2. In which area do I need the most training?
3. Am I aligned & connected properly?
4. What am I contending in & with?
5. Does the enemy have an upper hand in my life?
Now, let’s watch this. Let me ask you a few questions.
Number one: Are you prepared for the warfare ahead? And it might be, you might say, “Lord, I hate this. I just hate it. No, I’m not prepared for it. I hate it. I hate it. I don’t want to be in it. I can’t stand this warfare.” All right.
Number two: In which area do I need the most training?
Why? What is wrong with him? He just lives happy, filled with faith, all the time. But some of us are preparing for other things ahead. Some of you need to say, “Lord, I am clueless in certain areas. I need some help here. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t understand why this has happened. I don’t understand why I went through this. I don’t understand why I’m going through this. Lord, I need some training here.” It’s all right to say that. All right.
Number three: Here comes some very important because what you find this year, 5766, it means it is a supernatural connecting you, a Vav (stake or peg). See, in Hebrew they don’t have a word or a letter or a symbol for “and”, so when they do that, they just put the Vav there. This year connects a lot of things from your past. Now, that’s why you want to be sure you’re looking back and saying, “Lord, we’ve made some real headway in my life this way.” And the Lord says, “I’m going to connect that now into your future.” In other words, it’s the year that your future can overtake your past. Now that becomes very, very important. In other words, this year, in this year, what God has for you can overtake anything that’s tried to overtake you. And that’s what you want to say, “Lord, I don’t have to play catch up, just bring me in and overtake what needs to be overtaken.” But you’re going to have to know if you’re fully, if you’re properly aligned and connected. You’re to have to ask the Lord that. So, here are a few questions.
Number four: Then you want to ask the Lord, “What am I contending in and with?” In other words, what, you’re not supposed to be warring with everything. What’s that one thing that is running you just off the edge? What are you contending for? What is your assignment? Some of you are called to the state. Some of you are called to the house. Some of you are called to the nation. You’ve got, some of you are called to your tribe. Some of you are called to, you see what I mean? You’ve got to define. That’s what
Number five: And here’s a very important question. Does the enemy have any upper hand in your life? See, that’s what 2 Corinthians, Chapter 2 is about.
War Is:
• Receiving grace to fight (1 Thes. 5:8, 2 Tim. 2:3-4).
• Receiving the necessary armor for victory (Eph. 6:11-17).
• A blessing that results in the fruit of victory (
Now, here are a couple of other things to look at. We’ve still got some time. Now, here’s what war is because I said, “Now, Lord, I’ve got to help the body understand this. Show me clearly from the word, Hebrew, Greek, all of it we can do to make it simple so we are not afraid of a war season.” Now, war is this: War is the conflict that is necessary for you to conquer your enemies and take possession of that which has been promised you. In other words, how many of you have a promise from the Lord? Well, if you have a promise from the Lord, you’re going to have to go into the conflict that will cause you to conquest anything that’s trying to keep that promise from you. See, that’s warfare. All right?
I love this definition. It means receiving the grace to fight. A lot of people, they just say, “Oh God, get me out of this warfare instead of just saying, Lord, in the midst of this mess pour grace down on me and show me how to take out the enemy’s plan.” See, that’s warfare.
All right. The third definition. It’s receiving the necessary armor for victory. In other words, you have to review how are you dressed? Do you have your helmet on? If the shield will quench all the fiery darts, what’s your shield of faith doing? You see, unbelief is an interesting dynamic of how
Now, let’s look at this. You see why I’d rather prophesy, but sometimes you just have to pull aside and you’ll get it. We’ll put it on the website for you. All right. Is this what
Now, here’s some patterns of war that I want you to get very, very quickly because it’s hard to come to a warfare conference unless somebody just shows you some things. First of all, the first pattern of real war that you find corporately the people going into is when God was ready to bring them out by armies out of Egypt. It says he brought them out by armies. That’s the first corporate understanding brought into the word of God where He began to assemble them by tribe and call them armies. That’s why this year you need to know, I’ve got to be with the tribe God puts me with. All right.
Now, here’s another thing. He, in Numbers 10, He brought them out by sound. Sound becomes very, very important. That’s why you’ve seen a lot of different dynamics here in this particular gathering with sound. That means worship is going to be shifting drastically. All right. He brought them out with a battle cry. In other words, there’s this unified sound God is raising up in His people right now that says, “We’re coming out.” All right?
Here’s the next thing. He brought them out with the presence of God. Now, see, warfare, here’s what we miss with warfare, right in the middle of them when they went to war was the ark. A lot of times we don’t go to war with God’s presence surrounding in the midst of us. If you’ll just stop and pull aside and get His presence positioned first, you’ll win every victory in your life. All right?
Then, here’s where we are in this nation. He used forces of nature if it was necessary to bring them out. Now, I mean God’s going to keep doing it. Now, get ready. We’ve seen, because see, here’s what He did on, last year He said, “I want you to have 10 first fruit gatherings.” I’ve got a set of the CDs for each one of those gatherings because it’s something I’ve always participated in, in my own life. So, the Lord said, “I want you to do it corporately this year.” So, we pulled together once a month for 10 straight months. I rearranged my schedule to do that. We started off with 300 people. We ended up with standing room only in those gatherings because of the revelation.
