Open the Ancient Gates

We Are the Portals of Glory

“Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Be lifted up, you everlasting doors,
and the King of Glory shall come in.”
—Psalm 24:7

There is a prophetic urgency reverberating in the Spirit. A divine announcement is being released in this hour—not as a whisper, but as a summons. Heaven is declaring something ancient, something eternal, and something time-sensitive:

“The Ancient Gates.”
“They must be opened.”

That is what I heard clearly in my spirit this morning as I communed with the Lord:
“The Ancient Gates... They must be open.”

This was not a suggestion. It was not a meditation. It was a heavenly decree.

We are not standing outside the gates of Heaven, waiting to be invited in.
We are not spectators hoping to see the glory pass by.
We are the gates.
We are the ancient doors through which the King of Glory desires to enter.

This is not only a word for today—it is a mandate for this generation.
Heaven is ready. The King is approaching. The gates must be opened.

What Are the Ancient Gates?

The ancient gates are not architectural relics from the past or abstract metaphors for transition. They are spiritual thresholds—divinely established doorways that link eternity to time, Heaven to earth, and God’s unchanging will to unfolding history.

In Psalm 24, the Hebrew word for "ancient" is olam, meaning everlasting, eternal, timeless—from the vanishing point, stretching back before human records began. These gates existed in God’s design before the earth’s foundations. They are tethered to God’s eternal covenants—covenants made with Abraham and fulfilled through Christ—and are connected to generational promises declared over families, cities, regions, and nations.

They are sacred portals where God’s redemptive agenda touches the earth. Through them flows divine purpose, inheritance, revival, restoration, and righteous dominion. These gates were intended to remain open as access points of glory.

Yet many of these gates have been shut—through rebellion, pride, religious compromise, ignorance, and generational delay. They have been sealed by the failure of prior generations to recognize the weight of what was entrusted to them. But now, in this fullness of time, the Spirit of the Lord is calling for a generation of gatekeepers to arise. Sons and daughters must respond, awakened to their divine identity and priestly authority, and boldly declare:

“Lift up your heads, O you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, that the King of Glory may come in.”

We Are the Gates

This is the mystery hidden from ages but revealed in Christ: We are not only recipients of glory—we are carriers of it.
We are not merely temples—we are thresholds.
We are not spectators—we are portals through whom Heaven flows into earth.

You are a living gate. Your life is a dwelling place of divine presence, prophetic authority, and apostolic flow. You are a spiritual access point through which the King takes territory. You are not incidental to God’s plan. You are the very place where the collision of Heaven and earth occurs.

When the Lord says, “Lift up your heads,” He is not speaking to physical structures. He is speaking to people. To priests. To sons. He is calling you to awaken—to lift your vision, to posture your heart, to come into alignment with Heaven’s agenda.

When your head is lifted, the gate opens.
When your identity aligns, the glory enters.
When your agreement is sealed, Heaven moves.

When the Gates Are Shut

When the ancient gates remain closed, the consequences are significant. Kingdom assignments stall. Generations live beneath their inheritance. Cities groan under oppression. Movements are delayed. Revival becomes theory rather than demonstration. Glory is contained rather than released.

Shut gates empower darkness to remain entrenched. They allow religion to replace revelation and prevent prophetic timelines from being fulfilled. The enemy builds his own counterfeit gates—gates of fear, pride, perversion, confusion, and false identity.

But when the ancient gates are opened—everything shifts.

Heaven responds. The scrolls of destiny are released. Apostolic blueprints come alive. The voice of the Lord thunders again, and the King of Glory enters—not as a guest, but as a ruling King. Generational cycles are broken. Miracles break forth. The presence of God fills the land. What once was bound begins to breathe again.

This is what happens when the gates open.

The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

Jesus said:

“I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
—Matthew 16:18

This was not poetic reassurance—it was a judicial declaration. A prophetic verdict. A war cry.

The Church is not an institution—it is a ruling body. The ekklesia is Heaven’s governing assembly on earth, and we are its members. We do not stand at the gates of hell begging for access. We are the gates through which Christ enforces His reign. We carry the authority of His Name, the power of His Spirit, and the keys of the Kingdom.

