People of God, 2006 is a year of great release and manifestation. The Lord spoke to us coming into 2006, and declared that this would be a year of "divine fulfillment!" Because this is a year to reap a bountiful harvest, it is imperative that we have great focus in this year. This is a time when we have to really make our walk with Christ a very personal one.

 

We must:

 

Ensure that we are taking full responsibility for our personal development with God. We must really press into God with great passion. This is a season when it has to be very personal between you and God. This is a time when we must allow God access to every part of us. There can be no area that is off-limits to God!

 

There can be no more hiding behind pain, disappointment, regret, or unresolved issues. Last year, God instructed us to wake up and “Be Alive.” This meant that we could no longer slumber through life, but that we had to be alert and actively engaged on a daily basis.

 

This is a year for total intimacy! Intimacy on a level that you have never experienced before. The Holy Spirit has declared that God is waiting to reveal himself in new ways. He wants to reveal greater insight into the mysteries and the secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of Himself, that the Kingdom will be established in greater manifestation in the earth.

 

Therefore, we are “Making It Personal” with:

 

God

 

Pursuing God like you never have before.

 

Taking responsibility for your continued growth and development in God.

 

You have to become so connected to God that you depend on Him for your next breath of air.

 

Be alive and actively engaged in your communion with the Holy Spirit.

 

 

With Yourself

 

Laying aside every weight and sin that so easily besets you. It is time to be completely delivered from every enslaving yoke.

 

Begin making the necessary judgment calls on your own life. This means you need to stop and evaluate yourself, and make any mid-course corrections, so that you will be free from any and all hindrances to your destiny.

 

 

The Enemy

 

You cannot afford to be ignorant concerning Satan's devices. (2 Corinthians 2:11)

 

His job is to kill, steal and destroy. (John 10:10)

 

Fight back and use your keys of binding and loosening. (Matthew 18:18)

 

You must become the aggressor, and go after what you know is yours! Recover everything you know the enemy is trying to steal from you.

 

Actively, Aggressively  Pursuing……...

 

Let us take a closer look at what the Holy Spirit is prophetically speaking to us in this season.

 

The word Active means:

 

To be constantly engaged in action

In a state of action

In actual existence (not something you think about)

Progress or motion

Involving physical action or effort

Having the power of quick motion

Causing change

Capable of exerting influence

To be effective and profitable

 

Again, I see why God insisted that we wake up on last year. There is no way that we can become active, if we are not fully awake!

 

The word Aggressive means:

 

Attack

Full of enterprise and initiative

Bold, active

 

This is not the season to be a coward. Pray and ask God for courage to move forward. Now is the time, this is the season. Whatever you are going to do, do it now! Move while there is grace and favor being released for you this year.

 

The word Pursue means:

 

To follow in order

Strive to gain

Seek to attain or accomplish a purpose

To continue to annoy, afflict or trouble (the enemy!)

To follow in pursuit (God)

 

“My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.”

 

In the above passage of scripture, notice the psalmist David said my soul followeth “hard” after thee. The word hard in the original languages (Strongs 1692) [dabaq/daw bak]means cleave, follow hard, stick, keep fast together, abide, close, joined to, cling, stick, stay close, cleave, keep close, stick to, stick with, follow closely, join to, overtake, catch.

 

Saints of God, in 2006 this must be our spiritual posture. We must follow hard after God. We are pursuing him like never before. We must cleave to God, follow his every instruction, cling to Him, long for him, be joined to Him in a deeper way.

 

We must become aggressive in our pursuit of God, meaning that we must begin to be the one who initiates the love affair. We must go after God. We must make more and more time to spend in uninterrupted fellowship with Him.

 

Then  we must also be aggressive where the enemy is concerned, and stop being reactive. Don’t wait to respond to an attack, you go on the attack with the Word of God in your mouth; which is a powerful weapon of warfare, a two-edged sword.

 

You must continue to pursue the enemy, until you overtake and overthrow everything that is contrary to the will of God for your life.

 

This year people of God, let us really “Make it Personal” with God, with yourself, and with the enemy.
