WELCOMING THE NEW YEAR 2014

Welcoming The New Year 2014

Basileia International Ministries

Norm & Margi Spencer, Senior Leaders

January 4, 2014

When I knew we were going to have the meeting and Norm selected the people he wanted to share tonight, like everyone else, I just went to the Lord and said, what do You want to say? I have nothing to say. What do You want to say? So I’m going to share with you what I heard.

I heard that 2014 is going to be a year of getting down to business. The Lord says, there is a shift happening. It has been happening but it is now picking up speed. Things are changing for the church and things are changing for the world, and few people have been noticing. The Lord says, “Pay attention! It is no longer business as usual. I am bringing change and you don’t want My change to pass you by. It is a slowly happening change. It is not an abrupt change. It’s a change you will miss if you’re not looking for it. You have to want it to get it and you have to seek Me to receive it."

I also heard that 2014 is a year of separation, consecration and declaration. The Lord says, "The lines continue to be drawn. The world systems are rearing up and clashing against the Kingdom. What you saw happen with Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty is nothing but a foretaste of an antichrist impetus rising. What is good is called evil, says the Lord, bigoted and intolerant. What is evil is called good and acceptable. My people will no longer be able to sit on the fence, remain comfortable, and hide behind their organized religions with man-made doctrines, their church walls or their misguided opinions. The Lord says, choose this day whose you are and whom you will serve. All peoples will have to declare themselves sooner or later, says the Lord, for Me or against Me, yea or nay, for My words or against My words. I will no longer tolerate man’s opinion to rule in My church. And I will no longer tolerate sitting on the fence being lukewarm. Being lukewarm is unpalatable to Me!”

I heard that 2014 will be a year of continued social unrest & global instability, especially for the United States as a nation. The Lord says, “World leaders keep crying out peace. They keep attempting to establish a pseudo peace based on contracts and lies, based on monetary subsidies and carnal negotiations that mean nothing because they lie even to themselves. There will be no peace until the King of Peace rules in men’s hearts. There will be no stability until the King of Kings becomes mankind’s solid foundation. My people, focus on Me and do not become entangled in their affairs. Keep your hearts stayed on me. Be wise and live wisely. Make sure what you are building is being built on solid rock so it will stand. I am looking for fruit that remains.”

I also heard that 2014 will be a year of accelerated reaping what has been sown either for the good or for the bad. The Lord says, “Spiritual law demands the growth and harvest of what has been sown – whether for your benefit or the benefit of others; or for your detriment or the detriment of others. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. (Matt. 7:18 ESV) Every seed bears after its own kind. This is spiritual principle and law. But in this season I have accelerated growth for the reaping of the harvest. The things you have planted, seeing little results, have now begun multiplying to your benefit or to your detriment, whichever you chose. You’re on My timeline for acceleration, says God. What My people sowed in good faith you will reap with rejoicing. What they sowed in disobedience, they will now reap in suffering. I will no longer stand idly by and appear to be condoning rebellion.”

2014, the Lord says, I am blurring the lines that separate you. The Lord says, “I am releasing a new stability & sense of wellbeing to My Church. I am interconnecting, intertwining and interlocking My people. People and groups who would never walk together before, will begin to see the bigger picture and walk together for My purposes and in My name. You will see this happening and rejoice, for I am unifying my Body not based on doctrine but around Myself.”

Then I heard Him say, in 2014 I am releasing a new level of discernment to those who will have ears to hear. He says, “Last year I told you I was going to begin separating the authentic from the unauthentic. Do you remember that word at the close of 2012? December 29, 2012? Not last year, the word for last year. The Lord says, I have already started doing this and it will continue through 2014. As I separate the authentic from the unauthentic, the true from the untrue, you will need greater discernment to know the difference. Just because it looks good and says it bears my name, does not make it Me. The Lord says, I would that you discern the difference so I am releasing greater levels of discernment to you so you are not caught unaware. I am causing the pendulum to swing to the middle for the church when it comes to supernatural manifestations. Selah!

And finally today, I heard the word……..prepare! Change is coming! Put yourself in motion, be intentional and purposed in your doings. Prepare your heart, prepare your mind, prepare your finances, and prepare your homes.

And lastly, 2014 is the year of acceleration for the fulfillment of the Mandate of Malachi 4:6 in the Church of Jesus Christ – turning back the heart of fathers to sons, and the heart of sons to their fathers, biologically and spiritually.

As Paul said to the Corinthians, “After all, though you should have ten thousand teachers (guides to direct you) in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the glad tidings (the Gospel).” I Cor. 4:15 AMP

Fatherhood is relational, not ecclesiastical or organizational! Fatherhood is relational.
