THE YEAR OF ACCELERATION AND ABUNDANCE

During the thanksgiving service last Sunday, Pastor Prince mentioned that God has already given him the theme for next year. He was quite excited about it and couldn't wait to share with us during this coming Sunday, called the Vision Sunday. I have no idea what it could be but for me, this was what the Lord revealed for next year. 2016 would be a year of acceleration and abundance. I have received certain themes from the Lord in previous years but I have not been bold enough to post them in my blog.

But since 2011, after I stayed home, I realised that whatever themes the Lord told me was declared as our church theme either in the next year or within two years' time. That was when I realised that the Lord wanted to share with me things in advance so that I could declare them and see them come to pass. Recently I felt prompted to even post it on my blog so that others could be encouraged by this prophetic word.

I was impressed on this theme since Oct but I wasn't sure until I read the prophetic words of other well-respected prophets recently. I began to get excited when I saw that what they received from the Lord confirmed what I saw too. I found that the sharing by this writer Lana Vawser to be very much in line with what I was impressed upon. She said the Lord showed her that 2016 is the year of the divine upstream. This is a highlight of what she wrote.

I believe in 2016 there is an invitation into a divine ‘slipstream’.  The wind of the Spirit moving in great acceleration but the Lord calling us to a ‘positioning’ of greater rest.  It seems completely opposite and ‘illogical’ in the natural, but many things the Lord is going to ask His people to do or not do in 2016 will be a great surprise, but MORE is going to come out of divine rest in whatever form that looks like for you in 2016.

I felt the Lord say that 2016 would be a year THE GREATEST demonstration of DIVINE REST of heart, mind, soul and body for many, but also THE GREATEST demonstration of ACCELERATION that they have ever seen. A place of shaking off the shackles of driving and seeing Him break off and bring deeper healing to any parts of the soul that would cause a ‘pushing forward’.

This invitation will require a greater trust in the Lord and His timing and ways. These “slipstreams” are going to go in different directions in some ways to how many have anticipated He is going to move and ‘when’, but as the people of God allow the wind of the Spirit to carry them in this slipstream, there is going to be greater ground taken, greater manifestations of His power and Spirit, greater fruit for less effort.

This “divine slipstream” is going to see many get a “rest” from the hard “toiling” of 2015, where things will begin to “FLOW” in 2016, as the MANIFESTED  winds of grace land in lives in greater ways. Abundance, provision, and manifested blessing are going to breakthrough in 2016 in exponential ways.

In this slipstream, great acceleration will come into the lives of God’s people, but it’s coming from a deeper rest in the Lord’s timing and ways.  There are divine surprises that are going to come in the slipstream, there are dreams that will be awakened in the slipstream, there will be giftings that will be activated in the slipstream, there will be new horizons to see and mantles to receive.

Because of the acceleration and harvest season we have entered into and are entering deeper into, there will be a temptation in 2016 to move out of the slipstream and begin to run ahead.  I felt the Lord specifically encouraging His people in 2016 to “stay in pace” with Him, and be intentional in seeking the Lord on doors and opportunities that are placed before you. 

For not all doors and opportunities will be a “YES” but the doors that He is leading His people to and through (Isaiah 22:22) are going to produce greater fruit, greater territory taken, greater favour displayed and greater harvest received with less effort and huge demonstrations of His grace.

In the acceleration of 2016, the enemy is going to attempt to get the people of God “busy”, but “busy” doing things that the Lord isn’t breathing on.  They are “good things” but not necessarily the things God is breathing on.  Where as the people of God move through the divine doors HE is breathing on, they will get busy doing greater levels of the Father’s work as Jesus did in Luke 2:49, and with great ease and joy.

I saw mighty rushing winds coming into the body of Christ in 2016.  His winds that are going to begin to bring the people of God “UP and OUT” of places where they have felt stuck, weighed down and no forward motion.  Areas where the enemy has hit the people of God so hard and troubles and trials have surrounded the Lord is going to bring greater deliverance and moving into the divine slipstream of rested flow.

Where many have felt like they are facing onslaught after onslaught, hit after hit, trial after trial, and never seeming to get “their head above water” are going to see radical demonstrations of deliverance, divine ‘payback’, restoration and retribution.  The Lord began to release this in the latter half of 2015, but they are about to go to an accelerated level in 2016. “Get your baskets ready, it’s harvest time.  Not only will I restore to you tenfold what the enemy has stolen, broken and destroyed, I will add to you with greater increase, acceleration, and ABUNDANT restitution.”
