Witnessing to Children at Christmas-time


Couldn't be a better time to share the love of Jesus than in the glowing, festive season of expectation that Christmas brings with it.  And Christmas is definitely about giving... so I have a wonderful outreach idea for blessing children, that includes a free PDF you can print out.

The bare bones...
This is basically a 'be excellent in character' message from Jesus that incorporates a future hope along with the reason for Christmas. The 'character' theme is fun because we will be including a lego 'character kit' as part of the gift.

It is designed "2-up" and will be printed on both sides, cut in half and folded "card style".

The Message...
(Here is the body of the message included in the PDF):
I know Christmas is my birthday celebration, and usually the birthday boy is the one who gets the cards.  But I wanted to give you something in this very special season because you are very special to me.
It is a 'busy-busy' season, but we can learn a lot from the wise men that visited me on my birthday.  They stopped their worldly activities, sought the Savior, and offered a special gift to me.
Just as Christmas decorations make our homes pretty, so our lives can be beautiful when they are “decorated” with 'godly character' such as kindness, love, giving, faithfulness, gentleness, contentment and respect for others.
On that first Christmas morning, I may have been just a baby, but I had you in mind. Long before you were born, I knew you.  I came because I love you.  Just like there is a plan for this fun character you build… I have a great plan for you! Here is a special word from Me to you:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”  John 14:1-3
Someday we will meet face to face.  Until then, keep building godly character.  Have a very Merry Christmas.
Love,  Jesus

Things you will need:
• Preferably yellow copy paper, cardstock weight if you can.
• A lego or lego-style mini character kit
• Christmas treat bag

*Note:  I used a 'knock-off' of lego to keep the costs down.  I was able to find them sold in lots of '10' (bulk) on ebay.  We wrote "Merry Christmas" and my son signed his name before we taped the lego kit down... so it's like a nice surprise found after the kit is removed.

I simply tape the lego 'character kit' on the inside of the card.
An Encourager...
It's getting harder and harder to speak "Jesus" in schools today so I'm always on the look-out for ways to keep the door open.  In my case, the school ships the kids in a bus on fridays to the church across the street for "Religious Enrichment"... an opt program that must be parent-approved, and YAY, it's just Christian.  Every kid in the class has consent & goes to it! But that is my back up plan....we are going to try our "Building Good Character" gift as an elementary school Christmas party gift.  Where will you use it?  Homeless shelters, neighborhood kids, those once-a-year visitors at your Christmas church services... be creative!

I want to encourage any of you... especially if you are in an 'easy' community that hasn't succumbed to the pressures of atheistic culture, and if everyone is just fine with Jesus... to not be afraid to let the majority rule.  Make it known to the PTA that real Christmas songs are important to you & not white-washed 'holiday' mumbo jumbo.  Vie for the contested live nativity in the next town.  Encourage carolers and be a cocoa or snack stop for them.  There is so much we can do to spread the joy and message of Jesus our Emmanuel. It is only going to close up and clamp down more and more and the world needs you to stand for Jesus... for these little ones that need to HEAR.

Q: How does one receive healing prayers?

Q:  How does one receive healing prayers?


A:  A very short question…I'm not sure of what angle this question was presented,  but I will suggest many things….

1.) Position your heart for healing

….healing only happens by faith. Sometimes its by the faith of the one doing the praying & sometimes the recipient, but we know one of the 2 has to have faith! We know that "faith comes by hearing & hearing by the Word…" (Romans 10:17), so get in the Word to gain faith for the healing.

2.) Conform to Christ Jesus
… .another imploring to read the Word.  We have to believe what the Word says to be an heir of it.  No matter the topic…but since this is healing…gather up healing scriptures like these:
…. and meditate on them over & over.  When you begin to believe the truth you will get excited in the Word and the fire from it fuels your prayer.  And we know the prayer of a righteous one avails much! (James 5:16)

3.) Praise & worship
....let the excitement cross over into adoration…anticipation of the promised truth…after all, HE is Worthy!  Praise attracts God’s presence. He is drawn to where He is welcomed.  If 'by His stripes we are healed', then we can fixate on how we'd be Praising Him for the manifestation of the healing. So start now!

4.) Relationship
…. just a moment ago the Lord gave me a lil' vision for you… He showed me an invited stranger bursting into a formally seated banquet & demanding healing.  No, it doesn't work that way….first are introductions, gratefulness for being invited….giving the host a gift (your heart) and then casual talking & mingling….. and so on.  Sometimes we need to put on God's shoes & apply what we know of Him==knowing His terms, what He expects & then apply to how we like to be treated etc.
It's like getting an invitation to a scavenger hunt with the promised reward of a pot of gold.  We can stand there and demand our gold all day long, but the prize only comes in following the instruction (the Word)…going from clue to clue to the end…whilst the demanding fool had the same opportunity, but gets nothing by belligerently standing there.  
….but back to the banquet scenario:
….If we gave an invitation to all, we'd still expect to get to know people in relationship.  Someone barreling in demanding---even if the Word says we are heir….LOL, we have to act like heirs, not vigilantes!  It's how love is proven.  We can't only go the motions to get something…real love is give and take, sacrifice & surrender.

