In preparing for Annual Conference and the new year ahead of us I kept hearing "more" and "much more".

I asked God specifically, "What do you see for TMCI in the future?" I wanted to share with you the word the Lord gave me, which I preached at the annual conference. It is available on DVD and Audio, but I wanted to share it in writing.  Below you can read His prophetic response.

As you know, the Annual conference theme this year was
"Abiding in the Vine."

John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words (Rhema) abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you NKJV. 
I believe that God is calling us to abide more so that He can direct us and direct our ministries.
 
Jesus said in Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. NKJV.

This scripture reminds me of two things.
One: Christ wants to build a relationship with us. He keeps knocking.
Two: We have to open the door and let him in to build that relationship.  There is a difference between eating and dining. Dine means to linger, to take one's time to enjoy the event. That's what Christ wants to do with us. He does not want to go through a Mcdonald's drive-through with us. He wants to spend quality white tablecloth time with us.   
 
The most important thing I learned is that, when I spend time with Christ, I hear his voice. His voice through the Holy Spirit must direct me. Matt 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" NKJV. Rhema means spoken word, (not Logos which is the written word.)  It is important to know the written word of God because Rhema word never contradicts the written Word. It is his spoken word that must abide in you so that you will understand Christ's desires and you not act or ask incorrectly. We must get a rhema word daily.

I asked God specifically what do you see for TMCI in the future?  
This was His prophetic response to me:

• If you follow my voice and my word, if you are faithful to listen to my instructions, much will happen.
• TMCI ministries will grow with fervent strength. I will empower them to dream bigger and give them the resources to accomplish the vision I have given them.
• There will be more souls given and more disciples made and a strong pocket of spiritual awakening where ever they walk.
• It will be my power, my Holy Spirit working through them. If they set out to do good religious activities, they will fail; their strength and their ministry will wither.
• It is my empowerment that will bring them victory. More abiding, deeper abiding will bring more revelation and deeper revelation that will result in creating more spiritual awakening and increase my kingdom on earth.
• It will be a fresh wind that is blowing, it will refresh all who are listening and abiding. No longer will my people struggle against futile things.
• They will release life and revelation into the lives of people they meet. They will speak to strangers and will speak truth into their lives.
• No longer will my people will be weak, but strong in me as they abide with me deeper and deeper.
• You say I am abiding. I say go deeper. There is much more. Much will happen in your life as you release all of yourself to me.
• Do not hold back, release all your thoughts and dreams to me, and I will bring forth more fruit that you ever dreamed in your life.
• It is not what you think, it is what I know that is in you that I want to release.
• Do not put me in a box. I, who know how many apples are in the seed, know all the fruit that is in you and will bring it out, if you let me.
• It is not about what you want, it is what I want. Let me put my desire in your heart and mind and I will accomplish it through you.
• Give yourself to me. My yoke is easy, but you struggle against it with your will.
• Do not tire yourself out with religious activity. Follow my instruction and your ministry will be easy and strong.
• This is truly the abundant life when you allow me to work through you. Be blessed!  Let him who has an ear listen. Thus says the Lord.

Lord give us spiritual ears to hear,
