Looking back over the last several years, I have held on to a few devotionals that I felt prompted to hold on to. Here is one I would like to share with you.

Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

I will never find in the Bible Satan carrying a sword. Not one scripture in the Bible says the devil is carrying anything except words. I have been given a mighty weapon to counteract the enemy's words - Gods Word. I have the authority in the Name that is above all names to go into the enemy’s camp and take back everything he has stolen from me and my family, now it is up to me to use it!

What brings the Gospel into the world? Believers do - you and I do. I am a carrier of the living Word of God, and I have the answer the world needs. How will the people of the world know they can recover all and be set free from bondage unless I tell them that Christ Jesus has given them power to penetrate the enemy's camp?

Matthew 28:19-21 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

1 Peter 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

The enemy has many assaults planned. The Church will need very keen discernment this year. This is why we must spend more intimate time with the Father. Though the enemy has assaults planned against America and Christians, if we will turn from our wicked ways and repent, then the enemy will find himself at the blunt of many unexpected assaults. There will be more unexpected assaults against the demonic kingdom of darkness than against the believers. Much land will be gained for the Kingdom of God in this year because of intense prayer strategy that will come through divine revelation. The keen discernment in God’s prophets will increase and we will plunder the enemy’s camp.


This is my year to defeat the Amalekite stronghold. The Amalekites preyed upon the weak and feeble. They attack those who lag behind a moving army/camp. When I am battle weary or simply lagging behind, I am easy prey to the enemy. This year there will be a new strength and new grace to move forward. I will be strong and courageous as King David. When the Amalekites stole his family and possessions, he encouraged himself in the Lord. The Lord gave David warfare instructions:


1 Samuel 30:8 And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.


I will also pursue my enemies with new-found strength. I will overtake the Amalekites and recover all that was stolen. However, this can only happen if I do not compromise my faith, commitment and dedication to God.


A Year of Double Portions, Peace and Amazing Grace


I will rule and reign on the throne of David and use the keys of David to unlock the hidden things. Prosperity is one of the doors that will be unlocked and double blessings as well as double portion anointing will be released and realized. God will give me His Amazing Grace to complete my apostolic assignments and fulfill destiny. There is much more to be accomplished as the Kingdom of God is established upon the earth. As His Kingdom is more firmly established, the Church will be more firmly established in covenant blessings and covenant authority.


DIVE INTO HIS PRESENCE AND REMAIN IN HIS RIVER OF BREAKTHROUGH, BLESSING AND INCREASE. GO DEEP!


2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.


I am sick and tired of the enemy attacking Gods people and getting joy out of their suffering and pain. I plan on going deeper with the Lord and becoming the Warrior He has called me to be. I have been chosen by the Lord, and I don’t take that call on my life lightly!


In Your Name Jesus, Amen
