A Word For 2025

What I believe the Lord spoke to me concerning 2025. I heard these two words “great” and “redemption”. 

It’s going to be a “great” year of change in the sense of above the normal or average.

Because I have placed My favor on your life I will redeem and bring about change in many areas. For you it will be a year of things being redeemed. I will bring redemption in new areas. Areas you haven’t thought of or seen. And I will bring redemption to those areas you have felt held back. It will be a new level of redemption for many. My hand of favor will overwhelm you in certain areas of life and living, giving you new strength. What was average will become greater, larger. Greater in quality and quantity. It will be for many a year of seeing greater fruitfulness, and a renewed strength in productivity. What seemed hard and you were not able to push through will seem effortless, easier because of My favor. What would be considered normal and what was considered average will change and there will be an increase in fruitfulness.  You will see how to rise and take it to a new level, one that will be above normal or average. You will have a new ability to see and will not look at the average or normal the same way you did before, it will be greater. This new level will now be considered what’s normal. Do not be afraid to look at those areas you felt defeated or not able to overcome, areas which seemed too hard, but look at them with My eyes and see what I can do. I will redeem and I will release you into a new level of greater in areas where you have felt stifled or captive. So lift up your voice, and say thank you Lord for your redemption and this new level of greater. For know this, with My hand of favor on your life, nothing is too hard .

Proverbs 3:3-6

Psalm 5:12

Titus 2:14, 

Psalm 107:1-2, 31-38

Psalm 130

Grace God’s grace is usually defined as undeserved favor. Grace cannot be earned; it is something that is freely given. It is approval or kindness that is freely given by God to all humans: it means gift, favor, benefit. Grace is God’s EMPOWERMENT that gives us the ability to go beyond our natural ability.

Redemption  is to gain or regain possession of something, to get or win back. It is to free from what distresses or harms. To free from captivity, to set free from confinement or danger, to redeem implies releasing from bondage or penalties by giving what is demanded or necessary.

Fruitfulness Fruitfulness is a state of being extremely productive or prolific. To be fruitful means to add or multiply to what is already there.

Favor approval, support, an act of kindness beyond what is due To show approval or preference for. It means preferential treatment of God out of His kindness toward a person. 

2023

Every year I always pray and ask the Lord for a Word concerning the coming year and this is what I believe I heard for 2023. This is a little different this year from previous years because as I prayed I heard four different words. First, this is the year to focus on “Christ in me”, Second, “be prepared”, Third, “Confession” and Fourth, tend to your garden. As I continued to pray over these words I believe the Lord said to me this was a season for personal growth and to take care of these three plants. 

The first plant is our personal relationship with Jesus. You can grow  deeper in this area if you want to. This is to be done through communication, hearing, listening, looking, being watchful and aware, which I felt was the “be prepared” part. It wasn’t Him saying beware or a warning in the “be prepared” part as much as Him just saying to be aware that there were things to come in a positive sense and could be missed if we are not paying attention. We are to keep our eyes and ears open watchfully. Part of this personal growth is to be through our confession and communication with the Lord. This is how our heart will grow in loving Him and being His friend. 

The second plant is to be active in building His Kingdom by looking how to flow with His Kingdom Ways/Purposes. As opportunities come up to jump in and be a doer of the Word, looking to assist when possible in this flow. 

The third plant is His Blessing, but it wasn’t looking at how to be blessed but at where you are already blessed. Look inwardly in your life first, next look outwardly to where you sense His strongest flow coming from your life. Then look at the people and events or activities in your surroundings that God is blessing which have nothing to do with you. As you see these things pour yourself into them.  

Keep a sharp focus on these three areas. Water and fertilize them by prayer, words and participation. 

I felt Him stressing to me to pay no attention to those things and events happening around us which are of the world and things of the world. It is a time to truly evaluate the flesh and leave it behind. Things are going to grow exponentially, however that which is of the  flesh will as well. It is going to be a season of growth with good rich soil which will grow anything so be careful what you plant for it will grow. 

Mk.4, Gal 6:7-10

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. NIV

Col 3:1-4

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. NIV

Christ in me, Be Prepared, Confession, Tend to Your Garden
