STEWARDS OF THE PROMISE
TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBER
October 24, 2023 – 10/24/2023
10 – Perfect Order
24 – Perfect Government Made Manifest
Luke 10:24 (NKJV) – “For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.
There are promises and fulfillments that we are living in right now that those who have gone before us looked toward the future with hope for. We are living in the harvest they planted; we are sowing where they reaped. The fore-fathers of our faith remained steadfast in faith and hope, trusting in the promises of the Lord, even when they didn’t get to see it for themselves.
Declaration: The Lord has established my boundaries within space, time, and matter pleasantly and full of hope. I am blessed to see His promises unfolding! I am living in the age that the great cloud of witnesses longed to see, and Heaven is championing me to be victorious and an overcomer! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
STEWARDS OF THE PROMISE
It is not an accident that we find ourselves alive right now during the year 2023. It’s not coincidental that we happened to be born in this age of technology and Biblical prophecy being played out right before our eyes. The Lord intentionally placed us within this specific timeline because He trusts us to redeem the time and finish well.
Ephesians 5:15-16 (NKJV) – See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
The book of Hebrews contains a powerful chapter known as the Hall of Faith, and right at the end, it sums up the loyal & resolute faith of Biblical characters we grew up reading about, Hebrews 11:39-40, “And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.”
They stewarded the things that the Lord has entrusted us with present day! We are in partnership with them because their perfection is not complete until we finish things up down here! Through the sacrifice and victory of Jesus, we have been equipped to see His enemies be made His footstool! (Psalm 110)
The message of the Bible–our manual–our warranty from the manufacturer, is The Kingdom. The disciples asked Jesus what shall we pray for? He said, “Pray,” that means “desire” for what God has always wanted.
“Our Father who is in Heaven (the unseen) Hallowed (holy) be Your name.” That means you have integrity. You will get what you want. Jesus said, “Our Father who is not on earth, You are full of integrity. You’re holy. You will get what You desire. Your Kingdom, Kings-dominion come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let what You want in the unseen be seen on the scene.
The Kingdom of God shall be within us, empowering us in what He has strategically and intentionally placed us within this time & season to do. Who are we? We contain the Spirit, the likeness of God. We contain the unseen Kingdom within our dirt bodies. We are leaders, managers, rulers, stewards, kings and priests before our God! We will see His will made manifest on this earth, and we will be perfected in Christ Jesus!

EYES TO SEE
October 23, 2023 – 10/23/2023
10 – Perfect Order
23 – Being in the Presence of God
Jesus longs to show us the ways of His Kingdom. When He was resurrected, He chose to spend His last 40 days on earth before ascending to the Father, teaching about the Kingdom of God. (Acts 1:1-3) He wanted to be sure that His Disciples got it, that they took hold of the Kingdom and its operation. How better to do that than to show us? That’s exactly what King Jesus did.
Declaration: The Lord my God has given me an eye to see, and an ear to hear. I will turn my eyes upon Jesus, seeking first His Kingdom and His righteousness.
EYES TO SEEBrother Thomas gets a lot of grief because he liked to see before wholeheartedly getting behind something. Now I’m not saying that the old adage “seeing is believing” is how we should pattern our lives–we walk by faith, not by sight as 2 Corinthians 5:7 tells us – but King Jesus Himself appeared before “Doubting Thomas” so that he could look upon His resurrected body and touch His scars for himself, thereby believing that the Lord Jesus Christ was indeed raised from the dead and the promised Messiah! (John 20:24-29)
When John the Baptist, imprisoned and uncertain, sent word to Jesus asking if He truly was the One from God, Jesus’ reply was, “ “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: the blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” – Matthew 11:4-6
These are the works of the Kingdom of God! His Kingdom had been made manifest, and the compelling point was that it could be seen and heard through these signs and wonders!
God says, “Behold” 1,527 times in Scripture. Behold means “look!”, “open your eyes!” or “pay attention!” The Lord has given us eyes to see with and ears to listen with. (Proverbs 20:12) He expects us to use them! Why? Because there are just certain things that you have to see in order to walk in.
Elisha had to see Elijah’s supernatural departure in order to walk in a double portion of his mantle. Jesus told His followers to believe in Him at the very least because of the works they saw Him do, and that because they saw His works and believed in Him, they would do even greater works! (John 14:7-14)
By doing what we see Jesus did, we bring glory to His Kingdom!
I want to help you to see something today. We are all challenged to see the right thing in the midst of so much smoke and so many mirrors. I want to help you in your focus by telling you what I focus on.
I want to focus on what Jesus is focused on.
Jesus focused on the Kingdom.
Hebrews 12:2
“…Looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our Faith…”

