How Heaven Responds to God: Learning True Worship from Angels and the Throne Room

How Heaven Responds to God: Learning True Worship from Angels and the Throne Room

by Dr Joel Dabbas

Introduction

Many people walk into church meetings very casual, highly self-aware and looking as though they are not before the God of all gods, the Holiest of all, the CEO of the universe, the Greatest of all.

This is not a behavioral issue; it is a perception issue.
Men respond wrongly because they see wrongly. In Scripture, no one ever encountered God accurately and remained casual. Casualness in spiritual things is always proof of misalignment of revelation.

The presence of God is not an ordinary earth's sphere governed by physical and biological systems. Hebrews 12 exclaimed that we have come to mount Zion the city of the living God in the company of innumerable numbers of Angels". That is not an ordinary place. This is the city of God where mortals meet immortals and the powerless meets the most powerful.

Hebrews 12 does not present a metaphor; it unveils a spiritual reality.
Whenever God’s presence is revealed, geography collapses. Time submits. Flesh loses dominance. Earth must borrow its manners from heaven.
If believers truly discerned where they were, silence would precede speech, and reverence would precede expression.

There is a model in Scripture we learn from spirits and Angels that are before the throne because many people try to learn what to say to God, but Scripture often shows us how to be before Him by watching those who already stand in His presence.

God is less interested in rehearsed vocabulary than correct posture.
In Scripture, encounters never begin with words; they begin with alignment. Heaven teaches us response before language.

If we look carefully at angels, the 24 elders, and the living creatures in Scripture—especially in Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1 & 10, Daniel 7, and Revelation 4–5—a few consistent patterns emerge.

These beings are not worship leaders; they are custodians of divine protocol.
They teach us that worship is not creativity—it is accuracy.

1. They respond with awe and reverence

Angels don’t rush into God’s presence casually.

• “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts” (Isaiah 6:3)

• The repetition emphasizes overwhelming holiness, not information.

In the presence of God, repetition is not redundancy—it is overload.
The finite encountering the infinite produces language that is stretched to its limit.

So your response should be
Before words, there is reverence. Silence, stillness, and recognition of God’s holiness are themselves a response.

Silence in God’s presence is not emptiness; it is intelligence.
Where reverence is absent, access may still exist—but authority will not.

 

2. They respond by worship, not explanation

The 24 elders:

• Fall down

• Cast their crowns

• Worship Him who lives forever (Revelation 4:10)

They don’t defend themselves, explain their achievements, or ask for clarification.

Crowns represent legitimacy—yet they are surrendered.
This teaches us that even what God gives you must never compete with who God is.

Your response should be
Our accomplishments, titles, and authority are laid down—not used—as we respond to God.

Anything you insist on holding in God’s presence becomes a silent rival.
True worship begins where self-importance ends.

3. They respond immediately and willingly

Angels are often described as:

• “Mighty ones who do His word, obeying the voice of His word” (Psalm 103:20)

There is no delay, negotiation, or resistance.

In heaven, obedience is not processed—it is executed.
Delay is not caution; delay is often resistance wearing the garment of wisdom.

Your Response should:
Obedience is not secondary to worship—it is worship.

God is not moved by enthusiasm; He is moved by alignment.
Obedience is the loudest worship heaven recognizes.

4. They respond with humility and self-forgetfulness

Even powerful beings cover themselves in God’s presence:

• Seraphim cover their faces and feet (Isaiah 6:2)

• Elders fall face-down

These are not weak beings. They are exalted beings with perspective.
The closer one gets to glory, the less visible self becomes.

Your response should be:
True response to God reduces self-awareness and increases God-awareness.

Pride survives distance from God; humility is the natural result of proximity.

5. They respond with proclamation of who God is

Their speech is God-centered:

• Worthy

• Holy

• Creator

• Redeemer

They don’t speak about themselves.

Heaven does not narrate activity; it announces identity.
Prayer that remains problem-focused has not yet matured into worship.

Your response should be:
Prayer and worship mature when they become less about our condition and more about God’s nature.

When God’s nature becomes your language, your problems lose their voice.

6. They respond continuously, not occasionally

Revelation describes worship that is:

• Day and night

• Without ceasing

This is not emotional worship; it is governmental posture.
Worship sustains order in heaven the same way laws sustain nations on earth.

Your response should be:
Responding to God isn’t an event—it’s a posture.

You don’t visit reverence; you live there.

 

Bringing this into personal practice

You might find it meaningful to shape your response to God like this during prayer or meditation:

1. Begin with stillness
   Acknowledge His holiness without speaking.

   Stillness recalibrates perception.

