Meaning Of February

FebruaryFebruary means: “expiatory” (the means by which atonement is made). This is the month that many people, and certainly retail businesses, turn their thoughts toward what they label as “love.” So many posture themselves as doing something loving while it is an attempt to get something from the other person. But Jesus showed all mankind for all ages the true selfless act which is truly love: that a man lay down his life for his friends. He didn’t merely lay down His life for mankind but in an expiatory act, paid the price for our sins (Rom.5:6-15). 

“By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” (1Jn.3:16, NKJV)

Engagements Father Designs

Marty recently dreamed that he, Melissa and I went into a region of the U.S. to free a young woman from a prison of prostitution.   looking out window2Praying in the Spirit, we were all propelled through barriers, breaching the stronghold she was in.  The battle was an intervention and the details were so specific and graphic that he awoke in a sweat and sought me out to see if I too had had the dream.  While a rehearsal dream can be as impacting as a night vision, its purpose is to equip us for the future and we awake with a deposit of confidence that comes because we have already experienced something.  The night vision is not only about equipping, it is about accomplishing a task.   Such divinely orchestrated assignments can move us through dimensions to a God-appointment with stealth.  The enemy doesn’t know we are coming, and he cannot explain the defeat his stronghold suffered when we leave.  The follow-up action to a night vision is an “amen,” a “so be it,” to seal the outcome that was literally acquired.  Could such translation to complete a task happen in daylight hours?  Yes, mature sons can get mature results in whatever rules of engagement Father designs.

To Get It Done

Shake Hands AgreeMay the Lord help us to get done everything we need to get done this year. May we be able to reach cooperative contacts who will facilitate linking us up with the people and resources necessary for our goals. May filled-out forms and applications gain the notice of those who have the capability to act in accordance with our needs. May the Lord hold in check those who might try to take advantage of our situation and include more steps than necessary in order to charge more than is necessary. May the Lord fight in our behalf.

“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.” (Ex.14:14, Amp)

Step Up On Stage

The curtain rising on equipping insight may be a call to step up on the prepared stage for a hands-on, call to duty, on-the-job-stage with audiencetraining experience.  Most of us have heard of battles where God opened supernatural dimensions and sent angels to intervene for men and nations, but we are about to hear more about God also sending mature sons into supernatural  battle.  Since dimensions are no limitation to our God, He can  usher us outside time and natural boundaries for His purposes.   One of the biblical understandings of vision is “interaction within the spirit realm.”  Technically, being geographically translated into a situation can be considered a vision experience. What I’m describing in particular is what I will term a “night vision” that occurs while asleep yet goes beyond a typical dream.  These type of experiences leave you wondering where you have been in the night because the experience was real enough to wake up in a sweat or wake up with dirty fingernails or wake up sore from deeds accomplished.  (More in the next post.)

Joined At The Hip?

three leg raceBe careful who you get “joined at the hip” with. Which direction might they drag you? Are they wanting to join with you for your benefit and the benefit of the Kingdom or for what they can get out of the joining?

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismated alliances. . .]. ” (2Cor.6:14, Amp)

Piercing Atmosphere

Jesus demonstrated how to pierce an atmosphere.  He did it when He acknowledged the woman with the issue of blood.  His acknowledgment, without condemnation, pierced the atmosphere of pierce atmospheretraditions that limit life and steal destiny.  He pierced the atmosphere that was filled with the fear of death when He spoke to Jairus of his daughter saying, “Do not be afraid any longer; merely entrust this to Christ, and she will be made well.”  Jesus’ words pierced the atmosphere and served as a heads-up to the prince of the power of the air over Jarius’ region.  That atmosphere filled with unbelief was about to shatter.  The stronghold of experience and natural limitations was crumbling, bowing to a Higher order.  Jesus set the rules of engagement in Lk 8:51 “ When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.” Then He pierced the powers-that-be again, “He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.”  The first blow shook every power of darkness lurking in the smothering, toxic air, and then He delivered the second blow in verse 54, “He, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Child, arise!”

Just Pull What God Points Out

I was talking to Melissa on her way to work the morning after the download about the “power of the air.”  Before I could tell her pull your pieceabout it, she said,  “Mom, there is something in the air.  I have been pacing restlessly for the last three days because of what I am sensing.”   I then told her about the insight on Eph. 2:2.  That confirmed the warfare status. She responded,  “We can’t be intimidated by principalities.  The problem is we feel we have to go after the whole thing, but we don’t.”  All we have to do is just pierce the piece God points out.  She said it is like a Jenga game.  Just pull the precise piece that is your part of the tumbling of a principality.  I came away equipped with a solid battle strategy: don’t be overwhelmed by the size or tenure of the enemy, just pull the piece God points out . . . or just  thump the highlighted domino.

Promises Remembered

making promiseMay the Lord bring to their remembrance the good promises others have made to us, no matter how long ago.  May they consider the commitments they made and set about honoring those promises. May they not try to follow through with only a “reasonable facsimile thereof” but provide the full measure of the original intention and may God bless it and multiply it beyond initial expectations.

Gen. 41:9–”Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember. . .”
v.12–”Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there. . .”
v.14–”Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. . .”

 

Due Time Appointments

I asked to understand why the power of the air could get to and maintain such a fierceness  of warfare.  I heard the words, “10 Sky_clouds_citylayers” and then I realized  this power had been steadily gaining and reigning for decades, and the powers that be, those residing rulers of darkness in this region, have tenure.  The air has been repeatedly conditioned as men’s choices, acts and decisions have remained “under the influence.”  However, Goliath, no matter how big he grew was born to fall, and no matter how many opponents he fought on the way, the confrontation with David was his appointed demise.  God’s “due time” appointments involve the intersection of time, place, circumstances and specific people.  It is obviously due time for God’s order to prevail in the atmosphere of that region.  That explains why the warfare has peaked to a crisis turning point.  Decades of decisions and their results over that region are being set up like dominoes, poised for knocking down.
