This is the Year of DOUBLES...! Expect your capacity to love to increase. Your spiritual and physical gifts will double this year in their accuracy, authority and power. Elisha asked Elijah for a double portion of his spirit. He was told by Elijah "If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." Spiritual sight is going to be very important to bring forth the increase. Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing.
2 Kings 2:9-14, "When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, "Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over." NASU
You get what you expect and ask for. Ask God for His vision, wisdom and great grace. Expect great things this year! God is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, or imagine Ephesians 3:20. You have great potential in God!
Only You can Improve You
Determine you want to develop yourself, your skills, talents, and your spiritual gifts. No one else can improve you but, you. Invest your time, money and efforts in yourself you are worth it! Self evaluation will insure continued growth. You must plan, execute and pursue your God goals. Ask yourself, "What has God called me to?" "What are my spiritual and natural gifts?" "What do I want? What type of people, work and hobbies do I enjoy? How do I do God's will? And what is my reward when I achieve my goals and execute His plans?" Jeremiah 29:11
Successful people believe in God, in themselves, and in others. They think big positive thoughts. Success welcomes new challenges. Successful people will put forth the effort that is needed to accommodate and love others. Successful people see every opportunity as a possibility; and an adventure. They will rise to the occasion and triumph. Do you view difficulties as a problem, a challenge, a possible failure or a new opportunity?
Visualize yourself as successful in work relationships, at home and in your social life. Use positive favorable adjectives to describe yourself. Praise others by building them up. Notice and sincerely complement those who are around you. Build people with your words. Let your eyes of love see them as they are in the future reaching their highest potential. Vision sees the possibilities of what can be then makes it happen. The best people see their friends not as they are currently, but as they can be.
Make a plan to prosper in every area of your life and execute it. Goals are really your God dreams being acted upon. What do you want your life to accomplish? State your goals clearly so you can run with them. Make a one, five and ten year plan. Who do you see yourself being in one, five and ten years? Allow God to form a powerful positive image of yourself.
It is Time for Man to Agree with God
2011 promises to be an amazing exciting year. Eleven is two ones standing side by side...Can two walk together except they agree? It is time for man to agree with God. Men and women coming into agreement so the two shall become as one! Ruth encountered Boaz at the threshing floor. He gave her six scoops of barley when she was only able to glean three on her own. They became fruitful. The spirit of unity between the two will bring forth a double measure. Isaiah 11:11 speaks of God giving us a second chance to be the best we can be.
There is a call for more holiness so God can visit us again. He wants to deliver us from our enemies called "such a one" Ruth 4:1, and defeat them once and for all. What enemy have you been battling for years? What has been keeping you from entering into true intimacy with the Lover of your Soul? Deuteronomy 23:14, "Since the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away from you."
Holiness means we have been set apart from the ordinary. We are elevated above the average or normal. We become supernatural deserving of honor.
The number eleven represents prophetic revelation and transition that will bring disorder, disorganization and incompletion into order. Joseph lived in Potiphar's house for 11 years. Joseph surrendered his robe and position instead of compromising his integrity and character. What do you need to let go of this year?
God Goals
Set eleven GOD GOALS for yourself in 2011. Make short plans and design a step by step approach to reach your long term goals? Discontinue any destructive or negative behaviors. Begin constructive positive behaviors. Setting goals energizes you by increasing your life accomplishments.
One is God's number! One represents the eternal omnipotent God. He is the source of our new beginning. God is our link between heaven and earth. He holds all things together and in Him all things exist.
This is the Hebrew Year 5771. It is represented by the Ayin, which means to see, and the Aleph, which means one. This is the Year to see the "Beautiful One!" When we see Jesus and submit to him as our King, He will release power and a new authority to us. When we truly see Him we will repent and become like Him!
After Job experienced God's faithfulness through his severe trials he said in Job 42:5-6, "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; Therefore I retract, and I repent in dust and ashes." We will see God in a whole new way and relate to Him on a higher level of trust. God is an awesome God! We are His bondservants and friends if we love and obey Him.
Embrace Times of Solitude
Just because you are alone doesn't mean you have to feel lonesome. Be an independent positive thinker. To be creative it is necessary to be rested. Create a distraction free, restful environment where you can be refreshed. Take time to be alone. It is important to reflect on every aspect of your life. Search your heart and invite the Holy Spirit to uncover the wonderful things He has hidden within you. Psalms 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. NASU
Get to know yourself. Discover and explore new dimensions of who you are called to be. Ask the Holy Spirit, "What should my next move or step be?" Managed solitude combined with directed thinking and prayer releases creative ideas and inventive thoughts. Use solitude to resolve problems or difficult situations. Solitude allows you to tap into your creative leadership power. Leaders are thinkers. Solitude will bring godly wisdom to the surface. Reflection and self examination will help you gain a clearer view of your strengths and weaknesses in order to make appropriate changes. Self evaluation is important for success.