PERSISTENT PURSUIT
October 22, 2023 – 10/22/2023
10 – Perfect Order
22 – Personal Revelation
When we draw near to the Father, we can’t help but be transformed. In His presence there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11), strength & courage (Joshua 1:9), and there is rest (Exodus 33:14). Entering into His presence daily is vital if we are to be a people that have a ready answer about the hope that we carry.
Declaration: I will draw near to God, because He will draw near to me. He is not far from me, for He will never leave nor forsake me!
PERSISTENT PURSUITTo draw near to God is to diligently seek Him. How do we draw near to the Lord? Well, praise God, King Jesus has already taken care of the first step by doing what we couldn’t – Ephesians 2:13 says, “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Once we personally accept the sacrifice of Jesus, the laying down of His sinless life on our behalf, we are reconciled with the Father and are able to be in His presence without fear or the blemish of sin. Having made that decision, the Apostle Peter tells us that not only do we have God with us (Matthew 1:23), but we now have His Holy Spirit–God in us.
Acts 2:38, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
There is an intentional way that we draw near to the Lord through worship, His word, thankfulness, prayer, etc. But there is also the fact that His very Spirit LIVES in us and takes up residence! It’s relationship! Just like we have to maintain and be intentional about the relationships we have with our family and friends, even more so should we be stewarding our relationship with our heavenly Father.
When we seek after Him, the word of God tells us what we can expect:
1. The Lord will draw near to us – James 4:8
2. The Lord will listen to us and we will find Him when we seek Him
– Jeremiah 29:12-13
3. He rewards us for diligently seeking Him – Hebrews 11:6
4. We will be added to – Matthew 6:33
5. We will be saved and He intercedes on our behalf – Hebrews 7:25
6. We receive mercy and grace in times of need – Hebrews 4:16
7. He will hear, forgive, and heal on our behalf – 2 Chronicles 7:14
The Scriptures hold so many examples of how the Lord responds to us when we set our hearts and minds to draw near to Him. Determine in your heart today that you will seek Him, knowing that you will find Him!
Acts 17:27 – God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us.

MIRACLES MADE MANIFEST
October 21, 2023 – 10/21/2023
10 – Perfect Order
21 – Manifest Spirit
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.” Like king David, I have seen God’s goodness made manifest on my behalf! I’ve witnessed the Spirit of the living God show up on my behalf and rescue me from dire circumstances. This is the heritage of His saints! We can cry out to our Father and expect Him to show up and bring order where there is chaos, righteousness where there is sin, and light where there is darkness!
Declaration: I will live and see Your goodness, God, in the land of the living. Your steadfast love abounds towards me when I call on You. Because You are made manifest to me, I will manifest You to others with Your love that is shed abroad in my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
MIRACLES MADE MANIFESTI think there are a lot of people that don’t believe in the power of God today, because they don’t want to be held responsible for walking in the power of God today. They want to be called righteous, but they never see God move. Lord help us! It’s our duty as drop-dead-sold-out-Jesus-freaks to prove and teach the power of God.
There are 34 recorded miracles of King Jesus in the Bible. Thirty-four times He intervened on the behalf of another, ushering in healing where there was sickness or disease, raising the dead, casting out demons, feeding the hungry–He even told Peter to go look in a fish’s mouth for the temple tax payment they had to make! Just recently we saw the power of God with the number 34 stamped all over it.
On our Redemption Roadtrip in South America, we rescued 34 children from the horrors of sex trafficking in 9 days! Hallelujah! Jesus stepped into the midst of each and every one of their lives, delivering and redeeming them from darkness, bringing them into His Kingdom of light. Speaking of light, Matthew chapter 9 tells us of two blind men that called out on the name of the Lord, asking Him to intervene on their behalf that they would recieve their sight. Guess what? I read the book and He miraculously healed them, restoring their vision!
Psalm 34:6 records, “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.” You can say what you want about miracles. You can scoff at the notion that God intervenes in the lives of desperate people. You can reason away every good thing that God has ever done, but know this for certain, miracles are real because Jesus is real. Miracles are amazing because Jesus is amazing!

