The word posted as Word of The Lord 2020
Word of the Lord for 2020
As we look at the year 2020 with eyes of faith and the Spirit of Prophecy, there is a change that has and is taking place. Here’s what I see:
There is expanding faith in Christ emerging around the
world. Even in pagan Europe and much of
the USA there is a hunger for reality. I
won’t call it revival. It’s more than
that. It’s an awaking to the Truth. You see it in countries many times in open
opposition to faith in Christ. In the USA it’s not happening inside the
church.. it is happening in arenas the church has never been able to reach nor
accept. Kanye West is the crack in the
door that is opening. Many doubt of his
conversion. This is not good. We can’t know. We can only look at the fruit
of his evangelization. Downplaying this
will cause a cloud to hang over him as he does what he believes is right. The next move of God is ALWAYS rejected by
the last one. It’s high time for a fresh
wave. There are many ready to take the
place of those who came before and they will do it better than we did. The baton is being passed into good hands.
Many in the public arena have begun to openly declare their faith
in God. The godlessness of our society
is taking a toll on families and children in particular. While it seems desperate, there is always a powerful
reaction to the vacuum created by faithlessness. The God shaped hole in the soul is a real
thing.
In addition to the reaction of society in the USA to the emptiness
now apparent in our culture, there are reactions taking place to the rapid
normalization of things only a couple decades ago would have been considered
aberrations. These are not yet pushed
back but there is an Ebenezer stone standing against such.. even in secular
culture. The culture is waking up. There is a turn. A shift.
A new wave is coming. Much of the
establishment will decry the cultural rejection of many of those things that
are now openly accepted.
It is as if there has been a great plague of locusts that has invaded and destroyed our nation from within. They have eaten away at things that were
intended to stand. They have become the
norm. Many simply accepted these things
or hid their head in the sand. They
turned away from the invasion of locusts and therefore let it happen… as the
hoards chewed away.
Normalized in the last quarter century by this hoard of
locusts:
- Accepted open Homosexuality
- Homosexual Marriage
- Transsexuals as normal
- Open and legal pot use
- Abortion becoming almost a sacrament, reinforced by the supreme court
- Cancel Culture - trying to destroy people with opposing worldviews
- Racism real and imagined. Too many false alarms by the locusts degraded .
- Increasing acceptance of Socialism as a solution for America which has failed every time it’s been tried. The locust of lies.
- Changing anything that makes life tolerable in the vain hope that we can control our climate which is always changing. A phantom menace locust
- Sustainability fraud that has become a near religion along with climate change. The whole green energy fiasco. It can’t work unless we go back to the dark ages. No one who doesn’t encourage the use of nuclear energy isn’t serious about being sustainable or green. In fact is the locust of control and taxation
- Acceptance of fraudulent voting particularly by those not citizens
- An openly corrupt biased and deceitful media landscape is a key locust
- Movies and TV that once would have been horror shows not normal. Violent and degraded movies are now the norm.
- The idea that owning a gun is somehow immoral and needs to be stopped. This is a locust that will get people killed.
- The argument by some locusts that pedophilia is normal and should be accepted.
- Fear based anything is now being rejected. We have had too many false alarms, doomsday predictions and pronouncements like “We are running out of oil”
- The whole “WOKE” culture locust is being rejected by the masses
- Recognizing that the idea that internationally we can all get along by sacrificing ourselves is now in full retreat. This is a compromise locust.
- The so called resistance and its brown shirt locusts, the ANTIFA mafia is being rejected. They don’t represent anyone except anarchy. This goes for many groups that started out with good intentions but have morphed into evil purposes. The southern poverty law center is one such. Many race based groups are now simply anti establishment without a purpose and people are rejecting this action.
- The war on Christianity, Christmas Easter and all such by the secular culture is being rejected. Even secular people have had enough of this chewing locust.
- Morality as a lifestyle, keeping your word, staying clear minded and upright. The single motherhood trend is reversing. Not enough fathers have stepped up. But some will. The locust of bastard culture is being identified.
