Overcoming opinion of others for king-priest anointing - 5785

Message from Curt Landry:

 Prophetic Wisdom for 5785:

1. Faith – Faith believes that God can do it. You must believe that your faith in God is sufficient, that He can accomplish what He has set before you. This means the vision, the assignment, your calling, purpose, and identity all require your engagement. You need to invest in your spiritual journey, delve into scripture, keep journals, and ensure that what you are doing is scripturally sound, knowing that God is guiding you. You have to believe that God is asking you to do it.
2. Identity – As a king-priest, you must trust that God can work through you. This year, with the double grace symbolized by the numbers 57 and 85, is a blessing. There is grace for you to succeed. If your vision and purpose are truly from God, there should be a healthy fear that you cannot do it alone. If you think you can accomplish it by yourself, it’s likely not from God, because God often asks us to undertake tasks that require dependence on Him. However, you must trust that He loves you enough to equip you, train you, give you grace, and open doors of preparation, training, vision, and tools to complete the task. The key is to align your mind to believe what God has said.
3. King David’s Perception – Until David perceived that he was king, his actions did not fully align with his destiny. After killing Goliath, the activities in his life began to reflect his destiny. Spiritually, he became a king long before he was recognized as one. When you perceive your new position (king-priest), your goals and purposes must change. If you apply your new king-priest anointing to an old purpose, it will not prosper. You need to seek God for your new purpose and opportunities as you enter into this new season of 5785. Your habits, patterns, and activities must shift to reflect this new assignment. If you’re not constantly renewing your mind, reading, and studying for the new purpose, you won’t achieve it. This is a time of accelerated technology, and as a king-priest in this era, you need to be both spiritually and technologically savvy.

Five Things to Focus on for 5785:

1. New Identity
2. New Vision
3. New Habits
4. New Season – You must have a revelation that the old is behind you, and you are walking into the new. This is a mindset shift. If you seek a fourth-dimensional vision, you need to ask, seek, repent, and eliminate distractions. Fast and pray, and God will provide a vision, usually as a preview of coming attractions along with actionable steps. You must respond to this vision, or else you will remain stuck in the preview stage.
5. New Results – You must anticipate new results without fear, doubt, or hesitation. God rewards the righteous, and you must expect His rewards. Remember, you cannot outgive God. You should also adopt the mindset that God is good, loving, and abundant. Winning souls is expensive, and you need resources to make a difference. Expect the reward, and act in faith, knowing that God rewards the righteous.

Double favour and grace are being released for king-priests. Say, "Lord, I receive it." You need to receive it in your mind, soul, and spirit. As you prepare for Yom Kippur, ask the Lord to burn away past failures and to bury them in the waters of circumcision of the heart. Trust the Lord fully.

The enemy knows that if he can provoke anger or offense in you, he can steal your king-priest anointing. Most of you struggle with anger, and here’s why: God often chooses king-priests, prophets, and apostles who struggle with anger.

Three Things About People Who Get Angry Easily:

1. They have a heart of gold. They feel deeply and are moved when they see people being hurt, which makes them angry. People with anger issues often love intensely, are fiercely loyal, and get frustrated when others are disloyal or flaky.
2. They cut ties with negative people. Negative influences make them angry, so they distance themselves to maintain peace. As a king-priest, you must embrace the scripture’s guidance: “Be angry, but do not sin” (Ephesians 4:26). You must also be cautious with your words, as your words, both good and bad, fuel the atmosphere around you.
3. They are chosen by God for their pure and humanitarian heart. It’s important to stay in your lane because God won’t give you more than your character can handle. He wants to increase your authority and influence, but this requires growth in your character, skills, and values.

The fruit of the Spirit, outlined in Galatians 5, includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and long-suffering. Increase will come gradually as you develop these qualities. If you feel God’s blessings are delayed, take time to reflect on your character and alignment with His values.

Wisdom for King-Priests:

David had to learn honour before he could fully walk in his king-priest calling. When Samuel came to anoint Jesse’s sons, David was overlooked, yet God chose him. Fleshly and religious people often dislike those favoured by God, and you must learn to be at peace with this. David’s success came from how he treated others, even when they rejected or ridiculed him.

Favouritism with man is often a barrier to Godly favour. Walking in Godly favour sometimes means overcoming man’s opposition. As a king-priest, you must guard your identity, trust in God, and overcome the opinions of others. When God chooses you, no earthly opposition can hinder your destiny.

---

King-Priest Warfare:

As David spoke to Goliath, he declared victory in the name of the Lord. Likewise, you must speak to the mountains in your life with faith. It is not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord that battles are won. Declare, “This day, the Lord will deliver me.” Take action and claim the full victory, not just part of it.

---

Prayer:

Father God, in Yeshua’s name, during these 10 days of awe, I ask the Holy Spirit to reveal my triggers. Search me, Lord, and show me where anger, fear, rejection, or abandonment are rooted. I renounce these spirits and declare that 5785 is the year of the righteous. I speak “grace grace” to the mountains in my life. I have a sound mind and a healthy heart in Yeshua’s name. I receive my king-priest anointing according to the order of Melchizedek, and I thank you, Lord, that it is safe within this temple.

