JAN 5: 2020
Theme: Net Prophets
Prompt came through Esther asking if we had a theme and talking about the nets not breaking in context of capacity. Took it to the Lord in prayer and got a strong sense of yes, pray men.
Partners with Answers – the Biblical nets were such that they were designed for use by teams of fishermen working from a boat. (Image on Screen)
During the fast, keynote prophetic word was taking the land: on reflection we could add to that, taking the sea!
Matt 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth"
Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.
All part of having dominion
Genesis 1:26-28 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Revelation 1:6 “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
