You can walk in divine health and healing!

The Lord says: 

"The enemy has been attempting to steal, kill, and destroy My people's health recently - be it spiritual, emotional, mental, or physical health. The enemy has been trying to make some of My people think that divine health is not possible nowadays. Take authority and bind all these words or works from the enemy! For I AM WHO I AM. I am still the YHWH Rapha. I am still your Healing and your Healer. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. Look to Me and look to what I have done for you on the cross! Look to My Word and stay focused on all the promises in My Word!" 

There is an open heaven right now! I pray this anointing for healing be released upon you right now, wherever you are, and in whatever area of your life that needs healing - spirit, soul, body! 

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever! The same Jesus those days written in the 4 Gospels and in the Book of Acts, i.e. the same Jesus who walked on earth those days, is the same Jesus today! And He is still the Lord who heals you and delivers you today! 

Whatever the enemy or the devil has said otherwise that healing is not possible nowadays, bind it in Jesus' name! Because that's a lie! Take authority now! Bind all those words from the realm of darkness! And right now, declare over your life and your home that heaven is now open, and there is a release of divine health and healing upon your life and your home. Amen! 

Acts 4:7-10 says, 'And when they had set them in the midst (i.e. when they had set Peter and John in the midst), these elders and rulers asked, "By what power or by what name have you done this?" Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole."' 

The word 'whole' here was translated in English from this word 'sozo' in Greek. This word 'sozo' can mean 'to make whole in spirit, soul, and body', or 'to make complete in spirit, soul, and body'. So you see, it's not just spirit and soul. It's also physical body that the Lord wants to make you whole, make you well, and make you complete. Not just that. This word 'sozo' can also mean 'to save and deliver from destruction', 'to rescue from danger or trouble', 'to protect and preserve from sufferings', or 'to keep safe and sound'. 

So you see, this word 'sozo' has a broad meaning. In short, to make whole, to make complete, to save, to deliver, to rescue, to protect, to preserve, to keep safe, and to keep sound. And the good news is this 'sozo' of the Lord is still here for you today! This 'sozo' of the Lord is being released to you right now, if you need any healing - spirit, soul, body!

Therefore, let not the enemy or the devil make you think otherwise! Let not the enemy or the devil talk you out of this! Always remember to take God at His Word. The Word of God is the Word of Life! John 6:63 says so!

From this juncture, we are going to focus on the Gospel of Mark on healing and deliverance, because the Lord has spoken specifically this is the time to read and re-read the Gospel of Mark. 

So, let's read from Mark 1:40-42, 'Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched this leper, and He said to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed." As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.' 

The Lord your God is a compassionate God. He sees what you've been going through. He sees all your sufferings. And He wants to set you free! You see, leprosy was an incurable disease those days. And if Jesus could heal leprosy those days, there's nothing that Jesus could not heal. Yes, even diseases that are deemed to be impossible to be cured. To God, all things are possible! Is there anything too hard for Him? So, as I read all these Scripture verses to you, I hope you are being encouraged, and I hope you will continue to look to Him. Don't give up hope. I pray your faith is going to arise as you hear and read the Word of God. And I pray you are going to believe and receive, walking in your divine health and receiving your divine healing. Amen!

I go now to Mark 3:10-11, 'For Jesus healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him. And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of God."' 

Whatever evil spirit, or whatever power of the enemy, and no matter how strong you think they are, they are defeated when they are faced with Jesus. They have to bow down. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord! 

Mark 3:14-15 says, 'Then Jesus appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.' 

Here, Jesus appointed His disciples to be the extension of His healing hands, and to cast out demons. The word 'power' here is 'exousia' in Greek. It can mean any of these: 'ability, privilege, force, capacity, freedom, authority, liberty, right, strength, or mastery (over the power of darkness or the devil).' 

The Lord has given you this power ('exousia') as well! Receive by faith! It is not by your ability, but by His ability working in you and through you that sees healing happening! 

