Dr. Jonathan David
Say this – 2023 is a Redefining Year, the turning point of my life, the tipping point where the Church will build and make a difference.
2023 is a Redefining Year. It is a turning point for many things. It is going to be the tipping point. The place where you and I will have an unfair advantage over the devil, over all his plans and all that he has sown among God’s people.
For that reason, God has given us a special area where we need to touch this year – Increase our territorial influence in and through the Church family and the last word I saw was – We are family. We are one.
That’s why in All Nations Sanctuary
- Prophecies are declared
- Prayers are answered
- Healings are demonstrated
- Truth is proclaimed
- Demons are defeated
- Circumstances are changed
- Minds and lives are transformed
- Communities are influenced
- Cities are impacted
Muar will never be the same again. Nations will be taken. Taken from corruption to righteousness. So, it’s an amazing year. God has given us an important domain through which to touch God’s people – Families. That is God’s strategy for us. If you look at our Mission Statement, the Prophetic word for the year 2022 to 2024, this year is a Redefining year. We are going to increase territorial influence in our assigned domain in and through our families – the Church family, your family, my family, and our grandchildren’s family. God is going to use us. In our seed, all the families of the earth will be blessed. There is a seed of God in us which is a victorious seed that will bruise the head of the serpent even though the serpent will bruise His heel. There is a price to pay for that seed to be manifest. But after having said all this, I want you to remember – 2023 is a Redefining Year.
- Things will become clearer and clearer
- The revelation truth will come simpler and simpler for us to understand
- What was difficult before will be easy
- What was tough before will be easy
It is easy for us because God has done a deep work in the seed, and that seed is Christ. That seed is a violent seed. It cannot allow the enemy to continue as he wants. We often say enough is enough. But the devil does not know what is enough. It’s time to get rid of him and see the seed in us become a star seed. The promise of God for the nation of Israel was three types of seeds. One was the dust of the earth, the other the sand of the seashore, and finally the star seed. So we are not part of dust, we are not part of sand, we are part of the star. The star seed is a special seed. It is fixed in heaven. Its position cannot be challenged. You know it is up in the sky. When your mother gave birth to you, I am sure she sang this song to you – Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Because we don’t realize this – every child is a gift of God; you are a gift from Him so you can be a gift to society. God doesn’t make spare parts.
This is a special year; a year like no other. It is a tipping point. At some point, the outcome will change. When you are at the turning point then supernatural things begin to happen because you are at the right place at the right time, meet the right people and hear the right message. Bible says – when she heard about Jesus, she said to herself – If I only touch His garments, I will get well. But she had been seeing the doctors for 12 years. The old message is going to keep you in the old ways. You live by the old instead of living by the new. The new is inside us. In you, all the nations of the earth will be blessed. So you will be a source of blessing to society. But each child is a gift of God. No matter how young your son may be or your daughter may be, it does not matter. God has put His potential inside them. Something is inside them that will make a difference.
Over the last 2 ½ – 3 years, the Covid 19 and the aftermath of tragedies happened after that. The Church was the last one. People began to be shaken. Pastors began to be shaken. Unsure. Uncertain. This is a Redefining year for us. It is a tipping point. You will do significant things that will change the environment. You won’t be normal. Forget about normal life. We are not going back to the norm. The world has changed. So must the Church! If as a Church we want to make a difference, it is important for us to agree with God’s word. No matter how you read the matter, it is not right because you read with knowledge. Knowledge will increase, but the knowledge we want to see an increase in is the knowledge of the Glory of God that covers the earth like the waters cover the sea. Knowledge of the glory and that glory is in you. That’s why this year is a special year. We are redefining every aspect of our lives.
