How to Find Your Peace After Terrorism Strikes by Doug Addison

This was my Daily Prophetic Word for Saturday, November 14, 2015 (which I write the month before):

You will need eyes to see as God is speaking through the news and prophetic signs are all around.

The night before, on November 13, Paris suffered a terrible terrorist attack. People have been asking me, “What was the prophetic sign in such a tragedy?”

God did not cause this and it was not judgment on France.

Terrorism is a demonic attack that is trying to get our eyes off what God is doing and take away our peace. We mourn and pray for the families and all of the countries and cities that are suffering such horrific losses from the recent attacks.

I recently released a prophetic word that peace and overcoming fear is a key to getting into God’s timing and provision for the next 7 years. It was 14 years ago that the U.S. suffered an attack on September 11, 2001. Then 7 years after that in September 2008 we saw an attack on our financial system as the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history took place and the housing and economic down turn. Massive numbers of families lost their homes and investments, taking away their peace.

Here we are 14 years later and there have been prophecies that the economy would crash in September 2015, but it did not. God is releasing a new strategy for the next 7 years to recover our losses and set up Kingdom strategies that will result in one of the greatest revivals in history.

The prophetic sign for us is this: to operate in wisdom and not taunt or engage in demonic attacks against us that attempt to remove our peace. A Paris magazine published a comic that mocked the Prophet Muhammad. Even though we have freedom of speech, in the days ahead we need wisdom more than anything and not engage in battles that will draw unnecessary attack on us.

Terrorism is rooted in the spirit of fear. God spoke to me that it is important for us all to get rid of all fear in our lives so we can move in His power and love.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

God spoke to me that this Bible verse is really crucial for us right now. Since terrorism is based in fear, we must not buy into or come into agreement with fear in our lives.

The enemy wants you to lose your power (authority), to take away your ability to love by causing judgments and to get people to stop operating in wisdom.

Keep your eyes on what God is doing and not focused on the attacks of the enemy. Be wise and do not get involved in mockery or judgment. Watch as God does something new in the midst of this.

Blessings,
