The Clash of the Kingdoms - Part 4

Clash of the Kingdoms – Part 4

January 25, 2012 – [01.25.2012] – 12:01 PM

On the final day of my four day fast, the Holy Spirit led me to pray against any curse that may have been put upon me through the ‘prayers’ of unholy people.  These may have been prayers of disobedient believers or those who said they are believers but were infiltrators, such as new agers, freemasons, witches or such as the shaman who prayed over me (you can read that story at the link below):  http://crossinthewilderness.blogspot.com/2011/09/this-is-not-competition-it-is-about.html

 

I also prayed this prayer for the friend who had seemingly turned against me and was saying unbelievably cruel things to me.  The enemy aligned himself with ‘flesh’ and spoke through my friend; of this, I am convinced, as the Lord led me to the scripture later about Y’shua/Jesus and Peter.

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savour not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.  [Mk 8:33]

I prayed this prayer for others also on the last day of the four day fast (none know I’ve prayed this for them, but God does).  The morning after I ended the four day fast, it seemed as if a great burden had lifted.  The testing was still not over.

Yet whether it was the spiritual warfare against the demons on those two nights that I dreamt of the vampire-like devils; whether it was the prayer to break the curse of any unholy prayers over myself, my friend or others or whether it was a combination of both, something had lifted!  Glory to God!

Forgiveness is Crucial

Even more interesting, my friend apologized with great sincerity.  That is the glory of God, who is faithful to His word and promises.  My friend could not even explain the full measure of the anger that was verbalized, but things are well between us, as though it never even transpired.

This is why we must love mercy and walk in love and forgiveness.  True friendship will weather the storms, when we seek God and trust Him to work things out.  My friend truly loves the Lord and serves Him; therefore, the Lord moved on behalf of both of us.  All glory to the Sovereign God!

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. [Mat 6:12] [Mat 6: 14, 15]

As I shared once before, the Lord showed me that with the same measure we forgive, so shall we be forgiven, and we all know that we, ourselves, have need of forgiveness, for all of us have messed up at times.  I know that I have.

Yet, the battle (test) was not yet over, but the intensity was greatly increased.  Due to the faithfulness of the Lord, the internet for January is paid (for another week anyways, but it is paid…thank You Lord!) and a little over half the rent is paid.  I have managed to get the gas company to allow more time to pay; however, the Lord will and has taken care of the rest.  

I speak it forth, for I trust the Lord. To me, the amazing thing about all this is the mercy of the Lord and the mercy that the landlord showed.  We can and must trust the Lord.  He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and still dresses the lilies of the valleys.

Reaping and Sowing

Some time ago, I had mentioned how I had worked as a ghostwriter for a man.  He pushed so hard for several small articles to be done per day and the pay was below minimum wage, but I was grateful for the work.  Over a two week period, I had worked 123 hours, writing about 100 articles. It is the research that takes the most time, not necessarily the writing, although writing takes time too.

A ghostwriter does not have their name attached to the work that he/she does.  The writer is hired to write anonymously, but the name of the one who hired you goes on the article. That is why it is called ‘ghost’ writing.  The writer remains unseen and unknown.

When it came time to pay, the man could not pay.  He is a believer, but frankly, he got in over his head.  I think he expected to make more than what he did. Even though I worked 123 hours in 2 weeks, I knew that I would only be paid for 80 hours.  I wanted the job, so I did not mind.

However, when I found out that he could not pay when he had promised, my flesh desired to write a very nasty letter in retaliation because I had completely exhausted myself in working those long hours.  

I endeavored to be diplomatic in my communications, as we both understood that we are followers of Christ, but I was making a stand for ‘my rights’.  After all, I had worked hard, even to the point of tears, due to exhaustion (incredibly long hours). 

Show Mercy

The man was sincerely sorry and corresponded with me with great humility.  He did not just disappear.  Yet, I still felt justified in my ‘righteous anger’, or so I had convinced myself.   As time kept passing without the settlement of my due wages, it came to me to be even bolder in my stand.  It was then that I clearly heard the Lord say to me, ‘Show mercy’.

Well, that put a pin in my balloon of flesh!  I knew it was the Lord.  My mind began to recall all the times that I myself needed to be shown mercy.  The Lord had humbled my pride (rightly so) with the memories of the times that He had shown me mercy, as well as the times that others had shown mercy towards me.  

I shared this story, not to look good, because you already know that initially I wanted to write a miserable, cranky ‘blah blah’ letter to the poor man who had been humiliated by his own short-sightedness.  As a believer, he must have needed mercy and the Lord granted it to him. 

