Beyond building your next "to do" goal checklist - is there anything else? I mean, really, of course there is benefit in building your goals, but if you really want to live the life of your dreams, is there anything else to consider? Just for a moment, could you look at your life as a journey? An ongoing expedition that is far greater than a few lists for New Year's goals. Perhaps your life has more purpose than you have realized so far? It is important to ask the right questions and take a moment for introspection.

The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head (Micah 2:13 NIV). In a prayer meeting a few weeks back, someone mentioned the topic of a window in the context of a recent dream. From the time this person said "window" until now, throughout the days I have been seeing visions of windows opening up from just about all angles. The theme "Windows of Opportunity" just keeps resonating. Some reading this have experienced endless closed doors, roadblocks, and blocked paths over these past few years. This has left you wondering why so many obstacles have come against you.

The Lord says, I am raising up the men and women of faith to be mentors to the next generation of believers. They are those who are grounded in My word, know how to hear My voice, and are able to discern that which is spiritual from that which is carnal. They will disciple the younger ones and help them to discover their purpose for their lives, as they walk with them through their journey. They will train and equip them for their assignment ahead. They will mentor in stability through wisdom and love. These mentors will reach out and rescue those who are in desperate situations because they know what it is to pay the price as they have also been through difficult times.

In a recent vision, I saw a huge war room abuzz with chatter as the enemy and his minions were deeply focused on strategic planning. They were deep in urgent, rapid-fire discussion as they pored over potential plans of attack and tried to decide on the most effective covert tactics. Their agenda was crucial to their success to distract, deter and sidetrack the goals of God's people. They were brainstorming secret plans to derail the destiny of God's Bride, plans that lay flat on a giant conference table. It was an hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute plan to distract those in the church. And this was not any ordinary plan; no, this was a master plan to dull the senses, to throw us off our game by wasting and deterring times of prayer, meditation and time in the secret place.

Today we start a new series, which has taken me 15 days or more of careful meditation and maturing. I do not post just anything that might sound good and I do not post to appeal to the various doctrinal camps either. I must be honest that my communion with God has saved me from complete disillusionment with what I see in general Christendom. The problem is for the hidden elites that there are those who for being "in the wilderness" they do not accompany the latest fad. Those who are accustomed to isolation and the emptiness of the wilderness hear a different sound. That sound is consistent to the same inspirational sound written between the lines of scripture.

One of the amazing things to many church goers who got "out of the box" of the church was the fact that the world was still going on and not as "in need" of them as they thought. And to be truthful, not all the unchurched were falling apart. This has been shocking to many who felt that controlling the "end of the world" was dependent upon them. In fact, there were many biographical movies made about people who were once churched strong who left the four walls to pursue their gift and career. Now if they left the church completely and didn't mingle with other sincere Christians, for sure they got off track. But many good ones used the monies they made and gave to many charities where people really needed helps that the Church was not giving them. These monies were an answer to many people's prayers for help and needs!

It's 1:07am, and I can't fall back asleep. I'm wide awake. It's not insomnia. No, it's something different. Inspiration, maybe. A gnawing awareness. An energy I recognize from the days I wrote music like my life depended on it.

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying that I am about to bring provision for the vision! I am raising up a generation that will be blessed. They will have more than enough to do that which I have called them to do. They won't barely make it. They won't keep struggling. They won't be broke. The financial limitations are falling away. They have settled in their heart what My opinion is about money. They know that I long to bless them with every blessing that comes from above!

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV) "For He says, 'In the time of my Favor I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you, now is the Time of God's favor; now is the day of salvation." This year is one of new dimensions: unprecedented Shekinah Glory that is releasing angelic portals all over the world. As the Shekinah Glory represents the dwelling or settling of the divine presence of God, these portals will create direct access points to heaven. As these portals are opened up, we will see God's sons and daughters from all over the world step into an acceleration of faith and belief for miracles and uncommon favor!

Having shifted into a new spiritual dynamic, one aligned with the present transitioning of a new presidential administration in the United States, it is imperative in all our service to the Lord and to His Kingdom interests, that His people now press in to receive understanding of His objectives for the season ahead—for our lives, our ministries and our churches. Prophetic interpretation of God's times is a vital function of the prophetic ministry, important for maintaining God's shalom through our fellowship and in all our movements. We see in scripture, recorded throughout Israel's history, prophets bringing direction to the people of God. Haggai and Zechariah, after Israel's release from captivity under Cyrus, were commissioned by God to direct the movements of His people and to maintain a unified perspective through an understanding of God's will.
