and myself Emma Stark as we just 3 00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:16,600 start to release the beginning of the year blessing to you. 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,720 Join us for another episode of What the Prophets Say. 5 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:31,360 Happy New Year one and all and welcome to a gloriously rich and transformative 2024. 6 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,120 It's another episode of What the Prophets Say with me, Emma Stark. 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,320 Oh, what have I changed my name at the beginning of the year? 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,320 It's a Stark. 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:46,960 Emma Starka and the sidekick is Louise Reed. 10 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,320 Happy New Year Louise Reed and Happy New Year Emma Stark. 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,680 How are you doing? 12 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,680 Very good. 13 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,680 Did you have a good Christmas? 14 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,640 Yes, marvelous. 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,480 Lots of glorious life, joyous memories, family and children. 16 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,480 Wonderful. 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,960 And all of that was rich. 18 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,400 So here we go. 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,320 Prophets love the beginning of the year. 20 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:15,000 We are at our busiest at the beginning of the year. 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,120 Everybody wants the word of the Lord. 22 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,160 Deep and rich and accurate and encouraging. 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Well, yeah, I don't know that I can promise all of that. 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,800 I know exactly. 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,800 That's what people are looking for. 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Well, yeah, if you will. 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,200 Well, here in the British Isles, it's cold and the weather is not good at this time of 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,200 year. 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,200 The weather outside is frightful. 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,200 Anyway, OK. 31 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,200 I'm inside eating trifle. 32 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,200 What? 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,200 That's not the word. 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,200 No, it's not. 35 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,200 But we always make up our own words. 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Do you like trifle? 37 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,200 Do you know something? 38 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,200 It's really strange. 39 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,200 I don't like trifle. 40 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,200 But my husband does because it's a tradition in their family. 41 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,200 And do you know the other day, oh, a couple of weeks ago, I said to him, what would you 42 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,200 like for your dinner? 43 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,440 And he said, well, for afters, for pudding, sweet, whatever you call it and wherever you 44 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,440 come from. 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,440 He said, I really fancy some trifle. 46 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,440 So I didn't make it. 47 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,960 I went to Marks and Spencer's, which is just a quick advert for a wonderful supermarket. 48 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,680 Other high street shops are available. 49 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,680 Yes, yes, indeed. 50 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,680 And I went to the supermarket. 51 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Other shops are available. 52 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,680 Yes, yes, indeed. 53 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,680 And bought him a trifle. 54 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,920 Do you know, it's funny, we used to have it every Christmas. 55 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,000 My granny would make trifle as a pudding, as a dessert. 56 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,720 It's a very British tradition, isn't it? 57 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,000 I cannot stand it. 58 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000 I don't like it. 59 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000 I cannot stand damp sponge. 60 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Soggy. 61 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,800 Soggy, wet sponge. 62 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:43,760 And for some reason, you used fruit out of a tin rather than fresh fruit and then jelly 63 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,760 on it. 64 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,440 And it's like it's like layers of a child's birthday party. 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,320 Gone wrong with sprinkles on the top. 66 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,600 I know there are some more elevated versions of it, but I think I'm so put off. 67 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,600 I love custard. 68 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Crowned with tea tree. 69 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,600 Yeah, I like custard. 70 00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,600 I love cream. 71 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,600 But not cold. 72 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,600 No, not cold. 73 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,600 With soggy sponge. 74 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,600 No, no, here we are. 75 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:11,120 So sorry if trifle is your favourite dessert and you're into your British traditions, 76 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,160 but this Irish contingent. 77 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,160 Yeah, no. 78 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Are not up for it. 79 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,240 There are better puddings to be had. 80 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,480 There are better desserts to be had. 81 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,480 Absolutely. 82 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,960 Having said that, we'll not get inundated with recipes. 83 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,960 Quite, quite. 84 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:31,480 But I think for the Queen's Jubilee, before she exited this mortal coil, there was an 85 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,080 award-winning trifle to celebrate her last big. 86 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,760 And apparently it was magnificent. 87 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,280 And is she a trifle fan? 88 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,920 No, she's British Queen. 