Scripture Focus…
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
(Romans 12:2 AMPC)
When they cried out to the Lord because of Midian, (8) the Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites. He said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of slavery in Egypt. (9) I rescued you from the Egyptians and from all who oppressed you. I drove out your enemies and gave you their land. (10) I told you, ‘I am the Lord your God. You must not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you now live.’ But you have not listened to me.” (11) Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. (12) The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” (13) “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.” (14) Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” (15) “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” (16) The Lord said to him, “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man.”
(Judges 6:7–16 NLV)

The following excerpt is taken from Prayers and Decrees That Activate Angel Armies by Tim Sheets:
Ministers of Valor and Courage
WE DECREE Holy Spirit is now implementing a major shift in the Kingdom of God in our entire region and in this nation. He is now releasing the revival of King Jesus. It is the greatest ingathering of harvest the world has ever seen.
In Judges 6, the “angel” of the Lord appeared to Gideon. For seven straight years, the Midianites raided the people of God and stole their harvests. They were greatly impoverished because of it, but it was time to stop the raiding and the lost harvests. It was time to shift into gathering harvests, and clearly an angel assisted that assignment. The angel was instrumental in shifting Gideon from a passive, intimidated, and desolate existence into a mighty leader of great valor who, with supernatural help, took 300 men and killed 15,000 Midianite warriors. Gideon, a remnant, and angels brought back the harvest.
This ordained for our times as well. Angels, guided by Holy Spirit, are available to assist us in moving from passive Christianity into aggressive, culture-changing warriors who go get the harvest. Angels are busy drawing valor out of God’s people.
On the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, a massive shift was taking place. Jesus sent His Other Self, the Holy Spirit, to begin a brand-new-campaign on the earth. Holy Spirit and His angels shifted the church to new levels of ministry. Everything went to new levels—anointing, giftings, fruitfulness, and authority to govern and reign. Heaven’s hosts were assisting Holy Spirit in an outpouring of power. They assisted in shifting the ministry of apostles to new regions. Holy Spirit came with angel armies to assist the apostles in transforming regions with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. History records entire regions were affected as God’s power produced signs, wonders, miracles, and great healings as Holy Spirit and angels connected their activities to the apostolic campaign.
It is time for a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit and for some fresh fire to come upon the people of God. It’s time for the apostles and the apostolates to transform their regions with a Gospel of power. It’s time to break from confinement to great liberty. It’s time for resources to be restored and multiplied. It’s time to stop the raids of hell that steal our harvests. It’s time to stop wandering around in the wilderness and cross over into a new region. It’s time for the church to rise to a new level of power and authority that God has ordained for our times. It’s time for God’s people on earth to get in sync with Heaven and run with the coming generation. It’s time for the church to hear fresh orders from Heaven and campaign together, releasing the anointing of King Jesus. It is time, in Jesus’ name, to shatter the teeth of chewing, crawling and consuming locusts and, under the breaker anointing of our King, arise to scatter and shatter the constraints of hell, the restraints of government, society, or anything else that gets in the way of the Kingdom of Almighty God. Under Holy Spirit supervision and angelic assistance, it’s time to shift from harvest lost to ingathering.
KING JESUS,
I ask You now for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit and for Your fire to come upon Your people once again. Restore what the enemy has tried to take from the church. Today, may Your angels minister great boldness and valor in and through Your people.
