A Vision of our final days on Earth.

Posted on 04/16/2026 | Leave a comment

I take this seriously, and I have no agenda other than trying my best to obey the Lord and adequately steward what He has given me. I understand that the Lord uses vivid imagery to communicate and much of the time man gets the interpretation of these images wrong.

This kind of thing doesn’t always happen to me. This is an account of several visions and prophetic experiences I had over a 9-day period at the end of July and the beginning of August 2021. I believe this is a warning to the Body of Christ. These visions and experiences came with strong personal correction and great encouragement from the Lord.

          These are the things He has specifically shown and told me about the days ahead that we must all face. I must admit it challenged my beliefs to the core and eventually changed many of the beliefs I held for 33 years.

Please read this prayerfully. It has humbled me tremendously. It is a sickening feeling when you realize you have been deceived for decades. I pray that only His truth is revealed in this, not my ideas. Amen.

          I am not going into all the details of these visions and encounters, just the things I feel like the Lord was emphasizing. One of the first things he caused me to see was that the seventh trumpet marks the beginning of the “Day of the Lord.”

That Great Day is not a single day as we would understand it, but it is many days, possibly 8 months to a year. I am not sure why the Lord emphasized the length and meaning of “the day of the Lord,” I am just relaying information.

          Another thing the Lord emphasized was that the Elect are the ones chosen to be alive at this magnificent revelation of Jesus Christ. The Elect are the Church and the 144000 combined. Both groups of people have the high honor of going through the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen or will see and shining through it all.

The Lord put a strong emphasis on the fact that those alive during the great tribulation (the Church and the 144000 Remnant) have one of the highest honors in Heaven. It is one of the greatest honors ever given to a man and the entire Host of Heaven is wide-eyed in anticipation of seeing what we do with it and how this plays out. It will be marked in the books of Heaven as some of mankind’s finest moments.

The Word of the Lord came to me during the second vision and said:

“The greatest outpouring of my Spirit the world has ever seen will only come with tribulation. If my people are not braced for what’s coming, they are far more likely to mishandle the anointing and be crushed by the trials.”

          We have been praying for revival and the outpouring of the Spirit as promised in scripture. This is what comes with it. The greater the tribulation, the greater the outpouring.

          When the 7th trumpet starts to blow, God marks the 144000 on the forehead. This is not seen in their physical bodies. They are marked in the spirit realm where all demons are acutely aware of who they are, and they don’t dare touch them. I saw demonized people flee in terror when they get too close to one of the 144000 and at this time all are under strong demonic influence. I witnessed crowds of demonized people watch these chosen, marked Jews from a distance because the demons in them won’t let them get too close. The 144000, as well as the Church, are perplexed by this behavior. They couldn’t understand why this was happening for months. Until the Remnant started receiving their salvation.

          The 7th trumpet blast is no short blast of the trumpet. The initial sound of the trumpet is audible and shocks the entire world. The fear of the Lord falls on the entire planet. The sound does not stop! The trumpet continues to blow for months driving the demonized people mad, but the Church will recognize the trumpet for what it is after a few days.

          Later I noticed the language used in Revelation 10:7

“but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”

This scripture confirmed to me that what I saw and heard was from the Lord. It will be a sound of hope to us who have the Spirit. It is the sound of that trumpet that strengthens us to walk through the fire and be strong in tribulation. That last long trumpet blast is God’s great mercy to the bride of Christ so that she can strengthen herself to “love not her own life unto death.” This will become the bride without spot or wrinkle that the Lord is coming back for.

          The 144000 that He chooses will be devout Jewish believers that deny Christ is the Messiah. They will sincerely love God, but not according to knowledge. (Rom 10:1-2) In God’s great love and mercy, He takes them and marks them. They represent the original olive branches that were cut off so the gentiles could be grafted in. They will be grafted back into the olive root. This is God’s Remnant.

          The Remnant will be tormented during the tribulation but not killed. Their torment will be mild compared to the torment and persecution the Church goes through, but it will continue until every last one of the 144000 confesses Jesus as Lord. Through Jesus alone is the only way into Heaven and God won’t violate His word, chosen people or not.

          The salvation of the 144000 Jews seemed to take around 8 months to almost one year. I saw them suffering persecution those extra months after the seventh trumpet blows (the LAST trumpet) and we, the Church will suffer with them. Both groups will have faith that will be gold tried in the fire. The 144000 will watch the Church be tried, tested, tortured, abused, and killed while they are going through this strange process that I will describe now.

          The 144000 had begun to gravitate together in groups because they were treated so differently from anyone else. They had a noticeably easier time in the tribulation than everyone else and this is one of the things that God uses to bring them together fast. I was very clear that this was somehow an act of mercy upon the Remnant and the Church.

