The Holy Spirit has given the Body of Christ an amazing prophetic word for this season. It is a simple, yet profound declaration from Him. Embrace this word, and it will activate your faith. Romans 10:17 says, “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word [rhema](2) of God.” Rhema means “a spoken word.” The word of the Lord brings faith.
I believe this is a NOW word from God that will empower our faith and activate the body of Christ to believe in the impossible.
1. On Saturday, July 13th, 2024, a bold, courageous word was uttered by former President Donald J. Trump. In the midst of the surprise attack of an assassin’s bullet, while holding his bloody ear, Trump raised his fist and declared, “Fight, Fight, Fight…This was a trumpet blast for all who love America. It was a call to wake up and join the battle for the soul of our beloved nation.
2. Nehemiah knew that God’s people had to fight if they were to accomplish their assignment to rebuild and restore the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 4:14 (NLT) tells us, “Then as I looked over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and said to them, ‘Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!’”
3. How do we “fight” as Christians?
- With high praise and worship (Psalm 149)
- With tears of mourning and prayer for our children and their generation left desolate (Nehemiah 4:14; Matthew 23:37-38; Luke 13:34-35)
- With repentance for our wicked ways (2 Chronicles 7:14)
- With intercession for “God’s kingdom to come and His will be done” in America. We recognize and discern that our battle is “Not against people, but against evil powers …” (Matthew 6:10; Ephesians 6:10-18).
- Pray in the Spirit with all prayer and supplication (Ephesians 6:18)
- Declarations from God’s Word and His awesome promises (Ephesians 6:17; Job 22:28)
- Taking prayer journeys to Washington D.C., your state capital, your neighborhood
- Join prayer efforts such as the Global Day of Prayer we recently had on September 22. If possible, on October 12, 2024 (Saturday), join Lou Engle and the Million Women Esther’s Gathering on the Washington D.C. Mall
- Stay informed on the core issues of the upcoming election
- Make sure your church is active and informed
- Ask your pastor how you can help
- and VOTE
4. Fighting the Good Fight of Faith
The Apostle Paul could summarize his Christian journey as a “fight” of faith and charged leaders to follow his example:
- 1 Timothy 6:12 – “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life…”
- 2 Timothy 4:7 – “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 2:3 –
“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.”
5. Winston Churchill and the Call to Fight (June 4, 1940 – speech given to Great Britain’s House of Commons):
“We shall go on to the end; we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…”(3)
Our God is a mighty Warrior! Isaiah 42:10-13 (NASB) says, “Sing to the Lord a new song, Sing His praise from the end of the earth! You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it. You islands, and those who dwell on them. Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices...Let the inhabitants sing aloud, let them shout for joy from the tops of the mountains. Let them give glory to the Lord and declare His praise in the coastlands. The Lord will go forth like a warrior; He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.”
As we praise and worship, and sing a new song, He fights on our behalf (See 2 Chronicles 20:1-30).
Pray with me:
Father, we were told by You:
“But you need to be aware that in the final days, the culture of society will become extremely fierce. People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly. They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right. With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God. They may pretend to have respect for God, but in reality, they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!” (2 Timothy 3:1-5 TPT)
You also told us not to fear these perilous times, but to fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). You said to war for our families (Nehemiah 4:14), and for Your Kingdom purposes to be accomplished on earth (Matthew 6:10). We will do so, fighting spiritually for protection, restoration and the establishment of Your Kingdom purposes on earth. We will not waver, nor will we fear.
We continue to ask for corruption to be exposed in our land and throughout the world. Protect Israel from the demonic prince of Persia and his instrument of terror, Iran. Overthrow this prince and free the people of Iran from its hold. Send revival to all of the Middle East.
Bring supernatural aid and support to those suffering in the areas decimated by Hurricane Helene. Help organizations get to victims with the help they need - food, water, shelter, power and other essential items. Cause many who do not know You to find You during this time of need. Use this difficult time to spark revival.
I pray all these things in the name of our Lord and King, Jesus. Amen.
Our decree:
We decree that we will continue to fight for the spiritual breakthroughs needed in this difficult hour.
