Tonight the Lord asked me to speak in tongues during a song of worship and I think he wanted me to write the next message.

For I have seen your faith, I've seen your endurance. The temptations have been many, but I've seen your endurance and though the afflictions of the righteous may be many, I keep you from stumbling. For you are beautiful in my countenance.

I long to see you face to face and it will not take long till we meet in the air. Be ready and have your hands high lifted up to meet your king.

For the enemy has not been able to destroy the works I've prepared for you from the beginning to walk in. Shout with a mighty voice of triumph for the brethren that I've accounted for on your behalf have been mightilly exalted. Boast in me and I will boast in you, o I will boast in you. Destroy the enemy by alllowing your faith to blossom from the bottom of your heart. He will not be able to contain the presences that are within.

Speak freedom to your foes and I will free them from condemnation of themselves. Love endures. Write the scriptures, write the scriptures. (This is what I heard, I cannot explain everything, of course I know the scriptures have been written).

For the new wine is ready and she's been poured out into those who have their glasses ready.

Neighbor to those who love your presence and boast in their presence. Do not blame those who offend themselves for having righteousness. In the end judgment will reap them. There's no need to worry about the judgment. The judgment will flow abundantly through my hand. My hand is so strong and my right arm is so mighty on your behalf. Look in heaven, see the glory, see the presence of the Lord, see His glory, unite with his Kingship for you have been prepared for a time as such. For I have longed to gather you, I've longed to gather you. Nothing you do in my name is in vain. I've seen your sufferings and therefore I will exalt you.

For Lazarus had to be stinking dead in order to raise so it could be evident the dominion that was been taken was from heaven and not from earth. Rejoice in my triumph. I am the everlasting. I am sitting on the throne and my beloveds have an everlasting heritage.

Merchandize my glory and I will merchandize you. Obey and I will obey you.

--I've not mentioned this before, but perhaps other overcomers recognize this. I've heard a lot of names of which the Lord made it clear I had blessed them (like the sheep). At a certain moment the Lord made it clear I was so hidden in His hand and in blessing others I could only be blessed, whether it would be by enemies or by friends: Kores out of Isaiah. After Jacob worked seven years for Leah he begot Rachel. The Lord is a sovereign Lord. So what I mean is the blessing attitude is one that erupts the favor of the Lord.







My Beloveds,

Do not set your sights on earthly leaders, and on people of apparent importance and power. Will you not be disillusioned every time you put your trust in man? Have I not told you not to put your trust in man? or in princes? You look to see if this or that candidate will fulfill my laws on the earth, and wonder which one is the one chosen of the Lord? And do I choose such leaders? It is not for you to pant after earthly things, earthly realms, earthly kingdoms, for these have been given over to the Enemy. It is for you to pray My Kingdom into the earth, first into your earthen vessel, your spirit. If you want godly leaders, you must be a godly people from which these leaders will be birthed. Will a godly man be birthed in the muck and mire of sin and death? I tell you my children, do not pray and fast for who shall lead you, rather, pray and fast for the people to have their eyes opened, and to be brought to repentance, to see the Truth and their true condition, and from whence they have fallen as a nation, and then will you see the old strongholds collapse, the iron ceilings broken in pieces, and the corrupt and craven run to their hiding places. It is then you will see the wave of my glory sweep through your nation. Pray and fast, pray and fast I tell you, every day, for the eyes of the people to be opened, for true repentance to bring true cleansing, and for a new spirit of godliness to reign.

---------------------------------------------

But rise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you to serve and bear witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles -- to whom I send you to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' -- Acts 26:16-18

-------------------------------------------

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. -- Ps. 118:8-9

-----------------------------------------------

Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. -- Ps. 146:3

-----------------------------------------------

Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, with trembling kiss his feet, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. -- Ps. 2:10-12





In a vision, I saw someone write the amount $100 in a blank. The two zeros were written in the shape of hearts. Why did You show this to me, Lord?

I want My body to sit up and take notice of what I am about to present. I want you to know that I do all things well, with great precision. There is nothing that anyone in the world can do to change the direction of My will for My beloved church - nothing. So get that mindset, beloved. Get it good and know that My will is unfolding, as I speak, with My expertise.

Now you are going to see funds, as you know them, take a nosedive. Do not despair when this occurs. Know that I am with you. I will see to it that you will be covered in every area of your life. I will be with you throughout all that occurs.

