Insights For 2014 and Beyond

Review of Eight Clear Words In 2013

1. The Door of the Harvest Is Open – Matthew 9:38
2. Walk In & Release the Kingdom of Peace – Romans14:17
3. Push the Restart Button – Proverbs 24:16
4. "Come Again, Holy Spirit" Time – Joel 2:28-29
5. Create a Culture of Risk – Luke 17:6
6. Welcome a Fresh, Presence-Based Worship Movement – Psalm 22:27; Revelation 22:17
7. A Shift To a Glorious Eschatology – Isaiah 60:1-3
8. It Is a Speech Activated Kingdom: Speak To Your Mountain With Shouts of Grace! – Mark 11:23; Zechariah 4:6-7

Words For 2014 and Beyond!

1. It Is a Time of Fire - A Fresh Baptism of Fire(Matthew 3:1; Acts 2:2-4; Leviticus 6:9-13)

Recently the voice of the Holy Spirit came to me, stating, "I am releasing renewed weapons of spiritual warfare: Fire, the Catapult, and the Battering Ram." 

The fire of the Holy Spirit will fall, resulting in conviction of sin and fresh power encounters. Some will be catapulted into the future to bring back treasures into their now. At the same time, the old-time battering ram used to break down the enemy's resistance, resulting in what was closed doors – in this year of the door – will be bashed open.

This past Day of Atonement, Prophet Bob Jones saw an egg being given to him (to read the word on The Elijah List, click here).

As the egg broke open, fire was contained in the egg. We have had the wine of the Spirit, and now we will begin to experience the fire of the Lord. Live coals of fire from the altar of the Lord will be released in Jesus' name, purging our lips and commissioning people to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to unreached people groups.

2. Call To All Watchmen:
Attention, Be On the Alert

(Isaiah 62:6-7; Matthew 26:40)

The first night I moved into my new house in Franklin, Tennessee, a warrior angel I had not seen for 25 years came and appeared at the end of my bed and energetically declared, "Attention! Be on the alert!" It is a fresh call to "watchmen on the walls" to take their place, especially in protection for Israel, Syria, and the Golan Heights.

There will also be a renewed, local-Church prayer movement centered around the words of Jesus, "Could you not tarry one hour?" The three streams of the Global Prayer Movement are: the local Church, Houses of Prayer, and Networks of Prayer. They will learn to cooperate together in a greater measure.

3. Increased Detail In the Word of Knowledge.

(1 Corinthians 12:8)

Recently the presence of the Lord came upon me, and the Lord stated, "The seeds sown by the seers and prophets into a young generation decades ago have now come into fruition. A detailed word of knowledge will be released again, creating an atmosphere of the fear of the Lord, and awe, and wonder."

Watch for and welcome the revelatory gifts of the Spirit of a word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits.

4. Redemptive Interpreters – Hope Ambassadors Released!

(1 Thessalonians 5:8; Colossians 1:27; Titus 2:13)

A work of cleansing is coming to the Global Prophetic Movement, bringing us from being "Problem-Focused Prophets" into "Solution-Focused Prophets."

The Lord has a remedy for misery-based Christianity, using modern day Daniels who will walk in redemptive understandings. These hope-filled interpreters will honor the earlier waves of the Holy Spirit and the pioneering work of the former prophetic movements while reaching into the heart of God for His redemptive ways for future generations. It is time for the "Redemptive Interpreters" to emerge!

5. I Will Restore

(Acts 3:19-21)

Last year, one of the major words I released was, "The Holy Spirit is 'Pushing the Reset Button.'" In a similar manner, my heart beats with the word, "I will restore!"

According to Acts 3:19-21, Jesus will be retained in Heaven until the restoration of all things, spoken by the holy prophets of old. This includes the restoration of the Message, the Messengers, and the Method.

This work of "restoration of all things" includes: The restoration of Israel, the restoration of fire on the altar (the global worship and prayer movement), the full restoration of the supernatural, the restoration of compassion that acts, the synergy of the generations, the Kingdom mandate, and the Church's original commission: the harvest of souls to win for the Lamb the reward of His sufferings.

This is part of what I have been hearing, sensing, seeing, and knowing that the Holy Spirit is doing in this hour. We each only see in part, and even the best only prophesy in part. But when we each bring our piece of the puzzle to the table we will see with greater clarity the vision of things to come.

Blessings to you in Christ Jesus!

Jane Hamon: "I Distinctly Heard Him Say 2014 Would Be The Year of the Quantum Leap"

Jane Hamon:

"I Distinctly Heard Him Say 2014 
Would Be The Year 
of the Quantum Leap"
The Elijah List

At the beginning of this year, as I was seeking the Lord regarding the season we are in, I distinctly heard Him say this would be the "Year of the Quantum Leap!" 

