SOZO: Salvation, Healing and Wholeness
The Lord is speaking "Sozo" to his Kingdom Prophets. This is the day, this is the hour of which we have long hoped for. Let God's healing be yours.

From Bob Jones
CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK
Now this is the day that I right every wrong committed against mankind. I'm tired of hearing the complaints of My children. Their prayers and intercession have turned to complaining against a brother and this must cease! It's a season of calling the kettle black, taking responsibility for your own sin and forgiving one another starting with yourself. When you forgive yourself and love your neighbor you can love others and forgive them as well. We can never get along without love and forgiveness. The kettle is black stained from the hardness of hearts. Now today I call the kettle black and began in My own house to clean the hearts of My people. Those who submit will quickly be cleansed; those who lie will become more hardened . Now go this day repent, forgive and love; Me, yourself and your neighbor. Amen.

Religion
There is nothing so exciting as God. There is nothing so boring as religion.
We are they who seek the Spirit of Jah. He is not religious, He is God.

The Religious Spirit:
The Religious Spirit:
The Religious spirit is active in this land. One of the great deceptions that the religious spirit uses is that
it makes people feel good about themselves, when they do good things for the reward and/or honor of men. Religion is basically what man does that makes himself feel justified before God. It is Jesus-less stuff.
Religion is founded on zeal.
Rom. 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Religion is not Christianity. Christianity is not religion. Zeal for God is a good thing. But, zeal is not faith.
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
God requires obedience. It is much better than all our sacrifice. The Religious spirit will give us support in doing what we want to do for God, that is to say, what we choose to sacrifice.
1Sa 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
We can build a great university and call it Christian or Godly, but if it is for the glory of itself, it is religion. Many a movement started in humility ends in man glory.
My call in the Spirit as a prophet of God: Lord, I call upon you to tear down everything in this nation that calls itself by your name but does glorify you by submitting to your greater purpose for this hour.
I call for a breaking of the spirit of Babylon in this nation.
Amen

