1 0 : B V O V began to speak from his prophetic oce. Knowing him for as long as I have, I can quickly discern when he transitions from conversation to revelation, which is what was happening. As he began to deliver a word from The LORD, I reached for my pad and pencil and began to write. (I was fulfi lling The WORD in Habakkuk 2:2 that declares, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.") First, Brother Copeland said, "Watch the next seven years. Many changes are going to take place." Then, the word of The LORD came clear about the new year. "2025 WILL COME ALIVE!" He continued by saying, "Next year, this country will come alive. So, prepare for 2025." Praise God, I thought. We are receiving our marching orders for the end of this year and on into the new year. This is truly a prophetic word and vision from The LORD for us to pay close attention to. Allow me to address some important things relating to the ministry of the prophet. Amos 3:7, New King James Version, says, "Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets." God reveals those things He wants to accomplish through His prophets. He always has. Hosea, Zechariah, Micah, Jeremiah and Isaiah all saw and declared the coming of Jesus. They declared: "There is One coming! There is One coming!" The result was, as we all know, that Jesus was born into the earth. A prophet is someone who has visions and revelations. A prophet is a "seer"—one who sees things in the spirit before we do. They see out ahead of the rest of us by God's divine appointment. Many years ago, Pastor Lynne Hammond was ministering to the KCM sta regarding the ministry of the prophet. She said: "Prophets are like eagles that are able to see far out into the distance. There is an apparatus that comes down over their eyes that makes things clear. They can see farther than any being on earth. That is the way of the prophet. It is not a natural eye. It is an eye that God gives to them to see things that are yet to come." Words are the primary equipment of a prophet's ministry. They come down from heaven and into the heart of the prophet for A brand-new year is right around the corner. What should we expect from 2025? What should be our vision? I want to share a vision given to me that I thought would be good to pass along to you. This year's Southwest Believers' Convention was tremendous! The WORD of God was so rich. Our guest speakers delivered messages that strengthened us for these end times. At Eagle Mountain International Church, the convention begins on the Sunday morning before it starts at the convention center in downtown Fort Worth and concludes the following Sunday morning. It is a long, but rewarding, week for all who serve. At 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the day after the convention concluded, I received a very signifi cant phone call from Brother Copeland! We talked about the convention and how wonderful it was. We also discussed several other things. Suddenly, Brother Copeland W I T H "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." Habakkuk 2:2, (New King James Version) began to speak from his prophetic oce.
