Part 2
Happy New Year to you all.
What does 'Happy New Year' mean to you?
It means different meaning to different people. To some, it
means freedom, growth, marriage, childbirth, graduation, etc. To some other
people, it means they are closer to death.
Happy New Year means we are a year closer to the end of our
journey in life
1 Corinthians
15:51-53: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17:
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we
which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord.
A day is coming that the Lord Himself will descend with a
shout; however, some people will sleep before then.
Daniel 12:2: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the
earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting
contempt.
A day is coming that the dead will awake too.
This is a serious year. You shouldn't joke with this year at
all.
My joy however as your father is that if you will hearken
diligently to me as I take you through the word of God, by the time this year
is ending, you will be sitting on the mountain top
Land is for man; sky for the bird; and water for the fish.
So, swimming means operating in a realm that is not yours. David was an example
of this in 1 Samuel 17:32-37.
Altar Call: The difference between Everlasting life and
everlasting damnation is a matter of choice. If you haven't given your life to
Christ, you can choose everlasting life now by accepting Jesus Christ. Thank
You Savior for Your Word of salvation. Please save their souls and write their
names in the book of life, receive them to Glory whenever You return. Thank You
Father
Text: Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and
the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross
darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be
seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising.
There are two word here: Swimming and Glory. Swimming means
to make progress inside water
When you go to swim, You have gone to an area where God
didn't initially create for you. However, you can make progress in an area
where it's not originally meant for you.
Proverbs 3:35: The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall
be the promotion of fools.
Glory is the opposite of shame. Glory in intrinsically
associated with shining light.
Luke 2:9: And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Psalms 24:7-10 The Almighty God is called the Lord of Glory,
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh
down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning. He is also called the Father of light.
Ezekiel 43:2: And,
behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his
voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Light and Glory is the same thing. Consequently, Matthew 5:14-16, the new name
Jesus gave us is Light. Light is useless unless it shines. Matthew 5:15. I
decree into your life, you'll shine this year. The opposite of light is
darkness. To shine means to push back darkness by force. Genesis 1:1-4. The
battle between light and darkness has been from the beginning. Get ready to
shine means to get ready to fight and Lord over darkness. You have played
church long enough! The battle line is drawn. Get ready to fight darkness.
Light has no use unless it shines. Many have been trying to win souls by mere
talk, no way anymore. These guys will come when they see how you can deal with
darkness. Light has no use when it isn't
shining. 1 Samuel 16:11-13, 1 Samuel 17:34-37, 1 Samuel 22:1-2. You will shine
this year. Shining means you will fight darkness. You will fight lions, bears
and Goliath. The fight you want to fight is a good one because you have won
before you start the fight. 2 Timothy 4:7, Light has never lost to darkness.
John 1:4-5, Romans.8:35-39 You are already more than a conqueror.
The only condition to winning is that you must never turn
your back to the enemy. Luke 6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them,
Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? By the grace of
God, one of your prayers before this year ends will be, Father, wherever the
Lions and the bears are, please bring them to me. The Lord said there's someone
here today, you will begin to show signs of a genius. Swimming is to operate
successfully in a realm that is not ordinarily yours. 1 Samuel 17:32-37. By the
time you get home tonight, you will be a different person.
Prayer: In the mighty Name of Jesus, every drum of shame
beaten in your life shall break tonight. All those who are plotting against
your future, in the Name that is above every other name, they will be fighting
themselves.
Swimming involves skill. To learn the skill of swimming, you
need help: Zechariah 4:6: Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is
the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but
by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. There is someone ready to teach you how
to swim. His Name is Jesus.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me
As the Lord lives, before the end of this year, when there
is a crisis, you won't send for the GO, you will say they should come to you. 1
Thessalonians 5:17-19, Matthew 14:17-21 & 2 Corinthians 11:27: This is
a year of serious prayers and serious fasting. I decree in the Name that is
above every other name, where you never thought you will reach, you will surpass
it this year. When you want to swim, the first thing you do is to change your
dress & lifestyle. You don't swim with your suit on, Hebrew.12:1 Ephesians
4:22, Colossians 3:8-9 & Romans 13:12 You have to get rid of certain things
if you want to swim. Ephesians 4:24-25 & 6:11-18 You'll have to wear your
swimming gear to swim in Glory. No more running from the enemy because we are
ready to face them. Satan is the one on the losing end. Jesus said He'll build
His church. Is He a liar? No! The devil is the one at the losing ends, the
gates who are the elders of hell cannot prevail against Jesus' Church.
Prayer Point 1: Praise God with all your heart
Prayer Point 2: In the mighty name of Jesus, I am the light
of the world. I will shine bright this year.
Prayer Point 3: In the mighty name of Jesus, I will destroy
the hold of forces of darkness in my family this year
Prayer Point 4: In the mighty Name of Jesus, every lion,
bear and Goliath that comes my way this year are tamed.
Prayer Point 5: In the mighty Name of Jesus, I will reach
the mountaintop this year
Prayer Point 6: In the mighty Name of Jesus, my life will
draw thousands away from the kingdom of Satan this year.
Prayer Point 7: Personal prayer
