One of the primary tactics of the enemy is to either use your mouth or shut your mouth. The mouth is the primary vessel the enemy uses against God’s people.

When I lived in Malaysia for nine years, the enemy silenced me, he literally put his hand over my mouth and made me believe I was dying. Some circumstances arose that sought to confirm I was dying, but they proved to be lying signs and wonders.

The enemy has put his hand over many a people’s mouth, but God says, you are not dead, you are not breathless, you are fully alive. While the enemy is covering your mouth, the Lord is laying on top of you, eye to eye, mouth to mouth and hand to hand. Your body is warm, but you have not begun to breath on your own yet.

2 Kings 4 speaks of Elisha the prophet and this is what it says, “When Elisha came into the house, he saw the child lying dead on his bed. So he went in and shut the door behind the two of them and prayed to the LORD. Then he went up and lay on the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as he stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child became warm. Then he got up again and walked once back and forth in the house, and went up and stretched himself upon him. The child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.”

The Lord is saying to you today, your body is warm, but your mouth is still shut by the enemy so you are about sneeze, sneeze and sneeze again. Sneeze means violently forcing air out through the nasal passage while the cavity of the mouth is shut off. I am telling you, the enemy has his hand over your mouth, but God is laying on you and you are about to sneeze and every virus in you is coming out of you in Jesus name. Sneeze friends sneeze, there is breath inside of you!!!!

What are we missing? What is the secret ingredient that makes it all come together? What is that one thing that binds, holds, humbles, calibrates, exposes, and gives us that which we are missing? Jesus told us the one thing we are missing is love. He said everything can be summed up in two commandments, love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself. Is it any wonder this is the one thing we are missing in our homes, our churches, our friendships, our ministries, our companies, our cities, our countries?

The enemy could care less how much money you have or don’t have. He is not interested in how much you pray and how good you preach. He is not even moved by your gift, your calling, your destiny, your dreams, your desires or your ideas. There is one goal of the enemy and that is to cause your love to grow cold. His goal is to give you reasons to not give nor receive love.

1 Corinthians 13 says, if you have all these other things, but have not love, you are nothing. Love is the only goal and if you are a lover, all these things you desire will be added to you. The challenge is we do not evaluate ourselves to see if we are speaking in love, acting in love, or if our motive is love.

We take a lot of tests, to know who we are, but if we don’t take the love test, it doesn’t matter how talented, gifted or skilled you are. If you have not love, you are nothing. Let’s take the test…”Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. Love never dies.” (1 Cor. 13)

This is not about marriage but about every relationship. Are you a lover? Only you and God know if you pass the test, but if you don’t it is time to return to your first love ❤️.

The nations are the legacy of Jesus (Psalm 2), we must come into alignment with God’s assignment for the nations. A friend said to me the other day, “Opinions can become the seed bed of deception.” Friends there are so many opinions about what is happening right now and honestly, our opinions are formed and fashioned by what we have been taught, heard or studied. God is not being moved by our opinions, He is moving in the nations.

Our invitation is to come into alignment with God’s assignment for the nations. We may not understand or ever agree, but if we want to not miss the hour of our visitation, we need to be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10).

While in prayer this morning, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Josiah’s reforms are happening in America. America needs reformation because of the deformation and the defamation that has taken place.” Josiah’s reforms are found in 2 Chronicles 34; deformation means an alteration of form for the worst; and defamation means an act of injuring another’s reputation by any slanderous communication either written or oral.

I said, wow, yes Lord, we need a reformation because of our deformation and defamation as a nation. God is bring a reformation to our nation and the nations. We are seeing this happening swiftly with the stroke of a pen, similar to what Josiah did in 2 Chronicles 34 “He began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images. And they chopped down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and he cut down the incense altars that stood above them. And he broke in pieces the Asherim and the carved and the metal images, and he made dust of them and scattered it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.”

We need this reformation in order to heal our deformation and for us to be forgiven of our defamation. Thank you Lord for the reformation you are bringing our nation. I want to be alignment with your assignment.

Have you ever thought about who we are as people? Have you ever noticed we pray for deliverance and then when it comes we don’t believe it? Have you ever asked yourself why you are so suspicious of the deliverer God is using to rescue you? The irony of it all is that we are exactly like Israel of old.

Exodus 3 says, “Then the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

Israel prayed from Egypt to be delivered from their oppressors, God comes down in a burning bush, speaks to Moses to become their deliverer for God and the people don’t want Moses to deliver them. But thanks be to God, that Moses didn’t care if the people wanted him to deliver them, God wanted Moses to deliver them and so they were going to be delivered from their taskmasters.

