DETHRONING JEZEBEL








There is a scripture in the book of 1 Kings Chapter 19 where Jezebel sent a message to Elijah threatening him that she was going to kill him the next day just as he had killed the prophets of Baal. She said: "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them." When Elijah heard this he was overcome with fear and asked the Lord to take his life, and then he fell asleep under a juniper tree. Jezebel is also a metaphor of a demonic principality over the nations and the spirit of control and manipulation. The spirit of Jezebel is still trying to silence the voice of God and kill the prophets.  
 
Some of you are experiencing so much affliction from the enemy that you are actually asking God to take your life. You are telling Jesus that the battles are too intense for you to handle and it would be so much easier to go and be with the Lord. There is a time when the warfare will increase just before your greatest victory, but as you remain immovable, steadfast and stand your ground, the Lord will show Himself strong on your behalf.  Don't allow adverse situations to overwhelm you, but use these times as opportunities to trust Him and strengthen yourself.

Then the scripture goes on to say in verse five that the Lord sent an angel to Elijah and told him to get up and eat. The angel left him hot bread and water, and then returned a second time and told him to eat again because the journey was too great for him. The bread represents the living word, fresh revelation, and Jesus who is the bread of life. The water represents the Holy Spirit. The food and water sustained him for forty days and forty nights. Then he tried to hide in a cave and the word of the Lord came to him.

Some of you have prophetic voices which are being silenced in fear by the enemy. The Lord is saying that as you stop hiding in fear and return to the promises and prophetic words that He had once given you, He will provide for you and sustain you in difficult times. He is your protection from those who rise up against you, and your advocate against every word curse that has been spoken over your life. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises up against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is your heritage and your vindication from the Lord.
 
Elijah complained about Israel breaking Covenant, tearing down alters, killing prophets and how his life was in jeopardy.  The Lord then sent a wind, a fire and an earthquake but He was in neither one, but He spoke to Elijah in a still small voice. The voice was so powerful that when he heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of a cave.  As you are also trying to hear the Lords voice in a monumental way He wants to speak to you in a profound way in a still small voice.

Then the Word of the Lord came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"  Elijah replied that he felt as if he was the only prophet left. The Lord told him that He has reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him. The Holy Spirit has reserved people to walk with you and strengthen you in difficult times. They know His voice and recognize the difference between covenant and idolatry. Elijah also anointed other prophets as well as he anointed Elisha who received a double portion of his spirit. This is the season for the double portion anointing and as you stay close to Jesus His personalized mantle will fall on you.

 
1 Kings 19:11-12
"Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord."  And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice"   

2 Kings 9:33-37 
Speaks about the violent death of Jezebel which was prophesied by Elijah.

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
