Why You Should Listen

Just several weeks ago the Lord challenged me to revisit the word He gave me for 2010 as I was listening for the word of the Lord for 2011. 

2010 is an interesting number sequence. Only 2, Caleb and Joshua had increased enough to take possession of the land by giving a good report. The other 10 gave an evil report that caused an entire generation to miss their blessing. And 0 is what they had in common, but they were all Israelites.

Evil reports have been abounding. What are we saying? Remember, it affects everyone listening and God holds us responsible. Evil reports, if we let them into our spirit, will block our ability to increase. Talking about the giants was not the evil report; not believing that God could give them the victory was. Over a million people rejoiced and danced as the dry ground which they walked over in the Red Sea buried the enemy. Yet only two increased enough to enter into the Promised Land.

The Lord spoke to me at the turn of the year: "You must increase to participate in what I have for you in this coming season." The Lord had my full attention. Those words echoed through my spirit and mind. "You must increase."

What He had prepared for me was my destiny. It was reserved for me. It was my time. It is greater than anything I have done to this time. Yet I was not ready to participate in it according to His word.
