April 7, 2026
Good morning. I’m speaking as a messenger to the Ecclesia, to the remnant, to the people of God who are learning to pray with authority and to praise with expectation. Today is not just another calendar day. Today is a pivot point where worship, prayer, and spiritual warfare meet. And I want to focus you sharply on one theme that keeps surfacing: the Prince of Persia and the ruling powers tied to Haman’s 10 sons.
Enter God’s gates with thanksgiving, then step into authority with praise
We come through the gates with thanksgiving and we enter the courts with praise. That is not religious routine. It is spiritual positioning. Praise is the atmosphere-setter. Praise is the frequency that Heaven recognizes. And it matters because what we are fighting is not flesh and blood.
In spiritual terms, we are fighting powers and principalities, rulers of spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. That is why the strategy begins before we see anything in the news cycle. We wage war first in the court room of Heaven, then we walk into the earth with faith.
Daniel’s 21 days: prayers heard, but engaged in a heavenly battle
There is a recurring pattern in Scripture: prayers can be heard, yet delayed in manifestation because of conflict happening in the unseen realm. The message is not “don’t pray.” The message is “keep praying, because there is a war attached to prayer.” Daniel prayed for 21 days, and his prayers were heard. But there was a spiritual resistance that had to be confronted.
That is the heartbeat of what we are doing: decimating what opposes the release of what God has already promised.
When the sky is gray but the blue is punching through: a word about “the day” you are in
I want to speak to your senses for a moment, because even nature teaches spiritual lessons. Some mornings look stormy. Some mornings look like pressure. But then a hole of pure blue shows up, even before the sun rises. And the Lord speaks: this is a day that He has made.
That means your circumstances do not define your outcome. Your faith does. Your decree does. Your praise does. As you rejoice into God, He rejoices into you, and the Spirit begins connecting the dots most people never notice.
Decimating the Prince of Persia
Let’s name the focus plainly: the Prince of Persia. In spiritual framing, this is not merely a geopolitical label. The point is that there are territorial spirits, ruling authorities, and spiritual heads that influence what happens on the earth.
And here is what I believe the Lord is emphasizing right now: we are not just hoping for change. We are decreeing change.
There is a rhythm to this. Sometimes people think the battle is one dramatic moment. But in reality, it is often a long runway of obedience followed by a sudden acceleration where the “dots” begin connecting so fast that even the onlookers have to admit something shifted.
You do not have to be ignorant of what is happening around you. But you also do not have to be enslaved to it. Keep your eyes on the throne room. Shut down panic. Turn the media noise into a prayer list if you must, but do not let it become a weapon against your faith.
The ten sons of Haman: when the ruling spirits are named and opposed
Now we come to the second focal point: Haman’s 10 sons. In the biblical story of Esther, those names matter. They represent ruling influences. They represent spirits connected to territorial control. And when those names are confronted spiritually, it becomes a picture of what God does when He removes oppression at its root.
What we are doing is not guessing. We are using the pattern God already gave: identify the forces, bring them into the court, oppose them with decree, then stand firm.
Why naming matters
When you name what is opposing you, you stop treating it like fog. You stop calling it vague. You bring it into clarity. And clarity strengthens authority.
This is why so much spiritual warfare involves revelation: not revelation to entertain, but revelation to equip.
Shalom is not just “peace.” It is power that crushes chaos.
One of the strongest teachings in this season is about shalom. People hear “peace” and think calm feelings. But shalom in its truest sense is more active than that.
Shalom is the result of crushing chaos. It is what comes up underneath darkness when light shows up and a decree is spoken. You can see that principle even in Genesis: God spoke, light entered darkness, and chaos was overturned.
So when we declare shalom, we are not declaring quiet while the enemy still holds the key. We are declaring that chaos gets crushed. We are declaring that what is broken gets repaired. We are declaring that nothing is missing and nothing is out of place in God’s order.
Put on the armor: belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of shalom
If you want to fight effectively, you need more than adrenaline. You need spiritual equipment. The armor is not decoration. It is protection, alignment, and readiness.
