The Attack of Behemoth and Leviathan and the Judgments of God. By Robin Kirby-Gatto 5/25/11 Holy Spirit began showing me a few days ago that aother attack was coming against the church in which the enemy was warring with the saints of God. Holy Spirit had revealed weeks prior, at the beginning of the year the attack of Leviathan coming against the Church and during the midst of this attack the enemy kicked up several notches by the time of Passover this year and Holy Spirit said it would continue to increase 20 times more from the attack of the enemy. I began thinking to myself how could the attack get much stronger and God began showing me that Jezebel and Python had began working intermingling and intermittently with Leviathan to keep the saints besieged on every side. However, this past week another devil stepped in with Leviathan to work against the saints. This other devil is called Behemoth. It is in Job 40 and works cooperatively with Leviathan, moreover, according to the Jewish roots and the book of Enoch, Leviathan and Behemoth are one in the same divided into two. Prior to this attack I informed my husband, Rich, that God wanted me to reread Enoch, which he gave me as a Christmas present this past Christmas. Moreover, I received a private message from a friend of mine on facebook and she had clips of the Behemoth spirit and mentioned that John Eckert had a book on the demon. I have not read the book or looked at the clips but have been led of Holy Spirit to engage God for the interpretation of this attack against the saints. This attack is all pointing towards the coming move of God’s Holy Spirit this Pentecost. God showed me that 2011 was going to be the year of walking in God’s promises and God’s glory and had me preach on it New Years eve 2010 crossing over into 2011. As the New Year, 2011 continued Holy Spirit began showing me that the enemy saw the coming move of God’s outpouring and the incoming harvest and would attack the saints in order to come against the anointing of Jesus Christ in us. At the same time Holy Spirit also showed me a fire from God being released by His Holy Spirit to the saints to infuse us and purge us of anything not of God, and prepare us for more of God’s coming fire! Therefore, many things began to manifest unto me by Holy Spirit this past week because of my legal background; God pulled me through law school, where I received my juris doctorate in 2008. Because of my background in law Holy Spirit unveils dimensions of God to me through my gifting of law and the Word. Holy Spirit revealed to me that God is a God of Covenant. As a God of covenant there are processes which have to be carried out in order for the fulfillment of the covenant to manifest in the earth realm. God says in His Word that He works ALL THINGS to our good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes (Romans 8:28). In order to work things to our good and bring us forth as sons and daughters of the Living God, a process to bring forth the manifestation of the covenant into the earth realm has to be implemented. God showed me through His Word and studies in The Book of Enoch and Jewish studies that His covenant comes forth when the enemy attacks God’s people and His Name Jealous ( Exodus 34:14) would cause Him to step into action and bring forth His covenant by His mighty right arm. Anytime you see God’s right arm in His Word, you usually see the word Justice or God bringing justice to His people. Justice in Hebrew means the righteousness of God. Justice also means to prosper the poor, to bring God’s equity, God’s deliverance to those who are poor in spirit. BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! The whole purpose of any attack of the enemy that comes forth is to manifest more of God, more of Heaven, into the earth realm through God’s sons and daughters that as it is in Heaven it will also be in earth! It is God’s covenant with His people that He would bring us into acceleration into God’s promises!! What the enemy means for our harm is actually accelerating us into our destiny. I am reminded of by Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:8 how the rulers of the age could not understand the mysteries of God, of Christ Jesus, for if they would have understood the mysteries they would have never crucified the King of Glory! Likewise, the demonic rulers of this age cannot understand or fathom the power of God that is poured out and will be poured out upon us, for if they (demonic spirits) did, they would not be attacking us; their attacks are working to our good, not our detriment. Leviathan has attacked the Body of Christ through a seven fold measure operating through the main foothold of satan, which is PRIDE. A note has been posted as to the operation of Leviathan through PRIDE. Proverbs 6:16-19 (seven abominations that God hates) 