I had of course heard this term before, but I didn't fully understand the meaning of it in regards to what God desires to do in and through His Church.Webster's defines "Quantum Leap" as follows: "a sudden and significant change or increase; something sudden, spectacular and vitally important, a sudden highly significant advance...breakthrough!" 

Wow! Am I ever ready for this! Aren't you?

Upon further research, I discovered that in quantum science a quantum leap is described as an abrupt movement of an electron from one radiant energy level to another with no smooth transition...no in between. An electron will build up energy and become "excited," then will suddenly jump or leap to another level to orbit another atom. As it does the photons emit a burst of light! It goes from point A to point B with no in between. 

Once it makes this jump it finds a place of stability, then begins to build energy once again to work up to the next leap to the next level. In a quantum leap moment, BAM! Everything changes! It is a "suddenly" season filled with light, energy, and power that redefines our present and our future.

Quantum Leap Freedom!

This is what happens when we have an encounter with Jesus...BAM! Everything changes! Like the children of Israel coming out of Egypt after Passover, BAM! One minute they were slaves, the next moment they were declared free. 

The number 14 is tied to the concept of Passover since it is celebrated on the 14th day of the first Hebraic month. So when we encounter Jesus our Passover Lamb, BAM! A lifetime of slavery, bondage, addiction, fear, and sin is destroyed in a moment. We make a quantum leap out of the kingdom of darkness in to the Kingdom of God's Son, the Kingdom of Light! 

This will be a year of quantum leap freedom as God's people experience and appropriate the power of the Cross on a whole new level.

One moment you may be sick, then BAM! You are suddenly healed!

One moment you may be bound by darkness and oppression, then BAM! The light of God's love makes you free, full of joy, full of light!

One moment you are poor with nothing working for you, then BAM! God turns things around releasing His divine favor and opening new doors of opportunity and blessing!

This is a year for God's people to build up excitement and energy through releasing our faith, dreaming bigger dreams, and praying in the Holy Spirit, then BAM! 

Leaping from glory to glory, from faith to faith, and from strength to strength. This will be a time of "exponential" increase for the Body of Christ!

The Quantum Kingdom

In quantum mechanics scientists have found that there are two realms of reality. One is called the present, which is the life we are living. The second realm is considered to be the realm where anything is possible! It is described as a reality in which there is "infinite possibility" and "unlimited potential."

As scientists have studied this quantum realm they have widely concluded that this earth we live in, and all of humanity, could not just have occurred by chance but rather that there has to have been a Designer or a Creator. They have been amazed to find that at the quantum level each atom contains a signature as though this Creator wrote, "I made this."

I believe this indicates that scientists are seeing into the reality of the realm Jesus called the Kingdom of God! Everything He did demonstrated this quantum realm of the Kingdom of God. Each time He healed someone of sickness or disease He was demonstrating this realm of infinite possibility.

When He walked on water He was demonstrating that this present realm of existence is subjugated to this other supernatural realm. When He was transfigured He was manifesting the unseen realm of quantum Kingdom glory in the midst of the earth realm.

Everything He did demonstrated that the Kingdom of God is actually right here among us...a supernatural realm in which anything is possible.

In Acts 8 we see that Philip experienced this quantum realm and made a quantum leap. One minute he was baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch and the next moment...Bam! He was translated from one location to another...from the middle of a desert to...suddenly!...the middle of the city of Azotus! He entered the quantum realm of "infinite possibility" and demonstrated the limitless power of the Kingdom of God.

Quantum Leap Power

Similarly, the disciples experienced a quantum leap of power and anointing on the Day of Pentecost. After 10 days of seeking the Lord after Jesus ascended to Heaven, suddenly BAM! The room they were in was filled with a sound of a rushing mighty wind and they were all baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire! They were given power from on high to go out and work miracles, cast out demons, and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom with boldness! In one instant they were transformed!

This is similar to but much more powerful than what occurred when Elisha received the double portion mantle from Elijah. Prior to that time Elisha had never done one miracle...then BAM! From that moment forward he demonstrated God's transforming power everywhere he went. He experienced a quantum leap of the anointing and power of God!

In this season God's people must cry out as Elisha did, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me!" (2 Kings 2:9) In response, God is giving His people a new mantle for a new day!

It is a double portion mantle, as 14 is a double portion number. But we must realize what we have received is far more powerful than the mantle Elijah passed to Elisha.

