Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy – 2020 at last. We have heard the absolute pile-up of prophetic words concerning this year as far back as ten years ago.
During those ten years, by putting our heads down, trusting in our God and inching forward, we could say with Paul:
12 “Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14).
All of us are positioning ourselves to receive that 2020 promised clarity of vision (in the spiritual realm). All of us would love to walk into the glorious prophetic words spoken over each one of us during the last ten years – (with the arrival of the fulfillment being in 2020).
It is as though we have heard and believed but waited a long time for these glorious words to overtake us:
“Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills will be dissolved” (Amos 9:13).
It has been stated for years that 2020 will be such a year. All of us are holding our breath, for we would love to see some of these prophetic words mature into actuality. Seeing our mighty God fulfill His promises is among the greatest thrills we are given on this earth.
Also, seeing our Heavenly Father more clearly and being drawn into a deeper intimacy with our God, is truly “heaven on earth”.
So – here we are at the year 2020. If the prophets are correct, we are in for one amazing ride. The prophetic words are so diverse and so universally good that I, for one, am looking forward to this year with unabashed hope.
2020. Here we are!
