“There’s an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for me to minister here, even though there are many who oppose and stand against me.” 1 Corinthians 16:9 TPT
“I have promised to rescue you from your oppression in Egypt. I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.” Exodus 3:17
The land the Lord promised to the Israelites was already actively occupied by several nations, yet God said He had already given them this land. The year ahead is represents an amazing door of opportunity that the Lord has opened wide open for us, but let’s not be naive – there are many that will try and oppose us, many of whom may appear to be mightier than we are. This is because just as in the time of Moses, there’s no uncontested territory in life: expansion in territory for one may mean a corresponding reduction in territory for another. The more territory we take, the more that will be dispossessed. Thus, contention is inevitable. However, there’s a posture we must maintain in addressing this opposition from the vantage point of people who have already won the battle.
This series we’re exploring the 7 types of postures a warrior can take when contending for territory against “giants”. We trust the Holy Spirit to bring illumination and counsel regarding our specific circumstances and opportunities as we go through this series. Click here to download the series.
Awakened Spirit: Accessing All God Has For Us
“Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”” Ephesians 5:14
There’s a phenomenon known as sleepwalking, when a person is asleep but goes through the motions of performing an activity. Similarly it’s possible for us to be asleep in the spirit, going through motions but not making tangible progress. Oftentimes it’s lack of spiritual awakening that leads to us not attaining the fullness of all God has for us. What does awakening mean?
*The act of awaking from sleep
*A revival of interest or attention
*A recognition, realization, or coming into awareness of something
The Lord recognises the importance of an awakened spirit this season in enabling us to can fully partake in all He has already prepared for us. Join us this series to partner with the Holy Spirit as He guides us into a spiritual awakening that will transform our lives and destinies. Click here to download the series.
God’s Restoration: Unlocking 2025
‘I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine. I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God.’ Amos 9:14-15
The months ahead hold a lot of promise and one of the things we should expect as believers is the expansion of our relationship with God. A committed, intentional and consistent walk with God will always yield results and one of the results we should expect is restoration.
‘For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob like the excellence of Israel, for the emptiers have emptied them out and ruined their vine branches.’ Nahum 2:2
When we think of restoration, we may think of returning something to its previous state, the way it was before something happened to it. However, when God talks about restoration, His intention is to bring that person or situation back to His original plan for it.
What is the difference? As an illustration: Perhaps you feel you have lost time in a particular area and are asking the Lord for restoration of lost time. From God’s perspective, where you are coming from may not be where God intended you to be. So when God restores you, He won’t take you back to the less than ideal state you were before. Rather He will begin the process to return you to where He originally intended for you to be at that point.
This series we are exploring 10 critical areas we can trust God to bring restoration, and we ask as that the Holy Spirit grants us revelation and sensitivity to what He’s doing, He also gives us the grace to trust His process. Click here to download the study.
