"A Time of increase of abundance, and fruitfulness by His Mighty Power" by Keith Miller

 

In Genesis 26:32 we find the story of Isaac re-digging the last well, and the last well is Shebah. This word Shebah also means “the well of seven, the well of covenant, and the well that brings abundant satisfaction.” In other words, that last well that they re-dug and made flow with water again was the well of covenant with the Lord. Such a well will release the Holy Spirit, the fullness of the seven-fold flow of Isaiah 11:2.  As that Shebah well begins to flow, we will experience what Jesus promised in John 4:14—fountains of living water flowing out of us. In Isaiah 12:3, it says, “Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” The word salvation here is translated from the Hebrew word Yeshua. The center and essence of all of this is only true through and by our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

 

In John 7:37–38, Jesus said that we would know rivers of living water because of the fountain, and these rivers of living water would flow for us. These rivers of living water are found in Isaiah 11:2; they are the seven-fold flow of the Holy Spirit. Because the Spirit of the Lord is upon us, the river of God’s wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and fear of the Lord will flow in us in a mighty way. We will see literally thousands of believers begin to function in this flow. Not only will they live in the wonderful sealing of the Holy Spirit, being sealed with His presence, and the abiding of the presence of the Holy Spirit, being led, taught, anointed, and gifted by the Holy Spirit, but they will also have the rivers of the Spirit spring up in them and flow mightily!

 

We see this illustrated in Isaiah 41: The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers in desolate heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, the myrtle and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine and the box tree together, that they may see and know, and consider and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it(Isaiah 41:17–20).

 

People who begin to flow out of His rivers will see wells of salvation spring up. The lost will be drawn to the fountain, the same fountain that we have also drunk from, and we can say to them, “Come, drink from this well.” And as they do, they will experience the words of Jesus in John 4:14. As they drink from His water, He will put a fountain within them. Too many believers are only enjoying little buckets of water. Jesus doesn’t want us to just have a little bit every once in a while. He invites us to draw deeply from the well of salvation with joy, and He wants the rivers to flow from within us. He wants us to live fully activated, drawing deep and moving and flowing and functioning out of all that He supplies to us so that we will succeed and prosper in the things He’s called us to do. In the land, He will take our lives and reveal His glory (see Ps. 85:9). When He reveals this, He will be like a magnet to thousands of people all through the nations, and thousands upon thousands will be born again.

 

I’m ready for meetings where hundreds get born again! I’m ready to see the people we’ve been praying for come and drink from the river! I’m ready to see the well of salvation spring up. I’m ready to see people come and drink from the well that brings abundant satisfaction. I also want to see believers learn how to draw deeply from the well of Yeshua that brings abundant satisfaction from the river of His pleasure.

 

This is the beginning of that season. According to John 15:5, it’s going to be a fruitful season. It’s going to be a powerful season. Bearing much fruit, as is described in John 15:5, doesn’t happen because we do more works. It is the result of increase in His power. That is what produces the fruit. It’s about getting the supply that produces the fruit, and that’s what the rivers are. Trees can’t bear fruit without being watered.

 

Because of this, I believe it’s going to be a powerful season of hunger for the revelation of the Word. I believe this is a season of increase, abundance, and fruitfulness that will bring harvest for our lives. I believe the well of the seven will flow mightily in the coming days. I believe this will be a time of recovery of lost things.

 

I believe that as we behold God’s glory, we will also encounter His goodness. And as we encounter His goodness, He will bring recovery and restoration of things we’ve lost in the previous season. I believe that as we are going through the gate of a New Year, a gate of the seven, that God’s going to supply everything we need to live victoriously. As a result, we will reveal the glory of the Lord, and all the earth will become full of the knowledge of His goodness and His glory. By the display of His power in His people’s lives, unbelievers will be provoked to jealousy, and they’ll begin to call on the name of Jesus Christ. 

 

I believe there’ll be literally thousands of believers, even in the next 18 months, who will know new levels of God’s power and authority and will experience the seven-fold flow of the Holy Spirit.

