OVERCOMING ANXIETY AND DESTROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL PART 2 ABOUT ANXIETY! By Robin Kirby-Gatto 6/4/13 NOTE 1 HERE: https://www.facebook.com/notes/robin-kirby-gatto/the-revealing-and-restraining-of-doeg-be-anxious-for-nothing-by-robin-kirby-gatt/10151445617475869 8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. 1 John 3:8 JESUS CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL! THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD HAS ALL AUTHORITY TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL! We saw in the last note how David had made the weapon (sword of Goliath) which brought him victory over his last battle with Goliath, cutting the enemy’s head off, became a trophy for David’s now present attack of the enemy causing him to run into the enemy’s camp looking like a madman that had lost his mind. We know that in the end there is victory therefore let us press in to see the victory of God Almighty over anxiety! So David departed and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. 2 And everyone in distress or in debt or discontented gathered to him, and he became a commander over them. And there were with him about 400 men. 3 And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father [of Moabite descent] and my mother, I pray you, come out [of Judah] and be with you till I know what God will do for me. 4 And he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold [in Moab]. 5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, Do not remain in the stronghold; leave, and get into the land of Judah. So David left and went into the forest of Hareth. 1 Samuel 22:1-5 David leaves from the place of being a madman in front of the Philistines where anxiety had gotten a hold of him causing him to look foolish and escapes to Adullam. Adullam means “sealed off place.” (http://www.studylight.org/dic/hbd/view.cgi?number=T139) The sealed off place is the stronghold of GOD; He is our Shield and our Defense! When David’s brothers and his father’s house heard about David, they gathered to him because of their distress and discontent!!! Do you see this; there is a transition with David. No longer is DavId going to settle and let anxiety rule him, but rather he is going to confront it. Moreover, his brothers see that he has already got the victory in his heart! As a result, they join to him and at this point David is REPRODUCING, BEARING FRUIT OF GOD’S WORD not only in his life but the lives of others!!!!! Likewise, when we begin to reproduce the fruit of God’s Word in power and are anxious for nothing, it then gives courage to others to stand their ground, being discontent with the distress of the enemy, the lies of the enemy against their soul from their past accusing them – the accuser of the brethren (symbolized by debt)! Do you see this? Anxiety has been conquered already in David’s heart at this point but now we have to see the manifestation of it! The 400 that were gathered to David indicates God’s fullness of authority being manifested! (4 x 100). David went from Mizpah to Moab to speak to the Moabite king in order that David’s father and mother would be able to dwell there in safety until David knew what to do. We have to realize that David’s family was at Judah and he wanted them to come out of Judah because at that time their lives were in danger. David wanted his family protected until the matter was dealt with by the Living God. In order to clear his mind fro the occasion with the Philistines where David acted like a madman, he went to Mizpah until he heard from GOD! David was going to inquire of the Lord! Are you ready to run because this is going to blow your mind! Mizpah means “observatory for military purposes – watch tower.” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 4709/#4707). This word comes from the word meaning “to lean forward, (i.e. to peer into the distance), to observe, await, behold, espy, look up (well), wait for, (keep the) watch, watchman.” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 6822). David went to wait upon the Lord God, to look up to where his help came! David went from letting the anxiety control him to now seeking the Lord God. This position of seeking the Lord caused David to lean not on his own understanding but lean forward upon the Lord God and acknowledge Him so God Almighty would direct his path! (Proverbs 3:5-6) This is the position of all watchmen, is waiting upon the Lord and as they do they can peer forward into the distance by God Almighty to see the hope to which He has called them and the Bride, which is to SEE THE GREATNESS OF GOD THAT IS SOON TO MANIFEST!!!!!!!!!!!! God is our strong Tower and our Defense and we run into Him and are protected! When we turn away from the anxiety that would control us and instead run into God we then begin to hear from Him! WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY ABOUT YOUR FUTURE???!!!!! IT SAYS YOU ARE THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL, YOU ARE ABOVE AND NOT BENEATH!!!! LEAN INTO THE FUTURE ON GOD'S WORD TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS! 2 Fair and beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth—Mount Zion [the City of David], to the northern side [Mount Moriah and the temple], the [whole] city of the Great King! 3 God has made Himself known in her palaces as a Refuge (a High Tower and a Stronghold). Psalm 48:2-3 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong. Proverbs 18:10 As David made the Lord God his Strong Tower then there is a shift; the prophetic (PROPHETIC WORD- THAT DAVID LEANED UPON IN GOD WHICH CAUSED HIM TO PEER INTO THE DISTANCE - FUTURE) came to David through the prophet Gad for David to leave and go into the Land of Judah! Oh my you are going to jump and shout with this revelation! As David waited upon the Lord God not leaning on his own understanding but instead leaning forward upon God, he was able to hear the Lord and get the prophetic word (direction) in which he was to walk and it was to go into the Land of Judah!!!!!! Are you ready because we all know that Judah means praise!!! But did you know that Gad indicates being a son of Jacob, a son of the promise and that his name means “to crowd upon, attack, invade, OVERCOME!” Glory to God as David waited on the Lord God, God’s overcoming Power came to him!!!!!!!! It is not by our power or our might but it is by God’s Spirit that we get victory!!!!!! That is what David remembered and he put down his trophy of the sword of Goliath, knowing that it was not going to be by his own hand that victory came but only by One, God Almighty!!! As David waited on the Lord God the power of God Almighty came upon him to overcome the enemy! Gad told David to get out of Mizpah and get into the Land of Judah! As we wait upon the Lord God and He brings forth His power to overcome it is going to manifest through GOD’S PRAISE IN US BY THE TESTIMONY WE ARE ABLE TO DECLARE!!! No warrior gets the victory first on the battlefield; first they get it in their heart! The victory comes to the heart first, because somehow there is a knowing that before the battle is finished, it is finished! That is the praise that David is breaking into, the Praise to God Almighty Who is the Lord of the Battle!!!!!! God being Lord of the Battle, Lord Sabaoth never loses!!!!!!! That is what David got a revelation of is Lord Sabaoth, God being Lord of Host, Lord of the Battle!!!!! Who is the King of Glory, the Lord Strong and Mighty, the Lord Mighty in Battle! He is the King of Glory!!!! (Psalm 24). David knew God as Lord Sabaoth but had to come place without realizing where the anxiety he previously had, caused him to forget that truth! However, as David ran into the Lord as his Strong Tower he came back to that place of knowing God as Lord Sabaoth! 4 [But] look! [Here are] the wages that you have withheld by fraud from the laborers who have reaped your fields, crying out [for vengeance]; and the cries of the harvesters have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts. James 5:4 Vengeance is the Lord God’s and not ours! No where are we to take vengeance for it is not our portion but rather we are to run into God and He will bring forth the Acceptable Year of the Lord’s Favor and the Day of Vengeance on our behalf! It is Isaiah 61!!!!! David ran into the forest of Hareth. Hareth in Hebrew means “to engrave -graven.” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word #2801/2800). David had to get to a place to REMEMBER without doubt that he is not forsaken and moreover that his name is written upon the Lord God, it is ENGRAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14 But Zion [Jerusalem, her people as seen in captivity] said, The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me. 15 [And the Lord answered] Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you. 16 Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands; [O Zion] your walls are continually before Me. Isaiah 49:14-16 AMP The King James Version uses the word “graven.” 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:16 KJV. Graven here means “to enact, to hack, prescribe, appoint, decree, governor, grave, lawgiver, print, set.” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word #2710). God has decreed our destiny, He has printed and set our call, He has prescribed every step we take! That is where David is now, is walking the Destiny of God’s Greatness which is about to manifest and overcome the enemy! Knowing who we are causes the anxiety within us to be hacked away by the Living Word, the engraved Word of God in our hearts! 6 Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him. Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the height, his spear in his hand and all his servants standing about him.7 Saul said to his servants who stood about him, Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards and make you all commanders of thousands and hundreds,8 That all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or discloses that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in wait, as he does this day? 1Samuel 22:6-9 Saul, David’s enemy is still pursuing David because of the tormenting spirit, but this time David is secure in God’s Strong Tower being lifted up by God to let God be Lord of the battle. Saul is angry because David is causing the produce/fruit of the greatness of God to be made manifest now in others!!!!! The enemy is not threatened if you stay small and do not reproduce fruit of the seed of Christ Jesus, God’s Word in Power which is the Greatness of God on display! However, when you start having fruit produce then he gets mad. That is what Saul is now mocking about is David making the Benjamites owners of fields and vineyards and making them commanders of thousands and hundreds! Benjamin means son of the right hand, indicating favor and authority! David was causing others to know their favor with God and the acceptable year of the Lord’s Favor and the Day of Vengeance of God which would bring victory and overcoming power to everyone! This is what Saul did not want to happen. Saul’s son, Jonathan made a covenant with David (beloved) and now others were, too. ANXIETY BRINGS TROUBLE Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood with Saul’s servants, said, I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub. 10 And [Ahimelech] inquired of the Lord for him, and gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine. 11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were at Nob, and they all came to the king. 12 Saul said, Hear now, you son of Ahitub. He replied, Here I am, my lord. 13 Saul said to him, Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so he could rise against me to lie in wait, as he does this day? 14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, And who is so faithful among all your servants as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council and honored in your house? 