What Does 2020 Look Like?

What did 2019 look like for you?

For some of you, it was one of the hardest years of your life.

For others, it may have just been another ‘groundhog’ year.

For me, it was the latter … until the last 3 months of the year. Then it became more challenging – but also SO EXCITING!

What eyes are you looking with at this year that is now upon you?

Are you full of excitement or is dread lurking at your door?

(Note: To place our focus in a positive direction, I have put up a ‘CHOOSE LIFE’ challenge on the Diamonds and Butterflies Facebook page for the first 15 days of January. Jump on here to take part and be encouraged.)

What is your word for 2020?

Quite a few years ago, I heard a speaker talking about God giving her a specific word or phrase for the coming year. Since then, I have been doing the same and by the time the end of each year came, I have looked back and found the word to fit exactly.

Have you ever done that? What was your word for last year? Did it fit into what actually happened?

May I encourage you to do the same for this year or ask God for a specific word for you for the first time. You will be amazed at what God will do for you and through you.

What’s Coming

The Lord has been speaking to me over the last few weeks about what He is going to do in the earth, beginning with 2020. We have just entered into not only a new year, but also a new decade and a new era.

As with anything new, there is always a hint of nervousness as well as excitement and wonder. But don’t worry, it’s going to be fantastic!

The Scripture that the Lord has kept bringing before me is Isaiah 43:19.

“Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
    and rivers in the desert.”

Isaiah 43:19 (ESV)

Not only have we entered a new year, we have also stepped into a new era in God’s timeline.

New Things

There are new declarations and announcements resounding from Heaven.

There are new ideas, new solutions, new songs, new creative ideas being released in this coming decade.

There are new levels of God’s anointing being poured out upon the earth.

God is, even now, releasing a new level of His power and glory.

God is going after the people He created with an even greater passion and strength than He has ever revealed before. He longs for nothing more than relationship with His children – whether they know Him yet or not.

We have entered a new era – an era that will reveal just who God truly is (not the ‘God box’ that traditional Christianity has Him in) and this era will reveal not only God’s goodness, but His power and purity.

This next decade is going to look very different
to any decade in history.

New Miracles

New miracles that the earth has not seen before are going to be released.

Many years ago I was watching a documentary on people needed prosthetic body parts. It was so interesting how science has helped so many people.

Suddenly, my heart became sad and the Lord said, “This was never My heart. I can give them new body parts.” Since then, I have pondered this statement. The Father is right, of course. He CAN give them new body parts!

I began to search for any known miracles of this nature and couldn’t find any. I found 2 testimonials about someone seeing half a leg growing from the knee down, but no finished limbs growing.

Do you believe God can do that?

If He created your body in all it’s intricacies, He can most certainly give someone new limbs.

A God Dream

Quite a few weeks ago, one of our sons had a prophetic dream about God releasing the power for creative miracles to grow limbs back. I was nearly jumping out of my skin with excitement.

2 weeks after this dream, I prayed for 5 people and everyone of them had one leg shorter than the other. I prayed and all of them had their legs grow out till they were even with the other, including 2 of my own children.

Miraculous!

To me, this is confirmation that God truly is going to cause limbs to grow back. Since then, I have had so many more confirmations.

Be encouraged, it’s about to get exciting!

Focus on what God is doing

Yes, there is a great deal of wickedness in the earth but I strongly encourage you to look at what God is doing.

What you focus on becomes bigger in your own mind. Eventually, if you focus on the negative, that becomes bigger than God’s capability and indeed, bigger than God Himself.

You and I have been given the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16) which means we have the capacity to think just as He thinks and act as He acts. He knows every solution you need and if you have access to His mind, you too can discover what those solutions are.

You even have access to the solutions for the greatest problems facing the earth today – and He wants to give those solutions to the people who will listen and act on what He says.

Will you be that person?

There is truly no problem too hard for your Heavenly Father.

There is such an excitement in the Heavens for what lies ahead. Let’s together partner with Heaven and bring Heaven to earth – just as Jesus planned all along.

As you begin this new year, may I suggest that you take some time to sit in the Father’s presence and ask Him what He sees for your life and beyond for these coming months and years. God longs to tell you what’s on His heart. He just needs someone to listen.

Be that someone today and everyday.
He’s waiting and longing for you.

My prayer for you:

Our amazing, Heavenly Father, I thank you for this precious reader who longs to know Your heart for them and their lives. Thank You that you have ALL the solutions that this amazing son/daughter needs today and always. I pray that you will draw them closer to Your heart and that You will release Your thoughts and love into their lives. I ask that You will release divine downloads of answers and plans for their own lives and their sphere of influence. I ask that You will release breakthrough in every area of their lives. As they hear your heart in an even greater way, I pray that you will give them the courage to step out and act on what they hear. Increase their realms of influence and bless them with a deeper love, wisdom and understanding of others. Bless Your precious child.
Thank You, Father. Amen.

Remember, God your Father knows that you are amazing …
simply because He made you that way.

Please share in the comments below what some of your dreams and goals are for the coming year or even the coming decade. What is your word for this year?

As you head off into 2020, I’ll leave you with this incredible verse which reminds us of the intimacy that the Lord longs to have with you.

“Call to me and I WILL answer you, and WILL tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”

Jeremiah 33:3 (ESV)

2020 is going to be SPECTACULAR!!
