In a dream, I saw a revolving door. 

People in it were just going around and around, but never exiting. 

“What is this?” I asked the Lord.

He said, “Many of my prophets have become stuck in a revolving door: they keep speaking the same words but never move on into the place where they speak and decree the shape and nature of the new.”

I heard the Lord say, “It’s time to exit! It’s time to step into the new creative space and begin to decree the shape of the new. Stop speaking into what is ending and has ended.”

“Some of my prophets and leaders have become so caught up trying to fix the dysfunction of the old, that they have become ensnared in it. They are bound to the very thing from which they are seeking to get free!”

“But I am releasing an anointing for the creative decree.”

“The creative decree in the mouths of the prophets will cause a displacement of the old.”

“This is not a time of renewal, rebranding or refreshing: a new movement of God has begun that will displace the old. It is the time of endings and the time of beginnings!”

Notes from Simon Braker:

What is a creative decree?

In Genesis 1 God speaks into open space and creates. There was no light until God said, “Let there be light.” His spoken word caused the unseen to manifest. In a similar way, prophets are called to declare that which is not, as though it were. To declare the reality of what God has said, in order to call it into being. 

Some prophets are stuck trying to prophesy a fix to old things that God is allowing to end.

The call is to look ahead to what God is doing that is new, and to decree that into being.

Prophets need to seek God on what to call forth, but I believe a major part of that is new apostolic prophetic movements.