When we walk in revelation, in righteousness, and in alignment with Heaven, no gate of hell—no altar of delay, no curse of darkness, no structure of confusion—can prevail. The darkness may build, but it cannot win.

Why the Ancient Gates Must Open Now

Because this is not simply a new season—it is the convergence of kairos and chronos, of prophetic time and earthly time. This is the hour when history must bow to Heaven’s agenda, when the shaking makes way for the weight of glory.

The delay is over.
The King is not knocking softly.
He is commanding entrance.

He is coming with fire, with government, with purity, and with power. He is coming to rule—not just in Heaven, but through yielded sons in the earth.

We are the generation of Jacob—those who seek His face, not merely His benefits. We are the generation that will not delay the move of God any longer. We are the gates. And we will be opened.

A Final Decree: We Open the Gates

Father, in the name of Jesus, from our heavenly position in Christ, we declare:

Let the ancient gates within us—within our families, our children, our homes, our businesses, and our regions—be lifted.

Let every gate that has been shut through fear, trauma, rebellion, religion, ignorance, or delay—be broken open by Your Spirit.

We prophesy:

The gate of our hearts is open.
The gate of our homes is open.
The gate of our children is open.
The gate of our cities is open.
The gate of our callings is open.
The gate of wealth and divine provision is open.
The gate of righteous government and revival fire is open.

We shut the gates of fear.
We renounce the gates of shame and silence.
We tear down every altar of delay.
We silence every demonic gatekeeper that has resisted the movement of Heaven.

And we boldly declare:

Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
That the King of Glory may come in!
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle—He is the King of Glory.

We are the gates.
We are the portals.
We are the generation through whom the King of Glory will come.

And we say: Come in, King of Glory.
Reign here. Reign now. Reign forever.

Amen.

A Better Covenant, Based on Better Promises:

The Power of the New Creation Covenant – Heaven’s Divine Blueprint for a New Species of Humanity

There is a covenant that does not merely reform what was broken. It abolishes the old order and establishes a new creation reality. It is not a continuation—it is a culmination. Not just a fulfillment—but the unveiling of God’s eternal intent hidden from ages and generations, now revealed in Christ and manifesting through His Body on the earth.

This is not a covenant of shadows, sacrifices, or stone tablets. It is a covenant of Spirit, substance, and sonship. Rooted not in ancestry, but in identity. Not sustained by law, but by resurrection power. Not enforced by ritual, but sealed by eternal blood and administered by the indwelling Holy Ghost.

This is the New Creation Covenant—a divine blueprint for a new species of humanity, born not of the will of flesh, but of the Word and Spirit. A royal priesthood of sons, living not from the dust of Adam, but from the breath and dominion of the risen Christ.

“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put My laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds… and I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.” – Hebrews 10:16–17

This is not simply the forgiveness of sins—it is union with Divinity. Not a second chance at life—but new life altogether, with Christ as the Firstborn of a new creation race (Romans 8:29)—the prototype of a people who are no longer of this world, though still in it.

This is the better covenant, secured by better blood, built on better promises—and it changes everything.

The End of the Old Man – The Birth of the New

The New Covenant does not rehabilitate the flesh—it crucifies it. It doesn’t offer sin management—it declares sin’s dominion ended.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me…” – Galatians 2:20

Your old man—bound by sin, tethered to performance, plagued by shame—was nailed to the Cross. You were buried with Him through baptism and raised with Him through faith by the operation of God. The life you now live is not a reformed version of you, but the radiant expression of Christ within you.

This is not religious behavior modification—it is divine nature manifestation.

Sonship, Inheritance, and Dominion

This covenant doesn’t merely bring you near—it births you into the family of God. You’re not a distant observer—you’re an heir, enthroned in Christ, seated in heavenly places, sharing the inheritance of the Firstborn.

“And if children, then heirs—heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…” – Romans 8:17

You don’t labor for identity—you live from it. You don’t strive for blessing—you govern from glory. You are no longer under the tyranny of sin, the weight of lack, or the deception of fear. You have been relocated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of the Son of His love.

The New Creation Covenant repositions you—not as a beggar, but as a builder. Not as a servant from afar, but as a son within the veil, bearing the ring of authority, robed in righteousness, and armed with the scepter of the Spirit.

