Greetings and Happy New Year to the family of God!\u00a0 This is an exciting to be alive, because God has chosen you to be a part of what He now doing in the earth.\u00a0 The Bible says that God has already worked, and those works are good (Gen. 1:31).\u00a0 Afterward, Jesus labored on the cross, in order to bring us into God\u2019s rest.\u00a0 The \u201crest\u201d or Sabbath is the day following the completed works of God.\u00a0 We enter into that day by faith when we hear God\u2019s voice, and obey (Heb. 3:7,8).\u00a0 When we walk in faith by believing and accepting what the Lord has already done, we get the benefit of receiving the completed works.\u00a0 How do we do the works of God?\u00a0 We have to believe on the One (Jesus) whom God has sent (John 6:28).\u00a0 By faith you are accounted as righteous, or as if you are entitled to receive the blessings of God.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This brings me to what God is saying concerning the new year.\u00a0 God spoke to me about providing a supernatural entrance.\u00a0 This entrance will deliver you, once and for all from many of your past hardships; and bring you into the new day that God intended for you, all along.\u00a0 What do I mean by that?\u00a0 God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt with a mighty hand.\u00a0 They were slaves in Egypt for four hundred years, until they began to cry out unto God.\u00a0 God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to let His people go free that they may worship Him.\u00a0 Anytime, you are not free to worship God, you are in bondage.\u00a0 God wanted to change His people\u2019s mindset from that of being a slave, unto to one in which they experienced the liberty of being a child of God, whose hearts were free to worship Him.\u00a0 God\u2019s sent ten plagues against Pharaoh and Egypt, and Pharaoh seemingly gave in, and agreed to let them go.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that all of this was orchestrated by God; even the sudden change of heart by Pharaoh which caused him to pursue the Hebrews, who were trapped against the Red Sea.\u00a0 They were trapped until God provided a supernatural entrance that had not been seen before.\u00a0 God caused a wind to blow and divided the Red Sea in the middle, and the Israelites walked through on dry land.\u00a0 Before God opened up that way, the Hebrews were angry, afraid, perplexed, and full of anxiety.\u00a0 They murmured and complained against God and against Moses.\u00a0 But in the providence of God, He had already prepared, already provided, and already worked.\u00a0 God told Moses to stop crying, go forward, and use what He had already prepared.\u00a0 He was to use the rod of God to open up the way (Ex. 14:15,16).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What did the rod represent?\u00a0 It represented the spoken word of God.\u00a0 The rod is for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16).\u00a0 Psalm, chapter twenty-three and verse four, describes how the rod and the staff comfort us.\u00a0 So this is a picture of the rod (word) in the hands of a loving shepherd, and not in the hands of the harsh taskmasters of Egypt.\u00a0 Shepherds lovingly guide and lead their flock.\u00a0 Jesus is the Good Shepherd who guides and leads us by the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 This guidance is a comfort to us and not grievous.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s get back to the word for the new year.\u00a0 God promises to open up and supernatural door for you by His word:\u00a0 not just any word, but the word that He has spoken to you concerning your life and future.\u00a0 This word is the rod which is anointed to do signs, wonders and miracles.\u00a0 You are instructed to use that anointed word as a key, to open up a way where there seems to be no way.\u00a0 The anointing on that word will increase and be intensified because of the urgency of the times we are living in.\u00a0 When God speaks, that equals direction.\u00a0 Some people may say, \u201cI\u2019m not sure that I\u2019ve ever heard God\u2019s voice?\u201d\u00a0 Well, I assure you that God does speak, and I obligate myself to pray for you that you hear His voice and when you do, that a supernatural door will be opened to you to enter into Gods works.\u00a0 It\u2019s not about man\u2019s works (Egypt), but God\u2019s works which include His gospel and the advancement of His glorious Kingdom.\u00a0 The Bible says we are God\u2019s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared ahead of time that we should walk in them (Eph. 2:10).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This word is to help you unlock those good works.\u00a0 When you enter into your place it blesses the whole body of Christ.\u00a0 God has good things prepared for each one of us.\u00a0 Some of you have never been truly free to go forward in the things of God.\u00a0 So I release unto you this word of freedom in every area of your life.\u00a0 Be set free in Jesus\u2019 name.\u00a0 Amen!<\/p>\n