Know this too: Those who love their money, those who hold it close to their hearts will realize that it was not giving them what they needed. They are going to recognize that the Almighty is the only one who fulfills the longing that is in their hearts. They will see that serving Me pays off in benefits they never dreamed. Yes! I am doing a fine work in hearts. I am drawing all who will come into the sweet realization of Who I am and they will see that the Beloved’s intent all along has been to see them blessed, blessed abundantly. Never doubt, never forget, this truth.

I tell you, beloved, that a new era is coming. I will be at the helm of My church. I will be steering you in the direction of My will. You will know bliss deep within your heart. You will know the wonder of My grace and you will see that following after My heart pays off in dividends that exceed anything you could ever imagine.
Get ready for your most exact God to bring forth His most exact will, with the exact purpose of drawing you closer into My arms of love. This is a place where you will know the intensity of My love, walk in My divine truth, and experience Me and the wonder of Who I am.

Do not be perplexed when you see the world’s system go by the wayside, beloved. Do not be perplexed by what you see, dear heart. Look to Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith to bring you full circle, full circle out of the enemy’s territory and back into My arms of love, that place that I have had reserved for you since before time began.

You are Mine. I am yours. We are moving into an arena of My grace that you have never known existed. Let it be enough to know that it is My delight to move you there, to have you there, and to know with a certainty that My work on earth paid off, it paid off to any heart willing to receive, any heart willing to walk in the truth of My will today, tomorrow and forever.

I am a good God, with a good purpose. I want to bless you and move you into your full inheritance. Let it be enough to know that you serve the King of kings, the Almighty Creator. Relax in this truth, dear one. Relax in this amazing truth, this fact!!!

PERILOUS TIMES

Perilous times are here but do not fear for I the Lord am
with you. I will never forsake you. In all ways
acknowledge Me and I will direct your path. Look not to
the left or the right but keep your eyes on Me. I have
brought you this far and I will bring you the rest of the
way.

I will bring you through the trials and tribulations
that are coming on the earth and you shall know that
it is the hand of the Lord that has moved on your behalf.
Do not doubt but walk in faith and do not waver. Do not
waver but stand tall and strong in this hour. Stand fast
against the enemy and do not give in to what he throws at
you. You will over come by the blood of the Lamb and the
word of your testimony.

Do not love your life but be willing to give it up for
My sake. Again I say to you, stand strong and be of
good courage and I will strengthen your heart. The day of
the Lord is at hand.

“You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.” {Exodus 19:4, Amp Bible}





I have come through over two years of a whirlwind of changes. If you are like me, you try to make sense of what is going on, but you can’t. You can only explain to others what you barely know yourself. You consult God for answers, but sometimes encounter silence. The thought occurs, “God where are you? Why do I feel so alone?” It also gets to a point of where there is no use wasting time talking to people who cannot help you like God can. You may have felt like your feet have weights on them, and you cannot take another step.



There were things I tried to prevent and pray my way out of. I experienced the loss of dreams, my home, car, and experienced weak health that lead to major surgery. Yes, just when things began to calm down for a moment, my body was sickly and no longer going through the common cold or flu. I knew something was wrong. Why am I sharing this with you? It is because it takes real people to minister to real needs in other peoples’ lives. The up and coming, teacher, motivator and writer was facing lows. You see, I now understand that the script was apart of God’s plan to mode and shape me into a more quality vessel. Some things I did not have to go through, but were there things I had to go through in order to be where God wanted me to be. My story is God’s glory!



This summer my family and I were blessed to take a trip to Stone Mountain, Georgia. We walked on top of the mountain of Stone Mountain Park. The experience was truly a testimony of God bringing me to a place of peace and victory in my spirit and soul. Things that once troubled me no longer troubled me. Also, “superwoman” died and became super in God and Him alone. I have learned to rest in and rely on God more than before. The scripture in Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know I am God” has taken on a new meaning for me.



I do not know when and where you have been over the last several days, weeks, months, or years. But, no matter what you had to face, you have not been alone. God wants you to exchange your weakness for His strength. You may feel like you have had enough and cannot take any more, but you need to know that God’s grace is sufficient. You see, when you felt like you could not take another step, the Lord was lifting you up on the wings of eagles’. In the past, present, and future, it is God who will you hold you and carry you through. Because Jesus lives, you can face tomorrow. Sometimes God may be silent, but He is always there. He will carry you through.


