We are living in a day of mass confusion, fear, and uncertainty. But for us in the body of Christ it should not be so. The Spirit of God who gives peace, comfort, and direction is speaking to us very clearly. The One who lives within is calling us to “come away” and abide in the shelter of the Most High. We are not to simply exist in these times, but rather we are to be more than conquerors and be the example of hope to the world and to those who are searching for answers. As we discern the times and respond accordingly (I Chronicles 12:32), we will secure and live in the promises such as those found in Psalm 91. We will be carriers and releasers of the glory of God in the earth. It is necessary for us to be able to discern.
In Matthew 16:3, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees for not being able to discern the times and the signs of the times. If we are to know how to live in these times, we must discern what the Lord is saying at all times. We don’t want to get caught looking and not seeing. Not only will we miss the promises and provisions of the Lord, we may actually miss the Lord Himself.
The keys to discernment: In John 5:30, Jesus gives us the single greatest key to discernment. “As I hear, I judge (i.e., discern/determine). The key to discerning correctly is hearing. One of the most common things I hear throughout the body of Christ is, “I can’t hear God.” Beloved, please hear this. Jesus said that His sheep DO hear His voice (John 10:27). In John 5:25, Jesus said, “An hour is coming, and now is, when the dead [spiritually dead, not those in the grave], will hear the voice of the Son of God,” because the Father who has life in Himself has granted the Son to have life in Himself. Did you get that? Even those who have yet to be born again are now exposed to and able to hear the voice of God. The Light and Life of the world stepped into the world of death and darkness and made Himself known. How much more can we who have the Spirit of God living in us hear His voice! Let me tell you what the voice of the Son of God sounds like. It sounds like everything that pertains to life and godliness – love, hope, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, blessing, and all that is within the goodness of God. It is everything that is the opposite of death, such as fear, hopelessness, and condemnation. You can hear and discern the voice of God!
Next, Jesus gave us a key to hearing. “My judgment [which comes from hearing] is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me” (John 5:30 NKJV). So, the key to discerning is hearing. And, the key to hearing is to only seek the will of the Father. George Muller, one of the greatest preachers of the 19th century, said it this way, “In every situation, I seek to get my heart in such a condition that it has no will of its own.” When we are surrendered to the will of God, we are able to hear clearly. This is a daily and lifetime process. It does not come from striving, but rather resting in and submitting ourselves to the finished work of the cross.
Another key that Jesus gave is found in John 7:17 (NKJV). “If anyone wills to do is will, he shall know.” Our willingness to obey naturally follows a heart that is surrendered. Oswald Chambers said this, “To have a master and to be mastered is not the same thing. To have a master means that there is one who knows me better than I know myself, one who fathoms the remotest abyss of my heart and satisfies it. It is one who has brought me into the secure sense that he has met and solved every perplexity and problem of my mind. It is the relationship of a son to a father.” While Jesus was truly a servant in every way, He was always obedient because of the loving relationship that He had with the Father. In other words, as we live in the assurance of His love for us, obedience is the most natural response to His voice, because we trust Him.
Be encouraged today as you live fully trusting Him. Take time each day to draw near to your Father. Don’t let the noise of the world and the distraction of business rob your intimacy with God. As you do, you will clearly hear His voice, live in true discernment, and shine as a bright light in a world of people looking for hope.
Please pray for South Africa as we near the elections pray for peace and that God will expose any plans of the enemy to disrupt the elections. In Jesus name.
Have a blessed week everyone.

Shalom.

Man’s steps are ordered by the Lord
Dear saints,
Another week is upon us, new challenges, new trials, and territory to conquer. One day I went to the throne room and sat at the feet of the Lord. Just resting in His presence, worshiping and waiting on the Lord, sharing stuff from my heart, just hanging out, I just love doing that. Then the Lord gave me a Word.
Buy the field, own the field, don’t forget the treasure. Work the field, put in fertilizer and water and seed. Weed the field put in the cornerstone (Jesus), and build up the walls but do not put a ceiling on leave it open so I can establish a Jacob’s ladder and an open portal for the angels and for My glory.
I give you my cloud by day and my fire by night to lead you into your promised land I give you the giants and establish my covenant with you.