The Seven Rivers Flowing! by Keith Miller

God did not create us to be casual observers of history while we live here on earth. There is nothing casual about God! He is extreme, and He has called us to live extreme lives as history-makers who live in constant increase as we go about transforming the world for His glory and His Kingdom, just as Jesus did!

Jesus was extreme, and He branded and seared everything He touched with the Father’s glory. He never settled for or experienced partial success because partial would not blaze the massive glory trails He blazed, on which multitudes were healed, saved, and delivered for generations following! Two thousand years later, His is still the greatest legacy any one human being has ever left on the face of the earth.

He walked, lived, breathed, and had His being in the brilliance of the Father’s glory. Jesus knew of and tapped into the very fullness of the Spirit of God Himself. As a result, He solved every problem and met every need. Every battle, He won. When He sought a realm of revelation, He received it. He could enter into deep communion with His Father at will to receive downloads of wisdom and counsel. If Jesus needed foreknowledge, He had it. Whenever He needed the power to get things done, He got it. Therefore, Jesus had confidence, no matter what went on in the natural. He knew the Father intimately, walked in His peace, and transformed the earth.

Do you know that the Son’s legacy made it possible for us to do the very same things He did. Do you know we have access to that very same fullness—the wisdom, counsel, and power to do the tough stuff? Jesus walked the mountaintops—when it came to drawing from the limitless supply of the fullness of God’s Spirit—so that we could journey in this life along the same heights He did and reach great altitudes as He did on this earth. Because of the blessing of sonship, through receiving Him as our savior (see John 1:12), His dynamic legacy of miraculous and enabling power is our privilege.           

 Not by Our Ability but by His Power

But you shall receive power [dunamis: dynamite miraculous power, force, might, strength, enabling power through the Holy Spirit]when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

—Acts 1:8

Dunamis power transforms; trust me! We’re not talking firecracker-sized explosions of power here but dynamite-force seismic and cataclysmic power so great that when it comes upon us, we’re enabled in such a way that nothing is impossible and everything is possible. It is an earth-shattering, limitless, unceasing, consistent, unending availability of mega-wattage divine power that rattles the world around us. Have you experienced this kind of power in your life, the kind that shakes, influences, moves, and transforms? You need it if you want to leave a legacy for following generations.

What Are You Settling For?

If you have not experienced this power, it may be because you have settled for less than God has intended and made available to you all along by His precious Spirit. Many of us are content with partial victories because of a mindset of limitation. We visit a hospital to pray for a loved one but do not believe for every sick and dying person in the ward to be healed. People should beg to know Jesus when we walk into a room! Community, marketplace, and government leaders—even kings and presidents—should be calling upon us for wisdom and strategy in high matters. More of us should be in media, in the Hollywood scene, in government leadership, and in places of high influence in the marketplace.

Jesus blazed those incredible historic highways by flowing in the “rich treasure of His glory” that the apostle Paul speaks about—that treasure that fills our entire beings unto all the fullness of God (see Eph. 3:16, 19) for that incredible, enabling dunamis power in all things. The Spirit of God and power go hand-in-hand. Paul himself said that his speech and preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power (see 1 Cor. 2:4).

Revelation 3:1 reveals that Jesus had the seven Spirits of God, and Isaiah 11:2 gives us more insight. The prophet wrote that the Holy Spirit Himself rested upon Jesus. From the Holy Spirit flowed wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And the Bible also says Jesus had the Spirit of God upon Him without measure of limit—an unlimited anointing (see Luke 4:18 NLT).

Jesus blew the lid off limitation because He would not settle for a measure or for a limit. Human minds, wisdom, and ability are limited. He had to seek and rely on the fullness of God’s Spirit upon Him in wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, and knowledge, which enabled Him to do the things He did that radically changed the course of history. Only the fullness of God’s Spirit satisfied Him. He did not move an inch without that rich treasure upon Him and the Spirit’s fullness flowing out of His heart; His presence manifested in everything.

Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37–38). John clarified the meaning of Jesus’ statement by adding,“But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:39).

