Reignfall Letter

My brothers and sisters, teammates and companions, friends and fellow pilgrims on our adventurous journey to Zion City! I praise the Lord for your life, and our mission team is praying for you, that you will be filled to overflowing with the power and spiritual blessings of Jesus’ Holy Spirit. Let Jesus’ kingdom come and will be done through you.

Let us remember today in the context of adoption and sonship, that through Jesus Christ we have already been given every spiritual blessing in Christ flowing from God’s heavenly realms. (Ephesians 1:3-4) Our God is the Ancient of Days whose universal authority is established, his divine power has overcome the god of this age, and his victory in the worship wars of the nations has already been prophesied! (Daniel 7:13-14)

So let the reign of Jesus fall upon our generation. Thank you Father for giving every one of your sons and daughters the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16) Thank you for delivering slaves out of unseen prisons into favored seats at the Lamb’s wedding feast. (Galatians 4:5-7) Thank you Immanuel for never leaving or forsaking us, that nothing and no one can ever separate us from your presence or love after we decide to follow Jesus. (Psalm 139:1-12) We rest in you, and we pray for all peoples to receive Jesus’ salvation.

Glory Transformation > While Jesus was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard the voice, they were so terrified that they threw themselves face downward on the ground. Jesus came to them and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid!” (Matthew 17:5-7 GNT)

Holy Vision > Stephen, filled by the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw God’s glory, with Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Then the people screamed at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him [to stone him to death]. (Acts 7:55-57 HCSB)

True Faith > “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.” (Revelation 19:11-13 NIV)

Prayer > Father, thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to help us perceive Jesus’ powerful reignfall in our lives every day. Maranatha!

Greater Glory Letter

Take heart, my friends, because I have overcome this world, and remember that I am with you day and night even to the end of this age. I will never leave you, I will never forsake you, and nothing can ever separate you from my love. My salvation work is finished, and this good news of eternal freedom is spreading all over the world even now. I know how to equip you with everything you need for knowing my sovereign will and fulfilling your destiny.

I am God of all the earth. The stars shine because I give them light. The sun rises because I call it forth. The oceans move because I stir them up. The rains fall because I open up the heavens. The soil brings forth fruit because I bless the earth I created. I am your Good Shepherd. I know what is best for my flock, and I see beyond what my sheep need today to the future journey of their entire lives, and the waves of generations beyond until the end.

Seek my greater glory, my beloved children. As you go, set apart time to listen. My Spirit of Truth is always speaking, revealing what is on my heart, guiding and counseling you in the paths I have prepared and set before you. Let striving cease, replaced with patient endurance, courageous faith, and a fountain of joy bursting forth from deep wells drawn from pure springs of living water. Believe me, walk daily in my Holy Spirit, and live abundantly forever.

+ Winter Blessings For Your Family +

Heaven’s Warrior > He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soars on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his canopy around him – the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. (2 Samuel 22:10-14)

Gentle Whisper > The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19:11-13)

Spiritual Wisdom > But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. (1 Corinthians 2:10-12)

Prayer +> Heavenly Father thank you for the gift of this year, for all you have taught us, and for all we have learned. We celebrate your perfect love and faithfulness, and we surrender our lives for your greater glory in the new year in Jesus’ name we pray, amen. So be it.
