February, 2022
Dear Freedom House Family,
The Father is equipping and preparing each of us for “A New View for YOU in 2022.” What does that really mean? The act of seeing or examining, inspecting, surveying, prospecting the near future, lookout, outlook, panorama, and perspective. Much too often we are looking through our own lenses, and we get blinded with blurry vision that can lead to misinterpretation.
This year the Father is inviting us to look through His lenses and to see what He sees. My friends, this year will be a NEW VIEW for YOU . . . IF you look through His lenses.
The Father said this is the year and season for the Zechariahs to arise and shine, for the shakings that will LEAD to awakenings. This is the Hebraic Year of 5782 which means “awaken.” Awaken into the new view. Awaken into His promises of revival, reformation, and reorganization. This is also the year for the hidden things to be made manifest, the secret things to be exposed, the “real” agenda to be revealed and the move from visitation to habitation. It’s having a new view, a new outlook for our new year—peering into what the Father sees in the supernatural down the way and not just seeing what is happening in the natural.
Who Was Zechariah?
Zechariah was a young man, a priest, and a prophet who emphasized great encouragement, hope, and reassurance to God’s people, the Israelites. The times that Zechariah was living in were very similar to our times right now! God’s people were living in a place of fear and hopelessness, and in a sense of being forgotten and neglected by God’s promises. Like the days of Zechariah, God’s people found themselves in a world of division, confusion, and devastation all around and where sin was so blatant, corruption so visible, and hatred so noticeable.
Henceforth, Zechariah comes with a great and wonderful message of hope, of encouragement, and of reminders of God’s promises. He also urges and exhorts a call to repentance and states very clearly what God spoke for his people to do . . . “Return to me, and I will return to you.”
Beloved, I believe this is what God is calling each one of us to do in this year, in this season and in this hour—return to Him, return to His ways, return to His precepts. For God’s ways are right and radiant, giving light to the eyes of our understanding and for right living so that we can see A New View for You in 2022.
Zechariah and the Promises of God
- Return to me, declares the Lord Almighty and I will return to you. (1:3) – God is wooing us all to return back to Him and to be a light to the lost world all around us. To be a people who can see from His perspective, from His watch tower and not to live in a place of fear and hopelessness, to separate ourselves unto God to be a holy people.
- I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. (1:16) – God’s promise to restore us with great mercy and to rebuild the ruins within us and all around us. His Presence will be manifested.
- I myself will be a wall of fire around it – and I will be its glory within. (2:5) – His great protection will be a wall of fire – Yahweh Himself would provide security and His protection as well as His Presence. The wall of fire will be released as His Shekinah Glory of the Lord.
- Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye. (2:8) – To know we are the “main” focus of God’s attention, the center of His universe for His love protects us, and to know we are in His watchful care.
- Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you. Be still before the Lord, all mankind because he has roused himself from his holy Dwelling. (2:10-13) – Let’s begin to sing and rejoice because God is good and He will show His goodness along with His redemption, His restoration of His people. We have been in captivity long enough. Now is the time to shout to give Him glory. For He comes to release execution and judge your adversaries in order to complete His deliverance and salvation.
- Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit. (4:6) – The providence, authority, power, and energy of the Most High will be our true source. No secular army, no human policy, and no government will get us out of trouble or hardship. Our true source of guidance, our wisdom, and our assurance will only be by His Sovereign Spirit.
- I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain. (8:3) – God’s people will be transformed by the Presence of our Lord. His Jerusalem and His people will be transformed into a place of truth and holiness. His Presence will be so real that reformation will happen and take hold.
This is the Word of the Lord for 2022
A New View for You in 2022 means you will be looking at things from My perspective, My advantage point. For I will arise, I will conquer, and I will defeat! For My name will be heard throughout the land. My name will be like hot coals upon their lips. So, keep in prayer, and keep watch. For I will suddenly arise in lightning speed. For it only takes a second to change everything. For I go by My standards, My timetable. Mostly, I go by what I see down the road because I know the end from the beginning.
Rest assured and rest in My promise: I have your back and have your best interest in My heart. This year will be, “A New View for You in 2022” for I will walk with you every step of the way, and you will abide and dwell in the shelter of My heart. I will release wings of safety and you will take flight in and of My Spirit to witness, to attest, and to certify that this year will be, “A New View for You” as you observe from My outlook center.
You will enter into and step into a new level of My Spirt and Glory for it will be, A New View for You: new waves of My Heavenly sounds. Sounds of Heaven will be heard far and wide, and many will be led by My Sounds of truth, love, and freedom.
This year will be a year of victory in Me and will look differently than victory in the world. Be at rest in Me and continue to do your best, and I will absolutely do the rest. Stay in My Presence of TRUST and do not let go of TRUST. Don’t allow TRUST to slip away, no matter what you hear or what you see.
Trust, believe, and stand to know I AM—the Great I AM. The Great I AM is releasing upon My people, upon My Church, and upon My nation for My Name’s Sake, which is—the Light of the World, the Bread of Life, The Good Shepherd, the Captain of Salvation, the Lord of Armies, The Great Deliver, and the Mighty and Just God.
Arise up all Zechariah’s and release My encouragement, My hope, and My Promises for I will rebuild, I will restore, and I will release My people back to a place of hope, life, and freedom. There is revival in the air—breathe, believe, and see it for the sounds of My love flow from My house to your house. For this year will be a new year that will set in new ways. For your tents will be enlarged, your spheres of influence will be greater, and your ladders will go higher to touch My Presence.
You will have easier access to My Spirit. Your ears will be sharpened to hear the piercing sound of My Spirit to walk in this new way, ways that point you to greater hope and greater triumph. I will ROCK YOUR WORLD with showers of meteorites of love and shooting stars will rest upon you from My kingdom, for they will be My fireballs of love. Bright, bold, and beautiful will be these fireballs of love resting upon you to light up your ways and to give you newer and deeper ways of My truth and revelation.
For your ears, eyes, and mouth will hear, see, and speak new words of My Spirit. Lost artifacts will be released into your vision; things that seemed so buried and forgotten will be discovered and uncovered. I am calling for great unity within My family, unity and harmony with husbands and wives to both be in step with Me, like riding a tandem bike, for speed and motion will all be in sync. For I am calling the children, siblings, and neighbors and co-workers to walk in unity, harmony, and in one accord to love, honor, and respect one another. This is the time to usher in great unity—to be in agreement with one another because Jesus Christ, My Son, is your common denominator. Do not squabble and bicker over things that will cause division and dissension. Stay in My Presence of love for My love is large and incredibly patient. Remember My love will never traffic in shame and dishonor for My love is a safe place of shelter. So, shelter in Me, My people, for My love is perfect.
God’s love is meteoric, His loyalty astronomic, His purposes titanic, his verdicts oceanic. Yet in His largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks.
Psalm 36:5-6 (The Message)
Pray With Me,
Father, I desire to rise up and be counted among the Zechariahs at this time and season of my life, my family’s life, and for the times of our nation. Help me, Lord, to release Your words, as I hear and see Your heart. Help me, Lord, to stand in the gap for our families, for our churches, and for our nation. Lord, give me the gift of encouragement, Your gift of hope, and the sweet gift of trust. Sweeten my words to those who are discouraged, disheartened, and dismayed and release those prophetic messages of Your promises here and now. Father, forgive me in any way that I have turned my back on You. I want to return to You completely and entirely in all ways so that You can return to me in this hour, and we can see Your ”fireballs” of love bombing our lives and nation.
In Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen!
