Worship as Warfare: A Call to Action

A dear sister shared this on Facebook today and it struck home. If I needed to see it then so do others. Be strong in the Lord and the power of HIS might! Eph 6:10

Johnny

To the prophetic people, the watchmen, the worshippers, the intercessors, the apostles, the rebuilders, those anointed for this hour: hear me in the spirit.

Do not be ignorant of the warfare that has come against you.

Many of you have been hit unusually hard. You have felt it in your body. You have felt it in your mind. You have felt it in your sleep, your emotions, your prayer life, your worship, your focus, your strength. Some of you have battled heaviness you cannot explain. Discouragement has tried to sit on you. Distraction has tried to pull you away. Weariness has tried to make you stop praying. Intimidation has tried to silence your voice. Fear has whispered lies. Confusion has tried to cloud discernment. Slumber has tried to steal your fire.

But people of God, this is not random.

The warfare has intensified because the enemy understands something many still do not.

Your worship is warfare.

Your prayers are warfare.

Your consecration is warfare.

Your obedience is warfare.

When a prophetic person begins to worship, things begin to shift. When a consecrated believer begins to pray, chains begin to break. When watchmen arise and begin to intercede, atmospheres shift, strongholds tremble, and darkness begins to lose ground.

This is why the enemy has fought so hard.

There is a reason prophetic people love worship. There is a reason songs come out of nowhere. There is a reason many of you sing unto the Lord. Worshippers carry something dangerous to the kingdom of darkness because worship breaks things. Worship shifts things. Worship tears down what the enemy tried to build.

And the enemy knows this.

That is why there has been unusual warfare against worshippers, watchmen, intercessors, prophetic people, apostles, and those called to rebuild. The enemy has sought to wear down the saints. To discourage the remnant. To drain oil. To silence prayer. To stop worship. To make people back down, quit, compromise, isolate, disconnect, and grow cold.

But hear me clearly:

Do not come down from the wall.

Do not stop worshipping.

Do not stop praying.

Do not stop fasting.

Do not stop singing your new song unto the Lord.

Do not allow discouragement to rob what God placed inside of you.

People of God, the message has not changed.

Prayer still matters.

Holiness still matters.

Repentance still matters.

Consecration still matters.

Worship still matters.

We must return to the altar again. We must return to the secret place again. We must become people of prayer again because prayer is not optional. Worship is not entertainment. These are weapons of war.

And hear me: many of you are closer than you realize.

The enemy does not fight empty people.

He fights purpose.

He fights mantles.

He fights authority.

He fights what threatens darkness.

And many of you threaten darkness.

That is why the pressure has been so intense.

But this pressing will not destroy you.

It will refine you.

What the enemy meant to suffocate, God will use to awaken.

Oil is returning to weary lamps. Watchmen are awakening again. Worshippers are finding their sound again. Prayer warriors who almost gave up are picking up their weapons again. Dry altars are catching fire again.

And I prophesy over you now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ: dry bones shall live again.

I speak to weary prophets, weary worshippers, weary intercessors, weary watchmen, weary builders: arise.

What has felt dry shall live again.

What has felt delayed shall move again.

What has felt buried shall rise again.

Prayer shall be restored.

Worship shall be restored.

The altar shall be restored.

Your fire shall be restored.

Your hunger shall be restored.

Your intimacy with God shall be restored.

The tears will return. The burden for prayer will return. The joy of His presence will return. The sound of worship will return. New songs shall arise again.

What the enemy meant for evil, God is turning for good.

The very attack sent to stop you will strengthen you.

The warfare meant to silence you will deepen your authority.

The fire meant to consume you will purify you.

You will recover.

You will rebuild.

You will arise.

And I decree according to the Word of God: no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Every demonic assignment against your prayer life, worship, calling, mind, family, health, purpose, and destiny is broken in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. You shall not be overcome. You shall not lose heart. You shall not quit. You shall stand and after having done all to stand, you shall remain standing.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, strengthen Your people now. I bind and rebuke every spirit of discouragement, heaviness, fear, intimidation, confusion, slumber, distraction, oppression, delay, hopelessness, torment, and weariness attacking the people of God. We command every spirit operating against prayer, worship, intimacy, consecration, purpose, and destiny to loose Your people now in Jesus’ mighty name. We cancel every demonic assignment, backlash, retaliation, fiery dart, sabotage, delay, and spiritual resistance and cast every unclean spirit attacking Your people into the pit in Jesus’ name.

Lord, release fresh fire. Restore prayer altars. Restore worship. Awaken watchmen. Awaken intercessors. Awaken the prophetic voices. Let weary hands be strengthened again. Let joy return. Let hunger return. Let fire return. Let boldness return. Let strength return. Let the remnant arise in holiness, power, and authority for such a time as this.

Arise, people of God.

Arise and pray.

Arise and worship.

Arise and rebuild.

Arise and take back the ground the enemy tried to steal.

In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

Praise Report 4-30-26

In my daily prayers I always ask for healing, especially for my neck, back, and my guts. I thank God for my healing as He promised us that by His stripes we would be healed, Isaiah 53:5. Jesus also demonstrated this and told us to go out and do likewise (Mark 16:18) and I am recovering just as He said! It may not manifest itself instantly but God heals us over time and by helping us to make the changes we need to make both spiritually and physically in order to make that happen.

For example God showed me how much I needed discipline and self control through my gut issues in particular. I had to do my part in order to be healed and that included changes in my diet and supplements. I had to essentially ditch everything I thought I knew and start over in order for my guts to heal.

Spiritually I was shown how much anger and anxiety I had inside of me that I needed to get rid of, a spiritual cleansing and awakening occurred during the worst of it. Now that I’m coming through the end of that season, I can see how far I’ve come and I thank God for it everyday! I wouldn’t be healing without His grace, I’d still be seeking my answers from the medical world who had no answers! Thanks to prayer and the diet/supplement changes I’ve made my gut issues have been reduced by 90%! Praise the Lord!

My back and my neck issues have also been greatly reduced via the power of prayer and my daily stretching and exercise routine. Before my back and neck were getting progressively worse and I bought into the prognosis and it was holding my progress back, so I decided to believe God’s word instead and pushed through the pain as He instructed me to do and it worked! Last week when I thought about not exercising because of pain I was having the Holy Spirit said “I’ve got your back, go ahead and exercise with no repercussions”. I did it and afterwards I had NO PAIN! Now when issues pop up like my sciatica I pray against it and stretch, maybe put some of my DMSO/Magnesium Chloride mix on it and BOOM it’s gone within minutes! Of course my chiropractor treatments have helped as well but I can only do so many per year (VA pays for only so many) so my main source of relief is prayer and FAITH in the FINISHED RESULT that I want! Combined with the exercises I do my neck and back pain have been reduced by 90%, Praise the Lord!

God also showed me some new information about magnesium and the very important role it plays in our bodies. What I wasn’t expecting to find was how much it can help with BPH/prostate symptoms. I added 2 magnesium glycinate capsules (400mg per day) to what I was already doing, which was a dropper full of DMSO in my morning tea and WOW what a difference it’s made for my symptoms! Once again my symptoms have been reduced by 90% and I thank God for it daily! For more on that here’s my substack link: Magnesium and DMSO for BPH or Prostate Issues.

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes when I’ve been down for the count! Proverbs 24:16 sums it up quite well For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. The grace of God is the ONLY reason I’m still here and the fact that I’m still breathing means He still has a purpose for me! I pray that you are all blessed and in good health as you read this today.

Blessings to you

Johnny
