01/08/2021 —  
The year 2021 will be a year of ascension for you individually, for your family and for this nation – but most of all for the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be the local church’s finest hour.

There must be birthed in the Church a great desire for change, to replace the spirit of timidity. We have shrunk in fear from what God says we have dominion over. There is no need for us to be timid; we possess absolute truth, so we can let nothing turn us away from it!

You are anointed, appointed and accepted. Commit today to do your part of making 2021 a year of ascension for WHC! 
 

1 John 3:4-10
“Anyone who indulges in sin lives in moral anarchy, for the definition of sin is breaking God’s law. And you know without a doubt that Jesus was revealed to eradicate sins, and there is no sin in him. Anyone who continues to live in union with him will not sin. But the one who continues sinning hasn’t seen him with discernment or known him by intimate experience.
“Delightfully loved children, don’t let anyone divert you from this truth. The person who keeps doing what is right proves that he is righteous before God, even as the Messiah is righteous. But the one who indulges in a sinful life is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.
“Everyone who is truly God’s child will refuse to keep sinning because God’s seed remains within him, and he is unable to continue sinning because he has been fathered by God himself. Here is how God’s children can be clearly distinguished from the children of the Evil One. Anyone who does not demonstrate righteousness and show love to fellow believers is not living with God as his source” (TPT).
 
John 10:7-13
“So Jesus went over it again, ‘I speak to you eternal truth: I am the Gate for the flock. All those who broke in before me are thieves who came to steal, but the sheep never listened to them. I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow! I am the Good Shepherd who lays down my life as a sacrifice for the sheep. But the worker who serves only for wages is not a real shepherd. Because he has no heart for the sheep he will run away and abandon them when he sees the wolf coming. And then the wolf mauls the sheep, drags them off, and scatters them’” (TPT).
 
Ephesians 3:7-13
“I have been made a messenger of this wonderful news by the gift of grace that works through me. Even though I am the least significant of all his holy believers, this grace-gift was imparted when the manifestation of his power came upon me. Grace alone empowers me so that I can boldly preach this wonderful message to non-Jewish people, sharing with them the unfading, inexhaustible riches of Christ, which are beyond comprehension.
“My passion is to enlighten every person to this divine mystery. It was hidden for ages past until now, and kept a secret in the heart of God, the Creator of all. The purpose of this was to unveil before every throne and rank of angelic orders in the heavenly realm God’s full and diverse wisdom revealed through the church. This perfectly wise plan was destined from eternal ages and fulfilled completely in our Lord Jesus Christ, so that now we have boldness through him, and free access as kings before the Father because of our complete confidence in Christ’s faithfulness.
“My dear friends, I pray that you will remain strong and not be discouraged or ashamed by all that I suffer on your behalf, for it is for your glory” (TPT).
 

• We can all celebrate that 2020 is over. We made it through an incredibly difficult year!


• In 2021 we must not merely gather together. Things and people that are gathered often have no unifying purpose. We must assemble! Groups that assemble have a common mission, and ours is to advance the Kingdom of God on Earth.


• We, the Church, are about to rise in power, and that requires rising in purity. If we are going to claim to be the “good guys,” our behavior needs to reflect that!


• The power of holiness is the power released when you recognize there is only one of Him. God has never been duplicated.  He is all powerful because He is absolutely holy – and we must be as well. 


• We are to proclaim Christ, and Him crucified. Crucifixion is ugly and bloody – that’s why so few preachers talk about it. It is through Christ’s own self-sacrifice and resurrection that we have victory, living out His compassion by loving God (holiness) and loving others.


• In 2021, we will become the church of ascension! The year 2021 will be our finest hour!
