Beloved Brothers & Sisters,
Let me encourage you today! Looking back at the end of last year everyone was excited about the New Year and were in great anticipation of all that was promised to happen for them personally, for their families, ministries, business, finances, etc. 2020 was projected to be the greatest year yet. However, soon after the New Year began it seemed as though great adversity, challenges and storms struck unlike anything seen before. The stock market plummeted several times and people lost their jobs, businesses, massive amounts of savings and wealth. Nations have been devastated by the novel coronavirus or covid-19, and the spirit of fear and panic has caused people throughout cities across America and the world to clean out grocery store shelves without any consideration for the needs of others. Needless to say, the first quarter of this year has become one of the most challenging times in history.
So, what should we do, and what should be our focus in such a time of instability and uncertainty? First of all, we must remember the promise of the prophetic word of God that was spoken concerning the New Year and hold onto it by faith without wavering. I know that it’s easier said than done, but remember that faithful is He who promised it.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23, KJV
We are living in a brand new era. The year 2020 is also 5780 according to the Hebraic calendar, and the number 80 is of great significance. It pertains to “the mouth” or opening, and is symbolic of the letter “Pey” in the Hebrew language. Therefore, it can be ascertained that this year is not only the mouth and opening of a new decade, but what happens during the course of the year 5780 (or 2020) will set the tone for the rest of this entire decade. In other words we have entered into one of the most significant times in history. During such a period, it is very important for you to use your mouth as an orifice to vocally decree and declare the Word of Almighty God over yourself, over your family, your future, ministry, finances, business, over your country and leaders, and give birth to what God has ordained. We must use our authority to overrule and override the kingdom of darkness by the power of God’s Word in every situation.
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Job 22:28, KJV
As people of God we have been called and chosen to be a part of the Kingdom for such a time as this, and together we can make a huge difference in the overall outcome of nations around the world. We have been given a Divine mandate and mission to accomplish, and that is to ensure that the entire world is reached with the Gospel of the Kingdom according to Matthew 24:14.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. KJV
It is time for us to walk in the fullness of our heavenly calling, and be about our Father’s business. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. The earth is in birth pains as a woman with child who is ready to deliver. All of nature, the economy, systems, industries, governments, families and souls are being shaken and are groaning for deliverance and restoration which is why we must take our calling seriously and make a difference in our generation.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Hebrews 12:27, KJV
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thessalonians 2:2, KJV
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:19, KJV
As the people of God we should not be shaken or troubled in any way as the world. Instead we should have the mind of Christ by the Word of God, understand the prophetic times and seasons of God like the sons of Issachar who understood the significance of times and seasons, and be manifesting the power of the Kingdom through our lives every day. May God cause you to rise up and be the representative, ambassador of righteousness and difference maker that He ordained for you to be. May He guide you daily, and cause you to be led by Holy Spirit to always be in the right place at the right time, with the right people, doing the right thing, never in the wrong place and never in harm’s way. May you walk in Divine discernment every day. May everything that you do be blessed, and may you experience greater results, fruitfulness, manifestation of God’s power and glory than ever before. May you conquer every demonic lion and bear, and defeat every foe. May no weapon formed against you prosper, and let every tongue that rises against you be condemned. May your reach be exponentially increased! May you be spiritually blessed, physically blessed, financially blessed, mentally and emotionally blessed, relationally and socially blessed in every way possible. May your marriage and children be blessed and enriched spirit, soul and body. May your tears be turned into joy, your mourning into dancing, and heaviness be changed into garments of praise for the glory of God. Amen
Share this message with everyone that you know as a blessing to them. Thank you.
Reading this has blessed me greatly. Thank you Apostle Bethtina.
I fully agree with the approach that Apostle Bethtina took with this Blog. It is so important that people understand that we are living in a new time, and are facing many new sets of circumstances. Life as usual has been turned on its head, and we need to seek the Lord. The year 2020 is truly the year that will shape the coming decade. As a people we have never seen things as they are now. The Coronavirus has literally changed the way we live, interact and associate with others. There have been many viruses in the past but this one has no cure and they are not sure they will ever find one. We need the Lord. People are no longer physically in Church, which has forced them to have to seek God on their own. Furthermore, we do not even know if we will ever see things the same again. The key to our present situation is relationship with God. This means drawing closer to Him than we have ever been before. God made each believer a promise through the Apostle James, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” No matter what we are facing God is greater. This is an exceptional Blog that everyone should read and take to heart.
Excellent and timely word. Out of the mouth we speak, eat, drink, and praise either God or the problem. There may have been shortages of toilet paper and Kleenex; but did your Bible ever run shortage of pages containing God’s Words of wisdom, strength, and promises? Or are you practicing “social distancing” with God but not drawing close in communion and intimacy through the Word and prayers and praise from and through it? Fear is more easily caught and spread than any other “dis-ease.”
Psalms 103:3 …”Who heals all your diseases,” the Lord has shown me this in the late 90s; disease is not only a malady like cancer per say, He said “Look at the word disease, it has a prefix “dis” that means NOT and this is attached ease, so I can heal any thing you not ease about in your mind, life, body, or situation.
Read, feed your need for wisdom and peace and the speak it, pray it and trust and thank Him for it!!!
This is truly an anointed blog, and I receive every word of it.Thank you Apostle Beth.👐❤
Thank you Apostle Bethtina for such an encouraging and enlightening message. It is truly an serious hour that we are living in today. So much is happening on so many levels but thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus our Lord. We must remain faithful, focused, steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. So that when it’s all said and done we will hear God say well done thy good and faithful servant, enter thou into my rest. Blessings!!!
Excellent and substantial! One of the most powerful weapons we possess is our mouths and the greatest use is the projection of words. Throughout scripture there is a consistent theme on the power of our words, and we are in the hour where we as believers must stand on the word of God and His promises as we are:declaring, decreeing, releasing, bounding, building up, tearing down, and restoring, as we meditate on the word day and night. (Psalm 1:1-3)
God bless you, Apostle Beth.
God woke me this morning to be in his presence, I began reading His Word, I prayed, then I thought that I was finished but the Good Good Father that I serve needed for me to have more clarity to go deeper in His presence. So He lead me to Apostle Beth (my auntie’s) blog. As I read, received, and cried I could feel His love and guidance all through the words I read. They blessed me until my soul cried out!!!! Thank you for your obedience Aunt Beth in producing this blog. It’s much needed and it’s going to deliver, and heal! Bravo, a must read and share.
To God be all the glory Charmaine!! May God continue to bless, strengthen and guide you. May He pour His Spirit out upon you and fill your life with His glory. Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt testimony. It is appreciated greatly.