5.) Asking others to pray for you
 ….but really WITH you as you are pressing in, in relationship with God.  Hey, it's biblical!
This can be within your church fellowship/family and beyond. 


I created a forum to encourage group interaction... 
you can post a request on the forum at:  theironsmiths.com






There are people that naturally have the 'gift of healing'… seeking those types out if they visit your area or to go visit them….(the laying on of hands type of thing), is definitely an option as well.  Just pray to God and listen to what He impresses upon you to do.  To hop from healing evangelist to the next as a 'groupie' more than pressing in to God isn't so much 'relationship building' with the one who is the source of all healing, a?  Perhaps God will tell you "No.", about getting prayer that route, but rest assured His way is the best way.

6.) Perseverance
….He wants all the souls.  He wants us eternally.  We don't want to be as a beggar that rejects the mansion for the immediate handout, so the process is a refining one.  The goal isn't in getting our healing & then move on… what we go through becomes the testimonial to encourage those that WE will then lay hands on to recover.

7.) Believe!
We are to heal the sick, raise the dead and deliver in His name, in the 'big picture', so while you are pressing in for yourself, start RIGHT NOW, in practicing the truth.  If we decide we won't take up those promises until we are healed, the enemy will target that lie, and healing may never come because of 'conditions' we've placed upon God.  But, if we focus and implement the truth in believing for others, we are fueling faith and our own healing shall not be far off!

"...For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"



You know... we are STILL doing that PA, Power and Love Series.... every time we do a long car ride with the kids. In the last one it was kind of profound because Todd White talked about what he believed Paul's 'thorn in the flesh' was. Didn't believe sickness was it (I don't think many of us overcomers 'buy' that view anyhow, Lol).... Todd stated he believes the thorn is persecution.
Let's consider the basis of one of the very first things prophesied of paul in the scripture... the Lord said he was called to suffer..

"..for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.” Acts 9:16
Watch the clip from 1:12:07 to 1:15:20...



Attitude Adjustment...
Ponder with me on this is a bit of 'wow'... hit the nail on the head..., and let's change our attitude a bit.

There are a great many of us standing & fighting & yet feeling gut-punched because we know the Word is true-- we walk it/live it, but we just continue to feel 'slugged'... and a bit of sadness shrugs over us.
But changing perspective like Paul did, can be a game-changer for us. When we change perspective...not only does the hope begin to flood, but you can see the honor in your suffering and persecution.

2 Corinthians 12:8 "Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."

Victorious Mindset...
Does anyone really wake up in the morning and think... "What I do today is impacting and changing the world tomorrow for Jesus Christ"? How many slumbering warriors are out there missing this vision? How many are taking the punches and going into pity-party mode....creeping into-a-hole mode, instead of shouting "GLORY!"? There are MANY.

It's a hamster wheel of non-efficacy.

Sure it's not fun... even Jesus asked that the cup be removed... and it's okay to desire a lighter load, but are we retreating as sand or a rock that stands unbroken?

John 18:11 "...the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?'”

You Must Prophesy...
If you've found yourself relating to sand...pity parties and retreating to a hole... I have a small smooth stone to take down that goliath mindset in your life.  It's simply agreeing with the Word of truth.  If it's not there and you speak what is true... you are prophesying it.  And does it return void???  The catch is, is that you MUST speak it.  How does faith come? 
I can sit here and know all kinds of scripture and sit in a hole of sadness or I can fight and speak it out boldly for heaven, for earth and under the earth to hear.  As I speak it out, my listening ears hear and faith grows. 

Acceptance...

Did you know that the reason for persecution is so that we would be separated from the world?

John 15:18-21  “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me."

What is the goal and purpose of this short life?  Is it about ourselves, our own accomplishments... whoever has the most toys.... LOL.  No, of course not... it's about refining for our completeness in relationship and ultimate purpose in God's plan.  Our hearts are truly restless until they rest in our creator.  In heaven, there will no longer be a 'God-shaped' hole in our hearts.  So although we don't feel, or taste, touch or experience the more lofty and comfortable promises of the Word, we can know we are doing just fine.  We're just 'fitting in' the world to come more-so then this place... and that's where we WANT to be!  With that in mind, we can thank Him for the great things we are doing that we cannot comprehend in our current bout of persecution.  We can press onward boldly, knowing it's just not about us, but who can we take with us?
“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."  Matthew 5:10

Struggles with Emotional Healing and Deliverance

A lot of emotional healing is forgiving others, forgiving self, and not holding God accountable for an event happening (ie. blaming Him).  I suggest in my videos about writing down all the hurts, & the ones that still get a rise out of your emotions are the ones that still need worked on…. then crumble up the paper, continue to pray & try writing them again another month.  If you’ve done this and get no emotional rise, meaning no one is longer to blame or being blamed… and you're STILL having problems, then it’s likely a self made stronghold (a deception in ones own mind).