- Open immorality which manifests itself in movies, TV, entertainment, music, stage plays and a sewer on the internet is being seen for what it is, a virus that must be corralled. It is a pornography locust.
- The concept of Borders, Culture and Language is beginning to be recognized by many as the benchmarks of a civil society. The open borders, all cultures are equal and multi linguistic USA is a locust that has impoverished us all.
- Acceptance that politicians who go into office flat broke come out as multimillionaires and there is no corruption. This is a fraud locust.
- Protecting criminals because of ethnicity and allowing them to continue to steal, kill and destroy is a satanic locust.
While many wonder why these things have become normalized
like the invasion of locusts it is, the truth is there has been prophetic
silence on this except for a few. Pulpits
remain mute. These changes took place
right under our spiritual leaders noses without so much as a peep from
them. Shame on them. We have a highest number of churches in
Chicago and the highest crime rate in the USA.
There is a problem. These churches do not provide divine guidance, and
worse in some cases justify the rebellion on the streets by social justice
sermons. Therefore:
When people do not receive divine
guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful. Proverbs 29:18
There are many things that in the New Year will be
welcome. There are continual health
advances. There will once again be
breakthrough discoveries and introductions that will promise longer and more
fruitful lives. As the Baby Boom
generation continues to age.. This will change the face of aging even more.
The world is a more peaceful place than ever before. It will continue. We have just experienced one of the best
decades in human history. We are blessed to be alive at this time.
There will continue to be exposures that will rock the
political, media and entertainment world.
The guardians of evil will try to protect those with ill intent but
without success.
Many will find themselves in alignment with people they
never thought they could be. Culturally,
economic strata and ethnicity will matter less and less.
There will come a rebellion in the spirit against all those
things that war with the Body of Christ.
Make no mistake, the war is real and it is heating up. Deciding what side you will take will require
you to reject the mainstream culture that media and entertainment pushes down
your throats.
There is a force in the world that wants to corrupt you and
your loved ones. It is in direct
opposition to the Divine Nature of Jesus in you:
His divine power has given us
everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who
called us by His own glory and excellence.
Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so
that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you
have escaped the corruption in the world
caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every
effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to
self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness,
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 2 Peter 1:3-7
There is much to be thankful for in the year to come. When we see past the news of the day and the
drama inherit it, the constant repeat of tragic events, you will see the
goodness and provision the Lord is being provided right now. You are on the earth for a special time. This is your call.. live and be a
representative of all that is Christ.
Things that will come to pass. Europe will find new leaders and new
direction. The former power structures cannot
stand in the face of a renewed bold populace.
Look for Italy, France, Germany and Portugal to make a fresh start for
the better.
China will continue to be a threat to the free world but
will also demonstrate that it is in fact weaker than anyone understands. Yes they have a great army and a great
economic engine, but it cannot afford to wage war on its best customer. The current policy of keeping them at bay is
critical. They are linked to North Korea
which will rattle sabers but without effect.
China cannot afford a war there…again.
The efforts for reunification will come up. The demands that Kim will make will stop any
potential. He can not relinquish his
power and would require a unified Korea be under his influence.
The middle east will continue with eruptions of violence but
at some point will become more peaceful.
Turkey continues to flex its muscle and will try to establish
dominance.. without success.
Africa that has been so backwards and lost for so long will
start to find new footings. It is now
the number one continent on the planet for Christianity. That is about to make changes in the culture.
Venezuela will finally fall.
It will come from within and without.
This is like a giraffe balancing itself on the head of a pin. It can’t
hold.
Hatred of Jews and Christians is going to increase in many
places. Mostly driven by an anti Christ
spirit and the cult of Islam. There will
be calls to stop it, but the dominant culture really doesn’t want it to stop. Secretly they want Christians to shut up. Make no mistake there is no compromise with
the culture that hates you and what you stand for. This overt and direct persecution will purify
believers and result in building the kingdom even more.
