The church is not prepared for what is about to happen

Hey there to you all,

I've been traveling quite a bit and it's been a long time since I've posted something up here on Prophetic People Blog....

So, today I want to release to you some of the things that God has been speaking to me about.

What would you do if I told you that God is about to bless you completely out of your socks... I mean.....so much so that you will be totally overwhelmed by it and you just won't be able to contain it to the point that you will have to involve others to help you with it.

Perhaps you are in a place where you can't see anything on the horizon or you've tried so hard to break through to the next level and it has left you frustrated and confused. Or... you are focused on some issues that have grown so big that you just can't see further than all that is surrounding you. Take heart... God is about to do something really huge in this season and time.....

The story opens in the book of Luke chapter 5 from verse 1 onwards.
Jesus is down at a lake and there is a very large crowd around and they are pressing in to Him for a word. They are thronging Him and hungry to hear another message that will open up their understanding to who God is....

As Jesus was about to open His mouth and begin to teach them something very profound... He looked off to the right and noticed two boats that had been dragged out of the water and brought up higher on the beach. These two boats had just come back from a fishing trip and the fishermen were busy packing everything away and washing their salty nets so that they wouldn't rot before the next fishing trip.

In particular, he noticed one of the boats and decided to get into it. This boat was Simon Peter's boat. What a strange thing to do.... Almost like He wanted to use it for something. Perhaps He wanted to go on a fishing trip some time later on in the day and was just checking it out to see if it was ok...

No... He was planning to use it for something incredible. The message to you today is this....
JESUS HAS NOTICED YOUR BOAT. Your boat speaks of something very specific to you that God has given you. It may be your business, your skills, your gifting or your ministry. This is something that is pertinent to you and you alone. Your boat is something that God wants to use.

The next thing that happened is that Jesus politely asked Peter if He could sit down in the boat and be pushed out a little way from the land so that He could preach a life changing message to the hungry crowd who were busy finding a place to sit on the beach. Peter is more than happy to do this for Jesus.

By the time Jesus had finished His message, the people were amazed and things have happened there. Everyone is blessed.

Suddenly... Jesus turned to Peter and spoke these words....

"Launch out into the deep and let down your NETS for a catch".
Peter was dumbstruck. They had just got back some hours earlier from one of the most frustrating fishing trips and they had come back empty handed. Why on earth would they want to get everything ready again to go out. They were tired and ready to go home and get into bed for a much needed rest.
Peter looked at Jesus and said these words. "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing, nevertheless, at your word, I will let down the net".

One thing I noticed here was that Jesus gave an instruction to Peter in order to connect Him to the supernatural blessing and supply that He was about to release. The instruction was to launch out into the deep..., Not the shallow places, but deep waters.... Next, Peter was told to let down some nets for a catch.... Notice, Jesus said NETS, not net. This was so important. One net would not have been enough to capture what Jesus was about to release to them. Jesus knew that this would mean that Peter would have to get James and John involved in order to bring in the catch, but Peter was just too short sighted to see this. In fact no-one was read for what was about to happen.

Then, Peter launched his boat out and just simply let down the net. All at once, fish began to fill the net and it began to stretch beyond its limits and began to break. Peter began to panic as Jesus started to giggle. I can just picture the scene there. Peter was about to loose this whole catch. Quickly he signaled to James and John to come and help them and they went out and filled both their boats to overflowing and the boats started to sink.

The message to you today is this.....

We have entered into God's time line. You see, when we are doing things according to our timeline, we sometimes get results, but at a great cost. God's time line has an element of the supernatural in it and all it requires is that we listen to Him for His instructions. During the past season in the life of the church, many have experience toil and frustration.... This is about to change. An instruction is about to be given that is going to change everything for you, but you need to be listening for it.
What God is about to do, we are completely and utterly unprepared for. It is going to be so big that we ourselves will not be able to contain it or capture it. We will need to get everyone else involved in it so that this great Blessing from God is not lost.

The time and season in the church is changing from a time of toil to a time of supernatural harvest and release. I know you have probably heard so much over the years about harvest that by now, you have had enough... Let me tell you, the season is changing and a shift is taking place.

Get ready.......

What seems like a "grammitical error" NETS, instead of Net, is so simple, but it gives us an example of how simple (or how complex) the instructions from Jesus can be.

Just think: if Peter had let down the NETS, I wonder how much more blessings they would have received.

We also sometimes assume what Jesus, or the Holy Spirit told us.

We have to learn to be 100% obedient to the EXACT MESSAGE from Jesus (or the Holy Spirit) if we want to receive ALL OF THE BLESSINGS.
