Some Prophetic Encouragement for 2014

1) Come into 2014 "thirsty" like never before! Come as though you have just completed a difficult trek through the Sahara Desert. Make Father's love the only well you drink from in 2014! If you do; Father's love will trump any and everything in your life this New Year! Count on it, believe it and receive it! Present yourself to 2014 with an unquenchable thirst for the cool and refreshing love of Jesus.

"Like cold water to a person faint from thirst is good news from a distant land." (Prov. 25:25 NAS)

"For I will saturate [the] thirst of [the] weary, and every person [who] languishes I will replenish." (Jer. 31:25 LEB)

"I'm thirsty for God-alive. I wonder, "Will I ever make it - arrive and drink in God's presence?" (Ps. 42:2 Msg)

"The scorched land will become a pool and the thirsty ground springs of water..."(Isaiah 35:7 NAS)

"If you believe in me, come and drink! For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water will flow out from within."(John 7:38 NLT)

2) Having quenched your soul with the 'living water' of Father's love; spill over to all you encounter this New Year. "Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me..." The world desperately needs "Love Ambassadors" commissioned by Father in 2014! Will you allow His loving heart to beat to overflowing through your life? Love is the Royal Law that fulfills and trumps all other laws and all religiously imposed performance standards. Don't allow any other voice to drown out loves passionate cry in your heart. Present yourself to 2014 with an unquenchable thirst for the cool and refreshing love of Jesus.
"If you are thirsty, come! If you want life-giving water, come and take it. It's free." (Rev. 22:17 CEV)
"Each of us is now a part of His resurrection body, (a community of love) refreshed and sustained at one fountain--his Spirit--where we all come to drink." (1 Cor. 12:13)

3) Don't settle for anything less than Unity in 2014! "When one suffers all suffer and when one rejoices all rejoice." Consider the following story. An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each other’s hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?'' 'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are."

"until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ." (Eph. 4:13 NLT)

"Christ makes the whole body grow as God wants it to, through support and unity given by the joints and ligaments." (Col. 2:19 GW)

"Do all these things; but most important, love each other. Love is what holds you all together in perfect unity." (Col. 3:14 NCV)

"Finally, all of you have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind." (1 Peter 3:8 ESV)

4) Hope will always empower the wait! Yes, you can wait in hope for Faith to make The Way Through...You don't have to return to the proverbial Egypt of your life and waste all of the Wilderness lessons of 2013. Yes, really. Three things are certain and will always remain and enable the maturing and completion that Jesus has for you in 2014...Faith, Hope and Love!  Hope allows you to experience the joy of getting to Love's destination--which is your destined end in Jesus!

"Waiting gives experience; and experience, (results in) hope..." (Rom. 5:4 BBE)

"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." (Rom. 4:18 TNIV)

"Through him (Abraham) we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God." (Rom. 5:2 ESV)

"They said many things to give strength and hope to the believers." (Acts 15:32 NIRV)

"This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us." (Rom. 5:5 GNT)

Do likewise in 2014!