15 Have I only today begun inquiring of God for him? No! Let not the king impute any wrong to his servant or to all the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much. 16 [Saul] said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house. 17 And the king said to the guard that stood about him, Turn and slay the Lord’s priests, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he fled and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hands against the Lord’s priests. 18 The king said to Doeg, You turn and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests and slew that day eighty-five persons who wore the priest’s linen ephod. 19 And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the sword; both men and women, children and sucklings, oxen and donkeys and sheep, he put to the sword. 1 Samuel 22:6-19 Ahimelech is associated here with his father, Ahitub. Ahitub means “brother of goodness.” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 285). Ahimelech means “brother of the king.” Therefore, here when we walk in the goodness of God, we then walk in the power and authority of God, indicated by brother of the king. That is what satan does not want! God, before He showed Moses His glory, hid him in the cleft of the rock and told Moses that He would cause His GOODNESS to pass before Moses. Therefore, goodness here is likened to God’s Glory, God’s Greatness! This is what anxiety wants to destroy because it is the fruit and produce of God in the earth! This is demonstrated when Doeg, meaning anxious, tells Saul what Ahimelech did for David. Saul then gets so mad he orders the men to slay the priest. However, because of reverence toward God, Saul’s men would not do it. The one that was truly anxious here was SAUL because of his own jealousy toward David and it was from that anxiety that the fear in Saul, caused murder to arise in his heart toward both David, and those that conspired with him. We can look at it from this point of view, the enemy wants to come against the goodness of God in our lives (steal our praise) so we do not have anything to praise God about. The enemy does not want others to see the goodness of God in our lives!!!! WE OVERCOME BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY!!!!!! The greatness of God is the testimony you have in your belly that lets out a HIGH PRAISE that completely destroys the works of the devil!!!! That is what the enemy is after so what does he do to kill it in you? He brings anxiety to put you in fear. People are set free by the power of God’s Word, the Testimony in you, which causes them to overcome, rising up and shining in the light of Christ Jesus so they too can release the greatness of God, the glory of God in their lives to shine in the earth!!!!!!! The accuser of the brethren would love to get you in a mock trial and accuse you but don't you enter a mock trial; NO MAN IS TO JUDGE YOUR SPIRIT! ONLY GOD ALONE IS TO JUDGE YOUR SPIRIT! here is link to teaching on the accuser of the brethren that will cause you to be anxious! Your old man is dead and in Christ Jesus you are a new creation! (http://godsfirewall.com/gf/index.php/multimedia/blogs/83-get-your-spirit-man-out-of-the-court-room) THE ENEMY WANTS TO WEAR YOU DOWN AND THE ONLY WAY HE CAN DO SO IS THROUGH ANXIETY AGAINST YOUR MIND!!!!!! THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO RESOLVE TO KNOW CHRIST JESUS AND HIM CRUCIFIED!!!!!! WE SEE IN DANIEL THAT IS THE SCHEME OF THE ENEMY! 25 And he shall speak words against the Most High [God] and shall WEAR out the saints of the Most High and think to change the time [of sacred feasts and holy days] and the law; and the saints shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time [three and one-half years]. Daniel 7:25 Have you ever been in a meeting where someone gave their testimony that the power of God hit you and nearly knocked you off your feet? I HAVE!!!!! Let me TESTIFY!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!! I was at The Call in Alabama in 2008 or 2009; 22 IS 22 (Isaiah 22:22 Company) our ministry went for the entire day to pray for our state and nation. While my youngest son, Matthew, and I were up at the front worshiping God and praying a young man stepped up from the Ramp Ministry of Karen Wheaton to give his testimony. I happened to be right in front and the first person directly in his eye view. All the while this young man began to give his testimony I began to feel an excitement, a stirring, a churning a bubbling up in my spirit that began to lift me up out of my present circumstances of being less than, being broke, and being pressed down. Before I knew it this young man got to the last two sentences in his testimony and I cannot even explain it but I felt it!!!!! This huge power ball is all I can think of came upon me and hit me so hard in the stomach area (my belly) that it nearly knocked me off my feet but instead it swelled up in me and all I could do was shout GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tell you truly I could not stop shouting and praising God!!!!!!!!! We overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our Testimony!!!!! The Word of the Greatness of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is when God showed me the power, the wonder working power of the overcomer in the Greatness of God, which comes through the Testimony of a Saint!!!! Oh my, moreover I got a call yesterday from a brother and sister who have received massive miracles as of late in their life and their testimony hit me too and I felt like I could run because this is what I know!!!!!!!!!!!! The power of the Testimony is the Declaration, the Engraving, the Appointment, The Prescribing of GOD’S GREATNESS IN OUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!! It is a yoke destroying anointing that sets people free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is God's Covenant, His Word manifested! 10 Then I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come—the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out! 11 And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]. Revelation 12:10-11 That is why Doeg was the one that rose up his weapon to slay the priest, women and children. Because it is only anxiety by the enemy (anxious/Doeg) that can kill our power to overcome! It is only anxiety that can prevent the Goodness of God and the manifestation of His power in our lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anxiety wants to get rid of every good thing God has done in your life so you do not testify!!!!! David had to get to Mizpah and from there being in God’s Strong Tower, David had to get his praise back, the power to overcome! It is no different for us! Anxiety flees at the sound of praise! That is what the enemy is after! 20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub named Abiathar escaped and fled after David. 21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the Lord’s priests. 22 David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all your father’s house. 23 Stay with me, fear not; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. But with me you shall be safeguarded. Abithar tell’s David about what Saul had done to the priests. David revealed to Abiathar that he knew when he saw “Doeg” that Saul would be informed. Saul represents fear in our lives but Doeg represents anxiety (unrealistic fear). However, if we give into anxiety that is unrealistic fear before you know it that which we have “feared” will come upon us, as we see with Job. That is what David knew and that is what David overcame! David in overcoming his own temptation to be anxious, became a strong tower of God’s Greatness that would safe guard others. Likewise, as we overcome the temptation to be anxious, somehow others see the Greatness of God, the peace of God in our lives that they are drawn to it and it is in that place that we produce/bring forth fruit of God’s greatness, of the Word in Power! Therefore, press into God as your Strong Tower and in that place wait upon Him and He will bring forth the overcoming power of His Word, His Greatness that will lift you up and send you forth into the call to see the prescribing of God’s Greatness made manifest in your life!!!!! In this place of God’s Goodness the enemy is overcome, Doeg/Anxious/Anxiety is overcome and we see this clearly in the Psalm that David wrote regarding Doeg. Declare this over yourself in faith knowing that God is Lord Sabaoth, He is Lord of the Battle in your life, the Lord of Host and He will defeat the enemy as you rise up and overcome in the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony about the Greatness of God in your life!!!! Yesterday our air conditioner went out in our car and God said “Robin Praise Me!” I said Glory to God I have something to praise You about, because you are about to give us a miracle! Do you need healing in your body? Do not let anxiety overtake you but let out a high praise of God’s greatness in your life! Do you need financial provision to make it? Do not let anxiety overtake you but let out a high praise of God’s greatness about what He has done and what He is about to do! Declare God’s Word, His Truth! In every circumstance BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING! BUT LET OUT THE POWER OF GOD’S GREATNESS COME FORTH AS A HIGH PRAISE IN YOUR MOUTH TO REPRODUCE THE FRUIT OF GOD’S WORD IN POWER IN THE EARTH! Psalm 52 To the Chief Musician. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem. [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. 1 Why boast you of mischief done against the loving-kindness of God [and the godly], O mighty [sinful] man, day after day? 2 Your tongue devises wickedness; it is like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 You love evil more than good, and lying rather than to speak righteousness, justice, and right. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 4 You love all destroying and devouring words, O deceitful tongue. 5 God will likewise break you down and destroy you forever; He will lay hold of you and pluck you out of your tent and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 6 The [uncompromisingly] righteous also shall see [it] and be in reverent fear and awe, but about you they will [scoffingly] laugh, saying, 7 See, this is the man who made not God his strength (his stronghold and high tower) but trusted in and confidently relied on the abundance of his riches, seeking refuge and security for himself through his wickedness. 