The Government of God is Arising
Welcome to 2012…a New Year that has already begun unfolding before us!
Twelve is a significant number. It is the number of government and it
symbolizes divine accomplishment and governmental perfection.
The year 2012 is about the government of God arising. If we want to see the government of God arise in the earth, we must first allow it to arise in us, His people, in a greater way.
Because God’s work is always a continuum, the new didn’t begin with the midnight stroke of a clock on December 31st. What God has been building in our lives is ongoing and eternal. It is line upon line, truth upon truth, and experience upon experience. Seetõttu, we have not started something new in 2012, but we are continuing in the path He has set before us.
We must remember that our starting point is the resurrection. We rose with Christ to a new life. Now, THAT was a new beginning! We begin with who Christ is in us and for us! We are alive to Him and to all that He wants to do in establishing His government and His righteousness in us. He is helping us learn to live and abide in our new identity.
This year, as God continues His work in us, let us allow the increase of His government in these areas:
- Receiving and then expressing His headus daily. You cannot give away what you have not first experienced for yourself. So, expect and receive His goodness every day and then show someone else that aspect of His government.
- Living in a limitless way….not measured, showing God’s abundant heart towards all.
- Being more astonished at who God is for us rather than feeling overwhelmed by circumstances.
- Processing everything through God’s majesty.
This is a year to live with excitement and expectation! Expect God’s divine work to manifest through you on a daily basis. His work in us is part of establishing His government in the earth.
Romaane 12:2 urges us to, not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
Give up old mindsets and let them be replaced with a renewed mind.
Dear Jane, I have been part of the he Finnish Aglow board since we moved back to Finland 2009. I am actively involved in Aglow both nationally and internationally. You find me in our website representing Finland in the Houston conference which I found one of the best thus far.
I am pleased to tell you that your blog material has confirmed the content of my notes taken in Houston and now in Budapest. We have started to translate your blogs and publish them in our website. But this goes further. We are about to start 2012 divine accomplishment and governmental perfection prayer work (walk) both on an individual but also on national basis. The flickering flame looks now more like a true fire, a resurrection fire.
Thanks. I needed this message this day. Jesus IS my companion and he is Lord.
As a friend said this morning, “May I wake up everyday looking for a way I can be kind or helpful or loving.” As we lay ourselves down and reach out to the Poor, we raise the cause of Christ higher. May our lives be laid down to serve Him.
This confirms what I already believed God was saying to me at the beginning of this year. God has been speaking about the need for a fresh and complete surrender.
Matthew 12:25 says ‘Every kingdom, city or house divided against itself will not stand’. I am challenged to ensure that all choices and decisions I make this year, and every year hereafter, is not influenced by any authority other than His. Our God hasn’t signed for a coalition government, he has designed it that his people are governed first and foremost by his authority and guidance.
It’s time for who Christ really is to be expressed through his people.
Love to the Aglow family,

Jane , thanks for those encouraging words I received them.
I thank Him for a new mind set as I, continue the process of making Him
Lord of my life, and with His help living from heaven to earth.
This year I live with great expectation that His will be done in me
and on earth as it is in heaven.
Love and contined Blessings to you and Tony.

HEA! For November and December I kept humming a hymn and realized it was an Easter hymn. I said Lord we are about to celebrate your birth and You have me singing about resurrection a rebirth, a new birth. This Christmas 2011 was our rebirth into something awesome that He has planned. So blessed by your words, your leadership and your heart relationship with the Jesus which is so transparent. Here are the words to the hymn. Be blessed and enriched with deeper revelation from the Father above. Armastus, Sara
Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna! Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder: all creation is amazed.
In the desert all surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown
Christ is risen Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair
Walk with gladness in the morning, See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant but a friend.
Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end.
Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same
Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain
Tell its grim demonic chorus: “CHRIST IS RISEN! GET YOU GONE!”
God the FIRST AND LAST is with us. Sing Hosanna everyone!
Hosea 6:1 Come and let us return unto the LORD: for HE hath torn, and HE will heal us; HE hath smitten and HE will bind us up. Thank you LORD. We as a people has fallen short.
For 2012 we are girding our lions and go forward in the mighty name of JESUS.
The government of GOD shall arise. Aamen.
Great word.
The word tp advance His kingdom in me and in the earth.
Putting on the mind of Christ, still a challenge, but one I embrace.
Thinking the thoughts of God, a victory in itself.
Love to you Jane,
