Continued Revelation from 3 More Films (“SALT,” “SH:Game of Shadows,” and “MI:Ghost Protocol.”) – part 2

by // // No Comments

Note 8 – Part 2 (continued from same day) (Part 1 here; Navigation forward and backward also at bottom of screen)

In the film, SALT was assigned as an agent to bring destruction on our nation (representing Salt’s usage in Scripture for judgment). However, she works frantically to try to save the nation and prevent this destruction from coming to pass (representing Salt’s usage in Scripture to PRESERVE society and prevent its corruption/decay and destruction/judgment by PRESERVING God’s Truth). The message in the film is the same as the message God’s been giving ~ if Salt’s attempts to do so are rejected by the nation, the nation will be destroyed. But are we hearing what the Spirit is saying?

Those in authority must decide whether to continue to falsely accuse SALT (Truth), seeing her actions through distorted and deceptive salt arrestedlenses which cause them to misjudge and misperceive everything she does as being the work of the enemy, and pursuing her with intent to imprison or kill (representing the world’s false accusations against God’s Salt/Word/Truth and those who uphold it ~ misjudging and misperceiving it as causing harm, attempting to quarantine it to the private sector of life, and to ultimately eliminate it from society). Or they must decide to finally look at the evidence without prejudice, understand SALT’s real purpose, and free her to proceed with her work of exposing and stopping the true enemies, who, if left unchecked, will destroy the nation (representing the world’s need to understand the real purpose of God’s Word/Truth and allow it to expose and stop our true enemies in the spiritual realm and those they’re working through before it’s too late). In the film, as is also true in its spiritual application, those who think they’re justified in their beliefs about SALT and their mission to stop her, ironically end up deceived by the real enemy and open the way for his destructive work. They fought against the very one who was trying to help and save them, while embracing the one who intended to destroy them. In the film, though SALT saves the nation, she’s still accused of trying to destroy it. But she is set free by one who finally sees the truth and understands her purpose, so that she can continue her work to expose and stop the real enemy (with further confirmations seen in this process of our previous themes of “open doors” and “leaps of faith”).

Though I didn’t take too many in-depth notes from the movie itself, afterward Jesse turned on the extras and then the revelation began to explode. Immediately we were being blown away with confirmations!! Because the Lord brought up so many additional things this past weekend while I was finishing editing this, once again the note grew to an unmanageable size. So, we had to decide which things to group together. Ultimately, we decided to chop out some of the major confirmations from SALT and the confirmation from church (mentioned in note 7) to save them for the next note, in order to leave room for various confirmations that all fit together here.

The following is taken from the last segment of extras we saw from SALT, after we were already beside ourselves in awe from previous confirmations. This was taken from an interview with the director Philip Noyce and delves into more depth about the prophetic warning from the film ~

Noyce began to discuss how the basic premise of the movie is really not far-fetched. He talked about how it’s absolutely true that there are “SLEEPER SPIES,” who are prepared from childhood to be Americans. They are sent to the country where they’re to spy and then go undercover (or are “put to sleep”) for 15 to 20 years as they work their way up in whatever sphere they’ve been assigned to – whether government, administration, the military, etc. He continued by explaining that “Day X,” referred to in the film, actually exists. Although it may seem like an invention of a Hollywood screenwriter – it’s not a game or a fabrication; it’s real. Noyce said,

“Day X is the day, designated by the KGB, where all the sleeper spies are to rise up; and on the day when war starts between the Soviet Union and the US, that would be the day the sleeper spies rise up and commit acts of biological warfare, assassination, and destruction in their host country.”

Interviewer: “Basically destroying the infrastructure of the country.”

russian sleeper spiesNoyce: “Exactly – it’s all real. What we see in “SALT” and what we saw with the alleged 11 spies found in NY – that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If there’s 11, do you think there’s only 11? There’s 11-hundred. And they’re not housewives. NO. They’re not sent to go sit in the suburbs. They’re sent in order to work their way up into positions of power. Because if you have the leader of a country who’s actually from the enemy country – it’s the ultimate weapon.” (Noyce had said previously that his dad – who was a real spy – always told him that the ultimate weapon was not some sort of man-made weapon; the ultimate weapon is a human being.)

We were OVERWHELMED by this. We could have easily been tempted to give little thought or credence to reports of Russian sleeper cells and Day X, had we seen this another time or in another way. But due to all the Lord’s been showing us, and due to all the other precise and undeniable confirmations He had just inundated us with as we watched the previous segments (shared in note 9), we felt this part, too, was truly a word from Him! This caused us to think back on how many times the Scriptures He’s given us to warn of coming destruction have involved a nation coming “from the North” that He would use to bring judgment on His people who had turned away from Him.