1) A proud look (2) A lying tongue (3) Hands that shed innocent blood (4) A heart that devises wicked plans (5) Feet that are swift in running to evil (6) A false witness who speaks lies (7) One who sows discord among brethren However, along with Leviathan is the Behemoth spirit that attacks the body of Christ. In The Book of Enoch, a vision was given to Enoch that encompassed an attack that was two fold by Leviathan and Behemoth. Therefore, when Leviathan is attacking, generally you can expect an attack from Behemoth as well. Behemoth is mentioned in the book of Job (Job 40:15-24). Behemoth has an attack that goes along with Leviathan, whereas Leviathan is the sea monster, Behemoth is the desert (land) monster spoken of in the book of Job. It was believed by Jews that God had slain these two monsters early so that they would not reproduce in the earth, bringing great destruction. 15 “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox. 16 See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles. 17 He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. 18 His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron. 19 He is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword. 20 Surely the mountains yield food for him, And all the beasts of the field play there. 21 He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh. 22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows by the brook surround him.23 Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed; He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth, 24 Though he takes it in his eyes, Or one pierces his nose with a snare. This creature, the Behemoth is described to have been created along with man, as denoted in the Word (Job 40:15). However, there is a great depiction of the creature by God that it is to capture our attention at the details of this animal’s strength. It is through the depiction of the animal in which we can see how the attack of satan comes at us like that of a Behemoth, making us feel as though we are storm tossed. Likewise, Job’s trials and tribulation that he walked through were indirectly identified through the depiction given by God in the word of Job. As we see God give the depiction of the horse in Job 39:19-25 we see God describing a warrior that is broken for Him and will only do what he is instructed to do by his master, which is simply to obey, and the horse does it with a fire in his belly to go forth into war without considering his own life. We likewise, overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and our testimony, not loving our life unto death. Therefore, Job, through his brokenness by the testing and tribulation he was enduring was becoming broken for the Lord. Job was being mold into one who would go into his destiny without thought for his own life, only to do that which he was told to do by God. Now, in consideration we see God describing Behemoth. It is this depiction that describes the trial in which Job himself is enduring. In Job 40:16 God describes Behemoths strengths being in his hips (his loins) it is this depiction that identifies that Job is being attacked in the TRUTH! The belt of truth in Ephesians 6: 14 girded your waist (hips) with truth. Therefore, the attack of Behemoth is going to come very much like that of which Jesus experienced in the wilderness “If you are the Son of God?” 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘ He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘ In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God. These men tormenting Job are described early on in chapter 30. 1 “But now they mock at me, men younger than I, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock. 2 Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished. 3 They are gaunt from want and famine, Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste, 4 Who pluck mallow by the bushes, And broom tree roots for their food.5 They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief. 6 They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks.7 Among the bushes they brayed, Under the nettles they nestled. 