Matt Sorger: 13 Prophetic Insights and Decrees for 2013


I respect Matt Sorger quite a lot, but I don't often post his words on this blog: I don't often discern that his words have specific Northwest application. In this one, he is not specifically addressing our region (nor is he prophesying from our region), but I hear an anointing on this word that includes those of us in the Northwest region.

As I waited upon God, going into 2013, I received these words from the Lord. Some came in the form of impressions, others came as visions and some came as Scriptures that God was breathing on for this season. Prophetic words are an invitation from the Lord. I sense the following 13 prophetic insights are to be decrees that we aggressively pursue for 2013. 

They are invitations for us to lay hold of. 

13 Prophetic Insights and Decrees 

1. Stagnant waters will be stirred in a fresh way. I saw pools of Bethesda stirring again and a fresh healing stir being released. God wants His people to lay hold of the divine healing anointing in a fresh way this year. I saw deep seated, lingering disorders being healed, even down to the chromosome level. I saw stubborn areas within the soul and flesh being healed that people have battled with for years. 

In John 5:2-5, 9, Christ performs a healing on the Sabbath. Jesus never did anything by chance or accident. He was very purposeful in His intention. God is calling His people to access His healing and power from a place of rest. The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest. It's a spiritual position of rest. In Christ we enter into the Sabbath. We receive because of the finished work Christ has done on the Cross. Rather than begging God for what He has already done, we are to simply step in and receive the finished work. A new level and substance of faith is coming into the heart to receive the finished work. God is highlighting the spirit of faith and understanding the finished work of Christ. Living from the Sabbath position will be crucial in obtaining all God has for us. 

2. A prophetic ear will be given to not only hear but to also listen and comprehend. This hearing will also occur from a position of rest in His presence. Key Scriptures are 1 Samuel 3:3, 10. In a time of no widespread revelation and where the eyes of the high priest Eli were growing dim, the light was still burning in the temple near the ark. As Samuel rested before the ark in the presence of God, the voice of God speaks to him. After several times of hearing but not understanding, Samuel is instructed by Eli to say, "Speak Lord for your servant is listening." 

There is a big difference between hearing and listening. God is refining the prophetic ear and the prophetic movement. He is calling His prophets and His people to come into a place of rest in His presence in the light of revelation. From that place the voice of God will speak. Not only will His voice be heard, but it will be listened to and comprehended. A new clarity of hearing and perceiving God's voice is coming. It will not be by self-effort or striving; it will be from resting in His presence. Not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord. 

3. New language will be given by God to properly and clearly communicate truths God is highlighting and speaking. For example, the term "soaking" was not used until the outpouring of God's Spirit in the 90s. This term helped explain the concept of being filled with God's presence. New language will be given by the Spirit to more deeply and clearly understand truths God is bringing forth of spiritual realities. 

4. God is giving the blueprints for the new wineskin He is forming. In Joshua 3:3-6, the people were to follow the ark into a way they have never gone before. As we follow the moving of the presence of God, He will lead us by His Spirit into places we have never gone before. The walk of sanctification will be vital in preparation for the wonders God will do. God is saying to be ready to pull the tent pegs up. When the cloud of His presence moves we need to move with Him. We have to be willing to fold up old structures and ways of doing things in order to stay current and fresh with God. God's marching orders will be given. There will be new alignments and relational structures to facilitate the move of God. 

5. We will not continue to do things the same way. The cloud of God is moving and with that our activities will shift. Our focuses will shift. Some old structures will have to adapt and morph with the new way God is moving. There will be fresh Spirit-led activity. God doesn't want us to be busy. He wants us to be fruitful. Forms, structures and even activities we have done in the past may shift as God moves in new ways. Be prepared to let go of some things and to embrace and step into some new things you haven't done before. It will be vital to go where the Spirit is breathing. Don't hold onto something God isn't breathing on any longer. Be fruitful by moving and being led by the Spirit. 

6. God will be highlighting and deepening within His people an understanding of the true identity of the Believer. Revelation of how to live out of union with God will come forth. We will understand our oneness with God and live out of our inner spirit man. For those who are one with God are one spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17, 19).

7. God is going to bring revelation into foundational, spiritual truths. Things we thought we knew and understood, God is going to have us look again and He is going to give us deeper revelation and understanding into things we thought we knew for years. Look back upon foundational truths, and new light and revelation will be shone upon them bringing the manifestation of true spiritual realities. 

