Prophetic Word: Victory is in the Air! A Season of Celebration and Joy! ✨
“We were like those who dreamed…our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.”
Psalm 126
Hello, dear friends!
As I spent time with God, I felt the Lord speaking so clearly: "The air is thick with the fragrance of TRIUMPH, and in this season, childlike JOY will be your superpower! Just as a child greets each day with wide-eyed wonder and a heart overflowing with hope, I am calling you to embrace the same spirit.”
In Nehemiah 8:10, we are reminded of a powerful truth: "The joy of the LORD is your strength!"
The Hebrew word for joy in this context refers to a deep, abiding strength and well-being that is rooted in God’s presence and love. This kind of joy grants us supernatural strength to overcome all odds and empowers our spirits during challenging times.
My beloved, the Lord says, “prepare your heart, for I am about to rekindle childlike faith and joy within you! This renewal is a gift, but it also calls for your active participation. Each morning, I invite you to awaken with a heart that is open, trusting, and fully reliant on Me. We will walk this beautiful journey together. The more you yield and release your burdens to Me, the more your faith will flourish and your joy will overflow in My presence.”
Jesus invites us to cast aside the cynicism and doubts that often accompany life's challenges and enter His presence with the innocent, trusting heart of a child.
Childlike faith draws us closer to our Heavenly Father, creating an intimate connection that is pure and steadfast. God rewards those who earnestly seek Him with a heart of faith (Hebrews 11:6).
In Matthew 18:2-4, Jesus beautifully illustrates the importance of humility and faith by calling a little child to Him. He then told the disciples, “I tell you the truth, you must change and become like little children. Otherwise, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. The greatest person in the kingdom of heaven is the one who makes himself humble like this child.”
Jesus reminds us that it’s not our achievements, knowledge, or status that grant us access to His kingdom, but rather a heart that is humble, trusting, and fully dependent on Him. Just as a child relies on their parents, we too are called to rely on our Heavenly Father with the same simplicity and openness. This is the path to true greatness.
What does it mean to have childlike faith?
Trust and Dependence: Children naturally trust their parents and rely on them for everything. They don’t question whether their needs will be met; they simply believe. Jesus wants us to have the same unwavering trust in our Heavenly Father. He desires us to depend on Him fully, without doubt or hesitation, knowing that the Holy Spirit will provide, protect, and guide us.
Humility and Simplicity: Childlike faith is marked by humility and simplicity. Children don’t approach life with pride or complexity; they live in the moment and accept things as they are. Jesus teaches that we must humble ourselves, setting aside our self-reliance and intellectual pride, to embrace the simplicity of the gospel. It’s about recognizing our need for God and surrendering to His will with a pure heart.
Wonder and Awe: Children approach the world with an awestruck sense of wonder, captivated by the simplest things. They get excited about doing things together as a family. Jesus calls us to maintain this same sense of wonder in our relationship with Him. He invites us to be in awe of His creation, His mighty works, and His boundless love. It’s about keeping our hearts open to the mysteries of our faith and being expectant of the miracles that God can perform in our lives.
"Then Jesus, overflowing with the Holy Spirit’s anointing of joy…”
Luke 10:21 (TPT)
One of my favorite Bible stories is in Luke 10, when Jesus sends out 72 disciples in pairs on missions to towns and regions He would later visit. Their mission was clear: to heal the sick, proclaim the kingdom of God, and perform miracles in His name. Along the way, they faced the challenging realities of ministry—some people welcomed them with open arms, while others rejected them outright. Through these experiences, they learned to navigate both acceptance and rejection with grace, staying focused on the mission Jesus had entrusted to them.
It was a journey of trust and boldness, where they had to summon the courage to speak truth, even in the face of hostility. At the same time, the disciples were called to remain peaceful and compassionate, blessing those who received them and shaking the dust off their feet when rejected.
This mission trip tested their endurance, faith, and capacity to trust in God's provision, shaping them into resilient messengers of the gospel.
At some point, the 72 finally returned home. The Bible tells us that when they reunited with Jesus, they returned “with joy,” exclaiming, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name!” (Luke 10:17).
Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven!” (Luke 10:18).
This statement suggests that the disciples' successful mission was a significant spiritual victory, symbolizing the defeat of evil forces!
