Understanding the Generations through a 500 Year Snapshot

I’ve never been more excited about this time in history as I am right now. This summer I got into some messages that sparked my attention and brought a lot of strength and confidence to me. They caught my attention for two main reasons:

1. They said things I’d heard of but that I’d never seen so simply and clearly
2. They gave me comfort about my generation, prompted a greater admiration for previous generations, and gave me courage that we’re truly in the greatest time to be alive in Church history.

I’d like to share those things with you to give you courage and comfort as well. Let’s start with a summary of Church Restoration, the Modern vs Postmodern worldviews, and the Moral Cultures of our Society.

The Church Restoration Timeline

The timeline above begins after the Middle Ages, when much of Christianity as displayed in the book of Acts had been diminished. Sudden change came to the world with the 1^st Reformation, when Martin Luther discovered Salvation was available to everyone through faith alone.

After that, restorations kept coming. Each time a big advancement came, the world shifted with it. There were about 100 years for each advancement to settle in before the next one came.^[i]

Then you get to the 1900s. That’s when most of us adults were born, so that’s the timeframe we’ll focus on in a minute. In the 1900s the big advancements continued, but they came much faster. Instead of 100 years to settle, we got only 10 years.

Just a note about the first 5 restorations. The greatest persecutor of each new restoration was always the previous restoration. Members were persecuted to the extreme of martyrdom, not at the hands of non-Christians but of Christians who did not accept the new move of God.^[ii]

The Worldview Timeline

Now let’s look at the world view timeline (in red above). During the major church restorations, a worldview lived in the developed world after industrialization. That worldview was Modernism, which primarily believed that truth can be discovered through science and taught systematically. Education and systems are the means of spreading truth, and truth is declared boldly. Modernism lived a remarkable 300 years.^[iii] That means it was in place before the United States were established, and the vast majority of our history was built in this worldview.

Modernism gave way to Postmodernism in the 1950s. In Postmodernism, truth is individual and can be discovered through experience. It’s shared by social groups and varies group to group. It isn’t so much taught or spread as it is experienced and agreed upon.^[iv] Postmodernism is no older than my parents, and possibly no older than you. In that regard, postmodernism is new on the scene of western and world history.

The Moral Culture Timeline

Now let’s look at the moral culture timeline (in green above). In the western world and beyond, we went through three major moral cultures over the last couple hundred years. The first was the Honor Culture, wherein one’s value comes from his reputation. Because his reputation matters, his word is his bond, and he presents himself according to his reputation.^[v] (In other words, he says and looks like what he is). He must defend his reputation even to the point of death. This was, for example, the culture of the wild-west, where insulting someone could get you killed.

Then came the Dignity Culture. In the Dignity Culture, one’s value is inherent as a human being. Because his value is intrinsic, he doesn’t have to defend his honor socially. ^[vi]  His achievements speak for him, and where needed, the systems will prove him on major issues. He shrugs off small offenses, saying things like “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” He trust the systems in place.

Today, we’re in the Victimhood Culture. In the Victimhood Culture, victimization is virtuous. The extent of one’s victimization holds more weight than his or her character. The systems in place are said to have flaws, and those flaws have victims. Relying on appearance also has flaws, and “all is not as it seems,” since what one looks like may not be what he or she actually is (ie police that do not protect, priests that abuse). So both systems and appearance lose value.^[vii] Instead, one appeals to the masses to resolve both minor and major wrongs.^[viii] It could be argued that since being a victim is virtuous, people must be hypersensitive to their own mistreatment or disadvantage to prove their value. Being established, successful or accomplished means you risk being seen as dominating, making the established/successful person a villain and everyone else the victims. The Victimhood Culture also fosters deep compassion for others and social awareness. This is the culture in the US in which generations Y and Z grew up.

