From Robbed to Redeemed: God's Wanting You To Ask!
FROM ROBBED TO REDEEMED
WORD BY JODIE HUGHES | AUGUST 14, 2019
© Pour It Out Ministries
I woke up from a dream recently hearing the words, “ask me for what you want” and knowing that God was redeeming what the enemy has stolen, robbed or broken in the past seasons for many right now.
PROPHETIC DREAM: THE ROBBED WILL BE CALLED THE REDEEMED
In the dream a man called “Rob” and I were chatting about asking God for what we want at the moment. I was using so many words though to express this point that I’d almost lost the point of what I was saying! The “man” wasn’t listening as I was being unnecessarily “timid and nice” instead of boldly & succinctly speaking!
BE BOLD, SPECIFIC & REAL
Then I heard a voice say clearly, “Ask me for what you want”! I immediately understood, it was important and urgent right now, to just ask God! Don’t get caught up in perfectionism, timidity, niceties or dutiful religious “trying to get it right” way of praying, but just pray boldly! Be authentic. Be specific. Be bold!
There is a grace to bring our petitions before God and actually pray them out! Pray, speak it out, contend, decree, but ask God for what you want. Religious thinking would try and hinder or squash our freedom to just come before God and boldly ask, activating our faith.
CALL YOUR STUFF BACK
I understood the “Rob” in the dream represented a “robbing” spirit that had mercilessly come against the body in recent times, and God was currently radically redeeming what the enemy has stolen. You don’t negotiate or be nice with a robbing spirit, you boldly kick him out & call all your stuff back in Jesus name!!
FIERCE COURAGE / NEW AUTHORITY
I was aware of the importance of calling our stuff back right now!! There’s a boldness required, a fierce speaking out specifically what we are contending for and evicting the enemies lies. God is anointing your declarations AS YOU SPEAK with fierce courage and new authority.
It is important to be vulnerable before God, authentic, honest, to the point and bold as we come before the throne room. God wants us to partner WITH him in decreeing heavens solutions and redeeming breakthroughs by inviting us to ASK Him. It’s time to boldly & fiercely decree back what has been stolen.
He also wants us to ask for the things on our heart. This was very important in the dream, ascertaining what we are actually believing for and speaking it out boldly in prayer. Many will need to take time and make a faith list before the Lord and contend for specific areas in our life.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO ACTUALLY ASK
As accelerated change is upon the nations, things are happening quick, and not all of it is God’s heart for the nations. A key and missing ingredient of breakthrough is often our voice. The atmosphere is ripe for change and to speak forth God change. There is an urgency right now for voices of righteousness and faith to partner with God and decree what He is saying over the earth as God partners with our prayers (Math 18:18) . There is equally an urgency to speak out God’s promises over yourself, silencing & cancelling the voice of “the robbing spirit” and partnering in faith with God’s word.
CHANGE IS UPON IS. DECREE GOD CHANGE
Change is upon us. It is the birth right and responsibility of us each to decree God change. “Decree a thing” and see it established (Job 22:28) is imperative in this season. Our voice MUST establish kingdom change. We must declare, decree and announce kingdom purpose, breakthrough and promise In our lives and nations. We must speak it out. We must ask & decree. Our prayers are more vital and more powerful than we realise often.
“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?” - JESUS
But even more crucial personally is to answer the Lords invitation and question in this season, “what do you want from me”? I sense Jesus asking the body, “what do you want from me”?
This can be a confronting question for many as it stirs areas of unfulfilled dreams & stories, questioning, doubt, hurts and past disappointments. For many “asking” is akin to believing again in areas where delay or disappointment has made it hard to “go there” and “ask and decree in faith again”. Asking prods the hurting places of past disappointments. It equally compels us though to look again at our hearts and vulnerably place areas of pain before the throne and ASK God to heal, restore and redeem our hearts, healing any hurts and raw places. This is partly why its important to ask God right now. The asking in itself is healing, even though it requires brutal honesty and courage. God desires healed hearts and He is restoring the places need supernatural hope and healing. Be honest and raw in your times with God. Real healing and comfort comes from realness with God. The thing is, go to God with your pain and questions, not away from God.
NOW FAITH FOR NOW CHANGE
A key in this season is to be vulnerable, honest, specific and bold before the Lord asking Him for what you need. “What do you want from me” the Lord is whispering to you. There is tenderness in the request, but there is also an urgency to speak out decrees and faith declarations petitioning the Lord with our specific requests. There’s a compulsion to be real & stir up our faith again & afresh. God is calling back NOW FAITH in the church to DECREE NOW CHANGE.
Over and over again the bible implores us to “ask”. Asking and contending activates our faith. But we must ask. Prayer & declaration of change is active not passive! We open our mouth & speak. The anointed voice of the church establishes God change in our nations & families.
FROM ROBBED TO REDEEMED.
I heard the Lord say, let the robbed say they are redeemed! Declare it over yourself and your loved ones. God is redeeming all the enemy has robbed. DECREE I AM REDEEMED NOT ROBBED!
“Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.” Proverbs 6:31
CALL IT BACK
This spiritual principle of fullness of redemption when a robbing spirit is discovered is a Kingdom assignment right now. CALL BACK WHATS BEEN STOLEN! The enemy has over played his hand and many in the body can resonate with this sense of being “robbed” for too long. Finances, relationships, health, family promises, Kingdom purpose, national identity… let the voice of the bride arise and ASK for the nations!
“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance and the ends of the earth your possession.” Psalm 2:8
OUR VOICE IS POWERFUL, CRUCIAL & NEEDED
There is a divine shift from Robbed to Redeemed taking place right now in the core identity of the bride. We are co-heirs with God, partnering with God to decree “on earth as it is in heaven”. Our voice is powerful, crucial & needed.
