Your Love Reaches to the Heavens: Standing Firm, Preparing the Road, and Building a Community for Destiny
Good morning. God bless you. I want to speak plainly to your spirit today about standing immovable, about the sudden breakthroughs God designs for His people, and about the community we are building together for training, for destiny, and for advancing the kingdom. This is not a commentary on politics alone. It is a prophetic metaphor for how each of us are called to live: unwavering, unapologetic, and anchored in righteousness.
We Woke Up Blessed
This morning I woke with breath in my lungs, purpose in my heart, and joy in my spirit. You woke up blessed. It is the simple things that remind us of God’s favor: breath in our lungs, water in a cup, food in our belly. We do not take these gifts for granted. We rise with gratitude and we walk with confidence because, before we take a single step, heaven is backing us up. That is a truth to declare out loud.
- God’s hand is upon us.
- His Spirit is within us.
- His favor surrounds us like a shield.
Say it: “Yes, God’s hand is upon me. His Spirit is within me. His favor surrounds me.” This is not empty sentiment. It is biblical reality. Favor goes before us and clears obstacles. Where others struggle, we find ease. Where others are rejected, we are selected. If you feel misunderstood, misplaced, or rejected, you are exactly the kind of person God calls to His apostolic, prophetic movement.
Stand Unapologetically
There is a season when the world screams for concessions. The temptation is to bow, to compromise, to be embarrassed into acquiescence. But the Lord is saying: stand. Be stubborn for the right reasons. Do not bend on righteousness and justice. When the people of God stand, God backs them 100 percent. That is the picture I saw this week—an earthly standoff that was really a prophetic sign: when you stand, heaven stands with you.
We are not meant to fit in. We are called to be kingdom advances—prophets, apostles, evangelists, teachers, pastors. We walk differently. We smell different. We are often misunderstood. Come in; you are welcome here. If you feel like a misfit, a freak, or highly misunderstood, you belong. It is precisely because we do not fit into the world that we are chosen to carry kingdom destiny.
Chosen and Called
“Many are called, but few are chosen.” I decree to you that everyone here is chosen. The question becomes: will you choose to move when God opens the door? The Father is looking for faithful ones—those whose lives produce fruit. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” A branch joined to the vine produces fruit. A separated branch is dead wood. Live in Him, make your home in His love, obey His commandments, and expect the harvest to be abundant.
“I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener. Make your home in me, just as I do in you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it must remain joined to the vine.”
Comfort and Prepare the Road
I want to bring Isaiah 40 into the conversation because the Lord has been urging us to prepare a highway fit for our God. The prophet speaks a comfort: your sentence is served, your sin has been forgiven, and now prepare for God’s arrival. Make the road straight and smooth. Fill the valleys, level the hills, smooth out the ruts, clear the rocks. The King is on His way in.
When leaders come to meet one another, they repave roads, sweep streets, clear obstacles. God is no less deserving. We are preparing the way—spiritually and practically—so that His glory can flow through our communities, our churches, and our nation. Be the hands that fill the valleys; be the feet that level the hills; be the voice that calls people to make the road straight.
The Season of Recovery and “Suddenly”
We are in a time of recovery. Decisions that stopped up blessings are shifting. Some doors will close, but many doors will open—doors that only God can open or close. Timelines in the natural sometimes reflect spiritual movements: first the natural, then the spiritual. Consider the stories of Scripture—forty days and nights of shutdown, then a sudden turnaround. David’s slingshot, the four men in the fiery furnace—everything looked shut down, until suddenly God moved.
I prophesy to you: this is a season of suddenlies. You may have been waiting and wondering, but do not lose heart. God’s timetable includes moments when everything changes in a twinkling. Expect the Red Sea to part in your life. Expect the Jordan to clear. Expect deliverance that looks impossible and then becomes reality overnight.
“Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly says the Lord... Suddenlies are coming. Deliverance is only a stone to throw away.”
Prophetic Confirmations and the Open Heaven
Words of confirmation have been coming. Brothers and sisters are hearing prophetic voices who say the heavens are open. I heard Hank Kooneman release a strong prophetic word—“I scoff at your 40 days,” the Lord says. That word urged us to laugh at short-term delays because the Spirit of God is about to burst forth into the natural and the spiritual. When prophetic words agree, we stand confident.