The Parallels

Bishop Hamon points out that every time God does a major work in the earth, technological advances and societal shifts also occur that aid His purpose^[ix].  I wanted to discover these parallels, especially as it relates to the ~5 generations alive today. I also want to see if anything else stands out:

1. The Concentration of Change
   Look on the timeline for the decade in which you were born. Notice anything? Yep, there’s a lot of dots right around your birth! We alive today were born around a historic time of concentrated, abrupt transition. It’s like we’re looking at a giant ship called mankind trying to make a 90-degree turn in the sea of history, and we grew up or were born right in the middle of that turn. The concentration of changes means several things to me:
   1. The “generation gap” between boomers and millennials is not a generation gap at all. It is more like a world history gap. It is not a misunderstanding between parents and children. It’s a change in over 300 years of human thinking!^[x] All generations alive today are in this gap together because we are all at the epicenter of world transformation.
   2. New moves of God become a way of life.
      We have 7 moves of God being restored at once together (2 newer ones not shown in the image). The distinctions between any two moves is less obvious. In past generations, one person only had to adjust to one major transition. Today one person could have to accept (or reject) up to 7 major transitions. For those alive today, Church and life is nothing but
2. The Transition Generation
   Something else is kind of obvious looking at the image. There are some gaps where the thought of society was making its sharpest turn. Those gaps coincide roughly with 1960-1980. Those seem to be the years of greatest transition. It really makes me wonder how aware of cultural transition those born just before and during that time must be! To me, having been born in the 80s, my awareness of cultural transition has come from being taught about it, more than from personal observation. I learned that my worldview was partly postmodern (though I had some modernism from being taught by Moderns in the Church). Looking at this image, I’m increasingly impressed with those older than me, with the incredible flexibility, wisdom and grace they have and their ability to navigate what I now think is one of the most dramatic transitions since Jesus.
   
3. Postmodern Experience and the Pentecostal, Deliverance, Charismatic, Faith + Prophetic Movements
   In the first 5 restorations of the 1900s, all the gifts of the spirit were restored. Immediately after that, the communication of truth changed from systematic discovery and authoritative declaration to personal experience and community. How convenient! Postmodernism says in order for something to be true, one must experience it, and experience it together. Isn’t that how the Kingdom was advanced in the book of Acts, ministering one to another and being jointly fit? And beginning with the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the 1900s, all the way through the gifts, the Church again has all the ingredients needed to demonstrate the experience of God’s Kingdom, possibly for the first time since Acts.
4. Victimhood Culture and the Saints Movement
   One aspect of the Victimhood Culture is the lack of reliance on structure, such as titles and hierarchy. Sadly this often translates into disrespect for authority. Of course, honor and respect for authority is fundamental in God’s Kingdom, and all Believers must demonstrate both from the heart. But I notice something else. When God released the Saints movement in the early 2000s, the shift was that every saint can access and demonstrate the Kingdom of God fully. No longer does your pastor need to pray for you to be healed; you pray for each other to be healed.^[xi] The empowering of the saints to do what previously only clergy did is God’s purpose. Dismantling structure is not God’s purpose. It seems maybe leveling out the hierarchy of society was a human, knee-jerk reaction to the sudden realization that all people are equally able, with their own ministry, purpose, destiny, function, or whatever else you call it. When I relate to members of gen Y and Z, they already have the idea that they are uniquely called by God, that they have their own ministry that doesn’t have to be in a pulpit, and that they can do anything a major leader can do if they trust God to do it in them too. It’s like they know inherently what Bishop decreed long ago, that “the day of the one-man show is over.”^[xii]

So many more societal shifts could coincide with the timeline of Church restoration, and there are more parallels to discover. It should be that way, because everything God wants to do in the earth, He will do through the Church. Seeing it all together helps me really understand the 4 or even 5 generations alive today. And through understanding and humility, we can navigate one of the greatest transitions in history. We can turn it into the most explosive advancement of God’s Kingdom ever seen!