David was alone on a hillside when he learned to trust God's power to deliver him from his adversaries. The battle is the Lord's and He will give our enemies into our hands. If God is for us who can be against us? We must know who we are in Christ. Know God, know yourself and know your friends and your adversary.
Samuel learned to hear and see God when he was alone resting by the ark of His presence. 1 Samuel 3:9-11, And Eli said to Samuel, "Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Then the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for Your servant is listening."
The Holy Spirit will guide your path. He will heal, equip, increase and discipline you as you honor the Father.
Coming into Alignment
Heaven and Earth are coming into alignment to bear witness. Believers on earth who agree with and choose the plans of heaven to release the abundant life and blessings will become witnesses and possess the land. They will demonstrate God's purposes on earth. Deuteronomy 30:19-20, "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
(11) 1+1= 2 Two is the number of witness, support and multiplication, revelation, harmony and the Living Word. The great cloud of witnesses will watch our transformation or transfiguration into Kingdom people. We are commissioned to be world changers! It's time to impact the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ's love and eternal Kingdom.
The Psalm for 2011 is Psalm 111 (3 ones) Three is the number of God. The trinity will be focused upon this year.
January 11, 2011 (1/11/11) Isaiah 11:11, "It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time To recover the remnant of His people who are left," NKJV (God is the God of a second chance.)
Deuteronomy 11:1 "But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year." NASU
Christ Nature in You
111 is the number for My BELOVED SON!!! Allow the character of Christ and His loving nature to be formed in you. The son of righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. Malachi 4:2-3 "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. "You will tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day which I am preparing," says the Lord of hosts. NASU
100 is the number that means election; children of promise, maturity, full count or measure, recompense, reward, God's election of grace, holiness bringing a new growth cycle.
Hebrews 5:1, "But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil." NASU
1 Corinthians 2:6-9, "Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him. NASU
Ephesians 4:11-16 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. NASU
10 is the number of law, government, restoration, nurture, order, trials, testings and responsibility. Ten is the number for wilderness journey, the pastor, our testimony, ordinal perfection, divine order, completeness, the tithe, and the fullness of time. We are going to see a lot of things the enemy has stolen restored and come back into order as we complete our wilderness journey this year.
My life scripture has been Matthew 6:33, "Seek you first the kingdom and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." When we seek to find our place at Jesus' beautiful feet and not His face or His blessings with our whole heart He will be found of us. Write God's precepts on your heart.
Releasing His Glory
Wholehearted praise and adoration with the fear and honor of the Lord will release His glory, compassion and wisdom to do the greater works.
God is going to perform His works through His bondservant's hands this year!
Psalm 90:16-17, "Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands."
God is mindful of His covenant. We will demonstrate His SOZO salvation, healing, deliverance, and power of love to the nations. (We have received power to be witnesses Acts 1:8).God is collecting some of His inheritance from the nations this year.
Isaiah 49:8-1, "Thus says the Lord, "In a favorable time I have answered You, And in a day of salvation I have helped You; And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people, To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages; Saying to those who are bound, 'Go forth,' To those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' Along the roads they will feed, And their pasture will be on all bare heights. "They will not hunger or thirst, Nor will the scorching heat or sun strike them down; For He who has compassion on them will lead them And will guide them to springs of water. "I will make all My mountains a road, And My highways will be raised up." NASU
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. The Spirit of Wisdom is going to release healing on a new level. Mark 6:2-3, "When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?"
Promotion and Power
Promotion and power is being released to the humble and pure of heart. There is power in your testimony. Share the great things God has done for you. God is releasing the Spirit of Wisdom to operate in the healing anointing, look for healings and miracles to double! There is an increased corporate anointing to touch large groups and gatherings of people in the church and beyond the church walls. God's healing power is going to flow everywhere you release it. Many who already attend church will get saved this year as they discover Jesus' love and faithfulness for the first time.
Truth and justice are coming forth for the upright! The Lord is going to repay you for all the injustices, disappointments and painful betrayals you have suffered for righteousness sake.
Vindication is coming from God this year! Psalms 17:2-3, "Let my vindication come from Your presence; Let your eyes look on the things that are upright. You have tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress." Get in His presence and allow His eyes of love to see you. His loving arms will hold and comfort you in the night.
Christ Lives in you!
You carry the authority of His name so walk and talk like it. Command the adversary to flee. Prophesy change to your circumstances and situations.
To walk into the fullness of our destiny we need covenant relationships. Invest in disciplining a team of loyal, responsible friends who are willing to support and serve God. Covenant people will resolve to lovingly protect your back like Jonathan did for David. It is essential to know who believes in you. Friends will speak hope, faith, belief and promises into your life. Rise up and move forward, keep going until you reach your new day. Freedom is when you let go of everything that binds or restrains your forward motion.
Wholehearted submission to God's commandments will bring forth Kingdom understanding. Learn to walk in intimacy with God like Enoch.
Transition is a life style so get used to it! Transition enables you to be promoted, to go from one realm of glory to the higher realms of glory. Philippians 3:12-16,
"Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained." NASU