It all starts with identity.  After we’ve declared, repented, shut doors etc., we just need to ‘be’ who He says we are ("Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm." Eph. 6:13), and trust and believe it is so.  Is who He says we are louder in our identity, or are we allowing the voice of the enemy to gang up with our carnal nature and solidify a wrong or negative belief?

When counseling people via email, I have the bonus of seeing a person's plea all written out.  As I view what they write, it is as if the negative confessions and wrong beliefs rise up above the page as if a billboard of their identity. ("…for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart." Luke 6:45c)

This is key….if we are focusing more on the past & building up that as a root because of not seeing ‘instant results’… then we make an access point in that confession.  Read that a few times to let it sink in…I don’t know how to say it better.  When I see the 'bad past' and 'negative statements' appear over and over, I know it's a well-worn path that's not from a kingdom that Jesus hails from.  We could be free but we trap ourselves in doubt etc. because we have deceived ourselves in expecting fireworks and a flash in the pan.  

After having done our due diligence, we are to stand.  In the ‘standing’ we are focusing on the Word and relationship with God.  A lot of people that have kicked evil spirits out….when satan comes back knocking, is able to deceive them into thinking he’s never left.  He’ll always come back and we have to stand.  We have to rebuke him and stand in that we’ve done everything to appease legalism and we stand, even painfully so as he spits in our face…but he can no longer slug us.  If we believe that spitty backlash more than the truth then he’ll gain free reign to slug us by our own deception…that’s why renewing our mind in the Word is the only way & IS the answer we give to the enemy every time he comes back spitting.

Here is a cool testimony I was recently sent….note in it the 'war with flesh' and 'self' mindsets that the person admitted and triumphed over:
Something life-changing happened to me a few days ago & since you were the willing vessel who enabled me to receive it, I want to share this with you in hopes you'll be blessed by it! Here's my testimony :) 
I was born again @ age 9 & baptized @ age 12. I'm in my early fifties now. Have been walking with Christ Jesus through the years (more in prodigal mode in my youth), presently seeking Him, His Will & earnestly desiring the deeper things of God. Recently He impressed upon me that I needed to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as I'd only been operating in the Baptism of Water/Repentance. 
About that time, I found your channels & subbed. On 01/04/14, I asked the Lord for discernment & then watched your video on how to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as evidenced by speaking in tongues. 
You said something VERY important that I'd never heard anyone mention before. You said: "your FLESH will NOT want to do it!" (speak in tongues). This brief statement made all the difference! THAT WAS IT - the problem, the reason I'd been reluctant to receive this gift all these years, was because of my flesh! I grew up in the Southern Baptist church, ones that did not operate in the Spiritual gifts. So I'd been confused, fearful, reluctant in the past, since I'd never seen the gifts in action...& wasn't really sure what I might be "getting into ..." (~ my pride & ignorance) 
I rebuked my flesh in prayer & at that instant, I began speaking in tongues!
I simply can't express what has happened since! In the natural, nothing changed. No bells rang, I didn't shake or shout or "feel" any different. I simply began to speak in tongues while in prayer. 
I believe God gave me this gift now (at the new year), because I was at the end of my "rope of hope." I could not bear the thought of another year or more on this Earth. I told God in all honesty, that if He wanted me to go on, something would have to change. Well, that "something" was me, HE CHANGED ME! THANKS BE TO GOD FOR HIS UNSPEAKABLE GIFT! 
Now I truly understand why in Ephesians 6:18 we are instructed to "... pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."

So if you've been seeking deliverance and emotional healing for a long time, take account of allllll the things you were delivered of… get out a notepad.  Discern if you’ve allowed your mind to deceive itself, ("But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.” James 1:6) then repent, revoke, renounce and claim it was valid and begin standing.  This Derek Prince video is a perfect example of the fight:


You may also want to spend a day writing down your thought-life too, so you can line them up next to the Word.  The enemy could be feeding you lies & here you've always just thought it was yourself; but you have to be ‘real’ with whatever doesn’t line up with the truth.  

