This is a WOW word for right now and for next year. As I read through Jamie Rohrbaugh's article for 2019, I thought this is a "get your house in order" word to the Body of Christ, so we can get ready for the MORE God is pouring into us.
I'll keep this short as I want you to get right to reading this word. I encourage you to read this slowly, carefully, and then let's contend and get serious about doing the Father's business for this next year and beyond! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
A few days ago, the Lord began talking to me about what He has in store for 2019. When He did, He also told me several strategies we should use to see His will manifested in our lives next year. I believe these strategies will bless you also. Here are the prophetic strategies the Lord gave me for 2019:
1. Seven "I Am" Statements
Father God is anointing people for total transformation, and it starts with redefining who you are. I believe He is calling us to write out seven "I am statements" to confess throughout the year. If you want to participate in this, write down seven statements that you will speak out loud over yourself from now through 2019. Make these seven statements start with the words "I am," and be sure they talk about who you are, not about things you do.
Some of your statements will naturally pertain to the most important things in life (e.g. being on fire for God). Others will be important because you need to redefine who you are in those areas. Your seven "I am" statements should all take your proverbial breath away.
These statements will frame your year. They should all make you feel like you are walking into a wide, new world—a wonderland of possibilities—because you are. Everything can change for you in 2019.
2. Get Serious
| "The Lord desires to sit VISIBLY enthroned on all your circumstances. This is the year in which He will bring Himself more glory in your life than ever before." |
You are about to graduate—and the serious ones will receive everything. Father God is pouring out a grace right now for total transformation. He is pouring out His anointing, grace, and help right now to assist people in redefining who they are on paper first, and then implement the changes in every area over the course of the next year. If you participate in the transformational process, I believe in one year and even one month or so from today, your life can be totally different. Just keep in mind that if you want this:
• There will be sacrifice.
• You will need a routine that you follow every day.
• You must define your path and write it down in advance.
• You must dedicate yourself to living purposefully every day.
It will be like final exams at the university. Final exam students usually study, rest, and study some more. Every moment is taken up with studying for the next exam, until the last one is over. But when the last exam is over, they celebrate BIG! They celebrate because they made it through. They celebrate because they achieved a milestone. They celebrate because they don't ever have to go back there. If you will treat 2019 like final exam week, you will not ever have to go back around this same mountain...and that is good news!
You will graduate, and you will enter your Promised Land. But, you'll have to be sober and vigilant. As 1 Peter 5:8-11 says: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."
You've been suffering awhile already. Now is Father's time to perfect you. The question is: Do you want what He has for you badly enough to "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15-16)? Because this is what it's going to take. Only the serious will appropriate everything He has. Everyone can receive mercy drops from Heaven, but only the serious ones will receive EVERYTHING God has for them.
The Lord hit me with a sentence so strongly that it physically knocked me backward when I heard... (continue reading)
