Prophetic Word For 2016 From Isaiah 52:7

A word for us all in 2016:

Is. 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!”

7 Observations:

1. Mountains - often refer to nations – also churches and centers of God’s presence. God is focusing on some specific nations for this year. Strategic meetings will set the stage for revival in certain nations that will touch every continent. People who have never traveled are going to be thrust out in short-term missions and see great effectiveness.

2. Feet - God is giving us increased authority - dominion in the places we tread this year.

"Feet" regel – journey, to move

These feet are beautiful on the mountains: "beautiful" (Strongs 4998) na’ah – this word is only used 3 times in the Bible to describe: holiness Ps. 93:5; cheeks Song 1:10; feet Is. 52:7

3. Good news...God is going to use us in greater measure to proclaim the power of His Gospel this year.

4. Peace - this not only means peace as we know it...but the prosperity and blessing that accompanies the Gospel. Increased blessing and prosperity for 2016.

5. Good news of good - we are the bearers of good news - happy news - positive messages proclaimed into the hearts of His people this year.

6. Publishes salvation - unusual circumstances coming this year - people you have been praying for over many years will come to salvation in 2016! Friends, relatives, neighbors and work mates. Expect significant breakthroughs!

7. You will say to Zion: "Your God reigns!" "Zion" represents the worshipers - those who love His presence. This is the mountain where David established his tabernacle of worship for all nations. The Lord wants to rule in the hearts of His worshipers in greater measure this year - some territories to conquer once and for all. He is giving you renewed authority to speak into these areas and be a champion for champions!

Zion Thunder Drum

Harvey Woods helped me to make this Zion Thunder Drum. We made it based on Micah 4. This is a prophetic sound calling for worshipers to arise from all nations and come to Zion. There are 2 tones - 25 feet and 15 feet of PVC pipe. If you have suggestions to help us improve the instrument...please let me know. Make sure you listen with speakers or good headphones, and you will hear the great sound:

Continually 2

Yesterday we were looking at some of the things we are called on to do continually: HERE. These are 7 things that the Lord does continually

• The Lord continually preserves His people with His kindness and truth – Ps. 40:11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

• The Lord has goodness that endures forever – Ps. 52:1 The goodness of God endures continually.

• The Lord is our continual refuge – Ps. 71:3 Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

• The Lord continually blesses us out of Zion – the place of praise – Ps. 128:5 May the Lord continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live.

• The Lord continually (continuously) thinks about the walls of Jerusalem and He see our names written on His hands – and His love for us is continuous! He is reminded of His covenantal love whenever He looks at our names written on his hands. Is. 49:16 I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.
 

• The Lord guides us continually. He also refreshed us during drought, strengthens us, waters us and makes us like a spring of unfailing water – Is. 58:11 The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

• The Lord Jesus is our High Priest forever (here Melchizedek is compared to Jesus – Heb. 7:3 …but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

Thank You Father for:

Your continual presence

Your kindness and truth

Your goodness

Your protection and refuge

Your blessings

Your thoughts about all Your people

Your guidance

Your covering as our High Priest

You are perfect

7 Things - New Names God Gives To The Church

Isaiah 60 talks about the glory that will be seen on God's people. We look with great expectation for that day. As we walk in holiness we will become part of His wonderful plan to cover the earth with glory and the light of God.

Here are the new names that God has for us as we become more and more like Him:

• Is. 60:14 "...And they shall call you The City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel."
We are the "city on a hill" that Jesus spoke of - the city named Zion, which is the people and place of His presence forever.

• Is. 61:3 "...That they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."
We are called to be strong, fruitful trees that have roots of righteousness. Once again, the Lord is glorified because of our planting in, and life of righteousness.

• Is. 61:6 "But you shall be named the priests of the Lord. They shall call you the servants of our God"
One of the most crucial messages for the Church in these days is that she needs to take her position in the nations as one who is a servant-priest. We are the ministers of God's glory and grace. Don't wait for some famous "leader" to come to your city and release God's glory - His glory flows through His servant-priests who have His heart for the lost and broken.

• Is. 62:4 "You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married."
These are terms of endearment form the Lord to His Church. He loves us with a passion. He delights in us and has chosen us as His favored ones - to me married to Him forever.

• Is. 62:12 "And they shall call them, The Holy People..."
Our beauty and glory is in our holiness. As Robert Jamieson says: "Holiness is glory internal; glory is holiness shining forth outwardly."

• Is.62:12 "And they shall be called...The Redeemed of the Lord."
There is no glory without redemption. The is the starting point for all that God does in, ad through us.

• Is. 62:12 "...and you shall be called Sought Out, a City Not Forsaken."
The Father has sought us out - He has run after us and called us as His followers. We are not forsaken, but the cherished people of our perfect Father.
