I HEARD THE LORD SAY “IT’S GO TIME, THIS IS THE BABY YOU DIDN’T EXPECT!

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “IT’S GO TIME, THIS IS THE BABY YOU DIDN’T EXPECT!

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “IT’S GO TIME, THIS IS THE BABY YOU DIDN’T EXPECT!

In the last week I’ve been consumed by a reoccurring theme the Lord keeps speaking to me about which is that we are in a moment of time where God is DE-COMMISSIONING and COMMISSIONING the people of God. There has been such an increased angelic activity to both decloak the old, mantle the body of Christ with the new, as well as distributing a fresh UNCTION and OIL, and a fresh FIRE and fuel to run forward.

IT’S A GREEN LIGHT

For days I kept seeing the same vision over and over of a green lighting flashing that then turned solid green and I heard the lord say “TELL THEM IT’S GO TIME!” and I felt such a commissioning presence in His voice and a POWER that was literally LAUNCHING people in this season who are carrying KEY and SIGNIFICANT kingdom expressions, projects, ministries, and creativity that would be catalysts for the rest of the body of Christ.

The word “GO” kept being illuminated in my spirit and the passage where Jesus commissions the disciples in Mark 16:15. 
The word “Go” in Greek is “poreuomai” which means “to transport, move something from one destination to another, to go or depart, and comes from the word “poros” which is a passageway to journey through. God is commissioning us with a GO that is drawing out what we carry so we can distribute it.

This is especially significant for those who have felt almost restrained from putting their foot on the accelerator in the past few months as if the timing wasn’t right to launch and release in certain areas. There has been many shifting and moving parts and components that have needed to align and many in the next few weeks and leading into June will not just feel a PERMISSION to release but also a CLARITY as if suddenly all the pieces connected and made sense. This is where the dots begin to connect and the road is more defined than it has in months passed. God is activating the MOVEMENT that you are carrying and saying that it’s time for you to RUN with it!

THE BABY YOU DIDN’T EXPECT

Many are going to give birth to movements and ministries they didn’t even know they carried at all. “This will be the baby you didn’t expect!” I heard the Holy Spirit say. So many have been walking around like spiritually barren Hannah’s not even knowing they are carrying the prophetic promise to their generation. I prophesy that your barren winter season HAS ENDED and just when you thought your days of dreaming and birthing were done God is going to birth something through you that you didn’t see coming and others won’t be able to comprehend why God would give you such honor and favor.

I also felt this was speaking into the nations right now where things have looked bleak, that God was birthing an UNEXPECTED move of God that wouldn’t come the same way we have seen it come in years past that would AWAKEN, ACTIVATE, and ARM the church into action. God is reviving revival-carriers in the earth and igniting torch bearers that have lost their flame. I sensed such a strong “call-back” to posts long forgotten and those who have fallen along the way restored. Even as the conversation on life in the womb continues to spread and laws and governmental decisions are being made I’m hearing that God is going to do the unexpected. Things are swinging back to life!

Prepare for the unexpected church because God is going to reveal himself more and more to the world in the days to come.

MEDIA ERUPTION/DISRUPTIONS

I kept seeing an “ON AIR” glowing sign like you would see in a tv or radio studio and I sensed that there was a birthing of many new media focussed ministries that weren’t going be more white noise on the airwaves or in social media platforms but were anointed to DISRUPT the noise with an ERUPTION of Gods GLORY. God is commissioning people in this hour to give their lives to being the light in media and restore truth and exalt the name of Jesus. Media apostles are arising that will be innovators to build kingdom platforms and creative outlets for the kingdom to shine its light even brighter. Many reading this right now have been been in a tug of war over this because you know you have truth to release but you are seeing beyond the confines and limitations of current platforms. “BUILD with me, DREAM with me!” Says the lord.

I also felt that the “On Air” sign was indicative of this season of TAKING BACK THE AIR for the kingdom. It was a prophetic sign and public declaration of this season that the enemy may have had the media airwaves for a long time but now the SONS and DAUGHTERS are ON AIR and things are changing!

THE CAROUSEL & THE ROOM OF MIRRORS

I had a dream last week I was at a carnival and the same situation repeated itself. Firstly I was on a carousel that didn’t seem to ever stop and I wanted to get off. It didn’t feel fun or exciting in fact I felt nauseous and frightened because I felt like I was missing out on something else. Suddenly I was in a room of crazy mirrors that were distorting what I looked like and I was lost in this confusing, unsettling maze unable to find the exit. The next morning the Lord said to me that there was an ending and severing of an assignment to trap and delay people from entering their promise. It was an assignment of the enemy to lure and divert, distort, and trap people in a cycle they felt unable to move on from. Such a spirit of confusion has been in people that they haven’t been able to discern truth and even lost their identity in the process. I command that demonic assignment ENDED in Jesus name!

