Announcements -

We had a very precious gathering on Sunday, August 25th. The Holy Spirit led us in a direction in the Word that is without a doubt a "now word." The recording of that message in posted on the upper right side of this page. The message is titled, "The Gift of Resistance." I believe that this message is both timely and serves to equip us in an area that may quite possibly be a blind spot for many. I urge you to listen carefully to this message.

We will host our next Household Gathering on Sunday, September 22nd. The start time for this gathering will be 10AM CST. In addition to hosting the gathering in person at the Barrett home, we will simultaneously host the gathering on Zoom. We will email a link to join the Zoom to all on our email list. Look for that email sometime during the week of the Gathering. We hope you can plan to be with us then.

Until we see or speak to you next, please know that you are always in our hearts and that we love you very much. :)

New Message -

You will see in the center of this home page a new message entitled, "A Prophetic Call to the Prophetic." This message came out of a dream that I had on March 16, 2024. The messsage in the dream was (is) about the call of God to recognize and deploy the prophetic in this season. In this message, I share about this dream and the body of understanding that came out of the dream. I urge you to read this message and also listen to it's companion audio recording which is listed in the upper right side of this home page. The call in this dream is certainly not limited to the prophetic, and as you will read, there is an encouragement to all of us to engage our respective work deliberately in these times.

I also encourage you to periodically check this site for new messages. As the Lord is leading us along with the bread of revelation, it is my intention to continue to speak and write the things that I am hearing from the Lord. Part of the "re-engage" word that I heard last year involves writing and speaking messages that are current and relevant. "Profitable" (upper right on this page) and "Patmos" are both messages that are well suited for this time. And there are others soon to come. So, check back as you can.

Blessings of grace and peace to you,

Michael

A Prophetic Call to the Prophetic - March 17, 2024

Sometime overnight on March 16th, 2024 I had a dream--

•  In this dream I encountered a young, blonde-haired woman who was very fair complected and had striking blue eyes. Her appearance was somewhat angelic.
•  In the dream I was aware that I was in a city in the Mid-Atlantic that I am very familiar with.
•  The young woman was without a doubt a seer/prophetic.
     o I saw the word “seer” with the first letter being a lower case “c.”
     o I heard that this person was a “c”eer (seer).
     o I understood that she was a different kind of seer—c-eer.
•  As I visited with her, I asked her if she lived in the city we were in and she said, “No.” I asked her where she lived, and she said, “Shreveport, Louisiana.” I felt that this was significant to me personally, because she lived in my immediate area.
•  Being familiar with the city we were in (in the dream) I knew that:
     o The seed of the prophetic had been sown there over many years.
     o The seed of the prophetic had come up in that city.
     o This is a season for that seed to grow and to produce fruit.
     o In the former season the prophetic people in that area had learned how to be in-timate
         but in this season it is the will of the Father for them to learn how to be out-timate.
     o The city in the dream had historically been like an in-cubator, but now would become an
         out-cubator.
     o Part of the significance of this woman being from Shreveport is that Shreveport was also a
         city in which much prophetic seed has been sown over the past few decades.
•  All that I was sensing about moving from “in” to “out” is critical, because it is in the “out” flow that the grace is increased/multiplied and becomes practically beneficial to those who receive the flowing grace.
•  There are details in the dream that have to do with certain individuals that I do not feel at liberty to share publicly, but this dream is certainly and generally significant to the larger body of Christ.
