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.

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.
