The last two Words for the Week for 2025 are words for 2026. After the new year, these will return to the study of the books of Daniel and Revelation.

 

       Do not despair at the low spiritual state of the body of Christ as we begin this new year. This is the condition we find God’s people in virtually every time in Scripture and in history before a great move of God breaks out, and this is the case now. We may be in the driest of times, but a great spark is going to ignite them, and a great fire will sweep forth, consuming the “wood, hay, and stubble” and purifying the “gold, silver, and precious stones.”

       What is about to ignite on the earth is not just a great move of God but the greatest move of God there has ever been. This is the beginning of the harvest that Jesus said would be the end of this age. More people will come to the Lord in the next few years than in all of history before this time. More of the glory of the Lord and His miraculous works will be seen in these times than in all of previous history.

       It is one of the greatest honors just to live in this time, and while we appreciate this, we have much work to do. It is a glorious work, and it will be the marvel of the ages. To be yoked with the Lord in His work is the most wonderful thing we can experience, but we are not just called to do but also to become like Him.

       We cannot measure the times we’re entering by what we have experienced in the past. Jesus said in John 16:33, “In the world you have tribulation,” and He told us we would at the end of this age experience the worst that the world has ever known. But if we stay close to Him, we will hardly notice them.

       Do not waste another day not drawing closer to Him. This year, a grace that has not been experienced before will be given to those who seek Him. How much do we desire to know Him? That is what we will have. He has saved the best for last, and we are about to see and experience the best. The best of all will be His nearness to His people.

       The Lord has had His people praying for nearly two thousand years for His kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are here now to help prepare the way for the Lord and His kingdom. To do this, we must live in His kingdom—His domain—now.

       The world is about to see demonstrated what it is like to live in His kingdom, and it is going to be more wonderful than we can imagine—literally. The supernatural power that His people will see will eclipse even the wildest imaginations of the wildest movies, but even those will be eclipsed by the wonderful nearness of the Lord to His people.

       The key to seeing His greater works is to get closer to Him. When His works are done by His people, it is Him doing His works through them. The answer to every question we have is Him. It’s not just that He has the answers, but He is the Answer. Just as all of the promises of God are in Him (see 2 Corinthians 1:19), so are all of the provisions of God. Don’t just seek the provisions, but seek the Provider.

       The Lord is sending a great grace to help those who seek Him keep their attention on Him. This is so they receive everything He paid the price for us to have at the cross. This grace is His manifest presence, which is the most wonderful, fulfilling, and empowering thing we can experience on this earth. The Lord is about to become closer to His people than He has ever been.

       This grace of His manifest presence is His grace abounding where sin abounds. Sin and darkness will be abounding, but this will only make His light shine brighter. You were made for this. If you are here now, you were made to carry this light.