Doug Addison: "A New Sound From Heaven - Is On Earth Today"
This is offered in quote form, from Elijah List:
"Doug Addison:
"A New Sound From Heaven - Is On Earth Today"
New Sound From Heaven
I keep hearing God speaking over and over to me that there is a new sound that has already been released from Heaven. I have heard prophecies about a new sound coming and many musicians and worship leaders are searching for it. I have not yet heard this new Heavenly sound in any church, but I can't stop hearing it in the spirit.
Music sets the pace for everything. Since God is doing something new in the earth right now, it is only appropriate that it would flow through music as well. Anointed music communicates God's desire and intention for each of us individually, for our church, our region and our generation. Worship music is not just leading songs that prepare our hearts to hear the Word of God, though there is great value in this. Worship is the cry of the Holy Spirit to lead us into His paths and higher purposes.
The new sound will overtake us like a storm and will be different than the way we currently worship. It will catch the ear of a younger generation that has yet to experience God the way many of us have in the past. Prophetic music, radical dance, new songs, and art will be major keys to the new sound and will ultimately usher in one of the biggest revivals in Church history. Just as in previous moves of God, not everyone in the Church will receive the new sound or even recognize it is from God.
And I heard a sound from Heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.—Revelation 14:2-3
Learn From the Last New Sound
In the 1960s a new sound from Great Britain swept the U.S. and the world. The Beatles came on the scene with a sound that took the essence of rhythm and blues and added a faster beat with a fun and exciting feeling to it. Most of their lyrics caused a generation of young people to feel empowered. But there was something special about that music that was almost anointed. James Ryle, in his book, Sons of Thunder, said that God showed him that the Beatles had a call of God but through circumstances and bad choices, they never found their greater destiny in the Kingdom of God. As a result, their gifts and music were used to usher in the biggest movement of Middle Eastern religion in U.S. history. God inspired the new sound and music but the enemy distorted it.
I often wonder if someone had prophetically recognized that a new sound was coming, could they have helped the Beatles discover their Kingdom gifts and callings? Had the Church known back in the early 1960s that the new sound from Heaven was already in the pubs of Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool, England, would they have believed it?
I am declaring prophetically that the new sound is already on the earth today. Just as the Beatles influenced a generation away from God, so this new sound from Heaven will bring masses of this young generation to Him. This time it will not be stolen by the enemy.
Rock-n-roll music was not liked by the older generation. Churches tried to hold it back instead of embracing it as something that originated from God's heart to reach young people, so it got counterfeited and perverted by the enemy. It was not until the Jesus People Movement that the new rock sound was allowed in churches. But this was ten years too late.
In the early 1980s John Wimber, the founder of the Vineyard Church movement, had a vision in which he saw "garage bands" leading worship in churches. Garage bands are talented musicians that are unknown to the world. Sure enough, our modern-day worship and praise teams are now the equivalent of garage bands of the past. Interestingly, John Wimber himself was one of the original members of the Righteous Brothers band before he dedicated his life to Christ.
Torch Bearers Are Coming Forward
On July 16, 2009, I had a dream that was more of a spiritual experience. It was the night before I was to leave for a ministry trip to Bakersfield, California, and I was taken in the spirit to the meeting I was about to attend. During the experience I was instructed to assemble black handheld electronic devices that looked like electric torches but required no electricity. They were powered by the Holy Spirit and would be used to do ministry at an entirely new level.
As I screwed the handles to the torches, it created a sound in the spirit that was like no sound I have heard on earth. It had an electronic pitch and reverberated forever. The sound was so strange that it caused many Christians to get angry and I was attacked by many of them who did not want to hear this new sound. The next day, in real life, I arrived at the conference and even though I had never been to this building it was exactly as I had seen it in the experience.
I knew that God was releasing a new sound and a new anointing that will be so radical that many Christians would be tempted to reject it. The torches and the sound were reserved for a generation that will take it and run with it to new levels of God's supernatural glory unlike we have ever seen. It was interesting to note that the very weekend that this dream/experience happened, the largest oil field in Bakersfield was discovered. God used this to confirm that we are about to discover something new and very big in the spirit.
It is also significant that Bakersfield played a role in Country music's revolutionary "Outlaw" movement of the 1970s that brought a radical change to the sound coming out of Nashville. God wants to use places like Bakersfield, small unknown towns, that are ripe for change and willing to go outside the box to bring God's glory.
A few days later I was back home in Santa Maria, California, and I was telling my wife about the experience. We pulled up to a traffic light and saw two teenagers carrying a torch of fire running up the street yelling with joy. It looked like the Olympic torch with real fire and it happened in real life. God spoke to me that it is time to release the "torch bearers" who will take His light and love to the world like never before.
The Sounds of the Radio
In the late 1990s my wife and I planted our first church near Kent State University in Ohio. God spoke to me that we would reach this city by the "sounds of the radio." After experimenting with various types of music, it was a 16-year-old worship team member who stepped forward with an amazing set of Vineyard worship lyrics put to music of several popular songs from rock bands like Blink 182, Metallica, and Lit. The result was astonishing! As we learned to worship to a different style than we were accustomed to, we enabled young people to connect with God. It is similar to several revivalists like Charles Wesley, Martin Luther, and William Booth who put worship hymns to popular bar tunes and music of their day in order to reach people for Jesus.
Now, years later, I am a conference speaker and a traveling minister. Two years ago God directed me to redeem songs from the radio and show people how to worship to them. I began plugging my iPod into the sound system at churches and in the middle of my talks to reiterate a point. I play parts of songs like, I Can See Clearly Now (the Rain is Gone), or Don't Worry, Be Happy. I personally think that Tom Petty's, I Won't Back Down really should be a worship song.
Later, after we leave the church service, we can hear these songs play and immediately be able to worship God and bring the anointing into any setting and situation. I still believe in having worship teams and music, yet am also trying to get outside the box to discover more of what God has for us and for others who do not know God yet.
Embracing the New Sound
The new sound from Heaven that I heard was electronic but different than the typical electronic music today. It brought to mind the major switchover in music from Big Band in the 1940s to Rock-n-Roll music in the 1950s. The previous generation did not like the new rock music, but rock won out in the end. Now, 50 years later, there is a switch happening once again with rock beginning to lose out to techno. Just like previous generations, the old will hold on for dear life and even fight the new sound.
I am a rocker at heart, but I also see the value that my daughter's generation places on the new music, so I am trying to embrace it. At age 50, I am creating "worship mix" and learning to DJ using a new handheld technology. Interestingly, the new technology is a small black handheld device that creates electronic music. This is what I saw in my dream that was instrumental in releasing the new Sound from Heaven.
This new sound is already on the earth right now! Imagine the possibilities if Christians and the Church-at-large could embrace this next move of God instead of rejecting it like in the past. I am praying that God will give us "ears that can hear" what the Spirit is saying and doing right now.
Oh God, help us to partner with You for one of the greatest revivals in Church history!