89 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Even if she hated it, she could never admit it. 90 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,640 No, that's true. 91 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360 I mean, she lost her crown if she said she hated trifle. 92 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,800 Are we even losing viewers by saying we hate trifle? 93 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920 I hope not. 94 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Some viewers may even be saying, quick Google, what is trifle? 95 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,040 It's not worth it. 96 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,640 It's just not worth it. 97 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,560 But I have to say, my publisher at Destiny Image, he asked me to produce trifle for him 98 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,840 when he was last here because it's such a British thing that I don't even do it. 99 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080 I'm looking through the window to my production team. 100 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,560 Producer Todd, is trifle, do you get it, in America? 101 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,560 He doesn't even know. 102 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,560 He doesn't even know. 103 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,560 You're Californian, Todd. 104 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Surely you know. 105 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,080 I can't hear him through the glass. 106 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,560 He's just pulling faces at me. 107 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,560 Have you? 108 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,760 I ask him, this is done in sign language through glass. 109 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Have you eaten trifle? 110 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Yes. 111 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Do you like it? 112 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,760 No, he likes it. 113 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,760 He likes it. 114 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,920 That's two Americans who like it. 115 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,480 Well, it's only men so far that we have that like trifle. 116 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Larry Sparks, my husband and Todd. 117 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,560 Well, there we go. 118 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,120 Are you keeping the trifle industry afloat? 119 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,120 He's nodding. 120 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,840 OK, this new year, we're going to have weeks of telling you what it's all about, but we'll 121 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:58,800 give you a starter for 10, which is from a British show, but it just means the introduction. 122 00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,800 Yes. 123 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,160 This is going to be a year of your greatest transformation. 124 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,040 It's the year of the greatest transformation of the people of God becoming the Ecclesia. 125 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,360 It's the year of the greatest rate of glory of God being visible in the earth. 126 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,140 It's also a year of your greatest persecution. 127 00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:26,760 The transformation will be yours like no other time or any other year you have ever experienced. 128 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,520 You are going to notice measurably the change in yourself. 129 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,840 And of course, when we look at the word transformation or we're transformed, it's three times in 130 00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:37,840 scripture. 131 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,640 You know it three times in scripture. 132 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,660 You get it in the Corinthians. 133 00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:45,280 You are transformed from one degree of glory to another. 134 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,840 You get it in the transfiguration. 135 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,680 Same word transformed. 136 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,520 You also get it in the renewing of your mind. 137 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,520 Romans 12. 138 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,040 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 139 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:03,240 This word that's three times in the New Testament isn't just a little bit of a light wash that 140 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,920 starts to speak over your life. 141 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,320 Oh, here have a little bit of an upgrade. 142 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,600 It's a marvelous level of miraculous shift. 143 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,400 It is the metamorphosis of going from a caterpillar to a butterfly. 144 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,880 It's a level of radiant glory. 145 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:26,160 And so when you see the transfiguration of Christ on Mount Hermon and you see his elevated 146 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,000 status and his face glowing and Elijah and Moses coming down to talk to him and Jesus 147 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,240 is transfigured in their midst, we start to unpack the fullness of what that concept of 148 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,880 transformation means. 149 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,920 It is a level of your personal transformation or corporate transformation. 150 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,120 It's a level of glory that is going to come to you in the midst of seasons of war, church 151 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,640 splits and great sacrifice. 152 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,760 You and I Louise Reed and all of our listeners are going to go through glory transformation. 153 00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,760 Yeah. 154 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,240 Let's get on board with that Emma. 155 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Yes. 156 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,920 I mean, that's brilliant exhortation. 157 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,920 I love it. 158 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,920 Yes. 159 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,640 And I think we're going to have an agreement and not just a mental assent, but a heart. 160 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,200 Sorry, the pipe started to rattle in the building. 161 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,720 I think God's in agreement. 162 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,520 The plumbing started to shudder. 163 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,520 That was quite significant. 164 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,520 It was significant. 165 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,520 I think that was a move of God. 166 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Do we take it as an endorsement? 