Strike the Mark: Your Victory Is Underway

Yes, Jesus is still on the throne. He is the commander of heaven's armies, and every soldier in His army matters. I want you to feel that in your bones today. We are not spectators. We are participants. We have been trained, sharpened, and prepared for this hour, and now moving in obedience is required.

God Hears the Groans of His People

Proverbs 29:2 captures the heartbeat of what I feel right now: when the godly are in power, the people rejoice; when the wicked reign, the people groan. There are groanings coming up out of our land, out of our families, out of our churches. The Lord says He has heard them. He heard them in the days of Jeremiah, In the days of Moses in the groaning of Egypt, in the days of Gideon and in the lament of the prodigal. And Now, He hears our longing for righteousness, for justice, for restoration.

“When the godly are in power the people rejoice… when the wicked are in power the people groan.”

This is not a mere political commentary. This is a spiritual pattern. When God's people groan long enough and then come to their senses — like the prodigal recognizing that even pig slop is better than what they have now — the Father moves. He brings us home. He lays out a robe, He rings a signet, He restores us to sonship and authority.

Obedience: The Weapon that Looks Crazy Until It Works

Why has God been teaching us about obedience? Because obedience is the gateway to the supernatural. It did not make sense that a dream about a loaf of bread could raze an enemy camp. It did not make sense for the Red Sea to stand up like a wall. It did not make sense for a stick in bitter water to make it sweet. None of it made sense until it did.

That's the chief lesson: the Spirit asks for things that are foolish to the natural mind but life-giving to the obedient heart. Those of you who have been with us through the long seasons of spiritual training know what I mean. We did the hard work: decreeing, declaring, fasting, pressing in. We were trained for warfare — day in, day out. Over 1,200 back-to-back meetings in four and a half years. We did not do that to collect trophies. We did it to learn how to move with God when the moment comes.

Every Soldier Matters

You have been taught how to decree. You know how to war. The Lord is saying, “Go.” Not just to me, not just to the leadership — to you. If you want to go to war, stop waiting for the perfect plan or the person who will write the decree for you. You have a voice. You have authority. The body of Christ is ready to move in unity and obedience. The more obedient we are, the more the carnal mind will begin to understand after the fact.

Unmasking the Snakes: Lessons from John 8

We read John 8 this morning and I fell in love with Jesus all over again. Picture this: religion comes at Him — the experts, the Pharisees — dragging a woman caught in adultery and demanding stoning. They are trying to trap Him, to find incriminating words so they can charge Him. He bends down and writes in the dirt. They badger and badger. He straightens up, looks at them and says, “The sinless one among you, throw the first stone.” Then He bends and writes again.

“He bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt… They heard it and walked away one by one, beginning with the oldest.”

Do you see the theater? He is unfazed by the snakes. He writes their names in the dust. He knows their violations. One after another they leave — beginning with the oldest. The accusers depart and the woman is left alone with Jesus. He looks at her and says, “Where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She answers, “No one, Lord.” He says, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”

This is prophetic for us. Your accusers are not the final word. The accusations that have chased you, shamed you, and immobilized you are nailed to the cross. Colossians 2:14 tells us the legal record of charges was nailed to Christ's cross. Who accuses you now? No one. The only taunt you suffer is the one you tolerate. Quit tolerating it. Stand up, declare the truth, and go in freedom.

Live on Other Terms — The Way of Jesus

Jesus told them, “You live by what you can see and touch. I live on other terms.” That's the heart of the call to obedience. We are invited to live in the “other terms” of heaven: in faith, in the authority of the Word, in the Spirit. This is not escapism. This is kingdom living. When we practice what He commands — when we speak the words in red and step out in faith — we will not have to meet death with fear. The life He offers is victory over bondage and an ascended authority to act in His name.

Discipling the nation starts neighbor by neighbor. Praying for a co-worker, standing for truth in your community, bringing a hurting family member the Gospel — these are kingdom acts. Collectively they disciple a nation. Obedience looks like these small, holy acts that change the atmosphere.

What’s Really Happening Geopolitically — A Spiritual Interpretation

Now, let me connect spiritual warfare to a larger geopolitical view. You have seen the headlines: warships in the Caribbean, talk about drug boats, naval deployments in South America. The surface story is narcotics. The deeper story is resources, influence, and the struggle for sovereign control of energy, minerals, and supply lines.

Venezuela, Guyana, Colombia — these are not random spots on a map. Whoever controls this triangle controls future energy flows, rare earths, and strategic pipelines. The modern move we are witnessing is a reclaiming of the Western Hemisphere's sovereignty. We are seeing a reset of supply chains and a pushing back of foreign actors (China, Russia, Iran, Islam) seeking influence. Geopolitics often looks like military or economic maneuvering, but the spiritual dimension is real: armies of heaven respond when the King commands.

“Strike the Mark” — A Corporate Decree

We heard a prophetic picture: the Father in the throne room launching laser beams of light into dark strongholds. The hosts in heaven declared, “Strike the mark.” That is our word for this hour. We are joining heaven's command. We declare (you speak it now too) :

Strike the mark. Strike the mark. Strike the mark.
Expose deception. Blow apart the alliances built on lies and theft.
Remove supports and scaffolding that hold up the evil systems.
Restore wealth, justice, and righteousness to the land.

We will not be passive. We will bind Leviathan, rebuke the spirit of deceit, and call the angels to execute the King’s orders. We will call forth lightning arrows into the open mouth of the lie, and watch hiding places of evidence be ripped open. Restoration is on the table. Recovery is at hand. The suddenness of God can shock us into jubilation.

Why “Kings” and Authority Matter

There are people shouting and protesting “no kings” in the streets. This is actually an antichrist sentiment and so now you know the source.  Let me be clear: the Bible never prescribes democracy as the correct civic structure. The greater issue is authority and where it is rooted. The question is: who carries God’s voice? When the godly are in power, the people rejoice. God has always sought righteous leadership that reflects His heart. The king of kings is Jesus, and He places godly leaders in nations when His people rise in unity and obedience.

Do not be afraid of the word “king.” Be afraid of lawlessness and men who rule by cunning, theft, and deception. We are praying for righteous governance; we are praying that the people who steward resources steward them for good. Our faith is not in a political party but in a King who raises leaders to accomplish His purposes.

Practical Next Steps — How You Participate
Pray daily with deliberate decrees. Use the language God has given you. Be specific. Be bold.
Practice obedience in small things. When God says “go,” go. Write the decree, speak the truth, and do the act.
Discipline yourself to disciple others. Ask God who to pray for, who to call, who to visit.
Declare freedom over those accused by the enemy. Nail their accusations to the cross by speaking the truth of Colossians 2:14.
Join corporate gatherings. We go live every morning. We need to be one accord — the army moves together.
A Closing Prophetic Charge

I love Jesus. I love His boldness. He laughed at the snakes and would have you do the same. Don't take the bait. Smile, declare God’s truth, and watch your accusers walk away. We will be the generation that rose into obedience and saw the restoration of righteousness. Angels will move. Nations will be reset. The best days for Canada, America, Latin America — they are ahead of us. Acceleration has begun.

We are not waiting for a perfect leader to save us. We are the ecclesia. We carry the voice of heaven. We will do the things in red. We will strike the mark. We will rejoice when the godly are in power. We are seated in heavenly places and ready to govern with Christ.
