Rejoice, O Barren

Rejoice, O Barren!
Galatians 4:27 27… “Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor…
Barrenness. What a painful and frustrating condition. Yet, in Isaiah 54, God’s Word to those who are experiencing barrenness is to rejoice — “Sing O barren”! Why? Because in the previous chapter, it tells us that the chastisement for our peace fell upon Jesus. (Isaiah 53:5) The word “peace” here in Hebrew means completeness, soundness, health and prosperity. In other words, all these benefits are yours today because Jesus has already been punished at the cross for your peace. That is why you can start rejoicing. So God wants you right now, in whatever area you are barren, to start rejoicing as if the fruit or yield you want to see has already come. He wants you to start thinking, speaking and acting as if the barrenness is no more. If you are financially barren, start planning for what you would do when your finances increase. I am not saying that you go out and spend recklessly, but start making plans for wealth and increase. The time to do this is when you are still in what your natural eyes see as a barren stage. You may say, “Pastor Prince, you don’t understand, the banks are chasing me!” God says, “Rejoice because you are prosperous in Christ.” In Christ, you are already blessed with every spiritual blessing, including prosperity. (Ephesians 1:3) “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9) If you are sick, start planning to do what you have not been able to do. Don’t rejoice only when the healing manifests and the pain is no more. Rejoice now in your healing because Jesus has already borne your diseases and carried your pains, and by His stripes you have already been healed. (Isaiah 53:4–5) Whatever barren situation you are in, rejoice and tell God, “Father, because of the sacrifice of Your Son, I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. You have already given me everything. So I am going to act like it is so and rejoice!”

2012: Year of Restoration and Reformation

This year will be one of restoration and reformation. New revelation and strategies are now available to discover how 2 do things outside the box. Please don't think of this as a "blanket blessing" in which everyone will receive automatically. You will need to press in and ask God for specific steps, and continue 2 clear any accusations you are holding against other people. Our own judgments against others will block the blessings from God.

Restoration: God is Revealing the Plans of the Enemy

The winds of change are blowing away the clouds and smoke that the enemy has placed in front of our eyes. This year we will see how satan has been lying, cheating, and stealing. This will become more evident as dishonest practices that have robbed people will continue to be revealed in business and government.

The Cries of Justice Have Been Heard

A backlog of promotions, repayment, and blessings are now being released from Heaven. In some cases it will start slow and increase steadily. In others, it will be like a deluge of blessings. Continue to ask God to repay you for any losses you have experienced.

Medical and Business Breakthroughs

We are going to see new medical breakthroughs this year. With the onslaught of diseases and viruses, God is offsetting this by initiating radical medical discoveries and cures.
There will be new inventions and business strategies released from Heaven. Some people will be shown how to make a million dollars overnight. Business partnerships will be formed to release finances for Kingdom projects.

God is Giving Key People Keys to Each City

I heard God say that He is giving key people unique understanding on how to reach a city or a region. Each city needs to receive a specific strategy to turn the city around economically and spiritually.

Vault of Heaven Unlocked

In December I had a spiritual experience in which I heard a "tumbler lock" of a big bank-type of vault click into place. I heard God say that the vault door of Heaven is now unlocked and finances for Kingdom projects are now available, including finances for new media and creative business projects.

Reformation: Dying will Bring New Life

Letting old ways go and dying to broken dreams will be a key to succeeding this year. Death always brings new life in the spiritual sense of things. It is a time to embrace our losses and look to God for new plans.

Awakening Begins

God has heard the cries of people who are longing for a new outpouring of His love and power. It is a year of preparation for greater things to happen in 2013–14. It is a year of preparation and realignment from the old to the new.

The Wait Has Been Worth It

We have been in a time in which there has been an abundance of prophetic words and revelation but the fulfillment of them has been quite scarce. The result of not seeing prophecy fulfilled has brought prophetic disappointments. This time has come to an end, as God will begin to answer prayer and fulfill prophetic words much more quickly.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,[but] a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12
This is a year of longings fulfilled: new marriages, babies, healings, emotional and financial turnarounds.