Note that the word rivers is plural. This indicates multiple flows of the precious Holy Spirit. He is one Holy Spirit with seven functions or expressions of Himself through you. It all starts with daily deep-to-deep communion with the Holy Spirit so that by His divine power we will bepartakers of His nature in us (see 2 Pet. 1:3–4).

Each of these great flows of the precious Holy Spirit is available to every believer to help us live in constant increase as we go about transforming the world for His glory. God desires us to see every function and expression of the sevenfold Spirit of God flow in and through our lives for total victory and searing success in bringing in the Kingdom of God. The sevenfold expressions of the Holy Spirit unfold the deep and mysterious secrets of the Kingdom and empower us to do the extraordinary so that Jesus will receive glory and honor through His great power working in and through us.

Conclusion
What it takes to transform a city in a day or to bring home your prodigal or to change the government or to see masses healed all at once or to see growth in your ministry or personal life is His constant manifest presence upon you and His fullness operating through you in wisdom, understanding, might, knowledge, and reverent fear of the Lord. It is an unlimited anointing available to all, and it removes all limitation and impossibility.

If the Holy Spirit is the fullness of God, and God is eternal and ceaseless, then all of the attributes of His Spirit are too. The Lord wants to release in and through our lives these ceaseless rivers of living water so that our lives would demonstrate daily the mighty and powerful flow of the Holy Spirit. Then, by His divine power, we can impact the land with His glory. Remember, partial victory doesn’t make history!

Divine Instruction by Keith Miller

You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold your manna from their mouth”—Nehemiah 9:20.

 

Dear Friends, the Precious Holy Spirit will lead, instruct, and daily teach us!

 

The Lord gave His Good Spirit to instruct the children of Israel . God’s Good Spirit, by Moses, instructed them fully, and as they followed the Lord’s guidance, they could always be certain of provision and assured of His very best.

 

The Lord gives us His very best in the Person of the Holy Spirit to instruct us. The word “instruct” in Hebrew means to have success, to have wisdom, to make wise, to guide wittily, or to give understanding. Jesus expounds on the sentiments of this verse in John 16:13 when He shared, “However when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”

 

 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My Eye” (Ps. 32:8).

 

The context of the word “instruct” in this verse means to be prudent, be circumspect, wisely understand, prosper, to have insight, to teach to act prudently, act wisely, to have success. “Teach,” here means to throw or shoot, to point at or like an archer shooting an arrow. To “guide” here means to advise, consult, to give counsel.

 

The fullness of the careful choice of these words in this verse gives us the sense that with His instruction, teaching, and guidance, we will be able to “see” through God’s Eye the beginning from the end and the end from the beginning. Joshua saw it so that he could say at the end of his life: “Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; and not one word of them has failed” (Joshua 23:14).

 

Inevitability and certainty stands for generations when God counsel, instructs, teaches, and guides us, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:10).

When you let God’s Good Spirit, the Spirit of Truth’s counsel guide and reveal to you how to have insight, how to act and live wisely, how to be successful, and how to prosper, you'll be as a well-tuned arrow that hits the mark often, and this will happen in succeeding ages, even to the end of the world.

May the Lord release a fresh grace and anointing upon you to direct your ways!

 

Lord I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that every person who reads this would know a deeper union with Your Precious Holy Spirit. We thank you for deep, deep communion with the Holy Spirit, such that we can live, move, and have our being in tune with the plan and purposes of the Father.  This is a powerful time in You Father. This is a time of Greater Realms of Glory and Greater Displays of Your Glory. Thank You, the Precious Holy Spirit will guide us and anoint us for this Season of Increase of the Glory! In Jesus Mighty Name!

An Awakening to the Glory by Keith Miller

 

 As I begin this article, I want to share first that what I am writing is not just an article but a deep stirring and a passion in the depths of my heart. The Lord has recently even begun stirring a deeper understanding and a deeper unction to see a national-level of “Glory Revival Awakening” take place. There is such a powerful need of an awakening in the body of Christ right now. In an awakening, a slumber and apathy is loosed off a generation, and they awaken to the sovereignty and purposes of the Lord for their generation that will impact the coming generations until the Lord returns.

