Atmospheric Attack

A low hum has been happening in the atmosphere, it is a sound of an attack. If you have been sensing it, you know what I mean. It was not obvious or overt, but it was there, like a nuance. I could not put my finger on it, was it personal, was it regional, national, invidual, or corporate. I could not tell, but it was there. Maybe you sensed it the past week or so. Could it have been because of the Supreme Court case happening; the Ghislane Maxwell trial going on; the Jussie Smollet case being heard; the new variant being pushed; none of the above, all of the above, I was not sure, I just knew it was there. Then this morning in prayer, I could still sense it in the air, so began to inquire of the Lord specifically about it. No response from the Lord, so I began to pray Psalm 36.

Praying the word of God unlocks answers, puts cracks in dams of resistance and opens up fountains of living water that only the word can do. In verses 5-6 the character qualities of the Lord are identified: lovingkindness, faithfulness, righteousness, and judgments. As I begin to declare who God is, cracks start showing the in the wall of resistance I have sensed in the spirit. Crack, crack, crack, crack with every decree of who God is. Then in verse 8 the psalmist says, “They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; and You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.” Now a bubbling is happening as the Lord reminds me we have access to abundance and rivers of delight. First cracks now bubbling, something is moving, something is changing.

Verse 9 “For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.” Life and light are revelation of truth and truth is freedom. It is a journey we are walking right now, cracks, bubbling and now truth, it is about to break, I can sense it, I can see it, I am prophesying it, You are light, You are life! Whatever was heavy is now light; whatever was weighty is now wafting away. Then the dam of resistance breaks wide open with the truth of verse 11 “Let not the foot of pride come upon me and let not the hand of wickedness drive me away.” That’s it, pride is anything to do with self, it seeks to come upon us, so we do things in our own strength, our own way. Let it not come upon me. What a prayer. What a decree. And let not wickedness drive me away, there is no retreat, no matter how wicked people act. Once that truth broke open the atmospheric issue left.

The word of God is the answer to every question we have. The voice of God as heard in the word of God, changes atmospheres as we seek Him. We are not under the foot of the enemy and his ideas of how to do things, and we are not going to retreat, no matter what wickedness he makes up. We will feast on the abundance of God’s, drink from His rivers of delight, and we will know truth that will set us and others free. This my friends is the truth that sets us free.

Time Capsule Promises

The clock, the calendar, the seasons, do not detour the promises of God on your life. Time is your ally not your enemy. Knowing this truth is imperative as you wait fo the promises of God over your life to come to pass. Never forgetting the truth that time is your ally and not your enemy is the weapon you need to ward off the enemy for the devil loves to speak about your age, how long you have been waiting, or he even uses seasons and holidays to make your heart sick. He uses these things to get you to stop waiting, stop believing, stop trusting in what God promised you. The enemy does this, for he knows your faith in what God said tortures him. The waiting is actually doing more damage to the kingdom of darkness than any of us realize, for our waiting is communicating God is trustworthy, God is a promise keeper, God is faithful, God is good!

Now that we know what is happening to the enemy while we wait, what is happening to our promise. Our promise is in a time capsule that has been stamped with a date that is invisible to us, but visible to God. If you have ever seen a time capsule, they are stamped with a date that the capsule cannot be opened until that date. The contents inside the capsule are unknown until the date stamped on it arrives. I have been sensing for a few days now, that the Lord has date stamped our promises in a time capsule. They are there, but cannot be opened, actualized, until the stamped date.

Think of the many men and women of God in scripture who were given a promise, were attacked by the enemy with time, and who saw the fulfillment of the the promise. Abraham/Sarah; Hannah; Gideon; Israel; Peter; Paul; and yes even Jesus. Hebrews 11 has names I have not listed and even says, some died not seeing their promise fulfilled, for they were to have it fulfilled with us. What? Yes, the invisible date only God knows, but when He opens it, we will rejoice greatly in the promise God fulfilled. Even when we don’t see it, He’s working, He never stops working. Time is your ally not your enemy.

Stay In Your Lane

The greatest gift you can give to yourself is to stay in your lane. If this phrase is new to you, the idea of staying in your lane is not trying to be someone else, but remaining true to who God has called you to be. To stay in your lane is to remove any competition; any need to be involved in something that is not for you; it is a singleness of focus that produces great results. If you think of stay in your lane as a race track, you realize when people, cars or even horses get out of their lane, they get tangled up with whatever is in another lane. The safest place to be is in your lane.