DEEP IN THOUGHT
October 20, 2023 – 10/20/2023
10 – Perfect Order
20 – Waiting & Expectancy
The Lord takes into account the things that we think. Our words alone are not the only things that He pays attention to. The book of Proverbs tells us, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” King Jesus emphasized the fact that, “whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” The Father expects us to be responsible for our actions, our words, and our thoughts, because they all are laid bare before Him.
Declaration: I will maintain a pure heart in action, words, and thought before the Lord my God. Jesus paid the price for His Spirit to indwell me, because the Holy Spirit is in me, I have self control–a fruit of the Spirit.
DEEP IN THOUGHTGrab hold of a willingness to serve God in your thinking. Just as brother Peter mentioned in 1 Peter 5:2, we have to be of a ready mind, meaning eagerly prepared to serve. If that wasn’t clear enough, he goes on to tell us in verse 8, “Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
So how are you serving the Lord in your mind today? Are there things you will and will not think about? Do you have time of meditation on God’s Word? If the very course of our life is determined by the things we allow to dwell in our hearts, shouldn’t our hearts be full of the things that Philippians 4:8 lists?
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
It is inevitable that our thoughts become words. It is inevitable that our words become actions. Even if we are not the ones acting on our careless words, the kingdom of darkness is all too ready to do so. (Ecclesiastes 10:20)
It’s inevitable that we will be spiritually attacked in the area of our minds at some point this very day, BUT, we do not have to be helpless victims to the mental onslaught. We can be armored up (Ephesians 6:13) and the gatekeepers of our minds, taking captive every thought that rises up against the knowledge of God! (2 Corinthians 10:5)

HAND DELIVERED
October 19, 2023 – 10/19/2023
10 – Perfect Order
19 – Faith
Just as Joshua and Caleb declared to the Israelites in the wilderness, concerning the giants of the land, we too get to declare about the giants we face, “THEY ARE OUR BREAD!” The power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is the very same power that resides in us, making us more than conquerors! We are empowered to overcome the giants of the land that would oppose us taking hold of the promises of the Lord!
Declaration: Father, I will not fear and my heart will not fail me for the things that are coming on the earth. I choose to trust in You, to stand firm on Your promises, and to overcome evil with good instead of being overcome by evil. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
HAND DELIVEREDJoshua & Caleb were able to stand in a place of faith because they knew the faithfulness of the Lord. They were the only two scouts that gave a good report about the territory that Yahweh had given them.
Numbers 14:9 “Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”
Forty years later, they were the only ones qualified to enter into that territory with the new generation, and take dominion. Why? Because they believed the word of the Lord.
What giants are you facing in this season? Understand that it’s only a season, it will not be this same fight forever. However, it is your responsibility and right as a child of the Most High God to seek His word on the matter and to go to WAR with it!
(1 Timothy 1:18)
The Lord has entrusted territory to you and He fully expects you to fight the good fight and take dominion in those places against the giants that would usurp His promises in your life. He has equipped you with His Spirit, His Kingdom, and His authority. Don’t be stagnant in the battle, rush after your enemies because you will overtake them! They are bread for you, because the Lord your God has delivered them into your hand!

JUST FOUNDATIONS
October 18, 2023 – 10/18/2023
10 – Perfect Order
18 – Life More Abundantly
The justice of the Lord is not just to bring judgment where there is unrighteousness, His justice also protects and defends the most vulnerable and forgotten among us. The Lord loves to be the safe-keeper of the helpless. As His people, we get to follow in the footsteps of our Father, and be the hands and feet of King Jesus, overcoming evil with the goodness of God!
Declaration: Father, I will act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly in relationship with You. Thank you for empowering me with Your Holy Spirit, Who leads and guides me into all truth.
JUST FOUNDATIONSJesus shares a parable in the book of Luke that centers on a wronged widow and her persistent cry for justice to an unjust judge.
“There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
The very foundations of His throne are righteousness and justice! Unlike the widow in the parable, our Judge is just and acquainted with our struggles. When offenses come, because they will (Matthew 18:7), when your enemies rise up against you in attempts to overwhelm and overcome you, cry out to the Lord! He will hear you and answer, He will show Himself strong on your behalf. He will deal righteousness where there had been unrighteousness. He will deliver goodness that displaces evil. He will empower you to be an implement of His justice–showing mercy where needed, and declaring judgment against the forces of darkness that King Jesus has already defeated.
Deuteronomy 32:3-4
For I proclaim the name of the Lord: ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.