 

It is very important for us to embrace and pray into this level of an Awakening in our nation. Psalm 33 it declares that the plans of many will come to nothing, but the counsel of the Lord will stand firm, and blessed is the nation who has the counsel of the Lord. The Lord loves to reveal His counsel to each generation. The Word shows in Isaiah 58:12 that we can see a lasting impact on the foundations of generations that lasts even until the return of Christ:

 

            "Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in." (Isaiah 58:12)

 

We need these three areas of Glory Revival Awakening in the coming days: the sovereignty of the Lord, an awakening of people to the full victory of the cross, and the Lord of the harvest. As I share in this article a few thoughts on the topic of Glory Revival Awakening, it will not be all-inclusive. There is much to say and study on this powerful aspect of a national revival. But in our current society, we are in need of a powerful Awakening that literally awakens a generation to truth that sets us free and impacts the coming generations.

 

It is an amazing thing to see a revival break out from the presence and power of the Lord. In a matter of weeks, months, or a few years, a nation can be changed from decades of spiritual decay and depravity into a new course of societal transformation in the Lord’s purposes.

 

I can say with deep conviction and with great expectation in the Lord that there has been a shift in the atmosphere and that people want to walk and live in greater heights with the Lord. I can feel this transition. In that type of atmosphere, people begin to advance in their callings and purposes in the Lord that will in turn have societal transformation impact in everyday living around them.

 

           “So the Lord stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son Jehozadok, the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God.”(Haggai 1:14)

 

The phrase “stirred up” in this verse means in the original Hebrew “to rouse, awaken, excite, raise up; to incite; to arouse to action; to open one's eyes.” This same Hebrew word is used 75 times in the Old Testament. It is used to describe how an eagle stirs up its nest (Deut. 32:11),and also how a musical instrument is awakened or warmed up before it is played (Psalm 108:2). It’s used in Isaiah 50:4 twice—when  the Lord awakens the prophet each morning, and when He awakens his ear to hear God’s message (from the Spirit Filled Bible Word Wealth).

 

The Lord is arousing many in the body of Christ deep within the inner man to press in even more, creating a deeper hunger from the stirring of the Lord in the hearts of His people. I know this to be true from what I have observed in our own meetings, conferences, and schools. There is a drawing of the Lord for the hungry right now, a deep stirring that brings a cry—a cry of Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and might things, which you do not know.”This is called holy desperation! The Lord initiates the hunger; and as He stirs up our spirit, we respond by calling out to Him. He answers us by showing us great and hidden mighty things we did not know!

 

The word “mighty” there means “inaccessible.” It means that it was once fortified, fenced in, and we had no access, but now it has been opened up so that we can come in! He gives us “clearance” to come in to a place where He reveals mysteries. This creates a deeper longing and hunger in the hearts of His People as He begins to reveal His plans and thoughts to individuals, churches, regions, and nations.

 

Richest Blessings,

GREATER IMPACT AHEAD BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD by Keith Miller

Dear Friends in Christ, Things are accelerating in the realm of the Spirit of the Lord for increased depth and growth in Him, which will bring much change and transformation this year.  The change will be in our own lives and hearts, which comes about by growth in Him. This type of growth will enable us with His strength, to live out and stand up for those things He is preparing us for. This year we will be able to be strong in the Lord, fearing not; prospering and succeeding in our purpose and calling in taking ground and advancing supernaturally by His power, which enables us, through His anointing, to succeed.

In our training times and various gatherings this year, we believe we will see even a greater flow of the Rivers of the Holy Spirit which will powerfully impact people in a life changing manner, which, in turn, will bring a greater demonstration of the evidence of God in their lives, and will equip and build the saints in the manifold wisdom of God for major impact in social transformation for this and future generations.

Janet and I, are thrilled and excited about this new season in which we are aligning up many things in sync with God’s heart to see a people who live and move out of the fullness of the victory of the cross on the earth.  We are seeing in our meetings and schools increasingly, this great flow of the riches of His glory, flowing like a river and releasing great rivers of God, that become rivers in desolate places. The impartation of His Word is incredible when it is anointed by Him; the Word will be busy about in the person to accomplish what He desires, and this will result in a people who are filled with the knowledge of His will AND in all spiritual wisdom and understanding (see Col. 1:9).

