PROPHETIC WORDS FOR 2005
Awaken from spiritual slumber, from distractions,
and apathy. Awaken, watchmen, remove the enemy from your premises. Turn back the
battle at the gate - the enemy will always try to thwart My work. Deal with the
past and all disappointment and bitterness before you can move ahead. Make adjustments
in attitude, plans, goals ... make sure there's no presumption.
I have brought you through the Valley of Baca, for it has been a place of sorrow
and weeping, but you have indeed made it a well. The waters that flow forth from
your innermost being will not be springs of bitterness, but springs of compassion
for those who also endure pain and suffering. Come to Me, and allow Me to heal the
wounds of the past, for now is the time to put these things behind you.
You have endured grave disappointments, the pain of rejection, and you have seen
difficult days. You have even questioned your purpose and some of you have even
disdained your very existence at times. You have had the pins knocked out from under
you and have spun out of balance, but you will regain your balance, and you will
be restored and released to greater expectation and fulfillment. Hope is looming
on the horizon of the dawn of a new day, and the days of futility are ending. The
days ahead will yield the fruit of your labors.
Be released into great freedom.
Let Me heal your broken heart and
mend your shattered dreams. Dare to believe. Do not be afraid to go forward with
renewed faith and hope. The best is yet to come!
You are in school again and will receive instruction in warfare. You will be taught
how to use your most effective weapon, which is the Word of God. You won't have
to strive to learn this; I will teach you as you cooperate with My instruction.
As you go about your daily existence you will be taught how to effectively direct
My word against the enemy by faith in a more powerful way.
What you learn will be twice as effective as what you have known in the past. You
will be able to direct your warfare in ways that will not just scare the enemy but
bring great destruction. There will be an element of persistence as you repeatedly
strike the enemy until the battle is won. Your present understanding of warfare
will be changed, transformed, modified, and you will remain standing, upright before
Me, says the Lord.
A Year of Release
This is the year of release, a time to be released from all fear and bondage. Rejoice
in this special season of Jubilee when you can come again to your inheritance and
have a fresh start. But, this is also a time when you must release those who have
been held captive by your selfish motivations and manipulation. My people, you cannot
enslave anyone through possessiveness and jealousy. Relinquish control and liberate
those who have been bound and oppressed. This is the year of My favor, and it is
My desire that My people be set free, says the Lord. I will redeem and grant redemption
on every level - soul, spirit, body and finances, but you must position yourselves
by faith and proclaim the year of liberty.
This is the year to overcome fear:
1. generational fears
2. fear of rejection ... fear of man
3. fear of poverty, lack
4. fear of sickness
5. fear of failure, making mistakes, being wrong, failure
Stop striving and trust Me to bring instruction, wisdom and guidance. I will direct
your steps and give you the courage to obey My word. Trust and obey! There will
be a higher level of spiritual perception and revelation. Expect great things. New
boldness that will produce anointing and victory where insecurity once reigned.
Enter this new era, which will be pivotal to spiritual growth and maturity ... a
time of awakening and hunger for the things of the Spirit. Position yourselves by
faith to receive what I have promised. Negativity and discouragement will keep you
from success. Maintain a positive attitude.
Liberty and Justice for All!
I heard the phrase "Easy Rider." The Lord is going to bring you into
a new spiritual position of relatively no stress or strain. It is time for you to
truly come into the Lord's rest and enjoy His blessings. You have been faithful
to believe and trust Him. Expect a blessing.
"Catch a Thermal." Lift up and rise higher! For, you are about to
be released into greater spiritual heights and vision, which will bring forth mighty
revelation. This will be accompanied by greater spiritual authority as you speak
My word with power, for My truth will resonate in the hearts of My people like never
before because they have been prepared to receive. I place before you a hungry generation.
Go forth in power!
"Catch and release." You are coming into a time of catching a vision,
of discovery, and of opportunities to redefine life, God, country and your fellow
man. You will experience a surprising release from past bondages as you move into
incredible liberty. That liberty will I bring you into greater maturity and responsibility.
Do not be afraid.
"Ask, seek, knock." Begin again to ask for wisdom, seek My guidance
and knock at the door of My heart. Come; let us have sweet communion together. Let
us rejoice in fellowship. Let joy be your strength as you begin to overcome all
fear, for certainly this will be a year of liberation for you as you break out of
your cocoon and fly.
Prepare for a stretch
I want to prove to you that you can
do all things through Christ. I will enable you to accomplish all that you have
set your hand to. Don't be afraid to push beyond your natural limits, and I will
accomplish great things through you, says the Lord. Trust Me!
Small steps will produce large gain. Only believe! I have opened a door before you,
and I will lead you forth with joy and peace. You are released to rejoice your way
to victory as you move through barriers that would have stopped you in times past.
But, now they will only be minor hindrances.
Nothing is lost. Do not put too much stock in your ups and downs, but rather put
your trust in Me. For, in Me there are no highs or lows, but divine stability. I
never change; with Me there is no shadow of turning. I will cause you to withstand
stress without altering your position. Stand firm in the face of difficult times.
