Contend for Your Breakthrough by Doug Addison

Contend for Your Breakthrough 

by Doug Addison

Identity Network

 
Forerunners are Emerging
 
Don't be alarmed by all the disasters and unrest in the world. This is a time to stay at peace and stay on course with what God is revealing to you. The turmoil is birth pains of something new from God that is now emerging.
 
God is raising many people up as forerunners to the new movement that is upon us. We are called to be "new wineskin" believers that will be willing to love people and not judge them. This new move of God that is upon us is a release of supernatural love and mercy.
 
Relationships Restored
 
In January 2015 I released a prophetic word for the year 2015. This is what God spoke to me about the month of May:
 
God is going to begin to accelerate things. Just as May is the fifth month, so it will be a time of a supernatural release of grace (five is symbolic of grace). The spirit and ministry of reconciliation will be released and relationships will be restored. This will happen even with your own relationship with God as He reveals Himself as a Father to you. There will be a deep mending of hidden hopelessness and building of a greater trust in you.
 
I responded to this in my own life by reaching out to five people and asking forgiveness. I invite you to try this as well. In the season we are now in, it is important to keep the spiritual atmosphere clear. God is in the business of reconciling people and we have to embrace people different than us as well as those that we have disagreements with.
 
2 Corinthians 5:19 NIV God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
 
Get Ready for Things to Move Fast
 
Expect fast movement, realigning and relocation. Some people will need to move to new jobs or associations to advance. This is not just for physical moving but for all sorts of different areas of life. Sudden movement, quick advancement and realignment will be the result of new assignments coming to people.
 
The purpose behind this is to get you in the right place at the right time. There have been people in your old season that might not recognize the advancement you are making. We can sometimes be held back by not moving forward.
 
Contending for Your Breakthrough
 
I have been prophesying this: this is a season of time that you can recover things that were stolen or lost over the past seven years or more. You have to press in and contend for it!
 
I recommend reading 1 Samuel 30 where David had lost everything and his followers were ready to kill him.
 
In the midst of his distress, he inquired of God and got a strategy (verse 7). He was able to recover his losses and in chapter 31 his life destiny radically shifted. He went from running from the enemy to ruling as King of Israel. But it was not without a battle!
 
This is a prophetic word for now: inquire of God and get your strategy to break through. I was healed of Huntington's chorea and Lyme disease as well as several other things that have come against me. To be honest I did not feel like I could go on one more day. But like David, I inquired of God and got a strategy. From there I took radical steps that eventually turned things around.
 
I just released a new blog on how I inquired of the Lord and got out of a major amount of debt and received several major healings.
 
Judgments Make Things Slippery
 
I had a dream that I was trying to walk up a ramp with others to get to a new level. As we all tried to move forward, we kept slipping backwards. God spoke to me in the dream that judgments against other people will prevent us from getting to the next level. I woke up repenting for any judgments I might have. I also knew that this is a word for the greater Church.
 
Matthew 7:1-2 NIV (Jesus said) "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
 
If you judge other people and you yourself have the same sin in your life then you will begin to lose your authority. But if you extend grace and love to others you will begin to experience a new level of freedom.
 
You don't have to agree with a person or their lifestyle but we are required to love. There is a move of God coming for those that we have judged. We need to repent of judgments so that we can minister to others with a pure heart. Because David extended grace and spared King Saul's life, it set him up to later receive grace from God when he needed it during his own difficult times.
 
Get out of Solitary Confinement
 
I released a prophetic word recently about people being under "House of God arrest." This is similar to house arrest - because of accusations you have been limited in your calling. God is breaking that off.
 
But as a result of their house arrest season many people have been in solitary confinement. God is calling those who have been in isolation to come out. Many of you were wounded and rejected and you recoiled. It is time to come out and experience a new level of healing and restoration.
 
Rise Above
 
The prophetic word I released for 2015 is that this is the year of the "Open door in Heaven."  God showed me Revelation 4:1, that we need to "come up here and I will show you the things that are about to take place".
 