8. The understanding of spiritual warfare is shifting. We are moving from "warfare" breakthrough to a "decreeing and establishing" breakthrough. This will occur with a deeper revelation of who and where we are. Rather than fighting into the second heaven from being under, we will rule and reign from the third Heaven being over. I understand that we wrestle not with flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), and that even Jesus experienced personal warfare when He was tempted by the devil and overcame by the spoken Word of God. This warfare will not be fought to obtain victory, but will be fought from a place of victory. 

Christians will live from a third Heaven reality, understanding how to establish on earth as it is in Heaven. A new perspective, a new revelation and with it a new manifestation of Kingdom authority will be released. God is bringing people into a new level of spiritual authority.Ephesians 2:5-6 are key Scriptures. The Church will shift from an Old Testament model of spiritual warfare (Daniel 10:13) into a New Testament revelation of establishing what has already been won (Colossians 2:15). 

9. This is the season of the fulfillment of dreams. Many are being brought from a time where the word of the Lord tested them. The second dream to Joseph was highlighted to me in Genesis 37:9-11. In it Joseph sees eleven stars and the sun and the moon bowing down to him, speaking of his promotion into a position of authority and influence. Eleven plus two is thirteen, the number of this year. People are going to step into the manifestation of unfulfilled dreams. The warfare of the last season is being washed away and a new heavenly perspective is being granted. Just as Joseph's betrayal and trial maneuvered him into his assignment and destiny, so will the trials and testings in our lives propel us into our destinies. Key Scriptures are Genesis 37:9, Genesis 45:5-8, Psalm 105:17-24. 

10. God is delivering people from burdens. But it's not just the removal of burdens. As Psalm 81:6-7 says, He will remove our shoulder from the burden and bring deliverance. This is different than the burden being removed from us. It's us being removed from under the burden. Get ready for divine shifting that will maneuver you out from underneath burdens into a place of deliverance. In other words, situations or people may stay the same, but you will be maneuvered out from underneath them. It's a season of deliverance for those who call on the name of the Lord. 

Psalm 105:37-44 show 10 promises accompanying this deliverance. These include financial provision, divine health, fear of the Lord on the enemy, the covering of His presence, light in the darkness, food, dry places refreshed, joy, lands and nations, and reaping where you haven't labored. Lay hold of these promises for you, your family, church, ministry and business. 

11. There is a generational convergence taking place. It's a season for new, young leaders to be mentored and raised up. Generations are converging together and will function together in relationship for the purpose of multiplication. Generational wells and new wells will open together. Fathers and mothers will take their place and sons and daughters will come into their place. Those that have not been fathers will now step into a fathering role. Genesis 26:18-24 are key Scriptures for this. 

12. I saw a vision of an open door. This is the year of the open door. As we run through it we will come intodivine acceleration. New favor, new opportunities and new advancements. Key Scriptures are Revelations 3:7-13. God will keep us from the hour of trial coming upon the whole earth. It's time to hold fast what you have so no one robs you of your crown. Have patient endurance. The name of God will be upon us. 

13. I saw a vision of the Lord blowing upon a flickering flame. Usually when someone blows on a candle the flame goes out. But as God breathed upon the flame within us it got brighter and hotter. It will be a season of renewing our first love for God (Revelation 2:2-7). God is bringing both an encouragement and warning that if our works are not done from the place of first love, the candlestick can be removed. Ministry work must be done from the place of first love for Jesus. God is calling people back to the simplicity of worship and living a life in His presence. This will also bring deeper consecration, holiness and divine fire as a result. A key verse is Matthew 12:20, A smoldering wick He will not snuff out. 

I encourage you to pray over these 13 prophetic insights and decrees. Meditate on them and apply them to your lives as the Holy Spirit leads you.

Word of the Lord for 2013; Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE)



Each year, as we have since 1999, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders meets before the New Year to pray and seek the Lord for a word. This is a compilation of what was sensed during this year’s gathering. It should always be noted that the ACPE believes that the Lord speaks more in seasons, as opposed to our calendar years, and in the past few years we have observed that the trend of some of the prophetic words have been continuing for several years and intensifying.

