Now is the time the Lord Jesus is calling His people to attention so that they may stand strong against the enemy for he is coming in like a flood to try to wear them down physically and to rob them of joy which is their strength. They battle discouragement and even fatigue, but most are standing on the Word with head set like flint against the enemy to not back down. They are pressing in standing on the promises of God and even though they have reason to waver in faith because of natural circumstance they choose to trust the Lord.
I was remembering a time when my husband and I were praying over friends who had been in a situation for many years that had caused deep trauma to their souls. As we were praying for them, I became aware of an angel standing over them holding a large water pitcher. This angel then began to pour a heavenly liquid over their heads. I was taken by surprise because I had encountered this very angel some years earlier. It had appeared while I was with a dear friend who had experienced a traumatic loss in her life. It appeared with the same pitcher and was pouring a liquid substance over her as well.
Do you have promises from God that you are believing for that have not yet come to pass? As daughters and sons of the Most-High King, we stand in faith on what the Word of God says and the individual promises He has spoken over each one of our lives. Standing in faith isn't always easy, so I want to encourage you today from a specific passage in Scripture. In the Book of Joshua, right after Caleb and Joshua explored the land that God had promised them, they quickly started to face backlash from the Israelites.
The Lord has been speaking to me for quite a few years now about a major wave of deliverance coming to the body of Christ like we have never seen before. I believe we have now entered that time, where the Lord is delivering His people in power in ways we have never experienced. Recently I heard the Lord say, "Now is the time for 24-hour, major, monumental deliverance." When He spoke these words, they resounded loudly in my spirit. He is moving in so much power, upon many right now, that monumental change will take place in a day. Things will look one way and then, suddenly, the mighty wind of the Holy Spirit will come in power and bring significant deliverance and complete change.
"Therefore submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 Do you know what time it is? Is your watch synchronized with heaven? For those who are watching and discerning movements in the spiritual realm, know that this is not the time to acquiesce, comply or back down. Nor is it the time to fight one another or battle for vindication. As the enemies of God spew out their defiant destruction on anything holy and pure, it is time for the people of God to take their stand and resist the devil. "Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8
The Lord has been speaking to me about the time that we are in right now as prophetic scribes. I thought today was an ideal time to share this encouraging word with you. I believe it applies to those who have earnestly wanted to pursue educational and entrepreneurial goals but were met with setbacks, closed doors, and tremendous discouragement. I pray that it blesses you immensely. I heard this: Now is the time for my people to strategically enter the next phase of their educational journey (JD, PhD, doctoral, etc.) and training initiatives in certain professional and specialty areas in their lives like advocacy, political science, chaplaincy, counseling, medicine, etc.
There's a lot of uncertainty in the air right now, but God is saying that now is not the time to give up! Now is the time to stand firm and watch God move on our behalf. This doesn't mean there isn't work to be done; it just means that all is not hopeless and God has good plans for you. God has actually released Strategies from Heaven to help you get through this time. Here are a few strategies you can begin to activate in your life right now. This is a time when we will see many people who have a "Joseph anointing" come on the scene. Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and gave prophetic words that set up a huge financial blessing and far-reaching provision during a famine (Genesis 37–41). These "Joseph People," both men and women, will release prophetic insight and financial blessing into the Kingdom of God.
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for three months, you know gasoline is at record low prices. I paid $1.25 a gallon last week in Georgia. Some states are reporting prices below a dollar a gallon. There are two reasons for the price drop: Not as many people are buying gasoline because of the pandemic, and Russia and Saudi Arabia are engaged in a price war, causing the oil supply to swing up. Market analysts say they've never seen such a glut of oil. As I pondered this situation a few days ago the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said: "Now is the time to fill up."
Holy Spirit drew me into a time of prayer concerning the pandemic and the groanings across the earth. That which is being shaken is beyond a virus and even a governmental crisis. It is God's heart for all of creation and the eternal destinies of peoples and nations that He wants to awaken deep within our souls. The Lord says: Now is the time for a reckoning of souls and dividing of hearts. My people have been ridiculed, mocked and derided long enough! I am acting on the prayers of the saints, both past and present, for that which is happening upon the earth. Yes, even the cloud of witnesses is joining in this call for justice to roll like thunder!
We are not in familiar times anymore. The schemes of the enemy to bring about his filth have been uncovered and they are at the finish line. The end of the age is alarmingly near. Now is the time for the church to stand up and take ground. A lethargic spirit has held back the church in recent years, yes the last 13 years. It started slowly and grew more and more prevalent as the years went by. A body-wide hope that a great awakening was going to arrive in 2005 was put on pause by the Lord because the church had not yet been dressed with the new wine skin.