 

The Year of the King-Priest Anointing: A Prophetic Call for 5785

Message from Curt Landry

 

As we step into the Jewish year of 5785, a profound shift is unfolding—a king-priest anointing that will empower God's people to take dominion in the cultures and nations around the world. The Bible paints a picture of this transformative calling in 2 Kings 13:19, where Elisha instructs a king to strike the ground with arrows, representing a powerful call to action. This is the season for God’s people, equipped as king-priests, to arise and fulfil their divine assignments across the seven mountains of influence.

 

This year is marked by the number 5785, which prophetically signals a season of grace and divine empowerment. The number "80" signifies "pey," representing the mouth, and "5" speaks of grace. As we step into this new year, God is releasing a double portion of grace—five times over the next twelve months. It is a time for speaking the promises of God with boldness and stepping into new realms of authority as both kings and priests.

 

The King-Priest Identity

The concept of a king-priest traces back to the biblical figure of Melchizedek, who was both a king and a priest, a model of spiritual and earthly leadership. This dual identity is crucial in this season. Many ministers have focused solely on their priestly duties, often becoming reliant on others to fulfil the kingly aspect of their calling. However, God is now anointing individuals to operate in both realms—spiritually and in practical leadership—across sectors such as business, governance, and ministry.

 

To truly step into this anointing, it is vital to put on the full armour of God and shed old mindsets, including pride, religiosity, and the opinions of others. Like David, who overcame the criticisms of his brothers and Saul when he faced Goliath, those stepping into this king-priest role must be free from seeking validation from men. Success and promotion often invite opposition, but those equipped with this anointing will rise above and continue to move forward with God’s favour.

 

Aligning with God’s Purpose

5785 is not just about personal transformation but also about influencing the nations. When Jew and Gentile unite in the Messiah, the glory of God is released in greater measure. This is a call for God’s people to walk in unity, reflecting His glory in their spheres of influence. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, serves as a significant time to cleanse oneself, both spiritually and emotionally, and step into this new season of grace and purpose.

 

The trials of the past year, described as a "Goliath year," have stretched and tested many, but they have also revealed the Davids—those who are anointed for leadership and victory in challenging times. As David grieved the loss of Saul and Jonathan but chose to honour Saul’s descendants, so too must we move past personal grievances, forgive, and press forward into God’s higher calling.

 

The Marketplace Anointing

This king-priest anointing extends into the marketplace, where God is calling His people to influence and lead with supernatural wisdom. With this anointing comes the ability to receive divine strategies—what is described as "fourth-dimensional information"—that will transform industries, businesses, and even cure diseases. This is not merely about survival in a challenging world but about thriving and excelling through divine favour and strategic insight.

 

To receive this grace and favour, one must be willing to sow it. The Hebrew word for grace, "hesed," speaks of a seed sown and a seed received. As you bless others, especially in the marketplace, you will find that the grace of God flows abundantly back into your life.

 

A Season of Perfection and New Beginnings

The number "7" represents perfection and completion, while "8" signifies new beginnings. This year, God is completing what He started in His people, equipping them with the grace to finish well. Those who embrace this call will find themselves stepping into new roles of leadership and influence, marked by excellence and divine favour. It is a time for renewing the mind, transforming one’s identity, and allowing God to lead in every area of life.

 

A Call to Action

As we move into 5785, the Lord is asking: Are you ready to step into this king-priest anointing? Are you prepared to be activated and appointed for a higher calling? The next 10 years will be a season of transformation, and those who say "yes" to this calling will be vessels of change in their communities, nations, and industries.

 

God’s grace is abundant, and His calling is clear. This is the year to rise as king-priests, to reset culture for His Kingdom, and to carry forth the banner of His love and power. In Yeshua’s name, declare your readiness and receive the commissioning for this new season. The world is in need of what God has placed within you—embrace it, and let His grace guide you to the heights He has prepared.

 

In the biblical context, believers are referred to as both kings and priests according to the order of Melchizedek, a dual role of authority and service. This anointing is most evident when working within spheres of influence, such as business, governance, or communities, where tangible outcomes like wealth transfer, healing, and transformation are the evidence of divine deliverables. The presence of God is carried into every situation, bringing light into the “mountain” or sphere in which one is sent.

 

A powerful example of this partnership between divine authority and governance is found in Zechariah 4, where Zerubbabel, the governor, and Zechariah, the prophet, demonstrate the harmonious working of a king-priest anointing. This unity between roles is not about personal ambition but about fulfilling God-given assignments with divine authority and grace. In today’s world, this same anointing calls leaders to stay in their God-assigned lanes and serve with humility, focusing on advancing God's Kingdom rather than personal gain.

 

As we enter the biblical year of 5785, there is a sense that the anointing of leaders will intensify. Many have already experienced unexpected opportunities, a divine setup not by their own strength but through God’s hand. This year is about stepping into new roles with grace and faith, recognizing that the Lord has called us to be seated in places of influence for His purpose. There’s a call to remove limitations, to take the lid off our lives, and embrace the fullness of our calling.

 

The vision of entering the fourth dimension—a space of spiritual insight and divine encounters—is critical for operating in this king-priest anointing. It's here, in daily communion with God, that believers receive guidance, hidden wisdom, and instruction for their assignments. This realm requires a deeper understanding of God's language, spoken in parables and metaphors, requiring us to tune into His Spirit to navigate this season effectively.

