“I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you” (Gen. 17:6).
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men’” (Mark 1:17).
The Year YOU Become a Harvester
Prophetic Revelation for 2025
The last update (Dec. 24), I gave you our personal recap for 2024. It’s only fitting to now write about what I feel prophetically the Lord is emphasizing for all of us in the new year. The following ten points come from what the Lord has been showing me recently, as well as from recent prophetic words spoken over me.
1. Exceeding fruitfulness (Gen. 17:6)—At the beginning of the Hebrew year 5785 this past October, the Lord strongly emphasized that just as He put His breath on Abram—changing his name to Abraham, He likewise wants us to continually remember His breath—the Holy Spirit—is on us to make us exceedingly fruitful.
2. Family being touched by God—Expect and believe for your family members to be touched by God, and even for unsaved members to be saved. God’s breath on Abraham and Sarah resulted in Isaac’s birth and the family God wanted for them. Pray for and expect your family members (both immediate and extended) to be touched by God and birthed into His purposes.
3. Intimacy with God—It’s always God’s heart to be close to us. He is actually jealous over us (see James 4:5), but all too often our own soulish desires pull us away. What to do? Rely on His grace to keep us close to Him. James 4:5–6 states, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously … But He gives more grace.”
4. More praying—If He hasn’t done so already, expect the Holy Spirit to draw you to commit to more praying. But be flexible and don’t lock yourself into some rigid idea of what prayer is. Let Him lead you, but commit to it. Also, now is the time to learn how to and actually “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17).
5. Fulfilment of prior prophetic words—God’s prophetic promise quickly began to be fulfilled once God put His breath on Abraham and Sarah (see Gen. 17–18). In the past few days, two different prophets from entirely different continents spoke the same thing over me: “Expect prior prophetic words to be fulfilled now.” I believe this same promise applies to most of us, because God is accelerating so many things.
6. Understand and be in covenant—Wherever and with whomever God has connected you, you need to see yourself as in covenant with them. You cannot be an idle or passive observer; nor can you be one who only focuses on receiving some blessing for yourself. I ask all our online apostolic center followers/listeners to covenant (informally) with us. That means they are believing and standing in faith with us during the broadcast, and even pray throughout the week for it or for our other meetings, as prompted by the Holy Spirit. It was by entering into covenant with the Levites that Jehoida was easily able to overthrow Athaliah and restore the crown to the rightful king, the boy Joash (see 2 Kings 11). Through covenant we will see massive increase in spiritual authority and effectiveness in apostolic centers, as well as in overthrowing of demonic structures that oppose God’s kingdom.
7. Revival among the youth—Around the world, it seems Generation Z (those born between 1997–2012), who are also referred to as “neo-digitals” (prefer video/visuals to text for communication) in Japan, have a great openness to the Lord. Let’s keep that group in prayer. They may well be the main carriers in new revivals around the world.
8. God will use women mightily—God has spoken of this from long ago. Psalm 68:11 (AMPC) states, “The Lord gives the word [of power]; the women who bear and publish [the news] are a great host.” Yes, of course God will continue to use men. But as we enter this billion (or multi-billion)-soul harvest, women will play a very large and key role.
9. Ease—I think 2025 will be a very exciting year, but at the same time, also a year of ease. God doesn’t want striving and straining from us. His grace will carry us. Jesus said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30). Expect Him to lead. Believe what He whispers to you and watch Him open the doors.
10. The year YOU become a harvester—Most of you who read this are faithful servants of the Lord. You have prayed much for the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest (see Luke 10:2). You have longed for the Lord to use you. He will. Now. This year.
Please Consider Becoming an Apostolic Fund Supporter (AFS)
One thing I know is that the Lord is bringing a lot of changes, and lots of new and unexpected doors are opening. Thus, I ask you to consider becoming a supporter, because I feel we will need them more than ever as we head into 2025. We feel your giving is like a covenant with us. We pray for and minister to each AFS regularly. (We will ask you for a recent photo to help us/me as we pray for you.)
Apostolic Fund Supporters pledge the equivalent of $1200 for the year. This is the backbone of our financial support. We use these funds in some of the following ways:
1. Ministering in poorer nations—they are often unable to cover expenses and we do that for them.
2. Writing and publishing books and materials. In some of the languages we publish in, sales don’t even cover the cost of printing. We publish materials in languages including English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Sri Lankan. We give away a fair amount of content.
3. Paying our staff that does admin, and the work connected to webcasts and online posting.

Thanks for your praying,

Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Tevet
Tevet 5785—The Tenth Hebrew Month, January 1–29, 2025
Moving into Maturity
Scriptures are full of people who had great potential, but who came up short, often because of immaturity. Cain couldn’t control his anger. Esau gave into hunger. Reuben and Samson gave in to sexual sins. The list is long. God doesn’t want us to be tripped up; rather He wants us to mature and fulfill the potential He made us for. Let’s be sure to take steps to maturity.
Also, the letter of the month is ayin (ע) which means “eye” or “to see.” The more we recognize (see) that God is in everything, in all our circumstances, the more we will move into maturity. Conversely, an immature person quickly forgets/doesn’t see God, and makes immature choices.
