WORD FOR 2022






Before I read what Father has given me, I would just like to deal with some logistics as I do not want to break the flow and the move of the Spirit.  I have added my telegram link right on top of this message for my devotionals for those who would like to receive them on telegram.  You are welcome to subscribe.  Thank you.



I spent the closing of 2021 on the evening of 31st December with Father and had an immense gratitude for the year that has passed.  Indeed not an easy year, but a year of growth for me personally and the Bride as a whole.  It has been a time of sifting and as it often is concerning the Church, persecution is the one thing that either brings out the worst or the best out of her.  She either falls or stands.   Whatever lays within the crevices of her heart would have been exposed and brought to the light by these shakings.  Indeed He said that He would shake that which can be shaken and many have been sifted in this shaking, even as this earth groaned in 2021 under the the shaking of many earthquakes.  Yet, all this happened whilst our Father is in perfect control.  Some have confessed to this, but have failed to live up to it.  Others have grown in Him and His peace that He promised He would give in this time.  

A week or so I asked Father what would He like to say to me regarding 2022.  He gave me one word at the time, but last night He elaborated.  In 2020 Father gave me the word ACCELARATION, 2021 He gave me NEW LIFE, but this year I thought the the word to be JUDGMENT, but the word for 2022 is in fact FIRE.  Often a natural manifestation of that which is happening in the spiritual will occur for the purpose of speaking to us about the present spiritual climate.  And so 2021 ended and 2022 began with fire.  The earth is indeed heating up, and hell is being stirred to open her mouth wide.  

 

Isaiah 5: 14 - 16

14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

 

Fires and an immense increase in volcanoes have been part of 2021 for the most, but 2022 will be like no other.   

Apart from the word of judgment, I received two words from Father for the worker bride.  One on the 28th October in 2020 and the other on the 3rd November 2020.  For a while now I have asked the Most High to confirm to me as to when He would like me to post this again.  So in total there are 3 words. The fire of judgment and the fire of glory. The Word of the Fire of Judgment is first, followed by two words under Fire of Glory.  Under Fire of Glory, the first word is for those who are in the five-fold ministry and are operating and walking in their call.  These are the Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Evangelists and Pastors that He has specifically prepared for this time.  In no way is this a general term or a general word.  Simply meaning, just because you hold to the title does not qualify you.  These are the Oaks of Righteousness.  The Priests that oversee His flock.  The second word of Fire of Glory is for the worker groups that will be sent out in this time like arrows.  I suspect things will first get much worse, before this will happen, but we are to seek His face until and obey His every word.  Interestingly Strong's 222 means flame of God and Strong's 2222 means ZoĆ©, which is spiritual life as well as a drop or dripping, used once in Psalm 72: 6.  It reads: He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass.  Like showers that water the earth. The earth will definitely be thirsty during the fire of judgment and much needed rain.   As with all persecution through the ages, the real church will stand up.  Not only stand up, but grow immensely.  This standing is in no ways to be confused with the wisdom of this world in pride, rebellion and rioting, but in meekness, power and the Spirit of God where the God of peace will soon bruise Satan underneath our feet.  I expect exponential growth in the time to come, now just in spiritual matters, but in the speed it will come. For as persecution grows, so those who have not woken up as yet, concerning the worker-bride, will in fact realize that time is up and join the race in fervor.  The Church has within her fiber that which when her faith is tried as with fire, she comes forth as pure gold.  And it is then that she cries out to her God in absolute dependence, having been stripped of all, and He alone receives the glory.  So shall it be in 2022.  