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will thank You and confide in You forever, because You have done it [delivered me and kept me safe]. I will wait on, hope in and expect in Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your saints (Your kind and pious ones). PSALM 52:1-9 To get through this trial we are to simply keep our eyes on Jesus and stay crucified in Him!!!!!! That is what Paul resolved to do! In so doing we obtain the very mind of Christ Jesus, the mind of God and in this position to know God's thoughts , which is to prosper us and not harm us, to bring us a hope and a future! If we seek God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength we will find HIM! (Jeremiah 29:11-13) 1 As for myself, brethren, when I came to you, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony and evidence or mystery and secret of God [concerning what He has done through Christ for the salvation of men] in lofty words of eloquence or human philosophy and wisdom; 2 For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified. 3 And I was in (passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling [after I had come] among you. 4 And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them], 5 So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God. 6 Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away. 7 But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden [from the human understanding] and now revealed to us by God—[that wisdom] which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification [to lift us into the glory of His presence]. 8 None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed]. 10 Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny]. 11 For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man’s thoughts except the man’s own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. 13 And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. 14 But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated. 15 But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. 16 For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 God bless you! Robin Kirby-Gatto Webpage: http://Godsfirewall.com
THE REVEALING AND RESTRAINING OF DOEG, BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING! by Robin Kirby-Gatto June 3, 2013 Since the past few months God has had me reposting over and over about the attack of the enemy against the minds of God’s saints only to wear them down! Simultaneously in Session 13 (month 13) of God’s Fire Wall School of Healing of the Soul God had me start writing a “Fortitude Series” with the first portion of the series being “God is FOR you!” We studied the necessary component of “perseverance and preservation! We must persevere against the attacks of the enemy and press forward in the Call of Christ Jesus and we know that it is God Who preserves us, keeps us! In doing the first session of that series God had me go into the portion in perseverance in how the enemy causes us to be weary. Do you know that is how weariness comes first is through the attack of the mind as seen in Hebrews 12:3. 12 Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, 2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 JUST THINK OF HIM WHO ENDURED FROM SINNERS SUCH GRIEVOUS OPPOSITION AND BITTER HOSTILITY AGAINST HIMSELF [RECKON UP AND CONSIDER IT ALL IN COMPARISON WITH YOUR TRIALS], SO THAT YOU MAY NOT GROW WEARY OR EXHAUSTED, LOSING HEART AND RELAXING AND FAINTING IN YOUR MINDS. Hebrews 12:1-3 That which the enemy wants to distract us from is faith in Christ Jesus, the Word of God, God’s mighty Covenant Promise! How does the enemy do that? By causing you to feel everything contrary to God’s Word to where you feel you are not blessed, you are sick, you are oppressed and distressed, you name it! However, we have to realize in this time it is when we are being sifted and much of the time as we are going through this trial and suffering temptation it is the purifying of our faith as in 1 Peter 1:6-7 in order that the Word, Christ Jesus may be revealed in and through us!!!! 6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, 7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7 The enemy is going to attack those who are walking in the call of Christ Jesus in a greater intensity, a greater faith! Therefore, as we go from glory to glory being transformed into the image of Christ Jesus, the Word of God, and we are hit on every side in order that the Word that is in us as it is trying us can come forth like GOLD and be REVEALED! In this process of sifting in the Spirit and Blast of Burning and the Spirit and Blast of Judgment (please listen to my youtube message link regarding breakthrough Isaiah 4 at the bottom of this note) we are being purified and purged from all that would be of the flesh and carnal nature. It is in order that we are crucified with Christ Jesus and it is no longer us that lives, but rather it is Christ Jesus in us! As I was studying this morning in the Word God begin revealing much about this attack in this hour through His servant David and the trying and testing of God’s Word in him! Moreover, I was hit by two simultaneous attacks of Jezebel to intimidate me and cause me to bow down to fear and the revelation began to make much more sense. The enemy is using whatever he can in this hour, whether it is Jezebel, Behemoth, Python, Leviathan, etc to come against the saints of God in order that he can weary us in one place alone, in OUR MINDS!!!! The Word says we have the Mind of Christ Jesus and in having the Mind of Christ we have the very thoughts of the Father, which is to prosper us to give us a hope and guess what A FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE GREATNESS OF GOD HIMSELF MANIFESTED IN HIS WORD IN US IN THE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I glanced at note 2 of the Jezebel notes God had me write it leaped out to me what God revealed to me in that teaching! God showed me the devil is not threatened if you stay small! He doesn’t care if you stay small in your small sphere of influence what the enemy is worried about is you ENLARGING BY THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD AND THE GREATNESS OF GOD COMING FORTH TO BE SEEN IN YOU OF HIS RICHES IN GLORY! It is 1 Chronicles 29:11-13!!! “The Jezebel spirit looks to usurp authority and is drawn to places to find someone who is not operating in their authority in order to take control. I have experienced many attacks in this area in many parts of my life and especially in ministry. When you step out in the call of God on your life Jezebel is going to try and weave in and out of your ministry, business and/or destiny so that she can look for an opportune time to take the seated position of authority in your life, ministry, business, etc. so that she can rule that place. The Jezebel spirit does not want to end your ministry or business, as long as she is in a place of authority then she can bring in her “TABLE” to begin the reproduction of her system and feeding more people with her food to keep them asleep from the call of God on their life. As long as you remain in a place with small authority or small success you are not a threat. It is when you are awakened to the GREATNESS of GOD inside of you that you are a threat to the Jezebel spirit. I remember three years ago Holy Spirit told me that I was not “DANGEROUS ENOUGH FOR THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT.” I said what are you talking about Holy Spirit what do you mean dangerous enough. Then one day later, when my husband and I went to the beach I took Frances Frangipane’s small book on the Jezebel Spirit I remember seeing that implication of being dangerous enough for the Jezebel spirit. It was as though God was saying I want you to become so filled with the fullness of My Holy Spirit inside of you and be compelled with the Love of Christ and My Name Jealous that you will make War against the spirit of Jezebel.” (http://godsfirewall.com/gf/index.php/multimedia/blogs/34-jezebel-notes-part-2-qbecoming-a-threat-to-jezebelq) God is the God of Greatness and in Him is all power, glory, honor and riches, therefore when God’s greatness is manifest in you the enemy and the hordes of hell tremble! What the enemy doesn’t want you to know is who you are in CHRIST JESUS, IN THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD (GOD’S COVENANT)! God begin giving more understanding about this attack in this hour against the saints of God and revealed it through His servant David who struggled with this attack only to overcome, seeing the revelation in which David’s greatness came from his dependence entirely upon God, pursuing the Father’s heart! This is what caused the greatness of God to be manifest in David for he was a man after God’s heart and David found it only to find the Greatness of God Almighty!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what the enemy is doing in this hour is to cause us to be worn out in this hour in our mind. The reason the enemy is doing this is to keep us from discovering the Greatness of God Almighty by the Power of His Word and His Holy Spirit RESIDENT WITHIN US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH GLORY TO GOD I AM ABOUT TO SHOUT!!!!! A HIGH PRAISE HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the enemy can weary you in your mind, he can get your “high praise” to the Living God. Buckle up and let’s get moving on understanding God’s Word; Faith comes by Understanding God’s Word and right now I call forth God’s Spirit of Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding to be upon you and open up the eyes of your heart to flood your soul and spirit the Light of His Word, Christ Jesus, the Spirit of Truth! In Jesus Name! AMEN! RUNNING FROM THE ENEMY AND INTO GOD’S PROMISES! The only way in which the enemy attacks God’s people is through our mind by causing us to be afraid and that fear leads to anxiety rooted in our soul, which in time causes us to be anxious about everything. All the while, we are distracted from Christ Jesus, causing us to be sidetracked from walking in God’s promises. We are so busy with the cares of this world that it is choking out the life of God, the Word RESIDENT within us!!! As the Word is within us and we are the temple of God’s Holy Spirit, the manifestation of Christ Jesus to a lost and dying world comes forth in us, who are His fragrance to be sprayed out so others can smell the fragrance of Christ! Moreover, God stirs us to provoke others to jealousy by the Goodness of God in our lives. God's goodness is seen when we are walking in God’s promises so much that it causes others to want the Living God and be jealous for Him. We know that David is a child of God’s promise, chosen to be heir of the throne of Israel, moreover an eternal throne on which Christ Jesus would rule and reign consummating all things in heaven and in earth through the power of His reconciliation as poured out by His very own Blood, the Soul of God Himself to redeem mankind!!!!! We were brought near to God forever to remain and abide in His rest only to know for certain God is the true and Living God and none other!!!!! He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! God is the God of Israel!!! David had fought in battle, first fighting Goliath and conquering the Philistine army in that remarkable recording of God’s greatness seen in a shepherd boy who overcame a mighty giant, in whom others in God’s army were terrified and tormented daily so much that they dare not battle Goliath, because of fear. David brought COURAGE! David brought God’s PEACE AND WALKED IN THE MANIFESTED POWER OF GOD’S GREATNESS! Saul had tried to set many traps for David out of jealousy, to injure him and even kill him because of the evil spirit that tormented Saul’s soul. It was out of this torment of Saul toward David which became a constant battle against David only to wear him down. The enemy was not afraid of David’s call, He was afraid of David WALKING IN THE GREATNESS OF THE CALL!!!! The enemy would have been fine if David only killed a thousand but what disturbed the devil more was that David conquered his tens of thousands!!!!!!!!!! The Greatness of God was reproducing in David to cause others to rise up to that same greatness that God would extend to them. Therefore, David is a representation of a life lived in the Greatness of God manifested in 1 Chronicles 29:11-13. 