Dr Jonathan David is the Founder and Senior Pastor of All Nations Sanctuary, a governing kingdom church in Muar, Johor, Malaysia. He is also the Presiding Apostle of the International Strategic Alliance of Apostolic Churches (ISAAC), a network of governing churches in 40 nations. He has been recognised by apostles and prophets around the world for his contribution to God’s present move through his book, Apostolic Strategies Affecting Nations.

Church Unusual lifts the paradigms of pastors and Christian leaders to see the church beyond its natural element and environment. It is the avenue and vehicle for the Kingdom of God manifesting here on earth as it is in heaven. When this happens, God can dwell in and manifest His power and glory through His church to rule over all His enemies.

The Church will move from good to great for the glory of God in the highest.

The Lord is watching over us
In the next decade we will experience an open heaven, prophetic
precision, strategic position, and Spirit demonstration when we are connected and covered by the authority of heaven – when we are adjusted and aligned by the accuracy of heaven with the nation we live in. The accuracy of the prophetic and the activation of the latent power of God’s Word will bring internal life, leading to the fulfilment of every spoken word. The Lord is watching over His Word and will hasten it in time.

Righteousness over lawlessness
The Church Unusual will be built on the pillars of Zion and become the carrier to change lives and mature the spirits of righteous men, bringing them to a place of perfection. In the last days, church will be more than just a religious institute or an ordinary church having regular and predictable services. God is about to unleash upon the world the Church that He has birthed for the joy that was set before Him. The Church Unusual is patterned after the heavenly pattern, modelled after Zion. It is modelled to bring the full manifestation of the Bride and the City of God down to the earth. This is the church of the first born who are enrolled in heaven. They bring an end to the sinful age and bring to birth the age of righteousness. Righteousness will spring up everywhere. Those who desire evil will be sidelined in many places. Cities will choose righteousness rather than lawlessness – we will see the end of lawlessness and the increase of Kingdom governance in and through the church.

The depth of the work of God that will be done this year will be seen by all.

These are the pillars of Zion:
Strategic men will rise in strategic places and create significant moves of the Spirit. Inevitable manifestation of the true sons of God will become identifiable in the future of this final move of the Spirit. Church reformation will inspire church restoration, leading to city transformation. The next decade will be unusual times. Zion will manifest in and through the church unusual. The kingdom will go forth from Zion. God will help us to capture the vision of the church without walls because God will be a wall of fire around them. The depth of the work of God that will be done this year will be seen by all. He will bring His work to completion.

What can we expect?
The next decade will be a decade of change, a decade of quick maturing of the church. The next decade will see an end to the sinful age and the beginning of the age of righteousness and of the kingdom government. Mixture in the church will be exposed. God will begin to expose the spirit of error and help us to discern and destroy the spirit of darkness. There will be a rejection of the Spirit of Eli and the dimension of the Samuel type of anointing in races like you’ve never seen before. The counterfeits and the false prophets will be exposed, many of them will be chased out of town. To many of these an end will be put to their ministry. Some will leave this earth prematurely because the true prophetic word will flow across the nations of the earth.

God will move, His voice will be heard
A new sense of intimacy is coming upon the Church, a new sense of grace. If you capture the vision of the church unusual and build on the pillars of Zion, then the sons of God will manifest. Strategic men in strategic places will create significant moves of the Spirit. Faith for the miraculous is going to become a portion in every church that even during times of worship, things will happen, the hand of God will come mightily upon the people – healing the sick and raising the dead. There will be a supernatural flow of revelation that will reveal the greater purpose of God for the Church. There will be an unhindered flow of the river of Life. The Spirit of revelation, understanding, and wisdom will manifest. I can see the Spirit of God begin to move. The sound of His voice will be heard. God will move.

Get ready for what is to come!
There is going to be the emerging of a Church and a people rising in a way you never seen before. There is going to be an exercise of dominion in every domain. God will give strategy, a plan that cannot fail, and the strategic plan is to bring us to a place of stature so that the anointing of the Lord will flow strong through lives to govern the territory. Obedience will set and generate many hearts that will be participating, so get ready. The grace and the apostleship for the nations of the world is to build so the fast-flowing river of revelation, healing, and deliverance will flow through the Church. The Church has received the source of life in every domain and every place, to be the answer, to be the solution people are looking for. God is the source of life in every domain and every place. Get ready, it is time to serve the Lord with all your heart, soul, and strength. It is time to put your hand to the plough and don’t look back. It’s time to advance with a shout of praise, with the roar of a lion. Let the Lion of Judah roar.

Church reformation will inspire church restoration, leading to city transformation. The next decade will be unusual times.
