2. Jeremiah 29:11:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
3. Genesis 1:26-30:
“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food…”
4. Genesis 12:2-3:
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
5. Psalm 84:11:
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”
6. Isaiah 41:10:
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
7. Ephesians 3:20:
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
8. Deuteronomy 7:13:
“He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.”
9. Psalm 34:8-10:
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.”
10. Psalm 115:13-14:
“He will bless those who fear the Lord—small and great alike. May the Lord cause you to flourish, both you and your children.”
11. Numbers 6:24-26:
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”
12. John 10:10:
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
13. Psalm 1:1-3:
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.”
14. Deuteronomy 28:1-2:
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”
15. Matthew 6:33:
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
2025 Is Your Year To Thrive! But it is not an unconditional promise. Psalm 65:11 is clear: “You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance” It Is His Paths That Cause Abundance!

Going Deeper In 2025 With Prayer & Fasting…
There is a deeper place we can go in Him where we develop medicine that heals hearts, relationships, families, finances, businesses, and nations. Ezekiel 47:12: “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” Amazing Things Happen As We Go Deeper > Ezekiel 47:1-14:
o The River Starts At The Temple and Goes To Our Ankles, Then Knees, Then Waist, and Then Over Our Head v.5 THAT Is Where The Healing Medicine Is!
What level of Holy Spirit Connection do you want in 2025?
One of the best ways to experience more of the Holy Spirit as we start a New Year is fasting and prayer. So, we will be holding 21 days of fasting and prayer to begin 2025 from January 5 to January 25.
So, what exactly is fasting? Fasting is simply a time set apart to seek the Lord Himself, to seek His face! There’s something about going without food or social media or your phone for a time that helps us focus on Him. Something happens when you fast that helps you seek the Lord in a greater way than normal. Your focus isn’t so much on what you will be eating, or planning meals, on cleaning up after meals, but on seeking Him.
In a fast, we’re not so much saying no to food, but saying yes to Jesus and to more time with Him. We are taking our attention off of the things of this world that seem to distract us and putting our full attention on the Lord. It sends a signal to God that we are serious enough about Him to abstain from food just so we can seek Him.
What Does Fasting Do For You?
A. It Humbles Your Heart - I Kings 21:25-29; Psalm 35:13.
B. It Purifies Your Motives – Matthew 6:16-18.
C. It Triggers Repentance - Joel 2:12-14; Psalms 66:18.
D. It Sharpens Your Focus - I Corinthians 7:3-5.
E. It Activates Intercession – 2 Chronicles 20:1-4; James 5:16.
F. It Brings Direction – 2 Chronicles 20:1-17.
G. It Stirs Warring And Soaring - 2 Chronicles 20; Joel 1-3. In a fast, we “war” with:
Our Self:
o Flesh - Luke 4:1-14
o Mind - Psalm 35:13
o Emotions - Psalm 35:13
o Sins and Habits - I Samuel 7:2-13
Our God – Genesis 32:22-32
Our Spiritual Enemy – John 10:10; Colossians 4:12; Ephesians 6:10-18
Fasting begins with God’s people warring and ends with them soaring!
H. It Triggers Rewards - Fasting has great rewards! Hebrews 11:6 – “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
What Are The Rewards Of Fasting?
The Release Of Deeper Intimacy With God - Acts 13:1,2 - “While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said…” What a picture of fasting!
The Release Of Deeper Awareness Of God’s Voice - Acts 13:1,2.
The Release Of Dreams & Visions - Acts 13:1-4. The atmosphere of prayer and fasting is a womb where the Holy Spirit births visions, giving us direction.
The Release Of The Miraculous – Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:29
The Release Of Ministry - Acts 13:1-4
The Release Of The Prophetic - Luke 2:36-38
The Release Of Strength For Leaders - Acts 14:21-23.
How Do You Fast?
Determine If You Want To – Deuteronomy 30,
Do It For The Right Reasons – Matthew 6:16-18,
Discern What You Will Give Up – I Corinthians 9:24-27,
Devote Extra Time To Prayer – Matthew 9:14-17,
