This Year We Will Win Together. The Lord said 2009 was, “The year the ‘stars’ died alone… but that 2010 will be the year we win together.” I feel like the Lord showed me that He had strategically partnered us with people in 2009, and even though it was not always those we had expected or wanted, the people He has established in our lives are our sovereign breakthrough teams. I felt that those ones He placed around us are the very people who will walk alongside us into victory in 2010.
He showed me that there is going to be a new Fathering anointing released to the Body of Christ. I believe we are going to experience a mighty increase in revelation regarding the Father’s heart and a strong manifestation of the Spirit of Adoption in ways we may have not seen before. I believe that the new revelation that is going to come forth on the Father’s heart is going to result in streams coming closer together, churches partnering more frequently, and significant outpourings of His presence that will touch multiple places at the same time.
Back to The Heart of Worship I saw the Lord commission a giant worship angel and feel like there is going to be a new call back to the heart of worship. I also saw a new release of songs from heaven and in songwriting – so much so that even people who thought they would never write songs, will find themselves capturing and scoring the sounds of Heaven.
I saw strategic teams of musicians being assembled to capture the heart of Heaven for worship. Groups of young musicians were gathering, praying and fasting together — seeking His face. And I saw original songs pouring forth — ones that would awaken a generation and turn the hearts of the youth to the Lord.
I also saw Christian bands really coming forward and making an impact in the secular field in unprecedented ways. I really believe there are going to be open doors for Christian bands to influence the secular music industry in new ways, and there will be opportunities for Christian artists to come forward and inspire the world through social justice — even like Bono. I saw new strategies coming forward, where musicians will affect developing nations and social justice acts.
Even for musicians who have been in a dry spell and unable to write… I saw a new release of songwriting, and I felt like there were songwriters who had felt a pressure building but who were unable to writ the songs that had been building in their hearts. I saw that the pressure that had built up was going to result in songs of celebration, which will bring glory to the Lord. Like a champagne bottle being uncorked… musicians who celebrate His goodness, His Glory and His works will become visible in this hour, and the tension and burden they have been feeling will propel them to worship the Lord throughout the world.
I also feel that it will be significant who wins American Idol in 2010. This explains why there is currently a war over the show. I feel like the Lord wants to declare a message through who wins the show this year.
The Year of Snow I felt like the Lord said this would be the year of snow. I saw strategies falling like snowflakes. The Body of Christ will retrieve keys on how to build the ‘containers’ and ‘railway tracks’ required to effectively facilitate and dispense the glory that is being released over these next 5 years. Blueprints are being downloaded. And just as every snowflake is different, I believe these strategies will be unique and individual — and carry the distinctive of heaven.
I also felt like the Lord said there would be a multiplication of signs and wonders — especially the phenomenon of translation. Astonishing stories will emerge and become a marker of this advanced level of quickening that is coming upon the Body of Christ.
I saw an a tangible increase in the realm of the prophetic. I believe there is going to be an additional level of accuracy coming to the prophetic word — another level of declaring specific, worldwide events that will come to pass. God is going to speak to His servants in unique ways this year. And I believe there will be a new level of confirmation coming to the prophetic word of the Lord.
I saw celebrations, and felt as though the Lord said that this year He wants us to celebrate. I saw balloons filled with dreams and relationships that believers had let go. There are many who trusted the Lord in this last season and laid down dreams, hopes and desires because of obedience to the Lord. I watched the Lord give them back.
I feel like the Lord is saying this will be a ‘Psalms 2 year’. He said, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father. Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession, ask of Me and I will give the nations to you.” We are free to dream with the Lord — to go boldly before His throne and ask for the wildest desires of our hearts. I believe this is a year to move forward and occupy new territory… to turn away from the battles of last year and proceed toward new things. “I look to the hills for where does my help come from it comes from the Lord I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
The year of the Triumph of the Prophets This will be the year of triumph for the prophets. I feel like the Lord is renewing specific promises to His prophets and His faithful ones, and the words He is declaring over them is, “You are not forgotten!” The Lord is reassuring His prophets that He will not forget them… I will not forget your service! I will not forget your pain! I will not forget the elect!
There is an enhanced clarity coming to the prophetic. I saw prophetic voices being released into the governmental realms in new and unique ways. I feel like the Lord is going to bless the work of His servants by opening doors for them to speak to the leaders of the world. I believe that the reward for their service is higher platforms of influence.
Those Who Were Scattered Will be Gathered Many who were scattered in the last season will be gathered in this next season. I really believe we are to pray that the ones the Lord has called by name will come back into the Church. We are to call those who we know that dispersed in the last season to come home. I see something like a ‘drawbridge’ in the spirit and a wide and inviting entrance for these ones to return back into the Church. Hurt, offence and self-pity will be washed off them with each step as they approach closer. And I see them being welcomed with open arms, and quickly established back into the place of full community — where there is unity in loving the Lord, and the exchanging of life.
It Is a Time to Turn I believe the Lord is saying that it is time we leave behind the victories, losses and mistakes from the battles we fought in 2009, and that we turn and set our eyes on the fresh things He has laid up for us. I believe the Lord is saying it is a ‘1 Kings 18:40’ season, where we should turn away from the battles of the past and fall on our faces to seek the Lord for the prophetic words that will end the droughts in our lives. I believe the Lord is saying, “Rain is coming” and we need to turn and ask Him what He is planning to do in our lives, so that we can prepare ourselves. Our resolution (or stability or potency or efficacy) throughout this next season is going to be in knowing and looking toward what God is doing.
(Refer to 1 Kings 18:40-46…)
His rain (refreshing) is coming, and when we turn to the Lord and enquire what He is accomplishing in our lives, our families, our churches, our government and our ministries… then He will show us how to better prepare for the things He is about to do.
