See All Words For The WeekAs we see the end of 2011, I am filled with a sense of deep gratefulness to God, for watching over me and my family this year. Like many around the world it has had it's share of difficulties and victories, but through it all, the Lord has been consistently kind and faithful, like He always said, behold I am with you always even to the very end of the age. We are in the closing hours of this year, and a new year 2012 will soon be here.
My wife Joann asked me, what did I sense the new year would bring, (this is an annual thing between us, as the Lord allows me a measure of discernment in preparation for what lies ahead) and my answer to her, I share with all of us here. I believe we are like Moses and the Israelites who were at the Red Sea, with the sound of the enemy in the distance drawing closer, but also about to experience the greatest miracle and outpouring of God's power yet encountered. That we are on the edge of something amazing, and God is about to do this work of deliverance quickly and move us forward into a new season. The key here is to exercise the God given authority He has already given, then to be totally expectant for God to work miracles, and then as we begin to pass through the way which He will open before us, make sure that we do not look to the left or to the right, but keep moving straight ahead, for the miracle of God requires a straight and steady path to be trod, and like Peter walking on the water, a faith that does not diminish the further we are from the boat.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, may the Lord work His mighty power on your behalf this coming year. I pray like Paul, "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe."
There are great things in store in 2012
Happy New Year
