Call to Intercession: Dreamed War from Hevron to Jerusalem

04-16-14 Dream – War in Hevron 


I had this dream just before I woke up Wednesday morning about 4:30 am.

A war was taking place over the land about who the rightful owners were. There was a
home I entered into and I began to walk through a walk way in the home. It was paved
with cobblestone. It looked much like the stone the streets and walkways in the Old City
of Jerusalem are made of. There was a little boy in this house painting on a canvass with
oil paint; he was dripping blood red paint on the cobblestone walkway as he painted.

The war which was outside the house had somehow now moved inside the house. The
people were pointing at the blood red paint on the cobblestone walkway saying, “See,
here is the proof the land is ours because it is covered in, and paid for, with our very own
blood!” Then I heard all the people agree with this declaration and a great celebration
began.

Then I saw coins minted by the state to commemorate this day. There were coins made of
silver and of gold. They had written on the backside of the coin, “This Is Our Land!”
Every coin made was placed in a frame to hang on a wall. Not one of the coins front side
could be seen. End of dream.


I believe the Lord is calling intercessors to be attentive to the current events in Hevron
with regard to the Jewish family that was attacked a few days ago. It will turn out to be
that a fuse has been lit. This event will turn out to be a tipping point for an ongoing
division from within the State of Israel causing the division be unified on how to deal
with the ongoing terrorist attacks in Hevron. This will cause there to be a consensus
among the majority which says, “This is our land and enough is enough!” Once these
words are put to action, there will be a shaking in the land that will begin in Hevron
leading up to, and into, the Old City, even to the very Temple Mount. The day will be
remembered as a picture is framed and hung on a wall and as a coin is minted to
commemorate a historical event.

  • Pray for PM and advisers, military and the soldiers for strength and courage
  • Pray for the families of those serving in the IDF
  • Pray for a dismantling of military weapons and plans against Israel. No weapon formed against them shall prosper!
  • Pray for all plans against Israel by nations that pretend to be for them to be exposed and undone.
  • Pray without ceasing and as the Lord leads…
  • Declare the land belongs to Israel! The land is the home of the Jews!

Isaiah 62:6-7

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth

As intercessors, we must remember to pray and to yield to the Spirit of intercession. Push through the distractions and the mind games the enemy will try to hinder you with. Do whatever it takes to stay in that place because the nations are depending on the intercessors to decree, declare and establish what the Lord is doing this day and hour upon the earth.


Please feel free to share this with others as you are lead to and reach out to others and encourage them to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Teach them why they should. I believe the Lord will teach you what you ought to say and how to say it.

Blessings,

Samuel

You have been made “Set Established”


John 15:16 KJV
Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.

I love this verse because what it is really saying is first, He chose us we did not choose Him. So that means He chose us with a purpose. Would you agree that anything He does He does it with a purpose? Of course the answer is yes. So then did He create you? The answer is yes. So then He created you with a purpose right? And that purpose is good, filled with prosperity, a future and hope. Second, is that we should bear fruit and that our fruit should remain. In other words, the good things He is doing in our lives, the deliverance, the healings, the ministry, the business and all the other good works the Lord is doing in us and through us are not meant to be temporary, but they are meant to be permanent.

I want to point out something Jesus says that is so powerful. Well, anything Jesus says is powerful, but you know what I mean. He says, but I have chosen you, and ordained you… Wow, first He chooses us and says to us He did this so we can go bear fruit that remains, good works that will glorify the Father (and His great love for us). But then He says that He ordained or appointed us to do these things.

It means –
-         to set, fix establish
-         to name to assign to a position, an office, or the like; designate
-         to determine by authority or agreement; fix; set
-         to designate (a person) to take the benefit designated by an estate created by a deed or will
-         to provide with what is necessary; equip; furnish
-         to order or establish by decree or command; ordain; constitute

Jesus is saying He has already fixed and established you to bear much fruit in your life that the devil can’t steal unless you allow him to. It is your birthright as a son or daughter of God to benefit from all the kingdom has to offer because you have been given the deed or will to the kingdom.

Jeremiah 1:5 WEB
Before I formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee...