8 They were sons of fools, Yes, sons of vile men; They were scourged from the land. 9 “And now I am their taunting song; Yes, I am their byword.” Job 30: 1-9 NKJV. Those that were not even considered of good state and reputation became those who began to mock Job. Remember, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and rulers in the heavenly realm. Therefore, the attack coming through Behemoth will be one that operates through a mocking spirit as seen in Job 30. However, it will not necessarily come from those who are considered foolish. The enemy has to have a foothold in others in order to operate through them. Therefore, the foothold the enemy uses is when others begin to disdain you and being foolish enough to look at their own righteousness and out of their own righteousness which is as filthy rags begin to judge you with impure motives, openly disdaining you, mocking you, treating you with shame and doing it in a manner that is covert. We see the covert operations of Behemoth in Job 40:21 21 He lies under the lotus trees, In a covert of reeds and marsh. This covert operation of the enemy through Behemoth attacks you by being covered up, hidden, among the very place you walk, the place where you are to be at peace, the Church. (I am not speaking about your personal church here. What I am speaking of is the Church in general where the enemy is close enough in proximity to you that he begins to attack you through others who are self-righteous). The foothold or hook whereby the spirit of Behemoth attacks others is through self-righteousness. They are puffed up with so much self-righteousness indicated by the “girding of the loins/hips” and where it describes his strength being in his belly, his stomach, it is through those who have eaten the word of God but through their own self-righteousness begin to throw it against another or inappropriately apply the word through wrong motives of judgment and pride. What is so sad is that the very people that operate in this believe that it is everyone else but them. They do not look at their own failures and lack of righteousness but truly believe they walk in the righteousness of Christ Jesus, not seeing that their motives are impure and heart is deceitful above all. The do not judge themselves but instead judge everyone else and this is easily identifiable because they gather together to gossip and slander those who they judge. Moreover, the fact that in Job the mocking spirit even spits in the face of Job indicates that the self-righteousness of others allowing this spirit to operate moves from being covert, hidden to being brought out in the open. I myself have experienced this beyond measure on many levels. However, the testing or purification for this process that is being allowed is ultimately to bring me void and empty of any self-righteousness whereby I would not judge with righteous judgments (Isaiah 11:1-4) others that are going to come into the Kingdom. It is to purify my judgments, my motives so that I do nothing except for what the Father, God, tells me to do. My motive to do so will not be in proving who I am, but rather demonstrating Christ in me the Hope of Glory! In Job 40:20 the word identifies that the mountains yield food for Behemoth. Therefore, this indicates that the way in which this spirit can operate is through those who are higher in the things of God but even in their maturing in the Lord there is a demonstration of immaturity because instead their acts of disdain and attacking another in the house of God is operating based out of their own self-righteousness. The Pharisees demonstrated this very well in their attacks against Jesus. This same test that we endure of the Behemoth operating through others who walk in a religious spirit, in self-righteousness is to detour us from our destiny our call. This is seen in Luke 13:31-33. 31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” 32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! The Pharisees were trying to detour Jesus by bringing a negative report against Him, a mocking spirit that would operate through them to mock Him and bring a bad report against His ministry, His call. Jesus responded to the Pharisee by first of all calling him a fox, which indicates cunning, slyness and trickery. Moreover, the fact that the Pharisee was telling Jesus to leave is an indication of the open display of the enemy to try and uproot you and move you out of a ministry an area so that you will not walk in the call of God or fulfill God’s destiny in your life. Jesus replied to the report with identifying the fruit that He was manifesting in God, demons being cast out, people healed and that He would continue to walk in the call, in His destiny! The enemy will come to you in a sly manner, a cunning manner, stating that you need to leave the area mocking you and the work of God that you are doing. However, it is by our fruit, the demonstration of the righteousness of Christ Jesus, not our own righteousness that identifies how our ministry is proven by God and not man. If you look to man to approve you then you are looking to the wrong person. You are only to look to God to qualify you, approve you and send you. Therefore, when you get hit by Behemoth you will be mocked by others in the church saying leave, we don’t want you around us, kicking you out of their group because you make them uncomfortable while they sit in their own righteousness their righteous works and they mock you from the point of their own righteousness, spitting in your face, showing no