Rush on the city, run on the wall, great is His army that carries out His word! Take the city! Fortify the ranks and take the city! This is the day of salvation, the day of release for the captives. I will smite the enemy, cut loose the chains that bind, and break resistance to the Spirit of the Lord.
Go in and possess the land. Reign and rule in the authority of your king. Mighty is the Lord in bat- tle. Great are His deeds. Take courage. I go with you. You are a chosen vessel, a fortified city. I am your defense and strong tower. The gates of hell shall not prevail, so go. Go into battle. Make war against the enemy. Take up the sword and go in to take the land by force. I am giving it to you, putting it into your hands. Go in and take the spoil. Press in. Press in hard. Do not waver, but press in to take the land. Though the enemy encamps round about you, do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God will allow no harm to come to you.
Can you see what I am doing? Can you understand that I am taking back the land from the enemy and out of the hands of those who have trampled My word underfoot? Can you comprehend My marvelous works in your midst? I am the awesome God, the Lord God Almighty, and My kingdom shall be established upon the earth and it shall reach to the ends of the earth. Can you see what I am doing, why I have called you in this day? The ranks are marching forth to storm the gates of hell, to set the prisoners free, bring sight to the blind and liberty to the captives.
Those who are held captive shall be released, says the Lord your God, and they shall come out in joyful procession into the light and liberty of the Spirit. God gives His grace to the humble, but resists the proud. Your God will come. Your king is coming. Come into My presence with singing, into My courts with praise, for I am taking the land out of the hands of the wicked. Watch to see what I do.
Keep focused on Me. I am coming to bring liberty to the captives, freedom to those who have been bound. I will make My name known among the people, among the nations. I will declare My good- ness to the people, to the congregation gathered. I alone will receive glory and honor and praise. I alone am worthy of your praise, of your giving, and of your thanksgiving.
I am moving, riding forth in the earth to tear down the high places, the idols in the temple. I will not tolerate the wickedness of men, the tainted offerings. I will refute every one, every attempt to exalt oneself in the sanctuary. No man will be able to stand in the day of My coming unless He has gone through purging in the fire of affliction. I will take down the high and lofty places, the inconsistencies with the Word of the Lord. I will not tolerate the attempts of the evil one to quench the Spirit, to dam up the river of life that I have let loose in this day. I am coming with a sword to cut away every devi- ant, every illegitimate child birthed in the midst of the assembly. I will establish My rule in all the earth. I will establish a holy legitimate bride, one without spot and wrinkle. I am coming swiftly to take away the weapons of the enemy, to render him helpless and inadequate. Watch to see what I do in your midst. Watch to see how I rise up and take down every enemy. I have gathered My army in the midst of the congregation. I have anointed and ordained it to go forth in authority. This is the day of release for those who have been held in captivity.
This is the day of battle. I have ordained My army to go forth. I have ordained that the Lord reign and rule in His temple in this day. I will rescue My people and lead them out of the hands of the evil-doer. Watch Me. Watch to see what I do. I will protect My own. I will cover them with a blanket of protection.
Wait upon Me. Do not let the words of the evil-doer be received. Wait upon the Lord for His word, for it shall surely go forth in this day. There will be no fruit of the words spoken that are not of the Lord. They are unable to bind the people any longer. I will disarm the enemy, take away his weapons, pull out from under him his platform. This is the day. Get ready, for I am about to release a bomb and the work of the enemy shall be blown to bits.
Orders have gone out. The army is going forth to bombard the gates of hell and to expose everything that has been hidden. I will uncover everything and show it up for what it is, a defilement in My sight, an abomination in the temple. The eyes of the people will be opened and all will see the error.
I have ordained you and I will cause you to go forth in all authority. I have ordained this battle. I have prepared this day. My word is going forth and no demon in hell is able to refute it. I will take down every false front, every cover-up. I will strip naked in front of all, those who are clothed in sheep’s clothing, wolves, the wicked who have been sent out in this day to bring the people into deception. No longer will the enemy be able to hide behind a false front, a smoke screen. I am exposing what is behind the front, the gargoyle, who was able to deceive those in its midst. I am coming with a sword to smite the enemy. I will expose the evil-doer and bring to dust his works and agendas.
I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me shall never die. Repent and turn from your wicked ways, lest you perish in the presence of the Lord, for I am releasing My glory into the temple and they that dishonor the Lord shall be struck down by the power that is at work within My faithful servants.
The party is over for the wicked. The hierarchy of deception has been exposed and will come crashing to the ground. This is the day. This is the hour. The pall-bearers are coming to take the corpses away!
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