- Belt of truth: the infallible Word of God that keeps you steady.
- Breastplate of righteousness: protection that extinguishes fiery darts.
- Shoes of peace (shalom): stability that crushes chaos underfoot.
- Helmet of salvation: a sound mind that refuses fear.
- Shield of faith: faith where fear exits because fear cannot coexist with trust in God.
- Sword of the Spirit: the Word of God that slices the atmosphere and does not return void.
This matters because the enemy’s favorite strategy is to put you in a place of fear. Where fear exists, faith exits. So we refuse fear. We advance in faith.
Holy violence: shalom crushing chaos under your feet
There is a word that gets misunderstood: “violence.” The point is not brutality. The point is confrontation of darkness. In the kingdom, shalom crushes chaos, and it can look violent to those resisting it.
So yes, it can look like opposition is being confronted. But it is the same underlying reality: the head of the serpent is being crushed. Darkness is not negotiated with. It is resisted, exposed, and removed.
Jubilee, reversal, and “your tomorrow has arrived”
Alongside war language, there is always reversal language in Scripture. The Lord is not only dismantling oppression. He is positioning the Ecclesia for overflow.
In this season, the message comes through again: Jubilee. Debt cancellation. The wealth of the wicked stored for the righteous being released. It is the pattern of Esther where the enemy’s planned takeover gets reversed into liberation.
And I believe the Lord is speaking directly to your timing: what was decreed before is now arriving. Your tomorrow has arrived. Stand firm and hold fast to the promise.
Practical spiritual preparation: when systems shake, don’t let your faith shake
This is where the conversation turns practical without losing spiritual focus. When pressure increases, people can panic in two directions: spiritually and logistically. So the counsel is consistent with faith:
- Prepare a little food and essentials, not to live in fear, but to remain steady.
- Keep cash on hand where you can, so you are not trapped if disruptions hit.
- Keep your eyes spiritually trained, not obsessively fed by the media noise.
Preparation is not worshiping the problem. Preparation is strengthening your obedience capacity when circumstances shift.
Stop the noise: turn the news cycle into fuel for prayer, not a feeding tube for fear
Many people are getting confused because their thinking is being shaped by propaganda and misinformation. The counsel is simple: shut down what distorts. Use discernment. If news becomes panic fuel, turn it off.
For some, the news becomes a prayer list. Not because you love sensationalism, but because you can identify what needs to be opposed in the courts of Heaven.
“We are his hands, his feet, and his mouths”
God is not coming down to do everything directly. He builds a people. He empowers an Ecclesia. The war on earth reflects what is authorized in the unseen realm.
When you speak in faith, it functions like God speaking through you because you are made in His image and likeness. That is why the decree matters. That is why your “yes” matters. That is why your obedience matters.
Decree-forward prayer: opposing the Prince of Persia and the sons of Haman
Here is the posture I want you to take. Not a passive posture. An active ecclesial posture.
Decree shalom. Crush chaos under your feet. Refuse fear. Put on the armor. Take your place as one who speaks with authority.
Then oppose the names of the ruling influences tied to Haman’s 10 sons. Oppose what represents territorial oppression, accusation, division, spiritual slumber, religious deadness, and everything that denies the power of God.
Do not be intimidated by resistance. You do not fight to survive. You fight from victory already promised.
Release the testimony of hope: before, after, and the fall of the old order
In the middle of shaking, remember: God is orchestrating an overturn. Something old is losing its grip. Something righteous is rising.
So you keep praising. You keep praying. You keep speaking. You do not quit. You do not shrink back. You become stronger as the battle intensifies, because faith grows where it is tested and proven.
Final word: stand firm, decree shalom, and let the appointed victory arrive
Whether the change shows fully tomorrow or takes time to unfold, you are not powerless. You are not guessing. You are positioned. The court has heard. The decree has been sent. The Ecclesia has spoken.
Blessings, Howard Olsen
