You must have received a Word for you in the previous year. But, you saw your life very different from that Word. You must have even said, “Lord, this is what you promised in the last season, and I didn’t see it happen.”
So the next year when a prophetic Word comes to you, you are wondering, “God how is this going to happen?”
Taste (And Not Test) the Word of God
Let me tell you — the problem is not from the Lord’s side. It is never from the Lord’s side because God’s Word never fails.
The real problem is when you receive a prophetic Word, you are analysing it. You are trying to test the Word of God to see whether it’s going to work.
Many of us are saying, “Let’s see how this year is going to unfold because our man or woman of God is saying that this is the prophetic Word for this year.”
But we are not supposed to test the Word; we are supposed to taste the Word of God. (Psalms 34:8)
Your Answered Prayer Glorifies God.
God in His love and compassion, completely overlooks your past, and uses men and women of God to come to you to start something fresh, and He equips you with a prophetic Word for that year.
When God says this is how it is going to be, it is a done deal from the Lord’s side. Now it is up to us.
We don’t sit and test that Word, but we take that Word, we believe God and we start running with that Word. And as we do that, we will see the manifestation of that Word.
Jesus said in John 14:13, “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Isn’t that so beautiful? That means God is saying that when your prayers are answered, He is glorified in that.
God is not fighting your desires. In fact, when you receive an answer, God’s chest swells with pride. He’s so happy. He celebrates it. So that is how important our prayers are to Jesus, and He takes it seriously.
As we are nearing 2026, when we receive a prophetic Word for the new year, let us know that when He speaks it is done. And all we need to do is believe and run with that Word.
Shalom.
