*Greater Freedom Is Here*
*Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.* 2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV
Many people are suffering in a past season of pain that is limiting them.
The Lord showed me that millions of people are stuck in the wilderness, and many may not realize they can get out.
The Lord gave me a key or strategy to get people out of this and break free from discouragement, depression, and even suicide!
*Spirit Of Understanding Is Here*
*Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand.”*
John 13:7 ESV
Ask the Lord to reveal what you need. Invite the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding.
The Lord is on the move and the solution might be easier than you think.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NIV
The Lord is pouring out His power on all people this year. It will be good to allow this process to happen organically.
*Bringing About The Lord’s Timing*
*A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.* Proverbs 16:9 NKJV
The Lord is going to birth the understanding of His perfect timing. Birthing indicates that it may take time for this to happen. Similar to a baby being born, there is a nine-month period for this to take place.
The perfect timing of the Lord will allow you to make decisions and be in synchronization with the Lord.
*Don’t Be Discouraged*
*I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.* Ephesians 3:16–17 NIV
You have survived a major attack against the entire world, and the Lord has you covered. This is the year for you to step out of the old season and into new power and glory!
- Don’t give up!
- Stay with it!
- The Lord is with you!
*Help From God*
*Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?* Hebrews 1:14 NIV
If you say there is an angel in the room, people doubt. But if you tell them there is a demon, they are more likely to believe you.
Most people have more demonic encounters than angelic encounters because there is an over-focus on demons and deliverance. In some seasons we need deliverance. I am in one now—but my focus, mind and spirit default to the Lord.
As you switch your focus to angels and the good things of God, your perspective will change.
*Angelic Encounters In The New Testament*
Philip interacted with both the Holy Spirit and an angel during the same encounter (Acts 8:26, 29).
An angel broke Peter out of jail, but at first, he thought he was having a vision (Acts 12).
Cornelius “distinctly saw an angel” during an encounter in Acts 10:3.
Angelic encounters can come in visions, be unseen or happen right in front of us.
The Bible is packed full of angelic encounters! You need to test the spirits to understand them.
The key to all this is to release expectations. You don’t have to see an angel. What counts is hearing God’s voice, growing your character, loving and helping others.
*How To Increase Your Ability To Hear God*
- Get Bible verses that back up what you need to know or do
- Pray in agreement with others
- Consider taking communion
These are my three favorite verses inviting the Spirit of Truth:
*But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.* John 16:13 NIV
*These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.* 1 Corinthians 2:10 NIV
*He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.* Daniel 2:22 NIV
*Prayer To Open Things Spiritually*
*I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength.*
Ephesians 1:17–19 NIV

A Season of Harvest, Multiplication and Fruitfulness
April 19, 2024 • Doug Addison
In this special excerpt, Tony Kim shares some insight on the end-times harvest and the year of the open door. Below are some notes from our Partners-only Monthly Mentoring Session. These sessions have been recorded and you can access them by becoming a Partner today! Find out more at https://dougaddison.com/timeoff/ Tony started out the session by saying that we are in the new Hebrew calendar year 5784, which is the year of the open door based on the meaning of the 4th letter of the Hebrew alphabet (alef-bet). This is a season for the great harvest. The 4th miracle of Jesus is Him feeding the 5000, so the 4th letter of the Hebrew number system also represents multiplication. The Church in the Book of Acts experienced addition first, and then after chapter 5 they went into multiplication. So Tony believes we're moving from addition into multiplication. He went on to say that he believes—this year—we’re going to see God multiply the works of our hands and the seeds we've sown. Multiplication will come through thanksgiving. Tony also believes we're stepping into a season of God's fullness. It's a “fullness of time” time … in terms of what's happening within God's timetable. In that kind of season, thanksgiving and gratitude are key. One of the sins that kept the Israelites out of the Promised Land was their grumbling. Let's shift from grumbling into gratitude! When Jesus received the fish and the bread, He looked up and broke it. Many people feel broken in this season, but remember that after Jesus gave thanks, there was multiplication. Remember the 4th miracle of Jesus and be encouraged. In Genesis chapter 2, there is a mention that out of Eden flowed 4 rivers. Eden means “his desire.” So out of His desire, there are 4 rivers. The 1st river was called Pishon and that means “increase.” The 2ndd river, Gihon, means “to burst forth” or “break through.” Tigris, the 3rd river, means “rapid or “acceleration.” Euphrates, the 4th river, means “fruitfulness.” So, get ready because the places where you thought you were breaking, Tony believes you are going to bear much fruit! You're going from barrenness to fruitfulness … because of your faithfulness! Perhaps you thought that no one has seen your faithfulness. Tony mentioned that he felt like the Lord is saying, “Get ready because we are in the 4th river of Euphrates, and you are going to step into it by His grace … by His Spirit … not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit … into a great season of fruitfulness!” Tony mentioned that this word personally encouraged him, and he has seen this happen in his own life. Their church attendance has quadrupled! And if it’s happened for him (the multiplication), it will happen for you too! InLight Connection thanks Tony Kim for sharing his heart with us. P.S.

