2/2/22 IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK YOUR KEYS!
On this day 2/2/22 i feel to prophesy to you that it’s time to take back your keys. It’s time to pick up your gifts, your calling, and your authority.
Years ago I lost my car keys at our local mall and went into a frenzy trying to retrace my steps. After an hour of desperation and panic, I finally asked the Lord to help me to which he instantly told me to go find the man collecting shopping carts who had found them.
On my way home as I was trying to calm myself the Lord said “Don’t lose your keys” and I instantly knew what he was referring to. I hadn’t been in the word or spending time with Him and I was dry.
I was feeling battle-weary and had dropped my keys of authority and identity.
We have all been through a similar season of the enemy overtly robbing and stealing from us and trying to prevent us from starting the movements we were called to. He doesn’t want us with keys or access to the kingdom and he doesn’t want us walking in miracle-working power and anointing.
Today the Lord is saying that not only is it time to take back your keys but it is time to open the double doors that have been hidden from you. It’s time to move from the place of treading water and survival and moving into a new realm of access and closing the door to the era of defeat behind you.
Today also reminds me of the season we were launching our ministry and I kept seeing 222 and 22:22 over and over daily and couldn’t understand why until one night I had a very vivid dream. In the dream a Canadian revivalist knocks on my door and says his name and we go for a walk around my city talking about revival, territory for the kingdom, and the coming harvest. At the end of the dream he handed me a big, ancient set of keys on a keyring like a jailer’s keys. Some of the keys were really old and some were new and shiny. When I woke up I googled this man’s name and he existed!
But what were the keys?
• I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. (Isaiah 22:22)
• I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven. (Matthew 16:19)
Jodie Hughes says on her website that 222 and 22:22 means “Open doors, Double doors, Authority to decree God’s purposes, assuriety of his promises, Open doors of favor. Kingly authority to take new ground. Encouragement for the pioneer and those establishing apostolic works to trust and enter new promises. Establishing in the spirit kingdom order”
Today is your day to pick up your keys again and shake them in the face of every demonic assignment that has been bullying and intimidating you, threatening your family, your marriage, your finances, and your destiny.
It’s time for the church to be reminded of who she is and what she carries. We aren’t empty-handed or voiceless – we are the head and not the tail, ABOVE not beneath, and today is a line in a sand day to break past every confining influence that has been trying to hold us back from wielding what is our birthright.
So let me prophesy – you are at a threshold and you can’t keep going in the way you have been. You can’t keep living in the frenzy of the enemy’s games and plans swirling around you. It’s time to pick up your keys and wave them in the air as a declaration of a new day of heaven fighting for you and the Holy Spirit overshadowing you in Jesus’ name!

This week, as I was praying over the pioneers, I received a vision that spoke powerfully of where many of us are right now. In this vision, I saw people standing in a tight path surrounded by mountains that seemed to press in on them from all sides. Their faces showed a mix of confusion and uncertainty, as though they were struggling to discern which way to go. As I watched, I felt the Lord impress upon me that this was a picture of those in transition, a season marked by movement, yet filled with questions and unknowns. Thrust into Transition Right now, many pioneers have been suddenly thrust into this season of transition, where everything seems to be shifting around them. Assignments that once brought purpose have come to a close. Relationships that once felt secure have faded or ended. It’s as though God is clearing the slate, changing everything to prepare each person for the next assignment, the new thing He has in store. The Lord’s heart for us in this moment is to rest in Him and not be overwhelmed by the movement and change. We’re not to stress, strive, or hustle our way through this season, nor are we to lose the peace He has given us. But in the vision, as I continued to look at these pioneers, suddenly, I saw rocks being hurled at them from seemingly nowhere. These rocks were not large or threatening enough to cause real harm, but the pioneers responded as if they were deadly. Rocks in scripture often represent obstacles, burdens, or even accusations in the spirit. During transition, the enemy uses these rocks as tools to create distraction and unrest, seeking to chip away at the confidence, joy, and hope we are meant