We Must Operate in High Levels of God's Love and Grace

A new understanding of God's love and grace is being released. It's a time to love people who are different than we are. Jesus said to bless those who curse u and love your enemies. God is rich with love. This is a year to grasp the depth of God's love and grace for ourselves and for the people around us (Ephesians 3:16–19).

New Operating System

On December 31st I had a dream that Microsoft had released a totally new and updated version of their network operating system. In the dream u had 2 pay $5,000 and get a special certification 2 use it. The software was being offered for sale at churches. When I went 2 buy it, all I could find were imitations re-packaging the old operating system called "Windows 98 Enhanced."

God is releasing a new way 2 operate and it will have a higher cost and lots of grace. Five is the number of grace and 5,000 means grace at a high level. We will need 2b retrained 2 move in the greater things of God this year. Beware of people trying 2 dress up the old way and say that it is new.

A Move of God is Coming 2 San Francisco that will Impact the World

I have had numerous dreams, visions, spiritual experiences and angelic visitations about a wave of the Spirit hitting San Francisco. Because there have been people praying and crying out 2 Him, just as God said that He would spare a city if He found one righteous person, He has found many who have literally been crying over San Francisco. Watch the Bay Area begin 2 be much more open 2 God this year.

Healing Hot Buttons

New insight will come from God on how to deal with some major political and social "hot buttons" that have separated people in the past. God is releasing the Spirit of Reconciliation that will bring healing of differences between people groups and nations. It will be important to engage issues from a "Kingdom mindset" and not simply a political one.

Let Disasters Pass Over You
This will be a fun yet challenging year in many ways. It will be important to keep our eyes focused on God's purposes for our lives. Pray that u hear the voice of God and know the steps 2 take 2b blessed through any downturn. Do your best 2 not focus on negative reports as God is going 2 allow disasters 2 pass over people who are looking 2 Him for solutions.
It is an amazing time 2b alive.

Blessings,

Remember the Promises of God

Angela Greenig:

Remember the Promises of God

 

Remember the Promises of God and Not the Threats of the Enemy
With the holidays quickly coming upon us, we must take the time 2 reflect on the promises of God, and not the threats of the enemy! Remember the destiny that He has for each one of us. You may not know yours yet, but keep pressing in, rise above your circumstance, and He will reveal it. You press in and you rise above your circumstance by keeping your focus on Him. Do not focus on the loss, focus on Him and stay in His glory!
 
The Lord revealed Himself 2 Samuel in a time when His voice was rare. First Samuel 3 talks about Eli, but how Samuel stayed in His presence, not running ahead of Him but waiting on Him. Samuel was not consumed or caught up in the circumstances. He watched the defiling of the priesthood in the temple, but he didn't let that affect him!

Daniel 7 talks about the visions in Daniel's dream. It was a dream that bothered him and troubled his spirit. However, and this is key... regardless of the visions, regardless of the prophecy of devastation to come to the earth, verse 18 says: "But the saints of the Most High shall receive the Kingdom, and possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever."

Friends, that is us! WE will possess the Kingdom forever!

"And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding." Daniel 2:21

Daniel 2:21 decrees that He removes kings throughout the world. Look around you – massive changes are taking place in governmental leadership with kings, judges, presidents, prime ministers, even families. It doesn't matter what label we have put on it, God changes the times and seasons. HE sets up kings and HE replaces them. We must recognize that a change is now, for the door opens both ways: whether it is for good or for evil.

When Christ came through the womb of a woman, a breaking forth took place that changed the course of the world. We need a breakthrough to go forth that will change the world through you and through me. When the Holy Spirit indwells fully in us is when change happens, for destiny goes before us. It is the Spirit who gives us the wisdom, understanding and revelation to discern the precepts, times and seasons. It is then that we are able to walk filled with His love, peace and joy.

The Kingdoms of the World

In Luke 4:1-13, we see how satan tempts Jesus with the offer of dominion over all the kingdoms of the world... Jesus rejects this proposal. Jesus' Kingdom in this age is not a kingdom of this world (John 18:36-37). He refuses to seek a kingdom for Himself by the worldly methods of compromise, earthly power, political maneuvering, external violence, popularity, honor and glory.

