This is a Hei month in a Hei year! Hei is about a window being positioned over you. Every time you say the word “Hallelujah,” it will cause that window to stir. It creates a wind in the window.

Tribe of Judah:

Judah was the tribe of David, the tribe of Jerusalem, and the tribe of Jesus, the Messiah.

The symbol is the lion – Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

The name Judah is used in four distinct ways: the man Judah, son of Jacob by Leah; the tribe descended from Judah; the territory occupied by that tribe; the kingdom established on that territory.

The Jews were a people of praise – it was their very identity. Don’t miss this! Since we have been grafted in, we are also called to be a people of praise. This is who we are! Judah embodied praise, and God used him to teach us how to wage war through the power of praise. So, let’s explore these weapons and learn how to apply them.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:4)

Redemptive Quality: Weapons of Praise

Yādâh (yaw-daw) H3034

This word means “to throw or cast a stone or arrow” and “to extend the hands”, to worship. It expresses a deep sense of acknowledging God’s greatness. Yādâ is an active form of praise that demonstrates trust and total dependence on God and what He will do, not just what He has done. Yādâ is lifting hands not just as a sign of worship but as an act of trust, whether in gratitude, need, or battle.

Scripture References:

Psalm 28:7 “Yahweh is my strength and my wrap-around shield. When I fully trust in You, help is on the way. I jump for joy and burst forth with ecstatic, passionate praise (yādâ)! I will sing songs of what you mean to me!”

2 Chronicles 7:6 “The priest stood at their posts [ready for service] and the Levites also, with the instruments of music to the Lord, which King David had made for giving praise (yādâ) to the Lord, saying, “For His lovingkindness and mercy endure forever,” whenever David offered praise (hālal) through their ministry. The priests were opposite the Levites, blowing the trumpets, and all Israel was standing.”

Yādâh Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Lift your hands in worship as an act of surrender and trust in God’s sovereignty. It is an acknowledgment that He is in control, even when life feels uncertain.

·      Praise God before you see the answer by expressing gratitude for what God will do.

·      Confess your dependence on God, recognizing your need for God’s mercy and strength

·      In this decade of war, throw the stone! Fling an arrow at the strongholds in your life and family when physical, emotional, and spiritual fights surface.

·      As high places are exposed and giants come out to taunt us to bow…throw a stone!

·      Openly share your testimonies of God’s graciousness, faithfulness, and victories.

Tôwdâh (to-daw’) H8426

This word means “thanksgiving” but especially refers to offering thanks before the victory happens and trusting that He will bring deliverance. Tôdâ is not about feelings; it’s about faith. It is choosing to thank God not just after the victory but before it, knowing that He is faithful to fulfill His promises. God is looking for those who have faith to see His prophetic promises fulfilled before they come to pass. Will He find it in you?

Scripture References:

Psalm 50:23 “He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving (tôdâ) honors Me; and to him who orders his way rightly [who follows the way that I show him], I shall show the salvation (victory) of God.”

Psalm 56:11-12 “In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Your vows are [binding] upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings (tôdâ) to You.

Tôwdâh Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Thank God before the breakthrough. Thank Him for His faithfulness before you see the solution. This is about pulling down the strategy from heaven.

·      Raise your hands in surrender and expectation, even when your emotions do not align, as a prophetic act of trust in God’s goodness.

·      Sing, sing, sing and declare His prophetic promises as this will shift the atmosphere and align your heart with His will.

·      Instead of only asking God for what you need, begin to thank Him in advance. This is faith in action.

·      To live by faith, circumstances will not always make sense! So, use tôdâ as a weapon of declaration of faith over fear. This is an acknowledgment that God is sovereign and will bring His purposes to pass.

Bārak (baw-rak’) H1288

Bārak means “to kneel, bow down in reverence, or bless God as an act of adoration.” This form of praise expresses humility, submission, and deep worship. It is often seen at altars, where we physically posture ourselves in surrender, acknowledging God’s supreme authority.

The essence of bārak is lowering yourself in honor of the One being worshiped. It is beautifully displayed in Revelation 5, John entering the royal courts of heaven, captured by the majesty of “the mighty Lion of Judah’s tribe, the root of David who has conquered.” And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures, “they fell facedown at the feet of the Lamb and worshipped him.” Selah!