167 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,080 I think so. 168 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Okay. 169 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:34,000 But I think where we're going is we're wanting to get on board and believe that needs to 170 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,880 be our decree this year over ourselves. 171 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,080 Transformation is happening. 172 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Glory to glory, faith to faith, strength to strength. 173 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,600 But we need it not as a concept. 174 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480 We're hungry for it as a reality. 175 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:54,960 And I mean, you already quoted this, but you know, Romans 12, one, you know, it comes, 176 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:03,960 there's Paul urging us to sacrifice ourselves because there is the reward of the sacrifice 177 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,120 which is transformation. 178 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,760 I do think this is a year of sacrifice for the transformation. 179 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,200 I think that let's talk about New Year's resolutions. 180 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Do you make them traditionally? 181 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,200 Do you know what? 182 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,200 When I was a child, I did. 183 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,200 It was kind of as if everybody did it. 184 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,200 You all had your New Year's resolution. 185 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200 It was always, you know, get fit, get skinny and get happy. 186 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,200 You know, that kind of thing. 187 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,200 But no, not anymore. 188 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,200 No, no, no, no. 189 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,200 No, we're at the other end of that. 190 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,200 Yeah. 191 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,280 And I do think that it's well known that they never hold. 192 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,280 You know, we understand that. 193 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:45,520 And I think it's the sense that we have got to take seriously the level of glory God wants 194 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,520 to put within us. 195 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:54,600 And if you make a resolution, the likelihood is we don't want to be in the same situation 196 00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:01,720 as you are in the resolution, the likelihood is we don't understand the price that you 197 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,360 pay to make them happen. 198 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,360 Exactly. 199 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,720 And so I do think I would call this year the year of the rituals of seriousness in the 200 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,800 sense of there's a reward for sacrificing. 201 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,360 There's a reward for dispensing with my life. 202 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:27,760 There's a reward where I want to partner with the gain of working with God in His glory. 203 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,280 I want to partner with the gain of the increasing of His government on the earth. 204 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,000 I want to be part of what He's doing. 205 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,820 But to be transformed, I have to get comfortable with the fact that the status quo in my life 206 00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:42,380 will have to shift. 207 00:09:42,380 --> 00:09:47,600 And that will mean that I lose or I sacrifice something for the joy or the reward of partnering 208 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,040 with transformation and another level of His glory. 209 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,080 So if I just say to the Lord today, yes, I want to be part of your glory. 210 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,080 Yes, I want transformation. 211 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Yes, I see that's open to me in 2024. 212 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,080 And I just I'm flippant with it. 213 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,280 Then you know that there's no ritual of seriousness. 214 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,560 So there's no ability to be sustained in that. 215 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:11,920 So you end up feeling like, oh, well, the prophets weren't real or the prophets were 216 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,240 false because they told me glory transformation and I never got it. 217 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,680 But there's always conditions to what God is doing. 218 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:26,520 And the condition is, are you prepared to be brave enough to lay down and dispense with 219 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:33,640 your life to pay the price for the transformation and the trust of God of His glory and transformation 220 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680 to sit on you? 221 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:41,360 And so I think don't make New Year's resolutions that you're not prepared to pay the price 222 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,360 to make happen. 223 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,360 Absolutely. 224 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160 I mean, I think when we think about New Year's resolutions, we're often thinking about the 225 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,160 goal. 226 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,480 We're thinking about the prize at the end. 227 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,000 That's a good thing to do in in any level of transformation. 228 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,080 That's a good thing to do. 229 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,440 We need something to see. 230 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,320 And that's a really good prayer that we can pray going into 2024. 231 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,760 But actually, God, where is the transformation? 232 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,760 What's it going to look like in my life so that you can have that sight? 233 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,480 But of course, even within the word resolution is the word resolve. 234 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,880 You must be resolved about it because it's going to take three things. 235 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,200 It's going to take faith. 236 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,320 It's going to take obedience. 237 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,960 It's going to take sacrifice. 238 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,960 And that hasn't changed in the whole of scripture. 239 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,080 Right from the beginning of time. 240 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,800 It's always been about faith, obedience and sacrifice. 241 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,940 But that is the journey. 