ONE MORE YEAR!
I was recently challenged by a word that Eric Metaxas brought to a group of over 500 intercessors in Washington, DC. We were gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Intercessors for America and to consider the mission before us.
Metaxas, who wrote the best-selling book, “Letter to the American Church,” did not mince words. He admonished the Church to WAKE UP – to rise up in her calling to resist and overturn the demonic agendas destroying our nation. Unlike previous seasons where we may have felt we had time to accomplish our mission, the hour we now live in is extremely short. With the 2024 election just around the corner, he believes we have but one year to turn things around and save this nation. We have just one more year to sound the alarm before it’s too late and lose this nation for good.
My first reaction to his words was to resist the idea that it’s ever too late for God to intervene and change things. And yet, as I considered the bigger picture of our collective momentum from the last three years, I realized this moment is time sensitive. This window of opportunity will soon close. A remnant has risen and is fighting the good fight. But even the remnant has their limits.
Like many others, I wonder if we can even hope for a fair election given past results. Thankfully, that didn’t stop God in 2016. It was the collective prayers and intercession from the saints that broke through the massive corruption to give President Trump that initial victory. But since the stolen 2020 election we have been on a learning curve. We are being tested in our ability to perceive good versus evil and speak up concerning lawlessness and injustice. Knowing what we do now, three years later, our strategies and warfare must change if we are going to see the deliverance we are praying for.
For those who have been championing truth and exposing wolves and charlatans, it has been an intense battle. Shining light on the worldwide demonic agenda, massive media manipulation, and dark deception in high places has been life-altering for many. We are also facing exposures in the Church with various high-profile ministers being accused of immoral and unethical behavior. To be sure, this wakeup call has been unsettling, and yet desperately needed in order to understand the true nature of this battle.
And yet, even as these exposures continue to come into the light, I believe the most important factor that will determine the outcome of this next year – and our future – is not what we expose, but what we AGREE upon. It is our agreement as the Ekklesia of God that will ultimately determine our future. It is our collective oneness of heart and mind that gives us the legitimate spiritual authority to dismantle the principalities and powers aligned against us.