FOCUS: Training & Equipping the Saints for Acceleration

We feel such a grace from the Lord upon us as a portion of our ministry mandate, to encourage and equip the saints through our ministry, according to Ephesians 3:10, “to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly [places].”

We will do this through our schools, programming, resources, and gatherings, with a result to:

•    Enable us to see a generation and the coming generation step into a greater revelation and activation of all that has been powerfully lavished upon us as His people upon the earth.  "Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God." (1 Cor. 2:12 Amp)

•    To see mature sons and daughter about the Father's Business and training others to live to the full potential given and made readily available for every believer who has called upon the Mighty Name of Jesus.

We all know that our times are not the same as the previous years have been. It is a time for the maturing of the saints and to have a desire to see acceleration growth in all believers, both the young in the Lord and the seasoned, to see greater kingdom impact in our communities, regions, states, and nations. There are true riches that cannot be bought and when you receive this you have gained something far more valuable then gold, silver, rubies, and anything you can desire.

Please remember to keep us in prayer as we are about the Father's business. Janet, and I travel constantly.  Pray that we will be very effective for the empowering and equipping of the believer to live in God’s fullness.

Thank you so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. We are so very grateful for you. We cannot express deeply enough how much you mean to us.  THANK YOU precious friends in Christ... the Lord will provide for all your needs according to the riches of His glory. If you have seen a delay in harvest be of good cheer because the Lord is allowing it to accumulate compound interest!

Please join me in declaring in prayer, the following for your life!

“We’re coming into sync right now with the plan of Heaven for our lives upon the earth. As it is in heaven, so shall it be in our lives.  We’re going to walk in such a realm of the Spirit that we will gain strength; we are going to increase and we will be fruitful because we’re going to operate by the Spirit of wisdom.  The Holy Spirit is going to search out the deep things of God and reveal them to us, then He is going to give us wisdom to be able to implement and see the fulfillment of those things.  We thank You Father that we’re a people who are being led and instructed to live wisely and wittily by the Holy Spirit.  Our steps are ordered by the Holy Spirit.  This is going to be the greatest year of building according to the blueprints of Heaven for divine destiny that brings Glory and Honor to You Precious Lord.  We’re going to be amazed at what You are going to do this year. 

 We thank You, Lord, that some of those things that we have waited for ten or twenty years, that this year there is going to be a 30, a 60 and a 100 fold increase of them. I thank You for it in Jesus’ mighty name! Amen.”

Richest Blessings!

BE FILLED WITH MIGHT AND WISDOM FOR 2016 by Keith & Janet Miller

Hello! Many blessings to you, wonderful friends.

Here we are on the highway of time, making the turn into 2016. Incredible! It seems as if I was just writing this letter for 2015. This year has been a very active year. So much has happened, but at the same time, so much is still to be done. As we enter 2016, the Holy Spirit has shown me some very specific things to ask for and believe for in this season—not only for us as a ministry but also for all of our wonderful friends. The Lord has given me a powerful directive and anointing for 2016 to see the body of Christ live in a fresh empowerment of strength from the might of God and in the wisdom of the Lord. 

In our meetings, we will see incredible moments when the atmosphere will be flooded with the Spirit of might, accompanied by wisdom downloads. In this powerful atmosphere, the Holy Spirit will bring courage and strength to the God-inspired dreams within the hearts of the hearers. The presence of the Lord empowers and strengthens the desires He has placed in our hearts. Many times over the years, I have seen God come like this, and His presence always causes incredible depths of strength and courage to arise in people’s hearts. I have seen the roar of the Lord release His majestic glory to such an extent that everyone in attendance literally began to shout with a voice of triumph. 

In this season, as the Word is ministered and the room is filled with His presence, the Lord will activate greater levels of strength and power in the depths of the hearts of those who are there. We will see a people arise who know their God, who are strong, and who do great exploits (see Dan. 11:32).