           I witnessed the first man of the 144000 believe in Jesus and come to salvation. He was a dark-skinned, slender fellow with jet-black hair and a short beard. I saw the incredible burden of suffering and confusion lifted from him, the light in his eyes, the expression on his face. I could tell that he was completely free from any external influence. Nothing could hurt him or move him from his belief.

I understood that this type of faith was a special grace reserved for His Remnant. This was not a normal conversation in the traditional sense. There was a special empowerment or a special grace upon this man to be a witness for Christ, filled with divine purpose and free from the fear of man.

It was surreal to see this man’s transformation right in the midst of the great tribulation. This man was immediately filled with a contagious zeal that became the spark that spreads the gospel message to the rest of the 144000 scattered across the earth.

As I witnessed more of the Remnant getting born again, I saw that God gives each one of His Remnant the understanding to know exactly who they are in Bible prophecy, and it will only take a few months from that first man’s confession of Jesus to the final one of the 144000 to believe.

The urgency of the 144000 is fueled by the revelation of who they are in Bible prophecy and the terrible things they witness the Church going through. The Church will catch this revelation of who they are as well and help find the rest of God’s Remnant.

          As soon as the Lord showed me this, He spoke this passage to me. Jer 50:4“In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, the people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, weeping as they come, and they shall seek the Lord their God. 

At this point, there is much uninhabitable real estate left on the planet. Communication and transportation are restricted. It quickly becomes an actual hunt for the last man. The Remnant have a boldness that comes from the understanding that they cannot be killed. Because of this, the Remnant will be able to travel where travel is forbidden and cross boundaries that no one else can cross.

          The 144000 will have one of the highest places of honor in Heaven and they know it. They will understand love, mercy, and grace like we never have, knowing that they had absolutely nothing to do with their salvation. The Humility this revelation births in them is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. Truly the last shall be first.

          Once the 7th Trumpet (the last trumpet) starts to blow, the Lord hardens all unbelievers like He did Pharaoh and immediately the demons on the earth will attach themselves to the hardened people and all become demonized to different degrees. There will be no more salvation of Gentiles after that. Only the 144000 will come to the Lord during the last trumpet sound.

          Days later, in a separate vision, the Lord showed me what the “restrainer” is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:6. You can read about this vision in The Mystery of the Restrainer.

          It is God’s great love and mercy that started this thing, and it will be His great Love and mercy that finishes it. We are His great pleasure and were made for that purpose.

          The world will witness the 144000 loving and serving God and hate them for it. They won’t be able to kill them because of the inscriptions on their foreheads. They will literally walk the earth like aliens that can’t be killed, and the hardened, demonized masses will see them as such. They will be accused of being aliens and every negative thing that is happening on the planet will be blamed on the 144000.

          I have seen a bunch of terrible things we must all face and I see no point in sharing it. The more He shows me the more excited I get. We can bring Him such great glory in these times, shining bright for His great name in the middle of the fire. I now see how blessed we are to live in these times. It is such a high honor.

          The Church is currently in a time of correction. We must all judge ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to correct and adjust us so that we can become the bride without spot or wrinkle.

He showed me that Satan’s strategy with the pre-tribulation doctrine is to confuse the Church and keep her from being prepared. The pre-trib rapture is a doctrine of devils that portions of the Church have made a stronghold. We constantly reinforce our wrong thinking by following leaders we trust without studying and praying for ourselves. Leadership has done the same thing. God has been clear to me that in the last days, we must “call no man on earth our teacher,” but lean heavily on the written word and Holy Spirit’s guidance.

If we are not saturating ourselves with truth, we will be blind to the enemy’s last-day deceptions.

Matt 23:8-12 (AMP) But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone [in the church] on earth father, for you have one Father, Who is in heaven. 10 And you must not be called masters (leaders), for you have one Master (Leader), the Christ. 11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself [with haughtiness and empty pride] shall be humbled (brought low), and whoever humbles himself [whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly] shall be raised to honor.

          There are three prevailing doctrines on the rapture and when it takes place. Personally, up until the days He showed me this, I believed strongly in a pre-trib rapture. I was fooled.

That being said, I am not trying to start some new doctrine. I am not trying to start my own ANYTHING. I am a teacher, but primarily a prophet. I see stuff before it happens. Always have. I am just trying to be responsible with what God has shown me.  

The rapture won’t happen until the last of the 144000 confesses Jesus as Lord. What I grasp from the several visions is that this will happen about 8 to 10 months (no more than a year) after the last trumpet starts to blow, no more than 4.5 years or so into the Great Tribulation.

AFTER the first trumpet blows. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th trumpets sound in a matter of a few months. Many Christians will fall away after the first trumpet, and those that believe a pre-trib lie will be confused and unprepared when the next three trumpets sound. There was a long pause of around two years or so before the 5th trumpet blew.

I didn’t see much about the 5th and 6th trumpets. Most of these encounters were about the 7th trumpet.

