"Hope and Blessing for the New Year" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole
2025 has been a hard year for many, filled with sadness, disappointment, the loss of a dear family member, suffering from physical health issues or a severe setback and injustice. What does the Lord have to say about hope in the midst of these hard things? Ps. 66:8-12 describes a prayer of declaration in the midst of harsh trials and a promise of blessing. "Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, who keeps our soul among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved. For You, O God, have proved us; You have refined us as silver is refined, You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our back, You have caused men to ride over our heads, we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out to rich fulfillment." "God be merciful to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us. " (Is. 67:1) This is our prayer and declaration for 2026 - that God will secure us in His care and blessing and bring us into rich fulfillment. (abundance) Buy God On Trial

0:24 Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul. Father God, we thank you that this war has ended because you have won, even though as you defeated Satan on the cross and rose from the dead. So thank you for this year. Thank you for the revelation of the new year to come. We praise you and bless you and thank you that you have offered and allowed us to enter into this new year, 2026. And we thank you, Lord, for the grace, the wisdom, the counsel, the direction of God that you give us discerning of spirits and wisdom that we would not be caught off guard or deceived. We thank you, Lord, for the divine protection over our families, over all that pertains to us because this is war. So we're asking that no weapon formed against us will prosper.
1:07 We know that you are faithful to complete the work you have begun in us. So let each one be encouraged in this matter, in the promises of God, because it is faith in the promises of God as Abraham knew that was counter-tempered righteousness. Lord, let us believe you and follow you, Father, in Jesus' name, in this new year, 2026. Hey, hope in the new year. Is there any hope for this new year? Oh, all kinds of hope. Yeah? Well, you know, wait a minute, though. Before you look at the new year, look at the old year. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of people listening tonight or tomorrow or whenever they're listening that have had some setbacks and disappointments. Oh, yeah, and tragedies, heartbreaks.
1:48 Yeah, loss of loved ones. I mean, every year is full of these kinds of challenges and trials and tribulations. Some of them are expected. Some of them are not. But, you know, they create a lot of anxiety and fear in people, hope deferred, and all of that. So the loss of opportunity, the loss of suffering. And, you know, some people, the biggest suffering, I think, for a lot of people is the super injustices that have happened this year. You see a lot of people hurting, violent attacks upon people, senseless destruction of life, liberty, and, you know, property, whatnot. Yeah, the world is just saturated with injustice, probably like never before. So now we set our hearts, our eyes on the promises of God, because God is the one who blesses us and keeps us and causes us to walk in that place of life and hope.
2:40 And, you know, with God, there is that hope. That's the only place we can find it. So, yeah. So where do we look for this hope? Well, I just think of, you know, as we reflect on this past year, you know, a lot of things that we hoped for and were expecting maybe didn't happen. Some did, some didn't. Things sometimes can change tragically so quickly. And Proverbs 13, 12, it says, hope deferred makes the heart sick. But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. And when the Bible is talking about hope, it's talking about, well, I hope everything works out. It's not talking about that. It's a hope that it's an anticipation.
3:22 It's an expectation or confidence in God, in the promises of God. Because you put your trust in other people totally and it's not going to work. But you have that anticipation, and it's not in vain. It's a sure hope that we have in the Lord because the Lord, Jesus Christ, is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and he's right there with us all the time. That's exactly the point. We have to know that we know that we're not alone. And in this world of isolation, disconnections, all of the things that the enemy's trying to do to separate us from one another, from ourselves, and even from God, We need to know that God has not changed.
4:06 He is the same yesterday, today, forever. He's a good God. He says blessings and peace, even in the angelic announcement to the shepherds, peace, goodwill towards men. So we have got... Opportunities and options here. We can look at the hope deferred. We can look at the negative. And you know, that's really tempting to do because it's so easy to just rehearse the negative, the problem, the thing that didn't work last time and why should it work this. And we have the power, there's death in life and the power of the tongue. And so a lot of times, this is probably a good place to start is in the mouth. Because with our mouth, we say, well, it never works. It's never going to work.
4:47 You know, it didn't work. You know, whatever the negative curse you're putting on something is removing a blessing. And so, the blessing comes from trusting God, declaring goodness. Like, when the Old Testament, you know, patriarchs bless their children, for example. Jacob in Genesis chapter 49. Yeah. And Moses. It's a good thing to read. He was giving prophetic words and blessing over all his children. And you know, those things came to pass. But you know, nowadays, it's sad beyond words that we don't even have fathers, many of us, and you don't have a father that will bless you. And this is really a vital, important part of life, is that you find someone in your world that will speak a blessing over you.
