2019 will be a year abounding in defining moments. There will be great showdowns, downfalls, pitfalls, and defining moments for all. Scandals will increase to such a degree that no one will even care about them anymore.

There will be increased violence and corruption, as in the days of Noah. But in the midst of increased violence and corruption, there will be great triumphs for many, for grace will exceedingly abound for all who avail themselves of the gifts of God.

As we enter into days of upheaval, search in your heart to find for yourself the secret place of the Most High and determine not to leave it. For it is living and moving and having your being in Jesus, who lives in you. It is in Him that you find the secret place.

Watch and pray that you escape the evil things that are happening and that will continue to increase. Don’t focus so much on what the world’s spirit is doing. But I, the Lord, say, watch yourself, the place of your spirit, the set of your soul, and the peace of your body that your being rest in Me, and you shall see My favor rest upon you.

The old will struggle hard to hold onto its long-held positions, but much of its long-held values and views will lose to the new. A new generation will come into its own, and it will own the day. It’s not a time to be sad, always looking back, for you have so many reasons to be glad, says the Lord.

2019 will be a year to be remembered for many reasons. Judgments will abound to the good, for the righteous, and for the downfall of the unrighteous. 2019 is not a time to repeat old mistakes from your past, for the enemy of your soul will sorely tempt you this year to repeat that which failed you greatly in the past.

In the days ahead this year, I will show you the sins you are capable of. Some will commit them, and yet they thought they never would. These are inherent weaknesses in the soul. Turn to Me, says the Lord, and let Me strengthen you against these temptations.

Take time with Me to search out your motives and discern your feelings, for emotional values will come to the forefront to take many into emotional captivity. Only the wise will recognize the tempter at work in their life, and they will escape the snare laid to trap them.

All areas of science, especially in the medical field, will make extraordinary advances into areas never believed possible. Every area of existence is on an increased course. Because of the escalation of events, circumstances, and situations, trials and tribulations for everyone will increase.

But the true believer in Jesus knows fully in his heart that where sin and trouble abound, grace is more abundant and fully accessible to the spiritual man. Many who are not spiritual but only function through their natural senses will become dismayed, discouraged, and some will become despondent.

But those who know their God and are fully baptized in the Holy Spirit shall abound in a strength they have never known, and they shall increase in their ability in God to accomplish the works of Jesus in the earth. They will not be stopped by obstacles, and the limitations they had in the past will be abolished through greater degrees of anointing imparted to them.

The true lovers of the life of Jesus lived through them will emerge. They have chosen to live the life He has given them rather than the life the world offers them. 2019 also will be a year of great triumphs, especially for those who overcome the devil’s strategy to bring intense temptations to them to return to old sins and old patterns of the past. The past must be left behind, says the Lord, and My future for you must proceed immediately.

Many of the Lord’s people will be drawn again to connect with their old sins and their old ways. They will learn of their latent weaknesses that they were unaware of so that they can cry out of their hearts to the Lord for a fullness of salvation and a clearer walk with Me in this day and really, truly, desire it.

The love of the life of God lived in you is of paramount importance. This is not a love of the fact that He exists in you, it is loving Him living His life through you.

Economic growth will exceed expectations for the wise-hearted. Climate issues will come to the forefront, and none will be able to deny. Political surprises will astound everyone. Old enemies in the world that have become friends will return to their former positions. Old ideologies will be advancing with new names.

The enemy’s use of accusation will be widespread. Only the spiritual man who moves by the Holy Spirit’s direction will securely maneuver the day. The outcome of this day, the successes and triumphs of good over evil, are solely in the hands of the spiritual man who lives and moves as one man with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in all their administrations.

As you choose to move forward in Me, the future will belong to you. The victories will be yours, and you will know the exceeding greatness of My abounding and limitless grace, for My victories and My graces await those who follow Me with a whole heart, says the Lord.
