2018 The Season of Miracles

“We’re in a season of miracles.” The words spilled out of my mouth to my sister Kim as we shared concerns about family members as the holiday season approached.

“I realize that Christmas is referred to in this way, but it is coming into my spirit that we have entered a season of miracles and that we will soon see them come to pass in our families,” I continued.

That was before Christmas, but then I found myself saying this again to a home fellowship group this past Sunday. Then lo and behold I started hearing it from other sources.

Paul Begley shared in his January 4^th Prophecy Alert: "18 Things To Watch For In 2018" that 2018 is to be a YEAR OF MIRACLES for the remnant church (those who truly love and live for Jesus Christ). He added that it is a time of EXTREME FAVOR towards the remnant church in the way of finances, divine healings, and loved ones coming to the Lord.

Now I have heard “the year of favor” prophesied before and did not see the manifestation of it but I AM EXPECTING TO SEE IT THIS TIME!

House Churches

Much of the remnant church is meeting in homes; and in countries such as Iran where Christianity is forbidden, they meet in secret. Millions—yes MILLIONS—of Muslims are making Christ their Lord. Tens of thousands are coming to Christ in Africa and millions in India! J. D. Farag in his Mid-East Prophecy Update – January 7th, 2018 reported that it is estimated across the globe followers of Jesus are increasing by more than 80,000 per day!!

Not all house churches move in the liberty of the Spirit of Christ, but most of them formed for just that reason—to freely worship, pray, and minister by the Holy Spirit and not be confined by man-made religious programs and controlling leaders.

If you do not understand what that is like, my sister shared with me an excellent video that explains what it means to walk by the Spirit by Chris Blackeby called Living from Heaven. I have never heard this young man speak before, but I highly recommend this particular teaching he did.

My favorite quote from him is: “Jesus hasn’t come to make you a better person—He’s come to replace you.”

Wow! That’s walking by the Spirit in a nutshell—to be so likeminded with the Spirit of Christ within you that it is as though He has replaced you.

One of the first times my husband Tom and I experienced being ‘replaced’ by Christ was when we were asked to minister to a couple in their home. Before leaving, we held each other’s hand to pray and immediately the Spirit of the Lord gave me a vision of a great fire. I shared the vision with Tom and said, “Our God is a consuming fire! He has gone before us to make way for His work.”

This was the encouragement we needed for we had been told some fearful things about the husband. Their little house was at the foot of a small mountain. When the door was opened, it was very dark inside but with my spiritual eyes I could see little imp-like demons scattering all over the place.

“Oh no! HE’S here!” they screamed, but only I heard them. That was when I realized the spiritual realm does not see us in our flesh when we come in the name and power of Y’shua Ha Moshiach, our Jesus—they see HIM!

This is our goal as disciples of Jesus Christ. This is how our God will go before us so that we will see this SEASON OF MIRACLES!

Oh, before I go I just remembered something. It was wintertime when Tom and I went to that little house. Because of our obedience to go (we were actually quite afraid to go), we saw remarkable deliverance and healing by our wonderful God AND the couple came to salvation. As we drove back home, I turned to look back at the little house now in the distance and it was snowing. Nowhere else was the snow falling—it was gracefully enveloping only the little house as though it were in its own glorious snow globe!

    

Caveat: I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.