What can I say, I was floating on cloud nine all day, and the presence of the Lord was so great in the room.
We do serve an awesome God. A few days ago my friend Bev, sent me an email that was an answer to prayer, and indicated that I should go back into the wilderness. 2024 is going to be an interesting year for sure.
I know I am about to birth a whole new season. I am so excited. It is like starting off on a journey into unknown territory, but you don’t have to worry, because the Lord’s got your back, you don’t have to get anxious about the journey, you just have to get in that spiritual vehicle and drive off and know that angels have been provided to help you get there, the heavenly GPS (Holy Spirit) is tuned in to show you where to go, you will not get lost, and even if you take a wrong turn, He will guide you back to the right road. He will supply all your needs for the journey, even making rivers in the desert for your sustenance, like the prophet who sat next to the river and He sent ravens with bread and meat to feed him. Your river will dry up when you have to move on. It is so amazing to serve the Lord. You never know what He will get up to next. Just when you think you have Him pegged, He does a 360° turn around and you land up going in a totally different direction. He started off by telling me (in an audible voice) “you will be a fisher of men” and you thought “Oh so I am going to evangelize” and then He tells you “separate yourself and pray” and you land up in your living room on your knees for 7 years. You keep wandering when He was going to tell you to hit the streets, then instead He sends you with messages to churches. You don’t know what you are doing, your friends get worried and anxious about you, and you just keep landing in wildernesses and it is all confusing. The signposts don’t really help, the next word you get says “you have a gathering anointing and will bring in a host of souls” so how do you do that when you are sitting in your prayer closet? Then the next signpost comes up and He says” Go to the hills, fetch lumber and build my church” more confusion, especially when your kids say, “maybe you are supposed to start a church?” so back you go into the wilderness and pray and pray and pray, and the next signpost says “You have a teaching anointing?” Ag no Lord, really! “I don’t have a clue where this road is leading. Then you get a confirmation and the Lord says “I have put such a strong word in your mouth, that when you speak people will be delivered and healed” Ok I give up this road is very confusing, don’t you agree. It is like the Lord is playing games with you, then the next signpost says “If you will dare to walk on the water I will use you in ways you never thought possible” and you say “Ok Lord just go ahead and use me, please, use me, just show me WHERE!”
So you are still going to churches and delivering messages and two people who do not know you, tell you “ you are going to write a book, that is going around the world and touch many lives” and you just look at them say “Yah, yah, pull the other one” you have got it wrong, I am NOT a writer!. So you put that one on the shelf, waiting for God to drop that one into your spirit when you LEAST expect it. Eventually you work out that you are a messenger, Hallelujah, puzzle solved right? I now have it figured out. I know now where the road is leading to, but GOD decides that you have too much time on your hands, so He tells you, you are going to write letters “Huh!” there is that writing thing again. So you start with about 5 letters you type out on an old typewriter and give it to your friends by hand. Then He decides to enlarge your territory and gives you a computer and the internet and you land up sending letters to all parts of the world. “Did not see that one coming. So He thinks you still have too much time on your hands and you just innocently visit a friend who just happens to be a prophetess and? Yes You guessed it, He takes you on a side road and says “you will raise up Esthers! “ mmmmm!!!
Oh sure as if I know what that means. So just when I had all that pegged here I am once again embarking on a new venture. Now who says being a Christian is boring?
Want my opinion, ha! If you are leading a boring, non descript, visionless life, just give the Lord a heads up and whisper in His ear and say
“I AM HERE LORD – USE ME. “
I guarantee that He will take up the challenge and who knows one of you could be the next BILLY GRAHAM, CATHRYN KHULMAN, or a David, a Paul, I think God sort of hijacked them into His service.
Well I hope you have all been inspired. Go ahead whisper in His ear “Lord, here I am use me”
Shalom.
Catharina.

Every one is speaking of open doors, this year, let me tell you a story of a wrong door that I opened.
I did not yet have a revelation of the journey that the Lord had put me on, and not one of my friends seem to know what I was supposed to do, in fact they thought I was a little crazy. I had received a word “separate yourself and pray”. We all wish that when God gives a word that He would reveal what He means. But He wants us to press in, and press in, and really press in and seek Him, before He reveals His plans and purposes for the journey. I had no idea what God was planning for me, I just relied on the mentors He had placed in my life. A friend came and said, that she was attending a church and they needed an “intercessor”.
