I heard the spirit of God say, “Hit me with your best shot. Fire away.” As I sought God for clarity, he revealed some of the attacks many people have been walking through. I saw one assault after another happening to believers and then I saw Jesus point to a set of keys attached to a person’s pants by a carabiner. He gently asked, “Are you going to use those?” The person looked down and said “Oh yea” realizing they forgot they had the keys on them.

There is an invitation for the body of Christ to take a bold stance of authority over the enemy and begin using the ‘KEYS’ we have been given. The word of God states “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18) I saw the enemy spewing accusations at people and they were creating open wounds on the body, however I saw a greater authority in people begin to rise. As the accusations came at them, before they could hit the person and create another wound, I saw the person catch it and with authority in their mouths they began to speak truth, which prevented the accusation from sticking and creating another wound. Our words are powerful friends! We must utilize the keys of Heaven and be mindful of what we are partnering with. Your body, mind, soul, and spirit are a perfect health zone, and we must not allow the enemy to infiltrate these areas, nor give him access.

I saw people who have ‘laid down’, ‘given up’, and ‘given in’ begin to stand and shake off slumber and complacency. In the shaking they began to awaken and take their authority in Christ. As the body recognized their authority, instead of ‘laying down’, I saw them stand boldly and shouting at the enemy “Hit me with your best shot. Fire away.” I saw fierce warriors rising, a new armor being placed on people, along with a restored confidence and trust in God. I saw those who have been afraid of stepping into ‘new levels’ because of an anticipated ‘new devils’, shift their mindsets out of fear into faith. Instead of anticipating a new battle, I saw an excitement for a new horizon. I saw eyes readjusting from what the enemy ‘can do’, to what God has done, which is ‘won the battle’ and given us ‘keys’ to victory. There is no battle or enemy too big for God and He has fully equipped you in every area of life. He has the answers and strategy for every battle you are facing right now, and you have been given the keys of victory.

As a prophetic act of faith, I encourage you to stand up and shake off everything that has been holding you back and holding you down. Shake off despair, discouragement, disappointment, depression, doubt, fear, oppression, slumber, complacency, and whatever else you may be facing. With your mouth, I encourage you to speak to those things with authority, come out of agreement with the lies/mindsets, and deny them no more access! I declare an awareness, awakening, and discernment to see the accusations before they ‘stick’! I prophesy a stance of bold authority to dismantle the enemy’s agenda. You will not lay down, you will use the keys that have been given to you. You will not hide, you will rise in the name of Jesus. Use your weapons! “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 20:1) War with your worship, war with your words, war with the word of God, war with prayer, war with tongues, war with intercession, war! You are not weak, you are a warrior! Rise and war! Stand up, shake it off, and take your authority in the name of Jesus.

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. NOTHING will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20)

At the end of this vision, I saw believers now shout to God “Hit me with your best shot. Fire away.” I saw a GREAT expectancy RISE in anticipation of experiencing His Goodness, His Faithfulness, and His victory. Where there had been discouragement and doubt, I saw hope and faith rise! I then saw the Father throw cannon balls to the body of Christ and they began to fire them into the enemy’s camp. It’s time to use our keys, use our weapons, and blow up the enemy’s agenda! Start today! Shake it off and step in!

Love & Courage,
