As we move into 2009, I sought the Lord as to what He might have me share with His people for this year. In the midst of such uncertain times, it is comforting to know we can call on Him and know with a certainty that He will answer. After all, wasn't it He who said that IF we seek Him we WILL find him?I pray that as you read this, you will allow the Lord to minister to your spirit this word of encouragement.Janet* * * * * * *
“You feel like a late starter or that it is too late to start, but I would say to you, "No"! I still have high hopes for you.
Do not look at the perceived failures of your past. Those thoughts will only hold you down and hold you captive. I would have you look at the new day that is upon you now, and y et in front of you.
It is a day of vast assignments from My throne room. It is a day of vast opportunities. These are upon you and not behind you. Let go of all that you perceive to be lost and gain momentum in that which is already here and also in what lays ahead. The future is where it is at. The future is where hope lays waiting for you to possess.
Have I not said, "Take every thought captive"? So what are you waiting for? Do it! Obey My word and take every thought captive into the obedience of Christ. I will never disappoint you. I have proclaimed, “You have a future and a hope!” Jeremiah. 29:11.
Read My book. It is full of promises for you and your future.
Many would have you believe you have no hope and have no future. But this is contrary to My very word. I AM your hope and I AM your future.
I AM thrilled about what is about to happen to you. Do not be despondent or dismayed. Do not fear. I will make a way for you and yours. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I play by My rules, not the worlds. After all, I wrote the book.
I have told the story exactly how it will happen and turn out. I will reveal things that have lain dormant and hidden for years very soon to My people and especially to My prophets. Listen well to My true prophets. Do not be deceived, but know the true from the false. They will carry truth in their mouths and a sword in their hands.
These days are not for the weak, but the strong. I have allowed My people to go through the fire, and the floods of life, but those who have stood and not denied My name will go forth in the power of My Spirit.
You have come to a place of no return. No returning to the old. Old traditions of the past, old wine skins. No looking back regretting what could have been. Lot’s wife did that and look what happened to her!
I am pouring out My Spirit upon you, your sons and your daughters. Did I not say that they would prophesy? For indeed they have begun and it will continue as the day draws nearer.
I am bringing forth a people who are the true sons of God. They have been washed by My blood and tested by fire.
You may think you have lost momentum and strength, but in actuality you have not only gained momentum but also strength in My Spirit. What you have lost, I will recover. Have I not said, "the weak shall be strong and the poor shall be rich"? The harvest IS upon you. Seize this time and opportunity. It is on you now.
Do you understand the day that you are now in? It is all brand new and it is the day that you have waited for to accomplish great exploits by My Spirit. I am ready to show Myself mighty on your behalf says the Lord.
A true shift has occurred. Watch and see it unfold before your very eyes. It will surely happen just as I say,” says the Lord.
2009-- A Day Of Recovery.