We are stepping in to a time of favor from Heaven where signs, wonders, and miracles will become widespread, not only within the Church, but in the marketplace as well, as Believers begin to awaken and arise to the transforming power of God that is within them.

I had a dream early this year in which I pulled up to a place that does oil changes on vehicles. There was a sign in the window that said "Change Your Oil, It Will Change Your Life!"

I believe this is what The Lord is saying to His Church! We need an oil change! Psalm 92:10says "I have been anointed with fresh oil!" There is a fresh oil anointing for those who are pressing in to His presence and His promises this year!

Quantum Leap Awakening!

God has set us up for a quantum leap season of the move of God's Spirit into a time of great awakening! Revivals here and there will no longer suffice. We need an awakening! I believe an awakening is epidemic revival. The word epidemic means "affecting many people at the same time, spreading from person to person in a location where something is not prevalent, a rapid spread or increase in something making it widespread."

We need epidemic revival in America today!

Remember, in a quantum leap the electrons build up energy and become jittery or "excited"...scientists really refer to it this way! God is releasing supernatural miracles and favor to His people so we can become excited again.

There is a momentum that is building in the Spirit. We need to set our hearts to take all the limits off of God this year!

I heard the Lord say that we have entered in to a three-year period where He is going to make Himself real in spectacular ways. The purpose of this is so that He can restore hope to the Church so the Church can then restore hope to the world! Romans 15:13 empowers us with these words: "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." We will encounter the God of hope in a new and powerful way in this new season.

Quantum Leap Provision

At the beginning of this year my mother-in-law, Evelyn "Mom" Hamon, had a spiritual dream which demonstrates quantum leap provision. In this dream she saw Bishop Hamon and some of our ministry leaders ministering to a large field of people. After a while the people were getting hungry. Just as in the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000, they searched around and came up with just a few loaves of bread, hardly enough to meet the overwhelming need.

Still, Bishop ripped off a piece of bread and handed it to one of the people. As he gave it, suddenly his loaf of bread was whole again. When that person took the bread in his hand, he immediately broke off a piece and put it in a basket for Bishop, then turned and gave a piece to someone else. When he did that, his small piece turned into a whole loaf.

As each one kept breaking bread, they would first put a piece in a basket for Bishop then share a piece with others, and their piece was made whole each time. At the end, Bishop had the original few loaves of bread even though he had fed a multitude. But besides there were baskets full of provision that came back to him. Everyone present ate and was full and had an abundance left over afterwards for themselves.

This is quantum bread! As we give and share what God has given us, we will see a miraculous demonstration of multiplied provision. Our little suddenly becomes much!

God shifts us from scarcity to abundance in one giant leap!

As we sow financial seeds, we should expect a quantum leap release into our own finances. Already we are hearing of financial miracles where debt has been suddenly cancelled, properties have sold, new contracts are being signed; expansion, blessing and prosperity are breaking out in the lives of many!

This is a time for the manifestation of the Prophet's Reward. 

The Shunammite woman, in 2 Kings 4, made a place in her home for the Prophet of the Double Portion, Elisha. He represented the voice of God to her life, her city, and her land. As she made a place for the voice of God in her home, that became a place of miracles for her.

Because of her generous heart and her desire to receive the voice of God, she received the Prophet's Reward, which was the miracle she needed that money could not buy!

After years of barrenness, BAM! she had a child. Years later she needed another miracle as that child of promise dropped dead suddenly. She took the child and placed him on the bed in the room she made for the prophet, the voice of God. When Elisha came in he confronted the spirit of death on the child, and BAM! The child experienced a quantum leap, out of death into life! Again, in 2 Kings 8, after having lost her land and house when she obeyed the prophet and fled for seven years as famine came upon the land, the Shunammite experienced another BAM! quantum leap encounter when instantly all that she lost was immediately restored!

Quantum Leap Harvest

To further demonstrate the concept of quantum leaps that take place in a "suddenly season," allow me to relate the story of Chinese Bamboo. It is a costly, precious wood grown in places in China. The first year the farmer plows his field and prepares the ground for the bamboo seed. He then carefully digs small holes for each seed and plants the crop. He waters it, fertilizes it, and weeds it, carefully watching over the ground in which his crop is growing. But at the end of the first year when he surveys the progress of growth, he sees nothing, no sign of life, no tender shoot, nothing.

In the second year he waters, weeds, fertilizes, and tends his field, but again, at the end of that year...nothing. By the end of the third growing season a small shoot pushes its way above the soil. It only achieves about three inches of growth; after three years, that averages one inch per year. Not exactly impressive. By the end of the fourth year of growth the plant measures a little over a foot tall.

