Three words have permeated our atmosphere over the past year, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! With a bloody face and a fierce look, these words have called a nation into a battle that had already been waged, a war that had already been won. They were words for waking up the sleeping, arousing those who lay in graves of despair. It was an invitation to take back a country that had been long occupied by internal and external enemies. 

People in survival mode love the idea of a fight. We know how to wage war, we know how to take back what has been stolen, so those words resonated with many who had become apathetic due to disappointment, cynical due to delay, and angry due to feeling helpless and powerless to change anything. Three words rallied a nation and the cry for justice is being heard in the land. 

To hear the voice of God, who dwells in a tabernacle not on earth, who speaks from a throne not made by man, who has resources beyond comprehension, to hear the Lord of heaven and earth and to respond to His voice is the call of the church. To echo what He is saying is what we are called to do, even when it is not what the leaders on earth are saying and doing, at least not what is being magnified by the media. 

The decree of heaven is not fight, fight, fight, the decree of heaven is build, build, build. This decree is hard for many to hear, for they love the fight, they love the war, they make millions on the battle, but the Lord of heaven and earth is not in a fight, He is not inviting us into a war, He is calling us to build. 

In the words of the prophet Isaiah we hear, “And it shall be said, Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people’s way.”

God is looking for builders not fighters. The call has gone out for those who want to build the kingdom of God on earth; who want to build a highway for our God. He is asking, where are my builders? 

Ephesians 4:29 says, do not let any unwholesome words come out of your mouth, but only that which is for the building up of other people. It is Ephesians 4:29 and Isaiah 54:17 time on earth as it is in heaven. Are you willing to accept the call to build, because this is the next phase of the kingdom of God on earth.

Noise is artificial significance.
Noise gives the promise of safety, but it never delivers it.
Noise feels like the presence but lacks the person.
Noise fills the gaps where silence wants to penetrate.

Silence is a gift that is often forfeited out of fear of what we willl hear.
Silence is misunderstood because of the noise in our own heads.
Silence is powerful and penetrates the deep places of our lives.
Silence is truth that sets us free if only we will submit to it.

Psalm 62 says, “My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.”

How much truth do we forfeit because we love the noise of scrolling over the silence of reading God’s word?

How many hours do we waste trying to figure it out on our own, rather than waiting in the silence for the all knowing God to speak?

How much money do we spend trying to meet a need created by all the noise in our head, because we can’t handle the stillness called rest?

When we wait silently for God alone (selah) we find Him to be the very person we need, the very answer to our question, the very revealer of the lies lodged deep in our heart. We find His still small voice speaking words that will set us free, giving us commands that will get us out of our mess, and offering us solutions to problems we ourselves created.

Most people are troubled by noise, both outside of them and inside of them, but God is not noise, He is silence and His silence speaks, His silence reveals, His silence heals, His silence is a frequency that only He can emit in order to transform us, if only we would surrender to the silence.

One of the greatest injustices in the church right now is expecting to be forgiven, but not forgiving others. The deception is deep, for most people believe they have forgiven others, but actually their lives reveal they haven’t. Unforgiveness is hard to detect in ourselves, because we believe we are free because we have been forgiven, not realizing we are stuck because we haven’t forgiven.

I was walking the dog this morning and the Lord said, “Marrow level forgiveness and healing.” I was shocked by this, for marrow is not a word I use. I know Hebrews 4:12 says, “The word of God is sharper than a double edge sword, separating even bone and marrow.” But honestly, I did not know what that meant.

This morning when the Lord made it clear he wants forgiveness on the marrow level, it caused me to look up what is marrow. Here is what I learned thanks to ChatGPT. Marrow is the hidden life source; producing blood; life factory; life source of the soul; life producing tissue, hidden deep in the bones.

The Lord wants marrow level forgiveness and healing in His people. This is not saying the words I forgive you, this is allowing the Lord to penetrate deep into the hidden places inside of you, so you can forgive. Jesus said, “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.” (Matthew 6:13-14)

As we enter into this new age of restitution, it begins with us forgiving on a marrow level those who have hurt us, for only in our forgiving of them on that level are we forgiven and healed. The healing God is releasing is not surface level, it is going to the life source level called marrow and it starts with forgiveness. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

I was talking to a friend this morning and as we chatted and caught up on life, a phrase came out of my mouth and the Lord said, “this is what my people need to hear”. Here is what was said, “We have to let go to lay hold!”

Jesus said, “If you lose your life you will find it, but if you save your life you will lose it.” This has a Dr. Seuss riddle vibe to it, but since it was Jesus it is wrapped in so much truth it will take us time to unpack the depth of its meaning.

We as people are so riddled with fear, the idea of letting go of anything, let alone of our life, is not desirable at all. The root issue is fear, and fear blinds us to the promise of letting go of our lives. Until we are willing to let go of our lives, we will never lay hold of the life God has for us.

Christians will say they have let go of their life, but if the stock market crashes, if a war breaks out, if a doctors report is bad, if a child goes haywire, if a relationship ends, they live as though the sky is falling. This is because we have been baptized in a gospel of fear and not one of faith.

