RHEMA 4/9/03 PARABLE OF BAGHDAD FALLING TODAY

Today was the day our troops rolled into Baghdad and the UN ambassador said the game is over. People came out to the streets, danced, cheered, whistled, laughed, chanted, and rejoiced over the fall of Saddam’s regime.

DIVINE TIMING CONFIRMATION: Today the following Ears2Hear came out: I posted these on InJesus last March.

{Ears 2 Hear} MAINTAIN YOUR GROUND

MAINTAIN YOUR GROUND

============

QUICKENED CONCEPT ON WARFARE: A concept was quickened to me today regarding spiritual warfare. I applied it to the difference between only claiming your territory instead of maintaining your territory.

The concept came from my reading a book about the Lewis and Clark expedition and about an Indian who didn't understand a surveyor’s "invisible lines." The Indian said it reminded him of when the animals mark their territory and it depends on what animal crosses the boundary as to whether the lines are respected.

In order to prove his point, he took the surveyor on a 3 day’s ride all the way up the river to view a marking carved in a rock. It was put there by a Frenchman in prior decades and was covered by weeds. One had to search to find it. It read something like, "All the territory from this river to such n' such now belongs to the French." Obviously the French were nowhere around and the Indians lived there. Marking your territory doesn't do a bit of good. Standing and maintaining your territory does.

QUICKENED QUOTE (A precept from Old English common law):

"Possession is 9/10’s of the law."

WORD TO PONDER: TO CLAIM OR TO OCCUPY

I’m not asking you to claim your territory, rather I AM asking you to occupy it and then stand and maintain it. There is a big difference: WORK AND EFFORT.

"I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land." (Ex 23:29-31 NKJV)