THE STOP ON STOPLIGHT ALIGNMENTS

Many of you are feeling the uncomfortable decommissioning of old assignments and alignments but Holy Spirit has been highlighting a specific de-commissioning happening in the spirit right now.

Many of you have been surrounded by opposing voices that don’t want you to move forward. They are the STOP-LIGHTS in your life that have continually held you back by showing up at every turn to make sure you never rise up higher and never see the fulfilment of dreams. You can’t be surrounded by those voices moving forward because YOUR VOICE, YOUR EXPRESSION is too valuable to be shut down and faded out. God is bringing exposure to the assignments and alignments that keep zapping your strength and taking the wind out of your sails. Instead God wants to surround you with family who are safe to grow with, dream with, and show your pearls to without fear of them being trampled.

Watch as God severs these unequally yoked ties and gives you back your passion and ferocity you felt you lost in the past season living under the weight of people’s words and control. Remember you don’t wrestle flesh and blood but you can’t keep allowing the enemy to steal your voice through these relational avenues. God is JEALOUSLY calling you out of bondage to usurping and disabling agendas that only leave you empty, passionless and your voice silenced. I prophesy YOUR ROAR IS COMING BACK!

DELAY ENDS HERE

I was talking to the Lord yesterday morning when he highlights a scripture to me from Revelation 10:5-7;

“Then the mighty angel whom I saw astride the sea and the land raised his right hand to heaven and swore an oath by him who lives for an eternity of eternities, the Creator of heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them: No more delay! For in the day when the seventh angel is to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets”

As I read this scripture I felt an incredible presence of the Lord in my room as a strong sense that the Lord was dealing with delay on being able to MOVE FORWARD in this season. Many people are pushing hard and trying their best to get ahead and be good stewards of their prophetic words but feel like there is little to no fruit showing for their efforts. Like the cogs seem to be moving slower than expected. BUT I believe God is DE-COMMISSIONING the delay that has been against you and your promises.

I prophesy that this is your GREEN LIGHT, NO DELAY season of UNEXPECTED BIRTHING, RELEASING, FLOWING with the Spirit, and RUNNING forward. The ending of disabling voices and influences, the season of a NEW SONG arising, the AMPLIFICATION of your voice, and the RESTORATION of clarity, purpose, and JOY in Jesus name!

