Dear Saints,

I pray this letter finds you all encouraged, healthy, and full of the joy of the Lord. We desire above all things that you would be in health and prosper even as your soul prospers. We desire that 2010 would be the year that your soul would prosper like never before! Gayle and I are keeping you in our prayers.

Many people, (even church people) are saying how terrible 2010 is going to be. They may not realize that what they are speaking to the church is actually for the world and not for the church at all! 2010 will be a year of great change, governmental, economy, business, and every aspect of day to day life. These things will not crush Gods true called. Remember, "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." Ps 91:7..

Here is what I heard the Lord speak:

“2010 will be a year of great change, not as the worlds system has promised, but as My Word promises.
It will be a year of miracles, a year of empowering of the church, a year of transition, a year that My people will begin to walk in the things that I have purposed for them.  2010 will be a year of fulfillment of dreams, promises, and visions that they have even forgotten about because they have not seen them come to pass in so many years since they were spoken.
In 2008, the world cried out for "change". The people desired a king so I gave them one. What has that change produced in your lives? Now I promise change says the Lord, my change will bring healing, joy, and a great harvest!
What I am about to do is pour out a mighty wave of my power and anointing into my true called saints that have determined to give Me all of their hearts and obey Me and Me only.  There has been too much "manufactured by man" in years past. Yes, there have been true moves of my Spirit over the years, but there has also been great reproach due to works of the flesh. I will not share my glory with anyone. There are many vessels that I anointed for my purposes, but they chose to serve their flesh, I am contending with them for their obedience. I will not honor works of the flesh! If you want to walk in my power and anointing, you must abandon greed, pride, and self will. I will trust you with the hearts of my people only if you show yourself obedient to my will and not your own. To the obedient and sold-out, this will be a year where I will quickly bring my promises to pass in your lives. What you have waited, seemingly decades for, will come to pass in an instant. I am doing a quick work in my people, and my desire is to fill you with My word, fill you with My power and anointing, and fill the world with testimony of My mighty works!  As you abandon your plans and desires to My plans and desires, I will fill you to walk in the authority that you will need in order to do the miraculous things that I have purposed for you in these days.”


In 2010, God wants YOU to be able to say "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations." Isaiah 61..

Do you know that you might be the last person to have the opportunity to bring life to some desperate person that just got done crying out to God for help? Will you be the one who brings healing and restoration, or will you run in fear thinking that God can’t use you? When God touches His people, they are changed forever.  I have ministered to at least 3 people in the past few days who told me that they were suicidal before they were ministered to. If one person sees 3 people in this condition in a period of 2 days, how many do you think are out there (and in churches as was the case with the 3 I met) who desperately need a touch from the Lord. If God sends them your way, it is because He trusts you with them. Don’t you ever believe that God cannot or will not use you!

Do not limit God as to where or when He may use you. Many refuse to minister to people in public either because of fear or not understanding that their ministry does extend beyond the confines of the church.   Think of it this way, you are in church typically 2 days a week. What are you doing for God the other 5 days? A simple phone call could bring life and healing for some hurting or discouraged saint. If you want to be used by God, just make this simple request of Him every day... "God, would you please bring someone to me today who needs a touch from you?"  Then be willing when He does.
You will be amazed at how God will use you to love on His people, and show you His power resident in your life.

In Acts 4:19-21 it says “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.  For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.  So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.”

It is time for the people of God to start doing things that cause all men to glorify God! The great end time harvest is going to in great part be directly attributed to the miracle healing and wondrous works that God is going to be doing in these days. We are truly living in the days that God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, and if you are not a part of His great end time move, it will not be because God did not desire that you were.

I want to start hearing testimony from all of you of the miracles that God is doing in your lives! Give Him all the glory due His wonderful name! Lets believe that 2010 will be a year full of the miracles of God, and that you will be one of the vessels that He is using to bring life and healing to His people.

If you know of someone who this letter might encourage, please feel free to forward it on to them.

We love and appreciate you all,
Happy New Year!
Joe and Gayle Smith
