There are moments when the Spirit of God does not just comfort you, but recalibrates you. This was one of those moments. The heartbeat of the message was simple, but weighty: you are not a beggar before God. You are a son. You are a daughter. You are royalty in the Kingdom of Heaven. And if that is true, then it ought to change the way you pray, the way you speak, the way you live, and the way you stand in authority over your own life, your family, and even your nation.
Too many people still approach God as though they are trying to talk Him into being generous. But the call here is to remember what has already been given. We do not grovel for what God has already placed in the hands of His people. We receive, we believe, and we move in faith.
Stop Carrying Yesterday Into Tomorrow
God gives a fresh day, everyday. Not yesterday recycled. Not tomorrow borrowed in anxiety. A fresh day. A fresh breath. A fresh chance to see clearly.
That means what happened in a former season is not automatically your identity in this one. Maybe pain defined you once. Maybe failure did. Maybe fear sat on your shoulders for years. But if God says, “This is a new day,” then carrying old labels into it is an act of agreement with something He already told you to leave behind.
There is a cross for that. Lay it down there.
The Bridge Month Between Liberation and Elevation
A major theme was the spiritual significance of this season on the Hebrew calendar. The teaching centered on the journey from Nisan to Sivan, with Iyar as the connecting month in between.
Nisan marks the beginning. It is the month of Passover, the moment when the people of God were covered by the blood and the spirit of death passed over them in Egypt. It is the picture of physical liberation. It is also tied to the redemptive work of Jesus, the Lamb who shed His blood so that those covered by Him would live.
Then comes Sivan, associated with the giving of the law at Sinai and also with Pentecost. This is the point of spiritual elevation. It is not only deliverance from bondage, but empowerment, instruction, and the outpouring of the Spirit.
And in between is Iyar, the bridge month.
This is where the counting of the Omer becomes so meaningful. It is not just counting days. It is preparation. It is consecration. It is moving from being freed out of something into being formed for something.
The message put it like this: we get physically liberated and spiritually elevated.
Why the Ten Commandments Still Matter
During this time of counting and preparation, Exodus 20 was read in full. Not as a dead legal exercise. Not as nostalgia. As a living reminder of what kind of life creates peace, order, and alignment with heaven.
The point was not that salvation comes by law. The point was that God’s ways still reveal His wisdom.
If a people live with:
- No other gods
- No idols
- Reverence for His name
- Honor for Sabbath rest
- Honor for father and mother
- No murder
- No adultery
- No stealing
- No false witness
- No coveting
then they are not merely following rules. They are establishing the conditions for a just, healthy, and whole society. In other words, they are making room for heaven to manifest in the earth. And with that, we went through the act of redicating Canada, America and the UK back to God as we decreed and declares one Commandment at a time over each of the nations.
That is a powerful reframing. The commandments are not random restrictions. They are a blueprint for what life looks like when God is truly at the center.
You Are an Altar Made of Earth
One of the most beautiful insights came from the line in Exodus about building an altar of earth.
That image opens something deep. Humanity was formed from the dust of the ground. We are earthen vessels, yes, but not empty ones. God breathed the breath of life into us. We are spiritual beings having an earthly experience in bodies made from the earth.
So when the call comes to build an altar of earth, the application is deeply personal: become the altar.
Offer your life as a living sacrifice.
Not just in a church meeting. Not just in your words. In your choices, your obedience, your rest, your worship, your relationships, your speech. The true altar is not a piece of furniture. It is a surrendered life.
Your Authority Comes From the Spirit of God in You
People often ask how to walk in spiritual authority, but the answer is not complicated. The source of authority is not personality, performance, or volume. It is this: God has put His Spirit in you.
That same Spirit that spoke creation into being. That same Spirit that empowered Jesus. That same Spirit that was poured out at Pentecost.
If that Spirit lives in you, then you are not powerless.
But authority must be joined to faith. And faith must be free from the paralysis of double-mindedness. If God said it, believe it. If Jesus meant what He said, then stop approaching His promises as theoretical poetry.
Faith sometimes looks audacious. Abraham moved before he knew the full map. Daniel prayed and activated heavenly movement before he saw visible results. There was delay, but not denial. That is an important distinction.
Sometimes the delay is not proof that nothing happened. Sometimes the delay is part of the war, and sometimes it is a divine setup.
What You Say Matters More Than Most People Realize
A thread running through the entire message was the power of words. Scripture says life and death are in the power of the tongue, and that truth was brought right down into practical daily life.
If you constantly speak in agreement with darkness, limitation, fear, and affliction, do not be surprised when those things keep gaining ground.
That includes the language people casually use about sickness. If you keep calling it my disease, my pain, my condition, you may be laying claim to something heaven never assigned to you.
The challenge is to speak differently. Not as denial. As alignment.
Especially in Iyar, the month when God revealed Himself as Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. This is a time to watch what comes out of your mouth. Speak life. Speak peace. Speak healing. Speak purpose.
Command the Morning Before the Enemy Tries to Hijack It
This was one of the strongest practical exhortations of all. Every day arrives carrying possibilities, assignments, and spiritual contention. If you do not rise and speak into your day, somebody else will try to.
The question from Job 38 was central: “Have you commanded the morning since your days began?”
That is not God fishing for information. That is God extending an invitation.
He made humanity in His image and likeness. He spoke, and creation obeyed. Then He told mankind to take dominion. So commanding the morning is not arrogance. It is agreement with created purpose.
To command the morning is to say:
- This day belongs to the Lord
- My steps are ordered
- No evil will hijack what God has assigned
- My family is covered
- My purpose advances
- Mercy is new again today
The point is not empty repetition. The point is to open your mouth and legislate in partnership with heaven. Praise opens gates. Declarations establish direction. Faith gives substance to what is spoken.
Praying the Kingdom Into Nations
The message also moved outward from the personal to the national. Prayer was lifted up for Israel, with intercession for protection, awakening, and revelation of Jesus as Messiah. There was also a forceful declaration of God’s righteousness over Canada, America, and the United Kingdom through the language of the Ten Commandments.
This was not abstract patriotism. It was spiritual legislation.
To declare that a nation will have no other gods, that it will reject idols, that it will honor life, truth, parents, marriage, and righteousness, is to contend for the moral and spiritual restoration of a people.
The message was clear: you cannot have a godly nation without godly people. Nations are not saved by slogans. They are transformed when righteousness returns to the hearts, homes, and habits of the people who make them up.
Healing, Communion, and a Fresh Declaration
The close of the message brought everything back to healing, remembrance, and faith. Communion was taken as an act of gratitude for the body and blood of Christ, and healing was spoken over our nations, our bodies, minds, and lives.
The declarations were simple, direct, and full of expectation and you can declare them now:
- My body is healing.
- Peace and shalom are healing me.
- I will live out the fullness of my days and fulfill the fullness of my purpose.
That is the posture being called for here. Not passivity. Not panic. Not self-pity. Faith-filled agreement with what God has said.
This is the hour to remember who you are, watch what you say, offer your life as an altar, and command your day with confidence. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a distant trophy to be admired someday. It is meant to be called forth, embodied, and lived now.
Blessings, Howard Olsen
