I heard the Lord say, “TIME for the DAVIDS to ARISE!” This is a word the Lord had put in my spirit some time ago and now sense is the right timing from the Lord to share. I pray this Word will push you further into your God-given purpose and destiny and will build up and encourage you concerning your high call in Christ Jesus!

“Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah” 1 Samuel 16:13 KJV.

Some of you in this SEASON are going to move from a position of OBSCURITY to a place of OPEN visibility in the KINGDOM of GOD. This is not for your own personal glory or gain but for the GLORY of GOD. The preparation you have been going through in PRIVATE was to PREPARE you for more PUBLIC ministry. In this time and season some of you are going to STEP onto a newer PLATFORM in your service to GOD. For some reading this, this word may be a CONFIRMATION to you of what the Lord has been speaking to you as of recent.

David spent long seasons in the wilderness to do some of the preparatory work in him for kingship. Then, SUDDENLY one day the Prophet SAMUEL was sent by the LORD to ANOINT David the first time in recognition of God’s chosen leader. In this SEASON be on the LOOKOUT for DIVINE CONNECTIONS with other APOSTOLIC LEADERS the Lord sends your way. The Lord will use them to OPEN DOORS for you to walk through and THRUST you further into your calling and purpose. These relationships and divine appointments for many will happen suddenly and without struggle for it is the LORD who is OPENING these NEW doors and placing the RIGHT people around you in this season.

The DAVIDS God is RAISING in this hour are going to be WORSHIPPERS that will USHER in the very PRESENCE of GOD. They will not be concerned with following a set religious pattern or going through a set of motions. Their PRIORITY will be to set FORTH the FLOW of God’s Spirit. They will have FRESH OIL upon their heads. These DAVIDS will be ATMOSPHERE changers who will carry the fragrance of Christ and even of Heaven as they MINISTER in both the PRESENCE and GLORY of GOD. Like David with Saul even demons will have to flee because of the ANOINTING upon their lives as they begin to minister. And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him, 1 Samuel 16:23, KJV.

Do NOT be discouraged my dear brothers and sisters when many REJECT you not RECOGNIZING God’s call upon your life. In this hour those DAVID’s God is raising up will not fit the MOLDS of MEN but WILL be handpicked by the LORD for such a time as this. Even David’s own father Jesse did not recognize the call of God on his own son’s life.

There may be even some of you who do not understand why there are some who will not support you nor get behind what the Lord is calling you to do. But GET READY because your SAMUEL is coming! The RIGHT people are coming! God RAISES one UP and PUTS DOWN another. When God SAYS YES, despite what MEN say, GOD will do what HE said He will DO!

It’s TIME for the DAVIDS to ARISE!
