November's Grace:

Pursue, Overtake, Recover All, and Spoil the Enemy!

Prophetic Word from Johnny Enlow

In 1 Samuel 30, David and his men experienced a most devastating attack on their home front while they were out on the battlefield. The Amalekites had raided their home front, burning their camp and taking the women nd children and goods, captive. David's men were so devastated that they talked of stoning David. David himself was greatly distressed. Suddenly, David remembered to encourage himself in the Lord and was then told by the Lord to pursue the Amalekites, overtake and recover all. David and his men did just that and they were famously successful. They pursued the enemy, they overtook the enemy, they recovered all that was stolen, and then they so raided the enemy that David had spoils to give to the elders of over a dozen cities in Judah. Truly a successful campaign.

I believe that the Lord has shown me that this November is a month that He is telling us to quit the introspective analyzing of the losses that many have experienced and He is anointing us to Pursue, Overtake, Recover All and then Spoil the enemy. Many of us, while in the service of the Lord, have suddenly found ourselves raided by the enemy. He has swept in and viciously attacked our health, our wealth and our relationships. This entire year of 2014 has been about this dynamic, but I hear the Lord saying if you missed the available victories and catapulting for this year you can still cram it all into November- and by Thanksgiving have an overflowing heart at the goodness of God. There is a four staged strategy for getting this accomplished and we want to identify the practical equivalent for each of these stages David went through.

#1. Pursue!- November 1-8, there is a specific grace to step into the pursuit stage. What pursue means for us today is to identify our losses and determine to contend for restoration. This is an important stage as we won't know if we are successful if we don't identify what has been taken from us. For some of us it is very obvious but for some of us we need to take the inventory of recent loss or robbery from the enemy and determine it is not okay. This whole week, look back at where you have been raided by the enemy and determine that you are going to get it back or some equivalent of restoration.

#2. Overtake!- November 8-15, is the week to prioritize the overtaking stage. As we interpret David's battle for us today we will see that what we must next be secured in is true hope. Hope is the expectation of good from God as we go after losses. This is a week to become convinced that not only did God not cause our losses but that it is in His heart to see us regain that which we have lost. David ran with determination against the Amalekites as he became convinced that God didn't just want him to live with his losses. Hope is the fuel for overtaking the enemy.

#3. Recover All!- November 15-22, is the timetable for experiencing much of the recovering all. In this recovery stage we decree and declare and stand and believe. Our war today is not against flesh and blood but it is against lies of the enemy- specifically about the nature of God. He is absolutely good. Once we recover our decrees and declarations from a foundation of resolve, we will begin to see that which was lost given back. Expect great things this week with evidences and surprises that confirm the thief is paying back. If you will take the process as seriously as David did you will step into as much radical recovery as he did.

#4. Spoil!- November 22-29. The word spoil means to plunder or take the goods from. David now went beyond just recovering all and it was now time to make the enemy restore seven fold what he had stolen. As this week starts step into a spirit of radical thanksgiving. As evidences of the spoil coming to you manifest than make sure to thank God for every little thing that begins to happen. Spoiling happens in an atmosphere of thanksgiving. This is why it is only appropriate that this be Thanksgiving week. Aggressively look for and recognize every token of grace that God is pouring out this week and you will see your spoil and your plunder will abound. This is His heart for you.

May this be the greatest Thanksgiving ever for so many of you as you see the goodness of God in the land of the living. He is not okay with you being picked on and stolen from and may November bring you the spoils of proof.
