![]() I heard and felt this word yesterday morning for you all. Don't let fear or striving become your taskmasters in 2023. I hear the Lord saying, Come into my rest. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted in the nations and I will be exalted in your life as you REST in Me. Come out of the place of striving. Come out of the place of fear. I sense that for many of you this year is going to be a year where you face some of your greatest fears that have held you back. They've been like shackles keeping you in a place called stuck and God is calling you to come out of alignment with fear. Remove the shackles and step into His glorious promises…..but it will take the risk of faith. So I bless you, with incredible faith to abound and I declare over you, you will see the miracles flowing in and through your life, in your finances, in your health, in your relationships, in your opportunities. I see the Lord giving many of you golden keys to open doors that were previously closed or inaccessible to you in past seasons. And I just speak over you Faith that moves mountains, Faith that moves mountains. I decree over you that the mindset of the past that limited your thinking, that limited your forward momentum, that limited your energy and kept you in a place of exhaustion and sickness, I see Jesus coming with keys and He is breaking, He is shattering the chains of the past and He is saying "Not this time". It's time to move forward with Me." And He is extending his hand and saying if you will take my hand that I am extending to you and step with Me into the new year then there will be a precision in unlocking the plans that I have for you, says the Lord and it will be life giving to your body, soul and in spirit and eventually in your family. Why I say eventually is because in the shifting, I see that there are some realignments that are necessary and people will need to adjust to the new you as you step out in faith instead of fear. But I bless you in the name of Jesus to step out with His hand in yours following His lead in a powerful way this year. Thank you for all the ways that you have supported us! Thank you for all the ways you've prayed for us! Thank you for encouraging us as we step into new things in 2023 and I look forward to working with many of you in the new year. Have an amazing new year.

“Comparison will undermine your value.”
I could hear the Lord say it clearly and resolutely… I could hear the roar of breakthrough as if the fiery voice of the Lion of Judah released began to burn the stubble of man pleasing, insecurity and a false humility that grieved the heart of God. I could hear His call. Step up to bold, Godly confidence. The season of stripping and humbling yourself has done its work but now step into the call of God on your life with Bold Confidence. Then I could hear the rustle of movement in the crowd; the congregation, as individuals walked to the front of the crowd to volunteer for the assignment saying, “Here I am Lord. Send me”. “Just be resolute!” One of the capacities of man-pleasing to create its ungodly fruit is the ability to change someone’s mind once they have already submitted to God. I could hear the phrase “be resolute” as the answer to the man-pleasing attacks that had come to wage war on those who received their assignments. For some the primary assignment was to walk in sexual purity… for others the assignment was to take a stand and lead into new territory for all it was courageous obedience in spite of the many voices of confusion lingering in the air. The current of offence, and disapproval from the past was still ringing loudly in the ears of many having them question their call. To some the call looked like it didn’t make sense in the terms of human wisdom, finances, planning or preparation, they just knew to obey… The intimidation of the enemy still in the air… I feel like many of you are in this place. The calling to stay and stand in your calling, regardless of the confusing voices around you. If this is for you then I call you to sit in quiet and KNOW who you are… The ability to stand in the fray will be determined by your ability to hear from Heaven and embrace the identity the Father has placed on you. The calling is not always to do, but it is always to BE. This identity will keep you standing when the arrows of fear are flying around you on the battlefield. For many of you it is the call to stand and see the salvation of the Lord. Ex 14:13 For others it’s the sacrifice of time in prayer, in the secret place, waiting to see that hand of God move on your behalf... Do not look to man for your salvation for the salvation you need comes from the Lord... He knows and He sees. He sees where the hearts and minds need to change, where financial doors and strategies need to open up, where the wounded need to be healed and relationships restored or severed. He sees and He wants to answer your heart in the secret place. For others there is a pounding sound of marching feet ready for battle and you know you’re called to step up and join the troops for war at a level you’ve never seen before. Your yes here too is very important.. You need to step into formation and start marching… The call to listen and learn is another call I hear distinctly... new prophets are being trained in the quiet of the secret place, in the wrestle of the stillness. Don’t rush the process- stay still and receive the lessons from His heart… the wrestle is the lesson. Embrace it- don’t run from it.. Let it teach you the deep things of the Spirit... You can’t be delivered from the journey God has called you on to grow under. There will be new doors and freedom, but the journey is essential to the process of becoming… |