But in the fifth year of growth the bamboo shoot hits a growing season which lasts four months.

During those four months the bamboo which the farmer has lovingly tended for five years SUDDENLY shoots 90-100 feet tall! There are days in which the bamboo actually grows 3-4 feet in a single day. SUDDENLY!

(Photo via Emeka Talks)

I think we have all come to realize that God's "suddenlies" don't always happen suddenly. But we are now in a quantum leap "suddenly season" where we will see those things we have prayed over, decreed to, quoted Scriptures for, prophesied into, and warred a good warfare for suddenly come to pass.

This is a now season! We cannot be discouraged or disappointed by the previous years as we have looked out over our planted field of promise and seen no visible results of our labor.

Because suddenly, BAM! Rapid growth, fulfillment, and harvest are at hand!

It is time to experience the quantum power of the Kingdom of God. Miracles, signs, and wonders are our portion as we take off the limits and arise to our potential in Christ Jesus.

Quantum glory is at hand!

2014: A Year of Double 7s... Double Portions... and Double Blessings - Gale Sheehan

A Year of Double 7s

...Double Portions 

...and Double Blessing

Gale Sheehan

(The Elijah List)

2014 is a key year for expecting great things from the Lord. It is a year of "Double 7s," with a base number of double 7s (7+7=14) and the Hebrew year double 7 (5774). 

The number 7 is a special number to the Lord, one of completion, fulfillment, and destiny. I have experienced the miraculous power of the number 7 in great ways with the Lord.

This year will also be one of "Double Portion" mantles being released to those that have past the recent years of testing times. If you feel that you have been one of those with great tests over the last few years, this year you can expect great rewards, breakthroughs, and health and financial miracles.

Angels will be released on assignment this year to co-labor with us to get victories we never would have been able to get by ourselves. This year will also be a year of "Double Blessings." To be blessed is to be empowered by the Lord to be fruitful and have dominion, wherein 2014, supernatural advancement in the "7 Mountains" of society will be possible. This includes supernatural favor in business, government, media, and other realms of societal influence, including ministry.

We are moving toward the time when the "kingdoms of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord" as revealed in the book of Revelation. We corporately as the Church are becoming a "Kingdom and Priests to our God." We will be a demonstration of Jesus, the true "Light of the World," at a time when darkness, as well, will be experienced in the earth.

2014: A Year of "Double 7s"

The number 7 has always had a very significant impact on our family in both the natural and spiritual realms:

When I was born in the natural realm, in 1955, the time was 7:07 A.M. When I was "born again" in the Spirit, in 1981, it was when I read Matthew 7:7. 

The Lord spoke to me while I was in a crisis situation as an unbeliever ensnared in a drug culture. I was all alone on a farm in Central Illinois when it happened. My brother's wife, Linda, along with John Schlitt's (of the Christian rock band Petra) wife, Dorla, were prayer partners and were praying for me that night and pushing back the forces of darkness. This prayer effort enabled me to make a willful choice to serve the Lord that eventful night.

The Lord heard my heart's cry when I said, "I am asking for help," asking if He was real. I had remembered hearing somewhere the verse, "Ask and you shall receive," and I was sincerely asking for help from this God of the Universe. 

The next thing that happened was the Lord spoke to me to go get an old Bible that I had buried away with my old college books. This was a giant print Bible my mom had given to me many years prior. I jokingly say that she thought if the words were big enough they would work on me some day. College degrees in chemistry and psychology along with agnostic views had helped to blind my mind to the possibility of the true supernatural realm.

When the Lord inspired me to get this Bible out and read from it, very supernaturally, the Scripture I turned to was Matthew 7:7...double 7s again. This passage of Scripture states "Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find, Knock and the door shall be opened."

When reading this Scripture God revealed Himself to me and I said, "It is true," meaning this Bible and its Author were real to me. I was "Born Again" that night before ever knowing what that terminology meant. "It is True" got me into the Kingdom. As I believed in my heart and spoke with my mouth, I was transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the "Kingdom of Light."

Hearing the Voice of the Lord can change your world. 

This experience opened a new door into a realm I never knew existed. Through this door was a prophetic destiny to be fulfilled. This upcoming year of 2014 and ongoing years will offer opportunities for Double 7 "Prophetic Breakthroughs" as we pursue them in faith. 

The number 7 represents completion, fulfillment, and success. Many of your prophetic words of past years will be fulfilled this year. God will shine His light on your prophetic destiny steps this year.

After this time of being "Born Again", the next year the Lord stirred marriage in my heart. He again used the number 7 in a unique way. When I found Shelly, her birthday was on July 7th, another 7/7 day. I thought this fits well in the overall plan of Gods direction and His use of the number 7 for our destiny.