Earlier this week Christy and I were revelating together over how we both feel like the Lord is revealing the head of the snake of narcissistic assignments in relationships and alignments right now. For many years, it's felt like a taboo subject in the church as victims have felt afraid to speak up for fear of looking unloving or critical. Many believers have been deeply entrenched in spiritual prisons to this spirit, whether in marriages, family relationships, friendships, or church environments. It's been the culturally acceptable spirit that has lingered for generations, enslaving and oppressing God's people, especially prophetic people. It seems to be a rite of passage for those called to be a voice in this hour, having to navigate many seasons of constant assault and bully tactics. But something has shifted recently. It feels like the church is beginning to wise up and rise up, realizing they can't keep pretending it's okay to be treated the way they are. They can no longer keep allowing this spirit to suppress them and muzzle them, and in an hour, they are called to step into their God-given assignment. JEZEBEL UNMASKED Right now, this spirit is being unmasked in families, marriages, and relationships, giving many courage to break the recurring cycle of the demonic mess they have been enduring for decades. The silenced are finally beginning to push back in the power of the spirit and resist it while many others are pushing back on those rising up, stuck in a Stockholm syndrome-type bondage to the spirit where they have lived for so long, protecting and covering up for the narcissist. But I believe the jig is up. God is revealing this spirit for what it is. Jezebel is being unmasked. That's right. Narcissism is nothing more than Jezebel in disguise. What we have called a "disorder" for years is nothing more than the fruit of her twisted games. What we have called submission in abusive relationships and environments is nothing more than her control to keep people in check. What we have called modern culture is nothing more than her demonic propaganda being spread to the masses to infect and rob a generation of her purity and kingdom values. It goes deeper than we know, but now she is being unmasked on a personal and corporate scale. She has been in disguise, but now she has nowhere to hide. The church is rising up. THE POISON IS COMING OUT In early April, I had two very detailed dreams. In the first dream, God revealed his plan to unmask this spirit in families, marriages, and relationships. I saw masses of people standing under a waterfall of the spirit and poison was leaving them as they stood there and let the Lord flush it out. Standing under the powerful flow, they began to yell, "I see you, Jezebel, and I no longer tolerate you in my marriage and family!" It felt like a moment of recovery and take-back. God was flipping the script in family dynamics that felt impossible to shift or turn around but I could see He was doing it. It was being exposed and bringing deliverance to those operating in this spirit. And for those asking, "Can people really be delivered?" Yes, I have to believe that nothing is outside of God's ability to heal and transform. That doesn't mean we stay in abusive settings or keep tolerating it, but it does mean giving the people operating in this spirit the opportunity to repent and turn their lives and patterns around. But without repentance, there will be no change. In the dream, I could see how this poison had been affecting people for a long time, but God was dealing with it globally. That's why right now, it's coming to the surface and why victims of hidden and covered-over abuse are coming out of the shadows. Can you feel the poison coming to the surface right now? This leads me to my next dream. DRAINING THE SWAMP The second dream was far more intense and was even detailed in revealing movements and empires God is unmasking Jezebel in right now. This dream was revealing her footprint and influence in ministries and the church. For years, I have been talking about how Jezebel has been given a seat at many tables. Networks and movements have willingly let her have the stage and water down the word, bringing the masses into bondage. But this dream showed something far more sinister. In the dream I was on a massive property owned by this empire when I watched many scenes unfold of deep underground evil being fronted as a ministry. The compromise was painful to see. Jezebel was not only welcomed here, but she was running the show. In the dream, I stood up and began to confront it when Jezebel called for security to take me out. I escaped in a gondola car over a large lake, but the ropes were cut. As we fell into the lake, it began to drain until it was empty, revealing a small film set. I was witnessing the moment she was welcomed in.. in the infancy of the ministry decades earlier. It had then become a global phenomena bringing many other ministries into bondage who ate her food. This dream revealed the narcissistic spirit at work In a global network environment and how it hasn't just affected one or two people but millions in one swoop. But right now, God is draining the swamp. Those who have been under her spell and in bondage for decades to her cult-like demands and false coverings are being freed. Contracts are being torn up. False alignments are being exposed. Yes, God is raising up a Jehu company to throw her down! THE WHISTLEBLOWER ANOINTING So don't be surprised if whistleblowers rise up and when they do remember this; Whistleblowers aren't always operating in a critical spirit. Many of them are called to blow the lid off the festering evil hidden under Jezebel's bed. They lay down their lives to do what prophets on her payroll refuse to. Whistleblowers are not only those called to cast out and evict this spirit, but they carry the purity to build God's heart in the ashes of the demonic aftermath. We are those who have been bullied and muzzled and pushed in the corner for too long, now stepping into an anointing to take off her mask and lead the church into her days of being the spotless and pure bride! CALLING A SPADE A SPADE I feel like I have so much more to say on that topic which we will be diving into in RMNT BOOTCAMPS this year. (WWW.RMNT.CO) but for now, I want to give you a straightforward directive for this hour. Many of you have been in bondage to or affected by this spirit, whether in your family, marriage, or ministry/church environments. Your number one question is, "How do I begin to break free?" The answer to this is simply NO LONGER TOLERATE IT! Revelation 2:20 says, "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols." My answer to you is - no matter what you are facing, let your focus be - I CAN NO LONGER LET HER SILENCE OR SUPPRESS ME! Take authority over that assignment. Repent for tolerating it for so long. Ask for deeper healing from her poison. And draw up strong boundaries to no longer let people operating in it affect you. Then, stand by your convictions. Then take communion daily and overcome by the blood of the lamb which is your greatest muscle in this process. And don't let the religious spirit make you feel wrong for exposing her, but let's normalize EXPOSING IT FOR WHAT IT IS! I know many of you are in burnout after enduring this for so long. I know you are in a swirl of mental bombardment because she senses you breaking free. I know you feel a deep lethargy, wanting to keep you in that bondage. But your future and many others are going to be impacted by your own freedom. This is worth fighting for. Even if they slime you for a season you will see God vindicate you. NOW, LET ME PROPHESY This is your breakout moment. I commend the Jezebellic, narcissistic spirit to be broken off your life now in Jesus' name! You are coming OUT of the twisted games and daily manipulation of this spirit and into the freedom of the HOLY GHOST!!

