On Monday, May 31, 2016, at 4:00 am, I closed my eyes to rest and quickly drifted into a sweet slumber ONLY to wake up 30 minutes later. I wasn’t the least bit enthused at the thought of getting up, neither was I trying to entertain this notion. On the other hand, I knew that if I didn’t record what woke me up and what I was now seeing I’d soon forget it.
The Struggle is So Real
My spirit and my soul began to fight. My spirit said get up and my soul said but you just went to sleep. Your Soul is a Lurker, always waiting for an opportunity to control your body. The stronger impulse will eventually win and our behavior testifies to this. My soul won or at least temporarily…
I drifted back off into sleep, but it wasn’t long before my spirit roused me up! I mumbled what I remembered and stammered to recall the rest…I was now witnessing what the Lord had whispered to me disappear. I quickly typed the information on my phone and went back to bed.
CONSOLIDATED + FULFILLMENT
Waking up, I heard “CONSOLIDATED FULFILLMENT.” The first definition I saw for consolidate explained it was to make something stronger or physically more solid. I made a mental note, consolidate = strengthen/fortify and kept searching. I found another meaning and this is when things finally began to make sense.
CONSOLIDATE. The act of consolidation is to combine or unite multiple units, naturally, this would make the focus of whatever is consolidated stronger.
FULFILLMENT. Fulfillment is the achievement of something desired and can also be described as the manifestation of a promise.
The phrase “Consolidated Fulfillment” supports the concept that as believers converge, coming together as one in conformity to God, His promises will manifest themselves and swiftly. One of the greatest promises we are expecting right now is a corporate outpouring of His Spirit, this promise comes through unity.
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
After I heard “CONSOLIDATED FULFILLMENT” and attempted to go back to sleep, a colorful vision of the night quickly developed before me.
I saw droves of people running together. They were moving so quickly I could see trails of fragmented light in the afterglow they left behind them. It was hard to determine where they were, but I was able to recognize they were moving through different backgrounds, scenes, and settings.

In an attempt to help you visualize what I saw, it was as if these people were running through different movie sets. They navigated through each season, by each distraction and each obstacle without missing a beat. They breezed through every scene without any apparent effort.
Their attention was fixed and their uniform efforts were undivided.

I also noticed they never turned to the left or the right. I never even saw them speak to one another or speak at all…instead, they looked onward, fixated on what was before them. Their lack of verbal communication demonstrated they were truly one with each other and one with their Maker. (Read more on this UNITY in The Visitation.)
As the fulfillment of His promises approach…
I already see God bringing an unprecedented unity, or at least a oneness revolutionary to my peer group, into believers far and wide, spanning across generations, ethnic backgrounds, and denominations. Much of this is being launched through unconventional resources, like social media and the internet!
I see divisions falling and love, God’s real love pouring down. In the last week, I sensed His love in such a great magnitude I would have to describe it as being tangible. It was like His love was just resting in the atmosphere for anyone who wanted to grab it.
I look forward to seeing an influx of honor returning to the Church, honor expressed for one another and a true reverence for God, He so deserves it. * tears*
I look forward to witnessing bridge builders closing the gap on generational divides and much-needed attention returning to those that are the future of the church.
I look forward to seeing the people of God excel corporately and the continued accelerated advancement of God’s manifesto on the earth.
