40-Day Prayer Focus: Initiating Your New Season of Enlargement (Breaking Forth into the Year 5766) |
November 15, 2005
Dear Prayer Warriors:
I am so excited about this next prayer focus. I have broken the 40-Day
Prayer Focus into EIGHT PARTS. I have declared that when you
complete all eight parts you will be initiated into your next new beginning.
(Of course, eight means new beginning.)
We have entered the new Hebraic Year 5766.
This prayer focus should bring us to the beginning of 2006. If I could
summarize the meaning of this next year in one sentence it would be: Watch
For And Recognize Your Divine Connections!
In 1986, when the Lord sovereignly gave
me the vision recorded in The Future War of the Church about
the church’s changing structure for the supernatural war ahead (the one that
we are now involved in), He said, “Know who you are connected to and
warring with!” He then showed me how the church evolves each ten
years in the changing world. We have now entered the third ten year season
and the next three years of the war season ahead. This year is the year for
maturing our connections for the future.
RIDING THE WIND of REVELATION!
Last year we entered the “Whirlwind Season.” Many of you
have felt the effects of winds of change all around you. For some of you they
have been spiritual. Others have experienced these whirlwinds in a
tangible, physical way. However, remember the Lord’s will is for
His wind to stir mightily in us causing us to roar victoriously!
Bless God for all you have experienced in this season. Since you are still
here, He wants to use every experience to define you. Now is the time that
we must CATCH ANOTHER WIND FOR 5766! We are moving into three more
years where our faith dimension must rise. During this time, do not fear the
wind and the waves. You have crossed the halfway point of this season of discipline.
You will reach the other side. However, look for the Lord to come to
you in some unusual ways.
Learn the word “COME!” Jesus is going
to teach us how to move forward on the waves of change around us. When He
told Peter to get out of the boat and “Come”, Peter’s faith became
buoyant. He was fine until he looked at his circumstances. This year
remember when you hear the word “come” to keep moving and not look at everything
around you. These next three years determine our future. Therefore,
expect the Lord to move on your behalf.
1 (One) Day to Bless the Lord
So many times we want to enter a new season without blessing
God for the last season—the good, the bad and the ugly. To bless is
to salute, congratulate, thank, praise, or kneel down. To bless someone,
you would kneel, and then speak forth and release an adoration or eulogy.
Before you enter into this next season,
spend a day doing that to the Lord. This will cause the Lord to bless,
or grant you favor for the next season. Make a list of defining situations
of the past year, then bless the Lord that He has sustained you in the midst
of these situations. Watch Him as He completes one season and opens up another.
Sing a song to Him, wave your hands before Him, and let Him know that you
love and trust Him for your future. Here are some verses that will help you:
7 (Seven) Days to Establish Your Mind and Heart for
the Season Ahead
This Hebraic year is 5766, the year of SAMEKH VAV. The
VAV is the connector phrase that connects seasons together. In Hebrew, the
VAV would correspond to the English word “and”. The VAV looks like a tent
peg. Think of it as a spear of revelation that is being sent from the
Throne Room to aid you in the midst of your days ahead. There are
several key points to remember:
Day 1: This is a year that the generations must connect. Read Isaiah 59:14-21 and Isaiah 60:1-2. Let the Lord show you three generations that you are connected with. Declare that all three will prophesy the same thing.
Day 2: This is a year that your support will come through your key covenant connections. Therefore, the understanding of covenant is very important. Also, watch for your supernatural covenants. Read Genesis 12, Luke 6:38, Luke 8:4-18, and 2 Corinthians 8 and 9. Analyze your giving. Giving is always connected with covenant. Covenant giving releases your future provision. Give a special offering to those that enable you to advance on your path.
Day 3: This is a year to extend the borders of your sphere of authority and establish your covering. Read Isaiah 54, Zechariah 14:16-21, and 2 Corinthians 10.
Day 4: This is a year to establish your building plan for the future. Build with your covenant connections! Read Jeremiah 29–31.
Day 5: This is a year for you to look at an extended horizon and gain revelation for your future. Then allow that revelation to overtake your past. Do not keep looking back at your past, but allow the Lord’s will for your expected end to take over what has happened in your past (Jer. 29). Expect miracles! Redeem your past so you don’t repeat it! Gain strategies of fulfillment! This is a time to let go and let God start a new cycle for your life. Watch the Lord overtake your wasted years. Read Acts 17 and Philippians 2. Memorize Luke 1:45.
Day 6: This is a time that He has abundant POWER to release. You will represent the King as His son/daughter this year! Read John 1 and Ephesians 1 & 2.
Day 7: This is a year to drive a tent peg through the enemy’s plan. Think Jael! Read Judges 4 and 5. Find your place in the warfare. Be like Jael. When the enemy comes near your tent, drive your tent peg through his head (that which he is speaking to you that is against God’s plan).
