From the Time of the Decree...

This past Sunday Robert Heidler, from Glory of Zion, taught from the book of Daniel exhorting believers to learn from the prophet’s example of how to open the door to revelation so that change can come to a nation.  It was a powerful teaching. There was much to meditate on and pray back to the Father for revelation. It is a sure word from the Spirit for believers. As I listened to the teaching, Holy Spirit impressed upon me a phrase from the foundation scripture of the Robert’s teaching- Daniel 9:25.

“So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.” NASB

“Know and understand this: from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince will be seven weeks and 62 weeks. It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat, but in difficult times.” HCSB

From the issuing of the decree…from the time of the decree just kept resonating in my heart.

Decree: a formal and authoritative order, especially one having the force of law; a judicial decision or order
(http://www.dictionary.com/browse/decree?s=t)

It is interesting to note that Chuck Pierce has issued a prayer focus on decreeing over our land and boundaries for the first 10 days of March. Not a coincidence. There are no coincidences in the Spirit. However, what the Lord was impressing upon me as I listened to the teaching was the importance of the decree, the release of the decree and the revelation of what happens when the decree is made.

We are part of a Kingdom that is established by the word that is proceeding from the mouth of the Father.  His word and His decree is what established all that exists in the seen and the unseen. Even evil does not exist unless He allows it. The enemy is still here because God has appointed a time for his destruction.  The decree of a King establishes what is and what shall be.  It not only affects the present but also the future.  There are many examples in scripture, but it is interesting that Holy Spirit is instructing us in this at this specific season, namely Purim.  Purim is a Jewish celebration of the reversal of the enemy’s decree against the people of God. Purim is celebrated in the month of Adar;  this month is all about celebrating the joy of deliverance by the hand of God and the annihilation of your enemy! There are seasons in life when deliverance seems like an impossibility, like that of the Jews and Esther, but Purim reminds us that with God nothing is impossible.  The deliverance of the Hebrew people came by the reversal of a decree.  In a kairos moment in time, Esther was able to approach the King and receive a decree that superseded the decree of the enemy of the Jews, Haman.

From the issuing of the decree…

Everything changed from the issuing of the decree of Esther’s husband, the King. What the enemy, Haman, thought he had accomplished was reversed, overturned and then made right because of the decree. Deliverance came because of the issuing of the decree!

Know and understand…

From the issuing of the decree….

A kingdom operates from the issuing of the word of a king. Our Lord, the Christ, is King of kings and Lord of lords.  He has made US kings and priest to His God and Father. (Rev. 1:6) We can operate in this realm of delegated authority and issue God’s decree that reverses the curse of the enemy!

Now the question is…what are you decreeing in this set time? Scripture states there is a set time for judgment to be released in our favor. (Dan. 7:22) There is a set time for the issuing of the God’s decree…a set time to agree with God! A set time to release the word of the Lord! NOW faith is!

Know and understand…

Decree: a formal and authoritative order, especially one having the force of law; a judicial decision or order; one of the eternal purposes of God, by which events are foreordained. To command, ordain, or decide by decree.
(http://www.dictionary.com/browse/decree?s=t)

From the issuing of the decree…

Kings and priest of God Most High let's exercise our legal authority in the kingdom and agree with God of All creation and issue His decree. Proclaim His Word, the logos and the rhema, that will bring a reversal of what the enemy has attempted to bring about in our life.

The set time is NOW!

P.S. Here is an example of a decree I wrote and prayed for day three of the 10 day prayer focus with Glory of Zion.

Day Three: Ezra 9, Psalm 81: I decree revival in my family and over my inheritance in Jesus name. Father let your Spirit be poured out upon all flesh in my family.  Thank you for restoration and for change, for the suddenly and for an open heaven over my life, my family, my inheritance and my ministry.  Thank you Father that the spirit of revival will flow from generation to generation in Jesus name.  The River is flowing and bursting its banks. As I open my mouth wide Father you have promised to fill it. As I speak as the oracle of God, Holy Spirit you confirm the word with signs and wonders following.  I thank you Jesus for all that you are doing and all that you will do not only today but tomorrow and in the days to come. Thank you for the newness, the new thing springing forth in my family in Jesus name. Thank you Father for giving us a measure of revival even in the midst of our bondage, but I ask you for the abundance of rain upon your people your remnant oh God. May your people experience the fullness of your Spirit and the supernatural workings of your Kingdom in Jesus name.

