SUBJECT: A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE SAINTS 
FOR THE "IN GOD WE TRUST" HAPPY NEW YEAR 
2017!

1 Peter 2:9-10 "But you are a CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellences of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY."

Good Afternoon Saints!

In the tradition of folks making their "New Year's Resolutions", I wanted to suggest that my Christian Brothers and Sisters in Christ set aside the time to spend for communion and fellowship with Father God in The Secret Place. The world tends to reflect on the areas in their lives where they desire to see improvement in their new year. And as Christians, we can do the same, however, we have a blessed benefit of talking to Father God about what HE desires for us to do in the new year. So with the desires of our hearts (hopes and dreams), and with this sentiment in mind, The Holy Spirit wants to encourage you with the following "Word".

The Holy Spirit says, "ALL Saints of God, take some time in The Secret Place today, because I desire to speak divine instructions to you concerning YOUR role (as a Christian) in 2017. In this "Window of Mercy" for America, Almighty God will display His Glorious Presence and POWER in and through YOU, His beloved Children and People. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 says, "Now there are varieties of GIFTS, but the SAME Spirit. And there are varieties of MINISTRIES, and the SAME Lord. There are varieties of EFFECTS, but the SAME God who works ALL things in ALL persons" (my emphasis). The SAME Spirit, Lord and God the Holy Trinity - the ultimate example of working in UNITY!

"Your Heavenly Father has heard the cries of His People in The Body of Christ (The Church); crying out for the movement of His Holy Spirit to be present (and to "move") in the mist of their congregations throughout America. Already, there has been a great movement of the Spirit of God in other nations throughout the world. What differentiates between the present "revivals" of these nations and The United States of America? The "key" is found in Her National Title: The "UNITED" States of America. Americans have experienced national division many times in her history, but when speaking of "division", Father God is referring to the "strife and division" within His Body- The House(s) of God that have made idols and trophies of their doctrinal differences and "traditions" of man. ("If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand". Mark 3:25) Father God says The Church has "safeguarded and shrouded these things in Pride." This must come to an end and these "accolades, traditions, trophies, victories and triumphs (and even Her failures) MUST be laid to rest. (Acts 4:32 "And the congregation of those who believed were of ONE HEART and SOUL; and not ONE OF THEM claimed that ANYTHING BELONGING TO HIM was HIS OWN, but ALL THINGS were common property to them". (my emphasis).

God says, For I AM DOING A NEW THING IN THIS SEASON-- A SEASON THAT WILL REQUIRE THE UNITY OF MY PEOPLE-- UNITED IN JESUS CHRIST AND TEARING DOWN ALL THAT HAS BEEN USED TO BUILD WALLS OF DIVISION BETWEEN THE BODY OF CHRIST; BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER AND SISTER AGAINST SISTER, ALL IN THE NAME OF "RELIGION". NOW A DIVINE CITADEL CALLED "UNITY OF MY PEOPLE" MUST BE BUILT "IN THE NAME OF A RELATIONSHIP' WITH MY SON JESUS CHRIST. I AM CALLING MY PEOPLE INTO THE UNITY OF MY SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THIS FINAL HOUR.

The Holy Spirit continued placing the following encouraging words in my spirit and I wanted to be obedient in sharing God's Heart with YOU!
In 2017, The Body of Christ, must UNITE, not by "denominational or doctrinal differences"; but UNITED AS "ONE BODY" IN JESUS CHRIST:

* United In His IDENTITY; 
* United in His REDEMPTIVE BLOOD; 
* United in His AUTHORITY; 
* United in His MIGHTY NAME;
* United in His SUPREMACY as King of Kings and Lord of Lords

The Spirit of God says that many of YOU (Saints) are being called into "POSITION" right now (geographically; advancement in employment, and MANY are being "positioned" in a larger area of influence). ALL of these things are a part of "Heaven's Promotion". Those who have been faithful in the little will begin to experience "increase" because YOU have been faithful in ALL that Father God has asked you to do in previous "seasons". Safeguard this promotion with godly integrity, truth and the Gifts of the Spirit.

The Spirit of God also says there is great importance in YOU being in a stance of "READINESS" and being "OBEDIENT" to His leading. This is a time to seek the FACE OF GOD and to hear THE VOICE OF GOD; therefore, He is asking for you to spend time in THE SECRET PLACE; for there will be many voices in 2017, that will attempt to deafen the ears of Father God's People. In THE SECRET PLACE, YOU will hear, with GREAT clarity, "the still small voice", the "Voice of Truth"- The Holy Spirit will lead YOU into fulfilling Father God's plans and purposes for YOUR life in these last days. Those who have EARS to hear-- heed to God's Voice! Those who have EYES to see--prepare to go forth in discernment and articulate what The Holy Spirit shows YOU through dreams and visions in this final hour.

Be of great encouragement SAINTS OF GOD, because Father God is going to demonstrate His GLORY, HONOR and POWER in and through His Children. "HIDDEN and SHELVED SPIRITUAL GIFTS are "Coming Out of Hiding" Saints. This is why there is a dire need for the Body of Christ to UNITE IN JESUS CHRIST. Let us be UNITED as ONE BODY, with ONE VOICE OF TRUTH, AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN OBEDIENCE TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD -- and let no man's flesh be glorified, but ALWAYS GIVE ALL GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISE TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! Selah and Amen!

Again, I say Selah and Amen!

Your Brother in Christ,
