War Warning
The first part of this article (dream and understanding) was given to me almost 2 years ago, but as with all prophecy, time is an important element and the timing of prophecy always and only is in the hands of the Most High. It was during prayer that the Lord brought this before my eyes, when I was reading from a book that I had written in with a word that He had given me. None of us will be able to stand before Him and say, ‘Why did You not speak to us?’ He is speaking always and through many, when and as He so chooses. His will be done in all things, for in all things shall He be glorified. †

A Dream
Suddenly, deep sounding and intense drums thundered throughout a land. There was an understanding that these were ‘war’ drums. Then, a great war cry sounded. Warriors, dressed as native Indians (*note – the Lord often relates to me this way), displaying war paint, each raised one arm in the air, which held a sword (quivers filled with arrows were upon their backs). They appeared ready and most eager to ‘go’.
I saw what appeared to be a war horse. It had a dark, muscular, sinewy neck. The nostrils were flared and the mouth was open, straining, intent and fierce. Out of its mouth sounded what can only be described as a ‘roar’. There was a sense again of eager anticipation and alertness.
I sensed that I was praying with great fervor, as the drums sounded once more. The intensity and expectation filled the earth. A voice (the Lord’s) roared, ‘WAR’ (Lion of Judah). I jumped up [awakened] and also felt both great intensity and reality. Selah ~
Understanding
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness and ungodliness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them. [Rom 1:18, 19]
Let’s not have hearts of iron or feet of clay. Let’s not have hardened hearts filled with fear and unbelief - (merciless, uncompassionate, unforgiving, lustful, cold) that do not let God’s love IN or does not allow His love in us to go out to others, or feet that will not go where He sends us. Let us have obedient, willing hearts that step and walk in His love, along the ever narrow path so that our fruit, which comes from abiding in the True Vine (Jesus my Yshua) is evident (seen).
Precious is the Blood of the Lamb that brings forth power, forgiving and reconciling us to our Creator, the Great Spirit Chief, Abba Father. †
Warning
War is coming upon the lands that have not seen war upon their soil for many moons. Surprisingly, many people including disciples of Christ, have wearied of hearing the warnings about what is soon upon our lands, and the end of this world as we know it.
They often would be ready and expectant, yet these things seem to tarry. Before long, we are caught up again in the affairs of this life, the busy-ness of life and the matters of the heart. When we feel like it (or when we are quiet for a moment or so), we may pray. What is the motive spurning the prayers on? How will you get sure direction if you do not sacrifice, coming untangled from the affairs of the world, in order to hear the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, the King of kings and Lord of lords?
We often wonder how all the people in Noah’s day could be so ignorant as to not be able to discern the time they were in and the Creator’s anger towards all the sin that abounded. Even if they chose to ignore Noah’s warnings and the building of the ark, which took so long (the exact length of time it took is not revealed in the Word of God), then why did they not at least get alone with God and pray when they saw that the ark was complete?
It is written that the ark was ready for a week before the first rain fell. But no, the people just carried on doing what they wanted to do; they had a ‘life’ to live and desires, wants, needs and dreams to fulfill. They wearied of hearing the warnings and watching the building of the ark.
They were convinced that old Noah and his kin had really lost touch with reality. Noah seemed like a holy man who was close to the Lord alright, but he must have definitely had a wire loose. After all, rain had never been seen before. In fact, rain had never even been heard of before. What was this madman (Noah) carrying on about? Poor disillusioned fool!
If you do not think that Noah was questioning God at times about his sanity or if he had understood him correctly, you may want to reconsider. You can well imagine the persecution, mocking, ridicule and disdain he received from those who did not see, hear or understand what the Creator had revealed.
I am sure that Noah was in a perpetual prayer mode. If you do not think that every demon and satan himself were not coming against Noah and his family, once again, you should reconsider. This was a real man living amongst real people in a world that had been overtaken with sin - lusts, greed, unbelief, perversions, sorcery, rebellion and corruptions of every sort.
It is guaranteed that Noah was in a spiritual battle from the start to finish. You can guarantee his faith was tested just as Abraham’s was, because Noah had to believe God in a matter that had never been seen or heard of before. You better believe WAR (spiritual warfare) was involved!
The things that were never seen or heard of before were two-fold. In the negative, the entire populace of the earth was wiped out along with everything else. In the positive, a total of eight believing, obedient people were saved alive because they believed God.
Fast-forward a few thousand years to today, and what do we see? We see sin abounding, lusts, greed, perversions, false signs and wonders, witchcraft, unbelief, rebellion and corruption of diverse kinds upon this land and in all nations upon the earth again.
We see even the disciples of Christ making excuses rather than walking holy, or compromising and procrastinating when they need to be obedient. I have been guilty of this myself and have turned around. We see hirelings and wolves in sheep’s clothing profiting as they deceptively teach and prophecy only the things that people will receive, (sugar-coated, whitewashed) corrupting the gospel of Christ Jesus.
Many believers are swept away like silly women following after every wind of doctrine, moved by emotionalism, lusts and false signs and wonders (oh, but they believe these are from ‘God’). They cannot discern between the presence of God and the presence of an unholy spirit, that appears as an angel of light that will come to satisfy the lusts of the flesh.
