ARROWS IN THE HANDS OF A RIGHTEOUS GOD
ARROWS IN THE HANDS OF A RIGHTEOUS GOD
“Arrows in the hands of a Righteous God.” This was the word that struck my spirit during a national prayer conference the day before the mid-term elections. Earlier in the week, I was reminded of Jonathan Edward’s book, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” When I heard THIS phrase, I knew the Father was calling us to a specific assignment from heaven as the wickedness in high places of our nation are coming down.
I saw the Father standing with bow in hand and the zeal of the Lord in His eyes. He had placed an arrow in His bow and was taking aim with an intense and fervent eye towards a target. He had a fixed gaze as He spoke:
“I CALL YOU MY ARROWS. I have chosen you to be My arrows of truth and justice to a world system that has corrupted My ways. I AM bringing My righteousness to the dark corners, the hidden places, even the high places where My justice has been manipulated for wicked intent and poisoned by the flesh of man. I have dipped you in My blood and I am sending you forth with divine authority to pierce the serpent’s head and sever the works of the evil one.
I have prepared YOU to be my deadly weapons and fiery shafts to penetrate those demonic strongholds with My truth and My justice (Ps 7:12-13). You have been designed, set apart, and prepared to hit a specific target. Allow My Spirit to send you forth with power and authority into those places where I am aiming.
There are designated spots in these high places where man cannot go in his own flesh and cunning. I call you to be flexible in My hands in order to position you and direct you where to go. Posture your hearts and make straight your paths before Me, for you will only hit the target as you go along the straight paths.
I do not war as man does. I do not war on the defense. I am always on the offense and YOU are my weapons of choice! YOU are the ones I choose to GO and strike the death blow to the plots and schemes of those who think they can overpower Me and outwit My plans. YOU are the ones to be sent forth in great numbers, for there will be a HAILSTORM OF ARROWS in the land as I release My chosen ones into the fields of harvest in the governmental realms of authority in the nation. Yes, these DARK PLACES are the places of harvest, for the enemy has many of My choice vessels under siege and in darkness.
My light goes before you and will shatter the darkness as you go. You must speak that which I tell you, do that which I instruct you, and follow where I lead you. Bring out the captives! Bring out the spoils! Do not fear the darkness, but head straight into it as I release the wind of My spirit behind you.
Ask for My EYES that you might see what I see. Ask for My GAZE, that you might fix your sights as a laser on My target without fear. Ask for My INTELLIGENCE which will reveal the hidden secrets to access the enemy’s gates. I will give you supernatural utterances to release in those places where My Word has been restrained by Deceit and Mockery. It is My WORD and SOUND inside of you that will shatter the airwaves and demolish the strongholds of the second heaven.
BE MY ARROWS! Be confident in this. Do not waver and do not look to the LEFT or the RIGHT, but to MY TARGET. My righteousness WILL prevail, for YOU are the arrows in My hand.”
But God shoots His arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what He has done. (Ps 64:7-9 ESV)

May we be as “arrows in the hands of our Righteous God”!!
“Endue us with power from above”
O Lord, to be sent forth STRAIGHT to the target!
I join in with the prayers of you brothers and sisters in Christ. Rise up fellow Americans and walk the narrow path which leads to eternal life and victory. Do not look to the left or right but focus on the God of our Salvation! He has called each one of us for such a time as this.
I believe we will stand beside others who do God’s will in this way. Psalm 78:49 (NIV) says, “He unleashed against them His hot anger, His wrath, indignation, and hostility – a band of destroying angels. May Wanda’s challenge be taken up by us all. It is a call to victory in His Name.
Yes, I believe God wants to use us as His arrows but He cannot use arrows that are warped by walking the crooked paths of this culture. He cannot use dull arrows that have not been sharpened by the Word of God. He is looking for arrows that have the fire of God on them.
The American church is warming itself by the fires of the ungodly. This culture has changed the Church instead of the Church changing the culture. Jesus said repent to 5 out of seven churches of Asia in Revelations 2 and 3.
I believe we must humble ourselves in fasting, repenting and praying before we can be used as sharp, on fire arrows of the Almighty.
One more thought, Most people seem to waiting (and I believe Hoping) for rescue; for the “Coming of the Lord” to rescue them/us from troubles and tribulations, that he is coming soon for that purpose. I do not quite feel that; (soon is a relative word, could be today, tomorrow or a thousand years) I have more of a sense that God is working in many ways small and large and he may be planning something great and dramatic right here among the the believers and shocking to everyone, esp. unbelievers, AND my constant thought is: HOW MANY WILL BE READY AND PREPARED FOR WHAT GOD IS GOING TO DO AND HOW; will I, will you? I get a sense from a lot of these postings on IFA that many Religious/Prayer leaders are expecting some kind of work of God and revival of spirit and faith. Just my rambling thoughts and opinion. Lord Prepare our hearts and minds for what you are doing and going to do; let us seek your wisdom and your guidance and your Mercy.
The Fear,of the Lord is not something you ever forget once encountered. (In this issue,fear means fear).
