Joe Joe Dawson: "A Five-Year Window Has Opened"

The Time Is Here

I want to share with you a very powerful prophetic word that I've been praying and sitting on for about the last month or so. The Lord showed me that we are in a five-year time frame in which the window of Heaven has completely opened up. This is not a time that is coming. It is a time that is here.

The five-year window has opened. Ever since the Lord spoke to me about this, everything that my wife and I are doing, all of our ministries and businesses, have started to increase. Our clarity and prophetic edge are increasing. Everything that we're doing is increasing by the Spirit of the Lord.

Confusion, Chaos, or Clarity

This five-year word goes along with another word the Lord recently gave me. It was about confusion, chaos, and clarity. This is a season where everyone is going to be experiencing one of these three things: confusion, chaos, or clarity. I believe the Lord is calling His people above the noise and calamity going on in the world and in the natural realm so that they can walk in His clarity and operate from the heavenly realm.

This word is only highlighting the truth of how we are in a five-year time frame in which the windows of Heaven are open, and it's time for us to build what God has called us to establish.

Build According to the Spirit

This is a complete season of separation. The difference and distance between those who are going after God and those who are pursuing their own agendas is growing wider and more distinct. This is a season where we must build according to the Spirit of the Lord. It is critical for each of us to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, because how we move forward in this season will determine how the many seasons to come will turn out.

In the next five years, you're not going to be able to do things the way you used to do things. You can no longer rely on things from the past that may have worked in the last season, because this is a new, different season. This season will require you to shift into a new level of discernment and faith. It is a fast-paced, accelerated season. (Photo via Pexels)

If you will build according to the Holy Spirit over the next five years, God will help you to create and build a Goshen. When Egypt was going through the ten plagues, there were people that were in Goshen who didn't have to go through what the rest of Egypt was experiencing.

I believe that over the next five years you're going to be able to build a legacy for the people that you care about. You're also going to be able to build things according to the Kingdom of God that have never been built before.

What Is God Saying to You?

This is a very exciting time! It's a time to evaluate and carefully consider what God is saying to you. Many will be prompted by the Lord to move out of dead and dry religious institutions, churches, and ministries.

Realignments in ministry and relationships are coming. It is vitally important for you to be plugged in with the right people. You will need the right friends around who are radically pursuing God alongside of you. Romans 16:17 says, "I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them."

Over the next five years, you cannot hang out with those types of people. You can't stay connected with people who are negative, make excuses, and are argumentative. It would be a shame at the end of the next five years to look back and see that you had one friend or family member that you allowed to hold you back from all God has for you.

Separate Yourself to God

This is a season of separation where you are going to have to separate yourself from the world, the entertainment of the world, and the things of the world. This is your season to go wholeheartedly after the things of God. Completely throw your life into the things of God like never before and watch what the Lord will do in and through your life!

"Therefore, 'Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.'" (2 Corinthians 6:17–18)

There are so many of you out there that if you would just radically pursue the things of God and tap into a realm of the Spirit, then things would begin to break through in your life like you could never even imagine. The truth is, the window of Heaven is open right now. You're not waiting on God; God is waiting on you.

Ephesians 5:11 says, "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." What would happen if you only did things that were lined up with the Word of God and the prophetic words He has spoken over your life?

There was a period of time, about five years ago, when my wife and I had a prophetic word that we were going to accelerate in a few things. We ended up accelerating over a two-year period more than we had previously in all the years of our lives put together.

There was a period of acceleration where we made sure we were aligned with the Lord in every single area and detail of our lives, and we experienced explosive growth. This season is that type of fast-paced, accelerated season. The next five years are critical for the rest of your life. Make sure you are aligning every part of your life with the Lord and His purposes for you.

Philippians 4:6 in The Passion Translation says, "Don't be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude..."

If you are not already a person of consistent, daily prayer, it is time to become one, my friends! My wife and I both start every day in prayer. We each go to our designated places in our house and we have prayer time with God. This is how you keep the world from pulling you in different directions. When you are in constant communion with the Lord, then you will remain focused on your Kingdom assignment and Kingdom mandate. (Photo via PickPik)

Consider the Cost

Ecclesiastes 3 talks about how there is a season for everything. This is your season to build. This is your season to plant and advance in God's destiny for you.

Luke 14:28 says, "So don't follow Me without considering what it will cost you. For who would construct a house before first sitting down to estimate the cost to complete it?" If you are going to move forward over the next five years, don't do anything half-heartedly. Consider what it will cost you and then go wholeheartedly in with the Lord.

I remember years ago I went before the Lord and just gave my everything to Him. I told God that I would give up anything He asked me to and would do anything He asked me to do. I counted the cost, and I threw my life into the will and the perfect plan of God. Ever since then I have been rolling with the Lord at a very, very fast pace.

This is the type of season that we are in right now. I want to encourage you today to get alone with God. Spend time fasting and in prayer. Seek the Lord and then move forward in obedience. Ask the Lord to speak to you about the next five years. Allow Him to position you for the next five years in order to set you and your family up financially, physically, and spiritually.

You may need to shift many different things in order to align yourself with what God wants for you. Some may need to move geographical locations, churches, walk away from certain relationships, etc. Don't allow anything to keep you from what the Lord is wanting to do and build with you in this crucial time. The window of Heaven has opened, and it's up to you to step into the blessing and build!