Proverbs 4:18-19 speaks to every person, saying there are two lanes, once you know your lane stay in it, no matter what you may hear or see in the other lane. Listen to how Solomon describes the two lanes, “The lovers of God walk on the highway of light, and their way shines brighter and brighter until they bring forth the perfect day. But the wicked walk in thick darkness, like those who travel in fog, and yet don’t have a clue why they keep stumbling” (The Passion Translation).

We are in a two lane race, Paul even said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). The two lanes are light that is bright and keeps on getting brighter or darkness which keeps on getting darker. The challenge we face is staying in our lane. The enemy wants to tell you to look at how dark it is, but that is only in his lane. The lane the lovers of God are in, is getting brighter every day. Don’t doubt for a minute that things are getting darker, they are not if you are a lover of God, but you must stay in your lane. The word is a lamp unto our feet a light unto our path (Ps. 119); Jesus is the light of the world (John 9); in the beginning God created light (Genesis 1). Our lane is light that keeps on getting brighter. Stay in your lane and you will not be shaken by the darkness, because you are in the kingdom of light!

Waiting For Obedience

Creation is waiting for us because creation is in obedience to the word of God. Creation does not argue with nor rebel against God. Creation hears the word of the Lord and obeys without question. Psalm 33:8-9 says, “Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” Creation is modeling for us what obedience looks like and what obedience produces. Jesus said it this way, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them… Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin” (Matthew 6:26, 28). Obedience to God produces rest.

Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” Creation is waiting for us, for people, for believers, to obey God. Our manifestation as sons of God is our obedience to the voice and word of God. When we the people of God obey the word and voice of God, creation will rejoice with us, for creation is already in obedience to God. Everything we are wanting as a generation is available to us, but we must obey the voice and word of God for it to manifest. There are no shortcuts.

The reason believers do not obey God is twofold. One they do not see God as an authority they are to obey, or they are in rebellion to His authority; two they do not know God. Many people have said a prayer, but do not know God. For if you knew Him you would gladly obey Him. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Lawlessness is disobedience to the voice and word of God. My friends, obedience to God is the manifestion of the kingdom of God on earth. Our obedience to His voice and His word is what we are waiting for.

What’s Your Approval Rating?

The Apostle Paul addresses an issue in his letter to the Corinthians that is very rarely discussed in the church, but is critical for us to really think about. The reason it is so often not an important subject, is because there is a corporate belief it is a non-issue among us, but I would propose it is more prevalent that most are willing to admit. Paul says, “For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise… For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.” We have heard of self-condemnation, but what we rarely here about, yet see often is self-commendation.

It does not take very many minutes having the television on before you hear on a talk show, reality show or even game show someone commending themself for what they have done, what they are doing, or who they are. Self-commendation is prevelant in the world and unfortunately in the church. Titles are free in many churches, so free they make up new titles to try and distinguish themselves from the “typical” titles. It does not stop with titles, it goes on to accomplishments, possibly the most hard to swallow is the self-commendation of souls won, baptisms done, miracles performed or number of people in attendance on a Sunday morning or Saturday night conference or concert. All signs of self-commendation. Paul says, “He who boast is to boast in the Lord” (2 Corinthians 10:17).

The question the Lord asked me while reading 2 Corinthians 10 today is “How many people are looking for a high approval rating from other people, but have no idea what their approval rating is with Me?” This question caused me to pause, ponder and wonder, what approval rating is God giving us? How pleased is He with how we live our lives, how we love our neighbors, how we make our choices, what we do with our time, and how we obey His word? What, honestly, is our approval rating with God? It is probably not as high as most of us unconsciously would like to believe. The approval rating of men is inconsequential if we have a low approval rating with God. It is time to seek the Lord, adjust our lives and align ourselves with His word, so our approval rating can rise based on God’s standard.

How Your Dressed Matters

Religion allows the works of the flesh in church and does not challenge them rather tolerates them. This is why religion and politics are of the same spirit because they accept the works of the flesh as normal. However, the kingdom of God, which is the government of God, does not allow the works of the flesh. If we are to enter/inherit the kingdom of God we must put off the works of the flesh and put on faith, obedience and the fruit of the spirit. Without being dressed right you won’t enter the kingdom of God here on earth or in heaven.