I've had the same dream consecutively for the last three nights in a row, and I believe this dream is the Lord speaking about what He is about to pour out upon the body of Christ in this next season. Before I share the dream, I need to speak about the season that we have been in. It's what I have called a spiritual and natural recession. Since 2020, there has been an assignment or recession constantly trying to make the church back peddle on faith amidst so much shaking. It's the season where finances have felt tighter because the enemy is anticipating this great wealth transfer that he dreads coming to the church. That's why financial systems have been shaken, interest rates have skyrocketed, and people have gone into survival mode. Yes, the enemy has been afraid that the church will not be able to build the infrastructure for the years to come. He has tried to bring back a poverty mindset upon the body of Christ and a hope-deferred spirit to cause us to feel deeply let down by God and doubt His promises. This is why we have seen a great delay in promised provisions, breakthroughs, and plans. It's where many have had an endless assault on their bank accounts and things that used to flourish in past seasons. This is why it has felt that things have been falling to the ground and failing, and many of your plans and ideas have been shipwrecked, and you have not seen them flourish as you used to in years past. But I feel even before I share my dream, I need to say to you - this is all changing. We've been in a season that has felt like recession, and the news is only backing up this fear agenda, but just as we are on the cusp of what the world is saying is going to be another great depression, the Lord says today that you are going to experience my EXPANSION! GO TO THE RIVER! Now, let me share the dream. In the dream, I am simply told that I must go to the mouth of a river and catch a fish. As I catch this fish and bring it in, I open up its mouth, and there are three gold coins inside. On the first coin, it says DEBT. On the second coin, it says SOW. On the third coin, it says BUILD. Do you remember the story of when Jesus owed taxes and what He told Peter to do? "But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth, and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." - Matthew 17:27 I believe this dream was shown to me three times because three represents restoration and fullness. When Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus restored him three times by saying, "Feed my sheep!" I believe this dream is speaking into a season of such endless provision in those three areas - debt repayment, Sowing, and Building. We are about to see a season of the repayment of debts that is not just the debts that you owe, or that God wants to wipe clear, but the debts that people owe you. We are coming into a time where the Lord is repaying that which the locust ate in your life. You have lived in such a deficit and been living in a deficit mindset constantly - always under and never above, but the Lord is coming to repay that which has been stolen and robbed from you for many seasons past. And where you've been living stewarding debt, the Lord wants to switch that so that you are beginning to steward the endless resources of the Kingdom. Regarding the second coin, The scripture that came to mind was Ecclesiastes 11:1; "Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days." I believe we're entering into a time again when the Lord is restoring the joy of sowing. He's restoring the principle of sowing and the joy of sowing where many have felt like they've been in that survival mode and being unable to give, or even just being afraid of giving because of endless hardship and financial assault. The Lord is demolishing that mindset, and he's releasing joy upon the body of Christ to be the sowers and givers that we are called to be. I believe this is a promise that we're stepping into a time of great sowing where the Lord doesn't want us to be given wealth for the sake of hoarding it up, but for the sake of being a river, a flow-through, whereas He gives into us, we continue to release that finance through us and to those around us. We begin to help others build their dreams, build the things that God has given them, rather than just building what we have been given. We are entering a time where the world will look to us because we will be flourishing like a Goshen in the midst of so much ruin in man's systems on earth. THIRD COIN - BUILD Regarding the third coin, Many have been saying for a long time, "God, how do I build when I don't have the resources to build?" And so, for many years, people have been contending; they've been bringing the plots of land before their eyes. They've been printing out their vision and praying over it. But over the last year, I've noticed that people have begun to grow weary because it's like, "God, you've given us a massive vision, but we don't even have 1% of the finances to be able to build this vision!" It has felt like a deep cloud of discouragement and soul sickness has hit many because the enemy has been delaying these plans for so long now. It's begun to feel like a pie in the sky. It's begun to think like fool's gold. People have begun to get despondent and frustrated. There have been people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods, and in the midst of that, it almost feels like a cruel joke to have to believe in the promises of God for a big vision when you're barely surviving in some of these other areas. But I believe this dream is speaking that the Lord is about to release the resources to build. He's releasing the provision to finally build what He has given us. But today, the Lord says, "Get ready, the body of Christ, because you've been in survival mode for a long time. You've been in a time where you've had to manage and juggle and shuffle. "But I'm leading you out of that limited place into a time of a great reset of finances and provision of mindsets, and in your heart where you've grown hope deferred, you're about to build and see that which I've given you to build, get ready body of Christ, get ready body, get ready!" it's time to go down to the river. It's time to pick out the gold coins from the fish's mouth. And it's time to see a new era of provision come to your house in Jesus' name.