2. Offer worship
   Name who He is, not what you need.

   Needs fade when nature is revealed.

3. Lay down crowns
   Consciously surrender roles, successes, fears, and control.

   Surrender restores accuracy.

4. Yield your will
   Ask, “What would You have me do?”

   Authority follows submission.

5. Remain attentive
   Let listening be part of your response.

   God speaks most clearly to those who are correctly positioned.

Final Apostolic Emphasis

This is the biblical way of learning—by watching heaven to learn how to live on earth.

If heaven were to inspect our gatherings, would they recognize their culture?
God does not respond to excitement.
God does not respond to noise.
God responds to accuracy.

We watch heaven so we can stand correctly on earth.

GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED

GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

There is a spiritual economy that governs victory in the believer’s life, and one of its highest currencies is grace. Grace is not merely God’s disposition of kindness toward men; grace is divine enablement—the help of God made available to mortal men so they can accomplish eternal purposes.

The scripture says “find grace to help.” This reveals that grace is not always automatic; it must be accessed, received, and appropriated.

1. THE THRONE IS NOT OF JUDGMENT, BUT OF GRACE

The Bible does not call it a throne of condemnation. It does not call it a throne of punishment. It is called the throne of grace.

This is powerful because it tells us that:

• God’s posture toward the believer is not hostility

• God’s government toward His children is mercy-driven

• Weakness is not an excuse to run away, but a reason to come closer

Many believers fail, not because grace is unavailable, but because they approach God wrongly—with fear instead of faith, guilt instead of confidence.

Boldness here is not arrogance; it is confidence rooted in Christ’s finished work.

2. MERCY DEALS WITH THE PAST, GRACE EMPOWERS THE PRESENT

The verse reveals a divine order:

1. Obtain mercy

2. Find grace to help

Mercy addresses yesterday—your failures, mistakes, and inadequacies.
Grace empowers today—it gives you strength to stand, to run, and to win.

You cannot effectively receive grace if you have not first embraced mercy.
Many believers are forgiven but still condemned in their conscience—and condemnation blocks the flow of grace.

3. GRACE IS SITUATIONAL — “IN TIME OF NEED”

God does not waste grace. There is specific grace for specific seasons.

• Grace to endure trials

• Grace to resist temptation

• Grace to serve faithfully

• Grace to finish strong

The Bible says “find grace to help in time of need.”
This means:

• There is grace for pressure

• There is grace for transition

• There is grace for delay

• There is grace for spiritual warfare

Whatever season you are in, there is a dimension of grace allocated to that season.

4. GRACE MUST BE FOUND — THROUGH INTENTIONAL SEEKING

You do not stumble upon grace accidentally. Grace is found at the throne.

This speaks of:

• Prayer

• Fellowship

• Alignment

• Dependence on God

Any believer who lives prayerlessly will eventually live gracelessly.
And any believer who lacks grace will soon lack strength.

5. THE HELP OF GRACE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

What human effort cannot achieve, grace accomplishes effortlessly.
Grace does not replace responsibility, but it multiplies effectiveness.

When grace comes:

• Weak men do mighty things

• Ordinary people produce extraordinary results

• Burdens become light

• Yokes are destroyed

Grace is why men rise beyond their background, their limitations, and their history.

CLOSING CHARGE

Do not endure what grace can empower you to overcome.
Do not struggle where help has already been provided.

Run to the throne—not when you are strong, but especially when you are weak.

Because at that throne:

• Mercy restores you

• Grace empowers you

• Help is guaranteed

And you will not come back empty.

PRAYER POINTS 

1. Prayer for Bold Access to God’s Throne
"Father, I come boldly into Your presence, not in my own strength, but in the confidence of Jesus Christ. Let no fear, shame, or condemnation hinder me from receiving Your mercy and grace. I declare that I shall not be timid in seeking Your help in every area of my life."

2. Prayer for Mercy to Cover the Past
"Lord, thank You for Your mercy that forgives, restores, and heals. Wash me clean from every past mistake, failure, and guilt that has been holding me back. Let Your mercy pave the way for Your grace to operate powerfully in my life today."

3. Prayer for Grace in Times of Need
"Father, I release my dependence on my own strength and receive Your grace. Help me in the exact moments when I feel weak, overwhelmed, or incapable. Let Your supernatural help be made manifest in every challenge, trial, and opportunity in my life."

4. Prayer for Continuous Supply of Grace
"Lord, let Your grace never run out in my life. Let it increase daily to meet my spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Teach me to live in constant dependence on You, so that every weakness becomes a stage for Your power to be displayed."