Jesus' Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom ruling in the hearts of His people, who have been taken out of the kingdoms of this world. As a Heavenly Kingdom, we can operate and maintain in this realm but it comes with a cost. It is gained through suffering, self-denial, humility, and meekness. It does require giving our bodies as a living and Holy sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). Fasting is a key here that enables us to stay on target; we then know we have complete devotion and obedience to God whenever we are struggling with spiritual weapons against sin, temptation, and satan (Ephesians 6:10-20). It means as Christians we resist conforming to this world.

"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added 2 u."Matthew 6:33

Those who follow Christ are urged to seek, above all else, His Kingdom and His righteousness. The word seek here implies being continually absorbed in a search for something or to diligently search for something. In this passage here Jesus points out His Kingdom and His righteousness in His Kingdom. We must seek earnestly to have the Ruler and power of God demonstrated in our lives. I pray every day that God's Kingdom will come in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit to save sinners, to destroy the demonic, to heal the sick, and to magnify the name of our Lord. King Jesus come and take Your rightful seat of authority withi

Your house.
Till the end,

The Year of the War Horse

John L. Moore:

The Year of the War Horse

Greetings all,
2012 is going to be the year of the War Horse, but to understand this we must first understand what a war horse is. In years past, when cavalries were common, generals would lead their troops into battle mounted on their "chargers." From Bucephalus to Traveler, famous chargers left their marks on history.

Horses have not been widely used in battle since World War I though both horses and mules saw limited use in World War II. They have been barely used since then though Special Forces adapted to the use of horses in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan.

My hometown of Miles City, Montana was historically a famous source for cavalry horses. Fort Keogh, located just west of town, was one of the primary U.S. Remount Stations during World War I. In fact, it can be argued that more horses destined for warfare have been shipped from Miles City, Montana than anywhere. The only other place that could rival us would be Fort Robinson in Nebraska. Fort Keogh was named for Captain Myles Keogh who died with Custer at the Little Big Horn. But, it was Keogh's horse, Comanche, that though severely wounded, was the lone survivor of Custer's Last Stand. Custer's horse, incidentally, was named "Vic."

The U.S. Remount program had a large influence in this area and throughout the West when the government upgraded ranch bloodlines by importing blue-blooded horses from the east to cross on western range mares. The history of the Remount Service is chronicled in the book War Horse by my friend Phil Livingston (co-authored by Ed Roberts). Another book, Horse Soldiers, tells the story of the Special Forces using horses in Afghanistan, and of course, some of you have already seen the Stephen Spielberg film, War Horse, which is adapted from a children's story set during World War I.

Chargers vs. the War Horse

In the photo below is our grandson, Creed Alexander Ferguson, on our retired gelding "Shiloh Glory." Shiloh, as we call him, was born in 1985 during the height of our first home-church ministry. His dam was a registered Quarter Horse mare with famous running bloodlines. This "bottom side" – as the mare's pedigree is called in America – carried the blood of Rocket Bar, Hard Twist, Go Man Go, and other famous sprinters. She had the blood of "chargers."

But, we must understand that a "charger" and a "War Horse" are not necessarily the same thing today.
We all know "Chargers" of sorts. And, if we are humble, many of us can confess to being Chargers. Chargers are warlike, militant, martial, and confident. They rush straight ahead at the slightest hint of battle. Famous battles, including Fetterman's Massacre in Wyoming, have been lost because Chargers charged ahead prematurely.

Chargers are great at arousing the troops, drawing their swords, blowing the bugle, and spurring straight into combat. They are not so great at planned tactics, strategy, and coolness under fire. A Charger often knows only how to charge, but a true War Horse knows how to handle himself in combat.

The "top side" of Shiloh Glory's pedigree is all Remount blood. His sire, Gold N Glory was by Mizpah Glory, and all this blood traces back to a once well-established Remount program south of Miles City.

Years ago we entertained a young woman from ABC Sports. She was a top rider on the east coast jumper circuit. The first time she rode Shiloh, who was a young five-year-old at the time, she called him a "war horse." A good rider, no matter what their discipline, knows it when they are mounted on a war horse. "Shiloh" has many meanings in the Hebrew. It was, of course, a meeting place with God, but the word – derived from its root, Strong's #7951 – can mean "safety, tranquility, happiness, and prosperity." Our Shiloh, the gelding above, was officially retired in 2010. We took him out of retirement briefly this summer for the grandkids, but war horses are not baby-sitters. Even in his advanced years, Shiloh's heart beats for the charge. He listens for bugles, not lullabies.

Actually, I considered putting Shiloh down this fall. His knees are arthritic and he gets thin in cold weather, but it seemed, in spite of all odds, that Shiloh was to see the year 2012. Because 2012 is the year of the War Horse.

All prey animals, but especially horses, have a "fight or flight" instinct. The "charge straight ahead" attitude of many "Chargers," can actually be a flight instinct rather than a fight instinct. It is not uncommon for insecure people to mask their insecurities with aggressiveness. Again, it is not the white-hot charge that is a measure of boldness as it is the calm perseverance of composure under fire.

2012, for the Body of Christ, will be the Year of the War Horse. But make no mistake about it, it will not be the rash and brash who are ridden to victory. It will be the calm, collected, and cooly courageous.

"Sleep, soldiers! still in honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the tenderest, --
The loving are the daring."
from The Song of the Camp
by Bayard Taylor.

Day 01 - Psalm Healing - Feeding The Soul

Introduction:
=========     Nothing heals our soul [our Mind, Will and Emotions] like reading a Psalm and a Proverb a day. It takes just a few moments but reaps a great reward! So today, feed your soul, the world is so busy, this is a Gift you give 2 yourself. Love yourself today, give yourself permission to love yourself. You invest in so many other people, begin 2012 by investing in yourself. 

Feeding The Soul... In the Psalms


Psalm 1 - The Way of the Righteous and the end of the Wicked -


BLESSED is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,  Nor stands in the path of sinners,  Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;


2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD,   And in His law he meditates day and night.

3  He shall be like a Tree Planted by the rivers of water,  That brings forth its fruit in its season,  Whose leaf also shall not wither'  And whatever he does shall Prosper.

4   The ungodly are not so,  But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,  Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6  For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,  But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

25 Kingdom Initiatives for 2012

Robert Ricciardelli:

25 Kingdom Initiatives for 2012

As we move into the new year, I want 2 share 25 key Kingdom initiatives that I feel are significant for every Believer. I am hopeful that these will confirm some things the Lord has already been showing u, as well as encourage u 2 pray into these initiatives for your own lives and for the Body of Christ. I pray that each of us would ask the Father 2 reveal 2 us our part in the Body, as we seek Him for guidance for His will 2b done through us. May the Lord Kingdomize your life in amazing ways in 2012 to further expand His Kingdom and His glory upon the earth.

1. Give 2 Caesar (government) what is Caesar's, and give 2 God what is His, which is our very lives. Jesus was consumed with His Father's Kingdom being brought 2 the earth. We must focus on Christ and His Kingdom rather than being overly concerned with political processes. Pray for governmental change, but let's look 2 God and not government 2 provide for us.

2. God is raising up new leaders who will stand for righteousness in the realms of government. This generation of Daniels and Josephs will continue to take their place in leading nations with Father's influence, presence, and wisdom in governmental offices.

3. Father continues to shake all foundations that are not built upon the Rock of Himself. Stand out with His light in the midst of the shaking all around us.

4. Utilize what we do have and be busy doing what we must do. Surrender all paralyzing fear and worrying about what we don't have or cannot do.

5. Understand and activate true repentance in every area of our lives, truly turning away from sin instead of just feeling sorry for our patterns of sin.

