Stand Immovable With No Compromise | Prepare the Road, and Build Community

Good morning. I woke up with breath in my lungs, purpose in my heart, and joy in my spirit. That is where we begin today. We do not start from fear or apology. We start from a posture of thanksgiving and confident expectation. Whatever is happening in the natural is also a prophetic metaphor for the spiritual season we are in. When heaven moves, the natural reflects it. When we stand immovable in faith, God backs us 100 percent.

The Big Picture: When Natural Events Speak Spiritually

I've been watching the political drama unfold in the US and it is instructive. A government shutdown can feel like the end of everything, but if you look with spiritual eyes you will see a pattern. When enough people stand for righteousness and refuse to give concessions that violate truth, God often vindicates the righteous. That's what just happened, the left caved and got none of the vile concessions they were looking for and right stood, giving up nothing.  Like 40 Days in the desert and 40 years to the promised land - the Govt opens after 40 days!  The reopening of the government in that instance was more than policy. It was a sign: when you hold your ground in righteousness, heaven takes your side.

We are not meant to fit in with the world, to give up our callings, or to make concessions when truth is at stake. The world screams for compromise, but the people of God are to be immovable, unwavering, and unapologetic. That posture is not stubbornness for its own sake; it is obedience to righteousness. It is standing on foundations of justice and prayer until God moves.

Anchor Verses: The Vine, the Farmer, and the Call to Fruitfulness

I want to anchor us in John 15 today because Jesus speaks plainly about our identity and purpose. He says, I am the real vine, and my Father is the farmer. Any branch that does not bear fruit gets cut off. Live in me. Make your home in me. The branch cannot bear fruit apart from the vine.

If you are joined to Jesus, fruitfulness is inevitable. But joining requires intimacy. The words of Jesus are meant to be at home in us. When they dwell in us, then what we ask in relation to Jesus will be heard and acted upon. That is faith. The Father is looking for faithful branches. He prunes the fruitful to bear even more fruit. He removes blind ends so that the harvest is increased.

Jesus also tells us plainly that if the world hates Him, it will hate us. This is not a reason for bitterness. It is a reason to remain anchored in the vine, knowing our destiny and calling are higher than ephemeral approval. We were chosen to bear fruit that will not spoil. And when the friend the Father sends arrives, the Spirit of truth will confirm everything about Jesus. The season of signs, wonders, and healings is part of the normal operation of faith-filled branches.

Isaiah 40: Prepare the Road for the King

Isaiah 40 is a word of comfort and preparation: Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Prepare the way. Make the road straight and smooth. Fill in the valleys, level the hills, smooth the ruts, and clear the rocks. This is not just poetic language. It is prophetic instruction.

When God prepares to manifest His glory, He asks us to make way for His presence. We do this by cleaning up spiritual clutter in our lives and in our nations. We declare restoration. We make a straight road for the King. The imagery is vivid: kings do not ride in on bumpy, obstructed paths. A highway fit for God signals that the King is on His way and He intends to move in power.

What Preparing the Road Looks Like Practically
Humble prayer, fasting, and repentance among God’s people.
Consistent declarations of Godly truth over family, community, and nation.
Walking in righteousness, justice, generosity, and mercy so the spiritual “ruts and rocks” are smoothed.
Creating safe, faithful communities where people can be trained, equipped, and released into their callings.
The Season of Suddenlies: Prophetic Confirmations

God spoke to our Member, John,  years ago and said, suddenly. Suddenly you will see circumstances change. Suddenly the Red Sea parts. Suddenly the Jordan opens. The biblical pattern is clear: there is a season of waiting, like the forty days Israel faced, and then an unexpected deliverance appears. Prophetic ministers are already declaring a season of suddenlies, a time when the enemy’s plans are interrupted and the Lord’s purposes break through.

Listen: the natural often precedes the spiritual. There might be a visible shutdown or a pause in the natural realm, but that is the prelude to a spiritual breakthrough. Many of the Old Testament deliverances followed a period of apparent delay. God is sovereign over both the timing and the magnitude of the breakthrough. Stay ready. When the opening comes, move.

