2 Timothy 1:7-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].
⁸ So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord or about me His prisoner, but with me take your share of suffering for the gospel [continue to preach regardless of the circumstances], in accordance with the power of God [for His power is invincible], ⁹ for He delivered us and saved us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads to a consecrated life—a life set apart—a life of purpose], not because of our works [or because of any personal merit—we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago], ¹⁰ but now [that extraordinary purpose and grace] has been fully disclosed and realized by us through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus who [through His incarnation and earthly ministry] abolished death [making it null and void] and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, ¹¹ for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher [of this good news regarding salvation]. ¹² This is why I suffer as I do. Still, I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until ^[a]that day [when I stand before Him]. ¹³ Keep and follow the pattern of sound teaching (doctrine) which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ Guard [with greatest care] and keep unchanged, the treasure [that precious truth] which has been entrusted to you [that is, the good news about salvation through personal faith in Christ Jesus], through [the help of] the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

THIS IS YOUR MOMENT OF RESURRECTION!!! THE RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS IS COMING UPON YOU!!!!

by Lana Vawser Ministries

Recently I have had a strong sense of the 'resurrection power of Jesus' burning within me. That every battle, every storm, every hardship, every trial has come out of nowhere and attempted to pull many of God's people under.

There has been an assignment against many of God's people sent by the enemy to bring about a death to vision, to passion, to forward momentum, to the breakthrough that God is bringing upon His people.

The enemy has come hard against many of God's people, but God is demonstrating that He is greater within His people than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

In the midst of the acceleration of God, the enemy has also accelerated in his attacks to attempt to hinder God's people from what God is leading them into.

The Lord has been showing me over and over that that the enemy has thought he has won in so many ways by how he has come against God's people with these onslaughts. Many have felt like they have lost their breath in the battle. Many have felt like have died in the battle, but the truth is, the Lord has been working IN the battle and what is dying are the things in the heart and the soul that are NOT of God and inline with His Word and His truth.

So the very death the enemy is attempting to bring to vision, to passion, to purpose, to forward momentum, to the increase and breakthrough God is bringing is being turned on its head as the Lord turns what the enemy meant for harm, for the good of God's people.

There has been a 'dying' process for many in these battles and many have stared 'death' in the face, feeling like they wouldn't survive the battle, but then SUDDENLY comes the RESURRECTION POWER of Jesus to bring His people back to life and stronger than ever before.

There is an ACCELERATION OF RESURRECTION upon many of God's people right now. Many of you have been in battle after battle and many of you feel like in many ways there has been a death that has taken place within you in weariness, in wounding, in dreaming with God, in faith for the promises He has for you, but the Lord showed me that there is an ACCELERATION of RESURRECTION upon you NOW in Jesus name.

The resurrection anointing is coming in many of you that is going to cause LIFE to abound within you like never before and you will RISE AGAIN. You will no longer feel like you are drowning, but you will RISE AGAIN in STRENGTH and RESURRECTION.

There is an AWAKENING taking place in the RESURRECTION that will see you move in the freedom, the strength of the Holy Spirit, the healing and the restoration of God like never before.

You are being resurrected by His power like never before but WITHOUT the landing pads that the enemy has found to come and torment many of you and cause you to fall and to face continual cycles of battles that have brought about a death to many things within you and feeling like you are suffocating and not walking in victory.

There is a MAJOR victory upon God's people individually right now. The Lord is about to do DISPLAY His resurrection power like you have NEVER seen before.

You have stared death in the face in many ways in this season and the enemy thought he could hinder you, your vision, your mission and stop your forward momentum in this season of acceleration but NOW the acceleration and strength of the Holy Spirit that is being infused in you in the resurrection power of Jesus invading your life, you will accelerate into life, healing, strength, freedom, breakthrough and forward momentum like NEVER before.

Your VICTORY in Christ is about to be displayed LOUDLY in its MANIFESTATION!

“A New Pentecost and a New Reformation: 2019 and Beyond”
Nathan Shaw, Dunedin, New Zealand