6. Swiftly move 2 forgiveness for every wrong committed against us. Allow His presence to eradicate bitterness from the depths of our souls. Forgive ourselves and move on past the shame simply because Jesus has forgiven us, and His work in forgiveness is complete and has made us whole.

7. We are not victims, for in Christ we are victorious. Choose to not ever live as a victim, because the revelation of Christ and His grace suffices for us daily. Live as a victor and flee from the victim mindset.

8. Let's accept and believe with all of our heart, soul, and mind that Jesus loves us, accepts us, and is for us in every moment of every day.

9. Remain overwhelmed by the love and acceptance of God where we are presently. We are children that are continuing 2 grow but we are also complete in Him NOW!

10. Acknowledge that our lives follow the way of the Cross, knowing persecution and trials will come. Choose 2 die more 2 self, knowing that it is the narrow way He has asked us to follow. As we die 2 self more, Christ lives through us and our joy is made complete in Him.

11. Enter the rest in God, in the rest of who we are in Christ. Rest from running around doing religious activities that He never called us to do. As we enter in His rest, trusting and relying on Him, we continue to be more than we can ever do!

12. Confident and humble leaders need to continue to train and release every member of their organizations into the ministry that the Lord has called them to. This training and releasing goes beyond the four walls of organized church.

13. Citywide transformation will expand as each individual realizes his or her purpose and calling, and is released 2 fulfill it in everyday life.

14. God's servant leaders will continue to be recognized and promoted because they seek to serve others with no concern of ever having to be served. Corporate vision never controls or usurps God's purpose for each person.

15. The Lord owns everything we have and asks us to steward everything He has given us. Ask Him how much 2 give and 2 where, always willing 2 give 100% if He were to ask that of us.

16. Kingdomized people will continue to bring godly influence and leadership to all the gates of the city. Kings and priests of God will lead by serving His wisdom and authority in the spheres of government, business, health care, media, law, church, and the educational jurisdictions of our cities.

17. Accept others and the blessing that they are, rather than being offended by them in their differences. Live with unoffendable hearts hidden in Christ. We do not need to see eye-to-eye in order to walk hand-in-hand.

18. Choose to see the good in people, pray for them, and love them regardless of if they change and conform to our ways. Believe for the best in others.

19. Every Believer must understand their journey and the continual process they walk in. Humbly come alongside others who may not be as far along in their journey or process.

20. Convergence can come as we truly love and become excited about the uniqueness of each other's differences, and value each expression of God's people.

21. Spiritual Fathers will have a heart of giving 2 their spiritual sons that surpass any thoughts of what they might receive in return through their relationship.

22. Seek to trash every idol in our life to be free in serving effectively in the army of our Lord. The greatest idol that we battle is the idol called "self." Continue to lay down self and become selfless in our pursuit of Christ and His Kingdom.

23. See the Kingdom of God beyond race, gender, or age, and seek 2 unite through all the diversity and expressions of His glorious Kingdom. In the Kingdom male, female, Greek, and Jew can work together in the fullness and likeness of Christ.

24. Prophetic accountability in the Body of Christ will increase as prophetic people move beyond subjectivity. As a Body, we will collectively hear the "sound" of God through the multiplicity of voices.

25. The earth will continue 2b filled with the glory of the Lord as more of His people move from religion to relationship while continuing to become one with God and one with each other. We will love as He loves, speak as He speaks, and do what He does, and we will be changing the world together, "AS ONE."

Make a Shift

Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda:

We Are At a Tipping Point -
Make a Shift!

 

The word for today and for this hour is SHIFT! We are at a tipping point. Many of you are sensing this individually, and we are certainly seeing this in our nation, our economy, and our world.

A tipping point is the moment at which something crosses the point of no return. It is the boiling point, the point of crisis, where momentum that has been building up behind the scenes suddenly bursts into the forefront. When it happens, the power released brings irreversible change.

The world is in a crisis. There is a clash of kingdoms vying for the destiny of our nation. But we, the people of God, carry the authority of Heaven to turn crisis into a shift toward the plans and purposes of God in our generation. Jesus said, "All authority has been given unto Me, therefore go into the earth and preach this Good News" (Matthew 28:18, paraphrased). The Church is the agent of change not just to bring people into the Kingdom, but to bring the Kingdom into the earth. We have a mandate to write history.