5:29 And if you can't find anybody, speak it over yourself. Read the Word of God over yourself. But the reason we don't do that so many times is because we don't understand what's really going on in our lives. And I think Psalm 66 is a pretty good example of, you know, a good summation of what goes on. He starts this Psalm 66, verse 1, "...make a joyful shout to God, all the earth." Sing out the honor of his name. Make his praise glorious. Say to God, how awesome are your works. Through your greatness of your power, your enemies shall submit themselves to you. Now, how many of us start out our day with that? No, oh no, I've got to do this. I got to do that. I'm running late. You know, am I going to have enough time to get here and this and doing?
6:11 So he's talking about blessing God. And you know, when you want God to bless you, it's good to praise and bless him. But he says in verse five, come and see all the works of the Lord. He is awesome in his doings towards the sons of men. Is this our attitude? To receive a blessing, you have to be prepared to receive that blessing. And I just love this way it goes, because this is this Psalm 66, is root 66, you can remember it there, you know, verse 8, oh, bless God, all you people, and make his voice, the voice of his praise to be heard. So again, he's talking about praise. Now it says, he keeps our soul among the living. So we've all been kept this year in the land of the living, among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.
6:55 Well, some of us may feel like we've slipped into a pit somewhere, but God is your answer to get out of that pit. He is the way. Jesus is the way. But here, listen to this, verse 10. For you, O God, have proved us. You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net. You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads. We went through the fire and through the water, but you have brought us out into rich fulfillment. So the whole purpose and process here of allowing us to be stretched and tested and chastened and all of the things that Satan loves to do and turn it over and make it look like God is doing this to us, but God is permitting it that we might grow, that we might be qualified, you know, to receive, enlarged, to receive this blessing.
7:44 This life is not a 50-yard dash or a 100-yard dash. It's a marathon. You know, it's a long-term thing, and the thing is, Hebrews 12. Keep running. You know, keep looking to Jesus. And just keep moving forward with what he is giving you to do. Praise God and bless him, because when you declare those good things over your life, there's death and life in your tongue. If you declare good things, this is going to be a great day. I know that God has got this under control. I'm not going to worry. I declare that thy kingdom come, thy will be done. These kinds of pronouncements, you know, people are too quiet in their own lives about themselves and about what they declare. because they don't realize the power of their words.
8:30 Yeah, it's just like we shoot ourselves in the foot spiritually with our words. We say, well, it is what it is. Oh, everybody's getting sick. I guess I feel some symptoms too. It's like we bring it on ourselves. Well, it's negative. It's negativity, and negativity is not from heaven. I will bless the Lord at all times. Yes, great. His praise shall continually be in my mouth, and that's something we can all do. This year. Everything that has breath, praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. So if you're breathing, you need to be praising God. Well, you know, not only that, but if you're happy and not negative, your body's going to be percolating a lot better, breathing a lot better, more hope going on. Your system isn't overwhelmed and pressed down with all of these negative words.
9:14 And, you know, it's really, to me, as I'm getting older. I'm really, I can't be around too much negativity and people who are, Or, well, you know, it's got to be, you know, God says, yeah, there's a lot of bad stuff out there. You can focus on that all day long. You can scroll through that all day long. Rabbit trail after rabbit trail after rabbit trail into the evil. Or you can read the Word of God and know that even in all this muck and misery, God has got a plan and a purpose. So if he's allowing Satan to test us why, so that you may be approved and refined as silver is refined. He's, you know, God is the deliverer. Satan is the one who sets us in the pit.
9:55 God is the one who rescues us from that pit. And the thing is, too, in the midst of all this, I mean, the fact is, listen, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Psalm 23, I will fear no evil. And that's the thing, too, is there's fear on every side. Oh, anxiety. From the Weather Channel to the internet, everything. It's just fear, fear, fear. And God says no. It's so heavy. It's so heavy. It's so heavy, the words, the words. And so you have to kind of turn that stuff off. Don't listen to the Weather Channel. They're just pumping anxiety into the atmosphere. You know, they're dumping this pollution on us. There's a sinkhole right around the corner, careful.
