Wielding the Word as a Sword - Spiritual Tips 8
What I want to share here today is how to make your own dynamite prayers that are tailored to your situation and better than that... contain power because you allow the Holy Spirit to guide them.
Hi Freedom 1, hearingGod.tv. I just wanted to do a short video so you can learn to use the Word of God like a sword for any circumstance in your life.
Have you ever been passed a prayer that was dynamite? Have you ever been passed one that was 'wow' to your friend, but you didn't get anything out of it? Why?
I want to encourage you to get out of the mode of searching for the 'perfect pill' of a prayer that somebody else has made that worked great for their own specific needs. You have specific needs too. Those times that a prayer is powerful for you are because it lines up with what the Holy Spirit is doing for, in and through you already.
But isn't that like putting a puzzle together? You put all the edge pieces at the perimeter... all the tree pieces in this pile.... the fence pieces in this pile... So, that prayer you may have been passed that was good, may have been in the section you' were working on, but wouldn't you always like to hit the right piece every time?
You spend time with God in prayer, well what have you two been talking about? Let me share something I did...
I was coming under attack by the enemy. I began to ask the Lord to protect me and my family. I know that I need to stand on the promises of protection in the Word of God. So I need to focus on scriptures about 'Protection'. Why focus? Because our authority increases when we believe what we profess.
So I'm using a Topical Bible to hone in on verses about 'Protection'. As I'm reading through them, I'm noting verses that are really speaking to me... and they are speaking to me with that welling conformation in my spirit because it is the Holy Spirit showing me the weapons I need.
The verses noted were:
Psalm 145:20
"The LORD keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy."
Psalm 37:17
"For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the LORD sustains the righteous."
Revelations 3:10
"Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."
Deuteronomy 33:27
"The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from before you, And said, 'Destroy!'"
Each one of these verses has powerful truth for my situation, but now I'm going to personalize it so I can speak it for myself.
As I meditated upon the scriptures, I kept seeing the enemy's arms/hands being smashed off, so in putting it all together, this is the Holy Spirit-guided prayer I came up with:
Lord God, I thank you for Your hand upon our household of faith, all we set our hands to and those in our sphere of influence.
Almighty God, through the power of Your Son, Jesus' shed blood, I command that the arms of the enemy be broken and utterly destroyed, for You preserve and uphold us-- the righteous that trust in You.
I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen
Short, sweet and powerful for our need at that time. We all came into agreement and prayed that prayer together as a family. And as a family, we overcame.

Spiritual Warfare
What is
Spiritual Warfare, why do we need it? Why would Jesus tell us to bind
and loose if He took care of it all at the cross? I'll be sharing the
importance of the application... the appropriation for what Jesus did
here on this episode of hearingGod.
Spiritual warfare is the
next step for a spirit-filled, born again overcomer. It is one thing to
believe the promises of God, but an overcomer steps into the ministry
of Jesus... doing what He did, and even 'greater works than these'.
Spiritual warfare is simply
the implementation or the applying of the blood of Jesus, and the
application, with authority, regarding of the word of God. It is you
saying 'I only do what I see the Father doing'. It is NOT in running
around picking fights with the devil... which is a dangerous contrivance
of the flesh. If God doesn't lead, you will not succeed!
A spiritual warrior
realizes what this statement means: "Forgive them Father, for they know
not what they do". That we war not against flesh and blood, but
powers and principalities... that evil spirits influence people, cities
and nations... and that we, in the power of His blood, have His
authority to bind the demonic from operating, and loose the things that
align with the Spirit of God here on earth.
When a person can
understand that humans are influenced by spirits, fear can be overcome.
"What can man do to me?" (Psa 56:11, Psa 118:6) This of course does
not make us 'above the law' of common sense... If we stray away from
seeking His will and in doing only what we see the Father doing... we
will reap the consequences of presumption.
I have an experience to share...
I don't have the luxury of
getting out much, so when a co-worker of my husband offered to babysit
and paid for our dinner, we were elated. We went out & had a
blast. The next day my younger son was telling me how the co-worker
kept badgering my older son about getting a girlfriend.
