There is no doubt that the year 2020 was a very hard, strange, challenging and unexpected year. But as you read these words you can shout in victory, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
There was a lot of fear and uncertainty but the Lord has sheltered your life with His mercy and with His faithful love. That is why you can sing Praise the Lord, oh my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his Holy name.

In the year 2021,the LORD will be searching for people like you and me inviting us to ascend to the mountain of the Lord and to stand in his Holy place. He promises still that those who will seek his presence with all their hearts will receive blessings from the Lord and vindications from God our Savior.

The LORD wants to share with you this year His plans; to reveal to you His purposes; Only if you give him your time and if you workout your spirit to be attentive to his presence and you practice to identify His voice.

In Psalm 24, the Lord promises for those who will go through this way of life to see miracles including you and me; when you ascend to the mountain of the Lord and when you stand in his Holy place, you are preparing the way for His glory. Then you will talk in authority to the closed gates in your life!

Lift up your heads, you gates;

be lifted up, you ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

And you will see the King Jesus Christ comes in and make all the changes in your life and in every field you touch. 

Do you know Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

the Lord mighty in battle.

Psalm 24

If you still see mountains in your life and you see everything is not in place, talk in faith to the struggles and to the barriers. Say it and profess over your new year to be a new season. Lift up your shoulders and say in boldness-
Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.

May the LORD of all seasons shelter your life with His mercy and shine His face on your life.

Praying for you and your beloved ones and wishing you a Happy new year!
