A DOSE OF GOODNESS

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

January 2, 2024 – 1/2/2024
1 – Unity
2 – Faithful Witness Set Apart

Psalms 133:1-3 NKJV – It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.

When Jesus is your focus, people will see His light and goodness. Keep your eyes on Him because the lost are counting on you! The American church could use a dose of goodness. Why is God known for persecution and judgment instead of goodness and love for those who do not believe?

Declaration: I declare and decree in the mighty name of JESUS – Your goodness, King Jesus, will set the atmosphere I occupy. I declare and decree in the mighty name of JESUS – because goodness will always oppose evil, and evil is overcome by goodness; I know Your goodness will always lead me to victory!

A DOSE OF GOODNESS

 People today don’t accept God’s love or genuinely believe He’s good. The problem is there’s not enough goodness in the people who profess Christ’s name!

When the Church is the good guy, it is powerful. The kingdom of God transforms lives, heaven invades earth, and everything is better!

When the Church is the bad guy, that is powerful, too, but in a wrong way. The mob of hell rises in the world!

I like what Paul writes to believers about the condition of our hearts and the church when we don’t value goodness: “It is obvious what kind of life develops out of trying to get your way all the time: repetitive, loveless, a stinking accumulation of mental and emotional garbage; frenzied and joyless grabs for happiness. trinket gods; magic-show religion; paranoid loneliness; cutthroat competition; all-consuming-yet-never-satisfied wants; a brutal temper; impotence to love or be loved; divided homes and divided lives; small-minded and lopsided pursuits; the vicious habit of depersonalizing everyone into a rival; uncontrolled and uncontrollable addictions; ugly parodies of community. I could go on. This isn’t the first time I have warned you; you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God’s kingdom.” –Galatians 5:19-21 (MSG)

OUCH! Do you see yourself? It is hard not to. Again, Paul was writing to the Church! When Christians and the Church itself are not full of God’s goodness, everything is miserable. It does not have to be like that. choose goodness. Believe God when He claims to be love – When He professes that He is light – when He proves by His actions that He is truly good and perfect.

FAITH LIKE JOB

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

January 1, 2024 – 1/1/2024

1-Unity

Job 1:1 (NKJV) –1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

Job is the one guy that God permitted Satan to attack in the Bible. I don’t know about you, but man, that was harsh. But God had a purpose in doing that. He knew Job’s heart and his strong faith, and God knew that Satan would not be able to do anything to Job that would cause Job to turn his back on God.

Declaration: Lord, help me have a heart and faith like Job. I want to always choose you over temptations that may cross my path. Keep me strong and determined to hold my faith just as Job did so that I may hear you say, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” when I meet you in heaven.

FAITH LIKE JOB

 In contemplating the profound notion of “shunning evil,” one is compelled to reflect upon the transformative power of aligning one’s life with the principles and teachings found in God’s word. The question arises: How many of us can authentically claim to have embraced such a commitment? Imagine the profound impact on our lives if we possessed the discernment to recognize the destructive presence of evil and, more importantly, the strength to turn away from it. 

Drawing inspiration from the biblical narrative of Job, we encounter an example of unwavering faith and steadfast commitment to God. Despite the relentless onslaught of adversities orchestrated by the devil, Job remained resolute in his faith, consistently turning to God in times of trial. His resilience serves as a beacon, illustrating the transformative potential of trust even in the face of unimaginable loss. Job’s unwavering belief in God’s providence amid the darkest chapters of his life exemplifies the type of believer Christians aspire to be.

Navigating the tumultuous seas of life, believers are urged to fix their gaze on things above, transcending the concerns that pervade this fallen world. The Christian worldview underscores the inherent risks of diverting one’s attention from God, emphasizing the paramount importance of remaining steadfast in faith. The narrative of Job serves as a poignant reminder that, regardless of life’s complexities and challenges, maintaining focus on God is the key to enduring faith.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, the exhortation to emulate Job’s unwavering commitment resonates as a timeless call to believers. Amid the demands and distractions of the world, the challenge remains to anchor one’s heart and faith in God, mirroring the steadfastness exhibited by Job. As life unfolds with its myriad distractions, the call to emulate Job’s resolute devotion echoes—a call to stay centered on God, fostering a heart and faith that withstand the tests of time and circumstance.

