MEETING ON THE MOUNTAIN Prophetic Bulletin from Propheticfire.com November 2001 Previous | Next Meeting on the Mountain is a prophetic group of pastors and intercessors in Cape Town, South Africa, led by Johan Boot. Copyright © 2001 Propheticfire.com During the past six months the Lord has spoken time and again regarding His desire to raise up fathers in the faith. This can surely be interpreted as the restoration of the apostolic authority in the church, but as we have continued to seek the face of the Lord, I believe there is a definite parallel between the generation-Xs and God's desire to reach them through a father's love. This generation is tomorrow's leaders and without the security of the Father's love the winds of the times will direct their paths towards destruction. There are 2 great promises and warnings in Joel and Malachi regarding the generations of the last days. Joel 2:28,29,31 And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. Mal 4:5-6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. Today the Lord is calling the fathers forth. Unless they come forward to father this lost and seeking generation I believe the earth will be cursed. Therefore in every city and nation where men and women would arise and turn their hearts to the coming generation, that city or nation would be blessed. Yet, if the fathers do not come forward, turn their hearts towards this lost generation and give them the Father's love, that city or nation will be cursed by lawlessness, fear and insecurity. I believe that once these fathers have brought security to the body of Christ through their love and steadfastness, the Lord is going to begin to release Joel's army. Much have be spoken regrading the ministry of the believer and the Lord's desire to use all His children is the last days. Yet, unless we have leaders who father and release the next generation this will never happen. Here follow two words received during this year regarding these subjects. Please pray with us regarding the coming forth of these true fathers (even in our own city and nation). The days of the "kings" in the ministry are over. Today the Father is calling His fathers to arise in faith and boldness. Any comments on this subject is most welcome (hopefully also from some fathers?!). Blessings, Johan Boot   Where are the fathers? 1 Cor 4:15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers& (NKJ) Today I am preparing an army to gather in the end-time harvest. This army as prophesied in Joel will be made up of young and old, rich and poor, insignificant and important. I will use all my people in the last days. There is coming a great wind of liberty over my church. I am preparing My bride to stand in her full glory and power, but this will only come as My Spirit will be poured out upon all flesh. I am going to break the spirits of control and fear over My bride and I will shake all standards of false authority in the church. But before the great release of this army of believers, who will march in the power of My Spirit, I need to release the fathers who will lead them in love and humility. Today I am calling many to step into fatherhood. Today I am speaking to many to change their perspective on the ministry. Today I am even shaking the models and moulds of many of my most trusted servants, because I desire for them to begin to father this coming army. The world calls them the lost generation, yet I see them as the generation seeking for the only True One. But where are the fathers who will guide them, give them the confidence to believe in Me, mold their characters, give them hope and show them My true love? Today many desire the titles and authority of an apostle or father in the faith, but they do not have the heart to father. Have you exchanged your heart for My heart? Have emptied yourself of your own selfish ambition? As long as you still want to be ahead of others, you will not allow others to lead the way. As long as you still need the satisfaction of winning your own war, you will not empower your sons. Today I am looking for fathers who will make it their mission to see the next generation succeed, instead of battling for their own significance. Your reward is with me, and your significance shall be magnified by the exploits of you sons. Today unless you will humble yourself and see that it is by my grace alone that you are what you are, you will not step into this great calling. For the fathers that I am raising up will be men serving their sons with grace and wisdom in all humility and love. Trust Me, for this kingdom is mine, and I will pour out My grace upon those who will step up in obedience to My call.   The Release of the Believer The Lord led me to the top of a hill. As we reached the top of the hill, we overlooked a beautiful valley. In the distant was a beautiful city being built. You could see it from a far distant as its towers and buildings were magnificent symbols of men's handiwork. One specific building stood out from the rest. It was still under construction but was much higher than any of the other buildings. "The tower that you see there is the tower of Babel. Men are building a kingdom that will include everyone and everything. They want to centralize everything for as they will stand together they will be much, much stronger. This is the power of unity. Yet there is also great danger in this, the deception of centralized power. Much of My church today is represented by centralized organizations, controlled by the ideas of men instead of Me. Through the centralization of power they are able to exercise control over men, manipulating and steering them according to their own agendas." The church that I am preparing for My end-time move will be under the control of the Holy Spirit, not man. Have I not given My Spirit to all believers equally? Have I not made My home within every believer? Have I not called all of them to share and demonstrate My love to a broken world. Why have you boxed My believers into tiny religious compartments, where they are reduced to listeners and followers of your programs? I am going to bring a new wind over the church across the whole earth. This wind will blow through every church and denomination. The wind will be called: "The release of the believer." I will call the leadership of every denomination and church to stand at the door of the church and when this wind comes, they will either have the choice to allow My Spirit to release My people or keep them boxed into their own religious paradigms. Great fear will grip those leaders who have built their churches by "using" the believers. They will stand and resist this wind with all their might as they will feel the loss of significance and control. They will persecute and speak against this move of My Spirit like nothing you have every seen. Yet now is the time that I will remove the spirit of control from My body. I will set her free from the men that have been misusing My Name in order to establish themselves. The end-time harvest will be harvested by all believers. I will use from the least to the greatest and My power shall be released upon all of them. Yes, your sons and daughters shall be used. Your old men shall be some of the greatest warriors. I am raising up an army of nameless and faceless believers who will be used by My awesome power. My Spirit will be poured out upon all flesh and the world will see Me. Today I am calling My leaders to humble themselves and pray. I have called you to equip the saints for this task. I ask of you to raise up these soldiers and to release them into the work of the ministry. Tell them to "Go and make disciples" instead of "Come and join me". I am calling you to be servants by dressing and equipping these believers for the harvest. Stop dressing and equipping yourselves. Stop making a name for yourself. Serve My body with humility and love, and release them in My power and love, and you will be truly great.   About Meeting on the Mountain Meeting on the Mountain is a prophetic group of pastors and intercessors in Cape Town, South Africa, led by Johan Boot.