Whoops! Maybe we were a
little too excited to get out of the house in that we forgot to do some
spiritual house-cleaning before we left the kids with this co-worker.
And this is part of spiritual warfare... realizing that we cannot allow
presumption to reign over our actions. True, the person isn't like a
child molester or anything... but all people are eligible to be
influenced by spirits. Presumption was to let this guy watch our kids
and trust that everything would just turn out fine, but as a spiritual
warrior we must 'know better'-- we have to first seek God's plan... not
our selfish desire to get out of the house and have a nice dinner.
So in seeking God about it,
I was led into a teaching moment with our children. I was able to
instruct them about what the bible says, and then set that next to the
visible behavior of the co-worker, the inordinate fascination with women
or a spirit of 'lust', so they could see that it was a spiritual
issue. I was able to explain the difference between being able to cast a
spirit out vs. binding the spirit, because if a spirit is welcome...
it's their choice.... we cannot make it for them. BUT, we do have
authority to bind and loose! So I was able to equip my kids that if in a
situation where they recognize a spirit beginning to manifest... how
they can deal with it, by binding it from operation.
Think of the foreign
countries that hand the kids a rifle and put them on the line... on the
same token, don't you dismiss the power of a praying child for one
moment... you need to teach them how to overcome-- how to be that arrow
in your quiver. This is important... Mom & Dad aren't always going
to catch everything.
So can you see the
spiritual warfare in all of this? We can't bury our heads in the sand
and go into fear living in the world... we have to believe that we are
above only and never beneath. (Deu 28:13)
What about things bigger
than spiritual influences on people? Do you cry out over the
abominations in the land? (Eze 9:4 ) Do you know you can make a
difference?
Deu 11:24 "Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours..."
When you see areas of depravity in your city or neighborhood, it is the physical sign of a spiritual problem.
And, I want to give some
credence to the term "territorial spirits"....Even in the Word we see
clearly that the demonic can set in some tent pegs in a locale and reek
all sorts of havoc. In Daniel 10:13 we see that principalities rule
territorially, because of the tell-tale kingship title: "But the prince
of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one
of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with
the king of Persia."
What gives that prince and
power of the air more authority to hold the people in bondage even
more?....What people welcome, is welcomed...if they dive into sin, and
lose their conscience and openly embrace evil... evil is what will
reign. But God raises a standard. (“When the enemy shall come in like a
flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall raise a standard against him”
Isaiah 59:19.)
Again, if you are sighing
& crying... it's perhaps because God is raising you up. So let's
talk strategy. Prayer walking, or prayer driving is a way to bring in
the Spirit of God to (Psa 110:1)"...make thine enemies thy footstool."
Again, this is taking the Word of God to heart... believing it and
implementing it. Does this mean to abandon all common sense and go
walking in the darkest part of town? No, again... if you ask, Yeshua
you'll find out what to do.
My husband and I have
amazing testimony of psychic shops and hidden prostitution rings
shutting down because of the burden we had in our locale. We've
prayer-walked New Age fairs and witchcraft purveyors finding their hocus
pocus to naught for the day, including tibetan 'art' ceremonies that
openly boast that they invoke a deity or deities----hmmm, a 'gate of
hell', perhaps?
Even my young son can
praise Jesus because one day he and Dad were led to prayer walk a
different area (at my son's leading) and they found out the next day,
that in that area they walked, a child on a bike was hit with a car, but
no bad came of it. My son marveled... in that the enemy desired to
shed innocent blood, but by the simple prayer of this little one HE
heard and dispatched His angels!
Binding and loosing... you
betcha.... you are the living ark of the covenant, the Holy fire-bottle
of the presence of God. You are all about what the 'gap' needs to be
filled with to bridge the Spirit of God across. (Eze 22:30 And I sought
for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the
gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found
none.)
What about things even
bigger than what I'd call 'territorial deliverance'? What about 'the
nation' or nations, or people groups that need to be free? If the Lord
puts a burden on your heart... go to your prayer closet and pray and ask
God. I believe there are a great many of intercessors and prophets out
there that aren't blossoming their gift because they are waiting on
their church or prayer circle of friends to feel that burden or because
of that burden are ignored or chastised. I tell you to go to that place
in secret and pray, and be obedient. Do as the Father leads because
those around you may never 'get it'.