At the beginning, the Lord said, “Have your tent meeting based upon your realignment with Israel on the 9th of Av because that’s when destruction always would hit, on the 9th of Av.” And we brought
Now, He had principles of war. Read Deuteronomy 20. Read ‘em. There were principles of war, how to go to war. Go ahead,
Patterns for Victory in War
• Ex. 14 Exercise authority when the enemy blocks you
• Ex. 15 Redeem the enemy’s sound and violently worship and praise
• 1 Sam. 17 Do not agree with the enemy’s decrees
• 1 Sam. 17 Let authority position you properly
• Mt. 2 Receive supernatural revelation and change courses if necessary
• Acts 12 Move past your last defeat and expect God to break captivity
Now, I just want to end with a couple of things for you so you begin to see. We’ll get it. We’ll get it (the overhead notes taken off.) That is the second time. This is what threw
You want to exercise authority when the enemy tries to block you. Now these are very practical principles but that you need to memorize them so that when the enemy tries to block you this year, you just take what you’ve got and you decree it. Just remember
Redeem the enemy’s sound and learn to violently worship and praise. That’s what
Here’s a very important concept.
I had a lady come up. I had just gotten out of my mouth what was going on with me and a lady came up and said, and weeping, and said the Spirit of God told me to pray for you tonight. Is it all right? She asked
Now, here’s what I want, that’s all right. You didn’t need to see that. You can get it the next time I come.
Now, I want to end with this because one of the things I always do is go back to the first principle of war. If we’re going to teach a conference on warfare, you’ve got to go back to the first principle where it is in the Word of God, where the people actually God comes down and reveals Himself to them. That first place is Exodus 17 where the Amalekites are coming against the people and remember
Now, here’s the greatest strategy of the enemy and this is what I wanted to bring to you here at the end. What the Amalekites would do, remember in this war, the Lord gave a prophecy at the end when
And the Amalekites, the Bible, the Word of God said, the Lord said when He came down as
Now, here’s where we’re going to have to help each other. When you get weary moving forward in what God’s telling you to stake down this year, get some rear guard. Some of you have even come in here tonight very weary from the past year of warfare. The next three years, God is saying, “Get in this thing in victory. Get in it in victory. Move in victory.” Even if you don’t know how to get in it in victory, you’re going to say, “Lord, put victory in my spirit. We have to this year because the anti-Christ, see the Amalekite structure went on to
Then, finally, here’s the opportunity for us this year. See, when you put a stake down, you’re gaining victory under heaven over the enemy structure that’s in heaven. God says, “This year that structure’s not going to rule us anymore.” He’s going to jar things so much and move so much with us this year that we will say, “Lord, we are finding our place in the midst of this war. We’re moving in victory. We’re going to ask a thing and decree a thing and watch it happen. God is bringing the Spirit of the Lord.
Now, I am telling you we are in a divine, shifting time over the, and I just want to say this, over these next few weeks we are in a divine, shifting time and I say this to the whirlwind state, get ready for the whirlwind will intensify here from this state. The smoke signals would go up and I had
Let’s stand up. Now, I don’t know what to tell you to do other than just say, “Lord, let me embrace the whirlwind. Lord, let me embrace the season ahead.” And right now, I just feel a Spirit of unbelief just dropping off of people. I don’t feel it coming down on people. I feel it dropping off of people. The Lord says, “I’m going to teach you how to kick, yell and scream so loud and the Lord says I’ll be putting some of you on counsels for technical inventions that will cause my people to multiply and I say I’ll wake you up in the middle of the night like I did Daniel with the revelation that is needed to advance forward even in arenas you do not even understand.”
Father, there is a divine shift. Lord, this war thing does not intimidate your people. Father, we say we are going to stand in victory. Just throw your hands up and say, “Lord, I feel victory permeating my body.” And the Lord would say, “This will be a year that I will teach you about the blood and its power and its victory. I say I’m going to cause my blood to become a vibrant throughout my body again. I’m going to cause those who have warred disease to overtake disease this year.”
The Lord says, “I am going to cause those that have warred poverty and warred for the breakthrough of the release of my supply and provision for my vision in the future. I say you watch at the end of this year. You will say, “God, you have established my tent peg in a new supply pile.”
Now, just extend your hands. Let’s just receive from the Lord for a moment. Now, Father, rearrange our schedules, rearrange our past, rearrange our families. Lord, we say, right now, just position all of our children in the right place. Some of your kids will start calling this week saying I’m in the wrong place. And you’re going to say, “Well, come on, we’ll get back in the right place.”
Father, we receive from You. Father and Lord, I don’t fully know why You chose Washington State to be Your signal, but, Lord, we just say thank you for it in
And the Lord would say to you, “Quit worrying about the earthquake. Quit worrying about all of that here.” The Lord says, “I am teaching you to stand in the midst of the shaking ahead.” Now just say, “My feet are being planted in a new way.”
Now let’s give one more shout to the Lord. Now, Father, send us forth with a mind, even as we sleep, to enlarge the place of our tent in
