TRANSITION, SOUL-HEALTH, & EAGLE EYED CLARITY
THE CALL TO FASTING & PRAYER
The first area I want to encourage you in this week is the importance of fasting and prayer. This is not just a seasonal focus but something I believe the Lord is emphasizing for all of 2025. God is seeking a people of prayer. Historically, every revival and reformation in the earth has begun with a praying people. As the scripture declares, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 56:7).
I believe the Lord is restoring this mandate for His people. As a prophetic community, we are called to intercede. When you see chaos and brokenness around you, your response should be to pray, not to gossip, criticize, or react in judgment. Our call is to legislate spiritually through prayer and fasting. As Jesus declared, “This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29). Prayer is what breaks strongholds, shifts atmospheres, and brings breakthroughs in families, communities, and nations.
Ask the Lord what He is calling you to fast and how to dedicate yourself to this lifestyle of intercession in 2025.
RESTORATION OF THE PRIESTHOOD
The Lord is restoring the priesthood in this hour, much like in the days of Eli and Samuel. We are living in a time where the spirit of Eli’s house—compromise and corruption, has monopolized much of the Church. Yet, God is raising a Samuel Generation, a people who will minister unto the Lord with purity of heart, even in a barren spiritual landscape.
“Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind.” (1 Samuel 2:35)
This generation is called to lay down in His presence, posture themselves to hear His voice, and remove every idol or distraction that has drawn them away from true intimacy with the Lord. Return to your first love and minister unto Him alone.
BRING YOUR PLANS BEFORE THE LORD
As you step into 2025, bring your plans before the Lord. Seek His wisdom on what you are meant to be doing and what you are not. This is not a year to be overwhelmed or scattered in a million directions. The Lord is calling His people to steward well the few assignments He has given, rather than spreading themselves thin.
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” (Proverbs 16:3)
He is rebuilding you, and as He does, He will also call you to build and rebuild. Pay attention to what He reveals. Some projects will need to be laid down, while others will require your full focus. Trust the process and avoid comparison or pressure to overcommit.
NEW RELATIONAL ALIGNMENTS
This month, new alignments are forming. These connections will be pure and will strengthen you instead of robbing you, as in the past. The Lord is realigning people with divine partnerships that will bring support, encouragement, and true heart knitting.
Trust the Holy Spirit to highlight the relationships that will propel you forward and help you fulfill your calling.
