When forerunners announce the word of the Lord, the second that happens is a remnant of God’s people start thinking differently. YOU are the remnant, not the majority. God never brings a movement with a majority because the majority cannot see it until it starts to happen. There will come a point when many will jump in and many people will be involved. But there is always a forerunning company, usually smaller, that God uses who will see what God is seeing in the Spirit and take the necessary course of action to bring it about. A remnant will discern and say, “Something is happening here – and we’d better get busy birthing in the Spirit what God is saying to us.”

Throughout history, God has consistently worked through the minority.

God made Abraham into the father of nations.
God brought forth Israel from a wandering deceiver named Jacob.
God orchestrated deliverance for the world’s most powerful nation at its time through a foreign slave named Joseph.
God rescued a nation from genocide by the courage of a little girl named Esther.
God reduced Gideon’s army to a meager three hundred men to defeat multiplied thousands.
God handpicks twelve men to birth his church, one hundred and twenty to usher in his Spirit, and a handful of followers to change the world.

God works through the minority.

Currently, it may seem like there is only a minority contending for an awakening in the earth. By the natural eye, it would be easy to assume that not many are seeing what God is doing “behind the scenes”. Furthermore, the remnant of those who are paying the price in the place of fasting and prayer feels way too small. Take heart. In the economy of the kingdom, sometimes less is more. As forerunning voices continue to announce what God is saying and doing – the remnant will increase. The message of awakening and reformation will resonate in more hearts, and consequently, the water level of intercession will rise. Choose to be a part of that intercessory minority. Choose to be a part of that reformation remnant.

In Christ’s Love,
The Awakening and Reformation Tour

Matthew 3:1-3 – “In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, “A voice of one calling in the dessert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”

An Awakening must be announced. In fact, whatever God is doing must be announced. He always starts announcing it before it comes in its fullness. God never waits until it is there and everybody knows it and starts talking about it. God always starts to talk about what He is doing before it is really seen outwardly. Like Elijah who said, “I hear the sound of an abundant rain,” when there was no sign of it yet. The only sound you could hear was in the spirit. In fact, he prayed seven times in deep travail before he even saw a cloud the size of a hand. The point is – there was nothing to see. There was nothing in the natural realm to look at and say, “God is about to send the rain.” And if you look around you in America today, unless you look with spiritual vision, you won’t say, “Revival is imminent.” You may say, “Destruction is imminent.” But I’m hearing a sound and many of the people that run with me in the apostolic and prophetic movement are hearing a sound of rain. He always sends a “John the Baptist” message to get people ready.

Announcing does two things. First off, it literally changes the atmosphere. And God said, “I want you to go across this nation with a team of people and I want you to begin to say, ‘Awakening is here!’ ‘The Spirit of Awakening is in the atmosphere.’” No one really knew that Jesus was on the scene when John started saying, “Repent, the kingdom of heaven is in your midst.” But God needed someone to announce it. And when we begin to announce and decree these things it does something in the realm of the spirit. It creates an atmosphere that allows God to do what He’s getting ready to do.
