When God Seems Silent: Trusting the Stillness.

                                            

Have you ever fasted and prayed, yet it felt like God was quiet? 

Have you knocked on doors only to feel like none of them are opening?

This is a familiar experience for many of us. We pray, we wait, and yet there are moments when no answer seems to come. The silence can feel overwhelming, so much so that you may begin to question yourself: “Did I say or do something wrong? Why is God not responding?”

But here’s the truth: silence is not absence. Sometimes, God’s presence is found most powerfully in the stillness. "Be still, and know that I am God…” Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

In these seasons, God is not ignoring you—He is working. He’s building resilience through your patience. He’s shaping character in your waiting. Yes, He sees that you need that breakthrough, that promotion, that answer. But more importantly, He wants to prepare you for what He’s about to release into your life.

“Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

—James 1:4 (NIV)

Think of the Israelites. God promised them the Promised Land—not as a vague hope but as a definite inheritance. Yet He didn’t rush them into it. Why? Because there were things that needed to be refined in them first.

The same is true for us.

There are blessings God wants to give you. But He’s first dealing with the things that would hinder your ability to steward them well—small-mindedness, impatience, character flaws, and careless words. His goal is not just to answer your prayers, but to make you ready for the answer.

This preparation requires alignment. Fasting is powerful, but if you fast without aligning your heart, actions, and mindset with God’s direction, you may feel stuck. Alignment often unlocks more than effort alone. God sees you—not as you are now, but as who He has called you to be. The crown He’s prepared fits that version of you. So if you’re feeling delayed, know this: the delay is not to harm you but to refine you. It’s making room for a better, stronger, more mature version of you.

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time… though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

—Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)

So don’t give up. Don’t grow weary. The process may be tiring, but it is purposeful. God is working in the silence.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

—Romans 8:28 (NIV)

Stay Revived and Happy New Month.

The Way of Daniel.

Have you ever wondered about Daniel's reaction in the presence of the king when the proclamation was made before he went into prayer? One thing the Bible emphasizes is that after the decree was issued, Daniel went to his place, as usual, and offered prayers to God. When I reached this point, I couldn't help but wonder why Daniel, being part of the governor's council, didn't protest or speak his mind. However, the Bible does not record such an account. Looking back at Daniel's life story, he displayed restraint in his speech; he only spoke when the Lord permitted him or when he was asked a question by the ruler or king.

Daniel didn't have to worry about the lion's den—it wasn't his concern because he was already constantly in a den of people who behaved "like a roaring lion" seeking to devour his voice and ordinances in the Lord. Thus, he didn't feel the need to defend his God or express his truth.

When you find yourself in a strange land, and the Lord gives you an excellent spirit, which can also be described in Psalm 23 as "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" (Psalm 23:5, NKJV), it may not seem like you are in a warfare, but in reality, a battle is arising—a battle to constantly enthrone Yeshua in a place where He isn’t accepted or honored. Daniel had to continuously contend with his colleagues and their policies. That's why the Bible notes that even before the sun went down, he had already lifted his voice in prayer "three times a day" (Daniel 6:10, NKJV).

Yes, Daniel held a position of authority in the land, but he understood that the kingdom he represented didn't fight first with ideology or by proclaiming their truth. There is a greater way, which is the way of prayer.

The generation we live in often wants to assert their truth and have a say in every discussion and argument. But God is urging us to put a constraint on our tongues and engage in constant intercession. More effective and positive changes will occur if you choose to adopt Daniel's strategy in battle. He said he understood by books, and when he had understanding, he waged war through prayer to seek a way for himself and his generation (Daniel 9:2).

Daniel is calling us today: instead of trying to be heard and understood, why not take a detour and wage war on your knees? God is saying, *"Fight, for I have given you a tongue that speaks fire"*. But first, you must wage war in the spiritual realm and see it manifested in the physical. In that moment, people will choose to follow your way—not because you argued your truth in multiple conversations, but because victory has been granted to you in the realm of the spirit.

Daniel wielded considerable authority in his time but faced attacks—yet he did not suffer defeat. 

What say you? 

Will you choose to speak your truth even when you see that the god of this world has blinded their eyes?

 Or will you engage in spiritual warfare first?

Just like Daniel, we are promised victory because *Jesus is our Victory*.