In your field, where does the timeline of shifts and advancements fall on the Church restoration timeline? What parallels do you see?

“I am challenging my people to change.” 

We’re in a new day of God challenging us to change. We hear the word challenge and might immediately think that is a negative thing. Here is the definition of challenge:

1. a call or summons to engage in any contest, as of skill, strength, etc.
2. something that by its nature or character serves as a call to battle, contest, special effort, etc.
3. a call to fight, as a battle, a duel, etc.
4. a demand to explain, justify, etc.:
5. difficulty in a job or undertaking that is stimulating to one engaged in it.

The word that stands out to me in the definition is the word engage. The challenge that God is releasing in this season is a calling to engage. It is a calling to move off the sidelines and get involved in the battle. When we are on the battlefield, we can make a difference in the outcome.

Change: verb (used with object), changed, changing.

1. to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone: to change one’s name; to change one’s opinion;
2. to transform or convert (usually followed by into):
3. to substitute another or others for; exchange for something else, usually of the same kind:
4. to give and take reciprocally; interchange:
5. to transfer from one (conveyance) to another:

Change is simply something becoming different than it was.

“The Spirit of the LORD will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person” (1 Samuel 10:6 NIV).

Saul transformed into another man when he came into the company of prophets.  He now was doing what he could not do before. God wants to bring us into a place of doing and being what we could not do before.

I saw the Lord standing like a ticket attendant at a sports game. We handed the Lord our ticket and expected to get a seat near the front.  The Lord then directed us to go up the bleachers, not down towards the field, like we used to. We went away from the field up the bleachers. We were lead to the VIP executive box overlooking the entire field.

We had an expectation of where we were going to sit. He challenged us to change our normal routine of where we used to sit.  He took us to a much better seat and positioning.  He is challenging things inside of us that are limiting us. Don’t be afraid of what God begins to change in your life this next season.

The new opportunities that come to you may be challenging or may force you to engage with greater focus. God is challenging us so he can reveal hidden potential that he has placed inside of us. He is developing and unlocking inside of us kingdom resources for advancement.

The enemy has tried to cover up our potential and destiny, but God is about to dig it out. Embrace the challenges that you are presented with in this season. Hidden in them are the keys to breakthrough and advancement. God is breaking you out of your limitations.

We see in Genesis 39-42 Joseph went through a challenge. Things seemed to be heading the opposite direction of what Joseph’s dream was.  God was escorting him to his destiny.  He was able to save an entire nation from a famine and be positioned in a new place of authority.

Don’t reject or resist the challenge. Trust what the Potter is doing in and through your life in this season. He is making something beautiful.

God is Challenging the following areas in 2017:

Nations:  Many nations will have the chance to restructure for righteousness.

Corporate Church: The Church will have the chance to move to new levels of authority and influence in the earth.

Cities and Regions: These will have a chance to see a new atmosphere released in their territories.

Marketplace:  There will be a challenge to have integrity. Those who choose integrity will see new levels of prosperity in business.

Wherever you see things being challenged in this season is an opportunity. God desires to raise you up to become the answers and solutions, like Joseph was to a people and nation.

The Lord says “I am a challenging my people to change. I am giving them opportunities to transition into a higher level. I am calling them into more authority, resources and demonstrations of power. I am calling them out of hiding and into shining. You were made for the challenge. You were made to bring Heavenly answers and solutions into the earth. I am challenging you to run to challenges and let my kingdom flow through you.”

Brooklyn, New York

It’s 10:44pm in Brooklyn and I am back in my hotel room after finishing an amazing session on how to hear the voice of God. 

As, I prepared for bed I began to reflect on the events of that evening. A conversation that I had with an interesting young man stood out to me.  He shared a vision he had and I remembered how excited I was to talk with him about his prophetic journey. 

Another student, during a break in sessions, shared his frustration that he was unable to receive or hear from God. As we worked together I recall how his eyes lit up when he realized that he had been hearing God all along.

