“You have My word, you’ll not go under, but you will come out with plunder.”

As dawn broke one morning, just before awakening fully, I heard these profound words spoken to me by the Lord. A sense of recognition washed over me, as they echoed from a prophecy I had received back in 2007—an astonishing seventeen years ago. The weight of those words brought me back to that moment. The prophecy in its entirety is below.

Post a prayer for your state!

Now in your heart as you do ponder, I will take you over yonder, saith God.

For it is here I’ve brought you near, do not worry and have no fear.

Just go on and through the door, for there I’m going to give you more.

No, don’t wait, don’t hesitate, it’s in your hands, I’ve got your fate.

Step in my step and in my stride, for I am there, right by your side.

You’ve got my word, you’ll not go under, but will come out with plunder.

As you do the things I’ve asked of you, I will cause your dreams to come true.

Now, I will make it all to be well, as you do have the world to tell.

And I will cause you to see, for as you know, it’s all about Me, saith God.

March 5, 2007

After all these years, God was reminding me and reiterating these precious words spoken to me during a time I really needed to hear from God. Still…I had not thought of them in many, many years.

What does plunder mean? To recover or to spoil. It also means to rob of goods or valuables by force. The Bible says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. (See Mt 11:12) I believe God reminded me of this word and told me it is time to plunder. It’s time to take back, recover, and spoil the enemy’s camp.

I began to pray about exactly how to do that and God led me to one scripture.

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. (1 Tim 1:18)

God was reminding me and instructing me to bring in the plunder. How? As scripture states, we WAR with the prophetic words we have been given. Those may be words for you personally or for our nation. The Word of God says we wage a GOOD warfare if we war with the words we have been given prophetically.

The New Living Translation says it like this: Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles.

Prophetic words serve as vital weapons in our spiritual battles, imbued with the power of divine inspiration directly from God. They are not just simple phrases; rather, they are sacred declarations meant to encourage, uplift, and fortify us as we navigate the challenges of life. These words carry the essence of God’s guidance, unfolding His intricate plans for our futures, whether they pertain to our individual journeys or the broader narrative of our nation. It is essential that we hold these proclamations close to our hearts, never losing sight of their significance and the strength they provide in times of struggle.

Throughout our nation’s history, numerous profound prophetic declarations have been uttered, each holding incredible significance. These powerful words serve as a vital component of our spiritual arsenal, infusing us with strength and purpose as we navigate the challenges ahead.

Today, I feel strongly compelled to share a message that I believe was placed on my heart by the Lord. It’s not just about the words He has spoken to me; it’s also about the action He has urged me to take regarding those words. I sense that He is inviting you to revisit and revive any prophetic words you may have set aside over the years. Perhaps, like me, it has been quite some time since you first received those words, and they may have faded into the background of your life.

Now is the moment to dust them off, to bring them back into the light. Begin to boldly declare these promises over your life and over our nation. Use them as a powerful weapon in your spiritual journey—wage good warfare with these truths. Speak them with conviction until they resonate deep within your spirit and become intertwined with your very being. Allow your heart to burn with a renewed passion to witness the fulfillment of those words. Until, at last, you begin to see them manifest in your life.

With every fiber of my being, I am convinced that it is time for the Body of Christ to emerge triumphantly, carrying the treasures extracted from the battles we have faced. One powerful way we can achieve this is through the prophetic words that have been spoken over our lives—words filled with divine potential and purpose. Armed with these prophetic declarations, we must engage in righteous warfare, one that is marked by faith and determination. By doing so, we will witness the unfolding of God’s promises in our lives, transforming our hopes for our family and our nation into reality.
