My prayer and my desire for you is that this email finds you and your family well during this unprecedented season. About three and half weeks ago the manner in which many of us functioned in our daily activities changed dramatically. While it took me a few days to begin to adjust my mind around what was taking place in the world, my first priority was to lean into the heart of God for this season for what He was speaking. I want to share with you just a few thoughts I believe are from God’s heart for us in this season:
may be challenged by thoughts and feelings of fear, as believers we are commanded continually, “Fear not.” We are not to fear because we are to be people of faith. Faith anchors us in the promise of peace and provision regardless of the world crisis. In the middle of this crisis, know that God is working all things for the good of His people. God will answer the prayers of His people and be faithful to His word. For the Lord says, “I have sent my angels on assignment to respond to my people’s steadfastness of faith and declaration of my word. Be on guard for what is released from your mouth in this season for did I not say to you, ‘Death and life are in the power of your tongue.’ Do not grow weary in well doing nor be moved by what you see for I desire you to see reality from my perspective, and you can believe me and trust me in this season. As you believe me, you will see provision, abundance and breakthrough.” Yes, for the Lord says, “I am the God of the breakthrough and I am indeed breaking through for my people in this season. Abundance, wholeness and surplus is My people’s portion in this season!” I want to once again thank you for standing with us as a faithful Covenant Partner. Your partnership is the foundation that allows the vision God has placed upon my life and ministry to be sustained and continue. I am asking for you to please continue to be faithful with your regular giving to this ministry during this season. As you know, a very large part of my ministry assignment is extensive travel to minister in public meetings and corporate gatherings. One of the challenges for us in moving ahead is that there are many unknown changes taking place on a regular basis. I am believing God for His grace and wisdom to bring clarity and understanding on how best to proceed in this season. Would you please stand with us in this prayer of agreement? I also want to ask you to prayerfully consider sowing a special offering in this season. I remain committed to continue with our monthly financial commitments to outreaches around the world that include feeding programs, missionaries and churches around the world. Some of those with whom I have relationship and that we support are some of the hardest hit because of the restrictions that have been placed upon them. Thank you in advance for your faithfulness to God and this ministry during this time! During this season the Holy Spirit has also birthed a prayer call. The prayer call is now taking place Sunday through Friday at 4:08 E.S.T. The purpose of the prayer call is to pray and unite as one and intercede prophetically into the purposes of God for this season. I have so enjoyed these times of prayer and intercession and how God has moved so powerfully! Please consider joining us as often as your schedule allows. (Prayer call dial in number 857-232- 0155; User Code 523585). Join other friends of God from around the United States in a Holy Spirit saturated time of prayer and intercession. On a weekly basis, I am also online via various media platforms teaching, sharing prophetically, and taking questions. We will continue to let you know about these times that you can connect with our ministry via social media and e-mail. As always, we want to hear from you! Please share your testimonies and prayer requests by e-mailing us at info@abnersuarez.com. We are committed to standing with you to see the purposes of God established in your life! We love you and are honored to have you connected to us as a partner. Pursuing Him! Abner Suarez

I pray this letter finds you well and living from the joy of the Lord despite any obstacle, trial or mountain you may be facing in this season. I am reminded of a command the Holy Spirit spoke to me a number of years ago. He said, “I want you to see every obstacle through the lens of my favor.” While I was still learning and applying the implications of that statement, I knew immediately the idea God was seeking to communicate to me. He wanted me to see every situation contrary to the word of God and purpose of God in my life through the favorable outcome God so passionately wanted to give me. God has also spoken prophetically that 2020 and beyond would be a time of divine turnaround for the body of Christ:
2020 will be known as the year of the divine turnaround. Did I not say that I would cause all things to work for my people’s certain good? This will be a unique season on the earth. I will turn all things around for My people’s certain good. For My certain good I am redeeming mistakes, failed businesses, failed ministries, failed relationships, missteps, mishaps, and where time has been lost. Even for individuals where the purpose of God was lost in their life, I am ordaining things for My certain good. Great, great, grace is being released to My people. They will be delivered from mistakes, wrong turns, wrong attitudes, wrong motives, and wrong heart positioning. What defined your past can no longer define your future. If you are intentional in turning towards Me and leaning into Me for wisdom, I will cause all things to work for your