We need to rise above our current trials and situations and gain God's perspective. We have had to battle the continual attacks of the enemy for the past few years but we will not back down.
 
Galatians 6:9 NIV Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
 
Let's agree in prayer together for our breakthrough strategy.
 
Blessings.

RESPONSE TO EVIL by Morris E. Ruddick



RESPONSE TO EVIL

(c) Morris E. Ruddick


"Lord, You have set up a banner for those who fear You, a standard displayed because of the truth. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us." Ps 60:3-5

Mind-sets are a compilation of assumptions that influence how we live our lives. They are the predispositions of our attitudes which determine how we respond to the circumstances around us. Mind-sets shape an individual's behavior. Cultural mind-sets mold the identity shared by a people.

Working with believers in cultures where freedom is at risk has often challenged me to take a closer look at my own individual and cultural mind-sets. One culture I've worked with in particular includes a number of leaders who have spent extended time in hard-labor prisons for their faith. The intent of these incarcerations of brutal conditions was to undermine their faith. It had the opposite effect.

In each case, I've been struck by the strength of character, decision-priorities and genuine humility of these friends who bear these brand-marks of their faith. On the other hand, what I have not observed is the focus that the West can give to issues that impact the soul. In conditions designed to break their spirit, those issues included severe deprivation of such essentials as having enough food to live and the realities of facing death.

In short, what I have witnessed has been a distinct absence of a victim's mentality. In lands of persecution, almost everyone has a story of tragedy and serious loss. Yet, contrary to Western predispositions, the choice has been to put their tragic pasts behind them to more fully live in "the now."

"Forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forth for that which is ahead." Phil3:13

Paul's admonition is not to "stuff it," but rather to renew our minds and make a choice to transform our thinking by giving focus to remembering those things that are true, noble, just, pure and of good report (Phil 4:8). That's the rallying banner. It's the standard upheld by those we regard as heroes of faith.

Foundations to How We Respond

At the core of the way of the Kingdom is how we respond to evil. Our mind-sets play a significant role in this response. The first premise is that we cannot hope for much by responding in our own strength or cleverness, no matter how much we verbalize it. It takes a great deal more, even for the most talented.

The opening Scripture is about that added dimension that only comes through God. It is from a Psalm describing a people who have strayed and lost the power and protection of God against evil. It outlines the need to be restored and highlights what is required to maintain that place in which God intervenes on their behalf.

Over the centuries, the Lord has imparted banners and standards for the good of His people. They serve an initial function to help us avoid the subtleties of evil. When ignored, they still provide the means of deliverance, although at a higher cost when evil inroads can only be met by judgment.

The banner displayed gives first priority to embracing the unequivocal fear of the Lord. That calls for a choice. The standard then sets the stage to unveil the truth and the reality of God that empowers deliverance. It is the foundation from which we can cry out to the Lord and expect the manifestation of His power.

Bondages result when God's supernatural standards are watered down with the natural. Within the Body are many who enjoy God's blessings yet are constrained from crossing the boundaries into what is represented by the fullness of their callings. The constraints typically are self-imposed, driven by precepts of men, with the standards influenced by both individual and cultural mind-sets and predispositions.

The response to evil draws a line in the sand. Not recklessly or arbitrarily, but rather as a choice and a priority to uphold the standard. That choice is contrary to the way the world responds. That sometimes means sacrifice. Yet, that choice is the very foundation that Jesus imparted to His followers during His three year earthly ministry.

The Subtle Influence

For years I have worked with men and women of God being prepared with modern-day Joseph-type callings. The calling of God in the marketplace is not one of position or status, but a calling of influence. The influence evolves around establishing God's standard against evil, harnessing resources, and bringing deliverance and transformation within the infrastructures of the world's systems.

Yet, again and again the pressures and subtleties faced by these modern-day Josephs bring challenge and distortion to their mantles. With the distractions and deceptions, the result is being drawn into safe-places, of spiritually treading water.