Rosh Hashanah and
The Ten Days of Awe
by Matt Sorger

Transitioning Into and Preparing for Spiritual Awakening

Rosh Hashanah is one of the highest holy days on the Jewish calendar. I have come to understand that God works in times and seasons and never does anything haphazardly. Over the last four years since God first launched us out into the healing ministry I always noticed that each year September would be a significant month spiritually for us. It was in September of 2002 that our ministry was birthed and each September following God has brought a significant change and transition. It was only this last year that I discovered that September marks the first month of the original Jewish calendar with Rosh Hashanah marking the first day of the New Year. I gained a revelation and understanding that the Jewish Feasts and Holy Days mark important times and seasons in the Spirit. God still works in line with His original calendar.


A TIME OF TRANSITION AND CHANGE-REALIGNMENTS ARE HAPPENING

September, coming into the Jewish New Year, is often a time of transition and change. Often times when the Lord brings change there comes a realignment of things and there is a cutting away that happens. This brings a realignment of the Body so that we are in the right place at the right time for the purposes of the Kingdom. I believe for many in the Body of Christ they are entering into a new season in their lives where God is calling them to leave the old behind and step into the new. Things of the past that have hindered and impeded our forward motion must be left behind if we are to move upward in God’s purpose and call. It truly is a time where God is stripping and removing everything that would hinder our race in Him. As we transition into the new we must understand what He is doing and what things He is requiring of us to leave behind. This transition will be different for each one of us depending on God’s unique plan and destiny for our lives. We must have an ear to hear Him in this season.


BE CAREFUL NOT TO CARBON COPY OLD PATTERNS

God is breaking out of the box. We must be very careful in this next season not to pattern ourselves after models of the past, even good models. We must not carbon copy ourselves after patterns of ministry that worked in the last season. God is doing a new thing. To move into the new wineskin we must remain very pliable and sensitive to what God is doing and how He is moving. This will require a keen sensitivity to His voice and a boldness not to blend in and go with the flow. It will require a heart of total obedience and death to self.

Lev. 23:23-32 share about the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement.

There is both historical and prophetic significance in each feast. The first three feasts deal with the first coming of Christ while the last three look forward to His Second Coming. Each feast will be fulfilled historically through the life of Christ.

The Feasts still hold great significance for us today.

Jesus said in Mt.5:17 “Think not that I have come to destroy the Law, or the prophets. I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”

Col. 2:16-17 also indicates that these feasts are a “shadow of things to come.”

Things that have been concealed in the Old Testament have now been revealed through the life of Christ.

THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS – BEGINNING A NEW YEAR SPIRITUALLY

Sept. 29, 2008 marks the day of Rosh Hashanah, beginning the spiritual New Year. This day begins the period known as the Ten Days of Awe and ends in Yom Kippur and the Day of Atonement.

Rash Hashanah is also known as the Feast of Trumpets. According to the World Book Encyclopedia during this festival the Jewish people pray for God’s forgiveness, for a good new year and for long life. According to Jewish tradition this day is the beginning of God’s annual judgment of humanity.

During this spiritual season the eyes of God are searching our hearts. It is a time to:

Humble ourselves before God and let Him search and judge our hearts. We must have a contrite attitude and repent of all sin.

Pray God’s blessing over the New Year.

Pray God’s blessing for a long and healthy life in Christ.

The World Book Encyclopedia indicates that Jewish services on Rash Hashanah emphasize judgment, penitence and forgiveness. A shofar is blown to call the people to a place of repentance of sin and to be awakened to holy service to God.

A MOVEMENT OF HOLINESS AND POWER

During this season there is a call going out to holiness and power!

As we transition into the new season we will see two very important streams running parallel to each other in the Church. There will be a stream of very deep holiness along with a stream of extraordinary power.

The days of mixture are over where people have operated in the anointing in public and lived in sin in private. God is calling us to a higher standard and to a place of spiritual maturity. God is bringing the Church into a place of true son-ship. For this to happen we must experience His holy, loving discipline so we can mature into the place of holiness and power He is calling us into.

God is dealing with all mixture in the heart of the Church, corporately and individually. There is a greater glory coming and in order to hold its weight we must have a firm, strong foundation. When you are building the foundation of a house, it must be strong in order to handle the weight. As the cement is mixed there can be no sand or stone mixed in with it or it will become weak and brittle. When the weight of the house is placed on top of it, it will crack and break. As the power of God increases on the Church we must have an even more solid foundation. God is taking all the mixture out so we can handle the pure power of the Holy Spirit.

In this season of Awakening we will see two parallel streams: holiness and power.