The Lord is demolishing that mindset, and he's releasing joy upon the body of Christ to be the sowers and givers that we are called to be. I believe this is a promise that we're stepping into a time of great sowing where the Lord doesn't want us to be given wealth for the sake of hoarding it up, but for the sake of being a river, a flow-through, whereas He gives into us, we continue to release that finance through us and to those around us. We begin to help others build their dreams, build the things that God has given them, rather than just building what we have been given. We are entering a time where the world will look to us because we will be flourishing like a Goshen in the midst of so much ruin in man's systems on earth. THIRD COIN - BUILD Regarding the third coin, Many have been saying for a long time, "God, how do I build when I don't have the resources to build?" And so, for many years, people have been contending; they've been bringing the plots of land before their eyes. They've been printing out their vision and praying over it. But over the last year, I've noticed that people have begun to grow weary because it's like, "God, you've given us a massive vision, but we don't even have 1% of the finances to be able to build this vision!" It has felt like a deep cloud of discouragement and soul sickness has hit many because the enemy has been delaying these plans for so long now. It's begun to feel like a pie in the sky. It's begun to think like fool's gold. People have begun to get despondent and frustrated. There have been people who have lost their homes and their livelihoods, and in the midst of that, it almost feels like a cruel joke to have to believe in the promises of God for a big vision when you're barely surviving in some of these other areas. But I believe this dream is speaking that the Lord is about to release the resources to build. He's releasing the provision to finally build what He has given us. But today, the Lord says, "Get ready, the body of Christ, because you've been in survival mode for a long time. You've been in a time where you've had to manage and juggle and shuffle. "But I'm leading you out of that limited place into a time of a great reset of finances and provision of mindsets, and in your heart where you've grown hope deferred, you're about to build and see that which I've given you to build, get ready body of Christ, get ready body, get ready!" it's time to go down to the river. It's time to pick out the gold coins from the fish's mouth. And it's time to see a new era of provision come to your house in Jesus' name.

