Songs give us words to declare, so the powers of the air are reminded they are not in control. I hear this song in the spirit, I am not sure who needs it sung over them, but it’s time for the enemy to Tremble because Jesus, our warrior King, is waging war against our enemies in heavenly realms in ways we don’t always see. The manifestations of victory are happening everyday, some are personal others are corporate and still others are national and still others are global. Darkness is trembling, fear is being silenced, confidence is rising in God’s people and sleepers are waking. The darkness is running, the light is fast approaching, God is moving for a new day is here.

Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it? We are not where we once were and we are still not quite sure where we are going, but it is happening. We can sense the day breaking, the prison doors shaking, the creation making a sound for all to hear. It’s like the sound of Paul and Silas singing at midnight when all the prison doors flew open. There is a Luke 4:18 happening world wide, captives are being set free; the broken hearted are being healed; the blind are seeing; and the good news is being preached; because it is the acceptable year of the Lord. Oh my friends, this is not flattery, this is Biblical reality.

Isaiah 43:18-19 says, “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” There is a road, there is a river for the people of God to travel on. This is why the darkness is trembling, why your fears are being silenced, it feels foreign to you, but it is better to step into the foreign than to shrink back into the familiar. Can you hear the voice behind you saying, this is the way walk in it? (Isaiah 30:21) Me too, come on let’s go, through the wardrobe into a whole new world prepared for us on earth as it is in heaven.

The reality of two governments on earth, one national and one spiritual has opened my eyes to see things I could not see. When the national government on earth is calling for a great awakening it is for the people of the nation to realize how they have been taken advantage of by their leaders or a system of control that has oppressed them. When people wake up to this reality they cast off the evil regime that has been over them. We see it in Brazil, we see it Iran, we see in various nations around the world. This is a national great awakening and aligns with what Psalm 13:3-4 says, “Consider and hear me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.”

The national awakening is taking place, people are “waking up” to truths that were once hidden from them and when they wake up they are passionate about taking back their country. We need national awakenings, but this is not the final awakening we need, this is the national awakening we need. For if we sleep the sleep of death, the enemy is rejoicing over us and thinking he has prevailed over us as a nation. But God is awakening people nationally to truth that is setting nations free. We need this awakening, but we can’t stop at the national awakening, for there is another awakening we need as well.

Paul prays for the church in Ephesus and says, “I pray, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” (Ephesians 1:17-21).

We need a spiritual awakening as well, it is not enough to wake up nationally, we must wake up spiritually so we can know hope, glory and power that is in Christ. The spiritual great awakening is happening simultaneously with the national great awakening, that is why this is such a powerful move of God. It has started, but has not crested yet, but when it does, the whole world is going to be awakened both nationally and spiritually. Once awake the choice will be ours to stay awake or go back to the sleep of death. I see the majority of people staying awake and those who do will help build the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, for once you are awake to the hope, glory and power of God, to the revelation of Jesus Christ, you don’t want to go back to sleep, for you see the harvest in front of you and you want to work! It’s a two fold great wakening, national and spiritual. Thank you Lord!!!

In prayer this morning the Lord started speaking to me about eager anticipation versus patient expectation. He made a clear distinction between the two and I found it very insightful and wanted to share it with you for the days that are upon us are exciting days, but they are days that demand our restraint.

Eager anticipation senses the atmosphere and then eagerly tries to build something ahead of God’s timing. When the atmosphere is charged with the presence of God, the fulfillment of the promises of God and the sense of a major move of God, the Lord said, eager anticipation which is rooted in fear of missing out; wanting to be the first; and ultimately anxiety; drives us to build ahead of God’s timing.

I can tell you from experience, I had many false starts in this journey the Lord has had me on. I would sense changes happening in the atmosphere, I would see others succeeding in God activity, I would hear sermons that say don’t just sit there do something, but the Lord was restraining me and I would get so frustrated, but it was because I was operating from eager anticipation not patient expectation.

Patient expectation waits in the wind for the timing of God to begin. It is learning restraint, despite feeling the pull of external circumstances. It is facing the fear of missing out head on and reminding yourself, God has a place for you in His plan for this move of God. Patient expectation is operating in wisdom; being confident in hope; having patience in the process; and is rooted in faith/trust in God.

The winds of change are blowing, the voice of God is speaking, the people of God are changing, so the desire to build ahead of God is like spending money before the first check comes. The Lord told me the manifestations of what’s coming are the final touches of the preperation phase that precedes the presentation of what God has planned. Exercise restraint we are on the cusp of something huge!

When you have waited for an answer from God for any extended period of time, when that answer finally manifests, there is a confidence that comes and cannot be denied. It is not self-confidence, it is answered prayer confidence. It is faith. Faith is confidence that God does what He says He will do; that God answers prayer; that God does miracles. The enemy can taunt, trouble, tempt and talk, but when God answers the cry of your heart, when God reveals truth that sets you free, when God does what only God can do, confidence comes in way that establishes faith not just in the answer received, but in the reality that anything is possible.