love. Then you have to stand only in God, belted with the belt of truth, knowing God’s word. He that began a good work in you will complete it! God has made you a Royal Priesthood a Holy Nation! You are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath! God has a plan to prosper you to give you a hope and a future! God has made you the righteousness of Christ Jesus! God has given you the mind of Christ Jesus! The Word!!! You cannot live by substance that is not of God only the Word, the substance that we eat and partake of to fight this battle in the wilderness.” The devil was getting Jesus to a point to demonstrate and prove that He was the Son of God by turning stones into bread and then throwing himself down so that the angelic host would pick him up. Jesus responded first that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Moreover, in the next temptation Jesus states “you shall not tempt the Lord your God.” Therefore, Jesus is demonstrating that He only does what the Father tells Him to do and He does not bring forth His own sustenance whereby He is sustained. The Behemoth having his strength in the loins is indicating a testing of the Body of Christ in the truth and knowing the truth. Therefore, this attack is going to come against “God’s Word” in you. Similar to the temptation of turning stones into bread, satan is looking for us to defend our ministry by the operation of God’s gifts by His Holy Spirit in our lives, it’s as though satan is wanting us to prove our credibility. However, the way in which you overcome this attack is only by living in the Word as we see Jesus tell satan, that man does not live by bread alone but by the very Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. This temptation comes against us at the time when we are hungry for a Word, for an outward demonstration that God is moving in our lives so that we have proof that God is manifesting His goodness and approval of us. However, when you are going through this attack this is one that will make you feel as though you are in a desert place and it appears that you are not being proven or to many people bearing fruit in the call of God on your life. Therefore, it tests your knowing the call! Many times this attack hits me by stating “Did God tell you to do ministry? Are you sure God is going to come through for you in doing this or that?” It is a TRUTH test to test the TRUTH, God’s Word, in you! Here you have to be girded (in Greek meaning to pierce through and all over) with the truth, the Word, knowing God is not a man that He would tell a lie. Job went through this trial with his friends when they questioned the fact that Job was experiencing so many trials and tribulations that how could it be that God was blessing him since Job looked cursed. However, remember Job’s friends stopped answering Job because to Job he appeared righteous in his own eyes. Therefore, all the trials and tribulations Job went through was to demonstrate his righteousness was as filthy rags and that it was own God’s righteousness that was pure and Holy. Job first describes in Job 29 how he is honored among all and blessed by man and treated as a hero. However, it is in Job 30 that he identifies the treatment to which he gets after it appears as though he is cursed of God. He describes himself in Job 30 being the disdain of all and coming to the point to where others are spitting in his face. 9 “And now I am their taunting song; Yes, I am their byword. 10 They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face. 11 Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off restraint before me. 12 At my right hand the rabble arises; They push away my feet, And they raise against me their ways of destruction. 13 They break up my path, They promote my calamity; They have no helper. 14 They come as broad breakers; Under the ruinous storm they roll along. 15 Terrors are turned upon me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed like a cloud. Job 30:9-15 NKJV. This is the attack of Behemoth that we see Job going through in Job 30. Here in Job 30 He is disdained and abhorred by others. Moreover, it is not a private issue but done as a demonstration in the face, public display, with Job being mocked (The mocking spirit truly operates through the attack of Behemoth, mocking you while you are doing ministry and mocking you as you are going toward the call of God on your life). Job even goes on to state that others are promoting, glorifying the calamitous state Job finds himself in. Job is terrorized by his own demise, his own circumstances which is obvious to all those around him and there is no honor but only shame. The attack of Behemoth is similar. It is likened to that of Job 30. To be continued in Part II……… Copyright 2011. (You can print and reproduce with the author’s name attached to the work). .