 

For those walking in this anointing, the year 5785 also brings a necessary transition out of the challenges of the past year, 5784. Known as a “Goliath year,” it has stretched and tested many, but it has also revealed the Davids—those who will rise in the face of adversity with the strength and wisdom of God. It is now time to dust off the disappointments of the past, forgive, and step into a new identity with renewed strength. This prophetic act of “dusting off” symbolizes leaving behind what has weighed us down and embracing the new opportunities and victories ahead.

 

As we enter this season of Reformation, a reshaping and repositioning are taking place. It is a time of great change, where the king-priest anointing equips believers to lead in both spiritual and practical arenas—be it in ministry, business, or governance. This transformation is rooted in a deeper intimacy with God, who guides His people through challenging times to emerge victorious.

 

In summary, the king-priest anointing is about unity, service, and staying aligned with God’s purpose. It is a call to walk in both spiritual authority and practical leadership, bringing deliverables that reflect God’s kingdom on earth. As we move forward into 5785, let us declare, "I receive my God-given roles by faith and grace, and I am ready to fulfill my calling in Yeshua's name."

  

New Season, New Strategies

Main points

1)      The seasons of God are upon you

2)      The strategies of God are being revealed to you

3)      The Spirit of God is speaking to you

 

A new season is upon us as we have “crossed the line into the new” following Iran’s first-ever direct attack on Israel.

This is a time and season where heaven will release strategies upon strategies to His people. But we must in the posture of receiving (like John).

Knowing this, our heart must be wide open.

Do not be stuck in the past that you cannot think outside the past.

God does new things in new season. So, we need to open our hearts, allow God to be God.

As in the book of Daniel, we will receive insights (not information, not inspiration, both of which you can receive from the world). Insights can only come from God; need the right posture to receive.

New season demands new strategies – pray to the Lord – grant me insights beyond insights. I know what I did in the last season. What must I do or not do in this new season – ask for insights beyond insights. Plead with the Lord for revelation.

When the Lord knows our hearts are wide open, He will give us insights beyond insights.

Insights from God are powerful, profound, permanent.

Not only are you coming out of your old season, but you are also entering into a new season.

You will hear things you’ve never heard before; see things you’ve never seen before; experience things you’ve never experienced before. But your heart must say YES!

The Spirit of God is speaking to you – this is where you make it or break it.

If you are able to receive the messages that a new season is upon you, and new strategies are being revealed to you – that can all happen only if you can hear the voice of the Spirit.

One skill that will make all the difference for you in this new season is the ability to hear the Spirit of God.

The strategies of God cannot be obtained from books or research. They come to us only through revelation (eg Daniel 12; John in Revelation) – the Word of prophecy.

For you to be able to receive, you need to hear the Spirit of God.

Throughout the Bible, we see God revealed different, unique strategies in different circumstances – God never does the same thing again and again vis-à-vis human beings who are creatures of habit.

God does not work by formulas. He works through revelation. Every season is different, every strategy is different – cannot copy and paste.

Don’t copy anything from the past. Receive something new, uniquely for you.

Every one of us has to personally position ourselves to hear from God.

If you want to succeed and soar in the years ahead, you need to receive new strategies from the Lord. The ways of the past no longer work. God has new plans, new strategies; but we need to receive that. Only the Spirit of God can deposit that into you.

**Invest your time, talent and energy in the Presence of God.

This is one investment that guarantees your return (not two-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, but 100-fold). It will never go wrong. You will never regret.

What you receive in the presence of God is precious, powerful, profound and it has the power to permanently change everything – not just something; but everything, all things.

You alone with God. He is the Only One with the information. Go into His presence, welcome His presence, desire His presence, delight yourself in His presence, dedicate yourself in His presence (this has to be a new habit)

If you can do that, you will hear of things, you’ve never heard before. God will reveal strategies upon strategies.

Inquire of the Lord. Not just speaking to God, or asking things from Him.

Inquiring: Lord, what are Your plans for me; what’s Your destiny for me; what do You intend to do with my life; how can my life be a blessing; what do You want me to do with my life now.

When you begin to inquire of the Lord, the Lord will begin to speak to you personally, and when that happens, everything falls into place.

Transitioning to a new season

Notes from Ps Vlad Savchuk's sharing on Oct 25, 2023 [When in Transition Keep in Mind These Truths!]

Salient points

1. Life is made out of seasons (Gen 8v22; Ec. 3v1; Gal 6v9; Ps. 102v13; Ps 30v5; 2 Tim 4v2; Acts 14v17; Dan 2v21)

2. Change of seasons causes stress (Heb 11v8; Jos 3v4; 1 Kings 3v7; Jn 16v33)

3. Before you enter the new season, you must exit the previous season (Isa. 43v18-19;  Phi 3v13; 1Sa 16v1; Jn 15v2)

4. The new season requires a different spirit (Num 14v24; Mt 9v16; Mt 9v17)

5. The new season will change your scene 

6. God does not change when the seasons do (Gen 39v2-3; Gen 39v21-23)

7. New season means new supply (Josh 5v12;  1 Kings 17v7-9)

8. The new season brings new sacrifices (Joshua 3v5)

9. The new season will need a new strategy (Josh 9v14)

10. New season, new stewardship (Lk 16v11; Jn 6v11-12; Jn 6v11-12)

What to do in transition? Keep these 10 truths in mind.