to carry in these times of change. In this case, these rocks were more than just small irritations—they symbolized deeper issues at play. Anxiety, Fear, and the Battle of the Mind As I asked the Lord what these rocks represented, He revealed that they were fear, anxiety, and foreboding. Many pioneers have endured difficult seasons of transition in the past, seasons where they faced hardship, uncertainty, and unresolved pain. Now, in this current transition, the enemy is stirring up those old anxieties and fears, seeking to trigger feelings of insecurity and foreboding. These small rocks are reminders of past seasons that the enemy is using to create turmoil in the mind. And that’s what this is right now - a battle of the mind. A relentless onslaught of thoughts that pull us back to survival mode, and that old wilderness mentality. The enemy wants us to believe that this transition will be like the painful ones we’ve endured before. But the Lord is saying that this time, it’s different. He wants us to resist the temptation to dwell on fear and instead press into the peace He’s offering. Breaking the Rocks of Anxiety and Fear In the vision, as I continued to see the rocks pelting these pioneers, I heard the Lord say: “I am going to break the rocks and stones of anxiety and foreboding that have been over my people.” He brought to my mind Jeremiah 23:29, which says: “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” God’s word is a hammer that shatters the rocks that have burdened His people, breaking every lie, every doubt, and every foreboding thought that the enemy has tried to use against them. Where anxiety has felt like a constant assault, God is declaring that His word will bring freedom and clarity. He is removing the remnants of past traumas and resetting His people for the joy, purpose, and victory that lie ahead. The key right now - THE WORD The key right now to breaking free from these rocks of fear and anxiety is to immerse ourselves in the Word of God. This is a practical word for us in this season. We are called to take out the Word, meditate on it, and let it transform our minds. Let it be as the hammer that breaks through the lies and distortions the enemy has used to cloud our vision. The enemy has been waging war over our minds because he knows that if he can capture our thoughts, he can keep us flustered, anxious, and unable to discern God’s direction. But as we root ourselves in the Word, we reclaim our authority over our minds. We’re not to dwell on fear, but instead to anchor ourselves in the promises God has spoken over us. TAKE BACK GROUND As we reclaim our peace and mental clarity, the fog of confusion will begin to lift. Where we have felt flustered, we will find renewed focus and calm. As God smashes the rocks of transition anxiety, He will release fresh strategies and wisdom. Our minds will be free to hear His voice clearly, to move forward without fear, and to embrace this new season with joy. The Lord is leading us into a place of freedom, not bondage. He is guiding us to a place where we can dream with Him again, where transition is not marked by survival but by excitement for what lies ahead. As we allow God to break the rocks and restore our peace, we will receive the strategies we need to move forward boldly, and unafraid. This is His promise over us in this season. He is breaking the rocks of anxiety and foreboding. He is restoring clarity and peace. And as we walk in this, we will see the fullness of His plans unfold before us, unafraid and with great expectation for what He has prepared. Let me pray for you; Lord, we come before You, surrendering every fear, anxiety, and foreboding that has tried to cling to us in this season of transition. We thank You, Lord, that You are the God who goes before us, who sees every obstacle, every challenge, and every unknown. You know the depths of our hearts and the wounds we’ve carried from past seasons. Today, we release those burdens to You, knowing that You desire to heal and restore us. Father, we invite Your Word to be the hammer that breaks every rock of fear and anxiety in our lives. We ask that You shatter every lie, every doubt, and every foreboding thought that the enemy has used to cloud our minds. Let Your truth replace every anxious thought and fill us with clarity and peace. Holy Spirit, we welcome You to fill the places in our minds and hearts that have been disturbed by transition. Give us the strength to resist fear, to move out of survival mode, and to embrace the new season with confidence and joy. We ask for a reset in our spirits, for fresh vision, and for the excitement of dreaming with You again. Lord, we declare that You are breaking the rocks that have tried to hinder us. We receive the strategies, wisdom, and direction You are releasing. Let our minds be clear and our hearts be at peace, so we can walk forward unafraid, knowing that You have prepared the way of this transition and we no longer have to fear in Jesus name!