5. Prayer for Transformation through Grace
"Father, let the grace I receive not only help me survive but also transform me into the person You created me to be. Empower me to walk victoriously, serve faithfully, and impact others with the life-changing power of Your grace. Let Your help in my time of need produce fruit that glorifies Your name."

Resistances Melt Like Wax

Resistances Melt Like Wax

From The Teaching Ministry of Dr Joel Dabbas 

Text: Psalms 97:5
“The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.”

Introduction:

Beloved, this morning, I feel in my spirit that God is about to break down every resistance in your life. Every barrier, every limitation, every wall that has stood in your way is about to melt like wax in His presence! I want to declare over you today that there is a divine wind of transformation sweeping over your life, and nothing will be able to stand against it. The Word of God says, “The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord.”

What does that mean for you? It means that the hardest, most stubborn situations, the toughest battles you’ve been fighting, are about to bow to the power of God. Resistance will melt before His glory.

Let us pray: Father, we thank You for Your presence here today. We thank You because where Your presence is, resistance must melt. Today, we invite Your presence to move in power and break every chain. In Jesus' name, Amen.

1. Understanding Resistance:

Resistances in life come in many forms. They could be in the form of limitations, challenges, obstacles, or strongholds. These resistances often feel immovable, unshakable. You’ve prayed, you’ve fasted, you’ve believed, but yet, that mountain still stands tall before you.

But I’m here to tell you, that mountain is not your portion! Every resistance that rises up against the will of God in your life is about to bow down. Why? Because when the Presence of God shows up, resistance is forced to melt.

The hills, as described in our text, were not just small mounds of dirt. No, these were mighty mountains—tall, imposing, and seemingly indestructible. But in the presence of the Lord, these mountains melted like wax.

I don’t know what mountain you’ve been staring at, beloved, but I declare today that it is melting in the presence of the Lord!

2. The Power of God's Presence:

What causes these mighty hills to melt? It’s the presence of the Lord. It’s not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit. When the presence of God enters a situation, everything that resists the purpose of God is compelled to yield.

You may be wondering, How do I invite God's presence into my situation? The answer is simple: live in a posture of worship, prayer, and surrender. The presence of God is not just a feeling or an atmosphere; it’s a reality that changes everything.

Psalm 22:3 tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people. When you begin to praise, when you begin to pray, when you begin to worship, you are inviting the very presence of God into your circumstance. And when His presence shows up, resistance cannot remain.

3. Resistance Melts Like Wax:

Let’s look closely at the imagery in our text. The Bible says the hills “melted like wax.” This is significant because wax has a certain property—it is hard, solid, and unyielding until it comes into contact with heat. When the heat touches it, it begins to soften, lose its form, and eventually, melt away.

In the same way, when the fire of God’s presence touches your resistance, it begins to melt. It begins to lose its power over you. The things that once seemed impossible, the situations that once felt hopeless, will melt away under the heat of God’s glory.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s this: The hotter the presence of God, the faster the resistance melts.

I believe God is about to release His fire over every situation that has stood in your way. That situation that has been resisting you for years, I declare that it is melting today. That financial mountain, that health challenge, that family problem, that relationship struggle—whatever it is, I declare it is melting like wax in the presence of the Lord!

4. What Do We Do When Resistance Melts?

Beloved, the Word of God encourages us to do one thing: Trust in the Lord and His power. It is His presence that does the work, and when it comes, it leaves no trace of resistance behind.

Let me remind you of a powerful truth: resistance is never meant to defeat you; it is meant to reveal the power of God. There are things you cannot learn on the mountaintop of comfort. There are lessons you can only learn when you face resistance. But when God steps in, He doesn’t just break the resistance, He uses it for His glory and your good.

Romans 8:28 says, *“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose.”*

This means that even the resistance you face right now is part of God’s sovereign plan to bring about His purpose in your life. He’s not just trying to remove the resistance for the sake of comfort, but He’s using it to shape you, strengthen you, and prepare you for something greater. When He steps in and melts that resistance, it’s not just to give you relief, but to give you victory!

5. The Victory is Yours!

As the resistance melts away, you step into a place of victory. You step into the fullness of God’s purpose for your life. You begin to walk in the freedom that was always yours but was held back by that resistance. And in that place of victory, you begin to understand the truth of Psalm 97:5 in a deeper way:

“The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.”

Your mountains are not just melting; they are being reduced to nothing in the presence of the One who created them. He is the Lord over all the earth. He is the Creator and the Master of everything. Every resistance that has tried to stand in the way of His plan for your life has to yield to His supremacy. It’s time for you to rise up and claim your victory.

