2016: THE YEAR OF ACCELERATION

On 3 Jan, Pastor Joel said he sensed in his spirit that God is going to make things happen quicker than you thought this year. He will give you breaks and opportunities that will thrust you years ahead. God knows how to open the windows of heaven and give you a good break. It should have taken years but your situation turned around faster than you thought. Things will happen so fast, all at once that you wouldn't be able to catch up. And your head will swim.

God will do a quick work this year. Yes there are seasons of waiting with patience, passing the test but there are also seasons in which God will do things so fast and so amazingly. He quoted Amos 9:13 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord,"When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed..." Suddenly the things you have been looking out for happened so quickly.

God works with an attitude of faith and expectancy. The time is coming when the harvest will come up so fast, as soon as one sows. Typically the plowman will have to wait 7-8 months for the crop to be mature. But God is speeding up the growth of your seed. It won't be like the usual process, not like the past. Sometimes before you can put the seed in the ground, the harvest will already be there. Sowing and harvesting happens simultaneously. God will accelerate your harvest.

Jesus' first miracle is turning water into wine. Making wine is a lengthy process, typically 3-5 years for the vine to produce good enough grapes for wine. Better quality wine takes even longer, 5-7 years. The best wine need at least 10-20 years to ferment. This was a miracle of acceleration. God can do in an instant what should have taken you 20 years. Right now, God is working behind the scenes. Suddenly it's all going to change. Suddenly you are going to find yourself in places where you couldn't go on your own.

While patience is important, it is also important to believe for quick works and acceleration. God's timetable is not a natural one. He is in the acceleration business too. God speeds things up and takes you to the fullness of your destiny. God will shoot you out and launch you forward. You may feel like you have fallen behind. The more you pull an arrow back, the more pressure and tension, the further the arrow shoots out. God allowed you to be pulled back because He wants to shoot you further. Your destiny is greater than you can imagine. When God shoots you out, He is going to make up for lost time.

So don't get bitter and negative. Know that it is just a matter of time before God will release you and shoot you further. At just the right time, God will launch you to a new level of your destiny. When God is ready to shoot you, when it's your time, He simply propels you into your destiny. Nothing can stop Him. He has already lined up these times of acceleration. You may feel like you are being pulled back by setbacks and disappointments but you need to get ready for times of acceleration. The more accelerant you put on, the faster the fire will burn. Faith is the accelerant. Negative words are like putting water on the fire. Thank God for accelerating your dreams. Keep thanking God and being expectant. This is the year God is speeding things up. The year of acceleration.