certain good. This is my encouragement to you this month: This is a season of perhaps the greatest break through the body of Christ has ever experienced around the world! This is a season to be defined not by your difficult circumstances but by the promise of God! God is releasing a greater grace to keep standing for those who have grown weary in well doing and perhaps have been tempted by the enemy to quit. To experience the breakthrough that God is releasing in this season, I want to offer simple biblical values that, as I have endeavored to practice as a lifestyle, have caused me see God’s provision: - Locate God’s promise to you as it relates to your circumstances (we have provided the following resource I believe you will find quite helpful. - Make an intentional decision to be moved only by what God has promised, not what you see. - Meditate continually and declare God’s promise of provision. - Ask God if He requires any corresponding action on your part. If so, obey quickly! - Be sure you are practicing the fundamentals of faith (i.e. fellowship w/ God, Bible study, active participant in a community of believers, quick to forgive). I bless you today in the name of Jesus to walk in the divine turnaround that God is releasing to His body in this season! May you recover all that the enemy has stolen and advance the Kingdom in an unusual and unprecedented manner in this season! Thank you once again for faithfully standing with the vision and purpose God has given this ministry. Together we are advancing the Kingdom of God around the world. The month of March is filled with international ministry. By the time you read this, I will be ministering with a team in Rwanda and later in the month I will be in Europe for 12 days ministering in Germany and Iceland. I ask that you continue to stand with us that God would pour out His Spirit in these nations and that I would fulfill the assignment for which He has sent me to these nations. Pursuing Him! Abner Suarez My prayer and my great desire for you is that you would be growing in the knowledge of God daily and that you would find your greatest satisfaction in fellowship with Him. This year has opened at a very rapid pace, with our 20/20 Encounter bringing in the new year as well travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, Corona, California, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Whiteville, North Carolina. In each of these cities God moved in a powerful and unique way. This is truly a time of the
greatest outpouring in the earth! I also began 2020 with the goal to finish a small book on faith by February 15. I have really enjoyed the writing process for this book, and I am believing that the book will go around the world to be a tool for believers to walk in the life of victory that God intended for each of us. I am asking that you please agree with me in prayer that this book project would be completed by the goal I have set in the manner God intended. This month my intention was to continue to share the prophetic word God revealed to me for 2020 and beyond. However, as I prepared to write to you, I felt impressed by the Holy Spirit to share with you on the subject of revelation knowledge. Revelation knowledge can be defined as the unveiling of the character and nature of God to humanity to discover their purpose and relate to God in the correct manner. At creation, God’s intention was to educate humanity through revelation knowledge. Adam and Eve could only understand their purpose for living when it was revealed to them by God. Revelation knowledge is as critical to the life of believers as the heart is a critical organ for the human body to function. Proverbs 29:18 declares, “Where there is no vision [no revelation of God and His word], the people are unrestrained” (AMP). The following are some critical values that will give understanding about the nature of revelation and how you can walk in a lifestyle of revelation. • Revelation is a gift given to humanity by God himself (John 3:27). • Revelation knowledge is birthed from the heart of God, not from the human soul or intellect (Matthew 16:17). • Humanity must receive revelation as a gift from God (Romans 8:32). • The gift of God’s faith to us must grab revelation knowledge (Hebrews 11:6). • Revelation must be applied (James 2:17). • Applied revelation is a place in which we can grow in understanding (Luke 10:1-12). • Wisdom and revelation work together as one to cause us to be more fruitful (Ephesians 1:17-18). One of my continual prayers is that God would daily grant me the spirit of wisdom and revelation. It is the prayer that the Apostle Paul prayed for the Church of Ephesus and is it my prayer for you. “I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him” (Ephesians 1:16-17). Thank you once again for faithfully standing with the vision and purpose God has given this ministry. Together we are advancing the Kingdom of God around the world. As I finish this letter to you today, I am in Canada ministering in my first international trip of 2020. This year we will be ministering internationally in Germany, Iceland, England, Switzerland, Albania, South Africa, Romania, and Moldova. As always, we want to hear from you! Please share your testimonies or prayer requests by e-mailing us at info@abnersuarez.com. We are committed to standing with you to see the purposes of God established in your life! We love you and are honored to have you connected to us as a partner. If have not already done so please be sure to access the word of the Lord for 2020 beyond. Pursuing Him! Abner Suarez Welcome to 2020!
