Each New Years Eve, the Tent of David comes together to hold a prophetic watch to declare what we have received for the coming year. Each person is asked to seek the Lord prior to the watch and come prepared to share what God has been speaking to them. It is our firm belief that no one person has the complete word for the year, and as the whole body shares, a corporate word begins to come forth. The Sunday before the New Year’s Eve watch began with a whole lot of revelation as we reviewed the word for the previous year. It has been really interesting to see that what we declared last year has been coming forth from different prophets for this year. We started by saying that we were entering through a new gate in 2008. Then in February, we went to Israel and prophetically walked through the New Gate in old Jerusalem to decree that new gate open. Many things occurred last year to confirm a number of the words that came forth, but I believe that the opening of the new gate opened us into the prophetic season that we are now in.
Tent of David Word for 2009
An Ancient Gate is now opening
We believe that the way is being opened for ancient anointings to come forth. The new gate opened the way for the ancient gate. Ancient keys are going to be given to open ancient gates. A couple of days before we had our Sunday watch prior to New Years Eve, a friend sent me a picture that he had taken on a prayer journey. There was something about that picture that was very compelling. It showed a natural stone gateway with a set of mountains in the background. We took it to the Tent for the Sunday watch and immediately a prophetic anointing came on everyone. We felt God say that there were anointings that have not been seen for many generations that were being made available to the body of Christ if they hunger after them. Immediately after this, we found ourselves praying that the sleeping giant called the Church would awaken and come into her anointing. When I sent the picture to a friend in Israel, without mentioning anything about what we had received, she said that all she could see was a sleeping giant.
We also felt that we had been using the ancient key that we got in Jericho last year to take all over Canada to prophetically open things in the Spirit, but that this year we were to take the ancient key that we got inside old Jerusalem, which is smaller, to be the key we use this year. Suddenly one of the members of the Tent came up and asked us to open the gift she had brought for us. The gift was a book entitled “Little keys that open big doors”!
It is the year of Fresh Oil that is a mixture of many previous revivals
About a week before our prophetic watch, I received a call from someone I had not spoken to for a number of years. She told me that God had been speaking to her about getting oils from four revival spots and mixing them together and then anointing the four corners of Ottawa for revival. The four places were North Battleford, Saskatchewan (the place of the ‘48 Latter Rain revival), Pensacola, Toronto and the Hebrides. She and husband got oil from the first three places and then found out that Dan and I had been to the Hebrides several times. She asked if we could find a way to get some oil from that place. This triggered an amazing download of prophetic revelation between the two of us. She had no idea that on Rosh Hashana I had felt led to give everyone who came to the Tent of David a vial of different oils from Wales mixed together. I didn’t know the full meaning of it other than I felt that 5769 (the Hebrew year) was to be associated with these mixed oils from the place of the Welsh revival.
Someone else talked about a vision of a drop falling into a large pool. The rippling effect spread throughout the nation. She saw a drop of the mixed oils(from the revival sites) drop into this large pool. She believed it was Ottawa and it flowed out to the rest of Canada in a rippling effect.
It is the year of the Wise and Foolish Virgins: It’s time to buy oil!
After I talked with this friend about the oils, I began to seek God about what we were to give as a gift on New Years Eve. I had felt that we were to give everyone a gold coloured coin. When I began to ponder how this fit with the oils, my thoughts went to the wise and foolish virgins who had to go buy oil. I just sort of sat on it but after the Sunday watch, with the word about the sleeping giant, I felt more and more in my spirit that the wise and foolish virgins was a word for the church this year. When I got to the Tent on New Years Eve, the friend who brought the oils was there and when I told her about the gold coins, she was so amazed, because she had given a prophetic word at her church on that Sunday about the wise and foolish virgins! Then a couple of days later, we learned that at the Heavy Rain conference held at New Years at TACF, two speakers spoke on the wise and foolish virgins! We believe very strongly that the Lord is saying for this year that it is time for the sleeping church to wake up and to buy oil. The Bridegroom is on the way! It is the year of choice for the church.
It is a year to cherish and steward the anointing.
It is the Year of the Jew:
This was the next major word that came forth from many sources. A word that was given to the Tent on New Years was that we were going to enter more into being a one new man church and that we were going to lead the way in this region. One person felt that it was a time for the old and new covenants coming together (one new man). He had a vision of a lion with wings and talons of an eagle. This lion was crushing the oppression that was holding us back. The Lord revealed to him that this vision represented the old and new covenants. The Lord bore the Israelites on eagles’ wings when then went out of Egypt (old covenant) and the Lion of Judah goes before us crushing the enemy (new covenant).
