Today’s Reading:
Daniel 2
Jeremiah 51
Psalm 91
May the blessed name of God be praised forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his alone. He alone controls the changes of times and seasons. He enthrones and dethrones kings, he imparts wisdom to the wise, and he pours out revelation-knowledge to those with understanding. He alone reveals deep secrets and mysteries and knows what lies in darkness, for he radiates glory-light all around him.
Daniel 2:20-22 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The pace is intensifying. I Am the Lord of the times and seasons. Though the enemy pushes and pushes to have his way, I control the times and seasons. I Am increasing the intensity of the pace. I Am causing it to feel like time is speeding up. This will force the enemy to play every card in their hand before the game is over. I Am squeezing them with the intensity of the pace and the shortening of the time. Time is running out for the wicked. Stay above it all. Stay in that up higher place. Stay in the perch in the cleft of the rock up high where I have placed you for your safety, as watchman and as a prophet. From up there, you can look down below and see the intensity has been turned up. You can see that the pace has quickened as if someone invisibly sped up the pace on the treadmill of time. I did it. I Am wearing out the enemy with the pace. This is a time where I will force their hand, and they will play every card and come up short.
Give the signal to attack Babylon’s walls! Post sentries and reinforce the guards! Prepare a surprise attack! Yahweh has done what he said he would do to the people of Babylon. You who are enthroned beside many rivers and canals and are rich in treasures, your end has come. The thread of your life is cut. For I have sworn by my great name, Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, that I will fill your land with warriors as a swarm of locusts, and they will raise up the victory shout over you.
Jeremiah 51:12-14 TPT
The intensity and pace is for the enemy. It’s not for you. You are to be above it all. You are to observe it, to declare and decree into it. You are to bind and to loose, to call things that are not as though they are and to cut off the works of the enemy. Your words have power, and they play a vital role in this time. Don’t get dragged down into ground warfare. Don’t leave your perch. I have called you as a watchman, and I Am calling you to prophesy to the situations you see, prophesy to the dry bones and cracked foundation of this nation, so it may live. Prophesy an end to the horrors and reign of evil. Prophesy life to your ancient birthright, to the ancient covenant, to the scrolls upon which your nation was founded.
For here is what the Lord has spoken to me: “Because you have me, delighted in me as my great lover, I will greatly protect you. I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face. I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel my presence in your time of pressure and trouble. I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast. I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”
Psalms 91:14-16 TPT
This is a climax moment. You can feel it. All points will soon converge. Do your part as a watchman. Do your part as a fierce warrior of prayer and love. You determine with your words and with your actions what you will allow and disallow. War with your words. War with My Holy Scriptures. War with the prophecies I have given you. This is the time to war from the high ground, from this protected perch I have placed you. You will turn the tide. Your active engagement against the enemy and for the return to the foundations will change the tide.
How to Respond
- Recognize that this is a serious season of spiritual warfare, and every warrior for the Lord must be at their post.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You have provided a safe, protected place for me high above the ground war. Help me to remain in my post. Stay close to me, and help me to know how to pray and what to declare and prophesy into each situation. I want to be an effective warrior for You and for the good of this nation.
- Declare, the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. He is the one who determines the times and the seasons. He raises kings up and He takes others down.
- Decree, I will stand watch at my post. I will be vigilant and vocal as the Lord reveals to me what to pray, what to declare and what to speak into every situation that happens on the ground. I will not be dragged down or baited down to the ground war. I will remain at my post, and I will use the strategies and the words, scriptures and prophesies the Lord brings to mind. I will participate in causing the tide to turn. I will see as the enemy spends all of their ammunition before the war is over, and I will see the Lord and those with Him triumph. America shall be saved.
- As you read today’s chapters in the scriptures, make them into your own decrees for the future, salvation & prosperity of America and the destruction, downfall & justice served to evil.
