Moses had difficulty getting Israel out of Egypt — those slaves did not have a mental mode to fit their transformation. Transformation announces to us that now is the time for a change of mentality. A teenager was invaded by the word and Spirit of God. Her mentality for transformation changed quickly. Mary’s acceptance of the invasion of heaven was intoned in the submissive, “be it unto me according to thy word.” (Lk.1:38)

Staying in Our Lane
Kathy — Take a moment to get your bearings and remember our individual obedience is only a part of a bigger plan. God is not calling each of us to be a Moses who must lead a whole nation out of bondage; rather, He is calling us to our part in participating with His plans. We don’t have to tend to the whole farm if our instruction is to steward one acre. We can stay in our lane and succeed.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
As the people of God assemble today around their family computers and in church 
parking lots, may they reflect on and stand on the faithfulness of their Father God who “changest not” and His “compassions they fail not”, as He has forever been faithful to His people and consistent with His Word, so shall He in these days and days to come. “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,” (Deut.7:9, ESV)
Hand Washing and Preferences
Kathy — Matt. 15:2 (GW) “Why do your disciples break the traditions of our ancestors? They do not wash their hands before they eat.” In reply, could we ask: why is a priority shift considered intolerable? Why do you make “change” rebellion? Precept upon precept is not preference upon preference nor tradition upon tradition. Sound doctrine does not equal changeless traditions.
In it For The Long Haul
There are all manner of threats and predictions concerning present perils and the “need for wisdom” in future ministry considerations. While many are calling for such wisdom to be applied in this hour, somewhere a cry should also be going forth for some amount of determination to be applied. Where is it written that authority is given to events of certain times in history or to evil persons of those times to 
become the master decision-makers for all of us, especially those who were acknowledging and embracing a divine destiny before these threatening perils and persons started doing their destructive deeds? 9 “Remember your history, your long and rich history. I am God, the only God you’ve had or ever will have—incomparable, irreplaceable— 10 From the very beginning telling you what the ending will be, All along letting you in on what is going to happen, Assuring you, ‘I’M IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL, I’LL DO EXACTLY WHAT I SET OUT TO DO,’ 11 Calling that eagle, Cyrus, out of the east, from a far country the man I chose to help me. I’ve said it, and I’ll most certainly do it. I’ve planned it, so it’s as good as done. 12 “Now listen to me: You’re a hardheaded bunch and hard to help. 13 I’M READY TO HELP YOU RIGHT NOW. Deliverance is not a long-range plan. Salvation isn’t on hold. I’m putting salvation to work in Zion now, and glory in Israel.” (Isa.46:9-13, MSG)
The Exact
The Bible says Jesus was called “The Exact”. What a name to be called!: The Exact. He was the exact representation of the Father. All my life I have heard individuals say, “I want ‘such and such’ put on my tombstone.” What if each of us wrote in our will that we wanted this put on our tombstone: “The Exact Representation of the Father”. Would the lawyer laugh, would family members roll their eyes? Why wouldn’t “exact representation” be our goal? Is that what we are aiming for?
Expecting Clarity
Kathy — I was amazed that the Holy Spirit would actually instruct me to pray for speedy results and pray against delay (because I definitely do have experience in that kind of praying!) Honestly, I don’t know that I have ever heard such detailed 
and clear instructions. That thrilled me because I had heard the Lord say back in September 2019, that He was bringing more clarity in 2020, like 2020 vision, and it was already happening! The scripture I had been reading before I dozed off echoed through me again, “How I wish my people would obey me!” I promptly wrote the instructions down to pray daily as I was so clearly directed. While I am not trying to put my assignment on anyone reading this, I am trying to encourage you to expect clarity and understanding as God prompts you to pray or take action this year. Follow His prompts and don’t waste time wondering or asking “Why me?” as I did. We can trust the Lord to wisely assign the part we are to steward, so there’s no need to feel overloaded or unequipped, just obey. Even if His prompts seem more vague than clear at first, rather than losing time wondering if the Lord is really prompting us, just pray or just do it.
Seeking Signs or Himself?
News services are using their valuable air time and print space reporting on Christians declaring the end of the world. Christians have said time and time again throughout my lifetime (more than six decades) that no generation has seen things 
worse than they are now, and it is now the end of the world and the coming of the Lord. They have looked up into the sky and in every corner of the globe seeking all manner of natural signs to confirm their suspicions (Gal.4:9-11). Yet, I find it interesting that not one time have I heard anyone say that no generation of Christians has ever been more like Jesus than this generation (even after all the years and all the centuries of church attendance and flocking to revival meetings and observing the stars and dispensational charts). Amos has a great suggestion: “SEEK HIM that maketh the seven stars and Orion… THE LORD IS HIS NAME:” (Amos 5:8, KJV; also v.4-“Seek Me, and live!”) Could it be that Amos would rather have us take valuable time and effort we are using to seek signs and actually use it to SEEK THE LORD Himself?
Pray for Tomorrow to Manifest
Kathy — In the dream I had after Marty gave the 2020 Declarations I received instructions as to how I should pray (and I shared those a few days ago). But then, 
my instructions continued: Pray, the changes and results be undeniable. Pray that tomorrow will manifest what I initiate today in heart-thinking and in conversations and in angel assignments. Pray that opposition and interference on every level be sabotaged in the night between today and tomorrow’s manifestation. Pray that speedy and prevailing works of righteousness and justice be witnessed and understood so that the fear of the Lord will come upon people and their families and their nations and their generations.