242 00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:44,200 The journey of sacrifice in order to have the reward of the transformation of this year. 243 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,200 Yes. 244 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,120 So there's a couple of prayers I want to put in your minds and offer to you as something 245 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880 that you can grab hold of and own. 246 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,040 I always think when we start the New Year, I want to pray this. 247 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:01,520 God, anything that happened to me last year that is not a glory, that is a pain or that 248 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:08,280 is a trauma, I now cut it off from holding or shaping me in this year. 249 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,200 That you actually even stand up and you bring the sword of the Lord down and you say that 250 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,560 which was last year's thing, it does not cross over in Jesus' name. 251 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:24,760 But you also say anything I learned, anything that was for my benefit, anything that was 252 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:32,040 a model of the kingdom that I acquired, I pull that into this year fully with me. 253 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:39,200 And so you release the prayers of division and you divide between that which was a ball 254 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,920 and chain or that which was an attack or that which was a slander or a belittling, that 255 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,720 which was an ungodly loss of your reputation, that which was a robbery spirit against your 256 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:58,840 finances and you forbid its transfer into this calendar here. 257 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:04,480 And there is a sense that you raise yourself up in a warrior place at the beginning of 258 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,240 the year and you say that does not come with me. 259 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,560 That kind of in the words of Gandalf shall not pass. 260 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:18,040 And you bring the sword of the Lord down and I think we hit these moments every so often 261 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,020 where we have to pray like that. 262 00:13:20,020 --> 00:13:26,880 We have to say I'm not going to keep that burden of yesterday loaded upon me. 263 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920 I am not going to keep that fruitlessness. 264 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:36,400 I am going to resolve that this is a year of fruitful transformation and therefore I 265 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,800 slam the door shut. 266 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:45,320 And you might want to clap your hands with me so that there is a barring and you literally 267 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:53,960 start the year with a command in the spirit to bar the assault of last year. 268 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,800 Now I think there are moments you do this, right? 269 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,840 I bar the assault from last year. 270 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,440 I bar the harassing spirit. 271 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,160 I bar the mauling spirit. 272 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:12,920 You don't have permission or access and now as I cut that thing off, I am able to enter 273 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:20,960 the resolution for transformation without the shadow or the hangover of yesterday's 274 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,120 evils, traumas, upset, hurt and pain. 275 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,360 And some of you not just need to clap your hands, stand up, bring the sword down, but 276 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:36,400 you actually need to take off even the clothes as a spiritual act or the mantles that got 277 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:45,320 their efficiency out of the mantles, the clothes that were your shape for last year because 278 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,440 there is always a new becoming. 279 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,480 There is always an upgrade of identity. 280 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840 There is a God who gives you more. 281 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:57,880 There is the God who trusts you with greater works of his kingdom and so in this resolution 282 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:05,040 place, this transformation place, you start with a barring and an ending rightly so that 283 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,320 you can enter into the fullness of what God has. 284 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,160 I do not want you to miss a moment of fullness this year. 285 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,480 Yeah, absolutely. 286 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:19,600 And as you're saying that Emma, it is a joyful thing, but it's a serious thing because if 287 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,600 any year we're getting more serious, 2024, the more he gives us, the more of his weight, 288 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,820 the more of his glory, the more serious we need to be about taking hold of him who takes 289 00:15:30,820 --> 00:15:31,820 hold of us. 290 00:15:31,820 --> 00:15:38,000 So, and there's a determination that we need and that's the word that's on my heart for 291 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:48,560 our listeners to just loose determination in 2024 to walk the walk, the yielding, the 292 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:54,040 sacrifice that's needed for the incredible transformation of what God wants to do and 293 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,880 wants to bring. 294 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:02,240 And that's why the cutting off of the past is so vital because you want your heart open, 295 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:08,640 your spirit open, your hands open, your physical body, your mind, everything fully open and 296 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:15,760 available for the transforming power and to be determined and resolved with a level of 297 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:21,760 seriousness towards and into his transformative power. 298 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:22,880 Good. 299 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,400 I also think two other prayers I would love you to pray at this time, not only do you 300 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,160 pray that for yourself, you know, I end, I cut, that does not cascade over, it does not 301 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,300 overrun. 302 00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,080 You pray that for your children and those who belong to you and if you're in spiritual 303 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,560 leadership, you pray that over your church in the name of Jesus. 304 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,560 That what? 305 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,160 Death assignment, that suicide spirit, that infirmity spirit, whatever happens to be in 306 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,720 whichever realm you have authority, it does not hold my people, my children, whatever. 