It’s clear that the trip, even while marked by challenges and triumphs, had transformed the disciples, filling them with a deep, unshakable joy and awe at the power of Christ working through them.
This is not just a story from the past but a prophetic declaration for you today. As you step out in faith in this season, know that the authority of Christ resides in you wherever you go. Just as the disciples witnessed the kingdom of God advancing through their obedience, so will you see spiritual triumph and victory in your own life. The same power that made demons tremble is at work in you, advancing God's kingdom through your every action.
Jesus then told the disciples not to rejoice that the spirits submit to them, but to rejoice that their names are written in heaven. It’s a reminder that our ultimate joy should come from being known and loved by God, not just from the external manifestations of His power on earth. Jesus wanted to protect them from spiritual pride. Then in verse 21, we see a rare and intimate glimpse into Jesus' relationship with the Father.
Here’s what it says: Then, suddenly filled with joy through the Holy Spirit, Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do” (Luke 10:21).
Isn’t that verse incredible?! Jesus shows us that Christlike joy is not merely a fleeting emotion but a deep, spiritual experience rooted in the work of the Holy Spirit. Jesus praises God for revealing the truths of the Kingdom to those who are humble and childlike, rather than to the wise and learned. This doesn’t refer to literal children, but to those who approach God with humility, simplicity, and a heart open to receiving. The "wise and learned" represent those who rely on their own intellect and understanding, often missing the deeper spiritual truths that God reveals to the humble and childlike in faith.
The phrase "filled with joy through the Holy Spirit" is unique in the New Testament. The Greek word used here means “to exult, rejoice exceedingly, or to be overflowing with joy.” This word, combined with the influence of the Holy Spirit, reveals that there’s a supernatural joy we can tap into when our hearts are aligned with our Heavenly Father.
My brothers and sisters in Christ — I believe the Lord is filled with overwhelming joy as He sees you stepping out in faith and succeeding in the mission He’s given you. God delights in how you’re revealing His kingdom to those around you, playing an active role in His divine work. Just as Jesus rejoiced over the disciples, He rejoices over you today, as you continue to be a vital part of His ongoing work in the world. Keep going, knowing that every step you take in faith brings joy to the heart of our Savior and furthers His kingdom on earth.
Luke 10:23-24
Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
PROPHETIC WORD: THE NEXT PHASE
Beloved—get excited—because VICTORY is in the air! God has big plans up ahead, and you are destined to be an active participant in the harvest!
The battles you've faced and the struggles that have tried to weigh you down are coming to an end. King Jesus is bringing new life, strength, and courage to your spirit. In this crucial hour, it’s essential to grab hold of the Word of God, for it is pure honey for your soul (Psalm 19:10). Let the pure substance of God’s Word flow through every crevice of your heart, saturating you with His truth and love.
Now is the time to become a person who passionately chases after our Father with all your heart and soul, desiring His approval above the acceptance of the world. The Lord is calling you to rise up, fully empowered by His Word, and to step into the next phase with confidence and faith.
Victory is yours—walk in it!
The Lord Jesus is infusing you with the power to rise above every difficulty, to stand firm in your faith, and to walk in the fullness of His promises.
As the winds of victory blow over your life, things that once seemed impossible will begin to shift, ushering you into a season of breakthrough and abundance.
Remember, “no weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17).
After testing comes promotion. The trials you have endured were not in vain; they have prepared you for the elevation that is coming. Just as gold is refined in the fire, so too have you been refined through the testing of your faith (1 Peter 1:7).
Now, you are being positioned for greater things. The promotion you have been waiting for is on the horizon, and as you step into this new season, you will see the hand of God moving powerfully on your behalf.
In the Kingdom of God, promotion refers to a spiritual elevation or advancement that the Holy Spirit grants to His people. Unlike worldly promotions, which often come with higher status, power, or material wealth, promotion in God's Kingdom is about a deeper alignment with His purposes and plans. You are often given greater responsibility and increased influence for His glory. For example, the disciples experienced a spiritual promotion when Jesus sent them out in pairs as His representatives. This wasn't about gaining earthly power but about stepping into a higher calling to serve and advance God's kingdom.
