These thoughts have
been coming since early December. I've kept them to myself but feel now
they should be shared.
Blessings to you all.

There's
More in Store in 2004
God is a God of increase. He is
revealing and releasing more of the beauty of His holiness in His Son
and His kingdom and through Him in His people. (Isaiah 9:7) He is
revealing more of the evil of Satan in people and his kingdom, ruling
through the Queen of Babylon. (Revelation 17:1-2; Revelation 18:3)
He has more for His people which will be revealed and imparted to them
in 2004. He will release more of His abundance, of His nature, of His
plan, of His eternal destiny and will, to and through His people in
2004. He will release more of His love of righteousness and His hatred
of evil. God will reveal, impart and release through His people more of
His plan and actions as He shakes the heavens and earth so that all
things are brought under the dominion of His Son, the reigning king of
kings.
There will be an increase of a holy
reverence for God as He calls His people to pursue peace
and holiness with all people. The manifestation of God's presence will
increase, resulting in gatherings where the only focus is on Him and the
people are awe struck with the purity if His presence. Signs and wonders
will be an offshoot of these gatherings and a holy hush will pervade the
atmosphere in these times. The truth will be realized that we are His
temple and He has come to cleanse and purify His temple. We will know
Him intimately as we know ourselves as His bride. Our hearts, His
temple, will become increasingly prepared as a place of continual
spiritual worship of the Bridegroom and a dwelling place for Our Father.
There will be an increase of unity in the
body of Christ as our spirits become increasingly aware
of His presence in us and we become united in spirit with His Spirit. We
will have divine revelation of the things which have kept us divided
within ourselves as He gives us grace to become united in body soul and
spirit with Himself. We will truly experience in a deeper way His
ability to cause us to love Him with all of our spirit, soul and body.
We will have a deeper sense of His plan to bring all of His people into
the ability to know and live in His divine plan and purpose for them. We
will see many of the denominational strongholds revealed which have kept
members from seeing Him in all of His people. Some denominations will
repent of these things, others will resist seeing them, causing many of
their people to leave. The increased revelation of the glory of God in
Christ in His people will begin to destroy all that is not of Christ in
His temple.
There will be an increase of the wooing
power of the Holy Spirit to bring people out of the
dominion of Babylon, into the wilderness, to be prepared for the
upcoming battle with the spirit of the antichrist. The place of the
wilderness will be a training ground for the coming spiritual war. Many
who are already in the wilderness, not sure of why they are where they
are, will begin to see God's eternal plan for them revealed. They will
know they have been prepared and positioned for the great and terrible
day of the Lord. They will know they are called to hear Him who is
speaking from heaven, and to be way preparers for Him who is coming in
glory, revealing His glory to the world through their lives and
testimony. They will know that they have been sent to help others come
out of the ways of Babylon, through the wilderness, and into the land of
their hearts. They will see that their own difficulties have only been
allowed for them to be prepared and trained in helping others come out
of Babylon and bringing them through the necessary wilderness
experiences so they too can be prepared for the Lord who will come to
bring His people through in victory as He establishes His kingdom rule.
The events of society will continue to point to the need for people to
know the reality of terrorists, and to know we live a world where our
enemies are committed to our destruction.
The signs of the coming persecution of
all of God's people will continue to increase. Some will leave the
church of God and will be caught up in the coming deception of the
spirits who continue to seek to unite all religions. Others will become
fearful as they see the increase of the manifestations of God's wrath on
the earth through the judgments decreed by His Son. Amidst this God will
raise up Apostles and Prophets who will serve and honor His people as
saints of God. The reality of God's people living and being His Saints,
His holy ones, will be declared and imparted to His people. Some of the
leaders of God's church will be removed from their position as they
continue to focus on the doom and gloom coming on the earth, rather than
on the glory of Christ that is rising up from within His people during
these days. Some of the leaders of churches and ministries will be
removed from prominence because they continue use people to build their
ministry or church, rather than giving themselves to the equipping the
Saints for their place of ministry in the world. God's people will see
themselves reigning with Him in the marketplace. God's people will be
brought into places where they can know and experience His presence upon
them and within them, even in the marketplace. They will know the
reality of Him who said, My sheep hear My voice and I know them.
The increasing reality of God's presence will result in many to come
into a simple cry of OH GOD. We will know to have grace for reverence
and a Godly fear. There's more in store in 2004.
Rich-in-Christ
