As I sought the Lord for a word for 2021, this nation and for the world I received a word that in my spirit I feel needs to be heard. It will not be popular but I believe God is asking me to make it public for all who wish to hear. I asked the Lord to speak to me and show me concerning this next year in 2021 and this is what I believe He said.
The Lord said to me that man kind has refused to turn to Him in these days of crisis, sickness and division. He said that man kind continually and intentionally has refused to seek Him for answers and has insisted that they can solve this themselves.
As I reflected on this word I began thinking of all of man’s answers to this past year of 2020. We have mandated mask wearing, social distancing, self quarantining and rushed vaccines. We have marched in protest, rioted, pursued legislation, sought out answers online, argued online and followed the whim of every person whom we believe may have the answer. What I have not seen very much of is leaders of families, churches, community or government on their knees before the King of Kings. There have been pockets of God’s people seeking His face about all of this but I believe He is not just looking for just the remnant to respond on their knees but rather for mankind to turn back toward Him. The Lord then spoke to me again and said that 2021 will be no different for many if man kind does not relent their stubborn pride of having all the answers and instead seek His face. He spoke to my spirit that all of this chaos and turmoil in the world as well as the hearts of man have but one answer. Him.
I believe that the rough year of 2020 will carry into the year of 2021 if we individually and corporately do not get on our faces before God and seek His answers. We have struggled to answer 2020 with mans way of doing things and refused God in many ways. There is an answer to Covid. There is an answer to racism. There is an answer to political clashing and abuse of power. There is an answer to injustice and hatred. His name is Jesus.
I have said it before but it needs to be heard again. At the feet of God I can not hate my brother or sister. At the feet of God there is no sickness that can overthrow Him. At the feet of God there is no power struggle. This is because He is the King of Kings and He reigns over all. It is time that we lead mankind to the feet of the one who holds the world in His hands. The one who designed and created us. It is time that we lay down our pride and arrogance and relent to the fact that He is Lord over us and has the answers that we seek.
“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
