Surge Word 2024

25th August 2024

“Everything is lining up”

“I was praying yesterday and I heard “Surge, Surge, Surge”.

I heard it again in my heart during worship ‘Surge’ and I hear it now and I will say it under the anointing:

“Those who need a SHIFT, we’re about to step over into a new month, new season. The latter is always better than the former. It’s a game of two halves”.

I hear it in my spirit: “There is a Shift and a Surge coming”.

“Surge means ‘a sudden and great increase’. A sudden increase! Not just a increase but a great increase of mobility and strength, finances and resources, and people”.

“We’re stepping over into a new month where everything that needs to be shifted will be shifted. If it needs to be shaken before it’s shifted let it be shaken, but we are moving into a surge of increase, in the Name of Jesus”

“A sudden increase of whatever needs to be increased”

“An increase of clarity, an increase of vision, an increase of answers, of resources, clients. I declare it over the great congregation, in the Name of Jesus”

“A great increase in Jesus Name. A strong wave-like forward movement is going to sweep in. A wave-like volume, or body of something”.

“Who can see this place this body surge. No slumps, no ups and downs. I believe we can see this place, this body surge”

“What God can do in the next few months in this community can out-shine what He has done in the last decade of this ministry, because we serve a God who can”.

“God has empowered us to move mountains, so speak with words of faith “be removed and be cast into the sea, not doubting in our hearts but believing those things we say, we shall have what we say”.

“All things are possible to those who believe. So I say over you today, and I say over us as a word of instruction “keep the switch of faith turned on””

“Don’t speak lack, don’t speak decrease, don’t speak depressive thoughts, thoughts may come but don’t vocalise them. Speak the Truth, increase is ours, we are growing in strength, getting wiser, we are walking in greater stature, God is doing a mighty thing”.

“Get ready for the surge! Get Ready for the Surge!”

To begin this week of prayer and fasting let’s pray,

“Father God, we thank you for this week of prayer. We began yesterday morning reminded of the parable of the sower and the soil that produces. We commit to take action in prayer with our faith, we are not only believers but do-ers of Your Word and we are led by Your Spirit. In Jesus Name, Amen.”

We thank God for a powerful fruitful time of prayer this week. Last night in the evening service we were reminded that we are strong, dressed for battle, to stand in the gap and use our supernatural armour for spiritual battle (not against flesh and blood) and call for justice (Isa 59:15,16) in the role of intercession. We were also reminded of the word of God spoken through Pastor Joel, “Get ready for the Surge”.

Prayer is a work of faith. The prayer of intercession is a prayer full of faith and it works with authority (In Christ) to deal with two kinds of promises – 1. the written Word of God and 2. the Prophetic Word of God (1 Tim 1:18).

Prayer and faith move God, and God moves mountains. E. M. Bounds

Eph 6:10 – 18

Monday

Our focus in prayer as a ministry today is to believe for an awakening unto God and an outpouring (a SURGE) of justice and righteousness and we target not only our region and our local areas, but specifically schools and places of education in our nation, we target specifically the young people and the next generation going into these places and stand in the gap for them and call for justice in the places of education.

Isaiah 54:13, Philippians 1:6, Psalm 112:2, Jeremiah 29:11

Tuesday

Our focus in prayer today is ‘Discernment’, we are praying for an increase of clarity. Part of the word of the Lord through Pastor Joel on the 25th August was “An increase of clarity, an increase of vision and an increase of answers”. Today we are praying and asking Holy Spirit to mark out straight paths for every believer, for everything to line up to God’s divine plan. Relationships to align, finances to align, world leaders, kings and queens to align. Alignment with the plan of God in Jesus Name.

Philippians 1 v 9 – 10, Paul prays “and this is my prayer: that your love may abound more andmore in knowledge and depth of insight (vision) so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ”.

Wednesday

Our focus in prayer today is “Eyes to see”. When the Holy Spirit reveals the mysteries of the Spirit there is a swift and the switch of faith is turned on. We are praying for a ‘surge of seeing’ to know how to possess the promise and move forward into all God has for the church of Jesus Christ in the nation. 

Ephesians 1 v 18 (NLT): “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called – His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance”.

Thursday

Our target in prayer today is “a sudden and great increase”. We heard on the 25th of August concerning a sudden increase, that “whatever needs to be increased” will increase.

When we seek first the Kingdom of God, we believe ALL needs are supplied according to God’s glorious riches which we have in Christ. There is a great return of spiritual seeds sown and that fruit will increase greatly and even suddenly, in Jesus Name.

Thank God for His word!

Luke 6:38

Phili 4:17-19

John 8:32

Isaiah 10:27

Matthew 9:38

Hebrews 13:21

Friday

Our target in prayer today is for believers to walk out the Word. We pray for renewed boldness and commitment to walk in the Word. The Word produces, it is The Incorruptible Seed, the Living Word, the Word of Truth abiding in our spirits. That Seed is growing mightily in us, producing God’s nature, and life. We boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation—the living Word of God! Amen.
