Waiting to release the arrow of His prophetic word for 2017.\u00a0\u00a0 Well, I am happy to say, He has helped me hit the mark and convey what I am hearing the Holy Spirit say about 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Refresh:\u00a0 Push the refresh button to review the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>#20:\u00a0 Redemption:\u00a0 Know and remember what you were redeemed from (sin and death) and what you were redeemed for (life and power from the Holy Spirit).<\/p>\n<p>2014:\u00a0 Redemptive Salvation &amp; Deliverance (#14):\u00a0 Salvation, in Hebrew, the word \u2018help\u2019 means salvation.\u00a0 Deliverance: being rescued \u2026. \u2018a way in or out\u2019 where there hasn&#8217;t been a way.<\/p>\n<p>2015:\u00a0 Redemptive Rest (#15):\u00a0 God\u2019s Rest.\u00a0 Heaven is God\u2019s throne, and the earth is His footstool \u2026 a place for the Lord to rest.\u00a0 He has made all things, but what He is looking for is a home &#8211; the heart of man to rest!\u00a0 God says He needs us for a place of rest for Himself.\u00a0 How can that be?\u00a0 All He is asking is for those with a humble and contrite spirit and trembles at His Word\u00a0 (Isaiah 66).\u00a0 Then the Holy Spirit knocks on that heart and says \u2026. \u201cI have a need &#8211; so and so needs encouragement\u2019 \u2026. \u2018your neighbor is in the hospital\u2019 \u2026 \u2018that elderly person is lonely\u2019 \u2026 \u2018that little child needs tender care\u2019 \u2026 etc.\u00a0 That is a place of Rest for the Lord; Redemptive Rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2016:\u00a0 Redemptive Love (#16 God\u2019s Love):<br \/>\n&#8211; 7 Years of Plenty:\u00a0 Building up the Storehouse with souls<br \/>\n&#8211; Be established in His Word; an enlarged heart for greater mercy and compassion (Ps. 119)<br \/>\n&#8211; A sure peg and a small measure of revival: (Ezra 9)<br \/>\n&#8211; Born for such a time<\/p>\n<p>2017: Redemptive Victory (#17)<br \/>\nAs for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield for all who trust Him.\u201d (Ps. 18:30\/NKJV).<br \/>\nTrust &#8211; rely on, lean on, confident in<br \/>\nThe Lord gave me 3 specific words for 2017 that align with Rev. 12:11\u00a0 \u201cAnd they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.\u201d:<br \/>\n1) Transformation:\u00a0 \u201cThe blood\u201d &#8211; repent and turn the other way<br \/>\n2) Reformation:\u00a0 \u201cTestimony\u201d &#8211; becoming more like Him; His image (and His image is mercy and compassion as described in Exodus 34.\u00a0 (2017: 2+0+1+7=10); #10 is testimony.<br \/>\n3) Activation: \u201cnot loving life unto death\u201d &#8211; position yourself so that God can activate you; use you for His purposes.\u00a0 Isaiah 61 &#8211; liberty to the captives (those in bondage by choice \/ behaviors); opening the prison to those who are bound (those who have built a wall around their heart from hurt, rejection, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The Lord said \u201cRefresh\u201d because we need to realize the last few years are a continuation for 2017, and beyond.\u00a0 More specifically, in January of 2016, the Lord told me I had 7 years to complete the mandate He has giving me.\u00a0 That mandate being to stand at the eastern gate of every nation\u2019s capitol (parliament); pray and repent (scriptures from Matthew 23:2-33 &amp; 2 Timothy 3:2-5).\u00a0 Then, leave on the parliament grounds a little red ribbon trimmed with gold (representing blood and glory), a dime (#10 for testimony), and a little heart symbol (representing His heart).\u00a0 And, as I am writing this, I see the handiwork of the Master\u2019s hand unfold even more clearly as this prophetic act and these symbols are a reflection of Revelation 12:11: blood, testimony, not loving life unto death.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing this same prayer assignment in all 50 states in America, the Lord told me when I touch the doors of each capitol building, it will be like an antibody of the Holy Spirit; Like a body with all its members connected together (the world).\u00a0 Thus, when I touch the door of one capitol, it is as if I was touching all the previous ones I\u2019ve ever been to and they too, are receiving the prayers and declarations once again.\u00a0 And I must say, I can feel the anointing stronger and stronger with each new country.