Tomorrow marks a week. A week ago, a significant shift occurred. My husband and I were traveling, meeting family in a popular southern city filled with hospitality and charm. On our way, we had the news on, listening to the “changing of the guard.” I quoted that because I had a dear friend later write to me, with incredible excitement, “there has been a changing of the guard.” That phrase dropped into her spirit during the Presidential Inauguration. She asked me if I felt it and if I was excited. Yes, I felt it and her statement and questioning was just increasing my excitement. I felt it in my bones and spirit. Even as I am typing this, it is firing back up. Since then, there have even been others to use the same phrase. “Changing of the guard.” Do you sense it? In your inner man, can you feel it? Feel it burning deep within?!?!? Come on, get excited! Let your heart be on fire for what God is doing!! Holy Spirit fan that flame!
So many of us have been experiencing the fire of purification and so much more. And we have pressed into it, allowing it to burn away the dross and MORE. The first five years of this decade have been one of cleansing for this appointed time. But now that fire deep within is still burning and can no longer be contained. His fire that I pray we allow ourselves to become accustom to. That it stays with us. Holy Spirit FIRE! Hearts ablaze with HIM!
What we experience in the natural realm also occurs in the spirit realm and vice versa. God speaks/informs us what is taking place or is to take place in this way. The Word of God tells to know the times and the seasons. How do we know the times and seasons? But by paying close attention what is going on in the world. Not to be obsessed with it, but to be alert. To remain alert. To be engaged with the realm we live in and the one we are a part of when we are His. We cannot and should not be like ostriches with our heads in the sand hiding. There are more events happening than ever before indicating we are in what the Bible refers to as the ‘last days’ or the ‘end times’. This should cause us to read and study as much as possible about it in the Word of God. Not to produce fear, but fire!
Fire of excitement. Hearts on fire with excitement, which is exactly what occurred a week ago with the “changing of the guard.” We are living in exciting times.
What does this changing of the guard look like? I believe those that had been in authority represented an elite faction. Those that put themselves in authority and high places. Many may argue the point, but I do believe the election in the USA in 2020 was fraudulent. And what just took place was confirmation for me. The elite faction was removed last week and the ELECT-ed was put in place. God is removing the elite and has been and will continue to. Those that have raised themselves up and taken authority in so many areas….in ministry, business, politics and more. On the very same day last week, the CEO of Planned Parenthood passed. To quote my dear friend more, she wrote, “Not only has there been corruption in our government, but there has been corruption in God’s government.” So many corrupt governments are being dealt with. Be very careful about titles. God called Abram a prophet. Abram did not take that title for himself. Nor did man. This is a time and season that is not about titles. How are you dealing with what God has given you? Let Him be the One to raise you up.

NOW is the time! Time for the elect to rise. HIS elect. To rise up on wings like eagles. To come up higher to the place God has for you. To take the place of your destiny. Resting in Him to do it. Remember, Exodus 20:20 for this decade! A decade of awe and reverence….The Fear of THE LORD!! This is where we need to be. Where we must be to in order to remain humble and not allow pride or ego or fear of man to come in. We are called “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” 1 Peter 2:9-10
The Presidential Inauguration also took place on Martin Luther King day. I do not think was a coincidence. I truly believe that God is tells us we need to take our place as kings and priests in order to take territory for His KINGDOM!! The excitement is tangible and hope deferred is no more. In Genesis 14, Abram is given the promise after Melchizdek king of Salem meets with him. What has God spoken to you about? What has He shown you or promised you that still hasn’t come about? Could it be that now is the time?
May the GRACE of God be with you! Hope in HIM because He is our Hope.
