We give our God praise and honor as we welcome you to 2025! In preparing for this coming year, I have sought the Lord's guidance as we navigate the challenging times ahead. I believe God is calling for his Remnant Church to “Unleash the Kingdom” from within, aiming to pursue a Kingdom which cannot be shaken. This is the time to draw closer in our relationship, keep our focus and fulfill all assignments God has placed upon our lives. The bible says in Hebrews 12:28-29, “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.”

 

As we wait for the return of Jesus Christ, it is critical from this space not to give into any type of distractions. A distraction is anything that divides your attention; or prevents concentration. If there is no Concentration, there will be no Consecration. It is to our advantage to remain focus; in fellowship and full of faith in Jesus Christ throughout year 2025 and moving forward.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF 5785 

​

The Hebrew calendar states we are in the year of 5785 which is the year of the “Open Window.” It is my Declaring that God is going to Open the Windows of Heaven for His people and pour out upon us His Spirit, Power, Supernatural Provision and Revelation. In other words, get ready for a Divine Outpouring of Spiritual Rain because if the Windows of Heaven are open, then so is the Heavens are Open for God’s people. In other words, we under an Open Heaven! God is going to give us “Windows of Opportunity” in various areas of our lives. We must be able to take full advantage of the opportunities as they become visible and be prepared to benefit from them. When you add the numbers 5,7,8, and 5 together you get (25). 5+7+8+5=25 and God has something to say to us regarding these numbers.

 

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF 2025

​

Spiritually, the number 25 signifies to “Behold,” meaning “To See.” We must arrive at a place in our relationship with God that we can began to Behold His presence and See in the realm of the spirit the revelation of His Word, Spirit and Power for our lives. We must be able to See that God has more for us and understand that more is required of us. We must be able to See that God is still able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think. And although we still have trouble in this world, we are still able to See God is yet tracking our trouble which gives us confidence and comfort. We must pray for a Seer’s Anointing in this hour that we don't lose sight of God, His son Jesus, and how He is moving in this season. The Seer’s Anointing will enable you with special insight given by God to discern His will, as God speaks to you through dreams, visions, or direct communication. I believe God is telling us we are under an Open Heaven with windows of opportunity coming. And with those opportunities will come with the Grace and Favor of God.

 

But just like any window that I'm familiar with, all windows close at some point and time. Therefore, we must be focused so we do not miss our opportunities as they come forth because the window will close, and you will have missed out on what God has for you. God is going to provide opportunities corporately as well as individually through his Grace and Favor and we must never forget it all should benefit the Kingdom unto the Glory of God.

​

Finally, we look forward to this awesome year God has in store for us in 2025. My prayer is for you all to increase with your relationship with the Lord Jesus like never before; stay faith focused and prayerful. Let us work together and support the ministry in its full capacity, reach out to our community together, and win these lost souls. I expect every member of GFCD to be “All In” so we can come “Alive in 25” and Unleash the Kingdom from within.

 

Thank you, and be blessed,
