“This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24 NLT)
“Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” (Lamentations 3:23 NLT)
“He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!” (Psalm 103:5 NLT)
Back in January of 2018 the Lord rescued me from a state of depression, and put me on the path of renewed purpose. He reawakened me to the “call” (assignment) He had given me, and let me know that my life was far from over.
In 2019 He clearly let me know that He was going to give me back the 30 years that I had allowed to be stolen. He also let me know that He was going to use me to raise up an army of “Super – Senior Saints” who would take hold of the promise of long, strong life worth living with nothing missing or broken to lead the charge in expanding the Kingdom of Heaven throughout the Earth.
Today I am celebrating my 61st birthday. In response to the Lord’s promises to me last year I celebrated what I called my “60/30” celebration. I am calling today my “61/31” celebration. You will understand why in just a moment.
As a reminder to myself, as I encourage myself in the Lord, I am going to share what the Lord shared with me in preparation for my “60/30” celebration. I hope this will also encourage you. What the Lord is doing for me He also desires to do for you.
On October 23rd 2019 at 1:30 a.m., while working as a third shift custodian at Resurrection Life Full Gospel Church, the Lord clearly spoke the following to my spirit. He instructed me to take out my phone and speak out what He was saying in order to print the following:
“On August 25th 2020 I am going to Supernaturally release you into a long-term Ministry. In the natural, you have a lineage that allows you to fully expect to live to be 90. I am adding My “Super” to your “natural”. I will Supernaturally invert your age so that at 60 you will be 30, at 90 you will be 60, and at 120 you will be 90. At that point it will be up to you whether you stay in this earth or go home. The only thing that will alter this plan will be My return. “
“I have given you the promise Eric. Now I am giving you the assignment. You are to work out your body daily from now until August 25th. You are to do your part to make a 60 year old body 30 years old. You are to immediately search the scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to find the passages, the verses, to run with. You are to find the verses, write them down, then memorize them. Verses of Life. Verses of longevity. Verses of Youth. Verses that will give you the supernatural ability to walk this out. You are my child Eric and I’m giving you Supernatural life to fulfill the call that I put in you. You will run and not grow weary, you will walk and not faint, you will fulfill every call and every promise that I’ve given you.”
It has been a year and the Lord has been faithful. Every day I am getting one step closer to becoming, and doing, all that I was created to be, and called to do.
It is never too late. You have never wandered too far off the path to return. You have not been forgotten or forsaken. No matter how long it has been, the Lord has your best days waiting for you!
Like me, if you are advancing in age, the Lord will renew your mind, renew your youth, and give you the great privilege of living by…
