God is ready to execute the written judgment upon His enemies who defy His Name and who stand against His purposes. He is ready to bruise the head of the devil, as prophesied in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 15. He is ready to bind earthly and spiritual kings and princes with chains and with fetters of iron as we play our instruments, sing, and dance before the Lord.
As we lift up our voices in prophetic declarations, God reaffirms us as His children.
“I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son. Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession’ ” (Psalm 2: 7, 8).
It’s time for the Levites to come forth and restore praise and worship as a weapon. The key of David (spiritual praise and worship) must come forth again, bringing unity to sound, words, declarations, and decrees, thus releasing the kingly anointing upon the people to arise and overcome. The key must be inserted into the locks of the enemy’s strongholds through militant praise and declaration. The enemy’s gates must be overtaken and then replaced with gates of praise and salvation. We need to see ourselves as the spiritual gates the Lord of Glory comes through. He will give us victory over our enemies as we praise His Name:
“Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the Lord of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah (Psalm 24: 7 – 10).
It’s time for brothers to “go up” together, following Judah and Simeon’s example. Churches and ministers need to lay aside their agendas and join together, combining their unique strengths for the greater cause – GOD’s!