Declare also that you are set free from the bondage or curse of the enemy! You have freedom right now! You have liberty right now! In fact, you have the authority from on high right now! Not only that. You also have this strength that comes from the Lord! You even have this right and privilege that the Lord has given to you - that whatever you bind, it shall be bound; and whatever you loose, it shall be loosed! It means you can bind (render nullified) all the works of darkness that come against you; and you can release and set free those who are bound. Amen! That's what the Lord has spoken here in His Word! Let's take Him at His Word! 

I continue with Mark 6:56, 'Wherever Jesus entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.' 

This word 'well' here is the same word 'sozo' in Greek. Yes, in Jesus' name, declare that the Lord is here to 'sozo' you right now - spirit, soul, body! 

What are the areas in your life that need His divine touch of healing right now? Present all these before Him. Let Him 'sozo' you and make you well! Be healed and stay healed! In Jesus' name. Amen!

Taking a fresh new step forward!

The Lord says this is the time to take a fresh new step forward! Yes, decide to consciously step forward in your life, and walk in all the blessings that the Lord has meant for you this year! 

Indeed, this is a year to walk in your God-given destiny! This is a year for a fresh new start in your life! This is a year to advance and move forward in your life! You see, each of us has a specific and unique God-given destiny and a God-given path in life. Walk in it! Focus on it! 

Today, we are going to talk about the blessings of the Lord; that comes from the Lord, and not from man. 

In 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, Paul wrote, 'For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us - by me, Silvanus and Timothy - was not yes and no, but in Him was yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.' 

The word 'promises' here is 'epaggelia' in Greek. It means 'a divine assurance of good'. In other words, an assurance that the Lord will know how to bring His promises to pass. And one of His promises for your life is you walking in the blessings of the Lord! 

Numbers 23:19 says, 'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?' 

See the words here: 'Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?' Remember just now, we were talking about 'a divine assurance of good'. It means a divine assurance that the Lord is good to you and the Lord will keep all His promises for your life! But you've got to believe in it! Believing, you shall receive. Amen! 

Here in Numbers chapter 23, the background is that there was this person called Balak (the king of Moab at that time), and Balak wanted to hire a prophet (or rather, a diviner) to curse Israel, so that they (the Israelites) could be defeated in a battle. So, Balak asked Balaam to curse Israel. Yet Balaam (or in fact, any other diviner) could not curse Israel. You know why? Because God had not cursed them! You see, no one could 'bribe' God to curse Israel! 

Now, it is the same for you today. You are the spiritual Israel! No one (and no work of darkness) can put a curse on you, if the Lord has spoken that you are blessed! That's how powerful your God is! And that's why it is so important today to consciously decide to walk in all of God's blessings. You are blessed! And that's what the Lord is saying to you right now: You are blessed! 

So, how to walk in such blessings? Keep your focus on the Lord, and not focus on anyone (or the enemy) that tries to discourage you! Be led and be taught by the Holy Spirit who knows you better than anyone else on earth! Listen to His guidance, heed His guidance, and even heed His correction along the way! And you'll be sure to walk in the fullness of what the Lord has in store for you on this earth! 

Some people may say, "Don't talk about blessings too much!" But you see, your Abba Father in heaven is like a good parent! Will a good parent on earth not want to see their children being blessed? No way! Every good parent will want to see their children doing well in their life, walking in the blessings, and not walking into trouble, sorrows, lack, or damnation! Now, the same it is with how your Abba Father in heaven sees you! He is a good Father! He is a good God! He wants to see you blessed! I say it one more time: He wants to see you blessed! Make no mistake about this, and let no one talk you out of this!

Therefore, beloved, I declare that in His time, He will make all things beautiful for you! You are going to see with your own eyes the promises of God coming to pass in your life! If God has spoken, God will see to it that it shall come to pass, as long as you keep your focus on Him, yield to Him, and obey His instructions! 

At this point of time, we want to declare the blessings of the Lord that you can receive from Deuteronomy chapter 28. 