I know I have stated this to you many times before but I believe it bears repeating in this new season: This is the greatest time to be alive in Church history! Though we certainly are not without challenges, we are privileged that God has chosen us to live in the earth For Such A Time As This! I am honored that God has chosen to connect us in His purpose for this hour. As we begin this new year, I want to share in this letter some of the prophetic insight God has given me for this current season of 2020. Every year for at least the last ten years, God has given me some prophetic insight to the coming year/season. This past year from the morning of September 4, 2019 until just before Christmas, the Holy Spirit began to speak to me about 2020 and beyond. I should note as I usually do with annual prophetic words that I believe God operates in seasons rather than calendar years. This is a season of unique and divine strategies from heaven being released to earth for those who have a listening and attentive ear. I am releasing great grace to My people to wait on the Lord, listen to the word of the Lord, and receive great wisdom for the application of the word of the Lord. This is a season in which My great desire is to release divine words from heaven that would quickly and speedily come to pass as My people lean into me with corresponding wisdom. I am releasing keys that would unlock the manifestation of prophetic words and mandates, some given long ago. For indeed this is a season in which the just shall walk by faith as never before. I want to enlarge My people's vision and ability to see and hear from heaven, so position yourself properly and be prepared to act and do as never before. For I desire greater impact. The door to greater impact and influence in the nations of the earth is greater faith and trust in the words I speak. As I heard God speak these words to me, I became very excited! Like you, I am passionate about hearing the word of the Lord and knowing the wisdom of God to bring it to pass. Rest assured that as passionate as we are to know the wisdom and the word of the Lord, God is committed to not only minister the word of the Lord to us, but also to give us the wisdom to bring those words to pass. He has also told us prophetically that 2020 is a season of "unique and divine strategies...for those who have a listening ear." In light of what God has spoken to us for this season, I want to offer some key principles that I learned and practiced that I believe will help you experience all that God desires for you in this season. Be intentional and committed to a lifestyle of friendship with God. Many years ago as I was seeking God for wisdom in the vision He had placed on my heart, He spoke to me so clearly. "Everything you need to know when you need to know it you will know if you simply stay in a posture of fellowship with God." Those words brought me to a place of great peace in walking out God's purpose for my life. It was not my responsibility to make the word of Lord come to pass but simply to be God's friend. It is in the context of friendship with God that He gives divine instruction and wisdom. Be intentional in walking in the fear of the Lord. A simple definition of the fear of the Lord is simply: a posture of the heart that takes the Godhead seriously in every area of life. As believers, it is critical to walk in the fear of the Lord. We know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning place for receiving the wisdom of God. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10). Be intentional in receiving the word by faith. Often when God speaks about our future or concerning a particular area of our lives, it is often completely contrary to our current circumstance or experience. It is vitally important that as we discern His voice that we receive His word and declare what He said about our situation. When we receive His words of faith and declare with our mouths what He said, we are cooperating with God's ability to bring transformation to our situation. Like Mary, we want the posture of our heart to be, "Let it be to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38). Obey whatever God speaks. While it is God who fulfills His word, it our obedience to His word that facilitates those promises coming to manifestation. God's strategy for bringing His