The Prophetic Voice

I saw this video post in Youtube and I loved how the speaker shared about becoming a prophetic voice. He and his team definitely gave some new age and occultic people a thug when they hear God's audible message through their lives.


True to its message, we as prophetic people can be a voice so loud, even that the oppress will hear and be changed. It is impossible for those who experienced the awesome power of God unchanged, unmoved and unsettled in the Father's love.

Become the voice that sets people free, enjoy the experience and move on to your destiny!

Learnings About Signs & Wonders

I know that I've been talking too much about Forerunners and what God has in store for this year - and the years to come. I've been praying and looking into this topic for quite some time and it's actually about the "signs and wonders" the book of Acts talks about.

I'm a neophyte when it comes to this kind of topic. Of course, I believe God still does heal the sick, raise the dead and among other things. But I never personally seen these things. Perhaps, that's the reason why I wanted to study this part of scriptures and fully grasp the idea of a real Forerunner - one who walks in the anointing that releases the signs and wonders God foretold long ago.

Looking into Acts, here are the accounted miraculous happenings from the start of Christianity to the end of Acts 28: 


Here's what I've shared earlier about moving into the anointing:
  1. Signs and wonders were the results when God's word is preached.
  2. Miracles happen when faith is activated.
  3. There is always result when declared with faith

I also focused on what I learned from Ptr. Hiram Pangilinan's video teaching through Youtube about healing based on the gospel, which are:
  1. God wants to heal you
  2. Jesus has paid for it - 1 Pet; 2:22 By His wounds we are healed
  3. The Holy Spirit anoints believers to heal
  4. God the father anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and was able to heal all people
  5. The Holy Spirit is the same Holy Spirit that he gave all believers after the ascension
  6. There is no junior Holy Spirit, all of us has the Holy Spirit within us in all believers

Pastor Hiram also mentioned that sometimes God doesn't move through us because God is imprisoned in the mind of the unbelieving believers. This simply means, that when we start to doubt if God can do these things, it actually hinders us to increase our faith and pray for our miracle.

I believe that 2014 is a year of breakthrough and part of it is the results of experiencing the signs and wonders.

Let's all move into a new season of the Forerunners where God will use to do things that completely will overrun with our natural mindsets!

Be blessed!

Devotional: Choosing Rightly For A Bright Future

Luke 9:61-62: Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Looking forward to a year of breakthrough? We first need to have the will to let go of our past - mistakes, failures and misgivings. We also need to let go of our achievements, goals and experiences. It's hard,huh?
Like a farmer's plow,it has to be steered by focusing on where it is going. The driver of the plow pushes itself forward to cultivate the land. The same goes with our relationship with the Lord, we need to move forward to and correct our steps to grow in him.
We then decide to toil for a better future by starting it right with God. We need to focus on Jesus and His words through the bible to grow, move forward and experience a fruitful life.
Our experiences determines where we are but can never determine where our future is heading. Where do you want to go from here? What do you want to accomplish? What do you need to let go to move forward?
These are beneficial questions for us as we start 2014 right and my prayer, we answer correctly and act on it as if it's the end of the year and we can hear Jesus' words "well done, good and faithful servant."

2014: The Year of Extravagant Favor & Great Reward

It's 2014 and its definitely a new year to behold. Like last year, I'd like to pen what I believe God is sharing to me for the year up ahead. But before that, I'd like to share my status for 2014:
"We can never rewrite our past but we can pen a better future…"
If 2013 became a year of great challenges, let 2014 be a year to behold God's promises. Let us experience amazing things with our walk with Him. For apart from him, we are nothing.
Let us choose wisely how we move from this season; it will define how our future will be. But in all these things, let us always learn from our past and pave in the New Year with a better perspective of things and of things to come.
The Holy Spirit has impressed to me a lot of things that I often think if it's really important to share all things at once or do I need to post it fragment by fragment.
Indeed, what I can only say is that God is making all things new for this year – and that includes this blog ministry that I have. Before 2013 came to a close, I've been reflecting on two things that God was impressing for quite some time. These are the phrases "extravagant favor" and "a season of great rewards".
A Year Of Extravagant Favor
Psalms 84:9 "Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one." (NIV)
Our father in heaven will always look on us with favor. And if we desire and honor the Lord's will, He will give favor in our personal walk with him.
To be honest about it, I always believe that every year is a year of the Lord's great favor but there is something about 2014 that will bring in to light God's favor for his children.
I strongly believe that this year is filled with exciting opportunities to minister to people, to train others and bring other young ministers to a new season. It's also a year wherein we get to see God move in signs and wonders as we minister prophetically to others. This new move of God will differentiate His people from those false ministries and old wine skins.
This season is also a season of unfolding and revelation, to many who have been called by the Lord and were hidden away for this great day. It's a year of the "faceless and unnamed witnesses" of what Hebrews 11 has promised.
A Season of Great Rewards
1 Corinthians 3:8 "He who plants and he who waters are one and each will receive his wages according to his labor."

I believe God will also bring his servants into a season of great rewards – wherein we see God's miraculous provision for the ministers of the gospel, for the past spoke of sacrifice but the future beholds the testimony of provision and gifts. The year will also unfold great rewards of rest, recuperation and healing for those who are in need of it.

Many will also see the fruit of their toils for the gospel; they'll also see opportunities open up because of sacrifices done in the past. It's a time of reaping, of overflow and of harvest.

The heritage of the Lord will always be good, pleasing and overflowing. We will see the start of the great harvest for the end time season. We will also see the beginning of greater exploits from one season to another because the Lord has provided.

Let this 2014 be our year, the year of the Forerunners to arise and take hold of what was promised. A year to make known among the nations the greater things God has stored for his people. But let this year 2014 also be a year of gathering the cubs, of tearing down the walls of mediocrity and sin; of rebuilding and building up others that they may walk in grace and mercy.

2014 will speak of opportunities to explore, of determining what track to take and which one to let go. It will be a year of harvesting to those whose labor has brought them where they are. It is also a year of greater measure – of acceleration and multiplication.

What do all these things mean?

It will not be an easy year for many of us but grace and mercy from the Lord will sustain us. This is where we differ from others who have walked astray. It will be a year wherein we see God moved mightily in our ministries and where God will vindicate, highlight and build what He has established for us.
And "signs and wonders" will follow the footsteps of those who ministers the gospel of grace. It is the year of the Lord's favor and those whose walks are blameless will carry the favor of our King and bring in the blessing of His great rewards!

Surely, this is indeed an exciting year for the Forerunners and a year to behold the Lord's favor!

Blessings!