The Bride of Christ and Holy Matrimony
April 12, 2024 • Doug Addison
In this special excerpt, Bonnie Jones shares her insight about the Bride of Christ, intimacy with the Lord and going behind the veil. Below are some notes from our Partners-only Monthly Mentoring Session. These sessions have been recorded, and you can access them by becoming a Partner today! Find out more at https://dougaddison.com/timeoff/. Bonnie started out by saying the time has come for the Bride of Christ to enter into the holiness of God. This is where the Bride is seated behind the veil. Behind the veil, the enemy is not going to touch you and it’s where the Lord will teach His Bride. There’s no struggle or striving because you’re in the presence of the Lord. Bonnie mentioned that a lot of times, the Lord teaches her in the night season. During the day people are busy, and at night He takes you to this place which is behind the veil. It’s here that your mind is given over to Him. The bridal veil represents the purity of the bride. There’s a lot of carnality in the Church worldwide, and some people just attend because it’s the right thing to do. But the Bride needs to press in. Bonnie talked about Isaac and Rebecca and about how the first thing Rebecca did when she got off the camel was put a veil on her face. She knew she was Isaac’s bride, but he wouldn’t be able to see her until he removed the veil. In the Jewish tradition, the bride covers her face completely until the end of the wedding ceremony. When the bride and groom are legally married, the groom lifts the veil as a way of finalizing their marriage. Two years ago, the Lord told Bonnie that He’s coming to lift the veil off His Bride. That’s why she started her ministry, Daughters of the Dawn. The Lord is coming to lift the veil off the face of His Bride (His beloved who has been faithful to Him, preparing herself for His return). He’s been faithful to continuously intercede for her while she prepares herself in holiness, faithfulness, truth and love. Bonnie said she thinks the Lord has a real expectation about this. He’s as excited for us as we are for Him. The Lord wants that face-to-face encounter with His beloved as He lifts the veil. There’s a dimension we have not yet attained, and Bonnie believes like Moses met with God face to face and the glory rested upon him, that is what the Lord is wanting us to do. Bonnie said that when she goes to bed at night, there’s such anticipation in her and an expectation of a visitation from the Lord … For Him to show her something in a dream or give her a “knowing” or an understanding. The Lord is going to breathe new life into His Bride. Bonnie said we’re going to see new life and it’s going to be something we haven’t seen before. Bonnie told the Partners how her husband, Bob Jones, said there were seven years when he walked in a “Samuel anointing.” He said every word he spoke came to pass right then, and he saw many people get saved and healed. Bonnie mentioned again that that’s why we need to get rid of all our fleshly stuff … Because when the Lord speaks, He needs a vessel to work through … and then we can release His word in power. So, we really need to have clean vessels … pure, only unto the Lord. Bonnie closed by saying that the Lord is unveiling the Bride to take her by the hand into holy matrimony. InLight Connection thanks Bonnie Jones for sharing her heart with us! P.S. Thank you to all of those who partner with InLight Connection and give on a regular basis.

Knowing Holy Spirit as a Person
April 5, 2024 • Doug Addison
In this special excerpt, Sean Smith shares some practical ways we can begin to view Holy Spirit as a Person and not an impersonal force. Below are some notes from our Partners-only Monthly Mentoring Session. These sessions have been recorded and you can access them by becoming a Partner today! Find out more at https://dougaddison.com/timeoff/. Sean started off by saying that the first imperative for intimacy with God is that you have to have a revelation of God as your Father. Secondly, you must recognize the Holy Spirit as a Person. Holy Spirit is not “junior God.” Sometimes people treat Holy Spirit like He's a junior partner in the Trinity. Jesus told His disciples that it was good for Him to go away because He would send another helper. The Greek word used there means “another of the same kind.” Sean mentioned how he thinks about what Peter would have thought . . . that no one could replace Jesus because He’d done all sorts of miracles. But Jesus knew His mission was to bear our sins upon Himself, to pay the price to release the Kingdom of God, etc … Sean said Jesus was telling them, “You’re ready for this and as real as I’ve been to you, that’s how real Holy Spirit wants to be.” So, is your relationship with Holy Spirit as real as the disciples walking with Jesus? To feel that, bring Holy Spirit into your situations and get His perspective, wisdom and narrative. Sean then mentioned how when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, he did not say, “the iPhone.” He only said, “iPhone,” making it more personal. In the same way, we can drop the “the” and say, “Holy Spirit.” This can give us a better sense of intimacy. Holy Spirit is not chill bumps. He's not goosebumps. He's not warm flashes. He's not even power alone, those things are impersonal. Holy Spirit is a Person! He has feelings and He can be grieved. He's not moody but He has moods. He’s in the mood to heal. He’s in the mood to restore! He’s in the mood to convict … Sean said, “I'm not saying He's moody, I'm saying He has moods.” Holy Spirit talks and He has a will! It's all proved in Scripture that He is a Person! InLight Connection thanks Sean Smith for sharing his heart with us!