During the long 7th trumpet sound, I saw that the instant the last of the Remnant believes in Jesus, we will all be caught up together with Him in the twinkling of an eye. As we disappear the trumpet stops. This is what the Lord means when He said the days will be shortened for the Elect’s sake. For the next 2.5 years or so the Earth is in great darkness.

          Satan’s final act of vengeance is to use the people left on earth to fight the final battle against the Lord. I think is after His millennial reign. But that will be a quick fight. Faith has already won the victory.

     The last Trumpet is exactly that. The LAST one. There will not be another.

Another thing He showed me was the source and scope of the outpouring that will occur during tribulation. You can read about it here:  THE GOLDEN CENCER

Divine Cooperation. Co-laboring with God.

Posted on 04/13/2026 | Leave a comment

What happens when Christians have a language that opens Heaven, and yet another that shuts it? One Language flows from faith, and the other from fear and doubt. Both sound like prayer. Both quote scripture. And both can come from sincere hearts. But, while one releases life, activates angels, and pleases God. The other denies God’s completed work and keeps us bound to the very thing we are trying to escape.

Most of us don’t realize that our words and prayers can work against us. Words and prayers spoken in fear and desperation aren’t faith. Faith begins when the will of God is known and believed.

Fear works on the same principles as faith. Faith and fear both come by hearing words. Are you stewarding what you hear? Or are you letting anything and everything have access to your heart?

Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

Our heart, in this context, includes our entire inner man. This is our soul, our mind, and our spirit. Our heart is the eternal part of our being. The parts that live on after the body dies. Our hearts are affected by what we see and feel, but mostly by what we hear. We must be very selective about the voices we allow to speak into our lives. The enemy understands the power of words better than we do, and he is relentless in attacking our thought life.

God wasn’t joking when He said to take every thought captive and make it obey.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

We are in a war where the primary weapon used is words. Words that create thoughts and images. Words and thoughts are spiritual, and every word has self-fulfilling prophetic implications.

Let me take you back to the garden. Think about the first words that Adam spoke after he fell:

Genesis 3:10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

From that day forward, we began to pray like a people separated from God, pleading, begging, any crying out for mercy. Why? Because man no longer saw himself as being one with God.That “fallen from grace” consciousness still shapes much of the Church today. We pray like orphans instead of heirs, like slaves instead of sons. When we pray from that posture, every word becomes a declaration of separation instead of an affirmation of our holy union with God through Christ

At the cross, Jesus restored what Adam lost. The veil in the temple was torn, meaning the thing that separated man from God has been dealt with, and the separation was removed.

Ephesians 2:13-18 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

This passage is describing redemption. Doubt and fear-based words deny the reality of Christ’s redemptive work. When we pray as though God is reluctant or withholding, we deny His nature. When we speak as though the problem is greater than the promise, we deny our position. And when we confess weakness more than righteousness, we are empowering the wrong kingdom.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Notice that it does not say death and life are in the power of prayer; the power is in the tongue. God’s kingdom system is built on obedience to, and alignment with the truth, not rehearsing weakness and death. Our lips give life to what we truly believe. We confess who we are in Christ, not how we feel in the flesh. That’s what separates words with faith and power from words of fear and panic.

When we speak words of truth and life, we set ourselves in holy agreement with God. When we speak doubt and fear, we agree with the enemy. And both kingdoms are listening.

Imagine we receive a seriously bad medical diagnosis. One prayer sounds like this: “Lord, please heal my body, if it be thy will.” Another sounds like this: “Father, we thank You that by His stripes we were healed. This sickness cannot remain in the temple of the Holy Ghost. I am a member of the body of Christ and sickness has no place in Him.” Both sound sincere, but they are worlds apart in faith, authority, and understanding.

The first prayer pleads for what God has already provided. The second enforces what the cross already settled and what Jesus paid for with His own blood. Faith never begs; faith declares. Faith doesn’t plead for deliverance; it proclaims it. Faith comes from knowledge and understanding of God’s will before it ever speaks.

When Jesus faced Satan in the wilderness, He didn’t pray, “Father, please help Me resist. Please take this devil away from me.” He said, “It is written.” His prayer life was built on His position, not His predicament. His identity, not His circumstance. The words “It is written” weren’t just scripture quotations; they were faith decrees. They were defensive strikes from the sword of the Spirit.

Every time Jesus spoke, He released the spirit and life of the Word into the situation that overcame temptation, doubt, deception, and darkness.

John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Every time we speak in agreement with God’s Word, the Spirit of life is released through us.

This is why the devil works tirelessly to keep us talking from fear. He doesn’t mind us going to prayer meetings as long as they’re filled with worry, doubt, and fear. He doesn’t mind us fasting as long as it’s driven by desperation. As long as our words carry worry, doubt, and fear, they empower Satan and his kingdom, not the kingdom of God.