A journey of salvation to freedom.

True salvation begins with a heart that hungers for the hand of God.

It is not a casual decision or a fallback option for the weak—it is a powerful, life-altering choice that redefines everything.

Salvation is not merely a one-time event; it is the beginning of a transformative journey with Jesus. That journey begins when we come to the knowledge of Him—acknowledging His death and resurrection, and accepting the just claims of God over our souls.

> “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23

This is why the message of salvation can never be overemphasized. If you're carrying the weight of the world—your past, pain, or present struggles—Jesus is the answer.

Accept Him and step into a life of true freedom. Salvation is not just about going to heaven someday; it’s about walking with Jesus daily, allowing Him to guide your every step.

> “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:6

The realm of the Spirit is not something we step into only when we die. It begins here and now, while we are still alive. Death simply continues the journey we began with Him.

Now imagine this: God reveals to you glimpses of all He has prepared for you—both here and beyond. Imagine a scroll in heaven, bearing your name, filled with the plans and purpose He has written for your life.

God does not define you by what you’re going through. What you see now may be your present, but to Him, it’s already past. He sees what He has called you to be.

> “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord…” — Jeremiah 29:11

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works...” — Ephesians 2:10

His greatest desire is that you align your life through Jesus and step into the path of the redeemed.

Remember, everyone’s journey is different. Don’t waste your life comparing yourself to others. The enemy isn’t after your possessions or popularity—he is after your becoming.

His goal is to keep you distracted from stepping into your full inheritance in Christ.

> “But they, measuring themselves by themselves… are not wise.” — 2 Corinthians 10:12

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” — John 10:10

It’s time to wake up to the truth: this life is not all there is.

> “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.” — 2 Corinthians 13:5

You owe no one an explanation for choosing Jesus. If others mock or misunderstand you, let them. When the Lord calls, He calls you by name, and when He desires to encounter you, He comes to you personally.

So today, choose salvation.

Choose Jesus—because Jesus is freedom.

Jesus is salvation.

And when you do, hold on to this promise:

> “They looked to Him and were radiant,

And their faces were not ashamed.” — Psalm 34:5

He Goes Before You – Just Trust and Obey.

 

“When we walk with the Lord,

In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
When we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.”
— John H. Sammis

Not too long ago, I woke up with a heavy heart. The night before, I had gone to bed discouraged. I had been seeking the Lord about something personal, and the silence felt long. Several times, I found myself waking up in the middle of the night—wrestling, praying, waiting.

That morning, as I went to God in prayer again, the Lord gently laid a scripture on my heart. I’d like to share it with you:

Isaiah 45:2-3 (KJV):
“I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.”

That verse came as an encouragement. The Lord reminded me that He is El Roi—the God who sees. He sees my struggles, hears my unspoken prayers, and goes before me even before I show up. Yes, the road may be crooked, and the path unclear, but He promises to straighten it. Even in darkness, He unveils treasures—lessons, strength, and unexpected blessings.

Friend, I want to remind you today:
God will never break your heart. He knows what’s best for you and is committed to ensuring you receive it in His perfect time. All He asks is that you trust and obey. Align your life with Him. Put strategies in place that reflect your faith. Seek His kingdom first—and watch Him move in response.

He’s not just watching from a distance; He’s involved, intentional, and near. So even when the silence is loud or the answers delayed, remember this:

You are not stranded.
You are not unseen.
You are not alone.

Just trust.

Stay revived. 🌿

Bodies That Fire Has No Power Over - An Identity Not Survival

There’s a constant tune the enemy plays—an old, deceptive rhythm—and it got me thinking deeply. The enemy, the age-old crooked serpent, hasn’t changed strategies. He simply adapts them to times and seasons, replicating situations and circumstances with a heightened sense of “mine is different.” I’ve been caught in that rhythm before. But you know what? The Lord, our God, works in mysterious ways. Often, His greatest mysteries are wrapped in the very moments Satan thought would break us.

Recently, while studying the book of Daniel and the story of the Hebrew boys thrown into the fiery furnace, something clicked. I had known the story since childhood—it felt like a Bible tale. But now, I’ve come to see its reality.

