During my quiet time with the Lord, He led me to Psalm 31. Psalm 31:19 stood out to me: “How great is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear You. You lavish it on those who come to You for protection, blessing them before the watching world.”

I then had a vision: I looked up to the sky and saw fast moving clouds and the Lord reached down and lifted me up high above them. The clouds began to gather together and swirl in a circular motion like that of a hurricane. I could sense a mighty storm coming but not one to fear for I could see His mighty hand moving in a circular motion causing the clouds to obey His movements. This was a Holy Storm coming!

The clouds darkened and I could see lightning flashing in it. Suddenly I saw these clouds form a giant funnel like a tornado but instead of causing destruction it was eliminating destructive elements from the earth. I watched it move over the United States and where evil destructive elements were hiding, were now exposed and sucked up into the Holy Storm. I could hear shrieks and cries. Many were afraid but many more were rejoicing for they had the veils removed to see from the Lord’s perspective. As they sought Him for better understanding, they were able to see His mighty hand at work to expose and remove the evil strongholds against His church.

As the Holy Storm continued to move across the United States, the land that remained behind it’s path was bright and luscious with fast growth. Nothing was dull. The colors were so bright and crisp. No darkness overshadowed these cultivated lands.

I then saw armies moving across the land, Heavenly Armies clothed in the Lord’s full armor. Confident in His strength, wielding the sword of the Spirit and clutching the shield of faith, moving forth to attack evil head on, bringing peace to the people, ministering to the wounded.

The Lord’s Heavenly Army, His Church is rising up. It is time. Enough is enough. Not by power, nor by might, but by Your Spirit Lord. It is time. A holy reckoning is coming and moving quickly, gathering more numbers and speed as it moves.

Next, I was back on the ground, in my room writing with an urgency and heavenly mandate to sound the alarm – sound the clarion call to rise up and pick up our mighty weapons to pull down evil strongholds and conquer.

Pick up your pens those called to write! Pick up your mics those called to speak. Lift your voices in declaration that the Lord is good and just. He is our Deliverer.

Intercessors do not grow weary. Prayer Warriors rest in Him and regain your strength and then rise again.

Church, do not be silenced! Know that we win and each one of us has a vital role. Seek the Lord for your part in His great plan.

We the Church are the Lord’s hands and feet to both minister and to war – advancing His Kingdom. It is time to Rise, Rise Again, and Rise Above. It is time to advance, minister, pray, declare, and conquer. No compromise. Go in His strength and divine purpose this very day.

Psalm 18:28-36 – “For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.”
