Numbers 6:24,25 - "The Lord bless you, and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; "
2020 will be marked with great blessing but do not forget Him when you have need of nothing. Do not forget Him when the desires of your heart have been answered and fulfilled. Do not forget Him when that promotion you were desperate for has been given to you or where things are great and wonderful.
When we enter into a season of abundant blessing it can often be
Hebrews 2:1,4 - "For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will."
We are stepping into a powerful and fruitful time in the Lord -- a time to flourish from the oil of the Holy Spirit and deep revelation knowledge of the word.
God wants to bear witness through us, to testify abo
1 Corinthians 3:9 - "For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building."
Man was made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26) with the purpose to create with God. Our Father doesn't need us but He desires to partner with His family. Man was created to work in union with God. We are co-laborers as it says in 1 Corinthians 3:9.
In this decade, we are not only going to prophesy about the things we see, we are also going to make them reality, bringin
Romans 8:37 - "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
There is a "parting of the red sea" happening in 2020. You are crossing over into the land that is full of breakthrough, blessing, increase, overflow and the abundance of God. There have been things that have kept you going in circles and in confusion, stopping you from moving forward.
There is not only great victory over these areas, but greater insight, vision, and clarity to what has
The calling on your life has made you a target. Indeed, the enemy is intensely jealous of the LOVE the Father has for you, and he hates you for having what he can never have. Yet, in the darkness of the night, you've endured the enemy's hatred and now the sunrise on your trial has nearly dawned.
Awakening now, you realize that all along it was only the pruning of the Lord you've endured, and all the enemy has thrown at you has worked to make you an intense and glory-filled warrior of the
2 Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
Hebrews 11:1 gives the definition of faith, "Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen" (The Passion Translation).
If we look at Abraham as an example, walking by faith requires you to go to a place you do not know (His purpose for your life), one that God will reveal as you walk in obedience (Genesis 1
Ephesians 3:16,19 - 16 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being...19—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
The Lord wants you to see His power and His strength but He is also wanting you to see YOUR authority in Him to use the Word of God --what it means to partner with Jesus, to see the Holy Spirit move upon your faith – a faith that is rooted in what HE has spoken – and then to see HIM do
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)
What you're going through right now is getting you ready for what's about to happen to you next in 2020! In fact, your 'next' is your 'now.' This is your season to be creative. You will design things that are not from you, but from Him. Strategies are downloaded from Heaven and uploaded to you by God's choosing. People will be placed intentionally into areas of your life to help expedi
Philippians 3:10 - "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection."
Jesus said to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25).
There is something different between saying you have faith and then being pressed into a tight corner and proving that you have faith. If you believe, it will be done according to your faith. (Mark 11:24)
May God give us the "fellowship of His sufferings" (Philippians 3:10) that when we see a
Awake and arise, for you have slumbered long enough on the bed of disappointment, rejection, pain, and abandonment.
He will cause you to want to live, to declare the glory of the Lord your God in the land of this living.
Cast aside everything that holds you back, whether it is a broken dream, a broken vision, a broken promise. He has seen the tears, the pain, and the confusion, but He promises you in His Word that He makes a way where there seems to be no way.
CROSS OVER TO
2 Corinthians 10:4 - "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to tear down strongholds."
Wherever a stronghold exists, it is a demonically induced pattern of thinking. Specifically, it is a "house made of thoughts" which has become a dwelling place for satanic activity.
The strongholds upon which demons rely consist of our own thoughts, attitudes, and opinions which are in agreement with evil.
The strongholds that a
"Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31
Eagles love the storm. The eagle uses the storm's wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles use the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.
The Word and th
For those who are faint in their heart be of good cheer for the Lord has overcome all that surrounds you. Remember He said, "lo, I am with you always, even until the end of time." (Matthew 28:20)
Draw Him into the situation that is trying to draw you into the valley of fear. As you draw Him in His faith within you (Galatians 2:20) rises up, fear will bow down and diminish.
