Acts 2:17-21
‘In the final unfolding days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit on those who are serving me, men and women, old and young and they will declare the word of the Lord. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below-… And everyone who receives their message will be saved.’
Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Breakthrough
Prophetic Word:
It is the time for the breakthrough to victory.
There will be a significant increase in miracles and signs and wonders. The anointing will be so strong that it will break significant and long-standing strongholds that have plagued people’s lives.
For the Lord says, “My people are entering into an overcoming season that will produce great breakthroughs. For the enemy has come in like a flood, but I, the Lord, am releasing great victories. I will stem the tide of violence. I will bring peace to the land. I will bring an awakening! I will release revival!
Many “workings of miracles” that are creative in nature will be seen in hundreds of churches across the world.
The greatest harvest of souls the earth has known is upon us.

Releasing the Miraculous in 2017
2017 is presented us with DRAMATIC CHANGES in the Spiritual Dynamics of this country
2017 has offered a change in the SPIRITUAL ATMOSPHERE of America.
A DOORWAY has been opened for the Church to re establish the direction of this nation.
2017 insights
- This DOOR is being opened for a move of the Holy Spirit
- The prophesying of preparation and equipping in 2016 will be realized in 2017
- The Lord has redirected the downward spiral of this nation
- The United States of America will again be a major impact in the world by God’s hand.
Doorway:
Col 4:3
The apostle Paul says…pray for us that God may open a DOORWAY for our message
Hos 2:15
I will return her (America) vineyards (economic, spiritual fruitfulness) to her and transform the Valley of Trouble ( discouragement, job loss, debt, etc.) into a DOORWAY of hope (prosperity physically and spiritually).
As we saw
Doorway (in scripture)
An opening
A portal / gate
An exiting from the past
An entering into a new era
For 2017
We are entering a
PROPHETIC DOORWAY
We said
Prophetic Doorway
A Prophetic Doorway is a time where the Lord releases special grace and favor to provide for breakthrough and breakout Spiritually and physically.

We are entering a season where God wants to raise up the Church (you) to

Est 4:14 But it’s possible you are here for such a time as this?”

Jesus’ Mandate
Luke 4:18-19
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
John 14:12-14
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Our mandate for 2017
You are
-
Anointed (empowered) to proclaim the “Good News” (Jesus, salvation, victory, life)

To release those who are in bondage (drugs, alcohol, pornography, $$)
-
To restore sight to the blind (physically-deception lies / spiritually-past religious involvement )
-
To release the oppressed ( loss of hope, filled with fear, depression)
-
To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor- (the overwhelming love of God and his
-
desire for relationship)
“I have come to bring you life and that life a life of victory so that you may be my instruments to bring my message to the world (Jn 10:10 NFW)
The Lord has said
“I have made this year..
THE YEAR OF BREAKTHROUGH
The Verse
Deut 11:22-24
If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow — to love the Lord your God, to be obedient to his lead and trust in him—then the Lord will drive out your enemies (obstacles/limitations) before you, and you will dispossess (ministry) nations larger and stronger than you (impossibilities). Every place where you set your foot will be yours (breakthrough).
But 1st
In order to believe God is going to use you (more) in 2017 you have to set aside the limitations or boundaries of the past
(enemies agenda to neutralize)
Believe in God’s promises for your future in 2017.
Isa 43:18-19
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on (be limited by) the past. 19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
another way..
In order to believe God- THROUH YOU
You have to believe God …. TO YOU