In the first place I did not even know what an intercessor was! So she told me it was someone who prays! Well God had just given me the gift of prayer because before this I had no idea how to pray, until suddenly filled with the Holy Spirit, I could pray! I told her that I would come. Little did I know that this would be one of many doors God would send me through.
However, things did not go well, and all my friends left the church, even my children went and attended another church. I was left all alone. I wondered if I had gone through the wrong door. Of course the enemy took advantage of my lack of knowledge and convinced me to open another door. I left and landed in a caravan with three of my children, the eldest had just started a course which paid him weekly to attend. My husband was going from one job to another as things went horribly wrong and we had no money, I had twins that needed to go to school, and I needed to find a place to rent. I could not find one school that had a place for them. All the doors were shut, and I could not even rent a room. We lived on the money my son got from the course, mostly mince and pasta after he had bought his ticket for the week. I was at my wits end. I prayed and prayed but God seemed to have gone fishing and did not reply. I could not understand.
Then my friend whose caravan we stayed in, in her backyard, came to me and said “God said you must return and finish what you started”. I did not know if I should be relieved or ashamed. She gave me scripture to confirm what He said. Deuteronomy 28:30 You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but not live in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but not gather its grapes.
I had brought a curse upon me and my family, by opening the wrong door. In other words the Lord was saying, “nothing you do will work, your plans will fail”. I was devastated, I asked the Lord to forgive me, and told Him that I would return. BUT that would not be easy, I contacted my friend Marie and asked her what I should do. She came and fetched me and at her place she handed me a set of house keys. She told me to open a door in the spirit. I thought she was a bit crazy how was that going to help me to move back. But I did it in faith and thanked the Lord for this new door. The next week she took me to my other friend in the place I was supposed to return to, she told me that she knew of a place where I could rent a room which was at a caravan park which could sleep 6 people. It only cost R500 a month. I still did not have a cent to my name. I returned and thanked the Lord for this place and in faith phoned and secured the room. I had to move our stuff and pay for the room and did not know how, but I trusted that the Lord would reward my intention of going to finish the task. I phoned my husband and he told me he had secured a new job driving a truck for another company and he had money to give me. My son had started a new job and they gave him a vehicle so we could move our stuff and I returned to finish the task.
The important things was that I had to repent of opening the wrong door, which led to disaster. And God honored my repentance and resolve to do what He wanted me to do, by opening a new door which gave me the opportunity to go and complete the task.
This year is the year of open door and Psalm 24 goes with it, you should study it out as there are interesting lessons in this Psalm. Be careful of doors that open, make sure it is the Lord that is opening them, and not the enemy. It may seem like an awesome door, but it could be a trap. I know of a couple that had a word that they should go to another country, but they did not wait for God to open the door, they sold everything and went. Their young daughter went for a solitary walk on the beach and was killed. They were devastated and cried out to the Lord only to be told it was not the right time to go.
I know there are many of you that are waiting for God to open a new doors this year. Just make sure it is the right time and the right door. Always get confirmation from the Lord, if doors start to open. It may seem just the door you have been waiting for, but the enemy is a liar and he can also open doors, that could lead to your destruction instead of a blessing.
Lord I pray for each and everyone that is reading this blog, Father we need open doors to do your work in the Kingdom, there are many unsaved, people out there, the work is so enormous, and you need warriors to fight the wars that are coming, intercessors to cover them and pray in the harvest. Many are in need of new jobs for this year, and need you to open the right doors for them. Many do not know or are uncertain of what you need them to go and do, and need you to open the right doors for them. Thank you Lord for doors that you will open for us to go and complete our tasks that you have given us or are preparing us to go and do. Give us the faith to pray for those doors and lead us to them. I ask this in Jesus precious name. Amen.
Shalom.
Catharina.

“ACPE Word for 2024: The Year of Shakings & Open Doors”
I want to wish all of you a happy and prosperous 2024, I usually start every new year off with some prophetic words so I hope you enjoy these from the Prophets.
