Summary We are going deeper into the heart of Father, deeper into our hearts. We are going to walk into the confidence and unshakable Love of Jesus in our lives. You will walk in power, in confidence and favor of Father. You will see fruit and proof that His favor is in your life. It is a New Beginning. The last decade, the last season of delay and suffering without understanding is coming to an end. The new decade is one of abundance of power, abundance of life, abundance of clarity in what you are anointed to see, abundance of favor, abundance of unshakable connection to God, Abundance of confidence in Christ and in what He says you are. It is a new season.
We are moving from a decade of surviving, to a decade of Thriving!
Number 20 in Bible symbolizes the cycles of completeness.
It is not so widely used, but often it is connected to a perfect period of waiting, labor or suffering that is compared to a trial and rewarded.
Jacob waited 20 years to get his wives and property and to release from his father-in-law.
Solomon was building house for himself and God it total for 20 years, until he got a place to live.
Jabin the Canaan king was oppressing Israel people for 20 years, until they Deborah and Barak managed to release people from the trouble.
God told Abraham that if he finds at least 20 righteous people in cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, he will not ruin them.
There are 20 pillars in the court of tabernacles.
Number 20 is associated with a trial, a period of waiting and if it is successfully completed, the reward is generous and full of God’s love, in other case the punishment is just and right.
13 Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!
10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
God will instruct you daily. Father says “Find Me!”
There is a grace to catch the vision for a day. The grace for a day.
Let’s trust Father with the Vision for it all and hear him for the vision of the day.
There is a grace to catch the vision for the next step. The peace for the next step.
When God said to us clarity and vision we may have thought clarity for the big picture or vision for the big picture.
I dont believe that is what He meant. He meant clarity for the next step or one piece. He meant vision for your next yes or your one part in this so far.
We would only need to know the big picture if we dont trust Him with the big picture.
Closing:
We are moving from a decade of surviving, to a decade of Thriving!

Notes from Dec 2019..
23 Stay away from all the foolish arguments of the immature, for these disputes will only generate more conflict. 24 For a true servant of our Lord Jesus will not be argumentative but gentle toward all and skilled in helping others see the truth, having great patience toward the immature. 25 Then with meekness you’ll be able to carefully enlighten those who argue with you so they can see God’s gracious gift of repentance and be brought to the truth. 26 This will cause them to rediscover themselves and escape from the snare of Satan who caught them in his trap so that they would carry out his purposes.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. 24 The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, 25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
4 Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you take him for granted and despise him? Haven’t you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don’t mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance? 5 But because of your calloused heart and refusal to change direction, you are piling up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.
4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