Scripture References:

Psalm 95:6 “Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel (bārak) before the Lord our Maker.

1 Chronicles 29:20 “Then David said to all the assembly, ‘Now bless (bārak) the Lord your God.’ And (bārak) all the assembly blessed (bārak) the Lord, the God of their fathers, and bowed low and did homage to the Lord and to the king.”

Job 1:20-21 “Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshipped (sāhâ). He said, Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed (bārak) be the name of the Lord.”

Bārak Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Bārak is not about emotional highs but about honoring God no matter what. The purpose of our existence on earth is to honor Him. Please, do not read this flippantly as though you know it; the real question is, do we live it?

·      Bow in humble worship by taking a moment to physically kneel and acknowledge God’s presence.

·      Live with bold humility, always recognizing God’s prominence in everyday life.

·      Spend time blessing the Lord in worship, not once asking for help or making a request. How long can you do this without returning to the “lesser things” of life?

·      Acknowledge God’s authority and honor Him in public before any others receive admiration.

Tehillâh (teh-hil-law’) H8416

Tehillâ comes from the Hebrew root hālal, meaning “to shine, boast, or celebrate.” It refers to a spontaneous, unrehearsed, or prophetic song of praise that flows from our hearts and originates from the heart of God. Scripture tells us that God dwells in the spontaneous praises (tehillâ) of His people.

This type of praise is not only “fitting” for God’s people but also makes them shine with His glory. Tehillâ involves singing directly to God, inviting His presence, releasing joy, and testifying to His faithfulness. It is a powerful expression of intimacy with Him.

Beyond personal worship, tehillâ plays a crucial role in spiritual warfare. It shifts atmospheres, silences the enemy, and ushers God’s presence into the battle. Because God inhabits the tehillâ of His people, it becomes a strategic weapon for victory. A great display of this warfare praise is coming, and those who carry it will shine, revealing His glory to the world!

Scripture References:

Exodus 15:11 “Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor (tehillâ), working wonders?”

Deuteronomy 10:21 “He is your praise (tehillâ) and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.”

2 Chronicles 20:22 “When they began (hālal) singing and praising (tehillâ), the Lord set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so, they were struck down [in defeat].”

Nehemiah 12:46 “For in the days of David and Asaph, in ancient times, there were leaders of singers, songs of praise (tehillâ) and hymns of thanksgiving (yādâ) to God.

Psalm 22:3 “Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises (tehillâ) of Israel.”

Psalm 40:3 “A new song for a new day rises up in me every time I think about how he breaks through for me! Ecstatic praise (tehillâ) pours out of my mouth until everyone hears how God has set me free. Many will see His miracles; they’ll stand in awe of God and fall in love with him!”

Psalm 106:2 “Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the Lord, or show forth all His praise (tehillâ) [due Him]?”

Isaiah 43:21 “The people whom I formed for Myself will declare My praise (tehillâ).”

Isaiah 61:11 “For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise (tehillâ) to spring up before all the nations.”

Tehillâh Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Sing spontaneously in worship, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you in singing a new, unrehearsed song.

·      Create an atmosphere for God’s presence. Since tehillâ is the praise God inhabits, use it to invite His presence. If you feel distant from God, this is a great way to reconnect your heart to His; just let a song of praise bubble up.

·      Tehillâ carries joy, so use it to overcome a spirit of heaviness in this war-ridden season. This will stop you from focusing on the problems (battles) and align your spirit with God’s truth.

·      Sing scripture as tehillâ praise by taking a verse, turning it into a song, and singing it until your mind receives and believes the truth you are hearing. This is a way to renew your mind, because every battle is won or lost here, in the mind.  

·      Territorially, the worshipers are about to be sent out, and when they sing tehillâ, praise God Himself will intervene, because this type of praise is not just worship – it is warfare! Singing Spirit-led praise in the face of adversity confuses the enemy, invites God’s intervention, and leads to supernatural breakthroughs.

·      Tehillâ praise is a weapon that brings victory!

Zamar (zaw-mar)

Zamar praise is worship expressed through musical instruments and singing. It literally means to “pluck the strings”. Zamar is the most common form of “praise” we have across the globe in the church. This type of praise involves skillful playing of instruments combined with singing to glorify God. It reflects both personal and corporate worship that engages musical expressions to honor the Lord. It brings joy, shifts atmospheres, and is a powerful tool in spiritual warfare.

