2 Peter 2:1
“But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Genesis 12:2
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
1 Corinthians 3:10-20
Genesis 11:4
“Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
“By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
WORD FOR 2024
Pastor Ryan Young
January 14, 2024
This year will be a year of transformation, wait for it and look for it.
Things will not be the same any more in 2024.
There will be a calling out, there has been too much mixture in the church for too long and so I am calling my people out. Return to me says the Lord and you shall flee the wrath that is to come. I am calling you to be a separate and Holy people devoted to the Lord. The Lord will move swiftly and suddenly in 2024. Expect the unexpected says the Lord. There will be no more delay for those who have obeyed.
Those who have sat by, folding their hands, saying, "we will see what God will do", I say, that I will no longer be mocked by you. Your mouth will drop open when you see what I do for those who trust in me. For the name of the Lord is strong and His arm is not too short to save. I will do what I will do and my name will be exalted again in the earth. I shall reveal my glory to my people, and they shall worship me. There will be divine disruptions to human plans. Things that people have relied upon will become a byword so that people may learn to rely on my word.
In my mercy I will call people to repentance but those who are determined to make a name for themselves and build for themselves I shall leave in confusion. So, separate yourselves and you shall see My glory and all people will know that you are mine for I have called you to be Holy for I am Holy, says the Lord your God.
