It's a key decision-making time!

Words for this time and season:

"It's a key decision-making time for many of My people in this time and season. Not minor ones, but major ones. But fear not! Because your decisions will bring you to the realm of greater victory and breakthrough. I will help you and guide you, if you look to Me. I will give you the discernment and the counsel that you need, if you look to Me."

Further words for this time and season:

"My people will not be deceived and cannot be deceived, if they hang on to Me, My Word and My Spirit. For My Word is able to make you wise. For My Spirit can help you to discern and to make wise decisions."

2 Timothy 3:13-15 (NKJV) says, 'But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.'

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) says, 'All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.'

Indeed, God's Word is able to make you wise, and God's Word also makes you complete, so that you will be thoroughly equipped for every good work that God has called you to do on earth. 

And in perilous times like these (2 Timothy 3:1-4), all the more you need His Word to guide you and prepare you for whatever that is to come in this world.

Proverbs 4:20-22 (NKJV) says, 'My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.'

Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) says, '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.'

Ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten your spiritual eyes of understanding as you read His Word, because the Holy Spirit will lead you to all truth (John 16:13).

"O Lord, we come to You and we pray that You will sensitize our spirit right now, so that we will know and discern what is of You and what is not of You; and what is Your instruction and what is just a man-made idea. We desire to walk in Your perfect will and Your perfect way, and not walk according to mere human ways or the enemy's ways. We pray that You will give us the wisdom to make the right decisions in life, be it in ministry, in business, in career, in investments, or in any area of our lives. Guide us into all truth and lead us into the right direction that You have meant for us. And no matter how cunning or tricky the enemy may be in all his deceptions, we will not be deceived. We pray all these, in Jesus' name. Amen."

A time for new direction and new strategies!

Words of the Lord for this time and season:

"There’s a time of re-direction for many of My people. There’s a time of re-strategizing for many of My people. For those who humble themselves and are yielded to Me, I will show My direction and guidance. I will know how to show you a way, even a way to prosper in times like these. You will not be lost if you look to Me and put your trust in Me. Just as I remember My covenant with you, remember your covenant with Me."

These are the prophetic words for this second half of 2021:

"Further changes are coming in the spiritual realm. Get ready! Many things are going to happen suddenly in the spirit. For those who are yielded to Me and humble themselves before Me, suddenly you are going to prosper! Suddenly you are going to experience an increase, be it in favor, in wisdom, or in anointing! Suddenly you are going to experience supernatural healing, if you need any! As long as you are yielded to Me and remain humble before Me, there will be a new authority in your life. The enemy that has tried to distract you from your calling and destiny in life will not be able to touch you, because I have sent a fire wall of protection over you. Be sensitive to My Spirit. As I move, you move; as I stop, you stop; like the tabernacle those days in Moses' time, following the glory cloud."

People of God, as you cross into the second half of this year, fear not about what is to come in your future. Keep looking to the Lord and keep putting your trust in the Lord, and you'll see all that the Lord has spoken today come to pass in your life.

If you have gone through a 'blip' in your life recently, don't look back. Learn from the past, correct what you need to correct in your life, and move forward. Like Joshua who was destined to see great conquests and victory as he entered the promised land (Joshua 1:1-3), so will you be. Only be strong and be very courageous! (Joshua 1:7)

Even while in the promised land, Joshua and the people of Israel did have a 'blip' when they were defeated by the people of Ai (Joshua 7:1-5). But the Lord then said to Joshua, "Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?" (Joshua 7:10) 

After sanctifying themselves (Joshua 7:13), the Lord then said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land." (Joshua 8:1) 

And that was when the Lord gave Joshua a new direction and a new strategy to conquer Ai (Joshua 8:4-8). And conquer they did this time!

You see, God is a God of covenant. Just as He remembered what He had spoken to Joshua and what He had promised Joshua, He remembers what He has spoken to you and what He has promised you! Even though there was a 'blip', as long as Joshua and the people of Israel turned to the Lord and 'clear what needs to be cleared', the Lord will see to it that He will be with them in their conquests!

So, be encouraged even if you've had a 'blip' in your life recently. The Lord hasn't forgotten you or forsaken you. 

People of God, this is an important time to remember your covenant with God. Because when everything else on earth falls apart, His covenant with you will not fall apart. This covenant is the very foundation of who you are in Him, and as long as you remember and hold on to this covenant He has made with you (through the blood of Jesus shed for you on the cross), nothing in this world will be able to shake you!