Deuteronomy 28:1 says, 'Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.' 

How do you apply this into your context? How do you apply this into your personal life? It simply means no matter what 'shaking', 'storm' or 'turbulence' that may happen around you in this world, you are high above all these! You are like an eagle soaring above all these! And this is one of the blessings that the Lord wants you to believe and receive!

Deuteronomy 28:2 says, 'And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God...' 

The word 'blessings' here in Hebrew is 'berawkaw', and it can mean 'presents, gifts, liberty, peace, prosperity, and every form of good that comes from the Lord'. So, let us be ready to receive all these blessings this year! We are going to declare these, and we are going to receive these. Amen!

Deuteronomy 28:3-6 says, 'Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground, and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle, and the offspring of your flocks. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.' 

Whether you are living in a city, or whether you are living at the countryside; and whether you are at home, or whether you are outside your home; the Lord is with you! And of course, these blessings bring together peace and favor of the Lord as well; wherever the Lord leads you, and whatever the Lord puts in your heart to do! 

Deuteronomy 28:7 says, '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.' 

The number 'seven' in Hebrew can mean 'perfect, perfectly'. In other words, the enemies have got to flee from you, and there's no other choice for them! 

Deuteronomy 28:8 says, 'The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.' 

How do you apply this in your context? Wherever the Lord puts you, or whichever land the Lord puts you in each time and season, the Lord will know how to command His blessings on you! 

The word 'command' here is 'tsawvaw' in Hebrew, and it can mean 'to appoint, to ordain, to set in order, to put things into place, or to send a messenger to cause it to happen'. You see, the Lord can even send an angel to cause things to happen for you! And of course the Lord can also use human beings - at the right time, at the right place - even in ways that you have never expected! 

Deuteronomy 28:9-10 says, 'The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord (YHWH), and they shall be afraid of you.' 

It means they will not want to play a fool with you, and they will not dare to play a fool with you! They know if they 'touch' you, they are 'touching' the Lord! Why? Because the presence of the Lord is with you, and the fear of the Lord (i.e. the reverence of the Lord) surrounds you! 

Deuteronomy 28:11-12 says, 'The Lord will grant you plenty of goods, the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in this season. The Lord will bless all the works of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.' 

This is in the context of an agricultural society those days. But this can apply in your context too, whatever the Lord puts in your heart to do on earth! The Lord your God is more than enough for you, and He will know how to provide well for you! He will know how to open the right doors for you, and He will know how to set up divine appointments for you! In fact, you are so blessed that you shall lend, but you shall not borrow!

Deuteronomy 28:13-14 says, '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. So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.'

Indeed, the Lord your God is more than enough for you! He is your El Shaddai, the Mighty God! And you do not need to look to the right or to the left, or to go after other gods to serve them!

As an apostolic people, we break new grounds. We open the way. We may be in the world, but we are not of the world. We walk in the heavenly ways. We walk in the heavenly resources. And that's how we can set an example to the people around us in this world. And they will say, "Hey, this person is so different! This person is so different from the worldly ways!" 

So, with all these declarations, and with all these verses from the Scripture that we have declared today, believe it, receive it, and consciously decide to walk in it this year! You shall see it coming to pass! You shall see it coming to reality in your life! 

As for me and my family, we truly believe in all that we have declared today! And we believe that we are going to walk into more and more of the goodness and the blessings of the Lord! We want to believe the same for you. Amen! 

Let us pray: "O Lord God, You have spoken today that this is the time to step forward and walk in all the blessings that You want to give to us. We want to heed Your words today. We do not want to look to the left or to the right, but we want to focus on You. Because You are the Source of true blessings, real blessings, heavenly blessings, that no one else on this earth can give to us. As a Good Father in heaven, it is Your will that we walk in all these blessings! Because You want the very best for each and every one of us on this earth. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

Watch this if you are feeling worthless or defeated!

What does the Lord say for this time?

