THIS IS A FEROCIOUS TAKEBACK MOMENT

“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it.” - Matthew 11:12

We have been prophesying this for a while now. We are in a John the Baptist moment. Right now eyes are opening.. In the tail end of a season of spiritual bullying, God is revealing to us WHO WE REALLY ARE, and it's changing EVERYTHING we know.

Let me say it like this - whether you see it yet or not, YOU ARE IN AN AWAKENING after a long season of the enemy’s swirls making you buy into defeat.

But let me prophesy a little today because I feel so fired up on this.

Since we stepped into 2026, I have felt a stirring in my spirit that we are in a TAKE BACK season as the Church.

Really, it’s us as the Body of Christ stepping into who we are called to be and out of the messy wilderness and battles we have been in.

It’s been a five and seven-year window where the enemy has amped up warfare on your seed (I have a word incoming about this) to steal your harvest you needed and expected now…

So we’ve been through a period of time where the enemy has been roaming around like a lion, trying to devour and rob you from many angles for many years.

But the thing is, when we think of robbery, we instantly think about our finances. We think about health. We think about our marriages. We think about all those tangible things, and they’re all true, because they’re the areas closest to home.

But can I tell you what the enemy's ultimate target has been during this period of time? It has been your voice and your destiny, and something the enemy has seen coming that you may not have even realized.

You see, as the Church has been in a shift, coming out of an old religious wineskin into the new, you have also been coming out of an old religious wineskin and coming into a new one. And the enemy could see that you were in line for a mantle upgrade and an anointing upgrade that was going to break the bonds and cause you to step into a place where you were fiercely opposing his plans and taking back territory for the Kingdom of God.

That is why, in these past five to seven years, there’s been such an assignment of depletion and exhaustion and distraction, to get you to a place where, when the shift took place in your life, you were too defeated to step into it.

And I hear the Lord saying, this year, recognize the moment spiritually that you’ve been in. Recognize the spiritual assignment. Detach it from the natural. Detach it from the trauma and the pain of what you’ve gone through, and recognize it for what it is, the assignment against your life from the enemy, the kingdom of darkness opposing the kingdom of life on the inside of you.

The false lion opposing the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the voice on the inside of you. Begin to recognize that there is something so mighty, powerful, and weighty that the Lord has been leading you into, something the enemy has been afraid of.

But let me make this really clear - this is a take-back season for you to step into your mantle. It’s a take-back season for you to take back what the enemy stole.

And as I’m sharing this, I keep hearing the old Sunday school song: “I went to the enemy’s camp, and I took back what he stole from me.”

I keep hearing that this is going to be a take-back season for you personally, your family, your marriage, your voice, and your calling.

It’s also going to be a take-back season for us in our cities, in our regions, and as a nation.

I keep hearing the Lord say that He’s raising up the movers and the shakers to go and stand at the eastern and western walls of nations to fortify the nations in prayer and intercession.

This is going to be a mobilization season where we’re stepping out of old paths and old methods that have been powerless, and stepping into an apostolic blueprint to go and take territories, evict principalities, and begin to establish the Kingdom of God in those places.

Yes, this is going to be a take-back season for the Body of Christ. It’s a take-back season on all fronts. It’s a take-back for families. It’s a take-back for everything that’s been at war in your life, but it’s going to require you to step out of the defeat that’s been over you.

It’s going to take you picking yourself up off the battlefield floor and beginning to shake off the dust of a past season of failure, a past season where everything was against you, a past season of nonstop slander, betrayal, and robbery on every front. You’re going to have to shake it off.

And even as you’re reading this now, I hear the Lord saying, leave your defeat season behind. Leave your sickbed.

Like Jesus wiped the dust from His feet, it’s time to wipe the dust from your feet.

It’s time to step out of the old shroud, the old tattered mantle you’ve been wearing that is no longer conducive to a new season.

You have to step out of that. And you’re going to have to step into not just your mantle—but this is what the Lord said to me, it’s time to step into your office.

If you have ever been unclear or unsure about your calling, this is a moment where the Lord is dismantling you, mantling you, and commissioning you for the office you were born for.

I’ll never forget a man of God’s response many years ago when he was asked, “What is the greatest insulator against warfare?” He said, “Owning and stepping into your office.”

We all know we’re anointed. We’re called. We’re gifted. But few of us have ever recognized the office we belong in.

In fact, the religious old order even used that as a power trip and a form of control, but that’s not what this is. This office is your God-ordained sphere of influence. It carries authority and a realm of dominion that evicts every single principality and power.

It’s a place of decreeing and releasing that ushers in the Kingdom of Heaven. And when you understand your office, you will step into a realm of overcoming. You will step into breakthrough unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Just a few nights ago, I had a dream where I was in a region, decreeing over it for a specific thing. And in the dream, I could feel the authority of my office through the Holy Spirit being released into that region.

What if right now we are in an Isaiah 22:22 season, where the Lord is releasing the keys of David, His governmental reign, and a new governmental season over the Body of Christ?

What if this is the moment where the Lord is saying, “I’m changing the guard,” not just from the old religious order, but from where other religions, idols, false ways, false laws, and false gods have been dominating our lands?

In this hour, the Lord is raising up a governmental Church that knows who they are, who has risen from the ashes of an old season and an old era. He is putting a new mantle on them, and they are stepping into their office to shift and shape nations according to His will and His plans.

Where are those people?

It begins here, Body of Christ. Shake off the dust and begin to take back everything the enemy stole from you in Jesus name.

So here’s my challenge:

Get out of your sickbed this year.

Remember who you are.

Remind yourself of your anointing.

Share below what your office and mantle are.

If you don’t know, ask the Holy Spirit for it.