After class, I encountered a young woman when leaving the sanctuary.  God had me encourage her that where she had felt lost and alone, God was setting her up for a tremendous victory.

As I pat my face dry with a towel, I catch my eye in the mirror and take note of what I see. I am completely content in the midst of doing what God has called me to do.  I realize that I am so truly happy. I see the flame glint in my eyes and I pause and just hang there for a while. I feel this tremendous joy well up on the inside of me and I can hear God saying, “We did well today!”

God chooses to reveal to me passion not at the end of the journey but in the midst of it. 

I have that sudden “Aha” moment where I say to myself “David, this is what you have dreamed of being and doing your entire life. This is your passion!” To help others, to nurture others, to help others find their voice. It all comes crashing in on me as I realize that it is not something that is down the line, but rather something that God is doing through me in the here and now. 

I know I am not the only one that feels this way yet we still can get bogged down by the tremendous amount of work and effort it takes to walk out this prophetic journey.  For me, it is the early morning flights, even with the love of long-suffering friends that are willing to wake up at 3:30 in the morning to get me there. It feels like hard work when I am rushing from connection to connection, staying in different hotels, and eating food that is different than what I have back  home. There are so many things that can cause me to lose sight of the end goal. That is when discouragement comes in and tries to rob the joy, which for me, is a necessity in moving forward.  

As prophetic people, sometimes we become so focused on the next thing or some future point that we fail to realize the miracles and powerful encounters taking place right in front of us.  We lose sight of the fact that God is with us, working hand in hand as we journey. 

Standing here in front of the mirror, I realize something that I will try hard never to forgot, God chooses to reveal to me passion not at the end of the journey but in the midst of it. 

During a radical encounter with God when I was 16 years old, He gave me a vision of all generations, both young and old, coming together, working hand-in-hand to fulfill God’s end-time purposes in the earth. As I began to seek God and pray about this “coming together,” He placed a burning desire in my heart to see every wall and division between the generations come down, so that together, in alignment with the Holy Spirit, we could begin to build and establish God’s Kingdom in a new way.

I want to share with you how this desire was birthed in my heart in such an amazingly supernatural way. I pray that as you read this, God will begin to stir your heart in a way that will bring forth a demonstration of unity among the generations for His divine purpose.

This word on Marrying the Generations is a NOW word for all of the Body of Christ. The marrying of the generations that God is calling for has NO exclusions, from the youngest to the oldest, from the least to the greatest. God is speaking to all generations on how to come together in unity for the bigger purpose of what He wants to accomplish through His people in the earth today.

How God Turned My Heart Toward My Fathers, and My Fathers Toward Mine

During my teenage years, I spent a lot of time running from the call of God on my life. I was in major rebellion and sin against God and against many of the prophetic words and voices that had been placed in my life. In reality, I cared very little about being involved in ministry or even being a part of the Church. I had been in the Church for all of my life, but I only became a part of the Church after an encounter with the Holy Spirit when I was 16 years old. I had made many wrong decisions because of my selfishness, independence, rebellion, pride, and a strong will that I had not allowed to be touched or broken by the Holy Spirit.

I can still remember sitting on my bed in my room; everything had been taken away from me at this point due to my actions and choices. I was grounded and couldn’t go out of the house, I had lost all of my friendships, I was without a phone or any source of entertainment (all very important things to a 16-year-old boy), I had ruined my reputation at our church, and I had already tried running away, but it didn’t work. The worst thing, though, was that I had spent years running from God until I found myself feeling like I was at the lowest point of my life that I had ever been before. I was filled with hopelessness, emptiness, and I purposely isolated myself from everyone that loved me. (Photo via Pixabay)

While I was sitting on my bed, angry at my parents, the Church, and angry at God, I remember telling Him just how I felt. I remember blaming Him for all my troubles. I was in tears and felt no hope for my future. I felt like I had messed things up so bad that I could never get out of the hole that I had placed myself in. I had become my own worst enemy through rejecting the love of God, the love of my parents, and the love of the leaders that God had placed in my life. As I was sulking in my self-pity and blaming everyone else for my troubles, all of a sudden, something inside of me began to shift. It was as if, in a single moment of desperation, all the prayers of so many people began to penetrate every hardened place in my heart.