10:42 You know, it's like, my goodness. You know, how does David say it? He kind of like cheers himself up in the Lord. Yeah, David encouraged himself in the Lord. And sometimes, you know, you don't have people around you patting you on your back. Maybe they're stabbing you on the back instead of patting you on the back. Yeah, yeah. But you can encourage yourself in the Lord. How do we do that? Lord, you've got a purpose in all this. You're faithful. You're bringing me through all this. Well, here's a good encouragement. At the end of Psalm 66, verse 16, he says, Come and hear all you who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
11:22 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. That means I praised him. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the lord will not hear me okay let's stop there for just a second if i regard iniquity hostility bitterness revenge resentment negative offense if i if i regard these things in my heart, the iniquity, whether it's a sin that's been committed against you or something that you're feeling bad and guilty for doing yourself, if you're regarding that your heart is going to be heavy and broken and feel unworthy of receiving God's blessings. He says, so here's the way we enter into the new year is to get rid of the junk that we have been dealing with all year, which is unforgiveness, bitterness, hostile words.
12:07 If people have said words against you, if they've treated you unkindly, if they rejected you, betrayed you, ripped you off, walked out of your life, whatever they have done, the best thing you can do for yourself is forgive them. Just release them from your judgment. Say, God, this is your judgment. You're the judge. I'm coming to heaven as the plaintiff and presenting my case. Jesus knows the whole story. He is a faithful witness. I'm forgiving them. That means I release them from my judgment. You will not even believe how much better you're going to feel if you just open your mouth and say, God, I forgive them. And that doesn't mean you have to say, okay, well, that's fine. They just raped me and ripped me off, and that's fine because I'm a Christian and I can't get mad at anybody.
12:49 No, it means now you're going to go to the real judge. You're going to go to the real court. You're going to get some real justice. And with that, if you trust God that he's good all the time and he doesn't waver in his justice or righteousness and that he executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed, then you can rest your case and you can turn it over and let Jesus Christ testify on your behalf so you don't have to even defend yourself. And you can realize and receive that revelation of God's forgiveness. And once you know that, then you can ask the Lord to remove the demonic judgments Satan has put upon your health, your heart, your relationships, your finances, because what Satan does is he gets us to feel bad and guilty and then he judges us, putting his demonic judgment upon us for feeling bad and guilty as if it's a penalty because we're to blame.
13:36 And so the demonic judgments weigh us down. So you can't get justice until you get rid of the lies, and forgive the people and get it into the court of heaven. Right now is the perfect time to get rid of all the clutter. And sometimes clutter creeps into our houses, creeps into our garages, in our yards or whatever, into our minds. Our car trunks. The clutter of bitterness, the clutter of fear, the clutter of past mistakes. Or regrets. Regrets being haunted by past mistakes. Release those to the Lord. You know what? But people who live in regret, they live in the past. People who live in anxiety, worry about the future, they live in the future. But we don't have grace to live in the future, and we don't have grace to deal with the past.
14:20 All we really have grace to do right now, and it's not that hard. To live right now. In the moment, in this moment. That doesn't mean you don't plan. You know, you got some food in the cupboard for tomorrow. It doesn't mean you don't plan things. It just means that you're living, rejoicing, drinking in the moment, taking all the grace and goodness and joy and peace and hope. And blessing and victory out of this moment that you can squeeze out of it because this is the moment. And then once you do that, then this is going to be a good moment for you to turn back and look at and you say, I like that. That was good. Let's do that again. Let's live like that. Bible says God has pleasure in the prosperity of a servant. It doesn't mean he's going to make you multimillionaire overnight or anything.
15:06 Prosperity means there's a fullness. There's a fullness of joy, that your needs are met, and he gives abundance of grace and strength and peace and joy. Well, and he's notâ Other people need that because we haveâhe wants us to have abundance. I think bodyâI know, body, soul, and spirit. Abundant life. Isn't that he said, I've died to come that you might have life and life more abundantly? So if we have fullness, fullness of joy, was it? And at his right hand, our pleasures are forevermore. Yeah, the fullness of joy. People need that overflow of joy. Yeah, it's a discipline, though. It's a discipline because you know what? We have been programmed to be negative, down, oppressed, heavy, weary, sick, tired, fatigued, all these things.
