It’s Time To Refire, Not Retire

Most people our age are preparing for retirement, but we are getting ready for “re-firement.”

September 22, 2022 • Doug Addison

InLight Connection is celebrating its 21st anniversary! The Lord has been so good to us! On behalf of myself, my loving wife Linda and the InLight Connection Team, we want to say thank you to our followers and Partners!

Every week I release prophetic words and teachings, and we could not do it without you! Your prayers, support and taking the time to follow us on social media mean so much!

*Behind-The-Scenes*

I want to give you a behind-the-scenes history and more about my recent 7-year assignment in Hollywood.

When we started InLight Connection on September 21, 2001, I had just been healed of the symptoms of Huntington’s disease, an incurable genetic illness that nearly wiped out my entire family. Now I am 63 years old, still healed, and in a study at the UCLA Medical Center. This is an amazing miracle! Thank You, Lord!

In 2001, I went to a conference in Kelowna, BC, hosted by my good friends, Patricia King and Stacey Campbell. I got the opportunity to go on what was possibly one of the first prophetic evangelism outreaches in North America.

At that conference, I received a videotape of the late prophet Bob Jones, and he shared the details of his life-calling encounter with the Lord where he died and was sent back to Earth with a mandate to raise the church up for the coming revival of all revivals.

The Lord is going to bring about a massive revival of over a billion people.

When my wife Linda and I watched the video, the Holy Spirit hit us, and the Lord spoke to me that I would be part of helping fulfill Bob Jones’ prophecy of the billion-soul harvest.

We literally sold everything and within a few months (2002) the Lord moved. We went to work for John Paul Jackson and Streams Ministries. I was one of John Paul’s instructors and outreach coordinators.

*Our 7-year Assignment To See Behind The Scenes Of Hollywood And The 7 Mountains (prophetic, arts, entertainment & governmental)*

In 2013, Linda and I sold our house in Santa Maria and rolled everything we had into moving back to Los Angeles. It took two more years to get positioned for the LA Project.

*Getting Aligned With Accountability And Leadership*

Our spiritual father and longtime friend Prophet James Goll encouraged us to join Harvest International Ministries (HIM) with Apostle Ché Ahn and Mama Sue. We were commissioned as HIM prophets in 2015, and at the same time, a house became available to rent on the West Side that was uniquely positioned—we could see the Hollywood sign in the distance! It was a prophetic intercessor's dream!

*West LA—Santa Monica Special Assignment*

The rental house was small and not fancy, but it was where the Lord confirmed that we should be. A lot of you stepped up to help us financially with the LA Project. Thank you very much!

There were some good times, but some points were extremely difficult as I went deeper into the project with the Lord. I have been a special-forces-style prophet for several years, and I have gone behind the scenes as a seer and prophetic intercessor. I have been reporting on how to pray in my *Spirit Connection* episodes, my online training and schools of ministry.

*Testimonies Including Suicide Being Broken*

We have had a lot of great fruit! A major A-level executive producer came to the Lord, and I got to consult on two major movies as a prophetic intercessor. We have also developed an amazing online following. People are reporting healings, and powerful testimonies of people getting delivered of suicide, hopelessness and the spirit of fear. Wow. Thank you, Lord!

*My Own Testimony And Healings*

For part of the 7-year assignment I was anxious, sick, stressed and burnt-out from being on the road.

The Lord gave me a strategy to do what I used to do at outreaches and live events, but to go nearly 100% online. I was one of the early forerunners with online training, webcasts, podcasts and coachings way before Zoom.

When the pandemic hit, we were already prepared because we had been training others on how to “get online and not be left behind.”

We have been blessed financially to do what the Lord calls us to do when He calls us to do it. That is true prosperity!

I have maintained the healing of Huntington’s disease, and I got healed of Lyme disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, adrenal failure, anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.

Getting off the road and going through inner healing has brought me closer to the Lord, my family and my wife. I am working on being a patient, loving, kind husband, father and spiritual leader. I’m still in process, so thanks for your grace!

*A Shift In My Messages*

The Lord spoke to me in 2020 to make a shift in my messages. He called me to focus my prophetic words and podcasts to more encouragement and instructions on how to weather the storms.

We need all different types of prophetic people and various leaders to reach different people.

The Lord spoke to me and a few other apostolic-level leaders that what I need to do is what I do best—look in the camera and tell everyone that it is going to be okay ... because it is!

The Lord is still in control, and we are going to weather the storm!

*Signs Prophets Battle Behind The Scenes*

One of my gifts is that of a “signs prophet” like Ezekiel 24:24, “what happens to you is a sign to others.” Because of this, behind the scenes I have gone through some major storms and attacks, and I battle the forces of darkness. I then release a powerfully prophetic word to you.

The truth is not in the storm or the attack. Jesus calmed the storm, and He walked above it, or He slept through it. In all cases, the Lord taught us to speak to our storms to calm them and other times, to just stay calm and carry on.

*Word From Prophet Shawn Bolz*

What has really gotten me through the past 7 years is when I got commissioned as an HIM prophet, at the start of this new season here in LA in 2015.

Prophet Shawn Bolz gave me a prophetic word and the Lord and others have confirmed it's still happening.

Shawn said, *“When you get through this season and close the landing strips, the Lord is going to give you the deliverance level of Bob Jones.”*

I traveled with the late prophet Bob Jones, and I saw his style of being a signs prophet. He is one of the people who helped train me. Bob taught me that you battle behind the scenes, then you can set people, groups, churches and cities free.

To prepare for this, I have been training and the Lord has been sharpening my prophetic anointing. I also knew I needed to get inner healing, counseling and deliverance. I have had to take a lot of time away from my online training, which is our main source of revenue.

It has been humbling, but if you humble yourself the Lord will lift you up.

*7 Years Later—Word From Cindy Jacobs*

In May 2022, Linda and I were at an HIM meeting in Pasadena, and Apostle Cindy Jacobs called me out and prophesied. The Holy Spirit hit me hard and imparted a new level of anointing.

Cindy said, *“Doug you are a prophet, but the Lord has seen that you have had double trouble from the enemy. So, the Lord is going to give you a double anointing as a healing revivalist, and you are going to receive double repayment for all you have gone through.”*

*The 7-Year Assignment In Hollywood And My Preparation*

Over the years at our house in West LA, we have sown over a half a million dollars in rent. Linda just turned 64 and I am 63.

Most people our age are preparing for retirement, but we are getting ready for “re-firement.”

Time to get re-fired and not retire

I need to be honest, we are battle weary but not giving up. Linda and I and the InLight Connection Team have been battling hard, especially the past year and a half.

Things are now going to a new level—the anointing, the power to love, the prophetic—and healing is here!

We have the prophetic words from the Lord and two very accurate prophets and apostles.

I am about to be released as a prophet of deliverance with the deliverance level of Bob Jones! Also, a double anointing as a healing revivalist!

That indicates that we will be traveling and doing live meetings again, but we will also still be online. Part of the prophetic word from Cindy Jacobs is that we are also going to get double repayment!

*The Plan Of Re-firement*

Linda and I need to take some time to rest. We have not had a vacation, and we also need to continue with the healing and preparation for the season ahead. We also need to move from our house in West LA and get repayment for all we have sown into the Kingdom of the Lord.

If our ministry has blessed you in any way, consider making a special, 21st anniversary donation, or become a monthly Partner with us

We are not going away! I will still be releasing the *Daily Prophetic Words* and other words, but we need a financial boost to get us safely into the next season!

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. Thank you to all of those who partner with InLight Connection and give on a regular basis. You are holding their arms up in the spirit right now, and they are truly grateful.

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!

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!
