February Vol 2: Stepping into the New

SCIF Chronicles: Strategic Council of Intercessory Fire  February Issue: Volume 2

 “SCIF Chronicles: Strategic Council  of  Intercessory Fire .”

There’s a certain calm that comes when believers meet in true unity, where the room isn’t driven by personalities, but by purpose.     In moments like that, discernment gets sharper. Healing moves more easily. Here, what Heaven is saying doesn’t feel distant; it feels near and clear.

In our 5:00 a.m. prayer company called Power Priests, also known as the Strategic Council of Intercessory Fire. Every morning we entered in for a full hour, voices lifted, spirits engaged; each one praying out loud in our heavenly language. Then we paused and shared what God revealed: a vision, a scripture, an impression, a warning, a strategy.

And what makes this space sacred is this: there’s no performance here. No competition.

No spiritual showing off. No one is trying to be the loudest voice in the room.

We’re not gathering to be seen.

We’re gathering to see. Not to be heard, but to hear God.

In this kind of prophetic company, the flow is beautiful and ordered. One intercessor released a vision. Another received the interpretation. Someone else confirms it through scripture. It mirrors the pattern of tongues and interpretation; one speaks, another clarifies, and together the message becomes usable.

The central message was unmistakable: we are not unarmed. God has already placed weapons in our hands: prayer, fasting, His Word, and spiritual tools, and we’re being called to use them with greater precision.

That’s one of the quiet wonders of God: when He releases something, He has already planted the understanding in the room. That’s why we honor the gifts among us. That’s why we trust what God placed in others.

Because when the timing is right, He makes room for every gift He’s assigned to the house, and what He reveals becomes the foundation for our next steps in prayer, family, ministry, business, and even national intercession.  

As God elevates us and requires expansion, we must desire more than promotion; we must also grow the capacity to carry it. That means learning how to step into the new, not just talk about it. Because God truly is doing a new thing, and we must recognize that promotion and enlargement are already moving toward us.

These are not moments to overlook or delay. This is a season we cannot afford to miss.

So, we must stay awake, spiritually alert, and press into prayer like never before. This is not the hour to sleep on God.

Then one statement dropped into the room, simple, sharp, and profoundly weighty—and it shifted everything:

“How will you use the dagger?”

Immediately, we understood: God was repositioning us, bringing us into closer proximity to opposition, and we would need new wisdom to move correctly. Not just to receive promotion, but to steward it. Not just to carry weapons, but to use them properly.

From that one question, God began to unfold the deeper requirement of this season: expansion, maturity, and increased capacity. It wasn’t a random moment; it was the culminating thread of what He had been speaking throughout the month in the S.C.I.F.: grow up, widen your “reach, sharpen your discernment, and learn to handle what Heaven is placing in your hands.”

The Expansion

Author of Revelation:  April Abraham

Elevation will expose you. Not to shame you.  To strengthen you. Before God expands your platform, He will expand your capacity.  Before He gives you authority, He will confront your pride. Before He increases your reach, He will deepen your roots.

Because visibility without stability is dangerous.

·      You’ll feel misunderstood.

·      You’ll feel stretched.

·      You’ll feel the pressure of becoming.

And it will feel like a loss.

·      Loss of who you used to be.

·      Loss of the old comfort.

·      Loss of easy approval.

But what feels like breaking

is building.

God will remove what cannot go with you.

·      Old insecurities.

·      Old habits.

·      Old identities.

Because the next level cannot carry the old weight.  Fire doesn’t destroy gold.

It reveals it. 

And the higher you go, the deeper He must anchor you. If it feels heavier, it’s because it matters more.

·      Let Him refine you.

·      Let Him steady you.

·      Let Him prepare you for what you prayed for.

“After you have suffered a little while, He will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

— 1 Peter 5:10

Reflection & Recall

January marked a turning point for the Power Priests, beginning with a vision of a basketball game. Let’s not rush past that moment like it was “just a word” and move so fast into the next season that we forget how the shift started. Because the Lord didn’t simply announce something new, He introduced it, and He did it with precision.

In that vision, basketball wasn’t about athletics. It was Heaven’s language for strategy, a picture of how grace and government work together in the life of God’s people. It revealed how the “five” (grace, gifting, movement) and the “ten” (order, structure, discipline) come into alignment so the people of God can stop reacting and start executing.

Every player has a purpose. Every believer has a lane. And when we move in rhythm with the divine playbook, the atmosphere shifts, and what used to feel chaotic begins to carry clarity, order, and assignment.

