry because experiencing eternity with the Father is his passion. It takes time to feel at home as a Son. Past earthly father issues must be healed and overcome. All things must be forgiven to receive the all things of God. A new man emerges. He is a Son! The very angels sing praises to God’s victory in the Prophet. “Today” the Lord says, “I send you forth as My Son, the Prophet. You will bring My presence. My Word will be embedded in you. You will be my Word.” Those who accept you, accept Me. Those who reject you reject Me.” Dan..A Son, A brother, A Prophet.

Hello friends.
God is now working on His leaders. He does not request but demands transparency and honesty. In some ways, I have seen these qualities resident in many of my unsaved friends and yet lacking in us who are leaders. Many leaders hunger for the manifestation of gifts, the visible works of God but fail to realize all things point to the inner life of embracing truth. It is the life of transparency with God and to others the Lord so desires. The people in the world are ready. We have become their "stumbling block". An angel from God is now released. His name is Transparency. To all leaders who want to walk in absolute honesty, he is your friend and you will become a delight to the Father. To those who resist, you will soon experience this angel as one who will disqualify you and your ministry. Only a transparent leader can bring his people to the oneness of heart God so desires. You do not want to find yourselves at odds in this quality which is God himself. All things hidden will be shouted from the rooftops. Better to have nothing hidden. Transparency is now judging every motive, every element you have kept hidden in your soul. We all have unknown areas in our hearts. God knows this and is with you. He will bring these things out to your understanding and give you the courage, to be honest to all. Very quickly the lack of honesty and transparency will disqualify you. In times past for many, God has sent you the clear message that requires you to change but, you would not listen. You should be aware of his severity towards all leaders who taint His name to their church and the world. Perhaps there is one last time He will come to you. To give in, you will have life. To resist Him, you will lose the little bit of life you have. We need you! You are called. Be afraid, you may lose all you have. To the many great men and women who have embraced truth and are light and life to us all, we love you and honour you. DAN Better think about it. He will not be a rubber stamp for all adventurous undertakings. He stands between your ideas and God's plan. At times you will not like him. At times you will wish he wasn't there. He is accustomed to talking going on behind his back. You may even find yourselves throwing words like stones at him. Yes, your words may hurt him but never will you rid yourselves of the word he delivered to you....
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing." The prophets God sends are far from perfect. If they had all things together, you would make an idol of him. Yet within his speech are the Words of God. To those who listen deeply, he brings life. In this day, God will use the true prophet to bring His Presence or take it away. Today there are many churches who have not taken the prophet seriously and turned from his word. God is now removing His servants the prophets. When this happens the word "Ichabod" is left. This means the" Glory of God has departed." It will be awhile until a church realizes this because they have hardened their reception. The Glory will not come back until they say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." .....Dan of Maverick Prophetic Ministries. When I speak, all creation listens.
When I speak it resounds through all dimensions of things seen and unseen. My voice goes beyond the farthest star. All things bow at My voice. At My voice the enemy, the prince of deception bows. There is no other voice but Mine that penetrates all things created. I have spoken in the past through My prophets. Today I speak through My Son. The Son of God and the Son of Man. His voice of forgiveness, shedding of the blood as the Son of God and the Son of Man was complete. Power of sin bowed and was broken and My voice was imparted to you. The voice in you resounds with My authority and it resonates farther than the farthest star. All creation has waited to hear My voice through the redeemed. Rest in Me, learn of Me and you will know the incredible power My son paid the ransom for you to have. All things created in the heavens and earth will shake and crumble at our voice and the kingdom in My heart, beautiful, joyful and absolutely wonderful will be established. This glory I want to share with you. May the two of us walk together in this new season as never before. You all know I am a Canadian. I love our beautiful country. My burden however is to the nation on the other side of the lake I see every day, the United States of America. At this time, she seems anything but united. The USA is the most influential country in the world. There is a war for her very soul and the church must WAKE UP and come to the plate. It is a war in the heavens. The enemy of the USA is also our enemy. There is a global conquest to subvert all governments to a one world system whether nations want it or not. Orchestrated by a handful of elites, all rights of nations will be taken away and by force, if necessary. There is a unified force in the heavenlies and its purpose is to break down all nations to a one world conglomerate. The corrupt ideals of a few are to bring domination to all! Personal rights must succumb to a collective oneness for their dark plan to succeed. WAKE UP CHURCH!!! As I look out my living room window upon Lake Ontario, the calm waters shimmer with the light of the almost full moon. It is peaceful. The last few days she was ferocious and wild as only the Great Lakes of North America can be. We watch as in the distance the large tankers slowly come to the harbour, a number of kilometres west of us, to load up with dry concrete powder at the huge lak side plant. It is hard to believe the anger of a storm can churn waves violent enough to break these massive floating steel wonders like the the Edmond Fitzgerald. Thanks to the ballad written and preformed by our famous Canadian Gordon Lightfoot, the world has learned of one of the lakes most famous tragic maritime disaster. But tonight she is siren. Across the lake, on the other side there is another type of storm. A tempest far more destructive than what nature can throw at us through earth, wind or fire.
