IN 1999 - SIX WAVES OF LOVE TO ROLL ACROSS THE NATIONS

Fri, 11 Dec 1998 From: angelafitch@juno.com (Angela Fitch)

Greetings! This is a Word that came through the mail to me, from 'Shiloh Place Ministries' in Conway, SC led by Jack Frost. He said he hesitates to call the following a prophetic word but to not discount it as such. I have already noticed some of the things he mentions toward the end of this word, the things that we can expect before each wave, that seem to already begun in my life and many of the lives of others around me. Jack Frost has drawn these conclusions and summaries from a variety of respected prophetic voices, conversations with leaders in the Father Heart movement (Jack Winter, Ed Piorek, and others) as well as from insights from conversations with pastors and missionaries in many different nations. Their e-mail address is: shilohplace@juno.com. This is the word, in it's entirety as written in their quarterly publication, 'The Shepherd's Song,' 1998 4th quarter issue. May God Bless You in ALL that you do! Angela Fitch

IN 1999 - SIX WAVES OF LOVE TO ROLL ACROSS THE NATIONS

In 1999, mighty waves of love will begin to roll across the nations in a greater magnitude than ever before. These waves will be the beginning of a paradigm (or way of thinking) shift of what we have known church life to be. They will come with such force that many who have not prepared their life with a spirit of brokenness and humility will be washed aside and their ministries will no longer have the effectiveness that they have had in the past. Others who have been obscure and broken will quickly emerge to the forefront and will see cities impacted through a demonstration of anointing and power that is released through relationship, meekness, and love. (Matthew 11:29, 23:11-12)

There will be a set of at least 6 waves of love that Father will pour upon the earth:

(1) The first wave will flow over Christians who have been emotionally handicapped because they have not experienced the right kind of love. They are going to be saturated with the Father's unconditional love and acceptance. Fears of failure and rejection will be cast out by love. No longer will they compete and perform for love, identity, and acceptance but they will walk in a deeper sense of security, love, and faith from a new found intimacy with the Father. (Isaiah 66:12-13)

(2) The second wave will be composed of humility and meekness and will anoint many leaders who have walked in positional authority of true spiritual fathers. Their life will exemplify Christ likeness, humility, meekness, and unconditional love. The anointing released through them will be based on intimacy and relationship, not just power, giftings, and position. No longer will they struggle and weary themselves with raising up leaders but they will be at rest fathering sons who will take the Father's healing love to the nations. Many fathers and sons will be set in their destinies to transform the nations in the Father's love. (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8)

(3) The third wave will release greater unity within the church than ever before. No longer competing for love, position, and identity but now resting in Father's love and grace, pastors and different churches will begin to flow with one voice and one vision within their cities. Their heart's cry will be to make the Father's love known to their city and petty theological differences will fade away in the light of God's love. (Psalm 133)

(4) The fourth wave will bring the prodigal sons and daughters home. These are those who left the church because they have been so wounded by religion, those who felt they couldn't perform well enough, those who were so wounded in their youth and couldn't match up to church standards; they shall begin to return to the Father and to the spiritual fathers who now walk in humility and unconditional love. Joy will return to the church as it becomes a place where the 'heart of the fathers is restored to the heart of the sons, and the heart of the sons restored to the fathers'. (Malachi 4:5-6, Luke 15:20-24)

(5) Then, the fifth wave will bring in the lost. They will begin to see the difference the Father's love has made in Christian's lives. Before, their Christian work mates and family members were critical and judgmental of them but now love, servanthood, and acceptance flows from them. Their countenance is different. Their marriages are different. Being in a Christian's presence is no longer bad news to a lost person but like a breath of fresh air. They begin to seek for the source of love and are led to the Father. A wave of revival begins to sweep the nations. (John 17:23)

(6) A whole paradigm shift in church life results. No longer will the church be an unsafe place for sinners and wounded people. No longer will many lead out of a need to be needed and to find identity, value, and self worth in ministry. No longer will many churches be performance based. The church will become the Father's House, a place where the Father lives to meet the love need of His children, and His children will be at rest, comforted in the Father's love. "The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind, just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, so they might be one heart and mind in us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact sent me. The same glory you gave me, I gave them, so they'll be as unified and together as we are - I in them and you in me. Then they'll be mature in this oneness, and give the godless world evidence that you've sent me and loved them in the same way you've loved me.' (John 17:21-23, The Message)

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE EACH WAVE We can expect to go through many relational and personal trials and testings in coming months. Many of the negative circumstances that will be going on around us will not be demonic but the dealings of the Father which are meant to break unbroken areas and to purify our motives so we find our utter dependence on Him and not on our giftings or position. Otherwise, the Sprit flowing out of us to others is blended and mixed with our unbroken soul. When we open our mouth, it is not pure but flows out of the impurity of a strong will or stubborn mind. Then our effectiveness to touch other's loves with the Father's love is not hindered by a lack of anointing but by the flow of impurities from our soul (James 1:2-4)

Often, the greatest weakness we have is our inability to truly acknowledge our need for Him. Thus, Father has us in the process of depleting our identity from being in our inheritance found in giftings, talents, and position (the prodigal son) so that He may bring us to the place of seeing that our greatest need is a deep personal intimate relationship with Him. It is difficult giving a gift to a person who has no need. We must first see our desperate need for the removal of limitations of our soul that have hindered us from purely walking in the Father's unconditional love and acceptance. (John 15:4-5)

The brokenness the Father is leading us into is meant to reveal a supernatural revelation of His love deep in our area of need. Many of the troubles and trials we will experience are meant to bring us to a place of brokenness so Father can pour forth His love deep within our soul. The measure of Father's love being released in our life will depend upon how much we allow the Father to discipline, break, and transform us. (John 16:20-27)

During the trials, continue to stand firm in God's grace (ability). Focus on the Father's love and acceptance for us. Nothing we do will make Him love us more and nothing we do will make Him love us less. We must not seek to blame others when things go wrong but allow the circumstance to be an opportunity for the Father's love to purify our soul and to cleanse us from all resentment and anger. Then we will begin to experience His wave of love flowing over us and washing away the fears, limitations, and hindrances of the past. (1 Peter 3:9-11)

In the Father's love,
