2025 Declarations: STAYING IN BOUNDS
I declare that in 2025…
1. WE WILL BE STAYING IN BOUNDS
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT THE STEPS I TAKE ARE GOD’S STEPS
Shooting from out of bounds, you can show off your gift but you can’t help the team win.
Ps.91:1, Amp — “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure”
2. WE CAN EXPECT(and be watching and listening for) the KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM FATHER IS GIVING.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT MY EYES AND EARS ARE OPEN TO GOD’S WISDOM. I WILL BE LIKE SOLOMON.
A. Saving Money
B. Preventative Considerations
I Peter 5:8, Amp – “Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.”
(But not if we don’t pray)
3. WE WILL “TAKE THE LAND” in 2025
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT FEAR IS A LIE. GOD’S PROMISES ARE PINKY PROMISED.
How do I “take the land?” According to the example in the book of Deuteronomy, Israel took the land by “dispossessing the enemy”.
Deuteronomy 1:8 — “See, I have set the land before you; go in and take possession of the land which the Lord swore to your fathers,”
(1) Discouragement, (2) fear of failure or rejection and (3) doubts of others are all enemies of promise. Displace those enemies with truth out of your own mouth. “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess.” (Heb.10:23)
Joshua 1:3: “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads I have given to you”
(But not if we don’t pray)
4. GOD WILL BE DEALING WITH PEOPLE IN NONTYPICAL WAYS.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT I WILL TRUST GOD TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN SURPRISING AND AMAZING WAYS.
May we have the discernment, the insight to go with the unusual, nontypical ways He answers prayers.
Isa.55:8-9—“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Mk.4—While dealing with the wind and waves of a violent storm, the disciples were not expecting
anything unconventional from Jesus in the boat.
They were expecting CONVENTIONALthings from an UNCONVENTIONAL SAVIOR.
If only they could have grasped the concept that He is THE MASTER OF THE STORM.
Mk 4:41, they asked one another, “What manner of man is this?” — Just WHO IS THIS?
Master = Unconventional
WE WILL FIND OUT MORE IN 2025
He has POWER OVER THE POWER THAT THREATENS!
5. HOLY SPIRIT, THE SUPER SPIRIT, shall be seen ACTIVE through His DWELLING PRESENCEand PERMEATINGPRESENCE.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT I WILL TRUST THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP ME BE STRONG AND DO RIGHT.
Yearning for a superhero to contradict the oppression of a downward spiral. Since the powerful Holy Spirit (THE Super Spirit) is the one who links heaven and earth(Jn 16:7), it should be obvious to us that His DWELLING PRESENCE WITHIN US (Lk 24:49; Acts 1:8), and His PERMEATING PRESENCE INTO CHAOS (Gen. 1:2;Jn 16:8-11;Acts 17:6) is the only way the powers of darkness can be defeated.
6. WE WILL BE ENABLED TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE WE NEVER PRAYED FOR.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT I WILL BRAVELY PRAY FOR OTHERS.
In the coming year the Lord will enable you to think about someone(s) you have never really thought about before, you will begin to pray for them regularly and a life will be turned around.
1 Tim. 2:1 – 4, Amp — 1 “First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of ALL PEOPLE, 2 for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth.
7. NOTABLE PEOPLE WILL BE GRIPPED WITH THE FEAR OF THE LORD.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT SUPER COOL PEOPLE WILL START INFLUENCING FOR JESUS.
There will be known names who will change their stance on vital issues and will take great risk in standing for righteous causes. *And they need us to pray for them.
There will be those of notable repute (and those who are not notable but are, nevertheless, influential upon those who are) who will call upon those who know and walk in Kingdom truth because they desperately want to be free of the haunting and even possessing apparitions that slavishly drive them down misleading paths and brutishly pull them down into dark pits.
Phil.4:21-22,Amp—Remember me to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. 22 All God’s people wish to be remembered to you, especially THOSE OF CAESAR’S HOUSEHOLD.
(But not if we don’t pray)
8. THERE WILL BE NONTYPICAL SIGNS AND WONDERS.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT SIGNS AND WONDERS ARE SECRETLY HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES.
There will be signs and wonders that will be overlooked by many because they will not necessarily be like ones which the typical Christian would call signs and wonders.
They will carry intercessors in visions, some will even be translated.
Signs and wonders will move people (directly or indirectly) out of positions of influence and move other people into positions of influence.
As God Almighty moves behind the scenes, and rarely receives His due in those cases, so He will move people into positions of influence behind the scenes whose names will never be known.
(But not if we don’t pray)
9. This year, we will be able to GET UP OFF THE STOOL AND GO ONE MORE ROUND.
KIDS: I DECLARE THAT GOD WILL GIVE ME HOLY SPIRIT POWERADE!
A vision of a boxer fighting in a ring:
Breathing heavily and throwing punches that were having very little effect.
Then his trainer took a cool, sopping wet towel and wiped it over his feverish head and face. Instantly, a most welcome refreshing
swept over him!
This year, our Trainer, Holy Spirit, will refresh us, empower us, encourage us and gift us.