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, there are 6 years left for this assignment to be completed.\u00a0 To date, we have been to about 55 countries, not to mention, other prayer targets the Lord has been concerned with that are not necessarily countries, but nonetheless, are strategic in His purposes (like Nova Scotia, Statue of Liberty, The Vatican, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Storehouse:\u00a0 The Lord gave me some meticulous details and scriptures about the Storehouse:<br \/>\n&#8211; Fill up the Storehouse with souls \u2026 He is all about souls!\u00a0 Not one be lost (2 Peter 3:9)<br \/>\n&#8211; Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (2 Tim. 4:1-5\/NKJV)<br \/>\n&#8211; 4 Keys that work together for evangelism: 1) Acts of Kindness breaks the fallow ground of the heart (Ro. 2:4b); 2) Seeding of the Word (Luke 8:11); 3) Watering of the seed (1 Cor. 3:6); 4) Harvest ((2 Peter 3:9; Matt. 9: 37-38).<br \/>\n&#8211; Regardless if you do acts of kindness, seed, water, and \/ or harvest, it is accredited to your account.\u00a0 You get same reward whether you labor in the field in the morning or are hired for one hour at the end of the day; you get the same wage (Matt. 20).<br \/>\n&#8211; And when that soul does likewise, that is also accredited to your account.\u00a0 How can that be?\u00a0 The Lord said because it is one Storehouse.<\/p>\n<p>Covenant Promise:\u00a0 The Word is full of God\u2019s promises!\u00a0 Well, He has made a covenant promise to me when the mandate of the countries is fulfilled.\u00a0 Last summer (June 2016), I inquired of the Lord because the last stretch of countries we went to was amazingly smooth.\u00a0 He said the difference was \u201cpassion and desire\u201d;\u00a0 The intercessors have taken hold of MY mandate and are praying with passion and desire.<\/p>\n<p>The Lord was also very specific in this:\u00a0 He said He has a covenant promise for all who are sincere to partner in prayer and what I (meaning the Lord) am doing in these countries.\u00a0\u00a0 He said promises:<br \/>\nFavor:! Favor in your relationships, favor where doors were once shut or doors that were not able to be shut, favor with finances, favor with those who have had closed ears \/ hearts to My Word; favor with your health.\u00a0 All you have to do is ASK; Ask for My favor in My Son\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>One question I was frequently asked when I started releasing the Word for 2016 was:\u00a0 \u201cWhat happens after the 7 years?\u00a0 Is it the end?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is what the Lord told me:\u00a0 No one knows the day nor hour of my return, but depending on what the saints do, it might be the end of life as they know it!<\/p>\n<p>God is making a covenant promise with us and we have a part in it!\u00a0 Yes, 2017 is Redemptive Victory but remember this:\u00a0 A victory is the result of a battle!\u00a0 Listen saints, now is not the time to retreat in our prayers and petitions before the Father.\u00a0 We have a responsibility to press in and pray because our battle is at hand!\u00a0 But remember, just ask for His Favor!<\/p>\n<p>As believers, we are continually being sharpened if we are in pursuit of the way of the Lord, verses our \u2018comfortable\u2019 way.\u00a0 He sharpens us like arrows and holds us close in His quiver.\u00a0 In His timing, He pulls us from His quiver and and aims for the mark; that next milestone in life; that next step or season to strengthen us for His purposes; That place He calls \u2018His resting place\u2019 \u2026 that place where we are activated for His glory!<\/p>\n<p>In closing, the Lord reminded me that only He can activate us, but we have to position ourselves.\u00a0 Are you trusting Him (relying on, leaning on, confident in)?\u00a0 Are you willing to be sharpened in all circumstances?\u00a0 Do you remember what you are redeemed from and what you are redeemed for?\u00a0 Are you ready and willing to build up His Storehouse with what He is concerned about?\u00a0 Want His Favor?\u00a0 Partner with Him and just ask for His favor, in Jesus\u2019 name!\u00a0 You were truly born for such a time!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly\u201d (NKJV).<\/p>\n<p>Blessings and love to all as we walk in His Redemptive Victory;