Paul said the works of the flesh are obvious, adultry, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outburst of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like (Galatians 5:19-21). If you are dressed in any of these things you will not enter nor inherit the kingdom of God, the government of God. You may go to a church, you may be involved in religious activities, but you will not enter the kingdom of God, until you put off those garments and get dressed in the correct clothing. No exceptions.

Bible Ask says, “In the ancient oriental Marriage feasts, the special wedding garments were provided by the king himself. A feast filled with properly dressed guests would be an honor to the king and to the Marriage. So, a person who was not dressed properly would bring dishonor upon the host and ruin the happy occasion. The wedding garment represents the righteousness of Christ. So, rejecting the garment represents the rejection of character that qualify men to become children of God.”

Jesus spoke of this in a parable as stated in Matthew 22:11-14 “When the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen.” You must be dressed right to enter the kingdom of God.

We are going to see a manifestation of flesh of the likes we have not seen possibly ever in our generation as the kingdom of God invades earth with a decree and manifestation of Babylon has fallen. Religion and politics is going to exemplify the works of the flesh, but those who are of the kingdom of God are going to shine like stars. The demarcation will be obvious and who is religious/political will be obvious from those who are kingdom. But when the dust settles, the kingdom will still be advancing and many will come out of her (Babylon) and want to know how to come in to the kingdom of God! People are about to put on new garments!

Strike the Match

I was having lunch with a new friend a couple of weeks ago and she asked me why I think God is bringing so many people together here in Nashville. The question was pregnant with presence and many possible answers. Without thinking, my spirit answered her and said, I think it is because the Nashville area is God’s upper room. I had never said anything like that before, and I am not one to say things about one city over another, so my answer surprised me, but it was not of me even though it came from me.

Last week, Tuesday, in the middle of the night, I heard clearly, “Strike the match!” I sent the word to a few friends, for I was not clear what God was saying, so sat on that word as well. Now today, while praying Psalm 29, which is the Psalm God told me is for Hebrew Year 5782, this year, I read in verse 7 “The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.” Immediately, the Holy Spirit sends me to Acts 2 which says, “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.” Here we are back to the upper room which is where we started.

My friends, the flames of fire that appeared may have been something they saw, but it was definetly something they heard. The voice of God was seen in that room on Pentecost and we are about to see the voice of God again. God is striking the match and setting cities on fire with His word. Remember Jeremiah said, “Your word is like a fire shut up in my bones.” With the striking of the match the voice of the Lord is going to be made visible in a Pentecost kind of way. It is going to be suddenly, but His voice that is fire is not coming to destroy, but to purify, identify and magnify His name and His word. We are about to see the flaming sword of God’s word like we have never seen it before because the spirit of wisdom and revelation is going to crush the head of religion in the nations.

The Drought Is Over

Yesterday morning in prayer I had a vision of people who are dehydrated. I literally saw them in a shriveled up state in the spirit. Immediately after I saw this in the spirit, a bursting forth came from my spirt and I declared, “The drought is over!” I kept making this decree for it came from an ache deep within me for those who have shriveled up, for the vision was crystal clear. I sat on this vision and then this morning the Lord revealed to me what drought is actually over, that He was referencing as that decree came bursting out of me. THE DROUGHT OF JUSTICE IS OVER!

1 Kings 18:40-41 says, “Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there. Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.”” Baal worship was the reason for the drought in the land. Baal worship had to do with child sacrifice, idol worship and other Babylonian activities. The abundance of rain was the answer to the many injustices done to children in the land.

Amos 5:23-24 says it this way, “Take away from Me the noise of your songs,

For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.” Our songs do not carry the weight they should because Baal has not been dealt with in our land, this is why the people are shriveled up, dehydrated, but the drought is over. Justice is the rain that is coming down in abundance to judge the spirit of Baal in our land. Children have been the sacrifices made to this idol, but God has declared the drought is over and justice is going to roll down like water on this land starting this week. Keep your eyes pealed and your ears attentive, for I hear the sound of the abundance of rain of justice rolling down like the waters on this land this week. It’s time to sing and dance in the rain for THE DROUGHT OF JUSTICE IS OVER!!!

Air and Land Attack

I was invited, this morning, to a breakfast club. It is an under the radar movement of concerned citizens about the direction of our nation. We had one woman in attendance who got suspended without pay from her school in the area for producing a medical exemption about the mask mandate. She would not wear the mask, so they suspended her without pay, told her she was not to set foot on any of the counties school campuses until the investigation was over and she was cited for insubordination. The letter she received was scathing, because she did not wear a mask.

