Text Box: In February 2003, the late Kenneth E. Hagin prophesied that the year 2004 will be a year of more for the body of Christ. Many other ministers confirmed this and declared the year as one in which God wants to pour out more on His people. I believe this absolutely and I’m expecting its fulfillment in my life and ministry . I know it will not just happen without me lifting a finger. I will be required to take responsibility to see it fulfilled.
  
Think about it. Previously, I believed that once a respected and anointed minister declared something in the spirit over my life, it will automatically come to pass no matter what I did. Now, I know that this is unscriptural. II Chronicles 20:20 lets us know that we must consciously exercise our faith in God and His prophets.
      “ ….Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” 

In fact, Paul the apostle tells us in I Timothy 1:18 that we must wield those prophetic declarations as swords in the battles of life. 

         “This charge I commit unto thee, 
         son Timothy, according to the 
         prophecies which  went before on 
         thee, that thou by them 
          mightest war good warare;”

So, receiving more in 2004 will require some fighting. You must not lie down and accept whatever the year brings. You must make demands according to the word of God. You have been given dominion by God. That means you have control over Text Box: your situations and circumstances. Nothing can stop you from receiving the promises of God’s word if  will do your part and stand throughout the year. Here are some quick tips to maximizing the year.

Set Practical, God- 
Inspired Goals for the Year.

     Prov 29:18 tells us that:

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 

The Young’s Literal Translation renders this verse this way,

    “Without a vision is a people made       
     naked, And whoso is  keeping the 
     Law, O his  happiness!”

In other words, without a revelation of the future, without a mental picture of a future state, God’s people are stripped of the glory that belongs to them.  God doesn’t want you to live as a wandering generality in 2004 but as a meaningful specific. He wants to show you specific things that ought to be accomplished in your life this year. Any game that requires scoring goals must be played with the goal posts in place. It doesn’t matter how skillful the players are or how interesting the game is, if the goal posts are not there, it will still not be meaningful.

Get into position to receive these goals. Watch and pray! Pay attention to your desires, promptings and inclinations. Judge them with the Word and use them as the targets you will divert your energy Text Box: Scoring “More” Goals in 2004
