Behold, I will
send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the LORD. 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 (Mal. 4:5-6).
One of God’s primary purposes for raising up and restoring
prophets and prophetic ministry in the church in these last days is to bring
generations together. This not only
includes generations of old and young in the earth, but also joining past
generations together with the current generation, who will complete their
mandates and fulfill their purposes. (Hebrews 11:39-40.) There are multi-generational promises, anointings,
ministries, mantles and blessings held in a spiritual trust fund for the
end-time generation that fully embraces the Lord in intimacy and
obedience. The prophetic or “forerunner”
ministries in the earth today are called to heal the breach that exists not
only between the age groups, but also between the “fathers” of the ages past
and the current generation. God calls
for fathers-leaders to arise who will fully take hold of His promises and join
hands with both the saints from ages past and the youth in the current
age. These fathers-leaders are called
upon to take the first step in the process of restoration and deliverance.