Knowing, from all our pastor has been doing to help educate the church about radical Islam’s plans (including bringing in General Jerry Boykin and Kamal Saleem, etc), we knew of the need to be aware of the hidden plans and sleeper cells connected with Middle Eastern nations who desire to destroy us from within, but we had not heard about the need to be aware of the same things occurring through Russia. So we began to question the Lord about Russia’s role in what’s being planned against our nation and whether one nation’s plans to destroy us are a more critical factor right now than the other.

TODAY (Saturday 3-22-14), when I woke up I felt led to look up the meaning of the name Vladimir Putin. Interestingly, Vladimir means “Great Ruler, Ruler of Peace, Ruler of the World,” …or “World Peace.”  – http://www.behindthename.com/name/vladimir , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_%28name%29 (and others). Putin means “to set up for use or to introduce” – https://www.wordnik.com/words/Putin

… to set up for use or introduce World Peace (which we would know would be a false peace – as discussed in note 7), or to set up or introduce a Ruler of the World. …I’m not saying anything definitive, but found it thought provoking.

A little later in the morning, I was watching clips from a prophetic word a friend posted (from a man that I’m not really familiar with but have heard others speak of from time to time – Kim Clement). It was nearly 2 hours long, and since I don’t typically watch him and didn’t have time to listen to the whole thing, I scrolled to different places and stopped momentarily to see what was being said. Toward the end, they re-aired some of his previous prophetic words from years ago to show how they were tying in to things happening now. When I heard this one, I believed the Lord had led me to listen in order to give further confirmation in response to our prayers. After talking about the danger Israel is presently in, the host of the video said:

“We’re going to now deal with another country, Russia and also Iran, and you’re going to see how a prophetic insight given years ago is now coming to pass right now; and …the deception that one nation, specifically Russia, is using against America and Israel. Right now, just the last few days, in the midst of this runaway jet, the nations including US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, and Iran have found the time to meet together to work towards a permanent agreement for Iran, where Iran will have less sanctions and in return Iran says they will decrease their nuclear capabilities. This negotiating is happening and Russia is one of the hands on the table. But Kim gave prophetic insight April 17, 2010, regarding Russia, regarding Iran, and regarding America and what they (Russia & Iran) really want – and that’s Israel.”

He then replayed Clement’s prophetic word from 2010 ~“America, you are in the way of Russia; you are in the way of Iran. They want to strangle Israel so they will attempt to do it to you. BUT IT WON’T COME FROM THE OUTSIDE, IT WILL COME FROM THE INSIDE.” (They then replayed another prophecy from August 22, 2010 about the deceitfulness of Russia’s actions). After advising us to remember that Russia is meeting with the nations to try to come to a peace agreement with Iran about Putin in Irandecreasing their nuclear capabilities, he then aired a clip from the Jerusalem Post which said, “Iran and Russia sign on to build more nuclear plants at Bushehr.” The host said, “That means, while the world powers are meeting together to lower Iran’s nuclear powers, Russia is signing an agreement with Iran to build two additional nuclear power plants…. Do you see the deception that’s happening? Russia and Iran are coming into agreement. But it was prophesied about years in advance.” (and not only by Clement – I remember hearing people prophesying a decade ago about these alliances that would form in the end, based on their interpretation of end-time prophecies from the Bible, and we’re now seeing them emerge before our eyes.) Though the host suggested that perhaps this destruction coming “from the inside” was a reference to Russia’s involvement in helping to put in place impotent and deceptive sanctions on Iran which only give them more time to complete their nuclear weapons, we couldn’t help but think that the Lord was showing us this at this moment to also further confirm what the film revealed about Russian sleeper cells “on the inside” and “Day X” plans of destruction.

We didn’t feel we could ignore the timing of receiving this confirmation – through a link I normally wouldn’t have watched – while we were trying to finish this note which addresses sleeper cells intending to destroy us from the “inside” (and while still praying about the implications of the film, SALT). Though we already believed it to be the case, we didn’t realize that within hours the Lord would be highlighting additional confirmations about deception occurring at peace conferences and about world war through the films He led us to see this past weekend.