6. Living in the Aftermath of Melting Resistance:

Once resistance has melted, what comes next? Beloved, we are called to live in the freedom that comes with the melting of every obstacle. When God removes a mountain, don’t go back and build it again in your mind. Don’t allow fear, doubt, or unbelief to resurrect the very thing God has obliterated.

When that wall of resistance falls, you are to walk through with boldness and confidence, knowing that God is for you and not against you. The Word says that we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8:37). That means, after the resistance melts, you reign in that area of your life. You are not just surviving; you are thriving.

Conclusion:

Beloved, I feel a stirring in my spirit today. I want you to believe that every resistance in your life will melt like wax in the presence of the Lord. It is not by your own strength, but by the power of His presence. And once that resistance has melted, you will rise higher than before.

Whatever it is that stands in your way today, know that it has no choice but to yield before the presence of the Almighty. You will see the manifestation of God’s glory in ways you’ve never imagined.

As we close, let me remind you that God's presence is not a far-off thing—it is available to you right now. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). When you press into His presence, those mountains melt. When you begin to worship, those hills lose their form. When you begin to declare His Word, those resistances have no choice but to fall away.

Now, I want you to lift up your hands and begin to declare over your life that every resistance—every obstacle, every challenge, every mountain—is melting like wax in the presence of the Lord!

Father, we thank You because there is no resistance that can stand against You. Today, we declare that every stronghold is coming down. Every mountain is melting in Your presence. We walk in victory, we walk in freedom, and we step into the fullness of Your purpose for our lives.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

God bless you.

The Peace of Your Children: Guarding the Future of the Next Generation

The Peace of Your Children: Guarding the Future of the Next Generation

By Dr Joel Dabbas 

"Great is the peace of your children" (Isaiah 54:13). God has an unequivocal interest in the peace of your children, and this peace is not just a fleeting, emotional calm—no! It is a divine peace that transcends understanding.

When we speak of the peace of your children, we must realize that it is the peace of their spirit, soul, mind, and body. It is a peace that encompasses their entire being, shielding them from every attack of the enemy. But understand this: whatever God is interested in, the devil will target. And so, if God has ordained peace for your children, the devil will stop at nothing to disrupt it.

What is the Peace of Your Children?

I. It is the intactness of the spirit, soul, mind, and body of your children.
The peace of your children means nothing is broken, damaged, or destroyed in any part of their lives. The devil’s agenda is to rob them of this wholeness, to break their spirit, to confuse their mind, to burden their soul, and to harm their body. But the Bible assures us that "your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children" (Isaiah 54:13). This divine peace preserves every area of their lives, ensuring they are whole and healthy in every sense.

II. It is the stability of your children.
This peace brings stability. Mentally, emotionally, physically, academically, and behaviorally, your children stand firm. The enemy seeks to destabilize them—by confusion, frustration, peer pressure, spiritual warfare, and unhealthy environments. But the peace of God establishes them. They are not tossed about by every wind of doctrine or circumstance. They are rooted and grounded in the truth.

III. It is the security of your children.
The peace of your children provides divine protection, both physically and spiritually. It is an impenetrable hedge around their lives, shielding them from harm, from the assault of evil forces, and from the consequences of bad decisions. In the book of Psalms, David said, "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them" (Psalm 34:7). This security is a direct result of God’s peace.

The Forces the Devil Uses to Disturb the Peace of Your Children

I. The Force of Stubbornness and Hardened Heart
One of the most effective tools the devil uses against the peace of children is the force of stubbornness. The heart of the child becomes hardened, and they refuse to listen to parental instruction or the Word of God. Proverbs 29:1 says, "He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." Stubbornness closes the door to peace because it breeds rebellion, disobedience, and eventual destruction.

II. The Force of Peer Pressure and Worldly Influence
Another powerful force the enemy uses is peer pressure. As children grow, they are influenced by the world around them—their friends, media, and social platforms. The devil seeks to sow seeds of compromise, immorality, and ungodliness in their hearts. This erodes their peace and leads them into confusion and wrong choices.

III. The Force of Fear and Anxiety
Fear and anxiety can be subtle but destructive forces that the enemy uses to rob children of peace. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or fear of rejection can consume a child’s thoughts and create turmoil in their spirit. But "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). As parents and guardians, it is vital that we teach our children to cast all their cares upon the Lord, knowing He cares for them.

IV. The Force of Distractions
The devil often uses distractions to rob children of their peace, diverting their focus from what matters most—God’s purpose for their lives.

V. The Force of Bad Habits and Character
Bad habits and flawed character are gateways for the enemy to destabilize a child’s peace, leading them down paths of destruction and away from God’s will.

