For the Year 2020…

>> Have an expectation >> Hope

The expectations of the righteous shall not be cut short

• There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off….Proverbs 23:18
• Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”…Psalm 58:11

>> Have Pleasing Faith

• >> Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see…Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
• >> And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him…Hebrews 11:6

Other Highlights…

We have a covenant right to wealth, without any detrimental effect on any aspect of our lives, especially on our health and our soul (mind, will, emotions)

• But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power / ability / strength to get / gain / make wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as it is this day…Deuteronomy 8:18

Wealth gives influence

• And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”…Ecclesiastes 9:16

We need to be operating under the government & economy of heaven

• Seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus

Breakthrough into the presence of God

ARCI >> 2020: The year of Breakthroughs & Divine Magnification

• The Lord says to me, this day / month / year, He will begin to magnify me in the sight of all Israel …for His kingdom and for His glory…Joshua 3:7

 >> 20/20 Vision – Clarity & Alignment

• … for the supernatural to manifest
• … for the Kingdom to manifest >> Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done

• When we see eye to eye according to God’s perspective
• When the way I look at a situation is synchronized with the way God looks at the situation
• Alignment with Christ is aligning with His Word
• When one aligns with God, other things in ones life also come into alignment

Alignment with what is written in my book in heaven = the will of God for my life??

• How many of us know that we have books in heaven?
• You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed…Psalm 139:16 NLT

 

Psalm 40:7-8 (NKJV)

• Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
• I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”

 

In 2020

• May we not only come into alignment with what God has written about us…
• … but also delight in doing the will of God for my life.
• His kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven… Matthew 6:10
• >> His kingdom come, His will be done in all aspects of my life as it is written in heaven??

The kingdom of God will manifest faster in my life when the will of God takes precedence in my life …

• …. in my health, finances, relationships
• … that aspect (if not all) that I yield to Him so He can give it life and life to its fullest (in abundance) thereby adding the divine to it – Divine health, Divine finance & prosperity, Divine relationships with God and man.

 

What God has authored, He is obligated to finish… for His Name’s sake 

• God watches over His Word to perform it…Jeremiah 1:12
• For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let Myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another…Isaiah 48:11 (BSB)

Unique year >>

• Some alignment with God’s & Man’s calendar

5780 …Hebrew Calendar

• … year of the ox
• … picture of the mouth wide open
•   I need to  labor / work (OX) at declaring or saying (Mouth) what I want to see & have it manifest during the year 5780
• 5 + 7 + 8 + 0 = 20

 

20

• Picture of the hand
• https://www.hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Kaf/kaf.html

 

The hand is considered a symbol of blessing, with the right hand considered greater

• Genesis 48, Jacob / Israel places his right hand over Ephraim the younger and his left hand on Manasseh the older thereby making Ephraim greater than Manasseh

2020 – two hands…double hands…double blessing??

… 2020, not 2019 or 2021

• >> points to being in step /aligned / synchronized  with the Lord & His Word, not ahead nor behind, but with Him

The Hand of God and the hand of man

• >> The Hand of God comes to assist the hand of man to give divine assistance
• When on God’s right hand, and walking in the same direction means He holds my left hand.
• God’s Right Hand ( Strength & Power) takes up my left hand ( the foolish and weak ) to grant me  >> Supernatural breakthrough & divine magnification

>> Job got favor with God & man when he was finally aligned to God…Job 42:10-11 (KJV)

• And the LORD turned the captivity (restored fortunes or prosperity) of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before…
• Family, relatives & friends went to befriend him again, comfort and console him & bless him with wealth

• >> The Lord will work out everything for my good so long as I love Him and am pursuing / aligned to His purposes …Romans 8:28..
• >> In Christ, I can grow in wisdom, stature & favor with God & man…Luke 2:52

Judgement comes with release of my blessings??….

>> Justice / Righteousness executed results in bringing Shalom to that situation

• The enemy has taken ( killed, stolen or destroyed) the good things that God has for me
• When the enemy has been judged, he has to release my blessings

• You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious, That the LORD God might dwell there….Psalm 68:18

This year 2020, with Emmanuel, my enemies can get (more than) double trouble…for their trouble upon my life…

• >> paying back & restoring 7 fold of what they stole…Proverbs 6:31
• >> The Lord avenging my enemies 7 fold (Cain – Genesis 4:15) or 70 fold ( Lamech – Genesis 4:24)
• >> my enemies being scattered 7 ways before us …Deuteronomy 28:7

 

Breakthrough & Magnification  >> Judges 6 & 7 story of Gideon 

• >> Breakthrough

• My mouth can be made like a sharp sword…
• ….He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver….Isaiah 49:2
• For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart…Hebrews 4:12

Sword is judgement??

• There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day…John 12:48
• Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth…Revelation 2:16
• Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God…Revelations 19:15

May it be so for each and everyone of us…say, declare & decree … as we come against the stubborn situations in our lives

• A Sword for the Lord & a sword for me
• To bring judgement to all situations that are contrary to the Word of God for my life
• And to release my blessings & bring back shalom into the situation

 

Judges 6:24-25 (NLT)

• “It is all right,” the LORD replied. “Do not be afraid. You will not die.”
• And Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the LORD is peace”). The altar remains in Ophrah in the land of the clan of Abiezer to this day.

Prayer

• May we be aligned with what is written in our books in heaven this 2020
• May we delight in fulfilling that Word – Work it out of us with fear & trembling >> with the seriousness it deserves
• May we live to see and experience the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living in this year of divine breakthrough & Magnification over every situation in our lives.
• As we get a revelation of Yahweh Shalom,
• >> build an altar to the Lord (come into agreement / covenant of shalom / peace with the Lord)
• >> name it or call it out ( for what we name we can claim / have dominion over …Adam given the animals to name …Genesis 2:20, power of the tongue)
•   and experience the manifestation of Yahweh Shalom (Peace / Shalom in abundance or in its fullness) in all aspects of our lives

 

• Micah 2:13…the breaker shall go forth before me, I shall breakthrough & pass through the gate and go out … to fulfill my divine destiny
• Joshua 3:7 … the Lord shall begin to magnify me in the sight of all Israel… for  His kingdom and for His glory.
