00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440
In this episode of What the Prophets Say, it's the first one of 2024 my friend.
2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,700
I'm joined in the studio by my dear friend Louise Reed 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
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,640
First, what the prophets say of 2024.

And we're glad that you are with us for this journey.
451

May the zeal of the Lord be known to you to accomplish all that God wants you to accomplish
453
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:08,500
this year.