The enemy still binds God’s people and throws them into fiery furnaces—marriages under pressure, broken homes, toxic workplaces, failing businesses, career stagnation, and health crises. And then he waits, hoping to see destruction. He watches to see if we’ll curse the God we serve. But in all his calculations, he forgets one thing: the God we serve is not passive—He is the Great God who shows up as the Fourth Man in the fire. He looses our bonds and causes us to walk free in the midst of the flames.

These Hebrew boys were later described as “men whose bodies the fire had no power over.” God didn’t just give them victory—He gave them an identity. That which the fire could not consume.

Their enemies waited to see them die. But instead, they saw the impossible. “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?”

(Daniel 3:24).  

“Look! I see four men loose, walking in the fire, and they are not hurt… and the fourth is like the Son of God” (Daniel 3:25).

The miracle wasn’t just survival—it was that even in the fire, they walked free.

This is our reminder: we are not alone. Even if we walk through fire, God is in the fire with us—and if God is with us, victory is certain.

God is raising bodies, homes, businesses, and destinies that fire has no power over.

Do you trust God won't break your heart?

God will not break your heart.

God didn't just plan a survival rescue for you, but He wants to raise you up as a gate.

Daniel Called and God Answered

                                       

Where is your heart’s disposition?  

What is your heart fixed on?

While studying the book of Daniel, I realized something profound: Most prophets and priests were first called by God—they heard His voice, received His instruction, and responded. But Daniel’s story was different. He was taken into captivity, bound and constrained physically and culturally. He had every liberty to follow other gods in a foreign land, yet he chose to honour the God of his fathers. Daniel called on God—and God answered.

"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies…" (Daniel 1:8)

As a result, "God gave Daniel Favour
in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs…"  

And "Daniel and his companions were found ten times better…"

Daniel encountered God personally. He placed a demand on God—not just for himself, but for his generation—because he chose a life of consecration. He didn’t only restrain from the king’s meal; he also restrained his heart, fixing it solely on God.

His consecration opened him as a gate of wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual insight—not just in divine matters but in all areas of understanding during his time.

Daniel’s love for God wasn’t based on witnessing miraculous victories. It was rooted in knowing God’s ways. And because of that, God revealed Himself to him.

Are you on the Lord’s side?

Life-changing encounters may not come in the place of comfort, but at the moment we make bold, God-honoring decisions—and run with them.

Daniel may have been a captive, but he experienced true freedom because he fixed his eyes on God. He lived free because he discovered his true identity in God.

Even if your physical circumstances suggest otherwise, you can take a different posture in God. Only He can bring true liberty.

Though Daniel was bound, his life became a sweet melody even to his captors, who called him “the one who has the spirit of the Holy God.” Yahweh wasn’t just an inherited deity—He became Daniel’s personal God.

Daniel called—and God answered.

You may feel bound, but Yahweh is your liberty.

My place of rich fulfilment.

A week ago, during a prayer meeting and Bible discussion, a question came up: “Does God forget?” I knew the answer was no—God doesn’t forget. But in that moment, it didn’t feel so simple. My mind wrestled with the question, and it triggered a flood of memories—both the high points and the painful moments I’ve walked through in life.

The next day, I found myself stuck on this scripture:

Psalm 66:11-12 (NKJV):

“You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich fulfillment.”

In that moment, I realized the question wasn’t just theological—it was deeply personal. It was a reflection of life’s journey with God: from pain to promise, from fire and water to fulfilment.

God is always with us. His hand is in every season—even the painful ones—drawing us through, not to leave us broken, but to bring us into rich fulfilment.

No matter where we find ourselves in life, God is saying, “There is provision for rich fulfilment.” The enemy may think we’ve reached our end, but God declares otherwise. Even when men have trampled us or the fire has tested us, God has brought us out. The past tense in Scripture is intentional—it speaks of a finished, perfect work.

Christ has promised that whether or not we feel His hand in the moment, He has already led us to a place of rich fulfilment.

What ever it is your rich Fulfilment is or you would desire it to be, God's plan for you is rich Fulfilment.

Seeing Beyond the Walls

Yesterday, on my way back from work, I began to ponder and ask the Holy Spirit what I could share with you today. As I reflected, a simple yet profound phrase settled in my heart: “Casting down strongholds.”