A Covenant of Fire and Glory

When Sinai thundered, the people trembled and stood afar. But when Pentecost came, the fire fell on men, not mountains. What once rested on buildings now rests within believers.

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16

The Spirit doesn’t visit—you are His permanent dwelling. You are a living ark, a walking flame, a mobile sanctuary of power. This covenant is not written in ink—it is etched by fire. Not maintained by performance—but ignited by intimacy with the Spirit of God.

Grace is no longer a concept—it is a Person living in you. Righteousness is no longer a standard to attain—it is a nature you have received.

A Covenant That Births the Sons

Creation does not groan for religion—it groans for revelation. It waits for the unveiling of a people who know who they are, who walk in what Christ has finished, and who bring heaven’s reality into earthly systems.

“The earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.” – Romans 8:19

This covenant doesn’t raise up consumers of grace—it births distributors of glory. It doesn’t produce spectators in the pews—it launches ambassadors from the throne.

You are the move of God the earth is waiting for. You are the light not hidden. You are the salt that preserves. You are the city set on a hill, the temple filled with glory, the priesthood that carries the ark.

Final Charge: Embrace It. Enforce It. Embody It.

• The veil is forever torn.

• The blood eternally speaks.

• The tomb is irreversibly empty.

• The Spirit is fully poured out.

• And the sons are rising in power.

This is not the hour to retreat—it is the hour to reign. The New Creation Covenant demands boldness, holiness, and a full embrace of your God-given identity.

So rise—
Speak as Christ’s voice.
Walk as Christ’s body.
Rule as Christ’s heir.
Manifest as Heaven’s embassy.

You are not who you used to be.
You are who He says you are—redeemed, raised, and reigning.

This is the Better Covenant.
This is the New Creation Covenant.
Now live like it.

PRIDE

The Ancient War Against the Image of God

There is a spirit in the earth today—ancient, subtle, and deadly. It wears the mask of self-love, self-expression, and self-exaltation. But beneath the surface lies a defiant power that has warred against the image of God since the dawn of time. That spirit is PRIDE.

It was pride that caused Lucifer, once a radiant cherub, to fall from heaven. “I will ascend…I will exalt…I will be like the Most High,” he declared (Isaiah 14:13-14). That declaration of self over submission marked the birth of rebellion—an insurrection not just against God's authority, but against His very image and order.

Pride entered Eden in the form of a whisper: “You shall be as gods.” It lured Adam and Eve into a false promise of freedom through self-rule. But in reaching for divinity apart from God, they lost the very glory that clothed them. Nakedness replaced covering. Shame replaced communion. Pride severed humanity from its divine source.

And today, that same spirit is on full display.

It builds towers like Babel, seeking to touch heaven without surrender.
It enthrones self above truth, celebrating identity apart from the Creator.

It twists love into license, and freedom into defiance.
It trades the glory of God for the affirmation of men.

But pride is not merely an attitude—it is a principality. It is territorial. It is relentless. It resists repentance and despises humility. It fuels rebellion, distorts identity, and challenges every throne but its own.

Yet God, in His mercy, is not silent.

He is raising up a remnant—a people who will not bow to the idols of the age. A people clothed not in pride, but in the righteousness of Christ. A generation who knows that true authority comes not through self-exaltation, but surrender.

We are in a prophetic moment. The battle lines are being drawn—not between people, but between kingdoms. The Kingdom of God is confronting the kingdom of pride. And every throne that is not of Christ is coming down.

It is time to declare war on the spirit of pride.
Not with carnal weapons, but with truth, humility, holiness, and authority.
It is time to confront the false altars of self.
To expose the counterfeit identities birthed in rebellion.
To restore the fear of the Lord, and the glory of the Lamb.

Let every throne of pride be cast down.
Let the throne of Christ be established—in every heart, every home, and every nation.

Pride will fall.
But His Kingdom will never end.

God’s End-Time Strategy for Confrontation, Reformation, and Demonstration!

In this prophetic hour, the Spirit of God is revealing a divine strategy for confronting systemic wickedness, reforming corrupted religious and political structures, and releasing a new generation of sons and daughters who walk in supernatural demonstration and uncompromising obedience.