Over the years the number 7 has had additional special meanings. Our daughter's wedding was 7/7/7 and her son, our only grandson (thus far), Landon, came into this world right on time on June 7th. Our son's wedding was also on a "Double 7" day, the 14th of September 2013. This was also Yom Kippur another special day to the Lord. These have been some of the examples where the Lord has humorously and purposefully used 7's to confirm his will for us.

2014 will be a time for great expectation of the power of "Double 7" fulfillment. God is releasing His "Seven Spirits" to direct us this year. As we hear His Voice and partner with Him, all things are possible.  

2014: A Year of "Double Portions"

The relationship of Elijah and Elisha represents one of the best demonstrations of how to effectively move into a "Double Portion" time in your life. Elijah had been the model prophetic visionary for many years prior to his ascension to Heaven. He was known as the "go to guy" to get your miracle. He had many victories of light against darkness during his life validating the Lordship of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

When the time of his departure was growing near, he asked Elisha what he wanted prior to his leaving. Elisha was bold and asked for a "Double Portion" of Elijah's spirit (see 2 Kings 2). Elijah said that it was a hard thing but that it was possible if Elisha was diligent to be with him and see the time of his departure. Elisha was determined to see it happen and it did.

Elisha pursued Elijah when it was not easy and followed when there appeared to be no plan. Elisha did this because he believed the prophetic word of the Lord. Elisha got the "Double Portion" when Elijah left because of his tenacity. We as well this year can receive mantles of "Double Portions." We can then spiritually strike the waters and cry out for the God of Miracles and He will show up.

Double Portion of Fortunes: 

Some of you reading this have experienced the year of 2013 to be a great year of testing. This testing time of the Lord will cause us to focus on the key elements of fulfilling His Destiny. If you have been one of these, you can know that the good news is: test times result in a "Double Portion" if we pass the test of the Lord.

Job was one of the greatest examples of one who experienced great testing times but came through focused on the fact that God is a good God in every situation. As he was able to live his life accordingly, even though seemingly losing everything, he received a "Double Portion" in the end. Job 42:10, "The Lord restored Job's fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before." 2014 will be a year of double for those that pass the testing times of previous years.

Double Portion of Destiny:

One of the crucial keys of 2014 will be that the Lord is enabling Believers to be Destiny Fulfillers. There will be a "Double Portion" of His grace and anointing to cause destinies to be fulfilled. There will also be a release on Angels (Ministering Spirits) to help us to fulfill Destiny. 

As Angels were the keys of many Biblical battles recorded in the Bible, Angels will make up the victorious army of the Lord in the supernatural realm today. They will team with us, an earthly army, to enable victories.

The harvest of souls is imperative in this day and hour. The darkness in the earth is increasing to cause individuals to look for answers in life. The answer is Jesus. God is pouring out His Spirit today on all flesh – both Believers and unbelievers. 

The Church will arise in this hour to proclaim with power the name of Jesus and see many transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light.

Elisha became a great destiny fulfiller after receiving Elijah's mantle. He struck the water looking for the God of Elijah, the God of miracles. God parted the waters and Elisha went on to demonstrate even more miracles than Elijah. We need to be those that are striking the waters today with "Double Portion" mantles looking for the God of miracles. 

As we do, we are in for great times of signs, wonders, and miracles that we have not yet seen.

2014 A Year of "Double Blessings"

Double Blessing of Fruitfulness:

The first usage of the Hebrew root "to bless" is in Genesis 1:22, the 5th day of creation, when upon creating the creatures of the earth, sea, and sky, God blessed them and empowered them to be fruitful (the ability to reproduce) and also have dominion. This word "bless" denotes to endue with power for success, prosperity, longevity, etc.

This Hebrew word also conveys the idea of being supernaturally strengthened, and of our weakness being compensated with God's strength. It also means to kneel and acknowledge God as supreme. Therefore, a blessing from God is being empowered to do what is not within our natural capabilities. 

This will be a year where we will see impossible situations turned into supernatural victories.

Double Blessing of Advancing the Kingdom:

This "Double Portion" year will be a time when we can make great advancements in our destiny as we trust the Lord for strength to do things that we are incapable of doing alone. 

Even though there will be progressions in the world toward greater darkness we can also expect that God will strengthen us to be greater light during this same time period. When we are weak, we can say that we are strong by the power of the Lord.

A key verse of Scripture for this year will be the one that the Lord charged many leaders with "Be Strong and Courageous, Fear Not Nor be Dismayed, for the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).

A "Double Portion" of destiny fulfillment will be attainable this year of 2014. 