Part III of GOD’S PREPARATION FOR THE GLORY, THE FIRE WITHIN

AND THE FIERY DARTS WITHOUT BY ROBIN KIRBY-GATTO

April 15, 2011

When the enemy comes in like a flood where he sends the assignment of python against you cooperating with the spirit of Jezebel which ends up opening up the door to Leviathan then you have to enter the stronghold of God. I remember a dream that is in my first book “The Glory to Glory Sisterhood” was all around an attack that I would have an attack of Leviathan hit me. Remember, Leviathan is a culmination of a brood of vipers that are cooperating with satan’s plan to come against the anointing of Christ in you the hope of GLORY! Glory is the copiousness of God, it is all of Who God is, His Names, His Characters, His Attributes, His Fullness! Therefore God wants this Glory, Himself, to be manifested in you as it was made visible in His Son, God the Son, Jesus Christ! In the section on “Pride” in my book “THE GLORY TO GLORY SISTERHOOD” a dream that I had in 2006 consisted of having Mr. and Mrs. Pride in it. God was warning me I was about to go through an attack of a brood of vipers leading to such magnitude that it would be Leviathan I would be attacking me. Here is the dream from the book on page 89.

“For example, in 2006 I received a dream from the Lord where I was going to go through great persecution from other Christians. In the dream the people were very tall. I was walking around and heard them all clamoring to talk with a specific couple, Mr. and Mrs. Pride. Then we all went into a larger room to listen to a well known teacher of the Word of God. In this room I sat by another lady whom I had known years earlier somewhere else. This lady had been treated as an outcast by her church because her husband had cheated on her and left. While I was sitting by this lady, a partition came down between me and all of the tall people who were sitting by Mr. and Mrs. Pride, and I was no longer able to be a part of them. After that, a lady in the dream came up to me and said that I had two demons on me and I told her I did not. Then I walked away dejected in the dream for a long walk and eventually came back to tell her I did not have two demons on me. She apologized to me, said she knew and was sorry, and the dream was over.” It was during this time after I had the dream that I even repented for having the dream after I told my husband Rich because he couldn’t believe I had the dream too. However, within a matter of two weeks the occurrences started happening as I had dreamt and I had to endure a 2 year at the minimum but truly lasting up to 3 years of being rejected, persecuted, thought to be doing the work of satan, and discredited. However, simultaneously God worked in me like He did Joseph who was misunderstood by His brothers. It was not about me it was about the SEED!!! The seed of CHRIST IN ME THE HOPE OF GLORY!!!! God was turning this around to my good because I love Him and I am called according to His purpose!

In order to bring me higher God allowed me to go through a greater FIRE! A fire within and fiery darts without! The fire of God began to purge and consecrate me in greater measure for the CALL!!! Many are called and few are chosen! Not many are willing to go through the test of being hit by Leviathan to expose the pride that is present in others and even within ourselves in order to allow more room for God’s Glory to be poured into our lives! It is the very thing the enemy thinks he is going to crush us with that becomes our launch pad, our acceleration, our elevation by God Himself! God promotes and elevates those who are low, who are humble and contrite. When we get hit by a hit of Leviathan and to everyone else that is in agreement with the enemy and the iniquity is in their heart where they have not the love of Christ then it will suck them in, in THEIR OWN PRIDE, to believe that what they are doing is TRULY the WORK of GOD when it is not God at all but it is satan that has them deceived they are doing the work of God. Moreover, to everyone in this web of deceit they are given over so much to the delusion and believe it to be real that they are “protecting” the system from the danger, the threat, which is the anointed vessel of God going through the attack. Even the righteous indignation that Jesus presented in the temple when He went in with the whip among people given over to this deceit will justify their action and they will say “see I told you she had Jezebel; I told you he had pride.” When in real fact it was the humility of Jesus that also was bold to get the whip and chase out the devil! Therefore, when righteous indignation rises up in a vessel of God to expose the system because the system has been hissing and biting them, it actually looks like the vessel of God is in rebellion. Lolololol. That is too funny but that is how satan works! He makes those who are deceived believe they are doing the work of God and point fingers at the vessel that has interrupted the system of pride, religion, mammon, control and manipulation. When we are going through this type of attack where satan is using our brothers and sisters in Christ (I’m talking about the church in general) we do not want to be a part of the Civil War Leviathan has raging and turn on each other but instead God’s banner over us is LOVE! It is all about God’s Love because that is how faith operates! Faith operates by way of LOVE! Therefore, if satan can get us to be offended with those attacking us then he can affect our love tank and stop the flow of the anointing. It is ALL ABOUT GOD ALL THE TIME, every attack, every test and tribulation is about God, Christ in us the Hope of Glory being manifested in the earth.

Therefore, the greater end is for God’s Holy Spirit to pull us toward the position of Love, the place of Love, where we choose not to war, because if we do it will mean that we will be fighting our own brother or own sister, the spirits in them and since they are consumed with it any truth we might offer in love will actually make the situation worse. This is why we enter GOD!!! We enter Psalm 91! The first four verses describe the protection of entering the stronghold.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:1-4

The next verses in Psalm 91, verses 5-8 describe the outcome of those who do not enter love, God, but instead continue to operate in pride.

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. Psalm 91:5-8.

The last verses of Psalm 91 describe the victory of those who are in the stronghold of God.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91:9-16 Amp.