Let the faith that He has given you -- let that gift be opened to a greater degree. Release the faith that is w
Ezekiel 26:9 - "He will pound your walls with battering rams and demolish your towers with sledgehammers."
The battering rams and the sledgehammers are a representation of the Word of God, and the force behind it. As you begin to declare the Word of God in 2020 like a battering ram, with the backing of Heaven, you will break through the gates and walls that have kept you from breakthrough.
In the story of King Jehoash and the prophet Elisha (2Kings 13:14-19), the prophet told th
Isaiah 61: 1, 2-- is a familiar passage, yet ever-powerful-in order to understand more about wielding our God-given authority in the power of His might.
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor...."
There is an anointing available to us to proclaim, proph
Isaiah 43: 18-19: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
We have been instructed to forget the former things and warned not to dwell on the past. Our ability to perceive the new will be greatly affected by our willingness to forget the former things and leave the past behind. Isaiah's words encourage us to expect the unexpected.
"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness...for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:10
Outwardly when we are persecuted or suffer abuse - inwardly we experience "heaven" as God deals mightily with our soul, breaking its addiction to man's approval and liberating us to truly live for Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
The Scripture instructs us to
2 Chronicles 15:4 - "But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them."
Many believers are not aware that the word "salvation" includes a whole lot more than being born again and going to heaven when you die.
It actually means "material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension, preservation, pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness, and soundness.
One might say, "What if the trouble I am facing is o
Joel 2:25 - "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten..."
God can and will restore all the lost years that the enemy tried to vanquish you. He tried to annihilate you (the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy), but he could not stop you! God's Spirit gives life.
He can restore in 2020 the purpose that you feel that you missed. Today is the day of salvation. "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgettin
#1) ALWAYS carry salvation tracts with you. You never know when you will give one out.
#2) Carry New Testaments, with tracts in the first page, every time you take a bus ride. When the bus starts, go up and down the aisle and ask if anyone would like a free New Testament.
#3) Print our your testimony and give it along with a tract and/or New Testament. (Many people get saved after hearing what God did for someone else)
#4) Go to a local soup kitchen and pass out tracts a
Revelation 22:1 - "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb."
The Lord calls His vessels, those that are even empty; He calls them to come and drink of His Spirit, to come to be filled fresh, strong.
His wind will blow away the staleness, the familiar, the comfortable, but it will blow in a NEW THING:
You will know it by His peace that will be in the midst of it.
You will know it by the instr
"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ." - Ephesians 4:15
To those beginning their spiritual journey, God reveals Himself as Father. The picture is of a loving father embracing and reassuring his children. After knowing God as Father He goes on to reveal Himself as Warrior, "The LORD is a warrior..." (Exodus 15:3 NIV). The picture is of a warrior training recruits for battle. To those who know God as both Father and Warrior He rev
Romans 8:28 - "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Sometimes our lives are like this. We say, "Father, it's dark. I'm stuck. Where are You in my life?" We cannot see what He is doing. But in the meantime, our Father is operating in His time zone. He says, "I am moving." -- It's "Now O'Clock"! -- It's the local time of Heaven -- It's Kingdom time.
In the book of Revelation, "
John 13:13-15 -- "Jesus said, 'You call me 'Teacher and Lord' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. You also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.'"
John 20:21 -- "Just as the Father has sent me forth so I am sending you."
This is certainly a command of Jesus for the Body of Christ to meet the needs (both temporal and spiritual) of new believers so they may indee
He is calling many of His people out of still, dead works in 2020. He is calling them to come in to where there is the action of His Spirit. When there is action there will bring a reaction. It will be a reaction of healing, of salvation, of the baptism of His Spirit. Get ready to be a people who look for the 'reactor' of the Lord your God.
In this process, many are going to be compelled in the midnight hours to fall on their knees and ask for fresh revelation of their CALLING in Christ.