THE GOODNESS OF GOD

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 31, 2023 – 12/31/2023
12 – Perfect Government
31 – Offspring or Generations After You

Luke 12:31 (NKJV) But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

The giving side of God shows up as goodness and looks like an increase. Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Psalms 85:12 When God gives to you, He intends to fill you with goodness. He has a huge agenda to see goodness and fruit in your life.

Declaration:

I declare in the mighty name of Jesus… Today, 12-31-23, “123123,” I will partner in rhythm with You on life’s dance floor, mirroring your goodness for all the world to see.

I declare in the mighty name of Jesus …When God is with us, we don’t just talk good, look good, or act good. We do good.

King Jesus, your good is always a catalyst for Kingdom transformation. Today, I will partner with You and what You are doing.

THE GOODNESS OF GOD

What you give them, they gather in; You open Your hand, and they are filled with good. Psalms 104:28

So, the thing you need to know about goodness is that when it shows up, it is always life-giving and selfless. It should appear everywhere Christ is present, or the Bride of Christ is activated. The overcoming, devil stomping, hopelessness destroying, life-giving, fruit-bearing goodness of God should be wherever you and I are.

Since there is no end concerning His kingdom and His peace, as the Bible says, there is no end to how things can change for the better. In our short time on earth, we can make changes that far outlast us and glorify the King. When I seek Him first, then not only do I see Jesus, but the world can see Jesus. When His people demonstrate His heart through goodness, the word says it is the goodness of God that draws a man to repentance.  Father, your goodness makes true transformation a real possibility anywhere.

BE BOLD & COURAGEOUS

Today’s Prophetic Numbers

12 – Perfect Government

30 – Acts of Redemption & Accomplishing Priestly Service

Matthew 12:30 (NKJV) He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Have you ever felt like you missed an opportunity to do Kingdom work because fear took over you and made you doubt yourself?  Do not feel alone this is a tactic the enemy uses to try and weaken us, but no weapons formed against us shall prosper!

Declaration: I will be bold and courageous in my Kingdom work.  Heavenly Father, I pray right now for boldness and courage to overcome the enemy who tries to make me stumble and miss an opportunity to serve You.  Lord, when you call, I will answer.

BE BOLD & COURAGEOUS

No matter if it is a trip, stumble, or down right fall, if you are walking with God His grace is on you and He will not fail you.  The beautiful thing about God is that He does not call us to be perfect, He just calls us.  When we bring the light into a dark situation through acts of kindness or when we bring His truth into awareness and it casts out the deceit, we are with Him!

Every time God brings a person into our life it is an opportunity to give witness to His greatness and show the world who we serve.  Let today be a day for gathering with God!  God will protect you and armor you up as you go into the fields of this world and reap His Kingdom harvest!

King Jesus, if we miss an opportunity have mercy on us and make a way for us to have a second chance to get it right.  Please equip us right now with the scriptures and discernment we will need to bring your goodness and glory on this day and every day moving forward.

THE CONSUMING FIRE OF GOD

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 29, 2023 – 12/29/2023
12 – Perfect Government
29 – Mountains

Hebrews 12:29 (NKJV) – For our God is a consuming fire.

Did you know God dishes out fire equally among believers and non-believers? God uses fire to refine and destroy. That is why in Hebrews 12:29 it calls God a consuming fire. Fire is usually something we need to fear, justifiably so; however, as a believer, you should ask God for His consuming fire to cover you. When God uses fire with His children, He is refining them into a better version closer to the perfected form that He sees us as. Also, throughout the Bible, we have seen several cases where God uses fire to destroy any abomination in His eyes. He cannot allow the non-believers to pollute His perfect DNA.

Declaration: I will continue to strive for God’s consuming fire to help me grow into His perfected form He has created of me. I will praise Him during times of suffering because I know that God’s consuming fire always follows times of grief. Thank you, God, for Your consuming fire in my life!   THE CONSUMING FIRE OF GOD

The meaning of consuming fire is different to believers than it is to non-believers. Our God is a just God, and as a believer, you know that He will always deal with you fairly. When God showed Himself to the children of Israel, He appeared as a consuming fire. Exodus 24:17 (NKJV): The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

How amazing would it be if He showed up as a consuming fire to us? I bet many people would flee out of fear! God does not need to show Himself to us because He sent Jesus to die for our sins, and when Jesus was resurrected from the grave, He sent the Holy Spirit down – God’s fire that lives within us – to be our mentor and guide.

