It’s Time to Rejoice and Build

A prophetic word 03/29/23

Two weeks ago, I woke up to these words from the Lord –

“I’m giving your enemy into your hands.”

I rejoiced and shot out of bed to get my Bible. I knew the Lord gave me a scripture with those words in it.

Here it is-

“BEHOLD, I WILL GIVE YOUR ENEMY INTO YOUR HAND, AND YOU SHALL DO TO HIM AS IT SHALL SEEM GOOD TO YOU” (1 Sam 24:5)

After many months of intense spiritual warfare, fasting, and persistent intercession, I was exhausted and weary. I kept crying out to the Lord and, afterward, thanking Him for hearing me. I heard the Holy Spirit say many times- “keep going.”

I became aware that I had made inroads into the enemy’s camp and it became apparent the Lord in me became a threat so the enemy hit back pretty hard and I experienced very real backlash. But God always has a plan and He never leaves us. He already defeated our enemy at the Cross.

Since the day the Lord gave me that scripture– things began to turn around; praise You, Jesus!

Expect things to turn in your favor.

Beloved, God is giving you your enemy into your hands. It’s time to rejoice!

It’s a time for rejoicing and a time to build into new territory for the body of Christ.

It could mean you are moving into a new geographic region, or you are moving into a new endeavor God called you to or both. You’re facing the enemy, and you’re not backing down.

The body of Christ crossed over in this past season from being long in the desert and also waiting for promises to come to pass.

It’s been an arduous journey in the wilderness. Many are tired still and the Holy Spirit is encouraging rest so you may hear clearly the instruction of the Holy Spirit.

You are taking territory that may be unfamiliar to you but remember, the Lord has already gone before you.

We may be uncertain of the details – know the Holy Spirit is assuring you of what you are to be doing—the when, how, and with who is being made plain right now.

Be encouraged in this new place God has brought you to. Do not shrink back and do not consider the giants in this new territory a threat. The Lord has equipped you to slay them.

Do not consider all you went through in your former seasons a waste. Nothing goes to waste in God’s kingdom. He uses it all for our good.

You have gained wisdom, strength, and clarity in the Lord. He is using it for your good.

The new territory, the rebuilding or building something new, seemed daunting to you and impossible before. You are realizing now how the hardships,  trials, and tribulations you triumphed over prepared you for what is before you. You see, Beloved of the most high God, the Lord will use all that for His Glory!

The Lord has breathed new life into you for this time.

Remember when the Israelites reached their promised land- it was a time of rejoicing, resting, and assessing the layout of the land so they could build and become the nation of Israel.

They had journeyed for a very long time. It was time to celebrate, re-establish, and build. The giants in the land and their enemies got dealt with because the Lord had already planned their victory in that new place.

The Israelites had to simply trust and obey. God is helping you accomplish what was impossible in your former seasons.

He has ordered your steps, and you are victorious in them. Rejoice, giant slayer for Christ!

Scriptures:

Ecclesiastes 3:3

….a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

Nehemiah 4:6

So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.

Psalm 77:14

Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people

Jeremiah 29:11-13

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me you will find me, when you seek me with all your heart”

1 Sanuel 24:4

“David’s men said to him, “Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will hand over your enemy to you, and you shall do to him as seems good to you.’” Then David arose [in the darkness] and stealthily cut off the hem (edge) of Saul’s robe
