Prophetic Word for 2020

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I hope that this finds you and yours doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me. Now, those of you who are at least somewhat familiar with my ministry may be a little bit surprised to hear me say what I'm about to say, but God spoke to me this morning.

Not only did He speak to me, He even spoke to me audibly, and He gave me a prophetic word for the new year, indeed, the new decade, this January 1st of 2020, and so I want to share with you this prophetic word that I heard God speak to me just this morning.

God’s Sovereign Word and Unchanging Rule

I heard God speak to me this morning as I opened up to the book of Psalm chapter 9 verse 7, and there I heard God tell me that His word abides forever and He will always be on His throne. I heard God speak again in Psalm chapter 135 verse 6, and there God told me that He does whatever He pleases in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all of the deeps, pretty much putting an end to any notion I may have had that God needs my permission to do anything.

I then opened to Ephesians chapter 1 verse 11, and there God told me that He works out all things according to the counsel of His own will. I heard God speak yet again in Psalm chapter 119 verses 89 through 90, in Matthew chapter 24 verse 35, as God told me that His word is eternal and it will stand forever.

God spoke to me this morning in James chapter 1 verse 2, and He told me that I should expect trials in my life, and even though these trials are not enjoyable, that I can count them as joy when I encounter these various trials, and I can count them as joy knowing that God is in control and His word abides forever.

Christ Is Unchanging and His Word Is Exalted

I was reassured in Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8, as I heard Jesus speak to me and He told me that He does not change, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Not only that He will not change, but He cannot change, because if He did change, that would contradict His own word, which He told me in Psalm chapter 138 verse 2, He magnifies His word and His name above all things.

I heard God speak to me in Philippians chapter 4 verses 10 through 14, and He told me that it is His will for my life to be content in all things. God spoke to me in Titus chapter 1 verse 9, He told me to teach sound doctrine and refute those who contradict it.

Election, Security, and the Shepherd’s Voice

God spoke to me again in John chapter 6 verse 37, and He told me that I am a gift from Him, God the Father, to the Son, and all that God the Father gives to the Son will come to the Son, and the Son will cast none of us out.

I heard God speak to me loudly in John chapter 10 verse 27, as Jesus told me that His sheep will hear His voice, and He gives eternal life to them. And then He told me in the next verse, verse 28, that He will hold all of us, all of us who have been given to Him, He will hold us in His hand.

And then, as if His hand were not strong enough, He told me in verse 29, the very next verse, that He will wrap the Father's hand around that, as it were, His own hand, holding us securely. God warned me this morning in Romans chapter 8 verse 13, that I am to be putting to death the deeds of the body, and He exhorted me in 2 Peter chapter 3 verse 18, to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Sufficiency of Scripture and the Great Commission

In 2 Timothy chapter 2 verse 15, God instructed me to study His Word, to show myself approved to Him. I heard God speak yet again in Romans chapter 1 verse 16, and He told me not to be ashamed of the gospel.

And then He said in Matthew chapter 28, that I am to take this gospel to all the world, making disciples of all the nations. And He told me in that same passage, that He will be with me forever as I do this.

Second Timothy chapter 3 verse 16, God spoke to me with crystal clear clarity, telling me that His Word is not only authoritative, but it is also sufficient. It is everything that I need. In 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 19, God spoke to me yet again, and He told me that His written Word is more certain than any other supposed experience, or any other supposed Word that someone else may give.

We have the prophetic Word more sure, God told me, in His written Word, the Bible. So dear friends, this is the prophetic Word that God gave me this morning. And unlike other prophets who will admit to being wrong about 80 of the time, giving them about the same authority as a magic 8-ball, maybe not even that much, this Word that I heard this morning, audibly, is 100 certain.

I am betting not only my life, but I am staking my eternal soul on this prophetic Word, more sure. So dear friends, I heard God speak to me this morning, audibly, and so did you just now. So dear friends, Happy New Year!

Until our next time together, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of His Holy Spirit be with you all.