How to Preserve the Peace of Your Children

I. Introduce Them to Jesus Early
The foundation of peace is a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is vital to introduce your children to Jesus early—teach them the ways of the Lord from their infancy. A child who knows Jesus will have peace that passes understanding. Their hearts will be aligned with God’s will, and they will experience stability and joy in Him.

II. Let Them Be Taught of the Lord
One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is an education rooted in the Word of God. Train them in the Scriptures; let them understand the principles of righteousness, integrity, and godliness. When they know the truth, the truth will set them free (John 8:32). Teach them that peace comes not from the world’s standards, but from living according to God’s Word.

III. Provide a Safe and Godly Environment
The atmosphere in which your children grow will play a significant role in the peace they experience. Create an environment filled with the presence of God. Pray over your home, play worship music, and ensure that your children are surrounded by positive influences. The home should be a sanctuary where they feel loved, valued, and protected.

IV. Teach Them the Power of Prayer and Worship
Children who understand the power of prayer and worship will have a deep reservoir of peace. Teach them to pray, to call on the name of the Lord, and to worship with a pure heart. There is no substitute for this spiritual practice. Prayer is an antidote to anxiety, and worship ushers in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

V. Shield Them from Negative Influences
While we cannot shelter our children from every difficult situation, we can shield them from harmful influences. Be discerning about the media, relationships, and environments they are exposed to. Teach them the importance of guarding their hearts and minds. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (Proverbs 4:23).

VI. Commit to Daily Intercession for Your Children
Your prayers as a parent are powerful. The peace of your children is preserved through consistent and fervent prayer. Cover them with the blood of Jesus daily and decree that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Intercede for their minds, their hearts, and their futures, and trust God to protect them from every assault of the enemy.

VII. Speak Life and Blessing Over Them
Words are powerful. The Bible says in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Speak life, peace, and blessing over your children continually. Declare that they are destined for greatness, that they will be mighty in the land, and that the peace of God will guard their hearts and minds.

Final Word

The peace of your children is a divine inheritance. As a parent, it is your responsibility to actively protect, nurture, and preserve this peace. Don’t allow the enemy to disturb it with his distractions, lies, or attacks. Instead, stand in the authority of Christ and declare that your children shall walk in peace, stability, and security all the days of their lives. As you follow these steps, remember the words of Isaiah 54:13: “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.”

Five Brutal Prayer Points

1. Father, I declare that every force of stubbornness and rebellion is broken over the life of my child. I command every hardened heart to be softened by the power of the Holy Spirit.
   Scripture: Proverbs 29:1

2. Lord, I pray for divine stability for my children. May they remain mentally, emotionally, and spiritually stable, anchored in Your truth and love.
   Scripture: Isaiah 26:3

3. I cover my children with the blood of Jesus, and I declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Protect them from all forms of evil and danger.
   Scripture: Isaiah 54:17

4. Lord, I uproot every seed of fear and anxiety in my child’s heart. I speak peace into their spirit, knowing that You are with them wherever they go.
   Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7

5. Father, I decree that my children will grow up to be mighty in the land, shining as lights in this dark world. May Your peace continually reign in their hearts.
   Scripture: Psalms 112:2

PROPHETIC DECREES

My children are taught of the Lord and great is their peace.
Our children are blessings and not a burden.
Our children are excellent and not failures.
They are forward and not backward.
They are the head and not the tail.
They are anointed vessels of Yahweh.

Our children are for signs and wonders.
Our children are for peace and not for war.
They are for good and not evil.
Glory to God.

In conclusion, the peace of your children is God's gift to them, but it requires your diligence in prayer, training, and guarding. Stand firm, knowing that the peace of God will protect them and lead them into their destiny.

How to Receive the Mantle for Your Destiny Journey | Empowerment and Spiritual Authority

How to Receive the Mantle for Your Destiny Journey | Empowerment and Spiritual Authority

By Dr Joel Dabbas 

Scriptural Anchor:
2 Kings 2:9–14
“…Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.”

INTRODUCTION

Life is a journey, destiny is a journey, and purpose is a journey. No journey of destiny is successfully concluded without a mantle—a spiritual enablement from God that empowers a man to finish well. Many have vision, but few have the mantle to sustain the journey. Many start strong, but collapse midway because they lack what it takes to continue.

The mantle is not a decoration; it is a necessity. It is the difference between struggle and speed, effort and ease, survival and significance.

WHAT IS A MANTLE?

A mantle is a spiritual covering, empowerment, and authorization from God that enables a person to function beyond natural capacity.

• It is divine enablement for divine assignment

• It is spiritual capacity for supernatural responsibility

• It is God’s stamp of approval on a life and a calling

Zechariah 4:6 says,

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord.”

