A Year of Blessing

Christmas is around the corner and soon the New Year will appear. It has been a year of blessing but also much warfare and pressure at times. But the Lord has not let us down.

As we approach the festive season and New Year, we would like to share with you some of the things that the Lord has told us personally, both via prophetic words and in His Word. We hope that this will also encourage you to embrace all the good things that He has in store for you. And we believe that as you do this, the year ahead is going to be one filled with much blessing.

The Abundant Life

The spiritual life is often seen as a time of struggle as we wait for the Lord to come and deliver us from all our problems and take us to heaven, where everything is wonderful. But Jesus promised us a life of blessing and abundance and we should already be enjoying some of the benefits of heaven through His presence in our lives.

I want to share with you some prophetic words that the Lord gave to us personally as we approach this year end. Then I will share from the Word, these same things so that we do not depend only on prophetic words.

First I want to share this word, in which the Lord told us to enjoy what He has given us. The same thing applies to you, so this word can be yours also.

Transcript of This Word

It is my plan for you to walk in blessing every day of your life, says the Lord. And indeed, it is my plan to not only give you a life of abundance, but a long life full of abundance. Therefore, do not entertain any of the lies or the thoughts of the enemy when he speaks about stealing from you the good things that I promised you, or where he threatens to bring your life to an end sooner than what it should.

For I will fulfill my days in you, says the Lord, and you shall fulfill your days in me. And they shall be days of blessing and not days of sorrow. Therefore, do not believe the lies that you must struggle to receive these things.

Do not believe the lie that you have to make a great effort to walk in my blessing and to enjoy this life, says the Lord. For everything that I’ve given you already is something for you to enjoy. The very food that you eat and the pleasantness of the taste of a food and of eating it is one of the pleasures that I’ve given you in this life.

And therefore, do not ever feel guilty for entertaining and engaging in that pleasure. For it is the pleasure that I gave you as a blessing, says the Lord. Therefore, when your taste buds taste the wonderful things that are available for you to eat, thank me for this wonderful privilege.

For many are not able to taste or smell anymore, and they cannot enjoy the food. Be thankful for the things that your eyes see, that your ears hear. Be thankful even that your body can feel and sense, though at times you may wish that would stop because of the pains that your body uses to warn you that something is wrong.

Welcome the pain, says the Lord, for pain is telling you that something needs to get fixed. And it’s not telling you that you need to stay that way. It’s telling you to turn to me and to embrace my blessing in your life, that you may walk free of pain and free of discomfort, that your mind might be free to entertain the things that it thinks of, that you may be free to dream of good things to come, that you may be able to even fantasize in your mind some of the good things that you would love to experience, says the Lord.

For I will withhold none of these things from you. And if there are things that you desire to experience and do, I will show you how to experience them. I will enhance your natural physical powers and your natural mental powers, and I will enhance your spiritual powers to be able to discern and understand better that these things are already within you.

But I shall even add further to those, says the Lord, to enhance them even more, to make you enjoy every little thing in life. Therefore, each day as you start the day, do not start it with the cares of everything that has to get done, of all the responsibilities that must be carried out, but greet each day with the excitement of one who has been given new gifts to use, new things to enjoy, and see each day as a fresh opportunity to enjoy the things that I’ve created for you, says the Lord. You do not need to ever feel guilty for starting your day making plans to enjoy the day, because I want your life to be filled with pleasure.

I want your lives to be filled with good things, not with bad things. So don’t start your day weighed down with care of all the hard work that you need to carry out, because I’ve already done the work for you on the cross of Calvary, and I’ve earned your right to enter into every one of these blessings, says the Lord, and you have the right just to reach out and to take them. Don’t let the enemy lie to you and make you think that you don’t have that right, or that you would be selfish to exercise that right.

Even as you come to the end of this day now, think back on the day that has just gone, and think of the time that was available to you to enjoy the day, says the Lord. And as you come to the end of each day, review in your mind the good things that happened today, the good things that were available to you today. Let not your mind dwell on all the negative things that the enemy will bring your way, for these are not my plan for you, and you do not need to accept them, says the Lord.

