The Lord is Releasing New Mantles in 2017 by Lana Vawser Identity Network

The Lord is Releasing New Mantles in 2017 by Lana Vawser

Soaking is a huge key in 2017 to see and experience the greater weight of His glory.

 
As I spent time with the Lord recently I had a vision where I saw encounters with Jesus happening right across the body of Christ where the Lord was specifically releasing new mantles upon His people. These new mantles were for the new season that we are entering into as the body of Christ.

 
He is looking for those chasing His heart and humility.

 
The first thing I noticed was His eyes, He was looking, His eyes were roaming through the body of Christ and instantly I knew what He was looking for.  He was looking for those chasing after His heart simply to know Him and humility!

 
New Mantles

 
I then noticed that these mantles when placed upon many of God's people, it was like they had rivers of water rushing within them, yet they were burning with fire at the same time.

 
I felt the Lord saying that these new mantles will bring great refreshing to those who receive it and refreshing will flow from them to others. The fire upon these mantles was such deep revelation of His love and the purity He is releasing through these anointings.

 
As the Lord was releasing these new mantles I saw Him smiling and He spoke "These new mantles are for the significant increase that is upon you in this new season of 2017. There will be greater capacity and greater grace." I also saw the words significant strategic strategy and felt the Lord say that as these new mantles are released there will be clarity and wisdom releasing significant strategic strategy to know how to operate in these new mantles.

 
Soaking is a Huge Key for 2017

 
I then heard the words "I am releasing these new mantles in 2017 and soaking will be a huge key to see and experience the greater weight of My Glory and living from this realm will see greater ease, explosive increase of favor and fruitfulness manifest. 2016 has been a year of great weight (heaviness) and waiting for many of My people, 2017 will be a year where as you soak and wait upon me, you will see the weight of my glory in a way you have never seen or experienced."

 
"So much will change in My glory! Soaking is a strategic key in 2017 for My people in moving into greater realms of manifested victory!"

 
Guard Your Hearts Against Jealousy and Competition

 
"Guard your hearts against jealousy and competition for the enemy will attempt to stir up issues of the soul and woundings to tempt God's people to move in jealousy at the mantles and favor that I am releasing. Keep checks on your hearts and inviting Me into those deep places to bring healing. Bless and celebrate those around you while waiting for your breakthrough and watch and see what I will do for you!!! Entertaining jealousy and competition will cause a delay! Stay in My presence and worship and I will reveal My love to you and your identity in new ways that will see jealousy find no place!!!!"

 
The "Queen of Sheba" will be Drawn to You

 
"There will be tremendous acceleration in 2017 and there is a temptation to be overwhelmed, but do not let yourself get caught up in busyness, but know that as you prioritize time to soak you will see greater fruitfulness in our intimacy and you will hear Me clearly amongst the acceleration, you will see your capacity increase, you will live with greater peace, you will see greater manifested victory and you will see greater amounts of fruit for little effort. Excellence in Me will be seen in significant ways that will draw the Queen of Sheba to You! In the prioritized time to soak in the secret place, you will see Isaiah 22:22 explode before you! But you will not be overwhelmed by these doors, because as you have soaked in My presence and spent time with Me, I have given you strategy before the doors even appear to you!!!"

 
Soaking is a huge key in 2017!

How to Guard Your Heart From Bitterness by Lee Grady - IDENTITY NETWORK

How to Guard Your Heart From Bitterness by Lee Grady

IDENTITY NETWORK
Recently a friend of mine hurt me deeply. I felt betrayed and disrespected. I tried to pretend the insult was no big deal, but inside I was seething. I can always tell when resentment has invaded my life because I start obsessing about the pain. When I went to bed that evening, I literally felt sore. All I could think about was retaliation.

But just before falling asleep I mouthed a prayer. I meant what I said, even though my feelings begged me to retract the words. I prayed: "Lord, help me to forgive _____." Then, during the night I dreamed that I was enjoying a friendly conversation with this person. When I woke up, it felt as if we had really been talking!

It was a miracle. I realized the dream was God's way of softening my heart and taking out the offense. The Lord gave me the grace to forgive.

Ending Offenses

Perhaps you've been insulted, overlooked, stabbed in the back or mistreated - and now bitterness is poisoning your soul. Don't let it spread any further. You can nip your offense in the bud by following these guidelines:

  • Don't nurse your grudge. It feels good to our flesh when we replay an offense in our minds and then fantasize about hurting the other person. But if you star in and direct this dramatic movie in your head, you are going to be making sequels for months and years until bitterness makes you sick. Pull the plug on the whole production now.

  • Let go of all revenge. C.S. Lewis said: "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." No matter how a person offends you, be humble enough to recognize that you've probably done the same thing to someone else before. Quit sharpening your knives. You will be tempted to think about hurting the person, but remember that those knives are hurting you worse than anyone else.

  • Don't spread your bitterness. Sometimes you may need to vent to a close friend about what happened, but this isn't so you can ruin the reputation of the person who hurt you. If you share your pain with someone because you need advice, don't seek sympathy or go to those who have animosity toward the person who hurt you. That's like mixing toxic chemicals! Instead, go to mentors or friends who are mature enough to tell you the truth. You may feel mistreated, but the speck in your brother's eye may actually be a log in yours. A true friend will tell you that you are overreacting or being unreasonable.

  • Pray for good things to happen to the person who hurt you. Jesus urged His disciples to love and pray for their persecutors (Matt. 5:44). That's a foreign concept in this age when we unfriend people on Facebook just because they forgot to invite us to a party. Calm down, let go of your petty outrage and ask God to bless the person who offended you. Forgiving prayer will feel like a warm salve applied to your wound.

  • Reach out and expect to repair the relationship. Jesus places a high priority on reconciliation. He wants us to get along. If you are praying and you remember that someone has something against you, Jesus said, "First be reconciled to your brother" (Matt. 5:24). On the flip side, He said if someone has sinned against you, "go and reprove him" (Matt. 18:15).

In both cases Jesus commanded us to confront. And confrontation is never easy. We'd rather just avoid each other. We'd rather "bury our hatchets," pretending that our nasty attitude is gone just because it's well-hidden under our Sunday morning smiles. But true forgiveness is not burying a hatchet while we still hate a person inwardly; forgiveness requires us to surrender the hatchet to Jesus.

  • Ask for God's forgiving love to fill your heart. One of my favorite preachers, Corrie ten Boom, struggled to forgive the Nazis who beat her in the Ravensbrück prison camp. After the Germans surrendered, she met a former Nazi guard in the street, and he told her he had become a Christian. He reached out his hand and asked her for forgiveness. She couldn't look at him.

But then Corrie remembered Romans 5:5, which says, "The love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit." She realized that when we don't have the capacity to forgive, God gives us the love. Jesus changed Corrie's heart.

Corrie added: "God's love is stronger than my hatred and unforgiveness. That same moment I was free. I could say, 'Brother, give me your hand,' and I shook hands with him, and it was as if I could feel God's love streaming through my arms."

Jesus didn't promise a life without offenses. Hurt happens. But He provided the way to keep resentment from ruining our lives. As we enter this new year, make a conscious decision that you will embrace a life of miraculous forgiveness.