Introduction from Cindy Jacobs:
Hello Everyone,
We are excited to send you the compilation of the word of the Lord for 2024 from the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders and the Global Prophetic Consultation. Two hundred prophets from 32 nations met together, and the following is a compilation of the words that we had a consensus on for the new year.
These words are a compilation of prophecies from meetings with 200 prophets from around the world. They are done after the model found in Acts 13: “Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’ Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away” (Acts 13:1-3 NKJV).
Note: this group is representative of different ethnicities and socioeconomic groups. They prayed and came to an agreement that the Holy Spirit was speaking the same thing to all of them. It was the Holy Spirit and not one individual prophet or teacher. We, as the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, are issuing these words in agreement, that this is what the Holy Spirit is saying to us. It also includes submitted words from the larger group of the Global Prophetic Consultation. These prophets are from many nations and represent many ethnicities as in Acts 13.
It is also to be noted that some of this revelation came during the Jewish New Year of 5784, during September. Others were presented to us for the 2024 New Year during the October and first week of November time frame for our Global Prophetic Week in the Dallas, Texas area of Cedar Hill. In looking back over them, their accuracy is profound. Also, in checking words from previous years, the current history that we are living in proves that they were, indeed, the word of the Lord.
Shakings
“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake Heaven and Earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Hag. 2:6-8 NKJV)
Tremendous shakings are coming to the earth. One heinous one came on October 7, 2023.
The October 7, 2023, 9/11 Event in Israel:
Several of our prophets were given words of warning in advance of this attack, that it was time to “call 911” as to an attack on Israel. One was given in Israel, with the word being that it was a “‘call 9/11’ time” to sound the alarm and pray against terrorist attacks that were coming to the nation. The word was exactly that a dark time was coming to Israel; but afterward, there would be a great spiritual revival. Other prophets also reported knowing that there were serious attacks coming. One warning was given on October 6 – that the prince of Persia (Dan. 10:13), the ancient spirit out of Iran, wanted to create chaos and confusion. This proved very true the next morning. The ancient prince of Persia is a powerful spirit that wants an empire.
Powers of darkness are spoken of in Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (NKJV).
The Nations Are Raging
With these shakings, we see that the nations are raging: “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us'” (Ps. 2:1-3 NKJV).
The ancient prince of Persia (as mentioned earlier) is now flexing his muscles and wants to align with the powers of darkness over the nations of Russia (the Bear) and China (the Dragon). We have been prophesying for around ten years now about an alliance of these nations, along with North Korea. We see Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea in alliances to redraw the map of the world territorially. For instance, North Korea has been promised the whole Korean peninsula.
For the past three years, we have engaged in prophetic intercession as watchmen on the wall to stay World War 3. Nations are aligning with nations. Some of these alliances will be formed to deal with old grudges between nations and the West. The whole world’s balance of power could shift to communism and Islam. While the whole world is not in a traditional war, we are certainly in a war of ideologies.
Wartime Watchmen
We are issuing a worldwide call for “wartime” watchmen to fast and pray and be on the wall of the nations. Through the fervent prayers of many around the world, World War 3 has been averted for now – although it is tenuous. Therefore, we must not be weary in our prayers. Europe is in real peril, and the nations bordering Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Moldova, and Belarus. Belarus has already aligned with Russia and needs our prayers too! Let’s pray that nothing “sparks” World War 3, like has happened with the other world wars.
We were given a special admonition to go back and read Shaping History through Prayer and Fasting by Derek Prince, and Intercessor by Rees Howells. The history of Western civilizations, such as Europe, is still in the balance, and there is still time to tip the scales away from world war.
Asia
Asia, you are strategic watchmen in this serious hour! Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, India and other Asian nations, your prayers are coming up before God in this hour. It is time for many 24/7 houses of prayer to be established. As we have prophesied previously, worship is a major key to protect your borders.
What Time Is It?
Many times, we ask ourselves as prophets, “What time is it?” It is time for the Bridegroom to come out of the bridal chamber. Brides must wear combat boots (Joel 2:16). We see this literally happening in the war season today.
Future Wars
Future wars will be on a technological level with not only drones but robotic soldiers. War technology is going to seemingly advance with lightning speed.
Matthew 24 for 2024
This is an important and prophetic passage for the season we are in right now. This also speaks to this war season we are in: “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places” (Matt. 24:7 NKJV).