As an illustration of the subtleties that distort and diminish the standard, the Western media has long advanced a cultural mind-set that turns returning military heroes into victims. It has undermined the standard of the cause of freedom with subtle, downgraded and distorted moralizations. The brand-marks of true heroes are then dishonored and reduced to pity.

Pilate's challenge to Jesus was based on this very premise: that Jesus was facing death and Pilate had the authority to release Him. Jesus' response to Pilate was that his authority was limited and defined only by the Father. Figuratively speaking, Jesus spit in the face of death. Jesus was never a victim. His response refused a mind-set of pity, as He held to the standard.

Jesus said He came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill, to bring completion to them. He drew a line in the sand with destruction and death. Yet, until the time He was turned over to Pilate and Herod to face crucifixion, the focus of His earthly ministry dealt with the response to evil within the household of faith.

"From the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force." Matt 11:12

The Evil Within

The evil within the household of faith is far more subtle than the evil from outside the community of God's people. Ranging from factors such as obsessive introspection leading to majoring in minors and spiritual myopia to outright misuses of authority, the result has long been a people of feeble power, fragmented and divided.

Nevertheless, overcoming these vulnerabilities represents the cohesive foundation needed to maximize the power in responding to evil coming from the world's system. No one group has the total picture, which is why we need one another. The level to which the evil within the community of God's people is properly addressed will be the level destabilizing and diluting the impact of the evil lurking outside the camp.

"Do not be afraid of the sudden fear nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being taken."
Prov 3:25-26

The inroads of evil into the household of faith find their seedbed in mind-sets, the most devilish being religious mind-sets. Instead of being the influencers and overcomers, the Body has systematically become culturally compliant and spiritually anemic. The perception is viewed as the reality. Most purveyors of news are no longer presenting facts, but rather the spin of events within the view of a creeping system of godless values and evil-intended priorities.

In God's eyes, the reality is based on the standard. God's standard is the driver for our mind-sets, the factor that determines what is right and the priorities we ascribe in stewarding our destinies. That standard is then wielded to the degree that our thinking and actions are in oneness with Him.

"Thus says the Lord: Stand at the crossroads and look. Then ask for the ancient paths where the good way lies. Then walk in it and you will find rest for your souls." Jer 6:16

When God's people are in alignment with Him, His glory will manifest. God's glory manifested when King David brought God's people together. That was King David's greatest accomplishment and will be the standard for the model in the millennium.

To grasp the dynamics needed to realize the release of God's glory in the face of evil requires a closer look at what pride really is, how true humility upholds the standard and the role of suffering. With that is the need to understand how the Word of God defines wickedness within the ranks of the household of faith.

The Seduction of Pride. There is a fine line between pride and honor. True honor comes from God. Pride, however, is self-created and rails against the knowledge of God. Self-righteousness is based on pride. It seduces and distorts. The Bible says that pride is like death and cannot be satisfied (Hab 2:5).

Jesus addressed this dynamic manifesting with the Pharisees. They reached for the standard and missed. Their elitism and self-serving ambition for status and power pushed them away from God. It manifested in the mind-sets and the priorities they gave to the way they lived their lives. Jesus called them hypocrites because of their spiritual myopia.

The history of God's people is filled with stories of "strays" who have misused their authority and operated under short-sighted, prideful illusions of their own significance in their stewardship of God's power. The Bible describes them as wicked.

Proverbs 12:5-7 draws a sharp comparison between the righteous and the wicked. It applies within the boundaries of God's people. The divergence is between being just and operating with treachery and deceit. It speaks of the wicked seeking to entrap, of being ensnared by their own words, while the righteous maintain their integrity through backlash to emerge not only whole, but with new dimensions of purpose and enlightenment. Remember Job's response to his "friends" and the later end for Job.

"When Job prayed for his friends the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as before." Job 42:10

It is the way of the Kingdom to respond to evil with good. In short, the root of the righteous, defined by this standard, cannot be moved or uprooted (Prov 12:3). It emphasizes our complete dependency on God and the importance of humility and a listening heart in maintaining the standard to stay the pathway.

