We just got back from two weeks in the Netherlands with Beverley Watkins and a quick visit to Warsaw to catch up friends. Marcel van den Berg helped us pack that time with conferences, small groups and individual appointments. It was way more exhilarating than exhausting and we really had a lot of fun. The Lord always clarifies things for me on trips like this; I get ministered to more than anyone else. This was the roadmap for the trip. Here is what I experienced:
\nYoung Lions \u2013 There is a spirit of prayer over the Netherlands and we swam in it. This nation is called to be a gateway to Europe and we found dozens of young lions who got the vision for the next reformation. We opened the Netherland\u2019s book and contended for it. God has already positioned them in places of influence. We left a network of relationships that will be self-sustaining and I believe they have the horsepower to intentionally take steps toward the next reformation.
\nBeverley \u2013 I had lots of time with Beverley Watkins ministering together in the courts of heaven, teaching and in rich fellowship. It was really fun! This trip was an experiment to see if we could marry the concept of Releasing Kings and strategic prayer in the courts. We saw it work at both the individual level and the national level and it all distills down to this simple point. We are being invited to be both priests and kings to accomplish what God has set before us. Let\u2019s define these two aspects of \u201cone\u201d personality:
\nKingly \u2013 are people in touch with their hearts and pursuing personal destiny in their mountain. They carry Identity, initiative, boldness, wealth creation and the heart of the Father. Some of these \u201ckings\u201d are pre-saved, yet God has already positioned them in influence and calling.
\nPriestly \u2013 can hear God daily and are naturally prophetic and seers\u2026 they can see in the spirit! When they encounter obstacles, they can navigate the courts of heaven to see the root and deal with it. They have access to their book via Jesus and they can hear the accusations of the enemy and they know how to respond to both to set the atmosphere of Kingdom.
\nWe are no longer adding intercessors to business as a separate person or function. Business men and women are being invited into their own spirituality. In the same way, those strong in revelatory gifting\u2019s and traditional church ministries are being invited into the culture and into wealth creation. Traditional revival around meetings will come and will still be fun and powerful and full of God\u2019s presence \u201cand\u201d there will be an anointing to carry it into our mountain and bless nations. The real goal isn\u2019t revival, it\u2019s reformation. We are discipling nations and we started by opening the Dutch Book and finding the network who will carry it.
\nGod is answering the deepest cry in each of our own hearts, \u201cWhat\u2019s my role? Please send me too!\u201d You and I are being invited to Kingdom \u2013 co-laboring with our Father to implement a reformation that will bless nations. We are both priest and king, just like Jesus.