We don’t always know what is in our hearts. If there is something that must be purged, God will purge it.

This is a time and season where we need to humble ourselves and let God search and cleanse our hearts.

WHAT WE SOW NOW WILL DETERMINE THE DIRECTION FOR THE COMING YEAR

The position we take before God will determine the direction of the rest of the year. What we sow now will release a harvest for the coming year. Rosh Hashanah is known as the “Head of the Year”. Jewish tradition says that this day marks the anniversary of the creation of the world and is the day when God takes stock of creation. Just as the head directs the body so God’s judgments on Rosh Hashanah direct the events of the coming year.

I shared earlier that it is very important what we sow during this season. The seeds we sow will come into quick harvest. Since Rosh Hashanah begins a season of God’s judgment, we must be very careful not to sow seeds of judgment into the lives of others. When I talk about God’s judgment some will jump on that and say ‘Yeah! Man is so sinful God is just going to destroy the world!’ When I say judgment I don’t mean God’s destruction. God’s judgment is always redemptive and His discipline is always in love and with encouragement. Correction that comes without encouragement is not from God’s heart. His discipline always encourages us to rise higher; it never discourages us nor knocks us down. That is usually the work of a critical, judgmental spirit.

In Mt 7:1-2 Jesus exhorts His disciples “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

We must be sure to keep a humble heart and not sow critical, fault finding judgment into the lives of others. That kind of judgment will release a harvest you don’t want in your life. The measure you sow will equal the measure that comes back to you.

God will allow this reaping to expose what is in our own hearts. Many times we don’t even know everything that is within us, nor what is driving us to feel the things we feel. Usually false judgment starts with an offense. That offense may not even be grounded in absolute truth. It may result just from a difference of opinion or style. We think our way is better and become critical of others. This is actually a self righteous spirit and does not communicate the pure heart of God.

DISCERNMENT V. ACCUSATION – KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE

It is important to understand the difference between discernment and accusation. Spiritually immature people don’t know how to distinguish the two. They begin to operate in a spirit of accusation thinking they are operating with the heart of God when they are actually coming into agreement with the wrong voice, the voice of the enemy. The enemy’s voice can sound very self righteous and indignant. If we are not spiritually mature enough to check our inward attitudes we can easily come into agreement with this voice and become a ‘crusader’ for judgment and accusation thinking we are helping people by pointing out everything we think is wrong. This can be a dangerous place when we step into agreement with the accuser of the brethren and begin to sow division rather than love, encouragement and restoration in people’s lives. God has called us to be agents of healing and love, not division. Be very careful that your discernment doesn’t cross the line into accusation. Those are seeds you do not want to be sowing.

When we are operating in true discernment from the Holy Spirit our hearts will overflow with love for that individual and we will respond like Jesus. Jesus laid His life down for others. The main purpose for discernment is prayer. If we lay down our lives for others in loving prayer, then God’s hand will move beautifully in their hearts bringing the change that is needed and we don’t even have to say a word. Our job is to pray with a right spirit and then speak only if we have earned that place in a person’s life through loving relationship, trust and humility. Prov. 27:6 says “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” The key word here is ‘friend’. These wounds are easily healed because they are full of heartfelt love.

Jesus never threw stones or spoke hurtful words. He rebuked the religious people from time to time, but never cast stones at those caught in a sin. He would confront sin when needed but at the same time would offer perfect, eternal love with a heart of mercy and restoration. We must hate sin, but always remember to love the sinner. We must also be careful not to judge someone just because they have a different style or way of doing things. Style is not a sin issue. Man judges by the external, but God always looks at the heart. We must be careful to look with God’s eyes and not our own.

A GOOD TIME TO TAKE STOCK

If you have ever been the victim of false accusation or judgment, it is a good time to take stock of your own heart and ask yourself, “Have I ever sowed this into someone else’s life? Have I ever had a critical, fault-finding attitude toward someone else?” Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t. But it is good to check. Sometimes we have such a sense of conviction with our judgments that we are sure we have God’s heart. Not always. We can be sincere, but sincerely wrong about another individual. We are all susceptible to this deception if not careful.

As we move into the next season God has for us, the position to take is that of humility, searching and judging our own hearts so that we ourselves are not judged. It is also a time to pray for God’s blessing and favor on the New Year.

Following Rash Hashanah is the Ten Days of Awe leading into The Day of Atonement on Oct. 9, 2008.