(Later that day I saw another article posted about how our leaders’ push to cut our military budget is bringing great advantage to our enemies (as discussed in the “Dark of the Moon” notes). This article spoke about how the balance of world power is experiencing a major shift, and said that while our nation is now taking a back seat through our leaders’ decisions, Russia (as well as Iran and China) is moving forward to claim the places we are abdicating in multiple nations. The author marveled that we haven’t seen Russia exerting itself as it now is for 3 decades).

Continued Revelation from 3 More Films (“SALT,” “SH:Game of Shadows,” and “MI:Ghost Protocol.”) – part 1

by // // No Comments

(in the conclusion of note 7 I said, “Because of the additional things He showed us, I can’t finish this in one note. So this will have to be continued….”  Here is the continuation…)

Note 8 – Part 1:

The next weekend (March 1) we prayed again regarding what we needed to see/know. I had a title come to my heart, but didn’t say anything, waiting to see if Jesse would be led to the same. Instead, he felt led to “SALT.” We had seen it a few years ago, and I remembered saltit was about a spy, but had forgotten the connection with RUSSIA. What struck me when he picked that film was the title, due to all God’s emphasized the past few years about the necessity of becoming the SALT (and LIGHT) He’s called us to be. Apparently Jesse had also forgotten it involved Russia, since after he’d picked it and was reading the box before it began, he said it was interesting we were being led to that film in light of all that’s happening with Russia right now. Any question in my mind about whether the Lord was really leading us to see this film was quickly dissipating.

Although I don’t go in depth about the plot, since the film takes you on the journey of discovering the truth about one who is accused, and this note reveals the mystery surrounding her true character, I’ll issue the *spoiler* alert again. (Later in the note I also briefly discuss 2 other films He led us to see this past weekend, so I’m giving the same alert for them as well.)

The movie is named after the lead character, Evelyn Salt. Profoundly – It is SALT who thwarts and overthrows the evil plots and plans of the enemy (who in this film is RUSSIA) to start war with America and dominate the world! May we have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying!

SALT represents God’s Truth. Interestingly, like Pillars (discussed in note 7), salt can represent something either positive or negative in Scripture. On the negative side, salt can represent judgment, where the judgment is to be so severe that the land will remain desolate, never to be restored (Genesis 19:26, Deuteronomy 29:23, Judges 9:45, Psalm 107:33-34, Jeremiah 17:5-6, Ezekiel 47:11, Zephaniah 2:9). Even in this usage of salt for judgment, salt can still represent God’s Truth, His Word. I believe He showed me that in these cases becoming a desolate salt land was a judgment on lands and people who lost or rejected His “Salt” ~ who chose to cast off and reject His Truth (His Word). In other words, those who rejected His “Salt” (Truth), were eventually judged by Salt (Truth). This principle is seen when Jesus told us that the same Word (Truth / Salt) that would have saved us (PRESERVED us) if we had received it, held to it, continued/endured in it, put it into practice, and built our lives on it, will actually judge us in the end if we reject it instead (John 5:24; 8:31-59; 12:44-50, Matthew 7:13-29, Luke 6:46-49; 8:20-21, Revelation 3:8-10, Revelation 19:11-16).

Psalm 107:34 says the land was turned to salt “because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it,” and Jeremiah 17:5-6 states that this curse will be the condition of those “whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord.” The latter brings to mind Lot’s wife (Since we’re talking about Pillars and Salt in these notes, you knew we had to go there, right?). The spiritual reality that her heart and mind had turned aside from the Lord is represented by her physical actions of turning back from the way the Lord was leading in order to gaze (likely longingly) upon her former home/life in Sodom and Gomorrah, despite the Lord’s clear warning not to do so (Genesis 19). From the evidence of the land in that region now, we know these cities were not only destroyed by fire raining down from heaven, but that they also received God’s irrevocable judgment of Salt (for rejecting His Salt/Truth), preventing them from ever being rebuilt or restored. Deuteronomy 29:23 and Zephaniah 2:9 confirm this.

In the same way, when Lot’s wife’s heart turned aside from the Lord to the things of this world, the same judgment of Salt overtook her ~lots-wife-salt turning her to salt along with the land. (She was turned into a pillar of salt – pillar in this case likely represents a monument or a witness to God’s judgment on her and the land for rejecting His Salt/Truth.) This turning of her body (mirroring the turning that had taken place in her heart) revealed her true treasure was in the things of this world and not in God (Matthew 6:19-21 ~ continuing the message God’s been giving of idolatry). She was then turned into a physical representation of the very thing she had spiritually failed to be (a Pillar of God – as discussed in note 7 –  and His Salt, who follows the Lord out of the ways of the world). By turning back she became a monument and witness to the judgment that will ultimately overtake those who fail to be His Pillars (see note 7) and reject His Salt (Word/Truth).

