The Ancient Paths

Word from Apostle Mark Hawkins, Spiritual Father to Ed & Lynn Alderson

December 2025

As I began to pray about what the Lord wanted to say to you, I initially thought I was going to go in one direction—but instead, something different began to unfold.

In past years, it seemed like there was a word that leaned more toward one of you and then the next year it would shift back and forth. But what stood out this time is that this word is for both of you equally. It’s not more for one and less for the other—it’s for both of you.

So I asked the Lord, “What is it that You want for Ed and Lynn?”

As I asked that, I began to have an open vision.

I saw the two of you walking on a path—like a trail in a state park or a national park. It wasn’t steep or strenuous, like climbing a mountain. You were simply walking together, enjoying one another. It was a leisurely walk—almost like you were exploring, but more than that, it was about being together.

As you were walking down this path, something caught your attention. You both noticed something on the ground, and you bent down to pick it up.

As you picked it up, the Lord said to me:

“Tell Lynn and Ed that they are entering a season of revelation and amplification.”

And He made it clear—this is not just for 2026. This is something you are stepping into that will continue. As you walk these paths, the revelation you receive will be amplified.

Then the Lord said:

“I am taking you on a journey along ancient paths.”

This is not new revelation in the sense of something never known. These are ancient truths—things that have been revealed before but have been forgotten or overlooked. As you walk these ancient paths, these revelations will come into your hands.

And it will be joyful—like you’re on vacation together, simply spending time with each other. It’s not about anyone else on the path—it’s about the two of you.

In the vision, I was observing from the outside. You were the only ones there. But the Lord said:

“As you walk these ancient paths, I will bring to you things that were once revealed but have been forgotten—things that no one is talking about anymore.”

When you picked them up, what they looked like and what actually happened were two different things.

What you picked up looked like a megaphone—something you would speak into that amplifies your voice. It didn’t even really have a handle—you held it with both hands. But the moment you picked it up, the revelation in it was amplified.

As you received the revelation, it immediately began to go out.

And suddenly, people began to gather.

You even said to each other, “How do they even know what we’re seeing and discovering?”

But everything you picked up along these ancient paths was being amplified.

There was a twofold aspect to it:

Some things you would pick up, and the Lord would say:

“This has been known before, but no one has done anything with it for so long that it’s as if it’s unknown. People will think it’s new.”

Then you would pick up something else, and the Lord would say:

“This is new revelation—something no one has seen or heard before.”

So you will encounter both.

Then the Lord showed me something else:

As you continue walking these paths, they will become familiar to you—not in a way where you take them for granted, but in a way where you are secure and comfortable in where you’re walking.

And then He said:

“I will translate you into another place—like a completely different park—where everything feels new again.”

At times, it might seem like you’re back in a place you’ve already been—but it won’t be the same. You’ll be in a different place, even if it feels similar.

I could see you moving through different environments—like different parks—each one distinct. And in each place, you were simply enjoying, exploring, and discovering what God was highlighting.

Even the things that had been there all along—but overlooked—became new to you.

And the Lord said:

“I will teach you to differentiate between what is ancient and forgotten, and what is truly new.”

Then He said again:

“I will expose the ancient paths to you. And as you walk them, you will pick up revelation that will be amplified to the people.”

People will come to you and say:

“I’ve never heard this before.”

And yet, somehow, they will already be aware of it—because it has been amplified.

I knew in my spirit—this is not just a word for a year. This is not something that ends after a season.

This is something the Lord is establishing for the long term—year after year, even as seasons change. You will remain on these paths.

And every time something comes into your hands, it will be amplified. You won’t be able to keep it to yourselves. Even people outside of where you are—outside the “park”—will begin to hear it. It will be as if it is supernaturally carried to them.

And people will say:

“I’ve never heard you speak, but I’ve heard you.”

So get ready for revelation and amplification.

Throughout the vision, sometimes I would see you simply walking. Other times, you were discovering things. But there was no pressure—no specific agenda. God would simply draw your attention to something, and as soon as you picked it up, it became revelation to you—and at the same time, it was amplified to others.

I believe the Lord trusts you with this.

And honestly, I don’t know many people who are walking on ancient paths right now.

This will likely connect to what you are writing, and definitely to what you are speaking. But don’t be surprised if, when you share something for the first time, people respond as if they’ve already heard it—because it has already been amplified in the spirit.

But they won’t fully understand it until they hear you explain it.

Also, what you’re picking up—it’s not going to look like polished or packaged things. It’s not like opening a pretty gift. It will be things that have been lying there—overlooked.

But God will cause them to catch your attention.

And the moment you put your hands on them, revelation and amplification will happen at the same time.

It won’t be like reading something in a book.

When you pick it up, it will become real to you—immediately.

After the vision, the scripture that came to me was:

“As you go…”

Heal the sick, raise the dead…

It felt like this would be a daily, ongoing reality—a lifestyle, not an event.

An “as you go” flow.

The revelation will be supernatural.

There will be things others walk past—but God will highlight them to you.

And you will know:

This has been revealed before, but forgotten or this is completely new revelation.

You will encounter both.

And honestly, this may be a lifelong journey.

I didn’t see an end to it.

In the vision, there came a point where I could no longer see you—but I knew you were still walking the path.

That’s how I know it continues.

So this isn’t just a season.

This is a path.
