A SEASON OF WARFARE

Most of us are familiar with the old song “Turn, Turn, Turn” by the Byrds which is also known as “To everything there is a Season”. This song was actually taken from the bible. The book of Ecclesiastes chapter three begins with: To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what was planted but it goes on to say in verse eight that there is a time for war and a time for peace. 

The Lord is showing me that there is a war going on in the spirit realm called the coronavirus and we are called to war against it. We are not warring against people but we are warring against powers, principalities, rulers of darkness and wicked spirits in heavenly places and this beast will be taken down through believers who know how to pray with authority. As Christians, we are called to intercede because we are the only people on this earth who are able to shift this pandemic. Jesus is looking for an army to stand together in prayer of agreement to destroy the works of the enemy.

There was a man in the bible named Gideon who was fearful and weak in his own sight, but mighty in the eyes of God. The name Gideon means “Mighty warrior”. Gideon was called to deliver Israel from the Midianites, but one day Gideon was hiding as they were attacking Israel. God had sent an angel to him saying, “The Lord is with you, mighty man of valor”. Gideon replied with a question, if the Lord is with us, why did all these terrible things happen? The Lord responded, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man. After this encounter with the angel, Gideon went and rescued Israel from the enemy with an army which the Lord had reduced from thirty two thousand men, to three hundred men. The Lord also revealed the enemies plans to Gideon and He allowed him to see into the enemies’ camp. (Judges 7:13-15)

The Holy Spirit is showing me that many of you are fearful as you see this army of demonic power rising up, but Jesus is calling you a mighty man/woman of valor. We will defeat every enemy that attempts to overtake us.This is a word from the Lord. You are stronger than you think you are because you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you. He has called each one of us in the body of Christ to be mighty men and mighty women of valor. He has called each one of us to stand in agreement and slay this giant. Our words carry weight. Our prayers have power. The Holy Spirit is about to move in a mighty way and I believe that this demonic principality has been released from the kingdom of darkness to try to stop this move of God. 


The Lord says; Rise up mighty men and women of valor. It is time for you to take your stand to become who I have created you to be. I am looking for those who are willing to go to the front lines regardless of what they see and hear in the natural. I am looking for those who will not become weary as the enemy seems to be battering and relentless. It is time to go in your prayer closet and pray. It is time to connect with other believers who are strong and courageous warriors. It is time for the believers to remove anything that is weighing them down and come into repentance. It is time for the church to rise up with new authority and power. Don’t allow fear and despair to wear you down. It is time for the church to awaken from a lifeless Christianity. Do not fear the unknown but know that I am with you and I called you to be a mighty man and mighty women of valor says the Lord.


Judges 6:11-12
Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
 
Judges 7:13-15
Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a dream,” he was saying. “A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed.” His friend responded, “This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands.” When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he bowed down and worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel and called out, “Get up! The Lord has given the Midianite camp into your hands.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

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...
