KATHY GABLER—Sharing the third victory in this series which was won with un-carnal weapons that were received in dreams and visions: Old wars, Old enemies, New Victories
A lady told me that she had seen a dark shadow in her bedroom one evening. Strangely, she was not frightened, but she knew she needed wisdom and insight to set the thing to flight. A few days later in a dream, God opened her understanding.
In the dream she discovered an old soul-tie, an individual that she had considered a constant refuge in times past. Suddenly she realized that because this friend had never required any commitment (nor offered any), she had used the relationship as a refuge whenever she feared commitment in her life. Many times when she’d been faced with the need to commit to a relationship or to commit to a responsibility, fear would flare up and send her running back to the refuge where there were no strings attached. It was a need-based, unhealthy relationship and she realized she was still tied to its memory. As surely as an old photo album from that time of her life was stored in a closet, she had stored that sense of refuge in her memory. Like a comforting blanky or silky, she could still pull it out if life got too demanding.
Awaking and considering the dream, she realized the dream revealed she had maintained a memory in her heart of a carnal place of refuge. If the Lord is not our refuge, then neither is He Lord of our refuge … and the places in our life where He is not Lord are places vulnerable to powers of darkness. The dark shadow’s presence was evidence that a stronghold needed pulling down. Suddenly she remembered that same dark shadow had come to her room when she was a child. This revealed more of the nature of the stronghold. That fear of commitment that made her seek out refuge in her teen years had obviously dogged her in childhood also. Her understanding opened further and she knew there was a deeper root. That root was fear, a fear of failure to be exact. That fear, which is common to many, had likely plagued other generations in her house before coming to her room and it continued to show up through her life at points of purpose and times of potential fulfillment of destiny. Once again the familiar enemy showed up, intending to hinder a new season of purpose in her life, and he fully expected to send her scurrying backward in search of safety again.
However, she now had an un-carnal weapon to wield. With the dream’s insights came the grace to take action. She started by getting rid of the old photos. There was no need to preserve the memory of the old refuge any longer because there was no need to assume or even accept failure. She no longer trusted her ability to build a refuge like she once had. By trusting in God instead of self, she slammed the door on the fear of failure and the dark shadow no longer had a legal leg to stand on. Through her obedient follow-through she was swinging an un-carnal weapon that defeated an old enemy for her and for her generations to come.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, (2 Cor 10:3-4,NKJ)

KATHY–“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (2 Cor 10:3-4,NKJV) I pray we become a people of God, skillful in the use of un-carnal weapons. I believe the first step to that goal is learning to recognize the difference between carnal (governed by mere human nature only) and un-carnal weapons. If we simply “do what comes naturally,” we are choosing carnal weapons. So, we must learn to do what comes super-naturally. Emotional reactions that flare up in us are sometimes explosive and therefore seem powerful. After all, we all know what it is like to fear someone’s upset or wrath. However, emotional outbursts, like a persuasive tongue or logic or rationalization are common weapons of the natural man; therefore they are still carnal weapons and do not compare with un-carnal weapons like Godly authority and wisdom or Divine revelation and intervention.

A victory won with un-carnal weapons that were received in dreams and visions: My niece dreamed recently that she was in her kitchen sauteeing some onions. Her dad, who had passed away the previous year, stood in the doorway of her kitchen. 
Scrunching his nose at the strong odor he asked her, “What is that smell?” She answered that it was just onions frying. He shook his head and said, “No, that smells like gas.” As soon as he said the word “gas,” she awoke and sat up in bed. Immediately she smelled the gas. Running to the kitchen she found a burner which had not been completely shut off. The gas fumes had slowly been filling the house since supper earlier that evening.
Her Heavenly Father sent special forces to her rescue. Like a Navy Seal Special Ops, the dream was a timely intervention behind the scenes to stop an explosive attack before it reached success. Who but God could dispatch the exact messenger who would represent the authority and particular skills needed to bring her to a wake up call? The messenger was in her earthly father’s likeness not only to represent trustworthy and sound counsel, but her earthly father had also been a fire chief for years!
Angels on assignment can definitely be un-carnal weapons discharged in our behalf. Many people have had similar dreams and experiences and I’m sure some have experienced angelic intervention without realizing it. I believe we can expect even more reports of God sending angels from His arsenal to intervene in the affairs of men in days ahead.—Kathy Gabler

(Kathy Gabler)—God’s Word and His principles and His character and His will are the metal of un-carnal weapons. For example, when we discover strongholds in our own lives that do not align with His Word or principles or character or plans, humility can become an un-carnal weapon. The Word says that if we will humble ourselves He will give us grace. (1 Pet 5:5) So, when we choose to humble ourselves before God, we position ourselves to receive grace. That means we are enabled to change and the stronghold is brought down.
