This year will be different

EUNICE ANN VAN ZYL WRITES:

At the beginning of each year, millions of Christian believers go on a fast to spiritually prepare for the year ahead.

“To be still and know our God is God.” (Psalm 46:10)

In Namibia we all know that this year will be different. We have seen it in the natural with the rains. We have seen day after day the pouring down of rain from heaven.

Here is the question. How prepared is the Church of Jesus Christ for the outpouring of the Spirit?

Acts 2:17 Holy Bible (New King James)

And it shall come to pass in the last days says God,

That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;

Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

Your young men shall see visions,

Your old men shall dream dreams.

And on my menservants and on My maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days: and they shall prophesy.

I know that there is a reluctance with speakers to cut their messages short under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

But what the Holy Bible says will happen. Will happen. Children will start to prophesy.

After a short time of fasting this year, the scripture that the Holy Spirit Spoke to me clearly through a dream was. 2 Peter 3:3 and 8-9

Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts and saying:

“Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.

But beloved do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

If we choose to walk in reverential fear of God this year, then “goodness and mercy” will follow us.

If not, we will be in danger of God’s swift judgement.
