Word of the Lord for 2010
I spent the last few weeks of 2009 seeking the Lord for a “word” for 2010. In years past, I would do what everyone else did – rhyme a phrase with the year. Something like “Do it again in 2010″, or “do something great in 2008″. But this year, I determined to be different – to only share what God says. No gimmicks, no catchy phrase. just God’s word.
One evening while seeking the Lord, I asked specifically for the word for 2010. He then showed me a vision.. I saw wars, tsunamis, famine, general upheavel in many areas.
I then said to God: “Lord, thats the same stuff that happens every year.” And He replied: “I know- thats my point.” I then heard this scripture in my spirit: “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” Matt 24:6 (NIV)
And I understood what God was telling me…
In 2010 do not be afraid. The end is not come. There will be wars in many places. And rumors of wars will arise from many places – Israel, Iran, Iraq, Afganistan…

The war on Terror. The war on Drugs. The war against Swine Flue. All these reports will keep coming, and in many ways – seem to be even more pronounced and public than ever before.
But – Do Not Be Alarmed.
As the scriptures tell us:
- “Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest.” Matt 11:28
- “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 (NIV)
- “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6-7 (NIV)
In closing – what does 2010 hold for us? The same as the last 10 years….
- Increase in communications technologies.
- Increase in rumors of wars in places we may not have paid attention to before
- Many many rumors surrounding our own government.
- New wars – both physical and scientific.
- Continued persecution of Christians.
- Many new “prophets” with “new” messages from God.
- New “revivals” rising up (short lived though).
- Continued and new famines.
- Earthquakes in places that have not seen them before (or are very rare).
- Increase in earthquakes in places one would expect.
- Increase in “sin”.
- A change in the message being preached (I believe the Greek indicates the message will change to one of Promised Land Living. The Greek indicates the “true message” of “royalty” must be preached. We are to live as royalty – controlling our surroundings, setting rules and regulations, prospering in all things).
And the end result – see you in 2011!
We’re heading into a season of struggles – and technological advances. And a shaking up of what many view as the Christian message. But the end is not yet.
