YOUR DECISIONS COUNT

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERDecember 23, 2023 – 12/23/2023
12 – Perfect Government
23 – Being in the Presence of God
Luke 12:23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.Jesus loves to use parables to get a message across. Luke 12:16 says that He then told them a story (parable): A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He stored up so much that he didn’t have room for all of it. He then built a larger barn, stored it all, and told himself he could take it easy, eat, drink, and be merry!He showed little interest in cultivating a connection with King Jesus or contributing to His wealth to the Kingdom of God. These choices reflected a pattern of unfortunate decisions, casting doubt on his likelihood of reaching heaven.Declaration: In all aspects of my life, I choose to prioritize King Jesus, making wise decisions that align with His teachings. I commit my life guided by wisdom, where King Jesus holds the highest priority in all my actions and decisions. 
YOUR DECISIONS COUNT Hello, my Friends! Deuteronomy tells us, today, I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessing and curses.

Now, I call on Heaven and Earth to witness your choice. Of course, we have to maintain our physical health and appearance. Our physical bodies can only live, on average, about three weeks without food. Clothing is high on our list of priorities as well. These things are necessary for our existence here on earth. They should not supersede our relationship with God. God must be our first love, and where our hearts are, our money will also be. Our choices in life do make a difference.
Colossians tell us, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so continue to live in Him. Keep your roots deep in Him and have your lives built on Him. Make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying Him, and committing yourself firmly to Him. Wow! This is so good.

HOW MUCH MORE?

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 22, 2023 – 12/22/2023
12 – Perfect Government
22 – Personal Revelation

Luke 12:22 (NKJV) – Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.”

“Mirror, Mirror on the wall”…We live in a culture where the focus is your image—what you look like, what you wear, what you eat, the kind of house you live in, to the type of car you drive. The world is constantly putting before us our need for more. However, their motive for marketing is built around lack, the very opposite of the Lord’s heart for us!

Declaration: Because I follow You, King Jesus, I do not have to be afraid. I live according to the Kingdom of God and its resources because I am His child. God Almighty is a good Father, and gives freely to His children. I will ask and receive, seek and find, knock, and the door will be opened to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

HOW MUCH MORE?

The Kingdom of God touched down on earth when King Jesus stepped foot on it. When Jesus went about doing good and destroying the works of the devil, He was proclaiming that the Kingdom of the LORD God had arrived. The kingdom of darkness was served notice, and the kingdoms of man were superseded before they even knew it. Matthew 4:17 NKJV, “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.“

In direct opposition to the kingdoms and the systems of this world, God’s Kingdom operates at a heavenly standard. God Almighty tells us in Isaiah, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways.” With a King such as this, the Kingdom of God is far greater than the base ways of this world.

As His children, you and I have access to this Kingdom and are commanded to live according to its ways and its systems. We’ve got the leg up! So when King Jesus goes on in the book of Luke and says, “Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?…Consider the lilies, how they grow…If then God so clothes the grass, …how much more will He clothe you,” pay close attention to His closing statements!

“Do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.” – Luke 12 (NKJV)

A FORCE FOR GOOD

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 21, 2023 – 12/21/2023
12 – Perfect Government
21 – Manifest Spirit

Romans 12:21 (NKJV) – Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

My friends, unless you’ve had your head stuck in the sand somewhere or you believe the lie “it’s just politics,” you know something else is at work here. Ephesians 6:12, “For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in the dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” We are in the evil day and God has given us the strategy to overcome in His scriptures. God is telling us that good will win.

Declaration: I will have the heart of God and a true concern for others. I will act with compassion and do good. Thanks be to God who causes us to triumph, and I will win in life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!A FORCE FOR GOOD

God who is in our past, present, and future and is very much intimate with every detail of our life from start to finish. He is giving us wisdom and instruction from His point of view, because He knows the end from the beginning.

If you don’t know the God I’m talking about, His name is Jesus! When He was here on this earth. He suffered many things on the cross at calvary for us. He has destiny for you, so ask him into your heart if you have not done so already! Through Jesus you will get to know God the father, and you will have the Holy Spirit as a helper to walk you through this life.

Galatians 6:9
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of Blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone. Especially to those in the family of faith.

Joseph said in Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people. No, don’t be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children.”

