2012
will be like going on a roller coaster ride.
There will be scary ups and downs.
This will be a time when many Christians
will choose to fall away or draw closer.
Many hear the Word on Sunday but live Monday thru Saturday – without God. Could this be the start of the great falling
away? Yet with problems so big, many are
seeking the Lord now – could this be the great (spiritual) revival?
There seems to be three (3) main topics
Christians are going to need and use from January 1, 2012 until the Lord returns.
1. LEARN How To Bless And Not Curse:
Luke 6:27-28: Love your enemies... Bless them that curse you… Do good to those who despitefully use you.
Romans 12:14: “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.”
James 3:7-10: Every creature is tamed by man, but no one can tame the tongue which blesses and curses.
Cursing is not just cussing. Cursing is speaking any negative word, declaring something on the dark side to them. Examples of how the Lord blesses are in Deuteronomy 28: 1-14. The curses are from 28:15-68, over 4 times more!
You see, God can only work in the blessings. It’s the twerp (satan) who moves on the curses. When you’re angry at someone, you might want to kick them in the rear-end, but you’ll have a big problem with the Lord – Luke 6:38!
Luke6:38 says, that what you “give” will be given back to
you – pressed down, shaken together and running over shall other men give it
back to you. OUCH! You’ll notice the word
“give” does not specify what, so it’s anything you give, you will receive more
back and with the same attitude you gave it.
Yet, when we bless someone, God can get involved to help that person
change. We are actually interceding for
that person, asking God to make that person what God’s pre-ordained them to be.
Luke 6:27-28: Love your enemies... Bless them that curse you… Do good to those who despitefully use you.
Romans 12:14: “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.”
James 3:7-10: Every creature is tamed by man, but no one can tame the tongue which blesses and curses.
Cursing is not just cussing. Cursing is speaking any negative word, declaring something on the dark side to them. Examples of how the Lord blesses are in Deuteronomy 28: 1-14. The curses are from 28:15-68, over 4 times more!

Luke
2. Recognize Dreams And Visions From God.
Joel 2:28-30: “…Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.”
Acts 2:15-19: Luke, who wrote the book of Acts between 63 and 70 AD said the people were fulfilling Joel’s prophecy of the “last days”. So the “last days” actually started after Christ’s resurrection, within the first church.
God has been trying to talk to us, since the early church. But we are not paying attention. That’s why I believe, God has us blogging “Spread The Word”. He wants us to focus in on the dreams, visions, words of knowledge and teaching He’s giving us today. Truly – He wants to talk to you and me (Matthew10:26 & Mark 4:22 )!
What God wants, is to tell or show us how to bring heaven down on earth, then we’re to ACT on what He reveals, just as Jesus did (John 5:19-20).
Joel 2:28-30: “…Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.”

3. Learn The Voice Of God:
Ezekiel 34:11 “For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.”
John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;… and no one will snatch them out of My hand”
Why would we need to hear His voice, if He wasn’t talking to us? God has never been quiet; we’ve just tuned Him out. Read your Bible and you’ll see the plans He’s made, how He’s moved His people to be in the right place, at the right time, by telling them where to go – if they would listen and obey.
We especially need to tune in now, because of the signs and wonders coming on earth. I know they’ve been happening for many years, but the “wild ride” is going to escalate the Scripture of the “birth pains” in Matthew 24:3-8 and Mark 13:3-8.
If you or one of your children or family becomes sick and you’re short of money or knowledge, will you know what to do? God does! Do you know where your next job is or how to stop the twerps (satan) attacks? God does! God has a perfect plan for you that supplies all your needs – plus He’s got work for you to do. When you meet Him in Heaven, will He say to you “well done my good and faithful servant”? Read Matthew 25:13-30 and see which servant you are. You still have a chance to become that faithful servant.
The only way we can become the servants He desires, is if we open our spiritual eyes and ears to know what’s going on in Heaven, then do it here on earth. Remember, He knows the beginning from the end (Revelation 21:6,22:13 ), so we need to go to our Source – God the Father and in Jesus’ Name,
hear what He says.
Revelation 2 & 3, talks about the seven (7) churches. In each case it states, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” When all churches (Christians) are told the same thing – it’s time to wake-up and listen-up for we must endure until the end.
Ezekiel 34:11 “For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.”
John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;… and no one will snatch them out of My hand”

There are many good teachings on blessings, dreams, visions and learning
to hear from God. Here’s a couple I’ve
learned from: Dennis Walker – “Catching
The Initiatives Of Heaven”, Kerry Kirkwood – “The Power Of Blessing” and of
course the best one – The Holy Spirit, who teaches and guides us into all
things.
Then you can do what Ezra did (7:10 ),
1. Learn – study.
2. Practice –meaning, when you
fall, try again until you get it.
3. Teach – tell others about how it
worked for you.
Don’t let the enemy stop you from
telling the Power and Authority Christians have in Christ. For the unsaved, it will bring them to the Cross,
making you a laborer in His field (Luke
10:2).
The Aaronic Blessing (ONMB)
“The LORD will bless you,
and He will keep you.
The LORD will make His face
shine upon you and
He will be gracious to
you. The LORD will lift
His countenance to you and
He will
establish Shalom for you.”
(Numbers
6:23-26)