Scripture References:

Psalm 27:6 “And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises (zāmar) to the Lord.”

Psalm 33:2 “Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises (zāmar) to Him with a harp of ten strings.”

Psalm 47:7 “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises (zāmar) with as skillful psalm.”

Psalm 66:2 “Sing (zāmar) the glory of His name; Make His praise (tehillâ) glorious.”

Psalm 138: 1 “I will give You thanks (yādâ) will all my heart; I will sing praises (zāmar) to You before the [pagan] gods.”  

Zāmar Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Use musical instruments to worship God, don’t play one, play your five-fingered instrument while singing a worship song! Let go and have fun with it! Delight in the Lord!

·      Shift the atmosphere with instrumental worship, just as David did on the harp, driving away demonic oppression. Zamar praise can bring peace and healing.

·      Zamar is a powerful weapon as the sounds can break spiritual strongholds, bring God’s intervention, and confuse and dismantle the enemy’s plans. Remember, evil cannot dwell where God’s presence is stronger.

·      Prophetic music (zāmar) releases the sound of heaven into the earth, disrupting demonic assignments.

Hālal (haw-lal)

Hālal means “to shine, boast, rave, celebrate, or act clamorously foolish” before the Lord. It is the root word for Hallelujah (hālal Yah), meaning “praise the Lord.” This type of praise is unrestrained, exuberant, and overflowing with joy, It often includes shouting, dancing, and bold celebration of God’s greatness in public.

David demonstrated hālal praise when he danced with joy as the Ark of the Covenant was brought back to Jerusalem. His uninhibited worship was so passionate that his wife, Michal, ridiculed him for what she saw as a lack of dignity. But true hālal is not about seeking approval from people, it is about glorifying God with abandon, by holding nothing back.

Scripture References:

Psalm 150:1-2, 6 “Praise (hālal) the Lord! Praise (hālal) God in His sanctuary; Praise (hālal) Him in His mighty expanse. Praise (hālal) Him for His mighty deeds; Praise (hālal) Him according to His excellent greatness…Let (hālal) everything that has breath praise (hālal) the Lord. Praise (hālal) the Lord!”

Psalm 113:1-3 “Praise (hālal) the Lord! Praise, (hālal) O servants of the Lord, Praise (hālal) the name of the Lord. Blessed (bārak) be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forever.

From the rising of the sun to the setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised (hālal).”

Psalm 149:6-9 “Let the high praises (hālal) of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute on them the judgment written; this is an honor for all His godly ones. Praise (hālal) the Lord!

2 Chronicles 20:21 “When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the Lord and those who praised (hālal) [Him] in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, ‘Give thanks (yādâ) to the Lord for His lovingkindness is everlasting.’”

Hālal Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Join corporate worship with enthusiasm, not passivity, by dancing, shouting, jumping, and celebrating God with enthusiasm. This breaks fear, timidity, and self-consciousness and unites believers in powerful worship of Jesus, the Worthy King.

·      Testify boldly about God’s greatness without fear, and it will strengthen others’ faith.

·      Hālal shifts the atmosphere as it releases God’s judgment against darkness. When we hālal, the enemy is pushed back.

·      Shouting was part of the strategy that brought Jericho’s walls down. When you praise loudly, spiritual walls fall and release a breakthrough. 

Šhābach (Shaw-bakh’) H7623

Šhābach means “to address in a loud tone” – so let’s get loud! This type of praise is typically associated with freedom or triumph. It’s not just about volume; it’s about giving everything you have in worship. Šhābach is wholehearted, passionate praise that boldly declares God’s authority, power, and victory.

Unfortunately, this kind of enthusiasm is often seen more at sporting events than in worshiping the Creator of the universe, but that is about to change!

Scripture References:

1 Chronicles 16:35 “Then say, ‘Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name, and glory (šābah) to Your praise (tehillâ).”

Psalm 63:3-4 “Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise (šābah) You. So, I will bless (bārak) You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.  

Psalm 117:1 “Praise (hālal) the Lord, all nations; Laud (šābah) Him, all peoples.”