God used His fire throughout the Bible to judge non-believers when they did not follow His law. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? When God was done giving them chance after chance to repent and turn from their sin, the next thing the sinners knew was what happened in Genesis 19:24 (NKJV), “Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of the heavens.”

Remember, we are blessed abundantly when God uses His consuming fire to refine us and make us more. So next time you go through that dark season of suffering, know that God is right there with you, just waiting to send His consuming fire to refine you. Once He has used His fire to purify you, you will walk into a season of light, learning, and growing in His word.

GOD’S KINGDOM RULES THE TIMES & SEASONS

12 – Perfect Government
28 – Times & Seasons

Matthew 12:28 (NKJV) – But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Do you know the power of the Holy Spirit?  Do you know that the same Spirit that raised King Jesus from the dead dwells in you?  The greater your surrender to the Holy spirit, the greater will be the flow of God’s mighty power through your life.

Declaration: I declare in Jesus’ mighty Name that I will live every time and season in great victory. I will seek King Jesus, and I will find Him in every time and season of my life. Have your way, King Jesus! Rule and reign in every time & season in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!GOD’S KINGDOM RULES THE TIMES & SEASONS

God’s anointed Holy Spirit teaches you all things. It is through the power and authority of the Holy Spirit that you can “heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons.  Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8 NKJV)

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) tells us, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Remember that you may walk in God’s presence through worship, praise, prayer, and declaring God’s promises.  The Lord will deliver you from every evil work and preserve you for His kingdom. 

There are 28 times and seasons in Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Go check. I double-dog dare you.  The number 28 is associated with the beginning and the end of certain God-given timelines. Ecclesiastes chapter three lists 28 times and seasons for every purpose under Heaven. We are to be born into His life, and our end should be in His perfect Peace.  We are trained by the Holy Spirit, His Word, and by spending time with Him.

There are seasons of teaching and training. There are times and seasons of growth. Where are you at this time and season?

You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.  Selah.  – Psalm 32:7 (NKJV)

Find King Jesus in every time and season. Look closely; King Jesus is there. He’s always been there. The word cross is in the Bible 28 times, thus guaranteeing our Victory for every time and season in our life.

UNSHAKABLE

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERDecember 27, 2023 – 12/27/2023
12 – Perfect Government
27 – Things Unveiled and Revealed in God’s Presence. Light of Truth.

Hebrews 12:27 (NKJV) – Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

My brother and sisters as God has reconciled us to himself by Christ Jesus. He has also given us the ministry of reconciliation. Where there has been separation and alienation, let’s come together under the blood stained cross at calvary. Three cords are not easily broken with the third cord being Jesus. If we do this, we will be the body of Christ that can not be shaken!

Declaration: We are a people after God’s own heart. Rejoicing and being glad in Him. His joy will flood our body, mind, and soul. People will see Christ’s reflections in us; through our actions and deeds, that our Father in heaven will be glorified! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
UNSHAKEABLE Deuteronomy 32:4-6
He is the Rock: his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is! But they have acted corruptly towards him; when they act so perversely, are they really his children? They are a deceitful and twisted generation.
 
Proverbs 6:12 -15
What are the worthless and wicked people like? They are constant liars, signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye, a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers. Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble. But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.


The godly will rejoice in the Lord and find shelter in Him. And those who do what is right will praise Him. Trust in the Lord at all times. Pour out your heart to Him, for God is our refuge.

HE WALKS WITH ME

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERDecember 26, 2023 – 12/26/2023
12 – Perfect Government
26 – Beloved

Leviticus 12:26 (NKJV) – I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

Father God, You know everything there is to know about me – every moment of my heart and soul. You understand my every thought before it enters my mind. I thank You that You are so intimately aware of me that You read my heart like an open book. You know every Word I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence and every step I’ll take before my journey begins. 