Heal Our Land
As intercessors for the body, we are called as Daniel and Nehemiah to confess the sins of the nation of God, His people.
Dan 9:16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about us
Neh 1:6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
Lord our nation has sinned greatly, and become a great evil. Forgive our sin Lord. Come and heal our land. Our land is defiled by the sin of abortion. This abortion is judgment for the aborting of honor for life, in the church. The church has embraced religion, and rules, and rejected Spirit and life. Resurrect in this land honor for life made in your image, we pray.

A word, A quote, from Larry Randolf
"Urgent: The Court of Heaven is in Session. It's time for the Church to Get on Their Face - The Verdict is NOT IN YET!"
Introduction by Larry Randolph
"In 2005, I was visited by an Angel of the Lord who showed me a string of events that would unfold beginning in 2007 through the end of 2012. One of the most striking predictions was his proclamation that, "The economy of this nation will go down a long, dark hill." Among many other things, the angel also informed me that in the same year I saw the deaths of many Hollywood celebrities, it would signify the end of an era and the beginning of change in the nation. I shared these things in a few meetings, but felt that I should not yet release the details of the visitation on a national scale.
"What God Told Me in July of 2008 About THAT September"
Then in July of 2008, the Lord informed me that a "perfect storm" would hit the nation in the middle of September and that it would be the beginning of the economic collapse the angel revealed to me in 2005. Again, I was reluctant to draw national attention to the coming events and purposely restricted the prophetic word to a small number of conferences. Although the prediction came to pass around the 15th of September 2008, part of my reluctance to give the prophetic word was due to much of the negativity that is often associated with a number of prophetic ministries. As one called to encourage the Church prophetically, I tend to shy away from anything that sounds like "gloom and doom" and often wait for God to show me the redemptive value of what is happening.
"I NOW Feel an Urgency to SOUND THE ALARM!"
That being said, however, I now feel an urgency to sound the alarm that unprecedented events are approaching us on many levels. We are at the end of the "holding pattern" we have experienced this year and are about to enter another season of change and great shaking. In fact, there is a "super-shift" coming that is truly bittersweet and will ultimately reveal the best of times and the worst of times. In view of the sobering times we are approaching, I have decided to release a prophetic word that I recently delivered at Grace Center, my home church in Franklin, Tennessee.
As you'll hear in the prophecy, the shift begins this September, continuing throughout October, and will gain both momentum and velocity by December 31st. Interestingly, the 31st is a "blue moon" night that is an astronomical rarity—thus the phrase "once in a blue moon."
Also, a part of my decision to release the following prophecy is related to yet another encounter I had in August. Around the middle of the month, I had a vision of a 5.0 earthquake that would mark the beginning of a critical shift. I also saw a greater shaking that was to follow in the near future. The next day, I called my friend Bob Jones who confirmed that he was also feeling "a trembling" in the Earth. Several days after our conversation, there was a 5.0 earthquake in Alaska on August 19th, which confirmed to me the importance of the vision. (Reported on Fox News August 19, 2009: 5.0-Magnitude Earthquake Rattles Anchorage, Alaska.)
And, if I am interpreting correctly what I feel and see, there is yet a seven-fold shaking of greater magnitude coming that will produce enormous and perhaps catastrophic disruptions on economic, political, geophysical, atmospheric, and spiritual levels.
No Matter What Events Unfold, God is "Unfailingly Redemptive"
However, the good news is that God is unfailingly redemptive, no matter what events unfold in the world. According to the Prophet Isaiah, when darkness invades the Earth, the glory of God is certain to arise upon His people. Although we are entering uncertain and turbulent waters, remember that the challenges we face can affect us for good or for bad. When God shook the fountains of the deep in Noah's day, for example, the flood had both negative and positive implications for that generation. For those outside the ark it was devastating, but for those inside the ark it was liberating. So depending on your posture in Christ, the coming days can either be the best of times or the worst of times."
