<p class=""><strong>Solomon’s Garden Season</strong></p>



<p class=""><em>A few weeks ago the Lord suddenly spoke the words “you have entered Solomon’s garden”. After hearing this I visited a church that had dedicated 12+ hours a day for several weeks to constant prayer and worship. Standing up to speak, saturated in the presence of God, I gazed around the room and perceived enormous flowers in the spirit filling the room like a garden. They were as tall as the people in the room. At that moment I understood that the church had already entered the place of their hopes and were spiritually standing in their harvest field.&nbsp;</em></p>



<p class=""><em>What can you expect to find in “Solomon’s Garden”?</em></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">Solomon’s Garden is a place of encounter. </li>
</ol>



<p class="">“How pleasing is your fragrance; your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils. No wonder all the young women love you! Take me with you; come, let’s run! The king has brought me into his bedroom. How happy we are for you, O king. We praise your love even more than wine. How right they are to adore you.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Persistently the Hand Of God knocks on the doors of hearts seeking to gain entrance. Knock, knock, knock. His gentle knock is accompanied by the beckoning of that still small voice drawing hearts to desire more.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The Father’s love, the love of Christ and brotherly love mark this season inspiring new alliances which will birth Heavenly plans.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">An invitation has gone out drawing you into greater depths where you see Him clearly, hear His voice loudly and know Him with certainty. You are living in the moment you’ve hoped for! “Take me with you; come, let’s run!”</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">In Solomons Garden the beauty of His works surround us. </li>
</ol>



<p class="">“How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves. You are so handsome, my love, pleasing beyond words! The soft grass is our bed; fragrant cedar branches are the beams of our house, and pleasant smelling firs are the rafters.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Consider your surroundings. Look in every direction and observe that you are blanketed by favor and surrounded by the beauty of His faithfulness. You are blessed!</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">Solomon’s Garden is a staging area for your “next”. </li>
</ol>



<p class="">“My lover said to me, “Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one! Look, the winter is past, and the rains are over and gone. The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Recently while on a prayer assignment in Washington DC I was in a prayer room with a powerful group of intercessors warring against a relentless spirit of witchcraft which had entered to try and defy God’s plans. I watched in the spirit while a husband and wife from New York began to take authority over it. As the wife prayed I saw a giant hammer strike an enormous tent peg into the ground with great force right in the center of our prayer circle. “Whack”! The action repeated itself several times while she prayed. I could actually feel the striking force of the hammer. I discovered later that the couple pastored a church in Queens and were nearing the end of a prayer assignment given by Apostle Chuck Pierce which sent them all over New York striking tent pegs into the ground claiming territory for the Kingdom of God! The three of us were astonished and blessed by my vision. Until that moment they had focused so intently on the assignment that they had not stopped to witness the power breaking forth as a result.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">A completed work has taken place in your lives and even in the lives of those around you and many are ready for more, ready for the “next”!&nbsp;</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">Solomon’s Garden is a place of refreshing for the adventure ahead.  </li>
</ol>



<p class="">“You are as exciting, my darling, as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Hearing His voice, feeling His heart, speaking His words, moving with His Spirit will become the driving force of your lives. Jesus is our obsession.&nbsp;</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li class="">It is a site of new beginnings. </li>
</ol>



<p class="">“Awake, north wind! Rise up, south wind! Blow on my garden and spread its fragrance all around. Come into your garden, my love; taste its finest fruits.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">The delightful fragrance of bread baking in the oven is sensed prior to our eyes gazing upon the finished product.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fragrance appeals to the senses guiding us to the next step which is to partake. A fragrance indicates you are getting close to something wonderful.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The north and the south winds are working on your behalf. One is a drenching stormy rain while the other brings the heat of the sun. Together they contrive new life.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Sometimes the force of the wind has felt violent, even distracting.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The fragrance of the fulfillment of your prayers, hopes and dreams is wafting through the air even now.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">6.Solomon’s Garden is connected to revival.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless You.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Psalms‬ ‭145‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬</p>



<p class="">Entering the garden you find a place of blessing, breakthrough. You are met with the favor of a King and the overwhelming love of a Father. Many will be drawn in by His great love which permeates the atmosphere.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">May the Lord be glorified in your blessings and breakthroughs. Begin to look for the tiny shoots springing up from the ground and rejoice in even the small beginnings.&nbsp;</p>

