12:38: “End of the year. This end leads to many New Beginnings. Beginnings and newness created by Me long ago. The angels are shouting over this one. They love to see what I create and know I have much planned for earth this coming year. My angels stand ready to assist. They wonder if you, My People, are ready. I have assured them you are. Over the past five years I have brought you through hardships turned into blessing, for I have used many plans of your enemy as means to prepare you for what is now to come.

“At this time of year many of you practice what you call New Year’s Resolutions. Hear Me now in My Resolutions for you and My creation.

“I RESOLVE to AWE you. Awe means wonder. I will show you wondrous things, pageants for your eyes that will touch your soul and make it vibrate with awe of Me. Look to My creation for things you have not seen. PAY ATTENTION. Set aside your tendency to call sequence or concurrence of note as ‘coincidence.’ Am I a God of coincidence? Does anything happen in My creation that surprises Me? That is random to Me? Do you not see the foolishness of labeling wondrous events set up by Me as happenstance? Look beyond this earthbound tendency of yours and ask yourself – What is God saying?

“I RESOLVE to draw you closer to Me. This, too – as with all My invitations – requires your responsiveness, your yes.

“I RESOLVE to bring down evil. You will see this play out through My exposure of hidden lies and schemes. The Truth that emerges will cause you to wonder – at the depth of deception woven by mankind, some of whom you trusted, and at your own gullibility at readily believing. Revelation carries that quality of newly opened eyes marveling that they could ever have been closed, for the Truth now seen shines so intensely.

“I RESOLVE to raise up My People in new and wondrous ways. What have I prepared you for? In each of you I have intricately designed a purpose in My Kingdom that will now shine forth. You will surprise others, particularly those who know you. You will surprise yourself. When your yes meets My plan of the ages, power and grit will spark within your soul. Courage and single-mindedness will prevail. Doubt flees, and Trust shoots up. My gifting within you will come forth as never before. Remember this as My gifts within you surprise even you – My gifts are NOT FOR YOU. They are for the good of others – to lead them to Me – and the advancing of My Kingdom. You are merely the carrier, the messenger, the mouth and hands and feet of My creativity. Do not become puffed up with pride over My supernatural works through you. My gifts start and end with, are all about, ME. They require humility to steward properly. Stay on your knees before Me as My gifts within you expand, and delight, and make demons flee.

“I RESOLVE to bless you and your family as you work for My Kingdom. I will shower favor upon you in unexpected and uncanny ways. In this, too, cast off ‘coincidence.’ There is nothing coincidental in My timing over you.

“I RESOLVE to let loose My Spirit over you, your family and church, city and nation. My Spirit falling on people brings them to sudden revelation of My Glory and Love for them. My Spirit brings sudden change of heart as knees fold in repentance and awe before Me. Your prayers for many lost ones will be answered. My Spirit will hover in tangible ways – in mist and cloud, in air so vibrant with My presence that you will not be able to stand. How do I change a nation? I CHANGE HEARTS. I will heal and deliver. I will set souls imprisoned free.

“I RESOLVE to provide you with all the strength and wisdom you need as you stand strong and war for My Kingdom. My endurance does not run out. My strength only builds, does not falter. When you become weary – PRAISE ME. Praise is your greatest weapon, for devils flee before it. Demons and Satan cannot remain in the presence of praise. Praise physically hurts them, rattles their brains. Think of Jehoshaphat’s army, who did not need to fight their innumerable enemy, but were required to go to battle, their singers and musicians IN FRONT. Why did I command such a tactic? IT WAS THEIR PRAISE THAT CAUSED THEM TO NOT HAVE TO FIGHT. Their praise chased demons away from their own army and to the armies that rose against them. The demons turned their itch to fight against the armies who had amassed to fight My People – and they fought and killed EACH OTHER. PRAISE became the weapon.

“I RESOLVE to change the earth. My Kingdom on earth now rises, and all must change before it. Life Abundant for My People and My Harvest – for they shall join My ranks. Judgment for those who stubbornly conceal their sin and refuse repentance.

“AWE and WONDER await you, My People. Stand strong against opposition. Above all, TRUST ME. My Word is Gold. It will not lose its value and will not fail. Trust is required when you cannot see your way ahead. I see it. I AM all you need.

“All praise and honor to the Glorious One who sits on the throne. All praise and honor to the Father, Son, and Spirit. Amen.”

