2020: The Year of Conquest

I believe that the Holy Spirit has made it apparent to me that 2020 is The Year of Conquest. And a conquest is the subjugation and assume control of a place by force. Of course there are many in recent days who have predicted, prophesied and prognosticated that 2020 is The Year of Clear Vision. I neither disagree nor dispute what they believe the Lord has spoken to them because that word can be relative to them as individuals as well as those who have been assigned to them in ministry. However I think the issue has never been about clear vision but the greater issue at hand is our unbelief and procrastination in what we have seen that the Holy Spirit has made overtly clear to us. We have feared the clarity of revelation knowledge and visuals that the Lord has always intended for us to walk in which has caused us to regress and retreat and settle for mediocrity, average, and status quo environments in our spiritual, mental, physical and financial lives. The Lord had given Moses clear vision of the land of Canaan before the Children of Israel, he wrote in Deuteronomy 1:2 that from the wilderness to Canaan would be an 11 day journey. But because of unbelief, murmuring and complaining, Israel wandered in the wilderness for 38 years. And now that Joshua has taken the reins of leadership after the death of Moses, he lets Israel know that they will enter Canaan in three days. He knew how crucial and critical it was for them to move forward after so much time had been wasted and no progress had been made. Moses’ leadership style was one of a caretaker, but Joshua’s leadership style was one of a conqueror. Conquerors don’t engage in trivialities but only engage in progress, forwarding, and advancement in spiritual affairs. And to conquer is the Greek nikao, which means to carry off the victory, come off victorious, victorious over all His foes, of believers, that hold fast their faith even unto death against the power of their foes, and temptations and persecutions when one is arraigned or goes to law, to win the case, maintain one’s cause. In Romans 8:37, Paul the Apostle declared “Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Conquerors is the Greek hypernikao, which means to gain a hyper surpassing and decisive victory, to vanquish the opposition, to humiliate and demoralize, to win by a wide margin because they really had no chance coming in (Calloway Emphasis!) So the Holy Spirit intends for us to pursue and possess what has been promised. The vision has always been clear, we were never clear in our faith to pursue and possess, but we retreated and allowed our promised blessings to be repossessed! God honors massive action, activity, engagement and forward progress toward what belongs to you. We have  invested much time putting in a request in prayer when the Lord wants to engage in conquest by laying hold of what belongs to us. You no longer have to pray for what you possess, the possession must manifest in actuality. It’s almost like someone calling, emailing, or texting letting you know you have a package, but you need to come by and pick it up. There can be no divine intervention manifested until there is human responsibility in motion. There will be enemies, adversarial forces and opposing foes will make efforts to hinder, obstruct, and prevent you from attaining and obtaining your promises but the Lord is Jehovah-Adonai, He will rule over you and rule in your favor as your faith is activated. Faith in what we have seen will energize us to seize what we see. Make a physical claim to a spiritual promise. Go get it!