That strategy is not new — it is found in 1 Kings 19:15–17, when God gave Elijah a prophetic assignment to anoint three men: Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha.

“Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.
Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel.
And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.”
—1 Kings 19:15–16 NKJV

These three carried distinct but interconnected assignments. And in our generation, the Spirit is raising up Hazaels, Jehus, and Elishas again — but this time, not as individual men, but as mantles, movements, and prophetic prototypes for what God is doing in the earth.

The Hazael Anointing — Kingdom Disruption Outside the System

Hazael was not an Israelite. He wasn’t a prophet. He wasn’t from within the house of God. Yet God anointed him as king — to disrupt nations and bring judgment to longstanding wickedness.

In this hour, God is raising up outsiders — leaders and disruptors who are not trained within traditional systems, but have been formed in obscurity. These Hazaels carry a mantle of reformation and confrontation, often without religious credentials, but with Heaven’s assignment.

They are economic reformers, political disruptors, innovators, and apostles in hidden places who have been postured for impact beyond church platforms. They are like Cyrus — anointed though unrecognized by the religious elite (Isaiah 45:1).

“I have found My servant Hazael…” — though the system overlooked him, God did not.

The Jehu Anointing — Confronting Jezebel and Dismantling Control

Jehu is the wild one. The reckless chariot driver. The commander who refused to bow to Ahab and Jezebel. When he was anointed king, he rode with holy fury to confront and overthrow one of the most entrenched spirits of control, seduction, manipulation, and spiritual perversion in Israel’s history — Jezebel.

“Then he said, ‘Throw her down!’” — 2 Kings 9:33

Jehu did what Elijah ran from. He finished what others feared. In this hour, God is raising up Jehus — those who confront the systems and spirits that have infiltrated the church, seduced the culture, and paralyzed the prophets.

These are uncompromising voices with zero tolerance for mixture. Their mandate is not diplomacy — it’s dethroning. They are fierce, bold, unapologetic. They are rising with prophetic accuracy and fearless obedience.

But hear this: Jehu wasn’t a prophet. He was a governmental reformer with prophetic assignment. God is raising up marketplace Jehus — bold CEOs, reformers, influencers, and voices who carry the courage to throw Jezebel down.

The Elisha Anointing — The Double Portion Generation

Elisha was the successor of Elijah, but his ministry was marked by double the miracles, deeper intimacy with the Father, and a mantle of prophetic demonstration that touched kings, widows, armies, and cities.

God is raising up Elishas who have followed in the shadows, who have served in hiddenness, and who now carry a double portion of power, purity, and prophetic insight.

“Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” — 2 Kings 2:14

Elisha asked for the double portion — not of fame, but of function. He wanted the Spirit that rested on Elijah, but multiplied. He represents the sons and daughters rising now, walking in signs, wonders, creative miracles, governmental insight, and purity of character. These Elishas don’t seek attention — they seek effectiveness.

They are prophets to nations, healers in the streets, and reformers in education, media, government, and the church. They carry the mantle of multiplied impact, not just succession.

Why Now? Why This Revelation?

Because we are in a divine confrontation with systems of idolatry, perversion, and powerlessness. Religion has sedated the Church. Jezebel has seduced the prophets. Systems have obscured sons. But God is shaking everything that can be shaken (Hebrews 12:27) — and the rise of Jehu, Hazael, and Elisha is His divine solution.

This revelation has come to awaken those who feel voiceless, hidden, unqualified. To those not invited to the platform, but chosen by Heaven — this is your time.

You are the spiritual disrupters, the hidden arrows, the awakening agents. You are being summoned from caves, from wildernesses, from places of obscurity — not to blend in, but to overthrow, to reform, and to demonstrate the Kingdom with fire.

A Prophetic Prayer Declaration

“Father, we receive the mantles of Jehu, Hazael, and Elisha in this generation.
We declare that Jezebel will fall, systems will be shaken, and double portion sons and daughters will rise.
We yield to the fire of Your Spirit and the obedience of the moment.
Make us answers in a time of shaking.
Let the awakening begin — through us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Final Word: You Are the Sound of the Awakening

Jehu rides with fury. Hazael disrupts with precision. Elisha flows in multiplied glory.
Together, they represent a Kingdom invasion.