No, I shared the story to show you that God is good.  He stands behind His word and His universal law of reaping and sowing.  The landlord and his wife are atheists and do not believe in God, let alone Jesus/Y’shua. 

Yet, when the landlord left on friendly, pleasant terms, even though the full rent was not paid, I immediately had to thank the Lord because the holy Spirit reminded me of this very incident, even though it was seven months ago. When we see the work of the Father manifested, we know that we know it was by His hand because we are His children.  

The Lord showed mercy to me (the same measure I showed the man who had hired me to write, as well as to my friend that the enemy spoke through).  It was a part of my training that I shall not forget.  Indeed, we simply cannot out-do God.  He is so faithful!  The Holy Spirit is an incredible teacher!  He does the work in us.

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.  [Lk 6:36]

Giving Thanks and Praise amidst the Battle (Storm)

Amidst the battle, or amidst the trials and testing, praise and thanksgiving did go up to the King, but not right away.  Foolish me!  I did get into thanksgiving, but the praise did not come immediately, as it seemed so important to pray and war. 

During the second fast and before I prayed against any unholy prayers spoken over me, I sang some to the Lord and I felt His presence.  I cannot pretend that it was easy because my flesh felt justified (and self-pitying) in its emotional turmoil and confusion.  The more I praised God, the more I was aware of His peace and presence.

Yet, the glory goes to Yhvh, our Lord God because it was by His holy Spirit that I was reminded that praise is the proper thing to do.  Many were the times that I had to subdue my flesh and many were the tears.  We are instructed in Isaiah 61 to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. 

God Inhabits the Praises

When Jehoshaphat feared because the Moabites, Ammonites, and a multitude on the side of Syria, rose up against Israel (Judah), Jehoshaphat proclaimed a fast and sought God to ask for help from the Lord.

And He (the Spirit of the Lord) said, Hearken ye (listen), all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.  [2 Chron 20:15]

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.  [2 Chron 20:17]

And when he (Jehoshaphat) had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for His mercy endures forever. [2Chron 20:21]

And as all the worshippers went out ahead of the army, singing and offering up praise to God, what did the Lord do?

And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten (overthrown by war, destroyed) [2 Chron 20: 22]

What about Saul who was tormented by an evil spirit?  How was Saul released for a time from that torment?  He was released through the praises that David offered up to the Lord God, as he played upon his harp.

But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.  And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.  [1 Sam 16:14, 23]

We have heard that God inhabits the praises of His people because it comes from Psalms.  David was suffering great duress and was not hearing God at the moment he cried out:   

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.  [Ps 22:1, 2]

Then, it seems that just like me, David was reminded of how to experience the very presence of God.  David went on to say:  But You are holy, O You that inhabits the praises of Israel.  [Ps 22:3]

In the Hebrew, ‘inhabitest’ (inhabits) means: ‘to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marry, endure, establish.  Wow!  To dwell and to remain, to settle and to marry, to endure and to establish ─ isn’t this what we all desire?  So, I began to make up my own songs, impromptu songs of praise to the Lord.

At times, I go to YouTube and play praise songs, but my attitude has become praise and thanksgiving.  I cannot tell you enough of His faithfulness; He lives!  He does inhabit (dwell in) the praises of Israel (His people) We are Israel in the spiritual because we are adopted; we are grafted in to the Vine, Y’shua/Jesus.  

For an interesting read about God inhabiting the praises of His people, see this gentleman’s blog: http://scriptureandlife.blogspot.com/2007/10/god-inhabits-praises-of-his-people.html

On a final note, remember: But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him.  [Jn 4:23]

About the Chemtrail Dream

In Part 3 of Clash of the Kingdoms, I shared a dream.  It is re-posted here to refresh the memory of those who read the last post, or for those who may be reading this for the first time.  I had written:

The night of the 15^th of January, I dreamt of chemtrails in a blue sky.  These chemtrails were like none I had ever seen before.  

In the dream, the chemtrails were shaped as a large circle.  Within the circle were 12 spokes, like a multi-spoked wheel.  Chemtrails are known to spread out, often forming odd-shaped cloud coverage.  The wheel’s spokes were beginning to do just that, so they were straight, but starting to become jagged in places.

Then a black puppy ran out towards traffic.  I was trying to catch it to save it.  A car came up, but the driver calmly stopped and waited while I grabbed the unhurt puppy, before slowly moving on.    

As I was returning to my house, a radio broadcast put out by the government was announcing to the people not to be alarmed at increased military activity in the homeland.  