When heaven moves, principalities and powers get exposed. As doors open, others will be shut down and judged. That is part of the clean-up work God is doing. Let us pray with confidence that God will expose wickedness, remove corrupt systems, and bring restoration.
Healing, Favor, and the Nature of God’s Blessing
We declare that God is our healer, provider, defender, and restorer. He is too faithful for us to complain and too loving for us to doubt. Everywhere we go His goodness, mercy, and grace follow. Favor walks with us, speaks for us, and clears obstacles. When you walk in favor, doors open where others see closed walls.
But favor is not merely an outcome; it is connected to faithfulness and obedience. Being chosen brings responsibility: bear fruit, love one another as Jesus loved us, keep His commands, and move when doors open. The Spirit confirms us, and signs and wonders will chase after those who believe. Lay hands on the sick; they shall recover. We are in a season of outpouring.
Taking Territory: Dominion of Canada and the Nations
We reclaim what God has given. This is our home and native land, but we are also declared for the nations. The movement began as a war call for one nation and has expanded into an apostolic training hub with international reach. Prophetic words have spoken of a restoration of “Dominion” and even a unity among North American nations under the kingship of Jesus—what some have called the United Kingdom of America. We stand on those promises and press in to see them fulfilled.
Do not surrender your voice to defeat. If God’s people humble themselves, pray, and seek His face, He promises to heal their land. That requires humility, secret prayer, and obedience—not doom-scrolling or declaring “we’re screwed.” Get on your knees. Decree, and God will establish.
Bind the Powers, Loose Righteousness
Spiritually, there are strongholds and principalities trying to advance agendas opposed to God’s kingdom. We bind those powers and release God’s righteousness, justice, and mercy. This includes exposing corrupt institutions and bringing light where darkness has tried to hide. Every disgraceful decision and every unveiling will eventually serve God’s purposes when His people stand and decree. The Lord takes the ugly and works it for the good of those who love Him.
Building the Community: An Apostolic Training Hub
Now, practical matters. We are launching a community site for training, prayer, and connection. This hub will be an apostolic training center mantled in the Elijah anointing, populated by those hungry to fulfill destiny and calling. It will be a space for:
- Organized discussions by topic so you can find resources easily.
- Prayer rooms and ministry teams you can join.
- Searchable documents and event listings in one secure place.
- Video chat rooms and direct messaging for members who opt in.
Membership matters. The community will be a safe, moderated space. You will sign up, create a profile, and choose whether to be reachable by other members. Your email and phone are never publicly visible. If anyone causes trouble, they can be removed and banned. This is about cultivating a secure environment where prophetic, apostolic, healing, and training ministries can flourish without distraction.
Domain and Identity
I have wrestled with the domain and the identity. Do we anchor the site under my name—HowardOlson.com—or under DeclarationChurch.com or DecreeForCanada? The reality is this: people come to different leaders and ministries, and an umbrella identity makes sense. The community will be called Decree for the Nations—an apostolic hub—while it will live under a structure that links the different ministries and leaders. We will build it in a way that keeps the identity intact while remaining accessible to friends in Canada, the United States, Australia, and beyond.
Technology and Access
We will continue to use Zoom for our live meetings, because it currently gives us the functionality we need—especially for worship and real-time video and audio mixing. Behind the scenes I use broadcast software that acts as a virtual camera into Zoom so I can play worship pieces and videos on the fly. We are exploring migrating to other platforms, but for now Zoom gives us the flexibility required to lead dynamic worship and broadcasting. The community site will embed Zoom links in the event listings so members can join easily.
What I Ask of You
First, embrace this season with faith. Declare what else can go right today. Choose to see God opening doors. Second, be part of the community. Sign up, get involved, join prayer teams, and serve where your gifting matches the mission. Third, pray. Humble yourselves. Seek God’s face. He has promised that when we do, He will heal our land and bring restoration.
We are on the move. The King is coming. Prepare the road. Fill the valleys. Level the hills. Get ready for suddenlies. Expect breakthrough. Be resolute. Be stubborn for righteousness. And be open to serve the harvest when the doors swing wide.
Go out today and do great exploits. Live in gratitude. Walk in confidence. Decree and declare, and watch heaven respond.
