JESUS Who Endured the Cross
As the people of God assemble today may they fix their eyes on Jesus who endured the cross, despised the shame and is now set down at the right hand of the throne of God. May they know that Jesus rose from the dead because there was more to come. “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 FIXING OUR EYES ON JESUS, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Heb.12:1-2, NAU)

God Is Digging Deeper
Declaration 1.—GOD IS DIGGING DEEPER
God is digging deeper into our lives to get more out of the way this year.
Digging deeper into layers to get out those things which are unnecessary.
So we can get more done, so that we may function to a greater degree in the coming year.
So that where we haven’t accomplished anything we will be able to accomplish something.
So that where we have accomplished something, we will be able to accomplish more.
Scraping more layers off so we can be in the Kingdom what we are supposed to be so that we may have the effect we are supposed to have.
Heb.12:1 “Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, (Amp)
As you are able to agree with and own these declarations you will be built up in your most holy faith (Jude 1:20) and you will have a tool to war with that can defeat the enemy at several points in the coming year.
Each year I pray and ask the Lord for declarations to make (1) over people within my sphere of influence, for (2) those with whom I have some degree of influence and for (3) those who desire to claim them and come into agreement with them in prayer. I am making these declarations to those with whom I have a degree of influence (Paul said, “I stay in my metron (Gk.)”—2Cor.10:13-15).
These declarations are for prayer points (points that we pray over regularly) and points of agreement (points that we put agreement to in the atmosphere—agreeing with the purposes of God and with one another). If you desire to be a recipient of and a participant in these declarations, you must (1) agree and you must (2) pray them through and you must (3) declare them (cf.Paul in Acts 27). These will come by prayer (and perhaps fasting) and applying ourselves.
Each year individuals, churches and prayer groups join us in prayer and agreement throughout the year over the declarations believing God for HIs (1) redemptive intervention in our lives, (2) our churches and in (3) our nation and for (4) enablement for our Lord’s Kingdom purposes. Each year individuals contact us to tell us about the declarations coming to pass in their lives after they have claimed them and prayed them through the year.

Away From Gravity Pull
God is making “all things work together” to pull us into His purpose. He has given us prophetic words which bring a divine “uncomfortableness” concerning our present circumstances. When we receive that prophetic word, it acts as a rocket booster, pushing us away from the gravity pull of “black holes.” Paul’s remedy in the face of such a pull was “I follow after, if that I may apprehend… forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” (Phil.3:13); the Hebrews writer also laid in this bit of helpful advice: “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us” (Heb.12:1).

Attaining Things Which Are Before
“Those things which are behind” must be laid aside in order that “those things which are before” may be attained. A prophecy can be a part of what makes up that “Divine Gravity Pull.” When we receive a prophecy, the word which we receive begins to propel us forward. When we are propelled forward we are truly being propelled toward something but we are also being propelled away from something. Prophecies should serve to help get our minds and emotions off those unfruitful things of the past. There are attitudes and mindsets, traditions and sentiments, failures and rejection that we must set aside in order to go on. “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Heb 12:1).