15:51 And part of that comes from the way we live and treat our bodies and the things we eat. We get all just worn out. And then you go back to the diet, lose five pounds. Then you put yourself under another legalistic bondage. if we would just rejoice in God, eat the food He set before us, and especially the food He's prescribed for us, you know, go back to Genesis and check out what it is, and just be thankful, rejoice, and live in the grace that He gives you for this moment. Sufficient, He says, unto the day is the evil thereof. He says, and as thy strength, so shall thy day be. So God is strength for the upright, and you can have a victorious conquering year, but you cannot rejoice. Look at things with your eyes, or go with the way it feels, or what people are saying, you have to go with what you know, and that comes out of knowing what you know in your spirit from the Word of God.
16:42 So, the soul and the spirit don't always see things the same way. Back to Proverbs 13, 12, where it says, Hope deferred makes the heart sick, and when the desire comes, it's the tree of life. A lot of us, okay, hope deferred, it's like you're hoping, you've been waiting, You've been waiting for that son, that daughter to come back to the Lord. You've been waiting for that husband to get straightened out or that wife to get straightened out. God, I'm just pleading with you. I'm begging you and I'm crying out to you. And he's heard your cry. He's hearing your cry. And you haven't seen the results yet. But it's coming. And I thought, oh, yeah, okay, it's coming.
17:24 But keep yourself encouraged in the Lord. One way to do that. The answer is coming. The answer is coming. One way to do that, you know, is to, and you said cry out to the Lord. You're kind of like beseeching, begging, you know, trying to make a deal. A lot of people are trying to make a deal with God and, you know, whatever all that looks like. Sometimes it's just being praising God and being thankful. Well, you know, because here's the deal. You know what God's will is. His will is that they come back to the truth. His will is that they come back and be reconciled to their families. That's His will. And so you can, if you're a smart prayer. If you want to get this done more quickly, then declare it instead of, Oh God, please say, Lord God, my son is coming home.
18:07 I speak truth in life. I pray God right now that he'll come back to his senses. I declare it in Jesus' name that he's not going to be hoodwinked any longer. Open his eyes. You get more specific in your praying. Open his eyes, soften his heart, turn his heart towards home. Pray verses or pray in tongues if you do that. and just begin to not so much beg. And, you know, God says, Jesus says, I give you power and authority over all the power of the enemy. And that power and authority comes through your mouth. And he says there's death and life and the power of the tongue. When God created the world, he spoke those words and brought forth what we see all around us.
18:49 Let there be light, let there be stars, let there be animals. And so the thing is, stop mumbling, murmuring, grumbling, complaining, and speaking. Every time you speak negative things like, oh, you know, I'm getting sick. Oh, it's not going to work. You are giving words to the devil to use against you. And I'm not saying, oh, you know, you can't ever tell everybody anything. You know, we just got to pretend like it's fine. No, you go and look at things in the spirit the way God wants them and declare those things to be as God. You know, it says for Abraham, how many years did he wait for that baby. And he didn't, you know, go off and mumble. And he says, he wavered not at the promises of God.
19:29 And that was accounted to him for righteousness, too. He didn't give up and say, you know what? I'm done. I'm done waiting. I'm done on God. This God thing isn't working. He just kept abiding and being and going forward, and God kept his promises. Isaiah chapter 61. Now, this is a reference to, it's a reference to Isaiah himself. It's a reference to Jesus and is a reference to us too as his people. Going forward in the spirit of the living God. He says in Isaiah 61, verse 1, the spirit of the Lord God is upon me. It's upon Jesus, right? It was upon Jesus. And now he's released his spirit to us.
20:09 His spirit is upon us, in us, with us, guiding us, helping us, strengthening us, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. That's primary reference to Jesus, but that's our job, too. He's transferred, To us, his ministry. He said, you're doing it now. I was here, I was here three and a half years that did it. Now I've sent the Holy Spirit. You pick up where I've left off. Amen. And he says, what? Preach good tidings to the poor. Yeah. Declare good news. A lot of the poor don't have very good news. It's all like bad news. You can be such a blessing becauseâ But if you just be awake, you know, when you're at the store or in a classroom at work, wherever, if you can just speak life and encouragement and joy.