My friends, let’s not be impressed with the things the devil does but be impressed with the goodness of God Almighty. Favor and Blessings on you in the mighty name of King Jesus!

ENLARGED BORDERS

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 20, 2023 – 12/20/2023
12 – Perfect Government
20 – Waiting & Expectancy

Deuteronomy 12:20 (NKJV) – “When the LORD your God enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.”

There is a way that you operate in the wilderness that you don’t take with you into the Promised Land. In the wilderness, you only move when the Cloud moves. You stop when the Cloud stops. You hang out around the Pillar of Fire at night, and the next day, you do it all over again. But, in the Promised Land you go, go, go because you have a green light until the Lord gives you a red light.
In the Promised Land, the Lord follows along behind you and backs you up. He gives you houses you didn’t build, vineyards you didn’t plant, and wells you didn’t dig.

Declaration: I will not give place for evil to occupy the territory the Lord has given me. I will take dominion in the places King Jesus has entrusted to me. I will fear the Lord and turn away from foolish doctrines that encourage me to neglect my borders. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

ENLARGED BORDERS
People who are serious about their borders, are people that understand their place in the Kingdom. They are the same people who are willing to selflessly advance His Kingdom. Blessed peoples do this, and they continue to advance in their blessing.

The portion of your inheritance is the life God has trusted you with and the blessing you have within your specific territory. With territory comes borders. Because the Lord has given you a domain where you’re to take dominion, you have to know how to protect what He has given you.

The only way you will defend your borders and fight for the goodness of God in your inherited places of promises is to look at everything through the lens of King Jesus. If we look for Jesus in everything and are determined to honor Him in every area of our lives, then we’ll be operating in the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom. There is a Godly wisdom that comes to you that you must cooperate with in defending your borders and prospering in your given promised places.

DIVINE DIRECTIVE

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 19, 2023 – 12/19/2023
12 – Perfect Government
19 – Faith

Exodus 12:19 (NKJV) – For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.

The Israelites were fruitful and had multiplied into a nation. The blessing of God had begun to make them a threat to Pharaoh, who was afraid they’d overturn Egyptian rule. God Almighty delivered the Hebrews out of Egypt. But before their great escape, He gave them specific instructions on how to align with Him and His agenda instead of the wicked agenda they were surrounded by.

Declaration: I will come under God’s protection through the blood of Jesus and the host of heaven. I will seek God’s face and turn away from any evil way within me. I will listen to and obey the voice of God and the instruction of His Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

 DIVINE DIRECTIVE
God ain’t playing. All the Church’s enemies — God’s enemies — will ultimately be defeated. Even in the darkest days, when it seems evil is prevailing, it’s not. It can’t. Why? Because long before the chiefs of Israel put their feet on the necks of their foes, God promised us One who would put his foot on the neck of our greatest foe.

However, the Lord does require us to operate according to the laws of His Kingdom. Listen, the enemy knows the rules. Just look at him going before God in the Book of Job. Right at the beginning, we’re shown court in session before the throne of God Almighty. The enemy could go no further than what God would allow.

The Hebrews were instructed to place the blood of a lamb on their doorposts in order for the death angel to pass over their family and household. The kings of Israel were commanded to write copies of the Torah and read it so that he would not depart from its teachings and would fear the Lord. Jesus tells us to love our neighbors the same way we love ourselves.

It never fails, when we depart from the direction of God, we tend to go real wrong, real fast. Don’t be like Samson. Instead of breaking every single directive the Lord gives to lead and guide your life, choose life! Choose blessing! Don’t walk in a curse by going your own way. Instead, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
– Proverbs 3:5-6

SPEAK LIFE

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 18, 2023 – 12/18/2023
12 – Perfect Government
18 – Life More Abundantly

Proverbs 12:18 (NKJV) – There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health.

Our words matter. Jesus tells us that we will be held accountable for every word we speak in the gospel of Matthew. James, a brother of Jesus, reminds us that both “sweet water” and “bitter water” cannot come from the same fountain; we can’t speak both blessings and curses. Choose life!