Last week I woke up to the words, HOST RIGHTEOUSNESS. I have been sitting one these two words for a week now, not sure what is meant, but then this morning when I was praying Psalm 11, the Lord reminded me of the word He spoke to me, HOST RIGHTEOUSNESS. This morning, the Lord showed me that what He was saying, was one of His names, LORD of Hosts. Psalm 11 says, the LORD is righteous, so to HOST RIGHTEOUSNESS was a name He was speaking to me, He is the LORD of Hosts.

Searching out this name of God, I learned the first time God is called LORD of Hosts by a person is in 1 Samuel 1 in the story of Hannah, who was barren. Out of her grief, she called on God and used His name LORD of Hosts. That alone is powerful, but what spoke to me was how when God answered her prayer for a child, her confidence went to another level. It was like she went from grief to confidence and I believe that is where we are going. The body of Christ has been grief stricken by many things, but we are about to see answered to prayer and our confidence in God is about to shoot through the roof.

I wanted to end with what Hannah said at the end of her song, that she sang from a place of confidence. 2 Samuel 2:10 “The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed.” She went from grieving about being barren to being confident that God was about to deal with the enemies in her nation. My friends, the days of grieving have ended, God has answered our prayers and now people are declaring confidently that God is about to deal with the enemies in our nation. And we are going to HOST RIGHTEOUSNESS as a nation. This is what confidence sounds like.

Multiple prophets have said 2023 is the year of Psalm 23. I enjoy listening to the prophets, but I also like sleuthing out what God is saying about what the prophets are saying. Therefore, I have been looking at Psalm 23 today and what I learned from the Holy Spirit is that Psalm 23 is a psalm that moves us. Now if you don’t want to be moved this year, Psalm 23 will be a hard Psalm to embrace as the word of the Lord for the year. Since the prophets are saying 2023 is the year of Psalm 23, I wonder if God is announcing a move the church, the body of Christ is about to make. Here is what I saw in Psalm 23.

The first order of business for a Psalm 23 year is a surrendering of your will to lead your own life. Right there we are going to lose a lot of people. But listen to what Psalm 23 says, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.” It is very clear from go who is in charge in Psalm 23 and it is not me. The LORD is the one who leads, not me, not us, no matter our title. If 2023 is a Psalm 23 year, we need to see if we can pass the LORD is our leader test. And He is not leading us for our name’s sake, He is leading us for His name’s sake, so 2023 is going to be a year not about me, but about the LORD.

Secondly we see where He is leading us as the body of Christ, right into the valley and we are to not be afraid of any evil we see or hear about in the valley. Here is what we will find in the valley this year…1) The rod of God; 2) The staff of God; 3) The table of God; 4) The oil of God. These are the valley tools God will use to lead us through the valley this year. Watch for these to manifest in a major way this year.

Finally, we are being told where we are being led to and what will be following us. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.” The Lord who is our Shepherd is taking charge this year of His body and leading us into a valley and then goodness and mercy are going to follow us right into the House of the LORD, where we will dwell forever. We are being led into the House of God to dwell there. The House of God is the presence of God, the power of God, the people of God. It is a place of corporate worship, governmental rule of nations and demonstration of the kingdom. What a year this is going to be as the body of Christ submits to being led by the LORD this year.

You have been crowned! Yes you…when you were born the Lord crowned you with glory and honor. I know you have been told if you wear your crown you are being arrogant, proud or boastful, so you have took it off, put it away, but today the Lord is reminding you, you have been crowned.

The crown is not a sign of authority over another person, the crown is a statement about who you were created as. Every human is crowned with glory and honor. When we wear our crown of glory and honor, we act as royalty, we live an honorable life and we give glory to the one who crowned us. When we don’t realize we have been crowned, when we neglect our crown or when we take off our crown, our lives get all out of sorts, because we were made to be crowned.

When we wear our crowns, when we live a glorious and honorable life, we can see the crown of glory and honor on others and treat them as the crown they wear deserves. Every human being deserves to be treated with honor, if we can put our crown back on, stop neglecting our crown, we will see the same crown on others and honorably will be how we treat each other. Honor is not earned, honor is bestowed on people not by people but by God. The sin of dishonor is so rampant in cultures around the world and it must be restored for God has crowned us with honor and glory.

You have been crowned, not because I said so, but because God said so. Psalm 8 “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.” Wear your crown, honor others and give God all the glory. You have been crowned!!!

God has declared a move from the micro-phone to the macro-tone. The church has been known for it’s micro-phone message but it is, from now on going to be speaking a macro-tone message. The voice of God is making us one, we will have oneness of sound in ways we don’t even understand yet. The church is moving from the micro-phone to the macro-tone.

The Lord spoke this to me with such gusto this morning, it was not open to discussion. The words were familiar to me, but they came hyphenated, so when He said it I saw the words micro-phone and macro-tone. Therefore, in order to gain a greater understanding into what the Lord was saying, I had to look up these two words as actually four words. Micro, phone, macro, and tone. Here is what they mean.

