In this special excerpt, Doug Addison is back from sabbatical and ministering to the Partners. He releases what the Lord is showing him in this season.
Below are some notes from our Partners-only Monthly Mentoring Session Q&A. These sessions have been recorded and you can access them in full by becoming a Partner today! Find out more at DougAddison.com/Give.
Partner question: The enemy has been making heavy-duty attacks in groups of threes. What is that about? Also, can the enemy see into the future?
Doug’s answer: I agree that there’s been some heavy-duty stuff going on, but “the threes” are just trying to duplicate the Bible.
There’s the concept that if two or three agree together it shall be done… and that a cord of three strands is not easily broken, according to Ecclesiastes.
And so, Father, we ask that You break this off.
The plans of the Lord are greater!
Whether or not the enemy can see things, the Lord is greater. Especially in the season we’re in right now, things are going to shift around.
We’re going to see greater understanding.
We just declare right now that the plans of the Lord are greater, and the word of the Lord is greater in Jesus’ name.
Partner question: I’m seeing a lot of repeated numbers lately: 111, 222, 333, etc.
Doug’s answer: Yeah, me too. I’m seeing 1111 and 111 and the meaning could be different for each one. It could be Bible verses or saying that things are lining up.
111 could be referencing Deuteronomy 1:11, that the Lord will bless you 1000 times.
Deuteronomy 11:11 is very powerful.
But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.
The Lord is releasing His plans and purposes over us. We’re entering a new season.
Deuteronomy 11:11 is talking about entering a new time. Moses gets up and prophecies that they’re entering a new time.
Sometimes 333 is just showing that the Lord is lining things up.
When you see repeated numbers, look up Bible verses and continue to pray over it.
God’s so good that in the midst of things He’ll speak through the clock… He’ll speak through everything.
Father, I thank You for that. I pray that You would give greater understanding into numbers, whether it’s a Bible verse or a special time or a date. Give us wisdom about how to respond.
Partner question: The song “Urgent” by Foreigner came on twice today. At the same time, I felt an urgency for the world. How should I respond in this situation?
Doug’s answer: I saw it too, “urgency.” I feel the Lord is releasing things about how to stand right now.
Even when the song came on it, it’s something the Lord is pointing out to you.
In the midst of everything, worship the Lord—that is a powerful thing!
Partner question: I am still dealing with “hope deferred” discouragement. How can I endure to the time of fulfillment?
Doug’s answer: In Proverbs 13:12, the Bible says that hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is the tree of life.
Hope deferred basically just means that you’ve been waiting and not seeing things come to pass with the timing or the way you might want them to happen.
Father, we pray right now for all the hope deferred, all the promises that have seemed delayed, and everything that’s been happening right now. We pray right now that You would give us the true tree of life.
It’s found in Genesis and in the book of Revelation. The true tree of life is the true word of the Lord.
We pray right now, Lord, for the release of everything… Release of discouragement, release of the strongholds and the strong men… Just break off all these attacks right now in Jesus’ name.
PS: Doug is back from his sabbatical and ready to lead us into an exciting new year of ministry! This is a year full of hope, restoration and renewed focus.