1:27: “I come that you might live abundantly. What is abundance? My abundance covers you. Surrounds you. Fills you. My abundance shapes and molds you. Will thrill and amaze you. My abundance is OVERFLOW. It is more than you can contain and therefore overflows onto others. It is rich. It is healthy and full of life. My abundance causes love and joy, peace and plenty. At no time would you try to contain it, for it pulses to be shared in love with others. My abundance is of the spirit and in the natural. It brings prosperity of soul and body. Abundance springs from nutrient soil, from dripping skies and frothing sea. Yes, My creation is a vital part of it. My abundance is a world teaming with My LIFE and vitality. I give abundance of hearing My word, abundance of seeing with clear eyes, abundance of strength of legs and arms and organs. My abundance shimmers and shines light on your enemies. They are forced to witness My outpouring over you – and cannot stop it.

“My abundance brings understanding of Me, continuous revelation of My Word, discernment and knowledge. It brings continuity with My time, for it understands the Plan of the Time and knows how to follow.

“My abundance requires diligence and proper stewardship. It is a gift from Me, a byproduct of our relationship in harmony. My abundance is not to be sought, for it is not the thing of most importance. It is a result, not the focus. The focus is, and always shall be, ME. Only with eyes fixed on Me can you properly steward My abundance and keep it in its proper place. There are tests of difficult times, yes. There is also the test of abundance. Do not seek it – seek Me – and My abundance will pour. Seek it for its own riches and comfort – and it will cease. For My abundance springs from My LOVE for you, and I will not continue to pour out when it takes your soul instead of satisfying it. I say again – My abundance is a byproduct. It grows and flows under the right circumstance – of a heart full of My Love and a will and hunger to serve Me. My abundance is for My Kingdom, not the Kingdom itself. Come, taste My abundance by abundantly following Me, obeying My words, rejoicing in My tasks and destiny for you. Such is the path to My abundance. Seek it – and it shall not be found. Seek Me – and all shall come in My presence.

“A nation that seeks Me shall be full of My abundance, for I will bless it.

“Bless the Lord, give thanks to His Name, for His lovingkindness to His People is everlasting and full of ABUNDANCE. Amen.”

1:42: “Seek ME, and I shall give to you from the storehouse of My Abundance of Life, which never ends. Amen.”

1:00: “‘Take me to the cross.’ A song, a joy for all people. A symbol of renewal and refreshment, redemption and hope. My cross was not a thing of beauty. It was rough and soaked with the smell of blood – My Blood. The reality far from the symbol. Chaos and cruelty – to gold and purity. I make it so. My Blood stained it – and My Blood purifies.

“Come, come to the cross. Come for forgiveness and love, humbling and remembrance. Come to confess all your sin – and rejoice in the taking away – My redemption. Come to My ugliest moment – My Greatest Beauty. Come to the place where pride melts away – and Wonder rises. Come to the beginning of the perfection of YOU. I AM gentle. I AM kind. I AM your Savior – if you will only allow it.

“This is a NEW DAY. All will confront My cross. All will face it – and be demanded of an answer. There is no ignoring My Cross. It calls and beckons your ‘yes’ to My Gift of Redemption. It crushes your ‘no.’

“I come now to the earth in Glory and Wonder, My Spirit riding on the wind. My Spirit pours out, changing lives and hearts of those who pursue Me. My Spirit calls, ‘Hear Me. Heed Me – and LIVE.’”

When you, My People, are confronted by My Harvest, remember My Cross. The newcomers will be stained and ugly, rough to your touch. I will make them a thing of beauty, new and shining, as I did you. Love them in their unrefined state – and bring them to Me. Watch Me work a miracle in their lives. Remember My Redeeming Love for you – and heap it on them. I came to change the world then – I come to change it now. ‘Your yes will be glorious. Your no will be costly. I bore the cost. Why should you refuse Me – and bear it yourself for eternity?’ Say this to My Harvest. Bring them to Me. And say ‘yes’ for yourself all over again, My People, for the cleansing and healing of your soul wounds and trauma. I paid for this too. Accept My Gift – and be made whole. Live in wonderment and Glory, and My Great POWER over your enemy. I defeated him for you – now go out and ENFORCE My victory. Your reward will be great. Your reward will be eternal. No time now to stand by and watch the show. YOU ARE THE SHOW. My Power pours through you. My Glory is seen through you. You are My hands and feet to My Harvest. Come and REAP with Me. Amen.”

I did not know a song titled “Take Me to the Cross” so I searched it. A number of years back it was released by singer Al Denson. Lyrics here.

I Peter 2:24: He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

Isaiah 60:1-2: Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth

He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Mark 4:26-29: And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
