At this moment, we are a few steps away from walking out of an old year and embarking upon a season which you have never seen before. Take a deep breath and get ready for new and exciting purposefilled adventures. As you depart from this year, do not forget the lessons you ve learned. Because you ve made it this far, you have built a reputation that God s Grace has made you unstoppable. Don t ever forget the miracles, breakthroughs and unprecedented favor you ve experienced in your life.
The Lord says just this year alone, you ve made satan out to be a fool. He thought the attacks against you would break you, but they actually put a spotlight on your resilience, your gifts and your unyielding faith in Christ. If you remain faithful, loving and purposedriven, you will see these promises consistently meeting you in 2019.
Psalm 103:2-5 2 - Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 - Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 - Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 - Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Please know that for so many, it is a welcome departure from the old year, as you have had to overcome tremendous warfare. The Lord fully knows that some have been attacked in their personal lives because of their Christian stand, which affected their finances, their family and their relationships.
Others have had to overcome painful mistakes which the enemy used to try to make you feel unworthy of your calling, and trick you into suffering with low self-esteem, self-doubt and emotional self-sabotage. Understand, child of God, that 2018 was simply a training ground to prepare you for Kingdom Promotion.
The fact that the enemy could not prevent you from this moment is proof that you experienced Explosive Manifestations in 2018. In just a few moments, the faithfully committed will step into a time of divine and sincere restoration. Exodus 9:16 16 - But he has kept you alive, just to show you his power and to bring honor to himself everywhere in the world.
The fact that you are sitting in this building is proof that God is a SUPERNATURAL RESTORER. Just a few years ago, the City of Praise Family worshipped God relentlessly in stadiums, arenas, golf courses, large school auditoriums and huge hotel ballrooms, only to see Jehovah TURN IT AROUND. The seat you are sitting in right now is confirmation that the faithful (in this room) are about to see some major situations FLIP IN THEIR FAVOR!
Micah 7:7 7 - But me, I m not giving up. I m sticking around to see what God will do. I m waiting for God to make things right. I m counting on God to listen to me. The enemy s job was to distract us with obstacles so we could not clearly see the amazing gifts we ve been provided.
At this moment, the Spirit of God is revealing Satan s greatest trap, which is the fuel of all his attacks. As we move into the prophetic mission for 2019, The Lord God is both exposing and crushing Satan s greatest weapon against the People of God. That weapon is the spirit of worry. THE LORD DECLARES THAT AT THIS MOMENT THE ANXIETY AND WORRYING SPIRIT WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU INTO 2019.
Right now there is a spirit of EMOTIONAL and MENTAL FREEDOM being poured into the hearts and minds of every believer in this room. Galatians 5:1 (AMP) 1 - It was for this freedom that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed].)
Now, The Lord wants us to understand that the New Year does not secure new benefits, new blessings and new promises. These things are not attached to a calendar; rather, they are attached to our personal growth, our obedience and our faith. These are our instructions for us to experience God s Best in 2019.
Romans 12:1-2 (MSG) 1-2 So here s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it.
Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you and develops well-formed maturity in you. Isaiah 1:19 19 - If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Now for the Divine Mandate and Prophetic Theme for 2019. Please know that in order to see the manifestation of the following words, you must raise your faith to unprecedented levels. This is not just for you, but it is a multi-generational Word that will dramatically affect everything in you, your families and your communities. To increase your faith, God reminds you...
Amos 9:13-15 (MSG) 13-15 Yes indeed, it won t be long now. God s Decree. Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I ll make everything right again for my people Israel:
2019 will be the year that future history books will be written about your life. Again, raise your faith and prepare your hearts, because The Lord has designed 2019 as...
OUR YEAR OF DYNAMIC IMPACT!
Isaiah 58:10-12&14 If you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out, Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go. I ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places firm muscles, strong bones.
You ll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. You ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again. 14 - I ll make you feast on the inheritance of your ancestor Jacob. Yes! God says so!
This will be the Word that will summarize your 2019... Luke 1:37 37 - For with God nothing shall be impossible.
The Lord says engage and abide by these three directives: 1. Prepare for supernatural opportunities. 1 Corinthians 16:9 9 - For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 2. Clean up your life. Joshua 3:5 (NIV) 5 - Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."
3. Become so selfless that helping becomes more important than being helped. Acts 20:35 (AMP) 35 - In everything I showed you [by example] that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, It is more blessed [and brings greater joy] to give than to receive.
Now! LIFT YOUR HANDS ALL OVER THE AUDITORIUM! In the Name of The LORD JESUS, may God pour His SPIRIT OF PRODUCTIVITY UPON EVERY BELIEVER! MAY THE POWER TO MAKE A DYNAMIC IMPACT COME UPON YOU! May you see RADICAL BREAKTHROUGHS IN YOUR ANOINTING, HEALTH, FINANCES AND RELATIONSHIPS, AND MAY YOU MAKE AN INDELIBLE MARK UPON THE EARTH
May you succeed in areas your doubters said you wouldn t! May you defy even your own imagination! And may God touch the earth through your hands! Shout! Shout! Shout! For Radical Results, Explosive Manifestations and DYNAMIC IMPACTS have joined forces to WORK-IN-YOUR- LIFE!!!
Zechariah 9:12 12 - Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