Satan was defeated at the cross, but words of doubt, worry, and fear give him a voice and access in our lives.

When we speak the truth in the face of opposing facts, we are not denying reality; we are redefining it. We are calling things that do not yet exist as though they already did. This was God’s idea. This process of calling things that are not as though they were is recorded, so we would understand how faith works.

Romans 4:17-22 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

This isn’t manifesting, and it’s not metaphysical mumbo jumbo. It’s the faith that God modeled for Abraham until he finally got it and started doing the same thing. This is recorded so that we can follow suit.

The creative power of God operates through His Word. The universe itself was spoken into existence, and we were made in His image by Words.

Words are not empty; they are carriers. Every word we speak carries prophetic implications. Our lives, our homes, our health, and our futures are shaped by the words we consistently speak. It doesn’t matter if a person believes this or understands it. It is an unchangeable spiritual law.

Mark 11:23-24 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

This is the language faith, not fear. And the Father hears and responds to the voice of faith.   

1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Confidence is not arrogance; it is holy alignment. When we speak what He has already said, He recognizes His own voice through ours.

Isaiah 55:11 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

The Word of God is powerful when spoken in faith. When we declare healing, we put ourselves in agreement with our covenant promise of health.  When we align our thoughts and words with the completed work of Christ, every faith-filled declaration of truth becomes an echo of the cross.

When we speak doubt and fear, we reverse the process of transformation. Instead of agreeing with God and aligning ourselves with truth, we invite demonic influence and torment. Instead of exercising our authority over sickness and disease, confusion, and poverty, we give him authority to steal our revelation of redemption.

James warns that the doubting person should not expect to receive anything from God.

James 1:5-7 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

The words we speak reveal which kingdom we are in agreement with. We may be saved, but our words determine whether Heaven’s influence or hell’s pressure gains control of our circumstances.

The secret to transformation is not striving, it is a new way of speaking. Jesus said, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24). The moment we speak in faith, we begin to receive. The moment we speak in fear, we begin to lose ground. Our tongue becomes the steering wheel of our destiny.

James 3:3-7 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

We don’t need eloquent prayers; we need the living Word of God. We don’t need to convince God, we need to agree with Him. We need to say ONLY what He has said about us. Everything else is not truth and should not get any form of agreement from us.  Power is not found in emotion and religious activity, but in agreement.  

So the question is not whether power is available. It’s what power are we tapping into? When we agree with God verbally, we empower the life and light of His Word to come to pass in our lives. When we speak against what God has said, we open the door to death, darkness, and attacks by the enemy..

Every time we speak, something in the spirit realm begins to move. The moment we start speaking words of life instead of fear, the spiritual realm begins to realign. Heaven recognizes the sound of faith because it is the same sound that brought the universe into existence: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). Words are the bridge between our unseen inheritance and visible manifestation of it.

Speaking life is not “positive thinking” it is divine alignment. We are not trying to get God to do something new, we are agreeing with what He has already finished.

Fear speaks from separation. It cries, “God, please come help us.” Faith speaks from union. It declares, “God is in us, and His power is working through us right now.”

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

That is a promise.  

So, when we face sickness and disease, fear will pray, “Lord, please heal us.” But understood identity will speak: “The same Spirit that raised Christ now quickens our bodies.” When we face lack, fear will say, “Lord, please provide.” But identity will speak: “My God shall supply all our need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

Fear declares what it sees and feels, faith declares what it believes according to God’s Word.

That is why the enemy works relentlessly to deceive us into talking about what we feel instead of who we are and what we have. If he can trick us into speaking from emotion, doubt, and fear, he can drain the power of our convictions. We rise or fall to the level of our declarations. This is not exaggeration; this is spiritual law. Every word we speak is either moving us closer to our God-given inheritance or moving us into the fleshly limitations of our carnal nature.

Words are spiritual containers. Theys are seeds of the kingdom of God, and our life is the harvest. We cannot plant fear all week and expect faith to grow on Sunday. We cannot speak doubt and death over our bodies, our lives, or our future, and then wonder why Heaven seems silent. The Spirit responds to faith, not fear.

The most powerful moment in prayer is when we speak. Crying may move our emotions, but speaking moves our mountains. God never told Israel to cry and beg at Jericho; He told them to shout. That shout was not an emotional response; it was a faith-filled declaration. The walls did not fall because of volume; they fell because of obedience. Obeying God’s Word and speaking God’s Word are the highest forms of agreement available.

Heaven responded to the sound of God’s Word in the mouths of God’s people. When we speak words of life, angels move and circumstances begin to bend beneath the weight of divine authority.

Psalm 103:20 Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.

Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

Angels are here to minister on behalf of those who inherit salvation. That’s you and me. When we speak God’s Word, angels have the responsibility to act on it and perform it.