The journey of destiny cannot be completed by human strength alone.

WHY A MANTLE IS NECESSARY FOR THE JOURNEY

1. The Journey Is Longer Than Your Strength
   The road ahead is longer than your excitement. Passion can start you, but only a mantle can sustain you.

   Isaiah 40:31

   “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”

2. The Journey Is Filled With Resistance
   Every destiny attracts opposition. Without a mantle, resistance will wear you out.

   Ephesians 6:12

   “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…”

3. The Journey Demands Supernatural Results
   Natural tools cannot produce supernatural outcomes. The mantle bridges that gap.

4. The journey Require Supernatural Backing 

The journey cannot be travelled without the backing of God. It is risky to go without God and His presence.

 Exodus 33:13-16 

"Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. And he said, My presence shall go with thee , and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me , carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth."

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF MEN WITH MANTLES

• Moses – The mantle of leadership and signs (Exodus 3–14)

• Elijah – The mantle of fire and authority

• Elisha – The mantle of double portion

• Jesus – The mantle of the Spirit without measure (John 3:34)

• The Apostles – The mantle of power and boldness (Acts 2)

Every great assignment had a corresponding mantle.

HOW DO YOU RECEIVE THE MANTLE FOR THE JOURNEY?

1. By Hunger and Desire
   Elisha said, “Let a double portion…”
   You don’t receive what you admire; you receive what you desire.

   Matthew 5:6

   “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst…”

2. By Faithfulness and Service
   Elisha poured water on the hands of Elijah before he carried his mantle.

   Luke 16:10

   “He that is faithful in that which is least…”

3. By Separation and Consecration
   Mantles rest on consecrated vessels. God does not empower casual lives.

   2 Timothy 2:21

   “If a man therefore purge himself…”

4. By Divine Timing and Alignment
   Mantles are released at God’s appointed time, not human impatience.

WHAT THE MANTLE DOES IN A MAN’S LIFE

• It gives speed without stress

• It grants authority without struggle

• It produces results beyond explanation

• It enforces continuity of impact

• It makes a man relevant across generations

When Elijah’s mantle fell, the same river parted again. The mantle ensures that what worked before continues to work.

CONCLUSION

Beloved, the journey ahead is not a joke. Destiny is serious business. Vision without a mantle leads to frustration. Calling without empowerment leads to burnout.

Do not rush the journey without the mantle. Do not envy speed when you lack stamina. Seek the God of the mantle, not just the applause of men.

May God clothe you with the mantle required for your journey.
May your strength not fail midway.
May your destiny not expire prematurely.

Receive the mantle for the journey, I cannot be stranded in Jesus’ Name!

When the Enemy Attacks Time: Restoring God’s Order for Your 2026

When the Enemy Attacks Time: Restoring God’s Order for Your 2026

By Dr Joel Dabbas 

One of the highest expressions of spiritual intelligence is the ability to discern how the adversary operates, not just that he operates. Many believers are aware of attacks on health, finances, or relationships, but fewer understand that one of Satan’s most strategic battlefields is time.

If the enemy cannot stop God’s purpose, he will attempt to tamper with timing.

Scripture reveals that God is not only the Author of life but also the Master of times and seasons. The Bible says in Genesis 8:22,

“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease.”

This establishes a divine principle: life is designed to function by orderly progression. Growth, favor, elevation, reward, and manifestation are all time-governed. Nothing in God happens randomly; everything is seasonal.

However, when satanic interference comes into a person’s life, one of its chief aims is time reprogramming.

What Is Time Reprogramming?

Time reprogramming is a spiritual operation where the enemy seeks to:

• Alter the order of events in a person’s life

• Delay, hasten, or completely block divine seasons

• Trap an individual in a particular phase of life

• Cause someone to miss windows of favor, instruction, or visitation

This is how people remain gifted but unexpressed, called but unmanifested, anointed but stagnant.

The enemy understands that purpose is time-sensitive.

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1

If Satan cannot destroy your purpose, he will attempt to disconnect it from its season.

How the Enemy Attacks Through Time

1. Seasonal Stagnation
   A person remains in what should have been a temporary season—struggle, preparation, obscurity, or pain—far longer than God intended.

2. Seasonal Confusion
   The natural progression of life is disrupted. Harvest is expected during planting season, or battles arise in what should have been a season of rest.

3. Missed Kairos Moments
   Divine opportunities come, but discernment, readiness, or alignment is lacking. Not because God failed—but because timing was tampered with.

4. Delayed Favor
   Favor is not just what God gives, but when He gives it. When favor arrives late, it can lose relevance.

