2014... Your Love-Fest Year!

Better late than never (as they say)....

Happy New Year & Welcome 2014!!!

I hope you are very excited about what this new year and new season will bring! There are wonderful things in store for you in the close and coming days. As I've written on my sister biz blog, BeSoulSuccessful.blogspot.com, there have been many good things prophesied and predicted about this New Year. It has been declared as:

• The Year of God's Manifested Goodness!
• The Year of the Greater Glory!
• Your Year of Miracles & the Supernatural!

Any way you look at it, there seems to be an expectation of great things in store for you. Get ready for your dreams and visions to take off into full manifestation and success!

As some of you may have noticed, last year was quite challenging for many, to say the least... Whew!!! And at the year's end, there was a very noticeable increase of tragedies. Also, for many of us, it was a year of pruning and a very busy year of preparation toward our visions and purposes from God. Whatever the season or reason, we made it!!! We've crossed over and have totally shifted into an atmosphere that's charged with the Glory of God. For some, it's your time to shift out of those really tough places and to experience breakthrough!

Today, I ponder on this thought... "We must embrace LOVE!"

I am convinced this will catapult us into the fullness of God's glory that is hovering over our lives right now.

• When Jesus went about gathering a following of disciples, He didn't go out only to find those who were just like Him. They were quite an eclectic group, yet in the end, "through fellowship" they (all but one) deeply loved and desired to be just like Him, ultimately doing the miraculous works He did and spreading the good news of the Gospel.
• Yet, I've been to quite a host of Churches, some where I remained for many years, and others where I didn't stay as long. I've seen and experienced, not everything, but a LOT! I've been where there was a huge flow the God's beautiful Spirit and Love. I've also discerned times of great anointing flowing from pulpits and Believers, yet very little to no Church growth, and not much flow of the miraculous and supernatural in some places. Yet, this post is in no way summing up any conclusions to reasons about Church growth, but simply to place regard upon the droves of people being propelled toward other sources of what they see as loving, instead of Christ's Body. Unfortunately, in some instances however, that power flow was seasoned with a bit of judgment, legalism, condemnation, and sometimes a lack of love.
• Conclusion: What I have found to be powerfully working through some Believers and Churches is a controlling and destructive spirit of Religion, which strongly turns newcomers away. The world is turning in droves toward powerful new age and universal teachings and systems, which are found to be all-accepting and "powerfully loving"!
• How can this be... when the Church and Believers are the "Body" of the most Powerful and Loving of all that exists??? So why is the world not turning in droves toward our most powerful love? How can this be when Jesus Himself was supernatural, drawing multitudes, and desires for you to do greater works than He?
• Where His Love, Glory and Power flows, miracles flow! Therefore, I further conclude that it is of the utmost importance, and as the greatest command left to us by Jesus, that "we must embrace LOVE!"

As a Believer, the very best way to embrace this love is to fall in love with LOVE Himself... through having "fellowship and relationship" with Jesus Christ! I absolutely know that He would simply LOVE THAT! God's Spirit and Love will flow through you, abundantly! And as you come to know and embrace Him, you'll become a powerful carrier of His Love and Glory, and you will be "the love miracle" that He manifests to and for others in the earth.

Secondly, become mindful of your words and actions to align them with this love and with what you are expecting to manifest in your life. You will begin to affect the world in amazing, miraculous ways!

Beloved, be in great expectation in 2014 and watch as your every wish, dream and promise begin to manifest one after another and another and another... a never-ending love-fest year just for you!

Blessings to YOU in Abundance,
