Sometimes it can feel, as we walk  this path of life, the road can get a little dry! For many it seemed as if  2011 had it’s share of dusty roads but that 2012 is leading us into the land of His promised fulfilled.

Now it's time to shake the dust off our feet, the dust of disappointment and despair.  It's time to entrust everything that was, into His hands, and to move forward with Him into all that is ahead.

We pray that the following revelation, insights and prayers from one of our amazing team members, would be a blessing to you this month as you move off the dusty roads, onto the path of promised fulfilled!

' "There is a Promise coming down your Dusty Road' was a popular song back in the 90’s one in fact that I personally loved and wanted so desperately to believe for myself in that particular period of my life. To be honest it was a season where I could have identified more with the song 'Another one bites the dust'.

It has been years since I have heard or even thought about this song until just this last couple of weeks. I sensed the Lord was speaking to me through this song and I believe both corporately and personally we can lay hold to the words of this song that say the following:

There’s a promise coming down your dusty road. 
From His holy hands, healing virtue flow, 
He’s got the keys to what you need, death and hell He will defeat, 
There’s a promise coming down your dusty road.

The song goes on to tell the story about Jiriahs daughter and how she died at only 12 years old. To me this speaks of so many things dying prematurely and how that is not the plan of God. In fact He wants to show you a miracle and have them resurrected.

I felt the Lord was saying that we are now in a season where we must spit the dust out of our mouths and begin to declare a new thing with no hindrance. I believe we are to shake the dust off of our boots for this is a new place where we stand and He is doing a new thing and there is His ressurection life in what He initiates.

For some of us we have eaten what I would call “beggars dust” where for so long it seems like we have been begging for mercy and grace and have spent a lot of time because of the past believing we don’t deserve His promises or we shouldn’t believe for more.

I prayed that if there is anything in or over your lives personally that you would feel you weren’t a candidate for the full promises of God that He would show you His truth and His resurrection life would breath into these areas.

I have to say that for some, it is hard to comprehend when things have remained the same for so long, we wonder if we can ever see the change. For all the ways you may have lost sight of the promises of God for your lives, I pray that you have a fresh renewed vision for every detail of your lives , family, marriage, business and ministry.

I am praying that if there are areas where you need to spit the dust out of your mouth, or shake the dust off of your boots this would be revealed and that you would do it.  I prayed against any curses that would cause you more to identify with “another one bites the dust” rather than there is hope, there is a promise, there is a man on a mission coming down your dusty road. 

I have contended for you for all the promises of God for your lives and your children. They are YES and AMEN! I am praying that this season would be full of the resurrection life of all the dreams and plans God has for you right for this particular time!” 


And to all she has prayed, for each of you, we add our agreement and our faith.  May this be your best year ever -  your year of promises come to pass!

It seems so poignant somehow on the  last days of the year as we look back to all that was thinking of and thanking Him for all that He has done -then stand on the threshold of a brand new year, these first precious days  filled with hope as we turn our gaze ahead to all that is to come.  For us here at Divine Exchange as we look back over this past year our hearts are filled with thanksgiving for each one of you and the blessing that it has been to walk together with Him this past year.

We have had the privilege of standing with some amazing men and women who are serving God in many areas of culture and impact for the King and for His Kingdom.  We have had the privilege of serving with an amazing team of men and women who have served so well in that place of prayer. 

This morning at our house here in Northern Vermont we are surrounded by robins.  A very rare sight in December and a treat to see along with the cardinals and bluejays.  I have been giving thanks to God this morning for the year that was, thinking of you and carrying each of  you in my heart today with great thanksgiving.  I have been praying blessings ahead for you as well – sending grace into the days to come, spiritual blessings, favour and strength.

Perhaps the robins today represent the new season as we so often see them as a sign that spring is here.  Though in the natural winter is all around, in Him and with Him, a new season and a new year begins! We  pray that it will be one where we will hear His call to come away with Him, to rest and lean upon Him, to dwell in His house at the banqueting table He has prepared for us receiving His protection, provision and His comfort.  A season of being sustained, refreshed and embraced by His hand, sheltered in the cleft of the rock, surrounded by the sound of His voice. Seeing His lovely face more clearly, hearing His sweet voice as never before, and walking with Him in perfect harmony and rightness of step in ways that would astound and surprise us. (Song of Solomon 2) 

We pray blessings ahead for all.  Blessings to rise up and meet you in every day and in the most amazing ways in 2012.  We pray that at the end of the year  we can look back and see His hand of blessing, His gracious and tender care, His bountiful provision. That we can and will proclaim with great joy over our homes, our lives and our families – surely the Lord is in this place! We know every day will be filled with signs of His goodness and His grace and His mercies will be new each day.  Because of Who He is, with great confidence we can declare that we will see  His great kindness and love, His steadfast faithfulness and His hand of blessing over all.

Thank you again for who you are, for all you do.   We stand with you, walk beside you, and pray to prepare the way for promises fulfilled.  May His great love and grace go ahead of you as we see His Kingdom come, His will be done, His government established and His great Name glorified in all the earth!  

Happiest of New Years to you!