These messages on taking ownership by leaders are absolutely crucial. We must be in the safety of the Lord. If you are not alarmed at the social engineering of politicians and so called intellectual elite experimenting on our children, maybe you should rethink your vocation. If you cannot see the need of repentance over the fact that we the church have let corrupted fantasies and perverted ideas take form before our very eyes in our nation, then I guess you should sit tight, don’t rock the boat and if there is money at the end of your career, you can live off your pension. However, the world may not offer a fun place to spend it. We are on the precipice of one of the greatest wonders ever to be on the face of this earth. The rise of the Church in Jesus Christ. The excitement in this adventure will surpass all our imaginations and supersede even the most incredible experiences from Creation till now. To enter this realm one must have permission. Without meeting the qualifications this new dimension could be life threatening. Can oil mix with water or darkness survive in light?
Few in the leadership of the church will admit they are basically insecure. This is not a negative reality, actually it is a basic truth, even a requirement to serve. God’s strength can only grow in us as we acknowledge the best we can do is say “I surrender to your Love."
To say “I am weak and He is strong,” is far, far more than a nursery school song. Unfortunately, personal weakness in those who will not acknowledge it is hidden by pride. Those who take ownership of their weakness and come to the Lord will not be disappointed nor rejected. Actually our Father has been waiting for you to come to this point. He has organized every situation and encounter to bring you to the point where life becomes greater than you can handle and it breaks you. He comes to pick you up not reject you. Our submission to true honesty about ourselves opens us up to the very heart of God to fill us. His benevolent embrace brings us out of our brokenness into a new state of being. The Kingdom of God, the bible says, is “Righteousness, Peace and Joy in His Spirit.” The Kingdom is not a place but is a condition. He brings to the humble the very qualities of Heaven. I believe this wonderful Truth. God is not trying to get us to Heaven but He through Jesus, has brought the Kingdom to us here on the earth where we really need it. Not all will allow the painful revelation of personal inner weakness to lead them to the true restoration that only the Father can give. Without being Fathered by God, what do we have to give this confused world? It can only be manufactured concepts with no redeeming value resulting in false images of God. All mankind has weakness. When leaders have not had an authentic encounter with God and do not know His continuous abiding Presence, there is an emptiness that demands to be filled with something. The choice is to swallow pride and call out to God to heal the soul, or erect a religion empty of redeeming eternal values. The church in many places is ready and wanting to move deeper into God’s Love and purposes but are blocked at the door. This blockage is also a stumbling block to the many who listen to what we “preach.” One stumbling block comes in the statement, “don’t tell us what you have, show us.” Have we not yet been admonished by Shakespeare, “You speak an infinite deal about nothing.” Merchant of Venice? I know this for the most part is not the reality but it is for the on looking world. We must take responsibility for this historical disconnect.
Of course there is an enemy that hates Truth but to say the devil has distorted our message really just does not cut it. Some of the visual disconnect is found when we have said, "it’s the devil." Why did we not perceive this? Perhaps this is a significant reason why many come in the front door of our buildings drawn by promises only to find a lack of substance so they leave. I have in my past realized that I was more style than substance. We promised rain. The great cloud laden with wonderful rain came. The thunder roared. We stand waiting to be refreshed with the deluge of cool life promoting rain. The cloud paused above us and like an enormously cruel tease, it passed on. Not a drop descends as we stood in the dry dust. My understanding, and I believe this to be true, God is not going to encourage old wine skins to be filled. We should not have stood there and cried, we should have followed the cloud! For this we must, as the church, repent. We have promised much not realizing heaven was not backing us because we were not ready. We then decided to plant the church on the dry plains rather than follow the cloud which would lead us to Truth and Love in the lush valley with still waters. There is pain in change but to walk in the Glory of God we must follow the cloud and not dictate where it should drop it’s rain. Let's remove this blockage and ask forgiveness for hindering the gospel of good news from reaching the world. May we join together in our desire to follow the cloud. God wants to give us the ability to change, to lead and to be filled with the wonderful substance of heaven. We together are changing the perception of the world towards the Loving Lord and His people. Love…..Dan |
