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!

Hebrews 12:1-2(NKJV)

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Goal Setting

Habakkuk 2:2-3(NKJV)

2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
“Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

Keeping Track of Progress

2 Corinthians 3:18(NKJV)

18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as [a]by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Peter 1:5-8(NKJV)

5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control [a]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [b]barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3:18(NKJV)

18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Raise the Bar

Colossians 1:9-12(NKJV)

9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

Trainer/Mentor

1 Peter 5:1-7(NKJV)

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away. 5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Psalm 145:4(NKJV)

4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.

Faithfulness/Diligence/Commitment

Joshua 1:8(NKJV)

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.

Hebrews 11:6(NKJV)

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.

1 Corinthians 4:1-2(NKJV)

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