As Elisha received the mantle of Elijah it equipped him to impact lives for the Lord in a greater way than he ever had. He was empowered to be fruitful in Kingdom business and see the signs, wonders, and miracles of the Lord in abundance. We are already seeing physical miracles, emotional healings, supernatural debt reduction, and supernatural favor being released in this year of 2014.

We, like Elisha, will be empowered this year to be fruitful in Kingdom business. The Kingdom of God is being established in the earth today even in the midst of the darkness of the world. The time is approaching where the kingdoms of the world will become the Kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ. When that day happens, we will begin to rule and reign with Christ on the earth in a way that we have never seen before.

May you be "Strong and Courageous" as we move forward in Destiny in this 2014 year of "Double 7s, Double Portions, and Double Blessings."

Your Gifts Will Open Doors: A Promise From God - Paulette Reed

Your Gifts Will Open Doors: 

A Promise From God

(The Elijah List)

God-Given Gifts

The Bible assures us that every single person on earth has at least one – and probably several – God-given gifts placed inside of them to be used for God's glory. When we entered this world, God already had a plan for us and gave us the gifts we needed to fulfill our destinies.

When God called Jeremiah, He reassured him by saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5). 

God knew what Jeremiah was called to do and gave him the necessary gifts to fulfill that call even before he was born. God formed you in the womb too! 

He knows what you are called to do and has placed the perfect gifts inside of you to fulfill your destiny.

The apostle Paul assures us that each of us within the Body of Christ have different gifts that are a response to God's grace: "Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly..." (Romans 12:6).

And Peter reminded his readers that they were on earth to glorify God through the use of their gifts: "As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:10-11).

Keys To Open Doors

It's a great idea to ask yourself at the beginning of each year, "What is my vision? What is my destiny, and how am I to reach it?" 

Asking these questions will help us focus on God's plan and purpose for our lives. In response to each of these questions, it is important for us to set reachable goals that we can achieve with the Lord's help. Remember, if we don't have a target, we're not aiming at anything. And if we're not aiming at anything, we won't even know if we hit the mark because we don't know what we're aiming at.

As we step into 2014, which is the Year of the Open Door, let's return to the basics of the Gospel. Each of us should ponder these questions: 

What are our gifts from Heaven? Do we know what God has placed in us to fulfill His plan? Do we know what our part in that plan is? It's important for us to identify our gifts because they are the keys that open doors and bring us into our divine destiny. 

Proverbs 18:16 promises us, "A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men."

We can be sure that our gifts will play an integral part to fulfilling our God-given dreams. It's sad to watch people when they don't understand this connection. They begin to look for things in the world to fulfill their desires rather than looking to God. 

Unfortunately, most end up frustrated at best, and discouraged at worst. However, when we learn to walk in our God-given gifts, we are not only content with our vocations, but we become passionate about them as well.

The Rhythm of Heaven

It's true that education is good and beneficial for the fulfillment of many of our dreams. But the Word of God does not tell us that education will make room for us. Don't get me wrong here: Education is important and sometimes we can only walk through certain open doors because of our education. But the Bible is very clear that it is our gifts that make room for us. After all, we could earn multiple Master's degrees, but they may not help a bit if we don't know our true Master.

I like how 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (NLT) helps keep us humble:

"Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. 

And He chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God."

Beloved, our gifts from God bring us joy, peace, and success. It's when we learn to operate in them like a well-oiled machine, and are led by the Holy Spirit, that we can flow with the rhythm of Heaven.

Kingdom Finances

Here's another exciting aspect about our gifts. Not only will they open doors for us, but they can also bring us the finances we need to fulfill our destinies. When we use our gifts wisely for the Lord, He will give us favor so finances will be freely given to us, so that we can keep advancing the Kingdom of God. 

In other words, once the gift of God within us is activated, it can become a usable commodity that ushers in promotion. Daniel is the perfect example of this godly concept when he used his gifts to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's dream:

"Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and did homage to Daniel, and gave orders to present to him an offering and fragrant incense. The king answered Daniel and said, 'Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, since you have been able to reveal this mystery.' Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon" (Daniel 2:46-48).

Practicing Our Gifts

After discovering our God-given gifts, it then becomes our responsibility to continually practice using them. 

God has called each of us to exercise our gifts so they become strong. 

Just like we will never reach our health goals without exercising regularly, so we may never reach our life goals if we don't exercise our gifts regularly. When we practice our gifts, we'll become more confident in our identity in Christ, thus fulfilling His plan and purpose for us.

