2023 Word of the Lord, RUN YOUR RACE!
In this year, 2023, The Prophetic & Intercession will spearhead the way.
(Spearhead: a leading element, force, or influence in an undertaking or development)
There will be, and is happening now, an increase in the Gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy, and a return of tongues and interpretation of tongues in your church and in your meetings.
God’s Word will become a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. It will be your guiding light shining in the darkness. Darkness is increasing, yes gross darkness. But the glory I have put on you will shine brightly. It will expose the darkness around you. I say shake loose of the darkness that grips your feet and ankles!
In this season, I hear the Lord saying, “Run your race, run your race!!!! Prepare yourself for the long-haul, for those who endure to the end shall be saved. Don’t grow weary and stop short of the upward call, but press on to the prize. Keep your eye on the prize. Don’t look to the right or the left, and don’t look behind. For what I have for you is in front of you, says the Lord.
Stay in your lane, the path that’s been marked out for you. Your gifts and callings are without repentance. Be a good steward of what has been invested in you. What have you done with what I’ve given you?, says the Lord. “Time is short, My coming is near at hand. Run I say, run as fast as you can. Lives are hanging in the balance, eternal lives. No more delay, it’s time. Step up, step in. Run your race. On you marks, I say, on your mark! Be poised and ready to go! Remove the distractions. Lay aside your weights. Run YOUR race with endurance,” says the Lord!
- Fueling Your Run
Physical food VS Spiritual Food.
-Fuel with the Word, Your Daily Bread
Joshua 1:8(NKJV)
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Matthew 4:3-4(NKJV)
3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
-Fuel with Worship
Isaiah 40:31(NKJV)
31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)
11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
-Fueling for Long Runs-
John 7:37-39(NKJV)
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
-Be prepared!
1 Peter 5:8-9(NKJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
Psalm 91:1-8 (NKJV)
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
