1 A Season of Birthing Part One Barren No More Sunday December 3, 2107 Habakkuk 2:2 3 Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what s coming. It aches for the coming it can hardly wait! And it doesn t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It s on its way. It will come right on time. No more barrenness Life is a process of diminishing dreams. This is true if we live only for self. There are 2 results if our dreams focus only on self-fulfillment Life either denies us achieving those dreams Or disappoints us when we arrive when we discover that the goals we ve achieved are far less fulfilling than we d expected and we re still powerless to stop the relentless approach of eternity. The believer can escape the grip of this cynicism and fully embrace life right to the end. The Bible is filled with people who had dreams and had many struggles and setbacks before their dreams were realized but achieved great fulfillment along the way. Abraham- Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, In Isaac your seed shall be called, concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. Jacob 14 years working for Rachel Joseph Pit Potiphar Prison and then the Palace Ruth widowed barren homeless a foreigner working in a field picking up scraps then Owning the field and fruitful Israel in Egypt slaves-- finally freed--canaan Jesus death burial resurrection seated in authority Peter Leader, failure, leader again

2 Paul Pharisee hell bent on persecuting believers Damascus road Paul A Young Man Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God 2 Corinthians 4:16 though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day Paul died with dreams still burning in his heart Old age had not aged his spirit at all Paul s secret was his greatest desire Phil. 3:10 I might know Him All God has to do is breathe in your direction for everything to change...producing life giving birth...vision and dreams requires intimacy...give Him permission to breathe on you and in you... To breathe on you requires closeness... The place of intimacy is where dreams and visions are birthed and shared The things of God are not hidden from us they are hidden for us... Stir my heart with your dreams and plans for me Lord Some of your times of greatest temptation to quit are the times God is drawing you into deeper fellowship with Him... To the very end Paul writes like a young man full of zeal and interest in life full of big plans and dreams for the future. Nothing is dying inside of Paul it s just getting stronger. though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day (2Co 4:16). Aging is a physical process that can t be halted but old is an attitude. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; Psalms 92:14

3 And even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hair will I carry you: I have made and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you (Is 46:4) I have made and I shall carry and I shall bear and I shall deliver If you are breathing there is still the opportunity for every promise to come to pass... When God begins expanding and increasing us He challenges us. Today is a day of new beginnings...a day of possession... transition... crossing over...going into... Caleb inherited the land he scouted What land are you scouting in your heart? Never surrender your destiny and future to other people...do the thing you were created to do and go after the dreams God has placed in your heart. Your eternal inheritance is priceless, untainted, permanent, and secure; and no one can take it from you as long as you choose to follow Him I mean absolutely no one! David's greatest battle wasn't Goliath- it was knowing who He was in the face of the opinions of others...especially some of his own family. Never allow the opinions of others to frame your world. Fulfill your destiny. Seek and walk with God. He will take you places you never dreamed of. I have learned, from the depths of past pain, it is possible to be raised up. It is possible to heal. Therefore, no matter who tries to knock you down, it is important for you to know that God will always embrace you, hold you, and help you get back up. Allow faith to arise in your heart and proclaim God's Word over your life no matter what you are facing...because God is a faithful God. Today I am praying God opens doors of opportunity and closes the doors to the things holding you back in the name of Jesus! I declare every cycle of loss, grief, hurt and brokenness comes to an end in your life and the abundant life of Christ is your testimony for your future! I pray a supernatural strength and discernment over you to step out and move into all God has for you today and in the season ahead! What is a God dream? A God inspired hope and expectation planted in the heart ( the way you see and perceive things...) of a man or woman...and its made real in your spirit...mind and imagination by the Holy Spirit...Its God putting a picture on the inside that's more powerful than anything around you and it shapes your future... "As a person thinks in their heart so are they As they are all along in their heart... so they are at last in act..."

4 As you are all along in your perception and the way you see are things in your heart so you will be at last in your actions and reactions... Today I declare a shift in our minds and our atmospheres... From poverty to prosperity... From sickness to health... From depression to joy... From down and out to UP AND OVER IT From bondage to freedom... From the old to the new... From hate to love... From bitterness to peace... From confusion to a sound mind... I declare over you today...these are surely the days of expanding you, of strengthening you, of increasing you. You are coming into the good...acceptable and PERFECT will of God! Genesis 12 is a conversation about calling a destiny dialogue purpose what God wanted to do in His life God is glorified when we are blessed... I PRAY FOR INCREASE AND RELEASE FROM THE SPIRIT OF DEBT OVER ALL OF US You are coming into a season of birthing that will take you to great breakthroughs! God gives us the privilege of participating in the creative process with Him Abram I m taking you from barrenness to fruitfulness I want to make your name great and prosper you to give you influence... Influence greatness isn t about fame it s about influence Your elevation isn t just about your ambition Your elevation is about God s agenda The purpose of biblical greatness isn't just to be great...it's so God can position us through His purpose to use us... God wants to exalt himself through you and me... A prophetic word for many here today You shall be barren no more Genesis 25:21 Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together

5 within her; and she said, If all is well, why am I like this? So she went to inquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said to her: Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger. The struggle in the womb (birth place) is because it s about more than you Prophetic release In this day of birthing forth the vision I ve instilled within you, do not be afraid to break past your traditional norms. For as I continue to inspire you to move forward I will also inspire you to innovate and invent. And in doing so you will break new ground. You will adopt new ideas and attitudes. You will implement new strategies, new innovations, and new improvements. For in this way I am stretching you, pushing you, pulling you into the realms I have called you to occupy. And my spirit will not only guide you, but will inspire you to take the new ground, in the realms I have called for you to personally occupy. I will press you to advance, but I will also show you how. I will press you to grow, but I will instruct you along the way. And you will see it come to pass, as your heart s desires begin to manifest before you. And you will taste of the goodness of my plans conceived within my heart, and you will know I am Love, and there is no one like me. As you continue to grow, the time spent in preparation will become evident. Your heart will remain steady, as your eyes continue to gaze upon the abundant life I will bring to your very doorstep. Like my plans for you, you were born from the depths of love from within my heart. And the immeasurable goodness of it all will wash away your doubts, hurts, fears, and disappointments, and you will be held by them no more. For you will see how my hand has been with you always. You will see my fingerprints on every page of the book of your life. You will recognize my handwriting and will know me as your author and orchestrator. And your heart will acknowledge the experiences you have encountered and how they have shaped you, trained you, and prepared you for today as well as for what is yet to come. As you continue to follow me your heart will become softened, your hope will become enlarged, your joy will be increased, and your well being will be abundant in every way. So be encouraged, My Precious Ones, as you allow me to inspire innovation and true growth in your life. Be bold in the knowledge that I am with you leading you and working in you to continue to accomplish my good plans for your life. We receive God s vision and plan for the rest of this year and beyond. Lord grant us a supernatural infusion of faith that matches the times and takes us forward, strengthens our spirit

6 to put a stake in the ground, opens our eyes to see the unlimited number of possibilities that surround us right now, inspires us to go after bold visions, and achieve extraordinary things for God s kingdom and birth new possibilities.
