I trust that you have prayed and sought the Lord to reveal exactly what He wants to show you in the next few minutes.Is your life abounding with blessings, or does it seem as if you and your loved ones are repeatedly harassed by chaos or crisis for no apparent reason? If so, I encourage you to keep reading, for I believe the following teaching contains important Scriptural principles and promises that can set you free and change your life forever!During a recent This Is Your Day program, Dr. Todd Coontz had a powerful word for the body of Christ, and I want to share the seven key points from his message about what God wants to do for you in 2014.“In spite of all that is going on with the world’s economic system,” Todd began, “your future doesn't depend on the world’s circumstances and standards. It is time for you to rise up and claim your godly inheritance! The best days for believers are just ahead!”
Seven Prophetic Promises
With that in mind, let me briefly share these seven prophetic promises for 2014:
# 1: There will be an abundance of more.
We have to be willing to receive from God. God wants to give more if we will increase our capacity to receive. He wants to lift our faith level!One point to remember: God doesn’t always pour out a financial harvest first. Many times He showers us with ideas and breakthroughs that turn into a financial harvest. Our friend Oral Roberts called these “concepts, insights, and ideas.” Your entire life can change literally overnight as God pours out His wisdom on you. Those who tap into this outpouring of increased opportunities will truly be revolutionized during the coming months, and I want you to be one of those people!
# 2: This will be a year of growth and expansion.
God wants to enlarge your territory. God’s marching orders have never been, nor will they ever be, to stand still. He wants you to expand, to tear down strongholds. In fact, Todd said that this will be a year for me to preach as I've never preached before—to enlarge and expand.The difference between your today and your tomorrow is your information. And that information comes to us from God through an act of faith. Every one of these seven prophetic promises for 2014 requires an act of faith. You see, the only way to please God is through acts of faith. God is not moved by your needs but by your faith. So when you act in faith, that action moves the hand of God. That applies to receiving wisdom, knowledge, and information from God, then acting on it to see great multiplication in your life!
# 3: God will be your unlimited Source of supply.
It’s time to readjust and realign your faith-life! There is a major difference between the world’s prosperity message and the Gospel’s prosperity message. The message of the world is greed: Get all you can get! But the message of the Gospel is knowing the will of God and using His abundant overflow to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.There are 2,250 Scriptures dealing with money, and the Bible focuses much time on being a good steward over your money. How you handle your finances determines how you handle your life, because “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).The difference between a nonbeliever and a believer is greed versus giving. Refocus your faith and begin to trust and believe God.See God as your unlimited Source of supply! Your faith will take you as far as you will believe. And it is up to you and me to take the limits off. Nothing is impossible with God.
# 4: God will silence your adversaries.
Many have been through terrible struggles during the past year or two. Perhaps you are still involved in major struggles right now—relationships, finances, roadblocks, job loss, illness. God is ready to turn things around for you as you follow Him in faith this year—just as He did for Moses, David, and others throughout the Bible.I believe that this will be a year when God will silence your enemies. You will be vindicated from all that has been said against you. He will give you the plan, the strategy. He’s going to fight for you and scatter your enemies. He will renew broken relationships. This is going to be the year when God is going to fight your battles for you!There will always be battles, but God will help you defeat your enemies! I’m ready for that, aren’t you?
# 5: This will be a year of unusual miracles.
Your breakthrough is coming! The Bible tells us, “This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:16-17).We are seeing this happening all around the world. What better vision than the Great Commission: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). People are responding like never before as we share the life-changing and miracle-working Gospel everywhere we go. These are truly prophetic days! And God has so much more for us to do in 2014!That is why I was so excited when Todd taught on this key point. He said, “As people plant their seed in 2014, it will be a year of triple-favor harvests!” What you sowed last year will come to a harvest this year. God is going to reschedule a new season for your seed. He’s going to bring new life into that dormant seed you planted before!
# 6: This will be a year of great financial anointing.
There is a distinct anointing for finances. This anointing is when God anoints your ears, your mind, your decision-making, and your wisdom.This will be a year when you will have supernatural guidance greater than ever, especially in the area of finances. What a wonderful promise He gives us: “I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel” (Isaiah 45:3).The Lord wants to lead you to riches in secret places. He knows where the opportunities are. He knows where the ideas and concepts are. If you will learn to listen to Him, and then respond through your faith, He will show you what you should do, the roads you should take, and the doors you should walk through. He is ready to intensify His leading through 2014!You will experience a constant anointing that will abide! In fact, it is clear that God wants believers to live debt-free. There will be uncommon millionaires birthed so we can bring in the end-time harvest of souls. The most expensive part is not preparing the soil or planting—it’s harvesting. So we need the most support now to bring in the end-time harvest!
# 7: This will be a year of total recovery and restoration.
The year 2014 will be a year of total recovery and restoration, but it will be more. Like God gave Job double for his trouble (Job 42:10), this will be more than recovery and restoration.Promotion is getting ready to happen throughout the body of Christ. And this will be the year when influential people enter your life. Get ready, for promotion is knocking on your door. You are going to be promoted. When others are missing opportunities, you will have greater opportunities because you are a child of God who is willing to act in faith. You are in covenant with the King of kings and the Lord of lords! God is going to authorize you to have divine recovery and restoration and increase!And I especially want to reemphasize the importance of divine increase. God wants to promote His children. It will be astounding to see what happens next! And this is going to require a swift act of faith.There is such a strong anointing right now for those who receive these prophetic promises and act upon them! And I believe this anointing belongs to you, as a child of God! It is your covenant right to have it every day.Giving releases the treasures of heaven on your life and triggers your triple-favor anointing for prosperity. Greater levels of giving release an even more abundant outpouring..
May your weekend be full of adventure and cheer and may the start of next week be filled with divine abundance in Jesus name.Amen.