You may not carry a title, but you carry a mantle.
You may not have a platform, but you have a word.
You may not be affirmed by systems, but you are anointed by God.

Rise now. And live. You are the answer to the shaking. You are the sound of the awakening.

The Sound of Awakening in the Midst of Shaking!

There is a sound rising in the Spirit — one not born of noise or hype, but of holy confrontation and divine invitation. It is the same sound Ezekiel heard in a valley full of dry bones. The Lord brought him there not to observe death, but to declare life.

“Son of man, can these bones live?”
(Ezekiel 37:3)

This is not just a question — it is a call. A divine interrogation pulling prophets, intercessors, and sons into participation with Heaven's redemptive plan. God is not showing us desolation to depress us — He is revealing it to awaken us.

The Valley of Bones: A Picture of Our Time

The bones represent people, movements, mantles, and nations once full of purpose — now scattered, forgotten, lifeless. Many look around at the world today and see chaos, compromise, and corruption. Families torn. Churches dry. Nations shaken. But what Ezekiel saw, we are seeing again — and Heaven is asking:

Can these bones live?

Not will they live — but can they?

The implication is clear: If someone will prophesy... they can.

The Shaking Before the Awakening

Before the bones lived, there was a sound — a rattling. A shaking. This is the hour we are in.

Everything that can be shaken is being shaken:

• Religious systems that produced no sons.

• Economies not founded on righteousness.

• Identities shaped more by culture than covenant.

Why the shaking? Because only what is of the Kingdom can remain (Hebrews 12:27). The shaking reveals the bones. The awakening restores them.

The Prophetic Role: Speak, Don’t Spectate

God didn’t tell Ezekiel to watch the bones. He told him to prophesy. And not to people — but to bones. That’s the level of spiritual audacity God is releasing again: Prophets who will speak to what others have buried.

“Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!’”
(Ezekiel 37:4)

In other words — don’t accept what is. Declare what must be.

This is not just intercession. It is prophetic legislation. It is apostolic command. It is sons standing in their heavenly identity and calling life out of death.

Awakening Sons, Not Just Servants

We are seeing the rise of sons and daughters who know their God, hear His voice, and are not seduced by titles, stages, or systems. These are the Jehus, Hazaels, and Elishas of our generation:

• Jehu – unafraid to confront and tear down demonic systems.

• Hazael – appointed outside the religious camp to shift nations.

• Elisha – mantled with double-portion authority for demonstration, not celebrity.

God is not reforming the old. He is raising something new. These bones — these seemingly forgotten mantles, callings, and movements — will live again. But only if someone speaks.

The Bones Are People

These dry bones are not random — they are sons, daughters, prophets, and leaders who once burned with purpose. They are:

• Children numbed by culture.

• Intercessors sedated by disappointment.

• Leaders abandoned by systems.

• Prophets lost in the wilderness.

And the Word of the Lord is echoing again:
“Can these bones live?”

Yes, Lord — If You Breathe

Ezekiel’s response is key:
“O Lord God, You know.”
(Ezekiel 37:3)

This is not passivity. It is permission. It’s saying, "Lord, I believe they can, if You breathe. So breathe."

So God told him to prophesy again — this time, not just to bones, but to the breath.

“Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”
(Ezekiel 37:9)

The awakening requires both word and wind. Prophetic decree and divine breath. Sons must speak — and God must breathe.

We Are the Army Rising

The final picture is not just of people standing. It is of an army ready to move.

“So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.”
(Ezekiel 37:10)

This is the sound of the awakening. Not a revival service. Not a church event. An army of sons — forged in hiddenness, purified in shaking, and activated by prophetic breath — ready to take their place.

This army will not bow to Babylon. It will not retreat in fear. It will not mimic the systems of Saul. It will build, war, legislate, and govern from the seated place in Christ.

Final Word: Prophesy Again

If you're standing in a valley — personally, prophetically, or nationally — don’t stay silent.

Prophesy again.

Speak to the bones.
Call for the wind.
And know that what looks lifeless is not the end — it is the stage for awakening.

These bones can live. And they will.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
