This is one of the most powerful words I have received in a long time, possibly ever. It came to me early in the morning while I was seeking the Lord. The Holy Spirit spoke it very deeply to my spirit; He was speaking to me about His remnant in 2025.

The word has three parts, and the first part is that God is wanting to speak to us, one on one. The second part is that we are going to understand the Word on a deeper level as the Lord reveals new revelation to us. The final part is that we have to follow the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives. In this season, our ministries, churches, and lives must be rooted and centered around the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

God Is about to Abundantly Bless Those Who Listen and Obey

First and foremost, God is the head of everything, and He always will be. Things are going to be hard for ministries and churches who do not see God as the head of everything.

In Luke 11:28 it says, "...God will bless all who listen to the word of God and carefully obey everything that they hear" (TPT). God is about to abundantly bless those who listen and obey His commands.

John 8:47 says, "If you really knew God, you would listen, receive, and respond in faith to His words..." (TPT). It's this simple; it is a mandate from Heaven to listen and respond to every word God says.  continue >>>

Hi friend,

This word below will resonate deeply with some more than others. It's describing how you've increasingly been feeling.

You have sensed the stirring of the Spirit. You're longing for more. You know God is calling you to launch out into something new—to build, create, initiate, innovate.

Don't rush or push too hard. Wait before Him. Remain open and expectant, and be obedient to whatever He tells you. As the weeks and months progress in 2025, you will hear His voice clearly and doors will begin to open. You might not get much more than the first step, but as you move forward in faith, the Lord will make a way.

Begin to prepare quietly, hold onto things lightly, and avoid distractions. Choose your alignments carefully and declutter your life.

This is the year where everything begins to shift, when you come out of the holding pattern, when the fire begins to burn again.

A Year to Pioneer Again 

"Remain and Abide Deeper in 2025"

Recently I heard the Lord say, "Lean into the rearranging, for in the simplification there is unprecedented fruitfulness."

The Lord has been speaking this theme to me for a significant amount of time, and as I heard Him speak it to me recently, it was amplified. As I leaned in to listen to the Lord's heart, I could feel the invitation so deeply from His heart for us to go into a deeper revelation and manifestation of ABIDING and REMAINING in Him. I could feel the heart of the Lord extending an invitation in this season to enter into a greater understanding and outworking of what it looks like to live connected and grafted into the vine.

As I have sat with the Lord, John 15 has been thundering loudly in my spirit, along with His call to "remain and abide deeper in 2025."

There is a greater securing and establishing that He is doing within His people as He deepens the revelation of John 15 in their lives.

As I continued to seek the Lord's heart, I heard Him say, "COME ALIVE IN 2025."

He then continued to speak: "I am rearranging. I am shifting and changing. I am moving and shaking. I am GREATLY rearranging.    continue >>>

Prophetic word received on December 18, 2024:

Don't Build Your House Upon the Sand

Praise be to the Lord of hosts, Maker of Heaven and Earth! Glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace and good will towards all men. Yours is the glory and power and honor forever and ever, O Lord, who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things! And to Your Kingdom there is no end.

And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, "A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND, A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND, FOR DIVISION IS WEAKNESS. IN DIVISION THERE IS TURMOIL, IN DIVISION THERE IS CHAOS, IN DIVISION THERE IS DESTRUCTION."

And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, "The wise man built his house upon the rock and the foolish man built his house upon the sand. And the rains came and the storms came," says the Lord, "and destroyed what the foolish man had built upon the sand. What was built upon the rock endured the storm, however the storm did not overtake them (Matthew 7:24–27).

"DO NOT, in this hour, think," says the Lord, "you can build your house—your kingdom—upon the place where that house built upon sand was destroyed; for if you build such in that place, what you have built you will lose as well," says the Lord. "For your foundation will not be one set upon a firm place, a righteous place, a place of MY WORD.

Oil of Favor: The Past Is the Past

As each new day brings a reset for our lives in the wonder of the mercies of God, so can a new year. Since we have now entered 2025, no matter what 2024 held in the processes of God, we are always offered new mercies. Your times are in His hands and His mercies are new every morning.

"My times are in Your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me." (Psalm 31:15)

"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22–23)

The Hebrew definitions of the word "mercies" in the context of Lamentations 3:22 are "kindness," "goodness," "beauty," and "favor" (Strong's H2617).

Recently I had an encounter with the Lord regarding this new season we stand in. The Lord was anointing His beloved with fresh oil, and I heard the Lord say, "The oil of favor."

In the context of Lamentations 3, here and now, there is a new mercy for a new season.

You Are Responsible for Your Own Climb

While in prayer, I was taken into a vision. I saw myself going up this very steep mountain. I had a tool in my hand that the Lord later revealed was a "grappling hook."

As I was going up this steep mountain, it was snowing. It was very cold, and the way up felt treacherous, yet I knew the climb could be accomplished. I had on very heavy protective winter gear, and even goggles to protect my eyes from the torrent of the wind on this climb. Then the Lord reminded me of a Scripture:

"Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah." (Psalm 24:3–6)

Then underneath me I saw a long line of people holding onto a rope that I clearly had in my hand, along with the tool. Then all of a sudden I saw the line snap, and I said, "Lord, what does this mean?" And the Lord began to impress a message upon me:   continue >>>

The "Underdogs" Are Going to Gain Ground

I heard the Lord say, "2025 is a catch-up year. This will be the year when those labeled 'underdogs' will gain ground and shoot ahead. The enemy has told many of them that it is too late, but I am a restorer of years. Where there has been fruitlessness, barrenness, and drought, [it] will now become an oasis, overflowing with the blessings of God."

This Is Your Catch-up Year!

My son Gabriel and I were at a theme park, walking through the long stretch of the queue that led to a certain ride, when he suddenly shouted, "Daddy, let's race!" Without a moment's hesitation, he bolted ahead. I quickly joined in, running past him at full speed.

I was flying, glancing back to see him giving it his all. However, I didn't notice that the path took a sharp right turn. In that instant, Gabriel seized the opportunity. He found himself on the inside of the curve while I was stuck on the outside.

To my surprise, my little seven year old beat me, the eight-mile-a-day runner!

He said, "Daddy, I catched up to you."

At that very moment, I heard the Lord say, "2025 is a catch-up year!"

Did you get that? It is not too late for you. If God spoke it, then He will bring it to pass. This is YOUR catch-up year!  continue >>>

Breaking through Barriers and Setting the Stage for a Golden Age

As we continue into 2025, I want to share a prophetic word the Lord has given me—a word that I believe will stir your faith and position you for the days ahead.

As we closed out 2024, I recognized that the prophetic word I gave at the beginning of the year ("A Time of Victory Over Chaos") and the word I gave at Rosh Hashanah ("A Time of Navigating Contrary Winds") were still in the process of being fulfilled into the first quarter of 2025. These first months of the new year will be important for prayer and positioning, as the enemy will continue to stir the pot of chaos, crisis, and calamity not only in the USA but in the nations of the earth.

While there have been certain breakthroughs in the US election cycle, we should remember that the definition of the word "breakthrough" means "a military movement or advance all the way through and beyond the enemy's frontline defense." It means to overcome obstacles, barriers, and hindrances to progress. In other words, breakthrough is not the end of a matter but a new beginning.   continue >>>
