January 2012

Dear Members and Friends of Prince of Peace,

On November 13, 2011 the Lord brought Proverbs 20:12 (2012) to my attention and declared that it is the key to this next year.  It reads: “The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the LORD has made both of them” (NASB).  I believe it is self-explanatory! The Lord has made it extremely clear that our eyes and ears must be open to Him as we go through this coming season.  On Sunday, January 15 I shared the word from the Lord regarding Ephesians 6:12 and the Greek word “pros.” Paul repeated this word, which means ‘against,’ five times for emphasis. Pros, translates as the English word “against” but it also means “near, by, to, towards, an intimate position, face-to-face, and a very close encounter.  The word “pros” is translated “with” in John1:1-2. “The Word was with God…” and it reflects intimacy and union of the Godhead.

Here’s the point!  There are actually four of them. First, in our daily lives the enemy desires us to have intimate contact or close encounter with demon powers that will be marshaled against us. BUT God trumps that desire as He calls each of us into intimate contact with Himself. (more…)
