Most people misunderstand God’s purpose for the wilderness as just waiting. The wilderness is not a place of abandonment; it is a place of divine orchestration. Scripture reveals that God Himself leads His people into the wilderness, not to destroy them, but to draw out true worship. “And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart…” (Deuteronomy 8:2, KJV). The stillness of the wilderness exposes what comfort conceals. It strips away dependence on systems, people, and routines so that your spirit is postured toward heaven alone. This is why Jesus, “being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness” (Luke 4:1). What God initiates in your wilderness is not punishment, it is preparation for power. Yet the tension of the wilderness is that while God ordains it for worship, the flesh often responds with complaint. Watch what you say out of frustration just because you don’t understand. God is listening not only to your words but your heart. Israel stands as a sobering witness: though they were delivered, they murmured and complained. “Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed…” (1 Corinthians 10:10). Complaint is not just emotional expression; it is a misaligned agreement with unbelief. It questions the character of God and resists His process. Worship, however, is alignment. “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). True worship in the wilderness is not based on environment but on revelation. It declares that God is still good when provision looks scarce, that He is still faithful when direction seems unclear. God is worthy of your true worship whether you agree with his ways or not, He is God! Worship silences the voice of complaint and establishes the throne of God in the midst of uncertainty. When you WORSHIP you keep God on the THRONE IN YOUR LIFE!

Saints I really want you to pay attention this week as we are drawing into a new month. The Holy Spirit is going to intensify himself upon you this month. To receive the full package of what he is bringing we need the Spirit of Self-Control in place. The spirit of self-control, as revealed in Galatians 5:22–23, is not given to make you comfortable, His Spirit is given to make you governed. Many have mistaken self-control as permission to manage their environment in a way that protects their feelings, but true self-control is mastery over the flesh, not accommodation of it. Prophetically, this is a season where God is confronting the counterfeit version of this fruit which is the version that avoids pressure, dodges accountability, and disguises passivity as peace. Self-control is not silence when truth should be spoken, nor is it withdrawal when obedience requires engagement. It is the Holy Spirit’s power to bring your appetites, emotions, and impulses under divine authority. Sticking with apostolicity, self-control establishes internal order so that external assignment can be executed without corruption. If you are honest the mixture is still active and God wants it out! The Spirit of temperance or self-control does not produce this fruit so you can curate comfort, but so you can carry weight. When self-control is active, your mouth does not speak prematurely, your emotions do not lead you into error, and your desires do not override divine instruction. This is the discipline of alignment, where your will is submitted to God’s will even when it costs you something. God is raising a people who are not ruled by impulse but by intention, not driven by feeling but anchored in truth. This fruit is your safeguard against self-sabotage in the midst of destiny. The Holy Spirit is exposing what needs to go so do not fight Him submit and be cleansed. The Lord is calling for a recalibration because we have been given an assignment to go forward. Self-control must shift from self-preservation to Holy Spirit-governance. It is not about protecting your comfort zone anymore, it is about stewarding your calling. The same Spirit that empowers you to speak also empowers you to refrain; the same anointing that moves you forward also restrains you from error. This is maturity and you have to grow up in God. When you no longer need external restraint, it is because internal authority has been established. So let the Holy Spirit refine your mind and its responses, discipline your thought and secret desires, and align your actions with God’s will. When self-control is rightly functioning, your life becomes a vessel of precision and responding only to heaven and no longer reacting to the flesh. Pass the test this week!

“Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways” (Job 22:28). Beloved, there is a divine authority being released right now that has been entrusted to those who are submitted and in alignment with God’s Word. Your words are not empty; they are instruments of formation. From the beginning, God demonstrated that worlds are framed by words (Hebrews 11:3), and as His image-bearer, you have been given the capacity to speak in agreement with heaven and see manifestation in the earth. Prophetically, this is a season where your language must shift, because your words are either reinforcing your current reality or releasing your next one. When you decree what God has said, you are not trying to create something new, you are calling out of darkness into existence what heaven has already established. According to Apostolic doctrine, this requires structure, discipline, obedience, submission, and intentional alignment. You cannot build Kingdom reality with contradictory speech, and that's the law. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “death and life are in the power of the tongue…” meaning those whom God has chosen, your words carry creative authority and destructive potential. If your confession is rooted in fear, doubt, or lack, you will remain bound to those cycles. But when your words are governed by the truth of God’s Word, you begin to shift atmospheres, dismantle strongholds, and establish divine order. Jesus modeled this when He spoke to storms (Mark 4:39), fig trees (Mark 11:14), and circumstances, demonstrating that Creation Responds to authority-filled speech. Yes, if God created you can talk to it and if you don’t want to see a thing you can talk to that too!! You are not called to echo your environment; you are called to transform it through agreement with God. So, I encourage you, guard your mouth and govern your declarations. Let your words reflect the promises of God, not the pressure of your present situation. Declare what The Spirit of God has spoken over your life: provision (Philippians 4:19), healing (Isaiah 53:5), victory (1 Corinthians 15:57), and purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). As you align your speech with heaven, you will see light begin to shine upon your path, just as Job declared. Worlds will begin to shift. Doors will open. Pathways will clear. What was once uncertain will become established. Because when your words come into agreement with God, you are not just speaking, you are legislating in the realm of the spirit, and Heaven responds.