<p class=""><strong>You Have Entered Solomon’s Garden</strong></p>



<p class="">Today I discerned a distinctive shift in the Spirit and began to understand that we are now in a completely different place. We are living in a sudden moment.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Awake, north wind! Rise up, south wind! Blow on my garden and spread its fragrance all around. Come into your garden, my love; taste its finest fruits.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Beginning earlier in the week at a powerful gathering of prophets and intercessors on Tuesday evening, while a blood moon hung in the sky, I heard a stirring in the Spirit inspiring people to call forth the fruit of their labors.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Specifically the Lord encouraged me to ask that He “multiply the effectiveness of our every effort”. This includes every place you have focused your attention even if only for a moment. He inspired me to call the “hard pathways” to “overflow with abundance”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory. And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Excitingly the New King James Version finishes with “establish the work of our hands for us”.&nbsp;&nbsp;I feel the Father’s heart inspiring His people to begin to pray with expectation seeking the manifestation of what you’ve hoped for.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Psalms‬ ‭65‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">With fervent hope you’ve released your best intercession to Heaven and now His response will be nothing short of glorious. The prayers of the faithful result in awesome deeds released by the hand of God Almighty.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬</p>



<p class="">May I encourage you today to enter Solomon’s garden, call upon the north and south wind to stir up the fragrance of what is beginning to break forth all around you. Enter and believe that He “faithfully answers our prayers with awesome deeds”.&nbsp;&nbsp;It’s time to tell God “I’m ready”!</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=683">You Have Entered Solomon’s Garden</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="">“So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. “God did it!” David exclaimed. “He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!” So they named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”).”</p>



<p class="">1 Chronicles 14:11 NLT</p>



<p class="">This week has been extremely volatile in the Spirit. A level of intensity between Jesus and His bride has reached such a threshold that it is extremely uncomfortable. It is more than we can handle yet He will not let us turn away. He is drawing us deeper into places we’ve never been with Him. I can hear the prayers of Jesus as He makes intercession for His churches: “teach My people to worship. You were created to worship”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">He stands poised to break iron bars and bronze gates (previous places of restriction) and open before you the ancient gates (never before seen places of access!)&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">What will you do in this moment? How will you respond?</p>

<p class=""><strong>Maldives</strong></p>



<p class="">With heavy intensity the Lord moved me to keep a detailed travel journal thoughout this experience, leading me even to discover the prophetic significance of even the room numbers we were assigned.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">I share this story with the understanding that as you read this account you will perceive how God desires to treat you and illustrate His involvement in your personal stories this year.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The voyage to Maldives and the tiny unmarked island where we would spend the next 6 days was extensive involving 2 airplanes and a boat! Before the second airplane landed a shocking announcement came over the airwaves in English warning passengers not to bring any religious articles into Maldives as they are a Muslim only country. I had not expected this and immediately began to wonder if I was carrying something that could get me in trouble.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Once we arrived on the island named “Hadaha” which sounded similar to “Hadassah”, Queen Esther’s Hebrew name, we spent the first 3 days in a villa within the tropical rainforest portion of the island. Our room was number 11.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The spiritual significance of 11: Personal Growth: Encounters with the number 11 can indicate a calling for spiritual growth and an invitation to deepen your relationship with the divine.</p>



<p class="">It was an 11 day journey to the promised land. Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">In the early hours of our first night there we were awakened by bizarre noises outside our villa discovering later it was the fruit bat. “Flying foxes”, giant fruit bats heavily inhabit the island. We began to search for them each day taking pictures and video of the distinguished creature. Most guests did not even notice but we watched with wonder as they would swoop down to drink from the swimming pool then land upside down in a banana tree.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">There was a heavy blanket of oppression in the spiritual atmosphere. I struggled with it for the first 2 days until finally I chose to stretch my spiritual neck above it lifting my faith higher to receive the favor of the table set before me in the presence the enemy. By faith I raised myself up to the abundance of that spiritual table and broke through the oppressive darkness of the lower spiritual atmosphere. The break through resulted from a choice of which truth I would believe.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Each morning before leaving our villa we prayed our verse for this year: “open up ancient gates open up ancient doors let the king of glory enter, who is the king of glory the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord invincible in battle”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">One morning as we were walking down the dust path of the tropical jungle of that small unmarked island in the Indian Ocean I heard singing. Quickly we realized that on the other side of the bamboo wall staff was gathering for the Muslim call to prayer. Immediately my soul came to attention and I had an open vision of Jesus right in front of me. I began to pray in the Spirit with feeling of conquering empowerment. In my heart I declared: “Lord we will out-pray them”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">After the 3rd day we moved to room 44 which was a villa located over the water.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The Hebrew meaning of 44 “my father is help,&#8221;</p>