A Host of Hidden Figures

This past Christmas, Twentieth Century Fox, released a powerful story that revealed the genius of a “hidden” group of African American women and their impact on NASA and U.S.  aeronautical program.  This movie is based on the book/brain child of author/entrepreneur Margot Lee Shetterly.  Ms. Shetterly did the hard work of researching this important story of African American History.  The reviews have been remarkable! This story depicts the power of intelligent women willing to be passionate about who they are regardless of the societal norms that constrict freedom.  There are far too many meaningful themes within the film to attempt to  expound them here.  There isn’t enough time, and I probably wouldn’t do it justice. But who knew that this story was out there…a host of hidden figures (voices) that had changed the course of American History.

I watched the movie and have been encouraging others to see it because it is such an uplifting film. Any good film, if it’s worth its salt, will provoke thoughts and reflection.  This film made me think of how so many people do remarkable things, yet go unnoticed living in obscurity.  Recently, our political scene has caused another group of women to come out from behind the scenes.  Without focusing on the political issues, the fact remains, passionate women came out so that their voices could be heard. It made me think of a host of hidden figures coming out from behind the scenes.

Shortly after watching Hidden Figures, I watched another film about another woman, Dinah, a daughter of the Hebrew patriarch Jacob distinguished by name in the biblical text.  The film is called The Red Tent and it is based on a book by Anita Diamant.  It chronicles the story of Dinah-in her own words.  It follows the biblical account, but emphasizes it as told in the voice of Dinah.  Imagine that?  What I thought was so amazing was the fact that I had never thought about what her thoughts may have been through those chapters of Genesis.  The fact remains, she had some!  Here again, the phrase ‘hidden figure’ came to mind.  Dinah experienced a life that could be considered a modern-day soap opera, yet most of us have little to no interest in how she was processing the events of her life.   Unfortunately, this is the fate of far too many intelligent, beautiful, daughters of God-living lives as hidden figures with voices that are silenced by a society entrenched in its own prejudices.

God is always speaking. Unfortunately, all too often we limit the ways in which He can speak. He can speak to anyone in any way that He chooses because He is God. The real issue is whether we are listening.  Are we seeking to perceive what He is saying without our own preconceived ideas altering the reception?  I don’t think so. I find it challenging to move my own pressing thoughts out of the way to hear Him clearly.  (It is a discipline of willful intent.)  Not because His voice is undiscernible but because of the discipline necessary to shut down the other voices competing with His preeminence. Yet, this is what He has called every child of God to do, to be in such communion with Him that the thought at the forefront of all we do is based on what He is saying to us.  This blog is most often about just that…listening to hear what He is saying and simply sharing what is heard.

Recent events keep confirming to me that the Lord is mobilizing His people in a new way.  He is bringing forth what was ordained from the beginning of time and it won’t look like what we think.  At the center of this mobilization, He is calling forth a host of hidden figures.  Yes, I am borrowing the title of this important movie because I heard the LORD speaking through it. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit saying that there are hidden figures that are being positioned to change the course of history- His Story.  It is about His Kingdom being manifested in the earth. A huge portion of this host are daughters of God.

Last year I had a dream in May after Mother’s Day that was a corporate word for women.

This morning I saw two pictures of maybe visions because of there was movement. The first picture was of a group of women on a theatre moving like a marching band.  The group was dressed in suits of crimson. (The blood of Jesus Christ). The styles of the suits looked different but as the women moved into different formations the suits looked the same.  I could not hear anything but from the picture I perceived that they were hearing a sound of a cadence that mad them move into formation.  The next picture was of the same group but then the scene had changed.  I am not sure how to describe it.  It was not a theatre.  I was an open space but the group looked like they were superimposed over it in different places.  The clothes had changed to ordinary clothes and the movement was of praise.  Again, I didn’t hear anything so I am perceiving it as praise based on how the women were moving.  Some were dancing, some clapping, some stomping, jumping. Each was doing something different but there was still a rhythm and a synchrony.

This is the interpretation I received.

