Remembering the Goodness of God

There is a lot happening right now and we are in a major “times and seasons” change.

November 24, 2022 • Doug Addison

*A New Season Is Here*


There is a lot happening right now and we are in a major “times and seasons” change.


*He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.* Daniel 2:21 NIV


God is preparing for a major time of healing and refreshment.


The Lord is going to give you some directions and instructions, so keep watch and let go of the past so you can take hold of this new season. 


New assignments are being released from the Lord.


*See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.* Isaiah 43:19 NIV


*A Drink Of Refreshment*


The Lord said, “I am opening the heavens over you. I’m releasing you from the wilderness and into a time of refreshment.”


Watch for plans, strategies and ideas to unfold.


God is raising up a new sound from Heaven that will open up things for you.


We are on the verge of a huge breakthrough!


Let’s take a look at 1 Samuel 7:10–13.


Later, the Ark of the Covenant (Israel’s power source in battles) was stolen by the Philistines.


Twenty years later, the Philistines were about to attack Israel again, but the prophet Samuel built an altar and sacrificed to the Lord. He began worshiping God and praying in the midst of the battle.


*While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites. *

1 Samuel 7:10 NIV


The Lord thundered and changed things, and the Israelites were able to defeat their enemies even though they were outnumbered!


*Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far has the Lord helped us.”* 1 Samuel 7:12 NIV


The stone set up by the prophet Samuel commemorated Israel's victory over their biggest enemy. It was a divine reversal of Israel's defeat twenty years before. And the Philistines NEVER invaded them again.


It was a new beginning.


Quite often in the Bible they set up rocks to remind people of what God had done.


Why I Am Thankful


Even though this has been a trying year, the Lord has done amazing miracles in my life, Linda’s life and our ministry.


I want to testify of the goodness of the Lord and all that He has done.


I continue to be healed and set free of chronic illnesses!


I have been healed of the symptoms of Huntington’s disease, Lyme disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, extreme adrenal fatigue, stress and anxiety. Also, my eyesight has improved. I no longer use reading glasses! I have also been healed of tinnitus that I've had all my life.


My energy and strength have returned and I’m able to travel again.


I am the closest with the Lord that I’ve ever been. I’m also the most accountable to leaders, and Linda and I are close.


A Time Of Healing


Everywhere I go, people come up to me and thank me for getting them through a difficult time. People are getting healed physically, emotionally, spiritually and relationally!


The Lord has been taking me into a time of deeper inner healing.


We have invested a lot of money for my personal healing and the Lord is bringing us to an end of a 7-year assignment here in Los Angeles/Hollywood.


Linda and I have invested over a half a million dollars in rent to be part of this assignment. We do not live in a mansion; the rent has just been crazy. We are in our 60s and we sold our house in Santa Maria and put it all into the vision the Lord gave me over 10 years ago.


This has also allowed me to shift from traveling to live events to doing online training and ministry. We are now a nearly 100% virtual ministry and we are having the most amazing impact. When the pandemic came, we were already positioned to help others in the process.


Refire And Not Retire


It is our 22nd year of ministry, and the Lord is calling us to regroup and get a greater vision for what is ahead.

Linda and I need to take some time to refresh and complete my healing. I will still be releasing my Daily Prophetic Word and my InLight Connection team will keep things moving for us.


Financial Boost


We need a financial boost to help us move out of the old season and into the new. If my ministry has helped you in any way, please consider sowing into the Break Out Blessing to help us make this transition. When you give, we’ll not only pray for you, but help equip you for your blessing. As a thank you for your donation, I’ll send you some of my best financial breakthrough resources to help you too! 


