Free To Walk In Destiny

FatherSonMirror
Having  a cracked self-image, a shattered self-worth or a failed self-government, does not void our Father’s love or intent, nor His good plans for us!  If we learn to think in our hearts like that, that truth will free us up to walk in destiny and keep us from giving up before we become all God had in mind that we were born to be.  Father, may my life glorify you to the fullest extent.  Let me see me as You see me.  Cause me to value as You value.  Grace me to live honoring Your boundaries for my life.  May I live in the truth and may it be not only my freedom, but also my legacy.

Heat And The Future

HeatFurnace
It appeared on more than one occasion that Joseph would not finish his course. Power-people seemed to step in his way around every other corner. Yet, being sold for a slave was one of the steps that assured Joseph would get where he was supposed to be when he was supposed to be there. (Gen.50:20) It wasn’t simply a step in the direction of salvation for Israel, it also worked out some things in Joseph that he couldn’t take with him to the palace. Interpreting dreams in the prison tried and prepared him to interpret dreams in the palace. In the dark hours and the obscure places, he gained godly wisdom that would soon be in demand. We need people who know the future and have an assurance about the future. They are in great demand. They will always have job security. And, biblically speaking, it seems those people step into position with the heat of the trying-furnace still on them.


 


They Are Getting Over It

HandsUp

 

People who have said things about you in the past (even though they may have been right) are getting over it this year;  and the damage that they did with what they said you were, you are going to overcome this year and it’s going to turn around for your good.
“And they will say about you, ‘The Lord always does right!  God is our mighty rock.’” (Ps.92:15, CEV)


 


In Bounds Or Out Of Bounds

The third thing the devil did was offer Jesus a way to get what He came after by getting out of bounds on a shortcut. FenceBoundsSatan offered to not oppose Him and give Him the kingdoms of this world (Rev. 11:15). Jesus knew the kingdoms of the world were to be His, but He knew better than to worship Satan to get them. Jesus was a mature son of strong character, and He was so intent upon obedience and self-government, that He couldn’t be tempted by success any other way. Adam and Eve did fall for the temptation to get out of bounds and reach beyond the will of God. Then, evidently, they did not truly repent because they passed on the “thinking of their heart” to the next generation. Cain cracked his own mirror also by reaching outside God’s boundaries with a sacrifice that wasn’t acceptable. Then his self-worth plummeted and his self-government completely toppled when he murdered his brother.

Expectant Hearts

 

HandHeart

 

As the people of God assemble today may His people have a sense of the more that is to come of His purposes and His outpourings. May the hope of receiving and participating fill their hearts with expectancy.

“In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary–we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!” (Rom.5:5, Msg)

 


On Assignment

May we not get off assignment in this coming year.

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…”

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.

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)

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. 

dig shovelSo 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.

New Year Look Different

future

 

May the coming year look totally different as we look
back on it than any year prior has looked. May we say
that it had the look of answers, resolve and fulfillment. 

 “From now on I’m the one who answers and satisfies him.
I am like a luxuriant fruit tree.  Everything you need is to be
found in me.” (Hos.14:8b, Msg)

So The Enemy Loses His Nerve

We must end this year well in order to go into the new year well so that we can end the coming year victoriously.  Defeated_300We must determine to get rid of the old and get hold of the new.  It may cost us money, time, effort and purposefully applied energy to finish a season.  We may actually have to sit down, think and make a plan.  Finishing a season is very important because it disheartens the enemy.  “The wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul. It had taken fifty-two days. When all our enemies heard the news and all the surrounding nations saw it, OUR ENEMIES TOTALLY LOST THEIR NERVE. THEY KNEW THAT GOD WAS BEHIND THIS WORK.” (Neh.6:15-16, Msg)  Maybe if we finish something, we won’t have so many enemies breathing down our neck all year.

