2021 PROMISE

15 See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil,

16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.

17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,

18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them (Dt.30:15-20)

In 2021, the difference between LIFE and GOOD versus DEATH and EVIL will be more clearly marked than ever before (Dt.30:15).

In 2021, God wants you to LIVE. God wants you to MULTIPLY. God wants to BLESS you. And God even wants you to GO POSSESS new land (Dt.30:16). All of this, however, is not automatic.

In 2021, God’s call to CHOOSE will also become more and more evident, as well as the fact that both heaven and earth are involved as active witnesses to our choices (Dt.30:19; Heb.12:1).

In 2021, each and every decision MUST be taken with ONE consideration: Will it promote LIFE and GOOD, or will it promote DEATH and EVIL (Dt.30:15)?

In 2021, there will be a battle for your heart and your allegiance. Satan will aim at your heart to slowly turn it away from God, thus spoiling your ability to hear God so that satan can draw you away. If you allow this process, you will end up worshipping and serving other gods and ultimately be destroyed (Dt.30:17-18).

In 2021, God’s heart calls His people closer and closer to His heart (Jam.4:8). As in the very beginning, God yearns to breathe His Life-giving Spirit into His creation (Ge.2:7). As in the very beginning, satan tries to distort and discredit God’s Word in order to steal, kill and destroy God’s handiwork (Ge.3:1-4; Jn.10:10).

In 2021, hearing and heeding (obeying) God’s Word down to the most minute detail will often be the deciding factor between life and death (Ge.2:15-17; 3:4-6, 22-24). As God called His people so many times: “Hear Me… Obey Me… Seek Me… Seek My Face… and you shall LIVE”, so our lives will depend on our measure of hearing and heeding God’s Word (Lev.18:5; Dt.28:1-2; Isa.55:3; Jer.38:29; Eze.20:11-13).

In 2021, the battle between Truth and lie will greatly intensify, both inside and outside the Church. The world and its leaders will stray further and further from any form of fear of God, casting off anything they feel as “restraining old outdated morals” (Ps.2:2-3).

In 2021, secret talks will be held at the highest levels on how to erase any evidence of God from all existence.

In 2021, Science will speed up the production of “proofs” that life can be created at the will and by the skill of a scientist, without any need for a divine Creator. Such studies will be widely circulated, especially in the media and in teaching institutions, and many unstable souls will be deceived into believing it (Jn.8:44; 2.Pe.3:16).

In 2021, many old saints will moan and cry at the ATROCITIES being preached from formerly respectable and trustworthy pulpits around the world. Especially in traditionally Christian nations, believers will be greatly tested in their steadfastness in the faith received from their forefathers (2.Ti.1:3-5).

In 2021, denominations and Christian organizations must muster all their spiritual strength to stand against the forces of evil that try to deter them from keeping and teaching their Biblical principles. Personal Bible study and explicit adherence to God’s eternal principles will be the only safeguard in an increasingly unstable world (1.Pe.1:19-21).

In 2021, shame campaigns against conservative beliefs like one lifelong marriage between one man and one woman, children growing up in such closely knit family units and people wanting to maintain their personal liberty and sovereignty will be instigated and perfected. Children and youth will see themselves increasingly ridiculed and even attacked for wanting to please and obey their parents more than their peers from school and work (2.Ti.3:12).

In 2021, both new translations and new interpretations of the Bible will be greatly propagated. Many of these will be sponsored by dubious groups that upon further investigation demonstrate a clear anti-Christian agenda. Their intent is to weaken God’s people and seduce them to sin just like satan did in the very beginning, and like Balaam and Jezebel endeavored (Ge.3:1-4; 2.Pe.2:15; Jude 11; Rev.2:14, 20).

In 2021, digital life will aim at absorbing real life to an even greater extent, especially among children and youth. A forced sedentary lifestyle will create new health challenges. God is calling His Body to seek Him and His health strategies even for this newly emerging crisis.

In 2021, a difference will become evident between the “Church” and the “Body” of Christ. Even within churches and communities, a polarization will begin between those who follow the rules and rituals of Christianity and those who experience and exhibit the Living Christ. Hearing and heeding Him will increasingly determine between life and death, blessing and cursing (Dt.28:1-2; 30:19).

In 2021, God calls His Church to choose life and blessing on a daily basis, even on a minute-to-minute basis. The true Body of Christ will increasingly be confronted with life-or-death situations. The firm decision to CHOOSE LIFE will protect and preserve not only the individual believer, but also those who dare follow his or her faith and lifestyle.

In 2021, both “new” diseases and the fear of diseases will skyrocket. Many will panic and run in circles, at least mentally, like herds of cattle at the roar of a lion. And yes, satan like a roaring lion is seeking whom he may devour (1.Pe.5:8). This fear will drive some into the loving Arms of a forgiving God, and others into hospitals or mental asylums.

In 2021, only standing your ground on God’s Word in steadfast faith, clothed with the armor of God and having the Sword of the Spirit ready on your lips at all times will be your salvation (1.Pe.5:9; Eph.6:10-18; Heb.13:7). In the midst of fear and chaos, God expects His Body to be the safeguarding Church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of the Truth for the shepherdless multitudes (1.Ti.3:15).

