New Year's Prophecy 2015

God has given me a Word for 2015. Entwined in that is some particular words for The Gambia and my children and others that I am working with there. But I would like to let you in on a principle that will benefit you!

Apostle Bobbie Jean Merck always taught this: If someone receives a Prophecy, and it particularly ministers to your own heart, if you reach out in Faith and latch on, you may also partake of that Blessing, by reason of your Faith and submission to the Word given. So, that being said, I am releasing this Word, in totality, including the Word for Gambia. Be Blessed and walk it out to God's Glory. Amen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is the word that God has given me for the year 2015. As with any word I give, I give it with much humility and trepidation. So. please know that I have listened to what He has had to say and I’m challenged and now I challenge you.

Take off your shoes! As you enter into the New Year, I heard the Lord saying “take off your shoes. You’re standing on Holy ground!”
You’ve been seeking to do things, and you have had some success, but you are entering into a new arena. WE are entering into a new arena. What has worked before will not work here. What you have known will not be enough.

Even as Joshua met with Me, and my sword was drawn, it is drawn once again. It is time for a fresh circumcision of the heart. Your shoes represent your walk, both with Me and in this world. It represents mode, method, methodology, many things…
Even as I told Peter his feet needed cleansed from defilement, so too, you’ve been defiled by your journey. [Through this world] Remove those shoes!

Be free of your past; your past mistakes, your past efforts, your past way of doing things. Your shoes represent your lifestyle (my impression – may have been just for me, but it was that the lifestyle needs to change) your mode, your method of doing… You DON’T stand, and you WON’T stand in your own wisdom and your own strength! Do not rely on things of the past; they will not work where I am taking you. Take off your shoes.

Come face to face with Me. Let My Sword, My Word divide asunder, thoughts, intents and soul and Spirit. I Am doing a new thing in you, for you and through you! So, in you, for you and through you. This will require you to “be still and know.” Do not run ahead of Me in presumption. I will show you step by step. New ways produce new things.

But come into this New Year free of regrets, free of past problems, and free of man-made solutions. Let Me cut away all disappointment, fear and disillusionment. This is Holy Ground where I AM meeting with you One on one. So, again I say. Take off your shoes.

To Gambia I see a well-worn plough handle, an old fashioned wooden plough. It is sitting with blade on hard ground. You have worked amid frustration, disappointments… For some of you, you have stopped ploughing altogether because you are so weary. But your tears and your prayers and your efforts have not been in vain. I see corn! Tender shoots about 8 inches tall, bright green in color. It is time to tend your garden and nurture the coming harvest. Seeds that have long lain dormant are sprouting! There WILL BE a harvest in 2015. But only if you protect your fields in prayer, water it in love and and speak life. Don’t pluck up your seeds now! Especially, with negative words. Stay the course! You WILL reap. But to do so effectively and efficiently, you must change methods. You must let go of “the same old, same old.” That old plough is not going to work very well much/any longer. Embrace what I Am about to do and get ready to be astonished!

Love is the key to unlocking the door: Love ME and love your fellow man.
Take off your shoes and dance with Abandon the Dance of Wild Love and let ME refresh you. Drink deep of the waters of My Presence, My Spirit, My Love and be re-saturated and refilled. I am about to do a new thing and you WILL see it springing forth, says the Lord. Amen.

Welcome to the Year of New!

Don't waste the "new." Enjoy it, run with it, maximize it!  There's Changes and rearranges coming your way.  Know that you are not "the same old you" carried over into this new year.  God is at work, changing, rearranging, still working on you! You are going from faith to faith, strength to strength and Glory to Glory! Embrace the New You for the New Year of New Mercies and Blessings that GOD has planned for YOU!  Hallelujah.

 Isa 43:19 (AMP)  Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
 Psalm 96:1  O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Song of Solomon 7:13  The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. 

Lamentations 3:22-23  It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Ezekial 36:26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 

Joel 3:18  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 

St. John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

 2Cor 3:6  (AMP)  [It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive. [Jeremiah 31:31]
2Co 5:17 (AMP)  Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Heb 10:19  Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20  By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh,
Heb 10:21  And since we have [such] a great and wonderful and noble Priest [Who rules] over the house of God,
Heb 10:22  Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water.
Heb 10:23  So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.
Heb 10:24  And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities,
Heb 10:25  Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching. 

 

IT'S A NEW SEASON  by Israel Houghton

Chorus:
It's a new season, it's a new day.
A fresh anointing is flowing my way.
It's a season of power and prosperity.
It's a new season coming to me.

Verse 1:
The devil's time is up no longer can he bother me,
‘cause the Creator of the universe He fathers me,
and it's transferable my children's children shall be free;
it's a new season (it's a new season).

If you don't know by now, you need to know it's jubilee,
where debts are cancel and your children walk in victory.
It's so available to you right now just taste and see,
it's a new season (it's a new season).

Verse 2:
The new millennium presents a new horizon,
and no greater time for us to make a choice and take a stand.
All that we need, is resting in His hands;
it's a new season (it's a new season).

All that was stolen is returned to you a hundredfold,
Tried in the fire but you're coming out gold.
Cling to His hand,
yes, to every promise take a hold;
it's a new season (it's a new season)

Ending:
It's a new season coming to me.

More about 2012

2012. What I saw is all brightness and light. What I saw was bright light like of the noon day shining brightly. What I saw was good and goodness.  Just as Joseph saw the End of the Matter in his vision and did not see pit or prison, I did not see anything to cause a stumble, anything to cause alarm.  But I did sense that whatever may be hidden from view would have no power of sway as long as we stayed on the Pathway set before us.

For Abba tells us over and over, " I KNOW the plans I have for you..."
The Amplified reads this way: 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.

So what will our choices be? Do we choose Life? Obedience or disobedience? Do we  choose Intimacy or neglect?  Do we choose Trust or trying to figure it out on our own? Do we choose His Way, or our way? His path or the one that "seems right to us but leads to death?"  Do we choose to believe or doubt?  

How we walk out this year will depend on what WE choose!  God has already chosen!  He has already prepared a good path, a good life, a good outcome.  The enemy of our souls has prepared trouble, has prepared trials and heartaches.  But God has promised us, " Many are the afflictions of the Righteous, but HE delivers them out of them all." Psalm 34:19

So stand tall!  Be of good cheer even as Jesus told us in John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]"

He does NOT paint a happy, bright picture, just to trick you and trip you up.  It is our enemy who does that... reference please Eve in the garden of Eden and the pretty spin that the serpent put on the forbidden fruit... how lovely it was, how much she would gain by it, how mean God was to try and "deprive her" and "keep her down."  Uh huh.  And we know how that played out!  No, GOD is not like that at all.  What He shows us, what he says is ours and what we can have and be, really are ours and available to us... if we only listen to HIS voice and not the voice of doubt, defeat and fear, like those 10 spies who came back with the evil report.  
It was evil because God had already said He had (past tense) given them the land, but they reported not only the lay of the land, they reported their own thoughts in their hearts and polluted everyone except Caleb and Joshua. And only Caleb and Joshua entered into the land of Milk and Honey!

So, I encourage you in this New Year, BE of good cheer!  All is not glum and dark and lost.  For Jesus the Christ has already paid the cost.  So draw near with a heart of confidence in your God, believe His Word is true, Believe He will do what He has said He will do. Believe His heart is full of LOVE and good plans for YOU!  And as you do, you will see many mighty breakthroughs, for the GOD of the Universe loves you and will move Heaven and Earth just for you!

Word for 2012

This is what I have perceived thus far for 2012. I can only share what I have seen and heard.  I believe that 2012 will hold many choices for us to stay on the right path, or be diverted off by circumstances and appearances.  

I urge you to Hear From Heaven FOR YOURSELF and do not blindly swallow everything that comes you way, even if it looks good!  It is time to discern the TRUE from the profane and false. 

With that being said, below is my offering presented before the Lord to you to judge for your own edification and uplifting.  May you have a blessed and prosperous New Year in the Lord!

Heard:  2012 The Year to Hear From Heaven

Tom said while praying together:  2012 is the Gateway to the Future

Seen:   A stone fence with a white wrought iron garden gate with a beautiful path leading somewhere into the distance and the gate stood ajar and about half way open, inviting you to walk through it. In the middle over the top of this picture I saw a long golden trumpet pointed down from the sky, like a megaphone if you will.  The vision was all in beautiful pastels and light and bright but the trumpet was a darker golden color, like it was very old, (Not new shiny gold).  The path was smooth, well worn and light in color, like white sand.  There were wide expanses of green field on each side of the path and flowers around the front of the fence and gate, with a big old full tree near the inside of the gate to my left, (as if it were guarding the entrance.)  I could see that there were rolling hills in the distance.  It reminded me of a Thomas Kincaid painting!

