- The times that seemed lean or stagnant without much progress were really times of building & strengthening.
GG- Even though your situation and circumstances have been still and you have questioned me Lord why aren't things progressing? Are we stuck here? Will we die here in this dry valley? I have been building your strength despite you seeing that you are weak. For only in your weakness will my strength be made perfect. You have called this a lean time, but in my eyes this has been a time of building strength.
- There is a wind of refreshing blowing in carrying restoration and acceleration into the next year.
GG- This wind I blow is a wind of refreshing. It will be known as a time of refreshing. A time of regeneration. I will resurrect dead things in your life you thought were gone forever. I will restore hope unto you for fulfilled dreams and give you a creative spirit to launch out into new uncharted waters. I will return to you what has been lost. I will restore what has been missing.There is such power and momentum in this wind that it will be everything you need to jump start you into next yearI am bringing with me great wealth and prosperity for the faithful. I will restore honor and integrity. Wholeness. Nothing shall be lacking.
MT- Year of Jubilee
ES- "sweep clean the threshing floor. year of the restoration of ancestral lands and inheritances! we are going to see mantles, anointings, callings, and generational inheritances restored like never before. psalm 107:33-43 and I heard the Lord say that He is diverting rivers to the city that He has brought us to (including CN). Because we cried out for righteousness in dry and thirsty deserts He will divert the rivers from the fertile lands that have been abused. There is good ground in the wasteland because we have asked for it and as we keep our hearts set on His heart He will grant us a plentiful harvest!
GS- are heading towards a time where we're "the head and not the tail". The times of refreshing are coming, then the times of restoration (Acts 3). I was thinking of some barriers out there that have to fall... Speak grace to those mountains.
- The next year will be a year of new ideas and strategy. A creative and BOLD release of ministry focus.
GG-This next year will be a year of action. Creative action. Do not consider the things of old. Do not make your plans or create strategies based on what I done years ago. I will display my ability to create, design, and invent new things through you. This is a new time and a new age. New grace and mercies are available to you. I will empower you, but not like you expect. Arise to this new time. Be ready and willing to accept and embrace a new cadence. It is time to shift. Shift direction and plot a new course. Do not cling to old methods that are no longer relevant. Move ahead with me guiding you every step of the way.
ES- expand the field of your vision. go big with what you ask. pattern your declarations after the kingdom of heaven and see how my faithfulness will make good on the things you ask in my name. I am pouring out my strategies on those who are bold enough to ask. With the same measure you allow yourself to dream in me and then ask according to what has been poured out in your heart, with increase I will answer
SC- this is indeed the "Year of Jubilee" and the "Reaper over taking the Sower". God is waiting for to tell Him what it is we WANT. He has opened the Portals of Heaven to us and is now asking "What are we going to do with it. DO NOT limit yourselves to small things for I am a God of the never ending. I have much to give to each and everyone of you. As you search out my scriptures and pray them out you will the plans that I have for you
.
MT- bold in the "asking" and "claiming" that which God has promised. It's time to open their aperature and start thinking BIGGER. God is ready to release those answers. We just need to be bold and move forward into it
DS- Boldness in asking was a theme starting to emerge a couple of months ago when BR first contacted us ... I see it coming to greater emphasis ... pray like a bride with favor with her husband and their father, not a widow seeking justice from a judge
- Kingdom decree is vital in the next year. The importance of the spoken word like never before.
ES- the words of our mouths are powerful like never before. We are the bride and as such the scepter is in our hand to lay out kingdom law on earth as it is in Heaven. Likewise, we have an extraordinary responsibility to ensure that we are not setting out weeds and thorns. This is a time for sowing with our words, laying out seed. I feel the Lord saying that He has prepared the good soil and He is in the process of diverting rivers to water the laws and declarations that we place in the ground. There are infinite fields of harvest that will be gained from the seeds that we scatter in the next 2 months. He says, "expand the field of your vision. go big with what you ask. pattern your declarations after the kingdom of heaven and see how my faithfulness will make good on the things you ask in my name." I keep hearing, "the scepter is in your hand, the sword is yours, now what will you do with it?" Leading up to the Year of Jubilee the people would sow twice as much into the ground because the harvest from the Year of Jubilee would have to sustain them for 2 years.
ZA- we have to do warfare with our prophesies. This is the Lord's will, we can bring it to pass with our prayers or cancel it with our actions. we are getting ready for a monumental shift. faith is so important right now. It's always important but God really has His finger on it right now. God is wanting CN to bring forth great things and it requires GREAT faith, which we can only get from the Word...so we have to be immersed in the Word now. (let the Word of God Dwell in you RICHLY)You see, in prayer we ALWAYS travel by faith. And the size of our faith determines whether we go by Concorde or bike. Shift-Balance-Change is definitely a now word for all of us. you must instruct the body to write out their personal prophesy and do warfare with it. The enemy comes immediately to steal the word......then they look at the one prophesying and think..they missed it.........just sayin
BSJ- This is the time declared by the prophet Amos when the reaper shall overtake the sower, for the fields of our influence are white unto harvest. this is the time for decreeing and declaring the Lord's will into the earth. I heard the Lord say to me, "Ask what you will and I will bless it." The Lord is waiting on us to move out in power, and blessing, provision and increase will follow
- Greater revelation of the Kingdom and the Glory of the Bride
BSJ- All this week I've been hearing the word "reveal" over and over. And in my spirit I've been seeing this bright ball of light, white hot in the center with beautiful prisms around the edges and bolts of lightning flashing out of it. I believe the Lord is saying that He is about to reveal Himself in ways that none of us have experienced before.
GS- "unveiling"... The bride is about to show herself... I then thought of Isaiah 54 and taking away shame. I believe we are heading towards a time where we're "the head and not the tail"... Beginning to take our place with the rest of the Body... God is going to open some new connections... And even being examples. We know that this has to happen, but I sense it will be sooner than we think. The times of refreshing are coming, then the times of restoration (Acts 3). I was thinking of some barriers out there that have to fall... Speak grace to those mountains.
Personal note from ES- As we open into the year of Covenant Renewal, I am struck by remembering the times of the kings and prophets of old and how they would redirect and restore their covenant with the Lord. Over and over again they would re-read the law and the declarations of the prophets and as the water of the word would wash over the people their hearts would be restored to the covenant of love with their God. It is no mistake that such an intensity is being placed on the word. Even prophetically there more direct quote declaration happening and I believe this is the spark to the year of Jubilee release of the Covenant restoration that will take place this year. I have never been more hopeful and excited to be a part of what God is doing in this house as I am today, standing at the precipice of 2012 and looking at the Glory of God about to explode through His people like never before.