promises to manifestation is through divine wisdom that often cannot be understood through the natural mind. David, instead of using Saul's armor for his battle with Goliath, chooses five smooth stones and a sling in his hand. Jesus' first miracle of turning the water into wine only takes place after the servants obey him by filling the water pots with water. In this season, the Holy Spirit longs to give us divine strategy; be postured to obey the voice of God in a manner that is His will but often will be beyond our natural comprehension. My prayer for you is that 2020 would be a defining year for you and your family in the purposes of God. May you find your greatest delight in knowing Him and producing eternal fruit. Over the next two months, I will continue to share more of the prophetic word God has given to me for the 2020 season. If you would like to access the complete word now, it can be found on our website: https://www.abnersuarez.com/word-for-2020.html. Also, the next two sermons of the month will be sharing the word of the Lord for 2020. As always, we want to hear what God is doing in your life. Please share your testimonies at info@abnersuarez.com. Also, the application deadline for our trip to Rwanda February 28 - March 9 is January 31. We'd love to have you join us on that exciting trip! More information and the application are available at https://www.abnersuarez.com/rwanda.html. Thank you once again for standing with us through your partnership with this ministry. You are in my prayers daily and you hold a special place in my heart. Together we are making a difference in advancing the Kingdom of God. Pursuing Him! Abner Suarez My prayer for you this morning, as it is nearly every day, is that "...you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding" (Colossians 1:9). As I prayed, I also sensed in my heart that this new season (2020) will be:
The holiday season tends to be an extremely busy time of year for all us but I want to encourage you to take quality time and enter the new year intentionally. As I enter each new year, I take time to reflect and meditate on the previous year and ask God for wisdom to enter into the new year as He intends. The following are questions I personally bring before the Lord to inquire of Him as I enter the new year:
I also want to invite you and your family to prayerfully consider joining us for Encounter 20/20 on December 30 and 31 at Cornerstone Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Encounter 20/20 will be two nights of worship, teaching, prophecy and divine encounter. I will be ministering both nights and worship will be led by the Cornerstone worship team and special guest Rob Cole. I cannot think of a better way to begin 2020 than by coming together with the Body of Christ. As I conclude this letter; I want to update you that I have just concluded a life changing weekend at the Government of God Church in Cebu City, Philippines. I ministered three days in seven sessions. Each day we fed all those in attendance lunch and sent them home each day with rice. God moved in an incredibly powerfully way throughout the weekend. Healings and miracles were commonplace and the word of the Lord was released over the nation. Many received life changing encounters. Please agree with me in prayer that God would grant us wisdom on strategies to further the Kingdom of God in the nation of the Philippines. Our desire is to build long-term relationships with local churches, believing for nations to be discipled in our day. Your partnership is what allows us to have these weekends in third world nations among very impoverished people of the world. I am now in Nepal preparing to minister to leaders from around the nation. Thank you for your continued love and support of this ministry. Together we are making a difference and serving our generation! The best is yet to come! Abner Suarez My hope and prayer are that this letter finds you trusting God and living in great hope. This is the greatest time to be alive in the earth for the Body of Christ! My encouragement to you is that you see your future as God sees it, make decisions about your future today, and never ever allow the negativity or failures of the past to define your present. As you live with this mindset, know that your greatest days of eternal life in the earth are still ahead!
