A 2010 Marketplace Message
Submitted by Clay Sikes
December 26, 2009
2010, perhaps like no year in recent history, will signal abrupt change for many ‘front line’ remnant Saints. This change, I believe, will begin in the marketplace and extend into many other areas of life and ministry. A ‘front line’ remnant Saint is one who has faced the intensity of battle for an extended period of time; one who has discernment between ‘true relationship’ and ‘religious pursuit;’ one who recognizes that it is God’s purpose in life, and never his own. Where we are in this progression will be revealed in coming years, but will begin in earnest in 2010. For those leading the ‘charge,’ a sudden and unmistaken joy will arise; a joy so powerful that it will be reminiscent of our ‘first love.’ This joy will invite manifestations of God’s love and favor upon His people, as a succession of miraculous events will leave little room for even the most skeptical - God is ‘in the house!’
2010 will offer even greater evidences of ‘contrast’ than did 2009, as God continues to distinguish His own from those who are not. It is said that ‘possession’ is nine tenths of the law. In God, ‘possession’ is the law; and to the degree we are ‘possessed’ of God to that same degree will the revelation of God be revealed in our lives. A fully possessed man does not belong to himself – He lives for God. Many claim to ‘live for God,’ but cannot because they do not hear Him. Only true Sons can ‘hear’ Him, and to the degree we ‘hear’ to that degree are we possessed, as only His sheep hear His voice. It is important to note that the word ‘His’ is possessive and denotes ownership. Possession in this context has little to do with outward appearance; it is a condition of the ‘heart.’ Many caught up in the ‘Church System’ do not recognize this simple fact as ‘works’ and outward appearance are the poor substitutes that often block true relationship. The fires of affliction however, have a way of balancing this impropriety.
Two words best describe the prophetic relevance of 2010 – Sudden Evidence. ‘Sudden’ is a word describing the ‘abrupt’ changes that 2010 will bring, as things long stagnant will suddenly begin to move. ‘Evidence’ refers to the physical manifestation of a long sought ‘breakthrough.’ Often our areas of greatest crisis are the areas of our calling and gifting. The enabling ‘word made flesh’ in our lives, which brings deliverance during crisis, is the overcoming testimony that leads and liberates others. Crisis abounds in the marketplace, and no greater place can the aforementioned ‘contrast’ be revealed in a global sense than in the marketplace. The proverbial cart is now in the ditch and God’s appointed and anointed will arise with solutions. One’s leadership ability is directly proportionate to one’s ability to solve and resolve problems. Appointed leaders will arise with solutions, first for themselves and their communities, and then to the nations. ‘Watch’ as entire systems are replaced! The Kingdom of God will replace the World’s System in virtually every area of existence. As the ‘Kingdom’ emerges in the marketplace the fragile ‘World’s System’ will continue to crumble.
Credit, once the vehicle of commerce, will be replaced as barter and exchange will become more prevalent in times ahead. Borrowing will give way to lending as God’s appointed kings and priest take their rightful positions within their appointed Kingdom sphere. These evidences will begin in isolated areas of seemingly ‘global insignificance,’ but will give eventual rise to an entire system of monumental global significance. The abruptness of this happening and the changes that it will bring to the marketplace will startle many yet give rise to economic recovery long sought by economist and world leaders.
Those marked to initiate these changes in 2010 have two specific common denominators: 1) they are sensitive to ‘Kingdom Coalitions’ – alliances, partnerships, and relationships of God’s choosing that release supernatural synergy to accomplish God’s purpose. As with Joseph, some of these alliances may be with and from Pharaoh. Just as they are sensitive to ‘associations,’ so too are they sensitive to ‘disassociations.’ Relationships steeped in religiosity will delay the plan of God. 2) They “considered not the deadness of Sarah’s womb.” Never did the ‘deadness’ of their marketplace calling affect their decisions, as the fruit of their faith was grounded in ‘hearing.’ Those who have remained steadfast in God appointed and anointed calling will emerge from the fires of affliction waving the banner of God as they walk the way of God, and in the process bring in many sons.