Many women have experienced many transitions.  This has been the Spirit of the Lord brining us into a proper formation for what He has for each of us to accomplish for the Kingdom.  We are not all the same.  We have different expressions but as the Spirit moves us we are moving in synchronicity with Him and the differences are not apparent.  We are hearing sounds that are apparent by our obedience to move as directed by the Spirit.  There is a sound of the Spirit, a sound of praise that the Spirit is bringing forth in the body of Christ that is not only a weapon but also a sound that is causing formation and unity to those hearing it and that are willing to move into greater freedom in praise in worship.


I believe the vision that I had speaks to the mobilizing of hidden figures.  Everyday daughters of God that love a King named Jesus Christ and are willing to simply obey the voice of their
Father. In the movie, those women for the most part, stayed in obscurity.  It is only now that we are learning of the tremendous impact their lives played in American History among some of the most honored events of the twentieth century.  I propose that the same will be true of some hidden figures in the Kingdom of God.  There is a host of hidden figures that have discovered who they are and whose they are.  Hidden figures that have a voice and a weapon in the Spirit.  This discovery has compelled them to no longer be silent, not a voice clamoring in the streets, but a herald heard in the spirit and the Kingdom- preparing the way for the coming of the King.  This host is empowered by its Creator and His Spirit and it will be a force to be “reckoned” with (to count, to compute, to calculate, to esteem, to depend on or rely on as in expectation).  While most may remain in obscurity here in this earthly realm, they will be known in His Kingdom and in the ages to come.

Girls get your swords!

The Real Daniel Fast

Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what a “Christian” colloquialism really means.  All too often words are meted down to the least common denominator usually to the reader’s disadvantage.  Christianize, “church lingo”, has become a mainstay in religious culture.  Secular culture has taken language and made it a quick study of crude consonants minus the vowels, while creatively disabling our youth in formal expression.  Words are powerful and they mean something; usually more than just one thing, too. Christian culture has also found itself amidst the crowd by dumbing down scripture into whatever we want it to mean.  

I was going about my day on autopilot, when I heard Holy Spirit say…the real Daniel fast.  The phrase “Daniel fast” is familiar to most believers, but I had a hunch that the adjective “real” was speaking of much more than food restrictions of vegetables and water.  The phrase has become a colloquialism in Christian culture.  It is an example of one of those things that has been oversimplified, meted down to a health fad in error of the true significance and character of the actions of a prophet of God. 

Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar captured Daniel when he was just a teenager.  Daniel served four kings while in captivity, yet he still fulfilled his call and purpose in his generation. This simple example should exhort us to note that God’s purpose is not thwarted by the actions of man and political systems. God actually used Daniel and his companions, Shadrach Meshach and Abednego several times to reveal His sovereignty to those who were ruling.  God alone rules in heaven and earth; even during election seasons.   

Daniel 2:21 

And He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

So as I pondered what the Lord wanted me to discover about this phrase, “the real Daniel fast”, I started to reread the book of Daniel.  It is well known as a book with prophetic ramifications for our time and season, but I really wasn’t reading it from that perspective.  I read just to glean from it what I felt the Lord wanted to impress upon my spirit.  I do believe it is important for this time but for totally different reasons. 

Here is what really stood out to me as I read this important book:

1. Daniel prayed often…which most of us know….3 times a day.

2. Daniel lived a holy life…he would not defile himself by eating from the king’s table.

3. Daniel was blessed with wisdom and understanding.

4. Daniel had dreams and visions.

5. Daniel recorded his visions.

6. Daniel was highly respected by the kings he served. He was Jewish royalty. 

7. Daniel had favor with his superiors.

Long story short, Daniel was promoted to the highest ranks of the Babylonian empire, while in captivity.  He continued to serve God, unashamed and without restraint regardless of the adverse circumstances.  He was willing to suffer persecution even death rather than denounce the power and sovereignty of the Most High.  His resolve resulted in the kings of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, Beltshazzar, and Darius, experiencing the power of God, Most High.  Their testimony became one that gave honor and praise to Daniel’s god.  The Most High did not allow those that he allowed to come into power to bring harm or shame to his children.  

So the question remains, what is the “real Daniel fast”? 

Isaiah 58 may help us to see what the Father means when he calls us to fast and pray…

Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry and He will say, ‘Here I am’.