I began to cry out to God for a way out of the place that I had put myself in. I briefly let my walls down with God, honestly feeling angry about even asking God for help. Then I said to Him, “God, I can’t do this anymore, please help me.” As soon as I spoke this to God, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in my room! It was undeniable to me that the Holy Spirit had showed up in my room at that very moment. I began to feel a tremendous peace come upon me; even before God said one word to me I could feel in my spirit that everything was going to be OK. I knew that He was not only answering my heart’s cry, but He was answering the prayers of many people that had been praying for me. I could feel Him as Daddy God that showed up to rescue His child.

My life was never the same from that moment on. The blinders that were on my eyes were gone and I could see past my fears and insecurity. My ears could hear His voice clearly as He began to speak to me about His love for me and about what steps I needed to take in order to move forward in restoration and reconciliation with Him and those around me. He helped me to confront the deception that I had been walking in. He showed me how my actions and wrong decisions had affected my family and others who love me. It was as if I was instantly made sensitive again; my heart of stone was melted by the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.

He quickened in me the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I could hear him saying, “Come as you are, but don’t stay as you are.” This supernatural encounter with God was extreme! It needed to be extreme and real to me in order for me to make radical changes.

After my encounter with the Holy Spirit, I jumped up off of my bed and ran into my parent’s room weeping while I told them about what had just happened. I immediately asked for forgiveness, repented, and told them I would come clean with all that I had lied about and I would do whatever it took to bring reconciliation with all of the people that I had affected negatively by my actions. The incredible love, tenderness, and amazing heart of the Father that God demonstrated to me that day changed my life in an instant. God began to remind me of all the prophetic words that He had spoken over me earlier in life, and as He reminded me about these words I felt such a desire to run after these promises with full faith, believing that God had given me a great purpose here on earth. (Photo via Pixabay)

One of the things God spoke to me in these prophetic words, was about becoming a demonstration to the generations regarding family ministry and unity among the generations. I also received many prophetic words that my testimony would bring new hope to fathers, mothers, and families that the prodigals would come home just as I did. I am currently 32 years of age, and this experience is still so real to me, like it just happened yesterday. I will never forget that in that moment God birthed in me a heart for the generations. He gave me a heart to run in unity with the generation before me as a support, a voice crying out, and a prophet to the nations.

Another moment when God began to stir this vision of marrying the generations in my heart, was during a conversation I had with Bishop Bill Hamon just shortly after my encounter with God. Bishop opened his heart and spoke something to me that has stayed in my heart as a prophetic demonstration from one generation to the next. He spoke from his heart in such a way that it brought down my walls and confronted a prejudice that I had against the generation before me. He said to me, “Paul, we love you. I am not just your Bishop and Evelyn is not just your Mom Hamon, but we are your Papa and Mamma and you are a part of our family.”

When he said that I began to weep. I don’t think he knew that I had lost all of my grandparents by the time I was 10 years old and that I had such pain and anger that I didn’t get to have grandparents like everyone else did. In the spirit, this comment from Bishop changed me forever. My heart fully received what he said and I felt a new feeling and sense of belonging.

Another time, when I was 19 years old, I remember my Dad (Bill Lackie) coming to me and saying that I should go to Korea to minister with him. When he asked me, I was so scared to do this; I didn’t feel strong and I felt like I had nothing to offer. Then something rose up in my spirit. I could hear the prophetic words that God had spoken over my life and I decided to step out in faith and begin this Holy Spirit journey.

