Here in Texas we are not normally equipped for winter weather. Just before I wrote this article, we were seeing 80-degree afternoons. A few days later, however, a very cold front brought in some very frigid temperatures — in the low 20s — and we even had to deal with blackouts. What a difference a day makes.
Accompanying that cold front were some very heavy winds, with distinct howling and whipping noises I could hear from indoors. Suddenly, I heard a very loud cracking sound.
I ventured outside to survey my property, and to my surprise I saw a tree toppled over in my yard. I was shocked to see how those powerful winds had snapped the tree at its base.
This particular tree had been dying: Half was vibrant, while the other half had branches that were bare and no longer producing. For months, I had hoped the tree would recover, but it never did.
Coincidentally, the entire tree didn’t come down, but only the dead half. If that part hadn’t come down that way, eventually the whole tree would have been a loss.
As I stared at that tree, I felt the Lord speaking prophetically to me.
I don’t know about you, but my 2022 was one for books, and not in the best of ways. This year I felt as if I were, like that old tree, completely stripped down. At times I have felt as if my prayers were fruitless. The degree of warfare I faced had left me discouraged, exhausted, speechless. At other times, my prayers felt liquid — no words, just tears. Praise God — He understands the language of tears and groanings. Read more>>>
The White House Apostasy | Jonathan Cahn (12 minutes)

Word of the Lord (December 14-15, 2022):
Praise be to the Lord of hosts, Almighty God, the Alpha and Omega, the great I AM. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, and to His Kingdom there is no end! Praise Him for HE IS HOLY!
Gird Up Your Loins and Activate Your Faith!
The Spirit of the Lord says this day, "Gird up your loins, My children. Gird up your loins! Ready yourselves and be vigilant and prepared for the things that are to occur in your nation and your lives. The enemy roams about like a lion seeking whom he may devour.
"My children, it takes deep faith to weather and bear and persevere through the trials of life. Activate your faith; praise ME that what you have asked for is done!" says the Lord of hosts. "Do NOT let the enemy discourage you in this hour. For there are those the enemy has utilized, whom the enemy has his strings on (even those in the Church), [and] that the enemy shall utilize to discourage and derail the plans that I the Lord have spoken forth and are already occurring in the natural."

Prophetic Words for 2023, Pt. 4 of 4 - with Chris Reed, Charlie Shamp, and Michael Fickess
"Decree: God's Angels Are Bringing Our Prayers to Pass!" -
We decree the angels of the Lord are bringing our prayers to pass!
Mobilizing Angels
In the book of Daniel, Daniel had been praying over the future of his nation and had asked for help and wisdom from God.
We are told that God heard Daniel's prayer the very first day that he started praying and had sent one of the most powerful angels, an archangel named Gabriel, with an answer. However, there was spiritual warfare that took place between Heaven and Earth in the astrological, or atmospheric, Heaven between Gabriel and a demon prince, the spirit prince of Persia.
This spirit prince of Persia was warring against Gabriel to stop him from getting through to Daniel with the answer to the prayer. The battle lasted for 21 days and was quite intense. Read more >>>
The Eleventh Hour S19 #8 - Robin Bullock
The other morning, I woke up early with my soul beginning to strive for some personal things I've been carrying in prayer. I could immediately sense the striving in my heart posture, in my prayers and in my thoughts. This is an easy place to go when something is hanging in the balance between a request and an answer, or a promise and a fulfillment.
Then the Lord quieted my soul and said, "Just sit silently before Me in a posture of trust and take a deep breath."
I reminded my soul that He is never late, He does not forget and He is able to do what I am not able to do. I did not need to strive or force His hand, for He is willing and wise in all of His dealings with me.
"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him." (Psalm 62:5)
Then I remembered the verse above, and a stillness and quiet trust came upon my heart and mind. He is my hope, and I can trust Him so completely that rest replaces worry and stillness replaces striving.
On a Silent Night
In this Christmas season, we remember how mankind waited for a Savior—the Messiah. Then, after a long time of waiting, the angel of the Lord appeared in a field where sheep and shepherds rested to announce that the waiting was over:
