The Good, the Bad, and the Unity: 2020 and Beyond

The Good: There has been so many positive words or prophecies regarding the Church’s future. God is proclaiming He is on the move and looking for His bride to respond. I believe that 2020 and beyond will contain years of blessings, but we need to be wise and prudent when it comes to responding to what God will be doing.

As I have stated frequently, it is crucial that believers get out of debt. We have about 5 years to make sure all debt is paid off, and also to have reserved funds for the uncertainties that will be coming in about 6 to 7 years. The next years will bring spiritual and financial blessings, but they are intended to get us ready for years of turmoil and struggle.

It is no accident that our economy is prospering. God wants His Church to prosper in so many ways and to prepare itself for years of monetary depression. So, let’s claim His promises and live within the prosperity of God’s blessings and truths.

The Bad: As good abounds so will darkness. Satan knows God’s plans to bless us and Satan will try at every turn to steal the blessings God gives us. Satan’s job is to steal, kill, and destroy all that God does regarding His children. We must live under God’s protection. We must prepare for battle. This is what God called His church to—to destroy the works of the devil.

All to often, we like God’s blessings, but we avoid the battle. As we see the world in constant conflict and fighting so it is with God’s church. “The Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force” Matthew 11:12. If we do not fight against darkness then darkness will take away everything God has given us.

If you want to keep what God has promised and given to you, then prepare yourself for the battles of the Kingdom of God. You and I must be watchmen and warriors within the Body of Christ. We need to accept that God has called us to His battle against darkness. We need the Armor of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit. So, learn to fight, not against other human beings but against ‘principalities and powers of darkness’ in this world.

The Unity: We cannot receive the will of God without unity. It is the unity that is found in the Holy Spirit that allows us to receive and accomplish God’s plans and win in our struggle against darkness. You want revival L.A. then get unity. You want the next great awakening America then find unity in the Spirit. You want to live within the prosperity of God’s blessings it is the unity of the saints that will make this happen. You want to destroy all the works of the devil and place the devil under the feet of Christ then you will have to have unity of the Spirit within the Body of Christ. It is only in unity that we will find the final fulfillment of God’s will. As Jesus prayed, “I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me” John 17:21.

So, let’s fulfill Jesus’s prayer. Almost all examples of God’s plans spoken about in the Bible required unity in some manner and purpose. We must be in agreement even though we are not the same. It is only the unity in the Holy Spirit that will bring about the total accomplishment and finality of God’s plans. It is time to pray for unity and strive for the unity of the Spirit. This is what Jesus would want us to do.