11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all.13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name and those attributes which that name denotes. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13. It was when David took his eyes off of God’s greatness that caused him anxiety and fear as he was running from the enemy. It is no different for us! The enemy wants to cause us to fear him so that in that fear, the anxiety of it ends UP CONTROLLING US!!!!!! OR CAN WE SAY JEZEBELING US!!!!!!!! When we keep our eyes only on God and do not tolerate the fear of the enemy to intimidate us or make us anxious then the weapon cannot prosper! (Isaiah 54:17). David knew Saul wanted to kill him and through Saul’s son, Jonathon, David was able to see this truth revealed and is now leaving to run into the wilderness to seek safety from the one that would cause him to fear for his own life. Saul was tormented by an evil spirit therefore it was not Saul that was truly after David’s life but a tormenting evil spirit that sought David’s demise. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against ruling powers, despotism, and principalities in the heavenly realm. Saul was not threatened by David being great, rather all of hell and satan and his minions were threatened! When you become a threat to the enemy, that is when the battle intensifies! That is what we see with David presently in 1 Samuel 21; the battle intensifies and it is no different for us! However, that which catches David off guard is truly not fear because remember David has conquered many of the Philistine army even at the traps and snares set up by king Saul, David still conquered! What David’s problem became was smaller than fear; his problem was anxiety! “Anxiety is an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and apprehension, often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints and rumination. It is the subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over something unlikely to happen, such as the feeling of imminent death. Anxiety is feeling unrealistic fear, worry, and uneasiness, usually generalized and unfocused. It is often accompanied by restlessness, fatigue, problems in concentration, and muscular tension. Anxiety is not considered to be a normal reaction to a perceived stressor although many feel it occasionally. Anxiety is not the same as fear. Fear is evoked by a realistic danger and is an appropriate response to a perceived threat, while anxiety is worry or overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as menacing” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anxiety) True fear is due to realistic danger but anxiety is unrealistic fear which leads to worry, uneasiness, UNFOCUSED, effecting your concentration (or can we say WEARINESS OF MIND) and tension! The enemy wants to wear us down in our minds saints, and he doesn’t do it through realistic fear but rather through unrealistic fear leading to anxiety, stress, being unfocused, wearing our minds down, effecting us physically and emotionally, as well as causing us BURN OUT AND FATIGUE, getting us out of the race altogether! We see this revelation in 1 Samuel 21. THE UNREALISTIC FEAR BEGINS TO RISE UP IF WE LET IT Then David went to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech was afraid at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you alone and no man with you? 2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has charged me with a matter and has told me, Let no man know anything of the mission on which I send you and with what I have charged you. I have appointed the young men to a certain place. 3 Now what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you may have. 4 And the priest answered David, There is no common bread on hand, but there is hallowed bread—if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. 5 And David told the priest, Truly women have been kept from us in these three days since I came out, and the food bags and utensils of the young men are clean, and although the bread will be used in a secular way, it will be set apart in the clean bags. 6 So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there but the showbread which was taken from before the Lord to put hot bread in its place the day when it was taken away. 1 Samuel 21:1-6. David in running from Saul’s insane behavior for his life goes to Nob and meets up with Ahimelech the priest. Even Ahimlech is even frightened when David is alone because it is not normal for David to be alone but rather with those whom he fights as armed men in battle. Now remember the enemy can only cause you to have unrealistic (anxiety) from places in which you are still a slave, still oppressed! Therefore, places from your past that still oppress you or bring you anxiety can cause you to be in bondage by anxiety, thereby manipulating and controlling you, causing you to be faint hearted and grow weary, only to burn out!!!!! Presently, I know this to be true with some ministers; I know some ministers who have become weary and are burned out. If the enemy can cause you to burn out then he can cause you to be ineffective in being a display of God’s greatness. That is what the devil wanted to do with David is to stop standing out so much displaying the Greatness of God. David’s father’s name, Jesse, means to “stand out.” David’s name means beloved. Therefore, David was born to stand out as the beloved of God Almighty. The place which David went was Nob, meaning fruit and to produce. The person to whom David goes is Ahimelech. Ahimelech means “brother of the king.” If we look it at from this perspective David was running to the place to meet the revelation of being THE BROTHER OF THE KING! TO SEE THE REPRODUCING OF GOD'S WORD, THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, GOD'S PROMISES MANIFEST! As we know that we are joint heirs with Christ Jesus and we are seated with Him in heavenly places then we are of the same FRUIT (PRODUCE) being sons and daughters of which, Christ Jesus is the First Fruit! Jesus informed His disciples that they were His brethren! It is the brethren that walk into the manifested promises of God, the inheritance of God’s greatness! The word brethren in Greek, means to be born of the same womb. Therefore, David had to know that His destiny was not born of this earth but by the very womb of God because before David had been born every single one of his days were recorded in God’s book! David’s destiny although in the earth was not of the earth but of THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! (PSALM 139) Likewise, we in truly going into the call of Christ Jesus Reproduce the Fruit of CHRIST!!!! We have to know that we are joint heirs with Christ Jesus, we are born of the womb of God! We are o the fruit of God Almighty, the Greatness of God! David running into Ahimelech and being hungry asked for bread to eat. Ahimelech stated that the only bread available was not the common bread but the HOLY BREAD and moreover there were 5 loaves. Five means grace, therefore it is God’s grace that is His power making us sufficient in all that we do through and by God’s Holy Spirit and the power of His Word! Common bread, worldly substance could not get David through this trial and temptation only the Pure Holy Bread of God, the WORDS THAT PROCEEDED FROM THE FATHER would be able to sustain him, to cause David to endure! Likewise, the enemy right now knows the hour we are in and in knowing that he is bringing distractions of this earth to work his plans of anxiety, whether it is car breaks, broken appliances, illness, money problems, friction in relationships, loss of employment, etc. The whole goal is to get us to faint in our minds and cause us to be weary and burned out so we are not focused on the Lord God and His righteousness, but instead the enemy is sidetracking us from the Call of God’s Greatness to be displayed in the earth through us!!! The priest here tells David that those who have been kept from women can eat of the holy bread. David stated that he and his men had been kept from women three days, identifying a purification process by which the flesh was not being fed and the source had been stopped so that the David could grow strong in spirit! What is it that is feeding our flesh right now? Is it food, co-dependency in relationships, addictions no matter what it is even if it is the internet, entertainment, meetings, telephone conversations! The whole purpose of the enemy is to keep us feeding the carnal man, the flesh so that we do not grow strong in spirit! (Luke 1:80; 2:40) The holy bread, showbread, was to be fresh hot bread replaced continually before the Lord by the service of the priest. This holy bread indicates to us that we have to continually feed on the Word of God daily so that it does not grow stale but rather is fresh and alive in our lives to provide us the sustenance which we need to press into the Call of Christ Jesus and endure the season of trying. If we are not feeding on the Word of God, getting fresh bread then unrealistic fear (anxiety) can rise up if we let it. ANXIETY BECOMES PARAMOUNT IF WE ALLOW IT 7 Now a certain man of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord; his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul’s herdsmen. 8 David said to Ahimelech, Do you have at hand a sword or spear? The king’s business required haste, and I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me. 9 The priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you slew in the Valley of Elah, see, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you will take that, do so, for there is no other here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me. 1 Samuel 21:6-9 Saul, who was the enemy of David had a man, Doeg – Saul’s chief herdsman, who was detained by the Lord. Doeg in Hebrew is Dô’êg and means “anxious!” