If so, here is why\u2026"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

2024 has been one of the most significant years in modern history for the Body of Christ. It has been a year marked by intense refining, where the Lord has allowed His people to walk through the fire\u2014not to destroy us, but to purify us. Just as a refiner melts gold to remove its impurities, the Lord has used this season to remove what is not of Him, so that we, His bride, can emerge as a <\/a>pure and spotless vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does not mean we are perfect in our own strength, far from it. But by His strength, His mercy, and through a posture of true repentance and humility, we are becoming the Church He has called us to be. As this year comes to a close, the Body of Christ finds itself on its knees, crying out to the Living God like never before. We\u2019ve come to understand in a deep and profound way that without Him, we are nothing. Only through His Spirit, His power, and His grace can we stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are at Gilgal. This is our final stop before stepping into the promised land. Just as the Israelites camped at Gilgal before crossing into their inheritance, we have reached a pivotal moment\u2014a moment that has been one of the most challenging and yet transformational seasons of our lives. If 2024 was the year of breaking, refining, and testing, it was because God was preparing us for what lies ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is coming is not just a new season\u2014it is a golden age for the remnant. While the world continues to spiral into chaos, darkness, and confusion, a separation has taken place. God has called His people to come out from among them, to live holy and consecrated lives, and to be vessels for His glory. Those who have embraced this refining have passed the test, fought their lion and bear, and step into 25 with a greater sense of His glory, a more significant prayer life, and seasoned wisdom from His Holy Spirit. We will never go back to \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d again. We can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we step into this new season, the things that once seemed impressive in the church\u2014the gimmicks, theatrics, and showmanship\u2014mean nothing. The Lord is not interested in performance. He is yearning for a people who hunger and thirst for righteousness, who long for His presence above all else. The artificial will no longer satisfy, and the superficial will no longer stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is raising up a generation of reformers\u2014a people marked by authenticity and realness. These are the ones who will not bow to culture, who will not be swayed by man\u2019s approval, and who will not compromise the truth. They are the ones who have been in the secret place, refining their hearts and aligning with His Word. These reformers will lead the charge in this golden age, ushering in a move of God that is pure, untainted, and centered on Jesus alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear: stepping into this season of glory does not mean the world will suddenly stop going crazy around us. It doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be both significant bad and good events in the days to come. The road ahead will still be bumpy. There will be challenges, uncertainties, and trials. But it does mean this: we have come out from the Babylon system. We are His Body. We are to go out, cast out, and drive out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though we are still physically in this world, we are not of it. We are citizens of heaven, sent on a mission for souls and for the greatest end-time harvest this world has ever seen. This refining season has prepared us to stand firm in our identity as ambassadors of Christ, shining His light in the midst of darkness. We are no longer tethered to the systems of this world but fully aligned with the purposes of the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready, Church. We are about to step into a season of unprecedented glory. The miracles, signs, and wonders we have long prayed for will not just increase\u2014they will multiply. The greatest harvest of souls we have ever seen is at the doorstep. The Spirit of God is about to move in power through His remnant, bringing revival, restoration, and reformation in ways that will shake the nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have found yourself in the secret place at the end of this year\u2014on your knees, broken before Him, and crying out for His presence\u2014then know this: You have finished well. The refining fire you endured was not in vain. You have been prepared, equipped, and strengthened for such a time as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024 has been a year of refinement, but 2025 will be a year of triumph for the people of God. Do not be discouraged by the darkness around you, for the light of Christ in you will shine brighter than ever. The Lord has a plan, and He is faithful to fulfill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step forward, remnant. You are ready. You are chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is about to do something significant in and through you. The harvest is here, and the King is coming. Let us rise and step boldly into the promises He has prepared for us, for His glory and the advancement of His Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n