It is also important to note that intercession can diminish the severity of some of the words that speak of potential judgment – and in some cases may avert them all together. In any case, all prophecies should be bathed in intercession, both the ones that speak of harvest and blessing, as well as the ones with the admonitions attached to them.

As prophets, it is always wise to go back and look at the words we have given in the past. We did this for the years 2011-12. Of course, let us reiterate, timing of the words should be understood more as a season than a calendar year. The words given are not fate or karma but can be changed subject to how God's people respond.

2011: The Year of the Perfect Storm

In 2011, we prophesied the perfect storms. We have certainly had those. The word was given of greater earthquakes, floods, and severe weather patterns of all kinds.
These all happened – in February, a winter storm of historic proportions, according to the National Weather Service; a catastrophic tornado outbreak in April; hurricane Irene in August, the sixth costliest storm in U.S. history at $16 billion.

2012: The Year of Shakings

In looking at the word given for 2012, we saw that it was not only incredibly accurate, but still includes the season we are moving into with more shakings to come. We saw an intensifying of nature responding to our sin. The year broke U.S. heat records, bringing drought and the U.S. government declared it the second-worst in U.S. history for “extreme” weather such as hurricanes, droughts or floods, according to CNN. CNN also reported that hurricane Sandy caused an estimated $80 billion in damage to New York and New Jersey alone. For this reason, we are going to attach it to this Word of the Lord for 2013.

2013: Watch and Prepare/The Year of Contrasts

2013 and the number thirteen typifies the twelve apostles and Jesus, thus representing completeness. Therefore we know there are going to be new team entities to accomplish great things for the Body of Christ in this coming year. We must learn to communicate and value relational unity stronger than ever before, as there are some blessings, crises, and challenges that can only be fully navigated through deep spiritual unity, more than in other seasons of time.

The ACPE felt this coming year would be one of great contrasts and polarity. In a sense, we are entering a new era. Things cannot be done in the same way they have in the past season.

The New Era – A “But Now” Season

“And he said to them, ‘When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?’ So they said, ‘Nothing.’ Then he said to them, ‘But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise, a knapsack, and he who has no sword, let him sell his possessions and buy one.’” (Luke 22:35-36)

Here is a passage the Lord showed us as a prophetic picture of the contrasts coming that will show the difference between those who have the blessing of the Lord upon them in the midst of a dark season.

Contrast Between Light and Dark

Arise; shine, for your light has come! And the glory of The Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and his glory will be seen upon you. Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. The multitudes of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come; They shall bring gold and incense, And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord. (Is. 60:1-2, 5-6)

In contrast to the season of glory for those who prepare and hear, it will be a season of darkness or, as some translations say, “gloom” for those unprepared. The good news is that we are not created for darkness and gloom, but for glory! In this passage, the camels brought wealth in caravans. So for us as believers, this means the camels, or their modern-day equivalents, are coming with provision!

This will also be connected with the transference of wealth on international levels. For those who watch and listen, they will hear the voice of the Lord for huge financial blessings. The Joseph generation is going to emerge in this season as never before.

Hear and Prepare

One prophet had a vision of a tuning fork being struck by the Lord and put to our ear. The Lord spoke to us that He is going to “fine-tune” our hearing to know how to prosper. This is not a time for spiritual laziness but for a disciplined spiritual life.

We see that for those who watch and prepare, the glory of the Lord is going to be seen on you by all. You will shine like you have never shone.  Those who are like the sons of Issachar will be blessed in this time in contrast to those who are dull of hearing. So, those who have watched and prepared will be blessed.

Preparedness should also take place on the institutional level as well. It was clear to us that the word we had given in 2012 about crisis preparedness was even more relevant now than before. We are calling on individuals, churches and communities to become disaster-prepared. The shakings are going to continue and increase, and those who prepare will become a refuge for others, resulting in evangelism opportunities as the mental strongholds of those who believed the church to be uncaring are torn down.

Matthew 25 is an important passage for us this coming season.

Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. (Matthew 25:1-13)

How to prepare:

Keep your lamps full. Stay in the word; be full of the power of the Holy Spirit.

