Word of the Lord for 2011, by Prophet Candy de Maa.

In 2011 we should not get intimidated by the works of the enemy, but we should get amazed by what God is doing and will do.

God showed me that 2011 is going to be as in Isaac’s time, Gen. 26. In 2011 difficult situations will come, but the outcome of them will depend on our attitude and awareness of them. If we believe God and his word, we will prosper in the midst of our circumstances. Jesus says “Have I not told you if you believe you will see the glory of God?” John 11:40. These are the words we need to remember this year to see the supernatural manifestations in our lives. Even in the midst of our circumstances, we need to make the decision not be fearful, but believe in God, in his word, and in his promises.

When Isaac saw the famine in the land (Gen. 26:1-5), he wanted to leave his home and go find food in Egypt. God directly intervened to reassure him that his blessings did not depend on his natural circumstances. God assured him that if he stayed in his land, he would bless him and confirm his covenant with him because his father Abraham was faithful to God.

- Do not allow fear to make decisions that are not led by God. Look for God's guidance in every decision.

Isaac did what God told him to do and he stayed in the land of Gerar (which means: “temporary place of rest”), Gen. 26:6-11. Isaac had many experiences in that land. God truly intervened in his favor, helping him resist fear that tried to intimidate Isaac in many situations. Thank God for his mercy and his divine interventions even when we act incorrectly!

- Do not yield to any pressures that would cause to compromise the truth.

Isaac obeyed God, and God kept his word and blessed him and gave him favor. He had so much favor that the people of the land asked him to leave, Gen. 26:12-16. We will be in situations where jealous people will ask you to leave them.

- Do not be intimidated by people.

We need to be aware of the inheritance that God has given us:

Isaac began to dig the wells his father Abraham had opened in the past but had been closed by the enemy. Vrs. 15. Isaac had an inheritance that was opened again and he started to benefit from it. God told me, "There are many wells of anointing, revival, and favor in our lives that he has given us in the past. But the enemy had put dirt on top of them to dry them up."

The Lord says:  Open up the wells of blessing that I have given you! You have not lost what I gave you in the past. It's there, if you open them up, you will have it again!

The Lord told me:  There are anointings and impartations that my people have received from others, and these are also yours, as wells from the past. If you are aware of them, they will begin to flow again.

God has new things for us:

Isaac not only opened his father's wells, but found NEW WELLS of living water. This year, 2011, is a year where God wants to give us strategies to open new wells!

The Lord says: If they are alert to my voice and let my spirit guide them, I will direct them and give them new strategies to find new wells!

This year is a year where more than ever we need to have more intimacy with God. We will depend on his precise instructions to see our blessings.

In 2011 we need the prophetic revelation, his impressions, and his whispers in order to discover what God has prepared for us.

When Isaac's servants found new wells with living waters, the fights with people began, vrs. 19-21. But Isaac knew that wherever he went, God would go with him and he would bless him. Isaac dug another well in Rehoboth (which means "large and spacious sites"). Isaac was very blessed there.

- Do not get stuck in negative circumstances; keep on going, despite anything....

Because the more spacious, larger places full of blessings are waiting for you.
We see that Isaac went through many negative and opposing circumstances: famine, jealous people, strife, etc ... BUT DESPITE THE CIRCUMSTANCES, God supernaturally blessed Isaac wherever he went, because Isaac believed God and obeyed him.

That is why Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God!" Mt 6:33. God rewarded him by bringing him to a more spacious place, vrs. 22. Later, Isaac went to Beersheba (which means: "place of oath"), where God confirmed his covenant with him, vrs. 23-25. God gives us a promotion when we believe and obey him.

In 2011 we will confront circumstances, but if we believe God, He will surprise us with his miracles! Remember, a miracle is divine intervention in an impossible situation!

The way we respond to circumstances will determine whether or not we will see divine miracles in our midst. The giants in the Promised Land are not there to destroy us; but we are to destroy them, taking the authority over them!

In 2011, for the promises of God to manifest in your life, circumstances will have to adjust to the Kingdom of God, not the Kingdom of God to your circumstances. Get ready to see the supernatural in your life!

'Be not afraid, only believe, and it will be ...' Luke 8:50.
