2015 -
A Year of Sifting, Shifting and Lifting
I have noticed over the last couple of
years that Holy Spirit has begun to minister a prophetic word for the New Year
several months preceding January. This
year He revealed to me the significance of this is due to the Biblical
calendar, whose New Year begins earlier than the Gregorian calendar New
Year. Although Holy Spirit ministered
this message to me for 2015 a while back, He is leading me to share it now.
Holy Spirit ministered to me that 2015 is
a year of sifting for God’s people, when God is shifting the atmosphere and
supernaturally lifting His remnant to a place of functioning beyond their
gifting. It is a year when it is
essential for the people of God to differentiate between good, better and best
and to refuse to settle for less than God’s perspective of best. Some things are lawful, but not expedient. Some things are permissible by God but not
required or even desired by God. We must
keep the main or primary thing first.
This requires a continual and fervent spiritual search to know the heart
and passion of God. We must seek His WAY
and trust Him to fulfill His will. We
must seek His FACE (intimacy) and trust Him to manifest His unchanging hand
(provision and grace) in our lives. God
desires us to see His Big picture for our lives and trust Him with the details
of it.
Holy Spirit ministered this further to me
through an enquiry that I made of Him. I
enquired of the Lord to know whether or not He had changed His ministry in and
through me in order to know how to proceed in faith and prayer concerning
His will. The following day I experienced
a tremendous overshadowing of God’s presence during worship. In the midst of being flooded by His
presence, Holy Spirit suddenly ministered His answer to my enquiry in the most
unexpected way. He showered me with such
a peace and realization that the answer to my question is that it does not
matter. Rather, He instructed me to just
continue to worship Him and pursue His presence, maintaining the Big Picture or
vision of intimacy with Him as my sole pursuit, and to leave all the details to
Him. Surprisingly, I felt such a release
and understanding that truly it is sufficient and best to pursue the Way of
God, knowing by faith that He will take care of the details of His will in and
through my life.
I pray God’s blessings upon each of God’s
sons and daughters throughout this season of sifting, shifting, and
lifting. May we like Moses receive the
fullness of the revelation of God’s Way and learn to walk in the Spirit by
faith according to God’s will, and not by our own sight. May we rather learn to SEE as God SEES
through the wondrous gift of worship and intercession (a continuous entering
into Him session), by which we SEE through the eyes of Abba’s heart, the eyes
of the Mind of Yeshua, and the eyes of the seven-fold Spirit of God. In Yeshua’s most precious name. Amen.