1) Life is made out of seasons

Everything moves in cycles, night and day, life and death. 

The Bible says that our life will have seasons. 

So, it's important not to be discouraged when you hit a difficult season, because this season will not last. 

Similarly, when you hit a good season, remember it will also not last. 

But take heart because sometimes God will take you from a “good” season to a “great” season.

2) Change of seasons causes stress

Being in a transition means you're stepping into a new season, and most likely, you're stepping into something you feel unprepared for. 

Both positive and negative life events can be the sources of stress and affect your health. 

When you experience a change of season, it's natural to come under more stress. There is no such a thing as a stress-free season. Every season will have certain stress, and changing of season increases that stress until you adapt to that season. 

When your seasons change, don't ask God to remove the stress. 

Ask God to increase your strength. 

Not all stress is bad. There is a type of stress that motivates an individual to make positive changes, achieve goals and grow. There is another stress which can be harmful and detrimental.

You cannot experience a shift in your season without God increasing your capacity to live with certain level of stress. 

The first initial stages of your life changing will bring a flood of stress and that's why you need to anchor yourself more and more in God. 

And when you get used to that new change, you won't experience that stress anymore. 

Good times and bad times in life are like two train tracks. They go simultaneously at the same time. 

In other words, your best seasons will have the worst days; and your worst seasons will have the best days. 

So don't postpone your joy to another season. Rejoice in God today. 

Don't postpone your being in God's word for another season. Be in God today. 

Find peace in the storm. Find joy in the trial. Find rest in God when life is challenging and difficult. Renew your strength now. 

Don't wait for the stresses to be dissolved. Ask God to increase your strength.

Transition could be a process of pain because it takes you from one state and condition to another. It could be a hard season, a dark season, because it takes a lot to adjust.

Anytime there is a change, it increases your stress for a short season. That's why in that season, instead of quitting or running away, you should seek God to increase your strength.

3) Before you can enter the new season, you have to exit the previous season

God's principle is always this: you have to leave to cleave. You have to exit to enter. 

God wants to do a new thing. But to do a new thing, God is asking you to forget the former things. You need to leave the things behind where they happened. 

This is one of the challenges for people in transition. They tend to bring bags of the past with them. 

Are you mourning over your past where there were good things that happened there? 

Maybe God did amazing things; maybe somebody walked away from your life; maybe you lost a position, an opportunity; maybe you lost a place that you really thought would be permanent but it wasn't permanent; perhaps you are in the place now where you had some good things that happened in relationships and those things now are no longer; maybe you're a pastor or minister and some people exited your ministry and you're mourning over the loss, you're hoping for them to come back; maybe you're hoping the good old days to come back, instead of looking forward to the future. 

But God is saying we need to stop weeping. 

God says you have grieved long enough for what used to be. Fill your horn with oil - get a fresh vision, get a fresh fire, and go, because the best days are not behind you.

You may feel like the best days are behind you because the best people left your life, or the best times left your life, and you feel like nothing is hopeful and optimistic. 

But the Lord said to Samuel and I believe that this is same thing is for us. 

Our God is not stuck in the past. Our God moves forward in the future. 

Your future is greater than your past. Where you are headed is brighter than where you are coming from. 

And to do that, you have to wipe the tears. You may grieve but that grieving period has to have an end and you have to close that casket and realize what is gone is final. 

We all need necessary endings. 

There are seasons projects and people and relationships that will serve its purpose and they will come to an end. And we have to grieve those endings and let that go, so we can open ourselves up for new beginnings. 

So many people are stuck in this because they're not embracing the new thing because they're holding onto the old thing that had died, that doesn't work anymore or doesn't help anymore. 

God has something new for you, but you can't step into the new if you don't let go of what you're familiar with – that thing is no longer useful for you and no longer going to be a part of your future (the brook dried up). 

You got to move forward, pivot and shift.

When God says don't remember the former things, when God says it's done, move on! Move forward. 

You may feel fearful because you don't know what the future holds. Well, you know someone who holds the future - it's God and He's the one that's asking you to fill your horn with oil. 

Fill yourself again with optimism, faith, trust and vision. 

Don't have memories bigger than your vision.

Don't have your past greater than your future. 

The Lord is transitioning us into a new season. 

Grieve the past, wipe the tears; then fill your horn with oil and go forward because God has provided something in your future that's greater than your past. 

God has something more in your future than what you've seen in the past.

Where you're headed is bigger than where you're coming from. 

Pruning is a painful necessity for those who want to step into a new season of fruitfulness.

Embrace necessary endings in order to receive new beginnings, in Jesus’ name.

Embrace the new, the uncertainty of the new, the fear of the new. 

Navigate endings more proactively, move toward God and the purposes of God even if it's not comfortable.

4) A new season requires a different spirit

You can't step into a new season with an old mindset. 

You can't step into a new season with the wrong spirit or wrong attitude.

New seasons bring a lot of challenges. 

Your attitude and perspective have to be one where you see opportunities in obstacles, blessings in battles, and God's provision in your problems. 

If you don't have that attitude, you cannot rise in your new season. Your new season will squash you.

If your attitude is one of pessimism instead of optimism; fear instead of faith; complaining all the time instead of trusting in God, you will step into a new season and you will never embrace it as God's gift. You will despise it and curse it. 

