Dear Friends and Intercessors,
What a wonderful time to be alive!
I’m sure some are wondering how I can possibly make that declaration…
We see a massive deception swirling around us regarding nearly every topic from religion to politics. The enemy seems to be encroaching at every turn. The economy is devastated by the policies of this current administration. Chaos is trying to consume our inner cities. Darkness is wreaking havoc on the minds of our young people. Depression and anxiety seem to blanket the atmosphere. They are redefining “woman” while expanding gender to 81 separate identities. They are labeling parents who care about their children’s health and education as domestic terrorists. If you are white and a Christian, you are racist... I could go on.
It’s easy to see how one might start to feel overwhelmed and perhaps even fearful. The media tells us that “this is the new norm, get used to it!”
That is man’s perspective.
I prefer to look at things through God’s perspective. What does He
say?
The Lord says we are in a Revolution! This is not a revolution provoked by man but rather, the Spirit of the Lord stirring up the hearts of men to set this nation free from the bondage of tyranny! The elite used the pandemic to transfer our wealth to their pockets and bring us under their rule, locking us in our homes, closing our churches, and so on. Then, just as we crawled out of our caves, they tried to throw us into WW3.
Friends, that was the final straw!
They have overstepped their boundaries and because of this, God provoked the very revolution that will strip them of their power! If you could only see what is taking place in the spirit-realm, fear would dissipate, and faith would take its place.
Why is a revolution so important? In short, it exposes and uproots everything that stands in the way of God’s Divine will being accomplished in the earth! It provokes in the heart of man, not only an unwillingness to remain under the status quo, but the ability to come up and out.
During this season, we desperately need a Spirit of Understanding (Isaiah 11:2, Ephesians 1:18) to be released within us so we can see through the confusion, the chaos, and the deception swirling around us, and anchor ourselves in truth. This will enable us to stand strong in this hour.
The Spirit of Understanding helps us view things from God’s perspective rather than man’s perspective. Why is that so important? This not only paves the path for us to be anchored in His Truth, but it also creates a platform from which we become an unshakable force in the midst of the storm. The enemy comes in like a flood, but if we are grounded in what God is saying, we will be immoveable. This enables us to press through obstacles that we would otherwise back away or even run from.
I’ve shared this before, but it bears repeating, in the midst of a revolution, a true, God-driven revolution, the Lord releases His heavenly host to go and strengthen men. The Lord showed me this in the spirit as it occurred during the first Revolutionary War, and He’s shown me what is taking place today. He knows how difficult this season is, but He has not left us alone! He sends forth His ministering angels to strengthen us! (Mark 1:13, Psalms 104:4) This strengthening enables us to press in and press on in spite of unspeakable odds.
The enemy will still try to bring fear, but we must not give into his fear tactics. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, of power, and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) Remember, courage is not an absence of fear—courage is going toe to toe with that fear and then plowing right through it!
Our response to what we face today is paving the way for something mighty to be birthed in the earth!
In the midst of all this chaos and confusion, people are waking up!
They are waking up to their desperate need for God. They are seeking Him—not in a superficial way—but for a deep and meaningful relationship.
People are waking up to the importance of prayer. I see more repentance and intercession lifted up to the throne room of God than at any other time in my life. This, my friends, opens the gates of heaven to rain down upon our land.
As I said, we are in a revolution. A revolution in the Ecclesia, a revolution in education, a revolution in the political realm, a revolution in media, and a revolution in how we value life. People are waking up to the truth. This goes for both the Ecclesia and the unbelievers. This is key for any lasting change to occur in the nation.
Revolution is hard, it changes things dramatically and sometimes suddenly. Let’s be honest, few people really like change. However, when we embrace and align ourselves with what God is doing, it will be much easier to endure. Soon, we will begin to see the fruit of our prayers… and we will honestly look at each other and say, yes, it really is a wonderful time to be alive!
Blessings & love,
Ricci Johnson-Wilson