Watch for a Sign

A while ago, the Lord brought a young woman's face before my, Bonnie's, eyes. It was as if He were looking through my eyes at her. Although I had not been following her story closely, I recognized the woman as Amanda Knox, who at the time was appealing her case before Italy's High Court. As I looked, I heard the Lord say, "I want you to pray for amnesty and then watch for a sign concerning the season the earth is in because of the work of the Cross." For the next several days, that's exactly what I did. I did not know the details of her case. I did not know whether she was innocent or not, but I prayed for amnesty from the judgment that was against her.

A few days later, Amanda Knox's indictment in the murder of her roommate was overturned, and within hours she was on a plane bound for home after 4-½ years in an Italian prison.

Interestingly, shortly after Amanda's release, during the Feast of Tabernacles, we got a second sign – in Israel. Gilad Shalit, a young soldier, who was abducted and held by terrorists for five years, suddenly came home to his family after Israel ransomed him at the cost of 1,027 prisoners in exchange for his life. It was as if we watched Isaiah 43 play out before our very eyes:

Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. I've called your name. You're mine. When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end – because I am God, your personal God, the Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That's how much you mean to me! That's how much I love you! I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you (Isaiah 43:1-3 TM).

God is calling us to make a shift – a shift in our thinking; a shift in our intercession; a shift in our prophetic declarations; a shift in our expectation. We are in a season of amnesty. "Amnesty" means pardon for offenses against a government. It doesn't mean acquittal because of innocence. It means, across-the-board forgiveness, pardon, erasure of all judgment and penalty against the offending party. This is good news for us personally, and it is good news for the world.
 
Often, we hold ourselves, and then we hold others around us, in a prison of guilt for legitimate offenses against each other, and ultimately the government of God. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). But it is God's glory to wipe out our offense by the power of His shed Blood. And it is our glory to extend this amnesty to the world around us. We need to make a shift, and let the reality of the Cross and the work Christ did there shape our prayers.

Harmonize with Heaven

So how do we make this shift? It begins with aligning ourselves with the voice of Heaven. Too often, Christians begin to harmonize with a theology that displaces the power and work of the Cross. Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. The wrath and judgment of God was satisfied; He took the punishment for our sins, and by His stripes we are healed. This is the message of the Gospel that we carry – heal the sick, set free the oppressed, preach the Gospel, bring in the harvest with signs, wonders, and miracles.

If your theology has you, and your nation, in the crosshairs of judgment, today is the day for a shift in your thinking. The earth is in the crosshairs of the Cross of victory. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son" (John 3:16). A great exchange took place: your deserved judgment for His. When He came up out of that grave, He had triumphed over every principality and power, and put subject under His feet, everything concerning this world and the world to come.

Steve Jobs said, "We're here to put a dent in the universe." There was more than a dent made in the cosmos when Jesus clothed Himself in human flesh and came to earth on a mission. That mission is amnesty for the whole of creation. That's the Good News of the Gospel. It is the solution to every spiritual conflict between God and man, to every human conflict between man and man, and the answer to the groans of Creation.
It is time to step into the season of favor that came when Jesus took His seat triumphant on the Throne (2 Corinthians 6:2). It is time to go up into the city and take possession of our inheritance. It is time to aggressively take hold of God's promises and press into the tipping point for His glory to pour out on the earth today.

This is God's year to act (Luke 4:19). Jesus' life – death, burial, and resurrection – is the tipping point for the cosmos that is making a dent in history today. The earth is in the period of amnesty offered until Jesus comes, so let's get in harmony with Heaven and turn around, overturn, reverse and MAKE A SHIFT!

