Some background first… I’ve been a follower of Jesus since I was 4 years old. God has done miraculous things in my life in the past. But these past few years I have been spiritually dry, apathetic, lazy, depressed and fearful.

I originally bought the lie of Covid and was glued to FOX news. Both my husband and I received the first 2 “vaccine” doses. Then God opened my eyes to the truth of what was happening.

I have really struggled with being consumed with anger and grief over what has been happening in our world, have struggled with rejection from family and friends when I attempted to share truth with them. I have been living in fear and anxiety.

Two weeks ago God healed me of all of the fear, anxiety and anger that had been holding me in bondage and He is bringing about a huge revival in my life. I cannot stop praising Him, worshipping, praying. I have joy and peace like I have never known my entire life - despite having walked with Him personally for the past 42 years.

Today while at work I couldn’t focus on anything. I was praying and worshipping here at my desk. I stepped into the lobby and the worship song “Raise a Hallelujah” was playing. My spirit leapt in me and I could hardly hold myself back! I wanted to dance and worship despite who was around. (For someone who grew up in a conservative evangelical church this is not the norm, but it has been so for the past 2 weeks).

I’ve been listening to Julie Green’s prophecies as well and God has been moving deeply in my heart and mind through them. I’ve always been skeptical of prophets and was highly skeptical of her for many months. But God has used her to be a part of my healing and has reminded me that we need to DECLARE God’s Truth and VICTORY over our enemies and over the strongholds in our lives that have held us in bondage. Speaking the name of Jesus and declaring His Truth over my life is how God set me free!

As I was in the lobby area at my work listening to the words of this song, I felt like God was saying this was to be my war cry and my anthem while we wait for His will to be fulfilled and accomplished by the end of 2022.

I kept thinking about the words we are all waiting to hear, that “the storm is upon us.” And the words of this song fit right in!

I'm gonna sing in the middle of the storm Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar Up from the ashes hope will arise Death is defeated, the King is alive”

Our weapon during this time is our worship!! The enemy has to flee at the sound of Jesus’ name and he HATES worship!

My weapon is a melody I raise a hallelujah Heaven comes to fight for me”

God IS fighting for us! Heaven is coming to fight for us! God wants us to join Him in this fight! Now more than ever we need to DECLARE THE TRUTH OF HIS WORD and DECLARE VICTORY OVER OUR ENEMIES! We need to turn our hearts and our voices to the heavens and call down the walls of Jericho in Jesus’ mighty name! It’s almost here!! It’s time to shout and praise!!

My 11 year old son asked me yesterday, “Mom what are you going to do when the internet goes down during the blackout? How are you going to worship? You won’t be able to worship!!” I explained to him that I’ve been downloading worship songs and am ready for when the blackout comes. I have a victory playlist created and I know that God is calling me to engage in battle through worship and prayer even more during that time. I’ve added this song to my playlist and it will be my anthem during the storm!

For those who are struggling, who feel hopeless, God wants to set you free!! Declare His Truth over your life!! Refuse to let the enemy hold you any longer! Stand up and fight! It’s time! God wants to deliver you!! And He wants you to join in on our victory war cry!!

I want to leave you with some weapons that God has given me during this time:

1. If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Savior, now is the time to give your life to Him! He wants to set you free! He loves you! He died for you and took the punishment for your sins and He rose again in triumph over sin and death! Believe in His name and you will be saved. Find a church and people who can come alongside you on your journey! God designed us for community and we need each other! Get a Bible if you don’t already have one. The book of John is a great place to start.

2. The song “I Speak Jesus” has been on repeat in my home every day, sometimes for hours on end, for the past 2 weeks. There is such power in Jesus name! Declare it over your life, over your family, over our nation and the world! The name of Jesus broke the chains over my life and it will over yours and our world as well! Here’s the link to the song (sorry it’s YouTube): https://youtu.be/FpGYImM_VeM

3. Get in the Word!! We need to hear from God more than ever! Draw near to Him during this time and hear His words of love, of freedom and direction! He is speaking and He is moving! He will draw near to you!

4. Link to a powerful prophetic word that deeply impacted me from Julie Green. This first one is from January of this year. The prophecy is so encouraging as are her words of exhortation at the end. https://rumble.com/vsapwc-prophetic-word-these-are-biblical-times.html

5. Link to a very powerful and encouraging word she shared yesterday that speaks to us being very close to the end of the enemy’s regime and God’s victory. https://rumble.com/v1dkgap-one-government-will-fall-and-another-one-will-replace-them.html

Lyrics to “I Raise A Hallelujah”

I raise a hallelujah In the presence of my enemies I raise a hallelujah Louder than the unbelief I raise a hallelujah

My weapon is a melody I raise a hallelujah Heaven comes to fight for me

I'm gonna sing in the middle of the storm Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar Up from the ashes hope will arise Death is defeated, the King is alive

I raise a hallelujah With everything inside of me I raise a hallelujah I will watch the darkness flee I raise a hallelujah In the middle of the mystery I raise a hallelujah Fear, you lost your hold on me

I'm gonna sing in the middle of the storm Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar Up from the ashes hope will arise Death is defeated, the King is alive

Sing a little louder Sing a little louder Sing a little louder Sing a little louder Sing a little louder Sing a little louder Sing a little louder Oh, sing a little louder

Sing a little louder In the presence of my enemies Sing a little louder Louder than the unbelief Sing a little louder My weapon is a melody Sing a little louder Heaven comes to fight for me Sing a little louder

I'm gonna sing in the middle of the storm Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar Up from the ashes hope will arise Death is defeated, the King is alive

I'm gonna sing in the middle of the storm Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar Up from the ashes hope will arise Death is defeated, the King is alive

I raise a hallelujah (hallelujah) I raise a hallelujah (I raise my hallelujah) I raise a hallelujah (I raise my hallelujah) I raise a hallelujah

I pray that the God of all hope encourages you and gives you peace! You are DEARLY loved and God is moving heaven and earth for you because YOU are his BELOVED!

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
