5 MANDATES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR 2004!
( through Todd Bentley )
1. Ask Big
I believe that there is a grace on this year to ask God for the impossible! I believe that for men and women who dare to dream big and lift their vision higher, God is releasing a special grace for you in 2004. Don't ask for tens of thousands but ask for millions. This is the year that God is going to turn over millions of dollars for the Gospel. I'm not asking for the thousands, I'm asking for the millions!
At a recent conference, God gave our ministry what I believe is a sign of what God is about to do in kingdom finances this year. Fresh Fire received a half a million dollars in offerings in this one conference. I said “Wow, now that's increase“! In the same conference we added half the number of harvest partners that signed up in the entire year of 2003—in one meeting.
I believe that God is now in the multiplication business. In January Heidi Baker prophesied “multiplication, multiplication, multiplication, God is multiplying, He's not adding!” It is not going to be two plus two equals four this year—no way! It is going to be four times four equals sixteen; it is going to be multiplication.
Recently the Holy Spirit spoke Psalm 2:8 to me: “Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance!” The year 2004 really is the year to ask for the nations, cities and regions! This is the year to ask God for buildings and for stadiums—it's time to launch out into things that are bigger than anything that you have ever imagined before! Fresh Fire is putting it all on the line this year, taking risks to reach entire cities in Canada! Dream big, ask big and dream bigger in 2004!
This is the year of inheritance of the Promised Land; it's a year to feast in the Promised Land rather than battling in the war! This is the year for the manifestation of the years of prophetic words for many of you! It is a time for God to divide the inheritance. This is the year to lay hold of your promises and dreams.
2. The Eyes of The Lord are Searching to and fro
This is the year of enlisting. In the Spirit, God is enlisting volunteers. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (II Chronicles 16:9). God is seeking those whose hearts are pure before Him to show Himself strong on behalf of the broken, on behalf of the contrite and on behalf of the pure of heart.
The eyes of the Lord are looking right now for people who are going to shake whole cities and nations. For many people 2004 is going to be the year that God enlists you. God is going to enlist young people because they are going to say, “Yes Lord, here I am, send me.” Those who know their God shall be strong and carry out great and mighty exploits. The Lord's eyes are looking for somebody that is ready to shake nations.
3. Deeper Rivers
The Lord spoke to me out of Ezekiel 47, saying that the decade from January 1994 to January 2004 has been a decade in which He has moved in the Church. It has been about the river of God and there has been life. Ezekiel 47 talks about the river flowing from the temple. This river is a river that, everywhere it goes, brings life where there is death. Everywhere the river of God flows there is life, renewal, refreshing, and reviving! As we get deeper into the river of Ezekiel 47 it turns into a river of healing and harvest. There really is something transitional about January 2004. We are not only stepping into something new for this year but something new for the next decade.
I believe that the waters are getting much deeper in 2004—the waters for healing and the waters for harvest! Mass harvest is coming to the church in 2004! Along the sides of the river are fishermen. This is the year of the fisherman; this is the year of the great coalition of ministries to cast out the net.
We are not going to do it alone. God spoke three things to me: networks, coalitions and alliances. These three relational structures will be coming together to shake whole cities for the Gospel. Not one, not two, not three, but entire alliances and coalitions of ministries partnering together. God is casting out the net—2004 is the year of the healing anointing; this is the year of the harvest!
I will tell you where the gold is in 2004. The gold is in the fish's mouth! If you're looking for money to pay your taxes, or if you're looking for money to pay your mortgage, I will tell you where the gold is. The gold is in the fish's mouth! That is where the abundant supply is—in the fish's mouth! Cast out your nets!