307 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,760 It stops right now and you push it into a barred and a prison place. 308 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280 I think the other thing that you do, there are some things where we're always a little 309 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,480 bit out of time, I think, because we tend to be a bit sluggish, where there are some 310 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,120 things that you thought needed to resolve themselves by the end of the year and did 311 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,120 not. 312 00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:21,000 So you always use January every year as a sense of demanding that Satan lets go of something 313 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,320 that he is withholding. 314 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,600 And so you start to say, right now, I pluck from the enemy's hand that which should have 315 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,640 been resolved. 316 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,520 And in the name of Jesus, I call that this January becomes a time, not only where some 317 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:42,040 things don't cross over, but some things that need resolved for my advancement are now resolved. 318 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,960 And so there is a sense that we say paperwork that needs stamped gets stamped. 319 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,480 Finances that need released get released. 320 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,880 Wellness that should have been entered into is now entered into. 321 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Covenants that should have been growing gloriously now grow gloriously. 322 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,600 And I think God loves calendars, he loves rhythms, and he loves cycles. 323 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:08,700 And it gives us this catch up moment where we say that that which should have been completed 324 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:12,560 but wasn't completed is now completed in Jesus' name. 325 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,600 So you get this barring, but you also get this completion. 326 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:23,680 And it's a four week place of I bar you, you don't owe me, and this now gets completed. 327 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:29,920 And I resolve to be in time of the transformation and the receptivity of the glory of God and 328 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,160 the transfiguration of my own life as I go through this year. 329 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,160 Amazing. 330 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,360 I mean, I can feel you have just shoved off all apathy. 331 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,480 You're coming into 2024. 332 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:46,240 We need to get a vision for 2024 and what God wants to do and is doing. 333 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:52,680 And with that determination, and as you say, these four weeks of January, just making sure 334 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:58,400 that business is done and is completed so that we can be propelled. 335 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,280 Actually, that's what we're doing. 336 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:07,760 We're thrusting our listeners into 2024 with power and with strength and with might and 337 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,560 with a level of seriousness. 338 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,560 Yes. 339 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:16,160 And the sense that you get to issue commands. 340 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:23,320 You get to issue commands of completion and separations for a year of transformative glory. 341 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:29,120 And don't be sluggish, my friend, and don't lose the anointing of the moment. 342 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:34,520 Don't lose the capability of the moment to bring the sword of the Lord down and to pull 343 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,080 in what you need pulled in. 344 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,000 I do think as well as transformation for ourselves and transfiguration in a year of transformative 345 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:50,800 glory, you've got to know, loyal listeners, that this is around households, the household 346 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,760 of God, your own personal immediate family household. 347 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,680 Transfiguration transformation is the promise of God this year. 348 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,480 In other words, church at the end of the year will look completely different to how it looks 349 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,080 at the beginning for those who are willing to do that journey. 350 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:12,680 But families will look completely different because you can't just decree the word of 351 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,680 transformative glory and then go, oh, well, that's just something private in my heart. 352 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,320 No, my friend, this is the household of God and your personal household. 353 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,400 And the Lord is saying to you, I will move on your children. 354 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,880 I will move on your children's children. 355 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,840 I will move on the household that you have, whatever that looks like, whether blood or 356 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,680 adoption or the friends that make your family group, there is mass glory transformation. 357 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:49,840 And it is time to say not just I believe it, but I decree glory transformation over those 358 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,840 in my household. 359 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:59,240 Yeah, decree it and believe it and watch and keep a diary of the changes that you see and 360 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,440 that determination. 361 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:09,240 Hold the decree and let the decree go to work on your behalf as you see transformation come 362 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,440 to your family and to household of faith. 363 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:17,200 And the other thing that I see really key for this year is the restoration of the strength 364 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,840 of the people of God. 365 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,840 Wow. 366 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:25,120 And for so long, I think I often deal with when I'm traveling the world and issues of 367 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:30,960 fatigue and slumber in the house of God, both in the spirit, like just not being able to 368 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,960 raise themselves up to war or to raise themselves up to expectation, but very practically as 369 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,320 well the sleeplessness, physical sleeplessness of the people of God is a very continual battle. 