We will host our April Barrett Household Gathering on Sunday, April 27th. We will start at 10AM CST. As usual, we will host the gathering both in-person at the Barrett home, as well as simultaneously hosting a Zoom. We will send a Zoom link for the gathering by email to all of those of you who are on our regular email distribution list.
Our March 23rd gathering was a very sweet time of fellowship as well as an important time in the Word. The link to the message titled, "Possessors & Occupiers" is in the upper right section of this page. This message is the third in a series that began in August of 2024. If you haven't listened to it yet (or the three part series) I urge you to do so. And, feel free to share these messages with your relationships.
Melinda and I love you very much. You are always in our hearts. We send you our love and blessing.
As we have come to the end of the first quarter of 2025, I continue to hear prophetic things that are consistent with things that I heard in 2024. I have shared and ministered these things to many sons both in my spiritual household and also outside of my spiritual household in the larger house of God. It has become clear to me that this theme has not diminished and it is still very relevant to the purposes of the Father in this season. The central message that I am referring to has clearly become an "again I say unto you" message that has certainly extended into 2025.
We began 2024 with a prophetic message that came in a dream on the night of December 31, 2023. In the dream, I saw a large concrete bridge between two land masses. On the near end of this bridge there was a gate that was closed. The bridge connected two land masses. The word that I heard as I was seeing the bridge was, "It is time to cross over" and also, "Break camp and advance."
I started ministering that word to sons in my household and it became clear to me very quickly that it was a "present word" for the house of God. I spoke the message publicly in our January 2024 Household Gathering. I am posting this brief note to encourage you to review the January 2024 message in the list of messages on the right side of this homepage--dated January 21st, 2024, and titled, "A Prophetic Word For 2024."
I also want to encourage you to review the series of three messages on this page titled, "The Genius of God." Those messages correlate with the prophetic word given in January 2024 about crossing over. This year I am still asking the sons questions like, "What causes you to hesitate?"; "Why do you draw back?"; "What are you afraid of?"; and, "What would you do right now if you were not afraid?"
Joshua 5:12 speaks to the end of one economy and the beginning of another economy. The economy of the wilderness ended, and the economy of the promise land began. For us, in this season, it is a time of new beginnings. There is a new grace in this new day. What you could not do in the last season, there is an attending grace for you in this season that will enable you to be able to do in this season.
Beloved, I urge you to seek the Lord about how you are to make your calling and election sure. You have a destiny that is written in your book (See Psalm 139:13-16 ESV). Jesus said, "In my Father's house are many mansions"--one of those places is your place. I believe that in this season many will find their place and settle into a rhythm of grace. The body of Christ and the world needs the grace and the gifts that God put into you. Seek the Lord regarding these things. And if you need help and encouragement, reach out to your spiritual father and discuss these things with him. If you are not walking with a spiritual father currently, and so desire, reach out to me and let's seek the Lord together about you calling and your destiny.
I commend you to God and to the word of his grace. I send you my love and blessing,