Humility and a Listening Heart. At the core of a righteous heart is the humility that comes from a genuine listening heart. We continually need to be hearing from God and the truth of His Word. We likewise need the wisdom from those who have gone before us as well as the God-fearing whose orientations are not constrained by our own search for what is truth.

"[The Bereans] were more fair-minded.... in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."Acts 17:11

That's not to suggest a potpourri of opinions, but rather the discernment of the essentials needed to grasp the biblical standard guiding the steps of the community of faith. The need calls for more than a doctrinal statement on a web-site.

The world we live in, along with today's factionalized Body demands strategic-level wisdom in establishing the scriptural common ground of how we come together and how we operate as the community of faith -- in a way that draws the world.
"You are the light of the world, a city [community] set on a hill that cannot be hidden." Matt 5:14

The homosexual community mapped out just such a strategy roughly three decades ago. They have exceeded their goals. But then Jesus observed that the sons of this world can be more shrewd in operating with their own kind, than the sons of Light. To have a story to tell begins WITHIN the household of faith, with the degree to which we are listening to one another. The common ground involves how we OPERATE together. That will require humility.

Humility toward God and others is a Kingdom key. It is an igniter for unity. Humility is the shield against pride and the fear of man. Paul described the ultimate spiritual enemy we are dealing with as death. True humility inoculates us against the fear of man and the age-old seductions of death and destruction.

The Response and Role of Suffering. People who have faced death in combat and survived, understand the reality involved in face-offs that "cheat" death. Winston Churchill was a man who over the course of his life had many encounters with death. He was intimately acquainted with how evil operated. His demeaner was fearless. His consistently big-picture response was to uphold the standard against evil.

When he was made Prime Minister, what he was dealing with was a faceoff with death. Hitler's machine had conquered most of the European continent. Churchill was surrounded by those seeking to appease evil. As irreverent and as unorthodox as Churchill could be, he was much like a modern-day Cyrus. God knew and called Cyrus long before Cyrus knew there to be such a One as the God of Israel.

In the world of 1940, Hitler may have been the human mechanism, but it was death that was on the march. In its grip were the chosen of God, with the anemic stewardship of the Lord's standard in the crucible. Churchill's response to death, to this amassing evil was to draw a line in the sand. Not unlike King David, with wisdom beyond his own brilliance, he rallied the free world and brought them into unity.

The response involved a time of extreme sacrifice and suffering. Historically, times of great revival have been directly correlated with times of sacrifice and suffering. So it is that we find ourselves today with evil amassing before us.

The Big-Picture Response

These are times described in Isaiah 60 as when darkness is covering the earth and deep darkness the people. Evil has aggressively come out of the closet. The clarion call for the household of faith is to give heed to the big-picture and gird up the loins of our mind-sets. Humility and listening hearts, along with facing the realities is no longer an option.

"While following the way of your judgments, we have eagerly waited for You. At night my soul longs for You. Indeed my spirit seeks you diligently. For when the earth experiences Your judgments, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness."
Isa 26:8-10

The need is to redirect the focus of the energies given to the fund-raising soap boxes, and sweep aside the idols occupying our minds (Ezek 14:5). In responding to the big picture of what is happening around us, is the need to draw a line in the sand, calling the evil within for what it is and to begin giving focus to the strategies needed to fully draw on our Great Equalizer in facing the realities.

Peter notes (1 Peter 4:17) that judgment first comes to the household of faith. Jesus said that each would be seasoned with fire and every sacrifice seasoned with salt (Mark9:49). That's the mix, it is the cost required to be carriers of His presence. In facing the disarray and division, it is time for the household of faith to uphold the big-picture standard, serve as God's calling card, as He draws all men to Himself.

"We have a strong city [community]. Lord, You have established and strengthened our walls and ramparts. So, open the gates, that all who are righteous may enter, the ones who have remained faithful. The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You. For in You we have an everlasting Rock." Isa 26:1-7

Blessing or Curse - Now Think On This by Steve Martin


Blessing or Curse
- Now Think On This
Steve Martin


"Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” Deut. 11:26-29 NKJV


The words you speak impact people more than we often realize. An encouraging word sown at the right time to a person wanting and needing some more hope, for their troubling heart or worrisome mind, can change a direction a person is going in, and effect their life beyond the immediate vision. Spoken with a prophetic impact that the Holy Spirit generates, a spoken word at the right time can even mean life or death for that person. It can be as a lifeline thrown out to one needing a pull out of the engulfing water.