It will be a year of opposites.  2022 is the year of 2's.  Cold and hot.  Chaos and Peace.  Hate and love.  True light and dense darkness. A year of greater division, but also conversions.  The two opposites as they increase in this world will eventually meet like that of the figure 8 in the middle, and like a key that opens the door, the Church will step into her rightful position at the appointed time.  This is a year of appointed times where that which was spoken in the past over many lives for which He has prepared His chosen ones, that which is future, will be birthed and those who have been in hiding will come forth as butterflies in the newness of His life.  This will be at His appointed time and the doors of purpose will open.  As I write this I am reminded of a very good friend of mine, who bought a necklace and it actually portrays the meaning.  It is in the form of a butterfly, but within the number 8.  

 


This reminding me that the enemy has been waiting for the fulfilment of time, that is to say his symbol is the “ouroboros” which is a circular symbol depicting a snake, or less commonly a dragon, swallowing its tail, as an emblem of wholeness or infinity.  This too is often depicted in a sideways 8 resembling infinity.  The 88 miles we keep on seeing, the completing of the process of order out of chaos.  I can think of a particular country that has a dragon as an object of worship and much more.  Be that as it may, where the enemy is waiting for the tail to reach its mouth, self-annihilating in order to bring in their ultimate dominion over this world…the Great Reset, so the earth is in travail for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God.  This is why there is such a thing as a “Doomsday Clock” and the climate will definitely change.  They know this.  Contrary to this the Most High has chosen 8 as His symbol for infinity, linking it directly to covenant.  One can portray this as the butterfly that has to break open the sack in which it finds itself, the veil if you will, a rebirth, and in this case the birth of the new creature, the resurrection life in His sons and daughters.  Flying up into newness of life.  And the two opposites will be seen in its full capacity as the destruction of the enemy and the new life of the Most High in His sons and daughters meet once again.  Where will they meet?  At the same place the enemy was defeated…the cross.  The cross will once again triumph over the enemy, for it was there that utmost malignity met with mercy and had to hand over the keys of hell and death in defeat.   

PSALM 19: 5 - 6

5Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 

Maybe you feel disappointed that such a weak analogy is used like a butterfly to express this new creation that will overcome the enemy.  The enemy a dragon and we the butterflies.  But does this not hold true to the character and truth of our Mighty King?  He who became a babe in the weakness of flesh and destroyed the forces of the enemy on a cross by dying and being raised in newness of life? 

 

1 CORINTHIANS 1: 27

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

Trust our amazing God to destroy dragons with the likes of butterflies!

Even though the gulf between the two opposites will increase, the heightened spiritual atmosphere of both realities will meet.  Mercy and Judgment will kiss, for His judgment is His mercy.  Many wil l for the first time operate in that which they were called to, but they will have to go through the fire right to the point of meeting.  The Church will cry out to God with all her might, knowing that it is in fact He that has brought her to this place of ashes, in the same way that He did with His righteous servant Job.  And just like Job, she will have to come to terms with this God who devastates in order to raise up the dead.  Only His life will do in the time to come, that is to say the resurrection life that raised His Son.  Where 2021 has been a year of SIFTING through shaking, 2022 will be a year of TESTING with fire.  Those who have built their lives on the right foundation, that is to say the unadulterated truth, as well as obeying that truth, will find themselves secure in this time of testing.  Whatever is not of Him, will be burnt up by this fire and when we repent, He will heal and restore.  The fire will first start within the Church to burn away any dross and so expect an increase of "heat". It will be a time where many will walk away from the faith thinking that He has forsaken them, even as others will turn to Him in greater dependence.  Those who turn away, just like we read in John 6: 66, have built their faith on sinking sand and will not endure the firestorm.  Those who turn to Him will be thirsty for righteousness, the dripping, the river that will flow from His throne, which is to say from the burning hearts of His chosen ones where He is enthroned, having sanctified them through fiery trials. 

Expect this to happen in your homes and know that this fiery sword is not of man, but of the Lord of Hosts.  For He is coming as the Lord, strong and mighty, mighty in battle to take possession of that which belongs to Him.  For the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof and all they that dwell therein.  For He has founded the earth on the seas and established it on the floods.  Bringing a great sword upon this earth between families whether at home or church.  A great sword amongst the nations.  Make no mistake...IT IS HIS SWORD. The year of opposites, the year of FIRE is upon us.  This FIRE is of our God, for He is a consuming fire.  This fire is His holiness that will burn white hot on this earth in judgment and in the hearts of His children in glory.  Fire that will burn away the dross and fire that will consume to the uttermost.  

