I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘MY DAUGHTERS, DO NOT BOW TO THE GIANTS AT THE GATE’
Recently I heard the Lord say, ‘My daughters, do not bow to the giants at the gate.’
As I leaned in and listened to the Lord’s heart, I heard:
‘My daughters do not be distracted by the giants at the gate. Do not be distracted by their loud voices and their loud roars, as you continue to stand and contend to move into what I am calling you to step into. The battles you are facing are not a sign that you are moving in the wrong direction, they are the very sign that you are FOLLOWING ME. I say unto you, fear not the giants that are roaring loudly at the gates. Keep your eyes on Me and continue to stand and declare that which I have spoken to you.
‘For I say unto you, that this is the hour for you to take flight. This is the hour for you to arise out of the ashes, and this is the hour for you to apprehend in greater ways that which I have promised you. I say unto you, that not only are you moving across thresholds in the spirit into new areas that I have for you; but I say unto you, that I am causing you to arise and take flight and TAKE BACK the lands and the areas that the enemy has chased you out of.
‘I say to those of you who have felt that it is too late to redeem and reclaim that which the enemy chased you out of, I say unto you, that I am bringing you full circle. I say unto you, I am bringing you into a divine BEGIN AGAIN to APPREHEND that which I have promised you and that which I have called you to do and the lands I have called you to co labour with Me in. I am giving you back the grounds that I called you to tend that the enemy chased many of you out of – through fear, intimidation, accusation, infirmity and weariness.
‘I say unto you, that you have entered an hour of being matured into your authority in Me, unlike any other. I say unto you, that I am teaching and training you in levels you have not experienced before to walk in your authority in Me. Where you have abdicated your authority, I am calling you to repent and take back the authority that you have in Me, by abiding and living in Me and My victory.
‘I say unto you, do not be intimidated by the battles you are facing and the giants that have been guarding the gates. For I am leading you in faith and My divine strategies to arise and overcome that which has been attempting to keep you from the places that are yours in this season. In the battles you are facing at these gates, I say unto you, that I am strengthening you in faith. I am teaching you to walk in faith in greater ways. And I am increasing your discernment as you seek Me in humility and reverence to see what is happening in the spiritual realms at the gates. For there are some of you who have been looking to the natural for explanations of the battles, but I say unto you, that as you look to Me and seek Me, I am revealing the spiritual reality of what is taking place at these gates.
‘As you lean into Me and listen, and seek Me in humility; you shall receive My wisdom and strategy, you shall be led by My Spirit in prayer, intercession and declaration to align with My Word to OVERCOME that which has been attempting to overcome you. I say unto you, that this battle at the gates that many of you are facing is attempting to stop you from moving into that which I have for you. But it is bigger than you realise, My daughters. The enemy has been attempting to keep you from moving through the gates because the enemy is terrified of you walking in your authority. But I am also raising you up in this hour to see Me come through you, as the King of Glory (Psalm 24), in ways you have never seen.
‘I say unto you, My daughters, do not bow to these giants. Guard your gates. Guard your eyes, guard your mouths, guard your hearts, guard your minds. For the enemy is seeking to come and to shake you, sift you and cause you to run from that which I am calling you to. I say unto you, be aware of the schemes of the enemy coming against you with intense fear. I say unto you, that where a spirit of fear has been coming against you strongly in this hour, I say unto you, that I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7). And in this hour, as you continue to lean into Me and sit at My feet, I am raising you up in a spirit of boldness and strength that you have not walked in before.
‘I declare over you today, My daughters, that your days of hiding, your days of intimidation, your days of insecurity are being done away with in this season – as you continue to lean deeply into Me and into My heart and I continue to awaken you to who you are in Me. For the enemy has come ferociously against your identity and he has ferociously come against what you carry. But I say unto you, I am healing you, I am strengthening you, and I am causing you to arise in your original design in Me and your purpose and assignment with boldness in Me.
‘I say unto you, My daughters, do not stay silent at the gates. Now is the time to use your voice in greater ways. Do not stop speaking that which I am speaking. I say unto you, do not give the enemy a foothold through the words you are speaking and aligning with. I am raising you up in this hour to use your voice, and to recognise My voice and My authority through you. I say unto you, as you arise and speak to the giants at the gates, you are going to begin to see them be shaken and removed by My Word through your mouth.
‘Watch the power of My Spirit manifest through the declaration flowing from your mouth that is full of My Word. Speak and pray My Word and do not move, and you will see the giants moved. Do not entertain the insecurities, the lies, the accusations that have come against you so intensely, but rehearse My rhema and what I am speaking to you. Do NOT be silent at the gate.
‘I say unto you, you are moving into a time of greater convergence. I say unto you, that you are moving into a time of greater convergence in Me; of reclaiming, repossessing and occupying the new that I have for you. I will cause you to move into new pioneering pathways, while reaping the spoils of the previous battles and occupying the territories again that the enemy chased you out of.
‘I say unto you, My daughters, where the giants have come against you for season after season that has seen many of you feel like you cannot go on – some have run and hidden, some have given up, some have remained but are weary – I say unto you, My fresh wind and second wind is blowing over you to refresh and restore you. And I say unto you, that where the giants came to try and kill you, I am now raising you up as My GIANT KILLERS. My daughters, I am bringing you further into the place of understanding and manifestation of living in ASCENDED AUTHORITY.
‘Do not bow to the giants. Arise! You’re coming up higher in understanding of what it is to live in ascended authority. Above the noise, above the storm, above the natural realm– FROM your seat. These gates that the giants are guarding are the gates into new places and what I have for you in this season that will see you truly arise in your governmental authority in Me in greater ways, to see My Glory and Kingdom come. Watch the increase of My Spirit through you to heal, deliver and set free. Watch My Gospel go forth through you, and signs and wonders accompany you as you believe (Mark 16:17).’