I want to continue our foundation series this month by exploring the necessary value of feeding our spirit with the appropriate spiritual food. Our foundation is built properly when we are continually developing and practicing the fundamentals. Humanity is first a spirit being who has a soul that is housed in a body. Our soul (which is composed of our mind, will and emotions) has no mind of its own. The soul will think and therefore the body will behave in the way it has been trained. When we become born again, because we have been given the power of the Holy Spirit to live on the inside of us, God now holds us responsible for feeding our spirit which has been created to rule our body with the appropriate diet. What we feed our spirit defines our life in the earth (Proverbs 4:23). In the natural, if we feed our soul a heavy diet of sugar it will then begin to crave foods with a high volume of sugar. If we are not careful, we can fall victim to addiction. This is obviously a negative example. The goal of the Godhead is that we would find all our needs met in Him and literally become addicted to encountering His beauty and life with a deep longing for His presence. If we are not pursuing this goal, then the foundation of spiritual life is dangerously flawed. The Godhead has deep encounters and secrets He wants to reveal to us that are only discovered in intentional times of fellowship. Over 23 years ago I began this journey of learning to feed my spirit with the appropriate nutrients. I still vividly remember the first day of engaging the Godhead in an intentional time of fellowship. I prayed for just about everything I knew to pray about thinking at least 20 or 30 minutes had passed, only to discover about five minutes had passed. I learned that when we first begin to practice the fundamentals such as fellowship and prayer, our spirit develops much like a natural muscle develops when we exercise. If we have never run a mile it will be nearly impossible to run a marathon on our first day of intentional training. We then must become intentional in developing a lifestyle of fellowship and prayer. As I began to practice an intentional lifestyle of fellowship, I slowly developed a greater capacity to commune with God, sometimes for hours at a time. As I developed (and I'm still developing) this lifestyle of fellowship, I found that my physical body would begin to crave the presence of the Lord. At other times throughout the day, I would sense this invitation from the Holy Spirit to simply sit at His feet and worship the King. I learned like David you can actually develop a craving in your body for the presence of God as you feed your spirit man the presence of God and the word of God. David declared "My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God" (Psalm 84:2). I also learned my practice of fellowship with God created an even greater desire to know God. We can create a greater desire to know God by our daily practice of communion with God. One of the most beautiful aspects of developing within ourselves a greater capacity to know God is that though we can live content, we are not fully satisfied. For eternity God has invited us to explore the reality of knowing Him that will never be exhausted. The created one (us, humanity) can never exhaust the Creator (God). My prayer for you each and every day is that you would continually develop a deeper desire to know God and as you develop a desire to know Him, you would live life fully satisfied! I want to once again thank you for your continued partnership with this ministry. Together we are making an impact and advancing the gospel of the Kingdom in the nations of the earth. In addition to sending your testimonies, please also send us your prayer requests so we may stand with you in faith and believe with you for God's word to be manifested in your and your family's life. I also want to once again thank many of you for joining us during our recent Faith Conference with Dr. Jerry Savelle. I believe it was a life changing event that equipped us to enter 2020 properly. If you would like to purchase an MP3 or CD set from the conference, you can do so in our web store. Pursuing Him, Abner Suarez My prayer for you on a continual basis is that you would grow in the knowledge of God. This is a wonderful season of God releasing the spirit of wisdom and revelation to His body. I believe this is a season of unprecedented revelation for the Body of Christ. I encourage you to continue taking time daily to listen, hear and meditate on the voice of God.