The Day of Atonement is the day the High Priest would go into the Holy of Holies and apply the blood of the sacrifice to the mercy seat to atone for the sins of the people from the previous year. There was no barrier between the High Priest and the full manifested glory of God.

I believe that as we humble ourselves before God and embrace the sacrifice of the cross in a new way in our lives, we will experience a depth of intimacy and communion with God deeper than we have ever known before. There will be no barrier between us and the glory as we embrace the work of the cross. Humility opens the way for us to go deep into a pure communion with God.

It will be out of this place that we reap the amazing Harvest that is awaiting us. Not only a harvest of God’s mercy and love in our own lives, but a harvest of global proportions as we see the heart of humanity turn towards God in this last hour. Get ready to move in His extraordinary power based in a life of holiness, humility and extraordinary love. The best is yet to come!




DON’T GAMBLE YOUR CONSCIENCE IN YOUR FREE TIME 6/10/08



HEARD: You have to be very, very careful with...

PIX: I saw the face and head of a brown thoroughbred horse.

HEARD: He knows his brother. Colt.



{Bob Jones says that horses usually represent horse flesh}



DREAM: A fellow came up to me and had a car key in his hand that looked like a white IPOD remote control. The remote opened the doors to a matching car. He had just won a solid white car that looked like shiny white armor, matching an IPOD. It was a very fancy and rich car. He said that the owner had gambled it away 3 nights in a row and lost it.



HEARD: 7:30 – 9:30. Obey.

PIX: I saw a TV guide line up that listed shows from 7:30-9:30 PM.



HEARD: Stay edifying.



1 Cor 10:23-24 NKJV

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify . Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.



1 Cor 6:12-13 NLT

You may say, "I am allowed to do anything." But I reply, "Not everything is good for you." And even though "I am allowed to do anything," I must not become a slave to anything.



1 Cor 8:9 NLT

But you must be careful with this freedom of yours. Do not cause a brother or sister with a weaker conscience to stumble.



WORD TO PONDER: DON’T GAMBLE YOUR CONSCIENCE IN YOUR FREE TIME 6/10/08

Dear ones, when you choose your entertainment, do not gamble with your conscience. Your ministries are at risk when you bankrupt your soul through choices that destroy instead of build up. Bring your bodies and souls under subjection lest by any means when you preach to others, that you instead would become a castaway. Seek that which is helpful and never become a slave to entertainment of any sort. Seek another’s well being and do not make choices that will cause them to stumble. Choose what is edifying and healthy to your body, soul and spirit and many will remain in safety through your example.



1 Cor 9:27 AMP

But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit].



1 Cor 9:27 KJV

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.


October 4, 2008. Plant yourself like a tree beside the river. Choose to let your roots drink and feed from the rich resources of the riverbed. Make a decree that you have chosen to stay put in this holy place to which your God has brought you. Never mind if the sun is scorching hot and the wind is dry. You plant yourself in faith that this river will not dry up and that its goodness will fully come to you. No one can do this for you. Make your decree! Step out and plant yourself. Many will come to you because of your courageous position. The will see and others will come to see the hand of the Lord upon you.
Psalms 1:3 (NLT) "They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper.” Ras Robinson*

October 4, 2008. You have a lot to do in the time ahead. A long list is facing you. You are uncertain what to do first. There are a couple of tasks you had rather not do at all. You keep putting them at the bottom of the list, but at the same time knowing it must be done. One involves a suspected lengthy conversation. It won’t be as long or as difficult as you have been thinking. I tell you to get these hard things done first and the rest will fall into place. Just get to work on it. This is better for you than having nothing to do. Remember a time when you were bored.
Ecclesiastes 11:6 “Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.” Bev Robinson**




A DREAM VISION ABOUT THE USA – AND THE ANSWER

I realize many people reading this posting live in countries other than USA.
However, this message is extremely relevant to all readers.

THE DREAM VISION I HAD WAS AS FOLLOWS:

In the night I was awakened with a dream or night vision. I prefer “vision” because the prophet Joel said, "It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.” (Joel 2:28)

In the vision I saw a band of paramilitary men in black uniforms and face masks with assault rifles. They were standing guard, taking over, a local community shopping area. It could have been a downtown metropolitan shopping area . . . or a small town local community shopping area. There were about eight or ten of them. I was made to KNOW in the vision that this was in the USA.

