Love endures everything.
It is always ready to believe the best of every person.
It is full of faith and hope at all times.
It always remains strong in any situation.
It is infinitely sacrificial and is a giver without limits.
It is brave, a fighter, and is not intimidated in the face of any enemy..
It does not give up, it wins!
In it there is no fear.
It can do anything and nothing can stop it.
Love shreds to pieces the fiercest foe and conquers tempestuous rivers in its desire to save one who is drowning.
Love is courageous.It demolishes insurmountable walls.
It changes hearts of stone into hearts of flesh.
It has thousands of unreachable paths and where there is no way, it creates one.
Love never fails.
It never decays, never becomes obsolete, never abandons the cause and never ceases to exist.
Love can not be overcome by anything or anyone.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
It is the purest manifestation of His being. Ana Mendez-Ferrell
We begin each year with learning more of intimacy with our God and trust you continue to walk in that place all year and beyond, for it is a journey and divine love and strength is our guide. We have been given the Holy Spirit to comfort, direct and counsel for He is a personal being with intellect, emotions and will. He is holy, he is God’s spirit living in us. We therefore have far more than the Old Testament prophets, we were chosen for this very hour and equipped to thrive under enemy attack. It is no mistake that you are here, and you will triumph through this hour. Your sensitivity and discernment will increase and you will find yourself deeply saddened and weeping as you look at the devastation all around you, for it is the Holy Spirit weeping and you are knowing His heart. Praying will come from the heart of God, led by His Spirit, it will go beyond words and even beyond speaking in tongues, to tears, praying through an avalanche of tears.
You will find as the year unfolds, that you have a greater spiritual sensitivity. Where the enemy thought he finally conquered prophecy and ousted it from gatherings of the elect of God, he found himself deceived, for the gifts of the Spirit have been taken up and His beloved are running with them, sustained by purity, lighting the way for His Bride, bringing the fruits of the Spirit within them to full and complete maturity.
A new cleansing will take place before our royal commissioning. We have been marked with our identity and now our ministry will flow from that identity not our fears or insecurities. You will minister only because you belong to Him. Holiness will govern our minds. We will be anointed by a continual flow of the oil of the Holy Spirit. Gifting opens doors but anointing sustains authority. More and more you will know what it is to carry the weight of the Spirit.
The Lord says of those in the school,
“You dwell in quiet places,
matured through trials,
shaped by intimacy,
carrying my fire forged
in the secret place.”
