As each of you has moved through the year 2017 and into the New Year of 2018, you will have been aware of the intensity of emotional warfare that came upon you and your personal life. You watched as friends and family stepped away from you and left you in a kind of emotional mush. You have come through a season of sifting, as gold is heated up to high temperatures the dross and rubbish comes to the top and is skimmed off, this is done seven times until only the purest gold remains. You, My family, have been in the heat of the furnace right at its heart. 2017 was an eye opener for the many, for as the daily onslaught continued in your life, work, family and especially in church. The sifting brought to the fore the places within you that needed to be brought to the foot of the cross. You have become so sensitive to the moving and whisper of the Holy Spirit, as each layer of revelation of self has been repented of and removed. Each of you stand today on the 1st of January 2018, refreshed, renewed with a depth of excitement as those who have been called, anointed and prepared. You are the spear head of My army, as each of you are trained in supernatural combat and I send you out into the battle fields filled with My Kingdom Authority. You will search out those who have been disenfranchised and forgotten by society. There will be many that have been hurt in the pews and some will be found in positions of power over My people who have found the road harder to walk on. A fresh wave of supernatural love and worship will be released. It will be birthed from the heart of those who know Me personally. Your worship will be the starting place for everything that is coming, as we dance together in the secret places. Awe, will be the starting place as miracle after miracle is released. Cancer will be healed by the laying on of hands. The dead will rise, the lame will walk and the blind will see in MY NAME! The eyes of mankind will be lifted to the heavens and they will know that I AM the LORD THY GOD.
Luke 22: 31-32
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
1 Peter 1: 6-8
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.”
Philippians 2: 2-4
“Then make My joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
1 Corinthians 14: 8
“Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?”
Hebrews 12: 27-29
The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
Revelation 1: 7-8
“Look, He is coming with the clouds, and “every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of Him.” So shall it be! Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