A believing life “spoken” to a generation, one that is lived out of obedience to the voice of the Lord and following after Him, will have even more impact on many people; even a generation or more that follows behind. The lives of countless men and women, who heard the call of the Lord, and responded with, “Here I am Lord, Your servant is listening. Do unto me according to Your word,” have been so instrumental in changing nations by their simple obedience, day after decades of days.

In offering themselves in entrustment to His plans and purposes, their families, their communities, their nations were given the opportunity to be in the overflow of the Lord God’s blessing and provision that fell on them, and then flowed from and through them. Hearing and obeying the Father does that.

In our day, leaders in religion, business, media, entertainment, government, arts and education have a tremendous impact on their cultures – the communities, families and all the ones their waves of influence touch, for good or bad. Understanding that our actions will bring either blessing or curse upon those who look to us for guidance, knowingly or unknowingly, will have long lasting, even eternal, effects as a result of our actions. For those who hear and obey the Creator of all - blessings will flow downward. 

Ones who disregard and even despise the natural and spiritual laws put in place to guide and protect, those set forth by God Himself, the resulting just judgment will come forth, now or for sure later. What we sow we will reap. It is a natural and spiritual law that cannot be broken, except to result in bearing bad fruit.

You break the natural and spiritual laws in the universe and they will ultimately break you. (Any argument on that? Just have a reality check look in the nation you abide in.)

This truth has been proven out again and again in history, both in the written Scriptural documentation of the people of Israel, and in every nation which either followed the Lord’s way or opposed His purposes. Blessing or curse is our choice.

Having been a parent myself for over 35 years now, at the time of this writing, and also having served in several top leadership roles in ministry and secular business for over 40 years, I have seen that the actions leadership take will have even more of a lasting effect in a child’s life, or a company’s future, than just words spoken. The ripple of those actions taken at each point show up years later down the road.

It is true that actions do speak louder than words, for what is really in your heart will truly come out, especially in those times when a decisive response is needed in a critical situation. Then it really shows what you have, or don’t have, in your character. Blessing will follow, or a response as a curse will result.

To say it again - how you respond and deal with situations that come your way will be shown, as that which you really are will come out from that which is within. You can’t give out what you don’t have within you. From a pure spring flows pure water. From a cesspool flows accumulated filth.

“The good person produces good things from the store of good in his heart, while the evil person produces evil things from the store of evil in his heart. For his mouth speaks what overflows from his heart.” Luke 6:45 Complete Jewish Bible

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” Mark 7:21-23 NKJV

Speaking to my generation, we have the responsibility, the daily choice to walk in the righteous path we know is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is black and white. It is already firmly stated in the Lord’s Word. By choosing to follow Him daily, we are impacting the life the next generation will see and then also have the choice to walk in or not. We must do our part if we expect them to do theirs.

We have the option to daily live a righteous and holy life, set apart for the Lord’s purposes. We can choose to “do our own thing, in seeking our own pleasure”, which ultimately will bring a curse on us and the generation that follows, or we can heed the Lord’s word and follow Him.

But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

"As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ' Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?' "And they will say, 'Because they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.'" 
2 Chronicles 7:19-22 NASB

As it was for Israel, so choices taken will bring the same results in any nation. We must choose the blessing, and not allow the curse to come upon our land. Today, we must choose the Lord.

Now think on this,

A Prophetic Newsletter - "You Shall Know the Truth..." By Karla Shrake Jan. 30, 2014

"You Shall Know the Truth..."
by Karla Shrake
Jan. 30, 2014 
Those of you receiving this most likely already know Jesus / Yeshua as the truth, as "the way, the truth, and the life" - you have come to know Him as your Savior and all that includes.   And we know Him also as the light of the world as He spoke about Himself in John 8:12;  "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." 

