God’s Word has much to say about the Holy Spirit’s gift of prophecy.  It is a precious privilege to hear and deliver a message from God, one that carries a weight of responsibility.

On Wednesday, December 5, 2012, I sensed the prompting of the Holy Spirit to deliver this prophetic word in our mid-week service at New Hope Worship Center, but I am convinced that it applies to a broader section of the Body of Christ.

As you read the prophetic message, I pray that the Holy Spirit will confirm and apply to  you personally the truth of His Word.

For the Lord would say to you, ‘I have declared over you a season of significance.

‘You are entering into a realm that you have not been before. I have gone before you. I have made the path straight. I have declared my plans. I have ordered my word. You simply need to rest and walk in it.

‘So now, as I have called you to this place of faith, I am calling you to fight battles you have never fought before. I am calling you to stand up, to understand who you are, and to be the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. To be the victors that I have called you to be,’ says God.

‘I have called you to stand up when the others aren’t willing to stand up. I have called you to be with the spirit of David, to stand up and to face that giant and to bring him down.

‘I have called you to a season of significance and it will demand great faith from you.’

So I say to you, ‘My children, look toward Me, the Author and the Finisher of your faith and I will go before you. I will fight the battle for you, but I am calling you to step in. I am calling you to step up. I am calling you to trust Me in this. I am calling you to guard your mouth. I am calling you to guard your heart, because I am going to bring you into the victory that you’ve never experienced before.

‘The things that I desire to do in your life are not just about you. I have positioned you for such a time as this because the kingdom of God is advancing and taking territory that the enemy has stolen away. Now I have entrusted you to go forth in battle, to take back that which the enemy has stolen, and so I have entrusted it into your hands.

‘I declare tonight that I am with you, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. I have gone before you to fight the battle and to bring the victory. You go in faith and you watch and see what I will do!’ says the Lord your God.
