Introduction
I received the following word from our friend Gina Gholston, and thought it was a good followup to yesterday’s post. Hang in there. Holy Spirit is moving in ways we cannot yet see. Gina’s title:
__________________________________________________________________
The “Fast-Forward” Button
Recently, I felt a sudden urgency in my spirit and heard the Lord say, “Another push in prayer will be required in the days ahead. I am calling My watchmen warriors to go up again!”
While I do not yet know everything that will necessitate this push in prayer, I strongly felt the Lord was instructing me to encourage intercessors. He is saying to us, “Arise and regain your footing. Stand in a readiness to advance. Lift up your heads! Ascend and enter into My presence. Hear and declare My Word, My verdict, and My will.”
The past season has left many in a state of weariness and hope deferred, but I heard the Lord saying, “This is a divine moment. Don’t be entrapped by your emotions. Don’t relax your stand on what I have said! My Word stands! Do not allow weariness to rob you of your due season! Don’t lose hope, and don’t discard your courage! Shake off distractions. Shake off disappointment. Remember My Word! DO NOT DOUBT IT!”
The Lord reminded me of a vision I had a few years ago in which He revealed the necessity of focus and undaunted resolve to keep moving forward with Him. In that vision, I saw a line of people moving toward something. They were working as they moved. The “something” they were moving toward seemed to be far away, and some began to get weary; they stopped where they were and built a house. The others kept moving, but eventually, some of them got weary, and they stopped. The rest kept going. They reached a point where, even though the thing they were moving toward still seemed far away, it was as if a fast-forward button had been pushed, and they were just suddenly “there”!
The Lord then said,
“Many have grown weary while waiting for My promises to be fulfilled. Because I didn’t move in their timing, they thought I wasn’t moving at all. They have grown weary and built their own thing to compensate for My thing. Sadly, they stopped short.
“But to those who have continued to advance and remain focused on Me, I say you are coming into a fast-forward season, and I Am anointing your feet to run forward. All you have done in the past as you have obeyed Me—even when you didn’t understand—has led you to this moment and prepared you for this fast-forward launching. And though it will unfold quickly in the days ahead, it is not a new thing; it’s the fulfillment of an old promise that you kept moving toward because you refused to settle. It was a promise for a “time.” Now is that time, and you will see that for which you have believed. This is a launching into the greater glory. As you arise in agreement with and obedience to My Word, transformation will be unavoidable.”
Intercessors, be encouraged! Your labor has not been in vain. Your co-operation with Holy Spirit in past seasons and in this season matters. His call is “a call to the wall” so we take our place as watchmen. We set our faces like flint toward Him. We are not moved by what we see happening around us! It’s temporary. There is a turning in the works. We believe and declare the promises of our righteous King Jesus. As His ambassadors, we set our words in agreement with His Word and His will, and we are assured that He will work through our obedience and fervent prayers to establish His intentions for our times. Yes, we see the distress that our nation is in currently, yet we are not given to fear or despair. We are given to fervent prayer. We rise with a confident knowing that God is with us and that He will strengthen us!
I feel that God is saying, “I am taking things to another level. Remain steadfast at your post and watch as Holy Spirit and the hosts of Heaven work through and with your prayers and declarations to set things in motion. There is a swift movement coming, but I have prepared you as My rapid responders. As you remain focused and alert, you will receive the impartation of My wisdom, plans, and strategies. As you align yourselves with Me through your obedience, My Word will be released to activate and accomplish the fulfillment of My purposes and intentions for this time.”
There is another push in prayer coming, and the alert watchmen will now arise with a readiness to advance, doing so with wisdom and understanding of the will and purposes of God! We come before Him to hear His mind and counsel, and we will pray and declare the things that are on His heart. As we align our expectations, prayers, and decrees with His will, they will not return to Him without results; they will accomplish all that God desires and achieve every purpose for which He sends them.
Pray with me:
Father, we hear Your call to stand as watchmen on the wall of this nation. We are honored to work with You in Spirit-led prayer. Though the past season has been difficult, we have not, nor will we, relent in our position of faith in You. We refuse to yield to evil and surrender our posts. We shake off weariness and distractions, and take our steadfast stand as Your watchmen on the wall.
Thank You for healing us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so that with renewed focus and strength, we can rise to finish what You have started through us! We trust You, and we will not be afraid. You are our strength and our defense, and You are our Salvation. Your favor is upon us, and You will establish the work of our hands. You, O, Lord, will satisfy us with Your mercy, and we will rejoice and be glad, for we shall see the performance of those things that You have said and shown to us in prayer!
With Your words in our mouths we will declare Your will and Word, and You will watch over those words to perform them. You are anointing our feet to run with You in this fast-forward season, and we will remain alert and focused. We do not look at the things that are seen, but into the realm of the spirit. We take hold with You—and You with us—as we declare Your will and Word as watchmen intercessors. We rise with You, and we believe that You will work through us to strengthen this nation again. America will revive, heal, rise, and reform as the nation You birthed her to be.
Our decree:
In this next push of prayer, we will arise as Yahweh’s watchmen warriors to declare His promises. As we set our words in agreement with His Word, Holy Spirit will work through us to establish His intentions for this time.

Also you can just decree the promises in God’s Word
Thank you so much for continually encouraging us to not give up praying for America
I've been trying to pray by myself but have not heard from the Holy Spirit what to pray, proclaim and decree. Thought it was time I joined Give Him 15 to join other intercessors.