Micro = very small, basic, small scale

Phone = to try to make a connection; to dial; to impart

Macro = of great size, large in scope or extent, large-scale

Tone = a sound of distinct pitch, quality or duration; a whole step

(Dictionary dot com)

The Lord said, “I have declared a move from the micro-phone to the macro-tone”. The church has been known for a micro-phone, small, basic connection, but we as the church have been moved to a macro-tone, a large-scale distinct sound of great size. This sound will be undeniable, identifiable, and desirable to both believers and unbelievers. Listen for the new sound, for we have moved from the micro-phone to the macro-tone. “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Ephesians 4:5-6)

The transformation of a nation is happening even as we speak. Much of it is taking place behind the scenes so few can see it, but there are glimpses of the transformation that has come through the curtain as encouragement about what is happening. Just like when we got saved, there was a season of transition as the transformation that took root in us. Those who are being transformed into the character and mind of Christ understand the massive transformation that is taking place in the nation. It is of epic proportions.

Salvation was the declaration for our nation, Dutch Sheets has been decreeing for years, America Shall Be Saved. Salvation is deliverance, it is transformation, it is identification that we belong to God. Many have fought against the salvation of this nation, but God decreed it and Dutch Sheets echoed it along with many others in the nation. America has been and continues to be saved. God heard the cries of the people in this nation asking for her salvation, and He has responded in kind. He has forgiven our national sins, for many have 2 Chronicles 7:14’d for our nation in DC and in various other places around the nation. God heard, God answered, God accepted our repentance and America has been saved.

Now what we are seeing is not the salvation of a nation, but the transformation stage of a nation. Matthew 28 tells us to disciple nations, discipleship is where transformation happens. There are signs of our nation being discipled all around us for those who know what transformation of a nation looks like. One of the main transformations taking place is the renewing of the mind of a nation from wickedness ruling to righteousness reigning. The nations is smack dab in the middle of Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Leaders who can’t see where the nation is going will lose their influence because God has decided to disciple our nation in righteousness and justice again. America has been saved, now she is being transformed.

God is the looking for the “Speaker” of His house and it’s not coming by the vote of man; they are coming by the placement of God. The one’s who have been there haven’t gotten anything done, so a new position will not change their ineffectiveness. The days of being “next in line” are over; the days of being chosen by God’s design are upon us. A firewall has been erected, saying, we are not going this way anymore. It’s like Balaam’s donkey stopping the prophet from advancing.

Numbers 22:22-23 “Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. Now the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.”

The angel of the Lord is blocking the progressive agenda of the house. Just because you are dressed in the right party doesn’t mean you are a party affiliate. The Lord has shown me this morning that what is playing out in the natural with the “vote” for Speaker of the House is a parable to consider for what God is doing in government both nationally and in the church. Nations and churches are governments on earth. One is called the Congress, the other is called the Ekklesia. The days of “next in line” are over. God is done with the progressive agenda advancing, the ineffectiveness being paid for.

What has not happened in over 100 years in the natural is a sign of the blocking of the “false prophets”; “party affiliates” who have been in the “house” leadership for a long time but have not done anything to advance the agenda of the King of kings. My friends, everything is changing and if you look closely, you will see this is not the donkey’s issue it is the angel of the Lord blocking the progress of that which is false in government on many levels.

Completing a four day three night prophetic adventure was wonderful, but tiring. I got home last night and slept in my bed and thought I will get a night off to sleep now that this prophetic adventure is over. Nope, I had a dream last night and after doing the research on the word I was reminded of all night long, I can see this prophetic adventure is having an after party today.

In the dream a good friend of mine and I were laughing, hugging, playing, enjoying seeing each other after a time of not seeing each other. This friend, and I then saw this car which was really nice, so I said, to her in the dream, pose by the side where the name of the car is. As she bent over at the waist to pose two others got in the picture with her and I saw the word on the car VELAR. I snapped the picture and then the others in the photo got in the front of the car, which looked like the bow of a boat and my friend and I watched it drive away. End of dream.

Though the dream ended all night long in all caps the word VELAR was ringing in my spirit, it was being spelled out to me in my sleep so I would not forget it. If I wasn’t so tired I would have woke up wrote it down and went back to sleep, but since I didn’t it kept going over and over again inside of me so I did not forget it. I wake up, with the word first thing on my mind and I look it up and it is a car, a Range Rover Velar, I love Range Rovers, so that was fun, but did not feel prophetic. I continue to search and the definition of the word is: of relating to a velum (a rim of tissue around the margin on the BELL of certain cnidarians – jelly fish); Latin for curtain or veil; has to do with the tongue and certain sounds; soft palate – roof of the mouth; places of articulation.

Velar – veil, sound, bell! You can’t make this up. Mark 15:37-38 says, “And Jesus uttered a loud CRY (sound, tone) and breathed His last. And the veil (curtain) of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” This is VELAR! It is the voice, the veil and the bell, remember the priests had bells on their robe when they went behind the veil. The Lord said, “The sound of the bell is the voice that goes behind the veil. My friends, our voices are going behind the veil like the sound of a bell and God is answering our prayers. Lift up your voice, cry aloud, let the Lord hear your hearts cry for He is answering us right now! VELAR…its a veil, its a sound, its a bell!!!
