Persevering for Purpose

As the people of God assemble today, may they join hearts and minds and prayer and persevere for the purposes of God in our nation. May they lift their voices together and cry out for a turning to righteousness and the healing of this land. ”If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2Chron.7:14, KJV)

To “Take Hold of” in 2024

LARRY BURDEN—Suddenlies will become more frequent in 2024.  Declarations will become more essential and powerful as we experience greater supernatural breakthroughs.  As faith arises in the body of believers, declarations and decrees will become more powerful with instant manifestations of the Father’s heart and desires. There will also be an increase in prophetic dreams that will release warnings and divine intelligence to assist in navigating the times ahead.  Dreams will become road maps to follow into victories.

In a recent prayer time, while praying in tongues, I kept releasing the word, lambano. I learned that the word is a Greek word translated, “to take hold ofto seize for oneself, to take back what is yours and make it your own.  It means to take possession ofto apprehend, to reach afterto take back.”  I see 2024 as the year to take back what has been stolen through the plots and schemes of the enemy. Lambano speaks of a grace and faith that connects in cooperation with the Father to literally pull down something from the Spirit realm into our earth reality. I see new mantles arising in obscure places, new victories being won by believers who simply trust and obey the voice of the Lord, and the restoration of lost dreams, visions, assignments, and destinies that have been short-circuited through the curses and slander fueled by spirits of pride, jealousy, and envy.  I see a divine reckoning in the coming days and a restoration of stolen promises and dreams through the Father’s heart for his sons and daughters.

Upheaval Ahead

MELISSA—I just heard, “There is upheaval ahead” and what I saw was a paved road being torn up and removed to expose the ground below it. Familiar, man-made resources are being undone and we are returning to the natural, God-made resources underneath. There will be upheaval when the paths we have been used to get destroyed. How will we know which way to go? When the limited, controlling man-made path is gone, our options will grow immensely. Next I heard, “Sensory overhaul.” When everything we’ve known starts shaking, we are going to get a sensory detox and rewire so that we can acclimate to heaven on earth!

Dark Forces and Being the Light

KATHY—If God’s plan seems absolutely impossible and unreachable in the present darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places of our nation and world, then consider that as evidence that we are at the point of an Awakening! When we look at our own nation, the evidence is in plain sight.  Or we could say that the stench is in plain smell. We are at the point of a “must-have” Awakening! Right here in these United States of America, in our “Christian” nation, there is corruption in high places with no shame whatsoever, and the world is watching. Dark forces with lethal agendas are targeting our entire way of life, trying to destroy our economy.  Then there are repulsive, perverted things going on deep within our nation’s darkness, deep as in literally underground atrocities in tunnels. Then, there are the numerous atrocities against children. There are those who spend mind-boggling amounts on drugs and elixirs just so they can live longer and live out their depraved lusts and reprobate imaginings. We must see the light and be the Light of God that pierces this present darkness that’s trying to rule the world. God’s purpose for America is to display His Kingdom, His rule, His power and His will being done, not to self-destruct as a nation and lead the world to hell.

Subtle Things Making Big Statements

Subtle things in the Bible that no one noticed until they were put in place and activated by the timing and purpose of Yahweh: (1) One Hebrew in Pharaoh’s prison (Joseph); (2) 300 men on a hillside outside a Midianite camp (Gideon); (3) 14 yr. old with a slingshot (David); (4) A baby born in an obscure stable (Jesus); (5) 12 nondescript men sitting at the feet of Jesus (ragtag, imperfect group of disciples); (6) A little boy’s lunch (feeding of 5,000); (7) 120 people having a prayer meeting in an upper room (believer-empowering, city-rocking move of Holy Spirit). Result: History Changed! Conclusion: Don’t give up!

Increasing in the Earth

MELISSA—My current life scripture describes the hope I’m feeling, “Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” (Isaiah 9:7) In the midst of utter evil and chaos, the government/Kingdom of God is increasing on this earth. The Kingdom of God is not just some realm above us that we call heaven that we will go to someday. The Kingdom of God IS heaven increasing on this earth NOW. This increase is exposing evil which is causing chaos in our world. Why is it chaotic? Because we have been living a norm that is far from the norm of heaven and it has to be exposed and overturned. So very many have been living like brainwashed puppets being directed by a puppet master whose intent is to rule and enslave through fear unto death. It sounds like a bad movie plot! When our eyes are opened, we see the horribly scripted reality we’ve been living which is far from heaven’s reality. The increase of His government is bringing stunning insight into what God’s original intent really looks like.

Self-Government — Choosing Right

KATHY — Self-government keeps us from agreeing with powers of darkness that use emotions.  Self-government keeps us from spiritual wickedness in high places that influences thoughts. The beginning basics of governing ourselves are (1) we have to know right to recognize wrong and (2) we have to choose right to defeat wrong. Consistently choosing right is the pulse of self-government.

Anticipating the Love of Jesus

As the people of God assemble today, may they anticipate and sense the love of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ today and throughout 2024. May that love lift their heads and hopes above the troubles and worries of the daily grind so that they carry out of that time of worship a new sense of overcoming their concerns.  ”But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory [and my honor], and the One who lifts my head.” (Ps.3:3, Amp)

Mind Getting Stronger

More in 2024–May the Lord grant that you realize you are intelligent, that your memory is improving, that your mind is getting stronger and you will comprehend and retain more in 2024 than in past years because God and His powerful Word are renewing your mind for what is ahead. You are connected to the mind of God. Prepare your mind for the extraordinary. “…be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Rom.12:3) “That… you may be able to comprehend with all the saints…” (Eph.3:18)
