I was ministering at a conference at Jubilee International Church in Sydney, which was my third city during a two-week period in Australia. We had already had a great conference and I was now pondering what the Lord had for these precious people “down under” for my closing session with them. That Sunday morning the Holy Spirit gave me another stunning and vivid dream of a Two-Story House. The senior leader of the church’s name was Fini.  His name would play out as significant in the dream.

In the bottom or first floor of the house, I was standing in a room filled with “fathers of the faith”. Standing next to me was this senior leader, Fini, of Jubilee Church, a father in his own right. Instruction and apostolic exhortation were being released and a realm of the purposes of God was being released into the atmosphere. On the second floor, right above our heads, was the next generation of leaders emerging. They were wildly hungry and in passionate worship. Interestingly, the young adult pastor of this church was standing right above Apostle Fini’s head. Right above my head was a next generation leader named Steven.

A song erupted on the second floor of the house and everyone joined in singing, “Father Fini, has many sons; many sons has Father Fini. I am one of them and so are you. So let’s just praise the Lord!” This song, of course, was a take-off of a children’s church song from years ago called “Father Abraham” but the words were changed to “Father Fini” in this dream.

I knew that this dream was literally about Senior Pastor Fini as one of his sons of the faith – Darrel – was leading the singing. I also knew it was a play on words concerning Charles Finney, fabled American revivalist. The Holy Spirit was saying that as true fathers of the faith arise, there would be an entire generation of “revivalists” arise. The dream was electric and charged with high energy.

The next thing I know – I realize that Fini’s ceiling was the floor Darrel was standing on right above his head. My ceiling was Steven’s (evangelist listed in the Book of Acts) floor. Then the song changed and both generations – though on different levels – began singing the same new song. It was very techno and everyone in unison was chanting, “Everybody Dance Now!” We danced in glee to the sound of the new song. Then the words shifted to, “Everybody Jump Now!” It was time for everyone to go higher than they had ever been and JUMP to new heights.

The whole house turned into holy chaos and then the voice of the Holy Spirit came to me and stated, “The ceiling of the fathers will be the floor of their sons.” (This was not about chronological age in reference to being a “son” as there were grown adult men in the “upper room” who were actually even older in age than Fini or I. It was not just about men either as when I woke up, I knew this was about the joining of the generations – gender inclusive.)  I woke up very energized and filled with supernatural strength knowing I had the word to close out my last session with the assembly in Sydney, Australia.

I have heard a few men of God in this generation previously state, “Our ceiling will be the next generation’s floor.”  That statement always sounds good and right to me, but now I knew it by revelation. Yes, we have come to a point and time of the synergy of the generations. We will passionately worship the Lord together and jump to new heights. A sound will explode from the upper room once again as an entire generation arises to be the Finneys and the Stephens of this new apostolic church age.  “Everybody Dance Now!”