This is burning in my spirit to share for those who have felt stuck or put on hold especially in the last 4 months. It seems like you are back in waiting but aren’t sure what for. You feel like you have been on a wild-goose chase that has suddenly shipwrecked you in “no mans land”. It feels like you have been robbed of your vehicle - your purpose. Like you have been pulled over and forced out. You feel like you have ended up in a situation that looks nothing like what you envisioned, grieving what makes you come alive but is now out of reach. Looking behind you it feels like your best days are over like you hit your peak - but you haven’t even seen your best days yet. I saw the word I NTERRUPTION being crossed out and in bright red the word LEGACY was written over it. None of this is an accident - where you are right now is a setup. THE UNEXPECTED PATH None of this was a mistake. Your unusual path. The detour. The treasure hunt and blind faith journey. It wasn’t a tease. It was designed to go somewhere you couldn’t have found on your own. You wouldn’t have chosen the mess and the unknown, the struggles and wrestles, pressing and crushing - and you also wouldn’t have seen what was waiting for you at the end of this. But now your heart needs to adjust to the new landscape. The new thing that you didn’t expect or envision. It’s not settling - Its surrender. It’s not giving up - it’s finally moving with the new flow and accepting the new script. ADDRESSING THE LIES The lie of failure has shut down your creativity and confidence. It’s made you drop your sword and begin to bargain your way out. The lie of being abandoned has questioned your first call and whether you heard God at all. No, you didn’t miss it. The lie of “this is as good as it’s going to get” has made you begin to settle for second best and make your bed in the valley but you are moving through! THE SEED FALLING TO THE GROUND Many have been in an extreme 4 months of what has felt like a “falling to the ground season” where it has felt like everything they once held has had to be laid down. “Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds” - John 12:24 I heard the Lord say “If my people don’t lay down what they are holding how can they pick up what I am giving them next?” It feels painful to let go of a dream or expectation you built your life around but God isn’t taking it from you to hurt you but to ADD TO IT! God wants to multiply you! Have you been fighting it? The enemy has. He wants you to stay in the same place you have been. He wants you to hold onto the old seeds that have worn around your neck like a necklace, but if you don’t let them go they will become like a lead weight! As quickly as you lean into surrender God will pour out what he wants to give you. This refining and shaking moment is protection and promotion. It’s advancement and the breaking of apathy. It’s the pure ointment clearing away the old husks of an old season. ENTER THE RESURRECTION! I then heard the Lord say “I am resurrecting my people!” and then I saw the 4 winds of the Spirit whirling and could see the purpose behind this process - God has been seeing his people in bondage, trauma, and constant conflict with the enemy and so He sent us through the fire to DELIVER US! What emerges from this furnace now is going to be so potent. New movements, ministries, messages, and voices. New synergy, partnerships, family, and tribe. Watch what and who leaves the tomb in this season. Watch who comes out of complete disablement with a fresh sound and voice for this season. “In the midst of fiery hot trials, persecution, shaking, opposition, and warfare, heavyweight ministries and movements are emerging and birthing. This is far from a “stuck” or “decrease” season for those who have held onto the hem of Jesus garment. This is where we see the cross outwork powerfully in crisis” “He must increase, but I must decrease” - John 3:30 God didn’t cast you off or send you into isolation - He is REFORMING you and readying you for the next chapter of this pioneering adventure! THE NEXT SIX MONTHS The six months from now til September (Rosh Hashanah) are going to be WAY OPENING months. New direction and coordinates are coming where there has been only roadblocks and no options. New blueprints and fresh vision for the days ahead are coming. Old wineskins will keep falling away. Powerless seeker sensitive Christianity will keep losing its grip and fiery red hot believers will emerge to lead the way forward. Veils of religion and fear are going to drop off the ears and eyes of Gods people so we can see this season clearly and embrace and seize it instead of running and hiding. We won’t fall for the lies of false prophet media. Regardless of what we hear on the news or see in some circumstances. God is tapping us into the newsroom of heaven to see beyond the storm. We are going to shake off the death of this past season and begin to live through the glasses of hope and the victory of the finished work of the cross again. Foundations will keep shaking as God reveals the true rock to build upon on. Structures on sand won’t survive this season. We are coming back to what matters and shedding the weight of every thing that has cluttered us and held us in bondage. We are going to resurrected seeds multiplied. We are going to increased anointing on those who have walked through this shaking season and kept their eyes on the Lord. Jesus is taking center place again in the church. We will see the broken merchant tables of the old expired movements begin to make way for the oil lamps of the burning ones. We are entering an extremely high revelatory season - and Jesus will share this heart with his friends. We are stepping out of defeat and into strategic alignment to hear the counsel of the lord and action it. The Josephs will make themselves known with practical insight of how to plan and prepare and build. We are entering a season of visitation that turns the hearts of the cold back to the Lord. Families that have even under fire will begin to see their broken foundations rebuilt and God is bringing joy and recompense to those who have suffered loss and sowed in tears. And Jesus gets all the glory.

To all of you facing giants this week: As I was praying I heard the Lord say “This is a moment to REMEMBER a what I have said and what I have done” “This is a moment to remind yourself of the breakthroughs you have seen and the impossibilities I demolished in front of you” “This is a time to find your greatest trials that you saw me move in and anchor yourself to that testimony that I will do once again” “This is a time to dig up the words spoken and prophesied over you and go to war with them, arm yourself with them, and stir up your faith to see them come to pass” “I know it’s hard to get your hopes up right now, and it’s been so long since you have seen opposition budge but you are about to see mountains move!” “Cut off the sources of fear, and stop listening to the giants trying to talk you out of your inheritance because soon they will be gone and you’ll hold the keys to the land” “Reject the lies and the failure, and ask yourself; who is fighting for you? Who wages war with you? Who is by your side? Who will never let you do this alone? That’s right, I am with you” “So this week raise up a shout and press into my presence. Lift up your sword and pierce the thick air with your cry, because your worship is going to disarm the warfare and unlock the gates” “The giants in the land are no match for my power and anointing I have given to you. So shake off the defeat and feeling powerless because you have the same power in you that resurrected Jesus from the grave” Let every obstacle, principality, roadblock, and demonic assignment shake in their boots as you March into this week with your hopes up and your sword raised high... we are going to see VICTORIES for the battle belongs to the Lord! “I will sing of you, the one who gives victory to kings— the one who rescues David, your loving servant, from the fatal sword” - Psalm 144:10 “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s” - 2 Chronicles 20:15
