The Search Builds Relationship

The Search Builds Relationship 

God often communicates with man in symbols and parallels. As Jesus spoke in parables, on one level, the natural mind could simply remember an interesting story; but the spirit of man could discern real-life truths within the story and act on them. Being stirred in spirit enough to search out and lay hold of the truth builds relationship with Truth, just as His disciples built relationshipmoonlight with Him as they sought Him out wanting to understand the truth. God still speaks through symbols and parallels whether in dreams or visions or parables, to lead to understanding – the intimate understanding and conversation of friends. Godly dreams display strategies, confirm plans and direction, and reveal overcoming truths. As we realize this, we realize how intricate and awesome our God is, and our understanding and love for Him grow in the search.

“It is the glory of God to conceal and keep close a word, a matter, advice, counsel, a thought; but it is the honor, glory, abundant riches, and splendor of kings to search out his word, his counsel and his thoughts,” (Prov 25:2-paraphrase).

Momentum Of God

We are getting caught up into the momentum of God’s workings. It’s not that momentum is increasing, it is that we are getting caught up into the momentum that God has for His Kingdom purposes.eagle-flying

Isa.40:28-31  “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;
31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.”

If there is no wind, if there is no momentum, why would the eagle spread his wings Jehovah’s momentum never slows and certainly never ceases.

DECLARE: “The wind of God is blowing, the momentum of God is advancing His cause and I will lift my wings and mount up close to God and run and not be weary in His purposes.”

Corruption Will Not Prevent

Scales of JusticeI declare that corruption will not prevent successes for the people of God.

Corruption is not unique to _______,  and corruption does not PREVENT profits from being made or successes occurring for the people of God walking in His Kingdom purposes. (You fill in the blank in the area you have noticed and that has you concerned, e.g., person, entity, nation)

Prov.29:16  “When the wicked are in authority, transgression increases, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall see the fall of the wicked.”

Declare: “Corruption will not prevent the people of God from moving forward in success for His Kingdom purposes. Corruption will not prevent God-ordained, key people from being raised up in government or in the justice system. Corruption will not prevent proper, beneficial entities from being raised up and supported in this nation. We will see corruption fall in 2013.”


 

Loved Ones Responding

I declare that loved ones and those we were in relationship with in the past, will respond to the Holy Spirit’s dealings and will come into the Kingdom as we pray and make declarations over them and as we speak to them words God has given us.family walking

27 From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to God 28 Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him. God has taken charge; from now on he has the last word. 29 All the power-mongers are before him —worshiping! All the poor and powerless, too—worshiping! Along with those who never got it together—worshiping! 30 Our children and their children will get in on this As the word is passed along from parent to child. 31 Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news—that God does what he says. (Ps.22, Msg)

Declare: “Family members and past relationships that have been lost will respond to the Holy Spirit and will come into the Kingdom for such a time as this.”

Creative Solutions

Creative Solutions
I declare that Creator-God will creatively bring about solutions for our families, our nation and Israel in 2013.

inventionBlessed is He who is so creative, our Lord God. If He can create such beautiful wonders that our eyes can barely believe what they are seeing, can’t He creatively bring about solutions and resolve concerning us and our nation and Israel? I think the answer is: “Well, He’s done it before!”
DECLARE: “He has done it before and He will do it again”
“Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch His breath. And He knows everything, inside and out.” (Isa40:28, Msg)

“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” (Jer.29:11, Amp)
“thoughts”: a device, a plan, a purpose, an invention (Thayer)

If need be, He can invent an event or a thing to bring solution in my life.

Identify Weapons

I declare that in 2013 God will enable us to identify the weapons that have been formed against our children, loved ones and nation.

Isa.54:17 says, “no weapon formed against you shall prosper.”

binocularsTheologians have said Ps.74:16 is an announcement of the universal dominion of God. “The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established the [starry] light and the sun.” (Ps.74:16)

He has dominion over all and over all things. Therefore, nothing may be kept from His awareness nor from His ability to intervene. 

He will disperse light upon whatsoever He will. He sees into the darkness–nothing is hidden.

Nothing may remain hidden and therefore, nothing can possibly be a surprise. 

Wisdom is to access His knowledge. Seeking His face in particular about this matter and giving Him opportunity and time to speak will bring His knowledge of those weapons and wisdom to pray and declare concerning them.

Declare: “No weapon formed against my children or my church or my nation shall prosper.”

Discoverable For Potential

Discoverable For Potential

I declare that in 2013 the potential Daniels, Shadrachs, Meshachs, & Abednegos will discover their spiritual fathers and visa versa.  And they will not only be potentials but they will do what those powerful young men did; they will confront and contradict leaders and nations unto the purposes of God because they had fathers who imparted grace and sufficiency to them.

father hugGod is turning the hearts of the fathers to the children to be “above” and “over” (Thayer) them so that they will cover the children like the roof of a house covers its inhabitants and protects them from the elements. If a father is “over” a child it is as authority acting for the good of the child, not to act in some way or perpetrate upon the child something that is not in complete harmony with the child’s destiny. The children will not reach their destiny without the covering of fathers who live and act on their behalf. The onus is upon the fathers, not the children.

It won’t do any good for the hearts of the children to be turned to the fathers if the hearts of the fathers are not turned to the children. The heart of a child turned to the father without the heart of the father turned to the child only results in wounding the child. There is no neutral position for father or child.

But the general bent of the hearts of the fathers of this generation, as displayed in this nation, is for gratification of self, not self-sacrifice. There is a self-preservation and self-gratification syndrome that has been heinously perpetrated upon this generation of fathers.

But the Spirit of Christ is wrestling with men’s souls to prevent a demonic holocaust that will wipe out a generation and its destiny.

When I got my iPhone, it was difficult to pair the earpiece with it. I finally got the instructions out and was informed that I had to make my iPhone “discoverable.” Once it was discoverable, my earpiece immediately paired with my phone and have had no problems since. We must make ourselves discoverable to the coming generation for communication and impartation.

DECLARE: “I will give of my substance and give myself sacrificially for our children to get to their destiny. I will be discoverable in 2013.”

“And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” (Mal.4:6, NKJV)

What of the New Year? — Keep On Knocking

What of the New Year? — Keep On Knocking

We will keep asking and seeking and knocking in 2013 that we may see those victories that we did not see in 2012. Just as the woman with the issue of blood pushed her way past the crowd around Jesus that she might touch Him and be whole, just so we will push past the obstacles and nay sayers that are between us and victory. We will ask, we will seek and we will knock all the way to the door of 2014… and beyond!

7 “Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.” (Matt.7:7-8,Amp)

What of the New Year? — The Path of Life

What of the New Year? — The Path of Life

May the Lord prosper you in the path of life that He has ordained for you in 2013. May He show you the life He has placed in that path for you and may you impart life in that ordained path. And when you have gone down that path this year, there will be many who will never be the same because you are a bearer of His life which is redemptive. Joy to you all year.

“You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” (Ps.16:11, Amp)
