RHEMA 5/18/13  PRAYER STRATEGIES REGARDING WICKEDNESS IN WEATHER

HEARD:  I earnestly sought the Lord on your behalf.  I declare this house a safe zone. 

5/20/13  LEVEL 5 TORNADO

A level 5 tornado attacked Moore, OK today. 

DEVILS MANIFEST IN TORNADO 5/25/13

Tonight on the weather channel 362, I watched a special called Oklahoma Tornado Tragedy. 

QUICKENED MEMORY:  This month the Lord told me that He would start giving us tangible evidence, manifestations that back His Word.  Basically it means He will be making His Word and the spirit realm manifest with tangible proof.  These are like signs that point to truth.  As I was watching the special, the Lord brought that into memory and then I had a strong impression that the demonic spirits in the tornado would become visible on TV.

When they showed the tornado, I slowed the frames down and sure enough I saw 2 of them immediately.  Their horns are black, faces white, clothing black.  One is facing to the left, the other to the front.  Wayne’s hand is pointing to the one on the right.

This is the photo that shows that what I was viewing was on my TV inside my tv cabinet.

This photo was taken by my iTouch and darker.  I don’t know if it is more clear or not.

Below is another demonic spirit that manifested.  It is the dark part:

SIGNS IN THE SKY

The Lord often speaks through signs.  Good and evil signs will become more and more obvious as they are planted into the earth to get the world’s attention.  When God quickens events that have a mixture of both good and evil, it doesn’t mean that He causes evil events to occur just to speak His Word.  But He inspires them to be examples and then be written down just for us in order to call attention to and admonish us.

1Co 10:11

Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

Matthew 16:2-3 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and overcast. O you hypocrites, you can discern the appearance of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times?

There ARE events in the world that are God’s judgment due to grievous sin.  Scripture is quite clear about that.  Some think judgment is just for the OT.  However the NT mentions judgment 80 times.  God does not change.

Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.

 There are ALSO events in the earth that are caused by wicked plots from spirits in the sky.  This F5 was one of those wicked plots.  This tornado was not God’s judgment. 

Satan is the prince of the power of the air.

Ephesians 2:2 In which in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:

AUTHORITY IN STORMS

Scripture says that the purpose of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy.  One way we can pray over a storm (outside of repenting for our sins and speaking the blood of Jesus over our lives) is to ask the Lord to take the destruction out of the storm.  That takes away the demonic influence that takes advantage of the natural elements. 

John 10:9-11 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.

AUTHORITY OVER THE STORMS: THE WIND AND WATER

We have Jesus' authority over the power of the enemy and Jesus' used His over the storm.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

 

A good example of a demonic storm was when Jesus told the disciples to get in the boat. They were on their way to the place where the man with 1,000 demons lived.   This was the territory given over to the devils.  When Jesus came in proximity to the legion of demons, there was a demonic resistance by way of a great storm or wind and waves. The wind and waves OBEYED Jesus. He was actually speaking directly to the spirits behind that storm and admonishing them to be still. This is the same Greek word used when He told the devil to hold its peace and come out of the man with an unclean spirit.

Mark 4:37-41 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked {2008} the wind, and said {2036}  unto the sea, Peace, {4623} be still. {5392} And the wind ceased, {2869} and there was a great calm.  {1055} 40 And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Mark 1:24-25 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? are you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, {5392} and come out of him.

Jesus censured, admonished, forbid, charged, rebuked the wind. The wind contained the source of the storm.  Jesus spoke to the water and told it to hush, be mute, be still, be quiet and hold its peace.  And the water was muzzled and became tranquil. He was actually rebuking the demonic spirits in the storm.  The wind ceased, relaxed and tired.  These were demons that obeyed Him.

These were devils that Jesus was rebuking.   And we only follow the model of Jesus.  Jesus did not teach us to rebuke principalities, neither did the disciples and even Michael the arch angel was respectful of the authority God ordained for His purposes.  Scripture warns against that practice in Jude.

Jud 1:8-9  NLT

In the same way, these people—who claim authority from their dreams—live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings. 9 But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you!" (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses' body.) 

SPIRITS OF WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES

Paul taught us to STAND AND WITHSTAND.  Nowhere did he teach that we are supposed to rail at them and command them to fall and be judged, etc.  Vengeance is God's alone.  When Jesus used His authority over the storm, He forbid and He spoke to the elements.  That is all.

Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. 13 Therefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The spirits that manifested in the Moore, OK tornado were the same type of spiritual resistance that Jesus came against when rebuking the wind and the waves.  These are spirits in the sky that plot wicked schemes of destruction.

LEARNING TO LAY LOW AND HOME TO YOUR REFUGE

RHEMA 5/25/13  KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

VISION:  I saw an umpire in the baseball field do the safe sign with his hands as someone slid into home base, laying as low as he could possibly slide.

HEARD:  Humility. I have redeemed you from the plot of the wicked one. 

James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.

QUICKENED MEMORY:  Home base was quickened to me and the remembrance of an old Word the Lord gave me about Ollie, Ollie, Oxen Free.  Ollie, ollie, oxen free is what we used to call out when we were playing hide and seek as children. When it was safe to come home, we could cry out, "Ollie, ollie, oxen free!" and run to home base without penalty.

QUICKENED MEMORY REFUGE: In the OT cities of refuge were created for murderers and they could run inside their boundaries and find safety.

Numbers 35:6 And among the cities which you shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which you shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee there: and to them you shall add forty and two cities.

Isaiah 32:1-3 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice. 2 And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a refuge from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. 3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall listen.

QUICKENED MEMORY:  I am remembering the almost identical visions the Lord gave both Jill Austin and Bobby Conner that the way to keep one’s head from being chopped off is to lay low and keep your head down.  It is remaining in humble repentance and submission to God that the devils leave.

James 4:6-10 But he gives more grace. Therefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

I am reminded of when the people at Moore, OK went as low as they could in order to survive. 

DREAM FROM QW READER 5/27/13: KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

Dear Sandy,

I was kneeling on the ground and bent over so that my head was on the ground.

Jesus had His foot on my head and I couldn't move it. But the harder He stepped down on my head the more light I could see. I dreamed it twice in a row before I woke up. Naturally it was easy to remember.

What came to me is that the earth is the Lord's footstool. My head was like a footstool. I see humility here in the bowing down part. I see the authority of Jesus.

I have been told that I have a "hot head" at times.  And I know that thoughts must be taken captive, and thought life is probably represented by the head.

WORD TO PONDER:  YOUR LIFE, A REFUGE 5/25/13

When you see evidence of destruction, it is the devil’s work.  When My people have grievously crossed over My boundaries, I lift My hand of protection.  It is only through the righteous stand and prayers of My beloved intercessors that protection is available for those who are not innocent.  Beloved, I have chosen you to pray. 

In your willing, humble obedience to My Word, in your righteous choices, in your repentance I have created for you a refuge, a resting place safe sheltered from the storm.  I AM moving you to that place.  All that dwell there with you shall be safe.  Your walk in Me, will also provide refuge and protection for those you earnestly pray for. 

Isaiah 32:1-3 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice. 2 And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a refuge from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. 3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall listen.