Psalm 145:4 “One generation shall praise (šābah) Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty and remarkable acts.”

Šābah Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Declare God’s victory over your circumstances by speaking or shouting God’s promises over your life, shifting the focus from being powerless to God’s dominance.

·      Take 30 seconds today to shout a victory declaration over your life!

·      Testify to God’s goodness by publicly praising God, with confidence, for what He has done.

·      In corporate worship, release loud shouts of victory, announcing a supernatural atmosphere of breakthrough by driving darkness away. Sounds too easy? It’s really that simple!

Rûah’ (roo-ah’) H7321

This praise means “to shout, raise a battle cry, sound an alarm, or give a blast” in a loud, triumphant way. It is often used in military and worship settings to declare victory, rally the troops, or celebrate God’s power.  

Joshua’s first victory in the Promised Land came through the battle cry, rûa’, as commanded by the Captain of the Lord’s Host. This shout released supernatural power, causing the walls of Jericho to crumble.

Why don’t we hear about these kinds of battle strategies today? Maybe we’re asking the wrong question, just as Joshua did when he asked, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” The response was clear: “No, rather I came now as the Captain of the Lord’s Host.” At that moment, Joshua fell face down in reverence, removing his sandals because he stood on holy ground. Perhaps, like Joshua, we need to shift our perspective and recognize who is truly leading the battle.  

Scripture References:

Joshua 6:16, 20 “And at the seventh time, when the priest had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, ‘Shout, for the Lord has given you the city!’…So the people shouted (rûa’), and the wall fell down flat.”

1 Samuel 4:5-6 “As the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted (rûa’) with a great shout, so that the earth resounded. When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, ‘What does this noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?’ Then they understood that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp.”

1 Samuel 17:20 “So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took [the supplies] and went as Jesse has commanded him. And he came to the circle of the camp while the army was going out in battle array shouting (rûa’) the war cry.”

Isaiah 42:13 “The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse [His] zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout (rûa’), yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.”

Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout (rûa’) [in triumph], O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt the foal of a donkey.”

Ruah’ Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Corporately release a loud, unified battle cry signaling victory before a wall falls, or an idol is beheaded...etc, showing faith in God’s power to destroy strongholds.

·      A rûa’ shout, at the instruction and timing of the Lord, is a declaration that God’s presence is with us and causes the enemy to fear.

·      When facing opposition, get up and respond with loud, confident praise because this will confuse and drive away spiritual darkness.

·      Building confidence and inviting God’s manifest presence happen when we proclaim that He is near with a shout of praise.

·      The quickest way to shift the spiritual atmosphere, when worshipping corporately, is to create a loud, victorious shout, because the enemy recognizes when God’s people are confident in victory.

Mechōlâh (mek-o-law’) H4246

A dance, a choreographed movement of praise. It comes from the root word “machol,” which means a dance, especially a joyful, celebratory dance. It is often associated with victory, rejoicing, and praise to God.

Scripture References:

Exodus 15:20-21 “Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron [and Moses], took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing (mehōlâ). Miriam answered them, “Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously and is highly exalted; the horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.”

1 Samuel 18:6-9 “It happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing (mehōlâ) to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with musical instruments. The women sang as they played, and said, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.’ Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, ‘They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed [only] thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?’ Saul looked at David with suspicion [and jealousy] from that day forward.”

Mechōlâh Praise as a Weapon of War:

·      Dance in faith before the breakthrough happens, physically break open the heavens to release the victory. I’m not a dancer, so it’s not pretty, but I use movement often to unlock.

·      Prophetic dance releases joy and victory within your spirit. Try it!

·      Dancing proclaims God’s power over the enemy, and the triumph places him under Jesus’ feet. We are footstool enforcers, right?

War Strategies:

The apostolic, warring tribe of Judah understood the power of sound. Now is a crucial time to wield these weapons of war, not just in the month of Nisan, but throughout the entire decade, because we wage war through praise. This is how we fight our battles!

We must revisit, relearn, and rehearse these weapons, not just to say, “I already know this,” but to truly master them. Praise should become so deeply embedded in us that it flows out unconsciously. We are seated in heavenly places, and worship surrounds us; it is our identity. Let that sink in; it is who we are (Rev. 4:8-11; 5:1-14).