While I was in Korea with my Dad, I began to hear God speak to me even more regarding the generations. He began to show me that I was called as an armor bearer to my father and that I was an ambassador to the generations. He showed me that I would help to bridge the gap and the dividing wall between the generations. Our time of ministry in Korea was incredible as my father and I flowed together with the purpose of the Holy Spirit, just like the vision God gave me when I was 16. I learned so much about how to align with the purpose of God among the generations. I made a choice to align with the prophetic words over my life and, as of now, I have traveled over 400,000 miles all over the world with my father in ministry.

I have become a demonstration of what was spoken in Malachi 4:6: “And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

My heart has been turned toward a marrying of the generations that God is calling forth in this hour. He has put a desire in my heart to see the generations running together without the issues of competition, insecurity, jealousy, rivalry, and independence. The marrying of the generations will begin in our hearts as we are turned toward one another. This new unity among the generations will be birthed through a radical desire to hold nothing back when it comes to giving to one another. (Photo via Pixabay)

The enemy has a clear plan in regard to the generations. This plan has become clearer as I am hearing more and more about the prejudice between one generation and another. A strong desire is being spoken from the younger generation about wanting their own way and wanting the older generation to get out of the way. I am convinced that this attitude will only divide the generations from the true purpose of God.

The enemy wants to delay, divide, and stop the full purpose of God through a spirit of selfishness and entitlement that has tried to rise up in my generation. I have seen some demonstrating an attitude of discontentment, saying, “It’s our time now; the generation before us needs to step down and let us step in.” This attitude is so far from the heart of God. I believe that the generations can and will demonstrate a new unity as a new humility is received by each one of us.

Here is the Scripture(s) that the Holy Spirit gave me as a “now” word to the generations:

Philippians 2:1-4
1: Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
2: fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3: Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
4: Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

How to Marry the Generations in Our Day

Here are a few things that God has shared with me on how we can marry the generations in our day:

1. Supernaturally receive the now revelation of God’s heart toward the generations and receive a renewing of your mind toward His purpose being fulfilled through all generations.
2. The younger generations will begin to see the HUGE importance of being rightly submitted to God’s delegated authority from the generation before us.
3. The younger generations cannot rise up with a frustration that says, “It’s our time; give us our place and get out of the way.”
4. God views things differently than we do: we operate by time and he operates by eternity. His purposes are not limited to one generation, because His purpose will require all generations.
5. God is not calling one generation to step down and another generation to take over.He is calling the generations to come together, to run together in a new way without fear of losing a position. (Photo via Pixabay)
6. We as the Body of Christ are in the midst of a war concerning the generations and the unity that God desires between ALL generations.
7. God will require ALL generations to contribute in harmony, with the same love, and being of one accord and of one mind – the mind of Christ.
8. God is calling forth the young ones to rise up and support the generation before in a new way.
9. The generation before needs us desperately! They need our fire, our passion, our zeal, and our strength.
10. My generation desperately needs the wisdom, experience, covering, maturity, and so much more from the generation before.
11. One generation cannot accomplish the purpose of God without the other.
12. God is after the division, prejudice, competition, selfishness, and other issues that are dividing the generations.
13. The generations must not focus only on their own interests but on the interests of all generations that are aligned with the heart of God.
14. Unity among generations must never be based on appearance. For too long the generations have been divided by the way others dress, by likes and dislikes, and feeling disconnected because there seems to be no common interests.
15. Just as God looks at the heart, we must see the true heart and true purpose of others. We must look past the appearance and get to know one another as we connect from the heart.
16. Every generation must receive the interests of the heart of God; this will be the basis of the common interests among all generations that will heal any prejudice that has existed. (Photo via Freeimages)
17. This new unity and marrying of the generations will bring forth a whole new level of establishing God’s Kingdom on earth like never before.
18. As unity rises among the generations, we will experience rapid advancement of the Kingdom of God in the earth!