The life the Lord is inviting us to let go of is a life of fear, of control, of survival mode, of pride, but we can’t let go because we are so fearful. The root of fear is pride and pride is a stronghold that is hard to break loose from.

Jesus is inviting us to let go of our life so we can lay hold of His life. You can’t live a double life and call it Christianity, at least not biblically. The kingdom of God is at hand and the first order of business for the church and Christians is to let go of their life, which is rooted in pride and fear, in order to lay hold of the kingdom life that is rooted in faith, hope and love.

Friends it is long past time we let go, because the time is upon us where we are being invited to lay hold. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Do you know the reason why we need an awakening? Do you understand how powerful a spirit of wisdom and revelation is going to be for us? Have you ever realized how the gift of seeing is needed for us to function by design? God is not trying to expose us, shame us, or condemn us, He is trying to awaken us. In our awakening will be the shaking, because what we have been told, taught and trained in has not been the truth.

The awakening will be humbling, because we will realize we do not know as much as we thought we do. It will be challenging because we are going to need to repent of old belief systems in order to embrace the truth that will set us free. But we need an awakening, for only in an awakening will marriages be restored, friendships be reconciled, cities be rebuilt, nations will cease fire. All because of an awakening that is God’s idea.

Proverbs 29:18 (MSG) says, “If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.”

The awakening is not to make us more knowledgeable only, but to make us aware of truth, so we can walk in freedom. Illumination is going to lighten our load and give light to our path. Everything changed in Genesis 1 when God said, let there be light and the same is about to happen to us.

When the awakening is realized by many not just a few, it will be the light shining in the darkness and the darkness not being able to comprehend the light. Some will run for cover for their deeds are evil, but most will go out in the streets and dance, sing, shout and even cry, for they will finally be set free.

The work will begin when the light comes on. The building will accelerate, because when you can see you can work. We were made for production, and we are about to see the production of good works for the glory of God. Bring on the awakening, bring on the declaration from heaven, let there be light. Bring on the truth that sets us free. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

There is a lot of discussion now a days about the multiple calendars the world has known and how can we really know what day it is, what time it is. I have heard of at least four maybe six calendars. So I asked the Lord, what calendar do you want me to know about and He said, “The sun, the moon and the stars are made for signs and for seasons, this is the calendar that matters.” Discussion settled for me.

Today, I am reading Genesis 8 and it says in verses 13-14 “In the six-hundred-first year of Noah’s life, on the first day of the first month, the flood had dried up. Noah opened the hatch of the ship and saw dry ground. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the Earth was completely dry.”

I am reading this and the Lord says, “Mark your calendar for significant dates as they happen, for they will serve as reminders of what I did on that day.” When we write down dates it reminds of certain events. We mark down birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and even hard days like divorce days or death days. Dates matter to us and they matter to God.

Keeping a calendar of significant activities God did on certain days is common in scripture, but I sense God is going to have us keep a calendar of specific activities that happen between us and the Lord. This will serve as a reminder to us of what God did on that day.

And it is important that we understand God’s signs and seasons based on how the heavens are declaring the glory of God, the firmament the work of His hands. Keep your eyes open and your pens ready, dates are going to be significant for many reasons in this new season. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

On August 19, 2025 I heard the numbers 37058 in the spirit while I was asleep. I heard those numbers multiple times through the night, so when I woke up, I looked them up. Those numbers are the zip code for Dover, TN, the place where four generals met and the civil war and all wars changed forever. It is called the place of Unconditional Surrender.

This information activated my next prophetic adventure, but the Lord had a couple more stops on the way to this location. One of those stops was related to Montgomery Bell, so we went to the national park named after him and the theme of iron and furnaces came into view for us.

Montgomery Bell was Tennessees Iron Man, he was TN’s first industrial capitalist and was crazy wealthy. He owned slaves and they worked in unbearable conditions with furnaces making iron. In addition this man, built the first man-made tunnel in all of the United States. Finding this tunnel was worth the treasure hunt.

The tunnel is located the Narrows of the Harpeth state park, which is where the Harpeth River looks Iike the middle of an hourglass. We left Bell’s state park and headed to the Narrows state park, and after a short hike found the man-made tunnel. Once there the Lord spoke to us saying, “The river that leads into the heart of TN needs a stint put in it because the arteries of its heart have narrowed.” We decreed a stint be put in the heart of TN.

Now that the narrowing has been widened we headed to Dover, TN. I cannot find the words to explain what we sensed in the atmosphere while in this location, where two generals, who once were friends then became foes and ended as friends after the war, met and made a decree. It is said in that place is where they guarded the heart of Tennessee, right on the Cumberland River.

At this place called the Dover Hotel, which is also called the Surrender House we learned of how the war was turned with this Unconditional Surrender agreement and how the war went from visicious and could have resulted in more death to mercy and reconciliation. It was a life changing experience for them then and for us.