Education in the western world will go through a decline in
acceptance. This lack of support for the indoctrination of young people
without providing an actual education will result in more and more calls for
the public sector to remove itself from this arena.
Entertainment Media will try to shock in 2020. Yet.. at the same time successful faith based
movies and TV shows with compelling redemptive themes will emerge. Not yet reversing the curse.. but pushing
back.
Political upheaval at all levels of government is in full
force. Once again the plan of God in
placing President Trump in his position will demonstrate what corruption there
has been. Much will be revealed. Some not favorable for the President. There will be continued attempts to silence
him, some even physically. He will not. There are too many who pray strong prayers of
protection. Many of the old guard will
be replaced, too few however. The
political and cultural divide will deepen but those who stand with the
President will prevail.
Discredited news media will suffer more and more with a
doubtful eye. Newspaper, TV, Cable and
internet are now becoming sources of misinformation and propaganda. This trend
will result in new outlets.. some not even yet understood to keep proper
information flowing. It is imperative
for the Child of God to seek truth and reject lies. There are so many. Some coming from supposed godly sources. Not
everything that comes from these shadowy sources is credible.
The traditional Church in the West has a serious illness. They are dying of lack of viability and
influence in its realm. Many of these churches
are closing. In 2020 more than 5000
churches and parishes will close for lack of support. At the same time in 2020 more than 4000 new
church plants will spring up. Many
megachurches will absorb the diasporas of members and some of the new church
plants will become statistics for closing in 2021. The mainline and denominational churches will
suffer the most closures. This is
actually healthy overall for the Body of Christ. Life Death and Rebirth is the theme of the
Kingdom.
The family in America will continue to find its new identity. Right now unmarried couples living as family,
many times blended is becoming a cultural norm.
Single Motherhood while on the decline will still be dominant in some
circles. Children raised without a
foundation of faith will find themselves gullible to the wiles of the devil. There is a need to restore the honor of
marriage and family. This used to be the
mission of the church, but today we have churches with members and even those
in leadership living in sin without recognition. Marriage seminars are meaningless to the
unmarried. The family in the west and
even in the church is in crisis. This
will continue because the culture has diluted the message of children and
family from the Pulpit.
The economy and business in 2020 will be volatile, more volatile
than 2019, yet prosperity has a long tail.
There will be difficult, even frightening times in 2020. Yet there are Godly men and women in business
who will show themselves strong in the year to come and take a stand for righteousness. Certainly there are charlatans, but those
with honor and good intent will shine.
Look for open declarations of faith from more and more businesses. Boycott will not be effective. It wasn’t in 2019 and that lack of economic
power the enemy has tried to wield has now been show to be empty.
The Child of God must stand in this time. I hear the Lord giving this instruction to
his sons and daughters:
Stay pure and walk in love.
The enemy is full of hate.. the antidote for this is
Our great desire is that you will
keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what
you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and
indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to
inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance. Hebrews 6:11-12
Be ready to give an answer when you are confronted by those
against My Will:
But even if you should suffer for what is
right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.” But in
your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to
everyone who asks you the reason for the hope you possess. But respond with
gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander
you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.… 1 Peter 3:14-16
Do not compromise with the enemy. I will deliver you. In 1 Samuel chapter 11 there is a story that speaks to the danger of compromise. The enemy
wants you to compromise so he can disgrace the Kingdom. Don’t fall prey to it. Stand firm.
Speak to the culture and those lost in it. Use words of hope, not condemnation. The enemy will condemn, I call to them. They
no longer are persuaded of their sin, but they are persuaded by their lack of
hope. Call to they by the Hope you have.
Do not believe in every lying spirit, old wives tale and conspiracy
that you hear or read. Many of them are plots of the enemy to discourage
you. Do not be afraid for I am with
you. Victory is yours.. and you can walk
in it despite the lies the enemy is using to try to stop you.