What will be amazing will be the quality of the depth of the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord that will be revealed in those precious moments. People will encounter the majestic realm of the Lord. This will activate and establish them in the might, wisdom, and understanding of the seasons and times they are in, and as a result, they will know how to move forward into a season of advancement on destiny’s highway.

Weariness will be replaced with a fresh zeal that is fueled by the might of the Holy Spirit. Fear will be replaced with greater dimensions and depths of the knowledge of the love of Christ. This will cause our root system to grow. The living waters that nourish our roots will never run dry. Wisdom to understand what to do is being released.

When the Lord fills the atmosphere with the Spirit of might, miracles will break out all over. Faith will be ignited in people in a fresh way, and they will grab hold of the promises of the Lord for their lives! In a twinkling of an eye, years of hurt, delays, and opposition will be broken through, and their faces will glow with the Lord’s fresh oil.

Will this happen in every meeting? That is our hope and expectation. That is the atmosphere we will contend for in every meeting. I share this to build your expectation and belief for incredible new levels of the strength of God for your life! 

As we enter 2016, we will be praying several keys from Ephesians 3 over you:

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.

—Ephesians 3:14–16

Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is being very specific about why he is praying. This a specific prayer, and it is to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, so we know it applies to our lives. This is an eternal prayer that carries with it power to impart and activate in whatever era of time it is read and applied. Here, Paul prays for every believer in the Lord Jesus that a specific gift would be released and understood. This gift from the Father is the strengthening of His might by His Spirit in the inner person. And it is measured according to the riches of His glory. When a gift is given, it can only be as good as that which is backing it. I could give you access to my personal checking account to draw out all that you need exactly when you need it. But when my 500 dollars runs out, so does the gift. The gift is only as good as what is backing it. Here Paul says that we can be strengthened by might according to the riches of His glory. In other words, this gift will not run out but will, in fact, increase. What an incredible gift!

It would be like going to the ocean and getting a big bucket of ocean water. Yes, you would have the ocean; yes the bucket would be full; but what is a bucket compared to the entire ocean? The whole ocean is waiting.  In the same way, we can live in perpetual and increasing strength in our inner person according to the riches of His glory. As we go into 2016, I am praying for you to know this perpetual and increasing strength of God according to the riches of His glory.

We are entering 2016 with great expectation for advancement in mighty ways. As we move forward in this season, we are going to take new ground. We must stay fresh in the anointing, which will keep us fresh in inner strength, which will keep us strong in the Lord and His mighty power. As we stay fresh in the strength of the Lord by the might of the Holy Spirit, we will maintain high levels of faith, joy, and confidence. This is vital for us as we begin taking new ground.

We must stay strong in faith in this new season, because as we advance in new levels of destiny we will face obstacles. But as we are strengthened by the might of the Holy Spirit, we will rise up against all obstacles, limitations, and fears. The Lord strengthens us and enables us to rise up against unbelievable odds. The fresh oil or dunmanis of the Lord will also empower us have greater faith and to see the impossible become possible!    

I declare this over you: You will succeed and have great advancement and progress in your divine destiny in 2016! In the words of Paul:

Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us.—Ephesians 3:20 AMP  

As you go into the new year, we pray and decree the following faith declarations over you:

·         This strength will empower you to walk out divine destiny.

·         This strength will empower you to believe the impossible is possible

·         This strength will empower you to become who God created you to be and do what He created you to do.

·         This strength will empower you to walk through the open door of your now and let the past be gone.

·         This strength will empower you to say no to every resistance of the enemy against you and your family.

·         This strength will empower you to stay the course and persevere in the perfect plan and purpose of the Father for 2016.

·         This strength will empower you to release courage to others in this coming season.

·         This strength will empower you to be fresh in your spirit and fresh in your walk with the Lord.

·         This strength will empower you to receive fresh inspiration, joy, and confidence from the Lord.

·         This strength will empower you to run and not grow weary.

As we close this year, I would like to ask you to sow your best gift into the work of the Lord. You will be sowing into agreement with the things we have listed for you, but also for the work of the Lord that we will be doing in 2016.  

As a thank you, we will send you a five-CD set of messages, plus a brand new signed Journal of Breakthrough (mailed on January 20, 2016).

