Today Canada is at the gate of captivity. Even the righteous are being compelled to act wickedly, but great intercession is rising. The heart of Canada is in the grip of idolatry, propelled by the media, the marketplace, and government. But God has heard our prayers. Confusion is everywhere, but the Lord has moved his Kings and Princes into places of influence, preparing to deliver the land. From the government to the television networks, from corporations to union halls, Christian men and women are about to experience a wave of spiritual authority to turn the nation to God. The Lord is bringing forth His visions and strategies to position His people for this wave.

What follows is a Divine strategy to reclaim the heart of Canada

We must be positioned for this release.

God will pour forth water onto our dry and thirsty land.

PROPHETIC WORD

Before Pentecost, only Jesus and Melchizedek are referred to as "King and Priest" But this unique identity has come on His body as well. We are all a Royal Priesthood - Royal because we're children of the King , and Priest because we commune with God. In our private lives we walk in this quite easily, praying and ruling our homes for God . But God is showing us that publicly we are more " Priest Like " or "King Like " in our orientation. This is not a ministry office , but an expressions of how we follow Christ in the world. It is like being a 'living stone" built into God's temple. (1 Peter2:4) We are each a stone, but also a temple of God. So it seems we may also be a priest or a king building His Kingdom, even though we are individually "priest-kings".

In the Old Testament the annointing and role for the office of King or Priest was distinct. Priests ( and prophets) were annointed to minister to God and man. They interceded and brought God's word to the Kings and the people. Kings were annointed to establish a Godly society. They conquered enemies, took territory, destroyed idolatry, enforced righteousness and established the house of God in the land. Kings and priests were to work together with divine teamwork, mutual respect and common need. This is God's order for the church to bless the society.

Sometimes the "kingly" ability was seen on Christian businessmen to gather wealth for the church. But God is revealing that a King is more than having a Royal lineage and wealth. The word KING in Rev 1 is "basileus" It means a leader of the people, prince, commander, lord of the land, king. It has at its root the notion of "a foundation of power" This means a Christian with authority and influence is a prince or king in the land. Kings need to see they bring Gods KINGDOM on the scene. This cannot be dismissed because it is secular. The King's realm and authority IS SECULAR - that is, the society at large!

Today's Kings include: statesmen, executives, directors, managers, business owners, members of government or corporate committees, union members, teachers, social service workers, etc, Any Christian with influence needs to see his role. Even the janitor can commands in the spirit while cleaning the office of a politician! Christians are being called to govern by divine power in the social realm. Godly men in the boardrooms of the nation will reshape Canada's heart and establish God's Kingdom in our land.

Today a priestly orientation would refer to those annointed to minister to God and man. The Old Testament priesthood represented only one of twelve tribes, and roughly one in twenty seven people. The priests worked in divine teamwork with the kings in the following ways

Ideally the Priests and Kings had a mutual respect and common need for each other. Each was anointed to fulfill his role. If the Kings ignored the priests they failed, or sinned and led the land into wickedness and captivity. Without the Kings the priests had no provision. Since they had no inheritance in the land they would the ministry and go into servitude. Wicked kings would even cut them off. Canada is heading in this direction now.

For ten years the Lord has been purging His people from the idolatry that grips the heart of the nation. Now, though many are not ready, the next wave of restoration begins is starting. Everywhere in Canada the Lord is setting Christian men and women into places of influence. The ability of the kings and priests is being unveiled and annointing is falling. They link arms and step into the battle. The stakes are high - the possession of the land and the heart of the nation! The Lord summons the priests who anoint and bless them, with Apostolic and Prophetic power at work!

(Two true stories) Here is a politician confronted with the gay agenda. She calls for prayer and a network of intercessors comes into action. This is an idol that must come down! Taking a stand with Holy Ghost power some battles are lost but the tide of public opinion is turned. She is re-elected by a landslide and the spiritual atmosphere of the city advances. Real transformation is taking place. In Nova Scotia a Christian has a vision of removing all pornographic distribution from his home town. Intercessors pray the man takes bold steps. One after another the stores are convinced, and after a protracted battle at the last store they are all off the shelves! On it goes, from union halls to board rooms. Godly influence changes the way business is done. From television programming, advertising, to school boards. The larger the network the broader the effect. Multi networks into the multi-media, multi-cultural landscape takes down multi-strongholds. The strongholds fall, righteousness is promoted, and Jesus is served. Thousands of God's Kings direct the nets, moving with conviction, spurred on with vision and anointing through the prophets and priests. Networks of intercessors bring pull the nets with divine power. Gods great net is being cast upon the waters of Canada! As the heart of the nation is turned, the harvest of souls increases.

The vision is greater yet. God's bessing is not just about being saved. While the net is being cast new anointing and abilities are coming on the body of Christ to bless the nation. Incredible ability in music, television, publishing, internet and media is released and through the kings it flows into the mainstream of the culture. Knowledge is released. Science and technology, medicine, agriculture, inventions and manufacturing, corporate affairs politics etc. to bless the world. Even html language (internet) was invented by Christians!) It must be financed, raised up and poured into the mainstream.

In short, this is revival and blessing the nations of the earth.

Before such a vision can happen the Lord is setting the church in order . Apostles and prophets will lead the end times church, not pastors and teachers. This will release the Apostolic Church to "GO INTO ALL THE WORLD" But there have been few apostles and prophets so there was little vision for the world. Without a vision the church focuses in and we have had disorder.

Those with a Kingly orientation have a Holy Ghost urge to establish the Kingdom, but have been frustrated and unfulfilled in the church. They don't fit "church ministry" (the priestly) but haven't seen their divine purpose. Some enter the ministry to resolve this, but to no avail. They build kingdoms! They impose the ways of Kings on the priests, run the church as a business, and stifle the Holy Spirit. Now God is revealing His purpose and anointing for Kings!

Priests have a deep drive to know God and seek the vision from Him. They seek the Lord out for the flow of the Spirit, in the Kingdom. Frustrated priests chafed under the expectation of the Kings in their midst. They have revelations and vision but no provision from the Kings to carry it out. Many have been unfulfilled and left the ministry for para-church or even secular work. God has been resolving this disorder beginning with the priestly. Apostles and prophets are being raised up and divine vision is being released. Ministry to the Lord is being re-established in prayer and worship. Now the Kings need to see their purpose in the Kingdom. This will bring forth divine teamwork as God leads us into the land.

Last December God began instructing me to "Gather the businessmen, gather the professionals."

The overall purpose will be as follows:

1. To Impart the Vision and End the Confusion Unfulfilled Kings need to understand their purpose in the society and the market place is unique and not less than ministry in the church.
2. To Restore Royal Authority. Teach the principles of God's government in the land, and the Kings divine authority to cause social transformation by the power of God! Ahabs into Jehu's
3. To Know the Enemy To plainly describe the idols of our land, how they operate, how they intimidate the Kings into passivity.
4. To Lead into Repentance To smash the idols, repent of corporate and institutional sin, to break UNHOLY ALLIANCES
5. To Anoint For Battle in the Old Testament the priests blessed the Kings as they went to war. A real anointing is falling.
6. To network kings to the Intercessors and Worshippers and Prayer Warriors. God is calling on the whole body of Christ to join the battle. As the Kings take SPECIFIC TERRITORIES, let targeted prayer rise to the Lord.

Open doors will come to replace the garbage in Canada with all God is releasing in the church.