This month I want to share with you a brief story from my life. Over 19 years ago as a graduate student, I began working in an extremely difficult work environment. It became very apparent that my immediate superior would be unrelenting in his difficult posture towards me. One day after returning home from a particularly challenging day, I cried out to God, “God, I do not need to take this anymore.” Immediately the Holy Spirit responded to me so clearly (so clearly that it sounded audible), “You do not need to take this but if you do not stay in this job I cannot do what I want to do in your heart!” This was certainly not the words I wanted to hear from God. I wanted to quit that job and find a much more desirable work environment. I knew what God had spoken yet I went to get counsel from a staff pastor for whom I had been volunteering, hoping he would counsel me to quit. Instead, He encouraged me to stay in the position. I decided to “receive” additional counsel. On this occasion, I went to the Senior Pastor (hoping once again for him to counsel me to leave the job). He too counseled me to stay in the job. Finally, I called my father and told him how difficult the work environment was and that I should certainly be looking for other employment. As you might guess by now, He too counseled me to finish the commitment I had made to the workplace while finishing my graduate degree. By God’s grace, I was able to finish the commitment I had made to work while completing my graduate degree. Looking back all these years later, this challenging work environment where God placed me became a beautifully transformational season. God had actually answered my desire to grow in His character and nature by placing me in an extremely difficult environment, one in which I was being severely mistreated. The difficult situation I was placed in was an invitation to grow in the character and nature of God. I wanted to highlight the key aspects from what I learned and continue to learn from this experience that I believe are foundational in our lives as disciples. Godly counsel is essential for our lives as disciples (Proverbs 19:20-21). God often allows what He could prevent in His sovereignty as an invitation to grow in His nature (I am obviously not speaking about physical or emotional abuse) i.e., Joseph, David, Daniel. Having established these two foundational principles, I want to offer two reflective questions for your consideration this month: Are you a believer who has and allows others/leaders to speak into your life and give you counsel on a consistent basis? Why or why not? What difficult and challenging situation has God currently allowed in your life? Are you intentionally allowing it to be an opportunity to grow in the character and nature of God? I want to once again thank you for your continued partnership with this ministry. Together we are making an impact and advancing the gospel of the Kingdom in the nations of the earth. In addition to sending your testimonies, please also send us your prayer requests so we may stand with you in faith and believe with you for God's word to be manifested in your and your family's life. Pursuing Him, Abner Suarez My prayer is that this email finds you well and growing in the knowledge of God. As I sat to write to you this morning, I had no intention of releasing the following prophetic word, but I felt prompted from the Holy Spirit to share this word that I believe is specific to my partners in this season.
My beloved, do not grow weary in well doing, for you are entering a season of reaping your due reward. For this is a season of acceleration, expansion, and of producing fruit for the Kingdom of God as never before. This is a season to reap the fruit of your fasting, intercessions, quick obedience and declarations. The enemy has tried to get many to grow weary in this season and caused them to be moved by what they see, but I say to you do not be moved by what you see or what you have even heard in the media but only be moved by what you hear Me speak in this season. Only be moved by what you hear from Me! Stand on My word and stand in what I have spoken! Declare what I have spoken. Some of you stand at a crossroads in this season in your life, but I say to you that I have not left you alone. Lean into Me for wisdom, for this is a season of unprecedented wisdom in the earth for My people; wisdom to navigate the season you now find yourself in, wisdom that if applied, will navigate the next 15 years of your life, wisdom for breakthrough long ago believed for, wisdom to birth nations, changing ministries, wisdom to begin businesses, wisdom to begin businesses in which there are currently no markets. This is a season for the Body of Christ to advance the Kingdom of God through the uncommon display of the wisdom of God. The nations of the earth are waiting for the uncommon display of the wisdom of God through the people of God representing His wisdom. So, lean into My wisdom and learn to discern words from My mouth. As you learn what heaven is speaking, declare what heaven is speaking in this season. Declare over yourself, declare in your life, declare over your family, and see quickly the manifestation of what I am speaking in this season. For this is indeed a time of great acceleration for My people, but they must choose to live above the chatter of the kingdoms of the world if they are to embrace the full purposes of heaven in this season. As you know, for a large part of this year in my letters to you the Holy Spirit has directed me to focus on values that are necessary in building our lives in the manner God designed. Jesus taught us in the Sermon on the Mount that two categories exist in humanity--those building foolishly and those building wisely. Those building wisely heard the voice of God and obeyed (and therefore built wisely); those who built foolishly heard the voice of God and did not obey (Matthew 7:24-29). I encourage you to take time to read and meditate on the prophetic word given in this email. Ask God for wisdom and any thought processes and corresponding actions that need to be applied as a result of reading this word. Perhaps it's simply a matter of receiving the word by faith and God showing in the future how it will apply to you. Regardless of your current situation as it relates to the prophetic word, I encourage you to consider the word given in this email. I want to once again thank you for your continued partnership with this ministry. Together we are making an impact and advancing the gospel of the Kingdom in the nations of the earth. My hope is that if you have not already done so you will make plans to join us for Faith Conference October 11 and 12, 2019, at Covenant Love Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina with our very special guest Dr. Jerry Savelle. In addition to sending your testimonies, please also send us your prayer requests so we may stand with you in faith and believe with you for God's word to be manifested in your and your family's life. Pursuing Him, Abner Suarez My prayer is that you and your family are well and pursuing the heart of God. Last month I asked you specifically to pray and join your faith with mine for my trip to Europe (which included ministry in the nations of Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and England). I want to report that God poured out His Spirit in a beautiful way. The word of the Lord was released for nations, regions and churches. Many reported experiencing healings and miracles and hundreds encountered the Holy Spirit in life-changing ways. In total, I ministered in 15 different sessions which included three all-day mini encounter schools. Thank you for your continued partnership with this ministry! Your partnership makes it possible for those moments to continually happen around the world.