Again, the Lord is saying you had nothing to do with His choosing you. You did not even exist at the time He planned everything for you. You were not even an embryo at the time He chose you. But again, He says, He chose you and sanctified you at the same time. Don’t forget! He did this before you were formed in the womb; you had nothing to do with it. Sanctified means to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified and to be separate. This is what He did for you before you were an embryo.

                           

Ephesians 2:10 NKJV
For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before-hand that we should walk in them.

So this is an interesting verse. Apparently, we are God’s workmanship created for good works He created beforehand.  As in before we were formed in the womb? Hmm… I’m starting to see a pattern here. I am not being sarcastic by saying apparently, but I use the word because it means capable of being easily perceived or understood; plain and clear; obvious. Some synonyms are discernible, open, conspicuous, manifest, unmistakable, apparent, evident, obvious, patent and they all refer to something easily perceived. Wow! You are so set up for success! You are now able to easily perceive and understand that He chose you and you did not choose Him. He sanctified you and set you apart. He set you fixed and established. He provided you with what is necessary to overcome and be victorious. He equipped and furnished all you need. He consecrated you and made you holy unto Him. He called and equipped you before you were born. He created good works for you to walk in beforehand. And the most interesting part of this verse is you are God’s workmanship created in Christ. You have been created in Christ and in the power of His might, but this has been done so you can, in Christ and His power and might, walk in good works, which God prepared first then He formed you in the womb.


 Psalm 139:13-18 NKJV
For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet, there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts towards me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with you.

What a mighty God we serve! He’s so good! In other words, this life God has planned for you is so other worldly rich in blessing that is must be a dream. It has to be a dream because there is no way life can be this good even if it were planned before you were ever born, but then the writer wakes from his assumed dream only to find God is still there with him and the dream is true. The dream was true for him and the dream is true for you and all you have to do is believe God.

Genesis 15:1, 6 NKJV
After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” …And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

All you have to do is believe that God is going to do what He says. Believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth and keep taking steps forward. No matter how many times you fall or fail, get up and keep walking forward. The Lord Himself says a good man will fall, but the Lord upholds him by His hand. Even this the Lord does by His hand.

This part might ruff some feathers. The Lord Jesus Himself, while carrying His cross on His way to the place of the skull, fell several times under the weight of the cross. His goal was to get to Golgotha where He was to be crucified, but He couldn't make it all the way on His own. The weight of the cross was too heavy so someone had to help our Lord and Savior carry His cross the rest of the way. Can you image if the first time He fell with the cross He thought to Himself, "I've failed, I can't make it the rest of the way?" No, He didn't do that. He kept His eyes on the prize, kept getting back up and trying again. He took another step closer. God even had to send someone to help Jesus carry the cross the rest of the way to the place where He would be crucified, but He did it! Hallelujah!

Let me also be clear about one thing. The prize Jesus kept His eyes on was not making it the place where He was too be crucified, but the prize He kept His eyes on that gave Him the will to finish His race was YOU. In the Bible you are described as "the Joy that was set before Him"  

I want to encourage you today to remember how you began your walk with the Lord. Simply put, we humbled ourselves before the Lord and acknowledged we were sinners in bondage and unable to save ourselves. He then forgives us and gives us His righteousness, which is of God Himself. He filled us with His Spirit and begins a good work in us. Scripture says we should be confident (it should be apparent to us) of this very thing, that He who has begun this good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…Philippians 1:6 NKJV Meditate on these things and let them establish you in mind and spirit, causing you to be rooted and grounded.

No matter what comes against you in the natural or in the spirit, you have already been prepared to do good works in the situation. You have been appointed by God to bring Him glory. He’s given it to you…the keys to the kingdom. You have a place at the Father’s table and no one can take that from you. Believe these things and practice them. Never stop believing. Never stop trying. The Lord will meet you where the rubber meets the road. It’s a fixed fight. You win.

I want to leave you with the following scriptures. Keep them in your heart and ponder them all the days of your life.

Proverbs 4:10-13
Hear, My son, and receive My sayings, and the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk you steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; keep her, for she is your life.

Psalm 119:165
Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. 


My prayer for you today is the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. 

Samuel...smashing pillars, raising sons.

Shalom!

 
Romans 8:37-39
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor dep
th, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord...not even when life gives you a flat tire because God will always give you a donut to get you back on the road to destiny.

Shalom! God breaks the yoke that binds you to chaos!
 
