Good Days Ahead?

Throughout the media we are bombarded with two pieces of information, the frustrating and frightening condition of the world economically, socially and politically. The other prominent piece of information is that things will get better and that there is no need for deep or long term concern. These contrasting streams of thought are simply creating a condition of paralysis rooted in worry.

Preparing for the Year Ahead

2009 is almost here and we are almost a full decade into the 21st century. A great deal of hope is placed in this new year. Many are looking for relief from the economic plunge of 2008. Others are putting a great deal of hope in the transition from the current president to the current president elect. There are those who hope that this year is the year of world peace. Some are hoping for the resurgence of prominence and influence of their political party this year. Some are just hoping they can hold it all together for another year. In other words the general hope is that circumstances shift, change or improve in a manner that is beneficial to each one, according to their point of view.

THE WORK OF THE LORD IN THE COMING YEAR

2009 will be the year that lines will be drawn that clearly delineates the Body of Christ from the religion called Christianity. So many will see one or two lines right now but it will become clear that I am hedging in My people on every side, for opposition will come from every side. A holy nation, a kingdom of priest will be as defined as it has ever been in the earth.