Humble Beginnings
October 17, 2023 – 10/17/2023
10 – Perfect Order
17 – Overcoming Victory
If we prepare ourselves with humility, in like manner to Queen Esther, who went through a year-long preparation for her one night with the king, the Lord will prepare our hearts to be righteous before Him.
Declaration: Father, I will follow after Jesus in meekness and gentleness. I understand that to be humble and meek, is to place myself under Your authority, that I may be a vessel of Your love and power displayed true to Your nature.
Humble BeginningsSo much in the Kingdom of God and in our relationship with the Lord begins with our operating in humility before Him. We should be good friends with humility because the very One we profess to love came to serve HUMANITY in HUMILITY. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” What a beautiful example Jesus set for us as His followers!
We are not fools to walk in the ways of Jesus concerning meekness. He invites us into relationship with Him relating to His gentle and lowly heart! “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:29) It’s a great place to be! A blessed place to be. Chiefly because our Father resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6)
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. – 1 Peter 5:6
God’s goodness and the face of Jesus are seen on this earth as the selfless acts of His people. You see what He looks like in one less victim of abuse, one less addict, one less dropout, and one less suicide. God’s goodness is seen in one more restoration, one more transformation, one more person walking into something better and higher for their life. As Christians, that’s our job.

That He May Show Himself Strong
That He May Show Himself Strong
Many of us are acquainted with the exhortation of Romans 12:2 concerning our bodies as a living sacrifice to God: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” I’d like to argue that Psalm 51:17 is just as important, if not more so, because it deals with our hearts, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.”
“You shall have no other gods before Me.” – Exodus 20:3
A heart devoted to God gives no place to the things that would raise themselves up as idols in our lives. Our undivided loyalty to Jesus moves Him to show Himself strong on our behalf!
He will make enemies that should defeat you become defeated. He will take sicknesses that should kill you and kill the disease. He will take a head filled with pain and turn it into a mouth filled with praise.

Anointed for His Kingdom
TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBER
October 15, 2023 – 10/15/2023
Romans 10:15 (NKJV)
And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Romans 10:15 underscores the significance of being sent to proclaim the gospel of peace and good tidings. It beautifully portrays those who carry the message of salvation as bearers of hope and heralds of good news. As we reflect on this verse, let us declare our readiness to be sent, to share the message of God’s peace and salvation with a world in need, recognizing the beauty in being instruments of His grace.
Declaration: We declare today that we are willing and ready to be sent, to take upon ourselves the role of messengers of God’s peace and bearers of glad tidings. 
Deuteronomy 10:14 (NKJV)
Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.
We catch a glimpse of the immense sovereignty of our God, who possesses not only the heavens and the earth but also everything within them. This truth underlines His divine authority and ultimate dominion over all creation. Just as God anointed leaders like David for specific purposes in advancing His kingdom, we, too, are called to understand the significance of His anointing in our lives.
The distinction between Saul and David provides us with valuable lessons in this regard. Saul, although anointed as king, failed to recognize the divine purpose behind his anointing. He viewed it as a personal gain rather than a means to advance God’s kingdom. In contrast, David understood that his anointing was about God and His glory, not personal ambition. His life was marked by an unwavering commitment to God’s covenant and a deep reverence for His presence.
As we reflect on these differences between Saul and David, let us declare our commitment to emulate the heart of David. May we see God’s anointing as a call to advance His kingdom, valuing His presence above all else. Let us remember that true anointing is not for personal gain but for the glory of God, and it involves a covenant with the Lord that lasts beyond our lifetime. Just as David’s legacy endures, may our lives be marked by a deep relationship with God and an unwavering commitment to advancing His kingdom, one step at a time, in obedience to His call.
