"DUTCH SHEETS: The Shift for 2006--Ministries will Restructure, as will Churches, Businesses, Individuals, and Families"
-- Dutch Sheets

Ministries will restructure, churches will restructure, businesses will restructure, individuals will restructure, and families will restructure.

This will be a year of the greatest change the Church has experienced in our generation. While preparing to minister in Dallas on January 5, I heard the Holy Spirit very clearly say, "Tell them. . . " I quickly grabbed a pen and wrote the following as it was given to me:


1. "The greatest shift into the Apostolic Age comes this year. For this year, they will begin to see the abundance of fruit come forth."

"Everything up to this point in time has been primarily the restoration of the apostolic and the prophetic--a preparation for what I am about to do." The fruit of God establishing the fullness of His ministry giftings and His government in the earth is going to allow Him to release unprecedented power, authority, favor, revelation, judgments, and righteousness.


2. "Opposition to the apostolic and prophetic will also be the greatest this year."

He is going to expose wineskins (new or old) and religious spirits, taking off the masks of those who oppose His move. Those who refuse to move in current truth will begin to openly criticize leaders in the Body of Christ that are moving in the flow of the apostolic and the prophetic. Some have been doing so in a very subtle way, but this year, it will become obvious. When they do, God is going to begin to judge them.


3. "I must bring further changing of paradigms, not just to those who have not been moving in the flow of My Spirit, but even to those who are in the flow of My Spirit." I heard Him say, "Restructure, Restructure, Restructure."

Ministries will restructure, churches will restructure, businesses will restructure, individuals will restructure (the way they do things, their time, the way they think, and the way they operate), and families will restructure.


Teaching on the kingdom of God will bring about great changes of paradigms, taking us back to the original mandate of Genesis. You will hear it taught over and over again this year. Kingdom theology is going to be at the forefront.


4. "I am waiting for those who will fulfill My mission statement."
(Luke 4:18-19; Isaiah 61)

Preach the gospel to the poor

Proclaim release to the captives

Recovery of sight to the blind

Set free the downtrodden

Proclaim the favorable year of the Lord

I heard Him say, "If those in My Church will begin to make this their mission statement, I will give them the fulfillment of every one of them." He went on to say, "There is a radical anointing of deliverance that is about to come to the Church. It will actually be violent at times, and people will be radically delivered in a moment."


The favorable year of the Lord refers to Jubilee. Captives go free, and inheritances are restored.


5. "This is a year of favor--and disfavor."

What you have prayed for, plowed for, sown into, longed for, cried out for, what you have seen but not been able to taste, what you have fasted for, and wept over--this is the year of favor. His favor will be seen on your family, business, finances, and body.


This is a year that He will no longer allow people to ride the fence. He will draw a line in the sand and make them decide who they are and what they stand for. The political games in the Church will be judged. For those who refuse to flow with current revelation and resist it, you will see them come into disfavor. Some ministries and churches will lose their favor this year. Others will be raised up and given more influence. It is a year of dismantling that which is built that is not bringing Him glory and a year of great building for others.

The landscape of the Church will change this year.


6. "I am looking this year for those who will be more heavenly minded than earthly minded."

He is looking for those who will set affections on things above, on His kingdom, and what He wants. For those who will do this, He will give them insights from heaven. This will allow them to bring heaven to earth, instead of simply praying, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." He will give them authority and understanding on how to bring heaven to earth.


Also, for those who do this, He will cause them to see things from a heavenly perspective. Problems, challenges, vision, difficulties in their families, financial needs--all of these will begin to be seen from His perspective.


7. "I am looking for those who will believe in My power. Miracles are there for the taking."

Chuck Pierce prophesied that we will see a move of God this year in which signs and wonders will break out on university campuses. Yale and the University of Texas were mentioned specifically, but the word was not limited to them. The power of God is about to invade the universities of America.


8. "Tell My leaders to pray more and work less."

The sense I had was that if they will pray more, they can work less.


9. "This is the most important year yet for right alignment."

