2022 IS THE YEAR OF CORRECTION, DIRECTION, PROTECTION AND PERFECTION—IN SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY, IN FINANCES, CHURCHES AND GOVERNMENT.
2022 IS A YEAR OF CORRECTION
“FOR THE LORD CORRECTS THOSE HE LOVES (PROVERBS 3:12).” GOD HAS EACH ONE OF US ON A PATH TO OUR DREAMS AND PURPOSE, BUT OUR ARRIVAL DEPENDS ON CONTINUAL COURSE CORRECTIONS ALONG THE WAY. YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO RECEIVE CORRECTION. THERE IS NO PATH TO PROMOTION WITHOUT IT. COPELAND SAYS, “IF YOU’RE UNTEACHABLE, THEN THERE’S NO CORRECTION. IF THERE’S NO CORRECTION, THERE’S NO DIRECTION.”
THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS CORRECTION BY 3 WAYS—BY HIS WORD, BY HIS SPIRIT AND THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE. SOME PEOPLE SAY, “I ONLY RECEIVE CORRECTION FROM GOD,” BUT THAT’S A DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE. GOD USES OTHER PEOPLE TO BRING CORRECTION TO YOU, BUT IF YOU’RE INTENTIONALLY TUNED OUT, YOU’LL MISS IT. THERE IS VALUE IN HEARING THE OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE OF OTHER WISE AND GODLY PEOPLE WHOM GOD HAS PLACED IN YOUR LIFE.
2022 IS A YEAR OF DIRECTION
THE LORD WILL SHOW YOU WHICH PATH TO TAKE (PROVERBS 3:6). COPELAND WARNS ABOUT 4 PITFALLS WHEN RECEIVING DIRECTION. THE FIRST IS TO MAKE A MOVE TOO QUICKLY. SOMETIMES DELAY IS ACTUALLY GOD’S RIGHT TIMING. DON’T MOVE AHEAD OF GOD. NUMBER 2—DON’T BE LED BY THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO YOU (PROVERBS 14:12). FOLLOW WHERE THE LORD IS LEADING, THAT’S WHERE YOU WILL BE SAFE. NUMBER 3—DON’T BE LED BY EMOTIONS. EMOTIONS INCLUDING FEAR, FRUSTRATION, HURT OR BITTERNESS SHOULD HAVE NO PART IN YOUR DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. NUMBER 4—DON’T FOLLOW THE WORLD’S WAYS. MANY PEOPLE CAN TELL YOU HOW THEY GOT WHERE THEY ARE, BUT ONLY THE WISDOM OF GOD CAN LEAD YOU TO SUCCESS WITHOUT SORROW.
2022 IS A YEAR OF PROTECTION
RECEIVING CORRECTION & DIRECTION PAVES THE WAY TO PROTECTION. TO LIVE IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH (PSALM 91), YOU MUST BE COMPLETELY YIELDED TO GOD’S CORRECTION AND DIRECTION. SPEAKING PSALM 91 (FOR EXAMPLE) WILL NOT KEEP YOU SAFE IF YOU ARE NOT HEEDING THE WARNINGS GOD IS GIVING YOU. IF YOU WANT TO STAY SAFE AND INCREASE IN BLESSING, YOU MUST YIELD TO GOD’S DIRECTION.
2022 IS A YEAR OF PERFECTION
PERFECTION IS NOT PERFECTIONISM. THE WAY WE REACH PERFECTION IS IN COLOSSIANS 3:14—BY LOVING GOD AND LOVING OTHERS. PERFECTION IS THE COMPLETION OF CORRECTION, DIRECTION AND PROTECTION. BY RECEIVING GOD’S LOVE AND MERCY, THEN WE GIVE THAT LOVE AND MERCY OUTWARDLY TO OTHERS. WHEN GOD’S LOVE AND MERCY FLOW THROUGH YOU, YOU WILL MOVE FROM VICTORY TO VICTORY ON A CONTINUAL BASIS. LOVE NEVER FAILS. THAT MEANS IF YOU’RE WALKING IN LOVE, YOU CAN’T FAIL!
