1. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES for the
Favorable Year
Read all of Isaiah 61: 1 - 7 - especially:
Verse 2 - "To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance
of our God; To comfort all who mourn. . ."
Verse 7 - "Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead
of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will
possess a double portion in their land; Everlasting joy will be theirs."
Compare with Luke 4: 16 - 21 as quoted by Jesus in the synagogue on the Sabbath.
2. I HEARD HIS VOICE - "The Time for Favor Has Come!"
As many champions of the faith have graduated on to their heavenly reward in
recent months, so room has been made for the next generation of dread champions
to arise! Recently, the voice of the Holy Spirit drew near to me saying, "The
Time for Favor has Come!" Faith was ignited in my heart as His word exploded
within my heart. Close your eyes and see this for yourself. Hear the word of
the Lord coming to you, "The Time of favor has come!"
I have had repeated visions recently in which the King's scepter was lowered
to His chosen ones. Like Esther make your urgent appeal before His throne. It
is a Day when the King's Scepter is being lowered to His bride. His scepter
is being lowered. Make your appeal boldly - He wants you to draw near! Many
vessels have passed through His Fire. Now is the time to approach Father God
for it is an hour of Favor!
3. WHAT IS FAVOR? WHAT FOLLOWS FAVOR?
- Favor is the grace of God being manifested in a specific situation upon
a specific person for a specific task.
- Favor is the wagon that carries the cargo of faith.
- Favor is often preceded by acts of consecration and preparation.
- Favor is often followed by an increase of authority and power of God invested
in and through an individual or collective group of people.
- Favor comes upon you and displaces shame and humiliation. Favor releases
a knowing that victory is near.
- Favor results in the manifested presence of Jesus Christ being noticed
by others in and through your life.
4. A REMINDER
I encourage you to believe the Lord for supernatural encounters. It is a season
where the "light of God will shine on your life" and His favor will be manifested.
Luke 1: 28 - 30 recalls to us the words from God the Father through His messenger
Gabriel, "And coming in, he said to her, "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with
you." But she was greatly troubled at this statement, and kept pondering what
kind of salutation this might be. And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid,
Mary; for you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name
him Jesus."
Expect the manifested presence of God to draw near to you in this holiday season.
He is here. He is among us. His favor fell upon a young teenage woman named
Mary. Are you one of the Mary's God is looking for today? Are you ready to carry
His presence with you in new ways and give birth to His purposes and destiny
for your generation?
In this season, both in the natural and in the spiritual, expect His favor to
shine upon you and conception of fresh purposes to occur.
5. PRAYER PROCLAMATIONS For You to Make!
Make Declarations of Faith as an Act of Preparation for the New Year! Join me
in Prayer Proclamations and Watch your Faith level Rise!
- I am anointed by the Holy One of God. I am His chosen vessel. His presence
goes before me and dwells within me.
- Jesus Christ dwells in my heart by faith. Greater is He who dwells within
me than he who is in the world.
- The favor of the Lord is upon me! He has anointed me to proclaim the Good
News and to set captives free. My life is set apart to give God glory!
- The best is yet ahead for me and my family! God is for me - not against
me. Together, we make a great team! His plan, purpose and destiny for my life
shall be fulfilled.
- The enemies of my soul shall become like grasshoppers in my own sight.
I shall enforce the triumph of Christ over the powers of darkness and Jesus
shall be magnified through my life!
- The Time of Favor has Come!
6. FROM THE DESK of James (Jim) W. Goll
The past few weeks have found me ministering far and near at places like Guatemala
City, Guatemala, Indianapolis for Aglow International, Christian Believers United
in North Carolina, Jackson and Hermitage, TN and other places. The Lord is good
and literally thousands upon thousands have heard a fresh word from the Lord
and been exhorted by the Message: ReMantled for Life! (The CD is available with
this Vision Cast.)
Thanks to everyone who continues to stand on the wall for Ministry to the Nations
and the Goll Family! Once again we need you! I had surgery to clean out my sinuses
on December 15 which have been very troubling for me for the past few years.
Though the recovery has been long, I now breathe freely! So I Thank the Lord
for that!
Michal Ann is in need of a miracle in her body as she has three cancerous growths
in her colon. She is scheduled for surgery this Friday at 10:30 AM unless a
miracle occurs between now and then. She will also her gall bladder taken out
and a partial hysterectomy. So we need your prayers. She would be in the hospital
for 7 - 10 days with weeks of recovery at home. The Time for Favor has Come!
GraceAnn still plans on going on her missions trip to Indonesia and Singapore
the first two weeks of January and Rachel on a trip with her Youth Group to
CO also. Justin will return to The Call School on January 5th after being home
for the month of December.
May the Favor of the Lord rest on You this Holiday Season! May Jesus draw near
to you as we round the corner into another New Year. Thanks for partnering with
us in 2003! Watch for details on our March 18 - 20, 2004 Conference on The Sounds
of Heaven on Earth - The Convergence of Worship and Intercession with Mike Bickle,
Dutch Sheets, Ray Hughes, Jeff Deyo, Scott Brenner and many others.