When Joshua goes to the promised land, he sees breakthroughs. He has a different spirit.

The question is what kind of a spirit do you have? What is the default setting of your attitude? 

Are you a complainer or are you a grateful person? Are you a person that trusts or are you a person that whines? 

Are you a person that sees problems in every blessing? Or are you a person that sees blessings in every problem? 

After interpreting Pharaoh’s dream about 7 years of famine and 7 years of plenty, Joseph finds a solution in the problem and his season switches. He becomes the Prime Minister.

Every person that succeeds in the new season is a problem solver, not problem finder. 

Problems will always be there. But a person that is effective face every obstacle. 

They trust in God; they have an optimistic attitude. They find a solution with God's help, with faith, and trusting Jesus. 

These are people who thrive, and God's favor seems to follow them. They seem to be blessed. 

In reality, they have a different spirit; a different attitude and perspective on life. They don't see cup half empty they see it half full. 

It’s not about positive thinking. It’s an attitude of faith because new season creates new set of challenges you have never faced before. 

If you complain, whine, and always see problems, you will be like the 10 spies out of the 12. They died like grasshoppers, not because God wasn't faithful, it's because they were fearful. 

New season requires a new spirit. 

That means you have to be an optimist, see every problem as an opportunity. See every closed door as an invitation; every sickness as an opportunity for God to heal; every problem as an opportunity for God to intervene. 

You don't get rewarded for finding problems in life. You get rewarded for solving them. You go to a higher level not because you discover a problem but for solving it. 

David did not become a giant killer until a giant was in front of him. Giants expose true giant killers. These problems are meant to elevate you when you solve them. 

Joseph did not become a Prime Minister because he won a lottery. It's because he solved a riddle and then he solved the problem. He spent his whole life solving problems.

Being idle and being scared of problems, challenges and limitations will not promote you. 

You may not know but God knows everything. He will give you wisdom and insights. He will guide you, and lead you.

So don't be a person who always says no to every new opportunity just because you see an obstacle there. Be a person that is a learner, not a complainer.

Gideon didn't know how to fight, Moses didn't know how to lead a nation, Noah didn't know how to build an ark.  Solomon didn't know how to fill in the shoes of the one of the greatest kings that Israel had. Joshua didn't know how to lead a nation into a new land. The apostles didn't know how to lead the new movement that will stand in opposition to the Jewish faith. 

But God was with them, and they had a different spirit. 

With God, all things are possible. Every Mountain is a mole hill. 

With God, we will conquer. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. You can do it through Jesus. 

Become learners instead of being lazy. Learn new skill, stretch yourself and allow God to stretch your faith like a rubber band. Like a rubber band, faith is useless if it's not stretched.

God's way to promotion is to give you a problem to solve. 

A different attitude, a different spirit sees a problem as an opportunity. 

Have new faith, and experience the new ways of God. You will God's breakthrough and God's blessing.

Now declare this:

• I will see opportunities in obstacles.

• I will see blessings in my battles. 

• I will have a new spirit and new attitude when I face new challenges through the strength of God.

You have to have a new mindset; and it has to be more faith-based than fear-based. 

You have to have a mindset of God is going to do a miracle instead of I'm going to die here. 

You have to have a mindset where a mindset of abundance.

God is going to move. Faith is really looking into your problem and expecting God to show up. Fear is looking at your problem and expecting the devil to show up.

We must have faith looking into the future. 

5) New season will change your scene 

Recognize your season, and adjust your life to this new season accordingly - dress accordingly, budget accordingly, and manage your time accordingly.

Your goal is not to conform to the season but to adapt to the season.

There is a difference between adapting and conforming. 

Conformity is a negative quality of blending in, becoming average, refusing to stand out or capitalize on one's uniqueness, while adaptability is a positive quality of being able to sense the shift in the wind direction and proactively adjust one's course to take advantage of that wind shift.

While conformity is a weakness based on fear of rejection, adaptability is a strength based upon confidence in oneself and in one's own judgment and abilities.

There are certain adjustments you have to embrace when you enter into a new season. 

If you do not make proper adjustments when you enter into a new season, you will feel wrong. It just will not be right and it will add unnecessary stress to your life.

6) God does not change when your season does

God does not leave you when your seasons change. God doesn't love you less.

In the case of Joseph, God didn't make his life easier but he made him more successful even in the difficult seasons.

Your enemies can take your code but they cannot take your anointing. They can ruin your reputation but they cannot destroy your character. They can take you from your family but they cannot take you from your God.

Stay attached to God, not to your seasons. Fall in love with God, not with your season.

When in the good times, praise God; in the hard times, pray to God; but do not leave the Lord just because your seasons change - whether good or bad.

Promises to remember:

• Through the valley of the shadow of death God is with me.

• Though you walk through the fire, it won't burn you.

• Though you walk through the flood and water, it won't drown you because the Lord is with you.

• The Lord says: I Am with you always to the end of the age.

• The Bible says He will never leave us and never forsake us – in good times and bad times.

Put your roots in the soil of God's promise and God's word.

Remember God does not change when your season changes. He doesn't abandon us when our seasons change. He doesn't leave us when we go through the valley.

People may talk about you, judge you based on your season (when it's a fruitful season, they will say you're blessed, but when it's a valley season, they will say you're cursed) but God doesn't leave you.

