A PROPHETIC WORD FOR YOU - 2025

The year 2025 conveys many spiritual meanings and interpretations  depending on how one is able to interpret biblical numerology, prophetic cycles, or personal spiritual seasons. While there is no specific scriptural prophecy that directly names the year 2025, several symbolic and spiritual patterns can be drawn from biblical principles, current times, and numeric insight.

To summarise this concept let me take this opportunity to prophesy over your lives for the successful outcomes and remainder of this year of 2025.

I prophesy - 8 (= number of new beginnings) supernatural and transformative changes for your life:

1.  A time of divine reset for you, your family and loved ones in every area, phase and stage of your lives.

2.  A renewed and heightened spiritual awareness and a greater ability to recognise spiritual issues and warfare.

3.  A rising up and new awareness in your ability to believe and perceive what God is saying to you and about you.  

4.  A season of divine strength, greater ability to move forwards at a greater pace.  

5.  A supernatural shift and personal transformation.

6.  A divine  nudge from God Almighty Himself - bringing your life into alignment with The Word of God.

7.  A new and Godly Agenda for your life.  

8.  A reset  -  acceleration of spiritual gifts and evangelism in your spiritual and personal life.  

....Ps 84:11 

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

Q. What one thing can you change that will change everything else in your life?

A. Your mind!

Let this mind be in you, 
which was also in Christ Jesus:

Philippians 2:5 KJV

Always remember you are only one decision away from living the life of your dreams! If you don’t like what’s going on in your life, you can make the decision to change it. This year does not have to look like last year.  When you make a decision to change, everything else will adjust to accommodate that change!  You are one decision away from a different and new future. When you change, everything else will adjust to accommodate that change!

Regardless of where you find yourself today God is never too far away and prayer and praying will enable you to close any gap, distance, separation or even isolation that you may presently be experiencing.

Every day offers you a chance to begin again. Make a decision today not to focus on the failures of yesterday.  Allow yourself to possess the courage to start over and  fill your mind with positive thoughts and expectations, I call this possibility thinking! 

Remember, happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he

Proverbs 23:7 KJV

 

Can We Trust  God in All Circumstances?

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Dictionary.com  defines  trust as: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.  

If you have ever experienced trust issues you are not alone.   Increasingly it is becoming difficult to trust those around us especially with sensitive information about ourselves or our loved ones especially if we feel our trust may be mishandled or misplaced. The dread or fear of being betrayed can become immense.  So how can we resolve this? 

How To?

The best way to learn about trusting the Lord in difficult times is to go to the promises of God.  When was the last time that you spent time studying The Word of God?  God’s Word is replete with His promises that teach us about having faith in Him even through the difficult and hard times.  The book of Proverbs tells us that we must trust  with all our hearts, leaving no room for gaps or doubt.  

The Word of God tells us not to worry but this is not always easy to do.  Furthermore we are instructed to pray and to do so with regularity! Prayer will not only help to change the situation you face but it will also change the way you look at your situation. 

Yes, you can trust God, He will not fail or betray you and, as an added bonus, He will give you peace even when everything around you is in turmoil.  Allow yourself to trust God and you too will experience the peace of God.   

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your 

hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

 JANUARY 2023

 Lamentations 3:22-24. 

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,

    for his compassions never fail.

23 

They are new every morning;

    great is your faithfulness.

24 

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;

    therefore I will wait for him.”

Despite all that has and is taking place around us we are blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to experience another New Year.

The Prophet Jeremiah was an individual who was going through one of the darkest periods of his life but he never gave up on hope as we see in Lamentations 3:21. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope. 

Just like Jeremiah we sometimes need to remind ourselves about the truth of God's Word and the facts of life that we are faced with on a daily basis and the differences between what is true and what is factual.  Often what God has promised us and said to us does not match what is actually happening in our lives.  

In the quoted verses above The author had to remind himself about what was true, because his own circumstances offered no hope. Jeremiah stated that his “soul was bereft of peace” and his “hope from the Lord” had disappeared (Lam 3:17–18). Jeremiah had to make a decision to believe God (verses 22–24) and he used The Word of God to restore his hope. I want to encourage you today to do the same.  

When you are feeling low and think God is absent, deaf or unconcerned about your predicament  use The Word of God to remind yourself about these truths:  

God’s love is steadfast and steady. 

God and Word cannot be stopped.

God’s mercies are ongoing, new every morning, ceaseless, generous and abundant.

God is faithful and great in his faithfulness. 

God has given Himself to you.  God is your portion

If you have God you have access to everything He has access to. 

Remind yourself today - no matter what you are experiencing right now or going through begin to rehearse these truths - they are just as staggering as they are sustaining  and have the ability to strengthen you wherever you may presently find yourself right now.

Activate the truth of God’s Word in your life today by meditating on it and repeating it to yourself and the atmosphere surrounding your life.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!

We have all had to face difficult and even sad times of late and so much around us is constantly changing.  Thankfully God is not subject to change and remains constant in a time of many inconsistencies.

Whoever, or wherever you are God is right there with you...He's nearer than hands or feet for you have His Word even in your mouth.  Use God's Word to pray yourself out of any situation that you may face or be confronted with. 

The Bible has many examples of people who prayed and as a result brought visible change to their communities and environments.

Look how Daniel prayed - Daniel 9:16-18

16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem,(say the name of your location) thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

AMEN!

Covid, Crises & Christ

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee 

with the right hand of my righteousness

Isaiah 41:10 

The advent of  COVID-19 has changed and transformed our global reality overnight.  The world was literally caught off guard and thrown into a crises that it is still reeling from.  

When crises come into our lives we are reminded of just how really fragile and susceptible we all are to the things that are going on around us.  We all make plans for our future, thinking that we are in control of our lives, but a situation like our present one - a global pandemic has the ability to change EVERYTHING!   

Human life is priceless regardless of whatever status we are regarded by.  The economic consequences that a catastrophe like Covid 19  brings is one we are compelled to face together and we must endeavour at all costs to care for the lives of all. 

Diseases, just like crises, makes no distinction between our given societal classifications or status, our wealth, fame or even obscurity; regardless of this we find ourselves wholly vulnerable and  interconnected to each other and in need of each other...We have a common enemy but together we can and we will overcome!  

Problems whether big or small are not an issue for God, He is the true source of every type of deliverance and lasting security and He is trustworthy. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Tim. 1: 7).  Knowing this will assist you to face all circumstances with confidence and in complete peace (Isaiah 26: 3).

Begin to feed your faith the moreso in these uncertain times.  Just like King David "encourage yourself in The Lord" (1 Sam 30:6) if you cannot find anyone around you to do so.  Your hope will encourage you to move forward in the midst of every difficulty and also in all the circumstances that you face daily.

I encourage you today -  let us join together and become as one in prayer not just for our own lives and healing, but let us remember to include in our prayers, healing for others and our sick world and land:

“If my people, which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14