Strongholds are not merely physical obstacles. In the spiritual realm, they are invisible walls, fences, and barricades that the enemy establishes to keep God’s children from walking fully in what the Lord has prepared for them. In Hebrew, the word for stronghold is batsaron, meaning a walled fortress. Stronghold is much more than a physical defense—it represents deeply entrenched spiritual and mental blockages that hinder our progress and access to God’s promises.

The Apostle Paul acknowledges the reality of the existence of these strongholds in:

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV)

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God…”

A stronghold is essentially a lie that exalts itself above the truth of God. It often comes with circumstantial "evidence" that seems convincing, so convincing that even believers begin to accept it as truth. These are the moments when, no matter how hard you try, you feel like you’ve hit an invisible ceiling, you just can't break through. Despite your efforts, it feels like nothing is moving forward. Your thoughts begin to feel crowded with smallness, inadequacy, or a sense of hopelessness. That’s the strategy of the enemy: to make the lie feel more real than God’s truth and it is the truth that delivers, it is the truth that sets free.

John 8:32

“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The danger of strongholds lies in their subtlety. They are often formed through mental patterns and emotional responses, reinforced by past experiences, pain, fear, and at times, demonic influence. These strongholds operate beneath the surface, shaping our behavior and choices—even when they contradict truth.

I once observed a recurring response among a group of people—reactions not grounded in truth, but driven by fear, limitation, and spiritual manipulation. Upon closer reflection, it became clear that they were operating from a stronghold: a deeply embedded belief that, though seemingly supported by logic or experience, was ultimately a lie opposing the truth of God's Word.

Many people today are bound by long-standing ways of thinking—habits and patterns that have taken deep root in their minds. Even when they become aware that these ways are not in alignment with reality or Scripture, change feels almost impossible. The mind has been conditioned by the stronghold, and so they continue in the same pattern.

This is why Scripture urges us:

Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

How then do we confront these strongholds?

The answer is found in pursuing truth, truth revealed through Scripture and affirmed by the Holy Spirit. When we locate God’s Word concerning a specific area of struggle and commit to meditating on it, the stronghold begins to lose its grip. The more we resist the lie and embrace the truth, the more the enemy’s strategy crumbles.  Only through the continual renewing of our thoughts with God’s Word can we tear down these walls.

Think of the walls of Jericho. God instructed the Israelites to march around the wall, not with weapons, but with obedience and praise. And on the seventh day, the wall fell.

Joshua 6:20

“When the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.”

In the same way, we must surround our strongholds with God’s Word, prayer, obedience to instructions, and praise. It’s time to shift our focus from the barrier to the breakthrough, because truth always leads to freedom.

Friends, if you’re struggling in a specific area, search the Scriptures for what God has said about it. It may not fall overnight, but as you stay consistent in truth and prayer, you will see change.

And here’s the beautiful part: what once appeared to be an unbreakable wall will be revealed as small in light of God’s power. You’ll come to realize that even the stronghold had a purpose—it drew you deeper into God's Word, strengthened your faith, and brought you closer to Him.

In the end, the battle was not just to break the wall—it was to build you up in truth.

Spiritual Strategy: How to Stay One Step Ahead of Satan

 

It is in Satan’s strategy to always try. He knows he will ultimately fail, but he keeps testing us—watching for our reactions. When we respond the way he hopes, he uses that as an entry point to gain a foothold in our lives.

Scripture tells us, “Surely they shall gather…” (Isaiah 54:15). That means Satan and his agents will surely come against us. But the verse doesn’t end there—it continues, “…but not by Me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” So even though he tries, every gathering that is not from the Lord will be scattered.

The devil is not omnipresent. What he does is set up structures and strategies that carry out his plans in his absence. That’s why he can seem to be in Mr. A’s house and Mr. B’s house at the same time—because of the systems he has in place.

But we serve a God who is the greatest strategist of all time. Just look at the lives of David and Joshua. Their God-given strategies always led them to victory in times of war.

So, what should we do when faced with repeated circles of demonic occurrences?

We must also build Godly strategies. We must be intentional—because as we grow spiritually, the enemy shifts his tactics to try to match our growth. He may come through familiar spirits, which often feel stronger than new ones, but they are not greater than our God, so the end point is same Failure.

The key is consistency:

• Be consistent in your prayer life.