They had their weapons ready at waist level with straps around their shoulders. One of the men [citizens] in the crowd resisted, and said: “This is the USA and you cannot do that here; this is our country!” Immediately one of the paramilitary men walked to the man, aimed his assault weapon at the man’s face with the end of the barrel about three inches from the man’s face, and shot at him. Nothing came out of the weapon but air.

After that, I realized that I was in the crowd. I went to the man who shot and told him: “I challenge you. You can NOT do that here. This is our country. I will defeat you myself.”

MUSIC


After that statement, I grabbed an iron bar and started after the man. He then jumped into a cement stairwell, or encasement. I began pounding into the stairwell to attack the man, attempting to strike him; however, he never came out. I then began to challenge the other paramilitary men. They were powerless.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM VISION IS THIS:

Today, in the world, there are TWO churches:

1. The Western and European church.

2. The persecuted church (most of which is underground).


Today, in the world, there are TWO major OVERT militant spiritual forces in the world:
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

1. The evangelical soul winning church (having some members from all arenas of Christendom: Protestant, Catholic, non denominational, transdenominational, independent, non affiliated, house church, cell groups, and underground churches). These are militant spiritually, but NOT physically, operating in the Spirit of God.

2. The fundamentalist Islamic factions (such as Wahabi and terrorist groups). These are militant physically, operating in the spirit of Satan.


The purpose of the enemy in Islamic fundamentalism is to QUIET . . . or STOP . . . THE VOICE of Christian witness, especially the Good News, but also including all types of freedom.

Islamists have NO joy. Their services do NOT manifest shouts of praise or exuberance. There is NO animation or liveliness in their services, because nothing about which to be animated. You know a tree by its fruit. Islam kills, binds, tortures, and oppresses. This is the fruit of Satan.

Christians, real Christians, shout with joy and praise God because of the saving, healing, delivering, real miracle working power of Jesus, the Messiah. This is the fruit of the Spirit. Acts 13:52 says, “They were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.”

MUSIC

The message of the dream is this: Do NOT let the enemy STOP your voice . . . (or your shout, for that matter!). If you lose your shout, you lose your victory!

Several forces are at work in the USA to stop FREE speech. Political correctness is one of them. Already, in Canada and New Zealand there are laws in place to prohibit speech (even from houses of worship) against such things as homosexuality and false religions.

Do everything you can to resist this:
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

First, start with intercession daily, and fast as the LORD leads.

Second, resist with your words.


Never let the devil quiet your voice. When Peter and the apostles were released from prison by the angel of the LORD, they then went into the Temple and preached.

“When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The Kohen Gadol [High Priest] questioned them, saying, ‘Didn't we strictly charge you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Yerushalayim [Jerusalem] with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us.’ But Kefa [Peter] and the emissaries [apostles] answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.’” (Acts 5:27-29)

The last great bastion of Christian freedom is in the USA. However, the persecuted church in Communist, Islamic, Asian and third world countries is growing rapidly because of bold witnesses who are willing to face death, extreme persecution, and torture, if necessary.

The old adage at weddings, “Speak now, or forever hold your peace,” is quite applicable in this situation.

Pray and fast.

Speak.

Speak to Satan (bind him) from taking inroads into your country and community.

Speak out and witness for Christ.

Speak out to community leaders and vote.

Speak in prayer and loose the Holy Spirit as a standard against the evil one and his forces.

MUSIC

"When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59:19)

“It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” (Isaiah 10:27)

In the olden days, the standard bearer always began the battle by first attacking (striking at) the enemy. The Holy Spirit of the God of Israel is our standard bearer, and we can loose Him to strike first.

In the dream vision of the night, I went out to attack with iron: symbolic of the sword of the LORD. The enemy can NOT stand against the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. Go out against the enemy with the ANOINTING and the WORD OF GOD.

Remember, in Isaiah’s day when the Assyrians were threatening King Hezekiah, and the Angel of the LORD killed 185,000 of the enemy in one night, according to the word of prophecy spoken by Isaiah the prophet. “The angel of the LORD went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Ashur (Assyria, close confines of present day Iraq). When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.” (Isaiah 37:36)

THE ANSWER: If the USA - and this applies to Israel, also - will let the Holy Spirit be their banner, or standard, God will give victory. Any community, or country, or government who does NOT allow the Holy Spirit to be their banner will fall.

It is time to be militant in spiritual battle as well as in soul winning.

“They who go against sin and Satan . . . with the Holy Spirit at their head . . . are sure to win the day.” (Isaiah 59:19) (Kimchi: Adam Clarke’s commentary)
