What I Saw for 2014 - Part 1
As I was waiting on the Lord concerning the upcoming year of 2014, I saw Him take what looked like two cords and bring them together.
He did this in the way that you would take two electrical cords and plug them into each other.
The strange thing about it was that there were no visible connectors, He just brought them together and there was a mighty flashing and sparks flying as they fused.
I then could see the power race around the unified circle of these cords.
Once they were fused they became one unending circle.
As I watched I heard the Lord say I am bringing unity to ministries and ministry offices, and all who step into these unified ministries will experience the power of their unity.
John 17:21-23 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
The unity we have longed for will begin to form first in these united ministry offices and ministries, and as we see the power that flows through these ministries others will hunger for that anointing and will begin to pay the price for "the unity of the brethren.
" Ps 133:1-3 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! The Lord commands the blessing where-ever the oil of unity abides.
What is interesting is that the year 2013 has been one of the greatest challenges against unity that I have ever experienced.
Yet is this not the way of the Lord? Does he not send impossible challenges to us so that we will learn the principles that we need to function in the coming move of God? For 2013 the Lord led us to learn the powerful principles of staying free from offenses and a deeper walk through the truth of spiritual authority and the principle of honor.
How gracious the Lord is to prepare and arm us for the coming season.
For those who have followed the Lord closely and have not allowed offenses to remain and have chosen to honor those over them in the Lord the year 2014 will be a year of "COMPLETION.
" Truths that you have sought the Lord for will come into full maturity and will empower you to walk in your ordained purpose.
How will I know I am ready for the maturity of ministry? I heard the Lord say the key word for those who will walk in the maturity of their ministry is "HUMILITY.
" He went on to say that we will walk in the "maturity of ministry" to the degree that we know, walk in, and understand the beauty of "HUMILITY.
" James 4:6 6 But He gives more grace.
Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.
" Let me go back to the vision of the cords that were fused together by the hands of the Lord.
As I watched as these separate cords were fused into one unending unity.
I began to see what looked like electricity flowing in a great circle.
I could see where the electricity came together in such power the cord itself would enlarge and expand in that place only to go back to its original size as the current made its way around the circle of these fused ministries and offices.
This power moved in a constant motion.
Only where pride was detected did the power of the Lord abate and slow.
The result was that no one sought out these ministries to receive what they had.
Where humility reigned the people were drawn to the power that flowed so dramatically.
I came to understand that what has hindered the power of the anointing in the past was the unwillingness of those who walked in this anointing to allow it to flow from them to the next person the Lord was choosing to use.
I heard the Lord say, "You must support whoever I am anointing for this season with all of your heart for to the degree that you support and stand with them is the degree that others will stand with and support you when it is your season.
" This is the lesson of "due order.
" Do you remember when David wanted to bring the representative presence of the Lord home? He went out to bring the ark back but instead of receiving the blessing of the Lord he was judged for being out of "divine order.
" He learned that it was the "priests" who had the authority to carry the ark and that they must carry it upon their shoulders.
I also heard the Lord say the words "sequence and order.
" Even as the book of Ecclesiastes says: Eccl 3:2 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; One of the Hebrew definitions here for the word "time" is "season.
" Dear one, your season for being the focal point is coming, but what we have not come to understand is that "it is only for a season.
" Your season for being the focal point through which the anointing is flowing must follow a season of rest and refreshing.
I also understood from the Lord that our season returns in the timing and sequence of the Lord.
This is our great God's plan to keep His creation from burning out.
Soil that is not given rest becomes unproductive.
We have much to say about 2014 and how to co-operate with the Lord for this unique season.