<p class="">Our entire experience changed with our new room assignment. I draw strength from being around the ocean, knowing that scripture tells us God’s voice is “like the voice of many waters”. My soul begins to flourish and a sense of wonder is renewed when I am around water.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">We spent the next 3 days climbing down the ladder of our back porch and exploring the most remarkable reef we have ever snorkeled. Teeming with colorful fish of all sizes, the reef was decadent. We encountered bright purple clams, giant Black Sea slugs and many colorful varieties of fish. Often the swim was vigorous but fascinating.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The people were very kind and gracious but I observed a spiritual hold placed on each of their lives blocking the fullness of joy. It was as though they were permitted to only go so far but were restrained from crossing over into joy.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">With each conversation I looked intently into each of their eyes endeavoring to connect with their spirits and pull them into the love of Christ. I could see that some wanted to cross over but each time they were restrained. </p>



<p class="">Please take a moment to agree with me in prayer that with God all things are possible! Lord, may your glorious hand come to the people of Maldives and lift the veil enabling them to cross over into the joy of knowing Jesus.&nbsp;</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=677">The Maldives</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>“Who Do You Say I Am?”</strong></p>



<p class="">“The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress.” Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">On the day before our great adventure taking us half way around the world, I was jogging when suddenly the Lord said “upgrade”. Immediately I began trying to adjust my mindset repositioning my viewpoint to align as a child of the King.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Before retiring that evening the Lord revisited a recent encounter I had with a life long friend. I knew going in it would be difficult and uncomfortable. I even tried making up excuses to get out of it but then came the thought: “what if everyone prized their own comfort above building God’s Kingdom?” As I parked my car that day I asked for an anointing and immediately His warmth and empowerment blanketed me. We talked for the 3 hours. She raged vehemently about the current state of our country. Instead of falling into provocation I asked her to explain her side. By His Grace I listened with love. When it was my turn to speak wisdom came from Heaven. I told her the story of the day Joshua stood at Jericho seeing the angel of God!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?” “Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the Lord’s army.” At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?””</p>



<p class="">‭‭Joshua‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">With wisdom that can only come from Heaven I explained that I do not follow people I only follow Jesus. I’m on neither side but instead on the side of Heaven.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">When the name of Jesus entered the conversation her spirit was instantly stilled in peace. His name came up several more times in our conversation. Each time I spoke His name I pointed to Heaven and the Kingdom came. Each time her spirit was stilled. The Lord later explained that during the great discomfort of that moment He was marking her with His presence.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">On the night before my grand adventure I had an open vision of what actually happened in that moment. Until that time I could not see beyond my own discomfort. Suddenly I began to see the all encompassing light of the glory of God on that marking moment for her, knowing that in the days ahead she would wrestle with God. I began to perceive the grandeur of His glory overtaking the deep darkness which surrounds her. The darkness seemed to have a firm impenetrable hold on her life until this moment!</p>



<p class="">Today is the day of embarkation. I sat down with longing to seek His face in preparation for our voyage to Qatar and instantly I heard:&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">“Who do you say I Am?”</p>



<p class="">This came as a shock to my spirit because God was not asking me to draw on my own personal experience of who He has been to me but to instead see the potential that lies ahead. The potential of who He could be for me!</p>



<p class="">Ask yourself: Who is He to me? Who has He been to me in days past? Who do I wish He could be for me today? Exactly what am I carrying now as Christ increases in me? What is He capable of doing in the places I enter and walk?</p>



<p class="">Consider the victory song of Deborah:&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Lord, when you set out from Seir and marched across the fields of Edom, the earth trembled, and the cloudy skies poured down rain. The mountains quaked in the presence of the Lord, the God of Mount Sinai— in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Judges‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">There are many brothers and sisters in Christ representing His Kingdom today. You hear their perspectives of who He is. But you, can you look higher? How high can you see? Can you believe greater? How deep can your faith go?</p>