And might I suggest here that we stay focused on "our" gifts and let the Lord bring other gifts around us. For example, I remember years ago when I was serving a brilliant author. I was helping take his writings and organize them into sequenced trainings. 

One day I looked at the leader and said, "We need to pray that the Lord gives you the gift of administration!" He looked directly at me, smiled, and said, "He did...she's sitting right there." It was a prophetic moment in my life that I didn't forget. 

God will bring other people (they are gifts themselves, and they also have various gifts) around us to connect the dots on the road to destiny.

Often times people get stalled in the pursuit of dreams because they're waiting for some man or woman to open doors for them. But listen! God has a better plan for you. He has given you the keys to open doors to your future – those keys are your gifts. And the gifts inside of you are perfect because they are what God determined for you to have even before you were born.

When we wisely use our God-given gifts, they bring God glory and bring us before kings. Let's take the time to do a spiritual inventory, asking God to strengthen and use our gifts for His glory. After all, it's not just about the gifts; it's about worshiping and honoring the Gift-Giver – His name is Jesus. He gave us the greatest gift ever...the gift of eternal life to all who will receive it.

Arleen Westerhof with Sharon Stone: "The Year of Open Doors - To Positions of Influence" - Prophetic Word For 2014

Love For His People Editor's Note: The words that continually jump out in prophetic words, for 2014, is "acceleration" and "open doors." Personally, since the Jewish new year 5774 began in September, 2013, I have experienced this. I hope you do too!

Arleen Westerhof with Sharon Stone:

"The Year of Open Doors - To Positions of Influence"
Prophetic Word For 2014 

From The Netherlands Prophetic Council

(The Elijah List)

A Short Testimony

Since the last time I sent you a prophetic word I've learned personally how God can use you to start to fulfill your own prophetic words. In 2011, The Elijah List published my word "Advance From Breakthrough Into Victory." One of the paragraphs in this word was:

Apostles and prophets will be raised up who have the wisdom, strategy and grace to mentor and disciple people who can lead corporations as CEO's, entrepreneurs, heads of communities, states and even nations.

Apostles and prophets will not just plant and build churches, but they will have the structures for managing and rebuilding ruined cities and nations. Prophets will serve in government, helping to structure the educational policy of nations, etc.

That word has not left me alone since then and has even kept me awake some nights praying for God to raise up the Josephs and the Daniels who have solutions for the global economic crisis. In Europe people are already starting to talk about a "lost generation" with a continental average of almost 25% of 18-25 year olds being unemployed.

To make a long story short, last year God started to give revelation on the solution. The result – the European Economic Summit, which will be held in Amsterdam this year from 18-20 September (economicsummit.eu).

The goal of the European Economic Summit 2014 is to formulate and present new Biblical models for the crisis-plagued economies of Europe in the 21st century. We desire to see a healthy and vital Europe that is able to offer opportunities (education, work, spiritual renewal) for the many, both inside and outside of Europe's borders. God has given a lot of favor with 11 European and International networks locking shields to make this happen.

Who says that prophets can't be practical!

Blessings and kind regards,

2014, The Year of Open Doors

Winds of change are blowing across the earth, and this is visible in both the natural and the spiritual realms. These violent winds of change are blowing out the old era and ushering in the new: "Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new'" (Revelation 21:5). Political and religious structures are shifting. New leaders are being raised up, and many of these will be appointed and/or elected in 2014. While this happens, doors are opening in the heavenly realms.

"2014 is the Year of Open Doors,"says the Lord; doors that will bring us into a new era. 

These doors will have a visible effect upon the earth, e.g. spiritual renewal vs. a further hardening of our hearts as individuals and as a nation, and transformation vs. the acceptance of the status quo. These open doors will be doors of unprecedented opportunity and influence. 

How we respond to them will determine the destiny of nations.

Open Doors

• In 2014 great doors of opportunity for the preaching of the Gospel will be opened.

1 Corinthians 16:8-9 But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

 2 Corinthians 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's Gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord...

2014 will be the season of the evangelist.

This will set the stage for a fuller manifestation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God on the earth. It's harvest time! Not only will we see multitudes coming to Christ, but we will see nations discipled as God's principles begin to be applied in different societal spheres of influence.

Even now, God is equipping and positioning Kingdom-minded Believers for this task. New training schools will be started to facilitate this process.

• Doors will open in 2014 for Believers to step into positions of influence in the media, economics, government and the judicial system.

One of our Council members saw in a vision how people influenced by the anti-Christ spirit were busy dictating how the spheres of influence, and society as a whole, should function, e.g. job creation, housing, health care, education, etc. Laws were being drafted which will place people under a yoke of slavery. Righteousness and justice, however, are the foundations of God's throne (see Psalm 89:14).