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 1673). This word comes from the root word meaning “to be anxious – be afraid (careful, sorry), sorrow, take thought.” (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word #1672). Therefore, what came to tempt David by the enemy was ANXIOUSNESS!!!!! THAT IS WHAT GOD IS RESTRAINING AND EXPOSING IN THIS HOUR IS ANXIOUSNESS!!!!! WE ARE THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT AND HE IS RESTRAINING ANXIOUSNESS, HE IS EXPOSING IT SO WE WILL NO LONGER WALK IN THE CARNAL MAN, IN FLESH!!! It is the Word of God in us that is trying us (Psalm 105:16-17) and in trying us it will expose all that is within US that is not of God! Therefore, resident within us without us KNOWING IS a Doeg, or should we say anxiousness! The Word of God tells us to be anxious for nothing! Anxiety was in David but he had no understanding of it because he was use to his past battles and his present circumstance revealed the past oppression by which David could be controlled by the enemy! Is it different for us? No!!!! Our past oppression controls and manipulates us causing us to be fearful and anxious, forgetting that we are in the LORD GOD’S KEEPING AND NONE OTHER BECAUSE GOD ALMIGHTY THROUGH CHRIST JESUS AND THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT PRESERVES US!!!! PROTECTS US!!!!! KEEPS US!!!!! David fought against Goliath neither with sword nor spear but in the NAME AND KEEPING OF THE LIVING GOD!!!!! However, that is not what we see here presently with Ahimelech. Instead David takes his past victory over the enemy and uses it as a trophy to make him fell better, feel protected! 45 Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands. 1 Samuel 17:45-47 David was leaning on his past victory over Goliath by obtaining the sword of Goliath to conquer his present anxiety, rather than leaning on God! There are times when we can look at a way in which God in our past has had us overcome the enemy and begin to lean on that victory of the past instead of living on the Present Word of God to give us perseverance and be that which keeps us! That is what the enemy is doing in this hour is causing us to fall into a pattern from our past victories where there is no present one because we are not pulling on the fresh Bread, Word of the Lord and instead are looking at our own sufficiency or rather even insufficiency but it is still SELF-BASED AND SELF-ISH not SLEF-LESS! God wants us to be more crucified in this hour and it is that resolve we have to have in order to overcome the susceptibility to becoming anxious by unrealistic fears due to our past oppression that the enemy is working on against our mind. In Christ Jesus alone we overcome! That is what God is revealing to us in this hour is areas we still have not surrendered fully to the Lord God and instead we are trying to control or allow the enemy to control us not walking the rest of God but rather in the arm of our own strength which is nothing compared to the power of God Almighty! God’s power reveals God’s greatness! The enemy does not want the reproduction (FRUIT) of the Word of God in our lives so he can try to nullify it by causing us to look at our past victories and think we can walk that way in this hour instead of leaning upon God! We cannot lean upon our understanding but only upon the Lord God by acknowledging Him in all that we do and in that He does direct our path! (Proverbs 3:5-6). David when he conquered Goliath was so Self-less that in the boldness of God, the Greatness of the Almighty the enemy was defeated! However, the present “anxiety” not actual fear of the enemy was causing David to defend himself! The anxiety was getting David to forget that it is the Lord God Who keeps David and preserves him! It is no different for us because the anxiety caused by the enemy is allowing us to take our eyes off of the Lord God! That is what anxiety does therefore we cannot give into it but instead we have to resist it and the only means by which we resist is by speaking GOD’S GRACE, THE FRESH HOT BREAD OF COVENANT BY WHICH WE FEED ON CONTINUALLY!!!!!! David rose up and fled from the enemy with the weapon of his past battle but the sword of Goliath was a present hindrance to DAVID"S NOW BATTLE WHERE HE NEEDED VICTORY! THE PAST WEAPON BY WHICH GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU THROUGH, CAN IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BECOME A PRESENT HINDRANCE TO YOUR NOW VICTORY! 10 David arose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. 11 The servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David, the king of the land? Did they not sing one to another of him in their dances: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 12 David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish king of Gath. 13 And he changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be insane in their [Philistine] hands, and scribbled on the gate doors, and drooled on his beard. 14 Then said Achish to his servants, You see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me? 15 Have I need of madmen, that you bring this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house? 1 Samuel 21:10-15 David rises and runs to Achish King of Gath, which is the place from which Goliath comes. Therefore, David ran from his present enemy to the place of his past victory over the enemy to dwell! YOU CANNOT DO THAT!!!! YOU HAVE TO FORGET THE PAST, ALL THAT WHICH IS BEHIND YOU BECAUSE IT CAN BECOME A HINDRANCE FROM YOU PRESSING INTO YOUR PRESENT VICTORY IN CHRIST! THAT IS WHAT PAUL DID AND SPOKE TO THE PHILIPPIANS! 12 Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. 13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. Philippians 3:12-14. Achish in Hebrew does not have a meaning but the meaning given to it by others is “apparently, in Arabic exists a similar name which means He Was Afraid; probably intending to reflect the fear instilled in the other guy.” (http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Achish.html#.UazSath6YhM) DO YOU SEE THIS?????? BECAUSE DAVID'S ANXIETY CAUSED HIM TO BE AFRAID!!!!!! Gath in Hebrew means a treading and as in a wine press being pressed down (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 1661). This can be seen as similar to threshing or a sifting. The Lord God is allowing that which is not of Him resident within us to be exposed and this fiery trail and temptation is exposing all within us not of God because God is a jealous God and will not let us be given to another! Therefore, understand this!!!!!! David’s anxiety caused from his past oppression of actual fear became a present reality and now what David perceived as an unrealistic fear (anxiety) actually in his mind became his present reality AND MADE HIM AFRAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although it was merely perceived and was a result of anxiety even when not real it became a cage by which it controlled David so much to drive him to defend himself by looking foolish because the past weapon used to bring him victory was not the Now Defense for Him, but rather simply a trophy he was trying to use to show off himSELF!!!! God is David’s defense but David due to anxiety was blinded to the truth and was selfish!!!!! Rather David chose to defend himself (SELF). Here is David whom is presumed to be a king of the land (Brethren of the King) but is not acting like one but instead is acting like a lunatic, OUT OF HIS MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU SEE THIS!!!!!????????? THE ENEMY WEARIED DAVID IN HIS MIND TO CAUSE HIM TO BE WEARY AN FAINT AND IN THAT POSITION DAVID CHOSE TO RELY ON HIS PAST VICTORY USING THE WEAPON FROM HIS PAST THAT DID NOT HAVE A THE PRESENT BREAD OF GOD (FRESH AND HOT)!!!! DAVID WAS RELYING ON STALE BREAD FOR HIS PRESENT VICTORY INSTEAD OF GOD’S GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD’S GRACE IS GOD’S POWER, HIS SUFFICIENCY!!!! HIS GREATNESS!!!! The word used for insane in Hebrew means (TO BOAST, MAKE A SHOW, FOOLISH, TO RAVE, CELEBRATE, STULTIFY, SELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLORY, GIVE LIGHT, AND FEIGN SELF!!!!!!!!!! MAD AGAINST, RAGE, RENOWNED, ETC!!! (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 1984) That first word used for insane is distinguished from the other words used for mad in 1 Samuel 21 which means to rave through insanity, be play the mad man. (Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word # 7696). Therefore, it is when we become SELF BASED TO CELEBRATE OUR PAST TROPHIES AS IF IT WILL BE OUR NOW VICTORY THAT CAUSES US TO BE FOOLISH AND LOOK INSANE, IT IS WHAT CAUSES US BY THE ENEMY TO BE WEARIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO BURN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TO BE ALL ABOUT SELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feign means “to make believe” to put on act!!!!! That is what David did; he had the sword of Goliath from the past victory he had over the enemy through God which was hot bread for then!!!!!!!!!! However, David using that past victory instead made it a trophy as His Now and as a result became stale bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is God’s grace and His grace alone which is the power that flattens mountains, that raises us up in the power of His Word and causes us to walk in a present victory and deliverance!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, that which is tormenting your soul is no different than David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is your past victory that you have made a trophy and is now stale bread that the enemy is getting you to rely on instead of the SUSTAINING GRACE OF GOD’S WORD IN POWER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is why we have to forget that which lies behind us!!!!! We have to decrease in self- and be self-less only to decrease so that Christ Jesus in us will increase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Know that this attack against your mind is from the past oppression whether it is rejection, fear, insecurity, failure, etc to cause you to be in bondage presently to an unrealistic fear that becomes your reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, what do you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make the Word of God your sustenance and feed on it for the receiving of understanding to appropriate in your soul the fullness of God’s grace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and He will add all things unto you! (Matthew 6:33) it is not your arm that saves or the past victories that you have made trophies that works, IT IS ONLY THE WORD IN POWER BY ALMIGHTY GOD THAT KEEPS YOU AND DELIVERS YOU FOR HE IS YOUR SHIELD!!!!!!!!! What is so awesome is that in Psalms David writes a psalm for Doeg, anxiety, and in that revelation it demonstrates that David knows it is God and God alone that saves, heals, keeps and delivers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, if you have any area in your life where you have relied on your past victories, making them present trophies or any area in which fear and anxiety have ruled because of being self-based read 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 and give a high praise unto the Living God because He is worthy of all praise!!!!!!!!!!!! Get this; it will blow your mind!!!! Before David fled to Ahimelech the priest, he had prior to that escaped from the enemy to go to Samuel at Ramah and from there David and Samuel when to Naioth. 18 So David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. 