Declarations of immediacy.

Spotify

Declare this word right now in the name of Jesus.

In the beginning of the year, we received the scripture in Matt 11:12 as our key scripture for the year. It says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”

Once the scripture is unpacked, you cannot sit still or stay passive in your pursuit of a mature walk. As a baby in Christ, you receive all that God has promised you, but as you begin to read and learn more, you will see a definite change in pace. There is also a demand to become more mature in the things God has called you to do, and to be obedient. This maturity takes commitment and dedication to step into the calling God has for you.

It demands time within the word and put away all childish ways. The responsibility to turn what you have learned into a practical demonstration also increase with a greater urgency. If you want to see change you must become the change.

Declaring an immediacy comes with a warning sign and should not be taken lightly. You won’t be pampered but will be expected to grow up.

God works quickly. We won’t understand all He is doing and how He does it, but we must be ready to act. So, if you are ready and willing, then declare this into your life and your family’s life. Be unafraid, like David to storm your Goliath with all your might.

I want to prophesy some aspects of acceleration over your life from the book of Mark. I will add these declarations with the scriptures to my blog as well. Do visit and follow the blog for updates. And click the follow button of this podcast to stay connected.

Right through the Book of Mark, you will come across the word immediately. Mark is known as the apostle of acceleration. The sudden moment that will shift you from the old into the new. Let there be a sudden moment that will propel you to the next step into your life.

The Lord will appear suddenly in his holy Temple.

I pray He will appear suddenly in you, as His temple. That God will turn up in your ministry, and in your family, in your workplace and in every other area God opens doors to you.

In every way, let Him appear suddenly.

Declare:

Mark 1: 10 And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. 11 Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

I declare an open Heaven over your life. Immediately; oppressive elements must depart from your life. Immediately you have to come to the place called sonship. A new position of dominion and authority. Amen.

Verse 12 Immediately, the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. 13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

Verse 21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Verse 27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the regions around Galilee.

I declare with you that immediately; God’s Fame will spread throughout Every Nation, every tongue, and every city you touch. Immediately, this message will go viral. What you carry within you will spread to the outer parts of the world. Your influence will reach those willing listen.

Verse 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

Verse 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

I declare with you that immediately; signs and miracles and wonders must follow the ministry of the word of God.

Mark 2: 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.

I declare to you an immediate increase in your territory. You will become better and better; you will become bigger and bigger and so begin to increase your territory. Begin to build bigger buildings. Expand your tent pegs so that the master’s will will come in soon.

Verse 8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

I declare to you an immediate maturity to come into your life. Immediately; discernment will come into your life.

Verse 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

I declare to you that immediately; you will begin to shift people from inaccurate systems into the Kingdom of God.

Mark 4: 26 And He said, “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

I declare to you that your Harvest is here immediately. Begin to claim it. Begin to see it. The Harvest of the seven months will come forth and all that which you expect within a thousand years will manifest within one day. So that all these things should happen immediately. 

Chapter 5:29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

Verse 42 Immediately, the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.

I declare to you that immediately; you will begin to rise. The New Generation Church Must arise in the name of Jesus.

Immediately; you will send your sons on apostolic journeys and sent them to Pioneer in the Nations.

Verse 50 for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 51 Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed by themselves beyond measure and marveled.

I declare to you that immediately; Jesus will come into your boat. Immediately; the storm will cease in your life. Immediately; the spirit of fear will depart from your life.

verse 54 And when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, 55 ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.

I want to say to you when those who come in contact with you will see you immediately; they will recognize Christ in you. Immediately; they will celebrate Christ in you.

Chapter 7:35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

I want to declare to you that there will be acceleration. You will speak this message plainly. Make these things which are difficult plain. Those who come in contact with you. Immediately they will have intelligent hearing and begin to hear what the Lord is saying to the church.

Chapter 10:52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

I declare that those you come in contact with, immediately; the scales will fall from their eyes, and they will receive Apostolic sight.

Chapter 14:43 And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude of swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.” 45 As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 46 Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. 47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

Acceleration comes into your life when those who are meant to betray you betray you quickly. Those who are meant to betray you in the next 10 years must betray you quickly so that your life will be accelerated.

Chapter 15:1 Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. Then Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.”

Immediately; the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ will be established in the Earth. The Kingdom of God will increase and will accelerate on the Earth and that can only happen through a company of people who receive the word of acceleration.

I declare acceleration to you.

I declare immediately to you, in the name of Jesus. 

Grace and peace to you.  

 

Day Twelve: Fear And Despair Has Been Destroyed.

 

 

This is the last day of this bible plan and I trust that I have planted a seed of hope into your life and that you have received practical things you can do. You can have the victory if you follow the Word.