Two thousand years ago, God poured out His Spirit on 120 Believers in Jerusalem. We know it as the day of Pentecost. It was the start of an atomic explosion of glory that went to the ends of the earth. Five hundred years ago, the foundations of the Western Church were hugely shaken through the Reformation. The foundational truth of the Reformation: the just shall live by faith. It was a rediscovery of a first century message that had become increasingly maligned in the centuries that followed. One simple truth undid over a thousand years of institutional Christianity. That which we are stepping into will be seen as both a new Pentecost and a new Reformation.
Pentecost was one of the three major feasts celebrated in ancient Israel. The feast was a prophecy of the future outpouring of the Spirit. That’s over one thousand years of prophecy! The outpouring of the Spirit at the feast of Pentecost was a direct link between the Old and New Covenants. Through the work of the Cross and the outpouring at Pentecost, the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile was dismantled (Ephesians 2:15). The Reformation dismantled a different but similar dividing wall—the wall between priest and laity. We are all God’s priests and everyone has direct access to God through the Blood of Jesus.
2020: The Year of 20/20 Vision
Pentecost and the Reformation—no one will deny that the world is different. But what’s on God’s agenda for today? 2020 will be a watershed year. God’s people will step into an unprecedented level of vision. 2020 will truly be a year of 20/20 vision—of seeing things from His perspective. Priorities and mindsets will change. Every year leading up to 2020 is hugely significant. God is strategically setting things up. As we move forward there is a vital piece of wisdom for us to understand: Pentecost was an event, that was part of a process. Let me explain.
The Pentecost—a Part of the Process and the Wisdom of Pathways
God is in charge of times and seasons (Daniel 2:21). The day of Pentecost happened at an appointed time. Because God is in charge of times and seasons it’s easy to think we are powerless to affect change or live in ultimate destiny until such an appointed time. But let me give you the big picture. Jesus commanded His disciples to teach the newly formed Church everything that He had taught them (Matthew 28:20). The disciples received three years of solid teaching from the most anointed Teacher in the universe!
Pentecost was preceded by a process, and initiated a process. It was an event that was part of a process. Because of the process, the whole city of Jerusalem was shaken (Acts 5:28). It’s easy to idolize or idealize the day of Pentecost. The most powerful event wasn’t the outpouring on the day of Pentecost. It was a city shaken by a Church caught up in a culture of Spirit-empowered change.
The outpouring at Pentecost involved Jews gathered from all over the world (Acts 2:9-11). Jewish mindset understood the importance of pathways. “But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day” (Proverbs 4:18 NASB). The wisdom of pathways is built into the book of Proverbs. The Jews lived it and breathed it. It was their wisdom for life. A pathway has a destination that is arrived at one step at a time.
No matter what time frame an ancient Israelite lived, in there was always a pathway before them. No matter what time frame a Christian lives in, there is always a pathway before them. Each person decides whether they walk on the pathway or not. The pathway is not dependent on times and seasons. The pathway always exists. It is spiritually discerned. Some see it; some don’t. Wisdom always implores us to walk on the pathway (Proverbs 1:20, 8:1-4, Matthew 7:13-14). Some hear Wisdom’s voice; some don’t (Matthew 7:24-27).
Old Reformation vs New Reformation
The Reformation was also an event that was part of a process. The retelling of history has dramatized the event of Martin Luther nailing his 95 theses to the church doors. The actual event was less dramatic and played out over time. Regardless, it only took a few, short years for centuries of religious structures to start unraveling. The Reformation was revolutionary, but it was also reactionary.
After centuries of bondage it was understandable that people became reactionary. The good impacts of the revolution and the negative impacts of the reaction are still with us today. Here’s the good news: the new Reformation we are entering will strategically dismantle wrong foundations, and it will be guided by a wisdom that will keep it from becoming reactionary.
Finding Satisfaction in the Path and not the Event
Those who are waiting for an event and not seeing the pathway will miss what God is doing. Events change history, yes, but pathways take you somewhere. There’s always the excitement of taking the next step. Those who spend all their time waiting for an event can so easily end up in cold frustration when the next “Pentecost” or “Reformation” is slow to arrive. Pentecost was an outpouring of the Spirit—an event that was part of a process. It shook cities and nations. Some are waiting for another Pentecost and missing the pathway. The Reformation was a restoration of some foundational, Biblical truths that began to transform and change society. Many are still fighting over the truths rather than walking in them.
Walking in destiny isn’t dependent on an event. It’s dependent on seeing and walking a pathway. Before the day of Pentecost, the disciples walked in destiny. After the day of Pentecost, the disciples walked in destiny. Events change history, but they are preceded and followed by processes. Rather than idolize or idealize events, discern the pathway that is yours and yours alone. That’s where you will find the increasing glory.
David declared that His satisfaction was in the path of life. “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).
This is the mindset that God is establishing in His people right now. It is preparing us for one of the greatest events in history.

“The Worst Is Over, and The Best Is About To Come!”
by Lonnie Mackley 23 Mar. 2019
You may have run into some serious spiritual warfare lately where it feels like a rocket attack from every side, and you’ve been wondering if it is going to get really challenging again like it used to be, but God wants you to know today that; “The worst is over, and the best is about to come!” What you are experiencing is merely an intimidation tactic meant to make you shrink back from God in doubt and fear, but it won’t work! You are going to stay steadfast and feel a peace that passes all understanding and misunderstanding; and you are going to come out victorious and on top this time, and there will be no more major setbacks like there was while deep in your wilderness time!
The real key is keeping your eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of your faith and wilderness time, and the Captain of the battle that is leading you into your Promise Land ministry and final harvest. Sanctify yourself this day and proclaim a fast from all that is of the world and sin, and seek the Creator because He is seeking you right now and opening up a big new door for you in the spirit-realm for you to access all that is yours in your inheritance in Christ. You’re about to be imbued with Power from on high, and the Most Holy One is laying His scepter upon your shoulder and commissioning you to go reach the lost, preach the gospel, pray for the sick, and cast out devils!
God is showing me a puzzle piece and He wants you to know that you are a unique puzzle piece like no other that fits perfectly into His Master plan, and nothing and no demon can come against you if you will obey the Lord in everything and honor His Name in all things that He will do ahead. God wants you to stop thinking so small and to start thinking very big without limitation because that is how He thinks! You are a mighty soldier of valor and He has called you to conquer in His Name and tear down all demonic strongholds in His Name everywhere you go by the power of His Holy Spirit and His Word. So know this day dear one; the worst is over, and the best is about to come!
ISA 62:12 They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted
