Prophetic Direction and the Road Ahead

Hi team, as you know, there are good things coming for us! Most of you know my wife Jennifer, she has a huge role at my side on this team. She is as much invested in this team as I am. Below are a few things that have been happening in our lives over the last 5 months. I am posting some prophetic words for our team below, will  add to this over the week,  and  post as God reveals more.   We wanted to share some of this earlier, but we were not sure what this was or where it was going. Just recently, we received some clarity of what all these pieces meant, finally some pieces of the puzzle were coming together. 🙂 I want to challenge you to read through Nehemiah, and meditate on it as we fast this month.
***Looking forward to next weekend, make plans to be there! We will be having a hang out time along with a light dinner provided, with Austin after the 6:00 session on Thursday.***

See you at Church on the Rock at 7:00 for MyHOP tonight!

This past May, the Lord began speaking to me about some things through dreams and prophetic words. It wasn’t until August that we felt it was for the worship team, and just the last few weeks that He’s tied it all together and brought some direction.

It all began with a single word given to me “covenant”, and then a close aunt of mine had a dream that Jeremy and I were pregnant with something. I began having dreams a couple of days later, more dreams in a week than I normally do in a year. The second dream I had involved Eslin ( her family moving in a house with our family) we felt somehow we would be doing ministry together but didn’t know exactly what that would be. Shortly after I shared my dreams with her, she began having dreams and from then on if I wasn’t dreaming, she was , this went on for about 3 months. Some of these were for where God wants Jeremy and I, and many were for the whole team. It’s exciting to see it coming together!

I also want to encourage you to be participating in the simple pure devotion fast coming up this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ve attached some prophetic words from the past you can be meditating and praying about, also be praying about the upcoming worship events. Eslin reminded me of something we talked about over a year ago that has fit in so well with what God is speaking now and it has led us to spend some time in Nehemiah, specifically chapters 8 and 9. The New Living Translation has the dates, October 8, 9 and October 31 as the dates Israel goes through the process of hearing the law, being convicted, responding with confession and worship. This ended with the leaders calling them to worship- “Stand up and praise the Lord your God, for he lives from everlasting to everlasting!” (Neh. 9:5b) It was pretty cool to open up the church calendar and see these dates (or almost, worship arts is actually the 30th) lined up with worship activity!
We look forward to sharing more with you all and want to hear your thoughts and what God has been speaking to you.

FCC Worship Team Prophetic Words and Dream Interpretations

All of these have had an impact on who we are today and we believe they have keys to where we are headed. Spend some time with these and share your thoughts. We look to build a strong and unified vision!

Following are the first few, we will be sharing the rest soon.

• February 2011 –
This is the first and is just a summary of a lengthy word given to Jeremy from Pat Holloaran (much of it was for him personally, so we have not included it all)

We should be singing our own songs, we (worship team) must have purity on the platform, they (team members) must have a right lifestyle, they (team members) must, without exception, honor the leadership, they (team members) must choose not to play for people but for the Lord, worship needs to get the new sound, university age to mid 20’s swarm is coming – get ready.!
• April 2013 Jennifer Saglimbeni (dream) –
Jeremy and I were trying to go to bed and our bedroom was on our back porch which is a very open place- you can even see it from outside our front door. There were people coming in and out of our house-we let them, some even had keys, they weren’t close friends, just acquaintances. Our children were there but there was no concern for privacy with them.

This dream was interpreted for the whole church but in light of some recent dreams and other words, I believe it applies to the worship team today. The worshippers went before, as we grow in this, it will overflow to the house.

Interpretation by Cliff and Marie Weeks for the dream above-
The house symbolizes Freedom Christian Center. The Doors were glass, front and back. Which symbolize, transparency and able to view the whole house. The place where we as a church, currently. People come in and out; they don’t stay or become committed. The “key” is that we are not close with them. It is not a problem of people coming in and out. But there is no privacy, no rest for those of us who are. It is hard to become intimate when people just come in and out of the church. We need the protection of the Lord and Intimacy with one another so that we can be transparent and be covered by the Lord when these people come in and out. And hopefully will want to stay because of the Love, transparency and covenant we have with one another. It reminded me of the word Mike Bickel said that God is calling us to be like Jonathan. The children symbolize the prophetic, which I believe means, the activity will in no way stop the flow of the prophetic. This is good dream and we need to pray for one another as a body to be covered by the Holy Spirit.
• December 2013 (Bridget Hauert) –
I had a dream last night in Jerusalem and in the dream, Adam and I were in Melbourne attending a church service at your church. While worship was going on, there was forward motion in the youth– revival started to increase as we worshipped. As we worshipped more, the number of young people increased in the place. It was as though the sound and duration of worship was causing young people to appear in the place and worship Jesus. You started to speak shortly after worship and the fire of The Lord fell and youth were being encountered by God. More and more of the youth were being set free and started to extravagantly worship God through dance. These were teens that never danced before The Lord before and thought it was strange previous to this service. The place was shaken by the sound of worship coming forth in dance, song, and word.

I know Eddie Tucker had a word the night that we had the Arsenal gathering, particularly for those involved in worship. (It had to do with a new sound and/or new levels, I think.)

Prior to him giving the word I felt like I had a word to be directed to those involved in the worship ministry as well. Just the way the evening played out, however, the opportunity to share that word passed (or I missed it). But in light of this dream this seems like a good time to share the word.
I felt that those involved in the praise and worship ministry REALLY need to pay attention to their walk with God. Being involved in this ministry is not simply about having a good voice or being a skilled musician; it’s a huge responsibility to be used of God to help usher the Body into the presence of the Lord. I felt those involved in this ministry must exercise great care, caution and wisdom regarding their personal walk with the Lord. They must be mindful of what they allow their eyes to see and their ears to hear. If they are already doing this, then it’s time to bring it up a notch. If they are not already doing this, it’s really time to bring it up a notch. I believe God desires a new level of holiness and purity of heart of those serving Him in this area.
When I was hearing the Lord’s heart in all this, I sensed the seriousness of what He was saying. It matters.

It’s not about following a bunch of rules and regulations that will bring about greater purity. Its not about “trying harder”. It’s about guarding their hearts while pursuing greater intimacy with the King. It’s about the whole Ephesians 1:17-19 thing—that spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him….and knowing that His grace is what will enable them to do/be different.!

So, as I read this dream, I see just how powerfully the Lord wants to use worship to impact lives–hearts…To bring people into the Kingdom, to set captives free…. For me, I see the connection between Eddie’s word, this dream and what I felt the Lord showed me.

Just had another thought as I was praying into this dream: as the hearts of those serving on the worship team become more purified, the worship itself becomes more purified. Then you know how “they” say that today’s young people despise hypocrisy and phoniness and that they long for authenticity (in word and action)? Well, as the worship becomes more pure, the young people will sense the purity and authenticity of it and be drawn to engage in it and, voilá–forward motion!