Declaration: I DECLARE IN JESUS’ NAME. You will never abandon me because You keep Your covenants. I am adopted into Your family, and You have a place for me in Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
HE WALKS WITH ME I am Your beloved child, and You’ve gone into my future to prepare a purpose and a destiny for me. You follow behind me in kindness to redeem my past hurts and failures. There is no place I can hide from Your presence because You love me completely and enjoy my company.  (Psalm 139)

Your Word says that You delight in me. (Psalms 147:11)
You are never disappointed in my failures. Because You love me, You convict me, correct me, and train me in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16)
You think good thoughts toward me. I have called on Your name and sought You with my whole heart. You have led me out of captivity to sin and death.
(Jeremiah 29:11 -14)

You have put Your Holy Spirit in me as a deposit, guaranteeing we will be together for eternity. (Ephesians 1:14)
Any voice or thought telling me I am an orphan is a liar. I am loved no matter my circumstances. I am Yours even when I feel alone. Help me to stand upright that my end shall be peace. (Psalms 37:37)

FROM WOMB TO THE TOMB

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERDecember 25, 2023 – 12/25/2023
12 – Perfect Government
25 – Grace for Grace

John 12:25, 24 (NKJV) – Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Merry Christmas, friends! As I was reading John 12 :24-25, I began to think that as soon as the Lord Jesus stepped out of eternity, He entered the womb as a child. It was at that moment He subjected His body to death. He modeled a life here on earth of selflessness, one genuinely submitted to the Father even unto death on the cross.

Declaration: I have true life because of King Jesus who lives in me. I will offer Him gold, frankincense, and myrrh. My acknowledgment of His divine nature, my thanksgiving & worship, and my living in His resurrected life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB You and I are a life that was reproduced from His incorruptible seed through His sacrifice, we are offered life. In a season where the focus is so much about gift giving I encourage you to go back and consider my sermon Presents For His Presence: A Message on Gifts for the King.

King Jesus, it says in Your Word that we are to do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit but in humility count others more significant than ourselves. Thank You, Lord, for your love! Thank You for Your sacrifice! Please help me to live a life that mirrors your example! Your Word in Mark 8: 34-35 reminds me, “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall keep it.”

JESUS, OUR MEDIATOR

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERDecember 24, 2023 – 12/24/2023
12 – Perfect Government
24 – Perfect Government Made Manifest

Hebrews 12:24 (NKJV) – To Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

Redemption is eternal, and time cannot limit the power of redemption. When redemption enters time, it trumps time in every way. By that will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all. And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Declaration: I DECLARE IN THE NAME OF JESUS… I am forgiven and set free from my past! My sins were like a red cloth – staining my every moment., But you have turned back time. You have un-dyed that cloth and have made my today white as wool (Isaiah 1:18)    In Jesus’ name, Amen!
JESUS, OUR MEDIATOR

But this Man [Jesus Christ], after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God
—Hebrews 10:10-12 (see Hebrews 10:5-9 for context)

The redemption of Jesus Christ dealt with the problem of sin “once and for all.” All means all: past, present, and future. His sacrifice for sins was one by which He obtained “eternal Redeeming Your Timeline (Hebrews 9:12). That’s why there is now no need for other sacrifices, as Hebrews 10:18 very plainly tells us: Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

When redemption is applied to your life in your timeline, redemption interrupts and changes how the rules work in time. The blood of Jesus is applied to past, present, and future sins of the person being redeemed. It is one redemption for all time for all sins.
[Jesus] gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity….
—Titus 2:14 KJV

Jesus Christ redeemed us “from all iniquity,” and He obtained it by giving Himself for us. In other words, He was the ransom of our redemption from “all iniquity” and, as already stated, for all time. This is important to understand when it comes to redeeming time. When eternal redemption enters into time and space, the very history of time is changed.

When the blood is applied, sins are forgotten, and there is no more need—ever—for another sacrifice because the sin is eliminated for all time. It changes what is in the flow of time. In the old Covenant, the priest was the mediator and the only one who could enter the tabernacle once a year and atone for the sins of the people. Romans 3 says God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement through the shedding of his blood to be received by faith. Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.

He was beaten so we could be whole. Do you need redemption, healing, or reconciliation? Reach out to Jesus, the mediator.
