For the past several months we have been experiencing civil unrest and lawlessness in our country on so many levels. Sin is running rampant and in the natural it appears as if the enemy is gaining ground. For those who have spiritual eyes to see understand that we are not fighting a physical battle but a spiritual battle. Some people are being shaken to the core by what is happening, but then there are those who are walking by faith and not by sight. They are tenacious and steadfast in their faith pursuing the plan of God that they have been contending for. They trust in Jesus and are not moved by what they see.
The Holy Spirit brought me back to a prophetic word that I shared several years ago. He showed me a picture of a multitude of people with wind up keys on their backs walking around like wind up dolls. Each person was walking in a different direction. Some people were walking to and fro wandering aimlessly without hope and some were being swayed in the wrong direction. Some were lagging behind while others appeared to be in a trance of fear. There were some walking in a circular motion not realizing that they weren't going anywhere, just like a hamster running around on a wheel.
But then I saw those who were marching with determination knowing exactly what their destination was. They marched on with courage and confidence trusting Jesus. They had fire in their eyes and the Word of God in their mouths. They stood upright, they were bold and radical in their faith, and they were steadfast in what they believed. They seemed to have a protective shield around them as every fiery dart that came against them was extinguished. They were not swayed by adverse circumstances or bad news, but they stood on the word of God.
I asked The Lord what this meant and this is what He showed me. Every person in the universe is walking around wound up in different mindsets. As they hear the evil reports some people are wound up in worries, some are wound up in confusion, some are wound up in trauma and many are wound up in fear. But then there is the remnant who are stirred up in faith, stirred up in joy, and they continue to stir themselves up spiritually by praying in the Spirit.
The Lord says, "Allow Me to unwind you from the pressures of the world. Keep your eyes on Me. Do not fear anything that seems to be too large to handle in the natural, and allow Me to release you from torment and confusion in your mind. Trust in Me for impossible situations. I'm looking for someone who will carry My anointing in this season of unrest. I'm looking for someone who is not afraid of the dark. I am raising up warriors who are willing to lay down their lives for the greater life. They are those who walk in My purpose and give their lives for My plan. They are those who say 'Lord I'm available to You'"
"I am looking for those who will intercede for this nation. They are the watchman who see's into the enemies' camp. They are the sons of Issachar who know the times and the seasons. They are mighty men and women of valor who shift the atmosphere wherever they go and they release light into the dark areas. They release others from burdens and weights. They release those who are fatigued and weighed down. I am calling those who will speak into impossible situations. Those who will carry My glory and release My anointing into a dark world. Stir yourselves up again so that I could use you in this end time revival to transform the world," says the Lord.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Jude 1:20-21 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