Another person just quit his job in corporate America to pursue full time the dissemination of information, for they believe knowledge is the only thing that breaks the mind control off of people. He went on to share how the squelching of the truth is a form of mind control.

One other woman is a sex trafficking survivor and she is obtaining a Masters Degree in Mental Health while pursuing passionately the release of women who are trapped in the sex trafficking lifestyle in her area. Her passion for these women, along with her husband, they are a force to be reckoned with as they relentlessly pursue the release of these women from this industry.

How I got to this meeting today is a following the footsteps of God story, for it was a last minute invite, with very little knowledge of what the meeting would be about. Upon arrival I am seated next to the lady who is the leader of this group. We are nestled into a board room type environment in an e-space that is extremely posh. There are 20 or so people sitting around the table and much conversation is happening about variety of subjects related the challenges we are facing in this nation. As I listened for over an hour and a half to the stories, the thoughts, the action steps they were taking, I waited for my chance to share the role I am playing in these challenging times. Being new I was not going to speak too soon.

The leader began to open it up for people to share who they are and as we went around the table, it finally came to me and I said my name and how I was new to the area. I was then asked what brought me to the area and I said, the Lord told me, “You are going to end up in Nashville, for that is where the prophets are gathering.” From this statement, more question were asked of me and I was able to share how I work the air the way they work the ground. I spoke about intercession and the need for the dismantling of the powers in the air, so they can advance with their ground game efforts. I explained how the kingdom of God is not a competition but rather we compliment each other. I deal with Ephesians 6 principalities, rulers and authorities and they deal with school boards, EEOC, and other areas of activism they are involved in.

I was shockingly surprised by the response I received. I was able to share the gospel fo the kingdom and how air and land attacks work in tandem to advance the kingdom of God on earth and set the captives free. What has in the past been a place of disconnection, was brought to an understanding of our need for one another as kingdom citizens working together on earth.

The leader turned to me and said, thank you so much for adding this into our discussion, this element is so necessary to what we are trying to do. She is getting her Master’s degree at a Christian University, so we had a kindred spirit conversation. She reiterated to the group the importance of the air warfare that I do as it pertains to what they are doing. I then ended with some good news about how much advancement in the spirit has happened and how God is winning on so many levels and the hope rose in the room significantly.

It was a morning I did not see coming, but was so glad I said yes to the invitation for kings and priests are joining forces to advance the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. They are no longer two separate and distinct entities, but rather kings and priests are partners in ministry. We had a kingdom meeting in that room this morning and my underground intercessors life merged with their underground rescue mission and the pleasure of God was evident in the unity that was palatable in the room. No competition for we are the body of Christ. Air and land attack is under way in a major way.

Inside Strong

We have all heard and experienced the fragility of our flesh. Someone says something hurtful to us and our flesh reacts. If our flesh is physically wounded it causes physical pain to us. Our flesh is weak in every way and yet we spend money, time, energy trying to make our weak flesh look good. We dress it up in designer clothes, we accessorize it with jewelry all for a temporal tent that we are going to put off one day. Did you know that your flesh, your temporal tent, is not eternal? We invest in that which is not going to last, not because we are ignorant, but because we love to portray an image.

I was cruising through Facebook last night looking at many family photos from a great time of food, family and friends gathering together. If you did not have family to gather with, these pictures can be heartbreaking as you long for family; if you were in those pictures, you loooked great and I smiled as I thought about the people I knew, what they meant to me and how grateful I am for you in my life. But seeing all the other people I did not know in those pictures and knowing how many people I did not know at my own Thanksgiving gathering yesterday, made me realize, we only know people by what we see in pictures, until we are around them and can hear what they say.

Earthy tents look good in pictures, but we as believers are not just earthly tents. We are people in whom God is wanting to build inside of us something that is lasting, eternal and strong. I call it being inside strong. Paul calls it a building not made by the hands of man. I pray as you contemplate who you want to be from this day forward, that you would make an investment, daily, to become inside strong. God’s word is building material that makes you inside strong, so when you take a hit by someone’s words, it doesn’t cause an emotional response, for God has made you inside strong. His word is always working on you on the inside, so read the word, pray and worship, they are all building blocks that make you inside strong. For our flesh is temporal, but our inner man is eternal and God wants to cloth you with strength.

2 Corinthians 5:1-3 “For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal. For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven– if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.”
