Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s 2007, and what a year it is going to be. All the prophecies of the ministers of God are for a powerful year. At the Eagle Mountain New Year’s Eve Service, Kenneth Copeland had a powerful prophecy. Since I take shorthand, I got most of it and will probably send it to you tomorrow as the Pearls of Wisdom, just because it is so powerful a word. You might also want to go back to his prophecy for 2007 which he gave in November at the Victory Campaign at Hylton Chapel.

This is a year for the fullness of the glory of God to be manifested to sweep thousands, yes, even millions into the Kingdom of God. Jesus is coming and it is much sooner than anyone thinks.

I have been given several key words for the year which I am passing on to you. Ponder them and get scriptures for them so that you will be prepared for what the Lord wants to do.

The key words are: TRUST, KNOW, POWER, GRATEFUL, THANKFUL.

Do you remember the hymn about trusting Jesus? Jesus, Jesus, how I trust you. O for grace to trust you more. That is my prayer this year. That should be the prayer on every one of our lips. I trust You, Lord, with everything I am and have. I trust You.

I want to know Him intimately as my Father, my Savior, my soon-coming King, my Lord, my everything. Meditate on Philippians 3:10, especially in the Amplified Bible. And, of course, focus on the Ephesians prayers in the first and third chapter.

As a result of knowing Him, His resurrection power, Who is the Holy Spirit Who is resident in us, will be manifest in us and through us for the world to come to know Him as we do. We must prepare for His power just like we prepare for a wedding or a new baby. Nothing happens in your life with God without preparation and knowledge. We must prepare for His coming; we must prepare for His Glory; we must prepare an habitation for His presence. I can hear some people right now. What if He doesn’t come in my lifetime? What if this is all more of the same? What if it is much longer than we think? Well, what if it is? But, then, on the other hand, what if it is sooner than we think? What if it does happen in our lifetime? And since when does knowing the Lord God become a waste of time?

And the other two key words are the words, grateful and thankful. We as a people must learn to be grateful and thankful every day from the time we get up in the morning until we go to bed at night.

2007 is the year of the open door. Jesus said that He is the door. See open doors for your life. The main open door is the open door into the victory of Jesus. There are also doors that are not good for us that God is going to close. He also will provide doors of escape from that which is bad.

This is the year that living by love and living by faith will put us in the zone of victory where the evil one touches us not.

Prepare, get ready and live in the victory the Lord has prepared for us this year and every year.

We are in the year; now let’s make the most of it by staying in His Presence so we can be led by Him instead of by our own flesh and its contrary thoughts, ideas and actions. This will be the ride of your life and you will enjoy every minute of it. PREPARE!!!!!!