We that enter the stronghold of God are protected from the fiery arrows of the enemy, we are set free from the oppressor and the destruction of the attack of Leviathan that started out as Jezebel then co-labored with python to bring about an attack of Leviathan where we feel as though we are crushed. However, God knows how much we can bare and will not allow us to go past a point whereby we are crushed. We have instead chosen to throw ourselves on the rock to be broken! King David describes very well in the Psalms (Psalm 55-59) his attack of being hit by a brood of vipers and Leviathan and the operation of it through others. We will look at these verses and then come back to what God wants us to realize! WE come back to GOD!!! To God’s GLORY!!!! GOD’S GLORY IS LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After the Psalms read with me further.

Psalm 56 Amp

1BE MERCIFUL and gracious to me, O God, for man would trample me or devour me; all the day long the adversary oppresses me. 2They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up or trample me all day long, for they are many who fight against me, O Most High! 3What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You. 4By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me? 5All day long they twist my words and trouble my affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil and my hurt. 6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, even as they have [expectantly] waited for my life. 7They think to escape with iniquity, and shall they? In Your indignation bring down the peoples, O God. 8You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle--are they not in Your book? 9Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I cry out; this I know, for God is for me. 10In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise, 11In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 12Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render praise to You and give You thank offerings. 13For You have delivered my life from death, yes, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life and of the living.

Psalm 55 Amp

1LISTEN TO my prayer, O God, and hide not Yourself from my supplication! 2Attend to me and answer me; I am restless and distraught in my complaint and must moan 3[And I am distracted] at the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression and threats of the wicked; for they would cast trouble upon me, and in wrath they persecute me. 4My heart is grievously pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. 5Fear and trembling have come upon me; horror and fright have overwhelmed me. 6And I say, Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. 7Yes, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 8I would hasten to escape and to find a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest. 9Destroy [their schemes], O Lord, confuse their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 10Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in its midst. 11Violence and ruin are within it; fraud and guile do not depart from its streets and marketplaces. 12For it is not an enemy who reproaches and taunts me--then I might bear it; nor is it one who has hated me who insolently vaunts himself against me--then I might hide from him. 13But it was you, a man my equal, my companion and my familiar friend. 14We had sweet fellowship together and used to walk to the house of God in company. 15Let desolations and death come suddenly upon them; let them go down alive to Sheol (the place of the dead), for evils are in their habitations, in their hearts, and their inmost part. 16As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me. 17Evening and morning and at noon will I utter my complaint and moan and sigh, and He will hear my voice. 18He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me [so that none came near me], for they were many who strove with me. 19God will hear and humble them, even He Who abides of old--Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!--because in them there has been no change [of heart], and they do not fear, revere, and worship God. 20[My companion] has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken and profaned his agreement [of friendship and loyalty]. 21The words of his mouth were smoother than cream or butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. 22Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). 23But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in, lean on, and confidently rely on You.

Psalm 57

1BE MERCIFUL and gracious to me, O God, be merciful and gracious to me, for my soul takes refuge and finds shelter and confidence in You; yes, in the shadow of Your wings will I take refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed. 2I will cry to God Most High, Who performs on my behalf and rewards me [Who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them]! 3He will send from heaven and save me from the slanders and reproaches of him who would trample me down or swallow me up, and He will put him to shame. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! God will send forth His mercy and loving-kindness and His truth and faithfulness. 4My life is among lions; I must lie among those who are aflame--the sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows, their tongues sharp swords. 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let Your glory be over all the earth! 6They set a net for my steps; my very life was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way; into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing and make melody. 8Awake, my glory (my inner self); awake, harp and lyre! I will awake right early [I will awaken the dawn]! 9I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations. 10For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great, reaching to the heavens, and Your truth and faithfulness to the clouds. 11Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be over all the earth.

