YEAR OF TIME AND SPACE

Pastor Prince just declared the theme for our church for 2020. It is the year of time and space. You may wish to refer to his sermon notes on 5 Jan 2020 for more details. https://www.josephprince.com/sermon-notes/the-lord-of-time-and-space

We were all very excited about what God has in store for us this year and trying to better understand the theme for our church. This was my initial understanding of the year of time and space. I just like to share with you all.


As we all know, when we crossed over to 5780, we are crossing over to a new decade of Pey or the mouth. The last decade that ended was Ayin or the eye. Now we have heard about how we are not only entering into a new decade but a new era. So what does entering into a new era or time gate mean for us personally?

I feel that God is about to accelerate things in the Kingdom. We are going to see the miraculous operate right before our eyes. The prayers we have prayed for years will suddenly begin to be answered in incredible ways. Many will see their destinies being fulfilled and opportunities open up effortlessly.

We will be able to hear and know what God is saying and doing at a much higher level, not only for ourselves but for cities and regions. Why? Because we are at the right time gate where God is moving. It is the kairos time. Pastor mentioned that we have moved on from talking about the tabernacles of Moses in the past years to the temple of Solomon. I see this as an indication of how God has moved us from the wilderness to our promised land. We have really come out of our wilderness!

So what about space? Space is also like territory or land that God wants you to possess. Remember how Pastor said that there is still much land to be possessed. In 2020, the Lord will cause you and direct you into VICTORY. There is such a strong sense of "TAKING YOUR PLACE in preparation for the NEW SPACE (2020) that's taking place NOW!!!!"

Be sure to obey the Lord and follow His direction and His leading. Remember Mary told the servants: Do what He tells you. One act of obedience to the Lord's leading and command is going to ignite and activate a domino effect of momentum and breakthrough in your life to see you enter into 2020 completely different to how you walked in 2019. 

I believe the Lord is also saying "You are coming up higher". As in the spiral staircase, when we come up higher in the spiritual realm, we see treasures of revelation opening up to us which will cause us to view time and space very differently from how God sees them. 

So the key really is to spend time with the Lord in His word. As we do that we will begin our spiritual ascend faster than other years. We will receive such revelation that we will be bold to step out in faith and witness the miracles that God is going to perform this year. Miracles that transcends time and space.

I was just pondering upon the link between taking small steps and the year of time and space. I think the link is in the winding or spiral staircase. It connects the first to second to third floor.  Time is made up of three elements: past, present and future. This correlates to the three chambers. 

The chamber on the first floor is used to store the grain, wine and oil. This was collected during the year of latter rains. So the first chamber symbolises our past. 2019 or even the past decade. The second floor is where we are currently at this year. God wants us to rest in Him as typified by the place of rest for the priests.  The third floor could be talking about what is to come. It may happen within this year, when the glory of God is manifested in us, the temples of God. 

Space is also made of 3 elements: length, depth and height. Notice the chambers get wider with each level: 5,6,7 cubits. This speaks of God enlarging our space. He can do it for us in an instance.  The secret of the winding staircase is that it only brings is to a higher place one step at a time. Because it is winding we can't see the final step. We can only see the next few steps. 

The Holy Spirit will lead us step by step. As we co labour with Jesus, He will work miracles of time and space through us. Many times we may not even realise it as we take small steps until the miracle happened. Then we see that we have actually taken giant leaps in our spiritual ascendancy. The winding staircase indicates the greatest height in the smallest space in the shortest time. This is truly a miracle of time and space.