Windows - Keys & Doors

Paulette Reed:

Windows, Keys and Doors

 

Righteousness – Peace – Joy
In seeking the Lord regarding what He would like to reveal about 2012 (see Amos 3:7), I found myself in awe of His goodness and mercy. He is faithful and true as our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Heaven is His throne and the earth is His footstool. Truly, His Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy (Romans 14:17). If we notice any of these Kingdom keys missing during our journey with Jesus, it's crucial to stop and find out how the enemy stole the keys. Then, ask the Lord to restore them to our heavenly key chain, as they give us access to the Kingdom of God... on earth it is in Heaven.

The joy of the Lord is your strength, beloved. So, do not lose your joy or you will lose your strength. And, what about peace? Well, peace is foundational in our Christian walk. The peace of the Kingdom is deep and everlasting – nothing on earth can shake it or take it. We lean not on our own understanding, but trust, trust, trust in the Lord. As all things are being shaken, including individual lives, churches and homes, as well as the religious, political, social and economic systems of man, we must believe that it's all preparation for the inauguration of the Kingdom of God, an unshakable Kingdom (Hebrews 12:28). Therefore, we remain peaceful in the midst of the storms. And yes, these storms may include wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes and other calamities.

Perhaps as gross darkness covers the earth (see Isaiah 60) a worst case scenario question will help us arise and shine and stay focused on our Savior, the Light of the world.

Justice

In 2012, one major move of God will be justice! This year and beyond we will see more and more radical justice from Heaven released on earth. Perhaps we do too much binding and not enough loosing... God backs us from Heaven for both. We're moving into unprecedented manifestations of the Lord's "year of favor" and are about to experience seasons of "doing" justice by "being" justice. In other words, mature sons and daughters will simply reflect the character of Christ and go about their Father's business.

In regard to this insight, I recently had a vision of scrolls. The amazing part was that they were continuous scrolls, unrolling from Heaven to earth. May this remind us that we are to continuously "live out" Luke 4:17-18 which reads like this in the New Living Translation: "The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free.'"

Micah 6:8 states our earthly purpose succinctly: "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (NASB). And, if I may paraphrase Matthew 25:40, it's all about Jesus: "I AM the homeless sleeping under the bridge. I AM the hungry starving day by day. I AM the abused, the drugged, the poor and the prisoner. I AM the I AM.

Mother Teresa shared great wisdom as she "did" justice on the earth. Here's a quote of hers: "We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. There is a terrible hunger for love. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them."

Let's make love our greatest aim in 2012... and beyond. Holy Spirit was left on earth to do the rest.

Miracles

We will see more and more extraordinary miracles on earth, which are simply a manifestation of Christ's love.
And God has appointed in the Church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then MIRACLES, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:28
Enough said.

Windows, Keys & Doors

I keep hearing three words over and over for 2012: windows, keys and doors. I will share briefly here, but Holy Spirit will provide individual revelation throughout the year. You will begin to see these three words – windows, keys and doors – on books, magazines, billboards, etc., and you will not be able to get away from the Lord's prompting to search them out.

• WINDOWS

Heaven's windows are opening wide,
For those who brought Me offerings and tithes
I am about to create a landslide.

Blessings will flow from the top of the mountain
Down to My people, flow like a fountain,
For I am about to rebuke the devourer,
Run My people into My strong tower.

Also, the 10/40 window will be open and ripe for harvest like never before in the history of mankind. We will see extreme mission emphasis in the Church, and nations will explode with the Gospel.

• KEYS
Keys from Heaven give us supernatural access to the Kingdom of God... on earth as it is in Heaven. I also see natural keys being handed to Believers for homes they did not build, new businesses, ministries and churches.
A key is a tool for opening a locked door, used mainly symbolically in Scripture to speak of Jesus Christ's victory over death and His authority over Believers, or of the need of deliverance from the imprisonment brought to human nature by sin and the law. Keys are a symbol of Jesus Christ's complete authority as seen in Revelation 3:7 (see also Isaiah 22:22). Keys are a symbol of Jesus Christ's ultimate victory over death and Hell as seen in Revelation 1:18. Keys are a symbol of satan's ultimate defeat as seen in Revelation 20:1-3 (see also Revelation 9:1). Keys are a symbol of Jesus Christ's authoritative ministry through His Church as seen in Matthew 16:19, usually understood as illustrating how God's forgiveness is made effective through preaching the Gospel. They are also a symbol of living faith as seen in Isaiah 33:6 (see also Matthew 13:52).

