A surprising revelation sprang into my quiet time this morning. It’s connected to a prophetic word God gave me yesterday called “A DECREE FROM THE LORD.” It’s posted on my blog  http://Nancy777.com.

 I was studying a teaching by Kim Clement on the subject of REVELATION. He said, “A revelation is a sudden compelling force or action that induces motion.” He went on to explain that it drives you forward and creates spiritual motion and with this motion creates expression by inactivating the “negative control system” and activating the “positive control system.”

I learned we have two control systems in us: negative and positive. The negative one is continually fed by the news media, bad reports, and bad things etc. These negative things stifle us and bring fear. What God does is suddenly activate the positive control system in you by inactivating the negative control system.

 Kim said, “REVELATION CANNOT COME INTO EXISTENCE WITHOUT YOU!  GOD NEEDS SOMEBODY TO BRING REVELATION INTO EXISTENCE IN TIME AND SPACE.”

 He  taught what the Greek word for revelation, apokalupsis  means.

            Apo- away and separate; to be removed

            Kalupsis- to cover or veil

Revelation means to remove the veil and reveal.

 In “A DECREE FROM THE LORD,” the Lord was declaring that He wants His children to take a firm stand for Him and boldly and fearlessly speak His Word, in the name of Jesus! Then the revelation suddenly came!

 The devil and his demonic forces want to topple the government of Jesus’ kingdom because they know from Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6).

 The strategy of the enemy is very sneaky. The powers and principalities over the mountain of government want legislators to bring about laws that forbid chaplains from using the name of Jesus in prayer because even demons know from Jesus’ words, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and earth.” (Mathew 28:18).

  The enemy plots to keep Jesus Kingdom from being established permanently by striking fear in the hearts of His people by targeting its central point of power – THE VERY NAME OF JESUS. They know, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name. (Philippians 2:9)

 The devil hopes to inactivate our positive control system in the Word of God by activating his negative control system fed by the news media and all its negativity and bad reports.

 THE CHURCH MUST TAKE A BOLD STAND AT ALL COSTS!  We must not cave in to the tactics of satan. God has given his people all power and authority in the name of Jesus. He declared in Mathew 16:19 “And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

 We must loose the Spirit of Truth and boldy proclaim the Word of God to all people so the captives can be set free. Jesus the Christ is the anointed One and His anointing. In that name alone is the yoke of bondage destroyed and the burdens removed.

 And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:33).

 We are engaged in a spiritual battle for LIFE! Who will prevail – God or the devil.

We know from the bible the end of the story. Those on God’s side will win and the devil will finally be cast into the lake of fire. However, believers have a MANDATE from God to preach the GOOD NEWS to the ends of the earth until Jesus returns.

 We must never forget that our founding fathers pledged everything in order to establish this country based on the Word of God. They pledged their sacred honor, their good names, and their fortunes. They were willing to die for their country.

 May we never forget all the brave and honorable men and women who have given their lives for these United States of America and who continue to put their lives in harms way so we may remain a free people.

 Above all, Let us forever remember and exalt the name of Jesus, THE “ONE” WHO DIED FOR ALL MANKIND (not just for those in the U.S. but worldwide) that they may have eternal life.

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

 The question remains: WHOSE SIDE ARE WE ON? Will we unashamedly stand for and use the name of Jesus or will we bow to fear and pressure? IT IS OUR CHOICE! Prepare the way of the Lord. Make no mistake about it. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back for His glorious church. Will He find us faithful to stand and wait for Him no matter what the cost?

 No matter whose side one is on,  “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 

Love in Christ,