Redefine what family is – not man and man, man and woman. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. So we have to understand every aspect of our lives will change. This is the turning point of our lives. No matter how much the devil has taken out of your life, it is time for restoration. Time for God’s release and the Church will be making a difference. That’s why we got to rebuild the domain of families. When we talk about families and Church we are talking about a strategy; the domain that God released for us. People ask me what is the Word of the Lord for 2023. I say we have two dimensions. This year is very special. We are not only defined by the prophetic word that God is saying throughout the world but also by the prophetic word we hear on the ground. That means, he who hears what the Holy Spirit is saying to the churches. What you hear must be in line with what God is saying throughout the world because there is only one world.
I am going to give you things that will change the position of the church and give you the tipping power. The tipping point is the point of change where you start, where you break forth. The tipping point is also the place where the weight of Glory rests on your side, devastation, and destruction on the enemy side. I want to make our Church a strong base so that Jetliners and Jets can come and refuel. That’s why ANS is different. It’s not a mega Church. It’s an Omega Church. Alpha and Omega. We are different. There are things I would like you to hear from God yourself to build a church that will make a difference. At a certain point, you have an unfair advantage over the enemy. And you have an unbelievable abounding grace of God.
- The Church will have to be intensively feeling passionate in heart and spirit
If the Church is going to make a difference, if the Church is really going to see a turnaround, see your circumstances change, something must happen in your heart.
There is no change without you changing
That is why our spirit has to be passionate. We have to pursue what our God-passion is. Some people have a passion to be a doctor. I don’t have that passion. I don’t even want to be a patient. I feel that it is important for us to know that no change means no victory. The change is inside. You know intensely passionate. Lust is a passion gone wrong. You know you can love somebody and lust for other people. Love is pure, love is precious, love is holy, love is passionate. Sometimes we think everything is supernatural and miraculous and we don’t have to do anything. In fact, it was plain water in 6 empty jars that Jesus turned into wine.
It takes the natural to bring forth the supernatural
Now you must be prepared to leave the old and pursue the new. Why do people have great lives? Because they see a great God inside them, in their hearts, in their lives just like in the families all the earth will be blessed. The Church will have to be intensively passionate in heart and spirit for worship. This God factor will separate the true church from the false because God’s presence will come down when there is passion.
What is passion?
It is a needed dynamic for continuity
It is the engine that keeps going on when everything else stops. This is the one that gives you the power to finish strong. Passion! Without passion, every job will come to a standstill. “With passion”- will become the advantage point. God wants us to be clear so that when there is passion in our hearts, the work will not stop. The Bible talks about God’s zeal. It does not talk about God’s passion. It says in His zeal he is watching over His word to fulfill it. When your passion becomes stronger and stronger your task becomes easier and easier. Do you believe that?
The difficult things become easy
The impossible things become possible
That’s why it is a special year. But for this to generate a supernatural power in our Church you must have a company of people who are passionate. If you are doing gardening you are passionate about gardening. You cannot continue if other people are passionate and you are not. Give you free vegetables? No! That’s not our idea. It’s that you will grow your own and multiply it. We show the example.
- The Church will have to be accurately built to become God’s habitation
We must treat this place with holy respect. The power of placement! God always made a place first before He made people. He made a garden. Then he made Adam out of the garden. So He put you in a certain place so that you can grow and mature and become a habitation for God. Why do people have idols? It is supposed to attract spirits. Have the right things in our hearts? God can come and live inside. God can not only put His passion inside but live inside you! The favor of God! The Church must become a holy habitation. When we gather on Sundays, we must be able to draw God’s presence so that Heaven and Earth become one. So that what is there in the heavens will come into your family. When God is there, there is no lack. I remember one of the years the Holy Spirit was working in our church, dealing with the fear of lack where people think, “Oh! I won’t have enough! Oh! I don’t have enough steam! I don’t have enough strength!” We must not have a fear of lack. Jesus said you follow Me all the while, have you lacked anything? They lacked nothing. Because we become a Holy habitation, God will come and reside inside of us. It’s essential. It’s not just a meeting place. That’s why you must love to come to Church. Whether I speak or not speak, it doesn’t matter but being in the presence of God does. I thirst like a thirsty deer. As a deer panteth for the water brooks. We want to capture the Presence of God. Your house must have such an environment that the Holy Spirit can come in. Welcome the Holy Spirit! If you desire your body to become the temple of the Holy Spirit then you will build well. If somebody very important is coming to your house, somebody that you really love, you will give them the best of the house, you will clean the house and prepare the house. In the same way, welcome the Father who lives within us. We can capture the Presence of God. His favor is for a lifetime.