This is the real deal.  

Father forgive us for making your holy word common and not holding it in its proper esteem. Forgive us for walking in presumption and not walking in fear and trembling.  Forgive us for pride and arrogance.  Help us to know your heart, to understand what you are requiring of us as sons and daughters.  Help us to do the thing that pleases you…in Jesus name.

A real Daniel fast will include the characteristics of the prophet of God who changed the world in which he lived by his obedience at all cost.  It will require the admonition found in Isaiah…to loose bonds of wickedness to break every yoke.  That sounds a lot like the spiritual warfare that Daniel experienced as he set himself to pray and repent on behalf of his people. 

I heard this before the election and I believe that the Lord still means what He says.  He has called us as sons and daughters to be agents of change that impacts our community and society.  This purpose is fulfilled primarily when we take our call to prayer seriously.  Many months ago, when I blogged about being election ready, I sensed that the Lord was performing an election of His own.  The Father is doing a work of separation in the work of His people. It is a work of holiness. Holiness is not about perfection, only God is perfect (those are Jesus’ words, not mine); holiness is about being separated to God, like Daniel even in the midst of a culture that was adverse to his beliefs.  He impacted his culture because he was separated unto His God first through His life of prayer. Everything else stemmed from that.  

In that blog, “Are You Election Ready”…the message was about our identity as kings and priests in the Kingdom of God.  I believe that it is more than necessary for us as believers to embrace our identity as sons of God; it is imperative.  Our obedience will impact our future and so will our disobedience.  As we move into the New Year and Christian fellowships encourage the spiritual discipline of fasting, I pray that the Holy Spirit will speak to every heart to not only put the flesh under but also exemplify the actions expressed in Isaiah 58.  This word that I am sharing is to me first.  I know that more than once I have fasted with the promise of ten pounds lost rather than the deliverance of a loved one.  Just telling the truth.  The Lord is calling me to a more separated life, a fasted life where I am compelled to pray for the person at Walmart and be the witness he has called me to be in this earth.  This is the fast that He is calling me to.  I am sharing this because maybe He is calling more of his children to the fast of the prophet of God.  

1. Pray often…remember pray without ceasing.

2. Be separated to God…submit to God resist the devil

3. Receive the wisdom and understanding from above…wisdom that is first peaceable.

4. Expect divine direction through dreams and visions…the Spirit being poured out on all flesh.

5. Record the word of the Lord to you…tremble at His word, He is God of the Universe.

6. Live as a citizen of the Kingdom: Royalty…king and priest.

7. Allow God’s favor to lead you exactly where He needs you to be… All things work together for our good. 

Living this fasted life will produce the results. God is not mocked: sow to the spirit reap in the spirit.   Daniel’s fast is the one of the best examples of the Isaiah 58 fast; the type that God desires from his children.  The fast that will cause Light to break forth and Glory to be a rear guard! We call out to Him and He answers…Here I am. Selah.

REPOST:Kelbey Chronicles: Are You Election Ready?

I felt compelled to repost this original post from December of 2015.  I pray that Holy Spirit will bear witness with your spirit the signs of the times. I pray the Lord Jesus Christ would reveal and manifest his plan and purpose for your life. I pray that the Father would continue to reveal by His Spirit the things that are freely given to us by His Spirit in  Jesus Name.  It is a time for each of us to press into our Kingdom purpose and to  deepen our relationship with Jesus and Holy Spirit. Grace and peace.

 Are You Election Ready?


POSTSCRIPT: After a recent discussion on Facebook regarding this repost I want to emphasize that I am not advocating for citizens of the U.S. not to exercise their right of enfranchisement. I am advocating for citizens of the Kingdom of God to exercise our rights as kings and priest.

Resurrection Power

I have not written a post in some time. I really haven't even looked at the blog for a while. I haven't been too busy and I can't say that the Father hasn't been speaking, because He has.  I don't know... I just haven't necessarily felt like I wanted to post anything until yesterday.  I am still processing this...which seems like something I say often but it is simply the truth. I prefer to share it when it is fresh, before I start to over analyze what I am hearing. One thing I find interesting is that my last post had to do with the Resurrection.

