Delve into Discipleship in 2012!

The Word of the Lord:

“Delve into Discipleship in 2012!”

Matthew 28:18-20 – “Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.  Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age.  Amen (so let it be).”  (AMP)

Matthew 28:18-20 –  “Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age." (CJB)

            For many consecutive years the Holy Spirit has ministered a Word to me regarding the upcoming New Year.  This year has been unique in that He spoke to me several months ago, which is much earlier in the year than usual.  He has revealed to me that the year 2012 will be a year of Divine Discipleship.  In fact, the will of the Lord for the upcoming year is a continuation or result of His manifested Word for 2011 in the lives of His remnant.

            God spoke to me before the entrance of this year, “There is an Open Heaven in 2011”.  He also revealed that only those positioned properly would experience and receive from that Open Heaven.  The year 2012 will be a year of great impartation of what God has outpoured into His remnant into the lives of others through discipleship.  God is saying that just as 2011 has not yet passed, so the season of the Open Heaven continues.  Therefore, we must seek God’s face diligently and press into His presence to receive fully from the Open Heaven of this season, in order to be fully prepared for the season of discipleship that is coming.

            The process of receiving impartation from the Godhead through His Open Heaven and subsequently imparting into others through discipleship is a God ordained part of the Apostolic Process.  Once again, God has revealed to me the following Apostolic Process: Preparation, Revelation, and Reformation, which births and brings forth Reconciliation in our own lives and in the lives of others.  God is saying that discipleship can and will take on many unique forms in this hour.  Although relationship with God and man is the essential common factor of discipleship, God will manifest discipleship through His people in new and creative ways.  He will also connect His people in unique and creative ways.  Therefore, Proverbs 3:5-6 is crucial in this hour. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.” (AMP)

We MUST be led by the Spirit of God… allowing Him to fully lead and direct our paths and relationships throughout the apostolic impartation and discipleship process.  God is saying BE READY for Divine appointments and connections as never before!  Expect the unexpected, and remember that true discipleship BEGINS and CONTINUES in and through Christ.  No matter the position to which one is elevated, we must remain submitted and surrendered to the discipleship of Christ, and the specific ways He chooses to impart into our lives.

This is a time of preparation for the fulfillment of God’s Word in our lives.  This is NOT the time to just sit idly by expecting things to “just happen”.  God is calling the INTERCESSORS to the forefront to BIRTH God’s Word and Will into manifestation!  It is time to stand as watchmen on the wall and SEE AS GOD SEES.  It is time to stand and function as God’s ambassadors in the specific TIME, PLACE, and POSITION to which He has called us individually and corporately.  God is calling the prayer WARRIORS to the forefront to war against principalities and powers that come to kill, steal and destroy the work and will of God in the Earth.  It is time to be strong and courageous, as we WAGE WAR against everything that is not like God… beginning in our own hearts and lives!  God is calling us, His Church, His Bride, His Remnant… to REPENTANCE.  For, we must set our own house in order before we seek to disciple others in setting theirs in order!