We must have His truth and light to walk in daily victory

As believers who live in the last-days we so very desperately need more of heaven's truth and light to permeate every aspect of our lives. We need illumination for not only our spiritual walk, but we also need truth and divine illumination in every area of our personal lives as well.  

We would all agree that we need Holy Spirit enlightenment and guidance in our finances as we continue to hear of the lack of stability of our economy.  Most likely we have all been hurt or stolen from through relationships with people who were not honest and good to us, and hence we so need enlightenment as to whom He wants us aligned with in this season.  

And of course regarding the new Obamacare we most certainly need His enlightenment and guidance in our decisions that relate to our medical and health choices. And we do have choices, so we must be led of the Lord in our decision-making rather than being manipulated by the pressure-propaganda of the system.

Those who have followed me for any length of time have heard me share the scripture from Isaiah 60:1-2:
"Arise and shine for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For behold darkness will cover the earth,
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you,
And His glory will appear upon you."

 
I believe dear ones, that we are living in the best of times and the worst of times.  I think we would all agree that darkness is now covering the earth and deep darkness the peoples -- so it would seem we are the ones that Isaiah the prophet saw long ago.  The good news is that He is arising and shining through us as His children, His ambassadors and His Bride.  Glory to His name for that!  


We must not be Ignorant of the Schemes of the Enemy 

For me personally the Lord has led me on a bit of a different pathway the last nine or so months.  He has prompted me and required of me to become more informed and educated as to more of the nature of the 'darkness & deep darkness' that is now covering the earth and its peoples.  We are told in II Cor. 2:11 that we must not be ignorant of the schemes of the enemy, lest he be able to take advantage of us and Ephesians 6:11 warns us 'of the wiles of the devil.'   

Yeshua says in John 10:10 that "the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy."  The truth is we have an adversary who dwells in the shadows of darkness and deceit, but we must understand that he is nevertheless a very real enemy, one who wants us poor, sick, and dead!

What is really going on? 

Believers can sometimes be naive about what is going on in the real world and I agree it is tempting to look the other way and stick our head in the sand, but we cannot do that in the hour of treachery in which we live.   We must look to our Father and walk more closely with Him than ever before in order to avoid and overcome the snares, assignments and schemes of the powers of darkness, for they are many, and aimed at all areas of our personal lives.  

Yeshua said 'the gates of hell' would come against us, but that they would not prevail. Dear champions of the faith in order for us to overcome we must live in the reality of what is really going on.  We can no longer blindly buy what the mainstream media is selling nor can we live in a fantasy world of what we would like to believe.   But as followers of Yeshua who IS The Truth and The Light........we must also live in the light and reality of what the scriptures reveal regarding the challenging last days.

The Fresh Oil of divine Courage is Pouring Forth 

The Lord is eager to pour out a new oil, a new grace upon us for the hour in which we live. He is empowering us as His people with a new courage so that we are both able and willing to see and know the truth of how and what the enemy is doing behind closed doors. When 9/11 happened it was challenging to comprehend who/ what could be so evil as to do that to innocent people.  

And that is still our challenge precious believers, to comprehend the depth of the horrific wickedness and the hellish things the enemy is planning for our country and yes, even for us.  

You were Born for this Day

Dear Champions,
And while it is imperative that we become aware of the deep wickedness of the world around us, it is also imperative that we realize who we are -- we are the solution!  Yes, like the saints of old, we are God's solution to what is going on! We are the Gideons, the Moses, the Davids, the Queen Esther & Mordecais, the Deborahs, the Elijahs, the Peter, James' and Johns.   

We are those Daniel saw long ago who know our God and who are stepping forth to do great exploits in the name of our King!   We are arising and shining, emboldened and empowered by His glory!

I hope you will read the newsletter below from last August, as it provides a faith-perspective on what I shared with you in the article above.  As I went back and reread it this morning I was lifted and encouraged.  And please join me as you scroll down below to the Davidic Warrior's section, as we receive together the Father's outpouring of fresh oil, fresh courage!

