WORD FOR 2017 – “REACH FOR THE SKY!!!!!”by Lana |
As
I sat with the Lord, seeking His heart for 2017, I kept hearing the
line from the Toy Story Movie where Woody declares “REACH FOR THE
SKY!!!!”, followed closely by the words “IT’S TIME TO ARRIVE AND
FLY!!!!!!!”
I
then began to hear the sighs of God’s people all across the earth and
it was a sigh of relief, it was a sigh that shouted the word “FINALLY”
loudly across the earth. I saw TEARS of RELIEF flowing down the cheeks
of God’s people as they SAW RELIEF with their eyes. Their “FINALLY”
moment had arrived.
The
Lord has been speaking breakthrough over and over again in this season,
He has been speaking about divine surprises, He has been speaking about
increase and upgrade and that is the season that we are in. 2016 has
been a year of intensity, of trial and pressure. Many have experienced
fire like they have never known. I saw many carrying a heavy heart with
the words written across it “2016 just wasn’t the year I thought it
would be!!”
I
want to encourage you this IS your season of breakthrough! This IS the
season of awakening, greater manifestation of freedom, increase and
extension for the body of Christ.
GOD
IS BRINGING RELIEF IN 2017!!! A lot of this intensity, a lot of this
feeling of “I’m going to die”, “I can’t hold on much more” is going to
LIFT and an EASE and REST will be found in Jesus in 2017 where you will
breathe easy again! That’s not to say there will not be trials and
struggles in 2017, but there will be another level of breakthrough and
place of “resting in the Lord” found by the body of Christ as they lean
in.
God is bringing His people to the place of knowing what it is to “walk with Him in the cool of the day”. (Genesis 3:8)
There
is great refreshing coming in 2017. To know His breath, His presence,
the invitation to deeper place of intimacy. To know the wind of the
Spirit, the winds of change, the winds of reviving, the winds of
resurrection power. The winds of LIFE as you COMMUNE and walk with Him.
There
is a greater accuracy of hearing God is developing in His people in
2017. In the acceleration that will increase in 2017, make sure you are
taking time to be STILL, to be with Him, to be IN the word to HEAR His
whisper. There will be LOUD confirmations in 2017 of the words of the
Lord, but He will also be speaking in the whisper, listen for the Holy
Spirit wind.
THE 2016 PRESSURE POINT
2016
for many felt like it was a continual “pressing of a pressure point”
but I want to encourage you, that in the pressure, in the stretching, in
the fire, God has been moulding you, preparing you, shaping you,
bringing dross to the surface and healing you. He has been purifying
you, cleaning your heart, pruning you for promotion and to shine His
light and reflect Him clearer than ever before. The pressure point has
been continually pressed in 2016, but you are about to experience GREAT
RELIEF in 2017.
“He
will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the
Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have
men who will bring offerings in righteousness,” (Malachi 3:3)
This
IS the season of returning to the first love. The pressure and warfare
the body of Christ has faced in this season has caused the people of God
to RUN to Him like never before. It has stripped anything we try to
rely on besides Him. He has been DEEPENING our intimacy with Him and
maturing His people as we lean in with our YES to Him.
REACH FOR THE SKY, IT’S TIME TO ARRIVE AND FLY
Ephesians
3:20 has been swirling around in the Spirit for me a lot lately. The
Lord has been highlighting it over and over again, that we are in the
season of the manifestation of Ephesians 3:20 in ways we have never
seen.
“God
will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most
unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo
them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you!
Ephesians 3:20 (The Passion Translation)
What
has held you down in 2016, God is BREAKING OFF and you are going to
know what it is to FLY on the winds of the Spirit in ease, insight,
revelation and PEACE in 2016. The enemy and his demonic forces have
worked hard in 2016 to steal the peace of God’s people, but God has been
training His people how to HOLD their peace in Him despite the storms
in 2016. Your sowing into keeping your peace in 2016 will produce for
you a great HARVEST of PEACE and JOY in 2017.
I
heard the words "There will be STORMS in 2017 but they won't have CLAWS
because of the JOY and PEACE that I am releasing. Such a deep solidity
and expectancy in My people of what I am doing in 2017, the storms may
ROAR, but MY ROAR as the Lion of Judah bringing RECOMPENSE, the birthing
of NEW LIFE and revelation of who I am, My people will LIVE ABOVE the
storms like NEVER BEFORE."
