TIME TO SOAR:
=================
2004 is a year to soar as the eagle, spreading your wings to rise, fly, glide in the air, to climb swiftly and powerfully, to sail into the higher places to come to the mountain of God. As the eagle, we will have keener eyesight to see and know what God is doing now and what He plans to do. We will also have keener eyesight to see what the enemy is up to now and what his diabolical plans are.

We will have the sharp discernment of the eagle to discern demonic activity in our midst and around us. Not only that but we will be sharper to discern the movements of the Holy Spirit in our midst and around us. We will come to have the renewed strength of the eagle that has gone through its time of preparation to better withstand the coming battles.

Just as there is greater demonic activity being released, God is releasing more angelic hosts. Many people in the body of Christ, even secular people will receive angelic visitations from God this year.

2004 is a year to soar as the eagle into the heavenly realms of glory, becoming more heavenly minded than earthly minded (Col.3:1-3)

Scripture--(AB), “If then you have been raised with Christ (to new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead), aim at and seek the (rich eternal treasures) that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God (Ps.110:1).
2-And set your minds [denotes decision-choice] and keep them set [self-control. discipline] on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
3-For (as far as the world is concerned) you have died, and your (new, real) life is hidden (God is able to keep that which we committ to Him) with Christ in God.”

This is so that we will be able to rise above circumstances that would tend to weigh and tie us down as they have in the past.

This is a year for the saints of God to make a shift to become heaven bound instead of remaining earth bound so they can move more freely into their purpose and destiny.

2004 is a year for the body of Christ to come into a new revelation of freedom in Christ. It will cause many to be set free from things of the past that have held them captive.

======================
WHAT’S SHAKING?
======================
This year, the Church is going to go through even more of a shaking up, a shaking down, and a shaking around in preparation for the coming of a greater out-pouring of the Anointing. It’s heightened preparation for the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ who‘s coming back for a spotless bride.

This year, 2004 will see a shaking in the secular world of entertainment among some prominent stars. Their conversions to Jesus Christ will cause many followers to repent and turn to God also. As there was a song of the past that said, “I’m all shook up,” many people will be using this term in 2004 to express the personal shaking and even in the corporate shaking of the Church that God is already in the process of doing.

The prophetic ministry is going to go through a shake down, as it were. It’s going to go through a refining and a re-defining this year so that the Word of the Lord can come forth out of clean vessels and be a pure word from the throne of God. God wants His people to have His word without all the mixture that has come forth in the past. (God has His true prophets who speak now and those He’s getting ready to release who will speak the word of the Lord, nothing more, nothing less).

==================================
ACCELERATION IN THE KINGDOM:
==================================
There is an acceleration that's going to take place in 2004 for the Body of Christ. Many people with prophetic callings on their lives are going to find themselves surprised by God Himself in a variety of ways. Those who have calls of ministry are going to be thrust forward without excuse into their purpose and destiny in 2004.

The Lord says, that many of these people are those who have been lingering back and hanging back behind everyone else in places of comfort. They have hesitated to step forward in faith and boldness to fulfill what they know they‘ve been called to. God says, “Get ready, this is your year to step forth and get out of the boat.”

There is an acceleration in preparation for those called to ministry because in this day, God is doing an even quicker work. There is no limit of age in what God is doing but this acceleration will happen especially in the younger generation who will come forth in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way of the Lord (Mal.4:5-6).

There is also coming an acceleration in marketplace ministry for all the members of the body of Christ who are involved in business. The equipping of the saints for marketplace ministry to advance the Kingdom of God out on the streets is going to see an acceleration this year. Because of it, 2004 is going to be a year of productivity, in that, there will be seen and heard of more demonstrations of the power and glory of the Kingdom of God in the lives of people.

We will see revivals break out in places that we would not ordinarily think of. We will see the greatest number of souls won into the Kingdom of God this year of 2004 that any year to date.

There will also be a push, an acceleration in urging and teaching the body of Christ to make a mental switch and take on the Kingdom mentality. We have crossed a threshold in the spiritual realm which says, doors of opportunity are now open for the gospel of the Kingdom that were in times past, closed. We must make the most of these new opportunities God is giving to the body of Christ to advance the Kingdom of God and win the lost to Jesus.

The Church is being called of God to come up to new levels of faith, glory and holiness. We’re being instructed to begin thinking Kingdom of God, speaking Kingdom of God and demonstrating the Kingdom of God wherever we go. It’s vital that we make this mental shift in order to come up higher with God and do the work in the earth we‘re called to do. To become more heavenly minded than earthly minded and receive the hidden manna that God has promised for these days.