We are not in happy
club-mode people... to serve Him is not the popular thing because man
likes to get the credit. God is looking for warriors with hearts
completely sold out to Him... ones that sigh and cry, ones that care for
all mankind... not just the ones that we like. We need to be in
get-as-close-to-Elohim-as-possible, mode!

Escaping the Pressure
Escaping the Pressure
When you walk in being an
overcomer life radically changes. You begin to be challenged on every
front. The pressure builds not only from the enemy, but God's purifying
fire as well, because it's how we escape the pressure that determines
our 'peace' in Him.
What is this pressure that
we have to endure?! You know what I'm talking about... the financial
leaps of faith, the physical attacks on our bodies, any relationships we
have... absolutely everything needs covered in prayer now. You find
yourself repeating that line from the 'matrix' saying "Why, why didn't I
take the blue pill?" At times the intensity so great and no 'seasons
of refreshing' in sight...we long to escape the pressure.
This is for all of you out
there actively taking authority over every principality and power for
the Lord Jesus Christ. If you're not slamming this stuff at His
direction beneath His footstool, this program isn't for you...you just
won't understand. If I could write the day to day details of my
life...doing all the mundane requirements of life, the prayer shielding,
caring for my family, the targets that the Lord has shown me to hit,
the dominions I'm in the process of taking, the spiritual battles in the
night and seeking the Lord in His word and finding the quiet time alone
with Him Alone.... it could make a good tv mini series.
As you go on deeper with
God more is required of you. Your life must become like that Indiana
Jones and the Holy Grail movie....where Indy was standing at that
precipice... having done all things...with nothing left to do except for
trusting what the instruction hint was... to go out in Faith. And also
notice in that movie that the whole while the enemy was right next to
him... that's how it is for us. Each step of the way the pressure is
right there and we are called to live by faith in the word.
I want to go deeper now in
illustrating this whole pressure and escapism thing, because it'll
really get you to evaluate some of these weak points in your own life.
I'm gonna use the example
of alcohol for this visual, but you need to take the precepts behind it
to examine your own escapism.

Manifestation Power
A teaching for 'the remnant'...you know who you are!
It
used to bug me when, some nights, I'd go to sleep and the fan blades
would be in a perfect pentagram symbol over my head. I'd stand up on
the bed and give the blades a quarter-turn and then blame the devil for
doing that on purpose. After a while of doing this (and despising the
chore itself) God began to teach me how silly this routine was, how
powerful He is...and how that same power we have access to....that
manifestation power granted to us through Jesus can be be maligned by
the enemy to work against us.
See, there's no power in
that fan-shape configuration....I believed a lie the enemy was
whispering & allowed fear to come in...I granted him that access to
have power when I agreed with the fear he was dishing out. And in
agreeing with anything the devil dishes out...you might as well be
handing him the keys to the convertible.
A few years ago I found out
that church steeples were actually birthed from pagan buildings that
converted to churches. The steeple itself actually representing a
phallic symbol! Does that make all churches bearing that evil? Again,
silliness!
And recently, over the
internet, I see people arguing what the 'proper' name for God is....and
that if you don't say it 'right' your 'god' is the devil. How nuts is
that?
What about children
celebrating the resurrection of Jesus and calling it 'Easter'? Why
condemn? Does it really matter if it's called the feast of blah,
blah...isn't what God does is look upon the heart of man? I just find
it amazing how this legalistic spirit invades the body of Christ.
That's what it is folks....it's a 'spirit', and let me tell you....it's
not of Him.
I'm not worried about
anyone in the enemies camp, or people that just don't know Jesus, yet
this legalistic spirit will damn you if you associate with such people,
or even believers not of the same flock as yourself. It's a spirit,
that if you'd be wise and test....is one that robs your liberties and
ices the heart afire for God--it's a freedom-robbing chant...that mantra
of control, of bondage, of condemnation. It is the same choking
spirit that ultimately murdered Jesus...yet people today do not take
those scriptures of old and apply their precepts into life today.
