THE STORY Of SOTERIA®

{so-tay-ree’-ah} Greek word for SALVATION

Open!...Doors are opening for all of us. The beginning of this year we were seeing “open doors” of heaven. During the course of the year we kept hearing that same word from many different ministries. Even last week another ministry’s newsletter revealed their vision for this year was based on the same Word for them.

Many of you have had doors of opportunity open for you this year. Many of you are exercising your Faith and stepping through those doors even when it doesn’t seem like these are the usual steps you would take to get to places. But, this year, you are going places you’ve never been before. The Lord is taking all his children to new levels and new heights in ministry.

Yes, all of us are being led to new places. Traditions are breaking and you find yourself needing to do more, experience more, get out of where you are, and just begin to make a difference. People in your local church body have been different, restless. They talk more about change and getting involved. If you look closely at what they say, they too have had doors open for them. You’ve met new acquaintances from other regions, areas of the city, and even different parts of the organized church. My goodness, even different denominations. Many of you have met people of different nationalities and completely different religions. You are beginning to see the door of an outpouring begin to take shape.

This door will be the one that will usher in the next year’s visions and moves of the Holy Spirit of God. Next year the door will not only be opportunity, but realization. Many of us have had promises. Many promises. The doors that have opened all around you this year are those you have to walk through to receive those promises. There will be much sewing when you take the steps of Faith to walk through your door. Many of your doors are new missions of prayer. Many are new relationships that need nurturing. Many are

Many of your promises are relatives and friends being saved. Promises that have been hoped for so long will see congregations begin to bask in the presence of God. Promises will be inner cities begin to recognize God is the answer to their challenges with poor and outcast people. Promises will be changes in government and media that will reflect Faith instead of humanism. Promises will be your own recognition of ministry by others and asked to be launched out on behalf of those sending you. This coming year, 2005, many of you have been shifted into higher gears. You have begun to feel the unction to do more so God has opened the doors for the desire of your heart. Position yourself where He is telling you to be. Get in that special place with him and stay there. Don’t be cajoled by the enemy that you must be here or doing that over there. Pray for others but stay in your lane to accomplish what God has for you to do. Get and be under authority. Do not waver or do not shake. There will be wavering and shaking all around you. There will be catastrophic events in 2005 that will cause men’s hearts to cease. But stand fast. You are on the Rock, Salvation, Soteria. The time has come to confront all the issues of life that have held back the Kingdom of God from releasing Jesus in the heavenlies and coming back to Earth. Those issues are ones you will face; alone, with teams, and apostolic leaders. The sin and corruption are about to be broken. But God needs a people. con’t

Text Box: WORD FOR THE MONTH Ps 24:7—Lift up your heads, oh you gates; and be lifted up, you everlasting doors. And the King of Glory shall come in. The gates in your city are in ruins. The ancient doors have been blocked by ways of the unrighteous. My desire is to enter into your city, your homeland. Restore your walls, restore your gates, restore your doors so that I may dwell among you. Look to land, look to the government, look to the business institutions, look to the educational systems and restore them to my name. Tear down the walls around your own sanctuaries and build walls of righteousness around the gates of your city, your land, your heart. Therefore, will I enter in and dwell. My presence will bring healing, miracles, and peace. Your enemy is defeated, you only have to usher him out of your presence by your praise and worship, which is where I live. Pray for the wisdom of God to show you the gates that need repair. Pray for the laborers to enter into the field of harvest. Prepare the way. Prepare this day. Become a gateway for my presence!
