When the Hand of God Lifts You From the Pit: Rising Beyond Hopelessness

Greetings to the People of the God of Armies Prayer Community.

Welcome, My Beloved Family in the Spirit,

May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God of Armies, fill your life with strength today. I greet you with deep love and honor, not as a writer, but as a voice sent ahead of grace—to awaken in you the power of divine recovery.
Wherever this message meets you, may it remind you that even in your darkest hour, God's hand can reach deeper still.
Today, I invite you into a holy reflection: what happens when life throws you into a pit—and what it truly means when the Holy Hand of God chooses to lift you out?

The Story: The Depth Before the Rise

A man named Amiel, born in a remote mountainous village with barely a clinic, no electricity, and nothing that looked like hope. From childhood, he had something unusual in his eyes—a light, a fire—but life didn’t spare him. His mother died in childbirth, his father was buried by a landslide, and by age ten, he had known more hunger than comfort.

Amiel grew up with the village priest who took him in, taught him how to read the Scriptures, and raised him with reverence. But poverty held him like a chain. Every time he tried to rise—through studies, through work, through partnerships—something would fail. Rejected by family, forgotten by relatives, he once whispered in his despair, “Even the grave seems warmer than my life.”

One rainy night, with mud up to his ankles and hunger clawing his chest, Amiel wandered into a chapel no one visited anymore.

There he collapsed and whispered only three words: “God, help me.” Then silence.

But what followed in the next three months became the turning point. A missionary couple traveling through the mountains heard rumors of “a boy with fire in his eyes praying in an abandoned church.” They found him, took him in, and sent him to study. Years later, Amiel would become a specialist in trauma recovery, a founder of a healing center, and the man who rebuilt the very village that had once watched him starve.

Beloved, if you are reading this and feel like Amiel—stuck, unseen, or forgotten—know this: the God who lifts from the pit is not far from you. His silence is not absence. His delay is not denial. Stretch your heart toward Him now. For when your strength fails, His mercy begins. Let us now lift our voices and spirits in prayer.

Looking back, he would always say: “I was not saved by man’s mercy. I was pulled from the pit by the holy hand of God.”

Reflection: The Theology of the Pit and the Power of Being Lifted

Many saints wrote about their seasons in the pit—dark seasons where no light entered and no answers came. Saint John of the Cross called it the “dark night of the soul.” But here is what Scripture reveals: “He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along” (Psalm 40:2).

There is a sacred mystery in the pit: God often does not remove it immediately. Instead, He allows you to feel the depth—not to crush you, but to prepare your soul for glory. Just like Joseph, who was thrown into a well by his own brothers and later raised to rule Egypt, the pit is never the end. It is often the place where kings are anointed and destinies are forged.

You may be in a financial pit. A marital pit. A health pit. A spiritual pit. But let me speak this as a prophecy over you: You will not die in the pit. The hand of God is already reaching for you.

Closing Prayer: Pray With Me

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O God of Armies, Rescuer of the forsaken and Defender of the crushed—
Today I bring before You the soul reading this message.
May Your mighty hand reach into every pit they are stuck in—
Lift them out of depression, out of confusion, out of sickness, out of debt, out of fear.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, speak over their life: “Rise.”
By the authority of the resurrection and the blood of the Lamb,
I break every yoke of death and every curse of limitation.
Let healing fall like rain. Let restoration rise like dawn.

Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I Trust in You.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

God of Armies Prayer God of Armies, God of gods, Christ Jesus, be praised forever, you are the greatest spiritual being of all time. Amen.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come, our Lord and God. You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. For you created all things, and by your will, they were given existence and life. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, our Lord Jesus Christ, the God of armies. You are worthy to take the scroll and to break open its seals. For you were killed, and by your sacrificial death, you purchased people for God from every tribe, language, nation, and race. You made them a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they shall reign on earth. The Divine Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength, honor, glory, and praise to him who sits on the throne, and to the Divine Lamb. Be praise and honor, glory and might, forever and ever. Amen. We honor you, O God. Your power is so great.

Final Words from Michael Chikamso: A Call for Faith and Action

To you who are reading: I speak this with certainty—God still lifts. But the lifting only comes to those who cry out. Like Amiel, do not stay silent. Fall to your knees, whisper His name, and expect the impossible.
Rebuild your altar. Light your prayer candle. And tell the darkness: “My help is on the way.”

Depression and Chronic Fatigue

Many people stuck in emotional “pits” experience chronic fatigue, weight changes, headaches, or irregular sleep patterns. These are signs your body is asking for help. Here's how to care for yourself:

• Eat clean: Cut sugar, increase greens, take fruits like banana (natural mood booster).

• Hydrate well: Water restores brain clarity.

• Sleep discipline: 7–8 hours nightly. Avoid screens before bed.

• Spiritual support: Depression is not weakness—it is a call for healing. Pray. Seek light.

You’re not alone. Healing is possible.