<p class="">Now, full of potential, </p>



<p class="">“who do you say I Am?”</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=674">Who Do You Say I Am?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>Wait For The Watcher’s Reward</strong></p>



<p class="">Around 9am on the morning of December 26th Holy Spirit began repeating these two verses over and over until finally I stopped and took notice: “He has hurled both the horse and rider into the sea…He always causes me to triumph”</p>



<p class="">“Triumph” is the message from Heaven at this time.  The Lord is orienting the focus of His weary warriors to see the glory rising on the horizon ahead. Let’s examine these two verses, one from the Old Testament and one from the New. </p>



<p class="">“And Miriam sang this song: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.””</p>



<p class="">‭‭Exodus‬ ‭15‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">“Both the horse and rider” was emphasized by the Holy Spirit. This is a complete desolation of the enemy forces. If it had just been the rider then another could come and mount the horse to ride against you. The victory would have been temporary. But today God is saying that both the evil force and its movement against you have been stopped by the hand of God.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Consider the viewpoint of Israel. It must have been a strange feeling at first when all of a sudden their greatest threat, the enemy that had always oppressed them was just gone..</p>



<p class="">The last few days have carried much distraction and confusion. With great effort and uncompromising focus we have pressed in to seek the face of Jesus, waiting, and lingering with Him until a change came.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Position yourself daily to watch and wait for Him before you do anything else. When He arrives, your atmosphere changes and you are suddenly empowered for what the day will hold. Abundant life and favor accompany you on your journey. Allow Him to adjust your attitude. Suddenly joy will infiltrate and seep into every crevice of your life until you begin to perceive things differently.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Here is the next verse:</p>



<p class="">“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬</p>



<p class="">This was the second passage Holy Spirit continually repeated. The emphasis here is “always”! For those who start each day waiting for Him at His gates you will always be lead to triumph. When you find Him, it’s easy to follow Him. He promises always to lead you to triumph.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Fix your expectations on a time of triumph.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Learn how to wait for the watcher’s reward.&nbsp;</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=672">Wait For The Watcher’s Reward</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>Shake Yourself Out Of The Shock And Move In!</strong></p>



<p class="">“Where can we go? Our brothers have demoralized us with their report. They tell us, “The people of the land are taller and more powerful than we are, and their towns are large, with walls rising high into the sky! We even saw giants there—the descendants of Anak!”’ “But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them! The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt. And you saw how the Lord your God cared for you all along the way as you traveled through the wilderness, just as a father cares for his child. Now he has brought you to this place.’”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭1‬:‭28‬-‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Sadly, having read this story, you know that in the end they were forbidden to enter. </p>



<p class="">Those who gave the hopeless reports were treated the same as those who believed them. Both shared the same fate experiencing a door of destiny close before them.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Is the enemy threatening you with hopeless thoughts? What has God promised you? What have you seen Him do? What does His word say?</p>



<p class="">“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Can you believe His promises? Then you are under His protection!</p>



<p class="">I have been guilty of standing frozen in amazement at the evil actions of the enemy. Twice last year I found myself in situations where the Lord expected me to shift the atmosphere. </p>



<p class="">There is a remedy, which we must learn.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Shake yourself out of the shock!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Stop right now and think of 10 favors the Lord has graciously bestowed on your life! What has He done for you this year? Remind him of 10 of them.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">You have just entered His gates!</p>



<p class="">Now, who is He? “The Lord strong and mighty…The Lord invincible in battle”. Repeat this to Him.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">You have just gone into His courts!</p>



<p class="">Take this two step tactic and move right in to the next place of glory the Lord has given you to occupy.&nbsp;</p>

<p class=""><strong>Be On The Lookout For “Mustard Seed” Moments</strong></p>



<p class="">“Here is another illustration Jesus used: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.””</p>



<p class="">‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">The mustard seed is small, seemingly insignificant and easily overlooked but has the greatest, most grandiose potential!</p>



<p class="">Divine opportunities, interventions and alignments will present themselves cleverly camouflaged as “mustard seeds” easily overlooked. Only those operating in true discernment will make the Kingdom connections.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬</p>



<p class="">King Jesus is inviting you to walk with Him in this moment. Each day the invitation is given: “come, walk with Me.” Standing close to Him you will look in a certain direction and clearly hear His words explaining His viewpoint of what you are seeing.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">An ardent prayer from Heaven “that you may not miss your time of visitation!”</p>



