Greetings Great Faith Family,

The Spirit of God has declared: “It’s Time to Advance.”

Isaiah 54:2–3 (ERV): “Make your tent bigger. Open your doors wide. Don’t think small! Make your tent large and strong, because you will grow in all directions. Your children will take over many nations and live in the cities that were destroyed.”

Every time in Scripture that God called His people forward, the Spirit of God was present to release an upgrade—realignment of heart and habits for clarity, capacity, and covenant results.

At the beginning of this year, the Lord said: “A fresh wind of My anointing is blowing, empowering you to overcome frustration, fatigue, complacency, and stagnation. Do not be anxious about anything, for you are on time, on schedule, and in the place to see My manifested promises for your life come together.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Isaiah 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

That prophetic word is unfolding now. God is calling us to advance and is releasing Prophesied Upgrades as we align with His vision.

The Holy Spirit’s Role in Advancement

Every upgrade in Scripture was not man-made, but Spirit-led:

At the Red Sea (Exodus 14:13–16), fear was upgraded into faith as the sea parted.
At the Jordan (Joshua 1:2–9), wandering was upgraded into conquering when God commanded Joshua to “go over this Jordan.”
When David was anointed (1 Samuel 16:13), he was upgraded from obscurity to authority.
At Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4), disciples were upgraded into bold apostles who advanced the Gospel.

Acts 10:34 (KJV): “Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.”

What God did for them, He will also do for us. The same Spirit is with us in this season to realign, empower, and advance.

Spirit-Led Upgrades Involve

- Expectation of God’s Promises — Ephesians 3:20 (KJV): “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” ➡ No small asking. No more limited vision. Only faith-filled anticipation.

- Excitement for God’s Presence — Psalm 122:1 (KJV): “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” ➡ Joy, passion, and zeal is restored.

- Elevation of God’s Power

• Increase — Deuteronomy 1:11 (KJV): “The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!” ➡ Multiplication and provision.

• Intensity — Romans 12:11 (KJV): “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.” ➡ Fire, focus, and diligence.

• Influence — Matthew 5:14 (KJV): “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” ➡ Greater reach and voice.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV): “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” ➡ Addition follows priority.

Our Vision Targets for Advancement — God’s Agenda, Our Alignment

The vision for this season is not just a man’s goals, it is God’s agenda. When we put His purpose first, He makes our purpose prosper.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV): “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

1. Families Restored — 50 Families Reactivated

Breaks frustration that isolates families and pulls them from fellowship.

Psalm 68:6 (KJV): “God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains.”

2. Families Received — 50 New Families Added

Ends complacency by welcoming fresh growth and life into God’s house.

Proverbs 11:30 (KJV): “He that winneth souls is wise.”

John 15:16 (KJV): “I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.”

3. Faithful Servants — 50 New Volunteers Serving

Stops stagnation as believers rise up and serve faithfully.

Matthew 20:26 (KJV): “Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.”

John 12:26 (KJV): “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”

4. Financial Release — $100,000 Seed & Debt Retired in 2025

Lifts fatigue by breaking financial weight with supernatural freedom.

Malachi 3:10 (KJV): “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… prove me now herewith… if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

Luke 6:38 (KJV): “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Philippians 4:17–19 (KJV): “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account… But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Reciprocal Blessing Promise

God promises reciprocal blessing when you participate in Kingdom giving. As you sow to retire the church’s debt, the same debt-free grace rests on your life, your business, and your finances. God promises when you prioritize His vision, He prospers your provision.

Focus: This seed is not only about the church’s freedom—it’s about your freedom too.

Ephesians 6:8 (KJV): “Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.”
Luke 6:38 (KJV): “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom…”
Philippians 4:19 (KJV): “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Declaration: As you sow to retire the church’s debt, the same debt-free grace rests on your house, your business, and your finances. God will release freedom from debt and supernatural increase personally in your life.