SUDDEN BREAKTHOUGH: ACCELERATED REDEMPTION
There is an increase of sudden divine shifts. Expect bolder, bigger, sudden, more expansive and unusual breakthroughs. Decree big! Many breakthroughs will be quicker than you envisioned, and so specific to your heart desires & declaration that it will leave many “wrecked” by God’s tender love and specific personal care. Be prepared to “fall in love” with Jesus again.
EVEN BOLDER FAITH
As personal breakthroughs pop, it will encourage even bolder faith to ask for more. But start now. Decree now. Ask now! God is reinvigorating the Hebrews 1:11 “now faith” of his people to speak forth radical kingdom change and unprecedented, supernatural breakthroughs. YOUR VOICE IS NECESSARY IN THE PROCESS…. ask & pray!
I SAW A VISION OF RIBBONS AND BOWS WITHOUT PRESENTS DROPPING FROM HEAVEN.
I was confused why I only saw ribbons and bows dropping with no presents, and for a long time I leaned in asking God why I didn’t see the presents with the bows? There were multitudes of bows dropping and the atmosphere was pregnant with possibility and wild, breakthroughs.
An Ephesians 3:20 season of “infinitely more than we can ask or imagine” is upon the body. But a challenge to the body is; if God is saying He’ll do more than we ask, there’s an expectation that we are at the least asking already! What are we asking for so God can expand upon that?! I watched the heavens open in the vision and ribbons and bows drop over people and faith explode. Many will realise the authority they possess to speak out breakthrough & God change in this season.
I leant in and asked again, “why are there no presents God?” And immediately I understood, GOD IS WAITING FOR US TO ASK!
GOD IS WAITING FOR US TO ASK!
The palpable truth of this pierced my heart. ASK!! Decree. Ask!!!
Ask, Pray & Press in. Contend. Speak it out! God is redeeming what the enemy has stolen but often He is waiting for us to pray and decree and use our authority on earth to call in the breakthroughs, and speak out God’s promises. There is power in partnering with God to decree a thing and see it established in our midst. But even more poignantly, I understood God was inviting us to ask Him for what we wanted.
TIME & DESTINY DOORS
God is specifically redeeming lost or stolen time, and destiny doors to divine purpose. Many who have felt robbed in past seasons, or that Time has escaped them, or their best years are behind them, will be surprised as God redeems time and accelerates what He is doing in their life. God is not limited by our concepts of how long it takes for restoration. I hear the Lord saying you have not missed out, and time has not passed you by, as He is redeeming time, re-designing and re-postioning you. Things will happen quick! Acceleration is upon Kingdom promise and purpose.
JESUS ASKED THE BLIND MAN, “WHAT DO YOU WANT”
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” Mark 10:51
The bible shares of how a blind man is calling out to Jesus and the crowd is mocking him. But when he gains the attention of Jesus, he is brought to Jesus who asks him, “what do you want me to do for you?” You would think it was obvious right? The blind man wants to see. But clearly there was something about speaking out honestly, specifically and with raw boldness what the man wanted. And honestly, anyone who has walked a long journey of seeming unending delay and disappointments, knows it requires courage to speak out what looked impossible in the presence of a mocking, faith squashing crowd. Jesus, the hope giver still says, “all things are possible with God”. There’s something about our own ears hearing what we are asking Jesus for. There’s something about asking Jesus for what we want from him even when the answer seems obvious. We want to see!
I believe God is asking us to do the same… “what do you want Jesus to do for you?”. Answer Him. Speak it out. Decree it clearing and succinctly. This is what I’m asking and believing for Lord.
UNEXPECTED REDEMPTIONS
As God completes what He begins, redeems unfinished stories and restores where the enemy has robbed, there is a sense of unexpected redemptions. God moves outside of what we consider possible, and is not limited by foreseeable solutions. “God is working all things tougher for good for those who love Him” (Rom 8:28) and some of his redemptive stories will surprise people in their creativity and divine capacity to recapture and redesign. God is a divine author & He is re-writing your story and completing the interrupted chapters were the “thief came to rob”.
URGENCY TO ASK, SPEAK AND DECREE
WHAT HAVE WE MISSED BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT ASKED?
The season is now for faith to breakthrough into new realms of manifest glory, harvest and promise. “Ask, seek, knock” (Matt 7:7), “Ask for the nations” (Psalm 2:8), and “Ask in prayer” (Matt 21:22). There is an urgency to ask and partner with heaven’s willingness to break into our nations, family and circumstances with divine turnaround. I often wonder, what are we not walking in because we have not asked? What are we not living in because we have not persisted in asking? What are we not seeing on the earth because we have thought it presumptive or not permissible or biblical to ask? Matthew 18:18 makes it very clear, our voice and authority must be used!
“Truly I tell you, whatever YOU bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever YOU loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matt 18:18
THE FUTURE SEASON IN MANY WAYS IS WHAT YOU DECREE IT TO BE
Your voice is so powerful and anointed that God instructs & compels us to speak forth God’s dreams on the earth. He is equally inviting us to speak forth faith declarations over our life and personal circumstances. This is a season of breakthrough upon breakthrough, and we must hear God asking us, “what do you want from me” and activate afresh our faith for now. HISTORY IS LITERALLY BEING SPOKEN INTO BEING AS WE PRAY. SO GODS CHALLENGE TO US IS SIMPLE: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
Speak forth what God is saying with boldness and ask God. God is waiting to answer our decrees! Your voice is shifting history, activating redemption and partnering with the God of breakthrough.
Be blessed as you pray, ask & decree