Powerful message that I will take to heart in this year. Faith that I am changing the atmosphere by crying out to a powerful God who is always good and cares.
Yes, Holy Father we are your arrows !.You are a Righteous God! We bow down in praise. We rise in thanksgiving in Jesus’ Name.
Yes, God, I come in agreement with Carolyn in every word. This is a powerful message and one I will take to heart. I am sensing that your Spirit is starting a work and we do not yet know all the places and ways. Let in begin in me, as a faithful Prayer Warrior for my nation and it’s peoples and for my “church” family and where I might spread a seed or encourage a heart and life. Above all, we know you are in Control of all things and you will work all things in your timing and ways, not always to our understanding and not for our pleasure, but your pleasure and glorification. Thank you Oh God for your Mercy and Your Grace.
I prayed several times throught the word Wanda recieved from GOD. I will continue to need it, so I’m printing it off to fold and keep in my purse wherever I go. We are going out into the Eorld as THE LORDS Army.
We are to be like JOHN THE BAPTIST in for our generation…
What does John 1:23 mean?
Look at the commentary section…
https://www.bibleref.com/John/1/John-1-23.html
The LORD says of John the Baptist in JOHN 1:23
He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
So I see us all together as a great sea of VOICES CRYING out across the world “REPENT! MAKE STRAIGHT YOUR WAYS. GET PREPARED! GET YOUR HOUSE AND FAMILY IN ORDER! BE HOLY UNTO THE LORD….BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING AND WILL JUDGE WITH HIS SCALE. DARE TO BE A DANIEL AND THROW OFF THE DEAD MAN, NEBUCHADNEZZAR! WE ARE IN PARALLEL TIMES! ALL WILL BE WEIGHED ON THE LORDS SCALE. DON’T BE FOUND “WANTING”!
Erin you are so right. This is such a timely word from the Lord. I am just now going back into this to print out and put into my Bible for every day prayer. When God speaks, we are fully ready and waiting to hear every word proceeding from His mouth.
We were created for such a time as this. Let us all make the very most of it to the fullest.
God bless all you intercessors,
Andrea
I agree in Jesus mighty name! AMEN!
The battle is Lord’s! Like God gave George Washington,the small Continental army,the new Congress victory over oppression, God gives victory to the righteous. May His great will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. May the 👿 destructive plans be reversed. May pawns of evil be exposed, removed and God’s 🇺🇸honest patriotic men and women arise.🦅 God hears the prayers of the 💒Godly,the💎righteous faithful.
Yes! God, may the destructive plans be reversed in Jesus name amen.
thank you Lord, for honoring us, your beloved for this high calling. May we hear only your voice saying “walk here” as we look to you to pray. Justice is what we are dying for, our Truth, thank you for using so mightily our prayers in bringing about the downfall of the great evil in our country and Europe, releasing a great revival. May we allow your Spirit to send us forth in power and authority, through prayer, to the appointed targets. Be a wall of fire around us, Lord, and keep us holy to do this work. In Jesus name, Amen
I read this article over twice. It is perfect to meditate on at the start of this new new year. Especially compelling was the line: “I have dipped you in My blood and I am sending you forth with divine authority to pierce the serpent’s head and sever the works of the evil one”. Be My arrows. Be confident in this! Do not waver! Look to My target. Don’t look any other place! Remember Lot’s wife. She looked back. The two angels instructed her not to do that! Gen. 19:17 “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plains. Escape to the mountains lest you be destroyed”. My prayerful arrows are aimed this morning in the direction of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. “Dear Lord Jesus, we praise you for appointing a President who is bold as a Lion. Please guide our President as he reasons with the Dems. I know only You can open the eyes of the Dems. to the fact that ignoring border security is going to hurt them in the eyes of the American people. Father, let that sink in to their psyche! Father, we are praying, fasting and waiting on you to change hearts, reveal truth, expose evil and break down the demonic strongholds (Psalm 7:12-13). Father, would Your stir your people to send a “hailstorm of arrows”, prayers from us to Senators and Representatives about our deep concern for the safety of our nation’s people and its Godly heritage which is being threatened? We do not fear the darkness, but head straight into it! We know you will release the wind of Your Spirit behind us to move us along in a straight path which pleases U. Thank U for Wanda. Would you please put a hedge of protection around her, her household and around all that she has on every side? We appreciate these articles. Thank you for giving her Your wisdom to share with us. In Jesus precious name, Amen.”
Thank you for this beautiful comment. I am totally on agreement with you. May we all be obedient to God’s word spoken through this person. God is with us and He is using us because He is coming soon. Does not want anyone to be left behind.
I also agree with you in Jesus’s Precious Name that the Holy Spirit will supernaturally move in the lives of all those in Congress who oppose national security and convict them of their responsibility to defend our borders and I pray that they will end their resistance to border security and agree to all the funding requested — and to bless Wanda back for her ministry, too. These words of encouragement are so inspiring to me to pray even more and as a powerful reminder of how important prayer is because it gives God the justification to act.
Amen, amen. We are praying without ceasing and now more encouraged than ever.