The entrance of the Tabernacle always faced east, and Judah was positioned on the east to guard the gateway to the Tabernacle. In His infinite wisdom, God is showing us that the way into His presence is through an overflow of praise. God desires to teach us, once again, how to enter His presence and receive His blessings. The key is praise (Psalm 100:4).

Those who will win future battles are those who have mastered the art of worship, just as David did. While sitting on the hillside day after day tending his flock, David wasn’t just watching over sheep; he was developing praise as a weapon of war. His mastery of the skill led to a history of victories with God, starting with a lion, a bear, and culminating with the defeat of Goliath! David’s military success was unmatched. Why might that be, praise?

As Israel journeyed through the wilderness, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun were positioned together on the eastern side of the camp. They led the way, marching out first. The positioning of these three tribes serves as a model for the Ekklesia today. Judah led with worship and war, followed by Issachar, who brought timing, and Zebulun, who provided the supply. Notice the order: worship (God with us), war (to overthrow), timing (for impact), and supply (to advance).

Texas, a prophetic state, might prophetically be the Judah tribe, yet we see very little true worship, an abundance of warring that often feels earthbound, out of sync with God’s timing, and lacking sufficient supply to bring about the transformation, resulting in low impact.

Judah didn’t lead first because of an “apostolic” title, though we often place value on titles. They led because they understood that submission in worship invited God’s demonstration of power. They went low in humility, and this position of submission released God’s strength. Jesus modeled this ascended position for us. His mission on earth was all about fulfilling the Father’s will (John 6:38).

The military strategies of men have always, and will always, fall short compared to the power displays of God through worship. Houston is a living example of this, especially through the year-and-a-half-long assignment to dismantle a political/religious stronghold and break the spirit of death. Since the gathering at Secure the Gates, we’ve witnessed God’s supernatural power to remove two senators and decapitate the head of an idol.

We did the first thing first – we worshiped. But not in the way we typically think, with a band leading us. Instead, we worshiped from hearts overflowing with praise as our weapons. Holy Spirit was in leadership over the gathering, not titles of men – just submitted hearts. The battle was fought in God’s timing, and the impact, well, it’s still unfolding two years later.

This is just a small glimpse of what God is about to do in Houston. Why Houston? Because it is a city that is “home” to the nations, and the prototype established here will have a global impact. “I AM is converging on Hous(e)-ton.” We have eight months left to prepare the way! (Psalm 24).

King David understood that God’s presence was the key to victory. His first spiritual act as king was bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, making it the center of both worship and government. This act wasn’t ceremonial, it was about ensuring that God’s presence went with Israel into every battle. David recognized that Israel’s success depended on restoring God’s presence in their midst. Houston, we are being invited to do the same! Houston is global, so the invitation includes Texas, the USA, and the nations.

Once the Ark was in Jerusalem, David experienced unparalleled military success. Read that again, please! Because David honored God’s presence, he never fought in his own strength, he fought with divine strategy and power. His enemies knew that when the Ark was with Israel, they could not be defeated. Selah! David did not use the Ark as a mere weapon for battle; he built a tabernacle of worship that embraced the various forms of praise, shifting the atmosphere over the kingdom.

Nisan is the season of spring when kings go to war, and this year is the year to take the high places. Last month, in Adar, the Lord began unveiling the “Islamic” stronghold in Texas and many others in the Greater Houston region. These exposures are clear signs that God is ready to give us the strategies for conquest – if we worship.

If we worship first, then the timing and supply of war will align in the coming months. We must move beyond the “declare and decree” panic mode because something has surfaced, and instead rest in our ascended position in worship. The supernatural strategies of heaven await us! This land is Jesus’ inheritance, and has been given to us, through Him (Heb. 1:2; Colossians 1:16; Psalm 2:8; Matthew 28:18; Romans 8:17; Eph. 1:11).  

WARNING: David’s life should make those of us who are older stop and reflect. Consider the stark contrast between his youthful devotion to God and his later complacency as king. In his early years, David was a passionate worshiping warrior, fully dependent on God. But as king, when he failed to go to war, he became passive, which led to many failures – stories we all know, but worth a “look again.”

