The plow of Judah is moving again.
For too long, many regions, churches, families, and even individual hearts have been covered by the hard crust of apathy, complacency, and spiritual passivity.
There has been a settling of dust where there should have been fire.
There has been silence where there should have been a shout.
There has been slumber where there should have been watchmen on the walls.
But God is raising up a Judah generation that understands that praise is not a warm up for the service, it is a weapon of war.
The plow of Judah is not gentle.
It was never designed to preserve hardened ground.
It was designed to break it open.
There are atmospheres that have resisted preaching.
Atmospheres that have resisted programs.
Atmospheres that have resisted human effort.
But they will not be able to withstand the sound of a people who have learned how to praise God in the middle of the battle.
Just as Judah was sent first before the other tribes, God is once again putting praise at the forefront of His advancing Kingdom.
He is sending worshippers ahead of warriors.
He is sending praisers ahead of breakthroughs.
He is sending those who know how to magnify God before they ever see the victory.
I hear the Spirit saying, "Judah, take the lead."
The enemy has worked tirelessly to silence the Church.
He has sought to convince believers that praise is unnecessary, that passionate worship is excessive, and that radical devotion is outdated.
But heaven is reversing that narrative.
The roar of Judah is beginning to rise.
And as Judah arises, dead atmospheres will begin to crack.
Places that have felt spiritually lifeless will suddenly feel the stirring of the Holy Ghost.
Churches that have existed in routine and ritual will begin to encounter fresh fire.
The ground is breaking.
The plow is moving.
The atmosphere is shifting.
I see the Lord driving the plowshare of praise through fields that have laid dormant for years.
What looked barren is about to become fruitful. What looked forgotten is about to become a field of harvest.
And as the plow of Judah cuts through hardened ground, I hear the rattling of bones.
Just as the prophet stood in the valley and heard the sound of bones coming together, there is a generation that has been written off as spiritually dead that God is about to awaken.
The sound of Judah's praise is becoming a prophetic summons to everything that has been dormant.
The sound of praise is becoming the sound of resurrection.
The enemy fears a praising Church because a praising Church cannot be controlled by fear.
A praising Church cannot be paralyzed by circumstances.
A praising Church has already decided that God is worthy whether the battle is won or not.
This is why God is calling many out of passive Christianity and into militant praise.
Not praise that is rooted in emotion.
Not praise that depends on favorable circumstances.
But praise that comes from revelation.
Praise that says, "God is worthy."
Praise that says, "His promises are true."
Praise that says, "Though the fig tree does not blossom, yet will I rejoice in the Lord."
The plow of Judah is moving through the land, and everything that has been hardened by disappointment, cynicism, compromise, and unbelief is about to feel its blade.
So lift up your voice.
Let the shout return.
Let the dance return.
Let the radical praise return.
The fields that looked impossible are about to become fruitful because the sound of praise is rising once again.
The plow of Judah is moving through the land, and everything that has been hardened by disappointment, cynicism, compromise, and unbelief is about to feel its blade.