  1. Live a life-style of worship.

  1. Renew your study about having confidence in and faith toward God.

  1. Crisis preparedness. This needs to be done on both a personal level as well as at church and community levels.

  1. Re-evaluate how you are handling your finances. Ask God what to buy and sell.

  1. Seek God for the "new wine" structures that will help you to be flexible in this new season.

  1. Do not react out of fear, but rather respond out of faith. Don’t forget, you belong to a kingdom that can’t be shaken.

Watch and Obey

A renewed and sharpened sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit is a must in this season. When God tells you to not go into a place, don’t. Obey the Holy Spirit’s cautions without being paranoid. Buy when the Lord tells you to, and don’t when you should not spend. This is a time to move in faith and not fear. God still has dreams to dream through you, and it is critical that you keep moving forward with the vision God has placed into your heart and not become stagnant.

Instability-The New Reality

In this new era, we could say that instability will be our new reality. However, those who listen to the Lord's guidance will navigate this season and be successful. Some major organizations will go bankrupt such as casualty insurance companies. The bankruptcies of American cities will increase and there will be an increasing inability to provide adequate expected services such as fire and police. Much of this will be the result of a path established by policies of former governmental administrations, but the blame will be placed on the current ones. Resolving these problems will be greatly hindered by finger-pointing and animosity, manifesting in heightened racial and socio-economic tensions.

Against this backdrop will be communities that will have displayed the ability to foresee and understand these times and seasons, and who will have established infrastructure at the community level that does not have to rely on outside resources. Apostolic and prophetic church leadership with a “Joseph anointing” will be instrumental in preparing not only their local churches, but their greater communities, for the coming times of volatility.

Goshens, Sheep and Goats

It will be evident in the coming days, as events unfold, that there are some who have the blessing of God and those who do not. This was likened to us as those being what we might call "sheep or goat" states, regions, cities and even people. The sheep states, those who have followed the word of God concerning the rights of the unborn child, biblical definition of marriage, helping to eliminate systemic poverty and fighting against injustice such as human trafficking, will be blessed. They will stand in sharp contrast to those who do not. We felt strongly that some people as well as geographic regions would become typologically “Goshens”, where others would flee to in the midst of instability. Migrations of people out of places which do not have leadership following biblical principles will start to take place.

United States versus other nations

One year ago, we gave the word that if the United States did not make a major shift toward reformation in 2012, our measure of greatness would continue to decline. That shift did not occur. The United States will continue to decline while other nations such as China, India, Indonesia, Korea, and others will rise.

Economies

As a result of following a path turning away from God, the nation is suffering.
We prophesied "no more business as usual” in January of 2008 before the September meltdown of that year. We could say that the stone from Daniel 2 has been thrown at the feet of the economies of the world..Some believe this to be the Babylonian structures. Therefore the structures of the whole world have been weakened in some respects.

Daniel 2:35 speaks of a stone striking the foot of a statue that has mixture. God is going to shake corrupt economic systems. The old systems that have been held in place through corrupt leaders are going to shake as well. Many who have prayed for their nations will see a major governmental change that will put them on a path of awakening and blessing.

Believers should ask God for the timing when they need to buy land and businesses, and make their influence known, even under duress. Man-made structures are going to continue to have great stress and pressure. Kingdom-minded business leaders are going to be especially anointed in this season. Both Esthers and Daniels will arise in this day to influence economic systems and nations.

An admonition came forth not to get stuck in old wineskins even in the area of your personal finances in the coming days or you will miss your opportunities when they come along from God.

A New Move of the Holy Spirit

On the positive, we are going to see the rise of new revivalists, many who have been as yet unseen, but will burst upon the scene with great power and authority. The world will be astounded as they come from seemingly nowhere to a great visibility due to the way in which the power and authority of God is manifested through them.

Beware of Deception

Be especially vigilant against deception trying to enter into the church in this season, which will try and shut down these new moves of God.

Chicago, Illinois

The inner cities and urban areas are going to be touched by this new wave of power evangelism. Some of the darkest areas, such as the inner city of Chicago, are going to see a dramatic intervention from the Spirit of the Living God.

New Alignments

2013 will be a year in which many things in the lives of believers will come into alignment. The Lord’s focus for the church will be coming into the place where she can be a voice to the nation. Nehemiah 13 is a picture of this. God used him to bring into alignment both God’s people and the government. With these new alignments must come a re-assessment of the things God requires of you in this new season.