370 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,760 I know Sam and I, and you've talked about this repetitively and these kind of programs. 371 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,360 But the sense I think of the zeal of God is going to visit his people in a fresh way and 372 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:57,400 the run rest cycles are coming into place this year. 373 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,880 And this ability to hold the zeal and the energy of God for breakthrough is going to 374 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,760 be in an unusual weight. 375 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,120 You are going to be visited by the zeal and the purpose of God. 376 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:15,720 And that is God not just making you enthusiastic or passionate, but that is an enablement of 377 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,800 God to accomplish. 378 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,040 Let's not get lost in the shallow waters of zeal because you just turned to the scripture 379 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,040 didn't you? 380 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,040 I saw you turn to it. 381 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,040 It's one of my favorites. 382 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,520 And it's one of yours as well. 383 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,520 It is. 384 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,520 It's marvelous. 385 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,520 Read it to us. 386 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,560 Well, you know, we've just come out of the Christmas season. 387 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,560 I mean, only just. 388 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:40,600 I mean, this is a great portion for that time of year, but it's so much more than that. 389 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,600 Okay. 390 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:48,480 But I'm going to go for verse seven of the increase of his government and peace. 391 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:54,360 There will be no end continuous perpetual ongoing increase. 392 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,460 Phenomenal. 393 00:22:55,460 --> 00:23:00,000 He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing. 394 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,720 Isn't that such a word of the season? 395 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,520 Establishing and upholding it with what? 396 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,280 With justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. 397 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,800 Oh, the weight on this is tremendous. 398 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,280 And then this is a bit that just gets me every time. 399 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,480 It's like, oh, people of God, this is what you have now. 400 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,480 Are you going to run with it? 401 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,720 And it's like, it's not just about running with it. 402 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,080 Listen to this bit. 403 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,680 It's the zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. 404 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,880 And even the word accomplish, there's a great sense of finishing. 405 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,400 There's a great sense of our completion. 406 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,400 Yes. 407 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,400 And that the zeal. 408 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,840 I mean, what is that? 409 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:49,200 It's the hearty enthusiasm and the persistence of the spirit of God and the weight of God 410 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,960 and the energy of God. 411 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,880 Energy of heaven to accomplish this. 412 00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,960 And it's very important that I mean, I pray that verse quite a lot, particularly when 413 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,680 I'm zooming around the nations. 414 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,080 God, would you give me your ability to accomplish? 415 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800 Yeah, I actually prefer that language. 416 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,000 Would you give me your ability to accomplish what needs to accomplish? 417 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,040 Because sometimes we miss a plight. 418 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,400 You're like, oh, God, I just need a wee bit of an adrenaline rush. 419 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,400 Like it's enthusiasm. 420 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,400 Yeah. 421 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,400 Yeah. 422 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,000 Like, and then I'll collapse afterwards. 423 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,520 It's not that. 424 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,000 And if I would pray a little bit, Lord, would you give me the anointing that I need to do 425 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,080 what needs to be done? 426 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,960 And because I know that my flesh is frail and I'm dust, but there is an anointing that 427 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,280 breaks the yoke. 428 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,320 So we're pulling a couple of scriptures in together. 429 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,240 But my prayer is very often, would you give me the anointing and the capability to accomplish 430 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,760 what needs accomplished, which is really the zeal of the Lord will accomplish. 431 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:57,120 So the sense, therefore, of praying that repetitively this year, I think it is there in a new level 432 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:03,560 for the saints of God to not just stay in foundations, but to move beyond where they've 433 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:09,640 moved by saying, God, would you give me the anointing to accomplish what needs accomplished? 434 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,640 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 435 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,640 Fantastic. 436 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,640 Yeah. 437 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,880 And even as you're saying that, just the understanding that the zeal of the Lord is not like separate 438 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:18,880 from us. 439 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,880 Yes. 440 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:27,720 He's got the zeal, his very self within us, working with him, and it's just this incredible 441 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:34,720 partnership with heaven to co-create with him what he wants accomplished. 442 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,720 And you know what? 443 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,120 That is the winning side. 444 00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:38,120 Amazing. 445 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,920 Well, happy New Year. 446