Another person came with an envelope with 50 Canadian dollars, 50 American dollars and 50 Israeli shekels. She felt it was a prophetic act of making access for Jews from the USA into Canada. Just a few months prior to this, we had felt to buy a US flag and hang it at the Tent opposite to the Canadian flag. We are not sure of the complete revelation of this but we do feel that the time for the one new man church is now. Another person brought as a gift to the Tent a bell that was purchased in Jerusalem. She said that the ringing of the bell was to tell us to stay focused on Israel. The other interesting thing was that when the friend with the oils came she felt to add some oil from Israel into the vial! There will be an anointing for revival for those places that honor the feasts of the Lord and make way for the one new man.
It is a bridal covenant year for Canada:
This also came from a number of sources. Also, back to my picture friend. The same day he sent me the picture of the ancient gate, he sent me an amazing picture of a rainbow in the clouds over the Canadian arctic that formed a perfect circle. It was as though the Bridegroom had placed his ring over Canada in the covenant rainbow colours. The Bridegroom is coming to an awakened church, who has bought oil and who shines forth in the darkest of nights! Another word was related to the Hebrew letters for this year which were a picture of being yoked to God.
Also for those who walk in obedience to His covenant this year, a holy transformation of the heart will be seen. God will give great favour to those who come out and be separated unto Him.
Someone came with the word CLEAR with several scriptures related to “clear”. These scriptures all spoke of different things, but they all had the sense of purity about them. The Bride will not only shine, she will be clothed in spotless raiment. Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun? Song of Sol. 6:10. Someone else spoke of the purity of His light flushing out those planks/painful things that hindered us from seeing people with His eyes of compassion.
This is a year to take courage and go in an possess the land by force
This word was confirmed over the next few days at a US prophetic conference. There was a real emphasis on going in and possessing our inheritance this year. Those who have been prepared in the desert will “cross the line in 2009”.
The colours for the year are blue, green and yellow.
Blue is the colour of revelation. When we arrived at the Tent on New Years eve, we were startled to see that out of all of the large gothic windows was a beautiful blue light. The whole Tent was shining blue. At first we thought that Dan, who had been there earlier, had surprised us by putting blue lights in the sanctuary. Instead, when we went in we saw that he had forgotten to turn off the projector and the blue light was shining on the wall and filling the place! Later Dan came in and stood up with his word for 2009 that he had written a few days before and said the colour was blue for the year. It’s not surprising that the Tent was looking blue, since this was the night for revelation. A number also said that we would have a clear word that would represent the real prophetic, and that this year the veil between heaven and earth would become very thin.
Other colours that were given were green and yellow. The next day we were watching the Starting the Year Off Right conference with Chuck Pierce and one of the speakers proclaimed that the only thing God told him was that the colour for the year was Green! Chuck then said “The River is Green!” When we thought about that, a blue river mixed with yellow oil becomes green! It’s a river of Oil!!
Once again one of the “clear” scriptures that was brought: Then I will make their waters clear and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah Ezek 32:14.
This is the year of the prophet and prophetic acts:
This word was brought forth and then the Lord confirmed it with so many prophetic acts. So many people were impressed to bring gifts to the Tent that night. One girl brought a picture of an angel blowing a trumpet announcing JOY. Yellow is the colour of joy. This will be a year when we will know the joyful sound. I believe the Lord reinforced so many prophetic acts that night because we were ushering in a year of prophetic acts.
It is a year of signs, wonders and miracles:
The prophetic pictures of things like rainbow circles in the sky will be signs for those who “see”. Miracles will be there for those whose lamps are trimmed with fresh oil.
It is a year to know the honeycomb of the Word.
It is a year to devour the word and even recite the word day after day until it gets into your spirit. A scripture that the Lord has been reinforcing lately is Psalm 23. Recite it. Let Him anoint your head with oil as you do!
It is a year of abundance for givers:
Big givers will reap big harvest. This is not a year to hold back. This is a year to give in the time of famine and to see God’s Kingdom manifest. It is the year of uncommon multiplication. The gold coins that were given this year also spoke of Kingdom abundance being released.
It is the year to release the sound of Faith:
Faith has a sound. There is a God sound of faith that says “Light be”..and light was. It is a reckless sound of faith that says, “We are not careful to answer you in the matter O King, Our God is able to deliver us out of the fiery furnace but whether He does or whether He doesn’t: we will not bow down”.
There is the prophetic sound of faith which releases kingdom power to take cities, regions and nations. It is a faith sound that declares that this is the year for the prodigal to come home, for signs and wonders to break out and for this nation to come into its inheritance!
There is the inner song of faith that that will spring up within you this year: for this is the time to bring forth the capstone to shouts of Grace, Grace! it is the Lords doing! BEHOLD HE COMES! It’s time to buy oil! Let the awakened bride make herself ready!
Many blessings and much favour in 2009