Why is your covenant with God so important?

Let me explain in the simplest form. In Abraham's days, when two families (or two tribes) made a covenant together, they gave to one another all that they had and all that they represented. It means these two families were no longer two, but one. The two families bound themselves together in blood agreements to be a strength when the other is weak. It means if family A is weak, family B will be a strength. And if family B is weak, family A will be a strength. That's how together, they were both strong! 

But in this covenant between you and God, it's even better! Why? Because God has no weaknesses. Only you have. So, when you have this blood covenant with God (through the blood of Jesus shed for you on the cross), it means He will always be a strength to you! He will always be a strength to you in your time of weaknesses or in your time of trouble! 

And if He is with you, who can be against you?

Let the shackles be broken!

Words from the Lord:

"Let the shackle be broken in My anointing! Let My people be set free from their bondages and oppression! Even the bondages in their minds and of the enemy’s influences! For whatever that is not of Me shall be destroyed in the anointing!"

Oppression be broken! Depression be broken! Obsession be broken! Every sorrow be gone! Every yoke be destroyed! And every burden be lifted away!

People of God, in a time when the enemy is trying so hard to put a 'shackle' or 'chain' on you, this is a time to receive His anointing to set you free! Nothing (of the enemy) shall by any means be able to stop God's purposes from being fulfilled in your life!

Further words from the Lord:

"And I will be like the overflowing river that washes away every work of the enemy and make an utter end of the work of the enemy! I am a God of covenant, and I remember My covenant with My people! Therefore, don’t allow yourself to be held back from chasing your God-given dreams. Focus on Me and focus on running towards the prize of the upward call of God!"

Nahum 1:7-9 (NKJV) says, 'The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him. But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, and darkness will pursue His enemies. What do you conspire against the Lord? He will make an utter end of it...'

By the way, 'Nahum' ('Nekhuwm' in Hebrew) means 'the comfort or consolation (of the Lord)'; from the word 'nakham', meaning 'to comfort, to ease, to console'. 

Even though the context of this book of Nahum is for the people of Judah those days, this message applies to you too, because you too are God's covenant people - through Christ! 

God used prophet Nahum to proclaim for His people 'the shackles are broken', and to proclaim the destruction of Nineveh (the capital city of Assyrian empire at that time), which was notorious for its cruelty, violence, idolatry and pride. This book of Nahum is therefore a message of comfort and consolation to God’s people in a time when they were living under the cruelty and bondages of the Assyrians those days.

Nahum 1:13 (Expanded) says, 'Now I will free you from their control [break his yoke from you] and tear away your chains [shackles].'

Indeed, the time is now for your 'shackles be broken', and you are being set free to be who God wants you to be!

Zechariah 9:9-12 (NKJV) says, 'Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; The battle bow shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be 'from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth'. As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.'

Not only your 'shackles are being broken' in the anointing, the Lord also wants you to remember your covenant with Him through the blood of Jesus Christ shed for you on the cross. When everything else on earth falls apart, the Lord wants you to know His covenant with you will not fall apart. His covenant with you cannot be broken. This covenant is the very foundation of who you are in Him. As long as you remember and hold on to this covenant He has made with you the moment you received Him as your personal Savior and Lord, nothing in this world will be able to shake you!

I have explained the name 'Nahum' just now. Now, I move on to the name 'Zechariah' ('Zekar Yah' in Hebrew), which means 'the Lord remembers, or the Lord has remembered'. You know what this means? The Lord remembers you, His beloved! You are blessed because He remembers the covenant He made with you! 

Why is this covenant so important? 

And what are the promises in His covenant with you?

- He saves you and rescues you! (Zechariah 8:7)

- He makes a way of escape for you in times of trouble! (Zechariah 9:11) 

- He causes you to be a blessing! (Zechariah 8:13)

- He prospers you and gives you increase! (Zechariah 8:12)

- He restores double to you! (Zechariah 9:12)

- He gives you peace in the midst of turbulence! (Zechariah 9:10) 

- He sends a fire wall of protection over you! (Zechariah 2:5)

Therefore, fear not! Because you are a people of His covenant! And whatever happens in this world or whatever the enemy tries to do, if God is for you, who can be against you? (Romans 8:31)
