The Lord gave me this word from Isaiah 45:

“Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut:’I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel. For Jacob My servant’s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;”

I believe it is for now and will benefit the Body of Christ through this move of God’s Spirit in us.

God’s anointed people have the following benefits:

We are His anointed. We have an anointing from the Holy One and we do not heed false teachers and winds of doctrine, but the anointing within teaches us concerning all men’s doctrine: John wrote his epistle to the believers to remind them of what they had been taught through apostolic doctrine from the beginning of their faith journey, that is why the Foundation of our faith is so important. When we build our house on the rock of revelation of Jesus Christ the Son of God, and the revelation of who we are in Him and Christ within us the hope of glory, then we will not be shaken by storms. 1 John 2:18 – 27 “Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.  But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.”

Study the life and actions of the Persian King Cyrus further as well to see how he fulfilled Jeremiah’s prophecy and moved a nation back into God’s plan, restoring worship, providing resources for the rebuilding of the temple. Apostolic decrees came from Cyrus based on prophetic intent. Ezra 1; Jeremiah 29:10.

God holds our right hand – and this means strength. He undergirds our strength in life and ministry. What are your strengths?

God’s house is a house of prayer for all nations. Jesus fought for this and paid the price for all nations to enter into Spirit and truth Worship, the kind of worship that God desires.

When we enter areas, God will disarm principalities and powers. We will penetrate the spiritual realm in places for the sake of the people there, those who have chosen to and will choose to call on the name of the Lord and be saved. They c
