Happy New Year to all of you! Thank you so much for all you have done in this last year to stand with Amy and I. I have heard several words in my spirit concerning this new year and I want to share them with you in brief form. If you would like more on this line you can get my message from our New Year’s Eve Watchnight service.
Year of transition- I believe that we are on the verge of the greatest end time harvest the church has ever seen. God has been preparing His threshing floor Matt. 3:12 and cleaning it up with judgment and fire in order to make it ready for the final harvest. In 08 I believe that God is saying we should get ready for transition into this mighty move. That means we need new training, teaching, testing, and triumph over areas that we have not previously had the victory over.This leads me to my next point.
Year of the trump- God is going to play the trump card over the devil in this year. That means even when it seems the devil holds the best hand and the highest cards against you God is going to step in with the trump card of victory from the Cross and totally embarass the enemy and frustrate plans that he has been working on for the last decade! Hallelujah! The Lord showed me specifically June and July of this year as the months of trump card victory.
Year of suprlus- we all know that 7 was the number of completion, perfection, and rest but in the Jewish law God said to them not to plant in the seventh year cause they would be eating off of the harvest from the sixth year until the 9th! This means that the 8th year they began to plant again but that volunteer crops from the sixth year would still be popping up unexpectedly. Glory to God! In 08 I claim for myself and all of you that you would see harvest from years gone by that you have forgot about, and as you go about your business training and preparing for what God is doing now and next, you will suddenly see abundance that will come springing up from out of nowhere. God says that this is my goodness and mercy following you even when you are in a new season. The devil can’t curse you from season to season but God can bless you from season to season! What a mighty God we serve! Angels bow before Him, heaven and earth adore Him, what a mighty God we serve!
As you can see my heart is filled with faith and fire for this new year. There is an expectation of harvest from all the seeds of doubt, destruction, and utter despair the enemy has tried to place on me and my family this past year and even past decade. My soul is rejoicing in my God and the praise of the King will not be silenced from my lips. HALLELUJAH!!!
Isa. 29:17- Soon—and it will not be very long— the wilderness of Lebanon will be a fertile field once again. And the fertile fields will become a lush and fertile forest. 19- The humble will be filled with fresh joy from the Lord. Those who are poor will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 55:11–So shall My Word that goes from My Mouth It shall not return to Me void (empty without fruit) But it shall accomplish what I please. Matthew 24:35. We truly do serve a awesome God!
Dear Joel and Amy….Over the last few months I have heard over and over that 2008 is the year of the Open Door. The Lord says that you have been challenged….but not beyond your ability to accomplish what He has set before you. He says, “Trust Me for strength to overcome and endure. It is true that you and Amy can do all things through Christ who strengthens you both. The door of the past is shut and a new and exciting door is opening before you. Rejoice in this time of new life and hope.
I am so excited to be a part that OPEN DOOR at Bethany North! I thank you for the preparation that you have laid down for us as we studied the Book of Acts.
“Be open and yielded,” says the Lord.
Love you both and looking forward to what He has already planned and sealed as DONE! Ms. Charlotte
HALLELUJAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