Prayer and Spiritual Warfare

There will be a resurgence of teaching on both prayer and spiritual warfare, and God’s people will once again war in intercession. A whole new army of prayer warriors will be trained.

Uncompromised Leadership

Pastors will arise with the anointing of a William Wilberforce and fight against injustice. There will be new movements of righteousness and justice. An awakening both to holiness and justice will sweep the nations. Fighting human trafficking will be a special focus of the church; especially among the youth.

“Daniel prophets” will arise out of this movement who stand unafraid. Reformers will arise in governmental positions. Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Alabama will begin to awaken.

Prophets

The prophets of God must not be intimidated by the fire-storm that will come against them in the coming days. There is a hidden church even among influential world leaders who are like the “Obadiahs,” but the prophets are about to be revealed in great power and authority if they do not back down in this season of persecution.

There has been a culture of death that has reigned through abortion, but God is raising up young fire-brands whose voices will not be silenced until this evil is eradicated in nation after nation. The Spirit of Elijah will manifest in a glorious way upon these young voices who will speak up for the unborn.

Worship will be a major key in this movement as God will bring a world-wide emphasis on the restoration of the tabernacle of David, as prophesied in Acts 15:16. Little children will worship and prophesy as well.

Weather Related Crises

We have not seen the end of the weather-related crises and weather patterns. One ACPE leader sensed that organizations like FEMA would become virtually bankrupt as the earth produces violent shakings and storms that are beyond its resource levels.

Already, since the ACPE meeting in early December, Congress has already had to rush $9.7 billion in aid to FEMA due to flood insurance claims from the October hurricane Sandy. This is borrowed money from the Treasury, which increases the national deficit, and another $51 billion has been requested. Intensifying natural disasters will further stress the government’s ability to assist in such calamities.

OTHER NATIONS:

Israel

In the midst of the pressure of the Middle East de-stabilizing, Israel will experience a move of the Holy Spirit. Congregations will come into unity on a level not yet seen.
Special prayer is needed for peace in the Middle East, and there is an admonition that the rest of the world should not forget them. Pray for the protection of the borders of Israel.

Latin America

Latin America will begin to shake off its shackles of extreme leftism. There are leaders waiting in the wings who are the Josephs and Daniels of new governmental structures, and they will be reformers.

Vietnam

Vietnam will begin to emerge as an economic power, seemingly overnight. Many will start to build factories there, including business leaders from main-land China.

Europe and Euro

It was prophesied that the Euro would fragment. This will lead to the eventual re-structuring of Europe in some sense. The time period for this to take place was not shown to us.

Europe

Europe will experience a move of God as there is a hunger in the soul of God’s people there, and top leaders will begin to say that humanism and socialism did not work.

Austria

Austria will be a key to this move of God, and the sound of music will once again resonate around the world as new worship songs come from this nation.

Campuses

Campuses in the U.S., Britain, France, and Romania will flame with revival and reformation. New youth leaders’ movements will arise that will connect the new generation.

Ring of Fire Nations

The ring of fire nations will burn for God. New missions movements will be launched. The unreached peoples will be reached, and there will be an escalation of missionaries answering the call.

Africa

Africa will thrive! Nation after nation will find its leaders dedicating their nations to the Lord Jesus Christ. The spirit of poverty is beginning to be broken off this continent. Cultural transformations will take place. Look to the middle of the continent, for there will be a fire of the Holy Spirit that will begin there and spread to the rest of the world.

Arabic World

Nations will align with nations in surprising ways as old alignments manifest themselves once again. The Arabic world is going to clash with itself in unprecedented measures. Even formerly stable regions, such as Saudi Arabia, will start to de-stabilize.’

Egypt

Egypt is in its Isaiah 19 shaking moment, but in the midst of the shaking, one of the greatest prayer armies in the world will mobilize with great unity.

India

This is India’s time to shine! Prayer will fill this nation from the north to the south, to the east and the west.

Japan

Japan will experience a move of God that begins with their youth.

Korea

Prepare the missionaries for North Korea. Healing will begin from North to South. Many Korean business leaders will be sent even to Wall Street.

China

It probably goes without needing to be said, but China will continue its advance to becoming a world-economic power. This nation needs our special and earnest prayer.

Iran, Syria, and the Persecuted Church

There will be a shift in leadership in many Middle Eastern nations. Those who have been in favor will fall out of favor almost overnight. A call to pray for the persecuted church came forth from the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants to bring a great harvest to Syrians in particular in this season.