3 (Three) Days for Love to Abound
LOVE CONNECTS! LOVE wants the best for someone and
wants nothing to stop that individual from receiving the best that God has
for their lives. That would be our prayer for you as you enter this next season
(1 Cor 13, Luke 11-12).
Day 1: Respond to and LOVE GOD more than you have ever loved Him. Ask Him to invade your atmosphere and understanding with His character. Read 1 Corinthians 13, Luke 11-12 and 1 John 1. Study one of the names of God! (For instance, Gen 22, Ex 15, Ex 17, etc.)
Day 2: Gain a new hunger and love for His WORD. Don’t rely on past knowledge or understanding that you have developed in your methodology of seeking God. Don’t assume you know everything. Be teachable. Process God based upon present truth - not past wisdom. This will cause you to know the wiles the enemy has developed to defeat you from advancing. This will help you define your FIELD and sphere of authority and recognize who is in your FIELD that is spiritually above you. Also, as you connect know who you influence and who is influencing you! Read Luke 13, 14 & 15, and 1 John 2.
Day 3: This is a year to love God’s people more than you have ever loved them. The Lord is developing a koinonia war fellowship mentality. The church is moving from just fellowship into a mighty army that will do exploits. We will find our strength multiplied and synergized as we stay connected and advance. I am glad that we are connected and are fighting the good fight together. Read 1 John 3, 4 and 5. Memorize Leviticus 19:18 and Matthew 5:43. Pray for those in your life that are hard to love.
1 (One) Day to Allow New Strength to Arise
Be STRONG! Strength means the ability to withstand
your next attack. Let the Lord complete and fulfill various issues in your
life that you have been waiting for. May you lack nothing. End or conclude
this season and your projects with victory! Ask for all the supply that you
need to finish strong!
Declare that you are a mended NET! Declare that God’s healing grace will bathe all of your wounds and you will be healed so you can draw in harvest. Be satisfied by Him! Maximize your resources so you are completely filled. Then He will enlarge the place of your tent. Read Zechariah 4, Ephesians 6, and 2 Peter 2. Meditate on Isaiah 40:25-31.
Stand up, raise your hands, and receive a new wind of strength. Let the wind blow! Those who have remained strong and faithful can expect to prosper in a new way. Seeds you have sown are beginning to sprout forth. RECEIVE NOW a new measure of strength and authority. Let His love overtake you. Allow faith to increase. Let a new wind blow upon you. Do not fear your next attack for the Lord is releasing strength NOW!
8 (Eight) Days to Develop A Mind For Enlargement
Because you have endured, receive great benefits! Though
the FLOOD has attempted to overtake, GOD has come in like a flood. The LORD
has raised up a new STANDARD on your behalf! Faith will now explode and create
an atmosphere where things that could not happen will happen. The word enlargement
is linked with testing. Your testings produce a testimony. Once you endure
a test your testimony will develop in your spirit man. Your testimony overcomes.
Day 1: Do not fear testings! Read Psalm 66. Shout over every test you have and are encountering.
Day 2: Do not try to control your own time. Let your times be determined by the Lord. Read Exodus 34:24.
Day 3: Ask for and receive MERCY. Read Psalm 4.
Day 4: Extend mercy to others! Read Luke 10:25-37. Ask the Lord to make you like the good Samaritan.
Day 5: Put on your favorite praise song and sing in the midst of any barren structure that is trying to hold you. Re-read Isaiah 54:1-4, 11-14. Memorize Isaiah 54:17.
Day 6: Be open to change! Read II Corinthians 6:11-13. Make a list of places that you resist change. Acknowledge your fear before the Lord of situations getting out of your control.
Day 7: Allow your faith to increase! Read Luke 17 and 1 Cor 3. Memorize John 3:30.
Day 8: Receive authority! Read 1 Corinthians 12:14. Meditate on Acts 5:12-16. Do not be afraid for the gift of God within you to begin to operate. Pray for the sick. Decree healing.
4 (Four) Days to Tear Down and Get Ready To Build Up
Jeremiah 1:9-10 says, “Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched
my mouth, and the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root
out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.’”
Day 1: Desire to prophesy. Memorize 1 Corinthians 14:1-3. Ask God to purify your speech. Let Him touch your mouth. Let Him purify your heart so you can speak forth His word. Believe that He can use you to be a mouthpiece.
Day 2: Ask the Lord to reveal your sphere of authority. It may be your home, your workplace, your ministry, your state, or even a nation(s). Read Psalm 2, Psalm 84, and Luke 9.
Day 3: Ask the Lord to take an axe to certain roots that would hold you tied to an old structure. Meditate on Psalm 94. Read Matthew 3:10-11. Declare certain roots cut.
Day 4: Define what you are building for the future. Decree that what you plant in this season will prosper in the seasons ahead. Read Isaiah 60.
