2024 - The Year of....

"2024 - The Year of..."

By Steve Backlund

HAPPY New Year!


Here is what I am hearing prophetically as I pray into 2024.


2024 is the year of God multiplying what we dedicate to Him
to meet the seemingly overwhelming needs around us - In Matthew 14, 15,000 people were hungry and needed food. The disciples recommended to Jesus that they send them away to find food on their own, but Jesus had a higher perspective. Jesus said to them, ‘They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.’ And they (the disciples) said to Him, ‘We have here only five loaves and two fish'’” (Matthew 14:16-17). They believed the need was too big for the resources they had. Jesus did not agree with this belief and the little was multiplied to supernaturally feed the multitudes. 


We live in an hour where:

  • There are numerous seemingly overwhelming needs around us, in our nation, and in the world. 
  • We are tempted to believe that what we have could not even make a dent in the problems that need to be solved, thus we might think we are powerless. 
  • When God says to us, “You solve this problem,” most would say like the disciples,”What we have is too small.”


Here’s the truth for 2024:

  • We already have what is needed to bring breakthrough and provision (consider the widow in 1 Kings 4:1-7).
  • As we dedicate what we do have to the glory of God, it will be multiplied supernaturally to do astounding exploits. 
  • It is a season to dedicate or rededicate our lives, our homes, our possessions, our talents, our relationships, our finances, our favor, our hobbies, and everything else to the Lord. As we put these in His hands, they will be multiplied to astoundingly meet needs. 
  • David dedicated his passion for slingshots to God and it saved a nation. Right now the Lord is breathing on your passions and hobbies to use them to save nations and bring “Goliaths” down. 
  • God also is going to use your short prayers to change circumstances in 2024.


2024 is the year of God multiplying what we dedicate to Him
to meet the seemingly overwhelming needs around us. There is grace on you at this moment to dedicate specific aspects of your life to Jesus. As you do, you will see Him use these to be the miracles in the lives of others. 


I asked Igniting Hope’s Connie Jones and Ash Anderson to share with you what they are hearing for 2024 as well.


Connie Jones (Associate Director of Igniting Hope Ministries)

2024 is the year of John 10:10b - “I have come to give life and life more abundantly.”

  • Life as God has it, in abundance, till it overflows 
  • Restoration of what’s been taken and an awakening of what's been silenced
  • Family, giftings, vision, and dreams are coming back to divine purpose and order - XYZ 


Great revelation of the authority of Christ in the believer is being released and with it an eruption of triumphant prayer (James 5:14-18)


2024 is the year of the mirror of the word of God. The church is seeing her true reflection in Jesus.


Ash Anderson (Director of Operations for Igniting Hope Ministries) )


2024 is the year of long-awaited promises coming to pass. It’s time to give birth to dreams that you’ve been carrying. You’ll be holding in your arms the tangible manifestation of God’s promises. 

”“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor!” (Isaiah 54)

From children, family and financial restoration, to physical healing, God is replacing your disappointment with manifested dreams and promises.