7) New season means new supply

When God removes the provision of “manna”, it means He is preparing you for “milk and honey” or prosperity.

When God removes the “just enough”, it means He's positioning you for the “more than enough”. 

One of the ways you know that your season is shifting is when God changes the supply in how He provides for you. God is always the Source, but He changes the resource. 

When you experience a new season, your Source doesn't change, but your resource changes. 

Eg God provided for Elijah from the brook. But then the brook dried up, but the Source didn't dry up. The resource dried up and God told Elijah to go to a widow for He will feed him from there.

When your season shifts, and your brook dries up, it's time to pray and pivot.

Trust in the Source when your resource dries up. Trust that God will find a different resource - it could be a different job, career, opportunity or idea.

God is your Supply. Jehovah Jireh - the Lord who provides. 

God is El Shaddai - more than enough. 

God is Jehovah Rohi - He is your Shepherd. He will lead you to green pastures. 

He will provide for you.

Seek first the kingdom of God and everything else shall be added to you. 

God has a “resource” but He's always the source. Don't look at your job as your source.

When your season changes, God will switch the resource, which could be your job or position.

The Lord wants to prepare each and every one of us for a new season. He's a good Shepherd. He's a Good Father. 

This is the gospel of the Kingdom - us believing God for all of our needs, and looking to God as our Source. We don't trust God only for salvation, but we trust God for everything. 

The Lord is our provider, He's a Good Father and every good perfect gift comes from the Father of Light with whom there is no shadow of turning.

Trusting in God as our “Source” doesn't mean we don't work. It means we work, pray and pivot.

We worship and we work hard. But we trust in God to bring a new resource.

Sometimes that happens when your brook dries up; sometimes that season shifts when the business that you were doing tanked and you have to pivot to another business and do something else; sometimes you have to receive a word from God to stay at this particular thing and wait for things to turn around; and sometimes you have to pivot completely and jump to something else completely different.

8) New season also brings new sacrifice 

Today's sacrifice is tomorrow's supernatural.

Israel walks into the promised land and the first thing God asked of them is to be circumcised. 

They walk into a new season, manna stops. They walk into a new season, cutting begins. They walk into a new season and they're finally about to conquer the first city in the promised land, Jericho. 

New season is about putting God first. It's acknowledging where your blessings come from, acknowledging who is your Source.

Put God first in your finances. 

Put God first in your day by spending time in His word because new season requires new sacrifice. 

New season requires new systems. God comes first.

Sacrifice shifts a season because by putting God first, He will begin to move mightily on your behalf, all other things the Bible says will be added unto you as God is now involved in your affairs. 

We don't sacrifice to manipulate God for personal gain. A sacrifice is a thankful response for His blessings. It's affected by the forgiveness of our sins and restored fellowship with God and our neighbour. 

We don't sacrifice to earn a blessing. We sacrifice because we acknowledge where our blessings come from. It comes from God.

For some people, to put God first in a day is a sacrifice; for some people to put God first in the month through fasting is a sacrifice; for all of us, to put God first in our finances is a sacrifice.

Give toward expanding of God's kingdom. When you do that, you you're planting seeds and that's how sometimes the shift happens in our seasons.

A drastic shift in the season is usually preceded by a sacrifice, and usually it is preceded by a financial sacrifice. A sacrifice has a way of shifting your heart towards the things of God, in God's direction because one of the biggest competitors for our heart is our money. Sometimes the Lord will go straight for the heart and he wants your heart to be anchored in Him so you acknowledge where your Source comes from.

Sometimes what you have in your hand is not enough to meet your need, but what you have in your hand is actually your “seed”. If you're a farmer, you’d know you shouldn't eat the seed, but you should plant them.

9) New season will require new strategy 

We can't live on yesterday's success or dwell on yesterday's defeats.

When you enter into a new season, you live by God's principles and be led by God's presence.

When Joshua entered the promised land, God wanted him to depend on God for every decision. Trust in Him and seek His advice.

Joshua did that but in some occasions he just kind of relied on yesterday's victory and yesterday's success and he actually found himself in a defeat because he didn't ask God. He did not allow the Lord's presence/peace/spirit to guide him. 

You may say common sense decisions don't need God's opinion. But the truth is, we need God for everything. It's good to pray for everything; to thank God in everything.

Don't let your success be your strategy.

Instead, let the Holy Spirit be your strategy. We must rely on the Holy Spirit and lean on the Lord.

New strategy will come from God. You have to develop your own intimacy with God and have the Lord guide your steps every single day.

10) New season new stewardship

It's always easier to obtain something than to maintain it.

Half of the Book of Joshua is about Israel defeating the enemy; and then there's the other half of the Book of Joshua is about dividing the spoil. 

So, it's not just about obtaining, it's also about managing; it's not just about subduing, it's also about stewarding; it's not just about a miracle, it's also about management - how you manage that miracle.

When you enter into a new season and God is blessing you that you experiences a new thing, you will need to learn a new way of stewarding what you have because God wants to take you from “glory to glory” from “faith to faith”.

He wants to take you from fruit to more fruit to much fruit and to “fruit that remains”.

Sometimes people lose the season of blessing they don't steward it.

If you have a good season and you handle it poorly, it will turn into a bad season.

