A global shaking and a global awakening are happening right now as the blinders come off the people of God. The Spirit of the Lord is speaking a powerful word: The judges are coming. They are coming to right-size the things that are being capsized on a global stage. God has heard the prayers of His righteous ones who have united, and He is going to act on their behalf against the deep state nonsense and the surveillance normality that has overtaken our culture. He is answering those who have cried out for their mistreated children, promising to bring them back and call His chosen ones unto Him. The nation is being called back to its knees for another round of breakthrough.
Even from devastation, illumination will emerge, and strength will rise in the darkness. The hand of God is not weakened, nor is His arm short; a great revealing is at hand. Don’t fall for the smoke screens of this time or be swayed by the prevailing media narratives. When the world focuses on the loud, headline-grabbing news, watch carefully for the subtle, significant shifts. Do not rejoice in the demise of others as many do in pulpits, high offices, and places of authority. Judge not, for the measure you use will be used against you (see Matthew 7:1-2).
In this time, be those of mercy and compassion. Fire is coming to meet the lies, and strength is rising in the midst of darkness. As you begin to see the changing of the guard and the shifting of narratives—whether tragic or good—the judges will begin to replace the false judges and the “sons of Eli” who have overseen much. “Eli” is about to fall off his chair as God brings order, strength, and recompense. This is not by might or power, but by the Spirit of the Lord (see Zechariah 4:6). The Sons of Issachar will unite with these judges to break the yoke of the Babylonian influx, the tsunami of lies, and the darkness coming into the land. We are entering the hour of surprise turns and unseatings because the Lord is positioning His reformers.
This is the hour when the people of God must dive into their faith, recognizing that a yoke-busting anointing is being unleashed. There will be darkness and revival, challenge and restoration. Pods of intercessors have been crying out day and night, and the Lord is visiting them with power, clarity, and an awakening. He is taking the thorns out of hearts and walking His people into the fullness of what belongs to them. A conviction is returning to the house of God—not a legalistic religion, but a return to your first love and the generational legacy that marks you. The only way this nation turns is by coming to the feet of Jesus and recognizing the silver lining of breakthrough that the Lord is trying to unleash against communist voices, socialist narratives, and the Antichrist agenda.
In your greatest place of battle will arise your greatest moment of victory. Even when facing insurmountable odds, if you draw near to God and speak in faith, you will see His goodness. The righteous voices are being raised to bring rejoicing where there was once groaning. We are going to see a narrative shift in technology, media, and the economy, for the Lord is breathing upon the young lions to turn the tide. There will be economic buoyancy even in the middle of the shaking, as God preserves His people for the sake of the gospel. He is smiting that which has held you and bringing a godly repentance to the land.
The Holy Spirit will rise with power and demonstration on the individual level and on the corporate level. There will be a shaking in the heavens and in the earth, and there will be signs in these days that will flow across the land. Even from devastation will come illumination. The Lord is intervening in the oil and shipping industry, and regarding the very soil and borders of this nation. Angelic forces are at the gate, holding back the demonic tsunami of tragedy, even for the mercy of those that are not crying out to the Lord. The Lord is using the angelic forces at the gate to intervene.
We are seeing the rise of the oaks of righteousness—gatekeepers who remember the battles of the past and are leading the way with a torch of righteousness. The people of God will begin to rise and cast off the cords, containments, and the constraints of lying spirits as they did in the book of Acts. The firebrand judges will arise, clear-eyed, clear-minded, and filled with character in the Church, the government, and the marketplace. This new generation of unconventional reformers will operate with conviction, and through them, the Lord will turn the narrative once again.
The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is their gray head.
– Proverbs 20:29
The Lord will use their experience like a crown to bring about conviction to a younger generation once again. For He hears their prayers and has made promises to them in their lifetime, and it shall come to pass. The Spirit of the Lord will not shrink back from His promises to them. Even if others are not faithful, He will honor the word He’s given them.
In the story of Esther and Mordecai, Mordecai represents the oaks of righteousness. He had to motivate Esther, and she acted in righteousness (see Esther 4). Mordecai represents the firebrand judges: those in the halls of legislation, on the school boards, who stand for righteousness to reign in the land, even if it costs them everything. God is raising up a generation of Esthers and Mordecais.
The judges that are rising may not be perfect, but like Samson, they will turn back to God to accomplish His purposes.