There are 60 verses in the New King James Version Bible describing the things that happened at the door of the tabernacle. These were not just limited to religious activity.

Civil Law, justice, family issues (from baby dedications to inheritance rights), etc. were legislated and carried out there. Our mandate is to establish God's Kingdom on the earth: "On earth as it is in Heaven" (Matthew 6:10). 

This does not mean that we should expect that things will be perfect, but rather that God's principles will become increasingly evident in the different influential spheres, as Believers with a Biblical world view step through these doors and take the positions in the world that God has prepared for them.

• A double-door of opportunity is opening up to marketplace ministers who have allowed God to weed out the roots of Mammon in their hearts.

Isaiah 45:1-3 Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held – to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut:

"I will go before you and make the crooked places straight. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel."

In 2014 God is going to blow to bits the idea that Christians have to be poor in order to please God. Cyrus was lavishly resourced by God to accomplish His purposes – to finance the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem. 

Levels of resourcing will be released to several in 2014 that we haven't even begun to dream about yet, and the concept of "businesses that bring transformation" will become widely known.

A new time of Christian philanthropy has begun.

• We are going to have to recognize the Day of our Visitation.

Genesis 18:1-5 Then the Lord appeared to Him (Abraham)... as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, "My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Please let a little water be brought, and wash Your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant..."

Abraham did not know that it was the Lord who was passing by at that moment. Something inside of him, however, caused him to recognize that this day, which at first glance looked like any other normal day, was different.

That is why he ran from the tent door to meet the men. In doing so, he received the promise that within a year Sarah would have the son that they had waited so long for. God also told him about His plans for Sodom and Gomorrah. In 2014 we will have to stay alert to be able to recognize these kinds of moments.

• In 2014 the open door will see God coming down to talk to His people.

Exodus 29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, where I will meet you to speak with you.

Exodus 33:9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.

There has already been a door open in Heaven for quite some time now, and many have received revelation as they have been taken up to the Third Heaven (see Revelation 4:1). This will be different however.

When God came down to speak to Moses, He talked to him about how to lead the people and shape society. 2014 will see an increase in the number of people receiving practical revelation from God for the world we live in. Third Heaven experiences will also continue.

• Doors of fast and miraculous answers to prayer have been opened.

Acts 12:16-17 Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. But motioning to tem with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren." And he departed and went to another place.

A few weeks ago there was a story in one of our national newspapers about a failed assassination attempt on someone in one of our cities. A criminal had held a gun to the head of a man and had pulled the trigger twice. Both times the gun failed to fire. The would-be assassin ran away but was later caught by the police. 

(Photo via Wikipedia/by Bartolome Esteban Murillo)

The intended victim was an acquaintance of one of our church members. When we asked this person about it, he told us that God had woken him up one night two weeks earlier and had told him to pray for the other man's protection.

This he did immediately until he received God's peace on the matter. He then said, "I know the type of gun that was used and it is very reliable. It always works. It's a miracle that it did not fire!" Miraculous answers to prayer like this are going to start to become so commonplace in 2014 that after a while we won't even be surprised anymore. The supernatural power of God in answer to the prayer of His people will become increasingly visible in our nation(s).

Know Who You Are

Another one of our council members also had a vision. He saw a magician standing on a stage with a big red button on it. The magician invited a boy from the audience to come up onto the stage and push the button. Our council member said: "I had the idea that when the boy pushed the button, fireworks would go off and a huge celebration would erupt. I realized instantly that the magician was God, the Father, and that the little boy was the Netherlands." 

The Netherlands is called to push the button to start the new era. The Netherlands is small compared to other nations, but it has played this role in the past.

In spite of the fact that the boy had been invited to push the button, he didn't do it. Instead, he hesitated. We hesitate because we lack assurance and we do not trust that we have the ability to do what God has called us to do. 

The Spirit of God is saying, however, that, "The time when we did not know who we were has passed." The Netherlands is called to push the button and to change the world.

Heroes

Daniel 11:32b ...but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

2014 will see a new outpouring of the "hero spirit" as God raises up a new generation of mighty men and women. 

The sons and daughters of God will rise up, shake off their lethargy and fear, and confront the armies of darkness that have our nation(s) in their grip:"Then David said to the Philistine, 'You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 

This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands'" (I Samuel 17:45-47).

Many will be encouraged and will themselves rise up and do exploits as they see and hear the stories of the modern-day Gideons and Davids who God is raising up even now. The hero spirit and taking back ground that has been lost will be important characteristics of this new move of the Spirit that God is unleashing upon the earth and which will pick up speed in 2014.
