“If They Pray… I Will EXPOSE the Plots of the Wicked”
In a vision, the Lord showed me powerful and influential men and women devising evil strategies that would hurt the general populace of the nations of the earth. I became GREATLY DOWNCAST when I saw the things they had conceived. Then the Lord’s voice broke through, proclaiming, “The gates of Hell shall not prevail against My Church. Urge My people to pray; for if they pray, they will see how I will EXPOSE the plots of the wicked. My children’s cry will release supernatural resources to bring forth provision and stop the adversary in his tracks.
“The scorching wilderness, where many have been barely surviving, and the spiritually dry climate have left many thirsty and desperate for water. To those who are weary and tired, I say: Hold on! I am answering you! I am creating an oasis in the dry and thirsty desert.”
In 2 Kings 3, the story was recorded of the rebellion of the Moabite king against Jehoram, the king of Israel. Jehoram asked the good king of Judah, Jehoshaphat, to ally with him in battle. His strategy included going through the way of the wilderness of Edom. Unexpectedly, seven days into the harsh wilderness, they ran out of water. They were in a dire situation, much like many of you today.
Jehoshaphat called for a prophet to inquire of the Lord for guidance, and Elisha prophesied to him:
“And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches. For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord: He will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.” (2 Kings 3:16-18, KJV)
God Will Move for You Too – Supernaturally!
Elisha gave them a prophetic instruction, “Make this valley full of ditches.” Essentially, God instructed them to PREPARE for what He was about to do. Moreover, the Lord announced, “Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain.” In essence, God was declaring for them to get ready for Him to release supernatural resources for His people. It would not come through natural means like wind or rain but through supernatural means. You may not be able to see how God can work in your dilemma either, but be encouraged, for God will move for you too – supernaturally. (Photo via Unsplash)
I heard the Lord say, “Prepare to see Me move. Get ready for supernatural provision coming to you, your family, and your nation. My water will not only satisfy your needs but exceed them. This supernatural water will be revival, refreshing, and resuscitation to My people. But I won’t stop there. It will also serve as a means of deliverance from the enemy.”
Just as God didn’t stop at filling the ditches with water – He went beyond and used that provision to confuse their enemy – the Lord is doing the same for you.
“And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.” (2 Kings 3:21, KJV)
When I read this verse, it leapt off the page to me like a prophetic headline for today: “The enemy had gathered all that were able to put on armour.” Much like then, today the enemy has gathered a multitude of attacks to surround God’s people in an attempt to intimidate and overwhelm them with his demonic strategies. His aim is for you to surrender your resolve against him.
Refuse to allow his pressure campaign to cause you to retreat from what God has declared is yours. Dig ditches of faith, expecting God’s Word to come to pass. Prepare for everything God has promised.
“And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood.” (2 Kings 3:22, KJV)
Turning the Tables in Your Favor
God used the water that He supernaturally provided as a weapon against the enemy. The “other side” saw the water as blood. Your adversary will see the Blood over you and your situation. Whenever you find yourself under pressure, you can plead the Blood of Jesus. His Blood testifies that you are His, and He is yours. It paid the cost of redemption and tells of your great worth. The Blood rebukes the devil! The Blood speaks, saying, “Don’t come any farther! Don’t touch My child!”
When the Moabites saw the water as blood, they assumed that Israel and Judah must have been defeated and went to plunder their wealth. They had no idea that God had set a trap to bring deliverance to His chosen and defeat those who opposed them. (Photo via Unsplash)
When the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up. The enemy’s plan backfired. Instead of looting the goods of Israel, they were defeated, and Israel looted their goods!
“And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.” (2 Kings 3:24, KJV)
I heard the Lord say, “It is time for the Church to rise up. I am turning the tables in your favor. The enemy’s schemes will not prevail. I am releasing divine resources that will not only revive and refresh you, but also confound your enemy. Do not stay hidden in despair. Rise up! This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. I am calling forth My warrior Bride. Having done all, stand in faith, and watch Me work on your behalf.”
So, to those who are weary and desperate, hold on! God is responding to your cry. He is providing in the wilderness and giving you complete victory over the enemy. Prepare to experience His supernatural water that is flowing to revive, refresh and resuscitate you.
