Many of you have heard us refer to "Gulliver's Year" and have been asking, "where did that come from?" and "tell me what that means." Well, here you go...Enjoy!
During one of our prayer gatherings in November, Mary McWilliams was stirred powerfully with the thought of the Church, especially here in America, "waking up" and "shaking herself" free from stupor and fear and complacency. Dr. Stuart Quartemont immediately saw an image of Gulliver, strapped to the sand by the Lilliputians, rising easily and gently to his full height - not to harm the Lilliputians, mind you, but to literally come to their rescue. All of us in attendance quickly confirmed the fun power behind this thought, and it has become an expectation and declaration for the new year. Holy Spirit has helped me to fill in some gaps and create a short language for this word that is guiding my faith as I meditate on "Gulliver's Year."
It is time for the Church to pick up the mantle of Christ more fully and rise to the rescue of the world. Creation groans and cries out for us to be realized for who we are: the safe and powerful children of the Most High God, called to bless the earth and its inhabitants into a supernatural movement in the direction of His will, to the glory of His Name!
2017: "Gulliver's Year"
This will be a year of:- Shaking off slumber and sloth.
- Shedding fears and insecurities.
- Surrendering fully to the person and passions of Christ.
- Standing tall and strong, confident in the Holy Spirit.
- Stepping into our identity as our Daddy King's giants of faith and power.
- Shouting out boldly our praise and prayers and proclamations of faith.
- Supernaturally serving God's family and the lost around us with great love and care.
Join us in rising from the sands of false bondage to function in the supernatural grace of God on behalf of His kingdom and His children - both the lost and the found.
Forever panning for gold,
Chris Liotta