2017 IS GOING TO BE A DIVINE SURPRISE!!!
2017
is going to be a DIVINE SURPRISE for many. Whether you have faith for
great things in 2017, or whether you are feeling hopeless and finding it
hard to believe again. The Lord is going to SURPRISE you in 2017. The
Lord has been speaking about surprises all year, but some things that
you haven’t even expected or you even have a “grid for” is going to be
brought to you “on a silver platter” in 2017. Favour is going to knock
on your door with divine surprises in 2017.
HE IS NOT ONLY GOING TO “COME THROUGH”, HE IS GOING TO “OUT DO”
“God
will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most
unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo
them all….” - Ephesians 3:20 (The Passion Translation)
He
is going to SUDDENLY ENERGISE YOU AGAIN!!! The resurrection power of
God is going to manifest in your life in more ways than it has in 2016.
What the enemy thought he had victory over, what the enemy thought he
got away with stealing in 2016, the Lord is going to RELEASE BACK TO YOU
in 2017. Ground is going to be taken back in 2017. He is going to
RESURRECT all the dead and dry places within your heart and soul as you
SEE HIM and He is going to give you the CAPACITY to DREAM AGAIN!!!!
There will be SUCH DEEP HEALING manifested in 2017, you will have your
strength back in the natural exploding from HIS miraculous power
energising you!
God
is going to cause you to REACH FOR THE SKY in 2017. He’s going to ask
you to lay your dreams on the table and INCREASE them. He is going to
ask you to believe for greater things that you ever have. He is going to
ask you to dream things that are bigger than you ever have. He is going
to ask you to do things that you never imagined possible or thought you
could.
“Do
not let PROVISION HINDER YOUR VISION and your REACHING FOR THE SKY in
2017!!!!! Dream with Me, and believe that I am going to bring
SUPERNATURAL PROVISION that will FAR OUTWEIGH your VISION. I am going to
OUTDO your VISION with my DIVINE PROVISION!!!”
THERE WILL BE STRETCHING IN 2017
There
will be a great stretching in 2017, but it will not be like the
‘stretching’ we have felt in 2016. It is going to be a JOYFUL
STRETCHING. It is going to be a STRETCHING in the “FINALLY” moments. The
moments of ARRIVAL.
The
lightning bolt of God’s power is going to STRIKE in 2017 release the
power of God into dreams and visions with DOUBLE PORTIONS. The things
HELD AT RANSOM or HINDERED in 2016 will be released with DOUBLE PORTIONS
in 2017. Where many of you have contended for so long for your own life
and promises and the lives and promises of your family and those around
you, and it feels like the BREAKTHROUGH STARTS but then gets HALTED or
DELAYED, the Lord is going to RULE with an IRON FIST and bring the
DIVINE STRIKE that will release a CLEAN SWEEP of breakthrough, heavenly
justice and RE-ALIGNMENT to lead you not only into the manifestation of
what He promised but into completely NEW AREAS.
THE 2017 MOUNTAINTOP
I
heard the words “2016 has been a VALLEY for many, but 2017 is going to
be a MOUNTAINTOP!” For so long, many have been trying to “get through”
2016 and make it through alive, in 2017 you will see the FRUIT of your
obedience, stewardship, prayers and “one foot in front of the other”
every day to not give up, ON THE MOUNTAINTOP!!!!
You
have known what it is to live with the Lord in the VALLEY, but in 2017
there will be MANY MOUNTAINTOP experiences/encounters with Jesus. You
will know what it is to live on the MOUNTAINTOP with the Lord. You will
know what it is to have clearer INSIGHT, SIGHT, WISDOM and heavenly
encounter with Jesus than you EVER have. You will know what it is to
live in a place of continual revelation and refreshing, as your roots
have broken deep into places of intimacy with Him that you never
imagined possible.
WISDOM IN THE WORD FOR THE FOREIGN
In
2017, there is going to be a need for heavenly wisdom and discernment
more than ever. I saw the Lord opening up areas and paths to God’s
people that are “foreign”. New assignments, mandates, new pathways, new
tasks are going to be handed out to God’s people in this season that are
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to anything you have expected. When you step into
them, the feeling will arise of “I don’t know how to do this”, “I don’t
know how to navigate this” but the Lord is going to give you wisdom and
strategy in exponential increase.
Pay
attention to your dreams in 2017, for the Lord is going to be releasing
incredible prophetic insight on levels that are completely foreign and
new but totally BIBLICALLY based. KNOWING the Word and having BIBLICAL
FOUNDATION will be even MORE IMPORTANT than ever in 2017 with the level
of insight, revelation and encounters the people of God are moving into.
