The Conquest Year

Introduction

It is necessary to know what God establish for every cycle in order to achieve it and to be prospered if we believe on it.

2Cr 20:20 …"Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful."

If we trust in God and believe that he speak thought his prophets and believe in what they say, WE WILL HAVE SUCCESS, and we will be well. This year has been proclaimed “the conquest year”, now we have to practice what the Bible says about it, with the purpose for living it and be prosper.

Gén 22:17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,

In order to conquest it is necessary to be fruitful. The children are a figure of fruit.

Sal 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Sal 127:4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.
Sal 127:5 How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

The verse three shows that children are the fruit of the womb. The verse four states that the FRUITS ARE ARROWS and they are needed for fighting against the enemies, and in this way to conquest.

For this reason, one of the most amazing blessings that Rebecca (as church) received is the conquest of the enemies´ land by her children.

Gén 24:60 They blessed Rebekah and said to her, "May you, our sister, Become thousands of ten thousands, And may your descendants possess The gate of those who hate them."
This verse reveals us that the church CANNOT BE FRUITFLESS, because she has to conquest. Rebecca was a fruitless woman and this (bearing in mind Rebecca as the church) shows the existence of fruitless people into the people of God. And by this reason, those people need to be free for to conquest.

¿where the Rebecca´s fruitless came from?

Gén 25:20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

The children are figure of fruit. Rebecca was the Bethuel´s fruit. BETHUEL means: destroyed by God, DESERT. There are some Christians that became fruitless because when God wanted to destroy the bad things on them in the desert, they did not recognize the necessity of suffering to become purified and closed their heart in the desert. And for that, although they believe in God they cannot be fruitful.

Heb 3:8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert,
Heb 3:10 That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.'
Heb 3:11 So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "
Heb 3:12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Sometimes God send us to desert because of LISTENING HIS WORD OUR HEART IS CLEANED.

Ose 2:14 Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.

If we do not recognize the bad thing into us, we take the risk of being embittered and fruitless. Rebecca was probably THE SOMEONE´S FRUIT THAT CLOSED HIS HEART IN THE DESERT RATHER THAN CHANCE HIS MIND AND RECOGNIZE HIS FAULTS.

The word of God in a SEED, so in order to be fruitful we need to hear a Rhema word from God that engenders life into us:

Mar 8:17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

Jer 19:15 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on this city and the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.'

When a heart is hardened it cannot be fruitful and when there is no fruit there is no conquest.

Genesis 25:20 also says that Rebecca was a fruit of a man from Paddan-aram, this means: high land. There are people that cannot be fruitful because they have a big pride that obstruct them to see their own faults for being cleaned and therefore be fruitful.

Gén 25:21 Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Isaac had forty years old when he met Rebecca. Forty is a number that means proof. Isaac means laugh, gladness. Thus, it is necessary PRAYING WITH GLADNESS INTO THE PROOF. If we find the good side of the desert we are going to be cleaned and will stay glad. Bible says:

Rom 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

If you love God, you have to keep in mind that no matter whether something hard is happening to you because that situation has a purpose. Thus, you have to find that purpose and let it happen, then God will take you out from desert.

Rebecca also means to chain. Something that makes fruitful difficult is to be chain.
When Bible mentions chains, it makes reference to some aspects like jail, curses, captivity. All those are manifested by sin, vices, sickness or evil influences that chain people.

God gave to Salomon the revelation about this issue:
Ecl 7:26 And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains…

There is a woman (a spiritual entity) THAT IS MORE BITTER THAN DEATH, Why? Because the death puts end to sickness and suffer, but that entity WHOSE HANDS ARE CHAINS cloys for many time.

Ecl 7:25 I directed my mind to know, to investigate and to seek wisdom and an explanation, and to know the evil of folly and the foolishness of madness.

This verse mentions two spirits (two hands):
1. Evil
2. Foolishness

The word evil not only means bad things but also a SPECIFIC SPIRIT NAMED EVIL that comes over someone when he is folly or is living in the flesh.

The foolishness is not only an attitude of a man. It is also a spirit that has people in chains because maybe they did madness. In other words, when a person does madness he does foolishness as well. The word madness also means error. Sin means error too, so when we sin we are becoming foolish.

How can you free of those chains?
Ecl 7:26 And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

Today you can be free is you are pleasing to God. How can we do that?

Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.

How Enoch could do that?
Gén 5:24 Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

The answer is: walking with God. So Enoch decided going church by his own volunteer. When a Christian is immature, HE DOES NOT WALK WITH GOD, by the contrary God has to go behind him. Thus, we need to be mature for walking with God. He does not have to follow us, we have to follow him.

Heb 13:15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
Heb 13:16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Three things for pleasing to God:
1. Praise to God continually.
2. Doing good, specifically serving into the God´s work.
3. Sharing.

Thus, if you want pleasing to God you have to praise him, serve him and share with others. This is the order.
