12 Prophetic Signposts for 2008
Matt Sorger of Matt Sorger Ministries waited on the Lord for the entire month of January. As he did, the Holy Spirit spoke to him about the things we can be expecting and looking for in the coming days. This week we will share with you six of the signposts God gave him, and next week we will share the final six.
“1. God is about to invade His church. Jesus is inspecting His Father’s temple. Some tables are going to be overturned this year. Don’t be dismayed when you see this happen. It is the hand of the Lord. God is refining the inward motives of the heart. Any work done with a selfish, self-seeking motive will not survive the refining fire.
Key Scriptures: Matt. 21:12; 1 Cor. 3:13, 4:5
“2.God is calling the church to return to and restrengthen the foundations of our faith and personal walk with Him and our ministries. A refining fire is coming, and anything not built on a foundation of love will not stand the testing. God is inspecting our works. He wants work to be motivated by love and not to be empty activity. Some lamp stands will be removed this year. Anything not built on love will be shaken.
Key Scripture: Rev. 2:4-5
“3.There will be many ‘love tests’ this year. People will be given opportunities to grow in true Christ-like love. God will allow moments of difficulty and challenge to teach us to walk and live in love. He is taking us deeper into the gospel of the kingdom, which is to love God with all our hearts and to love people. God is really bringing a revival of true heartfelt love. God wants to invade whole cities and regions. The key that will unlock cities and bring a move of God like the Welsh Revival of 1904 will be the revelation and reality of kingdom love.
Key Scriptures: 1 Pet. 4:12-13; Matt. 22:36-40
“4. New ministries will be birthed this year. There will be another wave of launching ministries. God has been laying foundations, and now is the time to take action and step out into the fullness of the call of God. Some ‘good things’ will have to be let go of in order to lay hold of God’s best. It truly will be a season of ‘new beginnings’ for many.
Key Scripture: Gen. 12:1
“5. The apostolic mandate will continue to mature and come into greater manifestation this year as the church is ‘sent by God’ into the marketplace, highways and byways to see the gospel of the kingdom advance forward. There will be a fresh emphasis on souls, church planting and discipling new believers. We will see a new wave of evangelism released through apostolic order. God is stirring the body to aggressively pursue creative miracles and deliverance. Look for opportunities for God to move outside church meetings. If you make yourself available He will move in the most unexpected places.
Key Scriptures: Luke 14:23; John 1:6-8
“6.God will reveal to the church the true prosperity of the Lord. Any prosperity preached with a motive of greed and selfishness will be shaken down so the true prosperity of the Lord can shine forth. Only God knows the motives and intents of the heart. We must be careful not to prematurely judge people or ministries. Let God be the judge. God is refocusing our understanding of biblical prosperity with the truth that we are blessed so we can be a blessing to others and advance the kingdom of God in the earth. (Remember, prosperity is more than just finances. It also includes divine health, healing, protection, forgiveness, grace, joy, peace and much more.) God will continue to anoint people with creative business ideas for supernatural wealth to help fund the end-time harvest.
Key Scriptures: 2 Cor. 9:6-11; Is. 60:11.”
