Finish 2021 Well

We are almost done with 2021.

You did it you made it through this year and last.

How should we finish this last week of 2021?

What are your favorite things of 2021?

You just gave God a thank offering

Psalm 56:12–13 NASB95

12 Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You. 13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.

Thank Offering:

Psalm 107:6 NASB95

6 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.

Psalms 107 mentions four occasions for which a thank offering would be appropriate: successful passage through the desert, release from prison, recovery from a serious illness, or survival of a storm at sea.

Desert = nothingness, no life, not being fed or watered...

Prison = being trapped, held against your will...

Serious Illness = what you thought would be the end of you...

Storm at Sea = what you felt was overpowering you...

God told us we are His Key in 2021

You are My Key

The word for ALife this year is KEY. I am not just giving you keys this season; I am making each of you into a key. I am shaping you to be ready for unlocking and shedding light. You are the key that will open what lies ahead of you. Like a master key-maker, I am meticulously cutting you into the key that your spheres of influence require. I am carving you out of Gold, each with specific and articulate designs on the key's handle and shaft. Each key has three-pronged flags.

The words I give you will cut and shape you, so you will fit in place and be effective to unlock and illuminate. There are many counterfeits, but you are the authentic originals. You are in a season of being shaped and getting clarity to the key you are. Some of you are keys to unlock and or open doors. Some of you are a decipher key to understand maps, riddles, and heavenly secrets. You are all keys to cultures. You are a key that makes cultures into My culture and My kingdom. So in this season, seek out My Word and let yourself take shape to be ready. Do not be mistaken that the power comes from Me, and you are in my hand. I am the one who places you in the locks and secret places, and I am the one who wields the key. You do fit, and you will be effective.