The world around us is experiencing increasing uncertainty and unrest. But as believers in Christ, we can be steadfast and ever growing in His love, peace, and joy. The Lord is giving prophetic insight and greater increase of power to see new levels and sustainable breakthroughs in people’s lives, families, churches, businesses, communities, cities, and regions.

As you sow into the ministry, you will also be impacting thousands of lives in 2016. You will be sowing to see Kingdom impact in the following ways: 

·         To see people become born again

·         To see people become equipped, empowered, and activated for advancement in their divine destiny

The OverComers Anointing by Keith L. Miller

Walking in the strength of the Holy Spirit is an incredible thing! It's a place where we live as overcomers not as those who are overcome. It’s where we operate in supernatural ability, not in the natural. And it’s the place where the enemy has no place!

As we grow and walk in the knowledge and revelation of God's strength and fullness our ability to walking in the realm of authority increases. Then the strength and might of God isn't just upon, but also in us.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened [kratos] with might [dunamis] through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen (Ephesians 3:14-21).

Live in the Place of "I Can Do"

Imagine waking every morning with the confidence that God's strength is in you. Imagine that you would be able to do all things through Christ who gives you strength (Phil. 4:13). And, this strength in you is according to His wealth, according to the riches of His glory, according to who He is! "All" means everything. It means everything that He has purposed for you. It’s above and beyond what you can think or imagine and it’s according to the greatness of His power that works within us so that Christ Jesus may receive ALL of the glory in the Church and [JM1] all glory for the ages to come.

We're living in a time where God is doing and will do, exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we can ask or think, and He wants to do these things through us! His thoughts are far above ours. In fact, His thoughts and ways are so high that He wants to blow the lid off limitation in our life and release us into an entirely different and higher level of destiny in Him. God wants you to believe for your family, your neighborhood, your city and your nation! By the power of the Holy Spirit and His incredible fullness, you can think big!

An Abundance of God's Wealth

According to Paul, God bestows to us strength and power according to the riches of His glory (Eph. 3:16). His glory is abundant, it's bountiful and it's endless. We can never ask for too much strength and power because it's available to us in the same measure as He is glorious – it’s abundant and unfathomable! His abundance is the weightiness of who He is, His character, His nature, His strength and His power. He gives, imparts and bestows that in us, His beloved children. We cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny or calling until we know the strength of God, and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man. This strength comes only through the power of the Holy Spirit.

His Strength

The word Paul used for "strengthened" in Ephesians chapter three comes from the Greek root word kratos[i]for "power," and in biblical context means:dominion, strength and manifested power. God wants us to live by the strength of who He is in our inner man. Kratos especially signifies "exerted (applied) strength, power shown effectively in a reigning authority." More specifically, it primarily refers to God's kingdom authority, dominion, and majesty through the outward manifestation of His power. Kratos is used in God's dominion context also in Paul's letter to Timothy (I Tim. 6:13-16b).

Kingdom Dominion in Your Inner Man

The world, or natural realm, will no longer rule your life if you are being strengthened by kratos, that is, being strengthened by kingdom dominion in your inner man. Kratos applied gives you the strength to do what you couldn't do before Jesus came into your life. God's kingdom authority, dominion and majesty should reign in every believers’ inner man, for we must walk steadfast in the things of the Lord. We cannot waver if we want to ascend to the incredible levels that God wants to release right now.

When kratos dominates your inner man the enemy's lies won't hurt you; they won’t invade your thought process or hinder you. Jesus gave me a wonderful revelation about kratos. When the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews came for Him in the garden and asked for Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus answered, "I AM He." Such was His strength and His confidence that "they drew back and fell to the ground" (John 18:4-8). That, my friends, was Kratos in action -- the manifestation of kingdom dominion!

Paul prayed for us to be strengthened (kratos) with "might." This word in the Greek is dunamis (from which we derive words like dynamic, dynamo and dynamite) which signifies the inherent power of God. The Lord showed me a vision of dunamis. It was like swallowing a Holy Ghost hand-grenade which exploded in our inner man. Wow. God bestowed this power according to what? According to the unlimited riches of His glory! This dynamite explosive power reigns and rules by the strength of the Holy Spirit in our inner man. This is what He granted to us! It's ours. We can stand firm, hallelujah.

