In the Message version I saw this in Matthew 9:27-31, "When Jesus got home, the blind men went in with him. Jesus said to them, "do you believe I can do this?" They said, "Why yes, Master!"
He touched their eyes and said,
"Become what you believe."
What do you believe for 2009? This battle in the mind we fight is a 'moment by moment' choice of what do we believe?
This year will be the best year ever for many. If you need to turn off the news, turn it off. If you need to adjust your style of living to get debt free, do it, whatever it takes. If you need to step out in faith and risk it all, to accomplish what God has called you to do, then do it. Get trusted friends to intercede for you as you go into this year. Offer to pray fervently for those around you. Listen to the voice of the Lord, through His word, through His signs, and speak words of hope, life, comfort, and encouragement as in 1 Cor. 14:3
You are in right standing with God because of what Jesus did. Wake up! Snap out of it! It being self-centeredness, greed, fear, and doubt. Walk out your destiny full of joy, your strength, spiritual eyes set on the Lord and His Kingdom. You have in your hand everything you need to walk in the supernatural reality Jesus walked in. It is a completed work and you can be that overcomer the Bible speaks about. Remember, the great cloud of witnesses cheering you on.
Heaven is invading earth. Allow God to invade your heart with His Holy Spirit love invasion. Join the army of God taking the glory realm to the world around you, one soul at a time. Go forth bold warrior in 2009. Take your promised land and take others with you as you go. We are with you. (as in John 17).
See the eternal, spiritual realm more and more. Go there now. We have access. We are believing with you to believe as the Lord desires us all to believe.
Nations await. The seven mountains await your arrival. How will you go? Mark 11:22-25 shows us clearly, from the Message, "Jesus was matter of fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake'--no shuffling or shilly-shallying---and it's good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging frm small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it's not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive---only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins. "