• Walk and work in holiness.

• Renounce every ungodly altar and reject spiritual “toys” that seem harmless but are not of God.

• Continually pursue the Word of God. To live triumphantly, you must make God's word your favorite book.

Make it a habit to fan the flames of God’s presence in our lives. Read scripture daily. Pray. Obey every prompt from the Holy Spirit, because He never misleads. He doesn’t lie—not because He chooses not to, but because He is the Truth. There is no falsehood in Him.

Trust Him, and He will lead you into total deliverance.

Amen.

God is Intentional.

How do you trade with a God who is intentional in every season and every point of His creatures’ existence? While God desires that we depend on Him for all our needs and allow Him shape our lives, He also wants us to ask deliberate questions and seek out His purpose for us.

That’s why He often places before us two parallels—two options. Though He gives us the freedom to choose, He lovingly beckons us to choose life. The all-seeing God already knows the end of every path we might take, yet He offers us the gift of choice.

It’s one thing to seek God’s counsel—are we truly willing to follow it?

When we let God plan our lives, He walks us through processes, stages, and seasons. But when we step outside His leading, we may face breaks. Still, the beauty of God is this: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). He meets us where we are and brings beauty even out of brokenness.

To walk with an intentional God, we must come with the right questions, posture, and intent. And when we grow weary, He has already made provision to strengthen us.

Even when we don’t have the answers or the right questions, if we submit our will to Him, He transforms our lives.

Go out today knowing God is fully invested in you. Man may judge you by your past choices, but when you come to God, He gives you new help and fresh mercy.

Fire built in a place of consistency.

Very recently, a close relative was microwaving when a cockroach suddenly ran out of the oven. It was unexpected, but it triggered a reflection: When we remain consistently on fire for the Lord, He causes the hidden things—things that shouldn't be within us—to be exposed and brought out.

In this moments  the Lord desires that we be honest with ourselves—honest enough to acknowledge what He reveals within us. But honesty alone is not enough; we must put strategies in place to ensure these things do not return and it is to be on fire always.

The fire of God represents many things. It can be:

• His Presence and His Glory – “The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire…” (Exodus 24:17); “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire…” (Deuteronomy 4:24).
• His Judgment and Vengeance – “The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them” (Psalm 21:9); “Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them… the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy” (Zephaniah 1:18).

The presence of God brings liberty—a freedom that cannot be known unless it has been truly encountered. When people say, “There is light at the end of the tunnel,” it’s often a sign of recognizing God’s presence in situatons that seems dark and his glory in form of a light at the e d of the tunnel. When we draw nearer to Him, He begins to release His presence in portions, preparing us to eventually walk in His fullness.

Yes, we may not fully know God until we meet Him in eternity, but He longs to reveal deeper dimensions of His glory to those who sincerely desire His presence to lead and guide them.

The fire of the Lord manifests in different ways:

• It can instruct—like when Moses encountered the burning bush.
• It can guide—as it did for the Israelites on their way to the Promised Land.
• It can purify, consume, or judge—depending on what God desires to accomplish.

God is Sovereign. His fire, His presence, His instructions—they all work together. When we begin to recognize that in Him is the beginning, then we also understand that He is the Author of fire itself; its purpose, power, and purity.

The enemy fears a man or woman who carries this fire, because he knows it has the power to consume, expose, sort, and judge.

So friends, pray. Ask the Holy Spirit—the greatest strategist—to help you encounter and sustain a consistent flow of God's fire in your life.

Shalom Shalom – Uninterrupted Divine Peace

 

And may the Lord give you Shalom Shalom. A while back, I attended an online service, and this was their closing charge. I was familiar with hearing “shalom,” but the emphasis—"shalom shalom"—stood out. I thought it simply meant "peace upon peace," but when I searched deeper into the Hebrew meaning, I discovered it signifies complete, divine peace.

At every point in our lives, the enemy fashions his most potent weapon—unrest and distress—against us. I’ve noticed that whenever I dedicate time to bless the Lord and seek Him, I often face situations that challenge my peace of mind. In those moments, rather than focusing on God, my attention shifts to the very things trying to rob my peace.