Psalm 58

1DO YOU indeed in silence speak righteousness, O you mighty ones? [Or is the righteousness, rightness, and justice you should speak quite dumb?] Do you judge fairly and uprightly, O you sons of men? 2No, in your heart you devise wickedness; you deal out in the land the violence of your hands. 3The ungodly are perverse and estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. 4Their poison is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf adder or asp that stops its ear, 5Which listens not to the voice of charmers or of the enchanter never casting spells so cunningly. 6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouths; break out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord. 7Let them melt away as water which runs on apace; when he aims his arrows, let them be as if they were headless or split apart. 8Let them be as a snail dissolving slime as it passes on or as a festering sore which wastes away, like [the child to which] a woman gives untimely birth that has not seen the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the thorns [that are placed under them for fuel], He will take them away as with a whirlwind, the green and the burning ones alike. 10The [unyieldingly] righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11Men will say, Surely there is a reward for the [uncompromisingly] righteous; surely there is a God Who judges on the earth.

Psalm 59

1DELIVER ME from my enemies, O my God; defend and protect me from those who rise up against me. 2Deliver me from and lift me above those who work evil and save me from bloodthirsty men. 3For, behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce and mighty men are banding together against me, not for my transgression nor for any sin of mine, O Lord. 4They run and prepare themselves, though there is no fault in me; rouse Yourself [O Lord] to meet and help me, and see! 5You, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations; spare none and be not merciful to any who treacherously plot evil. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 6They return at evening, they howl and snarl like dogs, and go [prowling] about the city. 7Behold, they belch out [insults] with their mouths; swords [of sarcasm, ridicule, slander, and lies] are in their lips, for who, they think, hears us? 8But You, O Lord, will laugh at them [in scorn]; You will hold all the nations in derision. 9O my Strength, I will watch and give heed to You and sing praises; for God is my Defense (my Protector and High Tower). 10My God in His mercy and steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look [triumphantly] on my enemies (those who lie in wait for me). 11Slay them not, lest my people forget; scatter them by Your power and make them wander to and fro, and bring them down, O Lord our Shield! 12For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them even be trapped and taken in their pride, and for the cursing and lying which they utter. 13Consume them in wrath, consume them so that they shall be no more; and let them know unto the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob (Israel). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 14And at evening let them return; let them howl and snarl like dogs, and go prowling about the city. 15Let them wander up and down for food and tarry all night if they are not satisfied (not getting their fill). 16But I will sing of Your mighty strength and power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy and loving-kindness in the morning; for You have been to me a defense (a fortress and a high tower) and a refuge in the day of my distress. 17Unto You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my Defense, my Fortress, and High Tower, the God Who shows me mercy and steadfast love.

It is in the place of being misunderstood, of the anointing of Christ in you the hope of glory being rejected, persecuted, despised that we are promoted to the place of glory we were always meant for which is Galatians 2:20!!! It is no longer I that live but Christ in me!!! We have come to a place of realization that Christ fought the battle with LOVE! Christ is the stronghold! Isaiah 59 describes appropriately how one goes through this attack of walking through this great persecution, pit of vipers and shows where God is Lord of the battle and the vipers are lured into their own trap and we come out in victory! The ultimate end is because of LOVE, because of the COVENANT! God brings us forth from Psalm 91 protection once we have passed the test of entering the stronghold of God in the midst of the attack and not being part of the civil war satan would bring about in the church. We come into Psalm 92:10 anointing where “God has exalted our horn like a wild ox and given us the NEW ANOINTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” GLORY TO GOD!!!!! IT IS THE VERY ATTACK THAT BRING US INTO AN INCREASED ANOINTING A NEW ANOINTING!!!!!