You’ll never know unless you put those areas under a microscope and that does takes work….diligence….but in doing so, you’ll identify what’s you, what’s the enemy & when the holy spirit is breaking through.  If the enemy has essentially trained us 'wrong' for so long, it will take effort to conform to Christ Jesus and take on His identity… so let the retraining begin.  No more broken record of the past… speak identity and promise and life when those thoughts, actions, and feelings swell. Do not repeat the enemy's lies (oh the past this, the past that), but thank God, assure Him and remind Him that He gets to deal with it ("For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matt. 11:30), and to him that asks, you can be sure that HE Will! (Ask, Seek, Knock - Matt. 7:7-12)

Spiritual Warfare Dreams


"It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.” Joel 2:28 (Acts 2:17)



This is for those that have received baptism in the Holy Spirit and are now showing up on the enemy’s radar as you are beginning to move in POWER. (“…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you..” Acts 1:8a)

Dreams can come from three sources: the demonic realm, the soulish realm (our own mind and emotions) or from God's Holy Spirit— But i have good news for you… if you are abiding in the Lord, you have nothing to fear regarding dreams tainted by or from satan.  The nightscape can indeed be your most notable form of spiritual warfare as you begin to move in Power, remembering that, “..our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 
(*FYI This video is an upgrade from my video called:  Warrior Intel)

So I had a major dreamscape revelation when we relocated to a new city.  I realized a sequence of the same night battles I had already experienced in the same order that they happened, but at a much advanced rate!  What took years before was now flashing in weeks and months. Mind you, satan is not Omniscient (all knowing), Omnipotent (all powerful), or Omnipresent (ability to be everywhere at all times).  And so that is exactly what was happening in this new territory… I was seen as a threat, but they had to know ‘how much of a threat’ by running me through their local ranks.

Why so quick the second time?  Well, when my spiritual eyes first opened I hadn’t enough experience to implement ‘binding and loosing’.
Matthew 16:19, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
However, by our move, I had become quite the spiritual policewoman.

Important strategy….
Learn to use your authority!  If you’ve received the baptism  in the Holy Spirit, by golly, you have POWER and Authority in Jesus’ name.  After every attack, immediately bind and cast the attacking spirits to the footstool of Jesus.  if you don’t, the same ones can come back more and more equipped because each time they’ve went back to share their intel and get new orders from the chain of satanic command.  Do you want them to get a time out with their coach to discuss new ‘plays’ or would you rather take out the quarterback and they have no clue what to do next??
When you exercise authority, they disappear from the enemy’s camp, being sent to Jesus for judgement (The Lord said to my Lord, "sit at my right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." Psalm 110:1 (Matthew 22:44, Mark 12:36, Luke 20:43, Hebrews 1:13, Hebrews 10:13  Acts 2:35)
Even so, other demons with similar assignments may be sent against you… the enemy is watching your fruit & if you are failing in temptations or whatever in the day, they aren’t going to expend higher ranks if you won’t cleanse and go higher. 

Many people cry out about all the night demonic attacks & profess ‘doing everything’,  and yet during the day they are secretly engaged in dirty jokes, coarse jesting, peeking at porn or keeping bad company.  If you are using your authority but not conforming to Christ Jesus, I imagine it’s like a hostage crisis… you bind it & cast it… you continue to sin…satan points that out to God… and does that demon get out of jail free and maybe bring some others along with him to turn up the attacks?
*Note: ABIDE in the Lord Jesus Christ for results...
a·bide [uh-bahyd] Show IPA verb, a·bode or a·bid·ed, a·bid·ing.
verb (used without object)
1.
to remain; continue; stay: Abide with me.
2.
to have one's abode; dwell; reside: to abide in a small Scottish village.
3.
to continue in a particular condition, attitude, relationship, etc.; last.
Before I get into talk about rank and sequence, I want to talk about making your home your safe-place and axing any gained access the enemy may have to legally go before God to torment you. 

The enemy gains access by sin.  So it is first and foremost that we abide in the Lord in order to be covered under His hand of protection.  I encourage you to check out the Spiritual Housecleaning Series so you can focus on cleaning any access you may not realize is a gaping spiritual hole for the enemy to jump right on in.  We can’t be so dull to only look at what we believe are ‘big sins’ and say “I’m not doing ‘that’, I’m just fine.”, No… there is much to look at in way of true repentance, forgiveness, soul ties, healing soul wounds, generational curses and things we’ve picked up over the years that are idols and or cursed objects.

After we clean up ourselves, we clean up our surroundings ("Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs.” Isaiah 54:2).
We ask God to reveal the shedding of any innocent blood, any evil events past or present that the blood of Jesus must cover and break it’s authority over our property and then we go as led from there.
Prayer-walk your borders, anoint, consecrate, invite the angels in…. ask Jesus what to do.

Bring the presence of God in by creating an atmosphere of Praise, Worship and Thanksgiving…
The psalmist David said, “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.” Psalms 9:1-3

and remember, Romans 10:17 “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”, so by being in the word , surrounded by it and professing it, it becomes your effective two-edged sword of the spirit (Hebrews 4:12).

At bedtime…
Pray and take authority over all that is yours and invite God’s warring angels to protect you (“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Hebrews 1:14)
Playing bible-based praise and worship music or the scriptures being read at a low volume all night long is something we’ve done, because the Word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11).