Be clothed with discernment from on high! Don't stop asking for His
wisdom and discernment in ALL things based in and from His Word.
“In
the change, stay in the Word!!!! So much will change in 2017, the
suddenly’s that have been upon this season are not only manifesting but
in 2017 there will be SUDDEN CHANGES released within the area of
SUDDENLY’S from 2016. A SIGNIFICANT changing of GEARS will take place in
areas of breakthrough that happened in 2016, but as they manifest, go
deeper in My Word and you will find the WISDOM to move in and through
these new FOREIGN paths.”
“See,
I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am
making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah
43:19)
DIFFERENT STREAMS WILL FLOW TOGETHER IN 2017
The
work of UNITY amongst the people of God that is going to be seen in
2017 is going to be BREATHTAKING! In 2016 the enemy has been working
hard to bring DIVISION into the body of Christ, but the work of the Holy
Spirit in 2017 to bring His people together is going to cause His
people to be in AWE.
I
had a vision where I saw the Lord visiting leaders of different streams
in the night with dreams and encounters to release specific strategies
and keys to HELP OTHER STREAMS move into their breakthrough and destiny.
I saw leaders all across the world from different streams calling each
other sharing dreams and encounters they had with Jesus for the
breakthrough of the other. Not only were new networks and friendships
formed, but such a deep unity, love and celebration of one another. A
true “joining together” of brothers and sisters in Christ to extend the
Kingdom.
I
saw DIFFERENT STREAMS flowing together in 2017. I saw the most
‘opposite’ of streams that many look at and say “They would never flow
together”, or “we just don’t flow together”, the Lord is going to cause
to flow together in great unity. There is going to be a SIGN and a
WONDER at the work of the Holy Spirit to bring UNITY to the body of
Christ through these seemingly “opposite streams” coming together in the
name of Jesus to see a beautiful move of the Holy Spirit across the
earth. I saw revival and an outpouring flowing from the ‘joining of
these streams’ in ways we have never seen. It will cause the people of
God to BEHOLD - to stand in awe.
“BEHOLD how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” - Psalm 133:1
“This
heavenly harmony can be compared to the dew dripping down from the
skies upon Mount Hermon, refreshing the mountain slopes of Israel. For
from this realm of sweet harmony, God will release His eternal blessing,
the promise of life forever” - Psalm 133:3 (The Passion Translation)
Where
the world would look at the Church and say “this denomination doesn’t
like this one” or “there is such division in the Church, they can’t work
together”, to be broken down significantly and the world begin to see
the Church moving as “one body under and in Jesus Christ”.
The
revelation of the love of Jesus that is going to come from this work of
the Spirit to bring significant unity in 2017 is going to be stunning!
The kindness and goodness of God that is going to flow into the earth
from the brothers and sisters working together in unity, is going to
bring a worldwide shift.
HEART
PROPHETS WILL BE SENT INTO THE MARKETPLACE IN GREATER INFLUX CARRYING
THE HEART OF THE FATHER - A NEW ASSIGNMENT WILL BE UPON MANY OF YOU TO
BRING HEALING TO THE MARKETPLACE
I
saw the Lord commissioning many heart prophets in 2017 to go into the
marketplace with a specific mandate to bring HEALING. I saw these
specific heart prophets moving into the marketplace with the compassion,
love and heart of the Father.
They
were going into boardrooms, meeting with CEO’s, leaders of business,
governmental officials and people who are holding great influence in the
marketplace to bring prophetic words of comfort, strategy, hope and
healing.
As
I watched these heart prophets ministering to these ones in the
marketplace I could hear the heart of the Father so loudly speaking in
longing “I have seen the hurts, the heartache, the disappointments, the
struggles, the broken hearts and pain of many of those who are carrying
worldly influence and favour in cities and nations, and I have come now
to bring you hope, to bring you healing and comfort.”
I
watched in the spirit as these prophets ministered in such accurate
words of knowledge and insight from the heart of the Father, such LOVE
being released through their words as they read the inner heart cries,
struggles and disappointments of these ones of great influence and MANY
of these marketplace leaders meeting Jesus and finding HEALING of years
upon years of disappointment, pain and heartache.
I
then heard the words “As I bring greater healing to those in the places
of great influence in the marketplace, testimonies and healing will
spread throughout the mountains of culture and society like wildfire.
Many will know and burn with my love in the marketplace in 2017!”
