We are in a time of great upheaval in which we, as God’s people, need to prophesy the plans of the Lord into the earth realm. Here the Holy Spirit is already brooding over the hidden truth and in this way, the light is separated from the darkness by the light of the revelatory truth (cf. Genesis 1:2-5).
Genesis 1:2-5:
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light ‘day’, and the darkness he called ‘night’. And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day.

As a result, we clearly distinguish the camp of truth from the camp of lies in society.
For some, it will be very shocking to realize what the real truth is, so they will get into an inner battle and have to make a decision which way they want to go on in life.
The Valley of Decision and the Exposure of Wickedness
This situation is akin to the ‘valley of decision’, where the relevant people find themselves at a ‘low point’ (Note: emotional) due to the weight of revelatory truth. This is God’s intervention, which is intended to make people face the decision to follow what is the ‘truth’ or what is ‘lie’.
Each decision brings with it as a consequence a fruit associated with either life in the form of freedom or death in the form of bondage (cf. John 8:31-32; Romans 6:23).
John 8:31-32:
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’
Romans 6:23:
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This ‘valley of decision’ is accompanied by the harvest that exposes the plans of wickedness and uncovers them in their shame (cf. Joel 3:13-14 i.c.w. Isaiah 47:1-4).
Joel 3:13-14:
13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow – so great is their wickedness!’
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
Isaiah 47:1-4:
1 ‘Go down, sit in the dust, Virgin Daughter Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, queen city of the Babylonians. No more will you be called tender or delicate.
2 Take millstones and grind flour; take off your veil. Lift up your skirts, bare your legs, and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness will be exposed and your shame uncovered. I will take vengeance; I will spare no-one.’
4 Our Redeemer – the Lord Almighty is his name – is the Holy One of Israel.

The power of God’s revelatory truth exposes the ferocity of darkness through the prophecies already spoken on behalf of the LORD, so that it cannot hide itself. As a result, the alliances that reside in the darkness are shaken in their relationships, so that their ‘cord’ in the form of connections according to their agenda, namely to bind people in poverty, weakness and religion to break (cf. Isaiah 49:10).
Isaiah 49:10:
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
It is the spoken prophecies in the form of revelatory truth found in the released words that helps to bring freedom (cf. Matthew 8:8b).
Matthew 8:8b:
… 8b But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
… 8b But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
The LORD’s ‘Prayer Model’ and the Release of Revelation
Chuck D. Pierce wrote, mutatis mutandis, in his book ‘The Passover Prophecies’ (Note: page 48) that the LORD taught His disciples how to pray by revealing to them a model of prayer known to us as the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ (cf. Matthew 6:9-13).
Matthew 6:9-13:
9 ‘This, then, is how you should pray: ‘ “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation (Note: testing), but deliver us from the evil one.”
9 ‘This, then, is how you should pray: ‘ “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation (Note: testing), but deliver us from the evil one.”
By having access to the throne room of God, we establish triumph in the natural realm with the revelation obtained there.
In this way, the government of heaven enters our atmosphere and connects with the government of God on earth, resulting in the release of the armies of God and the liberation of the land.
According to Acts 1:13a i.c.w. Acts 2:17-18, it is imperative that we release the revelatory light of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit from the high place of ‘prophetic vision’ (Note: upper room) on earth in order to push back darkness.
Acts 1:13a:
13a When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. …
13a When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. …
Acts 2:17-18:
17 ‘ “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
This release of revelation is related to the power of God’s breath and His consuming nature, which is fire (cf. Acts 2:2-4 i.c.w. John 4:24a; Hebrews 12:29).
Acts 2:2-4:
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Hebrews 12:29:
… 29 for our ‘God is a consuming fire.’
… 29 for our ‘God is a consuming fire.’
Accordingly, let us go forward in the revelatory truth of God and apply it boldly in our lives in the opportunities allotted to us.
Amen and Amen.
