You Are About To Conquer The Night Season
The Lord impressed upon me to consider what certain prophets today are focusing on. Asking “do they talk more about the darkness than the light?” We are children of the light therefore we should always in every circumstance watch for even the tiniest glimpse of light!
“He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet. Mounted on a mighty angelic being, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dark rain clouds.”
Psalms 18:9-11 NLT
Stop for a moment and consider what is in the other side of the darkness you are facing! You may be seeing a tough battle but all the might of Heaven is mounting up on the other side! The enemy is surrounded and he doesn’t even know it because the Lord’s approach is hidden!
“Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.”
Psalms 149:5
Holy Spirit began repeating this verse to me over and over until I opened my mouth and began reciting it to God in prayer. Consider the meaning of this verse. When are we on our beds? When does the enemy like to attack us? In the night season! This speaks of being awakened at night with rejoicing!
With the strength of Heaven you will conquer the “night season”.
The next verse reads:
“Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a sharp sword in their hands—”
Psalms 149:6 NLT
In 2024, as I prepared to visit Washington DC with my children as part of the Family Research Council prayer team for Pray, Vote Stand just weeks before the most critical election of my lifetime, an election that would determine the future of our nation, I heard this verse. This verse armed me for battle.
It illustrates how we conquer. With a heart of worship and praise balanced with the Word of God. Stopping to look up to Heaven with celebration, adoration and thankfulness then advancing cutting open the path ahead by declaring the commands and promises of God. This is the method of movement was used by King David when he learned the proper way to move the ark of the Covenant to the city of David!
“Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.”
Psalms 90:15-16 NLT
We are approaching a great harvest of the fully ripe “fruit” of decades of prayer, hope and expectation!