12 (Twelve) Days to Initiate You into a Season of Enlarging!
This is a time to pray in a NEW WAY! Ask for and receive revelation
for the next three years. I have been praying Psalm 118:25 for you:
“Send Prosperity Now!”
Another one of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 3:5-10:
“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones. Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; so shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.” (AMP)
This Scripture acknowledges the fact that the land and all its products were
the gift of Yahweh to Israel, and in thankfulness for His bounty,
all the firstfruits were offered to Him. By obeying and bringing our
best to Him in worship at the beginning of each month, we will see and experience
SUPPLY and HEALING released!
For instance, an offering of firstfruits, brought
to Elisha, was miraculously increased so as to feed one hundred persons (2
Kings 4:42-44). God will also meet His people in unusual ways this year
to break old cycles. Notice the situation where the man at the Gate Beautiful
was healed after 38 years of bondage (Acts 3). This healing created
a great movement in God’s people. This healing affected the civil government.
We are on the verge of one of the greatest moves of God in the earth
since the early church.
Here are some key points from Proverbs 3:1-14 that will help you. Read and meditate on this passage for 12 days. The number 12 means new administration. Please agree and ask the Lord to initiate or activate each one of these scriptures into your life. Ask for grace to be transformed.
Day 1: Pray in a NEW WAY! Ask for revelation for the next three years. When your circumstances begin to change, go with them. Do not rebel. They will set your future for the next three years.
Day 2: Remove any wrong emotion that would cause you to respond without the love of God! When your nerve endings are being stretched, let the love of God come in with GRACE! God will be breaking down thought processes and stretching to the limit, but that is the only way to expand.
Day 3: Break any mindset that agrees with lack or selfishness. When God says give, then give! Shut out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood. This will break selfishness. Do not expect something of someone else that you are not willing to do. That is hypocrisy.
Day 4: Find favor from God and from man. We must have new favor from new people to enlarge. We need favor from Him that will cause men to seek us out. The presence of God will cause men to favor us. Ask the Lord to position people on your path that you can connect with and be favored by. May you be SOUGHT AFTER!
Day 5: Faith works by love. Love is the only way we will come into a new dimension of faith. If we do not break into faith, we will not break into miracles. You won’t break into miracles just by asking for them. You must create a faith atmosphere that is greater than the atmosphere you have been in.
Day 6: Receive health to your body and strength to your bones. The Lord wants a testimony about nerves being healed to manifest. Memorize Hebrews 4:12 and read Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 7: The Lord also wants to deal with bones and structures. Structure is linked with ENLARGEMENT! God must rearrange the structure so you keep moving in what He is doing. Read Ezekiel 37:1-14 along with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 8: Let Him rearrange our time sequencing. Time is our biggest idol. Read and meditate on Psalm 31 along with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 9: May the Spirit of the Lord purify your blood this year. The Word has to get into your bone marrow. Quote out loud Hebrews 4:12. Read it in several Bible versions if possible.
Day 10: Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the firstfruits of all your income. We need to understand the firstfruits principle of God. This will cause your storage places (provision) to be filled with plenty and your vats to overflow with new wine (revelation). Give a special offering. Read Joel 2 along with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 11: Don’t despise your discipline this year. Because He loves us, He is pouring out discipline (or teaching). Receive teaching for your future. Read Heb. 12 with Proverbs 3:1-14.
Day 12: Decree that your mind is being transformed. Read Rom. 12:1-2 with Prov. 3:1-14.
4 (Four) Days to Stake Your Claim for the Future
Future is an interesting word that means there is a
“yet” time is ahead. . The concept is that we have an end that we are expected
to reach. Many people are gripped by the fear of what they perceive in their
mind that lies ahead on their path. Many have regrets from mistakes made in
their past and have a hard time believing that they still have a future.
We, as God’s children, should be filled with
hope. To have a future means that you are attached by a Divine cord to the
heart of God and He is giving you hope that your end will be greater than
your beginning. We should be extending our hand to readily grasp what is
ahead of us.
Day 1: Read Psalm 37. Meditate and memorize Psalm 37:37.
Day 2: Read Amos 9. Ask the Lord to give you revelation on the Tabernacle of David.
Day 3: Read Jeremiah 29 and Daniel 4. Thank God that He knows your path ahead and there is revelation and wisdom that He has kept sealed for you until now. This revelation will overthrow the enemy’s plans and schemes against you.
Day 4: Shout! Read Jer. 29:11-13 and Jer. 33:3 out loud. Drive a stake into the ground and declare that your future is secure. Rejoice all day!
This is a year that the Lord is extending revelation from heaven that looks like a stake or tent peg. Reach up and wait expectantly to receive what you need for your end to be greater than your future. Stake your ground (your portion that the Lord has for you) and decree that the best the Lord has for you will manifest in the three year window ahead!