Exodus 3 says it this way, “And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me (Yahweh), and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you (Moses) to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

Thank God He hears our cry, answers our prayer and doesn’t let us ruin the deliverance we prayed for because we don’t recognize the day of our visitation. Friends, I love you, but we are being delivered from an enemy we have prayed to be delivered from and honestly it doesn’t matter if you like who God chose to deliver us or not. We are being delivered because God has heard our prayers and I am thankful. Bye bye Egypt!

The people of God are both Jew and Gentile, they are one new man in Christ Jesus. This one new man is called the bride of Christ, she is who He is coming to earth for. She is who will reign with Him on earth as in heaven. This is a mystery of which we have not begun to understand the depths of, but even on the surface, her call to be a wife is undeniable. He is the bridegroom and we are His wife.

Proverbs 31:10-12 we must recognize this is not one woman, but the one new man, the bride of Christ. “Who could ever find a wife like this one— she is a woman of strength and mighty valor! She’s full of wealth and wisdom. The price paid for her was greater than many jewels. Her husband has entrusted his heart to her, for she brings him the rich spoils of victory. All throughout her life she brings him what is good and not evil.”

This morning in prayer the Lord spoke to me the words, “Propelled into prosperity”. Propeller’s are found on both boats and aircraft. They release a thrust horizontally both through water and air. (When wind meets water is a word God gave me back in November).

Isaac Newton’s Law of Motion opened up understanding which led to the building of the propeller. It is said that when pressure is high the speed is slow, but when pressure is low the speed is high. Selah. When I read that, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “There is an acceleration happening because there is a low pressure system coming into the earth realm”.

When we are under intense or high levels of pressure it actually slows us down, but when we are in low pressure situations it speeds us up. Acceleration is here and coming, because of the low pressure system the kingdom of God has released to earth.

Many have been under high pressure, but I declare to you, low pressure is here and coming and you will accelerate in areas that have been slowed by the high pressure situations you have been in. The Lord says, “We are being propelled into prosperity.” We as His bride are going to bring him the spoils of victory!!!

The sun has cracked the horizon and the darkness must give way to light. Once the sun begins to run its course there is no stopping its penetrating light. The Lord has pierced the darkness yet again and just like Israel of old we are seeing a great light.

Isaiah prophesied it long ago and Jesus fulfilled that prophecy, but what if the same prophecy of Isaiah is coming true again and Christ in us the hope of glory is breaking through. “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.” (Isaiah 9:2-3)

The way to wake people up is not to berate them for what they don’t know or to scold them for not recognizing the truth. The way to wake them up is to gift them with generosity. This awakens them in a way only God can. Proverbs 25:21-22 “Is your enemy hungry? Buy him lunch. Win him over with your kindness. Your surprising generosity will awaken his conscience and God will reward you with favor.”

God is waking people up by being generous not by being angry or stingy. Our generous love, grace, mercy, compassion and truth will awaken hearts that have been sleeping. Our gentle answer will turn away their wrath and awaken their soul.

The Son has arisen with healing in His wings and the nations are seeing the breaking of a new day and the church must learn a new way. Everyday we are to speak life, release joy, and pour hope into hurting, hungry, angry, cold, bitter hearts. The generosity of God is awakening the hearts of humanity.

We made it to our fifth stop on our Isaiah 25 for the year 2025 roadmap. We started with praise, we saw Babylon fall, we heard the response of the nations, we came to the mountain of the Lord and now we shout victory.

Isaiah 25:9 says, “In that day they will say, “Behold! This is our God! We’ve waited for him, and he saved us! This one, the Lord Yahweh—he is worth the wait! We will keep shouting with joy as we find our bliss in his salvation-kiss!”

Psalm 47:1-3 says, “Go ahead and celebrate! Come on and clap your hands, everyone! Shout to God with the raucous sounds of joy! The Lord God Most High is astonishing, awesome beyond words! He’s the formidable and powerful King over all the earth. He’s the one who conquered the nations before us and placed them all under our feet. He’s marked out our inheritance ahead of time, putting us in the front of the line.”

The days of timidity and silence are over, the days of shouting and celebrating are here. It is time to shake off the dust of the last season and step into the new season. We are not to be silent, nor silenced. When you lose your voice, you lose more than you realize, and God is giving us our voice back.

We waited for the Lord and He, yet again showed Himself faithful. He said He would do it and He is doing it. Can you hear the direction of the wind change? Can you see the salvation of the nation happening? Can you sense the shift in the atmosphere? Can you hear the sound of salvation and victory? It is time to lift up your eyes, clap your hands and shout unto God with a voice of triumph for He has done great things for us!!!!

Are you ready for stop number four on our Isaiah 25 map for 2025? 

I have always been a lover of the word of God. People may lie to us, but the word of God is always telling the truth, even truth that can be at times hard to hear. I remember when I first got saved, I learned very quickly, that when my life did not align with the word of God, I was the one who was out of alignment not the word. 