How to Live by the Strength of Who He Is

Listed below are five ways we can learn to live by His strength within us:

1. Become deeply rooted

We're encouraged to be strong in the Lord and His kratos power (Eph. 6:10). Read the Word and discover the fullness of this strength, power and love for you. Develop intimacy and friendship with the Lord by spending time in the secret place of His presence. Seek and come to know Him more than you have before. Those who abide in Jesus will know the anointing and will flow in it (John 15). When your roots grow deep you'll flourish (Ps. 92:13) and the Spirit of the Lord will be upon you in strength!

2. Acquaint yourself with what God would have you do, pray for wisdom

Paul prayed that the saints at Colossae might be fully acquainted with what God would have them do in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Col. 1:9-10). He offered a similar prayer on behalf of the Ephesians (Eph. 1:17-19). Wisdom and spiritual understanding awaken you to the reality of God's strength and power in you, working through you and flowing from you.

3. Plug into fresh oil daily

"But my horn you have exalted like a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil" (Ps. 92:10). To be exalted as a wild ox is to be strengthened. Oxen are strong and powerful. It takes a lot to knock an ox down. Fresh oil releases the strength of the Lord in the inner man.

It is only by His Spirit (Zech. 4:6) that you are able to accomplish the mighty and impossible and take pleasure in infirmities, in reproach, in persecution and in distress for Christ's sake. For when you are weak, then you are strong (2 Cor. 12:10). So become as strong as an ox by tapping into the precious oil of the Spirit every day.

4. Trust in the Lord

We cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny until we know and trust God’s strength and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man. This strength only comes by the power of the Holy Spirit. David trusted God even though he was hunted and persecuted by King Saul. He said he wasn't plucked up or destroyed, but flourished like a green olive tree in the house of the Lord (Ps. 52:8).

5. Rejoice for Christ and His Mighty Strength in You

Rejoice that you can rule and reign in this life with boldness, confidence, strength, zeal and vigor. When Christ, your High Priest, goes before you, you can walk in the fullness of your inheritance. You can walk in every manifestation of power available to you, including kratos power. Rejoice around the throne and sing a new song of victory, for Christ in you and His mighty strength in your inner man! "Blessing and honor and glory and power [kratos] be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever, and ever" (Rev. 5:13b)!

Ocean of Oil by Keith Miller

 

I recently had a powerful dream. When I was awakened, I knew the dream was a prophetic declaration for a coming release in the Spirit. In the dream, I began shouting out, “I had a dream!” In this dream, I saw a new level of anointing being poured out. I could actually see the anointing above waiting to be poured out. It was like an ocean of water coming, but it was the anointing. I also said in the dream, “This will bring harvest! You will see harvest from this anointing!”

 

When I awoke, I knew immediately that this fresh, rich, green, flourishing oil will bring refreshing, renewing, refocusing, and replenishing. I knew this anointing was going to be a very powerful anointing for shaking off the dust of the previous season and past weariness.  The dust and weariness of the previous seasons will be shaken off, and a new level of refreshing, renewing, refocusing, and replenishing will take place. The weariness will be removed, and refreshing will happen, not just once but perpetually.

 

Also, in the dream I was shouting, “I see a new level of the anointing being poured out!” I could literally see the anointing above. In the dream I was shouting with excitement, beckoning the hungry. “It is an ocean of anointing; it will bring harvest!” I cannot fully express in words the joy and excitement that overwhelmed me in the dream, or the simultaneous intensity of what I was seeing and feeling. I could visibly see the anointing as it was coming, and I was proclaiming the coming of the anointing when it came.

 

I want to encourage you with this word. A new level of the anointing will be released. Also, you will shake off the dust of the previous season. This is a time to be refreshed, renewed, refocused, and replenished for the new season you are entering into. Let’s get under the ocean of oil! 

 

Have a Great day in the Lord,

 

Keith