1 Samuel 19:18. Samuel means “God has heard” and Ramah means high place, whereas Naioth means residence/rest and habitation! Do you see this???????? The place in which we are heard of God and we hear God is in His rest!!! (Hebrews 4)!!!! It is this place we are a habitation/ a residence for God’s Word to rise up and swell up and be glorified in us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it is Jesus that is lifted up, the Word of God, then He will draw all men to Himself!!!!!! Therefore, in this hour I pray that God strengthen you in your inner man by His might through His Holy Spirit dwelling in your inner man to grasp the fullness of salvation, being rooted deeply and securely grounded in the LOVE OF CHRIST (which drives out all fear) to know a greater height, width and depth of God’s love to KNOW, TO KNOW, TO KNOW THE GREATNESS OF GOD ALMIGHTY NOT ONLY IN YOUR HEARING BUT IN YOUR SEEING TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW AND GRASP THE GREATNESS OF GOD AND SEE GOD DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL THAT YOU CAN THINK OR IMAGINE ACCORDING TO THE OPERATION OF THAT POWER WITHIN YOU IN JESUS NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. 7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. PHILIPPIANS 4:6-8 11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all. 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name and those attributes which that name denotes. 1 CHRONICLES 29:11-13 25 Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? 28 And why should you be anxious about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field and learn thoroughly how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. 29 Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his magnificence (excellence, dignity, and grace) was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? 32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. 33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. 34 So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. MATTHEW 6:25-34 Psalm 52 To the Chief Musician. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem. [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. 1 Why boast you of mischief done against the loving-kindness of God [and the godly], O mighty [sinful] man, day after day? 2 Your tongue devises wickedness; it is like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 You love evil more than good, and lying rather than to speak righteousness, justice, and right. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 4 You love all destroying and devouring words, O deceitful tongue. 5 God will likewise break you down and destroy you forever; He will lay hold of you and pluck you out of your tent and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 6 The [uncompromisingly] righteous also shall see [it] and be in reverent fear and awe, but about you they will [scoffingly] laugh, saying, 7 See, this is the man who made not God his strength (his stronghold and high tower) but trusted in and confidently relied on the abundance of his riches, seeking refuge and security for himself through his wickedness. 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will thank You and confide in You forever, because You have done it [delivered me and kept me safe]. I will wait on, hope in and expect in Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your saints (Your kind and pious ones). PSALM 52:1-9
NOTE 4 REBELLION’S HOUSE DISMANTLED! By Robin Kirby-Gatto 3/18/2013 Remember from note 3 that rebellion when exposed can multiply and the reason that it is doing so is because the church or ministry that is being attacked is about to enter BREAKTHROUGH as we saw in Revelation 4:1-4. When we get now to note 4 we see rebellions house being dismantled by itself. As demons fight against each other in the demonic realm; there is no unity in them but only strife, jealousy, contention and brawling we see the manifestation of this as Gaal (loathing) comes against Abimelech. The only reason that this is exposed is due to the fact that God is uprooting it out of His church. We saw this with Moses and Aaron when Korah came against God’s order and gathered others against Moses at the Tent of Meeting. We saw this with Lucifer as he caused other angels to rebel against God. The ultimate end though with the root of rebellion is that God Almighty will uproot it. WE WILL ALSO SEE GOD HIMSELF COME FORTH AND DISMANTLE ALL OF THE HOUSE OF REBELLION AT THE END OF THE NOTE!!!!!! 30 When Zebul the city’s mayor heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech slyly, saying, Behold, Gaal son of Ebed and his kinsmen have come to Shechem; and behold, they stir up the city to rise against you. 32 Now therefore, rise up by night, you and the men with you, and lie in wait in the field. 33 Then in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, rise early and set upon the city; and when Gaal and the men with him come out against you, do to them as opportunity permits. 34 And Abimelech rose up by night, and all the men with him, and they laid in wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal son of Ebed came out and stood in the entrance of the city’s gate. Then Abimelech and the men with him rose up from ambush. 36 When Gaal saw the men, he said to Zebul, Look, men are coming down from the mountaintops! Zebul said to him, The shadow of the mountains looks to you like men. 37 And Gaal spoke again and said, See, men are coming down from the center of the land, and one company is coming from the direction of the oak of Meonenim [the sorcerers]. 38 Then said Zebul to Gaal, Where is your [big] mouth now, you who said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Are not these the men whom you have despised? Go out now and fight with them. 39 And Gaal went out ahead of the men of Shechem and fought with Abimelech. 40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded—even to the entrance of the gate. 41 And Abimelech lodged at Arumah, and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his kinsmen so that they could not live in Shechem. Zebul the city’s mayor gets mad when he hears loathing coming in the city and his anger is kindled, from this point he sends messengers to Abimelech about Gaal and his kinsmen. Zebul means “dwelling” in Hebrew and means residence comes from the root wor meaning to reside, enclose and dwell. (Hebrew words # 2083, 2073, 2082). They were given instructions by Zebul to lie wait in the “field.” Field in Hebrew means “to spread out, a field, country, field, ground, land, soil, and wild. (Hebrew Word # 7704). We see “spread” in use when one is spreading abroad, being enlarged. 13 And behold, the Lord stood over and beside him and said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father [forefather] and the God of Isaac; I will give to you and to your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 And your offspring shall be as [countless as] the dust or sand of the ground, and you shall spread abroad to the west and the east and the north and the south; and by you and your Offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed and bless themselves. 15 And behold, I am with you and will keep (watch over you with care, take notice of) you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done all of which I have told you. Genesis 28:13-15 OH MY, I AM ABOUT TO RUN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Remember from the last note Holy Spirit had me write that when the enemy comes it is because you are about to BREAKOUT!!! WELL GET THIS ARE YOU READY?????????????? LOL WOO HOO THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spread here in Genesis 28:14 in Hebrew is pârats pronounced paw-rats’ and means “to BREAK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Oh my, I am about to run!!!!!! DO you see this!!!! In your DWELLING PLACE, THE HOUSE OF THE LORD GOD, WHERE GOD ALMIGHTY IS ENLARGING YOU THE ENEMY IS FIGHTING YOU BECAUSE OF GOD’S WORD BREAKING OUT IN YOU!!!!!! It is in this place that the enemy lies in wait in the field; he is not smart enough to know that God is drawing the enemy into a trap!!!! The trap is the place of your breakthrough, you are breaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE IN THE SEASON OF BREAKTHROUGH AND THAT IS WHY THE ATTACK IS OCCURING! This is exactly what Esther experienced when Hamon came against God’s people, seizing rule over them illegally only to wipe them out. The enemy’s attack became his trap! That is why God is God of the battle because the enemy ends up dismantling himself through his very own attack which becomes satan’s trap. Therefore, Gaal’s attack against Abimelech had become his own trap for him and his kinsmen. In time, the prayer of God will dismantle the attack of the enemy and hopefully many will repent of this deception and temptation so that they can walk in the power of God’s Word! As the phoenix is the bird of the mountains and of the field we see that it attacks from the high place in which God is taking you from glory to glory and it attacks at the place of your harvest. That is what is occurring with Abimelech and Gaal. Abimelech has men coming from the mountaintops, indicating the birds of the mountain (phoenix). Also, a group of men are coming from Meonenim which in Hebrew means “to cover, used only as a demon from cloud-thunder cloud, to act covertly, practice magic, enchanter, sorcery (Hebrew word #6051 and 6049), which indicates divination involved (python) involved with rebellion (the phoenix) now. However, know that God has prepared you for the battle and that you will overcome!!!! Paul experience the attack of divination against him when his ministry was enlarging in Acts 16. The four companies of Abimelech laid wait in three locations the mountaintop, the fields, and the place of sorcery. Abimelech lodged to Arumah to dwell and Zebul thrusts out Gaal and his kinsmen. Therefore, God’s House, His dwelling place thrusts out loathing and despising (hatred of others) the enemy!!! No more will hatred towards brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus be tolerated in God’s house; it will be uprooted and thrust out! God’s House will be called a House of Prayer for all the nations!! In God’s house will be love for one another. Arumah in Hebrew means “height.” (Hebrew Word #725) It comes from the word meaning “to be high, act, to rise or raise) extol, haughty, presumptuously, proud, promote, GET THIS TO BREED WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (Hebrew Words # 7316, 7311) OH MY LOOK AT THE NOTE GOD HAD ME DO ON THE ATTACK OF THE WORM-3 parts in all!!!! OH MY DO YOU SEE THIS!!!! Once the enemy’s plans are being dismantled he actually thinks he has victory because he has fought himself and because he thinks he has gotten victory he promotes himself in presumption, is haughtier and in his pride rises up to be the high one!!!!!!! Does this sound familiar????? Lucifer’s rebellion resulted first from self-righteousness, then pride which led to rebellion!!!! 11 Your pomp and magnificence are brought down to Sheol (the underworld), along with the sound of your harps; the maggots [which prey upon dead bodies] are spread out under you and worms cover you [O Babylonian rulers]. 12 How have you fallen from heaven, O light-bringer and daystar, son of the morning! How you have been cut down to the ground, you who weakened and laid low the nations [O blasphemous, satanic king of Babylon!] 13 And you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north. 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (Hades), to the innermost recesses of the pit (the region of the dead). 