Have you noticed the number 11 coming up a lot lately?

Have you noticed the increased frequency of the number 11 popping out at you? …On your clocks, in your dreams, in
your everyday life? Have you recently awoken at 1:11 or looked at the
clock and noticed 11:11? I believe that God is telling us to get ready
for some major transition coming to the church and the world. I have
felt this in my spirit for some time now and as I have traveled and
talked with other leaders, many are also sensing the same thing.

11 is the number of revelation and transition. I have been researching
revival and moves of God from the past. I noticed that since Israel
became a nation in 1948, a move of God’s power would come every 11
years or so. You can follow this 11 year cycle back to 1906 Azusa
Street Revival as well.

In 1950, there was an incredible Healing Movement in which God anointed
great healing evangelists like William Brannon, AA Allen, Oral Roberts
and many others. They actually would empty out hospitals and bring the
sick to their tent meeting, and people were miraculously healed.

11 years later around 1961, the Charismatic Renewal movement kicked into
high gear. Previously only Pentecostals sought the fullness of the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit. During this move of God, Methodists,
Catholics, Presbyterians, and many other denominational Christians
began getting filled with the Spirit.

11 years later in 1972, God answered the prayers of many people and sent
the last known revival in America; The Jesus People movement. Hippies
began to get saved and pour into churches everywhere. Unfortunately,
many Christians did not recognize this as being from God and rejected
this move. The hippies forever changed the way we experience church
services by influencing the music and the casual dress (Thank you
Jesus!)

11 years after that in 1983, John Wimber and Peter Wagner came together
and began teaching a course at Fuller Seminary on Signs and Wonders of
God for today (Course MC510). They introduced the idea that the gifts
of the Holy Spirit and the power of God was not just for a few anointed
leaders, but for every Christian who wanted them. This was known as the
3rd Wave Charismatic Movement and started many new charismatic churches
such as the Vineyard Christian Fellowship

Add 11 years and we come to 1994, which was a great move of God called the
Toronto Blessing. The Holy Spirit began to touch people with laughter
and power. Paul Cain had prophesied this to the Vineyard years before
that God was going to visit the Vineyard again when John and Carol
(Wimber) are not. Most people did not understand that this prophesy was
about John and Carol Arnott of the Toronto Airport Church. Millions of
people from all over the planet have visited this church and their
lives have been changed.

If we add 11 more years, we come to 2005. I believe the next move of God
coming will be an evangelistic harvest. God will begin drawing the most
strange and unusual people to Himself. And I would expect that just as
in the moves of God in the past, many Christians will reject this move
because it will be messy. People will come into the church who will
need to be cleaned up. Tattooed, pierced, new age, gay, you name it,
the radical outcasts are about to come to God!

I shared this with Larry Randolph and he had been teaching that 2005 was
the year that will parallel the 11th son of Jacob: Joseph. God spoke to
Larry that a Joseph anointing will pour out next year and bring with it
marketplace and dream evangelism.

This is an exciting time to be alive! We need to prepare for this next move of God ?which I will write more on later…
