Traditionally I have:
1) taken the last week or two of the year to more intentionally wait upon the Lord instead of having meetings.
2) used the last weekend of the year to speak about the upcoming year in a way that helps calibrate our spiritual family’s heart with the Lord’s heart.
There are obviously things coming in 2019 that none of us could predict both of a “positive” nature and “negative.”
We can be sure that the grace of God will be sufficient for each occasion brining glory to God and working for our good.
1 Corinthians 13:9 (ESV)
9 “For we know in part and we prophesy in part,”
So, here is the “part” that I see for 2019.
1) Jesus increasingly becoming our Lord and Reward.
Ephesians 2:19-22 (ESV)
19“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”
I believe we will see an ever-increasing establishment of apostolic and prophetic foundation laid in the Church which leads to the ultimate goal of Jesus being the cornerstone of our lives and ministries.
Practically, the phrase I heard was that He is to become our Lord and Reward in 2019.
Lord: Kyrios; means Supremacy
Reward: sakar; means payment, wages
I hope that your central prayer would become: Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit may Jesus become sovereign and sweet to my heart.
2) In Wichita – Acceleration of removing the middle/grey
The black and white of the truth of Jesus will become more even clear.
Will be exhilarating and grieving.
3) 2019 on fire - 2020 green
Had the sense of a purifying controlled burn before a season of growing fruitfulness.
4) Increased Shaking in our Nation and the Nations.
Hebrews 12:26-28 (ESV)
26 “At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."
27 This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,”
Stay steady and do not fear the turbulent movements in the nations.
A sovereign hand is behind it all.
The pieces are being moved into position for the great “last leg of the race” in this Age.