Why? Is it because they do not seek truth, or is it because they are not abiding (living) in the Vine? Cling like grapes to the Vine, friends, there is no other way.
Hey, God Understands
Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols [Eze 14:4]
They cannot discern between the signs of the ‘god’ of this world and the Most High God, our Creator, confusing signs and mixing them together with the Word of God, folklore and mystics. Before we get too defensive, we do well to remember our place with the following verse, from the Creator who knew the frailties of mankind:
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect [Mar 13:22]
The only way to avoid the ‘if’ (operative word, key word) and make sure we are not deceived is to spend time alone with the Father, our holy Creator, God and Jesus (Y'shua) King of kings and Lord of lords.
Just a few minutes won’t do, no, not even a couple of times a week will do. We know there is a cost and that cost will not be convenient because death to ‘self’ is required and death never is convenient. Yet, it is beyond and deeper... there are very real enemies of the cross, and they will hate us. We NEED the Father to direct our steps and to guide us.
Pride or Foolish Excuses (Justifications)?
We don’t even ask the Lord to order our day and our steps, yet we are confident that He will have us in the right place at the right time and protect us, when the times hit that Jesus (Yshua) forewarned of.
We go about our business thinking ‘God understands what I’m doing and why. He knows that I have places to go, people to see and things to do. He’s with me; I pray; I keep busy; I have a life to live before all the great trouble goes down. He’s for me, not against me.’
We convince ourselves that we are in His will - when we don’t even ask Him if we are or not. Some are not hearing His instructions, so they go by feelings or look for signs; some are trying to hurry up and enjoy some things first and few there are, when considering the global population, few there are that are willing to lay down all their pleasures, desires and life, crying out to Him in this late hour, repenting and desiring to do His perfect will.
A Humble, Lonely Walk
‘Here am I, Lord. Send me.’ We pray it, we say it, but do we hear Him? Do we really wait upon the Lord to hear Him? If He is silent, do you fear? Do you give up? Or do we just figure God 'hey, God knows my life and what I have to do. If He wants me to do something, I will do it. He just has to let me know.’
How? How will He let us know if we are not waiting upon Him, while our flesh squirms until we come to a place of humility and submission, aka dying to (denying) ‘self’?
Will we randomly open our bible, believing the words on the page IF they seem to ‘fit’ in our life at the moment, and if the words do not pertain to the precise moment in our lives, do we just leaf through the word until we find something that is better suited to our wants, needs and/or desires?
Do we ever get down prostrate or on bended knee, waiting and waiting until He speaks and until He leads us? If we cannot physically lie prostrate or bend our knees, do we bow our very heart before the majestic King of Glory? Pride will tell us that we do not have to bend our knees because 'God hears us anyway.' Yes, this is absolutely true, but truly, there are times that we must and should humble ourselves before a holy King and Creator. It's called 'protocol' - fear (reverence, respect, honor) of a HOLY KING†
The war is on in the spiritual realm. The mission? To keep the disciples of Jesus Christ (Yshua) so busy, so involved that God is more of a convenience (I will pray when I feel I should or when I have time), rather than obedience to the commandments to ‘wait on the Lord’ and ‘pray without ceasing’.
(Please don't let the religious tell you that 'praying without ceasing' is every single moment of every single day. That would be surreal, but we must get into the habit of constant communication, just as we would with a spouse or a family member you 'abide' (live) with). Selah
If we do not truly begin to walk holy (not impossible, despite popular belief) and obediently; if we do not daily make sure our armor is on, if we do not wait upon the Lord for instructions, then we can surely not expect to be where He wants us to be or be used to do the greater works that Jesus spoke of. The thief came not but to steal, kill and destroy [Jn 10:10]
There is a war that is constant for the believer, in the spiritual realm. However, soon war comes to the land and to places where war upon their soil has not been for a very long time. Below, I will repeat the exhortation written above, once more. War is coming!
Let’s not have hearts of iron or feet of clay. Let’s not have hardened hearts (merciless, uncompassionate, unforgiving, lustful, cold) that do not let God’s love IN or does not allow His love in us to go out to others, or feet that will not go where He sends us.
Let us have obedient, willing hearts that step and walk in His love, so that our fruit, which comes from abiding in the True Vine (Jesus my Yshua) is evident (seen).
Precious is the Blood of the Lamb that brings forth power, forgiving and reconciling us to our Creator, the Great Spirit Chief. † We must dedicate ourselves to the mission at hand, and battle the enemies of the cross. With the holy King leading and directing us, and our response to His commands being obedient faith, the banners that we wave will be waved in victory.
And Elijah came unto all the people and said, How long will ye halt between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow Him. And the people answered him not a word [1Ki 18:21]
War is coming upon the land. There is civilian unrest already. There are also enemies in the camp - and most assuredly, without the camp. Turn your hearts back to God in repentance and pray. Love mercy, do justly and walk humbly before Almighty God; truly let Him lead you.
War is coming upon our lands! Pray, repent, pray, be led by the Most High. Selah
