Prophetic Word for 2024, Part 1: The Year of Slow

Beloved, do you need 2024 to be a BETTER YEAR? If so, you are going to love the encouraging prophetic words for 2024 that the Lord spoke to me for you.

Today, I am releasing Part 1 of these prophetic words for 2024. Additional segments will follow, as there is too much to include in just one blog post!

So here’s the first tidbit the Lord has spoken to me for 2024–and I will tell you that it contains encouragement, promise, AND words of warning, all at once:

2024 is ‘The Year of Slow.’

I heard the Lord say:

“I want you to slow down and savor My goodness. Savor what I am doing for you. You cannot do this if you are in a rush. You cannot do this in a hurry. You cannot savor My goodness when you are always rushing to get somewhere else.

Savoring My goodness is best done in a place of rest.

I have been teaching you about My rest for years, and it is time for you to experience it in a whole new way. I challenge you to slow down in 2024. I need you to slow down in order to accomplish all My good and perfect will for your life.

I know you think that fast is good, but I assure you that I can grow you much more, and propel you forward much more, in a place of slowness than I can in the place of speed that you have conjured up. It is she who tarries at home who divides the spoil (see Psalm 68), and it is to My messengers who wait on Me that I give the best words.

I have hope and a future for you.

However, you cannot receive all that I have for you if you are not resting. Failure to rest is abject disobedience, and I want you to know that I am going to insist that you rest in 2024–or face My discipline.

Know this: I am going to compel you to slow down if you do not choose to obey Me voluntarily.

But if you will slow down, you will find a place of beauty which you have never before seen.

I have a beautiful life for you to enjoy that you cannot even fathom yet. I have prosperity for you this year that you cannot even imagine. And I will do it–but it is all based on your intimacy with Me.

Let Me tell you this, My darling child: As much as you do not like to hear it, you cannot be as intimate with Me as I want you to be when you are in a place of speed and rushing.

I have been quite clear on this, and now I am pushing the issue because I want you to walk in ALL that I have for you.

Do you want all that I have for you? You will see gifts I have for you that you cannot fathom now–and yet, you will, if you will obey Me. All that I have done for others, I can and will do for you too.

The miracles you have been asking for? They are found in My rest. The prosperity you are requesting from Me? It is found in the place of waiting on Me–attending to Me in the slowness and stillness.

I have dreams for you to dream that you have not dreamed yet.

I have visions to speak to you that will set you free from things you do not know are binding you. I will use those dreams and visions to reach the whole world for Myself, and with My love. These are dreams of all kinds–both tangible and symbolic. But the question is, will you slow down enough to receive them?

2024 is The Year of Slow.

It is your time to receive. Yet, you cannot receive from a place of rushing. Do the pruning it takes to slow down and receive from Me, or I will do it for you. I tell you this not because I am angry with you, for I am not angry. But I tell you this because I love you so much, and I desire all that is best for you.

Choose you this day whom you will serve. If you will serve Me, then you must rest in Me. There are no other choices.

Love, your Abba Father.”

Beloved, the Lord doesn’t usually talk to me like this.

This section of the word is both encouragement, promise, and a stern warning at the same time. But I am listening to Him, for this word pertains to nearly all that I have been praying about and asking the Lord to do. And I am choosing to obey, slowing down and taking stock of what keeps me from resting.

I choose to rest in Him. I choose to take Him up on His promises about what He will do for me if I rest.

Do you? Or do you choose to keep living beside the fires of hurry that you have conjured up for yourself, despising His blessing of rest in favor of your prideful preferences?

I have done both, but I desire to be more humble now than I have ever been. And humility requires us to rest. I choose to embrace that. Will you embrace it with me?