We feel that this is not the time for Armageddon because of the need for the great harvest of souls, especially in the Middle East. However, satan wants to change the times and seasons: “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time” (Dan. 7:25 NKJV).
As our councils meet, we often go into earnest prayer, and there is great authority in our midst to stop the enemy’s plans so he cannot change the times and law. This type of prayer is based on this same passage in the book of Daniel:
“But the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever. Then the Kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole Heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.” (Dan. 7:26-27 NKJV)
There is a timetable that God has for the end times. We agree that we are seconds away, and no man knows the exact time. Satan’s desire is to escalate wars so that the revivals that are happening around the world will be aborted. We do see evidence of the antichrist spirit at work in the current world situations. We know there are other regional conflicts on continents, such as in Africa. The role of the intercessor and watchman is needed more than ever. Prophetically, we need to fill our nations with 24/7 prayer to steward the moves of God and thwart the enemy’s plans: “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places…” (Matt. 24:7 NKJV). We are at the beginning of the end.
Ethnicities will rage against other ethnicities. As we submitted our words before the rise of the current waves of antisemitism, we saw this coming. As far as the Jewish people are concerned, even in the midst of war, there will be many who desire to make Aliyah and return to the land. This is a fulfillment of the prophetic words given in Scripture (Jer. 23:3, among others).
Matthew 24 is a road map for this season, beginning in 2024:
1. Nations are raging 2. Tribulations and violence 3. Betrayals 4. False prophets 5. Lawlessness
Lawlessness will become particularly rampant in the nations and will begin to turn into anarchy if not carefully prayed over by the watchmen. The boundaries of what is considered lawful are going to move. What was perfectly just and what is unjust will seemingly blur in their lines. Even the police will have a hard time enforcing “the law” because of being told that they must not “incite” certain people groups.
Even though the nations are shaking, we are not to be shaken. We are admonished to lean into the promises of God in a deeper way in this challenging season. There are things that God is shaking out of our lives so we can prosper in the new. Even the things that satan is shaking will turn for our good in the long run. We do not say this glibly, as we know that some of our fellow brothers and sisters across the globe are experiencing unspeakable traumas.
Economic Shakings
As we are in the digital age, currencies will one day largely go digital. We are not to fear this, as God will show us what to do in every economic season.
God clearly spoke to us that He is raising up solutionists, especially in terms of the marketplace and economic structures. We know we have the example from Joseph, and the political solutionist Daniel. These types of leaders will rise to the forefront and be seen by many as providers of the “way to go” in investing and running governments. This will be a great witness to unbelievers, pointing them to Christ, and giving them comfort.
Word for the United States
The 2024 election is critical. The nations are watching this coming election to decide their timetable and direction for war. If a war-time president is not elected, fueled by the prayers of war-time intercessors, then our enemies will see us as weak and plan their attacks. 2025 is a potential year for wars to break out on a much larger scale.
Transition from the Church Age to the Kingdom Age
In many cases, we see the Church understanding that we are now in the Kingdom Age, and that our role as the Ecclesia is much broader than was understood in the past 50 years. God is going to raise up “champion” voices to articulate this message, but they will be met with fierce opposition.
Along with the transition is the message that revival must be married with reformation. Previously, we gave the word that in the next season, judgment was going to come to the house of God first. Things that have long been covered over would be revealed. That is exactly what is happening now and will continue to do so. There is a place of mercy for those who have covered their sin [covered by the Blood of Jesus], but it will be swift and severe for those who have not humbled themselves under the hand of Almighty God.
The Church is awakening to the Kingdom message of discipling nations, and that we have great authority. Various nations are on the timetable to determine whether the persecutions, that either are coming or have come, will see the churches having to become an underground church movement or not.
Transitioned from Psalm 23 to Psalm 24
Last year God gave us a focus on Psalm 23 to comfort His people after the pandemic. There are three main uses of prophecy: edification, exhortation, and comfort. While we have used the first two effectually, we are learning more about and releasing the third attribute – comfort – among the prophetic communities. Many, many people taught on Psalm 23 during the year 2023.
Now, we are moving into Psalm 24, as it is a picture of the season that we are in.
