Get clear on what you are here on earth to accomplish. Surround yourself with others who carry the same intensity of resolve as you to get that thing done.
It's a strange thing but stragglers and wanderers will step out of the way if theyencounter a highly-focused group of warriors moving in haste in a singular direction.
You are the agent, authorized by heaven to do something. Act like you know what you're doing and the world around you will assist you in getting it done.
All this falls under the category of “INTENTIONALITY” which could be defined as definiteness of purpose backed by intense desire. “INTENTIONALITY” means a commitment to seeing something manifest.
THUS DOES THE BIBLE DESCRIBE “MEN WITH FACES OF LIONS”, DAVID'S MEN, IN FACT. And each one of his mighty men was a person of uncommon power. The Bible talks about the number of enemies each had killed. They had a kill ratio 10X GREATER than OTHER ORDINARY SOLDIERS. THE “FORCE MULTIPLICATION” CAME FROM PROXIMITY TO DAVID'S ANOINTING – and David was anointed to take a nation.
Translate THAT to the ability to TAKE DOWN and CAST OUT DEMONS.
IF YOU ARE A DAVID, YOU NEED TO GET A BAND OF BROTHERS. Or, if you are a woman, get a band of Deborahs. Raise up others with the same vision. Stay close enough to LET YOUR ANOINTING RUB OFF AND ACTIVATE THEIR CAPACITY FOR FORCE MULTIPLICATION IN THEIR WARFARE.
There are times you need to move with lions and be bold.
This may be one of those times.
P.S. NOTHING freaks the devil out like 5 to 9 people who know how to pray. I'm talking like the old timers. People who get into the Spirit and start hearing and seeing the same things and jump onto the prey till it is devoured.
BAM! Combine that kind of praying with a band of warriors taking massive, focused, high-leverage action in the direction of God's assignment and YOU, my friend, are on the fast track to fulfilling the verse in the Last Days that says…
There's a silver tongue psychopathic AntiChrist prophesied to come. He may be in the shadow of world events right now… He will “do wickedly against the covenant” and shall corrupt by “flatteries”: BUT the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” (Dan 11:32)
They that KNOW their God SHALL be strong, and do EXPLOITS (courageous and historic acts of renown!!)
Surround yourself with lions and KNOW THE GOD OF EXPLOITS.

Lance, your blog posts are always on point. Even the picture of the lions is a very impactful visual. The words and image definitely resonates with my spirit and what I am called to do. Most importantly, it reinforces that the time is now.
Thanks for the activation message. I will go forth and do great exploits!
Sheryl
I’m with Sheryl for my region. Great to see that picture. Thanks so
much!!
Lance..right on target, as usual. So much to think on there.
It sounds like a heck of a lot of fun too, lions and all. Love that phrase “do exploits” as it implies a noble and interesting mission.
The passage from Daniel you cited reads “the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” It is also a great quote because it says it is “the people” that know God who will have this, and not “some” people but ALL of Gods people.
Lance you nailed it again. Unfortunately sometimes around here it feels like Ziklag and all my men want to kill me. So I keep trusting in the LORD and wait till he sends us with more prayer warriors. Your message also reminded me of Elisha encouraging his helper that, “Greater are those who are for us than those who are for them”. 2 Kings 6:16. Also 1 JN 4:4
Ric, If you really feel that way do what David did & encourage YOURSELF in the Lord. Criticizing your people is never helpful. Criticism is just part of the job if you are to lead people.
This speaks to me to the depths of my soul!! I desire to be among “David’s Mighty Men” doing exploits for our King Jesus!!!!!!!
Thanks Lance! You are right on-Let’s do this!!!!
I pray that i can create the tools of heaven to carry this move of God.
Only about 20 out of every 100 Lions born in the wild survive.
Only 1 out of every 300 becomes the King over a pride for a long period.
The King of the pride understands that He is always on call for a battle against an intruder – Defend and Protect or be Killed. Kill or be Killed.
About 1 in every 1,000 Christian truly understands their purpose in the earth…many are “saved” rarely will they become a King in their gifting, calling, vocation or sphere.
You don’t ever here this scripture preached, no one has the guts to say it like it is…1 Samuel 18:24-27…David and his band of Warriors (his TEAM) were ruthless against the enemy, they wanted to send a message that he was the KING and no one should make any mistake…think of how gruesome, ugly and violent this TEAM was in battle. They didn’t delicately cut off 100 philistine foreskins like a surgeon would in an operating theatre. They would grabbed each philistines “package”, cut it off and threw it in a bag! And they only needed to do 100…they were fierce crazy animals, they did 200! Are you part of a TEAM that has crazy people on it that encourage each other to do crazy exploits for God? Is your TEAM perceived by the enemy as a scary threat? Do you have the Leadership ability to lead such a TEAM?
Great word Lance, Love the PICTURE brother…
Hi Lance. This is a year of considerable transition for me, having been made redundant after teaching for 23 years in the same school. However, I know it’s God’s Will. I know that this has happened to release me into a number of things, including an opportunity to embrace the main calling on my life which i believe is to minister through singing , piano and song-writing.This links directly with what you have said. I believe that God wants me to embrace this opportunity NOW! I WANT to do ‘exploits’ from now onward…
God bless you and your family,

This is my first read of any of your blogs. Computer problems, life,…..Yours is one of the Words given over the last 2 weeks that I’ve caught: moments on TV, here and there, that have assured me that this is the time to come forth because I know G-d. I am ready. From obscurity, farm lands, consummed by horrible family trouble to deal with, less and less finances to just enough to see if my rubber will meet the road. Am I true blue. Am I now strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Have I walked in it. Now I need to gather more than the 3 of us that pray. Just before I read this I was thinking this and this Word confirmed it and told me why. 20 years preparing a message and living it– now ready. Get those steady to be together, as one. Thank you for listening.
Just what I needed to hear. Take boldness and courage inspite of the fear. Way to go , Lance!