The statement “Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated” appears in Malachi 1:2–3 and is later quoted by Paul the Apostle in Epistle to the Romans 9:13 as he addresses the mystery of God’s sovereign purposes. The immediate question Paul raises is: “Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid” (Romans 9:14, KJV). Biblically and theologically, the language of “love” and “hate” in Hebrew covenantal context often refers not primarily to emotional hostility but to election versus rejection in regard to covenantal purpose. This is seen earlier when God chose Jacob over Esau before they were born (Romans 9:11), “that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.” The prophetic foundation for this choice begins in Book of Genesis 25:23, where the Lord told Rebekah: “Two nations are in thy womb… and the elder shall serve the younger.” Thus, the statement in Malachi is not merely about two individuals but about two covenantal destinies, Israel through Jacob and Edom through Esau. God’s love for Jacob represents the channel through which the covenant promises, the Messiah, and redemption history would flow. Theologically, Paul’s argument in Romans 9 is not that God arbitrarily condemns people, but that God’s redemptive plan originates in His sovereign foreknowledge and mercy. Scripture repeatedly affirms that God “declares the end from the beginning” (Book of Isaiah 46:10). Because He searches the heart (Book of Jeremiah 17:10), His election is never unjust; it is perfectly aligned with His omniscient knowledge of character, destiny, and covenant purpose. Esau, as revealed later in Genesis 25:34 and Hebrews 12:16, despised his birthright and demonstrated a disposition that did not value the covenant promises. Jacob, though imperfect, hungered for the blessing and wrestled for it (Genesis 32:24–30). From a Wesleyan perspective, this passage highlights not fatalistic predestination but God’s sovereign initiative interacting with human response God chooses the vessel through whom His covenant moves forward, yet individuals remain morally responsible for their hearts.

Exodus 4:12 declares, “Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.” This is not merely instruction; this is divine commissioning for those God has chosen. When God speaks this to Moses, He addresses insecurity at its root. Moses felt inadequate in speech, yet God did not debate his limitation, He overrode it with His presence. Hear me now because God is removing every excuse as to why you can’t go for Him right now. Prophetically, this reveals that your voice is not validated by your natural ability but by divine partnership. Is fear still your partner or God! God said “I will be with thy mouth” which means God takes responsibility for what flows through His yielded vessels. In this hour, hesitation must bow to obedience. The command is “go,” not “perfect yourself.” Apostolically, movement precedes mastery because God teaches while you are sent, not before. Remember this saints. In the context of the Hebrew year 5786, this decade associated with Pe (the mouth) and this scripture becomes a mandate of alignment. Heaven is emphasizing the requirement of the submitted voice to make declarations and agreement. Enough of letting people with no covenant and no fear of God talk! You are being summoned to SPEAK! If God has spoken it, earth must echo it through you! Your voice is not mean for idle speech or pacifying false workers in the kingdom. Your voice is an instrument of governance. God is saying if you let me I will “teach thee what thou shalt say” and this indicates a divine revelatory assignment. God is calibrating language so that what you release carries His authority. Prophetically, this is a season where silence in the face of divine instruction is disobedience. The Father is demanding that your voice stand as His witness in the earth. When heaven legislates, your mouth must legislate with it. This is not about volume, but about alignment, speaking what God has said with precision and boldness. With apostolic acuity, this text establishes a pattern: sent ones speak sent words. Avoid the went ones in this hour saints, they are Destiny Distractors. You are not authorized to craft your own message; you are entrusted to carry His. You are a Glory Carrier and this Glory Disrupts! This Glory Creates! When your voice aligns with heaven, it produces manifestation in the earth, because God backs what He says, and He backs those who say what He says. The fear of inadequacy, rejection, or mis-articulation must be broken, because your assignment is voice-activated. As it is in heaven, so must it be declared in earth. Therefore, open your mouth without fear because God will be with your mouth when you say YES LORD!!!! He is with your mouth, He is in your mouth, and He is speaking through your mouth now I just need you OPEN YOU MOUTH AND DECLARE IT. Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers it is time to SPEAK!