I believe we are in a restart moment. Many have been in survival mode for so long feeling like they were in life support, lost their fire, vision, and hope. The last 4 years have been the the darkest and hardest and many have felt like they internally died. Heart and soul sick. Plagued with pioneering trauma and bruised faith. The enemy has raged against you to kill you. But what he didn’t know and you may not have known was that God was using it for your advantage! How? Yes God knew that if you died to what was plaguing you, you would finally enter the breakthrough you have been praying for. I believe what we’ve been going through in these last few years is the Lord bringing so much of what we’ve called kingdom, our pursuits, and fleshly assignments—He’s been killing them. Like I shared recently, God has wanted for the oxen that you’ve been on to die. Those yokes you were under looked like great religious activity but they were driving you into burnout and mental exhaustion. There’s been so much activity, mindsets, and belief systems created around those activities for so long that they have been keeping us in destructive, tiresome, and weary patterns, leading us back into bondage over and over and over. And so, the purging that we’ve been in during 2024 is the Lord asking: “Will you come up the mountain so I can free you?” “Will you leave behind the thing you think you’re meant to be doing to come back to the only thing that I have asked of you?“ That’s right… intimacy. Connection. Friendship. “Will you leave all those things behind?” So many of us have been in such a purging season and it’s been painful. The tension has never been greater because we’ve been in a place where it’s felt like we’ve had to wrestle so much of what we thought we were meant to be doing with the deep longing and sense that the Lord was wanting us to finally let it go. We’ve also been battling the fact that we’ve seen so many doors close this year and so many things come to a very painful closure and death that we loved and genuinely believed He was on. Many people have been looking at their hands emptied, feeling like there was nothing of themselves left. Feeling completely depleted. But while this has looked negative according to our standards of success and fruitfulness, this was the Lord. This was the Lord’s hand. This truly has been a Lazarus moment for the church. In John 11:11, Jesus said, “My friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; I must wake him up.” I feel like the Lord has allowed the church to go into the tomb season because there are some things that you cannot get rid of unless you kill them. Just as we came to Christ and our old man died, the church has still been resurrecting old-nature concepts, values, ideas, and idolatries that the Lord has needed to kill off completely. It’s interesting how Jesus came into Bethany and wept with Lazarus’s sisters, knowing that He turned up late. I feel like it’s been a moment that’s felt like, “God, where are you? I don’t even know where you’ve been.” But the Lord has not abandoned you. He’s needed for those dependencies on so many comforts and things that we’ve relied on for so long to die. We’ve needed to lose our codependent relationship with the spirit of religion and institution to find ourselves fully alive in Christ again. THE SEISMIC SHIFT IN NATIONS Now, before I go any further, let me say this as well: This has not just been on a personal level. The nations have had to enter into dark days where it looked like the hand of the Lord was not present so they could reveal our need for Him. The nations have had to fall into a certain level of disrepair so that we would begin to cry again for the living God rather than depending on our own abilities. God has wanted the church to cry out for Him again instead of other Gods and idols. Even in western nations founded on Christianity have fallen for other Gods and priorities. They have been worshipping a “me” gospel and a “my truth” ideology and lost the fear of the Lord. But this week during the US election there has been a shift in the spirit—a seismic shift, as I called it—that I felt rippled out to the nations of the earth. It was a twofold process. First, it was a message to the enemy: God is not done with America and the nations, and He’s not done with the church. Second, it was a seismic shockwave broadcasting that we’ve entered a new chapter and a restart that begins now. Let me prophesy: Just as when Jesus died on the cross, He said, “It is finished,” and darkness spread out over the earth, and there was a deep earthquake, in that same way, an old chapter ended, and a new one began. There was a restart in the Spirit that began to take place. LET THE REPAIR-RATIONS BEGIN This week we entered into a Nehemiah moment where after the tomb and the demolition comes the rebuilding.. The enemy has been slowly dismantling people and nations through ideologies, agendas, and lies, but there is a great revealing speeding up that will bring about a great repentance, and a rebuilding. The light is on families, and nations. And I heard the word “REPARATIONS!” It’s the justice and recovery of the Lord personally and globally! Watch and see the hand of the Lord people of God! So, body of Christ, let me say this to you and prophesy this clearly: You’ve been through closure. You’ve been through the season of things falling to the ground and dying. You’ve been through the darkest nights of the soul in these last three to four years. But we are entering the greatest resurrection moment and restart that we’ve ever seen. The greatest comeback we have seen in our lifetime. You and I, the Church, and humanity are coming out of the tomb. We’re unwinding the bandages and looking our Savior in the eyes again and following Him and no one else. This is the restart...

As I was praying over this week, I saw a clear vision of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego cast into the fiery furnace for standing for righteousness when King Nebuchadnezzar ordered them to bow, and they would not bow. I feel this word is for the whole body of Christ right now, as many are going through personal struggles and battles. But I believe that what I was seeing was even more specifically for those who are standing for righteousness in their nation, in a time of division, high tension, and where people are easily triggered. The spirit of this age is raging, causing people to act in anger, to lash out at others, even within the body of Christ. There is a remnant of people who’ve been standing for righteousness and standing on the word of the Lord, who’ve come under intense slander, attacks against their reputation, their future opportunities, and even their livelihoods. Let me say this to you - Your stand for righteousness has caused a demonic surrounding warfare around you. This whole year, you’ve been living in a constant state of backlash because you’ve stood for righteousness. And it feels like, at this moment in time, you’ve been under so much pressure, so much intense scrutiny, surveillance, and warfare, that your mind, heart, and soul can hardly bear anymore. It’s felt like you’ve been cast into the fire of judgment and adversity, with battles and opposition swirling around you on a personal level, not to mention what you feel in your own nation and community. The war has been against your health. It’s been against your finances. It’s been against your relationships. It’s been against every part of your life. And you’re wondering, “God, what are you doing? Why am I suddenly in this place when I’ve stood for You? I’ve stood for righteousness.” And the Lord says to you this week, I am the fourth man standing in the fire. Let me say this again. The Lord says, I am the fourth man standing in the fire. I am the fourth man standing in the fire. And you will walk out of this not even smelling like smoke. For those who put Me first above man, for those who have not bowed to Baal, I will deliver, and I will bring recompense, says the Lord. Stand and watch My deliverance. Even in the next few months, when it looks impossible, even if your future looks bleak—but I will rescue you from that which has been after you, says the Lord.