So I was spending some time in worship yesterday, singing this song I heard this week that I just enjoy-Skeleton Bones by John Mark McMillan. It is an unusual song with unusual lyrics. But this is the same brother in the Lord who gave us Oh How He Loves Us...so we all know how many worshippers have enjoyed that song.  Song seems like the wrong word maybe psalm is more appropriate. Anyway. This song is about the resurrection power of God in Christ Jesus. I was probably listening to it the last time I posted. LOL.  I want to post a link to the lyrics because without it what I have to say won't really make sense. (I thought about putting all the lyrics myself, but then the post would be too long.  I am wordy enough already!)

Skeleton Bones by John Mark McMillan

And here is the video with the lyrics if that is your preference.

Skeleton Bones by John Mark McMillan Youtube video

So here is a song talking about bones that have to stand and recognize the glory of the risen Christ.  The resurrection power of God that raised up Christ and opened up tombs in Jerusalem still affects everything in creation.  Why am I saying this? This is what came to me as I was worshipping the Lord. Remember...I am still processing...

The Lord told Mary and Martha at Lazarus' tomb...I AM the Resurrection and the Life. (John 11). This was a difficult time for his friends and if you remember the biblical account, Jesus purposely delayed his arrival once he heard the news that Lazarus was sick. I looked at the verse in several translations...the Aramaic Bible in Plain English reads:

Yeshua, said to her, "I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Resurrection and The Life, whoever trusts in me even if he dies, he shall live." WOW...

Then I was thinking Lord, this is really deep. Then I had the thought wait a minute this is before Jesus even dies.  He declares that He is the Resurrection long before He paid the price for our salvation.  He declares His deity and identity as the Son of God...the God-man with resurrection power before He is resurrected by God after his crucifixion.  Is there anyone besides me who had never thought about this?

Is this why the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:10 , "that I might know Him and the power of His resurrection?" 

I have been listening to a minister, Katie Souza of Expected End Ministries, and she has a revelation about the resurrection power of Christ that I have not really heard preached before.  Generally speaking, she teaches about the healing of the soul.  Some believers don't acknowledge the need for healing in the soul and I am not going to debate it here. I encourage you to read Isaiah 53 and look into some of her teachings. They are powerful and controversial! Needless to say, her teachings have impacted me and piqued something in me about the resurrection power of Christ.  If the Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament by revelation of the Spirit since He didn't actually walk with Jesus, says He prays that HE MIGHT KNOW HIM and the POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION - what does that say about the revelation that has yet to be understood? I am not here to teach her revelation about the resurrection...look into it...please! I just want to share what I was pondering while listening to this powerful song.

Jesus said He is the Resurrection and the Life long before He was raised from the dead. So when we read in Scripture that he descended, held captivity captive, made a open show of principalities and powers, disarming them and then was raised up by the power of God with ALL POWER and seated at the right hand of the majesty on HIGH....what actually happened in the spirit realm and in the natural if tombs were opened in Jerusalem? Selah.

I wish I could say that this is the first time I heard this question but it isn't.  I heard a deliverance teaching on iniquities by Anna Mendez and she posed the question.  What do we as believers, BELIEVE, actually took place when Jesus Christ died, went to hell and then was resurrected with ALL POWER? Could all this have happened and nothing actually change the entire cosmos? If the entire sky blackened when Jesus gave up his spirit and the veil at the temple was torn...what happened in the cosmos? What is the revelation of the power of His resurrection that Paul is talking about?

Back to the song lyrics...peel back our ribs again and stand inside of our chest.  Wow! This is the kind of stuff that made disciples walk away from Jesus. Remember when Jesus said if you don't "eat of my flesh" and "drink of my blood"..you have no life in you.  In the scriptures it says this saying was too hard...Jesus had went too far...and folks walked away because it had gotten to deep...too mystical. What was Jesus talking about? He was talking of oneness.  Jesus was speaking of what he would pray for us in John 17...that we would be one in Him. So the lyrics are about oneness in Him.  

When He rose with ALL POWER he had actually redeemed everything to God. (Colossians 1:20 and 2 Cor. 5:18) He had reconciled what had to be reconciled and He reigns.  He is KING.  I hope this is making sense.  He IS KING.  He isn't waiting to be King. He is waiting for all things to come under subjection to His kingship. 1 Cor. 15:25 and Heb. 2:8. He must reign...then when all things are made subject...He turns it all back over to God our Father.  

