All these personal words through the prophetic anointing were impressive. But the truly thrilling matter emerged gradually through the many messages not mentioned here: The Lord is preparing for the river of the Holy Spirit to flow again --- but in a wholly new "river-bed." As word for word came forth, some with direct marching orders, some with very dis- tinct directions, and as we learned what sort of people the Lord had gathered, a picture began to emerge of G-d's new move.

Whoever will look backward - like Lot's wife - will miss this move altogether. Whoever will wallow in nostalgia of how things used to be, and how the Spirit "used to move," will not see the coming move. It is not anything like formerly.

"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert"³.

The Lord will bypass the "big" churches of several thousand in membership. He is grieved with the "performance churches" who offer a "Jesus-Christ-show" and a "Sunday-morning-happy-hour." Instead He has begun to call some of the most unlikely people, men and women alike, without discrimination. What almost all have in common is this: they were tested by trials and afflictions, and were not overcome. They love and support Israel. They are being instructed by the Lord how they relate to the House of Israel already now, in this present age, while still at home in the mortal body and Israel still a mortal people of sinners. They have "the hots" for the Lord and care only about one thing --- to do His will. They don't seek their own glory, but how to glorify Him.

The Lord is raising up a new breed of believers. They will be the uncompromising kind, not swerved by various doctrines or the favor or disfavor of men. They will not aim to please fickle men, how to satisfy their itching ears. They are lovers of the truth. Some of them already suffer persecution for their uncompromising stand. But they know that no good thing dwells in the flesh. They seek the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, not the approval of men.

This emerged as the new strategy of the Lord: to create nucleuses of this new breed of believers. He refers to them as "headquarters," each to be identified by a specific name. One particular vision for a couple (the husband is a retired airforce pilot) showed these headquarters to form a network, serviced by professional pilots providing transportation for those in charge to meet together regularly in fasting and prayer. This move of the Holy Spirit will transcend borders and eliminate the competitiveness between one church and another. Though physically apart, they will experience a deep sense of unity, being of one united heart, mind and purpose.

They will constitute the first seeds for what the Lord is preparing to raise up: men and women who will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom to every people, nation, tribe and tongue, before the end comes. Together with their Jewish brethren they will turn the world upside down for Yeshua. For this final revival the Lord will restore the apostolic and prophetic ministry to such power it will surpass the early days. It will provide the unifying support and guidance from the Lord as well as protection against false brethren and infiltrators.

Please, don't misinterpret me. I am not saying that the Lord is doing away with the communities of believers called "churches." Of course not! I am speaking in regard to the coming revival and the kind of people G-d will use. He will separate the true from the false. Those prepared by Him will "catch the fire" and carry it like a torch to other places. 

The word "church" is not a building or an establishment. It is a body of believers forming a congregation or community of saints, an assembly of G-d's Firstborn, the Body of Messiah. They may vary in number and size. The seven churches addressed in the Book of Revelation pertaining to the closing days of this age certainly don't consist of only a few hundred or thousand members. Nor is there anymore a church in "Ephesus," or "Sardis," or "Philadelphia." These communities had their spiritual beginning in the EAST, at the RISING OF THE SUN (i.e. the dawn of the age of grace), for reason of which the vision places all of them in modern-day Turkey, the "GATE to the East." 

"Then I saw another angel ascend from the RISING OF THE SUN, with the seal of the Living G-d..."⁴.

These are saints from every people, nation, tribe or language. They belong to the different "categories" of believers identified before G-d by those names and represented by their individual guardian angel. There will always be communities of saints, some larger, some smaller. And there will be false and apostate "churches." Hence G-d will use the "nucleuses" as His vehicles to raise up new communities of believers. Infused with the power of the Holy Spirit they will follow after holiness and godliness, with unshakable faith.