Blessings,

Freedom from Hidden Shame

March 7, 2024 • Doug Addison

Doug is currently on sabbatical, so we have an excerpt from one of our live Zoom calls for Partners. If you want to become a Partner and gain access to future live Zoom calls (as well as past calls in their entirety) go to http://dougaddison.com/timeoff for all the details.   Dan Duval of Bride Ministries gave a powerful message about shame to our Partners. Afterward, he led us in a deliverance session. There were tears, and many people were set free! Here are some notes from the call:   Dan started out by saying that many of us may not realize how much the enemy has tampered with our identity. Most of us just wake up and go about our day, not realizing that he tries to skew our heavenly identity provided by Jesus. Our experiences in this earth have filtered our ability to connect with our identity in Christ.   We have the promises given to us by God, and we are being transformed over a lifetime. As we engage with that process, some people encounter a lot of hurdles. Some have more hurdles than others. If you sit down with many people and hear their story, you would not believe what they survived.   Most people are wrecked by shame, and they don’t even know it. Shame is the cause of many things that people are struggling with.   Dan continued by teaching about one of the major enemies of God in the Old Testament—Molek. Molek is a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifices.   Dan read Leviticus 20:1–5 to give us context:     The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. The members of the community are to stone him.  I myself will set my face against him and will cut him off from his people; for by sacrificing his children to Molek, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. If the members of the community close their eyes when that man sacrifices one of his children to Molek and if they fail to put him to death, I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off from their people together with all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molek.   Dan said that the idol of Molek basically functioned like a grill. People set a fire within the idol, and then they would place their children on the outstretched arms of the idol. This was a horrific offense to God, and the fact that His children would do such a thing was an abomination.   As you go through Israel’s history, you learn some sad things such as, when Solomon descended into rebellion, he actually built a high place to Molek. Can you imagine? The same man who built the temple goes on later to build a place for Molek (1 Kings 11:7).   Dan told us that there is a fascinating study on what the name Molek means. It actually means “King of Shame.” So, you end up with this prophetic symbol that the children of Israel were turning to the “King of Shame” for their demise.   And now, for many Christians, shame has been exalted over their identity in God.   Many can’t connect with what God has called them to and they can’t step into confidence. They have many hurdles because of hidden shame. Shame is one of the greatest enemies of the children of God!   Shame is the painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior. Many people carry shame … and shame needs to go!   Dan urged us to hold before the Lord whatever was coming up regarding shame.  He said that we get the opportunity and privilege of surrendering the things that God does not want in our lives.  Jesus will help us let it go! He will deliver us from every evil spirit in and around our environment that has been smashing us and hindering us by creating obstacles to the plans and purposes of God.   Next, Dan asked us to just take a moment to meditate with Jesus on what’s coming up.   Prayer:   Lord Jesus, what are You bringing to the surface? Just show me. Show me where I have broken agreement with Your heart for me, for my life and for those around me. Where have I accepted false labels? Embraced self-hatred? Taken my identity from failures and cycles of bondage . . . instead of my heavenly identity in Your finished work?   Show me, Father God. We come before You today in the mighty name of Jesus. We thank You that You are faithful. You give us promises. You are the healer. You are the deliverer. You are the good shepherd. It is written that the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, need or have lack of anything. You make me lie down in green pastures. You lead me besides still waters and You restore my soul (Psalm 23).   We come before You today to confess hidden shame . . . shame that has been harbored in our hearts … in our subconscious, in our minds. Shame about our performance, achievements, our bodies, our ability to walk in freedom, our intelligence … shame regarding things we've done in the past that weren't right … shame from things we shouldn't be doing now which is holding us in cycles of behavior that do not please You.  We confess shame and we repent.   We repent because we do not need to be defined by shame. Shame must be dethroned in our lives! We change our thinking, and we renounce shame and serve it a bill of divorce!   Thank You, Jesus, that You are taking those hidden things of shame right now!   Because it is written, “Instead of your shame there shall be double honor” (Isaiah 61:7), I declare that every evil spirit that has been at work in and around my life as a result of shame is now being bound, pierced and thrust out for judgment to where the Lord Jesus sends them!    Lord God, I thank You that Your Holy Spirit takes the opportunity to impart truth where there have been lies. Holy Spirit, show us Your perspective of who we are.  I thank You, Lord God, that we are washed today by the water of Your word. Thank You for garments of righteousness, garments of praise, garments of salvation … And I thank You that this freedom is sealed everywhere Yahweh is. Amen.