God’s Response to Time Manipulation

God does not merely restore things—He restores time.

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” — Joel 2:25

This tells us that time can be eaten, wasted, or hijacked—but also redeemed.

When God steps into a man’s timeline:

• Acceleration occurs

• Lost seasons are compressed

• Divine order is reintroduced

• What should take years can happen in moments

This is why alignment is more powerful than effort.

A Prophetic Declaration Over 2026

My 2026 will not be a victim of demonic rescheduling.
My seasons will not be scrambled.
I will not be early where I should be hidden, nor late where I should be revealed.
I receive grace to discern times and seasons.
Every satanic attempt to trap me in cycles is broken.
I move with divine accuracy.
I arrive on time.
I harvest on time.
I advance on time.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” — Ecclesiastes 3:11

Finally 

The believer who understands time does not panic.
The believer who discerns seasons does not envy.
The believer who walks with God’s clock does not miss destiny.

My 2026 cannot be reprogrammed—because my times are in His hands.

Prayer Points

1. Prayer to Reassert God’s Lordship Over Your Time

Instruction:
Please understand this: Satan does not create problems arbitrarily. He studies times. When he wants to attack destiny, he interferes with timing. But God is the God of times and seasons.

Prayer:
“Father, I declare by revelation that my times are in Your hands. I withdraw my life, my destiny, and my year 2026 from every satanic calendar, schedule, or projection. Let divine order be restored to my timeline, in the name of Jesus.”

📖 Psalm 31:15

2. Prayer for Restoration and Acceleration

Instruction:
There are people whose problem is not absence of prophecy, prayer, or effort—it is lost time. But our God has the ability to restore years, not days.

Prayer:
“Lord, by the power that restores years, I receive restoration of every season wasted, delayed, or attacked. Let acceleration come upon my life; let me catch up without pressure, without confusion, without compromise, in the name of Jesus.”

📖 Joel 2:25

3. Prayer to Break Stagnation and Cycles

Instruction:
Any time you see repetition without progress, you are dealing with a satanic cycle. God moves men forward; the enemy keeps them rotating.

Prayer:
“In the name of Jesus, every cycle of stagnation, backwardness, and unproductive repetition in my life—break now! I step out of circles into divine progression, and I move forward by the Spirit of the Living God.”

📖 Deuteronomy 2:3

4. Prayer for Discernment of Seasons (Kairos Intelligence)

Instruction:
Many believers miss God, not because He didn’t come—but because they lacked discernment. When you don’t know what time it is, you will misinterpret what God is doing.

Prayer:
“Father, I receive grace for spiritual discernment. Help me to know what You are doing, when You are doing it, and how to respond correctly. I will not be blind to my season, and I will not miss my divine visitation, in Jesus’ name.”

📖 Luke 19:44

5. Prophetic Seal Over 2026

Instruction:
There are years you don’t enter casually—you enter prophetically. A sealed year is a defended year.

Prayer:
“By the blood of Jesus, I prophetically seal my year 2026. No demonic alteration, no satanic reprogramming, no spiritual interference will prosper. I decree that 2026 will answer to me in alignment, favor, accuracy, and fulfillment, in the mighty name of Jesus.”

📖 Ecclesiastes 3:11

Through Wisdom a House Is Built: Kingdom Principles for Building What Will Last in 2026

Through Wisdom a House Is Built: Kingdom Principles for Building What Will Last in 2026

By Dr Joel Dabbas 

“Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” — Proverbs 24:3–4

When Scripture speaks, it does not waste words. This verse is not poetry alone—it is a blueprint. Whether you are building a business, a ministry, a family, a career, or your own life, God reveals that greatness is constructed, not stumbled upon.

As we step into 2026, hear this clearly:
Speed will impress people, but wisdom will preserve destinies.

Let us walk through this divine order with clarity, simplicity, and spiritual weight.

1. Wisdom Is the Foundation of All True Building

“Through wisdom a house is built.”

Before God talks about growth, He talks about wisdom.
Wisdom is not information; wisdom is alignment with God’s order.

Many things fail not because they are wrong, but because they are premature.

• Wisdom teaches you what to build.

• Wisdom teaches you when to build.

• Wisdom teaches you what not to build at all.

In 2026, resist the temptation to rush.
Ask yourself honestly:
Is this idea strong enough to carry responsibility, visibility, and pressure five years from now?

Anything built without wisdom may rise quickly—but it will not remain.

2. Understanding Establishes What Wisdom Begins

“By understanding it is established.”

Wisdom starts the work, but understanding gives it stability.

Understanding means:

• You know how the system works.