This year, if we are not in proper alignment with leaders, properly connected to those we need to be walking with, and properly covered by those in positions of authority, it will begin to cost us fruitfulness and health, resulting in destruction in other ways, loss of revelation, and destiny. The setbacks will begin for those who are not properly aligned.


10. "This is the most important year yet for the right timing."

Opportunities will come and go quickly.


The timing of endeavors will be critical.


Being at the right place at the right time will be essential.


11. "The great transfer of wealth begins this year."


12. "The river of God is coming but not as they have known it before."

It will not be just refreshing and renewal.


It will be deeper and will bring about great power and great harvest.


13. "This is a year of unique assignments."


14. "This is a year in which I will release an abundance of creativity."

Business


Technology


Inventions


Songs, ideas, and strategies


I heard Him say, "The secrets of heaven are coming to earth." Some of it will be so revelatory that even creative ideas on how to transform whole regions of the world will be released.


15. "I am going to wreak havoc in some of the U.S. government."

Corruption will be exposed.


The wrong motives will be exposed.


Judgment is coming to this nation with great intensity and God is going to show who is on His side.


16. "This is the year that the lid comes off of the youth movement."

The Lord made that statement as I saw a picture of a giant pressure cooker, shaking and ready to explode. Suddenly, the lid blew off, and the contents flew everywhere.


The shift this year will be monumental. Shift with Him, and see your greatest year ever.

"Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert." --Isaiah 43:18-19

Let's shift with Him!

This prophecy is in alignment with what I have been getting. Interesting, what Dutch wrote about "restructuring" and the persecution of the true "apostolic & prophetic"...friends, what is coming, no eye has ever seen. Truly we are in the brink of a complete re-FORMING of the church as we know it....

------------------------------------------------

Dear Church,

Two interesting recent developments:

1. On the positive side from Jim Rutz: "It is a sign of the revolutionary times that a recognized university has asked house church people to give a course for credit. The exciting new course will be entitled, "Taking Your Place in the New Christianity: Global Megashifts, Miracles, and the House Church Movement" (PMIS 585B)," and it will be team-taught by James Rutz and Jeffrey Burns in February at Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA. (To register, contact Mr. Christopher Gammill chrigam@regent.edu , Coordinator, Regent University Center for Missions, School of Divinity.)"

2. On the not so positive side from Lee Grady, editor of Charisma Magazine. Here are a few quotes from his editorial/book review in the January edition of the magazine.

"Fire In My Bones: George Barna’s Dangerous Proposal"

"But what Barna wants to do is reinvent the church without its biblical structure and New Testament order—and without the necessary people who are anointed and appointed by God to lead it. To follow this defective thesis to its logical conclusion would require us to fire all pastors, close all seminaries and Bible colleges, padlock our sanctuaries and send everybody home to be discipled by somebody on the Internet or at a “spontaneous” worship concert. (After all, who needs buildings? Megachurches are so ‘90s.)

Barna is also surprisingly absorbed with American culture and seems out of touch with global spiritual trends. As a result his book has relatively no application in developing nations where churches today are growing faster than ever. I can’t imagine telling an Indian, Nigerian or Chinese church planter these principles. The vibrant new churches in those countries, in fact, are much better biblical models of what God wants to do in the United States than anything Barna has suggested here.

The message of Revolution is not for Christians in the Third World, and it is not for us. With all respect to Barna, who has helped us in the past with his facts and observations, this flawed proposal needs to be recalled before it causes some serious damage."

To read the whole article go to http://forums.strang.com/viewtopic.php?t=7564&sid=9863834cc195e52c55e4fc367f667939 Also, scroll down on the same page and read the very interesting responses to the article.

My comments: It's hard to believe that Grady read the same book ("Revolution") that I read. However, Grady's review reminded me that lots of people will feel threatened and angry by the "revolution" that is already underway and by the house church movement. How will we respond when they focus their criticism on us? Felicity Dale's (House2House) challenge recently was that when attacked by other believers we would "bleed Jesus". May it be so.

Every believer a church planter.
Every home a church.
Every church building a training center.