From August 2013: 
"I am The Divine Globalist," says the Lord,
"and I am Lifting the Veil of Deceit"
by Karla Shrake 

"My champions, you were chosen to be born for this day and you have My DNA," says your Father.   "As The One who conceived and fashioned you I want to assure you that you shall surely stand and even flourish in the midst of all that is on the horizon in this late hour of human history."  

Change at Hand - My Peace I Give to You

"In your personal lives be not concerned that there are things of the past season that are coming to an end, for you must understand this must be so in order to make room for the new commissionings and faith-adventures I have for you.  Be not anxious as many things begin to shift, change and turn, for the prophetic time-clock of history is accelerating.  As the Father-of-all I am very busy on the planet, on every continent, for I so love all the diverse peoples and cultures of the earth."  

"I am the Divine Globalist!" laughs the Creator of the Universe.   "I have the whole world on My mind and I have had a plan of redemption from the beginning.  Did I not tell you in detail that the time near the end would be marked by birth-pangs and much change?  In the midst of circumstances that are changing and shifting, the one thing that will never change is that you are Mine and I watch over My covenant children.   There is no power in heaven nor on earth that can snatch My blood-bought children out of My hand," consoles your Father, the Lord God Almighty.  

"For while the seas may roar and the mountains may fall know that I AM the first and the last, the One who changes not. I am The Faithful One who has you securely in My mighty hand."

"So do not become consumed with excessive focus on the markets or on your government and its politicians, but rather focus on The One who made the heavens and the earth, the One who formed you within the belly of your mother, The One who has loved you from the beginning."  


I am The Righteous Judge

"You will also come to know Me as The Righteous Judge as I am now beginning to judge the powers of darkness and the enemies of the cross, and I will judge the enemies' of My children, My bride.  I am long-suffering but because I am also forever just you will now begin to see My righteous judgments increasing in the earth, for it is through these that many prisoners will finally be set free."

"The veil of darkness, the shroud of deceit, I have begun to lift so that the enemies' lies and wicked schemes would be exposed.  Among those who oppose Me are those who have a counterfeit plan of destruction and take-over of the peoples and resources of the earth. But I sit in the heavens and laugh as these enemies are being made a footstool under the feet of My Son."

"My righteous judgments are going forth, for it is My gavel that shall crush your adversaries," explains the Lord.


Ambassadors of Truth Commissioned


"For truly the enemy has lied and schemed from the very beginning
in the garden, causing humanity to question My love and goodness
toward them. In this age of deceit know that as I send you to
represent Me, the light of My truth will burn ever-more-brightly than
ever before. For who among you like to be lied about and
misrepresented? And neither do I!" says the Lord of Hosts.

"So go dear champions, in the power of My Spirit and herald the
truth that I am a very good and faithful Father and that I am not only
merciful, but also just. As you partner with Me in complete obedience
in this challenging hour you will see your enemies hung on their own
gallows as it was with the enemies of Mordecai and Queen Esther
long ago."

"For I am the ultimate whistleblower! For not only do I tell the truth,
I released the fullness of truth to the earth in the form of My Son,
who is forevermore The Way, The Truth and The Life, and the only
way back to Me. It was The Lamb who purchased the mercy that
covers you but understand it was The Lamb who also purchased the
judgment that overtakes your enemies. All was purchased with His
pure and holy blood, so honor The Lamb/ Lion wherever He treads
among you. For the government is most assuredly upon His shoulders
and He is bringing heaven to earth as you partner with Him by allowing
Him to rule and reign in and through you."

"For you are very greatly loved and treasured My little children,
My last-day champions of the faith," says your Abba-Father. "I have
much trust in you to carry out My bidding, for there is much riding on
your obedience as billions of souls are ripe for harvest and the end of
the age is not far off. Please go and quickly gather them into the
family-ark," pleads the caring Father.



"Partner with Me in declaring My Word and you shall see My
righteous judgments go forth as fire and lightnings."