Father, release a fresh anointing to the reader of this post today and break the yoke that binds them to chaos. Let your shalom fill them and every situation concerning them now. I thank you for doing it because I know you hear my voice Abba and it is your good pleasure to do it. You're awesome :)

02-07-14 Prophetic Word - Let NO-thing hold you back!


Don't let anything hold you back. Go for it. Those around you will either support you or criticize you. Let both motivate you to give it your all. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus the Christ, and you will succeed. Might as well get used to it, not all people are for you, not all people want to see you succeed. They will be quick to tell you what God is telling them to tell you to do, but hardly ever do anything themselves. Rise up above the approvals of men for motivation to act. You are already approved. You are already equipped. Be very careful of those who are always lifting you up saying how awesome you are and how powerful you are because they will also be the first pull you down and trash you. Walk in love, godly love and not sensual love. Believe the best, but most of all, believe God and His Word. Give Him the glory always and He will direct your steps. Boast about Christ and Him crucified. Preach His gospel and not some gospel contrary to the gospel of His kingdom and you will see the salvation of the Lord move for those who believe.... if you believe.

Prosperity - God knit something in me that needs to be uncovered and blossom.


Hebraic prospective on prosperity - God knit something in me that needs to be uncovered and blossom.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers. 

Prosperity is not praying and laying your hands on a new house or car and then getting it. Prosperity is much more than that, but you have to look at it from the Hebraic perspective noted above.

Psalm 139:13 
For You formed my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother's womb. 

God knit prosperity in your very being, it is hidden in the marrow in your bones. (Chuck Pierce's words) It is literally in your blood. Prosperity runs through your veins. It is laying somewhere in the marrow waiting for God to uncover it by His prophetic word over you. That prophetic word is the key to unlocking, or uncovering, the prosperity God has knit into you which will cause it to come forth and blossom. Here's the proof - Hebrews 4:12 
For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between the soul and the spirit, between the joint and the marrow. It exposes (uncovers) our inner most thoughts and desires. 

Think about this - Jesus said, out of your belly (inner most being) will flow rivers of living waters. He was speaking about the spirit man and not the soul. So if the Word of God divides the soul and the spirit, exposing the inner most thoughts and desires of a person, then the key to getting the desires of our hearts uncovered and revealed is the Word because only the Word can uncover, bring forth and then blossom what He has placed the marrow of each and every believer.

When He releases His prophetic word over you, it uncovers that which has been knit into your inner most being, when He knit you together in your mother's womb. Then what God has knit in you comes forth and begins to blossom. You begin to walk in prosperity or in others words, you begin to manifest the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. 


Luke 17:20-12 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor with they say, see here or see there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you...Prosperity! 

God has always wanted us to have a harvest mentality so He built His covenants around harvest, increase in other words. God has more covenants than just the Old and New Covenants. The only way to truly prosper, to gain harvest and increase with God, is through covenant with God. Study it for yourself. 

So when the word is spoken over you that reveals the desires God has placed in your inner most being, the key to unlocking it, is doing that word. It is allowing Him to take you through the process required to unlock the prosperity God has for you, which will lie dormant until He uncovers it. We are all called to prosper as sons of God, but many never enter into prosperity because not many are willing to go through the process required so that it may come forth and begin to blossom.

In others words, many never ever realize the potential for prosperity that God has placed in them because many are not willing to walk in covenant with Him. 

New Territory ...to us a great door has been opened

Transition - New Season of Fruitfulness

I originally received this word last year, but just now released to share it. Praying for you bride. 



05-16-13 Transitioning into a New Season of Fruitfulness

I woke this morning hearing the words to a song in my spirit. The song is by a new friend, a brother the Lord brought into my life recently…Cephas the Remnant (look him up) 

The words go some thing like this:

Heaven is calling,
One step away;
Won’t you say yes?
He’s calling out your name.