I hear the Lord saying over the body of Christ: “Where is your peace? This week, you must come up higher. This week, you must gather around the throne room and hear what I have to say. “For the propaganda of the enemy is raging, and the media room is loud, broadcasting false hopes and false prophecies over the nations. But do you hear what I have to say? Can you hear My voice amidst the multitude of noise? I need you to come up higher. I need you to hear what I have to say. I need you to be delivered from the words, the accusations, the slander, and the things swirling in the spirit that have caused you to lose your footing and your peace. Step back into the throne room. Find that place of rest in Me again—despite what you see, despite what you hear.” As the Lord spoke, I went into a vision and saw people laid out in the throne room, wailing as if being purged of the pains of the times. Wars, rumors of wars—all the things swirling in the natural. These were realities, but they had failed to hear what the Lord was saying for this time. “You’ve only been listening to one side of the story,” the Lord said. “Do you know what I’m about to do? Do you know what I’m unleashing in the earth? Do you know the answers I’m releasing as an antidote to the wickedness of the times? Or have you lost sight of My heart for My people in this critical moment in history? Do you feel like I have been silent? Do you feel like My hand has been distant from the problems you face? You’ve been in survival mode, already accepting the outcomes the news and propaganda have delivered, drinking their poison that steals your hope and your future. But this week, I want you to anchor yourself again in the throne room, in My presence, in My abiding glory. “My presence will detox you, ridding you of the lies that have crushed your soul, made it sick, and caused you to backpedal on the faith and authority I’ve given you to wield in this hour.” “I know the storm is raging around you right now. I know the personal battles, the battles for your family, and the battles for your nation have left you feeling unsafe and unsettled. But I need you to hear what I am saying to My people in this unsettling time: I am Yahweh. I am God Almighty on the throne. I am the fourth man standing in the fire with you today.” “I am still your refuge. Though the winds blow, and the ground feels unsteady, I am your firm foundation. I am here to cover you, to uphold you, and to shelter you. I need you to know that I am in control. Do not lose sight of who I am or of My love for you. Anchor yourself in Me and you will not be shaken.” Then, in the vision, I saw people stand and walk to a table with scrolls and pens. They began to legislate in the spirit, as if at a table of heavenly strategy—releasing and decreeing the values of heaven into the earth. From a place of peace and presence, they were able to truly legislate and intercede for nations in crisis. But many have been battling intellect with intellect and fires with fires. “In this hour, I need My people to come up higher,” says the Lord. “I need them to battle from a different place and perspective. Get out from behind your keyboards and begin to release My will into the earth.” In the third part of the vision, I saw Jesus come and sign the scrolls that had been written and legislated. Then runners and heralds took these scrolls, opening them and singing their words. A song was released—a frequency and sound so powerful that it silenced the demonic realm raging like a fire across the earth. It shut them down. A clarion call sounded through worship, bringing things into divine order. The Lord said, “My people, have you forgotten your sound? Have you forgotten your voice? Have you forgotten the frequency I placed within you? Have you forgotten the authority I’ve given you? It’s time to rise with My strategies, My solutions, and release them as a song into the earth. “The earth has been in drought. It has been long since the church has seen My signs, wonders, and glory, and they have begun to fall for a counterfeit. But this will be the hour that I release you as a song into the earth, a song of uncompromising truth and glory that will shatter the blindfolds and veils that have covered My people, causing them to walk in dark deception and to fall for another savior, another outcome, another solution that seems right to man but leads to destruction. But you will lead them out. This week, get into My presence and reclaim your peace. I want you to see hope again. I want you to see that this is the hour you were born for—a time with reason and purpose, for you hold the keys to unlock those who are bound, and nations that are bound. “So this week, step out of the vitriol and back into My presence and glory. Celebrate from a place of victory that I have already won. My blood is enough. I am turning back the tide that has come against you, your family, and the nations.”