Back to the song...open up your gates before Him and crown him...stand him up... Yesterday TV was talking about Stand up to Cancer (which is a great cause) but I was singing Jesus Stand up in ME!  I crown you Jesus. Stand inside my chest. Let your blood flow through my veins and put your wind in my lungs. I just want to love you! Again the lyrics are about the oneness that has been given to us because of Jesus Christ's obedience to God.  

Ephesians 1:19-20

"and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which to come.  He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church...

As I listened and pondered the song, as I worshipped the King, I simply said,  "Lord I crown you. Please show me where I have not crowned you. In what areas of my life are you not reigning?"  See He is King and if He is not reigning it's because the will of people has not been surrendered. God does not force us to serve Him and neither does His Son. We must surrender. We must give him the rightful seat in our hearts.  We must crown him and stand HIM UP in us!!! 

If the Kingdom is not manifesting in our lives, in our churches, in our communities it is because we have not taken our rightful places in Him in ONENESS to cause all things to come under His authority. We have a part to play in the manifestation of the Kingdom, as SONS,  just like He did when he walked the earth...as He is so are we in this world...He reigns now. He is King and he has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Rev. 1:6)

Thanks for reading!

Resurrection Glory

I am sharing a poem the Lord gave me in 2012 on Resurrection Sunday. It is funny how I have these creative pieces around as notes in journals and notebooks and even social media.  I originally posted this to my Facebook page, but wanted to share it here since I have shared a few poems before. Celebrate the best gift ever given through a simple act of obedience of a son...His obedience opened the way for us to come home to our Father. We can now experience life everlasting and power from on high...amazing grace how sweet the sound!

HAPPY RESURRECTION 4/8/2012 12:40 am

It's dark and damp
gloom surrounds
can't see the light
fear abounds
heart pounds
thoughts come
thoughts go
creating doubt
unbelief
pressure pushes
waves of grief
the taste of death
a life let go
identity lost
a seed is sown.

A voice is speaking
the heart can hear
words of remembrance
drawing near
"You are my BELOVED in
whom I am well pleased.
The SPIRIT OF THE LORD
is upon you."
FAITH rekindled
FAITH ablaze
words of LIFE
words of GRACE.

A trembling begins
deep within
earth quaking
earth shaking
rumbling from the deepest place
the core of being
spirit ablaze
the kindle burns
a flame begins
LIGHT pervades
CONSUMING FIRE
engulfs the night
darkness dissipates
ALL IS LIGHT.

LIGHT pure
LIGHT clear
LIGHT is LOVE
LOVE has WON.

GLORY rise
GLORY shine
GLORY yours
GLORY mine
LOVE came
LOVE died
LOVE GLORIFIED.

NOW NEW BIRTH IS YOURS
NOW NEW BIRTH IS MINE!

HAPPY RESURRECTION.

Another Pregnant Year

Does that sound familiar to you?  This blog has visited the "pregnant" year before. But before I go into that I want to talk about when my husband and I had our children.  We married young and I was pregnant with our first child by our first anniversary.  LOL and SMH.  So I celebrated that anniversary with a 5 month belly. So romantic, right?  Just imagine it (ladies).  Well, before long another pregnant year came along. I found out we were expecting again.  At that time our first baby was only 8 months old! God had a plan and we kept that pattern rolling like clock work.  All of our children are 2 years apart! So there was always another pregnant year around the corner. I am thankful for God's amazing grace. Our quiver is truly blessed.

When a couple gets pregnant it is an exciting time. A time of waiting but with great expectancy, that is probably where we get the phrase..."we're expecting".  This post isn't about pregnancy though,  it is about the leap year.  Interestingly enough, this year of 2016 is a leap year on both the Gregorian calendar and the Jewish calendar.  During the last Jewish leap year, I blogged about the meaning of a "pregnant" year.  So for this Jewish leap year of 2016 I am going to repost the post from March 2014 and hope that you are encouraged by the powerful meaning behind this unusual term for a leap year.  A Jewish "pregnant year" can be very similar to a natural pregnancy because it is one that can be full of joy and expectancy.

