“I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness–secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name” (Isaiah 45:3).
This promise is given to someone God described as My anointed. It is spoken about a King who was prophesied to arise in history, a king that would help God's people to build God's house. Who is the anointed king who build's God's house? Is it David or Solomon or Jehoshaphat?
Shocking to discover – God is addressing Cyrus, the Persian King. A heathen King. Cyrus is a secular temporal protector of God's plan for God's people. Christians need to realize that God is so BIG He is ruler of the nations, and even when His people fall short, He safeguards the gates of secular powers in order to administrate His agenda for His house.
On the very night Cyrus came to power the son of Nebuchadnezzar, the great Monarch of Babylon, was having a party with his friends and getting drunk using the sacred temple cups of Solomon's Temple seized in the conquest of Jerusalem.
Suddenly in the midst of the revelry a hand appeared. A divine finger began writing upon the wall. The party froze and Daniel was summoned to stand before the terror-stricken elites. He was asked to interpret the handwriting on the wall. He told the king that he had been weighed in the balance of God and “found wanting.” His kingdom was to be delivered to another.
As he spoke, conspirators in Babylon were at work from the inside of the great city to let Cyrus in. The army of Cyrus had diverted a portion of a riverbed that flowed under the great city, and their co-conspirators in Babylon opened the gates from the inside out to let the army enter.
As the Prophet and intercessor Daniel delivered the word that authorized the transfer of governments the Lord God of Israel gave Cyrus the keys of government.
With this transfer of power came access to things others wanted but could not find – Treasures of darkness! This term typically referred to the wealth of vanquished pagan nations, which was customarily concealed in subterranean vaults. These were vaults with no windows hence “hidden in darkness”. Thus, they are called the treasure of darkness, i.e., treasures which came from the activity of darkness spiritually and were hidden literally. They are also treasures hidden from the eyes of those serving darkness because they are stored up in the spirit for God's rulers. They are the End Time hidden riches of secret places.
For now, know that God is the ruler of nations and while some focus on these “blood red” moons as signs of Last Days doom and the rise of ominous world powers, God says “I am doing a work in your day you would not believe if someone were to declare it to you” (Acts 13:41).
The religious community of old missed the signs of the times, but the Apostles declared GOD WAS AT WORK TO BRING DELIVERANCE to whomever would dare to join Him in His invasion of planet earth. A fresh move of God is upon us.
AS ONE!

Amen. What a great Word. While so many focus on end times and red moons you are right God is doing a work. Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord. If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee, how shall you contend with the horses? And if the land of peace where you have been trusted, wearied you also, then how shall you deal with a swelling Jordan? There is a time but it’s not the end but the beginning… I pray all will run with the footman.
This is a time of great opportunity. Each of us were predestined for this huge adventure.
Could you please give a biblical reference to what you are quoting?
that’s Jeremiah 12:5
Be watching as God takes down one king and sets up another. Wickedness shall be driven from our country BY THE PEOPLE on the INSIDE.
The current administration has corrupted everything. The handwriting is on the wall for our current administration and government leaders. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Per Prophet Kim Clement….Iran and Syria will have their heads (governments) smashed together (destroyed) and the boundaries of those two nations will be changed. The new name will be….Syrian.
Prophet Kim Clement prophecy vault date 08-04-12, Kim speaking, “….I’ve been hearing about the future of America and what’s going to happen with THIS PRESIDENT and of course, in the middle east with SYRIA AND IRAN. There’s something that’s going to explode. IT’S THE END OF CERTAIN RULERS; in fact, ALL THREE. I’m not putting Obama in their same category, but it’s time now, it’s time to move on.
Right on Rosemarie!
I subscribe to Prophet Kim Clement too and he is so right. There is always a dynamic even in the demonic and always hope where it looks like none.
I’m a great believer in God’s abundant Grace and His gift of righteousness! So many look at things as if the cross of Jesus Christ made no difference. I do not! There is a great difference in everything since the cross and our covenant is so much greater than the Old.
I have greater hope and a different perspective when seen through the eyes of faith than I would have otherwise. From my understanding I know that Lance is a great friend too of the Prophet Kim Clement and I pay attention to what they share and many times it’s confirmation to what I already see.
Sorry, the reference question was addressed to Paxtrot
Agreed!
The Cyrus anointing comes upon those believers who are truly competent in their work. “Mighty Kings will be paralyzed with FEAR” is what the word says about those who come into contact with an anointed believer who has the Cyrus anointing on them. Most Christians these days are irrelevant and incompetent in the work…looking for a sign of deliverance (“Like the full blood moon story…the end is near”). They never make a difference for the Kingdom because quite frankly they don’t connect and get along with non-Christians because apart from their belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross for their sins, they actually suck at their work and don’t have the respect of their work colleagues. The Cyrus anointing is a King’s Anointing – unique to King’s. It has nothing to do with priests or being a church pastor. A truly competent believer needs to walk in this anointing for many years before it comes upon you so strong that when you walk into a room for a business deal you feel it and see it come upon everyone in the room. The Awesome thing about this anointing is you cant fake it or spray it on…like a new fad that many Christians fall into. Is this message a little too real? 🙂 Oops!
This is so true. I know. This anointing is real. I am living in it. Thank you Jesus.
Too real? Hardly. You can’t divide the priest from the king. It’s one coin with two sides. Mocking the blood moon’s is unprofitable.
Paul Pavlic: It’s not about us!!!!! We all come from different levels of anointing as God wills. Your comments smack
very heavily of criticism and judgementalism. Remember what the word says about “by what you judge, you will also be judged”. What if you are wrong?
Only when your SPIRITUAL eyes, ears, mind and heart are opened (awakened) by the Holy Spirit can you SEE the KINGDOM. Too many ‘preachers’ are spiritually asleep through the spirit of ‘fundamentalism’, ‘judgmentalism’ and ‘establishment religion’. (There is no understanding and enlightenment to the things of what God is saying, either in his word or through spirit-filled teachers.) They say the most awful things to their ‘flocks’. Their mean-spirited, self-righteous attitudes toward everyone who doesn’t measure up to THEIR standards of what is ‘acceptable’ separates them from actually understanding what they are supposed to do in this world. People like Lance and Kim Clement (just to name only two of many) are considered ‘out of line’ and shouldn’t be listened to. Kim Clement looks like a ‘hippie’ and therefore the establishment church thinks he’s a drugged-out wacko and a false prophet only in it for the money . Those of us who’ve ‘escaped’ the establishment church are considered weirdos and religious heretics. Our SEEKING THE KINGDOM led us to many fine spirit-filled men like Lance and others. If you aren’t LOOKING….you won’t find it.
Cultivate consistent priesthood behind the rent veil; the authority of the Throne [kings] is reserved for those who minister to the Trinity there. The time of the king/priests is arriving quickly. Agreement conceptually without applied lifestyle leads to deception.
Right on total agreement.
I’ve witnessed God using people who were considered unspiritial. God cannot be contained by our own imagination and perspective.

Cyrus was a pagan anointed by the sovereign God for the purpose of accomplishing His Will. His Will will be accomplished. Meanwhile Christian flesh gets titillated by gloom and doom, not taking into account that new testament prophecy is for edification and encouragement.
Good word Lance! There is favor and anointing on His people who will boldly go and do brAve exploits.
I continue to be amazed at how 360 degrees God is? Why do we continue to try to man size his work?
Who is we?
Thank you for the encouragement!!! My heart is always uplifted by your words–my spirit just says “yes”! Thank you for being faithful!
Lance, thank you for this word, for the words of encouragement, and for illuminating the term “treasures of darkness”, and God’s purposes for them.