16 Those who see you will gaze at you and consider you, saying, Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms?— 17 Who made the world like a wilderness and overthrew its cities, who would not permit his prisoners to return home? Isaiah 14:11-16. The pride in Lucifer led him to rebel against God. In that place of hatred and loathing God Almighty cast Lucifer and the angels that rebelled with him out of heaven, out of God’s dwelling place. Right before the casting out of rebellion there will be a last attempt by phoenix to rise up and lift up his neck to spread out his wings and try to exalt him!!!! The Word of God says that if Jesus is lifted up He will draw all men to Himself. Therefore, the phoenix is trying to lift himself up, exalt self so that it can draw others to them but it is a plan that actually backfires on the enemy! 42 The next day the men went out into the fields, and Abimelech was told. 43 He took his men and divided them into three companies and laid in wait in the field; and he looked and behold, the people were coming out of the city. And he rose up against them and smote them. 44 And Abimelech and the company with him rushed forward and stood in the entrance of the city’s gate, while the two other companies rushed upon all who were in the field and slew them. 45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day. He took the city and slew the people who were in it. He demolished the city and sowed it with salt. Abimelech, now exalting himself sends further warriors out into the fields to come against Gaal’s men that had fled Zebul. Abimelech had 3 companies that lied in wait in the field and when the people came out of the city, not Gaal’s men in the field, but rather the people in the city, Abimelech rose up and smote them and came against the city, coming against the city and overthrew the city and demolished the city and sowed it with SALT!! The salt indicates COVENANT!!!!! THE ENEMY IS AFTER GOD’S COVENANT!!!! Every cereal offering you shall season with salt [symbol of preservation]; neither shall you allow the SALT OF THE COVENANT OF YOUR GOD to be lacking from your cereal offering; with all your offerings you shall offer salt. Leviticus 2:13 All the heave offerings [the lifted-out and kept portions] of the holy things which the Israelites give to the Lord I give to you and to your sons and your daughters with you, as a continual debt forever. IT IS A COVENANT OF SALT [THAT CANNOT BE DISSOLVED OR VIOLATED] FOREVER BEFORE THE LORD for you [Aaron] and for your posterity with you. Numbers 18:19 Ought you not to know that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the kingship over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a COVENANT OF SALT? 2 Chronicles 13:5 The salt covenant here the Abimelech is placing down is contrary to God’s covenant. The enemy is taking ground but those who stand their ground, being suited in the armor o God can resist the enemy and he will flee! We see the demonstration of this in the next part of Judges 9. 46 And when all the men of the Tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered the stronghold of the house of El-berith [the god of Berith]. 47 Abimelech was told that all the people of the Tower of Shechem were gathered together. 48 And Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the men with him; and Abimelech took an ax in his hand and cut down a bundle of brush, picked it up, and laid it on his shoulder. And he said to the men with him, What you have seen me do, make haste to do also. 49 So each of the men cut down his bundle and following Abimelech put it against the stronghold and set [the stronghold] on fire over the people in it, so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died, about 1,000 men and women. 50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez and encamped against Thebez and took it. 51 But there was a strong tower in the city, and all the people of the city—men and women—fled to it, shut themselves in, and went to the roof of the tower. 52 And Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it and drew near the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 53 But a certain woman cast an upper millstone [down] upon Abimelech’s head and broke his skull. 54 Then he called hastily to the young man, his armor-bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword and slay me, so that men may not say of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed each man to his home.56 Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech which he had done to his father [Gideon] by slaying his seventy brothers;57 And all the wickedness of the men of Shechem God repaid upon their heads and caused to come upon them the curse of Jotham son of Jerubbaal. Zalmon in Hebrew means “to shade, a phantom, illusion, resemblance, a representative, figure an idol, image, vain show.” (Hebrew Word # 6756 and 6754). Therefore, it looks like the fire of God, the covering of God but it is not God but rather a vain show, an idol that gives the illusion it is God, can we say “strange fire?!!!” Do you see this!!!??? Have you ever seen someone look like they are rising up in the anointing of God to defend Him, so to speak but instead they are operating by the phoenix rising up in a strange fire, that of the phoenix to come against God! Abimelech gets an ax indicating (words of the mouth) and with the ax cuts up bundle brush to lay on his shoulders (act like he has authority). Others follow Abimelech and a thousand more lives are lost due to the fire that Abimelech causes. Then Abimelech goes to Thebez and started encamping against Thebez and took it. However, in the city there was a strong tower that the men and women fled to for shelter. Thebez in Hebrew means “whiteness!!!!!” (Hebrew Word #8405) The Word Thebez is the same as the Hebrew word bûwts which means bleach, be white, cotton, fine linen!!!! Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18 DO YOU SEE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS COMING TO CLEANSE MAN’S SIN FROM THE ROOT OF REBELLION!!!!! 7 Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself. 8 She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white—for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just, and godly living, deeds, and conduct, and right standing with God) of the saints (God’s holy people). 9 Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God. Revelation 19:7-9 It is the test that Daniel spoke of by God of the purification of the Bride!!! To make her WHITE!!!!!! Because those that violate the COVENANT shall pervert and seduce with flatteries but those that KNOW GOD, THAT ARE IN COVENANT WITH HIM, SHALL PROVE THEMSELVES STRONG AND STAND FIRM AND DO GREAT EXPLOITS!!!!! 32 And such as VIOLATE THE COVENANT he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and SHALL STAND FIRM AND DO EXPLOITS [FOR GOD]. 33 And they who are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some [of them and their followers] shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many days. 34 Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with flatteries and hypocrisies. 35 And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, [thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. IT WILL BE A TEST] TO REFINE, TO PURIFY, AND TO MAKE THOSE AMONG [GOD’S PEOPLE] WHITE, EVEN TO THE TIME OF THE END, BECAUSE IT IS YET FOR THE TIME [GOD] APPOINTED. Daniel 11:32-35 Right now while the weather is bad here I can almost hear the sound of the television from when I was a little girl where you would here a long “beep………………………………………. This is a test, it is only a test……..” and usually there was different colors like a cloak of many colors, like Joseph’s cloak that would show during the test and I think of the revelation of God’s truth with this attack of the enemy!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is only a test, to refine us to uproot all rebellion in us an God almighty through the power of His love will uproot and cast out rebellion and for those who repent they shall be purified, they shall be saved!!!!!!!! It is a test to purify and refine the Bride, to make God’s people WHITE!!!!!!! The people hid in the tower of Thebez!!!! Do you see this!!! Abimelech was an illusion of the true shadow, the true stronghold and rampart; there is only ONE STRONG TOWER!!!!! 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! Psalm 91:1-2 The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen and firm Strength in Whom I will trust and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower. Psalm 18:2 Abimelech when he came near to the door of the tower to burn it a “certain woman” cast an upper millstone on his head and broke his skull! The shame of being defeated by the woman was more than he could bear so Abimelech asked his armor bearer to kill him. God repaid the wickedness he had done against Gideon, his father, and the seventy brothers. Moreover, God repaid the wickedness of the men of Shechem upon their heads which was caused as a result of the curse of Jotham, God’s perfect rule!!!!! It was the millstone that was cast from the tower by a woman that broke the enemy’s skull. However, her in proverbs as it relates to wisdom means ‘ushsharnâ means “wall coming from the word ‘uprightness.’” Therefore, we can perceive the woman casting down the millstone as THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST JESUS IN US COMING AGAINST THE ENEMY, IT IS THE WORD THAT IS SHUT UP IN OUR BONES THAT ENLARGES AND SWELLS UP, THAT SPREADS, and THAT BREAKS OUT!! OH MY ARE YOU READY!! Millstone, means “VEHICLE, TEAM, A RIDER, UPPER MILLSTONE, CHARIOT, MULTITUDE, WAGON.” Hebrew Word # 7393. It comes from the Hebrew word meaning “to ride, to place upon, to dispatch, bring on horseback, carry, get oneself up on horseback, put, cause to make to ride in a chariot set! (Hebrew Word # 7392). GET READY FOR THE CHARIOTS OF GOD TO FIGHT THE ENEMY AND SEE THE SEED OF CHRIST JESUS, MESSIAH, THE WORD OF GOD COME FORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM TELLING YOU CHURCH IT IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17 The CHARIOTS OF GOD ARE TWENTY THOUSAND, EVEN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS. The Lord is among them as He was in Sinai, [so also] in the Holy Place (the sanctuary in Jerusalem). Psalm 68:17 When the phoenix strikes out against God’s people and they hide in Him; He is their strongtower and defense, God almighty brings His chariots to come against the enemy!!!! The enemy is attacking because of the righteousness of Christ Jesus that you walk in and the enlarging and swelling up of the WORD OF GOD THAT IS RESIDENT WITHIN YOU, RESIDENT AND DWELLING IN THE MINISTRY, IN THE CHURCH AND FROM THAT DWELLING PLACE LOATHING IS CAST OUT, REBELLION IS CAST OUT AND IT IS NOT BY OUR POWER OR OUR MIGHT BUT IT IS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT DELIVERANCE COMES TO SET THE CAPTIVE FREE AND IT IS BY GOD’S SPIRIT THAT THE WORD BREAKS FORTH AND BREAKS OUT OF US INTO THE NEW SEASON, THE SEASON OF SPREADING OUT, OF ENLARGEMENT, OF BREAK OUT OF BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Spirit is about to preach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ISRAEL THE NATION WAS BIRTHED BECAUSE OF THE