The Lord has not forgotten you! The Lord has a destiny for you! And He wants you to fulfill that destiny, no matter what has happened in your past, or no matter how terrible your past may be!

We are going to look at the life and ministry of someone called Jephthah in the Book of Judges. Here, we'll see that the Lord remembered him and has a destiny for him, despite his broken past or upbringing.

Judges 11:1-2 (NKJV) says, 'Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah. Gilead's wife bore sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to Jephthah, "You shall have no inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."'

You see over here that Jephthah was being driven out from his own household. Why? Simply because his half-brothers didn't accept him due to him being a son of a harlot. In other words, he was considered by his half-brothers as illegitimate child. They were judging Jephthah based on his background, even though this wasn't even his fault! 

But I tell you what, beloved, the Lord your God doesn't judge you based on all these! The Lord your God understands everything that you have gone through. He understands your background. He understands whatever trauma, trouble, or shame that you may have gone through in your past. And He is here to deliver you and set you free! 

So today is a day of deliverance for you! Today is a day you are being set free! 

By the way, interestingly, the name 'Jephthah', which is 'Yif-tawkh' in Hebrew, means 'He will open, or He will release.' This shows that the Lord your God can open a way for you in spite of your broken past, whatever your past may be. Maybe it's a broken family. Maybe it's a broken childhood. Maybe rejection from people. Maybe it's a past mistake or mistakes that you have made. Maybe it's a past regret. Whatever it may be, none of these will be able to hinder the Lord from opening a way for your life, and to show you His kindness and goodness! 

So, will you surrender your situation before the Lord? Whatever your situation may be! Nothing is impossible to Him. He can turn things around for you. Remember this today: The Lord has not forgotten you! The Lord remembers you! And the Lord is here to deliver you, set you free, and open a way for you! Now, that's what 'Jephthah' means! 

Back to the meaning of 'Jephthah' here. Not only will the Lord open a way for you, the Lord will also release you and set you free! This name 'Jephthah' also shows that the Lord your God can release you from your past bondage, past shame, or even past trauma in your life! He can give you a new lease of life! And He can give you the victory and breakthrough in your life! Your part is to look to Him and trust in Him. 

There's nothing that is accidental in the Bible. Everything that's written in the Bible, there's a reason that God puts it there. And over here, you see that 'Jephthah' means 'He will open, or He will release.' Now it is the same with you. He will open a way for you. He will release you and set you free from your past, whatever your past may be. And this is your God! This is a God who is kind and who is good to you. You've got to remember this always. You've got to believe, and you shall receive, that the Lord is kind, and the Lord is good to you. Amen! 

And you can see here in Judges 11:3 (NKJV) that says, 'Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob.' Now, interestingly, the word 'Tob' means 'Good'. It means the Lord wanted to show a way for Jephthah, and the Lord wanted to show goodness and kindness to him. In other words, the Lord was in the process of preparing something good for him! Now, of course geographically speaking, Tob was actually a real place at the east side of the Jordan River. But 'Tob' means 'Good' too!

So you see, the Lord will know how to lead you into something good, even though you may not initially understand why certain things happened in your life, especially those not-so-good things. 

I continue with Judges 11:3 (NKJV), 'And worthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him.' Now, a lot of people interpret this part as Jephthah mixing with gangsters and doing all those gangsters' work. I don't think so. So, who were these 'worthless men'? If you study the original word for this word 'worthless' here, you would see that these men were not necessarily criminals, bandits, or robbers. They were simply a group of outcast and worthless people in the eyes of the world. But to God, Jephthah and these people were not worthless. They might be poor or without much possessions; but they were not necessarily criminals. In fact, they were probably fighting against invaders into that land, or protecting some families in that land. 

Judges 11:4-5 (NKJV) then says, 'It came to pass after a time that the people of Ammon made war against Israel. And so it was, when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.' 

In other words, when the people were in trouble those days, only then they thought of Jephthah and looked for Jephthah. Remember, these were the very people who rejected Jephthah in the past. 

