The Third Year Promise

THE THIRD YEAR PROMISE ….

THREE is an enigmatic number in the Bible. It is the chosen number of days that Jesus was ‘dead’. THREE days warning to cross over the Jordan and into the promises and THREE is the very significant number of persons in the Trinity. THREE things remain, Faith, Hope and Love, THREE temptations in the wilderness, THREE times Peter denies and THREE times Jesus inquired of Peter’s love. THREE disciples close to Jesus in His earthly ministry and THREE crosses on Golgotha and over 300 other sets of THREE.

In 2008, at the birth of our first ever 10000 campaign, I heard the Holy Spirit say that in the THIRD year there would be a shift, an enemy fleeing and the people of God celebrating. So now is not the time to give up but press on to take a hold of that for which Christ took hold of you. The promise? More sowing, more salvations, more ministry ventures, more harvest, more miracles and more blessing.

The THIRD YEAR PROMISE came to me from Isaiah 37 starting at 21.

"This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you prayed … the Lord has spoken this word against your enemy:

"The virgin daughter of Zion despises you and laughs at you.
The daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head in derision as you flee…

… 30 "Here is the proof that what I say is true: "This year you will eat only what grows up by itself, and next year you will eat what springs up from that.
But in the third year you will plant crops and harvest them; you will tend vineyards and eat their fruit. And you who are left in Judah, who have escaped the ravages of the siege,
will put roots down in your own soil and grow up and flourish. For a remnant of my people will spread out from Jerusalem, a group of survivors from Mount Zion. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven's Armies will make this happen!

We are currently in the THIRD year since God announced this promise to us. At the 10W camp we have stepped into this moment with confidence and joy. It is your time to receive the promise. Have there been challenges? Yes, will there be trouble in the future? Yes. Faith & Courage have enemies, but without Faith it is impossible to please Him.
I implore you to leap into this promise with your eyes wide shut to the circumstances and if you listen carefully you will hear the sound of Victory. Shut out the sound of the cautious and abandon the status quo and find yourself enjoying the promise and Hope in a brand new day – everyday! 10000 has no goals separate to the Heavenly Vision that pulsates in the hearts of the Warrior, that simply cries, ‘Your Kingdom Come’ You are the Warrior.

But you must hear this, I woke up just this Monday past and heard the still small voice of the Holy Spirit say, “Open your Bible”. I touched the Bible app on my iPhone and it opened to a scripture that I had been thinking about the day before but had not looked at. Here it is. “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love”. 1 Cor 16 v 13

Strap on this sword, it is the Word of the Lord for those who will pray in the remaining 30 days of this campaign, (campaign; Oxford; series of military operations with one objective). And as we pray we give birth to this season of Peace, Prosperity and the Power of God that has been advancing since the Cross and which alone, can transforms nations.

Revival is inevitable to a praying Church
