Another Prophetic Word for 2008

29 Jan

By Prophet Bryan Farrar
www.showmeyourglory.com

The year 2008 will be a year of new beginnings for many within the Body of Christ. That for which the Lord has been preparing you for in the years past, will now come to full manifestation in your life. There will be an acceleration of the restoration of the areas in your life that the enemy has eaten and destroyed, and new life will spring forth within you.

There are times of refreshing that are coming from the presence of the Lord. The full manifestation of His presence and Glory will be revealed as never before. The ark of His presence and Glory will be on full display, both in and through us. We will become the bearer of God’s presence and the light of His Glory will be revealed in power and majesty.

The weights and chains of bondage that have held the people of God back are now broken and destroyed. The yoke of bondage is broken, and the freedom to move in the Spirit of the Lord and to accomplish His purpose and desire will be made manifest.

There will be new life springing forth within you, and you will become like fountains in the desert. Where you have been dry and desolate, will now become rivers of living waters springing forth with new and abundant life. Your life will become drink to the thirsty and hope for the weary.

God’s presence will go before you and devour the enemy, and people will see the presence of God in your life. You will become salt in the land and people will become thirsty for what you possess. They will taste the Fruit of the Spirit in your life and will be renewed and revived. They will taste and see the goodness of the Lord and live.

There’s a new dimension and revelation of My Spirit coming to those that are called by My name. They will see into the realm of the supernatural and shall decree miracles, signs and wonders in the earth. A strong confirmation of My word that is spoken and decreed will be manifested in the earth and the marketplace. That which was hidden the structures and man made buildings, will now be openly manifested in the world around you and My Glory will be revealed.

There’s a shifting that is coming. You will no longer walk like you walked in the past, but there will be a new power and authority in your steps. You shall stand and declare the power of the Lord to the circumstances and you will experience that miraculous as the Lord manifests His power and Glory. You shall decree and it shall be done under the anointing of my Spirit. You shall speak to the mountains of opposition, in the spirit, and they shall be cast into the sea.

A new and fresh anointing is coming upon you, to destroy the works of the enemy and reveal the manifested Glory of God in and through your life.

A fresh rain and a healing rain of My Spirit will begin to fall upon you as you seek my presence, and it will increase until a flood of My Spirit covers the earth.

A new dimension of flowing in the Gifts of the Spirit will come upon you as you make yourself available and open to be used by Him. There is coming a circumcision of the heart as God prepares His people to go forth and declare the word of the Lord. Be prepared and be ready as never before, as My Spirit will move upon you in mighty, mighty ways.

There is coming a restoration of the fear of the Lord in the land as God’s people exercise and declare the power authority of the kingdome of God. Signs and wonders will surely confirm My word and the people will come to know that I am the Almighty, the One true and living God. Be prepared to be used as a tool and an instrument of My Glory. For many of you have been through the fire and have been tried as gold, and now you are going to be put on full display.

There is a bridge to cross over from the natural to the supernatural, to a place where there is a mighty river flowing. You will give drink to the thirsty and your life and your words will become a refreshing to the weary. There’s coming supernatural revelation of My word to those that are seeking Me as a deer that panteth after the water brooks. A divine wisdom to see into the realm of the Spirit for answers to complex issues will come upon you as you seek me.

Stand, speak, decree and declare
are the words for 2008
Seek me with your whole heart
and My exploits will be great

Do not fear
what man shall do
Just listen to My Spirit
and I will lead you through

Lift up your hands
and speak My word
and I will accomplish My plans
through all you’ve heard

For My power and anointing
will be great
Do not be anxious
be still and wait

For the manifestation is coming
and will be on full display
For what has taken years
will now be days

Release that which is within you
be not afraid
for the enemy has been defeated
did I not say

Go forth
and declare
and overcome the Lion
and the bear

be still and be amazed
at all I am about to do
it will be through many
and not just a few

Change your Focus

17 Jan

Isaiah 1:18 Come now and let us reason together says the Lord. While experiencing some family problems, and not knowing what to do or where to go, I did what I do best.  I went to the Lord with my journal and began pouring out my heart.

It did not take long to receive the answer, but it was only after I confessed my sin. I had been trying to “fix” the problem all on my own, thinking that I had all the right answers, but to no avail.  It took me a while to realize that what I was doing was getting me and my family nowhere fast.

I realized that something had to change, and the change began with me.  I had been focusing on all the problems and mistakes, and not realizing the blessing that I had right in front of me.I went to Jesus and He reasoned with me! We then applied the technique of seeing only the good, and not the bad or ugly to our situation, and it was as though the anger and hurt had disappeared.

It seemed so simple, yet at the time, it was far from me. A burden had lifted, and the Lord refreshed us all with His love and grace.

