‘WINDS OF CHANGE’
TIME TO CROSSOVER TO THE OTHER SIDE!
Annette Marianne Castro

During a recent ‘ABLAZE Gathering’ in Devonport Tasmania,
30 churches, and anointed ministries, joyously CELEBRATED
JESUS on AUSTRALIA DAY WEEK --2023!
The presence of HOLY SPIRIT so filled the Don Centre that all could
sense the excitement and expectation for LONG-AWAITED PROMISES,
(no longer delayed) --BUT SOON FULFILLED!
It was in this atmosphere of CORPORATE WORSHIP,
FAITH and REVIVAL, that I unexpectedly felt a ‘SUDDEN WIND’
that began to blow on my face and through my hair and following
with a sound of an intensifying gust of wind in my ear.
At that very moment I heard the Lord say…. ‘WINDS OF CHANGE!’
Immediately, after hearing this word, I found myself, in a vision,
standing in boat along the seashore of the Sea of Galilee!
(It was the very same region, Jesus performed His mighty miracles, a place
I was familiar with, having visited Israel on several occasions)
My heart was full of wonder and delight, as I felt that the ‘Winds of Change’
had brought about a momentum, propelling the Church forward
in a supernatural way, that only the Spirit of God could do!
As I am standing in the boat along the seashore, I was looking out
towards the Sea and on my right, was series of RIPPLES on the WATER
like waves, moving out strong and steady into the deep.
To my utter astonishment, I found myself SUDDENLY TRANSPORTED
from the seashore into ‘THE MIDDLE’ of the ‘SEA of GALILEE!’
(In the natural, this would have taken hours for any one person to
row a boat to that location, but in an instant, I found myself there.)
It was a SUDDENLY and as I pondered on these things, I knew something
HAD BEGUN! It was later in the evening again in Worship I heard the Lord say,
“Will you let Me take you, to the other side!?”
I knew that my vision-encounter, and this invitation, WERE ONE and the SAME!
MY HEART BURNED WITHIN ME, as it wasn't just for me, but I felt it was
for ALL churches in Tasmania and throughout Australia!
Jesus’ ministry in Galilee was a place of REVIVAL, a place of MIRACLES,
SIGNS and WONDERS, of PROPHETIC-FULFILMENT,
and of the DEMONSTRATION of the GLORY, MAJESTY,
and POWER OF GOD!! No doubt He is bringing us into a season of
WALKING in the MIRACULOUS with JESUS! Exciting times!
Although the Wind brought us only into to the ‘middle of the Sea’,
and yet I did feel that there was SO MUCH MORE!’ Could it be
that the Lord is INVITING US, to POSITION OURSELVES to go
deeper, to go further then we have ever been before!?
To CATCH the WAVE of the greatest MOVE OF GOD of our time!
I believe so, and He is Faithful to take us to the other side!
Highlights the Lord was emphasising.
· Stepping into the BLESSING of CORPORATE UNITY with
other local churches, and MINISTRY STREAMS with humility,
vulnerability, and a teachable heart, to receive HIS EXTENDED GLORY
through HIS GREATER BODY!
Psalms 133 / Philippians 2: 2 / Matthew 18: 19-20
· As WE ENCOUNTER JESUS in WORSHIP, we POSITION OURSELVES
to CATCH THE WIND of HOLY SPIRIT and receive His refreshing, healing
and empowerment, PROPELLING us FORWARD INTO our GOD-GIVEN
DESTINY!
John 4: 23-24 / Psalms 29: 2 / Acts 16: 25-26
· THE RIPPLES on the sea, I feel, represent the GRACE of ACCELERATION,
released to those who with ‘CHILD-LIKE FAITH’, will step out into
the Miracles of JESUS, through FAITH and OBEDIENCE!
Matthew 18: 3 / Luke18: 17 / John 14: 15
PRAYER
“Lord my heart hungers for more! Take me to the other side!”