It is sad that many Christians pray endlessly but never speak with authority. They pour their hearts out to God, yet never release the power of His Word into the situation. They rob angels of their chance to help us. We keep them from fulfilling their God-given purpose, which is to minister on our behalf.

When we finally make the shift to stop speaking fear and start speaking life, everything begins to change. Our prayer becomes bold instead of begging. We stop questioning God’s will for what He has already revealed in His Word. Healing, peace, provision, and authority are our inheritance to enforce. Scripture says, “Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption” (Romans 8:15). Fear makes slaves; sonship makes rulers.

The difference is not in God’s willingness; it is in our consciousness. When we understand who we are, our words change. We stop echoing the language of a fallen Earth and begin releasing the language of Heaven. Many of us struggle here because we feel unworthy to speak boldly. We think it is humble to constantly plead. But true humility is agreeing with God regardless of how we feel or what we see.

If He says we are righteous, calling ourselves unworthy is not humility; it is a contradiction. It is disagreement.

Are you comfortable contradicting God? If He says we are more than conquerors, calling ourselves defeated is not modesty; it is unbelief in what He said. Life-filled words begin where identity is known.

Scripture says, “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” (Philemon 1:6).

Faith becomes effective through agreement—not emotion, not desperation, but acknowledgement.  

Declaring the promises of our inheritance brings supernatural alignment. Divine cooperation. Co-laboring. It is participation in the divine nature.

2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

We are not trying to be God, we are cooperating with Him. Faith is never silent about what God has said. Silence is not humility; it is a passive surrender to defeat. Faith must speak.

Things will change in our lives if we start talking like God is telling the truth. The power of God in us is ready to move; it is waiting for the sound of our agreement.

JESUS IS COMING!

You do NOT Have the Right to Remain Silent!

Posted on 04/10/2026 | Leave a comment

In any branch of the military, and in all law enforcement training, there is a skill—a discipline—that, when practiced correctly, keeps us safer, more prepared, and better equipped to tackle and overcome any difficulty. The skill is called situational awareness.

Most of us have gone through spiritual battles unarmed and unaware, not because we lack weapons, but because we never learned how to use the one God placed in our mouths.

As Christians, we have very little situational awareness. We walk around clueless about the war raging around us and within us. We simply don’t understand that we are in a constant spiritual fight and the enemy is stealing our revelation, killing our confidence, and destroying our witness.

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

The enemy is not intimidated by us simply because we own Bibles and attend church. But he is terrified when we know how to wield the sword of the Spirit. Devils don’t tremble at scriptures printed in a Bible. They tremble and flee when scripture becomes a sword in our mouths, and we understand our authority in Christ. This is why the devil is relentless in his attacks against understanding our Christian identity.

Because of his attacks, many of us struggle in this area. We read the Word. We honor the Word. Yet we do not understand how to use the Word in a fight. The Word of God is not only instruction; it is a weapon. It is not just a revelation of truth; it is power. When Paul described the armor of God in Ephesians 6, every piece was defensive except one: the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 

Some swords are worn for decoration. They are used for symbolism and ceremony. The sword of the Spirit is not for decoration; it is meant to be used, yet most of us never actually use it. We admire God’s Word, we reference it, we even quote it, but we do not wield it as a weapon. The Word spoken becomes a living thing. Many of us believe the Word is powerful on its own, which is true, but we never take the next step: God designed His Word to be powerful in our mouths.

This is a beautiful paradox. James teaches us clearly that our tongues did not get born again when we did.

James 3:6-9 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 

Notice, it doesn’t say, the tongue is LIKE a fire, it says IT IS a fire. IT IS an unruly evil.

If we don’t bridle our tongue and force it to do our will, Satan will control it. Once he controls our tongue, he controls us.

God. In His infinite wisdom, He provided a way for us to defeat the enemy with a part of our being that still has a carnal nature! That’s like snatching the devil’s pitchfork and slapping him with it.

A silent believer is a disarmed believer. The big question is, why do so many of us remain silent? Why do we speak about our circumstances and our feelings more than the truth? Why do we voice fear instead of the promises of our covenant identity? Because many of us have never been taught how spiritual warfare actually works.

James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Resist doesn’t necessarily mean fight; resist means withstand, oppose, stand firm against with authority.

Authority is always enforced by words. Authority is vocal, expressed, and declared with confidence.

We cannot exercise authority silently. Jesus did not cast out devils with imagination or internal belief; he spoke, declared, and commanded. He said, “It is written,” and the enemy bowed to the Word spoken with conviction. When we stay silent, the enemy remains unchallenged. When we speak the Word, the enemy confronts the very authority that defeated him at Calvary.

