We are entering into a time foretold by the prophets, a time that we have been anticipating for many years. We are coming into a time of prophetic reformation. God is going to pour out such light upon the hearts of man that it will change the way we see things. In its current state, even though the Church is the body and extension of our Lord on earth, she is in a dark place with principalities and powers floating all around her. Consequently, we really do not have a grasp on the way God sees things. We think He sees it the way we do. However, though eternity is in our hearts, it is not yet in our eyes. The thrust of this prophetic reformation is to help the Church see things the way God does. He is going to open the eyes of the blind. The Body of Christ is far blinder than she thinks she is; and who is blinder than those who think they are not?

God is going to transform His Church starting with her brain, next her vision, and then work His way down to her heart and into the soul.

Can you imagine what it was like to be Jesus, walking the earth in the midst of your own people? They had been raised up under the Name of Yawveh for many generations. Even though he was born of a woman of His own people and lived in the midst of those related to Him by blood, yet He was God and saw things so differently than they did. His knowledge of the Father was intimate, high and holy. It was the knowledge of a Son, who had been in the bosom of the Father and now must walk in a place so full of darkness. The little bit of light that was in the world was due to the light given to His own people by God Himself, and even that light was very little. This could not have been an easy path for Him.

Imagine for a moment what it was like for God to desire so badly to bring life and vision to His people. He wanted to do signs and wonders, heal the sick, raise the dead, restore the maimed and feed the multitudes. Yet, at the same time, He ached to have them understand the depths of their misguided ways when they hungered after the bread of the earth. What is the bread of the earth? Is it not the very things He did: healing the sick and maimed, raising the dead? These things do affect the body, but they cannot touch the soul or the spirit. Knowing man the way He does, He will use the bread of the earth to get their attention because what He wants more than anything is to affect their soul.

A couple of years ago I was sitting in prayer when suddenly I was lifted above the clouds of the heavens where I could see for miles all around me. It was so clear, clean, pure, and holy; it was the glory of the Kingdom – high above any earthly thing, as far as the eye could see. Please understand, I was not seeing the temporal level; rather, it was as far as the eye can see in the realms of God. It was the glory of the Kingdom. For as far as the eye could see there was freedom from bondage, fear, self-consciousness, darkness and anxiety. He spoke to me and said, “All that is Mine is yours when you enter here; Nita, this is where Enoch walked with Me and all that was Mine, was his.”

Some people feel that dealing with day to day problems is more than enough to deal with; they feel like adding the day to day burdens of the kingdom would be far too much for them at this point in time. But I want to tell you that it is in this place that you will find holiness, glory, love and light beyond measure. It transforms your soul and mind and you no longer see things through the eyes of a child that has grown up in a corrupt place. Rather, you will see things through the eyes of faith, glory, and the beauty of God. Your heart would be full of expectation and understanding; all authority and power would be yours and you would know exactly what to do with it once you had it. How can I lift your mind up to such a place? How can I help you understand that this is a place so unlike any other? How can I help you understand how desirable it is? When we look at someone who may be an alcoholic, destitute and living on the streets, some may get agitated and wonder how that person could just throw away their lives. Perhaps they might not think at all; instead, their only thought is where that person is going and what they will do in this life. But when Jesus looks at the alcoholic, He looks deep into the heart and understands why he is there; perhaps through certain unfortunate situations, or maybe because of the choices he made, or perhaps he may no longer want to deal with society. Whatever the reason, Jesus understands the heart, and when He looks past everything else and into that the heart, it is with eyes so filled with love and compassion, lacking all judgment and in His hands He holds the power to deliver anyone who will come to Him. While He looks at such a one, He also sees the glory of the Father and His heart is filled with joy over the call of the Father and at the same time, filled with sorrow over the one who cannot hear. He sees the looming darkness and feels love and compassion for people who cannot understand that life must change and they must be changed in order to be protected from the darkness that is coming.

In Him,