21:00 Or even just smile at people. Just to smile and actually be nice. A lot of Christians, they'reâ We've been taught, eyes down, don't look around. They're not nice. Don't smile. They just run in. Just pretend like nobody sees you. Run in and run out. We're called to be a blessing. We're maybe not leading everybody to Jesus right away when we go to Walmart, but, you know, you can be kind and blessing and encouraging and congenial, And if people look sad, don't just, you know, you're called to be a thermostat, not a thermometer. A thermostat sets the temperature. A thermometer just registers the temperature. So we can't just be registering the temperature of this cold, dark world around us. But we are here to change the atmosphere.
21:41 Change the atmosphere of your team. Change the atmosphere of your workplace. Change the atmosphere of your family by your joy, by your peace, by your word. By your contentedness. By your contentment. Because, you know, a lot of people are really weirded out when people come up and start talking to them. So you have to be aware that people have been trained to be silent. Or to be suspicious. Eyes down. Yeah. What's wrong with them? Are they high? What do they want from me? Yeah. Be wise when you're, but you can still let your light shine. Follow the Spirit. And he says, he said, he sent me to heal the brokenhearted. Well, that's. Only the Lord can do that, but that's the message that we bring. And it says, Marjorie, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.
22:28 He doesn't say beg that the captives will have liberty. Declare. Or the people that are in prison just don't beg them to get out of prison. He's saying the prison of darkness, the prison of sin, the prison of fear and lies. Freedom. Declare. Declare freedom. Declare liberty. Declare the opening of the prison to those who are well. So just declare. Do it. Speak it. Well, an example of that would be David in Psalm 56. He has just been captured by the Philistines. You know, they were the ones whoâGoliath came out of the Philistines. So they had just captured him in Gath, which is their territory, which is basically now where I think Hamas is, on the Mediterranean there on the west side.
23:16 But so he says, okay, so this is all negative. You know, he's been captured. And then he says in verse three, well, verse one, he says, be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all day long, they oppress me. And then he says in verse 3, whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, I will praise his word. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what can man or flesh do to me. And then he goes on, all day long, they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil. They gather together, they hide, they mark my steps. In other words, he's being targeted, he's being followed, he's being attacked.
23:58 When they wait for my life, shall they escape by iniquity? In anger, cast down these people, O God. And then he says to him, you number my wandering. So God is being very aware of your misery, your wilderness, your wandering. He says, he puts my tears into, he says, put my tears into your bottle. David is talking to God, put my tears. This is a brave man, a soldier, killed Goliath. here he is crying, weeping, and he says, are they not in your book? In other words, aren't all my tears, my words, already in your book? I mean, you're loved by God. He says, when I cry out to you, then my enemies will turn back.
24:41 This I know because God is for me. You know, this I know because God is for me. Do you know that? Do you really? That's the challenge. Satan's going to try to get you to believe God is not for you, that God is mad at you, that he's testing you, teaching you a lesson because you blew it back there and you're guilty and you deserve to be punished. That is not our God. God already knew every step you're ever going to take, every breath we're ever going to breathe, every place we're ever going to be. And he's going to know all the times we're going to trip, all the times we're going to be assaulted, attacked, ambushed by the enemy. And so he said, I know God is because I know God is for me. This I know my enemies will turn back. Because God is for me. And he goes on in verse 10 there in Psalm 56.
25:22 In God, I will praise his word. In the Lord, I will praise his word. In God, I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Right. The vows made to you are binding upon me, O God. And I will render praises to you. For you have, this is powerful. Think of this for yourself. For you have delivered my soul from death. You have not kept my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living. This is the test of David's faith. And this is where you're at.
26:05 Maybe you had a tough year last year, lots of your faith tested. But what is faith? Faith is knowing that God is faithful, that God is faithful to complete the work he's begun in us. And so as we kind of wrap this up again, let's go back to Psalm 67, which he says in the first part of that verse, he says, God be merciful to us and bless us and cause his face to shine upon us. That your way may be known on earth and your salvation among all the nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God, let the peoples praise you. So you know what? God is merciful. God is the one who blesses us. God loves us. God wants to cause his face to shine upon us, not because we're good, but because he's good, because he loves you.
26:51 As you love your children, they don't have to be perfect for you to love them. You know, it's nice if they behave for sure, and then you can bless them, but you don't stop loving them just because they mess up. And God loves us, and he knew we were going to mess up from time to time. Not that we do it on purpose, but because he knows we're living in the snake pit. There's a little saying that a lot of young people are using these days. For you older adults, you have no clue. And for some of the young people that use it, They probably don't have a clue either, but it's 67. 67. Yeah. You know, they thought 67. And if you're in high school or middle school. I think it's 67, yeah. 67. You know that. But listen, turn that towards Psalm 67.