For some of you, maybe you too have been rejected, shunned, or despised before in the past. Take heart. Surrender your situation to the Lord. Forgive yourself. Forgive those who have rejected you, shunned you, or despised you. Look to the Lord. The Lord has a plan for you. The Lord has a destiny for you. And the Lord remembers you. He is going to cause everything to turn out for good to you.

And that's exactly what happened for Jephthah. 

Judges 11:6 (NKJV) says, 'Then they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon."' What a turnaround! They even invited Jephthah to be their leader! Maybe because they were desperate, and they knew no one could help them and deliver them the way Jephthah could. 

Let's look at Jephthah's answer. Judges 11:7 (NKJV) says, 'So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me and expel me from my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?"' Here, Jephthah was just saying the fact. 

Did Jephthah forgive them and accept this offer? 

Let's read further. 

Judges 11:11 (NKJV) says, 'Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them...' 

So the answer is Yes. Jephthah forgave them, and he went on to be their leader. I mean he could have continued in his bitterness and this was a chance for him to exact revenge against the very people who rejected him earlier. But you see here, Jephthah has a big heart, and he has a heart for God. He wanted to see his people being delivered from the enemies. 

You see here that there was actually a proper closure. There was a forgiveness. There was a release. And the Lord gave Jephthah a new lease of life. This was also a time when Jephthah was about to be raised up by the Lord to be a deliverer for the whole nation. He was rejected by his own people, but now the Lord raised him up to be the deliverer of the very people who rejected him in the past! 

And you know what? The rest is history. The Spirit of the Lord was with Jephthah, and he (and the people of the Lord those days) went on to defeat the people of Ammon!

Hallelujah!

People of God, in the name of Jesus, there's a release of anointing right now to set you free from whatever that has caused you to be in a bondage, or whatever that has oppressed you or suppressed you. Be set free! Be released to walk in your God-given destiny, going forward!

And this year, you are going to walk in His destiny for your life! This is a year of a fresh new start in your life! This is a year you are going to advance and move forward in your life! I declare this upon you, in the name of Jesus!

Let us pray: 

"O Lord God, we do not want to be bound by the past brokenness and bitterness. We receive Your anointing right now to advance and to move forward in life. We receive Your anointing right now to have a fresh new start. Like Jephthah in the Scripture, we can forgive and we can let go, whatever happened in our past. This year is a year of destiny for us. This year is a year to advance and to move forward. And of course this year is a year of victory and breakthrough for us. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

How to soar above the 'storms' in 2023?

During my prayer time the other day, I saw a vision of an eagle soaring above the storm. It's not just soaring, but soaring above the storm, the thunder, the lightning. The eagle was somehow not affected by the storm. Instead, it was lifted higher above and over the storm! 

We all know what storm is, wherever we are living in this world - be it tropical storm, snow storm, sand storm, etc. However, in some nations, there can also be economic storm, political storm, etc. All in all, 'storm' basically speaks of 'any disturbance in the atmosphere that comes with violent wind or shaking'. 

But you see, in this vision, the eagle seemed to thrive over and above the storm; and not underneath or in the storm. In fact, the wind of the storm (or the current of the storm) lifted the eagle even higher than before the storm occurred! 

What is the interpretation to this vision? 

The Lord is saying: "For you who walk in the Spirit and are led by the Spirit of God, you are like that eagle!" 

Therefore, the message today is this: In spite of the 'storm', whatever the 'storm' may be that is beyond your control (including the economic storm), the Lord is teaching you (His people) how to soar above the storm, what you can do during the storm, and even thrive during the storm! 

Yes, this message is about riding on the wind of the Holy Spirit over and above the 'storm'. When many people are anxious, restless or struggling this year, the Lord is teaching you how to thrive and even move higher than ever before! 

So, we will study on the mechanism behind why an eagle is different from other birds, and why the Scripture uses eagle as an example. 