I have been pondering what all this means.

Stone fence = Foundations. Boundaries. Line of Demarcation.  End of one thing, Start of something New. To set apart, distinguish.

Gate = place of authority, place where business is transacted. Also a place of judgment.

A wide expanse= prosperity, peace and quietness

A path= journey, walking with God, Way of Life

A Trumpet= Prophetic Proclamation, Revelation, Flow of the Spirit, Messages, Communication, Judgment

Hills or small Mountains= Strength, Stability, Refuge, Majesty

This is the Year to hear from Heaven, for you will hear many voices and many “prophecies” in the coming days.  Listen for my Voice and discern good from evil.  The voice of fear will be speaking loudly. Pay it no mind.  You have come to the place of no return. Will you step through boldly into the New Year?  Or will you allow your faith to be frozen by doubt and fear? 

Wisdom is yours for the asking. Come sit under it’s boughs and commune with Me. Shrug off the past and cast your gaze upward to the things of the Spirit, upward to the place that is your eternal home.  You have struggled in the past to hear Me clearly.  Know this; I am speaking, and it is specific to your part and your place.  HEAR what I AM saying to YOU. When I met with Paul on the road to Damascus, did not all hear a noise?  But only Paul heard the WORDS that were meant for his ears.  So it is with you. There is much noise in these latter days and many words.  Not even all of my words are for you, for I give direction to many all at once, but My Spirit, makes the words plain and quickens those that are meant for your ears.  Train yourself to breathe deep of Me and trust yourself in My hands as I teach you how to hear ME even more clearly. 

I have drawn a line, and I have mapped out the way.  

I will lead you step by step and day by day. The line separates you from things that have to go. It forbids passage of the old, for I make all things new. I am the God of new beginnings, the God of second chances, the God of Impossiblities being made Possible!  Only Believe, and Keep your eyes on Me. 

I am calling you into a new place.  A new place of freedom and openness. A new level of confidence. I desire you to be my Confidant, one in whom I can entrust My Heart with things that are dear to ME.  I AM calling you to a new realm of My Glory, to walk with surefootedness and stability.  I AM calling you to execute righteousness and judgment. Righteousness in your living and doing, and judgment against the works of darkness and the evil one. I aAM placing My Words in your heart, as My Voice you will hear, so listen carefully with your spiritual ear.

You have walked through many trials and fire. You have seen what seemed to be the death of dreams and desires.  Now look around at the Bright New Day. I am not saying there won’t be trials along the way.  But step into my Glory and there I want you to stay! 

It is time to dream again, so begin today. Be of Good Cheer, for I AM right here!  I will lead you on a plain path for the sake of your enemies. I will guide you with My eye, so look at everything with the eyes of your spirit and not your fleshly eye. You WILL hear my voice and if you obey, on the pathway of Life you will find new Pleasures day by day. 

When the storm clouds come, and even shakings too, do not fear, for I AM and will be with you.  I AM your refuge, your only safe place to be. So come into My Secret Place and there tabernacle with ME.

There in My Presence I will show you what will be, for 2012 holds many things in store, and not all of them from ME.  However, remember, I hold all things in My Hand.  By My Will this earth continues to stand! I AM the Master Planner, and I hold the keys. Although the heathens rage all the more, they shall all be silenced when the Lion of Judah roars! 

So, My Beloved, speak the Word back to Me, give My angels flight to do My bidding for Me.  I’ve told you it is My Pleasure and the Kingdom Keys I’ve given to thee.  So now unlock the doors and set many free!  Open your mouth my Beloved, and let ME roar through thee!

Psalm 18:19(MSG)  He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved--surprised to be loved!

Psalm 118:5 (JPS)  Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.

Psalm 16:11 (YLT)  Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever! 

Psalm 1:3 (AMP)  And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].

Psalm 92:12 (AMP)  The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].

Revelation 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