27:35 There's only seven verses there. But God, I look what you said, Margie. I want to just read it again. God be merciful to us and bless us and cause his face to shine upon us. Let's do that. Selah, that your way may be known on the earth, that your salvation, your salvation among all nations. I want to just pray. A blessing. Bless you guys. I want you to just receive this now. Because maybe some of you don't have anybody who speaks a blessing over you, so we're doing it for you right now. Receive it. Get ready to receive these words. Get all the resistance away. Move the blockers away. Say, I don't deserve it. Tell them to shut up. You're going to just be washed and cleansed and rejoiced and refreshed in these words.
28:19 Thank you, Jesus. I'm going to read this from Numbers chapter 6 in just a moment, but I want to just pray right now. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for each precious one that's hearing these words, wherever they're hearing them, in their car, in their home, at their computer desk, or wherever they are. Father, I just release blessings. Jesus. Lord, someone's listening that you don't really know Jesus or you've turned away. Now, I bless you with repentance that you will come back to the living God, that you return to him. He's not left you. He's still been with you, but he wants you back.
29:00 And I just bless you with that heart of repentance to come back to Him. And I bless you that know the Lord. I bless you with wisdom, with grace, with joy, with prosperity, with favor, with promotion. With a deep and holy revelation, a hunger for God. That all the wounds and all the things that you have been afflicted and born, and the injustices, the unforgiveness, the bitterness, the true serious crimes committed against you, that those wounds be washed out with the love of Jesus Christ. And I release healing to your body, to your soul, to your spirit, in the name of Jesus.
29:42 Every little organ, tissue, operation, member, function, frequency, vibration. Every little cell, every little tissue, be rejoicing in Jesus in this body and be encouraged to carry this one safely, keep their temple, their tabernacle strong and healthy, and cause them to do the right thing in terms of what they choose to eat or where to go or how to rest. Lord, I pray divine wisdom upon each one here that they will know what to do in the hour in which they must make a decision, that you will cause their feet, guide their feet, the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord, that you guide their feet to go in the right direction and to walk in the path of righteousness, and that there will be fruit in their life, much fruit to bring forth hope and joy and the fruit of the Spirit in other people's lives.
30:35 Lord, you are the way, the truth, and the life. Make their path clean. The psalmist prayed, Lord, lead me in a plain path, a level path, a clear path because of my enemies. So, Father, in Jesus' name, doors that have been closed, open them, Lord. Doors that have been closed. Thank you, Lord God. Those that have been closed are being opened right now. It's a season and a time. Yes. What's been closed to you before is now being opened by the Lord. Because to everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
31:15 And part of the reason that, you know, it seems like you've been stuck in this, whatever it is, you've been stuck in this. But the reason you've been stuck there is because it's not the right season. There's a season coming now of release, and you will see doors that look like they're tempting. They look like they're open, but God is saying, no, I'm closing these because I've got a different direction for you to go right now. And as you go with him, you will have that peace. You will see it clearly. You'll see it. You will know it. The Spirit of God, the Word of God will all line up and bear witness with that course of action that you are to take.
31:59 And I want to just summarize this by the blessing upon you. Just receive this now, the blessing. You hear it a lot, but sometimes we hear it so much we don't even think about it. But we'll just receive this right now in the name of Jesus. Numbers chapter 7, 22 through 27, or 26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them, Now there's a blessing we pronounce. It's not just for Aaron. It's not just for Moses. But I just say to you now, The Lord bless you and keep you.
32:41 The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you. And give you peace. And we just release that blessing now to you and to your family and to the people surrounding you. We read it in the psalm earlier, Psalm 67. I think it's there. We're the people of the earth. Well, bless the Lord. We'll know the Lord and bless the Lord. May this be a year of release and blessing and spiritual awakening, salvation and deliverance throughout this nation and throughout the other nations.
33:26 And those that seem like the most unlikely people, the most hard people are going to be turned around and released and delivered and become fiery soldiers for the kingdom of God. We pray that that will happen in our families, in our workplaces, in our state and nation and throughout the nations of the world. We just release this in Jesus' name. Praise God. Amen.