Are you in a bind or experiencing problems and don’t know where to turn? Go to the Lord, reason with Him, and He will provide a simple solution for you life.

Prophetic Giftings

13 Jan

1 Corinthians 12:8-10  for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,  to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. (NKJV)

Below is a list of the gifts that are associated with the prophetic ministry.  When the Lord blesses us with gifts, remember it’s for the edifying of His Bride, His Church, and not for own edification.

We are vessels used for God to send out His word into the earth.

Vocal gifts- gifts of speaking in tongues, gift of prophecy and the gift of interpretation.  These three gifts are manifested through the person vocally.

Tongues: The word says that we can speak in divers tongues, or different prayer languages.  Many do not believe in this gift, but for me it is part and parcel of who I am, and for many others as well.

Prophecy:  Speaking Gods word into the earth and into peoples’  lives.  Prophecy is meant to edify and encourage the believer, to draw them closer to the Lord.  Prophecy gives the believer faith and hope to go on.

Interpretation of Tongues: I have been in  meetings where a word will go out in tongues, and the interpretation follows in the native language.  This is another gift which the prophet operates in, interpretation of tongues.

Gifts of Revelation- word of knowledge, word of wisdom and discerning of spirits.

The word of Knowledge:  I remember years back, a person was coming to preach at the church.  The flyer said, “so and so flows in the word of knowledge.”  I asked what that meant, and no one could give me an answer.  The word of knowledge deals with the present or past situation in your life.

The word of wisdom- This has to do with a future orientation.  It tells you what to do in the future, it does not relate to the past at all.

Discerning of spirits:  This gift relates specifically to spirits, which means you have the ability to detect the presence or existence of spirits.  It has nothing to do with the Lord showing you the other person’s sin, that is the gift of the word of knowledge.

Power Gifts-gift of faith, healings and miracles.

Gift of faith:  What is the gift of faith? It is a spontaneous supernatural impartation, which gives a person the ability to believe without a doubt.

Gift of healings:  Here the word healings is plural, it has to do with several healings, such as sickness, fever, headaches and emotional healings. 

Gift of miracles: The gift of miracles in the ability to supercede the natural laws. It is what Jesus used when He turned the water into wine. The gift of miracles is going beyond the natural, not using the natural, but going beyond the natural. Creative miracles, a limb being created out of nothing.  Creative acts – this is the gift of miracles.

Once again, these are the gifts the prophet or any other believer can flow in, but mainly the prophet.  

Be blessed as you continue your growth in Him.

What is an Apostle?

07 Jan

There are many teachings regarding the Apostolic, and I would like to share what I have learned on this popular subject. My desire here is to make this simple and not complicated for all to understand. I would like to share what I have learned about this subject while in ministry training.

Below are some signs to look for in an Apostle. Having these signs in your life does not make you an Apostle, that is for the Lord to decide.

An Apostle is a pioneer. They receive a plan/blueprint from the Lord, much like Moses did and they begin to execute that plan.

An Apostle is set apart and sent by God, unlike missionaries where they are sent by an organization. They receive a direct call from God and execute that plan. Many times he or she is a loner and viewed by many as odd, or off in the wrong path.

Romans 1:1 says Romans 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God(NKJ)

An Apostle leaves the visible church system to receive training from God. We have the example of Jesus, King David, Moses and John the Baptist.

An Apostle builds the church. But what is the church? The church are the people, not a building. They begin by setting a new foundation in the hearts of the people, doing away with old mindsets and teaching them new truths and revelation from the word.

An Apostle can function in all the five fold ministries. They may have a stronger emphasis in two to three areas, but they are able to function in all five at any given moment as the Lord requires.

An Apostle faces death to the flesh constantly and to things that just don’t go right. They learn quickly to die already, and move on.

An Apostle is a servant and receives the call from the womb. We have Jesus as the example.

Galatians 1:15 – 16 says: But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood

An Apostle does not build on other men’s foundation, they receive their own blueprint from the Lord. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Can anyone be an Apostle? The answer is no. I have written an article titled “Are you Called or Chosen” that answers this question. We need to understand that being called as an Apostle carries with it a heavy price.

Can women be Apostles? Yes, because the scripture does not give reference to gender when distributing the gifts of the spirit. The Lord is looking for willing vessels, ready to carry out His plan upon the earth. Colossians 3:11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

An Apostle does not produce new scripture. So run fast from those that say otherwise.

Apostles are called to leadership, they are not followers.
Romans 11:13 Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles I magnify mine office (KJV)

An Apostle will have a face to face relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and excellent communication.

This is just a very small overview of what being an Apostle is about. As the Lord leads, I will add new articles on this subject.