As I was hearing this song in my spirit, I realized the Lord had something to say and just then I saw a vision of Him standing in front of a banana tree, but He had His back to me. Suddenly, He had a machete in His hand and He cut the banana tree down. After a short while, two banana trees sprang up. When they produced bananas, He cut down the banana trees down again. After a while they sprang up again, twice as much as before. When they produced bananas, He harvested them and cut the trees down again. And yes, twice as many banana trees sprang up again. End of vision

Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Lord is saying to many this morning, you are in a time of transition. Do not be discouraged if it seems like fruit is not being produced in your life at the moment. In fact, for some, it may seem like the fruit in your life and ministry is somehow diminishing instead of increasing, but the Lord is causing you to decrease so that He may increase you more and more. The devil would like to convince you that your ministry is not as fruitful as it once was, but the Spirit says; you are being transitioned into a new season. Therefore, do not grow weary and do not cast away your confidence in the promises made to you because He is not slack concerning them. Hallelujah! Hold on; keep on believing, keep on faithing, because you’re on the brink of breakthrough.

John 15:1-2 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

It is the Lord causing what seems to be a diminishing of fruitfulness and activity in your life and ministry, but there is a purpose. That purpose is for a cutting off of the old branches to make way for the new branches that will bear new fruit. You have done nothing wrong, you have done everything right. A cutting away of the dead things never is a pleasant experience, but once it’s over then the new growth begins and soon the fruit. Expect big this year. I hear the words “bumper crop” a very good friend of mine likes to say “exponential growth”. The door for opportunity is open and there is great potential for things to get real good for those who are positioning themselves…aligning themselves correctly with the Lord, His word, His timing and in His kingdom. His purpose is for the showing forth of His glory through His sons and daughters.

Job 14:7-9, 14 For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant. If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes.

Just like in the vision, the Lord would cut down the banana tree after it bore fruit. After a while, a season, it grew back twice as much. You may be in that in between season of feeling like a stump in the ground. Let me remind you what happens next…double! Double happens next…praise, worship, adoration and thanksgiving can act like Miracle Grow to speed up the process a little. Hmmm….

Job 8:21-22; 11:16, 19 He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing…because you will remember it as waters that have passed away. You will also lie down and no one will make you afraid. Yes, many will court your favor.

Just a few observations about some of the symbolism in the dream:

  • The machete the cutting away banana trees – repentance, change, discipline; cutting back for increased harvest and fruit.
  • The banana, which is the result of the cutting back and pruning – gentleness; easy to open up and share the sweet soft inside…which is really more of Jesus coming out of us and less of self. That is always His intended result, that we be more conformed to His image.
  • Yellow - gift as in gift of God or from God, honor, light (revelation), renewed mind, courage, celebration and joy
  • The backside of the Lord – is His glory.
Exodus 33:22-23 So shall it be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back (Glory); but My face shall not be seen. 

Be encouraged, your future is looking bright.

911 - The Lord is sounding an urgent warning to us


1 Peter 5:8-11
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing the the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 

For weeks now I have been turning to see the time 9:11, mornings and evenings. I've been seeing it in many other places ***911, 911xxx, 000911000, ...911... and so on.

The Lord is clearly sounding an urgent warning to us. I have asked and sought the Lord about this and He said...Don't you know what time it is? Are you also asleep and dull of hearing? So I have made you to be a sign and symbol of the Church today. Asleep and dull of hearing, but confesses to hear and know the voice of God. If My people will turn from their wicked ways and pray to Me then I will make known to them that which is about to be revealed and unleashed that they may be prepared and unafraid of the things they will see with their eyes and hear with their ears. Deception and gross deception has lulled My people to sleep and is tormenting them in their dreams, but I am raising up My trumpets out of the remnant to sound the call to awake the Sleepers, but not too many will hear the call for their sleep is too deep....they are too busy. End

Then the Lord showed me many asleep as He said, but they were not sleeping as I imaged they would be...in a bed with eyes closed. They were doing various things - watching secular television shows and Christian television shows...glued to their television sets, sports shows, hobbies, programs, church programs, shopping at malls, partying in homes and clubs and many other forms of what we call life and living, but in all these different scenes the people were all in what looked like a state of hypnosis or a trance.

He said, My people are too busy by design of the enemy to keep them distracted and unaware of that which is being plotted against them. Wake My people up.

1 Thessalonians 5:3-7
For when they say, Peace and safety! then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should not over take you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk get drunk at night. 

We must not grow weary in intercession. We must not give Him rest, but we must be vigilant to pray and fast...it may be the people will begin to stir and rouse from their deep sleep, but we must not fear them nor fear being rejected. We must stir the people of God to wake up. 

Please feel free to share...