We Are in a Full Circle Season

March 1, 2024 • Doug Addison

In this special excerpt, Tony Kim shares some insights on what might be going on if you are seeing patterns from your past. The Lord is doing a new thing!   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 athttps://dougaddison.com/timeoff/http://dougaddison.com/timeoff   Tony Kim started out by sharing that we are in the Hebrew calendar year 5784. This is the timing of God and the fullness of God.   One of the things the Lord has been speaking to Tony about in this season is the full circle season. If we understand God’s ways AND the ways He advances us, we will start to see a heavenly pattern.   We’re not called to live from our past OR our present, we are called to live from our future! As a prophetic generation and a prophetic people, we are called to live FROM the future TO the future. This is often the way God moves us forward.   As we are advancing, we can sometimes see what seems to be our past before us.   We have to understand that when God advances us, He’s not leading us in a linear, straight line. Tony commented that He sometimes wishes the Lord would lead us that way because he likes formulas, systems and structures.   But the Lord is not like that. God does not lead us in a linear “Greek mindset.” In fact, the way God moves is circular. Within these circles, we sometimes see ourselves facing the past again.   Just because you’re facing the past does not mean you are going backwards. Oftentimes we have to go backward so we can move forward.   Many people find themselves in that space right now—they feel like they’re going backward, but God is preparing us for a new trajectory … to be launched forward with acceleration, breakthrough and recovery.   We’re in a season where we can recover and pick up some things God intended for us from the past.   In this season, there’s a grace for us to go through past seasons again . . . for us to get the anointings and blessings that the enemy stole from us in the past.   We are coming out of a “cocoon” set of years.  God is shaking up way more than the enemy could ever shake up. When the enemy shakes things up, it’s for destruction … but when God shakes things up, it’s to bring us into perfect alignment with what He’s doing in the Kingdom. The Lord takes all the things that are in chaos and brings them into alignment with His plans and purposes.   Tony also commented that we are in an Isiah 60 season. In Isaiah 5:20 it says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil …” Woe is a very strong word in Hebrew. The prophet Isaiah is saying, “May God root out these types of people.”   Our warfare is not against flesh and blood; our warfare is in the spirit. We need to be constantly reminded that if we fight the wrong battle or the wrong war, we might give the enemy a foothold within our territory to come and take us out.   Tony reminded us to forget what the news is saying and tune in to the news of Heaven. He heard the Lord say that He is calling His people to a sabbath season. Tony also heard the Lord say that we should stay attuned to His voice.

Returning to Our First Love

February 15, 2024 • Doug Addison

  In this special excerpt, Bonnie Jones shares how the body of Christ is ready to receive her first love. The veil of deception has been removed from the mind and it’s been replaced with the Spirit of Truth!     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 mentioned that over the years she’s prayed many times for people when they're having difficulties, and most of the time their problems or issues are rooted in unforgiveness.  People may feel like they have all kinds of pressure coming against them, and many even complain of physical ailments. As soon as Bonnie places her hand on them, the Lord typically shows her that the person is dealing with a veil of deception on their mind. So, that is a prayer and deliverance strategy. However, the person can choose to take back the veil of deception.   A real veil of deception has come against the body of Christ, but the Lord has removed that and has replaced it with the Spirit of Truth.   It's so important we stay in the Word and gain understanding.   Bonnie remarked that, “The bride of Christ will abandon everything to be with her first love, for He is all that truly matters to her! He will be the only focus that she has. He is her beloved.”   Bonnie showed the cover of this year’s Shepherd’s Rod. The Lord spoke to Bonnie in a dream and showed her a young man who represented her first love. This young man was in a military uniform, so the cover of the book represents that. And in her dream, nothing was going to keep her from running to her first love. This is how the bride of Christ is … and should be.   When the Bride sees Jesus, nothing is going to prevent her from being one with Him.   Bonnie then talked about how different people can represent different things in dreams. Sometimes Bob Jones represents the Holy Spirit in her dreams and sometimes her first husband represents the Father. Sometimes her mother represents the Church, and her sister represents wisdom.   Tip: Pay attention to how God speaks to you and write it down. You will be able to connect the dots as your history with God grows. It’s an adventure!     Bonnie continued with these comments:   We are returning to our first love, and it's going to be like nothing we've ever experienced before.   The Lord wants face-to-face encounters with His bride!  InLight Connection thanks Bonnie Jones for sharing her heart with us.
