Prophetic Word: Don’t Be Afraid of the Armies That Appear to Surround You

I am so excited about what God has in store for this year, 2022—the year of our Lord!

Father is inviting us all to have a holy expectancy, a hopeful confidence and joyful faith about what He is doing. Holy Spirit is encouraging us, saying, “As amazing as My presence has been in the past, as awesome as the miracles you’ve experienced so far have been, just know that you haven’t seen anything yet!

“‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered the heart of man all that I have prepared for those who love Me; but I am revealing it to you by My Spirit’ (see 1 Cor. 2:9-10).

“When you look around at the natural world, you might be tempted to get discouraged, which is why I told you: Don’t look at the things that are seen, look at the things that are unseen (2 Cor. 4:18). My Word explains that the mind set on the flesh (this natural realm) is death but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace (Rom. 8:5-6). Keep seeking those things above, where Christ is seated in heavenly places, and see yourselves seated right there too (Col. 3:1-3; Eph. 2:6)!

“Know that nothing has caught Me by surprise. I’m still on My throne (Ps. 2:4). I, the Most High, am still ruler over the realm of mankind (Dan. 4:17). And more than anything else, I want you to trust Me to simply know that I’ve got this. I, the Lord of hosts, and My heavenly hosts, we’ve got this (Ps. 91:11-12). The company of heaven has your back and we are working everything out for your good (Rom. 8:28).

“You know I will keep you in perfect peace when your mind, and your imagination, is stayed on Me (Isa. 26:3). When you see Me at work behind the scenes, you are at peace. When you see My angels with you—protecting you—you are at peace. When you see My glory collapsing and My kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven, you are at peace (Matt. 6:10).

“So, see that truth; envision it; imagine it! You can be confident that if you ask anything according to My will, I hear you, and if you know that I hear you in whatever you ask, you know that you already possess what you have asked of Me (1 Jn. 5:14-15). I promise you, I am doing exceedingly and abundantly more than you could ever ask or think, according to My power that is at work in you (Eph. 3:20)!

“The heavens are Mine but the earth I have given to you, the children of men (Ps. 115:16). You get to work together with Me to make your part of earth look just like heaven! You are My ambassadors and representatives (2 Cor. 5:20). You have already been given all authority in Christ, and I invite you to exercise it. This year, step more fully into your identity as supernatural royalty—living from heaven to earth, reigning in life and serving and loving well (Rom. 5:17).

“See yourself the way I see you: forgiven, anointed, empowered, favored, blessed. Your spirit is joined to Mine and you are a partaker of My divine nature (1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Pet. 1:4). You have been filled up to the ‘fullness’ with My Spirit, and all things are possible to you who believe (Eph. 3:19; Mark 9:23). Nothing is impossible with Me, and I am with you (Luke 1:37). I am for you! We are in this together, which means you have nothing to worry about! There is nothing you can’t do in partnership with Me (Phil. 4:13).

“Come up here and look at life from My point of view. I see the end from the beginning and it is so very good (Isa. 46:10). I give you glimpses of My perspective while you sleep (Ps. 16:7). I’m pouring out My Spirit and you will see more visions and dream more dreams (Acts 2:17). Through these revelations of the night, I am showing you My vision and version of reality, and I want you to adopt that as your own.

“Like Elisha and his servant, don’t be afraid of the armies that appear to be surrounding you (2 Kgs. 6:13-17). Instead, open the eyes of your heart to the spiritual reality—that it may look like you’re surrounded but you are surrounded by Me (Ps. 34:7)! Those are angel armies encircled around you and there are more with you than against you—always! You are never outnumbered. You are never alone (Heb. 13:5).

“I’m God. I don’t know how to fail. So believe Me when I tell you that your path is only going to get better, brighter and more beautiful (Prov. 4:18). Because like I said, you haven’t seen anything yet.” {eoa}