God's miracle working power will manifest in Iran. The Lord did not speak details to us beyond that at this time.


“Get Out of the Boat” Prophetic Word for 2013


2012 was the Year of “Divine Alignment.”  God was positioning you for greatness, aligning you so you could be in the center of His will, that you might have the fullness of His Blessing.  2012 was a year of “Internal Working.”  

2013 is the “Year of Action,” it is a year of “External Working,” Stepping Out, Breaking on through, the Year to “Get out of the Boat.” The Holy Spirit spoke to me of 2013 using Matthew 14:22-36.

1. Divine Assignments to Churches, Ministries and Individuals Mt.14:22. Jesus told His disciples to get in the boat and cross over to the other side.  It is “Time to Cross Over,” Make a Move.  In simple Obedience will come Power. This is a Year of Doing, Launching Out.  If you snooze you lose. God will speak much louder and clearer in 2013 as He spoke to Churches in the Book of Revelation, “Conditional Promises and Rewards.” The Prophetic will be Amped up to challenge many with the urgency of the Hour.  Remember that Jesus is Praying for you to succeed. Verse 23

2. Look Beyond the Storm- Financial, Political and Personal storms will blow. Verse 24 Those who Break Through will be those who know they are not subject to circumstances, but subject to the Word of God, that says, “despite the storm you will cross over to the other side.” Look Beyond the Storm to the Destination, and even though the enemy will try to hinder you, Abba is greater, Abba is for you. Romans 8:35-37

3. Importance of prayer, A Mighty Move of Holy Spirit is coming in 2013. Verse 25-27 The Disciples were “standing their watch” in the storm. Every Major Move of God in Church History was Birthed and Bathed in Prayer, from Acts Chapter 2 all the way to the 1906 Azusa St. Revival. Those that were Praying and Waiting were the First to enter into the Move of God; As those that were watching were the First to see Jesus walking on the water.  Churches and Ministries and Believers will Amp up their Prayer Life, and Hunger for a Move of the Holy Spirit in Power.

4. The Power of the “Spoken Word and Declarations” will continue into 2013. Verse28,29  The Disciples were “Divinely Aligned” because they obeyed Jesus and were in the Boat Crossing Over to the other side. There is a connection between Divine Align and Authority; many will come deeper into that Revelation in 2013. Peter made a Declaration and walked on water. Many will be amazed at the Power of the spoken word from their own lips, and will see miracles and dreams come true. Nothing happens until you open your mouth and speak and declare.

5. Test the waters. Peter made a declaration and walked on water, Elisha made a declaration and walked through water, Mary made a declaration and water turned into wine. Sweet! Job 22:27,28

6. Time to get out of the Boat- Make a Move- even though it is stormy Verse 29 Peter saw his moment to Walk on Water. There is a Now Moment waiting for you in 2013 to “Make a Move.” Many will experience the supernatural power of God and His Love as they get out of the boat.  Some will get out of the Boat of Apathy, Victimization, Fear, Doubt and Failure and come in to Confidence, Promotion and Increase.

7. There will be a Heightening of Spiritual Activity in 2013 Verse 30 What is going on in the “Unseen Realm” will be huge in 2013. I saw much spiritual activity of darkness and Light. Many believers will have a greater sense and discernment and awareness of this realm. Part of the purpose of this is so you don’t allow the devil to “steal your blessing.” Many seeds or Words sown will quickly turn into harvest in 2013. The devil will try to steal those seeds through fear, intimidation doubt and deception. Read Luke 8:5,11,12.  The Holy Spirit and the Angels of the Lord will warn you and intervene on your behalf so you will experience Victory.

8. Time to get out of the boat in 2013, no worries Jesus will save you and you will walk together and cross over to the other side. Verses 30-34 Learning to walk on water is much like a baby first learning to walk. You may stumble a few times, but know that Jesus is there to pick you up as you continue on your Journey of faith.  

Heavenly Father, show yourself strong on behalf of all those who move through 2013 with Great expectancy that 2013 will be one of the best years of their lives.  I declare over each one the Power of Shalom and that Many Dreams will come true for each one in 2013 as they Get out of the Boat. Miracles will happen for each one.

Mucho Agape,
