“As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22

… and the time came when they possessed the kingdom. It is time to release the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is different from the Church. The Church executes the kingdom of God, but the Church is not the whole kingdom of God.

God is not THE KING if he is not king over everything. It is time to release the kingdom of God everywhere through the Church, his holy people, and because the Church of Jesus Christ is not very well trained and open to the concept of the kingdom, many denominations will find it hard to step into this prophetic word because they ONLY knew the CHURCH and many of us are narrow-minded about authority and the spreading of the kingdom. We don’t think like kings and definitely not like the KING of kings and the Lord of lords. Yet his holy people, you and me are made kings in him!

This is the year when the authority of King Jesus given to the Church will start to break the neck of the enemy on so many levels, your individual life, and corporately! Halleluiah.

In the book of Revelation, we read that when the cup of incense of the prayers of the saints, his holy ones, was full, God released fire as a downpouring at once. We also know the story of the widow who knocked persistently at the door of an unjust judge and after a WHILE, justice was served to her when she felt “defeated” (Daniel 7:21-22), weakened, and at her lowest. Glory to God!

That’s exactly what is being played now.

“As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22

The Most High, the Ancient of Days & the Holy Ones are 3 important keys to understanding and stepping into this prophecy:

I love the name of God here “the Most High”. That’s KINGDOM! The Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High.

The kingdom is always in high places or it is not a kingdom. In this season, the holy people of God shall know the Lord as the Most High. You will think in terms of high places from now on. The Most High will disciple you and shift your paradigms from small thinking, from just a church meeting to kingdom, to high places where the Most High is enthroned. The devil thinks this way and if you look around, he has his grip on the high places and positions and has exposure everywhere. Will you dare to step into higher places and plug the banner of the Most High on the top of your career, business, education, entertainment, politics, and on?

The second important word is “the Ancient of Days”. The Ancient of Days pronounced the judgment. Why the Ancient of Days? Because God is the highest wisdom, he is WISDOM and the devil established his kingdom with his demonic wisdom and sneaked in everywhere with his deceptive wisdom that seemed to be irresistible for a while AND WEAKENED AND DEFEATED THE HOLY PEOPLE OF THE MOST HIGH for a while. The church was overwhelmed and felt lacking the wisdom to override this demonic deceptive wisdom in the high places UNTIL the Ancient of Days stepped in and pronounced judgment!

God who is the highest WISDOM will release strategies to his holy people that will JUDGE the lowest levels of that demonic deceptive wisdom. God will give you a mouth and wisdom to shut the mouths of lions, the mouths of all the enemies. It is a war between doctrines!

“Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.” Hebrews 11:33-34

Finally, the third important word in this verse is “his holy people”. Only the consecrated unto the Lord will possess the kingdom and break the neck of the enemy!

Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5

Blessed New Year to you in Jesus' name

UPDATE: Hours after I wrote this prophetic word that Holy Spirit gave me for the year 2023, it was greatly confirmed by Apostle Patricia King and Prophet Bobby Conner when they released their own prophetic words for the year 2023. I am greatly humbled and encouraged! I am not considering myself in the stature of those two great spiritual leaders, but I rejoice greatly to be entrusted with such a weighty word. I will leave to you the reference links to their prophetic words if you want to check them and allow your faith to skyrocket. When the Lord confirms his word many times, it means he is establishing it. Halleluiah! Glory to God.