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 (KJV)

“If God be for us, who can be against us?” — Romans 8:31 (KJV)

In a game built for teamwork, you don’t win by talent alone—you win by alignment. You win when people stop freelancing and start flowing together. You win when the court becomes a place of instruction and execution, not attention and ego.

And the Lord began to show us what the court teaches:

· Position reveals identity: know who you are, and where you’ve been sent.

· Spacing reveals wisdom: don’t crowd what God is building, make room for movement

and momentum.

· Communication reveals unity: silent teams get overtaken; connected teams overcome.

· Discipline reveals maturity: every foul is a lesson in restraint, timing, and self-control.

· The clock reveals urgency: there is a season for every play, and delay has a cost.

And then the Spirit made it plain: this wasn’t just a word about individual growth. This was a message about corporate formation.

When each person moves with Heaven’s rhythm, the Lord isn’t just developing gifted individuals, He’s shaping a functioning Body.

Not a room full of anointed soloists, but a governed people.

Not five voices competing, but a coordinated unit that knows how to carry out God’s intent under pressure.

And yes, there will be pressure.

The defense will adjust. The enemy will study patterns. He’ll try to trap us in corners of fatigue, frustration, offense, distraction, and division. But here is where the vision becomes wisdom:

A trapped player doesn’t spiral.

She pivots. She keeps her footing. She keeps her eyes up, and she looks for the open pass. That’s the posture of a mature intercessor. So, in this vision, the court becomes a construction site, God building through coordination. Every screen becomes preparation. Every pass becomes trust. Every rebound becomes recovery. Every assist becomes evidence that the goal was never personal glory; it was a shared victory.

“For we are labourers together with God…” 1 Corinthians 3:9 (KJV)

So take your place. Read what’s happening on the floor. Trust the Coach. And when the defense tightens, don’t shrink—step up. Take the shot. Release the prayer. Make the move. Because Heaven already called the play.

And if you miss? You don’t quit. You don’t collapse. You run it back. Reset. Rebound. Regroup. Because in the Kingdom, the win isn’t secured by perfection. It’s secured by obedience, endurance, and staying in formation—until the final buzzer sounds and God gets the glory.

From the Apostles’ Pen

Now concerning the word “New.” When God speaks of new, we must understand that new does not always mean easier. Often, it means deeper. Biblically, the new consistently followed disruption.

·      After the flood, there was a new covenant.

·      After exile, rebuilding.

·      After the crucifixion

·      The resurrection

·      After Pentecost

New power

The new is not God escaping chaos. It is God advancing purpose through it. Wars do not cancel Kingdom plans. Diseases do not silence prophetic destiny. Environmental disasters do not disrupt eternal design. They expose instability so alignment can occur.

This is not a panic season. It is a positioning season. In this hour, we break the agreement with fear narratives. We break the agreement with catastrophic imagination. We break the agreement with hopeless expectation. We align our thoughts with Heaven’s report.

As Power Priests, we do not react; we legislate in prayer. We speak stability into unstable systems. We pray for wisdom over leaders. We declare protection over regions. We release resilience over the Body of Christ. We pray from position, not from panic.

The new that is emerging will require maturity. It will require discernment, emotional steadiness, refined language, and spiritual authority. We are not preparing merely to survive shaking. We are preparing to steward what emerges after it.

Hebrews 12:27 reminds us that what can be shaken will be shaken so that what cannot be shaken remains. Alignment reveals what remains. And the new emerges from what remains.

Power Priests, this is not the hour to be overwhelmed by the noise of nations. It is the hour to refine alignment. God is aligning His people internally before unveiling externally what He has prepared. The new is not coming to those distracted by fear. It is emerging through those anchored in agreement with Heaven.

We declare that we are aligned with Heaven’s agenda. We refuse agreement with fear. We speak stability where systems tremble. We remain emotionally anchored and spiritually alert. We are prepared for the new God is unveiling. We are unshaken in a shaking world.

Father, we align ourselves with Your will, Your rhythm, and Your perspective. Where fear has attempted to influence our thoughts, we realign to truth. Where distraction has weakened our focus, we:

·      Recalibrate to purpose.

·      Stabilize our hearts.

·      Refine our authority. Mature our responses.

Prepare us to steward the new You are releasing. Let our prayers legislate peace. Let our words establish order. Let our lives reflect unshakable confidence in You. We stand aligned. We stand ready. We stand unshaken.

In Jesus’ name, Amen
