eNews – Our Global Prophetic/Apostolic Call

by Kathy Sanders, Director of Strategic Resources and Projects

God has never allowed us to settle. He has not allowed us to get caught in a former dimension. It is as though His hand has been in our back, moving us forward into where He wants us to be. Aglow has a prophetic destiny to fulfill as a leading ministry in the Third-day Great Awakening, and as Jane Hansen Hoyt, former President/CEO, said, “You have been born for this!” 

Internationally known Messianic leader, Asher Intrater, founder of Revive Israel, spoke a word at the 2005 Global conference in Nashville, Tennessee: \

The spiritual destiny of a nation is carried by the remnant of believers within that nation…God’s purpose and destiny for a nation cannot be understood by looking at the unbelievers of that nation. When God looks at a nation, He looks at it like a piece of fruit – like a nut with a shell surrounding it. The unbelievers in the nation are like the outer shell, but we, the believers, are the part God is looking at as the bearers of national destiny. God’s purpose and the destiny for your nation are not found in the outer shell of the unbelievers, but in the core fruit of the believing remnant of the nation!

So, who does God look to in towns or states, or nations, to determine destiny? He looks to the believers! He has entrusted destiny into our hands. He has positioned us geographically and spiritually in the nations of the world. He depends on us to get His heart for our cities and towns and bring His will to earth. That is the definition of a Kingdom call. Aglow’s purpose in the Earth is HUGE! 

Asher Intrater spoke a second message to Aglow in 2009. Near the end of his message, he asked three important questions. 

1. Will you be the warriors, the Bride on this Earth, to invite Jesus back? 
2. Will you be the spirit of Mary and birth Jesus back to this planet again? 
3. Will you accept this Joshua mandate to take possession of planet Earth again? Take dominion over this earth and kick the devil out of here and bring Jesus back? Are you willing to do that? 

Asher’s message is about taking dominion on the earth. On earth as it is in Heaven. He spent a great deal of time talking about the second coming of Jesus and the misconceptions we have about this significant event. Most importantly, Asher spoke about the Bride making herself ready. 

Since 2003, God has spoken to Aglow with a growing intensity about our persona – about our identity – about who we are in Christ and who Christ is in us. In 2008, Graham Cooke delivered a profound prophetic message where God was speaking to Aglow from the future and describing to us what is to come. In 2025, he asked us if there is evidence of our transformation as we become who God has declared us to be in our prophetic words.

A prophetic word is God standing in your future, speaking back to you in the present, telling you who you are becoming. When He gives you that prophetic word, He expects you to take ownership of it in such a way that it becomes as real in your heart as it is in His.

God told us that an upgrade in our identity is coming and that we would become a prototype on the Earth, like people had never seen. God told us that the biggest danger to this new move that is coming is the old move that might still be working. (This message delivered in 2008 can be found in its entirety on the Aglow website, and looking under resources for the conference messages.) 

As leaders in Aglow, we are growing people into the next stage of their identity while helping them see their placement in the new move of God. We are learning to live from a place of abundance and not lack. We are learning who we really are in Christ and what it means for Christ to be in us. We are learning to live from a place of inheritance, and not a place of simply having our needs met. We are learning to walk in the same favor that Jesus walks in with God. We are learning what it really means to bring Heaven to earth.