We stood at that hotel, which was the guard post for the heart of Tennessee and we decreed mercy and reconciliation to come to and out of the heart of TN to the United States of America. We decreed the church would unconditionally surrender to the Lord in our nation. We made the decree and now we will see a nation unconditionally surrender to the Lord.

It was an incredible day trip to Dover, TN (37058), declaring healing all day long over the state of TN and the nation of the United States. The mystery is in the history. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

How often do you step back, look around, listen and not talk in order to assess what is happening in the field in which God has called you and gifted you to operate in? Sometimes, we can be so close to something that we cannot see it any longer for what it really is. Evaluation of situations is always a good thing, stepping back for a season or a moment is healthy.

I have watched the church from a far for a long time now. I have not been in any leadership role of a local church since 2013 and in this past 12 years of watching from the outside, I have learned somethings that have given pause and caused me to pray.

Jesus said the church is to be the place where the gates of hell cannot prevail (Matthew 16:18); but what are the gates of hell? If we do not know what they are it will hinder our ability to not let them prevail over us.

The gates of hell are many things but one of their major roles is to release a narrative in a nation. Even if you are locked behind gates, you can still have a voice that affects a nation through the narrative you speak. The narrative of hell is never life giving, hope filled or transformative in nature. The narrative of the gates of hell is death, destruction and disease.

Church, what narrative are we echoing in our heads, in our families, in our friendships, in our communities, in our cities, in our churches, in our nations? When we echo a narrative of death, violence and destruction we will be suspicious of peace, life, reconciliation and prosperity.

The gospel is good news, it is healing, it is joy, it is peace. Why are we afraid of what we are seeing with peace talks between nations? Why do we assume it means it is the rise of the anti-Christ and not the advancing of the kingdom of God on earth?

We as the church have been hearing the narrative of the gates of hell, so we have missed the narrative of the gates of glory (Psalm 24). Both narratives sound similar, because both gates promise peace and prosperity, but if you are suspicious and are expecting an Ezekiel 38 war you will miss the kingdom of God on earth Matthew 6 prayer being answered.

The word of God is a rich treasure hunt that yields jewels of truth for those who are seekers. Proverbs 25 says, it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, the glory of kings to search it out. In the Message translation they use the word scientists in place of kings and the Holy Spirit whispered to me “archeologists could be another word for kings in this passage.”

Being one who loves to dig into the word of God and find the treasures it holds, the Lord always reveals truth that brings joy. Today I was reading the book of Judges and in Judges 4 it speaks of Deborah, a prophetess and judge of Israel. The story goes on to speak of another woman named Jael, who drives a tent peg through the commander of the enemy armies head.

The Holy Spirit highlighted Deborah’s name, which means Bee or Honey and then highlighted Jael and how she served the commander of the enemies army milk when he asked for water. The Holy Spirit showed me that these two women in these few verses in Judges 4 speak of the land of milk and honey.

Jael representing the milk and Deborah representing the honey. It’s not about gender, but it sure is fun to see these two women who were used to defeat an enemy of Israel in battle, with unconventional weapons like milk and honey or as the story goes a tent peg, which is the vav in Hebrew and is connected to the Messiah.

The word of God is always unveiling truths in stories we have heard so many times, but new revelations are coming forth. To think of Jael and Deborah as milk and honey and the tent peg as the Messiah, adds value to the promised land of milk and honey being our inheritance in the Messiah. Friends, these are not just stories, these are prophetic declarations of truths that point to Yeshua our Messiah, who is our promised land of milk and honey!!!!

He still uses unconventional weapons to defeat the enemy and opens our eyes to His activity in milk and honey. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

What is the fascination with the demonic realm, demons and any activity of the enemy from Christians? Why are we so afraid of this realm? What provokes us to mention it so often and to assume it has power? I struggle with people who know more about what the enemy is doing than what God is doing? The reason being, because the enemy was defeated with three words from Jesus, IT IS FINISHED!

I was reading Daniel 2 this morning an it offered more insight into the realm of the enemy and just gave me more reason why it is not worth even discussing or mentioning. Listen to the leaders of witchcraft in King Nebuchadnezzar’s court when they were asked to tell the king his dream and interpret it.

“The fortunetellers said, “Nobody anywhere can do what you ask. And no king, great or small, has ever demanded anything like this from any magician, enchanter, or fortuneteller. What you’re asking is impossible unless some god or goddess should reveal it—and they don’t hang around with people like us.” (MSG)

They realize they have no access to a god who speaks, shares secrets or even lets them in on simple things, let along a god who hangs out with them. The slavery in the demonic is so obvious to those in it. I love reading what the enemy knows but we don’t so I can peer into his camp through verses like this and then realize how amazing Yahweh is.

Yahweh, Yeshua, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are a speaking trinity, a relational Godhead and a voice that sounds like many rushing waters and is powerful according to Psalm 29. Daniel proves that His God knows everything and shares what He knows with His people. There is no one like our God, He is so worthy of all our conversations, all our worship and all our lives. Look at Him, He is so attention grabbing nothing else compares to Him. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
