Dear Family of God,
We wish you a Happy
New Year! God gave me a word for 2013
which I want to share with you.
Word for 2013:
“Look
not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for not
all is as it seems.”
As I was contemplating 2013 and asked the Lord
for a word… that is what He spoke to me. I thought about and had a few
snapshots in my mind of all these different scenarios that were playing out and
what things look like in the natural… But God’s Word spoke to my
heart that there are many things in front of us. Some are good and some
are bad. But, we cannot walk by sight, or by how we feel. We cannot even
use our senses to tell what is really real, for the master deceiver wants to
paint a picture so bleak, that we as Christians won’t even open our mouths to
speak. But we must speak the Truth of God’s Word. We must stand on the
promises that have always stood. We cannot let go, or draw back now! We
cannot fail to be with Him at the bow. For though it looks like it, and
well you may think, but our ship will not sink, as long as the helm is held by
the Masters firm and steady hand. So, it is time to stand! Stand upon your
watch to see. See those things that cannot been seen except by the eye of
the Spirit as though in a dream. So stretch out in Faith, dare to
believe, that He has given to you what you will need. So now just receive.
Many things are
presenting themselves to us, and a great deal of it is in the form of bad
news. 2012 has had some disappointments in it and our hope we seem to
lose. Indeed people made promises they could not keep, problems and
sorrows seemed to have grown so deep! Bad things happened with the threat
of more in store. Economic troubles make us want to go hide and just shut
the door! Things heating up in the Middle East,
will the drama never cease? Evil forces want to take Israel down,
want to wear her blood like a victory crown. Israel is not the problem, so don’t
cast your blame, for these forces want America’s downfall just the same.
The Great Satan they jeer, we don’t want you here! It is the lifelong battle of
darkness and light. But the struggle will not be won only by Power and
Might. It is Spiritual for those who have eyes to see, the natural
reminds us of our own mortality. It all comes down to choices, and what
will you choose? More lies to swallow with more to lose. Or, trust
the light of One you cannot see. Step out of Babylon’s bondage and finally be free!
The world is a place of wonder and delight, but the world system that runs it,
is full of chicanery and fright. So do not look for answers there, the world
has nothing which can compare with the Matchless Beauty, The Sovereignty, Truth
and Light found in the Heart of God, or the Love which burns so Bright. Jesus
is STILL the Answer for the world today. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers or give
heed to what they say. Yes, things out there are dark, and the darkness will
get only darker still. But now is the finest hour to be a light shining on a
hill! Will you take that upward climb? Will you, all the follies of
this world resign? Truly let your light shine! When you have given it all
to Jesus, then you are living with nothing to lose. So do not fear to come up
near, to that old rugged cross so dear. Divest yourself of all that holds
you back, from running fully on that glorious racing track. Do not look
at what you can see, step out in Faith and Trust In ME!
2Co 4:17 For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory;
2Co 4:18 (AMP) Since we
consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are
unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but
the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
Two men of God have
spoken to me and told me what they hear about 2013. Pastor Rusty Bowles
has told me it will be a Year of Activation. Many things will get activated. Pastor David Carey has said it will be a Year of the
Holy Spirit.
Do you see how these
two fit together? As we give place to the Holy Spirit and allow activation of
our faith and gifts for His service, the Holy Spirit will step in to move
through us, move upon us and for us.
Glory! It is time
for a glory invasion. It is time for God’s Presence through His power and signs
and miracles to be so in evidence upon this earth! We have had enough of
mediocrity. It is time for the sons of God to come forth! Problems
present themselves, begging for answers and solutions. We have the
Answer! His name is Jesus. He is the only one who can free us. So be free
from the cares of this world. The tyranny and demands that do not belong to us.
Truly God cares for us and is our ample reward and our shield. So loose any
fear, rise up, be healed, be whole, be still and know! Know that I AM
GOD! Hallelujah! Amen!
I
sent this word to the Pastors and ministers God had put into my care, but it
can be yours also- just believe and receive it!
I release this Word to you: May you rise up in
the strength of HIS Might, Be strong and Courageous and conquer every devil set
against you. I pray His Wisdom be yours, His strategies be revealed to
you, and His unlimited provision to flow from His place of blessing, to
you. I speak Apostolic Blessings over you now in Jesus Name. Rise
up, Be strong and Courageous. Meet your adversities head on with renewed
confidence and energy. Stay your course and Win. Victory is in sight, if you
see it by the eyes of Faith! ! ~x~x~x~ ~x~x~x~ ~x~x~x~
Due to network problems overseas and
phones gone bad, I have not been able to reach Pastor Ben or Titus, nor have I
received any recent emails. So, field
reports are delayed this month. Tom and
I packed 8 boxes of goods for Benjamin and they are at JFK right now. The
shipper is awaiting our payment. We need
$500.00 more to finish paying for the shipping.
I call it forth and receive it in Jesus Name!
Ola is busily preparing for “Gospel
Rocks Christmas 2013.” There is so much
to do! Venue and sponsors must be found, artists contacted, and rehearsals in
June somewhere in Los Angeles,
for the many voiced Gospel Choir! It is
quite exciting! Prayer points for him: for
wisdom and know how, Divine connections, Favor and supernatural funding for
this project. Thank you!
Even as Jesus told the man to
stretch forth his withered hand (look not at what you see) and he did and was
made whole, I say to each of one of you to “Stretch Forth in 2013!” Thank you for your love and support for all
of 2012 and reaching with us to touch the World! God Bless you mightily in the coming year,
and thank you for standing with us again this year.
Love,
Nancy,
Tom and the Board of Directors
