THE 2020 ASSIGNMENT

The 2020 assignment was a response to the toxic words--lies and false accusations--which have been spoken in this nation as a result of people not knowing the truth--not knowing the One who is Truth. Those who have moved away from a biblical standard of truth naturally try to establish their own truth to settle the confusion within their own heart. There is something we can do to combat these toxic words! The 2020 Assignment is outlined below in three sections.

 

 

The Problem:

 

"Toxic breath" being released throughout this nation. We especially see it in the political realm, but also in other areas.

 

Toxic breath is spoken lies, false accusations, intentional deception and so on.

 

Toxic breath can penetrate the hearts of people, deceiving them, as they "breath in" or accept these lies that have filled the air.

 

Jesus said at the end of this age to be careful not to be deceived or misled. (Matthew 24:4, 24). The only way not to be deceived is to be seekers, lovers, and purchasers of the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11, Proverbs 23:23).

 

Those who don't seek truth try and make their own truth, which is an attempt to mask lies as "truth." Which of course will never change truth. However, many people believe these lies and build upon them which, can be disastrous for the nation, God's people, and future generations.

 

This isn't just about getting the right candidate elected, its about restoring the biblical foundations of this nation--the land we've been entrusted with by God.

 

 

The Assignment:

 

As the Lord showed me these toxic lies swirling around the country, people breathing them in to the point where it poisoned them and heavily deceived them, He also showed me the way to combat them--To release the breath of Truth.

 

The Word of God is truth. Jesus is Truth. The Spirit of God is Truth. (John 17:17, John 14:6, John 16:13). To release the breath of truth is to speak the Word of God. Of course its always important to align the words we speak every day with the Word of God,  however this assignment was to speak the entire written word we've been given (the Bible) out loud over a one year period.

 

Isaiah 55:8-13 says the Word of God which goes out of His mouth will not return to Him empty. It WILL accomplish what He desires. Those who believe in Jesus are the body of Christ. We are His mouthpiece in the earth. We are filled with His Spirit, His breath. When we speak His Word with a Spirit-filled breath, it WILL accomplish His desires. It will combat lies.

 

As we proclaim/speak/breathe out the truth, it creates a breeze--a breath or wind of the Spirit throughout the land--oxygenated words of life and truth for others to breathe in and believe. This dispels the toxic breath that has poisoned so many.

 

Isaiah also says the thorns and nettles will be replaced by the cypress and myrtle. The mountains, hills, and trees will rejoice. This spoken Word WILL affect the land. It plants new seed and waters the good seed that's here.

 

Jesus said the spoken Word washes and cleanses. (John 15:3).

 

The Word must be spoken from a pure heart, filled with His Spirit.

 

The Assignment: Speak the Word of God (The Bible) OUT LOUD daily over a period of 12 months, releasing the entire Word of God into the atmosphere, and to do so with a pure heart.

 

Instructions:

 

This assignment began (for me) on November 1, 2019. Anyone who so desires can begin this at anytime.

 

To do so:

 

Read the entire Bible out loud during a period of one year. Follow a daily reading schedule to stay on track.  BibleStudyTools.com/bible-reading-plan/ is one daily plan. I did the Book Order plan. When you create an account and sign up for the plan, it will begin on whatever day you sign up, and continue one year from that day.  Or click here and scroll down on their website to find the list of which chapters to read each day. Or, you can download a PDF file of the days/Scriptures here.

 

Each day, before you start reading, take a minute to prepare yourself.

Pray first, be sure your heart is pure.

Commune with the Lord.

Humble yourself

Repent if needed

Receive forgiveness

Get in tune with God

 

Then read the Scriptures OUT LOUD. Proclaim them, even if its just the 'begats' we want to release the whole counsel of God into the Earth's atmosphere--His truth.

 

Periodically--once a week or so--review those Scriptures that seemed to come alive during your daily readings and proclaim them again. I wrote a summary every day, and then wrote a summary of each book of the Bible. A draft of it can be found here.

 

Fast from time to time.

Some things simply cannot be moved, changed, or broken through without fasting.

 

 

All Scripture is taken from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) unless otherwise noted.
