Where the body of Christ sees devastation and turmoil, division and destruction, chaos and anger encircling us and ensnaring many – the Lord is doing His thing.  He wastes nothing.  He is in the restoration business.  He is resurrecting an army of dry, dead bones!  He is raising us up – the remnant army – empowering, equipping and establishing His people!  He is breathing new life into the ONES who will carry out His will and bring His Kingdom to earth as it is in heaven.

His Glory is encircling the earth.  Of His Kingdom, there is no end (Luke 1:33).

There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.  (Isaiah 9:7 NASB)

How do establish that which already exists in the heavenlies?

Pray for our spiritual eyes of discernment to be opened and to then speak – to speak clearly and truthfully with little room for confusion.  We are called to, if it is possible, to live at peace with everyone (Romans 12:18).  What we are NOT called to do is to ignore the darkness that is shrouded in light.  We are called to bring the darkness INTO the light!  We do not belong to the darkness but are called to be sons and daughters of the light (1 Thessalonians 5:5) and to carry a light that is evident for all to see.  Fear should not hold us in bondage to the darkness nor the acceptance or tolerance of such.

Pray for the Church to rise up and own her platform (and find it if she has forgotten what she is called to carry).  This is not a numbers thing.  Often times God can do far more with less.  The smaller the army, the great attention can be paid to detail, strategy and a battle plan.  We all hear the ONE voice of the commander in chief and THEN we can confidently go out and enlist others for the King’s Army.  And even then, the war cry will not need to be passed from one battalion commander to another.  We KNOW our shepherd’s voice and will not listen to another (John 10:4, 5).

It’s not the size of the army.  It’s the cohesiveness, the unison, and the commitment to ONE strategic plan to take down the enemy and his “dominion.”

The Lord God Most High is astonishing, awesome beyond words!

He’s the formidable and powerful King over all the earth.

He’s the one who conquered the nations before us

and placed them all under our feet…

God arises with the earsplitting shout of his people!

God goes up with a trumpet blast!

Sing and celebrate! Sing some more, celebrate some more!

Sing your highest song of praise to our King!

For God is the triumphant King; the powers of earth are all his.

So sing your celebration songs of highest praise

to the glorious Enlightened One!

Our God reigns over every nation.

He reigns on his holy throne over all.

All the nobles and princes,

the loving servants of the God of Abraham,

they all gather to worship.

Every warrior’s shield is now lowered

as surrendered trophies before this King.

He has taken his throne, high and lofty, exalted over all!  (Psalm 47:2-3, 5-9 TPT)

I wonder if the strategy and greatest weapon is built on the foundation of WORSHIP.  You ask, “Who is this Glory-King?” The Lord, armed and ready for battle, the Mighty One, invincible in every way! (Psalm 24:8 TPT).  We worship our King, the name above EVERY OTHER NAME- above every principality, above every world leader and office of government…and there is no darkness too dark for Him (Psalm 139:11-12).

Let’s unify in the place of worship!  We see this happening all across this nation.  Where protests and riots have abounded, we also see throngs of people flooding to many of those same places to lift high the name of Jesus!  We were created to be a people of praise!

Pray for us to be a people rightly aligned and purpose from that place.  Pray for us to be established to a place of holiness and righteousness (Proverbs 14:34).  Pray again for the fear of the Lord to enrapture the heart of His people and of this nation.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.  (Psalm 89:14 NIV)

(R)ighteousness and justice are the bedrock of His rule. Fire precedes Him; it burns away His opponents on all sides. (Psalm 97:2b-3 VOICE)

For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.  (Isaiah 6:9 NASB)

As we pray for revival, as we pray for a move, as we pray a return to our first love and a fire in our walk – let’s also pray for a supernatural onslaught of His presence – for it is His presence on the scene that changes everything!

Lord God, we pray for Your name to be lifted high over this nation today.  YOU are the only one who can usher in the winds of change and revival.  We pray that we, Your Church, would establish ourselves on You, Your Word and Your Glory.  Help us step into this season with growing eyes of discernment and clear understanding of the way in which we should walk.  Let us be a people rightly aligned with You and Your purposes.  Let us be a people marked by holiness and righteousness – that we might reflect Your Glory!  YOURS is the NAME above all other names – let us live in light of that Truth today, especially as we prepare for and pray for the upcoming elections.  We need YOUR Spirit to move!  We need Your breath and Your fire to step up and be Your voice.  Raise up Your Church to stand on the platform of the great “I AM” – for there is NO other foundation that will do.  We lift high Your name and worship You O King of Kings!  We press into You and Your voice today.  In Jesus’ holy and precious name, Amen.
