Earlier in the week I woke up in the night sensing an extreme onslaught of heaviness in the spirit and knew I had to pray and intercede. As I began praying I suddenly heard the Lord say “I am raising up a standard!” and I was reminded of the scripture in Isaiah 59:19;
“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him”
I couldn't deny it, the warfare felt thick, but there was also such a sense of divine protection and God's fiery intervention from delayed justice and retribution. As I continued to pray the Lord showed me a few things He was doing that I will share in shorter bullet-point format. I pray these encourage you, break heaviness, shackles, and lift you into radical faith and feet planted in the promise.
I AM BREAKING THE HEAVY YOKES!
I AM CONFRONTING THE SPIRIT OF ASSASSINATION & ACCUSATION
I AM SHATTERING WORD CURSES, REMOVING DAGGERS, & EXTRACTING THE POISON
I AM SHIFTING YOU OUT OF HOPE-DEFERRED & BACK INTO OUTRAGEOUS HOPE & RADICAL FAITH!
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life” Proverbs 13:12
Pray with me" Lord I come into agreement with your word and what you are doing in my life right now to raise up a standard against the enemy's plans where he has been trying to take me out. I rebuke the devourer, the accuser, and the render every assignment of assassination void and useless in Jesus name. Every word against me cannot prosper and I refuse them any landing place or open door in my life to take root. I am who YOU say I am, and I will not be moved. Where I have begun to doubt you and your promise Lord I ask right now that you would baptise me afresh in your fire. Give me back my boldness and courage to roar in the face of the storm. I shake off the hope deferred, grief, and disappointment and I plant it feet back into faith. I command all yokes, demonic yokes, weights, false mantles, expectations, and heaviness to GET OFF MY SHOULDERS and every tormenting voice to get off my mind, because I am child of God and I will not be bullied or harassed another day longer. This is my year and that’s all there is to it. God promised so he will deliver. He is faithful so I will see the promise. And this is my moment to dig my heels in, join the radical remnant that don’t live by what they see, read in the news or feel, but those who are moved by the spirit of God alone - in Jesus name!
You will overcome by the BLOOD of the lamb and the WORD of His testimony. I encourage you to take communion as a family.. worship, praise, bless those that persecute you, shut down the lies that scream at you, and rest in the promise! Oh, won’t he do it!
“If anyone dares to stir up strife against you, it is not from me! Those who challenge you will go down in defeat. See, I am the one who created the craftsman who fans the coals into a fire and forges a weapon fit for its purpose, and I am the one who created the destroyer to destroy. But I promise you, no weapon meant to hurt you will succeed, and you will refute every accusing word spoken against you. This promise is the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants, and their vindication is from me,” says Yahweh” Isaiah 54:15-17