If there is one thing that stands out from the story of David, it is that he had a relationship with God. From that relationship, he could do mighty exploits. He became the champion of the nation of Israel in this momentous event, and later on, he became the king of Israel. But it all began when he had to shepherd his father’s sheep. Never despise the small beginnings because you don’t know where it will lead.

Every part of the Bible is for our edification and growth. It is also a very practical book that gives us the how and the what. A manual to govern our lives and receive the victory in Christ.

Twelve is the number of government; it is the number of completeness and wholeness. God wants us to walk in wholeness every day of our lives. He wants us to have dominion in our sphere of influence. Therefore, it is important to understand that when you take action in the right way, fear can be completely overcome.

Let’s look at the last four scriptures in I Sam 17.

51And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron. 53Then the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents. 54And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

• Because the mindset of despair and fear was broken, Israel could attack the Philistines. The battle has shifted from a victim to dominion. When Goliath’s head was cut off, the rulership returned to the nation.· 
• Then they pursued the Philistines to the valley and to the gates of Ekron. Ekron means barrenness and to be torn up by the roots. It is a place where many battles had taken place. It was also the last resting place of the ark before it returned to Jerusalem. The Philistines had to be torn up by their roots in the valley for Israel to take back what God has demanded and in its later years, Ekron was totally demolished. The roles were now switched. Israel was no longer in the valley, but the Philistines were.

·      The other point here is that they were chased to the gates of Ekron. Gates plays a vital part within the scriptures. God loves the gates of Zion. It is a place of victory. But in the case of Philistine, they had to be chased back into the gates, where they could be completely stripped from their arrogance. They had to return to the place of barrenness to be torn up by the root. Gates is a place of dominion and rulership and they understood that they were now totally stripped from their dominion. This was the final nail in the coffin.

• David took the head back to Jerusalem. The head is significant because it is the place where dominion is birthed. It is the place of rulership. By removing the head and taking it back to Saul, David demonstrated that the Philistines were defeated. Remember, on day two of this plan, we learned that Goliath was the champion of the Philistines. So, David showed them that this champion is now the defeated foe. David removed the head from his body.
• He placed Goliath’s armour in his tent. Goliath’s armour would have been valuable and useful. Up to this event, the Philistines had the upper hand over Israel. At that time in history, they didn’t allow blacksmiths to operate in Israel. The Israelites were virtually devoid of weapons because of the oppression of the Philistines. Again, we see David’s intelligence. He looked into the future. He knew this would not be his last battle. He prepared himself.

 

1 Samuel 13:19-22:

Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.”  (20)  But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle, (21) and the charge was two-thirds of a shekel for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads. (22)  So on the day of the battle there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.

Whose son is this?

In the last few scriptures, we learn a few significant truths.

· You will be unrecognizable to the people you know.

· A new leader was born.

· It changed how people looked at David.

· Saul didn’t recognize him.

· He was not judged by his looks or age any longer.

55When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?”

And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”

56So the king said, “Inquire whose son this young man is.”

57Then, as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58And Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?”

So David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

There is a lot more to say about this last piece of scripture, but I will stop here for now and recapture what we have learned.

The story of David and Goliath gives us valuable insight into the hearts of Saul and Israel. And into the hearts of the enemies of Israel, and into the hearts of the enemies of God. There is a distinct difference in these enemies. Again, this is a lesson for another day.

And most importantly, it gives us valuable insight into the heart of a leader.

When we know who we are in Christ and who the battle belongs to, we can overcome the enemy of our minds and the enemies of God.

We don’t have to stay in despair or fear. We can overcome this mental blockage or blind spots by the same way David did.

The story of David doesn’t stop here and is a great resource for our walk as believers. David is the template we can follow. Once we understand the application, we can overcome whatever the enemy throws at us.

But let us recap what we have learned over the last twelve days:

1. We must choose our place of battle correctly.

2. We must understand who we fight against.

3. God doesn’t use the ordinary but the extraordinary to defeat the enemy.

4. We must understand our mandate.

5. We must not rely on our own armour.

6. We must stay connected to the Living water.

7. Our stones must be smooth before they can be used.

8. Our future is secure in Christ.

9. We must be an exact representation of Christ.

10. We must know in whose name we fight.

11. We must know what the practical things are to overcome.

12. Fear and despair can be defeated.

As you continue your day, test where you are and align yourself with the Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth and walk in the victory you were meant to do.

 

Grace and peace to you.

 

Thanks for reading along. I trust that this Bible plan has convinced you to pick up the Bible and read it again. There are so many precious things in it that are useful for our daily life. Things that prepare us for the battle and give us the victory.
