ABIDE AND THRIVE IN 2025

Prophetic Words

The Lord has been speaking of many things to come in 2025 and beyond.

As I drew near to hear what the Spirit of the Lord was saying for 2025, I heard the Lord say these words ABIDE AND THRIVE. This is one message that resounded over and over again, ABIDE AND THRIVE IN 2025.

I immediately felt the Lord draw near to me, and draw me INTO Himself (James 4:8). I felt an all-consuming and glorious oneness in Spirit with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17), that is available to us all.

He is inviting us to DEEP-DIVE into HIS WORD AND HIS WAYS to discover the deeper dimensions of what it is live from a place of divine-union with Him. To explore the depths and height of who He is, and who we are IN Him, and to be awakened to revelation of how to ABIDE and remain in divine-union with Him.

In the Spirit I saw a GOLDEN KEY, it was a MASTER KEY. On the SHAFT OF THE KEY was written the word “ABIDE.” The key to unlock the greater realms of REVELATION TO REIGN has the divine strategy ETCHED IN IT’S NAME – “ABIDE.”

John 15:4-5
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

The Passion Translation says it like this: So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to me.

Abide means: To remain; to stay, or dwell. In John 15, Jesus tells us to “abide in him”. This means to remain in his word, remain in his love, and actively follow his commandments; to have a continuous, relational dependence on God. I like to think of it as to remain in communion, in fellowship with Him, in His presence; to live in life-union; Abiding reveals our POSTURE AND PLACE in Him. PROSTRATE in pure adoration allowing His oil of revelation light to saturate every fibre of our being. Prostrate in prayer and intercession to hear His whisper and be a representation of the heartbeat of the Father in the spheres of influence He has entrusted to us. Our PROXIMITY to Jesus, intricately GRAFTED into Him. Remaining in His presence, becoming awakened to the love phenomena that in Him we live and move and have our being.

The invitation is to be divinely joined and ABIDE in intimate life-union with the Lord. The promise is abundant fruitfulness; a pathway to THRIVE.

THRIVE MEANS: To prosper, flourish, or grow vigorously

COME ALIVE, YOU ARE REVIVED TO THRIVE:
I heard the Lord say COME ALIVE AND THRIVE. There are many who have felt like it was all they could do to survive the last season, but I hear the Lord encourage you to COME UP HIGHER to access the LAVISHED LEVELS of the ABUNDANT LIFE He has ordained for you before the foundations of the earth. It is here that He will transform your DAYS OF SURVIVAL TO REVIVAL.

He plans to REVIVE YOU TO THRIVE in the plans He has purposed for your future (Jer 29:11). I can feel Him smiling on you, knowing full well that this future He has for you is so much more than you can ever think, ask, hope or imagine (see Eph 3:20). It is a promised-land where you will COME ALIVE AND THRIVE in the RESURRECTION POWER of the RUACH BREATH OF GOD that breathes new life into your calling, your dreams, the promises of God and the prophetic words over your life. The fresh wind of the Spirit blows and in it I heard the Lord speak over you COME ALIVE AND THRIVE MY REVIVED BRIDE! YOU ARE REVIVED TO THRIVE!

DEEP-DIVE AND THRIVE:
DEEP-DIVE into my word, it’s alive. It will hold your feet steadfast to the righteous path I have marked out for your life. Deep-dive and discover the new life and fresh revelation, ready to be revealed. LOOK WITH NEW EYES, WITHOUT COMPROMISE. Look for Me in every situation and every circumstance. Seek me and you will find me in surprising and profound measure. I AM in the journey and I AM in the destination. I AM in the process of the product. Fear not, for I AM with you. I AM in you, every step of the way.

DEEP-DIVE INTO MY WORD AND THRIVE. It’s alive and active, it will sharpen your perception to discern between flesh and spirit, and keep truth as the compass to navigate the pathway to purity and not fall prey to the deep darkness that covers the people and tries to influence and turn away those marked for the Kingdom of light in Christ. The word of God is our plumb-line to equip and empower us to co-rule and reign with Christ, to take dominion as we partner with Him to advance the Kingdom of God in the earth in these days.

It’s time to turn away from the wicked and worldly ways. Do not be led astray. Turn to Me, run into Me, be led by My Spirit to navigate the righteous pathway. For this is the pathway to come alive in My word alive. It’s alive and it’s active to sharpen your discernment of truth and lies. turn from the turmoil, turn to Me. Enter into My presence and be present. I sense this is a call to be intentional to take the time to turn your affections to the One who is omnipresent. He is with you at every turn in your life.

AS YOU ABIDE YOU THRIVE:
Jesus said I came to give you life and life abundantly (John 10:10). We are grafted into Him and it is Jesus who causes us to thrive. In 2025 and beyond we are invited to CULTIVATE COVENANT with Him, communing with Him more than ever. As you set yourself apart to remain in His word, in His presence, and in fellowship with Him, your life will be nourished by the sap of supping with Him in the CHAMBERS OF CONSECRATION and we can expect to see HIS WORD AND WAYS rooted deeply and established in and through you. You will be like a well watered tree laden with fruit people will eat of, planted by the river of life. Jesus the source, the life-giver Himself. Draw from the life-giving vine (Jesus is the vine) and watch Him branch out through your life (you are the branches) to bring forth fruit and flourish like the palm trees and cedars in the house of the Lord, and grow vigorously in every grace, and in the knowledge of Christ to cause you to “THRIVE AS YOU ABIDE” IN HIM.

ABIDE AND THRIVE IN 2025!
