It is Time to See!
“God wept over Lazarus, because His people had still not broken through into the faith they needed for the future. He thought, ‘You have been with me all this time and you still know nothing.’ But then He demonstrated. And then they believed. There is power in the visitation of the Lord. Think of Mary. Think about His visitation to Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, where He shut his mouth for nine months. There’s a new watchman call. Whenever there is a key place of alignment, there is a new watchman call. Be careful with the political and religious spirits, especially when they align. They sometimes work together to stop the move of God. But, right now, they are working together to move God’s plan forward. This alignment can drive the prayer movement forward. However, we are not sure what we are watching for. It’s just like when the church was praying for Peter to get set free from jail. God set Him free in response to their prayers, but those praying did not know what they were looking for. So, when Peter showed up at the door, they shut the door in his face, not believing it could really be Peter! Without revelation from the Holy Spirit, we don’t know what’s real or not real. God wants us to see! We need to see the Kingdom being expressed. It is time!” (Chuck Pierce)1
“Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?’” (John 11:40; NKJV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Demonstrations of the power and Glory of God are coming. Deal with your doubt and unbelief and become expectant!
- Read John 11, Luke 1, and Acts 12. Note the contrast between lack of faith in the people, even the praying Church, and the persistence of the Lord to work in their midst. Let faith arise in you.
- Consider the alignment of the religious and political spirits. Note how they can block the move of God. Consider in the Word of God how God uses that alignment to move His purposes forward. Intercede for the current alignment of those spirits in America’s governmental arena. SEE what God is doing!
A prayer you can pray:
Lord, throughout time, You overcame doubt and unbelief in Your followers with demonstrations of Your power. Forgive me of my own doubt and unbelief. Let me read again John 11, Luke 1, and Acts 12. Show me how You worked despite the active unbelief displayed in the people. What do you want me to see there that will increase faith in myself and in Your Church? Show me how demonic alignments of religious and political spirits work against Your purposes. Show me how You flip the tables over on them and use their tactics to accomplish Your will. Nothing stops You! Nothing! Jesus, let me see this and never forget it! Amen.
Today’s decree:
The Church is about to see what God is doing in America and will pray and act accordingly!