There will be great leadership tensions between Moses, who led in the wilderness, and Joshua, who went in to take the promised land. Let the Joshuas and Calebs arise! Our dependence on God is our greatest gift to the future generations stepping into leadership, not our answers.

Spiritual Decrees:

·      We are in covenant with you, God, and in true covenant, our enemies are Your enemies, and we fight for one another. So God, you are going to fight for us, and every giant is going to lose. The covenant of the Lord will prevail!

·      This land (region, territory, state, nation, etc) belongs to the Lord; you can try to rewrite its history, shift it into something else, but the land has been given to us to establish His purposes, and because of that history alone, we win each battle.

·      Houston must bow because we are in covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ.

·      We have history with God, and that history is strong and powerful enough to give us the faith we need to face the giants.

·      We defeat the giants by going low and saying, it’s all about you, Jesus.

·      You will cast off all that fear that is trying to tell you or speak about Houston, because the enemy is in fear in Houston.

·      Corruption will be exposed and thieves brought to justice. Just when it seems there will be no justice, God will arise and surprise everyone.

·      We commission Texas to move to this new era level – Way up here in authority and way down here in humility.

Prophetic Promises:

·      Texas may be the worshipping warrior state of Judah

·      We must reach down deep in the heart of Texas and pull out something new from this state.

·      We are shifting from the Ark of the Covenant being hidden in the Holy of Holies to now going before the people into battle and learning how to follow the Holy Spirit.

·      I need my Ark in Houston. I need my Ark established in Houston.

·      I AM sending a revelation beyond of the Ark to you so you can bring that revelation in.

·      I will establish your authority, and you will create a watchman in time for my glory. This watchman group will be aligned and come in and say, we are ready to watch for the glory that God is ready to bring into Houston.

·      I have sent sign after sign to Houston, and my recent sign was Dagon’s head fell off! And I say to you right now, the enemy is in fear in Houston.

·      Houston has never wanted to come together to represent the whole, but this is their day of convergence. I will have the whole I am looking for because I have put a hole in heaven over you, and I am now looking down at you because Houston is that important to me.

·      Houston, I will open doors that have not ever opened before.

·      I will release a new breed of prophetic people that shall ride upon the waters of My Spirit.

·      Water will overflow with such life that you cannot hold it, such variety, such minute details of the protozoa, yes, even the first life which I have ordained for Houston shall be accomplished.

·      God has a remnant that is not afraid to see into the light and the darkness.

·      God is going to have you show up on the battlefront at the right place and at the right time.

·      The Lord says, the enemy has tried to stop the testimony over and over, but I say you have endured, and now the testimony will defeat him.

·      Houston, I will teach you how to turn the devil back into his own fire, and I will raise up a remnant hotter than he can handle.

·      How you war with the Saul structure of this city is how you will reign in your future.

·      The Lord says war with worship, and I am going to be the power of your defense.

Nisan Psalm: That's the Thing About Praise – Benjamin William Hasting

When the rain you want is a flood instead

And the roses bloom, but they're not quite red

When I reach the edge of my bravery

I'll still be singing at the banks of an unparted sea

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah (The only way through it is a hallelujah)

Sometimes the only thing to do is just to give it to Ya (The only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya)

And though my troubles shake me

I know they will never move Ya

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah (hallelujah)

There's what I want, and then there's where I'm at

Every one step forward, got me five steps back

And I cried, I called, God knows I prayed

But most days, faith is climbing up a mountain that stayed

That's why the only way through it is a hallelujah(The only way through it is a hallelujah)

Sometimes the only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya (The only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya)

And although my troubles shake me, I know they could never move Ya

Sometimes the only way through it is a hallelujah (hallelujah)

It don't always fix your problems, but it'll tell ya how small they are

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

It won't always move the mountain, but it's good for the heart

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

You'll never know what it's gonna change, but it'll always leave a mark

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

Yeah, I might see walls start falling, or it might just change my heart

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

That's the thing about praise

Whoa-oh-oh, the only way through it is a hallelujah (The only way through it is a hallelujah)

Sometimes the only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya (The only thing to do is just to hand it to Ya)

And though my troubles shake me, I know they could never move Ya

The only way through it is a hallelujah

That's the thing about praise

You never know what it'll change, change, change

That's why I say hallelujah, hallelujah