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
– Psalm 34:14
The Lord is also dealing with the spirit of Delilah—the spirit of distraction that seeks to take you off track from your high calling and steal your vision. There is a shaking, both relationally and also in the government place. God is freeing His people from soul ties, unspoken promises, distractions, ungodly relationships, and old memories. God is restoring sight and bringing a garment change to His people. Preachers will begin to preach with an unprecedented fire, and a change is coming even to the White House. You are empowered to do the impossible, and as you find your identity in Jesus, you will move mountains and overcome the present evil age. Your setback is simply a comeback, and the light is shining in darkness for you. God has anointed leaders to move forward and take territory, and the Lord is actively defeating the spirit of Delilah wherever it attempts to show up.
Operating By Faith
Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
– Galatians 3:5
God supplies the Spirit to us and works miracles through hearing faith. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God (see Romans 10:17).
Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
– Galatians 3:6-9
The blessing of the Lord is the divine empowerment to do exactly what He has called you to do—it is the spoken activation that enables you to accomplish the impossible. If God has blessed you, which He has, and if you’re born again, you cannot be cursed. Start realizing that if you’re born again, you’re blessed and cooperate with that part of your existence.
But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
– Galatians 3:11
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
– Galatians 2:20Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
– Galatians 3:13-14
The blessing of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is upon you. God wants to release such a magnificent blessing, and a faith-filled revelation of the blessing of Abraham on you, that you begin to walk out of all containment and captivity. When the judges come to the land, those who are walking in the blessing are going to begin to overcome in the midst of this present evil age.
Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.
– Galatians 1:4
We are called to rise and shine in darkness and to make the giants of the land our bread and our food. Begin rising up with faith that brings horsepower to break through.
Go back to the Word of God and the fundamentals of faith.
Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
– Galatians 3:15-18
According to Galatians 3, when you believe in Jesus, all 613 laws are met and fulfilled by putting your faith in Him. The law was a schoolmaster to get us to Jesus, and now that you have Him, you believe in the One whom He sent, in His name, and God in the flesh. When you walk in Jesus, you’re walking in the fulfillment of all the law. When you build your faith from that foundation, you can move mountains.
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
– Galatians 3:22-24
Jesus is your righteousness and salvation. The Lord is breaking you through, and He is calling you to rise above the current darkness into the fullness of His purpose. You are anointed for this time. You are empowered to do the impossible, and as you put your trust in Jesus, you will move mountains and overcome the present evil age. This is the hour when the people of God must dive into their faith, recognizing that a yoke-busting anointing is being unleashed.
No bloodline, DNA issue, or tendencies from your family line has any hold over you with Jesus Christ as your Lord. Now is the time to renew your mind and break free with ongoing, good teaching. It stops with you in Jesus’ name; we simply need to place our hearts and minds in the Word of God and set our affections on Jesus.
When you hear of “vain imaginations,” recognize that any imagination not aligned with the Word of God is a trap. The opposite, as Romans 12 describes, is “sober thinking.”
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
– Romans 12:2-3
When your mind and emotions are right-sized by the Word of God, your actions follow. Sin is an emotional activity, but if your thinking is aligned with Scripture, you will not act on those impulses because you are not dwelling on them. The cultural spirit of the Antichrist seeks to imprint an identity shift on people, enticing them to think about things other than God, but if you refuse that and focus your mind on the Word, you will not have those problems.
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
– Romans 7:23
This is the power of the law of the mind referenced in Romans 7. It is a war of the mind, and God is breaking you out of that cycle now. Do not read the Word or pray merely for a feeling; do it out of commitment and discipleship. When you delight yourself in the Word, keep praying in the Spirit, and saturate yourself with good teaching, you will find yourself walking in the blessing.
You must spend copious amounts of time praying in the Spirit and reading the Word of God, mixing the two with faith. If you do not succumb to the pressures of demonic influence but stay in the written Word, you will see horsepower in your life. Do not look at the world or your circumstances with discouragement; instead, recognize that the joy of the Lord is your strength (see Nehemiah 8:10).
We are not operating by might or by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord. You are anointed for this time. The Lord is breaking you through, and He is calling you to rise above the current darkness into the fullness of His purpose. You are empowered to do the impossible, and as you find your identity in Jesus, you will move mountains and overcome the present evil age. The Lord is breaking you through, and He is calling you to rise above the current darkness into the fullness of His purpose.
For Jesus,
Joseph Z