Levels of Attack…

Frontliners….
Fleshly - ie. Incubus and Succubus
I’m not going to go into depth because I have a great video on this very subject.  These either tempt into sexual dreams, or rape.
Pt 3 Birds, Bees, 'Coming of Age', What Happens Spiritually?
(If you engage in the sexual encounters, deliverance from a spirit of lust etc. needs to happen, pray and seek the Lord on that … deliverance edu is in the Spiritual Housecleaning series
You also must WANT to be delivered:
'Pleasure Spirits' - You Have to Want Them Gone to be Delivered

Terror - Deal with intimidation…. suppression, ‘can’t breathe’, chasing, some alien abduction stuff — evoking FEAR.

Programming - These sort of dreams can happen at any level but I wanted to put them in with the frontliners simply because this should be an easy one if you’re actively training in taking every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ Jesus.
As an example…I had a dream where there was a quick view of an alive, but rotten torso…. as if a hunk of meat.  Dreams like these are attempts at trying to program your day with a negative attitude.
It was ‘disgusting’ and so you know how someone will say something during the day and your response may be over-reactive to the point of belittling another?…. well, that’s what this ‘disgust’ thing was trying to do.
And  think of the many ways to program for a negative outlook… but He tells us to choose life, to hope the best in all people and so on in the Word.

A note on Astral Projection….
Those in witchcraft can tap into demonic spiritual travel and join in with satan’s attacks to spy upon us, attack us in the night and intimidate. Real spiritual into the physical phenomena is noticed.  Attacks are felt in the dreamscape and can even be noted in the natural by things missing, moved around, turned on/off… like demons do but the world calls them ‘ghosts’.  They can also be a reason for ‘portals’, which I’ll mention later on.
 
What can you do if you think it may be an astral occultist attack?  Ask the Lord.  I can share that when I’ve prayed and asked, I will often see ‘cords’ or ’strands’ in the spirit…. people often refer to this scripture:
from Ecclesiastes 12:6:  “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.”
Perhaps that’s the scripture the Lord gave them, I don’t know….but my advice to you is if when you pray, you see things in the spirit, you simply deal with them.  If you see fiery darts, call them down…. if you see strands, cut them in the name of Jesus and declare what the blood of Jesus has done for you, whether you are actively in the dreamscape or immediately waking up. 

Don’t say, “I forget my dreams!”, or “I never remember to call on Jesus”… TRAIN up, soldier!  Profess life and train your mind for war!

Attacks from occultists…
most will happen as a more frontliner attack because hardline occultists don’t like to mess with Christians with authority…. because it’s disastrous to them.  Occultists have testified that they’ve had friends die from going on astral attacks because a christian has commanded the cord be cut.  Soul cut from body…. not a good thing.

I have an example of an occultist attack… as an attempt to harm our finances… I knew by the spirit, by dreams and by comments on a video I did that an occultist was targeting me.  I called a warfare session with my family and then that night I had a dream.  In it, I could see the warlock and his thriving business.  He was actually having a special celebration and invited the community for a kind of open house. The T.V. station was there and newspaper reporters, as it was a big event.
When it came time for him to speak at the podium, the demons he was possessed with manifested, in that he didn’t get to say what he wanted to the people, but instead the demons invited everyone to help themselves to all his product.  There was a rush and pandemonium as the crowd took everything and because the news was there recording everything, there was nothing he could do.  He was ruined.
Because he was agreeing with satan to attack our finances, and because we exerted our authority in Jesus… it was his finances that were destroyed. 
It is not a ‘light thing’ to come after a born-again, spirit-filled believer with authority in Messiah Jesus!

Let’s move on from the Frontliners…..
When you become a Threat, the attacks elevate…
The Team-
A group of 10-15 demons that stage events to see your reactions.  If they get too close, they appear to morph or 'melt':
Psalm 68:2
"As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish before God."
Team Leader -
The team's leader will use intimidation and force...things are felt!

Lab Intimidation -
This is more of the alien abduction type of thing… often veiled more because they know if you see them, then you’ll bind and cast them.  So the approach is more mysterious.  You may feel suppressed, like you are tied down to a gurney, and figures will be there and and doing things either to you or around you… but low key and you can bet they are checking you for Fear.
I have an example:
In my dream I had a closeup of hand holding a black cylinder and pushing into my left hip/socket area & when it did it was like an electric shock & made me wake up.  Didn't hurt when I got up but it was mysterious enough that I puzzled over it more than taking spiritual authority over the situation…. and this leads me to the next attack type….