The Secret Weapon of Praise
Praise will be your secret weapon of war against the attacks of the enemy. You will
triumph even in the darkest hours through sacred worship in the secret place of
My presence. Psalm 63:1-5
"O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts
for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because
Your loving-kindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Thus I will
bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied
as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips."
You have sought for and waited for this spiritual season. Expect greater liberty
of soul and spirit. Your life is about to take on a new luster, and you will rejoice
to see a greater manifestation of My presence among My people. This is a season
you will not soon forget. Be exceedingly glad!
I saw someone sitting on a horse, and suddenly I knew your desire to see, experience,
and move in the power of the Spirit. And, the Lord says, I am preparing you to do
so. Prepare for a good ride, and remember to give Me all the glory.
Busy! The coming year will be marked by unusual productivity on every
level. You have been faithful and have yielded to My guidance. Well done! You are
a well-trained vessel of obedience, and you will enjoy the fruit of your labors.
Growth! Expansion! Your environment will be alive with your expression
of My presence. Creativity will abound as the power of My voice gives utterance
through you. Do not be afraid to give place to symbols that make a statement of
My kingdom.
The Seduction of Fantasy
Keep your hope in Me, says the Lord. Refuse to allow fantasy to carry you away from
the narrow path, often rocky, ever ascending. Keep a sharp eye open to the elusive
seduction that always disappoints. Your faith is strong and will serve you well
and reap great rewards, for surely I hear and answer the prayer of faith.
This is a time when you can draw near to Me, says the Lord. I know the hunger in
your heart and the thirsting of your soul, for many times you have walked through
a dry and thirsty land. I know the many demands that have kept you anchored, but
you are going to be like a hot-air balloon that will rise gently and soar on the
winds of My Spirit.
"Beautiful in elevation." Your soul rises before Me in the beauty
of holiness as you worship and seek My face. Come often; come boldly. Your seeking
heart is precious in My sight. I delight in your presence before My throne, says
the Lord.
Dare to believe for even greater things than you have yet seen or experienced. Exercise
your faith, for surely I will answer your effective, fervent prayer. You will become
a sign and a wonder to those around you whose faith is non-existent or weak.
I have given you hinds' feet to scramble up to remote high places in the Spirit,
and what will seem like a rocky crag will become a table of ministry before Me,
says the Lord, for I will set you in a broad place with plenty of room to explore,
examine, and understand the wonders of the mysteries of My kingdom.
Higher, Deeper and Wider
You will go higher and deeper and wider in Spirit as you seek greater revelation
of My kingdom. Expand to the right and to the left. Rise above your limitations
and delve deeply to find the nuggets of truth in My word, for truly they will become
priceless treasures to you.
You do not know what tomorrow will bring, but you can trust Me to bring you through
every difficulty as you seek My wisdom and guidance. I am prepared to prove that
your trust in Me is not in vain, says the Lord.
This is a year of opportunities for greater maturity and stability in the kingdom.
Refuse to neglect your great salvation and the gift that is in you, for truly the
enemy will do his best to derail you. Be strong and of good courage, for I am with
you, says the Lord.
Rejoice in this year of release from all that has kept you from progression and
fulfillment in My kingdom. I say this is a time to pursue and overtake the enemy.
You will draw out the spear and stop those who pursue you, and you will rise up
victorious. Trust Me to give you wisdom and to bring vindication.
You Are Worthy!
You have sought to know My face, to find intimacy with me and to bask in My presence.
The enemy has tried to restrain you by convincing you that you are not worthy, but
you are worthy, and you serve Me in truth and sincerity. I delight in your service
in the kingdom, says the Lord. Go forth as a vessel of honor.
You are a person of great faith and confidence in the things of the Spirit. You
have felt a greater need for spiritual growth and have gotten in touch with the
hunger of your soul for more of Me. Have I not said,
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be filled?"
Indeed, I will fill you up to overflowing. I have set you to rise up, build up,
repair the breaches and to restore. Go forth in boldness.
Questioning! Why does it have to be so hard? I tell you honestly that
I am directing your steps, leading, guiding and giving you wisdom beyond even the
questions that you could think of to ask. Take time to search My heart in every
circumstance, for I will speak with great clarity. Have I ever failed you, says
the Lord?
Clarity for the Path
Some things that have become a dilemma to you will now take on great clarity that
will cause you to see your path in this wilderness more clearly. Stay on the path
that has been tried and found to be true, and do not deviate from it. Your answers
will come as you seek the truth of My Word.
You sometimes feel like you are watching from the sidelines and life is somehow
passing you by. But, you have learned more than you know through observation, and
those lessons will serve you well. I say get ready for change and a stretch; trust
Me to direct your steps.
You have found an oasis in the midst of your desert. Do not be afraid that you might
drink bitter or impure water, for have I not said that even if you drink poison
it will not harm you? Yet, certainly the water is indeed clear and pure. Drink deeply,
says the Lord.