Before I read the following scriptures, I want you to understand that it is not for the purpose of supporting the Word Father has given me, although it certainly does, but for the purpose of declaring the Word of God and entering this year with a deep seated knowing that amidst everything we will face, our Mighty God is on the throne.  I could have easily just given you the scripture references, but the purpose of the reading, is the declaration of the Word of God and the professing of His sovereignty and purposes with His children and this world.  Listen with end-time ears and understanding.  May you listen with faith and receive with faith the reading of these scriptures in the light of what I said, as well as the words for 2022 He gave me thereafter. 

 PSALM 97

 

The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

For thou, Lord, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

HEBREWS 12: 26 - 29


26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.


ACTS 2: 1 - 4; 16 - 21; 36 - 47

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

 

FIRE OF JUDGMENT


 DARK TIMES

Dark times are to come My Children.  Ever increasing as prophecy is being fulfilled.  Those who are holy will indeed become more holy and the vile even more so.  For the ground of the lukewarm is increasing to the point where I have to reject those who have turned their backs on Me.

How much longer shall I plead through My holy prophets?

How much longer must I plead through My Shepherds?

But these children are obstinate and rebellious, and like the Israelites of old, they shall not enter because of their unbelief.   They no longer seek My coming, but revel in this world.  Married to the system and set on spreading their legs to those who pass by.  Profane and sickened to the degree of depravity, they will go in order to save their lives.  

But I will not be mocked, for what they sow, they will reap.  Am I not the Lord of the Harvest?  Shall My sickle not also require of them in a time of harvest?  Shall there not be a time when the tares will be separated from the wheat?  But yet, they no longer believe and worse, they do not fear.

Even so, those who have sought Me and have grown in holiness and love shall reap a reward abundantly, for I will draw them unto Me.  

A time of great rejoicing and a time of great weeping.

A time for dancing and a time for lamenting.

These extremes will increase and the chasm between the holy and profane will increase, until those set on saving their lives will fall to their death.  

Therefore My Children, seek Me as never before, for the time to seek Me is almost over.  Where will you be found when I come to get My Bride?  Will you be looking up to Me or will you be looking down to this world?  Never before has the time to seek Me been more critical, whilst I still may be found, than now.  

Therefore, examine your hearts, seek Me and draw continually closer in intimacy with Me.  Use your time wisely for time as you know it, is about to change.  Use it wisely and draw near to Me.  Listen when I speak to you and be quick to obey.  I will never lead you wrong. 

But the rebellious will have their due, only you obey and live.  I will never leave you My Children.  No never.  Even more so I am closer to you in the darkest of time approaching.  

Be of good cheer.  Remember, I have overcome this world.

 

 

FIRE OF GLORY


OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

(Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Evangelists and Pastors)

As pure gold that comes forth from the furnace, so are My priests. Chosen, forged, sanctified and holy. The priests are those who go before, for My holiness, the Ark that they bare makes the way. 

For who can stand in My presence? Is it not with those I will go? Those who know Me?  As I was with My disciples and poured out My Spirit upon them, so once again I will pour out My Spirit on My Oaks of Righteousness.  They are the ones who have grown deep into the soil of My love.  They have endured seasons of all kinds and have stood the test of time.  Many storms have come and gone and yet they remain. Yet they stand.  As fire comes down from above so it will hit the tallest trees.  It will then go down to fill the whole earth.  I will be the glory in their midst.  As My fire column went with the Israelites in the desert, in the dark, so My presence, My glory will be with them in this dark hour.  They will shine and the darkness will not overwhelm them. 

