As the year 2024 is coming to a close, we could look back and reflect on the triumphs and the challenges we’ve faced.
We’ve experienced our share of happiness and heartaches, but through it all, we’ve grown and learned.
Many people are looking forward to 2025 with anticipation and great expectation. As we ring out the old, and bring in the new, we wonder what The LORD has in store for us this upcoming year.
Will there be wars, rumors of wars, feast or famine, or will we experience the greatest revival that the world has ever experienced?
The LORD brought me back to a dream that I had in 1984 just a few days before I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
In this dream, my mother came up to me and said: “The reason why you dream of water so often is because you want to go back into my womb and be born again” I didn’t understand what that Dream meant at the time, but a few weeks later I was born again and began to understand the reality of the spirit realm.
Although I didn’t see any different, I knew that my spiritual eyes and ears were opened.
I was one of the fortunate believers who found a Spirit-filled church right away and learned the uncompromising Word of God.
Not long after, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. I learned the power of the Word of God and how to walk by faith.
I was taught how to hear Jesus’ voice through reading His Word. I found that there are countless ways that He speaks to us.
Some of the ways are through dreams, visions, enigmas, metaphors, impressions, and parables.
In the coming year, many of you are going to experience Jesus in a new way. He is going to take you on a journey.
As you recommit to the vision that you once had and pursue the dream that once fueled your passion, The LORD will ignite a deeper revelation of His Word within you.
It will be as fire shut up in your bones. You will have a renewed zeal when you read the Word of God. He will impart wisdom and download profound insights.
The more you pursue Him, the more you will have an awareness of His presence and walk in the Spirit.
He’s calling believers to re-evaluate their lives as they come into this new season so that He can take them into the fullness of what He has for them.
This is a time when we need to examine ourselves and walk circumspectly, correcting any area that is in error. We need to look at our priorities, our habits, and our relationships.
It’s a time to reflect on what’s working for us and what’s not. It’s a time to make adjustments and cut off every dead branch that is not bearing fruit.
As we get our lives lined up in the natural realm, then He will manifest in the spiritual realm.
Some believers will be restored back to their first love. They knew The LORD but somehow drifted away.
Some have gone so far off that they don’t know how to get back from where they’ve fallen. They need to simply repent and get back in the race.
He will stir up a hunger for the things of God that they once knew.
Many prodigals who have strayed will be coming back home, and others will discover the ministry of what The LORD has ordained them to do.
The LORD is raising up men and women to be His representatives. They will be ministers of every style, age, and race.
He does not judge them by their appearance, neither does He judge them by their past because He called them from their mothers womb.
He anointed their voice to speak with boldness and authority. When they are under the anointing their words pierce even the hardest of hearts. They will be used to transform the lives of many.
The LORD is empowering a generation of giant slayers, who are courageous leaders like King David. He was a warrior and a worshipper.
He slayed the lion and the bear and defeated Goliath. These brave and skilled warriors will be drawn from every tribe and background.
These valiant fighters will be just as the men of Gad who were trained for battle and could handle a shield and a spear.
Their faces will be like the faces of lions, and they will be as swift as gazelles on the mountains.
They will be like the Benjamites, who were ambidextrous and sharpshooters. They were fiercely loyal to their spiritual tribe and leaders.
The LORD will personally equip His warriors’ hands for war and their fingers for battle. The Kingdom of God will advance, and we will see a great harvest in the year to come says The LORD.
“And the Angel of The LORD appeared to him, and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!’” Judges 6:12.
“Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains,” 1 Chronicles 12:8.
“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe. In My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.”” Mark 16:15-18 .
