A Warrior Priesthood Now Rising
Worship that is married to obedience, coming from God's servants and ascending from the house of God, will cause the Lord to pour out abundant blessings and revival fire to draw the harvest to Himself. The union of God with such servants allows Him to rule and reign through them. They come and go in His presence, ruling over His courts, as promised by Him to Joshua the high priest in Zechariah 3:7–9.
In a recent word I published, I shared that as the filthy garments are taken off this priesthood, they will be dressed in royal robes. They are the warrior priesthood now rising as kings on the earth in the order of Melchizedek, king of Salem.
"For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated 'king of righteousness,' and then also king of Salem, meaning 'king of peace,'  without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually." (Hebrews 7:1–3 NKJV)
These servants of God are being prepared as plenipotentiaries, invested with authority and possessing full power to transact business and execute judgments on behalf of the Kingdom of God. They will access the "Agency of Spiritual Intelligence" and have authority to rule as kings in the midst of their enemies in a dynamic language, backed by the power of Heaven. These leaders in God's Kingdom are now taking their place, finding the heart of God, and beginning to implement His "end game" strategies for nations.
The First Year of King Cyrus and Donald Trump
In a previous word I published, I spoke about the words "reprieve" and "reset" in regard to the year that Donald Trump won the election, in 2016. Around that time, I was in the Lord's presence praying about the year ahead and the resources needed to implement God's strategies for this season of reprieve, when the Lord spoke to me from the book of Ezra. He led me to reread the word I had written at that time and apply it to this time (many past prophetic words given were for this time).
In the book of Ezra, the Lord began to highlight the words "in the first year of King Cyrus" in relation to Donald Trump!
Many notable things were quickly accomplished in the first year of King Cyrus! This is a pattern we see with kings of the past, present prime ministers, and presidents. Their intent is to get as much accomplished in the first one hundred days and in the first year while they have the wind at their back! They seize the momentum of the moment in their time of favor to push through when prospects for success are at their height!
With everything that is taking place right now, with the resetting of Donald Trump as president, God is commanding His people to pay attention and seize the moment in this first year, when we will be caught up in a sudden acceleration of our King's agenda for our lives and the nations.
"NOW IN THE FIRST YEAR OF CYRUS KING OF PERSIA, that  the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation... Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel (He is God)..." (Ezra 1:1, 3 NKJV, emphasis mine) (Photo via Pixabay)
A Call to Build and a Great Release
In the first year of King Cyrus (now being mirrored for our time) the people of God were released from captivity to build the house of God. There is a call now going out to begin to build—to build the portion assigned to you, to build with sword in hand as recorded in Nehemiah. Nehemiah wept when he saw the devastation and what had been done by the enemy! This is the heart of the warrior, priest, and king modeled after Christ that I have been speaking about. They carry the heart of Jesus our King.
This new presidency is a sign and a wonder, marking the invasion of the Kingdom of God at this time. The Kingdom is moving in to reset the downward spiral into immorality and lawlessness that ultimately leads to demonic chaos in the world.
Heaven moved in response to the anointed prayer of God's servant Daniel who, having read Jeremiah's prophecy, understood that the appointed time had come for the great release! All prophecy will be fulfilled! God is saying to go back to the past words and what He has promised and begin to believe and decree them again! Speak His words with confident authority.
In the first year of King Cyrus,  great spiritual doors supernaturally swung open by the might and power of our God for the release of the people of God to fulfill their destiny—the return to His original intentions for their lives after a season of captivity!  The release of the captives from prison (which was recently ordered by President Trump), I believe, is a prophetic sign of this great release.
God is now getting ready to fulfill His Word! Heaven is now marshaling its troops for the release!  Those who have ears to hear are hearing the sounds of Heaven's call and the blowing of the trumpets gathering the leaders, mobilizing the troops, and preparing for their marching orders! These are the ones that have said YES. They've packed their bags and are setting out into the unknown, trusting God with their lives and their destiny, and trusting the Holy Spirit's direction!
The time has come for every willing person to be released into their call and ministry. These are ministries that, in hiddenness, God has been making the necessary preparations for over the last season. All the needed resources and supplies to accomplish the mandate He has given will be released as steps of faith are taken according to His leading.
A Transfer of Wealth from Three Sources
God is now about to release to His servants the great transfer of wealth prophesied over many years. Why now? Because the time has come to build, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. The book of Ezra reveals three sources from which the great wealth transfer was released to those whose hearts God had stirred to return to build:
First,  finances to build came from people whose hearts God had stirred to give. Supply came through friends and neighbors who chose to remain.
"And in any locality where survivors may now be living, THE PEOPLE ARE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SILVER AND GOLD, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem."  (Ezra 1:4 NIV, emphasis mine)
The second source of supply came by way of the return of all the treasures that had been stolen  during the captivity:
"Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple... those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon.... And he said to him, 'Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.'" (Ezra 5:14–15 NKJV)
Over the years, God has been keeping accounts and records of all that belongs to us, stolen by the destroyer and enemy of our souls. God will command that everything taken—our finances, relationships, joy, hope, and health—be RETURNED! God will bring this to pass!
The third source of supply was the treasuries of the king! The vaults of Heaven are now being opened!  Our Father who owns all the silver and all the gold and the cattle on a thousand hills is well able to supernaturally open any door, at any time! He is also able to open unknown sources of supply and call into being things that are not as though they are! It is important to open our mouths and command these things to be manifest—things known to be the will of God! (Photo via Wikipedia)
"IN THE FIRST YEAR OF KING CYRUS, King Cyrus issued a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: 'Let the house be rebuilt... Let the expenses be paid from the king's treasury.
"'...Let the cost be paid at the king's expense from taxes on the region beyond the River... whatever they need..." (Ezra 6:3–4, 8–9 NKJV, emphasis mine)
The Release of an Army
In a time of intercession, on the day of the inauguration of President Trump, the Lord showed me how that day had lined up spiritually with the great move of God called "The Toronto Blessing," which began in 1994. January 20th (the day of the Inauguration) was the anniversary of this move of God. It was the time of a great induction of hungry saints into the boot camp of the armies of God, whether those that came were aware of this or not. On January 20th, 2025, I believe the doors of the boot camp were opened, releasing a majestic army of the sons of God who were also being sent into their offices and assignments as Donald Trump was taking his oath.
Jesus was released to the fullness of His ministry when He was thirty years old—a ministry of power, signs, and wonders in a challenging time of history that shifted an old wineskin into a new one that was flexible, organic, and pliable in His hands.
The Lord has continued to call me to emphasize the significance of what is being handed to us in this period of history, so as not to waste one moment of this gift of God-given opportunities now being offered to His people.
I believe God is leaving keys and clues through Donald Trump's presidency to give understanding of this time to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Trump is now taking a battering ram to all the demonic systems and structures that have been laid over decades, and God is releasing a people to pick up the pieces and begin to rebuild.
Following the president's example, we must seize the moment, hit the ground running, and make maximum use of the reprieve God has given us. God is graciously making room for His people and for His will to be accomplished in this momentous hour of history "to root out and to tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant" (Jeremiah 1:10).
This period will not last forever;  it will have its conclusion in a future day, and there are important things the Kingdom intends to accomplish during this hour... in the first year of King Cyrus!