<p class="">““How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.””</p>



<p class="">‭‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭42‬-‭44‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">This terrifying verse exists so that we may learn from it and not make the same mistake! It is there for you to read in the fear of the Lord so that you will pay attention to the moves of the Spirit.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Let’s agree in prayer today, joining our faith to trust God that in Him we will not miss a single “mustard seed moment”.&nbsp;</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=661">Be On The Lookout For “Mustard Seed Moments”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>2026 The Year Of Fulfillment</strong></p>



<p class="">“And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">At this moment I can hear Sarah’s laughter forcefully filling the atmosphere and spreading forcefully throughout the earth. Long awaited testimonies are coming to fruition. One by one stories of impossible breakthrough will fill the airwaves. Incredible testimonies will inspire victorious laughter. Sarah’s laughter is contagious and will spread rapidly throughout the homes of The Beloved this year.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Your laughter will begin when you catch a glimpse of expectation. Your laughter will increase when you start to see fulfillment. Your laughter will intensify when the enemy comes close. With victorious laughter you will defy and mock the enemy’s plans.&nbsp;</p>



<p class=""><strong>Places of restriction will break open this year.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p class="">““Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut: ‘I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬</p>



<p class="">Expect double breakthrough. Enormous doors are opening, one and then the next. Iron bars, which are designed to keep you in, will be cut. Bronze gates, which existed to keep you out, will be broken.&nbsp;</p>



<p class=""><strong>Better paths will open this year.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p class="">“The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬</p>



<p class="">For 38 years the man had looked in one direction expecting his healing could only come by one singular path. Jesus came to open up a better way.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">The Lord also challenged religious boundaries telling him to carry his mat and go! Boundary lines and tired old formats will loose their power this year. We have complicated things and Jesus is coming to restore simplicity to our faith.&nbsp;</p>



<p class=""><strong>The Lord will reveal Himself as the King of Glory in your life this year.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p class="">“Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The Lord of Heaven’s Armies— he is the King of glory. Interlude”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">Double entry points, gates and doors, connecting Heaven to earth are opening in this hour. The power of this scripture will prove itself true in your life as you speak it as a command decreed through worship.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">How does the Lord plan to visit you this year? As the King of Glory! What side of Him will become familiar to you? The Lord strong and mighty, invincible in battle.&nbsp;</p>



<p class=""><strong>Jesus is Lord of “the pathway no one knew was there”</strong></p>



<p class="">“Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters— a pathway no one knew was there!”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Psalms‬ ‭77‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">How long have you flailed between the restrictions of: “either/or”? Jesus is personally opening up the door to “both/and” in this season.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Sarah laughed at the sight of a brand new, life changing miracle.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Will you choose in this moment to begin laughing with her believing what is coming and laughing by faith?</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=658">2026 The Year Of Fulfillment</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="">Pause For Refreshment</p>



<p class="">Upon embarking on another exciting adventure I began to hear these words:</p>



<p class="">“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">At first they came as a repeated whisper but soon I honed in on the promise. God’s people have entered a time of rest, refreshing and prosperity. Every resource you have expended for the Kingdom will be renewed.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“It is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and was refreshed.’””</p>



<p class="">‭‭Exodus‬ ‭31‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">There are designated times and seasons for us to move in different ways along diverse paths. This is a time to embrace His overshadowing peace as you practice “be still and know”, “be still and watch”, and “be still and behold”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">“Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.”</p>



<p class="">‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬</p>



<p class="">For 4 months now throughout each day everywhere I look my eyes fall on triple digits. The most frequent being 222. I see them on the clock, I see them on the GPS and even on my miles to go. This indicates a 3 fold blessing. I would even go so far as to prophesy that in 3 areas where you have believed, prayed and stood in faith you will experience the Master’s defining touch. The magnitude of this triple fold breakthrough will be extremely significant shifting you into an unimaginable future.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">You will access portals of glory through simple faith. Choosing to continue to believe God’s promises you will cross destiny thresholds. Simply believing without doubt is your key to crossing over.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">You will be refreshed, revived, restored, renewed by living out long time dreams fulfilled.&nbsp;t</p><p>The post <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com/?p=655">Pause For Refreshment</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thebanquetcelebration.com">The Banquet Celebration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