The announcer urged people not to panic because the military were simply carrying out drills.  I saw two warships with a small tugboat sandwiched in-between them.  All sea vessels were in single file, but they seemed unwisely close together.  Then, aircraft appeared in the sky.  Two jets flew past, oddly low and incredibly fast.

“This is the real thing.  It is no drill.’  I commented to a neighboring woman.  She did not believe me.  ‘The government would announce it!’ she said curtly and went back into her house.  An abnormally large, triangular-shaped aircraft appeared.   

Somehow I knew that it was not friendly, although it was traveling slowly and seemingly nonaggressive.  Flashes of light were appearing sporadically everywhere in the distance, on the horizon.  War was on.  The government had not announced war in the broadcast, but had lied to the people.

_____________________________________

I will stop there (there was another small part that ended the dream, but I will leave that for later).  I went on to share some of the results of my research about the 12-spoked wheel, as the spokes began to spread out and become jagged. 

My research took me to the ‘Black Sun’, which is, according to an item on Wikipedia: the symbol of the innermost secret society of Nazi Germany: the Black Sun.  I supplied the link, but if you missed it, you can find here.

I also spoke about the German scientists (104) that were brought over to the United States after WWII.  If you have not read about it, you can read all about it here, in order to save time and space.

A sister in Christ from Singapore (a country in SE Asia close to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand) took the time to email me, which I am very grateful for.  Her interest had been peaked with the dream of the chemtrails with the 12 spokes that began to become jagged as they spread out.  The sky was blue.

She thought about the EU logo, which has 12 stars (she took the time to count them).  She also astutely noted the ‘blue’ background on the logo.  She was kind enough to provide a link, which you may look at here.

She shared more information and I quote her words: “The EU has appointed a new mid east envoy and coincidentally he is German and he is also an ambassador to Syria”…  This sister also shared about a forum where members spoke about relatives in the military who are on ‘high alert’ to possibly ‘deploy to Iran’.

This information (thank you R.T.) gave me more to take to the Lord, which I am doing.  The date of the 26^th of January was mentioned for the war and also about a rapture anywhere from the 26^th – 28^th of January on that particular forum.

I personally do not feel that these dates will bring either the war to American soil, or the rapture.  (I do not believe in a pre-trib rapture. Read Matthew 24 carefully, in what Jesus states about His return after great tribulation.
If this upsets anyone, I have to speak up still, out of love… because the Lord has given me peace about stating this.  I must urge all of us to continue to press in and seek first the kingdom of God and trust that He will speak to us as we do so.

There is no doubt in my mind that war is about to break out.  Countless feel this way, whether believer or not; however, we must pray.  I am also praying for the people in Chicago, Detroit, Maine, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island and the Canadian west coast, as well as the entire west coast area of the United States, down past Mexico, and to Central America...great trouble.

I truly believe that visions and dreams can be warnings.  If people are warned and repent, God could change the judgment as He did for Ninevah.  It was only when Ninevah returned to their wicked ways that the Lord sent judgment.

The dreams I had were vivid and disturbed me greatly.  How many times in the bible did the Lord change His mind about bringing judgment because His people prayed?  The Lord’s desire is still that people would come to repentance and be saved through Jesus/Y’shua.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance  [2 Pet 3: 9]

The Process of Preparation

The Lord has been preparing His people all along, yet the purification continues, for He will have a holy Bride.  We must be sanctified which (as I stated in: Part 1 of Clash of the Kingdoms):  Sanctified means set apart for sacred use; consecrated (2) to make holy; purify  It is the Holy Spirit that sanctifies us.

These trials and battles we go through are really for our sakes, but for His glory.  We must not give up, and I pray none of you grow discouraged!  These battles and trials strengthen us if we will see them through, and we can praise Him during it all. 

We can thank Him for this preparation (just as He prepared Moses, Joshua, Gideon, David and all our forerunners).  We must persevere and truly we must encourage and pray for one another to endure to the end.

Keep in mind that we have the greatest intercessor of all praying on our behalf.  The precious Holy Spirit intercedes for us; our King is our Advocate and truly He does pray for us.

Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  [Rom 8: 26, 27]

Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.  [Rom 8:34]

He will not leave or forsake us.  It is our choice if we will persevere or fall away.  May the Lord help us all to persevere through the trials and tribulations that come into our lives, to try our faith and to see if we love the Lord God with all our hearts, all our souls and all our mind (being). 

Let us repent of any uncleanness or unrighteousness, let us seek God for His will in our lives and obey all that He asks of us.  He is worthy!  Please be encouraged as you read because each fire seems to be more intense and longer lasting. 