In 2021, evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived (2.Ti.3:13). Deception will reach levels never imagined, both in the human as well as in the technical arena (Mt.24:24). Many will be severely shocked and emotionally as well as psychologically injured by the unexpected betrayal of their most trusted friends.

In 2021, the Body of Christ must be ready to heal such wounded souls with selfless love and great patience (Ro.15:1-2). Many will be nursed back to mental and emotional health by the selfless lifestyle of true Christians, as described in Colossians 3:12-17.

In 2021, deceivers will be “deceived” by the Truth. Just as satan thought he had destroyed God’s Son and God’s plan, evil men and impostors will celebrate their supposed “victory”. But just as Jesus, The Truth, shocked and defeated satan by rising from the dead, their evil plots and plans will be destroyed by Truth and those who strictly adhere to it (Pr.8:6-21; Jn.14:6; 2.Co.13:8; 2.Thes.2:10-12).

In 2021, as the world turns more “anti-Christ”, the words of the Apostle John in 1 John 4:4 will take on a new importance: “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Christ-in-you-life will become a daily necessity, a daily survival secret against the onslaught of deception and betrayal.

In 2021, the true Body of Christ will increasingly display the fear-shattering Christ-in-you-life, effortlessly doing signs and wonders, healing the sick and even raising the dead (Col.1:27; Mt.10:8).

In 2021, mighty healing revivals will sweep the nations, both privately and publicly, silently and loudly, personally and via mass media. Many will despair at the limitations of conventional medicine and turn their heart and ear toward Christ, the Healer (Mt.8:16-17; 1.Pe.2:24).

In 2021, this victorious lifestyle lived by people from all strata of society, as well as the love and affection they show to one another and even to outsiders, will become extremely attractive in a world that grows colder and darker daily that many will desire to join them (Ac.5:12-16).

In 2021, many of the experiences of the Acts of the Apostles will come to life. Arrests, persecutions, beatings and threats will have to be endured by the true Body of Christ. However, such believers will experience joy unspeakable and full of glory as the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Glory specifically comes upon them to continue their noble work (1.Pe.1:8; 4:13; Ac.5:40-42).

In 2021, “Every Home A Church” will become reality as believers are forced to learn to pray for their own needs and the needs of their loved ones instead of relying on a pastor or spiritual leader to pray for them. Great joy and awe will fill hearts and houses as prayer answers become more and more common (Ga.6:2; Job 42:10-13; Jam.5:16).

In 2021, communities of true believers will spring up and serve as havens of hope, rest and rescue for suffering multitudes. Miracle living and a prophetic lifestyle will be their trademark, often feeding amounts of people far beyond the reach of their natural resources. God Himself will make them to be seen favorably or not seen at all by the authorities (2.Ki.4:38-44; 6:13-20).

In 2021, God calls you to CHOOSE LIFE for yourself, your loved ones, your city, your nation and the nations of the world! You do this by SPEAKING LIFE, PROCLAIMING LIFE, BLESSING people and nations (Pr.11:11).

In 2021, your words bind satan’s plans on earth, and they will be bound in heaven. Your words release God’s plans of earth, and they will be released in heaven (Mt.16:19; 18:18). Angels will go and perform God’s will because of the words of your tongue (Ps.103:20; Da.10:12).

In 2021, God wants you to feed multitudes both physical bread as well as the true Bread of Life (Jn.6:35). Feeding programs will be conceived in the hearts of born-again believers and birthed by the pressure of God’s Word calling His Body to CHOOSE LIFE for the suffering (2.Co.5:14-15).

In 2021, witnessing many sudden deaths or intense sufferings of others will create an increased understanding in believers that CHOOSING LIFE and CHOOSING BLESSING for others also means giving them the opportunity of salvation. Remember, by not giving them the Gospel, you actually CHOOSE DEATH and CURSE for them – and even for you (1.Co.9:16)!

In 2021, God searches believers who allow Him to share His heart burden and share in His heavenly intercession (Isa.59:16; Ro.8:34; Heb.5:7; 7:25).

In 2021, what about prophecies for the nations of the world? Well, the welfare of nations will depend upon how many of their citizens decide to CHOOSE LIFE, CHOOSE GOOD, CHOOSE BLESSING and REJECT DEATH, REJECT EVIL, REJECT CURSE in their thoughts, words and actions. Every prayer, every plan, every project that promotes LIFE, GOOD and BLESSING will make a difference in the spiritual atmosphere over the nation, enabling God’s angels to act more freely.

In 2021, intercessory prayer from outside, from other nations, may be the only means of survival for certain nations, adverting catastrophes and man-made disasters (Pr.3:32-33; Jam.5:17-18).

In 2021, as you CHOOSE LIFE and GIVE LIFE, remember: Jesus, the Living Word, the Prince of all LIFE, has by His death and resurrection already and forever defeated satan, the deceiver and mass murderer (Jn.1:1,14; Ac.3:15; Heb.2:14)!!!

In 2021, you are on the Winner’s team! So use your time wisely! CHOOSE LIFE, GOOD and BLESSING for the NATIONS!!!

Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other (Isa.45:22)
