I recently had knee surgery, if you see me hobbling around up here. Thanks for your prayers, those of you who were aware of it. It has been an interesting process. While I was still in the hospital, kind of hobbling along, a therapist would come in to see me every day. A new therapist came in one of the days and said you need to adjust your gait. I felt like saying, it is easy for you to say! God had implanted something within my being that I needed to adjust to, and I needed to adjust to a new gait. I needed to find my way in a new step, in a new way, to walk. I had knee replacement, in case you are wondering, and I felt like the Lord said to me, you need a new gait for the new gate that I have opened for you. With the old knee, I had learned to cover what no longer worked well. We girls are good at that aren't we? For a while at least, I could fake it, but it came to a point where I could no longer make it with that old gait. I needed something new. The old had to be cut away and something new had to be put in its place so that I could have a new walk, a new gait, for the new gate God is opening to us.
Dutch Sheets, in 2004, gave us a prophetic message out of Acts 3. He spoke about the gate beautiful, and beautiful means hoar in Greek and it comes from the word hour. Do you remember Dutch's word to us? It means the right hour or the right time. Kairos means the right time for a strategic time. God is speaking to us. We need a new gait for the new gate that He is opening to us at this time, because it is a kairos time. It is a kairos time in history; it is a kairos time for this ministry. It is the right time. It is a strategic time. It is an opportune time and if you go through the right gate, with the right gait, you will get the right results. He is adjusting the gait of Aglow. Aglow is at the right gate, at the right time, to see the right results.
And Canada, I want to say this is your time. This is your time. You have an opportunity that is unprecedented, that you have never had before. God is opening something up to you, Danielle, and you members of the National Board of Canada. God is opening up something to this tremendous gate that He has put in place. It is Canada's hour. It is Canada's hour for the women of Canada to arise. There is a gait God wants to give them. There is a new gait He wants to give you, because He wants you to walk through His gate to bring forth the women of that nation in a mighty powerful way. To awaken them to the times in which we live that He is causing an army of women to arise in this hour. It is a kairos time for the women of the world. God has prepared us for this hour. You are going to see some amazing things happen with Aglow in Canada. It isn't dead. It has been waiting for the embers to be fanned. God is going to cause the ministry to arise, because He has an army of women in that nation. An army of prayer, praying women that need to arise in the nation of Canada to cover that beautiful and that vast region, to stand in agreement with Him for what He intends to do in the nation of Canada. We are so honored and so blessed to be joined with our Canadian friends for this conference. Aren't you blessed? Tell them!
It was in 2004 at our conference where Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Barbara Yoder spoke. It was at the US National Conference. Do you remember, for those of you who were present, that at one of the sessions we were interrupted by an emergency signal and we had to exit the building? It happened two years in a row. I think God is talking to us. After the first time in 2004, there was a powerful prophetic word that came from Barbara Yoder that, even as that emergency went out and said you have to exit immediately, the Lord is saying there is no time left to stay in the old place. There is no room for hedging. There is no room for waiting. The transition is over. Run now, run now, run now, out of the old place. For the minute you shut the door to the old place, deliverance will break out on your right hand, and on your left. For this is the day, this is the year, the time is now, the time is now, the time is now. We have exited that old place, and Canada you have exited that old place. You are coming into your destiny as a nation. The women are beginning to rise up within that nation to cry out on behalf of that nation. Aglow's destiny is before them in Canada. It is an exciting time for that nation.
Chuck Pierce said, I am bringing the girls into the game now. I am going to use women to reverse the curse on the land. You will make great headway in the next three years. Do you know when the third year is up? 2007. You had better be in Seattle. He went on. Then you will break down the defense of the enemy in the fourth - 2008. We have got some exciting things coming. Chuck went on. Don't be afraid to be tackled. Though you fall, you will rise in new strength. You know, some of you have been walking through some really tough things - true? You think, where has God gone?
Last night we met with the Prophetic Council, and it is interesting that in this period of time, it is almost like there has been opposition. But out of the opposition there is arising a strength that will not be put down. Though you fall, you will rise with new strength. I want to declare over you and over this ministry, we have entered a new place. It is a kairos time. It is a place of victory. It is a place of strength, because the very opposition that God has allowed to come into your life, or the things that the enemy has brought to your doorstep, you have allowed that very thing to strengthen you, to shape you, to bring you forth in a new victory, in a new strength. We have crossed the threshold into victory. Don't be afraid to be tackled. Though you fall, you will rise with new strength. And everybody said - Yes! I say to my women rise up. I am calling your number. Get back in the game now. I say to many of you, Chuck went on, who have been sidelined in this past season, I say get your gear on. Have you gotten your gear on? For I am calling you back into leadership within My body. I say the call is upon you, get ready for breakthrough in the land.
I believe God has been positioning Aglow and women for this hour. I believe it has been a defining time for women. God has been moving them into position for a showdown with the enemy, and even as we have felt a shift in the world, there has been a shift in this ministry. There has been a shift in women even though you have been in trouble, difficult times, struggling with painful tough things, you have come out of the fire alive and brilliant and burning and ready for battle. The very thing the enemy feared, the very thing he was trying to take out of you, God has built within you, with new strength, new vigor, new power, and new authority. Women are arising in this hour.
Revelation 12 speaks about the dragon. It says he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. It says he was enraged with the woman. Well, guess what? We are a little enraged ourselves. So get ready for the battle. Get ready to hear the women of the earth rise up to take their stand against you. Goliath is your doorway to destiny. What Goliath are you facing? That is the very doorway to your destiny. Don't leave the battlefield until the battle has been won. We are not stopping. We are not stopping. Our youth is being renewed. Our strength is being renewed. Our vision is being renewed. We have come out of a season of difficulty, but we have come out glowing, strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not our own strength, it is not our own smarts, it is not our own ability that's been renewed. We are coming out in the power of the Holy Spirit. Don't stop half way to where you are going. What is your goal? What is the vision God has put within you? Don't stop short. Don't stop halfway to where He is taking us. It is the Word; I'm glad one person got it. I'm teasing. I know you are getting it. Are you getting it?
