I, the Sovereign Lord

Well, I have to say, Friday night's Firelight intercession was truly impressive! Typically, when we gather to appeal to the Lord to transform our local Church and make us able to show forth God's Kingdom, we usually arrive with no certain aspect in mind. But on this night, I arrived with a concern that our Church leaders needed a good dose of courage for the changes ahead.

The reason for that concern is that Christian leaders, in general, have counted upon political influence in Washington to influence the culture. Because we can now expect anti-Christian retribution from Washington, our leaders are going to find they can no longer afford to tow the party line, but will have to take a John the Baptist approach against a growing tide of wickedness. Being outspoken is not what our leaders are known for.

But then we went to prayer and had hardly begun to worship. Normally, a good portion of the start of our evening is spent in worship, but the Holy Spirit clearly had something to say. Worship had barely begun when prophetic prayer began to volley back and forth between Will and me. I can recall only once or twice in my entire life of that ever taking place and it went on non-stop for how long?--I don't know. It could have easily been 30 minutes or 45. All I know is that it was as though the Lord was "in the room" speaking to us and through us in one unbroken stream of thought. There was such a unity that several times, I knew the next thing the Lord was wanting to say and there would be Will proclaiming out the very thing--the very words--I knew were to be spoken!

Unfortunately, it was SO engaging, it wasn't possible to take notes of what the Spirit was saying as I normally do. Man! Was it POWERFUL! Our focus started as an appeal for courageous leaders, but immediately erupted into the Lord proclaiming His DOMINION, declaring that He rules with a rod of IRON, boasting that He LAUGHS at His enemies. Folks, it was the most amazing interweaving of scripture and prophecy extolling the Lord's unrivaled SUPREMACY in the earth. One prophetic proclamation gave way to the next and it was as though each one seemed larger than the prior one. What's more, He was throwing down the gauntlet for the Church to radically rise to the full stature of what she is called to be. It was like tag-team.

Writing this can in no way do any justice to the Lord driving home the fact that a magnificent, faith-filled Church is about to be revealed which will portray to the world the Lord's supremacy! What a glorious hour the Church is about to witness!