Deception/Probes -

satan can come as an angel of light, right?  Well, that’s the theme here…. In the past you may have felt pure evil approach you in a dream, but in these you will not feel overt evil to warn your senses.  During these, I’ve neither felt a good or bad sensation.   Do you feel good or bad sitting next to a toaster?  Well, no…. so you can see how they get intel from you without getting exposed.
    Portals  These are like spying 'mirrors'... one looked like a black and white circular static screen.
    Machines  Like the Lab intimidation… I’ve also experienced being in a room with a machine of some sort but no figures.  I’ve also awoken to see neon-flashing machines above my head in my bedroom.  With machines and portals…. because they are being controlled, there is a ‘lag time’ in turning them off.   There were 2 occasions where in waking to the flashing machines over my head, I could really look at them for awhile.  I can only imagine that as I’m binding up the enemy, that others are having to scramble and turn the machine off… and fearfully so…. not also wanting to receive judgement.

Assassins/Violence-  This dream, I found as a one time event…. also corroborated with two other Christians I am close to.  It is a super violent, gory experience, not for the weak.  It is a staged event where assassins suddenly assault and you find yourself killing these creatures with your bare hands.  I am not sure if it’s like we have super-human strength or that our authority in the spirit realm is awesome or that these things are so expendable… but just in grabbing them it’s like your hands just rip through them and blood and yuck is everywhere.
Matt. 11:12 "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.”
Overcomer Dream -
Another dream you will have when your authority increases is what I call an ‘overcomer dream’.  Again, this is another dream I find gets an “Amen, I’ve had that too”, amongst other believers.  It is a dream in which you will see TONS & tons of creatures that represent satan’s kingdom but they are all lethargic.  One dream I had was were I was kind of being pursued and it seemed I was climbing a sort of mountain up through an attic.  Once I got through the ceiling access to this attic, I was on bright clouds and everywhere were almost toy-like lethargic alligators.  Some people see snakes or other sorts of reptiles.  This is a really affirming dream to have… Father God wants you to trust Him… it’s in Him that your authority lies.
In Eph. 2:6, we can see what is going on with this dream:  “…and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus…”
When do we have this dream?  Let’s look at the context above in Ephesians 2:2:  “…in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.”
“In which you formerly”…. It means you aren’t aligning with satans course anymore.

Having these kind of plateau dreams are nothing to boast about… fear and trembling is more like it.  Your accountability in abiding with our Lord Jesus Christ is held with a high cost.  We each have different callings so, some will encounter way more warfare in the night-watch because of this, and others are only anointed for a seasonal task.  I have personally noticed less dreaming and more intimate daily communication the older I get.  Another change is less warfare and more prophetic dreams. Nothing is set in stone, but I hope some of this sharing will comfort, exhort and encourage those of you having a rough time in the dreamscape.  You aren’t ‘going nuts’… you are an overcomer!

Personal warfare…
Your dreams may be showing you areas you need further deliverance in, especially if they involve animals or you may actually be experiencing deliverance within your dreams.  What have you been praying about or what has the Lord been leading you to deal with?…. pay attention to your dreams!

Principalities and Powers…
Perhaps the people are crying out and God is anointing you and sending you out to contend with principalities and powers?  I won’t go into examples here but you can look at the sitemap on my website (www.hearingGod.tv) and look up ‘territorial deliverance’ for an example of bigger battles confirmed with dreams.

Prophetic warning or protection dreams…
I have a share of a few dreams that made it abundantly clear on how to remain safe…

Another believer got upset with me and was mirroring attacks and accusations I was receiving elsewhere.  I showed that believer what the enemy was doing and how they were unwittingly joining in.  And then the warning dreams began…

I had two dream flashes before waking & then upon waking I somehow knew it was regarding this believer:
The first was of one of my molar teeth just breaking and shattering, & then the next was a glimpse of myself with one skeleton arm.
These were back to back snapshots that happened very quick and then I awoke.  The interpretations of these were that speaking to this individual would be damaging to me and reaching out in any form would be disastrous on my part.

A few days later I had a dream of going thru a kinda half underground hallway - almost like a mineshaft.  It was loaded with cobwebs & looked as though it had never been cleaned, but I was shocked because I knew I had just been there not long before and it was all clean.  Again, I awoke with this person on my mind.  By this dream it was revealed that the person was not taking thoughts captive, not implementing any spiritual housecleaning and so it was as if what all was gained before was lost.
Matthew 12:43-45 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
And don’t forget we are prophetically shown things so that we can pray and intercede, whether it’s for individuals, leaders or nations!  Prayer is so important!

Last night I had a negative dream that could potentially fall in the prophetic warning category as well as in ‘Programming’… in the dream it was showing our truck that in real life is in the shop.  In the dream it was showing something negative about the mechanic and something bad happening with the truck.  As I began to pray and war over the situation and calling the enemy’s plan for evil down…. I began to get pretty agitated and realized that the enemy was intending to harm our truck and relationship with the mechanic.  Had I agreed with the dream or had not covered everything in prayer I would have left a gaping hole of attack for the enemy.  The promises of God are mine.  The promises of God are yours, and with the two-edged sword of the professed Word we shall overcome!

