Another Prophetic Word for 2008

Posted on January 29, 2008 by | 2 Comments

By Prophet Bryan Farrar

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

Prophetic Giftings

Posted on January 13, 2008 by | 3 Comments

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?

Posted on January 7, 2008 by | 34 Comments

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.

Become Pregnant

Posted on December 7, 2007 by | 9 Comments

I came across a phrase that I have not considered in quite a while. The phrase was “Become pregnant.” - When we hear this word in the natural, we think of women, for the most part anyway, planning a pregnancy.

While there are natural pregnancies, the Lord can bless us with a spiritual pregnancy.

What? Become pregnant spiritually? Yes! As believers, we can become pregnant in the spirit.

When a couple becomes intimate, pregnancy occurs. For us to become pregnant in the spirit, we must have an intimate relationship with Jesus.

So how does one become pregnant in the spirit? To obtain a spiritual pregnancy is no different that becoming pregnant in the natural. It requires intimacy.

What is your desire? What spiritual gift do you long for? What ministry do you desire to function in? What goal do you have, what revelation do you need? All of your desires can be achieved with intimacy. Once that relationship with the Lord has occurred, then conception naturally follows.

After conception takes place, you may notice some morning sickness and things beginning to change around you. It is here that you protect that seed growing inside your spirit.

In the last months of your spiritual pregnancy, you may wonder why the gift you have prayed for is not yet manifest. This is the process known as spiritual birthing. Do not give up. Hang on to the promise that the Lord has given to you in your secret place.

Personally, I have wanted to quit several times. The birthing process can be painful. Arrows are thrown at you, and your life is in a mess. I have had to come to a place of getting back into the intimacy of the Lord to find out what stage I was at.

Everyone goes through labor, and everyone’s labor pain may be different, but we all go through it.

If you have a firm conviction of what the Lord has placed in you, do not give up. Continue to labor until giving birth. This is a critical phase, as the enemy will try to have you abort your child.

If you have a desire to achieve greater things for the Lord, then continue your journey. If you have yet to birth anything, then become pregnant! Become pregnant with His Spirit His word and your desire. After your firstborn is safe, get pregnant again. There are no limits with God, and it is the Lord’s desire to pour everything into us.

Go ahead, become pregnant.

Are you Called or Chosen?

Posted on October 3, 2007 by | 20 Comments

Matthew 20:16 “So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”(NKJ)

As I was going through my Bible reading, I came across this common verse.   What stood out to me was the last part of this verse, many are called, but few are chosen. I asked myself if there was a difference between the words called and chosen, are they not the same? 

I went to my concordance and what I found surprised me. The word called means that you are invited by God, called to some office and divinely selected and appointed.  Wow, that is an awesome place to be.  Imagine, called to some office!  When I looked up the word chosen, I thought it would read the same, but this is what Strong’s definition is:  Chosen by God, appointed by God to the most exalted office conceivable.  I immediately saw the difference.  Two different functions here.  I saw here a ministry position, and an office position. 

So, if one is called, can they eventually be chosen?  Being prepared for such an exalted position does not come easy. To be called to an office position comes with a price, and not everyone is called. It will take years of preparation and training by the Lord.  You will be in circumstances and situations throughout your life that will cause you to change.  You will move, not fit in; you will even leave the local church and be trained by your Father in the desert.  You will be alone, and all this time questioned if you have missed it. You may be one of those sitting in the church saying, “God, there has to be more than this, more than what I am doing right now. I am not fulfilled or satisfied, I want to learn more. You cannot wake up one morning and say, “Ok, today I stand in office” . It does not work that way.  That is in the Lords plan, not yours.

Consider this verse: Mark 10:40 “but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared. Here James and John asked Jesus for one to sit on His right hand, the other on His left in His glory. Jesus plainly answered; it is not mine to give. When our Father in Heaven appoints someone to office, that person has paid the price. Being placed into office does not come easy, nor does it come overnight.  You must carry within your heart a love for the Bride of Christ, and a death to yourself daily.

Also, consider the 70 disciples Jesus called. Out of those 70, Jesus chose 12 to be His Apostles, after an all night prayer vigil.

Does it matter if you are not called to an office position?   No. What the Lord has placed in you is very important.   What does matter is that you do what the Lord has called you to do with all your might, heart, soul and strength. With the gift the Lord has given you, use it for His glory, to extend His kingdom.  We all have a part to play, and let us do our part for Him.

May you be richly blessed today.

I love You

Posted on September 15, 2007 by | Leave a comment

As I was in prayer last night, I heard the following message the Lord would have me share with you.

Tell my people that I love them, and that I am coming back for a Bride without spot or wrinkle.   My Son has made them without spot or wrinkle by the finished work on Calvary. 

If my Bride will understand that all I require is their heart and love and not works, and for them to focus on Me, that intimacy that they desire will follow.

My Bride, focus on Me, for I am your first love.

Be blessed as you read these words.