Isaiah 59

1BEHOLD, THE Lord's hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save, nor His ear dull with deafness, that it cannot hear. 2But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. 3For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness. 4None sues or calls in righteousness [but for the sake of doing injury to others--to take some undue advantage]; no one goes to law honestly and pleads [his case] in truth; they trust in emptiness, worthlessness and futility, and speaking lies! They conceive mischief and bring forth evil! 5They hatch adders' eggs and weave the spider's web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and [from an egg] which is crushed a viper breaks out [for their nature is ruinous, deadly, evil]. 6Their webs will not serve as clothing, nor will they cover themselves with what they make; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. 7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths and highways. 8The way of peace they know not, and there is no justice or right in their goings. They have made them into crooked paths; whoever goes in them does not know peace.9Therefore are justice and right far from us, and righteousness and salvation do not overtake us. We expectantly wait for light, but [only] see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity and gloom. 10We grope for the wall like the blind, yes, we grope like those who have no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the twilight; in dark places and among those who are full of life and vigor, we are as dead men. 11We all groan and growl like bears and moan plaintively like doves. We look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us. 12For our transgressions are multiplied before You [O Lord], and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know and recognize them [as]: 13Rebelling against and denying the Lord, turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving in and muttering and moaning from the heart words of falsehood. 14Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street (the city's forum), and uprightness cannot enter [the courts of justice]. 15Yes, truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. 16And He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor [no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right]; therefore His own arm brought Him victory, and His own righteousness [having the Spirit without measure] sustained Him.

17For [the Lord] put on righteousness as a breastplate or coat of mail, and salvation as a helmet upon His head; He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal [and furious divine jealousy] as a cloak. 18According as their deeds deserve, so will He repay wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; on the foreign islands and coastlands He will make compensation. 19So [as the result of the Messiah's intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]. 20He shall come as a Redeemer to Zion and to those in Jacob (Israel) who turn from transgression, says the Lord. 21As for Me, this is My covenant or league with them, says the Lord: My Spirit, Who is upon you [and Who writes the law of God inwardly on the heart], and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your [true, spiritual] children, or out of the mouths of your children's children, says the Lord, from henceforth and forever.

Immediately following Isaiah 59 is Isaiah 60:1!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ATTACK THAT SATAN MEANT FOR OUR DESTRUCTION FOR OUR HARM IS THE ATTACK THAT BRINGS IN GOD’S GLORY!!!! IMMEDIATELY AFTER AN ATTACK OF THIS MAGNITUDE WITH LEVIATHAN WE ENTER INTO

ISAIAH 60:1

1ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! Isaiah 60:1 AMP.

Welcome to promotion, more glory, more of God’s Goodness!!!! Recently the dream that I had demonstrated a series of events that were to happen, which have already began to play out. However, the end of the dream was this: I stood in front of a mirror after a series of persecuting events were to take place. When I stood in front of the mirror and a friend of mine was there with me who resembled the Holy Spirit and a new anointing, that of the tribe of Dan. When I walked to the mirror and I looked into the mirror it was 2 Corinthians 3:18, that as we look with unveiled faces in a mirror we are being transformed into the image of Christ Jesus from Glory to Glory! Therefore, when I looked into the mirror the Holy Spirit said receive the FULLNESS OF MY POWER! Then I felt the power of God infuse me leaving me wrecked! Moreover, God told me that this particular friend of mine represented the anointing of the Tribe of Dan. I looked up the promise spoken over the Tribe of Dan and here it is:

16Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.17Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a horned snake in the path, that bites at the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward. 18I wait for Your salvation, O Lord. Genesis 49:16-18 AMP.

16 “Dan will provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.

17 Dan will be a snake by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward. 18 “I look for your deliverance, LORD. Genesis 49:16-18 NIV.

Dan was anointed as judge of Israel, Judge of God’s people. When you pass this test God can trust you to judge correctly not by your eyes but with righteous judgments and you can operate in a greater anointing for deliverance and the prophetic!!! Moreover, it says of Dan that he shall be like a serpent by the way, a horned snake in the path. Here I am reminded of Jesus when He said in Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves.” The root word to serpent here means to “diligently observe.” Dan diligently observes with justice and righteousness and provides God’s justice! That is what the enemy is after God’s love and justice in the earth to stop the flow of God’s power! It is those who have been through the test whereby they have been hit on every end by the attack of python turned into Leviathan where you are attacked on every end that when you enter the stronghold of God, Psalm 91, you enter into LOVE and God himself takes the battle on to bring victory, to bring you forth into the image of Christ Jesus from Glory to Glory!!!!