So many of the brethren are in confusion and dire straits, weeping bitterly, as they go through very trying times, wondering if the Lord has left or forsaken them.  He has not.  Resist the devil and he must flee.  Anything he does, God allows but remember, what some intend for evil, God means for our good.

Remember Joseph?  He was hated and betrayed by his own brothers, sold as a slave (when his brothers decided not to kill him, after they threw him down into a deep pit), falsely accused by a woman with a Jezebel spirit who desired to commit adultery with him (she was married to Potiphar) and thrown in prison. 

Had God forsaken him?  No, it was all preparation to raise Joseph up to a high position so that he would be able to keep many alive in the famine that would come upon the lands.  His dream that he had twenty long years before came true and those very brothers who sold Joseph, when he was 17 years old, into slavery came and bowed before him.

 Joseph went through many emotions, 13 years of suffering, as stated in scripture, but in love, mercy and grace, what did he say to his brothers?

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.  
[Gen 50: 20]

For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are the called, according to His purpose.  [Rom 8:28]

Be encouraged, be strengthened.  He truly does see us through! My time of testing, my fire, has pretty much subsided.   The Lord alone helped me.  After five long weeks, it has subsided.  I will press on and press in, and I know that He will provide for me.  I speak it because I believe it.  He will help me.

A Word from the Lord

This was a long word from the Lord, but I wanted to share some of it with my brethren to encourage them.  Tomorrow, in Part 5 of the Clash of the Kingdoms, I will share it in its entirety.  Praise the Lord. O, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever.  [Ps 106:1]

I have bore with great patience and longsuffering with you, as you suffered, and have not delighted in the great grief upon you, yet some of the suffering has been due to procrastination on your part.  This delayed My hand, for I extended mercy.

The enemy tormented you and tore you as a lion who seeks to devour to satisfy his hunger.  Yea, but you were warned to “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” [1Pet 5:8]

I have used this trial for good, as a testing of your faith and to purge and purify you.  Now hear the word of your God:  Procrastinate no longer.  Do as I ask, so that all will go well with thee.

It is time, My Bride.  Keep a repentant heart and be holy, as I AM holy.

If you will continue on in obedience, a hot coal shall be placed upon your lips and you shall speak with boldness.  You shall be a pure, clean vessel unto honor and ye shall do the greater works, as Y’shua My Son decreed.  I shall lead you in the way that you should go and you shall do great exploits. 

War shall be upon this land within a year. Do not seek a date, but trust that as you cleave to Me, I shall direct you in all things.  This nation as a whole, will not repent.  Therefore, the enemies of this nation shall be allowed to ravage it for a season.   

This war will affect this nation’s allies and great shall be the sorrow and grief of the people.  This judgment is to bring people to repentance, to turn from their wicked ways.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  [2Pet 3:9]

Yea, but those who have overcome and continue to walk obediently shall be mighty instruments in My hand.  Multitudes, multitudes shall come into the valley of decision.  Yea, they shall flee, mourning upon the mountains for their iniquity.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.  [Ez 7: 16]

I shall bring forth deliverance, healing and restoration through the hands of My vessels unto honor.  I have begun revival, for it is beginning within My own people, as the fire of their trial and tribulation purges, and as the flood waters of their trials purified.

The waters of separation have purified and the fire has made My people clean.  They separated themselves unto Me and allowed My hand to guide them, as they walk by faith and not by sight.  They are washed and covered in the blood of the Lamb.

Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation:  and all that abides not the fire ye shall make go through the water. [Num 31:23]

Many false revivals have swept across the lands, yet these did not cause My people to repent.  Yea, instead they saw signs and wonders that satisfied the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.

Seducing spirits caused them to offer strange fire upon the altars of their hearts to idols and unclean, unholy spirits.  They acted as fools, giving glory to and following after man, rather than giving glory to and following after their King and Creator.

Yea, but those who sought truth heard the call to ‘come out from amongst them’ and deliverance, healing and restoration is and shall be the result.

Natural calamities shall manifest and come forth also, for My judgments go forth to yield yet more opportunities for the nations upon this earth to repent of their iniquities and idol worship, and return to their Creator.

For salvation is the reason that My Son Y’shua/ Jesus came, and the purpose of His life being offered up, shedding His precious blood as He hung upon the tree was to reconcile mankind to Me. 

And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [2 Cor 5:18]

Clash of the Kingdom – Part 5 will follow.  To be continued…

for His glory
