2014 A Year of Celebration & Fruitfulness



2014 is the year of Celebration, Fruitfulness and Finding your Tribe...

Towards the end of 2013 I was having a series of powerful dreams about the harvest and about being fruitful.  In one dream I was shown an abundant harvest that was being released now.

Leviticus 26: 4 '...the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field yield their fruit'....  It is seeds that you have sown,  even if you don't remember sowing or even seeds that you thought you lost ---these are coming back in a great harvest. There is also going to be a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God during 2014.

That dream was followed by another where I saw a crowd of people that were 'carrying something in their belly' .  I understood that they were carrying that which needs to be released in this season. I heard, "it's time for fruitfulness". Romans 8:19  'For creation waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known'.  The interpretation of the dream is that God is calling forth those people to be fruitful.  We are carrying something that needs to be released in 2014.  Its time for believers to be released out of captivity.

Again, this morning in my prayer time I felt that it is in areas where we have struggled and been attacked that we have our greatest authority to release others -- we are carrying the answers other people are crying for.  The groanings we have made in our oppression and captivity, whatever it may be, will produce in us great authority in our deliverance.  The groaning of Israel in captivity led to their greatest victory and authority.   I felt to encourage you that in any area where you have struggled will come your greatest authority.  God has amazing plans for you and I know this -  that what the enemy intended for evil God will turn around for good and whatever your destiny He will use this so that you will be able to pray for others suffering the same attacks and see deliverance and fruit!  Don't focus on the issue but focus on the great victory that is yours because of the blood of Jesus. Last week I saw keys released in the spirit for believers that will unlock doors where there have been battles. Keys unlock doors and these doors are the revelations that bring forth release.  So I pray a key in your hand that unlocks this door.  Then take this key that you are carrying and release others.

In another powerful dream I was shown the 'birthing of a calf' in great detail.  I was led to the blessing of Deuteronomy 28 which talks about every area of your life being blessed and fruitful...vs 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock!   I love the fact that God is showing us that we have entered into a gate of 2014 which is 'blessing'.  In 2014 our fruitfulness and blessing will be increasing.  God has spoken to us as a family that 2014 is the release of financial prosperity in the Kingdom.

Deuteronomy 28: 1 -  14
28
If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.
3
Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field.
4
Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock.
5
Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough.
6
Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7
The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8
The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9
The Lord will establish you as a people holy to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
10
And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name [and in the presence of] the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
11
And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12
The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13
And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.
14
And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.


Finding your Tribe - God has been clearly showing us that our journey is not one to be taken alone. God doesn't want us to be isolated but to be in community with those that have a similar vision and calling and with those that God has connected you with. Finding your tribe means connecting with those that share the same spiritual DNA and are broadly going in the same direction.  This is  your Tribe and God will lead you to them.  This can be different from the church that you are committed to.  It means people who are the key influences that God is connecting us to that speak into our lives.  They can be scattered around the world as God opens doors to make the divine connection.  In 2014 pray into the relationships and call forth the purposes that God has for you.

Finally, like the passover, victory results in a great celebration of all that God has done. Proverbs 28:12  When the righteous triumph, there is great glory and celebration!
