January Pastor's Blog

Dear Family of God,

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

While waiting on the Lord, I heard in my spirit, “The Lord will remove the leaven so that we experience more of Heaven in 2011.”

Family, I am so excited about the New Year and the opportunities the Lord will present to each of us!

Eleven is a significant number in God’s scheme of things: 
-    Joseph was the eleventh son of Jacob and he was the one who judged the other eleven sons.
-    False religion was destroyed in the eleventh year of King Zedekiah when Israel was carried away to Babylon.
-    Eleven curtains covering the ark in the tabernacle.
-    Moses spoke to Israel to leave the wilderness journey in the eleventh month of the fortieth year.
-    Delilah was given eleven hundred pieces of silver to destroy Samson.
-    Eleven disciples were faithful to Jesus.
-    Jesus showed us that the eleventh hour laborer in the field was the most important laborer who judged the other workers in the field, because of God’s goodness to all of them. 

The number eleven runs throughout the scriptures and puts an accent mark upon God’s desire for this present generation and what He is planning to do in the New Year 2011.

I encourage you to study this number out before the Lord; seek for His understanding in the matter.  But most of all, let’s enter into 2011 with great faith and expectation of God’s amazing works to be seen and experienced by us, His people.

Happy New Year,

Pastors Ken and Tonja