That’s the enemy’s strategy: "Oh, she’s gaining strength in consecration—let’s take away her peace." It often starts subtly—a mistake, a misunderstanding, something not even your fault—yet it steals your focus and fills your day with distractions. Suddenly, instead of seeking God’s face for direction, your prayers become pleas for strength and calm.

He attacks our peace because with joy, we draw from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3). And joy is tied to peace.

But today, choose to take the posture of Shalom Shalom. It’s not something we can create on our own—we’re up against the devices of the crafty—but we can draw divine peace from the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Even when life feels chaotic and loud, we can fix our minds on God, because His Word says:

"You will keep him in perfect peace (shalom shalom), whose mind is stayed on You..."  

— Isaiah 26:3

Are you worried about meeting the needs of your home or family? God promises you divine peace. Even when the enemy throws bombs at your marriage, God is saying, "I will keep you in perfect peace—just focus on Me and My Word."

And as we face today’s pressures and anxieties, God says: "I’ve got a package you can access." It may not instantly end the sickness or the business crisis, but it provides a covering for your mental, emotional, and spiritual health—a covering of complete, divine peace.

May God’s Shalom Shalom be your compass in every aspect—body, mind, soul, and surroundings.

May these words be more than just a greeting. May they be the key that unlocks a door of blessing.

Has God said...

Recently, I came to a moment where I reflected on the personal word that God spoke to me and how I have come to live by it. Has God ever given you a personal word? Or perhaps, while studying scripture, certain verses jumped out at you and resonated deeply? Yet, after those words come forth, you might still find yourself searching for the meaning behind them. The truth is, these moments stir within us a desire to birth a reality and possibility that can only manifest through God. After pressing into Him, we often hear just one word—or if we are lucky, a sentence, or even fragments of sentences.

As I woke from a deep sleep, I fell again into a lighter sleep, and I experienced what I can only describe as an open vision. In that moment, I heard God saying to me, "You will not lose your way." At first, I didn’t pause to reflect; I simply woke up and continued praying about something else. However, shortly after, I made a drastic decision and found myself thrown into a turbulence of emotions. Days later, during prayer, the words resonated again: "You will not lose your way"  

Deuteronomy 31:8 became my key verse:

Whatever it is we have heard and seen in God's word, just like an African praise and worship song says, "That settles it." 

As long as God has spoken, He has made every provision available. So, when you face the wall, you will either see it crumble, or you will cross over it with the help of The Great One.

Lift Up Your Hands — Heaven Responds

A close relative recently shared a dream with me. It may have seemed like just a dream, but it carried a clear revelation of the enemy’s strategy—and God’s instruction for the season.

She said, “We will pray about it.”
So we left for church.

During praise and worship, the minister raised a song that went:
“Put your hands in the air, I see favor in the air.”

As I lifted my hands in worship, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper:
“Fight, and you will win.”

Immediately, my mind went to the story of Moses in Scripture, during the battle with the Amalekites.
Whenever Moses' hand was raised, Israel prevailed. When his hands dropped, the enemy prevailed. And so it became clear—our hands are not ordinary.
They are the outstretched arms of the hand of God.
When the Lord lifts His hand, it’s not to dance—it’s to take action and to exercise power.

Exodus 15:3
“The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name.”

Exodus 15:6
“Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.”

God is still in the business of fighting for His people.
When we lift our hands in prayer or worship, we are not simply making a gesture—we are inviting the Lord to step in and take over the battle.

In this second half of the year, I bring you a gentle but urgent reminder:
Stir the heavens with prayer. Let God raise His hand on your behalf.

Remember the Battle with Amalek

The Bible records in Exodus 17:10–13:

So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek.
And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it.
And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Moses raised his hands—and victory came.
But now, we have the Lord Himself living in us.
When we lift our hands, we are not just lifting flesh—we are engaging the Mighty Man of War.

The Bible says we are surrounded by an innumerable company of angels (Hebrews 12:22).
So when we war in prayer and lift up holy hands, heaven and angels awaits the instruction we want to give.
When our hands are lifted in obedience, the Lord takes over the fight.

In this season, may your spirit remain sensitive.
When the Lord prompts you to lift up your hand, know this:
It is not just your hand that is raised—it is God’s hand of divine intervention.

And just like in the days of Moses,
as long as the hand of the Lord is lifted in your camp—you will not be defeated. 

Stay revived!

