When I typed this heading the one
thing that stood out for me was all the '2's in this coming year.
Three '2's. This made me wonder what the number two could mean. I
went to the Numbers Dictionary book that I have of Martin van der
Merwe and searched the Biblical meaning of two. Now there were a
lot of meanings, but God singled out two for me:
The first one is unity in
agreement, partnership. Therefore the number two can indicate a
union/partnership that will be of benefit (strength) to both
parties.
The second one is spiritual
promotion. It is a promise that there will be added to what you
have. It can refer to assistance and fellowship as well. It can
point to promotion to a different level.
Then this number two is in the year
three times. The number three refers to perfect unity according to
Martin's book:
"For Christians the greatest
significance of three can be found in the Triune God, reflecting
the perfect unity of the Godhead. Completeness. Three can therefore
be directly related to the perfect Trinity, the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. It can therefore indicate that the person has been
formed in the likeness of Christ. Harmony, grace and
agreement."
Based on all of this I felt the
Holy Spirit leading me to what His heart is for 2022. He wants us
to enter into a partnership with Him. He wants to strengthen us and
help us. Now a partnership means that we are in agreement on
everything, literally everything. A partnership means that we do
not do anything on our own, we first consult with our Partner
before we act. We spend our money when our Partner agrees, we plan
ahead with our Partner, we treat others with respect as it will
reflect badly on our Partner if we don't, we conduct all our
affairs with the sole purpose of exalting and promoting our
Partnership. God wants us all in this year. Not with one foot in
and one out. He wants us to walk every single aspect of our lives
in partnership with Him.
And when we do, spiritual promotion
will be the result. In this perfect unity with Him, we will
experience harmony, grace (unearned favor) and agreement in all we
do. Isn't that what we all want? When we walk in harmony with Him,
He promises that there will be added to what we have and we will
receive assistance from Him. All glory on High!
God wants us seated with Him in
Heavenly places. Jesus has paved the way and the time has come for
us to sit down in agreement with Him. That means rooted in Him in
every aspect of our lives, deeply grounded in who we are in Him,
royalty, priests, citizens of Heaven, sons of God. We need to stand
up as warriors and be counted for who we truly are. Only then can
victory come, only then can we take on 2022 as soldiers clothed
with the armor of God. Fiery darts might come, but we will be ready
for them. Our Partner is mighty, glorious, awesome, all-powerful,
magnificent!!!! We simply need to stay by His side. Is that too
much to ask?
"But God, who is rich in mercy,
because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were
dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace
you have been saved) and raised us up together, and made us sit
together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages
to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His
kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:4-7
Father, we want to partner with You
this year. Thank you for the privilege that we will be able to. You
are amazing and we love You so much. We look forward to our
Partnership and achieving new heights for Your Kingdom and Your
glory. Amen