• DOORS
John 10:9 tells us that Jesus Christ is the gateway – the door – through which we must walk in order to reach God. We will see more and more testimonies, messages and books about open doors (portals) 2 Heaven. A door is also a symbol of opportunity as seen in 1 Corinthians 16:8-9 (see also Genesis 4:7; Hosea 2:15; Acts 14:27; Colossians 4:3; Revelation 3:7-8). We see the door opened in answer to prayer in Matthew 7:7-8. We see the door as indicative of imminent arrival in Matthew 24:33, and we see the door as the entry 2 the coming Kingdom in Matthew 25:10-12 and Luke 13:23-25. 

Angelic Visitations

We will experience more angelic visitations as we experience more earthquakes. These angels will camp around those who fear God and will serve Believers in Christ as they do God's bidding on earth as it is in Heaven (see Matthew 28:1-2; Psalm 34:7-8; Hebrews 1:4; Psalm 103:20).

The Plowman & The Reaper

Some of us have been seeing prayers answered within 24-48 hours. It's an amazing time 2b alive!

In 2012 we will see the turnaround between seedtime and harvest speed up to such a degree that as soon as the seed is planted it brings forth. The magnitude of the harvest we are entering is seen in Amos 9:13, which says: "'Behold, days are coming,' declares the Lord, 'When the plowman will overtake the reaper...'"   May 2012 be your "LEAP" year!

Great Company of Women

The Lord will continue to raise up and release a great company of women in accordance with Psalm 68:11. The Great Commission is a command for 100% of the army of God... not 50%. We rejoice at the promise brought forth in Joel 2:28-29 that announces the new way God will be doing things. Peter declared that the prophecies of Joel were fulfilled on the day when the Holy Spirit anointed the Church with dunamis for ministry. From that day forward, ALL Believers would have the anointing of Christ for His service.

The Lord gives the command; the women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host. Psalm 68:11
It will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. Joel 2:28-29

Governmental Perfection & Authority

To write the number "twelve" in Hebrew, they wrote two Hebrew letters: yod-beth. These signify the hand (outworking) of the household in harmony under divine authority.

Twelve is the number of governmental perfection. Twelve is the number of the Church, both the old covenant Church of Israel founded by 12 physical fathers (the 12 sons of Israel) and the new covenant Church founded by 12 spiritual fathers (the 12 apostles). In the Old Testament there were 12 patriarchs from Seth to Noah (before the flood), and 12 from Shem to Jacob. Twelve persons were anointed by God for government: Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, Ithamar, Saul, David, Absalom, Solomon, Jehu, Joash, and Jehoahaz.
Eleven is the number of imperfection, disorder, or being out of order. Jacob had only 11 sons remaining at home after Joseph was lost and presumed dead. This portrays a measure of disorder. Only when Joseph was found and reunited with his brethren was there the order of divine government – the number 12.
The number 12 has a relationship to rule, along with multiples of 12:

• 12 pillars were erected at Mt. Sinai (Exodus 24:4).
• The product of 3 (perfection of divinity) x 4 (the number of the earth).
• 12 tribes of Israel (Genesis 49:28).
• There are 12 months in a year.
• 12 statues of oxen held up the water basin in Solomon's temple (1 Kings 7:25).
• God selected 12 men to conduct the census (Numbers 1:2-16).
• For 12 days, 12 princes of Israel brought gifts to the sanctuary (Numbers 7:10-83).
• There were 12 spies (Numbers 13:1-15).
• Jesus was 12 when He questioned the scholars in the temple (Luke 2:41-49).
• We see 12 legions of angels in Matthew 26:53.
• 144,000 servants of God – 12 x 12 (Revelation 7:4).
• 12 gates of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:12).
• 12 foundations of the Heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:19-20).
• The Tree of Life in the new creation will bear 12 kinds of fruits (Revelation 22:2).
