Three Strategies in Uncertain Times
The new year is well underway, and the best news, as always, is that the Lord is with us and we get to walk with Him. COVID-19 is still hanging around and there are lots of uncertainties about many things. However, there are three important things to remember during times of uncertainty:
1. Do warfare with your prophecy. It’s so easy to be distracted by news or events that seem to be the opposite of what the Lord told us to believe for. Don’t waver. We must keep believing. Don’t waste time or energy trying to figure out how God will do it. Leave that entirely with Him. One way to make believing easier is to verbalize and declare what God said. This is how we do warfare with our prophecies. Paul said, “This charge I commit to you … according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare” (1 Tim. 1:18).
2. Stay in joy! Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulations. But be of good cheer! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Do not allow yourself to worry, and do not get heavy. Let each day be filled with joy and laughter.
3. Remember you are anointed and can walk in the power of God. Last week I began to receive testimonies of miracles and healings people had received because I/we had prayed or prophesied such. Yes, I was blessed by each testimony, but I felt there was a greater message for me and for all of us.
First, I felt the Lord was showing us that we have come through a long process of training and preparation. It is similar to what was said about Jesus when He came out of the wilderness “in the power of the Spirit” (Luke 4:14). Second, Jesus went on to declare that God had anointed Him (see Luke. 4:18–19) and thus began His powerful ministry of healing the sick and driving out demons.
That is exactly what the Lord wants us to know. He has anointed us. Let’s use the anointing. Pray for the sick. Set people free. Expect miracles wherever we go. Distraction will cause us to bunker down and be defensive instead of living each day with joyful expectancy.
Be blessed! Thanks so much for praying!

Shevat—A Time to Amplify Your Shout
The Eleventh Month of Hebrew Year 5781 (Jan. 14–Feb. 12, 2021)
This whole decade is about “the mouth,” and this month focuses on what we say. We don’t only want to say “God is good,” but need to forcefully declare it. The forceful declaration blesses us and can heal us. It also is an announcement to the forces of darkness and they have to back off. More information may be found here.

不確かな時代に対する３つの戦略
新年が始まりました。そして一番いいニュースは、主は私たちと共におられ、主と共に歩めることです。コロナ禍がまだ続く中、様々なことについて未だ不明確なところがあります。しかし、不明確な時代だからこそ覚えておく３つの重要なポイントがあります。
１）与えられた預言のために戦いなさい：主の教えや信仰に反するニュースやイベントに気が取られるのは簡単です。しかし、揺さぶられてはいけません。信じ続けなさい。神がどうその約束や預言を成すかについては考えなくても大丈夫です。それを完全に神に委ねてください。信じやすくするために、神が預言されたことを声に出して宣言してください。こうして、与えられた預言のために戦うことが出来ます。パウロが言いました。「・・・私はあなたにこの命令をゆだねます。それは、あなたがあの預言によって、信仰と正しい良心を保ち、勇敢に戦い抜くためです。（第一テモテ１章１８節）。」
２）喜びの中に留まりなさい！：イエスが言いました。「・・・あなたがたは、世にあっては患難があります。しかし、勇敢でありなさい。わたしはすでに世に勝ったのです（ヨハネの福音書１６章３３節）。」重荷を抱えたり、心配しないようにしてください。日々、喜びと笑いで過ごしてください。
３）あなたは油注がれていて、神の力で歩めることを覚えてください：先週から私（私たち）が預言や祈った人から奇跡といやしの証しを多く聞きました。もちろん、私は全ての証しを聞いて恵まれましたが、しかし、これを通して神は私たちに更に重要なメッセージを与えようとしていると思います。
最初に長い過程のトレーニングと準備を通ってきたことを、主は私たちに見せようとしていると思います。イエスが荒野を出た後のメッセージと同じだと思います。「イエスは御霊の力を帯びてガリラヤに帰られた（ルカ４章１４節）。」そして、イエスは神に油注がれたことを宣言しました（ルカ４章１８～１９節）。それから、病人を癒す、悪霊を追い出す力強いミニストリーを開始しました。
これこそ主が私たちに伝えたいメッセージです。神は私たちを油注ぎました。その油注ぎを運用しましょう。病人の為に祈ってください。人々を解放してください。出てゆくところで奇跡が起こることを期待してください。妨げようとするものは、私たちの防御を引き上げ、逃げさせようとします。しかし、私たちは毎日に期待を持って喜んで生きるべきです。
祝福がありますように！お祈りを感謝します。
