Kim and I want to thank all of our Pastors, partners and friends who have stood with us on this incredible journey to expand Life Church to an international organization. 2012 will bring a wave of God that can not be missed, can not be contained, can not be controlled! This wave will move our Life Church family from expression to experience! From expressing our hearts for God in our worship, our preaching and in our daily lives to a tangible experience of the manifest presence of God. This is not just another hype or some declarations made that produces no tangible change, this wave will rearrange your spiritual landscape which will reshape your natural world. It will consume, overpower, push back and bury anything that has resisted you in the past. Like the flood of Noahs day it will altar the course of your history, it will establish those who have entered in and it will move you into a new season. This all consuming flood of Gods presence will lift you up to another level. It will carry you to where God wants you to go and it will place you in the center of the destiny God has prepared for us all. In 2012 we want to encourage you all to be Living, Loving and Learning the Word of God! John 1:1 says the Word was God. When we are in the Word we are in God! The Word is not about God it is God! It has the power of a King, the force of nature and the ability to bring order out of chaos. When you are Living in the Word, the presence of God cuts off every strategy of the devil. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. The Word will give you the ability to stand, to enjoy and to Love your life and your ministry. A new wave of love for the ministry, for the house of God and for the people of God is on it’s way! We sing…”The cry of my heart is to bring Him praise from the inside out Lord my heart cries out!” In the past we have been crying out for Him to come, but in this season we will cry out because He is already here! During this time the wave of God will expand our borders, enlarge our lives and start to move us into a season of multiplication. Things are about to speed up, so make yourselves ready, grab ahold of your spiritual surf board and start paddling forward to pick up speed. Like surfing, our efforts don’t create the wave they only build momentum so we can catch it! Your faithfulness has brought us this far and it has positioned us for an encounter with destiny. Destiny that has been abstract is about to be defined. It will define us as an organization, it will form our international identity and it will push us forward through things that seemed impossible in the past. In this season: Make your needs known. Be specific about what you want God to do as the Word says you will have abundance for every good work. What do you want to see? What will this season look like for you? When faced with opposition speak what you believe not what you fear! Move from sowing to sowing and reaping! It is time… Declare a thing and it shall be established for God you! Above all else be Living, Loving and Learning the Word of God. Catch the wave! Pastors Gary and Kim
