"March Forward"
“March Forward”
I heard the Lord say, “In the month of March, I am giving My people marching orders. Even during warfare, I am giving them rest. I speak to My people now, ‘Do not be afraid MARCH FORWARD. Do not look to the left or to the right, but keep your eyes on Me. It may look like mayhem all around, but out of the chaos the miraculous is coming forth.’”
When the Lord spoke these words, I saw many standing in a haze of confusion and doubt. The fog of despair had clouded their vision. As I looked on, the Lord said to me, “Today the fog lifts, and prophetic clarity is being released to you. The hour has come for warriors to arise, take their position, and watch My hand bring to them great deliverance. I command them not to remain stagnant. I order them to march forward!”
One of the most powerful visions I have ever had was when the Lord showed me soldiers dressed for combat. They were armed with the latest military equipment, yet they were walking across a children’s playground. These soldiers stepped onto a metal merry-go-round and began spinning in circles. All the while, the enemy was dropping bombs all around them, but they continued going round and round on the merry-go-round.
At that time, the Lord spoke to me and said, “It is time for My warriors to get off the playground and onto the battleground. It is time to break repeated cycles of distraction and failure. I have already guaranteed their victory.” The time has come for the Church to wake up!
In the Book of Exodus, after the children of Israel had finally been released from slavery, and Moses led them through the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, God told Moses that He would harden Pharaoh’s heart and cause him to pursue them, which was all part of a Divine strategy. God had determined that He would demonstrate His power over Pharaoh so that all the Egyptians would know that He is the Lord.
“10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. 11 And they said unto Moses… 12 ...For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness” (Exo. 14:10–12).
When the Israelites heard the Egyptian army marching toward them, it triggered the trauma of their years in bondage. Overwhelmed with fear, they began to long for the familiarity of slavery, believing it would have been better to remain in Egypt. The enemy is skilled at reopening old wounds to obstruct your future.
In their despair, they began to believe that the chains of bondage were better than the uncertainty of the wilderness. What they did not realize was that God had orchestrated this moment so they could witness one of the greatest demonstrations of His power performed for their sakes. Just as it was for the Israelites, so it is for you today. The enemy may try to lure you into longing for your past, but I declare that you are stepping into the greatest season of your life.
“13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord… 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15 And the Lord said unto Moses...speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward” (Exo. 14:13–15).
God said to them, “Go forward.” But how do you go forward when you are standing at the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army marches behind you? The answer is found in Verse 13.
1. First, “Fear ye not.” You must rebuke the spirit of fear. Fear is not merely a feeling—it is a spirit that seeks to paralyze your faith.
2. Second, “Stand still.” Do not run away. Plant your feet firmly on the promises of God’s Word and refuse to be moved.
3. Third, “See the salvation of the Lord.” You must begin to see through the lens of the Holy Spirit that God is moving on your behalf, no matter what the circumstances look like in the natural realm.
This is the hour to march forward. The fog is lifting. Clarity is coming. The cycles are breaking, and the God who brought you out will demonstrate His power in a way that leaves no doubt that He alone is the Lord.
I prophesy that this month of March will be a month of movement for the people of God. Where there has been delay, momentum is coming. Where there has been confusion, clarity is breaking forth. Where the enemy attempted to paralyze you with fear, the Spirit of the Lord is empowering you with courage.
The Lord says, “This is not the season to retreat. This is the hour to advance. For just as I made a way for Israel at the Red Sea, I am making a way for My people now. Situations that looked impossible will suddenly open before you. What stood as a barrier will become a testimony of My power. I am breaking cycles that have held My people in the same place for too long. The merry-go-round seasons are ending. Distractions are being exposed, and My warriors are taking their rightful place on the battlefield. I am awakening My Church to move with boldness, authority, and power.”
I exhort you to watch how the Lord will begin to shift things quickly. What looked like chaos will become the stage for the miraculous. What the enemy meant for destruction, He will turn into Divine demonstration.
