As Pastor Shelley was preparing for his final sermon in Jerusalem for this year, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to him these things which he then preached on October 10, 2004:


* 2004 is one of the most pivotal years we have ever known


* Regarding the first quarter of 2004 being a season of shutting old doors, it takes more faith to close a door then to walk through an open door!


* If you leave these old doors open, there are things that will beckon you back.   It is not too late to close old doors!


* “It’s time for My people to affix the Mezuzah to their heart (Deut. 6:4-9, 11:13-21), to bind My Word to their heart.”


* 2004 has been preparation for 2005.


* If you have let the circumstances of this year keep you from pressing in, how will you press into the next doors?   (Jer. 12:5 - If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?)


* The 4th Quarter of 2004 will be a great time of pruning in our lives in order to see the direction of the Lord for the next 4 years.   "In order for us to enter into 2005 with the right spirit, we are going to have to let the Lord cut off the dead wood.   I see some dead wood in my own life.   I'm believing that the Angel of the Lord in visiting me... I am nothing, a nobody, a no good, rotten, sinful creature in the flesh... but because of what He's done for me, then He makes us something.   It's Him in us, you know.   And I saw that Man in Linen, and I'm taking that personally as a sign that the Lord is going to help remove that dead wood in my own life."


* We should spend these last 3 months of 2004 focusing on ministering to the Lord instead of focusing on ministering to others.


* The first of the new year 2005 will be a time of excessive and accelerated new growth (after we submit our dead wood to the Pruner and let Him cut that off).


* "Some things I couldn't share yet this morning here, but I'd like to say that the Lord spoke so specifically to me and said that in 2005, the Bride is going to know the favor of the King in a way that she has not known it before.   And that she will recognize her appointed place at the King's table (like Mephibosheth getting his appointment at King David's table - 2 Sam. 9:13).   She will experience great seasons of feasting on the food of the King and be able to hear Him share secrets of the Kingdom."


* 2005 is going to be a great year of unifying His Bride and placing her in a spiritual condition where She's one.   Prophets will see eye to eye.   The Bride will begin to see the same Truth and speak the same thing.
