Daniel 7:14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Isaiah 9:6-7 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
Revelation 2:19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
About two months ago, we entered into the Jewish New Year, on the Day of Awe: Rosh Hashanah. God’s calendar is the calendar of Israel. He set the dates, times and seasons for a reason, and we would be wise to begin to seek understanding on those things. So in the Jewish calendar, this past Rosh Hashanah began the start of 2011, as we figure it. On that very day, I noticed a significant shift in my business and in my personal interactions. At around the same time, the Lord began to speak to me about 11. It seemed like every time I was looking at the clock, it said 11:11. I began to ask the Lord what the significance of 11:11 was. Since then I have heard Patricia King teach on this, with the significance being 2011 is a year for 1000-fold multiplication. Her teaching on 11 lined up with what I had been experiencing. But there was another component that the Lord began to show me.
I was at a 2-Day Gathering with Jason the weekend that the Lord began to speak to me about 11:11. I began to do research into 11 in the scriptures. Prophetically,11 is a number for apostolic un-fullness. After Judas was killed, there were Eleven. Incomplete. So they added Matthias. Twelve again. Fullness. 12 is the number for Government.
The weekend that this was happening was the first weekend after Jason and the team had just returned from England. On that trip, God had downloaded some things to Jason dealing with government and kingly anointing. So, all of these things were coinciding in the timing of God. Rosh Hashanah breaking into the new year 2011, the Lord speaking to me about 11:11 and apostolic un-fullness, and the download into Kingdom Reality of new mantles and revelation on Government and Kingly anointing in the Body of Christ. So on Saturday morning as I was riding to the meeting, I looked at the clock: 11:11. Later on that night, in the meeting, the Lord was moving powerfully. I knew that God was going to release something very significant that night. Then Jason got up and began to talk about the crowning of the kingly authority and anointing that he had received in England, and how the Lord was releasing that same thing in that meeting. Right at that time, I got up to go check my phone because I was expecting a message from Laura. I picked up my phone as I asked my buddy the time. He said, “11:11″, just as I was picking up my phone and looking at the clock. It said 11:12. And when I saw that, I knew that it was not 11:11, but it was 11:12. I knew that that night was a night of a beginning of transition from the 11 of apostolic un-fullness to the 12 of the fullnesss of the government of God. We went on in that meeting to receive a kingly crown and anointing, and it was the beginning of something wonderful.
We are in the midst of a kingdom. This kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and the increase of God’s government is never ending. It is 2011 right now, and Bob Jones is famously documented as declaring that 2012 is a year when the apostolic government of God will be in place. We live in a day of such shifting in history as things are being brought forcefully and swiftly into alignment with the purposes of God, and we have the opportunity to hear the call of God and to jump into the battle. This is the most fertile age history has ever known. There is such an acceleration in God, and we have the opportunity to cast off everything that hinders and to throw our whole selves into the pot. And when we do, we will reap such a harvest of our lives, that the seed that was sown will pale in comparison. Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains but a single kernel. But if it dies… it produces such a harvest, such as the world has never known.
This next year will be one of great advancement in apostolic establishment, and governmental increase in the Kingdom of God. We are in an age when, truly, the kingdoms of the world will become the Kingdom of our God. God is positioning his people in places of great influence and authority. Over the last year, we have seen the Lord bring about so many amazing signs and wonders, and we have seen kings and rulers of the world come to the brightness of our rising. In Jason’s travels, the Lord regularly opens up face to face meetings with world and governmental rulers, people with real, significant power over nations and world systems. And he is put in a place to be able to speak the word of God to them, to outline the ways of the Lord in righteousness and justice, how their nations can make changes to come into alignment with heaven and so to enter into the blessing that was predestined for them. How to come into their inheritance. This is what the Lord is doing, and of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
This reformation taking shape in New Zealand is a piece of the puzzle. Laura and I will be right in the middle of it next year. As she said in her last post, it looks like we will be over there helping to steward that movement for much of the year. It looks at this point like we will be there for six months. During that time, we will be teaching and equipping, training people in the things of God, and taking people out on the streets to preach to the lost and win souls. Then we will be teaching and equipping the churches, working with area leaders and pastors to help establish the work for fruit that remains. Not just revival, but reformation. We are running full speed into the hour of God in this generation, and this is just the beginning. After 11 comes 12, and that will be awesome. We have not seen anything yet, but it is coming.
Laura and I are basically raising one year’s worth of ministry expenses. We are going to be traveling, and we may not be able to work very much. I know that I will have to take a year off from my business, and we need to cover our living expenses, food and lodging, etc. If you would like to contribute to our next year of ministry, we would be greatly appreciative. We need to raise about $35,000 for the year. If you want to partner with us in this work, please contact us. My email is blake.henderson@ymail.com Laura’s is laurahenderson@ymail.com. We love you all so much. Please pray for us and for what God is doing. And connect with us also. This Kingdom is coming together. It is not in factions but it is all coming together. We will see. Peace!
