Prophetic Words
2012 A YEAR OF DISCOVERY by Bill Burns -- Part 1:
2012 will become known as a year of discovery. As we begin to
live under the rule of God's divine government, the mysteries of
the end of the age will be revealed. The hidden manna (the
mysteries) will be given, and revelation of God's purposes will
come forth (Revelation 2:17).
The establishment of God's government, which will lead to
discovery, will begin with a season of recovery.
The Trumpet: I say unto you, truly, truly, that this is
the day of recovery, so rise up with hope renewed. Gain
access into My goodness. For, surely I will restore that
which has been stolen. I have come to set My people
free, and I continue in the process by restoring them
from time to time when it is necessary. Receive today
the power of restoration and let the spirit of the
living God now invade your spiritual space; let it over
take you; let it embrace you.
Divine Government
The Trumpet--October 3, 2011: I prophesy to you that the Feast
of Trumpets will birth a new season that will come into full
manifestation and go forth in great strength into 2012. This
will be the beginning of God's government becoming very, very
apparent to us. The blessings of that government will come when
we are living under His rule.
Go forth with great joy, for indeed these are the days of
the manifestation of My kingdom. In these days the reality
of a supernatural church will begin to be understood in the
land and will be according to My purposes, says the Lord. It
is My will for My people to live in the glory of the
supernatural realm. The supernatural events that you desire
to see will become a reality, which will establish you in a
greater measure of faith than ever before. So, arise and
come forth into kingdom purpose, says the Lord God Almighty.
Divine government will be the result of establishing the
kingdom. God's rule will begin in 2012. Twelve has
always been the number of God's government; this has
been established in scripture and by divine pattern.
God's government began with the twelve tribes of
Israel and continued in the New Testament with the
designation of the twelve apostles. The rule of God
and of the Lamb (Revelation 22:3) will be in place
for eternity. Again, the number 12 is found in God's
eternal city, the New Jerusalem (Revelation chapter
21).
The city has 12 gates and 12 angels at the
gates. The names of the 12 tribes of Israel is
written on them. The wall of the city has 12
foundations with the names of the 12 apostles on
them. The city is 12,000 furlongs in length,
breadth and height, and there are 12 precious
stones on the foundations of the wall of that
city.
The Vision
On January 1, 2012, the Lord gave me this scripture:
Habakkuk 2:1-3 I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
When I read this scripture, I knew that it had to do with
God's divine government, and I knew that it would be
progressive in nature-not all at once. However, the vision
is for an appointed time (2012).I then saw the beginning
manifestation of the kingdom and that it would be as it was
in the beginning of the rule of the King of kings.
Luke 2:41-42 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every
year at the feast of the passover. And when he was
twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the
custom of the feast.
Luke 2:46-47 And it came to pass, that after three
days they found him in the temple, sitting in the
midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking
them questions. And all that heard him were
astonished at his understanding and answers.
Jesus at age 12 went into the temple (place of
government), and the scripture says He was in
the midst of those there-on the third day.
Hosea 6:1-3 Come, and let us return to the
LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
After two days He will revive us; On the
third day He will raise us up, That we may
live in His sight. Let us know, Let us
pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going
forth is established as the morning; He will
come to us like the rain, Like the latter
and former rain to the earth.
As we come completely under His rule, He
will come to us, lead us, and guide us
by His Spirit. He will reveal that which
is hidden. (Isaiah 48:6) We are in the
third day of Christ, who is establishing
His third-day government over His
people. Habakkuk says in 2:3 that at the
end, the vision will speak.
Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh
angel sounded: And there were loud
voices in heaven, saying, "The
kingdoms of this world have become
the kingdoms of our Lord and of His
Christ, and He shall reign forever
and ever!"
So the end time (third-day
government) rule of Christ will
begin in 2012 with a season of
recovery, and then discovery as
our King reveals the mysteries
of the end of the age to His
people. The manifestation of the
kingdom will be progressive and
become complete when Christ
returns to set up His physical
kingdom here on earth.
Signs In The Earth (Acts 2:19)
The sign that is visible regarding the need for divine
government was given in 2011. The protests and uprisings against
governments around the world have taken place, from the Arab
Springs uprising to the Wall Street protestors in the USA. It is
clear that the governments of men are ineffective. Even the
congress in our country is dysfunctional. The world needs divine
government and the Church does also.
First the natural signs, then the spiritual signs will
follow. The scripture declares the spiritual reality of the
rule of God over His people.
Revelation 19:15-16 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp
sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He
Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself
treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a
name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
The Resistance
Satan will fight against the establishment of God's government.
The battle is going to heat up. This is the season that the
prophet Jeremiah spoke about.
Jeremiah 12:5 "If you have run with the footmen, and they
have wearied you, Then how can you contend with horses? And
if in the land of peace, In which you trusted, they wearied
you, Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?"
Horses represent spiritual power-in the Church apostolic
power and in Satan's kingdom the power of darkness.
The floodplain of the Jordan is historically known
as the battleground between Israel, or God's people,
and their enemies.
The horses that Jeremiah talked about represent
the rulers of darkness that the apostle Paul
identifies in:
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against
flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
If the footmen (lower level demons) have
worn God's people out, how can we
contend (war) with the rulers of
darkness in the heavenlies (spirit
realm)?
The Victory
Unless the Lord helps us we will not have victory over the
rulers of darkness. However, the Lord will help us. He will
empower us for warfare. He will lead us in victory because it is
written:
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us
in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance
of His knowledge in every place.
The Lord of Hosts will also reveal the plan of the
rulers of darkness to His people. The promise He has
given for 2012 is found in:
Isaiah 45:3 I will give you the treasures of
darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That
you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your
name, Am the God of Israel.
The total of the number of this scripture is 12,
and the treasures of darkness will provide the
Lord's instruction for war and will also reveal
Satan's plans for the rulers of darkness.
The Lord's horses represent apostolic power
for war (Revelation 19:11-15). Apostolic
power for war will come to the Church under
God's divine government. Zechariah 10:1-3
tells us that at the time of the latter
rain, which is in the third day of Christ
(Hosea 6:3), the Lord will make His people
as "His royal horse in battle."
The royal (kingly) horses will defeat
the rulers of darkness and put them to
shame.
Zechariah 10:5 They shall be like
mighty men, who tread down their
enemies in the mire of the streets
in the battle. They shall fight
because the LORD is with them, and
the riders on horses shall be put to
shame.
Victory is assured by the word
of the Lord and the sign in the
earth, which was released on
Christmas Day, the movie with
the title of "War Horse."
God's divine government will
be established in a time of
intense spiritual warfare.
The good news is that we win
if we fight the good fight
of faith.
