A Word for 2014 by Mary Craig
A Word for 2014 was first published by Mary Craig of Craighouse® & Mary Craig Ministries on December 2013.
The Word received by Mary Craig is for Craighouse® and the Body of Christ
“For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries” 1 Corinthians 16:9.
“Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord…” 2 Corinthians 2:12.
“2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; 3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one” Colossians 4:2-6.
“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name” Revelation 3:8.
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this’” Revelation 4:1.
This year I will open doors of opportunities, open doors for the preaching of the gospel of Jesus. Through My Church will spread everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
This fragrance, of life to some and of death to others, will result in opposition, for many oppose the truth now, suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.
Be bold, but not brassy, and stand strong, always ready to give an answer for the hope within you. Be sensitive to others, perceptive as to their spiritual needs.
Pray Colossians 4:3. Pray to be the faithful Church, not the corrupt, compromising, complacent Church. Revelation 3:7-13.
This year many will deny My Name and will not endure patiently. I know you have little strength; I am and must be your strength — every day, daily. Keep My Word.
As doors open for the gospel, opposition increases. They may hate you, but it is Me they hate.
The presence coming will divide and reveal more clearly the seed of Satan from the Seed of Christ. My Spirit in you will break through the veil of flesh to let the Glory shine through. Be prepared for this.
I am sanctifying to Myself a holy people, a holy bride. As I set My people apart, even those in the visible church will separate from you.
You are My special treasure. I will open doors in heaven, raining down My Spirit upon you. I will watch over you and keep My covenant promises to you.
Isaiah 33:1-6. This is what you can claim for this year. And then watch Me in all of Isaiah 33.
Who are the uncircumcised to defy the Armies of the Living God? I am the Mighty One. Know (oida) Me. And I will open the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in Christ. Colossians 2:3.
Isaiah 22:22 (NKJV)
The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open.