Let’s pray and trust God Almighty like King David, who cried out, “Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.” – Psalms 141:3-4 NKJV

Declaration: I will let no unwholesome word come out of my mouth, but only that which is good for building up, that it may give grace to the listeners. I will speak words that edify, exhort, and comfort those in my sphere of influence. I will speak with grace, seasoned with salt, that I may know how to answer with wisdom. ! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

SPEAK LIFE

Only King Jesus has the words of life. Wise men learn to rule their tongue, and their words profit others. So, what does your language look like? Are your words encouraging, or are they hurting others? Our words reveal the condition of our hearts, so let’s be intentional that the words and meditation of our hearts be pleasing to God.

Death and life are in the power of our tongues. We cannot speak recklessly and expect to be the people that the Lord has called us to be. If we’re going to represent Him, we should speak like Him. Do not get caught up in gossip or slander! “For from within, [that is] out the heart of men, come base and malevolent thoughts and schemes, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, adulteries, acts of greed and covetousness, wickedness, deceit, unrestrained conduct, envy and jealousy, slander and profanity, arrogance and self-righteousness and foolishness (poor judgment). All these evil things [schemes and desires] come from within and defile and dishonor the man.”
– Mark 7:21-23 AMP

Do not be a part of that trash! We’re a holy people of a Holy God and with a holy purpose. Our words should sound more like heaven than they do like hell.

PROPHECY IN PARTNERSHIP

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 17, 2023 – 12/17/2023
12 – Perfect Government
17 – Overcoming Victory

Matthew 12:17 (NKJV) – That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet.

700 years before Christ’s birth, Isaiah prophesied, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Declaration: We will believe God in the waiting. We who put our hope in Him will not be ashamed. We join in faith with those who have gone before us into the great cloud of witnesses; we will see the fulfillment of God’s promises! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

PROPHECY IN PARTNERSHIP

The government is upon Jesus’ shoulders and He is working righteousness, and justice right here on earth. With the natural eye this seems impossible, but with the lens of faith we know that what is impossible with man is possible with God! Let me encourage you to look with spiritual eyes, praying and believing in God—His Kingdom is operating here on earth.

The first prophecy promising the arrival of Jesus Christ was from the Father in the garden. “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” The word of God stands true! Over 2,000 years ago, King Jesus was born to a virgin. He took on hell and death and died on the Cross, defeating sin in the process. Emmanuel, God with us!

Now, after the finished work of King Jesus, you and I have the ability to individually hear from God and make prophetic declarations from the revelation word He gives to us! Jesus said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”And Paul tells us to, Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 

We get to partner with God the Father by speaking out the Truth of His Kingdom and His nature. When the Lord sends forth His word, it does not return to Him void, but it accomplishes His purposes! Line up your mouth with the word of God in this decade of the pey, the Hebrew letter that depicts a mouth. Being the 17th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it is a reminder that through our words, we can experience overcoming victory here on earth!

A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. – Proverbs 18:20-21 NKJV

THE DECEPTION PROBLEM

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 16, 2023 – 12/16/2023
12 – Perfect Government
16 – The Love of God

Job 12:16 (NKJV) – With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His.

The Father has all authority in heaven, on earth and in hell. He is perfect in all His ways, holy and sovereign. When you uncover deception in your own life, do not feel defeated! Trust that the same Lord who knows you knows your deceiver, too.

God is just. You can bank on Jesus bringing restitution back to you, my friend! There is no doubt that He will work things out for your good. Pray for those who despitefully use you because vengeance belongs to the Lord!

Declaration: The love of God brings healing and truth against any deception that has caused strife or bondage in my life. Lord, if I am holding a grudge against my deceiver, help me to release them to You because You have authority over them. Your timing is perfect. Your will is perfect. In Your perfect love You created me, and I belong to You! In Jesus’ name, Amen!THE DECEPTION PROBLEM
People that are deceived don’t know that they’re deceived. That’s why the word of God is absolutely essential to the life of a believer. Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. He is the Word of God made flesh. We have to have the Word as part of our lives on a daily basis. The darker and darker this world gets, the easier and easier it will become to be deceived. The Bible warns those of us living in these last days, Do Not Be Deceived.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. – Ephesians 5:6 (NKJV) Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”– 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NKJV) 

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. – 1 John 3:7-8 (NKJV) 

Like King Jesus, you and I are here to destroy the works of the devil. We can’t do that if we’re caught up in the false theology and doctrines of demons. Our compass, our “north star” is the word of God. Do not get away from His word! Make it a treasure of your life because in the end, His word remains, and it will accomplish that which He sent it out to do!  

