A Season of Stepping into Governing Authority
We just celebrated Rosh Hashanah, or “Head of the Year,” which is one of the four Jewish New Years. This is when the Jewish civil calendar begins, and governmental rulings of kings are measured as complete.
This has SO much spiritual significance right now! Governmental shifts and completions of previous seasons are upon us in the Body of Christ. Many are about to step into their governmental roles, and the Ekklesia is rising in their governing authority. Many in the Body are coming into the fullness of understanding their identity of righteousness in Christ Jesus; they are stepping into their God-given authority in Christ Jesus, learning to rule in Jesus’ name!
The Key to Restoration, Renewal of Youth and Covenant Provision
One of the things I’ve continually been seeing in my dreams and feeling in my spirit is the renewal and restoration of our youth, as well as covenant provision. Psalm 103:5 states: “He satisfies our mouth with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (emphasis mine).
I have been speaking and declaring this Scripture for years! God has shown me that those who believe and confess such truths of His Word like this – HE WILL RESTORE AND RENEW THEM, leading them into an incredibly preserved life of youthfulness! What we confess with our mouths is important – good or bad, they will be established.
So be encouraged if you have been praying for restoration, renewal and youthfulness. I truly believe it is coming upon you, especially if you have given yourself to the teachings of the Lord faithfully and declaring them out loud! (Photo via Pikrepo)
The Process of Bearing Witness to What Has Been Established by God
Now moving on to what I’ve been feeling over this new year 5783… I have some encouragement, but also a word of caution and wisdom.
I have been seeing the numbers “1212” all year long, which biblically signifies God’s perfect government or authority. To me, it also symbolizes perfect governing authority with a witness to it, because there are two 12s, meaning it is doubled! A ‘doubling’ is like an extra helping, or like putting a seal of approval on something. Two – two of anything – speaks of a ‘witness’ to something, a helper (person of the Holy Spirit), a union of two single things or a multiplication.
I want to encourage and caution you with the following word of wisdom as you move into this new time of great outpouring, spiritual activity and authority, with an extra helping of the Holy Spirit! Be armed with the truth of God’s Word and be wise to judge and weigh properly in these times. God’s Word and the Holy Spirit have the final say!
The Lord’s word, written or spoken (even rhema words released from His heavenly books), has ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED. It was already established before the foundation of the world and only needs a single voice or vessel to release it into existence – to decree it to be made manifest on Earth as it is in Heaven. When His word is released by a child or prophet of God, He is looking in the earth for our agreement to give it life; but guess what? So is satan!
This is why we must be so careful of what we hear, give voice to and agree with. Our agreement brings approval of the source, giving ‘credibility’ to its name in the name of Jesus. We must be so careful what we agree with and approve. Our job as children of the Spirit of God and His prophets is to judge and weigh it.
Let us TEST and WEIGH every word and dream that comes forth by our inner Witness (the Holy Spirit) AND, most of all, by the Word of God! Let it bear witness and be supported by the Word; then let us follow the inner Witness.
Do Not Fear! God Has Good, Peaceful and Prosperous Plans for You in 5783
As we crossed into 5783, I felt an incredible renewal and excitement in my spirit and in the atmosphere around me as I began to anticipate the Ten Days of Awe (which started on Rosh Hashanah and end on Yom Kippur)! While the world and other voices have been dishing out doom, gloom, recession, lack, inflation and hardship (the enemy’s plans), God has been giving me and my family a complete OPPOSITE witness, perspective and instructions.
I am seeing incredible increase and blessings for those in true covenant with our God! I hear in my spirit, “…I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor His children begging for bread” (Psalm 37:25).
He continues to speak the following Scriptures to me. The Word of God says that those who fear and seek the Lord lack no good thing (see Psalm 34:9-10); every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no shadow of turning or shifting (see James 1:17); and “…my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

Are you seeing a pattern?
So DO NOT FEAR! God has good, peaceful and prosperous plans for you in 5783, and as we finish 2022 and move into 2023 (see Jeremiah 29:11). Our King Jesus is on the throne, the Church of Jesus Christ is on the rise and HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL.
An Extra Helping of the Holy Spirit and a Declaration for the New Year
As we have entered into the year 5783, I feel great excitement for what the Lord is going to do in us, individually and corporately. I keep hearing, “An extra helping of the Holy Spirit.” Simply meaning that we are going to see the manifested power and strength of His Spirit poured out. Oh what grace and power, by His Spirit, is now available for us to run with and not grow weary, IF we will allow Him to do it.
I leave you with this:
“So he answered and said to me: ‘This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the LORD of hosts. “Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!'”‘” (Zechariah 4:6-7)
I declare GRACE, GRACE TO YOUR 5783/2O23! As you go in faith and authority, those mountains that stood in your way will fall.
I PROPHESY RESTORATION, RENEWAL OF YOUTH AND COVENANTAL PROVISION, IN JESUS’ NAME!
“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” (Job 22:28)
This is your inheritance in Him! Amen. Praise the name of our LORD YAHWEH!
