Lately, my mind has shifted more onto a military focus. Although I have no real background in it, I understand the importance of military methods and strategies in regard to the Kingdom of God; like the drills that many men and women who are in the armed forces run consistently. As they walk out their civilian lives, they allow the drills they run to keep them sharp so that they do not forget what they have purposed to do. As warriors in the Kingdom, we are to take a similar posture in the Spirit.

I am feeling a pull and tug in the Spirit concerning prayer and intercession from a watchman's perspective over the nations. But the emphasis is upon the call to pray, to cry out, to travail, to watch, to not be distracted and to not get pulled away by meaningless disagreements about who is the greatest in the Kingdom.

A Posture of Preparation

I believe we have turned a major corner in this new era. There is a stirring in the realm of the Holy Spirit. This is a time of preparation to carry out His specific set of plans for each of us, individually and corporately. These plans are higher than ours and they are selfless at the core, carrying a compassion for change that will impact real people dealing with real issues in a real way. We need to be leaning in and looking into future solutions from what is being revealed by the very heart of God.

Prayer doesn't always quickly remedy things like WE want them to, nor does it always happen in the time WE want it to be resolved. But prayer helps us to properly process things according to the will of God.

When serious situations present themselves, we instinctively rise up to do what we have been prepared to do. Things can truly change when we utilize our fervor and passion as fuel in prayer, blazing new trails.

True intercession burns out our old personal grievances and prepares us to harvest and grow the most important fruit that we need to come forth now; it will feed those who are hungry and malnourished. So the more we press into the Lord God in His fullness, His truths, and His ways, the more Christ is lifted up in the midst of the crisis.

Being fear-motivated is not how we are meant to operate (see 2 Tim. 1:7). Faith in the Lord and what He has given us (power, love and a sound mind) provides clear lenses for us so that we are able to see that He dwells in us and is the hope of glory (see Col. 1:27).

Increase

The increase must take place. He must increase in our lives and we must decrease. I emphasize again that as we live out our civilian lives, we must remain faithful, building and maintaining healthy Kingdom relationships so that we might see the building and maintaining of unity in the Body of Christ. We must run drills in deep prayer and intercession so that we are ready to move at a moment's notice.

We must continue to be diligent in our everyday tasks because they are a key part in shaping the dynamics of our life skills – skills which must come from the understanding of walking out His wisdom, His strength, and His love in grace. This way, when inevitable storms come, the God of Heaven will rise up in us and we will do great exploits.