Declarations, Binding, and Loosing

We must take authority where God has given it. We bind the powers and principalities that would advance darkness and we loose His righteousness, justice, and mercy. We declare healing, protection, provision, and restoration. We do not scream at the culture and then retreat into fear. We stand, we pray, and we speak the faith-filled words that align us with heaven.

Practical declarations you can carry:

No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
Your favor surrounds me like a shield.
I walk in supernatural ease where others will struggle.
I have been chosen and will move when the door opens.
We Are an Apostolic Training Hub: What That Means

We are far more than a Christian gathering, intercessory group or a reactionary crowd. Our identity is apostolic, mantled in the Elijah anointing. We are a training hub for people who hunger for the fulfillment of their destiny and calling. Many will misunderstand or reject us, and that is often the sign that God is up to something. If you feel like a misfit, you are exactly the person we want. Prophets, apostles, evangelists, teachers, pastors—this is your place to step up and be formed.

We are called to move people out of spectator mode and into the work of the kingdom. That is why I read John 15 this morning. The vine calls us to relational intimacy, obedience, and fruitfulness. Our community will help each person find their role and contribute according to their gifting and calling.

Building the Community: Why and How

We are launching a new online community so that the work of training, praying, and activating can be organized, accessible, and secure. The goal is to create a safe space where members can:

Access recordings, documents, and teaching materials in an organized, searchable way.
Join topical discussion threads and prayer rooms so conversations are useful and searchable.
Use built-in tools like video chat rooms to connect one on one or in small groups, if you opt in.
Participate in events from a single place, with Zoom links embedded for easy access.

This community will not be open to the public. You must become a member, and membership is by consent. That protects the integrity of our conversations and allows us to create a trustworthy environment where ministers and saints can confess weakness, ask for prayer, and be equipped without fear of trolls or harassment.

Membership Principles
Everyone is welcome to apply. We screen for integrity and alignment with our mission.
You control your privacy. You choose whether other members can contact you.
We will moderate to keep the space safe. If someone is disruptive, they will be removed quickly.
Documentation, prayer requests, and teaching will be easily searchable and archived.
Why the Name Matters, and Why You Are Invited

Identity matters. The discussion about domain names and branding is not about ego. It is about clarity. We want a domain that people can remember and find easily. We will create a hub that represents the Decree for the Nations while also making it accessible to an international audience. This community is not limited to one nation. It is for those called to advance the kingdom globally.

Whether you are Canadian, American, Australian, or from anywhere else, you are welcome. This is a training hub populated by people seeking destiny and calling. We will build it organically, listen to input, and adjust as God leads. My intent is to have something usable by the end of the week. From there we will refine and grow.

Practical Tech Notes

Some have asked whether we are leaving Zoom. For now, Zoom gives us the flexibility to present worship, videos, and live interaction smoothly. I use broadcast software that integrates with Zoom so I can play video and music on the fly. Over time we may migrate, but it will be done without sacrificing the worship and the quality of the meetings. The community site will embed the Zoom links and event information for simplicity.

Final Encouragement and Next Steps

We are in a season of preparation and of suddenlies. There will be breaks, openings, and a transfer of favor for those who will remain faithful. I decree that favor will surround you like a shield, that doors will open which only God can open, and that you will have the courage to move when those doors are presented. Humble yourself, pray, and seek God. Do not give up on your nation, your family, or your calling. God hears His people when we humble ourselves and call on His name.

Practical next steps:

Wake each morning with gratitude. Declare, I woke up blessed.
Join the community when it launches and opt into the prayer and training tracks that fit your calling.
Practice simple declarations daily. Speak faith-filled words over your day and your steps.
Serve where you are. The kingdom advances by faithful people doing what God calls them to do.

We are making a road for the King. We level the hills, fill in the valleys, and smooth out the ruts by our prayers, our obedience, and our faithful declarations. The King is on His way. Prepare the road. Move when the door opens. Bear fruit that will not spoil.

May your day be filled with mercy, favor, and supernatural ease. May you be selected where others are rejected. The season of recovery and restoration is upon us. Stand immovable. Walk in joy. Enter into your destiny.
