God's Word for 2024
As a couple, Eloise and I have gone through some things over the years. We have experienced times of lack and times of need. We have had times when we had no idea what we would feed our children, or ourselves. Not only that, but we have spent time in the presence of God until all we can do is depend on him for everything.
Since the year 2018, the Lord took us out of the local church and we began our training. In 2016, we began praying for a new vehicle. Yes, we did get a vehicle. Was it new? No! Was it what we wanted? No! We did get it for free. At that point, we realized that it was what our faith could produce. So we had to continue going to the throne. We had to continue learning and practicing exercising our faith.
In 2020 with no idea or plan of getting a new vehicle. We went to the bank in obedience, and we got the money for our new SAV no money down, and no questions asked. One day we went to the bank only to inquire about our options. The account manager started asking questions and we answered. In the end, we signed some documents, and he said I am giving you the most I can as a personal Loan. Long story short, we got a vehicle that belonged to us and not the bank. In 2022, I lost my job, and we found ourselves yet in another place where we had to stand in faith for finances. We had to travel to South Africa for my graduation, all the way from Saint Martin, where we live.
We did not have the amount of money this trip cost. The tickets alone cost roughly around ten thousand euros. Here we were in another place, we had to have our faith tested. We spent hours in prayer after the Lord answered and gave clear directions. I was like no, that is not the Lord. Impossible! Let's go back to the Lord and ask. We missed him! He answered and it was the same answer. Again I said Lord I may have missed you. What is going on? You are sending us to these places and asking us to go to this individual to fund our travels?
We continue to need to produce supernatural faith-like results. Month after month we were being tested and trained by the Holy Spirit. We were experiencing so much financial and health shake-up. We were questioning each other and wondering how are we going to make this happen. But like the God He is, he continued to come through for us. He continued to prove why He is God. Over the years, we have been able to connect with so many like-minded people and leaders. They have a calling and some have no idea. Others desire to serve no matter their circumstances. We saw the similarities, and we saw the call of God on their lives!
The test was to look beyond our circumstances and feed and clothe people even when we were in need. Pray for those who needed healing while we were battling with illnesses as well. We were being thrust into something we were not prepared for or qualified for in our, eyes. Or so we thought! Yet, the Lord kept arranging circumstances that led us to where we are today. Everything you overcame in 2023 prepared you for 2024. You have matured in many ways, You passed the tests and are now qualified for your reward.
Mervin Flanders. "Season of increase and Supernatural growth.''
As I sought the Lord for his word for his people for this new year 2024. This is what I heard. This is a season of increase and supernatural growth. I could not understand what it meant. As I asked the Lord for clarity, this was the revelation behind this word.
This season my child is for all who have been faithful with few. All that has been waiting for my increase, waiting for my touch of healing. My children you have been expecting supernatural changes. You have been crying out to me by faith for your prayers to be answered. You felt as if you had been at the back of the line. You have been living with no clear direction or plan. You have been standing in obedience and waiting for my word. My children have been looked down upon. They have lost so much for my sake and name. They have lost their parents and siblings. Wives, husbands, and children. They have lost jobs and relationships. They have been crying out to the Lord to see the manifestation of his power in their lives.
Eloise Flanders. "You will recover all."
Isaiah 58: 8 -12 8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward. 9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
This only applies to those who do as the Lord requires. Those who feed the hungry and clothe the poor. Those who do not call the Lord's name in vain but draw closer to Him in truth. They are willing to turn down their plates and from their wicked ways. Those who seek My face, I will wipe their slates clean. I will forgive their sins, and heal their bodies and their land. Do away with your vain worship of idols. Kill the spirit of pride and rebellion. Turn your hearts back to the Lord, come out of agreement with the enemy, and you will see My hand at work for you. Proof that you are in covenant with Me is a true heart of repentance. Those who come against you, come against Me. Those who gather against you will fall. I will send my fire to burn their altars, their idols will fall, and their land will become a wasteland. This is the heritage of the righteous, said the Lord. You will recover all when you do as I have commanded.
