What I am about to share may not be pleasant for you to hear. However, in my assignment, I must sound the alarm. As an intercessor and watchman on the wall, as an apostolic prophetic teacher, I cannot and I will not have the blood of the church on my hands. (Eze. 33:1-9)
I awakened this morning to the song “Blow A Trumpet In Zion” out of the Scripture in Joel 2: 1-11. Here’s a link to the song: https://youtu.be/zEhqebchTso .
Joel 2:1 Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the LORD is coming; Surely it is near, 2:2 A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations. ….2:9 They rush on the city, They run on the wall; ….2:11 The LORD utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?
This passage describes a coming people who will break forth in a day of darkness and is unlike any people yet seen. They are in full unity before God and without breaking rank they wreak havoc against the kingdom of darkness and evil across the world. They are led by the voice of the Lord and their strength is so awesome that no one can endure them. I would like to think that this army of the Lord is the church in this hour, but I don’t think it is. It can be, but it just isn’t prepared. Honestly, we better move NOW! I’m going to say again what I have been saying for the last month; They are coming! Ready or not, they are coming!
First, I must admit that on Wednesday, Nov. 5th I found myself very upset with not only the election results, but with the “church” that seems to just wither in complacency after something epoch occurs. Let me be very clear: Donald Trump wins the election (PTL), begins to take down giants around the world and the church’s response is “Oh hum. Everything is under control now and I’ll just let DJT and his team take care of things while I go back to my rocking chair.” DO WE NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE TIMELINE OF OUR KING? DO WE NOT UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF EVIL WE ARE FACING AS CITIZENS OF LIGHT? My friends, we are at war at a level never seen before? How can we not get out and vote? How can we not make our voices heard? The performance of the church in this election was abysmal. This enemy that we face is not going to stop until they are stopped. And, the only way they are going to be stopped is when they encounter the immovable unescapable army of the Living God. How many times must we hear that we are at war against the powers of darkness in the heavenlies? How many times must we hear that the enemy’s strategy is to move the prophetic timeline forward so that they outrun God’s plan of redemption?
The word of the prophets in this hour is that we must discern the times and know what to do. God has got His strategy well identified but He needs us to engage in the earth to bring it into manifestation. This prophetic word of warning from the wall of intercession is for pastors in the pulpit, leaders in the marketplace and you in the seats of the church and community. We are God’s partners; His family. It is all on the line now. Do you trust Jesus even unto death? (Rev. 12:11) As thousands die as martyrs around the earth right now in such places as Nigeria, Syria, Congo, France, England, yes even like Charlie Kirk in the USA, what is the church’s response? As thousands come to Christ in the streets, cities and arenas of the USA, is the church ready to disciple them and assimilate them into the Kingdom of God? The answer: NO WE ARE NOT READY. I say again, “READY OR NOT, HERE THEY COME!”
We are not called to be a people of desperation, of despair, or of fear. We are called to be salt, light, power, love and of a strong mind. My Brothers and Sisters, don’t follow the easy path of water that flows downhill. Rise up now; swim upstream. Overcome your complacency, apathy and laziness! Believers must get themselves out of the comfort zone and into the growth zone. The life of faith in Christ is a life of risk—if you could do it yourself, why would you need God? It is always going to be risky in the growth zone, but, Jesus is in the growth zone.
Believers, open your eyes and ears so you can learn of the times and know what to do. The prophetic timeline of God that is in motion right now is the Book of Esther. Things were the darkest for the Jews right before Hamon was hung on his own gallows. Where are the Mordechai’s? Where are the Esther’s? “For if you do not fulfill this assignment, God will provide another to bring the victory for the Kingdom.” (Esther 4:14)
YOU need information about the criticalness of this hour! Listen to the comments of these prophetic and pastoral men who have a wealth of experience with the warfare we are facing. It isn’t pretty. I don’t share it to provoke you to fear, but to understanding and preparation. It is time to be the Joshua’s and Caleb’s of this hour. Yes, the giants are great in stature, BUT we are well able to take them as our captives because our God is with us. (Num. 13:30) Please Friends, take an hour and learn. Awaken from your slumber: https://rumble.com/v71bqc0-flashpoint-livestream-11.06.25-thursday.html?e9s=src_v1_clr%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a .
I conclude with this message of alertness and faith from the Apostle Paul. May we all be quickened with truth and boldness for the hour in which we were created to steward.
Eph 5:15 -17 So be very careful how you live, not being like those with no understanding, but live honorably with true wisdom, for we are living in evil times. Take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for his purposes. And don’t live foolishly for then you will have discernment to fully understand God’s will. (TPT)
Gal 2:20-21 “My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine! “So that is why I don’t view God’s grace as something minor or peripheral. For if keeping the law could release God’s righteousness to us, the Anointed One would have died for nothing.” (TPT)