Since the beginning of the year, the Holy Spirit has been emphasizing to me the necessity and power of building our lives on the appropriate foundation. In my previous letters to you this year (and through our sermon of the month audio teachings), I have shared with you some of the characteristics that enable us to build on the correct foundation. Our ability to walk out God's purpose in this season is divinely connected to building on the correct foundation. This month I want to share with you the absolute necessity of learning to hear and follow the voice of God. Without the voice of God, a correct foundation in God does not exist. The first voice that Adam ever heard was the voice of God; it was the voice of God that gave him understanding of His purpose and qualified Him for the assignment of ruling the earth. Adam, and therefore humanity, was created to hear and be educated by that voice and to place his confidence and absolute trust in God's voice (Genesis 1:28). The earth forever shifted when Adam and Eve listened and obeyed the wrong voice. The same reality exists today. The most predominant voice we listen to is the one that is defining our lifestyle. God's intention is still that we would live and be governed by His voice. Jesus declared, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4) Notice that Jesus likened the word of God to eating bread. Humanity can only go about three to four days without water and about twenty-one days without eating food. The word of God for the believer is as necessary as food and water for us to function as God intended. While it is a multi-faceted discussion that is much larger than one letter, I want to offer some simple keys to position our hearts to hear the voice of God. The positioning of our hearts determines if we will accurately hear the voice of God. Make a quality decision that you will obey what God speaks to you (I have found that this decision must be made daily). Make a quality decision that God's word (scripture) will be the final authority in your life). Confess daily that as a believer you hear the voice of God and you delight in His voice (John 10:27, Psalm 1:2). Be intentional to read and mediate on scripture (Joshua 1:8, 2 Timothy 3:16-17). Be part of a local body in which the five-fold teaches and preaches the word of God (Ephesians 4:11-14). As you begin to hear, obey quickly (John 2:5). Perhaps you are one who has heard and obeyed the voice of God for many years or you have just begun the journey of learning to hear the voice of God, but I believe that as you apply these foundational truths, you will hear the voice of God and grow in understanding and wisdom. We are indeed in a season of unprecedented wisdom and understanding in the earth. The Godhead is releasing to His people unprecedented wisdom and understanding in this season. May the voice of God and the wisdom of God define every part of your life in this season! Thank you once again for your partnership with this ministry. Together we are making a difference! In addition to sending your testimonies, please also send us your prayer requests so we may stand with you in faith and believe with you for God's word to be manifested in your and your family's life. Pursuing Him, Abner Suarez My prayer is that this email finds you living from the peace of God and that your faith in God remains steadfast. As this email is being published, I am traveling to the continent of Europe once again. This trip will include ministry in the nations of Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, and will be particularly intense with lots of travel and several one-day mini-encounter schools.
