Prophetic Word for the New Year: In 2024 you will continue to draw near to me, to learn of me. You will continue to be challenged by news and fake news which is why you have been wise to cultivate a hearing heart in the secret place. I will continue to open revelation and deeper understanding of the good news. What is happening in the world today is not an end of things but the beginning of things. I am only getting started. I have great things in store. As in the time of Noah, the flesh has to die and only that borne by the ark will live. You are borne of the ark and my Spirit carries you. Time of transition - time of transformation - time of metamorphosis. You are to enter into and operate out of rest, but that does not mean you are to be passive. You must be intentional in your desire to pursue love and desire spiritual gifts.

Some of you have tabled. You seem to hit a flat spot. Your accelerated growth seems to have leveled off. This is what could be called a mild wilderness experience. It is part of the process. Do not fear it or become discouraged. Adjustments are being made on your behalf. Things will fall away in the wilderness - attachments and defilements will become dislodged. For forty years my people wandered in a giant flat spot, learning humility - eating manna daily. Do not despair of these flat spots; I am still with you. I will never forsake you. Yet you wonder if you are being punished. I don’t define punishment in the way you do. I bring correction to those I love. You will learn things when you suffer for my sake. Not all suffering is for my sake, but the suffering that is, will instruct not punish. I have made you to be vessels of honor. Fear not. You are not appointed to wrath or failure. You are appointed to carry my glory.

One of the challenges my people continue to face is laying down their good works of service to pick up what I have called them to do. Like the story of Mary and Martha, my people continue to be busy with projects when I have called them to be the project. I am working on you my wonders to perform. Be like Mary - watch and see, listen and learn. Performance orientation must yield to relationship building. I desire relationship first and foremost. Spend time in the vine. Do not misunderstand. I have called you to do good works but only after you have acquired the skill of seeing what the Father is doing. You are called to work in partnership, not independence. There is much for you to do, but like a good wine, you must mature in the casket.

Another challenge faced by my people is that of keeping score. How they measure wins. How they define wins. If that person is elected or that person impeached it is counted as a win or a loss. I have overcome the world. I have called you to overcome. You pray for your team to win. The other team has people praying for their team to win. Come up higher. Gain a new perspective. See beyond the “games” and see what I am doing; for I am doing things - wonderful things. Gain a higher perspective. Sit with me in heavenly places. My kingdom is expanding. My kingdom is coming. I am building my church. Beware of carnal attachments.

Don’t be invested in the chessboard of national affairs and wars and taking sides. Most of it is smoke and mirrors. Most of it is orchestrated and choreographed by the puppet masters to divert your attention and to steal your affection. You become too invested in things without knowing the whole picture. You don’t see the whole. You see what the “magician” wants you to see. Yet some of my people are convinced that they know. This is the problem. You think you know but you don’t know. I know. I know the truth and some of my people hold strong false opinions which do them no good. They only muddy the waters of rhema revelation. I love the people of Russia. I love the people of Iran. I even love the Hamas. I love your enemies and I have told you to love your enemies. Love is key.

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts. Grow in love. Love is of me. I am love. Grow in me. Pursue love and gifts. With true love comes understanding. With it comes revelation. Love builds relationships. Fellowship is an expression of love. It is every bit as important as doctrine. More so. Sit at my feet and learn of me. Express my love. See through the eyes of divine love. My desire for you in this group is to express divine love. Love one another for love is of God and he that loves, knows God.

May 2024 be to you a year of advanced vision - of seeing behind the scenes - of gaining wisdom. May it be a year of advancement in ruling and reigning in Christ. Eldership, growth, maturity, wisdom. May it be a year of sitting in heavenly places. May it be a year that people take note of you that you have been with Jesus. May you be fruitful and blessed.