As you major on the positive, the negatives will begin to pale by comparison, until eventually you will be able to just push them out of the way and ignore them, for they will be of minor consideration. And the time will come when your day is so filled with experiencing my blessings, with experiencing all of the good things that I have for you, that you’ll have no time to dwell on the negative. You’ll have no time to sit and meditate on all the bad things, or even think about the bad things that could happen in the future, for your life is in my hands.

My angels are around you continually, guarding you, and guiding you, and steering you into directions that will bring you to a place where you can live the abundant life that I promised. But until you begin to appreciate the good things I’ve already given you, you’ll never be satisfied, you’ll always want something better. But if you learn to value what I’ve already given you, and enjoy what I’ve already given you, and make the most out of it, that alone will bring enough satisfaction that by the end of the day you can feel happy that you have experienced some good things, and enjoyed your experiences during the day.

And then when you come into my presence, you’ll have the ultimate enjoyment, the ultimate pleasure, says the Lord, and you’ll be able to relax in peace and enjoy. And when you come into my presence, it’ll be a time of celebration, not a time of crying out to me in woe and sorrow, but a time of rejoicing, knowing that I’ve taken care of every little detail, and you have nothing to fear. Therefore, as you lay your head down to sleep now, cast on me any cares that you may have, let me take care of them.

If there are things that need to be arranged in your life, leave me to arrange them, for I shall do it, even while you’re asleep, says the Lord. Just trust me. Do not trust in your own arm of flesh, though I’ve given you fleshly abilities which you can use.

You cannot rely entirely on these, but you must rely on every resource that I’ve given you, and most of your best resources are not in the flesh, but they lie in the spirit. And if you’ll learn to just tap into them, not in a hard work like one has to dig in a mine, but the treasures are lying there in the open for you to just take. You don’t have to dig for them, they’re there.

Just reach out and take them, receive them with gratitude, and just praise me for them and enjoy them, says the Lord, because I made them for you. Until you understand that I want you to have the best life ever, you’ll never fully enjoy this life. Stop believing the lies of the enemy.

Stop being under pressure of obligation and responsibility, for everything that I give you is given freely, says the Lord, and you don’t have to work for it. You simply need to reach out, take it in gratitude and say, thank you, Lord, I’m going to enjoy that now. Hallelujah.

Time For A Break

Here is a word that the Lord gave us specifically as a ministry team. It will give you an idea of what we are doing and where we are headed in the year ahead.

We would love you to be part of the blessing as the Lord causes this ministry to expand and reach many people.

Love and blessings from all of us at GBM.

Here is the transcript of this word

The Lord says, take time out to relax and to be refreshed and to be rejuvenated in spirit, soul and body. For soon as the new doors begin to open before you, your activities are going to increase drastically. And your days are going to be filled with much activity and there will be very little time just to relax and to recoup.

Therefore, use this holiday season now to advantage and do not ever feel guilty about relaxing and taking a break. For I shall continue to work on your behalf and I shall continue to bless, even while you are not active in the ministry online. But even as you take a break, you will not take a break from me, but simply from the work.

Therefore, take time to enjoy this holiday season. Enjoy the foods that are available for you to eat. Enjoy one another and the fellowship that you have with one another.

Take opportunities to do things that are pleasurable, says the Lord. For I desire you to celebrate in advance for the wonderful things that I’m about to bring upon you. And as you’ve recouped and refreshed and you’re ready to face the new year, then the new year will begin with a bang.

You will start the new year with your feet running and you shall be very active. And this activity shall be a good thing, says the Lord. It shall be what you’ve been waiting for for so many years.

It should not be something that you need to be afraid of or that you need to dread or fear in any way. But as you have learned to rest in me and allow your bodies also to recoup, so you will have more than enough energy and more than enough resources both in the natural and in the spiritual to accomplish everything that you will need to do in the year that lies ahead. For this year that lies before you shall accomplish what normally was done in several years in the past.

Therefore expect activity, expect much activity, expect to meet new people expect to interact more with people and be more involved in real live person-to-person ministry as well as behind the camera as you’ve always been doing in the past.

But the journey that you’re going to go on now is not going to be a slow casual journey, but it’s going to be an accelerated journey for you have many goals to reach and you will need to accelerate your activity in order to reach all of those goals.

And as you reach these goals each one will bring a new level of pleasure, a new level of satisfaction, and a new level of enjoyment for you so that it won’t be a case of you being exhausted from all the work, but you’ll get that wonderful sense of accomplishment of knowing that you have made a difference in the lives of others.

You have made a difference in this world and in my kingdom and especially you’ve made a difference for me says the Lord. And I’ll be with you through every step of the way holding your hand, guiding your feet, guiding your lips, and everything that you say and do I will be there and I will arrange for you to come across and to meet people that you haven’t met before.

I shall increase your circle of influence far drastically than what you’ve ever had it before and even when you look back on the past when there were many people coming in your new circle of influence is going to far exceed that says the Lord.

But you will be able to handle it and you will appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to influence more people at one time than you have until now. So take this time to relax and know that I’m with you even in your relaxation. I’m with you in the pleasurable things that you do and I have provided finance for you to even buy things that you desire says the Lord so that you can enjoy and have a pleasurable experience over this holiday season and into the new year and indeed well into the new year.

Then then you shall begin to move in a whole new area in a whole new place in all new circles and finally you will see all the accumulated years of promises that I’ve given to you of preparations that I’ve put you through you’ll see them all coming together into one strand as though there are lots of different threads that will join together into one thick rope and then you will know who you are and you’ll know where you’re going.

And each day you will not get up wondering what to do but you will already know what it is that you shall do for you shall set your head down and aim for the target says the Lord and you shall reach target after target you shall grow you shall exceed in influence you shall exceed in power you shall exceed in ability and you shall rise up far higher than you ever were in the past For this is my plan for you

This is your destiny that I’ve established for you and it shall be. And no demon of hell and no person in this world Is going to stop this for it has been decreed and you yourself have given me the license to work in your lives Therefore the word has gone forth and cannot return void It must accomplish that for which it is sent and it shall do so.

So reject every lie of the enemy when he tries to take away your hope When he tries to make you think that things can go wrong and that The plans can be spoiled because they cannot be spoiled says the Lord. Because I hold them in my Hands and I hold you in my hands And nobody will snatch you out of my hands and nobody will slap snatch my plan out of my hands either.

Therefore rest in me now No longer fear bad consequences But look only for the good. For things will only get better and better as you progress. Certainly the enemy will launch Bigger attacks against you, but you will have grown. You will have grown in your spiritual strength and authority. And you will be able to handle every attack that he throws at you says the Lord.

But you must do your warfare from a position of rest. You must learn to sit Walk and stand as you learned before. Come from the position of being seated on the throne. Of knowing who you are in me. And believing my word first before you believe the words and the lies of the enemy. For you are destined for success And you are destined to win says the Lord.

And as you continue to push forward in my name, With me by your side, you cannot fail. Not even when you in yourself May make mistakes you still cannot fail, because I Already have accounted for those mistakes and made a plan that will Prevent those mistakes from interfering with anything. And with preventing you from reaching that final destination and goal.

A Time For Celebration

Many folks are against times of celebration and giving of gifts as we commonly do over Christmas. But I want to show you that the Lord not only tells us to do this, but that it brings some powerful benefits.

At this time of year many are afraid to enjoy the food and drinks and restrict themselves in the name of spirituality. But this is not at all the way God sees it.

In my next blog I want to share with you that it is not only Scriptural to eat, drink and be merry over this season, but there is actually a strong spiritual benefit to doing so.

Meanwhile, take time out to enjoy one another in the Lord and to enjoy all the blessings that the Lord has provided for you. We are doing this in preparation for a wonderful year of blessing that lies ahead.