ATTACK, BECAUSE OF THE HIT OF THE PHOENIX, TRYING TO RISE UP OUT OF THE ASHES BUT GOD NOT ONLY DISMANTLED THE HOUSE OF REBELLION BUT HE ALSO RODE ON HIS CHARIOTS TO SEE THE MANIFESTATION OF ISAIAH 66 AND THE LORD GOD BROUGHT HIS JUDGEMENT, HIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENTS THAT WOULD RULE AND REIGN IN EARTH AND INSTEAD OF NATION BEING EXTERMINATED A NATION WAS BIRTHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT LOOKED LIKE DEATH OH MY WAS RESURRECTION POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TRUE RISING UP OF THE ASHES, THE INHERITANCE OF GOD, TO RESURRECT THAT WHICH IS OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT ISAIAH 66:15 GOD'S CHARIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MILLSTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL GOD IS ABOUT TO COME DOWN FROM ON HIGH AND RENDER JUDGMENT AGAINST THE ENEMY AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS YOUR DEFEAT IS THE DOOR TO YOUR VICTORY BECAUSE IN THE VALLEY OF ACHOR (TROUBLE) THERE IS A DOOR OF HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thus says the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for Me? And what kind can be My resting-place?2 For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for Me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands. 3 [The acts of the hypocrite’s worship are as abominable to God as if they were offered to idols.] He who kills an ox [then] will be as guilty as if he slew and sacrificed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb or a kid, as if he broke a dog’s neck and sacrificed him; he who offers a cereal offering, as if he offered swine’s blood; he who burns incense [to God], as if he blessed an idol. [Such people] have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations; 4 So I also will choose their delusions and mockings, their calamities and afflictions, and I will bring their fears upon them—because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen or obey. But they did what was evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight. 5 Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word: Your brethren who hate you, who cast you out for My name’s sake, have said, Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy! But it is they who shall be put to shame. 6 [Hark!] An uproar from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord, rendering recompense to His enemies! 7 Before [Zion] travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came upon her, she was delivered of a male child. 8 Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Or shall a nation be brought forth in a moment? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the [moment of] birth and not cause to bring forth? says the Lord. Shall I Who causes to bring forth shut the womb? says your God. 10 Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her, 11 That you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breasts, that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the abundance and brightness of her glory. 12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; then you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip and trotted [lovingly bounced up and down] on her [God’s maternal] knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like green and tender grass. And the [powerful] hand of the Lord shall be revealed and known to be with His servants, but His indignation [shown] to be against His enemies. 15 FOR BEHOLD THE LORD WILL COME IN FIRE, AND HIS CHARIOTS WILL BE LIKE A STORMY WIND, TO RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FIERCENESS, AND HIS REBUKE WITH FLAMES OF FIRE 16 For by fire and by His sword will the Lord execute judgment upon all flesh, and the slain of the Lord will be many. 17 Those who [attempt to] sanctify themselves and cleanse themselves to enter [and sacrifice to idols] in the gardens, following after one in the midst, eating hog’s flesh and the abomination [creeping things] and the [mouse—their works and their thoughts] shall come to an end together, says the Lord. 18 For I know their works and their thoughts. And the time is coming when I will gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory. 19 And I will set up a [miraculous] sign among them, and from them I will send survivors to the nations—to Tarshish, Pul (Put), and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles and coastlands afar off that have not heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare and proclaim My glory among the nations. 20 And they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the Lord—upon horses and in chariots and in litters and upon mules and upon camels—to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the children of Israel bring their cereal offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21 And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says the Lord. 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth which I make shall remain before Me, says the Lord, so shall your offspring and your name remain. 23 And it shall be that from one New Moon to another New Moon and from one Sabbath to another Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, says the Lord. 24 And they shall go forth and gaze upon the dead bodies of the [rebellious] men who have stepped over against Me; for their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all mankind. ISAIAH 66:1-23 DO YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF GOD'S CHARIOTS, HIS FIERY CHARIOTS, WITH HIS HORSES????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU SEE HIS SWORD DRAWN GLORY TO GOD TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY IN THIS HOUR I AM TELLING YOU IT IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE DEATH OF YOUR BUSINESS, YOUR MINISTRY, AND OTHER AREAS OF YOUR LIFE IS ACTUALLY THE PLACE WHERE GOD DEFEATS THE ENEMY AND RESURRECTS BY THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you feel led to pray in repentance here is a prayer that you can pray: Lord God, against You and You alone have I sinned and committed the act of rebellion. God I repent of all rebellion against Your authority and ask by the power of Your Word and the power of Your Holy Spirit that you come forth to uproot all rebellion, all pride and all self-righteousness that has caused me to be at enmity with you, in Jesus Name. I ask You God to give me clean hands and a pure heart, a heart that is not defiled that does not kill my brother and sister, but rather extends mercy and love to others Oh Lord, in Jesus Name! God bring forth your spirit of Wisdom an revelation to open the eyes of my heart by flooding it with the Light of Your Word, by Your Spirit of Understanding, to bring forth Your Spirit of Knowledge to Know You, and the power of Resurrection, the power of Your Love in Christ Jesus!!!! God thank You for your cleansing power through the Blood of Christ Jesus, that cleanses all sin and provides for me mercy and grace from Your throne of Grace Oh Lord! I pray all of this in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ! Amen! A PRAYER FOR MINISTRIES: Father God I come to You in the Name of Your Son, Christ Jesus, to bring forth the Light of Your Word and expose areas in this ministry where the root of rebellion is operating. I ask You God to impart to me greater wisdom and revelation, greater understanding and greater knowledge by Your Holy Spirit to bring forth the power of Your Resurrection, through Christ Jesus by Your Holy Spirit into this ministry and cause the anointing oil to increase by exalting our horn like a wild ox and giving us the new anointing, the fresh anointing, to rise up in Your Mighty Power and Strength to stand our ground being suited in Your Armor so we will not be defeated by the enemy's attack because Christ Jesus in us has already overcome this attack!!! God we praise Your Name that You have allowed this attack of the enemy because we know that You are our strong tower and as we are hidden in the shadow of God Almighty, we are inaccessible to the enemy; You God with Your Mighty Chariots have already defeated the enemy, the root of rebellion, the phoenix and on Your Word we are committed and we stand, in the Mighty Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ! We declare Oh Lord You are a Wall of Fire around about us and the Glory in our midst and You are our wall, our Righteousness, our Rampart, with You Oh Lord we have Covenant and we call upon that Covenant in the Mighty Name of Jesus! We declare out of Your Covenant that Your peace has already crushed satan under our feet (Romans 16:20), that You have unsheathed Your Sword and slayed Leviathan (Isaiah 27:1) and that by Your Word we cast out all loathing, division, and envy and declare that Your everlasting Love is our portion, our station, that on which we are rooted securely and grounded securely in Christ Jesus! Amen!!!! I LOVE YOU AND HERE IS THE MESSAGE HOLY SPIRIT HAD ME PREACH IN SOUTH CAROLINA ON BREAKTHROUGH THAT WEEKEND WHEN IT WAS CALLED OUT OF OUR MINISTRY!!!! LINK:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8RSnvsHS-0 ADDENDUM: Last Monday March 18, 2013 I had a dream where Rich and I were walking in the water with 20 foot high waves and it was very stormy. All through the land people were garrisoning themselves to objects that were secured in the ground so they would not be blown away by the storm or the water. The next morning I got a scripture from an intercessor Isaiah 6:6, which I know very well; I preach on it all the time and as a matter fact it is in the teaching of Breakthrough I have in the link (Isaiah 6). During the dream as we were walking we saw other saints who were walking on the water and around without having to secure ourselves to other objects. Rich and I were walking on the stormy water ministering all over the nation and other nations. God then revealed to me later last week as I finished the phoenix notes regarding Isaiah 66 and the chariots of God, the chariots of God bring the storm of God and then God said a storm was coming from Him! That weekend I ministered in Virginia so on our return home to Alabama March 24th we went through the storm "Virgil" and I was alerted by a friend, Jena, regarding the upcoming storm and how it was confirmation to my post that a storm was coming by God. I realized Virgil means "flourishing" and in Isaiah 66:14 right before verse 15 which identifies the chariots of God and His storm! The Storm was a snow storm and Rich and I went through it in order to get home (pics on my wall). What is so funny though is I was leaving Virginia which means "virgin" indicating those virgins with the oil all the way full. We were coming to Alabama (thicket clearer - to prepare the way of the Lord)!!! We went through the storm "Virgil" and in God's storm, His people are going to flourish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE IN THE TIME OF BREAKTHROUGH!!!!! God then showed me Virgil was His storm whereby He opened the treasuries of His snow in heaven to pour them out and as they were opened in heaven He is opening the treasuries of the earth for His people to come into their wealthy place for His Kingdom work! God had me declaring the manifestation of His empire, His Kingdom manifesting in the bride and breakthrough for His people!