We each have manifestation
power through the power of our words. Everyone on the planet has access
to this whether chanting witches, buddhist monks or praying believers.
God created all things with the breath of His Word. This has not
passed away and whether we go through Jesus or we find some back door in
accessing it, it is available to all. What we believe, we achieve.
But what is the difference between non-believers and believers when it
comes to manifestation power? [sing] There's power in the name of
Jesus!
Let us roll out the Enemy's Map...
Consider the military and
it's operation...even in this recent event where the prisoners were
freed from Bogata after 6 years of captivity. How were they freed?
They were freed because the enemy forces were invaded undetected. They
were compromised. So understand this spiritual war we are in. In that
opposite scenario, the enemy is invading the 'church' unnoticed &
undetected.
How does the enemy mock
God? How does the enemy have the most damaging power? By taking
anything of God's and perverting and possessing it. In the camps of
the enemy the premise is simple...get people whom have an anointing,
professing the name of Jesus and walking in manifestation
power...capture it and use it against the saints of the most high. They
ultimately shout "Kill Jesus!"
People that don't know
Jesus....I love...the Word of God does not return void and if they are
searching seed plants very easily....I am more concerned by people who
profess Jesus as Lord....but have this religious spirit that comes in
His name but is not at all. It is a religious spirit that is the worst
thing out there. It's the most dangerous of deceptions. People trust
in men that have been leavened by this cruel spirit, and no longer watch
for good fruit...no longer seek the spirit of God in their prayer
closets. They become a leavened mass of prayer against the true Spirit
of God. Essentially witchery using the power in the name of Jesus. Your
false prophets and teachers warned about in the last days.
So the examples I gave in
the very beginning are some of the triggers of a religious
spirit....let's get back to identifying a religious spirit and the wool
that it pulls over a believer's eyes.
In my very first examples,
whether it's a shape, and image an event--It's not anything that God has
created that is bad it's what has been perverted and by what power we
attribute to them. It's the same premise of scripture...for one man
it's sin...to another it's not...if one BELIEVES the religious spirit,
it IS under it's grip. Jesus can only relieve your burdens as you
surrender them. Your own mind decides how far you will go on with God.
It's because we are alllll
under a process of deprogramming, if you've been in or are in, a 'church
of the box'. We also all have inherited curses and demons with legal
access from the sins of our forefathers that are continually surfaced.
And these are difficult if you've lived with them your whole
life...you've never known freedom from them so you don't realize you are
beneath them. The blood of Jesus can only wash away what you allow it
to...sure, salvation is secured but you control how many burdens you
carry in this life. When we've had such an access point for the
enemy....think of it like a worn path or a door where the clasp isn't as
secure....for those things we have to really come to the feet of Jesus
constantly to help w/ that burden....it's familiar & we are too
weak.
How can we know if we have a
religious spirit or spirits? The first thing to pay attention to, are
your thoughts. Have you had damning thoughts about this teaching or an
overcast of negativity about it? Did you know that not every thought
is your own? Your thought life is a war zone. If you're severely
agitated, that is good...we are uncovering something. Remember...some
of our access points are older then we are...if we've never looked
outside of a cave to see there's a blue sky...everything within us will
reject that the blue sky exists because we tend to believe only what we
know. Any spirit that has that worn path in our soul is going to fight
with all it's got because it doesn't want to leave it's comfy home....so
to plant thoughts of offense or any other odd thing to get you in
accord to reject the blue sky is something you are charged to pay
attention to. Remember the enemy's map for perspective..
I have a basic test for
you....would it offend you if i wrote merry x-mas instead of
Christmas?....remember all the 'christian' uprising about people that
use the 'x' =taking 'Christ' out of christmas...all birthed by a
religious spirit, agreed upon by the brainwashed masses...God help the
person that used it as shorthand...need i go on? Really, it's
ridiculous...the root is judgement...the telltale of a religious spirit.
So if this whole x-mas thing offends it is a religious spirit. Does
the notion of 'speaking in tongues' offend you? Same thing...believe me
the bible is true in it's entirety, & the enemy wants you trapped
in that cave.
