The War is Over

Last of all, and maybe the most powerful, is a declaration for many of you reading this. Some people who have faced a battle of a lifetime or ongoing warfare in their health, families, finances, ministries, and jobs are going to come to the end of the war in 2019; a commissioning to cross into what was promised. God has won their war and is going to deliver the victory for Christians – some of whom have prayed, or have been prayed for, hundreds of times for the breakthrough – and they are going to begin to see the release in 2019.

It's like in Daniel 10:12 when the angel comes through with the victory and says, “Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.” There was a war in the heavens causing the angel's delay until supernatural help arrived, and now it's arriving for us. Many people are going to feel their long battles come to an end.

It's funny…I wanted to write about the war being over, but I didn't know if I should give such a general word, as it could be perceived as no more than reading a Christian version of a fortune cookie; but for a week, every time I got into my car a song came on by Bethel Music alumnus, Josh Baldwin: “The War is Over.” I had not programmed this and I hadn't listened to this album (also called “The War is Over”) since I'd purchased it. In it, Josh sings about how it's now time to lay down our weapons of war because Jesus has fought the fight for us.

When wars are over and we move into times of peace, we get to birth new things in the truth of identity, mercy, and victory. We walk in the light and life Jesus has provided. We get to reset and create in the peace of His provision. This is my prayer for you!
