Victory in March! - Prophetic Word
At the start of every month, we seek the Lord for a word to reveal His heart for the month. This word, generally sets the stage for the month and raises expectations. At the start of this month, we started to pray and to seek the Lord for this word. During prayer, we heard three very specific words, “March for Victory”. At that moment, we saw what seemed to be a large battle field with two confronting armies. A large army confronting a small army. Interestingly I saw myself standing among the smaller army. Then the Holy Spirit reminded me of the many times in the Bible where God’s people were confronted with large armies and when God was fighting for them, they marched towards their enemies and attacked them. They knew that the battle belong to God, and that He was fighting for them. As a result, they were not marching to their death, they knew that they were marching to their victory.
I was reminded of Jonathan when a great Philistine army came to fight the Israel. He marched to his victory, this is what he said, “Let's go across to the outpost of those pagans," Jonathan said to his armor bearer. "Perhaps the LORD will help us, for nothing can hinder the LORD. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!" (1 Samuel 14:6). Interestingly, according to the Roman calendar, the month of March was the time of year to resume military campaigns that had been interrupted by winter.
In the early Roman calendar, March was the first month of the calendar year. As March brought the first day of spring , it was the start of new beginnings. March became the third month when January and February, which were added to the end of the Roman calendar around 700 BCE. Therefore, the month of March, marks the start of new beginnings and it’s NOT a month of fighting battles, rather winning battles, for the Lord Himself will fight for us.
March also marks the beginning of spring. Where like Aaron’s rod, there will be supernatural sprouting, budding, blossoming and a supernatural production of fruit ( Numbers 17:6-8). Many might not understand this supernatural springing up. We need to receive it by faith. Like Jesus explained by saying, “The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens. The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens. And as soon as the grain is ready, the farmer comes and harvests it with a sickle, for the harvest time has come.” Mark 4:26-29.
We pray that every battle is won in your life during the month of March and that fruitfulness will spring up swiftly, He will do it!