If you have a bad season and you steward it well, it will turn into a good season. 

You must learn to steward the good season: if God brings a breakthrough, and you become arrogant and irresponsible, and you start to become lazy with your devotions and don't have time for God and family, and pick up bad habits, calamity will hit. This is not God's will for your life.

When you steward your blessings right, the Lord multiplies them because it glorifies His name.

It spreads His influence and goodness on this earth. Our God is a good God, and He wants to bless people that steward things well.

Think of yourself as a steward of every blessing from God, NOT an owner of it.

You are bought with the Blood of Jesus Christ. That means you don't belong to yourself. You belong to Jesus. 

Stewardship is really a management of what belongs to somebody else. Stewardship is a calling; not an option.

We have to constantly walk in integrity, purity and righteousness.

Sometimes it's the foolish decisions that were made in good times that cause our eventual downfall.

So, when things are good, when you're in a good season, prioritise God, prioritise your sacrifice, discipline and living with integrity. Be attached to God, not to your good season or to a bad season.

Remember God is the “Source”. Stay close to Him in your seasons - God will take you from good to great. 

Eg God took Joseph's seven-year good season, which Joseph stewarded well, to seven years of famine, which Joseph also stewarded really well, to becoming a prime minister in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. Joseph rose to the top through a difficult time for the benefit of many (he helped others through the famine).

===

Pray for the Holy Spirit to bring that wisdom and that shift that we need in our life so that we can embrace those changes.

Dear Holy Spirit, You're the one that changes seasons.

In Daniel, it says that God changes seasons. 

Lord, You're the one that brings a set time of favor. You shift things in our life. You give us grace and in due season, we reap. 

Lord, Your word says that as long as earth exists, there will be reaping and sowing, there will be night and day, there will be cold and warm, winter and summer. 

Lord, I pray for those who are in between seasons, for those who are stepping into a new season, for those who are in transition right now, that You will give them wisdom help them to deal with the stress that comes with the those changes. 

Help them navigate with wisdom, help them to steward the resources, problems and challenges that they're experiencing. 

Help them have a different attitude of gratitude; attitude of seeing, believing and trusting that God will show up in their situation. 

Help us not to get addicted to good times and help us not to get distracted, discouraged or deeply disappointed by difficult times.

Lord, I ask that You would help us make sacrifices in our seasons, to make new systems and new habits of always putting You first in our life. 

Jesus, for those who are stuck in a season that is painful, in the season that is dark, in the season that is hopeless, would you lead them, would you pull them out of the miry clay, would you set their feet upon the rock, would you help them to be faithful in between the seasons, would you help them to walk in the valley, swim in the flood and go through whatever they need to go through, with You.

Help them not to postpone walking with You to a different time but to walk with You now, in Jesus’ name. 

I break off every spirit of death; break off every spirit of disappointment, depression, anxiety, fear of the unknown, fear of future, chronic fear, in Jesus’ name. 

Lord Jesus, let Your presence come right now. May the winds of change come; may they blow in our back; may we experience God's acceleration; may we experience God's favor. 

I pray for those that are fasting, Lord, may You open Your favor. 

May the set time of favor begin to come in their career, in their ministry, in their job and in their family, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

10 scriptures to wage war with

Notes from Ps Jeremiah Johnson's sharing on Sept 26, 2023 [How to wage war with Scriptures)

God is drawing His people in this hour who feel the tension the urgency of the hour - the global shaking economically and politically.

This is not an hour to fear; it's not even an hour to get discouraged. But there is this sense of “it's time to get sober, it's time to get alert; it's time to engage in the battle”.

We don't war according to the flesh; our battle is not against flesh and blood. Our battles are against principalities and powers/rulers in the dark world (Ephesians 6). 

We need to pray God’s Word, not out of our emotions or our own desires. Pull these 10 scriptures out and meditate on them and memorise them and go to war with them in Jesus’ name.

10 scriptures to pray with

1) Luke 10:19

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Jesus says behold I've given you authority over the demonic realm. Do you believe that?

2) 2 Thessalonians 3:3 

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 

Sometimes when satan is raging and things are crumbling all around us, it's easy to believe that God has forgotten about us and that we're not important.

But this verse reminds us that God is faithful and He will strengthen us and protect us from the evil one.

3) 1 Corinthians 15:57 

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let's thank God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ. We're not fighting for victory; we're fighting from the place of victory and our victory comes through the cross and the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

4) Romans 8:37 

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Sometimes our mind wars against us, and we want to magnify our problems or our diagnosis; but life and power and strength come from the Word of God.

5) 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

How we war, full of faith, and how we war, full of agreement with God's Word, is we don't war in the flesh and we recognise that we have to take captive thoughts of unbelief, thoughts of doubt. Do not pray out of fear, unbelief or worry. 

We need to be praying the word of God. We need to take captive every thought; we need to be praying and dismantling demonic ideologies and thoughts that set themselves up against the knowledge of God.

6) Matthew 18:18-19 

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Come away from praying your fears; come away from praying out of unbelief and doubt; and come into agreement with the power that's in the word of God. Let it wash your mind; let it renew your thoughts.

That's what God is doing - he's right there in the midst of us wanting to answer our prayers. We

just come into agreement in Jesus’ name for victory.

7) Deuteronomy 28:7 

The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

Some of us are in the midst of a really trying time. They might come out against us one way, but they're going to flee before us seven ways.

