2017
This year and every year hereafter, be stirred up to RECEIVE IT ALL from God – the full package, the full manifestation, the full blessing, the full victory. SETTLE FOR MORE! For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalms 84:11 NKJV)
“For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God freely and graciously declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood…” (Romans 3:20-25a NLT)
“Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God “Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.” (Romans 3:27-28 NLT)
Nobody pays the best for something to mistreat it Nobody pays the best for something to mistreat it. If seeing it suffer was the intention, you just leave it in its current state. “If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing Himself to the worst by sending His own Son, is there anything else He wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?” (Romans 8:32 MSG)
Manifestations are not governed by clocks, calendars or even prophetic utterances, but by REVELATION and FAITH. Our success, victory, breakthrough, deliverance, etc. has always and will always rest in our faith. "And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. (Luke 15:31 NKJV)
When a prophetic utterance is made, it creates an atmosphere where it’s easier to get in faith for it and therefore experience it. It does not guarantee it. Only your faith can do that! For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. (1 John 5:4 WEB)
to be a sacred, holy, and fabulous year. Dedicate & Consecrate 2017 Set it apart now to be a sacred, holy, and fabulous year.
Starting next week, January 8th we’re DEDICATING three (3) weeks to Prayer & Fasting at the top of the year to God and to His purposes for our lives, our families, our church, and our communities. "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. "But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, "so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. (Matthew 6:16-18 NKJV)
We DEDICATE 2017 to be holy and sacred with our seed We DEDICATE 2017 to be holy and sacred with our seed. In the month of January give a firstfruit offering. Firstfruit is a gift of any amount taken from the initial increase of the year (or any endeavor). “The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God…” (Exodus 23:19a NKJV)
Finally, we are CONSECRATING ourselves today through participation in God’s Covenant Meal – Holy Communion. Participation in Holy Communion acknowledges the extraordinary price He’s paid for our freedom and the precious grace He’s given to us to enjoy it all. “For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until He comes again.” (1 Corinthians 11:26 NLT)