Responding to the Dreams That Stir Your Spirit

A few nights ago, I woke in the middle of the night from a dream. I couldn’t fully recall the details at first, but I knew—deep down—it wasn’t a good dream. As I lay there, I began to pray in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, trying to press into the realm of the Spirit for clarity. I kept praying, and after a few minutes, the dream came back to me. I remembered—and I persisted in prayer until I felt a release in my spirit. Then, the Holy Ghost impressed a scripture on my heart.

So, what do we do with dreams that don’t sit right with us? Do we shrug them off and say, “Maybe I just ate too much,” or “It’s just one of those things”? As children of God, we must understand that dreams are one of the ways God speaks to us.

“For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds…”
— Job 33:14–15

He reveals what is, what has been, and what is to come through dreams. But when we consistently neglect or downplay these spiritual impressions, it’s not that God stops speaking—He continues. However, something powerful happens when we begin to take them seriously: they begin to take root in our hearts, and their reality becomes more vivid in our lives.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”
— Proverbs 25:2

Our response to spiritual promptings, whether through dreams, visions, or divine nudges, can either pacify, intensify, or stagnate the challenges we face. We carry the Spirit of the Lord within us, and He is always seeking ways to communicate with us. When He speaks through dreams, He desires our response. Don’t dismiss it.

The economy of Jesus invites us into divine partnership if we let Him lead; He navigates our lives according to His perfect will. We see a vivid example in the life of Joseph. The Bible does not record many direct encounters Joseph had with God, but it does emphasize his dreams. These were pictures he held on to, and through them, he was convinced that the Lord was with him, even in the pit and prison.

Friends, even if you’ve never heard God speak audibly, He may have already given you pictures, visions, impressions, and dreams that serve as proof of His presence with you. We are entering a season of divine shift—governments will change, systems will realign, and wealth will be redistributed. God is preparing His people to build structures that will matter in this coming era.

The question is: will you sit with what He has shown you? Will you search it out? Will you prepare for relevance in the season of the shift?

Stay Revived!

Do not be silenced.

We were created in the image of God—not just to exist, but to live out His fullness here on earth as mighty warriors under the authority of the Mighty Man of War.

But what happens when chaos surrounds us?
How do you hold on to this identity when the horn has sounded, the war is raging, and the enemy is already in your yard?

It’s time to wake up.
Your yard has been invaded, and many are still keeping cool—passive, unaware.
Heaven is waiting.
Waiting for the instructions we declare, so they can be carried out in the spirit.

“You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.”
— Job 22:28 (NKJV)

Christianity without Christ is powerless.
He is the One who teaches us how to pray, how to fight, and how to live in victory.
Don’t be one who wears a polished outward image, yet remains spiritually blind to the fact that life is a battlefield.
There is no neutral ground.

You must awaken to your divine purpose and face the situations before you with heaven’s strategy.
These are not strategies of flesh—they are only revealed in the place of spiritual warfare.

And the good news? Victory is possible—but only for those who take the right posture.

It takes courage to fight when your prayers seem unanswered.
The battlefield may look manageable at first, but as the fight continues, blood is shed.
But don’t forget that the blood required for your freedom has already been shed: the blood of Jesus.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
— Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

Be resilient. Persist. Victory is ahead.

We weren’t created in God's image just to sit behind counters and accept whatever life gives us.
We were made in the image of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—which means we carry the strength, authority, and character of the Trinity.

We cannot be calm when our spiritual walls are being broken down.
We cannot settle when life contradicts the Word of the Lord concerning us.
We cannot remain still when we’re becoming a shadow of the very image He called us to bear.

Some say, “Why always pray? Why always war?”
But remember: the world is filled with both good and evil, and God allows the rain to fall on both.
If you remain silent concerning your pain, your oppression, your battles—He also watches you.

“He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
— Matthew 5:45 (NKJV)

If you stay silent in suffering, it will persist.
If you ignore the war, you leave your gates unguarded.

There is a posture required in warfare—your mind must align with heaven’s agenda.
You must discern when to move, when to wait, and when to rise.
Victory belongs to those who fight with divine strategy, not human strength.

So take your place.
This is more than spiritual warfare—this is a mindset shift, a cultural shift, a behavioral shift.
You are a warrior. We will not be silenced.
