We Have Appointments To Get To

Declaration 6.—WE HAVE APPOINTMENTS TO GET TO IN 2015

AppointmentGetToWe have appointments to get to in 2015 that were set up by our Lord.  But we will get to those appointments by things said BY US, whereas, if we listen to things said TO US we may miss those appointments.  We have been living, to a large degree, by things said TO US when we should be living by things said BY US.

Cf. Acts 27– Paul when ship was sinking; they were all saying, “We are going to drown”   v.17 “fearing”; v.20 “all hope taken away”; but Paul said, “This night angel stood by me and I must go to Rome”

v.22 “there shall be no loss”; v.24 “fear not”; “all will be saved”; “you must be brought before Ceasar”– i.e., ”you have an appointment”; v.25 “I believe God” v.34 “there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you”

Paul had appointments and he spoke those appointments and got to those appointments and he took others with him.
God puts people in the boat to keep it from sinking

Rom. 10:8 “…The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart…”

Lift Up Your Head

LookUpAs the people of God assemble today may those whose hearts are heavy from failures, defeats and grief of the past year, lift their heads, get a deep breath and realize that they are part of the family of God and that they have strength and fellowship through Christ our Lord and the family of God to go on to victories in the coming year.

“But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.  4  With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! (Ps.3:3-4, Amp)

Coming Like A Gust Of Wind

WindGustDeclaration 5.—OUR LORD IS COMING LIKE A GUST OF WIND

Unrighteousness and injustice are filling the nostrils like a foul odor and leaving a bad taste in the mouths of the coming generation.  They will no longer be spoon-fed the tired and fruitless dogma of humanism and the encroachment and centralization of government.  They will refuse to allow their vote to be bought with catch-phrases and empty political propaganda.  Their hearts are being turned to a future that is worth living for their children.  They are turning their hearts to truth and to biblical values.

Jn.3:8 “The wind blows where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going…” (Amp)

Ps. 18:10 “…he soared on the wings of the wind.”

No matter how high the walls that are built, they can’t keep God out.

A Process Completed

mail slots

 

Declaration 4.—I SAW AN OLD-TIMEY POSTMASTER putting mail in slots.

The slots represented people and the matters concerning them.  The delivering of the mail was a completing of, was an end of, the process of those troubled people and troubling matters — like the mail being put up, finally delivered—process completed.

Ps.138:7 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.”   8 “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever–forsake not the works of Your own hands.”

“perfect”: complete; bring to an end

In our lives, God is bringing to an end things that have lingered on from years past.

The Account Is Closed

account bookDeclaration 3.—THE ACCOUNT IS CLOSED 

Our God is declaring that the account is closed where the enemy has been depositing fodder to shoot at you and depositing currency to spend against you.  

(fodder:  criticisms, faults, failures, accusations, short-comings).

Rom.4:25 “Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God].” (Amp)

The Coming Year And Expectancy

holding hands highAs the people of God assemble today may they join hands and hearts and look toward the coming year with expectancy for the purposes of the Lord in each other and the victorious intervention of the Lord in their behalf.

“Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy, to the assembly (church) of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah): Grace (spiritual blessing and divine favor) to you and [heart] peace.” (1Thess.1:1, Amp)