Here’s the tragedy: We are equipped with a sword but trained like spectators. We treat the Word as something to reverence instead of something to execute. We think the Word is for quiet meditation, not aggressive confrontation. We forget that Jesus himself, in the wilderness, defeated the devil not with thoughts or emotions, but with scripture spoken with precision. Jesus said three times, “It is written”—three strikes of the sword, three declarations of truth, three blows that scattered the enemy.

But here is the deeper issue behind why so many of us never use the Word as a sword: we do not see ourselves as authorized to use it. We feel unworthy, unqualified, unsure. We are filled with doubt and think the Word works for spiritual giants, not ordinary believers.

A sword does not care about the one holding it,—it responds to the skill and authority behind the one who wields it.

Authority does not come from maturity; authority comes from identity.

The moment we were born again, we were placed in Christ. Our authority is his authority. We do not wield the sword in our own strength; we wield the sword from His victory. The Father honors the Word in the lips of his children as he honored the Word in the lips of Jesus. Let this truth sink into our spirits: God responds to His Word spoken by us the same way he responded to His Word spoken by Christ because we are in Christ, not because we earned the right, but because we inherited the right.

When we speak God’s Word, Heaven hears the voice of righteousness. This is why the enemy attacks our identity before he attacks anything else. If he can make us believe we are weak, we will never speak with authority. If he can make us believe we are unworthy, we will never feel qualified to swing the sword boldly. If he can make us believe the Word is powerful in someone else’s mouth but not ours, our sword remains sheathed. Many of us are defeated not because we lack knowledge of scripture, but because we lack confidence.

Spiritual warfare is not about shouting louder, praying longer, or fighting harder. It is about speaking the right word from the right position. We must know our authority. We must understand our righteousness. We must grasp our union with Christ. The Word is only a weapon when it is spoken from identity; we cannot wield a sword we do not believe we have the right to hold.

This is why we see the early church walking in power. They did not even have the scripture that we do; they simply believed what Christ said and accomplished. They knew who they were. They knew what belonged to them. They knew the authority that rested on the name of Jesus. They spoke the Word boldly because they understood the covenant backing it up.

The Word becomes effective when we speak it with the consciousness of our authority in Christ. The sword of the Spirit does not operate like a natural sword. A natural sword loses sharpness with each strike, but the sword of the Spirit grows sharper with use. The more we speak it, the more effective it becomes. The more we wield it, the more skillful we become. The more we declare it, the more it gets established as an unshakable truth in our hearts.   

Job 22:28b …You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

Authority comes from identity. Skill comes from repeated use. Victory comes from consistency. Most of us never learn to use the Word as a sword because we never commit to speaking it daily, not speaking occasionally, not just when we feel pressured and desperate, but daily.  

Consistency trains our subconscious to respond instinctively with scripture. The enemy does not fear us when we can quote scripture mentally; he fears us when we have trained our mouths to respond with scripture instantly.

When Jesus was attacked in the wilderness, he did not pause to search for a verse. He did not hesitate, analyze, or contemplate. The sword was already in his mouth.  HE WAS THE WORD! Speaking is His nature.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

While commonly translated as “living soul,” or “living being,” ancient interpretations and scholars suggest that “speaking spirit” or “speaking being” captures the essence of Adam’s nature and purpose from the original text.

The Word is sharp because it is true, but it becomes sharper when we believe it. The sword of the Spirit is powerful because it is holy, but it becomes devastating when we understand it.  

When the Word becomes revelation in our hearts, our declarations carry a power that darkness cannot resist. The authority of the Word in our mouths is directly connected to the revelation of the Word in our hearts. Many of us speak scripture as information, not as revelation. We quote verses we have not yet absorbed. We declare truths we have not yet allowed to become part of our identity. And when the Word is spoken without revelation, it strikes but does not penetrate. It touches the surface but does not cut deep enough to change the outcome.

Revelation is what sharpens the sword. Revelation turns scripture from a verse into a weapon, from information into transformation, from doctrine to dominion. This is why, when truth becomes revelation, authority becomes natural. When scripture gets internalized to the point that we see it and visualize ourselves doing it, the spoken Word becomes extremely powerful. Revelation knowledge lifts us out of the realm of the physical senses into the realm of the Spirit. This is where the Word becomes unstoppable.

As long as we live in the realm of the 5 physical senses, the Word remains theological. But when we step into the realm of revelation, the Word becomes operational. Our senses say it looks impossible; revelation says, with God, all things are possible. Our senses say the symptoms remain; revelation says, by his stripes we are healed. Our senses say we feel weak; revelation says, the Lord is the strength of our lives. The sword of the Spirit is only as effective as our revelation of it—not because the Word changes, but because our cooperation with it changes.

When Jesus said, “It is written,” he did not speak as someone quoting scripture. He spoke as someone who embodied it. He spoke the Word with full revelation of his identity, his authority, and his Father’s will. The enemy cannot withstand a Word spoken from that place. The enemy is powerless against the execution of dominion by a fully persuaded believer.