When we are promoted, we often have a deep desire to seek a more intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. Our hearts will crave more time in His presence, seeking His guidance, and relying on His strength. Best of all, our lives will be filled with so much love that we will then pour out that same love to others. This time with Jesus is extraordinary because He enables us to carry out our new responsibilities with grace and wisdom. Often during times of spiritual promotion, our dreams will intensify with deeper prophetic revelations and God will show us deeper truths in scripture. We will also have a growing desire to teach people about the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.
MOVING FORWARD
We are in a critical time period right now when our individual countries—and the world—are undergoing drastic changes. We, as God’s people, must arise and navigate this season as leaders who point others back to the Kingdom of God above all else. The Lord is calling us to come up higher, to see everything from His heavenly perspective, and to love people as He does, beyond political affiliations or earthly divisions.
In this promotion, we are being equipped to stand as beacons of hope and truth in a world filled with uncertainty. Our role is to bring God’s light into dark places, to speak His peace into chaos, and to lead with the compassion and wisdom that only come from abiding in Him. As we embrace this higher calling, we must remember that our ultimate allegiance is to the Kingdom of God, and our mission is to draw others into His love and truth.
It’s time to let go of our flesh and stop merely “doing church”—we must start being the church wherever we go. God wants us to return to the foundation of our faith, to realign with our King, and to prepare for the season ahead.
The Lord Jesus is calling us to FOCUS. “Focus, focus, focus.” Focus on Him—the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Also, focus on the areas where you are called to lead others. Do not be swayed by the shifting “culture” or the current cycles of the world. Remember, we become what we consume. Be mindful of what you watch and listen to, especially during this sensitive time. Protect your environment and establish firm boundaries, even with technology. Immerse yourself in the Living Word of God, allowing Scripture to renew your mind and transform your heart (Romans 12:2).
As God’s children, we are not called to be fearmongers. Our King has already declared victory and paid the ultimate price. Because of this, we get to be image-bearers of HOPE to a dark world.
Our words matter—continue to speak goodness and serve as an ambassador of Jesus Christ with faithfulness and courage.
This is your time to shine. Embrace the call to be different. Your character, integrity, and actions should radiate a unique quality that sets you apart, making it clear to others just how much you love Jesus. Your relationship with God is the foundation from which everything else flows, so nurture your faith walk with care and attention, knowing that the more you invest in Christ, the more His light will shine through you.
Choose the narrow path and make every effort to live in peace and harmony with everyone (Romans 12:18). By choosing peace, even in difficult situations, we reflect the character of Christ and uphold the unity that is so vital to our witness as believers.
Beloved, the Holy Spirit has placed some important reminders on my heart to share with you:
Uphold Integrity in All Circumstances: Whether in business, relationships, or personal decisions, let integrity be your unwavering standard. Refuse to cut corners or compromise your values, even when no one is watching. Let your word be your bond, showing that you live by a higher moral code. Be straightforward and trustworthy in your commitments, reflecting the character of Christ in every aspect of your life.
Cultivate a Spirit of Gratitude and Thankfulness: In a culture that often emphasizes entitlement and dissatisfaction, choose to practice gratitude. Gratitude holds immense power. Give thanks to Jesus in all circumstances, recognizing God's provision and sovereignty. This attitude will not only set you apart but will also bring peace and contentment into your life, filling your heart with joy and resilience.
Live with an Eternal Perspective: While society often focuses on the here and now, keep your eyes on eternity. Make decisions with the understanding that this life is temporary and that your ultimate goal is to glorify God and advance His Kingdom. This mindset will shape your priorities, guide your choices, and give you strength to face life's challenges with grace and purpose.
Prioritize Compassion Over Convenience: In a world increasingly captivated by self-interest and a "me-first" mentality, choose to stand apart. Be someone who longs to serve others, even when it’s inconvenient. Extend kindness and love to those in need, listen to the hurting, and be present in the lives of others. Let your actions reflect Christ’s love in every interaction, showing that true fulfillment comes from selflessly caring for others.
Speak Truth with Boldness and Love: Stand firm in your beliefs, but do so with a heart full of grace. Speak truth without being abrasive, ensuring that your words build up rather than tear down. Your commitment to truth will set you apart in a world full of compromise, as you shine the light of Christ with courage and love. Jesus is so very proud of you! You are His beloved child in whom He is well pleased!

"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