8) Deuteronomy 3:22 

You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.

If you are feeling harassed or feeling intimidated, or bullied, do not fear them. Do not fear

the report for the Lord your God is the One fighting for you.

9) Joshua 1:9 

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

God is with us. Sometimes the devil tries to lie, deceive and sow seeds of fear and doubt and unbelief. We've got to take captive those thoughts and make them obedient to Jesus.

Choose not to live in fear. If you believe in the lies, you will empower the liar.

Refuse to empower demonic activity in your life.

How you’re going to dismantle it is to refute and cut out the lies of the enemies; and root yourself in the Word of God.

10) 2 Chronicles 20:15 

And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

God is for you. God is with you.

Random notes - fresh bridal anointing

 Anointing and consecration go hand in hand. To be anointed is to be dedicated to the Lord.

It has been prophesied that God wants to pour forth a fresh bridal anointing upon His church. 

The church is called to represent God on earth.

We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

The bridal anointing will break the yolk of slavery in craving for the pleasures of the world (distractions, busyness, money).

It will enable us to make our priorities right with God.

It will make us willing to live a surrendered life. 

It will strengthen us to do His will.

It will purify us and circumcise our heart.

How does the Lord treat His bride?

1) Rev 19:7 - Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife has made herself ready
2) Ezekiel 47:1-6 - Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side. 3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.

How to prepare to receive the bridal anointing?
Build stronger altar; go deep in walk with Him

Bridal anointing will bring:
1) growth
2) hope, refreshment, security
3) breakthroughs
4) love for God

When you are in the right position, God will provide all that is necessary to fulfil your call, and lead you to your prophetic destination.

Nothing in your life is wasted. He will all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called to His purpose.

Involve God in whatever plans you have, and you'' be more peaceful and joyful.

God doesn't want us to strife, He wants us to thrive. The quicker we surrender, the quicker the Lord will bless us.

Work from rest >>> involve God in your plan >>> know that He cares for you >>> He is a personal God

Rosh Hashana 5784 - a life-changing time

Salient points:

• It will be a life-changing time, a season of spiritual awakening.
• 5784 represents a year of the "opening of doors of opportunity".
• The Lord is going to supernaturally recreate a stronger foundational value system in our souls, minds and spirits. 
• Have expectations to be the head and not the tail.
• Pay attention to the Lord's commands; and follow and obey His instructions with joy.

This Rosh Hashana 5784 will be a life-changing season.

Deuteronomy 28:13

And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

The Lord said He shall make you the head and not the tail but the qualification is this: you need to pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God, follow His instructions and do it with great joy and liberty.

Rosh Hashanah is a time to reset your mind, will and emotions (your soul).

Psalm 103:1

Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Tell the Lord - I want my soul to actually have expectations, identity and peace of being the head and not the tail.

New Jewish year 5784 starts on September 15, 2023.

With “4”, the year represents the opening of doors of opportunity for the new year to come. 

It's also a time of new beginnings. 

It’s a time to reset.

Internal thoughts = the things that you think. It's important to renew your mind by the washing of the Word. Our thoughts are connected to our mind, our will and emotions.

Your internal thoughts are a bridge to your external reality which is the things you say.

The reason this has been so important particularly in the last three years is because we're living in the 5780s. 

The number 80 is the number “p-e-y” in Hebrew, which means the mouth (decade of the mouth).

That's why it's so important to understand about declarations, decrees, proclamations, what we say, how we say…

Prophetic word for September 15th 2023 Rosh Hashanah

5 = Grace

7 = Perfection

8 = New beginning

4 = Door

Anytime you see “perfection” you also see Kings and Priests. We are born again, perfected into God's image and He anoints us to be Kings and Priests according to the order of Melchizedek.

5+7+8+4 = 24 

“24” is part of “12”. “12” is a part of the establishment of God's government.

“24” is actually the number for the priesthood. 

The Lord said divide “24” by “4” (from 5784), and you’ll get “6”, which is the number of man.

“24” is associated with priesthood since it is composed of a multiple of “12”. It takes some of the “12”’s meaning which is God's power, authority as well as perfect foundation.

One of the things the Lord's going to do in this season is He is going to supernaturally recreate a stronger foundational value system in our souls and our minds and in our spirit.

“24” is also connected to deep and true worship. 

Prayer as we enter 5-7-8-4: 

Father God, 

I need “grace”.

Lord, I need “perfection” as a king and a priest through my King and Priest, Christ Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah. 

Lord, thank You for New Beginnings.

Lord, may You recreate in our mouths through our hearts a year of “grace” and “perfection” in Messiah for “new beginnings” to walk through and speak to new doors of opportunity for the new era.

Lord, may this Rosh Hashanah we decree and declare that we are the head and not the tail.

Lord, may You circumcise our hearts in the immersion of the water separating us from the doubt, separating us from the unbelief.

Lord, we thank you for this opportunity that's coming up.

Declaration:

We're going to be the head and not the tail. 

We're going to follow His Commandments in liberty and grace. 

We're going to be empowered in this special year of the “dalit” (door).

May our “p-e-y” (mouth) be filled with God's glory and may all the portals of our mind breathe and say what God tells us to say. 

And so we will have that new beginnings of “supernatural life”.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
