2007, A YEAR TO BLOW THE SHOFAR--THE CUTTING VOICE OF GOD
by Joni Ames

SHEPHERD'S ROD 5767 (2007):

Blow the Shofar! 2007 is the "Year of the Shofar"--the cutting voice of God, walking through our wildernesses, asking us as He asked Adam, "Where are you? Where are you mentally, physically, spiritually, and in the pursuit of the purpose, calling, and destiny for which you were born?" That Shofar--the cutting voice of God, will cut through the "stuff" in our lives, and will lead us through repentance to victory.

Acts 3:19 will be the theme, "Repent so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

Year of restoration to the church of the healing anointing, which was so strong in 1957-1967. However, there is warning to not try to "do it like they did." It is the same God, but this is a new time and season, and we are not to look back, but forward.

It's time to stop having a religious spirit about not having a religious spirit. This will be a year of restoration of the pursuit of holiness. Again, not religiousness, but holiness.

This will be a year of advancement for the 24-hour Tabernacle of David worship/intercession prayer models (Amos 9:11).

The finding and the return of the WWI vet was a prophetic sign of the return of the church's POW's. Expect MANY unsaved loved ones to come into the Kingdom!

Year of preparation.

Year of tempers exploding. Kingdoms colliding and erupting. Volcanic eruptions in the natural and spiritual realms.

"Awake, Awake" (Isaiah 52). Warfare on new levels. The "nuke" test by North Korea was a warning of things to come. The battle lines are being drawn.

Time for discernment and caution. Don't overextend and get into trouble. What goes up, must come down. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by recent Dow Jones figures. "The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow with it" (Proverbs 10:22).

It's important for the Word of Faith and Prophetic streams to merge. Miracles and healing will abound as this happens.

The Lord is asking us, "What do you want?" You can have what you ask for as you ask in His Will.

Steve Irwin's death contained a prophetic warning. Watch who and what you swim with, so that it does not pierce you in the heart. Evil company can prove deadly, spiritually and/or naturally.

God asks, "How desperate are you for Me? Show Me." And the "Show Me" state of Missouri will do just that.

Year to go beyond more than just surviving; beyond truly living; time to THRIVE! May the zeal of the Lord consume us! (Isaiah 9:7).

Pray for the protection of the pregnant women and the children coming forth. They are a generation of deliverers. The enemy has been trying to thwart their coming into the world. No weapon formed will prosper.

Year for the Psalm 68:11. There is a great company of women to come forth as production specialists in the church. The church without women leaders will have no reproduction. Women leaders are coming forth in the church and in government.

Year of proclaiming and declaring decrees.

Year for Forerunners to come forth and prepare the way of the Lord.

The fires in California were a sign of the coming consuming fire of God there. It will be a fire that cannot be quenched.

Time to plug into the Galatians 2:20--power and to "light up," and let your light shine with spiritual maturity. Time to draw people to Him and the Church, not scare them away from it.

Year for advancement and advancement strategies for businessmen and women in the church. Time for many Marketplace ministries to come forth and thrive. Time to "Go for it" (in wisdom and with proper counsel) regarding your unfulfilled business idea or invention.

Year for many witches to be set free.

Watch for men and women of color to come into God ordained positions in the U.S. government, not with a racial chip on their shoulder, but with God at the helm. God's promises are coming forth for the faithful in this time of due season.

God is calling the "over 50's" to come into position "for such a time as this."

God is calling forth anointed Writers to stop procrastinating--grab your pen or computer keyboard and get busy. The anointed pen of the ready-writer is upon you, and publication will come as you obey the Holy Spirit and write.
