As I was in prayer for the month of November, I heard the Lord say, "I will defeat the counsel of Ahithophel."
Immediately, I could see in the Spirit what the enemy was doing—how demonic powers were conspiring against God's people, even against President Trump, plotting confusion and rebellion across the nations. But the Lord said, "Do not fear, for I am still in it. What looks like chaos and disorder from below is still under divine order from above."
Who Was Ahithophel?
I went to the Scriptures and began to study: Who was Ahithophel, and why did the Lord defeat his counsel?
Ahithophel was David's most trusted advisor, a man whose wisdom was once regarded as though it came from the oracle of God (2 Samuel 16:23). But when David's son Absalom rose in rebellion against him, Ahithophel betrayed David and joined the conspiracy. Offense and pride had opened a door in his heart, and his loyalty turned to treachery.
Ahithophel's counsel to Absalom was sharp and strategic: "Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king" (2 Samuel 17:1–2 NKJV).
If Absalom had followed this advice, the rebellion might have succeeded. But the Lord Himself stepped in. He answered David's prayer: "O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!" (2 Samuel 15:31 NKJV).
God sent Hushai, a faithful friend of David, as a divine counterstrategy. Hushai entered Absalom's camp and gave advice that appeared wise but was designed by God to defeat Ahithophel's counsel.
"So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, 'The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel.' For the Lord had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring disaster on Absalom." (2 Samuel 17:14 NKJV)
All Plots Will Be Overturned!
I believe that this is what the Lord is doing again in this season. Every secret counsel that plots against God's anointed—in governments, in churches, in nations—will be overturned. The Lord Himself is sending a "Hushai" to frustrate the plans of the enemy and to expose the works of darkness. He is making the enemy's wisdom foolish and turning the traps of the wicked back upon their own heads. (Photo via Rawpixel)
God has always done this throughout history. When Pharaoh's counsel was to enslave Israel, God sent plagues to dismantle his empire and prove that there is no counsel that can stand against the Lord (Exodus 9:14). When the Sanhedrin plotted to destroy the apostles, He raised up Gamaliel to say, "If this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it" (Acts 5:38–39 NKJV).
Even when David was surrounded by betrayal and chaos, he declared with faith, "The Lord sits enthroned forever" (Psalm 9:7 ESV). He refused to run from his calling, because he knew that God's counsel always prevails (Proverbs 19:21).
And Jesus Himself, the Son of David, fulfilled this fully. The Bible says, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8 NKJV), and "having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it" (Colossians 2:15 NKJV). Jesus destroyed the ultimate counsel of the enemy—sin, death, and the grave. Through His blood, He confounded the wisdom of satan and triumphed forever.
Prophetic Word for November: "The Lord Will Defeat the Counsel of the Wicked"
The Lord says, "I am frustrating the secret counsel of the wicked—the Ahithophel agenda that plots in hidden rooms; the voices that seek to betray, divide, and overthrow. I am exposing every spirit of betrayal. I will defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. For just as in the days of David, when the heart of his own son turned against him and his trusted counselor joined the rebellion, yet I the Lord intervened, so now I move again.
"Although his counsel was counsel [that] seemed sharp, strategic, and humanly wise, yet it was intended to oppose David, My anointed." And so I decree, "I am defeating the counsel that sounds wise but wars against My will. Where betrayal has come, I am releasing vindication. Where plots have formed, I am releasing reversal. Where human counsel has risen against My divine purpose, I am decreeing collapse and confusion in the enemy's camp.
"Every demonic structure—every Ahithophel spirit of manipulation, betrayal, and pride—is already under My feet. My blood nullifies the counsel of death, shatters the weapon of accusation, and silences the conspiracies of darkness. Even now, as nations shake, economies falter, and alignments shift, I say to you, I am bringing the counsel of the nations to nothing, frustrating the plans of the wicked. This is the month when Heaven will strike.
"Many understand My patience at indifference, but I say to you that this is the time to act, for My counsel will stand forever. What men call 'good strategy,' I call folly," says the Lord. "What looks like defeat will reveal My dominion. For I am turning the tables, reversing verdicts, confusing those who think they are wise, and vindicating the righteous." (Photo via Pixabay)
I heard the Lord say, "I have seen the betrayal, the weariness, the tears, but I have not abandoned you. I have sent My Hushai—My speedy, divine intervention—to stand in the courts of those who conspire against you.
"The enemy's timing will miss its mark, the trap will be exposed before it is sprung, and the very counsel meant to destroy you will become the evidence of My deliverance. November will not end in confusion but in clarity. What begins in shaking will conclude in stability."
The Lord is saying, "My people shall see that I am still the God who turns the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
"The Days of Egypt's Toil Are Over"
"You are entering a new land, unlike the one you came from. The season before you will not be sustained by your labor but by My rain from Heaven. You have toiled and pressed through dry ground, but now I will cause My Spirit to water your fields. I Myself will care for your land, and My eyes will rest upon it from the beginning of the year to its end. Do not fear the hills or despise the valleys, for I am in both.
"In the high places, I will reveal My glory; in the low places, I will reveal My nearness. What once demanded your strength will now flourish under My grace, for I am shifting you from striving to resting, from survival to inheritance. I am sending the early and the latter rain—the rain of refreshing, fulfillment, and fruitfulness. It will fall upon your work, your prayers, and your promises.
"I will fill your barns with grain, your vats with new wine, and your vessels with oil. The ground beneath your feet will respond to My word, for every place the sole of your foot treads I have already given to you. Step forward and possess what I have promised.
"The days of Egypt's toil are over. You are moving in a land under My watchful care, a land that drinks from Heaven. Walk in faith, for I am watering your destiny with My own hand."
