At the end of each year, I take time to pray about the New Year. This year I have heard two words. The first is “answered prayer” Year 2023 will be a year of answered prayer. The Lord has heard and is going to increase His answers. Second word: is acceleration of His manifested presence. It appears from these two words that God has a plan to speed up answers and presence. Wow! Move quickly Lord Jesus. The speeding up will require our agreement.
If our hearts are hungry for a move of the Spirit, we will need to agree and accept. This will also require us to YIELD to the Spirit of the Lord. I ask the question: what would his manifested presence look like; each of us may have a different idea. This is what I see, more of the demonstration of the Spirit with the gifts of the Spirit. I see more being over-whelmed with His presence, not able to stand but be on our knees, crying at His presence, speaking in tongues more with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Any increase of His presence will require us to receive and accept change. This kind of movement from the Spirit will cause change. We would not have church as usual. Are we willing to make changes and get out of our plan and rut? Always doing the same thing? This would upset many people but those who are hungry will experience the Spirit of the Lord they have only dreamed of. I am ready for an acceleration of His manifested presence are you? Are you ready for a change in how you worship and how church is conducted?
A word of testimony, I am the president of our local Aglow lighthouse and at our last meeting as I was worshiping the Lord I was hearing or thinking: I know your heart. This puzzled me and I did not realize it was the beginning of a prophetic word. At the end of worship all of a sudden I began to back up a little and out of me burst a message in tongues followed by the interpretation. It started with: I know your heart… I was shocked to have the Spirit of the Lord burst out of me like he did. I think I am still trying to understand the bursting out.
Seems like an acceleration of His Spirit. My pray is let it be and bring more. I pray you will make the same decision. More Lord and I yield to your Spirit.
