Prophetic Word for 2008...Sound The Trumpet!

As I was seeking the Lord, at the end of 2007, I heard the Spirit of the Lord saying that the number eight (8) is symbolic of “New Beginning”. God is telling you today to get things in order, so he can give you a “New Beginning” in 2008.

God wants us to examine our hearts and make whatever changes are necessary, so we can have a great 2008. 1 Peter 4:17, Hosea 10:12 says "Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you."  If you enter into 2008 with unconfessed sins, burdens, unforgiveness and disobedience, you will carry this into the New Year and not have a new beginning in ’08. 1 John 1:9 reads, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  Receive the promise of Psalm 65:11: “You crown the year with Your goodness And Your paths drip with abundance.” Revelation 21:5 says, “He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

2008 is a year of Intense Spiritual Warfare in the Heavenlies because it is a Presidential Election Year, but also because there is a tremendous shaking coming to the church and the nations of this world (see Heb. 12:26). God is preparing His glorious church. It says in Ephesians 5:26-27 that “He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (cf. 1 Pet. 5:1-4, 1 Cor. 5:1-13; and 6: 1-20).

Saudi Arabia and Dubai will make a new alliance with America.  America is being sold off to anyone who will buy.  This is laying the foundation for a one-world order, one-world government, a one-world bank, and a one-world church. The month of January is a very critical time for America as our President is initiating a land-for-peace treaty in Jerusalem. Read Zech 12:2-3: He wants to divide Jerusalem. Whenever we have tried this, America has been hit with some of the worst natural disasters.  I believe there will be more severe tornados, storms, earthquakes, flooding and bizarre weather patterns throughout America.

We must pray for God to release His mercy on this nation, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This year shall be filled with uncertainty and world chaos.  There will be sudden removal of world leaders in business and politics because of corruption and the unexpected deaths of influential and wealthy people. Multitudes in church will cry out for a move of God and for a great awakening (cf. Luke 18:7-8; Psalms 130:1-2; Luke 10:2).  Hear the words in Isaiah 60: 1-3: "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the people, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you will become a Rhema to many of God’s saints.” God’s remnant (cf. Jer 3:14) will realize there is a paradigm shift in the spirit realm, to push back the powers of Satan, as new realms of glory will be released in the church and marketplace for those who are willing to contend for an outpouring of his spirit. Matthew 11:12 says, “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.”  There will be such a hunger and thirst for people to gather 24/7 for prayer, praise and worship (cf. Mark 11:17, John 4:23-24). There will be a sound of worship and praise that has never been heard before throughout the world.  The Presence of God will be so strong, it will bring great liberty, deliverance, healings, rejoicing, freedom, joy and repentance. The altars will be filled with God’s people asking for forgiveness and mercy, to be washed afresh in His Blood.  The words in 2 Chronicles 7:14 read, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” The words will bring cleansing, a call for purity, consecration and sanctification.  Many will see the vision that Isaiah had in Isaiah 6:3: “And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!” It will become real to them.

There will be gatherings in the streets, businesses and churches where people will take shifts to cry out to God.  He will release new authority, power, great signs, wonders and miracles with unprecedented manifestations (cf. Eph. 3:20-21; 1 Cor. 2:9). The overcoming, uncompromised, message of God’s kingdom shall be preached by those who have spent years in the secret place, the refiner’s fire and who have encountered the fourth Man, Christ the King.  The testimonies of miracle healings, deliverance and joy will be heard throughout the world.  This will convict the leaders of the seeker-sensitive church movement, the compromising church, false teachers, teaching false doctrines, etc., to realize their message is not making overcoming victorious disciples but leading people astray (cf. Rom 16:18, Rev. chaps 2, 3; 3:16). The Lord is calling those who will hear, to purge their hearts and make the right adjustments in their lives, in order to line up with God’s Word and His Spirit. This year God will bring many denominations into a place of unity as He breaks down walls of division (Ephesians 2:19-22).  The five-fold ministry will come together and establish doctrine and un-compromising Prophets will arise with a fresh word from heaven. The ministry of the Evangelist, with fresh fire and boldness, will once again be invited back into the church and bring in the end time harvest.  The falling away of the church will continue as wolves in sheep’s clothing will gather the apostate church (cf. 1 Tim 4:1-5; 2 Tim 3:1-9). The Lord is dealing with false prophets and shepherds and He is going to clean house (cf. John 2:14-16; Mark 11:17). Read Ezekiel 13; 34:1-10; Zechariah 11:16-17; John 10:1-18; Matt 24:24; and 1 Peter 5:1-4.  We must have great discernment in the spirit realm so we won’t be deceived (cf. Mark 4:24). The words in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 will be the battle cry for the church in '08: “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of humana] wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."  1 Corinthian 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”  The message of the cross and the four gospels shall be on the lips of God’s leaders. Paul in Romans 1:16 proclaims, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek like never before.”  Multitudes around the world will declare that they had a vision of Christ and the agony, pain, and the price that He paid on the cross, like it was shown in the film, The Passion of the Christ.  Many unsaved people will be saved as God’s Spirit draws them.

