I Just wanted to share a few things that Came into my Spirit while thinking about 2020, and I know most people equate it to 2020 vision.

I certainly see that and agree with that also, but another thing I immediately thought about 2020 was that 20+20= 40 and that is a number in the Bible that appears over 150 times.

 It is a number of great importance, just some examples

Jesus Temptation

Matthew 4:1-3a “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit

into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.  And

after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was

hungry. And the tempter came and said to him.”

Israel’s Testing

Joshua 5:6 “For the people of Israel walked forty

years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men

of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because

they did not obey the voice of the LORD; the LORD

swore to them that he would not let them see the

land that the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give

to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

The Flood of Forty Days and Nights

Genesis 7:12 “And rain fell upon the earth forty days

and forty nights.”

• Forty stripes was the maximum number allowed for anyone to be punished (Duet 25:3).

• The prophet Jonah prophesied of the impending destruction of Nineveh if they didn’t repent and gave them forty days to do so and they eventually did repent and the entire city-state was sparred.

• Moses sent spies into the Promised Land and they were there for forty days and forty nights before returning to give their report about the land (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).

• The prophet Elijah went forty days and nights without food or water while on Mount Horeb.

• Jesus appeared for forty days after His resurrection from the dead and the disciples and many others witnessed His appearance.

• When Israel disobeyed God, He gave them over to their enemies for forty years (Judges 13:1).

• King Saul reigned over Israel for forty years (Acts 13:21) as did David (2 Samuel 5:4, 1 Kings 2:11) and Solomon (1 Kings 11:42).

• The holy place of the temple was forty cubits long (1 Kings 6:17).

• Ezekiel bore the evil of the house of Judah for forty days (Ezk 4:6).

The one common denominator of all of these events is after the 40 days or years or cubits or lashes, everything CHANGED.

40 in the Bible refers to TESTING, TRIALS, OR PROBATION, and then EVERYTHING CHANGES AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS DRAMATIC CHANGES.

So simple put what I am seeing for 2020 is a time of great change, and in all areas of life all over the world.

The most important one being the Spiritual changes, the dramatic changes that will take place in the Church (GODS PEOPLE, NOT A BUILDING). Just like we won’t even recognize the world around us in 10 years from now because of all of the changes that are, and have, and will take place in those 10 years technology wise.

The true Church (we are the Church not a building) is going to shake off the dust of man made doctrines, doctrines of dEVILS, and all of the man junk that has made its way into the Church of today, (while they were sleeping the enemy came in and sowed the tares).

The true Church is waking up even now and even tho there is a great apostasy going on and all of the fake Christians are falling away from the true Christ, the remnant will STAND, SHINE BRIGHTER, AND NEVER LOSE THE FAITH.

THEY THAT ENDURE UNTIL THE END WILL BE SAVED, IT TIME TO GET YOUR E. S. P. ON MY FRIEND.

ENDURANCE…STEAD FASTNESS…AND PATIENCE.

next time will resume with the book report the walk of the spirit the walk of power.

until next time
