To kick off 2025, Bethel Austin had the joy of hearing from trusted voices — friends and fathers — who released insight, encouragement, and declarations at our New Year prophetic service. We say “yes and amen” to a future and a hope full of God’s goodness over our house.

“So proud of who you are, and all that you’re doing really is amazing… I pray that this next year, this next season, would be a season of twice as much restored to us. Amen. Amen. Bless you. Love you guys. Thanks for being so faithful.”
— Bill Johnson | Senior Leader, Bethel
“I really believe that you guys are going to be in the forefront of something really special. Austin is the capital of Texas, and I believe that God’s placed you there for a reason. I see that you guys are going to be a connection. You’re going to be the bridge between revolution and reformation.”
— Kris Vallotton | Senior Associate Leader, Bethel
“I felt like the Lord was saying that this was going to be a year of fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, especially people being baptized in the Holy Spirit. I saw a move of people being baptized in the Holy Spirit and it kind of becoming like a reputation: that people would come here, hungry for the Lord, to be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
— Dano McCollam | Co-founder of Prophetic Company
“One of the definitions of Austin is majestic — majesty, greatness… I believe that Bethel Austin is called to be the house of God’s majesty, the house of God’s greatness… There’s going to be another level — not just of His presence, but His majesty, His greatness — that’s actually going to be like a banner, and it’s going to extend over not just the ministries, but the people in this place.”
— Bethany Hicks | Co-founder of Prophetic Company
“I heard the Lord say, ‘dream factory.’ And I feel like there’s going to be something over Bethel Austin that as people are reestablished in their identity, their purpose, and the dreams that are inside of them are going to flourish and begin to happen.”
— Steve and Ruth Moore | Lead Pastors, Bethel Online
“And the Lord said this: ‘It’s time to position yourself to ride the wave of heavenly resources that are being released.’ I heard the Lord say, ‘You need to start those businesses that you’ve been prophesied about, that you’ve been praying about.’ You need to expand and ask the Lord to increase your capacity to receive this year because this year will be a year of abundance.”
— Sammy Robinson | Founder of Voice of Revival
“As I was praying for you guys specifically, I just kept hearing the Lord say that, ‘This is my resting place. This is my prepared place.’…I just saw your sanctuary filled with the glory of God. I saw the Presence of the Lord resting in such a tangible and marked way. I see hours in the Presence of God.”
— Hayley Braun | BSSM Third Year Overseer, Bethel
2025 Declarations
Declaration 1
Bethel Austin, we are a rooted house planted deep in Christ Jesus — a house of image-bearing, Holy Spirit-led, blood-bought sons and daughters rooted and grounded in love where our hearts are rightly positioned and postured with actionable trust, devotion, and faith that says no to apathy and says yes to life more abundantly.
We are a presence-pursuing house firmly planted by the rivers of water where we drink deeply from God’s pleasures, flourish with prosperity, are nourished with the fullness of God, and wholeheartedly believe that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
We are a blessed house because we trust in the Lord and our confidence is in Him. We do not fear drought because we never fail to bear fruit; we do not fear the heat because our leaves are always green. Our roots extend through the river of God whose streams make glad the city of God, which is established in our apostolic capital city of Austin — a holy place where the Most High dwells.
Ephesians 3:16–21, John 10:10, Psalm 1:3, Psalm 36:7–9, Colossians 2:7, Jeremiah 17:7–8, Psalm 46:4
Declaration 2
As Bethel Austin is now in the seventh year of our story since opening our doors in September 2018, we declare 2025 is a year of acceleration, motivation, and completion — a season shift into a new era where we experience the profound goodness of the Lord in greater measure.
We will see prayer-saturated dreams come to life! We will see promises fulfilled, solutions released, delays reduced, debts canceled, families united, depression alleviated, health restored, self-control embraced, joy increased, goals achieved, wisdom downloaded, generosity expanded, favor bestowed, provision allotted, miracles multiplied, salvations celebrated, and freedom elevated.
May we feel, know, and operate with destiny-rich purpose and heaven-on-earth authority. May we engage God’s never-ending pursuit of us with His matchless goodness, unfailing love, and limitless mercy — in this year and all the days of our lives thereafter as we dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
We declare Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Let endless praise and thanksgiving be on our lips as testimonies roll in declaring awe for God’s wonderful works: “Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!”
Psalm 23:6, Psalm 107:8–9, Psalm 145, Psalm 106:1
Declaration 3
Holy Spirit, we welcome you to light our 2025 on fire! We come into agreement that a Spirit-led life without Your fire is not optional. Thank You for resting upon us the way You rested upon Jesus. Thank You for Your wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Teach us how to cultivate greater intimacy with the Consuming Fire, convict us to worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, empower us to walk out the character of Christ, destroy fears that hold us back, restore childlike wonder, rev the engine of speaking in tongues more, renew our youth, purify our hearts, and guide us into all truth.
Fill us with overflowing hope, lead us into encounters where we boldly approach the throne of grace, and help us remember wherever You are there is freedom. Awaken our ability to behold the kingdom of God as sons and daughters called to proclaim the gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead.
Holy Spirit, burn bright in us. Strike the match of true repentance as Your fire refines, aligns, and draws us to abide. Rekindle a passion for bold prayer, pure worship, and the precious Bible. Spark throne room moments with the divine Majesty in heaven — face to-face encounters with the One whose eyes burn with flames of love. Ignite all ages with a desire to linger in the presence where we are undone and transformed into the image of God from glory to glory.
In 2025, let the altar of our hearts be prepared for fresh fire to fall.
Isaiah 11:1–2, Psalm 96:9, Hebrews 12:29, Colossians 3:12–15, John 16:13, Romans 15:13, Hebrews 12:29, Matthew 10:7–8, Hebrews 8:1–2, Revelation 1:14, 2 Corinthians 3:17–18