2008 is a year of God’s Saints to declare and decree the things that they desire, that have been given them by the spirit, that will advance God’s kingdom and provide provisions for their life. Ezekiel 12: 28 states, “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.”  The Lord desires to see His promises come to pass for his saints.  The LORD says in Isaiah 55: 11-12, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.  For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." This will be a year for the beginning of the transfer of wealth to begin (cf. Ecc. 2:26, Ps. 1:1-3; Prov. 13:22).  As cries of recession, loss of jobs, businesses moving to other countries and national debt come forth, many will be taken over by fear but God said “I have not given you fear, but love, power and a sound mind, you have the mind of Christ. God said, in His Word in Isaiah: 45:3, “I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places.”  The Lord will speak to his people through dreams and visions and give them new direction to prosper: Read Job 33:15-16 “In a dream, in a vision of the night.” “When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction.”

God’s faithful stewards, people after God’s own heart, will see great blessings (cf. Acts 13:32; 1 Cor. 2:9). The words in Haggai 1:5 ring true, “Consider your ways.” Note verse 6, “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” The above verses should make many Christians aware that they have not been faithful givers financially and that’s why they aren’t being blessed. The Lord will move on His Saints to trust Him to give to his work; then they will see a financial breakthrough.  The Spirit of Generosity will once again come to the church and God will restore what the enemy has stolen and bless you beyond your wildest dreams. If we purge our heart of greed, covetousness, pride, envy and materialism (cf. 2 Tim 2:21) and realize that there is a purpose for our prosperity, God will once again bless us.  It says, in Deuteronomy 8:18, “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

God will give us witty inventions and new venues for prosperity; we must spend time in the secret place to hear His plans (cf. Prov 21:5).  In Genesis 42:1-3 Joseph’s brothers realized that there was prosperity in Egypt.  They left their land of lack and went to where there was prosperity.  This year God is opening up new opportunities to prosper. Believe God for new ways to prosper you, God is Jehovah-Jireh.  The Lord will release divine protection and vindicate you as he promises us in Luke 18:1-8. In 2008, God will bring swift judgment on the adversaries of God’s people (cf. Ezek. 9:4). A year of divine protection, intervention, favor, faith and prosperity.  He is telling us not to compromise; we must be a people of integrity and Godly character.  The three Hebrew children stood up for God and because they stood up for him, he showed up for them in the time of affliction. The fourth man in the furnace of fire, Christ the King. Daniel 3:17 – 18, 25.

The murders in the Colorado church is a wakeup call to church leaders to position spiritual watchman in the sanctuary that have the gift of discerning of spirits (cf. Ezek. 33:1-11). Church’s that have rejected deliverance ministry will now embrace it. Many will allow the Holy Spirit and his nine gifts to have free reign once again. 

The Lord is really dealing with the state of  California because it has such a great impact on the world (cf. 1 Pet. 4:17; 1 Cor. 5:1-13).  We are seeing devastations from fires, winds, flooding and now the economy because of the spirit of idolatry, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.  What happens in California affects the whole world.  We will see, however, a great revival, greater than any previous revival in history, in California.

The fear of the Lord will be restored to the church, Acts 5:11. God is raising up a new breed of people (cf. Rom 8:19), new voices in Church, in Politics, and in the media that will stand for righteousness, morality and the kingdom of God not man.  In these times of darkness (cf. Isa. 60:1-3), we will see a remnant  that will come forth, that have plowed up the fallow ground of their hearts (cf. Hosea 10:12) hearkened to the voice of the  Holy Spirit, purged themselves of all dishonorable things (cf. 2 Tim 2:20-22) that will fast the fast of Isaiah 58:6-14, that will speak the uncompromised WORD of GOD with signs and wonders following (cf. Mark 16:16-20) that will receive the latter rain and outpouring of the Spirit (cf. Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:16-21) will walk in the miraculous like Peter in Acts 5:15-16, will usher in revival, and reap the harvest spoken of in Isaiah 58:14: “the heritage of Jacob” or saved souls for Christ’s kingdom!  Dear brothers and sisters, be a son of Issacar, and understand and know this is the season and time to fast and pray for America so that heaven will invade the earth with a great spiritual awakening.  Now we have a window of opportunity for the Church to repent with it’s whole heart Jer 3:10-15, 22 and return to it’s first love, Rev 2:4.  We are in the season for the church to return to holiness, righteousness, integrity, evangelism, faith, the fear of the Lord, and unity in the Spirit.  We must turn from here is my plan Lord bless it, to what is your will Lord. We must return to “thy will be done in earth even as it is in heaven.”  We must be like Jesus, “never the less not my will but your will be one.”  We must walk Romans 12:1-2 and Philippians 3:10-13. Deep must call out unto the deep.  We must have the Father’s heart.  Then we will see a river of Love flow.  If not we will see our country reap the whirlwind.  If we do, then we will see the revival that I have spoken of in this letter.  Ephesians 3:20-21: "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or  think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (also cf. Rom. 8:37). Let the Triumphant Church arise! (2 Cor. 2:14)