===========================
REVELATION AND WISDOM:
===========================
This year of 2004 will see more divine revelation given to those who will sacrifice themselves to come into the secret chambers with God---the holy of holies. God wants to reveal Kingdom mysteries and strategies so the Church can make significant advancement in the world and in the marketplace. Each successful advancement made for the Kingdom of God is another defeat for satan and ground taken back from the kingdom of darkness.

God is once again calling His people to get out of debt and be debt free where we “owe no man anything except to love him”(Romans 13:8). Many people desire to get out of debt but don’t know how. God is going to give you supernatural wisdom that is practical in its workings to show you how to order your household and get on a budget.

He’s going to show you and teach you how to get on heaven’s economy and conduct your affairs according to God’s financial system instead of the worlds system. So, be looking and expecting to receive revelation and wisdom this year to show you how to become debt free God‘s way. He says, “You’ve tried it your way, now do it My way.”

=========================
MAKING A DISTINCTION:
=========================
2004 is a critical year for the Church, in that, God is requiring a distinction to be made clear between the body of Christ, who is light and the world, who is darkness. God is calling His people to be the light of the world in the earth, to make the distinction.

One of the ways Light is seen is through exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit. Also by being obedient to walk in the truth that God reveals to each of us by His Spirit.

God is requiring more than ever at this time in Church history that the Church calls evil, evil and good, good. God is requiring us to cease making excuses for sin and hate what He hates and love what He loves. Therein, is the distinction between light and darkness in the world. Between good and evil. Between truth and lies.

==========================
INTENSIFIED WARFARE:
==========================
2004 will see more disastrous happenings in different parts of the globe. As the Lord pointed out, things will get worse before they get better by the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

More earthquakes will be going higher on the Richter scale.

We will hear of more meteor fallout.

We will see more signs and wonders this year so watch the heavenlies because God is doing some miraculous things. He is speaking through signs and wonders in the heavenlies to show forth His power and His glory to a disbelieving world that they might come to believe.

2004 is a serious year of intensified warfare. But it’s also a year for greater victories as the Army of the Lord take down more enemy strongholds in the spirit. Evidence of this taking place will be seen in the natural through world conflict.

Watch this year to see a more precise alignment of the key nations mentioned in Daniel and Revelation that are a part of the climatic end of the age.

Those pieces on God’s Chessboard are moving more into place for the final battle. Satan’s pieces are moving also and for a time he will say to God, “Check,” but praise God, that's not the end of the story.

Revelation chapter 19 reveals Jesus, the mighty Warrior astride a gleaming white horse who has the final word in the matter. He will respond with the voice of many waters and declare, “Checkmate!” Satan’s evil kingdom will be destroyed by the brightness of the glory of Jesus’ coming and he will be bound and thrown into the pit for 1,000 years. God always has the final authoritive word, so saints of God, have hope and be encouraged because you’re on the winning side.

====================
PRAYER FORCES:
====================
In the past few years, we’ve seen Prayer House’s spring up all over the country but this year of 2004, we will see even more spring up. For those who believe the prayer movement is subsiding and praise and worship is going to take its place, this is not true. God is raising up what He calls, “Prophetic Prayer Forces” for these days and the coming days ahead. (The Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force Matt.11:12). We will see these begin to emerge in greater proportion this year.

As God raises up these Prophetic Prayer Forces, there will also be an increase in praise and worship right along with it. This is because spiritual warfare is intensifying and we can’t rely on any one thing, we need every weapon God has given us working together.

We can’t go forth and expect greater victories this year with the same anointing we had in 2003. We must have a fresh anointing and new strategies this year if we expect to have victory over the enemy in 2004.

These Prophetic Prayer Forces will emerge and come together in militant style for fasting, praise/worship, prophetic intercession and warfare, making declarations, proclamations and speaking forth God inspired decree‘s into the earthly realm (Job 22:28).

====================
THE MIRACULOUS:
====================
2004 will also be a year when we will see hear and experience more of the miraculous. That is, more demonstrations of signs, wonders and miracles are going to take place, not only to us but through us for others. God not only is pouring out blessings, but He also has miracles on His mind.

A new anointing is being released to the body of Christ and not just to 5-fold but to each member so God can use every part of His body to become miracle workers, ministering the gifts of the Spirit. We are moving more into the time of the “Saints” who have been equipped for the work of the ministry (Eph.4:11-13).

===============================
GIVING FOR BREAK-THROUGH:
===============================
God’s people are being called to supercede 2003 in our giving and to increase our sowing seed into the Kingdom even more in 2004. As God says, the farmer prepares for good times as well as for lean times.

Blessings are tied to our obedience to give cheerfully when prompted by the Holy Spirit. There is going to more of an emphasis on fasting and prayer connected to our giving in order for us to see break-through’s happen more in 2004.
