Finally Free is a raw and prophetic journey into the divine timing marked on your life from the moment of birth-a sacred timestamp that carries the weight of spiritual warfare and Kingdom destiny. Born February 3, 1977, at 10:18 PM, this moment is not just a birth time but a heavenly marker, a signpost of a battle unfolding between Heaven and hell. In this deeply personal and journal-style book, Derick Blakes takes you on a powerful exploration of how Heaven orchestrates moments in time to reveal spiritual realities and call forth warriors for the Kingdom. Anchored by Luke 10:18-"I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven"-and the cosmic imagery of Revelation 12, 10:18 uncovers the spiritual significance behind the fall of Lucifer and how that same heavenly conflict intersects with earthly battles. Through ten chapters of raw confession and prophetic teaching, Derick unpacks his own journey: growing up in foster care, wrestling with rejection, facing addiction and incarceration, and ultimately discovering his identity as a son and heir called to reclaim lost territories. Each chapter reveals how moments in time are Heaven's divine appointments, where spiritual battles are waged and won. Derick Blakes is a Kingdom author, spiritual storyteller, and prophetic voice whose fiction doesn't just entertain-it awakens, convicts, and commissions. With a pen baptized in real-world pain and divine revelation, he writes stories that don't sit quietly on the shelf-they stand in the gap between Heaven and earth. Blakes is known for crafting narratives where the supernatural collides with the everyday, where courtroom verdicts in Heaven alter destinies on Earth, and where readers encounter God-not just in theology, but in plot twists, battles, and character arcs that echo eternal truth. His breakout series, The Court of Heaven Chronicles, opens the veil on a spiritual universe where angels argue cases in celestial courts, demons invoke ancient legal rights, and the Word of God functions as binding legal precedent. It's not just fantasy-it's spiritual reality disguised as fiction. In his debut volume, Seraphiel: Guardian on Trial, Blakes weaves emotion, scripture, and spiritual warfare into a powerful narrative that resonates with both the wounded and the warrior. Readers don't just read his work-they feel it in their spirit. Every chapter he writes carries a mission: to equip the remnant, stir intercessors, and call civilians into Kingdom citizenship. His stories are prophetic invitations, disguised as novels-crafted so no one can say they didn't hear God's truth. Because by the end, they didn't just hear it. They felt it.They wept with it.And they couldn't put it down.
