When New Year arrives, we hear "words" like "breakthru, blessings, best year yet, prosperity,etc
You can become known as a "dooms day prophet" (like in the O.T.) if you even dare to say "the new year will be a time of testing." hhhhmmmm-you seldom get a "happy face" when you say things like that.
Now don't get me wrong... I am not a prophet nor do I predict "doomsday."
However- I believe that 2011 may be a bumpy ride-but those who "trust in the Lord, they will come out shining like the noonday sun."
So what do I believe 2011 holds for the Body of Christ?
Okay, here we go....
'Testing, to purify and strengthen our "faith."
A good Father, teaches His children to obey, and walk upright before Him-there are times He will let them fall so they can learn-and rise up stronger!!!!!God is not tempting-He is purifying and perfecting..
Jesus was perfected by His "sufferings" and though God is not putting sufferings on us, He will teach us how to be strong through the hard times! A testing that perfects, not destroys... see your trials as "stepping stones" to a greater closer -deeper walk with God.
I believe God is going to reveal what is in our hearts to grow us up spiritually-in our faith walk. Many fine saints are walking thru very difficult times and coming out of the fire-with not even the smell of smoke on them.
These are the ones that are not moved by sight, fear or lack of faith, but they wait upon the Lord and depend on Him completely for every need- this kind of faith will see water flow out of the rock and the heavens rain manna, when there is a famine in the land!

Repentance/preparing His Bride
He is Holy! Repentance is a must, starting with the House of God.
Evangelism will be in the "forefront"
God's heart has always been for the lost, that is why He sent His beloved Son Jesus to die for us. Because He desires men/women to repent and be saved.
He has given us the commission-We are His hands, feet, and His voice upon the earth, it is up to us to go and rescue the lost.
and...
Those who do"go" will see great miracles, as miracles are no longer limited to certain "ministries" but God is moving by His Spirit upon the earth and miracles are breaking out in remote, unexpected places.
A calling out- of the young lions (youth)
I feel strongly that this year is a major move of THE YOUNG LIONS!!
Young men and women will rise up and preach the gospel with a pure voice! Not prideful, or desiring riches, but pure and humble hearts.
God is seeking young men/women who will rise to the call-
This is the new breed, the Young Lions.. The Lords Mighty Servants. Be prepared young adults, you are about to "rise up" and be heard. It is already happening!
Yes, this will be an amazing year.
The church will be "cleaner, stronger it will exhibit extra ordinary power to tear down the devils strong holds. Because this year..God will strengthen the feeble knee's and cleanse our hearts -if we let Him!
He is bringing the warriors and intercessors to the front lines!
Yes this is the year of growth thru testing, proving and training the Body of Christ to be all that it can be to the Glory of God.
Be ready precious saint, read the Word, Pray without ceasing, trust God and stay clean..... so the devil has nothing "in you."
Be encouraged.. God is for you, who then can be against you! You are complete in Christ, He has your back.
Don't ask God to bless what you're doing... but instead DO WHAT HE IS BLESSING!