Glorify God In Your Sphere

The oranges on the orange tree are the “glory” of that tree. Birds are “wired” to fly, i.e., they are meant to fly. Fish sparrow flyingare “wired” to swim, i.e., they are meant to swim. Horses are “wired” to run, i.e., they are meant to run. Every time a bird flies, it glorifies God because it is doing what God created it for. Every time a fish swims, it glorifies God. Every time a horse runs, it glorifies God. Those three animals are showing the purpose for which they were created and reflect their Creator when they fly, swim and run. 

Every time a person does or says the things God specifically “wired” them to do, at whatever level they do it, they glorify God. Eagles have been clocked at 75 mph. They have been observed flying at 10,000 feet altitude. They are glorifying God as they fly at that altitude and at that speed. Sparrows have been clocked at 40 mph and have been observed flying at 300 feet altitude. But the sparrow is glorifying God just as much as the eagle. We Americans love “eagles” and put them on TV at great cost and we make sure they are able to rent huge auditoriums and stadiums but they are not glorifying God any more than the “sparrows” that speak and act redemptively at home, on the job, on the campus, in the hospital, in the downtown mission or jail, in the nursing home, in the store or restaurant. Jesus spent a great deal more time with three than He did with 5,000. Eagles and sparrows equally glorify God in the respective spheres He created them for.

Dismantle The Powers

The coming year will initiate a maturing season that will bring forth mature sons who get mature results for the Glory of their Destroyed brickwallFather.  When I read 2Co 10:3-6, this is what it says to me:  For though we are flesh and blood, when it comes to war we are not limited to physical frailties, human nature or human passions.  For the weapons and tools of our warfare are not fettered by mere human motives and passions with temporal effects.  Rather, we dismantle the powers of darkness by pulling down their conniving efforts to block our knowing God and His instruction that will cause us to prevail.  As we learn to pierce the piece God points out, we will see God-results.  Like our example, we will learn to merely do what He says do and watch God happen.

To Get It Done

Shake Hands AgreeMay the Lord help us to get done everything we need to get done this year. May we be able to reach cooperative contacts who will facilitate linking us up with the people and resources necessary for our goals. May filled-out forms and applications gain the notice of those who have the capability to act in accordance with our needs.

Whispers In The Wind

wind blowing plantsThe curtain rising on equipping insight may come in a vision.  Recently, I was concerned about some dear friends who are in spiritual war in a different region of Texas.  I asked the Lord for insight on what they were dealing with.  His answer was, “Whispers in the wind.”  Caught up in the moment, I did not speak but used my hands to war (Psa 144:1).  I thrust my hand in the air, snapping from an open palm to a pinching grip to silence the noise and shut up the foul breath.  Immediately, I heard, “Who are you to address me?”  The sudden comeback implied I had no legal right to touch a battle in another place.  The comeback also carried a threat that I’d better stay out of this for my own safety,  but springing from my spirit, I declared aloud, “’Greater is He that is in me’ is addressing you.”  Enough said.

Confident Of The Outcome

holding out hand stopThe curtain rising on equipping insight may come in a dream. Recently a friend had a dream that laid out priorities for dealing with an attack.  As she was being shot at on the way to her car in a parking lot, she never stopped walking toward her assailant and she simply deflected the bullets with her hands as she kept moving. Three equipping strategies came from the dream:  1) Do not allow the enemy to determine the rules of engagement.  She did not respond with the weapon he chose.  Instead she responded with a supernatural tactic.  2) Though the attack is personal, don’t lose time and momentum by feeling like a victim.  She did not run or hide to become the hunted.  3) Wield your supernatural authority offensively, deflecting and defeating every obstacle between you and your goal. We are about to grasp equipping that produces confidence.   Confidence comes when we realize the enemy does not get to decide the rules or the outcome and neither will statistics or the odds determine the outcome.  Equipped as mature sons, we can go into battle fully confident of the outcome.  She woke up rehearsed and equipped.  The follow-up challenge, of course, is to walk out that equipping and watch God happen.

(*In this dream we are, of course, dealing with typology and not suggesting you walk toward someone who is shooting at you with an actual gun.–MG)
