Advancing

I felt led to create a prayer post focused on helping the remnant get unstuck, asking the question: "What is in your hands?" This prayer was inspired by Exodus 14:13-18. As I began to pray in tongues, I received a vision. That was the intention, and of course, we follow what He is showing us and pray and prophesy accordingly.

In the vision, I saw Jesus on a chariot, inviting a man on the ground to join Him. The scene changed, and I saw a warrior dressed as a knight riding a horse, followed by other horsemen galloping forward. I heard the shout, "Advancing!" Next, I saw a man lying on the ground, and Jesus kneeled beside him as flames burned in the background. The man came back to life, and Jesus quickly grabbed his arm, lifting him up and bringing him close.

The scene shifted once more, and I saw Jesus and the man walking along a narrow path lined with greenery on both sides, moving toward the rising sun.

I believe the Heavenly Father is reminding us that we are advancing no matter what it looks like in the natural. We are not advancing alone. Heaven's army stands beside us. This is also a call to come back to life and move forward, advance, and tread as we focus on the bright future filled with hope that the Heavenly Father has prepared for us.

And, this is the heart of the heavenly father. Do not cry, for you are not an orphan. Dry your tears, for I have not forsaken you. Lift up your eyes to your helper and see beyond the natural, for Heaven is with you. The God who created the heavens and the earth, the one who shaped the world and crafted the cosmos, is for you. The Lord of Angel Armies is with you, and I am bringing all of Heaven to aid you. I am the real thing, not carved idols or molten images. Have you not realized who you truly have? I am, The great I am.

Remove the mist that is covering your vision. Throw away the bad reports, for Heaven is advancing with you. Open your ears and hear the thousands of chariots galloping and charging forward with you. Have I not told you to put on your armor? The adversary is fierce and relentless in trying to take what I have already given you. The enemy is persistent in robbing you of what the Blood of Jesus has purchased for you.

So rise up from your spiritual slumber. Allow me to fan the flames of your desires, to want what I desire and have planned for you. Dead bones are not your portion. I have breathed life into you to overflow with my life and love. I did not create you for a dreary life, but for a life filled with hope and purpose.

I say to you, come to life and know that I am the Lord. You have been put to sleep, and I say again: rise up! The Blood of Jesus should not be wasted. not a single drop should go to waste. Grab hold of my hand and rise up, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Be fed up with being robbed. Reach your limits with being stolen from. Release yourself from being a pauper and step into your kingship. Overcome darkness, for you are now a child of light. Rid yourself of victimhood, for the Lion of Judah has already triumphed.

Now, advance! Tread upon your promised land. Move forward to the bright future I have prepared for you. The new dawn has broken. do not be caught lying on the ground. Rise up and advance! This is the Heart of the Heavenly Father.

Here are some verses for this word.

Psalm 20:4-9 AMP

May He grant you your heart’s desire And fulfill all your plans. We will sing joyously over your victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed. He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God. They have bowed down and fallen, But we have risen and stood upright. O Lord, save the king. May the King answer us in the day we call.

Psalm 68:16-19 AMP

Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks, At the mountain of the city of Zion which God has desired for His dwelling place? Yes, the Lord will dwell there forever. The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands. The Lord is among them as He was at Sinai, in holiness. You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives. You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there. Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day, The God who is our salvation! Selah.

2 Kings 6:15-18 AMP

The servant of the man of God got up early and went out, and behold, there was an army with horses and chariots encircling the city. Elisha’s servant said to him, “Oh no, my master! What are we to do?” Elisha answered, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “Lord, please, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servants eyes and he saw. and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha. When the Arameans came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord and said, “Please strike this people nation with blindness.” And God struck them with blindness, in accordance with Elisha’s request.

Joshua 5:13-15 AMP

Now when Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” He said, “No. rather I have come now as captain of the army of the Lord.” Then Joshua fell with his face toward the earth and bowed down, and said to him, “What does my lord have to say to his servant?” The captain of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, because the place where you are standing is holy set apart to the Lord.” And Joshua did so.

Jeremiah 10:10-16 MSG

But God is the real thing— the living God, the eternal King. When he’s angry, Earth shakes. Yes, and the godless nations quake. “Tell them this, ‘The stick gods who made nothing, neither sky nor earth, Will come to nothing on the earth and under the sky.’” But it is God whose power made the earth, whose wisdom gave shape to the world, who crafted the cosmos. He thunders, and rain pours down. He sends the clouds soaring. He embellishes the storm with lightnings, launches wind from his warehouse. Stick-god worshipers looking mighty foolish, god-makers embarrassed by their handmade gods! Their gods are frauds—dead sticks, deadwood gods, tasteless jokes. When the fires of judgment come, they’ll be ashes. But the Portion-of-Jacob is the real thing. He put the whole universe together And pays special attention to Israel. His name? God-of-the-Angel-Armies!

John 11:38-44 AMP

So Jesus, again deeply moved within to the point of anger, approached the tomb. It was a cave, and a boulder was lying against it to cover the entrance. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be an offensive odor, for he has been dead four days! It is hopeless!” Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe in Me, you will see the glory of God the expression of His excellence?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised His eyes toward heaven and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me and listen to Me. but I have said this because of the people standing around, so that they may believe that You have sent Me and that You have made Me Your representative.” When He had said this, He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” Out came the man who had been dead, his hands and feet tightly wrapped in burial cloths linen strips, and with a burial cloth wrapped around his face. Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and release him.”

Exodus 14:13-18 AMP

Then Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid! Take your stand be firm and confident and undismayed and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today. for those Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you while you only need to keep silent and remain calm.” The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to move forward toward the sea. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the sons of Israel may go through the middle of the sea on dry land. As for Me, hear this: I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in the sea after them. and I will be glorified and honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and his war-chariots and his horsemen. And the Egyptians shall know without any doubt and acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I am glorified and honored through Pharaoh, through his war-chariots and his charioteers.”
