3/25/19 OVERCOMING DEMONIC
RESISTANCE TO ENTER INTIMACY WITH THE LORD
HEARD AND IMPRESSION:
Safety from he who puffs at you. A bombardment.
Learning to focus. Where are your thoughts? This is a
discipline. Direct them upon Me. I had the brief
impression that Jesus and I were standing on a foot bridge
that was very high up. He was facing me and had His hands
on both sides of my face and beckoning me to look straight
at Him and not on anything else.
This is about your faith. Do you have the faith to enter
in? Porthole. Remember Annie’s battles. Climax.
EXCERPTS FROM ANNIE’S VISIONS
(Annie Schisler)
http://www.thequickenedword.com/annie.htm
FROM ANNIE’S VISIONS BOOK 1
On the 4th of October I had a most difficult battle to be
able to draw near unto Him in prayer because I was filled
with great discouragements and gripped by thoughts from the
enemy which I could not shut out. Suddenly He came to me in
tender love covering me inside and outside with that sweet
love. He did not scold me for my discouragements but just
told me He loved me very much and that I need not fear at
all. He said that when I would listen to Him and to what He
said that He was there Himself present whether I saw or felt
Him or not. He had listened to all the fightings within my
mind and even to my desperate thoughts of flight to escape
from the battle and from my feeling of much nervousness. He
told me that I needed to be still. When I would become
really still within, then I could enter into Him
immediately. Having battled for several hours I felt myself
physically exhausted when He spoke saying, “I am your
strength and your refuge. Do not fear.” Immediately I felt
fully re-leased from every fear and troubling spirit. His
great strength en-folded me as great security entered into
me and I was most greatly encouraged. Nor did the enemy
again return to bother me.
FROM BOOK 1
I found it extremely difficult to enter into His presence
this day. Never before at any time had there been such great
opposition. It seemed that I could find no way at all to
draw near unto Him. All ways and means of prayer that I had
formerly used now seemed in vain. In my desperation I wanted
to escape because I feared that He would deny me further
entrance into His presence. After long hours of battle I was
finally able to enter. And, oh, how sweetly He welcomed me,
covering, enclosing me with His tenderness. When He assured
me of His love, the long battle seemed most insignificant.
With Him in His great glory Cloud I heard Him say, "My love
in you is your strength.
FROM BOOK 2
When I open my spirit unto the Lord, the opposing forces
come and try in every way to hinder my reaching Him; many
times I must fight against fierce spiritual opposition. Very
few times am I given entrance without several hours of
battle against enemy forces that often become even visible.
Because they are very powerful I must rebuke them in the
spirit before they allow me to go on into His presence.
FROM BOOK 2
Again today there was much opposition. It was a long, hard
battle and the evil ones seemed tireless in their
determination to keep me from coming to Jesus. But at last
He took mercy upon me and took me up into the spirit and
transported me through that wondrous doorway of the cross
unto Himself. The enemy could do no more to hinder. Jesus
washed away all my fears by His word, then filled me with
the wonder of His love and brought me unto Himself.
FROM BOOK 2
Today’s prayer time was a long, lonely battle against every
form of opposition the enemy could bring. I grew so weary of
the battle that I wanted to quit and leave. But He continued
to draw me on until in blessed mercy He began to release my
spirit unto Himself. Passing through that door of the
blessed cross I heard His voice coming to me in sweetest
tones. How welcome it was to my hurting soul! “Fear not. For
as I have kept you until now, so will I continue to keep
you. I will surely fulfill My work.” His words brought
refreshing relief from all the frightening fears of that
warfare.
3/25/19 AMAZING CONFIRMATION TAO –
EXERCISE TO ENTER INTO REST
TAO SAW (3/25/19): I went up a few steps and entered
into a gym. I saw a bed hanging up in the air and it was
close to ceiling; it was the bed of a young guy, he looked
tall, strong and was in good shape. Then I saw a gym
facility in the room, he used it for exercise.
Quickened: determined, steel, courageous. Go up and
dwell in high. rise above the realm where the enemies can
reach. Rest in the Lord. It is gym time, walk in faith and
build up your muscles. Take a firm stand at the face of
adversity, be determined and resolute, put on the full armor
of God.
"Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be
disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and
I know I will not be put to shame." (Isaiah 50:7)
"Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar
and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against
the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the
people of the land. 1hey will fight against you but will not
overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,”
declares the Lord." (Jeremiah 1:18-19)
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty
power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take
your stand against the devil’s schemes." (Ephesus 6:10-11)
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you." (James 4:7)
SANDY COMMENTS: When I read Tao’s vision, I saw how
it perfectly dovetailed with my devotions and the Lord
imparted to me that this team message is about Hebrews 4
that we must LABOR to enter
into rest. Physically it is about being calm and
submissive and at rest. Spiritually it is about our level
of FAITH to enter in to totally connect with Him. When I saw
how Tao’s vision dovetailed with mine, I remembered this
scripture:
Hebrews 4:11 Let us
labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man
fall after the same example of unbelief.
LABOR

WORD TO PONDER: OVERCOMING DEMONIC RESISTANCE 3/25/19
Dear ones, yes that battle rages in all levels of life.
Even though you suffer obstacles, always know that I am with
you always. I have never left you dear ones! Some of the
warfare you suffer is because you have opened demonic doors
and need to close them through repentance and change.
However there are other demonic issues I have allowed to
drive you to Me. Learn to discipline yourselves so that you
are not disciplined elsewise. As you discipline your own
thoughts, attitudes, choices, it closes much of the
resistance you suffer and it brings you into My rest.
Precious ones, I do not expect you to use your own strength,
but to run to Me for it. You cannot live the Christian life
in our own power. Come to Me and CLING. I will give you My
grace, strength and power to resist so that the demonic
resistance will flee.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is
sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in
weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my
weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's
sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
