VISION
FOR 2010

A word in due season from a
member of our body and confirmed through one or more witnesses. As
the Scripture says: Out of the mouth of two or more I will confirm
My Word.
The word for 2010 is "THE YEAR OF THE HARVEST" and the
"CORNERS OF THE FIELDS."
The number 10 is used over and over in God's Word. The number 10
means "proved by testing with expectation of blessing!"
Daniel 1:12 - Ten days to be tested. Daniel refused the King's meat
for beans and water.
Daniel 1:15 - After 10 days he was fairer, fatter than all that did
eat of the King's meat.
Matthew 18: 24 - A man owed 10,000 talents and was forgiven, then
one who owed him he refused to forgive, and all his debt was added
back to him.
Matthew 25:1 - Ten virgins: 5 were full of the Holy Spirit in
relationship with God and 5 were foolish. They forgot God and
focused on the world.
Luke 19:17 - Jesus said, "Well done my good and faithful servant. I
will give you authority over 10 cities."
In 2010 it will be even more trying for our country and the world
because of the United States' removal of Jesus from government,
schools, etc. The blessings of God are removed from the land! The
United States and the World have fallen away from God for the oil
and the wine: Money and Pleasure. It will be the same for the church
as they lose focus on Jesus and accept the king's meat instead of
God. "Choose you this day whom you will serve."
The corners of the fields are the tithes and offerings from
the harvest; your weekly income and the amount committed to God; the
10% and offerings.
2 Corinthians 9:13 says your fulfilling of this giving shows your
subjection to Christ in the tithe and offering which supplies the
needs of the saints and unto men.
As Pastor, I challenge you this day to be either Hot or Cold,
Faithful or Hypocrite (one who wears a mask like an actor in a play,
then removes the mask and becomes one who seeks the world and the
things of the world, and the word and the Spirit are choked out and
he bears no fruit.) Because of this, God says in "Revelations 3:16
"I will spue you out of my mouth!"
I am praying for you and believe you will make the choice to seek
God and not the ways of the world. The choice is yours and yours
alone. May God's Blessings and Favor be yours in 2010
In His service,
Pastor David Bridges