This is why we must spend time with the Word before trying to wield the Word. Time in the Word does not only educate; it saturates. It molds our hearts. It strengthens our spirits. It chisels away unbelief. It aligns our inner selves with God’s voice. The sword becomes sharper as our hearts become anchored.  

Reactive vs. Proactive

Another reason many of us fail to use the Word effectively is that we use the Word reactively instead of proactively. We wait until the enemy attacks before we start speaking God’s Word. We wait until fear rises, then search for a promise, scrambling to find a verse. We wait until sickness appears, then begin to declare our covenant rights to healing. Swords are not sharpened in the midst of battle; they are sharpened before the battle. If we sharpen our swords only after the enemy appears, we are fighting at a disadvantage. If we wait until a crisis strikes to speak the Word, we are already behind.

Proactive confession builds spiritual momentum and anchors our faith firmly in Christ. It conditions our spirits to respond instinctively, not react emotionally. It trains our hearts to believe before the pressure comes. It builds an atmosphere where the enemy cannot easily plant seeds of fear or confusion.

When David faced Goliath, he did not suddenly find confidence. His confidence had been forged in battles of faith long before he stepped onto the battlefield with Goliath. He had spoken, prayed, worshiped, believed, and meditated on God until confession flowed naturally. The Word was already alive in him, so the sword was already sharp. Goliath didn’t have an ice cube’s chance in hell of defeating that young man. David spoke about his belief and confidence in God. He told Goliath exactly what he was going to do and then dropped him with a rock (prophetic implications intended), bringing him to the point of death. Then cuts his head off with Goliath’s own sword. (more prophetic implications)

Most of us do not struggle with using the Word because we lack preparation. We wait for warfare to train for warfare. We wait for pressure to strengthen faith. We wait for the attack to build our confession. And because we wait, we are not ready when the fight comes. And let me tell you the truth, ITS COMING. The Word of God was never meant to be our emergency equipment. It was meant to be continual nourishment, continual meditation, continual declaration. Joshua 1:8 reveals the principle plainly: “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth.”

Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 

Notice how the Word in our mouths is tied to success in our lives. Speaking the Word is not optional for spiritual warfare; it is essential for Christian living.

The enemy is not trying to get us to deny scripture; most Christians would never fall for that. His goal is to keep it out of our mouths. He knows the moment we stop speaking the Word, the sword goes back into the sheath, and we are no longer a threat to his agenda. When the sword of the Spirit goes back into the sheath, we move from offensive to defensive. The moment we become defensive, we give the devil space and opportunity to attack us.

Perhaps the most overlooked reason we do not use the Word as a sword is that we have been taught to pray the Word instead of speaking it directly to the enemy. Many of us spend our prayer time describing our concerns to God rather than enforcing the solution God already provided. We pray as if God has not yet spoken, as if the covenant is incomplete, as if the cross has not purchased complete victory. We plead from weakness instead of speaking from identity.

Spiritual warfare is not praying to God about the problem. It is speaking to the problem. We need to stop asking God to move when He has already moved. We need to start declaring what God has already said. We must stop approaching God as defeated slaves and begin declaring every promise we have as redeemed sons and daughters. Authority does not beg, authority does not wonder, and authority does not negotiate. Authority commands, resists, declares, and enforces.

This is why Jesus did not pray lengthy prayers over demons or storms. He spoke. He commanded. He declared, “Peace, be still. Come out of him. Be healed. Rise up and walk.” Every one of these statements was a swing of the sword.

The Word spoken with authority brings the will of God into manifestation. This isn’t metaphysical manifestation mumbo-jumbo. Jesus did not speak to see if something would happen; he spoke because something must happen when the Word is declared from a place of identity.

The Word of God renews our minds, strengthens our spirits, and confronts darkness all at once. The moment we declare scripture, Heaven aligns, angels respond, the Spirit moves, and the enemy is confronted with Christ’s authority.

Jesus quoted specific scripture in the wilderness, not random scripture—he confronted every temptation with a targeted word. When the enemy struck identity, Jesus struck back with identity. When the enemy struck provision, Jesus struck back with provision. When the enemy struck purpose, Jesus struck back with purpose. Tactical precision wins battles.

We can’t speak scripture generally when the enemy attacks us with specifics. We can’t simply declare general truths instead of addressing the lies directly. If the enemy attacks our identity, we speak the Word about righteousness. If the enemy attacks our health, we speak the Word about healing. If the enemy attacks our peace, we speak the Word about the promise of peace. If the enemy attacks our calling, we speak the Word about our identity in Him. A is meant to strike intentionally.

The Word becomes most powerful when we speak it consistently, not occasionally. A single strike wounds; continuous strikes defeat. A single declaration brings light; continual declaration keeps darkness out. A single confession pushes back pressure; continual confession establishes an atmosphere where the enemy cannot regain ground.  