People try to make the word of God fit their opinions, idealogies, or even lifestyles, but the word is the truth and it will not bend, break or submit to us, for it is an eternal word, that has been tested over and over again. The word of God is truth, we are out of alignment, not the word. When we allow the word to course correct us, we find ourselves operating by design. 

Stop four on our map of Isaiah 25 brings us to the mountain of the Lord. On this mountain many things are happening. Mountains in scripture represent government, so the mountain of the Lord is the government of God. Isaiah reveals to us what God’s government looks like. 

Isaiah 25:6-10 “The Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, will host a rich feast on this mountain for all peoples— a feast with plenty of meat and well-aged wine, with an abundance of food and the finest of wine. And on this mountain, he will destroy the shroud wrapped around all the people, the veil spread over all nations. It is the gloom of death! He will swallow it up in victory forever! And God, Lord Yahweh, will wipe away every tear from every face. He will remove every trace of disgrace that his people have suffered throughout the world, for the Lord Yahweh has promised it! In that day they will say, “Behold! This is our God! We’ve waited for him, and he saved us! This one, the Lord Yahweh—he is worth the wait! We will keep shouting with joy as we find our bliss in his salvation-kiss!” The mighty, gracious hand of the Lord Yahweh will rest upon this mountain.” 

The temptation to make this a future or heavenly reality is what most do, but I would propose to you, Jesus told us to occupy until He comes, not go to the sweet by and by. This mountain stop will become a reality on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6, the Lord’s Prayer). This government of God gets built inside of us and then gets built around us. When you are operating from the mountain of the Lord, there is a joy you can’t explain, a peace that is palpable and a love that is undeniable. 

Welcome to the mountain of the Lord, this is our fourth stop. 

For you that are on the Isaiah 25 roadmap with me for 2025, thanks for enjoying the journey. We are still in January and can already see, the first three stops in operation. I always stand amazed at the Holy Spirit and how truth in spoken into now time.

Stop one on our journey was praise. I am learning that praise is always the right response to God, when you see, hear and know what He is doing in your personally, in us corporately and in the world nationally. We will always have a reason to praise the name of the Lord.

Second stop is Babylon is falling, not will fall, is present active falling. This enforces our praise, for we are being set free from a governmental structure of control that has kept the nations in bondage.

Third stop is the response of the nations to the fall of Babylon. The Passion Translation says, “Therefore, superpower nations will glorify you and the cities of terrorist nations will revere you. You alone silence the song of tyrants.” (Isaiah 25:3,5).

Can you feel the shift in the atmosphere from tyrants to truth, from rebels to righteousness? We think we know who a leader of a nation is based on what the news tells us about them. We build an idea in our head, that forms our opinions of people we have never met. What if they are not who you think they are? What if they are for righteousness, peace and joy, which is the kingdom of God and not against it?

When the disciples saw someone not of their group casting out demons, they told Jesus about it and Jesus said, “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” (Mark 9:50) Friends there are nations for the Lord in ways we do not even understand. We must not think we know too much for the nations are responding to Babylon falling and they are one stop on the Isaiah 25 roadmap.

While in prayer yesterday the Holy Spirit showed me the Isaiah 25 for 2025 road map. This was a new experience for me, but as I leaned into the Lord and as I hear the headlines in the news, I know this is what God is doing right now.

People can be political and it causes the worst in us to come out; it creates divisions; and it causes us to look foolish to unbelievers. But the Bible is a unifier not a divider if we let it do the talking and we do the listening.

If we are the body and Jesus Christ is the head, we should all have the mind of Christ and He has singleness of mind, not duplicity. He is the way, the truth and the life, He is the only one who said that and is that and we need to remember that.

Our first stop in Isaiah 25 was praise, we talked about this yesterday, now today, our second stop is Babylon is falling. Verse 2 says, “The city that was once mighty you’ve turned into a heap of rubble; the fortified city now lies in ruins. The foreigner’s fortress is no more and will never be rebuilt.”

Once Babylon falls, it will be not be built again. It is in the process of falling right now and people are running helter skelter because they know what they did while under the spell of this city.

The fall of Babylon is a system of control, a corrupt governmental structure ruling the nations. Revelation 18 describes its activities very clearly. What is new to us, for we have only been on earth less than 100 years, is not new to the nations or to God, He is eternal and has seen it all so is not surprised.

Babylon is falling, this is the second stop on our road map called Isaiah 25 in 2025. We are not leaving stops behind, we are adding stops to what is already and will continue to happen.

The fall of Babylon is reason for praise. “How horrible, so horrible, O great city Babylon! For in one moment you suffered such destruction— you who once made the merchants on the sea so very wealthy. Rejoice over her, O heaven You apostles and prophets and holy believers, rejoice! For on your behalf God pronounced the judgment against her that she wanted to bring upon you!” (Revelation 18:19-20).