FYI: I did not include everything from the first Pregnant Year post but you can go back and read the introduction or view the video clip if your are interested.

Today, March 11, is the beginning of Adar II which is the equivalent of our February 29.  Instead of just adding a day, the Jewish calendar adds a month in order to have all the Feasts of the Lord fall during the appropriate seasons.  Here is the excerpt from the A Pregnant Year post:


Here is what I learned about this season that we are in:

It's a time of great joy.  It's a time of completion.  It's a time of prophetic fulfillment. It's a time of glory, more glory!  It's a time of victory despite opposition.

Ezra 6:15,16  reads, "And the house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.  And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy". (KJV).

The New Living Translation reads, "The Temple was completed on March 12, during the sixth year of King Darius' reign.  The Temple of God was then dedicated with great joy by the people of Israel, the priests,the Levites and the rest of the people who had returned from exile."

The completion of the temple during the time of Ezra, Nehemiah, Zechariah and Haggai was a huge accomplishment of faith.  It was the culmination of the fulfillment of God's Decree from King Cyrus and then King Darius along with the faithful actions of Nehemiah, Ezra and the people.  The prophets Zechariah and Haggai were instrumental in keeping the people of God encouraged throughout the process of rebuilding. (Ezra 6:14).  In biblical numerology, our New Year of 2014 is prophesied to be one of completion and double blessings because 7 means complete and  2 (or double) times 7 is fourteen.  Here we see that the Jewish Leap Year is prophesying and proclaiming the same blessings! PROPHETIC ALIGNMENT.

Adar is the 12th month on the Jewish calendar and it represents completion.  The word Adar  is translated in Hebrew "exceedingly glorious".  According to Jewish tradition, the pregnant year, is a year to expect victory over all forms of opposition! Can you see how the historical events of Nehemiah and the people of God sets the theme for this proclamation of victory? Against impossible odds and opposition the people of God were able to fulfill the decree of God made through King Cyrus and then Darius.  This was after the rebuilding had stopped because of opposition and the king's original decree was found in the king's treasury! (Ezra 6:1-12).  We are in a season to continue to decree the word of the Lord over our lives believing that the King's decree is established.  God's word does not return to him void! It accomplishes what it is sent forth to do! ( Isaiah 55:11,12).  The Word of God, the King's Decree promises to bring us out with joy.

Finally, this season of Adar II includes the festival of Purim which celebrates the God's deliverance of his people from the evil plot of Haman through the faith filled actions of Queen Esther.  Esther 4:13-16 reveals the Queen's response on behalf of her people.  She decides to go before the King knowing her lapse in protocol could cost her her life.  Instead of losing her life, she became the instrument of God's deliverance. As mentioned in the above Youtube video, there is a Hebrew word that is poorly translated in our bibles as feasts and festivals: moedim.  Moedim is translated as appointment.  The feasts of the Lord are appointments God initiated with His people.  God continues to initiate "moedim" with His people.  Esther answered her "moedim".  Adar is a season of appointment, a moedim.  We must be diligent not to miss our appointment with our God!

JOY. COMPLETION. PROPHETIC FULFILLMENT. GLORY. VICTORY= A PREGNANT YEAR!

Maintain your joy, actually stir it up! Nehemiah 8:10, Romans 14:17 KING'S DECREE. Believe that God will complete what He has begun in you! Philippians 1:6 KING'S DECREE. Keep decreeing the Word of Lord expecting victory despite opposition.  II Corinthians 2:14,  I John 5: 4 KING'S DECREE.  Expect the manifestation of God's glory in your life.  II Corinthians 3:18 KING'S DECREE. Don't stop birthing your promise. Spend time with God. Minister to the Lord. Spend time in prayer. Decree and declare God's word. Listen for instructions. Act on what God speaks. Praise and give thanks. Believe. Have faith in God.

Father, during this Jewish leap year of 2016, I pray that the truth of the power your Word becomes a living reality in your people and that we, as kings and priests, will use it to establish your Kingdom in the earth. Father your Word is incorruptible seed. It will bring forth and it will give birth to your Kingdom purpose.  I pray that as your people we discern and embrace your times and seasons so that we are ready with the Word of the Lord on our lips. In 2016, may your Kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus Name Amen.

It's Another Pregnant Year so be expecting!!!