Verses 1-2:
• The earth is the Lord’s
Verses 3-4:
• Holiness • Clean hands and a pure heart
Verses 7-10:
• The Lord strong and mighty in battle • Gates (doors) being opened for the King of glory
Admonitions were given to us to be strong in battle, like our heavenly King. Duty calls, and we must purposely decide to enlist and give our lives to prayer and following Christ.
Voices of Revival and Holiness
The United States, as well as other nations such as those on the Isaiah 19:23-25 “Highway of Holiness,” are experiencing revivals on various levels. An admonition was given that we need to see the remnant who are moving in revival to have accountability and make alignments. In the past years, we have highlighted Isaiah 65:8, which says that the new wine is found in the cluster. Find your tribe in the move of God!
We must have deep root systems in the word so not to get into false doctrine. The revivalist leaders must walk in purity and holiness. This fits with the theme in Psalm 24:3-4.
God is cleaning house to make way for His glory to be released so that He can see a people walking in great resurrection power! Miracles are about to be released that are creative in nature. The dead will be raised, new limbs will grow, and more! We must be prepared to steward these revivals and awakenings! There will be revival centers that will host the presence of God on a regular basis and will be drawing places for God to move in limitless ways. Apostolic centers will also be revival centers. (Photo via PickPik)
New “blueprints” from Heaven will show the Church how to make room for the demonstration of the power of God in our services. It is easy to fall into the routine of “doing church” if we do not regularly press in to release God’s supernatural power.
Of course, as we stated earlier, revival and reformation must work together to lead to the transformation of nations. Groups like the Clapham Sect, with William Wilberforce, are being formed. God is raising up leaders who will take the point to form these groups.
The Spirit of Division
We are seeing the spirit of offense working with the spirit of division. Tares will try and be sown during true moves of God. This is why God is shaking us, refining us, and preparing us to watch for those who would sow discord among the brethren. We all need to search our hearts.
The warning came to us about “swirling” that will try and stir up bitter wounds in our hearts; for instance, places of unforgiveness, financial weaknesses, and weaknesses in marriages.
Glory Swirls
While the former is negative, there will also be releases of the glory of God that will pour into our services. The power of God will “swirl” in various parts of meetings with healing power for not only physical healings, but emotional ones as well.
Mama Bears
There is a grassroots movement in the United States of women who see the condition of the nation and are standing for their families. In America, the analogy is that they are “mama bears.” Mama bears are known for their fierceness against anyone who tries to hurt their children. [There will be] large and small gatherings of women who also, like Queen Esther, are called “for such a time as this” to fight against their children being indoctrinated with non-biblical truths and being taken over by the government.
The family mountain (or sphere of society) will become a major focus as God heals and restores relationships (Mal. 4).
Open Doors in 2024
The Lord spoke to us a theme of “Come Up Higher” in 2024. This word pertains to two prophetic understandings: 1) Psalm 24:7-10, as stated already. Gates will be opened or lifted! 2) The understanding of the Hebrew meaning for the year 5784. The number four in Hebrew is symbolic of the door.
These are important concepts to understand, because this is a season where God is calling us to build; we could say to build the Kingdom. To do so, there are doors of opportunity we must recognize and go through.
Just as God wants to open doors, satan wants to shut them in our faces! However, we also note that there are doors that are shut by demonic opposition, and others that are shut because God is resisting us, or even trying to protect us from going the wrong way. Great discernment is ours to know the difference! New authority is being released to stop satan from interfering in our advancement.
Doors of influence, doors of opportunities, and doors to obtain wisdom are being opened to us. There is warfare at the gates. It might be said that the serpent is by your gate. Do not be deterred from obtaining your new opportunities because there is warfare surrounding them.
It is time for you to flourish in this new season. Flourish means to grow, prosper, thrive, increase, and multiply. Do not be content with merely surviving. God wants you to flourish! If you are not flourishing, examine your root system! Are there generational strongholds? Roots of bitterness? Rejection? Don’t bring the old into the new because it will defile your new season. New levels of revelation will open to us.
Revelation 4:1: Come Up Higher
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in Heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, ‘Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.'” (Rev. 4:1 NASB)
God will release everything you need to fulfill your highest potential.
Shalom.
Catharina.