Continual declaration of God’s Word shapes environments, establishes spiritual climates, renews our minds, sharpens our discernment, strengthens our resolve, and awakens a spiritual sensitivity that can be attained no other way.

We speak the Word when we feel pressured, but we also need to speak it when life is peaceful and things are going well. The strongest among us are not those who speak scripture in panic, but those who speak scripture in rhythm.

We wield the sword as part of our lifestyle. We speak it in the morning, declare it throughout the day, and meditate on it at night. When the Word becomes the rhythm of our spirits, the sword never dulls. It remains sharp because our confession stays alive. It remains effective because our faith stays active and strengthened by the Word. It remains authoritative because our identity stays awakened.  

The Word was never meant to be studied without being spoken. It was never meant to be known without being used. It was never meant to be honored without being wielded. God placed a sword in our spirits—a weapon not forged by human hands but breathed by the Holy Ghost.  

So, back to my original thought, situational awareness. This teaching describes the situation that all believers face. Now that we are aware, what are we going to do about it?

How Satan Steals Our Authority

Posted on 04/03/2026 | Leave a comment

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

Jesus has taken back ALL authority. This means that everyone else has NO AUTHORITY unless He gives it to them.

So, if the devil has no authority, how does he still do stuff that hurts us? Jesus is not giving Him any authority. Satan obviously got some type of power or authority from somewhere because he is still stealing, killing, and destroying. Where did that ability come from?

Satan can only be empowered by those who have authority. Which means you and me.

How does he do that? Because we are not knowingly handing over what Jesus paid for us to have. Are we?

Could it be that we are unknowingly, yet willingly, relinquishing control of our thoughts and beliefs to a known liar?

For Satan to gain some measure of control, he must bring himself into agreement with one who has authority. The stronger the agreement, the more authority he has. Instead of bringing himself into agreement, he deceives believers into agreeing with him. This doesn’t allow Satan to gain authority, just a measure of influence and control to keep us from understanding and exercising our authority.

Satan would never truly bring himself into agreement with Christ. We observe Satan trying to trick Jesus during their encounter in the wilderness. He attempted to lure Jesus into some type of agreement with him. And Jesus would never give Satan authority now because He is the one who took it from him.

So, he tricks Christians into agreeing with him in the same way.

How?…

He just keeps talking until we make a verbal agreement with him. He is relentless in his attack on our thought life.

When we believe a lie to the point we speak it, we empower the enemy. We give him authority to further deceive us.

What forms that agreement?

Words are creative by nature. The first thing words create are images. Satan uses those images to manipulate our thoughts. Remember, he is looking for agreement. Once he has that verbal agreement, it becomes a covenant. This covenant gives Satan the legal right to have access to our lives.

Satan speaks relentlessly, putting images in our heads. These images are meant to draw us away from the truth and get us to question what we believe. He is looking for any word or action that would indicate agreement. When he sees or hears an indication of agreement, he begins to exert pressure to gain more control. When we believe the lie, we empower the liar. The more of his lies we believe and verbalize, the more influence he gains.

This is why we are warned repeatedly throughout scripture of the power and consequences of words.

Proverbs 18:20-21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

First, Satan lied to Eve and made her doubt what God said. She didn’t take that thought captive, she had a conversation with the devil and just let him keep talking. Entertaining Satan’s lies made her doubt that God’s Word was true. In Genesis 3:6 we see that after Eve had her conversation with the devil, she saw things differently. (images!)

Genesis 3:6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 

The only authority he can gain now is a false authority, a counterfeit. He keeps us ignorant and deceived. This prevents us from receiving and enjoying the inheritance that Jesus paid for with His blood. His deception gives the illusion that he has authority, but he doesn’t; he just has a measure of control. As soon as we break the verbal agreement, we renounce any words spoken that gave him access. Then, we can cast him out. At that point, we take back the things he stole, and we strengthen ourselves to defend them.

Matthew 11:11-12 Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 

Jesus took the kingdom back by force, the authority that Adam relinquished to the devil. When the enemy deceives us, he isn’t stealing our authority. He is stealing our revelation of truth surrounding it. If we lose by deception what Christ took by force, we must also take it back by force. Taking it back requires effort and determination.

The Church has relinquished her understanding of spiritual authority in so many areas. The revelation of righteousness, of healing, of the Holy Spirit, and the list gets much longer. The Church is rising up all over the Earth. God is giving His people understanding in these areas. When He pours out His Spirit upon us in the last days, we will have the understanding to steward that outpouring.

We must break those verbal agreements, declare our deliverance. Then refuse to speak anything that agrees with darkness or the curse. We must learn what it means to take thoughts captive and bring them into subjection to truth. To do that, we have to learn how to put on the whole armor of God found in Ephesians 6:10-18.

And that we will cover in the following posts.