Stand on the Word, pray the Word, memorize the Word. Keep it in your heart so that deception has no place to land! Be brave, my friends! We were made for such a time as this.

WISDOM & STATURE

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 15, 2023 – 12/15/2023
12 – Perfect Government
15 – Rest & Overcoming Death

Proverbs 12:15 (NKJV) – The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.

There are times when what we see or the lens that we look through seems perfectly fine. Thank God for Kingdom people that we can trust to come alongside us and speak to us with wisdom and truth. Thank God for His Holy Spirit that leads us into all truth and teaches us all things. We don’t always get it right, but once we know the truth, will we heed the voice of wise counsel, or carry on in what looked right to us?

Declaration: I will walk by faith and not by sight. I will trust in the Lord, my God, and not lean on my own understanding. Because I listen to wisdom, wisdom will watch over me, and understanding will protect me from making poor choices. I will be rescued from evil in disguise, because wisdom will win my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
WISDOM & STATURE 
Perpetual increase is a Kingdom principle. We go from strength to strength, from faith to faith, and from glory to glory. While some things have their cut off dates—prophecy, tongues, knowledge—others have no limit—love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control! (1 Corinthians 13 & Galatians 5:22-23) 

Then there are others that not only increase, but they last forever. But now these three things abide: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love. – 1 Corinthians 13:13 (BSB) And then there is Wisdom, which is eternal.

In the beginning I was there, for God possessed me even before he created the universe. From eternity past I was set in place, before the world began. I was anointed from the beginning. – Proverbs 8:22-23 (TPT) While there are others that belong on that eternal list with wisdom, like love, our focus is on wisdom. During His time here on earth, King Jesus increased in wisdom and stature. In all our getting, we’re told to get wisdom and understanding.

When the Father tells us that His ways are high above our ways and His thoughts are high above our thoughts, what makes up that gap is wisdom! Thanks be to God that He freely offers it to us! James encourages us to ask Him for wisdom because He will give it to us generously. The second chapter of Proverbs tells us to cry out for comprehension and intercede for insight. Friends, we are responsible to have a godly lens and worldview.

The Lord has given those things to us to steward righteously. Cry out to Him for wisdom! Do not be foolish and be a prime target for deception. The Lord is willing and able!

TRUE NORTH

TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

December 14, 2023 – 12/14/2023
12 – Perfect Government
14 – Generational Promises & The Fear of the Lord

II Chronicles 12:14 (NKJV) – And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD.

Evil is ready and waiting to set up camp in the places where we do not take action. God Almighty told Cain that sin crouches at the door, desiring to overpower him, but that he must be master over it instead!

Unfortunately, Cain chose differently. But what was the door that let sin in? It was choosing to do evil instead of what is right. It was letting wickedness take dominion of his heart instead of intentionally giving his heart over to God.

Declaration: I will enter into Your gates with thanksgiving and into Your courts with praise! I will draw near to You, because I know You will draw near to me. I will turn my heart to seek You day to day as You empower me to make right decisions that glorify You. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
TRUE NORTH 
The next time you look up to the heavens and you search the firmament for a familiar star or constellation—Orion, Cygnus the Swan, or maybe Virgo the Virgin with a Branch in her belly—look for Polaris, the North Star. When you find it, you’ll see its not the biggest, nor the brightest. In fact, its really not all that impressive. Yet, while it remains stationary, everything else rotates around it. It’s a picture of King Jesus.

Just as Polaris remains still while all the other stars and constellations rotate around it, Jesus sits on His throne, and the 24 elders surround Him and cry out His praises! The story in the heavens is the same as the story in the Bible because the Author is the same. Hallelujah! 

Like so many courageous men and women that ran for the North out of slavery here in the United States, if you can find the North Star, you’ll never be lost. Friends, if we can seek after Jesus, we will never be lost.

If we have a heart to seek Him & a heart to know Him, we will not be caught up in the WOKE-ism of this world and the deception of evil. Do not be seduced!

That trash is not for you because you have a heart for the King. King Jesus is our True North. Seek Him while He may be found. When we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.

Because we are His, we hear His voice and follow Him—not the voice of the wicked and the unrighteous of this age. We will seek Him with our whole hearts and find Him! In the name of King Jesus, Amen!