Let's look at the Scriptural basis for 'eagle' first. Isaiah 40:29-31 says, 'He (the Lord) gives power to the weak. And to those who have no might, He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.'

Notice that I've underlined these three key words - power, wait, eagles. We are going to study in detail these three words in Hebrew.

Why are eagles so extraordinary? 

Eagles can fly up to three kilometer high up the sky, higher than most birds. Eagles can fly an average speed of 80 kilometer per hour, and with the right conditions, as fast as 160 kilometer per hour. And that's faster than the speed limit in many country's highways! And of course eagles' eyes are sharp, and eagles can see seven times better than we humans! 

How do eagles rise above the storm? 

During a storm, instead of fleeing, eagles often fly directly into the fierce and violent wind of the storm. Why? Because eagles know the updrafts in the storm (i.e. the current of the storm) can help them rise higher. In fact, the storm pressure actually helps eagles to glide above the storm without using much energy. The storm is therefore no threat to the eagles! Because they would fly above the storm! Hence, eagles are great examples of surviving and thriving even during a storm! 

And you know what? There is peace above the storm! And the Lord wants you to soar with Him above the storm as well! 

Eagles are not only swift and majestic, they are also sharp in their vision. The same should be for each of us. As we walk in the Spirit, we want to be sharp spiritually and be so sensitive in our spirit, so much so we can grasp and know whatever the Lord wants to speak to us and lead us in each time and season! 

The word 'eagle' is 'nehsher' in Hebrew. This word comes from the root word meaning 'to break through, to rip (apart), or to tear (into something)'. In other words, when many in the world seem to fall under, be ripped apart by the enemy, or be torn apart by the enemy, you are the opposite! You are like that 'eagle', the spiritual eagle! Instead of falling under, being ripped apart by the enemy, or being torn apart by the enemy, the power of God in you will instead rip apart all those works of darkness that come against you! And that's why you see a breakthrough! You see the enemy being ripped apart, and not you! You see the enemy being torn apart, and not you!

The word 'power' is 'kowakh' in Hebrew. It can mean any of these: Force, capacity, might, strength, vigor, hardiness, substance. Yes, you can have all these in the face of the storm. You will not be so easily panicky or shaken, but you will triumph! Right now, the Lord is releasing to you this 'kowakh'! What better time to receive than in this time of the year! 

The word 'wait' that you see in Isaiah 40:31 is 'kawvaw' in Hebrew. In the context of our study today, it is you 'kawvaw' in the Lord (or with the Lord). This word 'kawvaw' can mean:

- 'to unite by twining yourself with the Lord'. You see, by yourself, you cannot. But when you 'twine yourself with the Lord'; the Lord and you, you and the Lord; nothing is impossible! 

This word 'kawvaw' can also mean: 

- 'to gather or to collect from the Lord'. What do you gather or collect from the Lord? His power, i.e. 'kowakh'! How about His strength, His wisdom, His love, His joy, His peace? And the list goes on. 

- 'to put hope in the Lord'. Indeed only He can give you the true victory and breakthrough that cannot be overturned by the enemy! 

- 'to look eagerly and expectantly to the Lord'. It means you can expect something good from the Lord this year. Expect your healing. Expect your deliverance. Expect the hand of the Lord to clear away all the works of the enemy against you. Your part is to keep trusting in the Lord and walking with the Lord.

- 'to look patiently to the Lord'. The Lord knows the best timing for you. The Lord knows how to give you the breakthrough and victory - at the right time and at the right place! 

So, that's why it's super exciting! The Lord has spoken, even at this juncture of our lives, and at this time of the year! Look not to man (or the things in the world that will fall away), but look to the Lord! Look to Him who is unshakable, and you are going to see yourself walking in greater heights, greater victories, and greater breakthroughs this year! 

What matters most is your personal relationship with the Lord. I can't emphasize any further how important is your personal relationship and walk with the Holy Spirit this year. Pray in the spirit often. And that's how you can be more and more in tune with the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit who knows better and sees farther than anyone else on earth!