• You understand people, incentives, timing, and consequences.

• You think beyond today into second- and third-order effects.

Many believers are sincere but unstable because they love results more than processes.

Hear this:
If you do not understand it, you do not yet own it.

In 2026, do not just desire outcomes—seek mastery.
Ask God for insight, not just open doors.

3. Knowledge Furnishes What Wisdom and Understanding Built

“By knowledge the rooms are filled with precious and pleasant riches.”

Wisdom builds.
Understanding establishes.
But knowledge adds value, excellence, and beauty.

This is where skill, learning, and competence matter.

• Learn continuously—AI, leadership, communication, finance, ethics.

• Refine your craft.

• Apply what you learn daily.

Unused knowledge becomes clutter.
Applied knowledge becomes treasure.

In 2026, God will reward those who take learning seriously.

4. Character Is the Load-Bearing Wall

No structure collapses first at the roof—it collapses at its weakest internal support.

Character is that support.

• Integrity scales better than talent.

• Consistency outlives charisma.

• What you do when no one is watching decides how high God can trust you.

Shortcuts may produce quick applause, but they also produce long-term regret.

Hear this carefully:
A house collapses where character cracks.

Guard your heart. Guard your name. Guard your devotion.

5. Build People Before You Build Products

Nothing truly great is built alone.

If God gives you a vision, He will send people—but you must steward them wisely.

• Invest in trust.

• Communicate clearly.

• Teach people how to think, not just what to do.

Do not multiply followers; multiply leaders.
Do not create dependents; create builders.

Strong houses are built by aligned hands, not gifted individuals working in isolation.

6. Prepare for Storms Before They Come

Wisdom does not deny storms—it plans for them.

Assume volatility:

• Economic shifts

• Technological disruption

• Relational pressure

• Emotional fatigue

Build margins:

• Financial margins

• Emotional margins

• Spiritual margins

Resilience is not accidental; it is designed.

In 2026, those who survive will not be the most gifted—but the most prepared.

7. Build for More Than Yourself

Anything that exists only for you will die with you.

Lasting structures serve others.

Ask yourself:

• Who is protected because this exists?

• Who is strengthened?

• Who is equipped?

Legacy is not measured by applause—it is measured by lives transformed.

God sustains what blesses others.

A Final Charge for 2026

If this is the year you build something great, let it be said:

• It was built slowly, not carelessly.

• It was built wisely, not emotionally.

• Its foundation was character, not convenience.

• And its purpose was bigger than the builder.

Through wisdom, build your house.
By understanding, establish it.
And by knowledge, fill it with glory.

Prayer Points

1. Prayer for the Spirit of Wisdom

Scripture: “Through wisdom a house is built…” — Proverbs 24:3

Prayer:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I receive the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. I declare that I will not build by assumption, emotion, or pressure. I receive grace to discern divine timing, divine order, and divine priorities. Every activity in my life, calling, and assignment aligns with Your wisdom. I refuse to labor outside Your counsel. In Jesus’ name.

2. Prayer for Understanding and Strategic Insight

Scripture: “By understanding it is established.” — Proverbs 24:3

Prayer:
Lord, grant me depth of understanding. I ask for insight into systems, people, and processes. Where confusion exists, I receive clarity. Where instability exists, I receive establishment. I declare that I will not be ignorant in the matters that govern my destiny. I receive grace to think beyond the moment and to build with foresight, in Jesus’ name.

3. Prayer for Knowledge, Skill, and Excellence

Scripture: “By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” — Proverbs 24:4

Prayer:
Father, I receive the discipline and hunger for knowledge. Anoint my mind for learning, mastery, and excellence. I declare that my hands will be skillful, my words seasoned, and my work valuable. I reject mediocrity and stagnation. Let my life be filled with results that glorify You and bless men, in Jesus’ name.

4. Prayer for Character, Integrity, and Inner Strength

Scripture: “The integrity of the upright shall guide them.” — Proverbs 11:3

Prayer:
Lord, build my inner man. Strengthen my character beyond my gift. I receive grace to walk in integrity when no one is watching. Let pride, compromise, and hidden weaknesses lose their power over my life. I declare that my foundation will not crack under pressure. I choose righteousness, consistency, and obedience, in Jesus’ name.

5. Prayer for Endurance, Legacy, and Impact Beyond Self

Scripture: “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it.” — Psalm 127:1

Prayer:
Father, let everything I build be sustained by You. I declare that my work will outlive seasons and storms. I receive grace to build with others, to raise men, and to serve generations. Let my life be a shelter, a blessing, and a testimony of Your faithfulness. I decree that what I build will not collapse, in Jesus’ mighty name.
