2017 is going to be a time in which many of the least likely people begin to awaken to God's love. A long-awaited start of global awakening and revival will take place. Many of these people have been rejected by the Church, but God is saying, "I have not forgotten them and their cries have reached my ears." Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord. Psalm 117:1–2 (NIV)
The world is going to awaken to the awesome power of the Lord. There is a reason for all the turmoil and attacks.

John 6:29 - Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent." Sometimes it is work to believe, sometimes it is easy. But there are those days that it takes all your efforts. And I believe this is what Jesus is teaching - work to believe in the goodness and love and trustworthiness of God. Some days I do better than others, how about you? But even there I am being trained on what to do, how to think, and how to resist the devil, and even sometimes to reach out, not just to others, but even in asking for yourself. You should not be ashamed to ask for prayer, but know that others can't do your work before God. You have to work to believe too!
Acts of God, what are they? We are accustomed to hearing the local newscaster declare a natural disaster as an act of God. But is it really? Is that an accurate forecast? When society no longer believes that Satan exists or that hell is an actual place, then they would blame the Creator for these destructive events. When they say that there are many roads that lead to salvation then there is confusion about who God is. And therefore, humankind makes their own gods and anyone's description of the nature and character of their god is confused and accepted as the one, true God.
There are many types of prayer that we can engage in, whether it be intercession, petitions or just praying in the Holy Spirit. (1 Thess. 1:2, 1 Tim. 2:1) The most primary and necessary form of prayer is our devotional prayer life. This type of prayer has no agenda except to spend time with God, interacting in His Presence. The last verse in 2 Corinthians reveals a key in the life of Paul as it states, "Let the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen."
For the past few months, our ministry has hosted prayer meetings in our community, on Saturday. At our last one, the Lord gave me a word. As I sat meditating in prayer, I opened my eyes to see the word "Recover" on the wall in front of me. I smiled and didn't think much of it, but then the word continued to resonate in my spirit. The Lord began to share with me that He was about to cause a "Recovering" to occur.
I walked into my client's office and immediately knew something was wrong. "I'm sorry, Chase, but I'm not going to have much time today." I knew him to be a busy guy but he had a serious and sad tone about him. He went on, "To be honest, my marriage is falling apart." He looked exhausted and defeated. The only thing I could muster was, "I am so, so sorry." And I truly was. We talked for a few more brief moments, then I left. I walked back to my car and sat in the silence. The first line of Psalm 13 immediately came to mind: "How long, Lord?"
About a month ago I had a dream in which I was standing in a high place looking down at the earth. I was amazed at what I saw. It was as if all the soil of the earth was removed so that I could see what laid underneath and there in the middle of the earth there were these giant pillars. The pillars or columns that I saw were much like the columns used in Roman and Greek architecture, or what you might see at the White House. They were huge and imposing. They were greater in size than any skyscraper I had ever seen and entire towns and cities could rest upon the top of them.
In the natural it may appear as if the churches are dwindling down in membership, Christian friends are falling away, great men and women of God are passing away, and believers are declining in number. But the truth is, that God has a remnant that He has chosen for His end time army to usher in the greatest harvest in history. The fields are white unto harvest and it is about time that we take our place in what we have been called to do. Many of you feel inadequate, unqualified, or uneducated to be used by God. There was a man in the bible named Gideon who was fearful and weak in his own sight, but mighty in the eyes of God.
Even amidst the turmoil and chaos, there's a heavenly awe filling the spiritual atmosphere. Can you feel it? Avert your attention from the distractions that wish nothing more than to rob the people and this nation from the victory and blessings that have just been released unto us. This is a time for intentional praise because of, and "into," our breakthrough at hand. Be careful and intentional not to fuel the fire that is trying to be ignited by the adversary of our blessings. The fire is fueled by giving the nonsense distractions undue attention. I hear the Lord speaking to my heart, "This is the time for creativity to flow over and above the temptation to look upon negativity."
We've had a great spiritual victory in America. It's a reversal of the enemy's design on our nation and the door is open to honor God again. At the same time, we just lost Kim Clement. There is a weariness and disappointment among the saints. Many are experiencing delays and little fruit after much planting. We have longed to find our voice, experience our release and possess our land. Our hearts wonder if we can survive. We wonder, where is the favor of God? Where is the protection and provision of God? We can't help but question the significance of our own life and purpose… and dial it back a bit. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 NIV