If you are abiding in the Lord, these attacks expose every move of the enemy to your advantage!
Where most people are fighting defensively and dealing with the effects of an attack… Rejoice and pay attention to your dreams and welcome to the offensive upper hand.
God is pouring out His spirit in these days so that we might believe, trust and move in great exploits!

The Gift More Than The Giver

The Question:
"I was doing something yesterday and you popped up in my mind. I tried doing it once and am going to do it again when I sleep. I'm try to have an out of body experience and wanted your guidance on how to achieve it. I want to see visions I want this. If you have any audios that help or anything you could tell me that will help me get this experience would be great."
Unfortunately, God will often pop me into people's minds for the purpose of correction, because I won't candy-coat what people need to hear...

My Response:
That's new age... We don't seek after that stuff. Christians that have amazing experiences are because they seek holiness, conforming to Christ, humility--- walking the talk.  Special experiences are a gift of obedience. If we seek these experiences more that communion with Jesus, we are missing the mark, and that's what witchcraft is.... "I want this!".

"But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ." 2Cor. 11:3
Satan is happy to give us all our flesh wants right here,  right now.   It's hard now carrying the cross, but we must hang on to His promises-  heaven.
 
I tried 'automatic writing' once--- calling upon 'jesus' to 'guide' me; before I was born again. Funny how we think we can go after something in a very wrong way, but apply a little white-washing to it to deceive our 'righteous' selves.  In the scriptures it talks of the spirit of 'another Jesus'...satan is happy to disguise... If we want things apart from God we get satan.


"For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received..." 2Cor. 11:4a
K.I.S.S.: 
2 Corinthians 11:3 is a good reminder in that we need to keep it simple.  Carnal man wants a show, fireworks, ritual, accolades and the like; but we know:  "God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble." James 4:6, Proverbs 3:34, 1Peter 5:5

It's not about anything but Jesus.  Simple devotion.  The simplicity in implementing the Word into our life as manifest purity.
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."  Matt. 6:33
Even if you lead a pure life and don't have 'special experiences', does that bruise your ego or does it press you in further for the desire of heaven?  Heaven is where 'it's at' and with Him our focus. 
So if you've been a bit impatient, turn around, repent and start again.   Trust me, it's worth the wait!

Ripe for the Pick'in - Bringing the Sheep to Jesus

The internet is ripe for the pick'in...

...so for those of you with a burden to help the sheep come home as the wheat and tares are being sifted... I have a great feast for you!

First of all... you have to be 'out there' in some form or fashion. In any case, whatever you do, whether free booklets, a blog, songs, videos.... you need to research SEO (Search engine optimization). You must really put yourself in the audience's shoes... what would you type in Google to find a specific subject? So you must use the science of being search-friendly.

I use the 'description' or 'about video' box on Youtube to type in as much rich/relevant info as possible to pair up with the tags that I had to set up. Another thing you can do is post links to your material elsewhere as it helps with ranking. To be on page one for a given search on Google is golden.... think about it.... how many pages do you flip through on Google looking for something before you give up??? Yah, this stuff is important, because if you are reaching out to the world for God, you want to be effective with that light on the lamp-post (not under that basket!). Posting links on Facebook, twitter, blogs, websites and wherever, drive up the ranking (or better said, move you closer to page 1 on Google).

A Word of Caution...
Your ministry drive must be fueled for reaching souls for Christ Jesus AND NOTHING ELSE. If things like page ranking become more important than the gospel... "pride cometh before a fall". In all things you are asking Yeshua for help in multiplying the talents He's given you. SEO need not be such a mechanical function that you begin to act a flake and email strangers on Youtube asking to sub for sub, or begin to send out heartless cookie-cutter pleas to where people feel as though you are 'using them'... and if you do that...maybe Jesus won't be so appealing if you are His ambassador, a? Use wisdom people! Alliances and building with others of a same heart, ministry or message is great but another avenue of caution... remember, the enemy gains power by breaking our unity...
satan says, "Where 2 or 3 are broken, I am there in the midst", LOL (no, I'm not quoting scripture).
A Good Starting Place.... Your Testimony!
Here is a great lil' vid I did a few years ago, to especially help those that have never tried beyond one on one encounters:

Many never try because of negative confessions of 'I'll never figure out the technology', etc. But I say, whenever I hit a brick wall, I just Google my problem because I know I'm not alone! Confess, "Yes, I can do this WITH YOUR HELP, Lord". And lucky for you... I even share (in the video) tips for people that don't like public speaking, are camera shy etc.!