Surely My glory will fill the whole earth.  A great harvest will come, however the harvest workers be so few.  One will bring in a nation another a thousand, but My Spirit will work through them as never before.  A Kingdom of Priests that I have prepared.  I Myself have prepared them and called them for such a time as this. 

It is time. 

Many be there who will hear and be converted, but many will close their ears and run from the salvation I so freely give.  

Woe, woe to those who turn from their Creator!  Woe to those who turn their faces from My Word of deliverance!  I will not be mocked!

Get ready My Priests.   Enter into the veil and commune with Me.  Enter into My glory and draw near.  As Moses was before Me, so shall you shine unveiled and no man shall stand before you.  It will be a fearful time and My fear will fall upon the nations.  First the glory, then the sorrow.  Therefore, make ready.  Draw near to Me. 

It is time. 

As I stood before My prophet and Apostle, Moses, in the burning bush, so I will stand in the midst of you.  My glory will burn in you as I fill you with My Spirit.  You will go as he did and declare unto Pharaoh to let My people go!  You will stand in the full authority of the sent out ones to declare I AM.  A demonstration of My glory will proceed from your mouth and you will speak My words.  Great exploits through My Holy Ones.  Many will fear and turn to Me.

Do not fear My Chosen Ones.  I am with you.  Do not look to what you can do, for you are only the bush.  You are only the tree.  But My glory will do great exploits through you.  Therefore, wait upon Me. 

Have I not said that those who wait upon Me will rise up with eagle’s wings, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.  Wait therefore and I will strengthen and fill you in due time.  Get ready, position yourself, sanctify and set yourself apart unto Me afresh. 

Wait on Me. I come!

Isaiah 40: 31; Isaiah 61

(In my research I have learned that Oaks are fire-resistant)

 

MY FIERY ONES 

(The Worker Group)

I will not forsake you.  At the appointed time I will send forth My mighty arrows.  I will send them to be the light in this dark world.  Do not fear, but trust.  I will be with you.  I will display My glory through you.  It will be as a wave of reformation – a Kingdom Reformation.

Truth will flow in the streets and rivers of healing until the appointed time for these rivers to dry up.  Those who are thirsty will come and drink.  They will run and cleave to My Chosen Ones for the thirst of their hearts.  Once again a flood will come and I will send you to the nations and I will be with you.  Darkness will come and it will overwhelm, because the light then has been removed.  While there is still time, while they can still hear the call and drawing of My Spirit, they will come. 

Do not fear what will come.  Shall I send and not supply?  Shall I call and not equip? Therefore come and drink now.  Come drink of Me.  Is My Word not like a fire that I will send forth?  Do not fear.  My Word will never return void.  I have exalted My Word above My Name.  The time has come for My vessels to be filled.  For the water to turn into wine.  He who is wise will turn to feast at My table, to commune with Me in this time. 

New wine, fire and living water. 

The world is thirsty for the true wine, the fire of My Spirit and My living water. Those vessels prepared will do great exploits in My Name for My sake, for My Kingdom. They have drunk from My wine, they have been sanctified by My fire and have been filled with My living waters. 

They will go out and prepare the nations for the marriage feast. To be ready and to lay their lives down.  They will go forth in the highways and byways and call them to prepare their wedding garments and to turn to Me again.  So come, prepare your hearts and feast with Me now. Sanctify yourself unto Me and I shall send you, My fiery Ones.

Scripture Ref:

Psalm 144; Acts 2


I am ending this devotional with a reading from Daniel 3 where three men found themselves in a furnace that was heated 7 times more than what the king originally wanted.  These were three men that refused to bow down to the gods of that king and were willing to lay their lives down.  We can only expect the heat to go up 7 times more, 7 also meaning completion or to the fullest degree amongst other things, but one thing we can know beyond anything is…WE ARE NOT ALONE. 

DANIEL 3: 16 - 28

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was won’t to be heated.

20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