We got to build the house so that the God of the house can live inside what we build
David wanted to build God a house. He made plans. Finally, God said to him – you are not the one to build the house, your son will build it. Many times we have built it for the people, the meetings, for needs but what we need to know is that we are building for Him so we can attract the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit comes down to Muar where will He go to? Which institution will He go to? It better be us.
- The Church must be baptized in the Spirit of Truth
If the Church is going to make a difference and become the tipping point and the turning point in the Redefining year, the Church has to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth. In the area of politics, in the area of health, in the area of wealth, there is no shortage of lies. Everything that you see is not what it really is. You see politics and how fast it changes behind the scenes. Love truth with all your heart, soul, and strength because truth sets you free. It not only makes you intelligent, but it also makes you free. That’s why the freer you are, you can do the work. If you are not free how are you going to do the work? If you are not well how are you going to serve? That’s why no matter what it is if I can stand stable, I’ll be here.
- The Church will have to be a prophetic voice of hope for a better future
In these uncertain times, we have to overcome the crisis and the catastrophes that come along the way. Those who know their God will do valiantly. That’s why in the midst of all of that, we were always hopeful. Mum is the most positive person I have met in my life. There’s never a time that she doesn’t have joy on her face; always hopeful. Anything can happen. Impossible can become possible. She is always there. Listen to her more so you can put hope in people’s hearts. People are devastated after the Covid 19 pandemic. People are broken mentally. People are broken emotionally. People are broken financially. You must put some hope in their hearts. Put hope in your friends. Nothing is impossible. I believe this sickness of mine will be removed in due time. Amen! Because part of my body, my lefthand side recovered so fast. It’s unbelievable even the doctors are surprised.
- The Church must have a restored voice in national affairs
The Church doesn’t want to be the first one to be persecuted. We believe our voice will be sought after. Politicians will look for the right help. The danger is we are the last one consulted but the first one to be attacked. Hate speeches and negative speeches are all part of the same mess. We must have our voice restored. The first thing you can do is pray and break through in the spirit realm. And when you touch the spirit realm great things will happen because it’s not by might not by power but by His spirit that this mountain is removed. We must put our voice up in the heavens. You see how technology works. The more you use it, the more it becomes stronger. Our voice must be heard. They will consult us on how to do this, and how to do that. In the 1900s in Los Angeles, Hollywood actors watched this preacher because of how she conducted the service and learned from the Church what to do. People accused the dominion theory of trying to push the Church into politics. But we are not pushing. I had a dream and in the dream, I apologized for being late to join the fray. They say Christians should not be involved in politics. But that’s not true.
We have the Kingdom Mandate
Whenever we talk about the Kingdom Mandate we talk about expansion and influence. That’s why the Church has been the last one coming in. Only now we are thinking about this area. We left this area to the world for so long. Now you got to take back what is yours. We got to take back our inheritance. That’s why this year our Church must change. Our thinking patterns have to change. Our commitments have to change. Our Covenant must be understood so that you really know what you should do.
There are a lot of things to thank God for. We must see the good side, the God side. That’s why things in this world will begin to change if you begin with some hope. You wake up in the morning you hope to live. You don’t hope to die. You want to live. So there’s more good talking about life than death. Death is not the final. It’s just the beginning of a new life. Death is like 31st December. You have seen the whole year. Now you get to see the beginning of a New Year. Let the old pass.
Our families got to get together so that we become stronger and become a restored voice in national affairs
I believe one day the people in this world. kings and priests, nobles, young men, and young women, will come into the house and learn from here because the law shall go forth from Zion and his commandments from Jerusalem.
