Glory Advance Conference - Wichita, KS - Part 3

For the purpose behind the Glory Advance Conference held September 24-26 in Wichita, see my previous post about it at Glory Advance Conference - Wichita, KS. These notes are from three different sessions in which Dutch Sheets continued on a single message - "New." Again, the square brackets ([ ]) indicate my thoughts or additions to what was said.

New

In the passage in Matthew 9:17, the Greek word "neos" means numerically new. [It also means "fresh" or "regenerated." The wineskin had to be either new or "fresh."] Dutch noted that the Wine [God] isn't going to change; the skin that holds it [we] must. He also noted that we will be stretched in amazing ways. If there is anything that locks us into the past, then we are an old wineskin.

When Jesus encountered the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 and she referred to the water in the well, the word she used was the word for cistern [phrear]. Yet Jesus was talking about water that bubbles up, like an artesian well [pege]. The water in the cistern is old water. It is good when we need it and sometimes we need to drink from the there [the old truths]. But we need to begin to drink from the artesian well.


New Glory

There is a new level of glory being poured out in Kansas that will go to the nations. That is more than a cloud or a mist in a room. The Hebrew word means "weighty" or "heavy." [God's glory is a weighty presence.] The Greek word means "the appearance of something that causes it to be recognized for what it is."

There is a very weighty government of God about to descend in this region. When it does, nothing can withstand it.

It is a fearful thing when God releases His glory. The glory of God is like a magnet - people are either attracted to it or repelled by it.

The passage in Acts 5:15 that talks about people bringing the sick so that Peter's shadow could fall on them actually refers to them being overshadowed [episkiazo - "to cast a shadow upon, to envelope in a haze of brilliancy"]. The word that is used in this passage is the same word used in Luke 1:35 when the power of God "overshadowed" Mary and she conceived the Son of God. [It was the tangible presence of God that enveloped him that touched people and caused them to made well or whole.]

Dutch prophesied that the presence of God would so hover in Wichita that people will drive in the city limits and get healed. They will also get born again and spirit filled just by coming into that weighty presence of the Lord. Some of them will not even know what has happened to them; someone will have to explain it to them [after it has occurred].


New Wells

The discussion of wells and re-digging wells is in Genesis 21 & 26. The name used for God is a name that means "forever in both directions" [past & future] or "everlasting." [God is the God of our past as well as of the present and future.]

In Genesis 26, God takes Isaac back to the same situation faced by his father, Abraham. Like Abraham, Isaac claims that Rebekah is his sister, rather than his wife, fearing they would kill him to have her. Both were more interested in saving themselves than in what might happen to their wives. God had to get that root of iniquity out of Isaac before taking him forward.

After dealing with that root, Isaac then returned to re-dig wells that had been dug by his father, plus some new wells. God had to take Isaac back to deal with the old issues before He could bring him into a new, broader place.


New Places in the Spirit

The meaning of the word "Hebrew" is "crossover." God called Abram a Hebrew because he was willing to go out and cross over to a new place. This is the same word [abar] that is used in Genesis 15 when God descended as a smoking oven and flaming torch and "passed between" the pieces of the sacrifice to make covenant with Abraham.

It's a Caleb season. God has a new place of inheritance, a new place of experience [in Him]. Caleb didn't want the mountain because he liked the city at the top. He wanted the mountain because he hated the giant who ruled it. He knew it did not belong under his rule and he wanted him out. He took the mountain and renamed it Hebron - "the place of frienship" [with God]. It became a city of refuge. Wichita will become the same.


New Generation

A new generation is arising; the most prophetic generaion ever. They will write new songs and new laws. They will not just do signs & wonders; they will be signs & wonders. They will be the first 5-fold generation. They will understand worship & warfare. They do not yet know who they are (prophets & apostles), but God will blow a wind and gather them. They know they are unhappy, unfulfilled and have not yet tapped into their purpose. They will release a new sound we have never heard. Very soon, the sound will become a roar. It will be the call of the wild - wild worshipping warriors. God says, "I will call them to the wilderness."

This is a season of fulfillment of many visions. Be careful. Do not try to think your way through this season. We must "hear" our way through it.


New Level of Revelation

A Spirit of Revelation is coming to those who will break out of the old and get ready for the new. We are coming into a new season of open heavens.


* * * * * *
"I am going to build new places for My glory."

David was allowed "to break the rules" when it came to building a tent for the ark of the covenant. It was no longer housed in the tent of the tabernacle built by Moses, but was made more accessible. However, David did not get away with breaking the protocol of how to carry it [how to carry the presence of God]. The ark [the presence of God] had to be carried by people (the priests). [His presence still has to be carried by His people - those who are priests unto Him.]
* * * * * *


New Season

The new season brings new vision and new messages. Usually, a new season [of release] is preceded by a wilderness experience.

God had given Dutch a word that said, "Marry the mantles of the past to today ... and don't be afraid to strike the waters." [When you move into the new, you do not throw away all the things of the past. Some are there to be built upon and expanded.]


New Structures

New structures are coming. Quit trying to "go to church," "build the church," "do church," etc. We are the Church and we need to just "be" the Church. This revelation will create a war in the Church. Quit going to an event called "church" that isn't doing anything.

Pastors and heads of ministries need to move from "mine" to "ours," from "I" to "we," and from both of those to "His"!

We need to build around the desire of the King, not the needs of the people.


New Level of Harvest

Dream the dream with Him for America [or your nation]. Dream the dream with him for your state [or your region].


New Dreaming Season

It's a new dreaming season. Dream again.

Jacob got the dream at Bethel. But Jacob was conquered at Penuel when he wrestled with God and saw Him face to face. However, three chapters later, God directs Jacob [now Israel] to go back and live at Bethel [the place where he had the dream, the place of the open heaven, and the place where Jacob made his vow to serve God (if God blessed him).]

Dutch ended by exhorting us to dream about an America that is transformed.


[NOTE: Dutch had indicated he had 11 points. Due to time restrictions, he only made it through nine of them, and some of those he only touched on breifly. That is why there are only a couple of sentences on some of these.]