Multiplication...
In the event that you've done the best you could with the testimony idea, (remember Jesus' charge: "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'" Mark 16:15) --the next thing to do is to multiply things that God clearly has his anointing on (Matthew 25:14-30, The Parable of the Talents).
What is the unforgivable sin? (Mark 3:28-29) Not only not recognizing when God shows up, but attacking it. So on the same token... what is the blessing for multiplying the precepts of the kingdom? Yep... good stuff. You'll hear me in teachings sometimes "I don't want to reinvent the wheel"... and so I then I refer people to other ministries teachings etc. I can't tell you how many treasures of the kingdom are missed out on because people are so afraid to laud another's God-given revelation. OR, they 'steal' by not adding references where they got it, or pawn it off as though they received it themselves. Do you what to talk about hell-fire? HA! God see's this!
"He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward." Matthew 10:41
No, we shouldn't fear multiplying the 'good stuff' because if we do (multiply it), we will be rewarded for it! If you don't have that sheep-wrangling gift or burden, then multiply what He has anointed, to fill up your heavenly piggy-bank!

Okay, and now for a testimonial treat!....
I'd like to end this exhortation with a little training session, because as you put your net out there, you will begin to have people contacting you for help, healing, prayer, etc.
If in every situation, you can first empty yourself of responsibility and cling to Jesus saying, "I shared, they came, & now I'm giving them to YOU, because I'm not their Savior".... then you're on the right track!

So I've been given permission to share communication from this very process... so you all can begin to see the impact I had in simply sharing the Word of God in a video, and how the Lord moved the individual to cry out and then how I began to pray... how God showed up and used me as a vessel and how a man's life will never be the same... I know this because the Lord gave me this scripture for this particular individual:
"He makes my feet like hinds' feet, And sets me upon my high places." Psalm 18:33
Because of this I knew that there was a grand calling on this mans life. Will you also nourish and encourage the ONE in ministry? Shall we begin?

So I got this comment on a video....
"Praise God! I have been praying for God to heal me from addictions. I am full of fear, paranoia and uncertainty because of these addictions. I know God is listening and will answer my prayers and bless my Mother and Father. God bless you all!"
So I prayed for them during the broadcast, re: "Prayer and Help Concerning Addictions", sending that Youtube clip and this was the reply:
(*Note, the bracketed in red are my notes in discerning… and all in red are the red flags that this person spoke and is in need of deliverance over)
Dear hearingGod,

Thank you so very much for praying for me! When you spoke in tongues, I felt a surge energy go through my body (almost electric). I believe this was God working through me. My family and I have been suffering from financial lack for almost ten years (financial curse). After losing his job, my Father began drinking heavily (beginning of 'addiction') which didn't help at all. Money has always been an issue (again, financial curse) and source of family arguments. I have also been unable to find a job after many years of searching (curse passed on from dad). We have lived in bondage for many years.

Looking back, this led to depression and feelings of inadequacy. In order to self-medicate, I developed bad habits that I have struggled to break. A few weeks ago, I had suicidal thoughts but prayed to the Lord and I believe He has spoken through me in many ways, including you. The enemy keeps implanting thoughts of worthlessness, guilt, anxiety and depression in my mind. At times, I feel like a failure and I am uncertain as to what the future holds for me.

You are absolutely right. I have been praying Psalm 91 repeatedly over the last few weeks; it is one of my favorite verses. How did you know this? I have been struggling with this addiction for many years but I believe the tide is turning in my favor although it is still a difficult process. I'm sorry for my long-winded response. Thank you again for your prayer and I will subscribe to your channel. Please continue praying for my family and God bless you and yours!
I referenced him to the Spiritual Housecleaning Series and shared a bit about identifying family curses with a free online short version of Derek Prince's book: "Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose", as well as encouraging the full read as well.

And you see, God has His way....
...Let's the strange 'Coincidences' begin!
I wrote him:
If I mentioned psalm 91 (I'd have to watch it again, I don't remember), it was the holy spirit flowing.... He is constantly giving me things to say and interpretation of tongues as I speak or pray for people. You feel that electricity & that 'Wow' over the psalm 91 stuff because He's doing it... not me... I'm just a clueless, but willing vessel, LOL.
God Continues to Confirm....
Hi,

You have my permission to share all of my comments. Thanks again for praying for me and my family. Do you know what is interesting? I forgot to mention this in my previous response. You probably will not believe me so I understand. The night before I got my prayer response from you, I had dream.

In this dream I opened my email account and there was an email from someone regarding prayer/prophecy. When I awoke yesterday morning, that was when I discovered that you had sent me a message via YouTube regarding my prayer request. I am still a little awed by this. Coincidence? I am not sure. Anyways, thanks again. I will go through the Housecleaning series. I will also check out Derek Prince's material.
And I replied:
This is 'normal', LOL... I totally believe you : )....
...What this is showing us is that you are really in tune with the Lord, and you should be excited for the destiny He has for you...
I then shared about taking a spiritual giftings test, because that scripture was showing me that he will cleanse and be running... (do look up the chapter-context of this scripture, Psalm 18:33... I am excited, because this one is a WARRIOR):
"He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.." Psalm 18:34
Do you have feet like the deer to securely scale the high places? Like this one, I want to see you equipped and stepping out to go after the one. Bring them in and them point them to Jesus... and rest assured He WILL do the rest!
