The Covenant Center

As we study the various words being released to the Body of Christ for 2010, one can find not only the encouragement to attain higher levels of past foundational directives, but also the illumination of new areas of heavenly focus that will increase this year. The directives compiled from various ministries include: increased prayer; restoration and provision; alignments and realignments including proper associations and relationships; resurrection and joy; continued preparation; continued challenges and testing coupled with opportunity, advancement and intimacy with God; increased levels of discernment and understanding; relocations; multiplications; increasing favor; a more intimate understanding of unity with God that releases a new level of unity in His Body; creativity; fathering; harvest, and increased anointing.

 There are also decrees being released concerning new revelation and understanding of holiness and consecration, along with a renewed understanding of the awe and fear of God. He will develop and breathe upon new Christian bands, while He also commissions teams of musicians, young and old, to assemble, write and play with a renewed heart of worship and outreach.

This year appears to be the season of greater release into the Marketplace for a fresh and pure expression of anointed writing, entrepreneurs, and business development. These areas coupled with increased gifting and expression in the creative arts and media will begin the charge toward the future, in what some compare to an approaching Reformation or Renaissance that will bring about change in not only the church culture, but the world. The lines of demarcation will continue to widen between obedience and lawlessness, truth and deception, the holy and the profane.

In this coming decade, it will become increasingly clear, the importance of spending time with God as we develop intimacy and the ability to hear His voice. Reading and studying the Word will be invaluable as we attain greater revelation and understanding of His statutes and precepts and make application of them in our daily lives.

As we study these revelations, it is important to remember that all prophecy not contained in Scripture is conditional. Timing in prophecy can be elusive, occurring very quickly or taking years to fulfill. It is easy to become over whelmed with the many messages being released or spoken. We may feel pressure to perform or make an attempt to deal with each directive in our personal life. We would like to encourage you to continue in your daily relationship and intimacy with God. Find out through prayer, Scripture, study, reviewing prophetic words and counsel, what it is God wants you to do for this year, and then simply apply yourself to it. Bob Jones recently encourage believers at Morningstar Ministries to just get up each morning, put one foot in front of the other, and know that God will take you to your destiny.

Our destiny is not a product or package to attain. It is experienced and lived out each day. Whatever this year and the future hold, our peace, strength and provision will continue to rest in our personal and intimate relationship with God. The knowledge of His love and care for us will continue to be an anchor as the winds of transformation continue to blow.

God bless you,

Richard and Becky Maisenbacher
