DEEPER PERCEPTION ON ANGELS AND TRUTH

2/13/06  I had a neat vision last night.  For years I have asked the Lord to be able to see angels at work in a deliverance.  I see angels at night and I see the demonic.  But I don't very often see angels dealing with the demonic.

VISION:  I saw a woman dressed in a business suit and a brief case walking down a street.  The street was very narrow, with no sidewalks and the buildings on the street were so tall, there was no way out, except this long narrow street.  She was walking straight towards me as in a goal oriented and business kind of pursuit.  I did not see her countenance and there was nothing about her that made me think she was evil.  But my spirit rose up inside of me and I said, "I bind you in the name of Jesus!"  Immediately I saw 2 angels pick her up and haul her off.  The angels were floating above her head, and they had wings.  I have only seen winged angels a few times before.  And the coolest part of this, is that I did not rebuke the demon, or command it to go, or resist, I hadn't even gotten that far.  All I know is that she was headed toward me and my spirit bore witness that this was not good.  No sooner had I bound it, then the 2 angels showed up and hauled her off.  One picked her up from her left shoulder, and the other picked up from her right shoulder.  I was really blessed by this immediate help.

 

UPDATE:  Since that night, I have found a release in my spirit that had to do with a war going on inside of me that had been escalating about the business woman side of me versus the teacher/ writing side of me. The war has now stopped and I have found a peace.

HEARD:  Work horse.

TELLING THE DIFFERENCE IS BEYOND THE APPEARANCE
As a follow up about my spirit bearing witness to what spirits I see, I have had many countless experiences of seeing angels and demons.  My spirit always seems to know by instinct whether they belong to the Lord or to the devil.  The demons can disguise themselves in all kinds of ways, and sometimes you can't tell by looking at the expression on their faces as to whether they are good or bad angels.  Almost all the angels I have ever seen have joy, peace or love and they emanate those fruits.  But often the demons can disguise themselves to be very good looking. If I am too far away and see them too quickly, I don't get to really see their expressions. All I can do is rely upon the discernment I receive.  I have had many, many experiences where the Spirit of God has risen up inside of me and I have rebuked the enemy in what I have seen and they are exposed for what they are, and they flee. 

 

There is a place deep inside of us that is deeper than skin deep.  It is beyond being able to look at someone's body language, face expressions and demeanor.  When a blind man sees with the eyes of his spirit, he has developed instincts that are very perceptive.  In learning who he can trust and how to get along in an unstable world, he does not have the same security blankets that most people do.  A blind man sees things differently and he picks up things that others do not, simply because he is not distracted by the outward appearance.  He sees and hears with different antennas.  That is what it is like to pick things up in the Spirit.

1 Sam 16:7 NKJV
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Bobby Conner asked a bank teller how she could tell the difference between a real $20 and a fake one.  She said that the way they train their tellers is by handling the real thing.  They get a sense, a taste, a feel for the real and once that is embedded into their sense of touch and faculties, they are able to discern the difference and throw out the fake.  It is something they don't have to see, they feel it.

My readers have never seen me face to face.  They have not seen my expressions, my responses or nuances of demeanor.  However, God has been training these to know something deeper than the flesh in me.  There are many ways to teach and train and everything He does is for a specific purpose to equip us for where we are going and what we will face.

How interesting that we also have not seen God's face.  And yet, He grows deeper and more real and there comes a day when our faith is just as real as touching, tasting and seeing. In fact, when that times comes, what other's might call faith is really not faith at all to us, because we have known a real and living relationship with the One Who loves us and liberally pours out upon us such favor and grace…And to think, it is all without His face!

For this year, 2006, He has given me the word "deeper".  I am beginning to understand a little more about that now.  And I look forward to going deeper into Him and deeper in my relationships...Past the skin to where my perceptions become finely honed in hearing the nuances and flavor.  I so desire it to the degree that my faith will become so sensitive to His Word that it bursts with sudden, clear revelation that clearly penetrates into my inner man.

UPDATE CONFIRMATION PRAYER MEETING

EXCELLENT WORD:  One of our intercessors shared a Word that when the King of Glory comes, we will know His Presence so intimately, that we will not have to ask, "Who is it?" when He knocks.  We will know immediately.

WORD TO PONDER: HONING YOUR DISCERNMENT 3/27/99

I have given you a gift of discernment and I want to teach and confirm that what you perceive is even without words or actions.  There will come times when you will suddenly know a spirit before it manifests.  Then I shall confirm it to you after you discern via the manifestation of that spirit through that person. 

There are also times when My Spirit emanates through your mere presence in a public place, and manifests itself to the spirit world. The demons will become agitated in your presence.  You shall understand this is also a confirmation to the discernment you are perceiving as you walk through a public place without spoken words. 

"Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them."  (Acts 5:15 KJV)