Before we dismiss the judgment of Lot’s wife as a one-time event from the Old Testament that has no relevance for us today, we should remember that Jesus is actually the One who makes her account significant to us today by connecting it to the message of the end, specifically telling us to remember her fate.

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. Remember Lot’s wife! Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will PRESERVE it. I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” “Where, Lord?” they asked. He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.” Luke 17:26-37

When I asked the Lord about His seemingly strange dead body/vulture response, I believe He may have showed me that the context of this passage, as well as Matthew 24 and Matthew 13, reveal that those “taken away” are not those who are raptured (as often interpreted), but those who, as in Noah’s flood, were taken away (Mt 24:39) by judgment/death on that Day (hence the dead bodies/vultures). Rather than experiencing this form of being “taken away,”  in Revelation 3, the Lord rocked my world when He showed me that He promised those in the church of Philadelphia who have PRESERVED and kept His Word (Greek word tēreō, meaning those who have ~ attended to carefully, taken care of; guarded; kept, in the state in which he is {in other words, PRESERVED}; observed {to see, watch, perceive, or notice; to regard with attention, especially so as to see or learn something;…to state by way of comment; remark; to keep or maintain in one’s action, conduct…}; reserved) that God will return the favor by PRESERVING and keeping them (same Greek word tēreō ~ attend to carefully, take care of; guard; keep, in the state in which he is {in other words, PRESERVE}, observe, reserve) (Revelation 3:7-13)! Therefore, we see in both cases that our fate is determined by what we do with God’s Word (and Jesus, the Living Word). If we reject it (Him), we will be rejected/judged by it (Him) in the end. If we receive, attend to carefully, guard, preserve, and keep it (Him), we will be received, carefully attended to, guarded, preserved, and kept.

As mentioned in the post on election day 2012 ~  one of the verses the Lord gave us repeatedly for the church since Spring of 2012 (regarding our need to speak His Truth and stand against the destruction of our Christian foundation and heritage in this nation) was ~ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (see Matthew 5:10-13) Here again we see consequence/judgment that follows the failure to be the salt He’s called us to be. It’s believed that salt lost its saltiness by becoming contaminated by other minerals (through being mixed with them). In regard to Salt representing God’s Word, this can refer to the contamination and adulteration of God’s Word by mixing it with other philosophies and ideologies (theologies). In regard to salt representing God’s people (as the salt of the earth), this can represent failure to fulfill our purpose as the salt of the earth due to becoming mixed in with the “earth” (the world – becoming “of the world” rather than just “in it,” but not “of it”). This is the same message demonstrated by the blood moons, mentioned in note 7, of allowing the world to influence and interfere with our purpose, preventing us from being/doing what we were called to be/do.

The election-day post (2012) also mentioned how the Lord had been reminding us that one of the positive and essential purposes of salt (which was known to everyone during that time) is to PRESERVE, to prevent corruption/decay. Therefore, part of our purpose as SALT is to PRESERVE God’s standard in society (His Word, His PILLARS of Truth) and to prevent moral corruption and decay. If we lose our SALTiness (by failing to preserve His Truth and allowing moral corruption and decay in society), Jesus says we will we be thrown out and trampled underfoot. We’ve already been seeing this happen to a degree in this nation, through the consequences of the Pillars of God’s Word that our nation was built on being torn down and the pillars of the kingdom of darkness being set up and established (as discussed in note 7). But the Lord has also been giving warnings for the past several years that this will happen to a much greater degree, with destruction coming on the whole nation (we believe He’s spoken in terms of leaving only a remnant), if we do not repent and fully return to Him and His Word.

Though we know the chapter and verse divisions in Scripture were added by men, there are times when they also seem inspired. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the verse ~ “From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him” (which speaks about the multitude who turned away from following Jesus after hearing His hard teachings – as discussed in the prophetic word from 2012, parts 1-8) is recorded in John 6:66 ~ a number which represents the antichrist and the powerful delusion of his message of lawlessness (the acceptance of continuing in sin rather than repenting/turning from it – Mt 24, II Thess 2) that will result (is already resulting) in a great falling away (apostasy) from the Lord and His Truth.

Also mentioned in the election-day (2012) post, in Mark 9:49-50 Jesus said that everyone will be SALTed with fire. The cross reference for this passage points to Leviticus 2:13, where Israel was told that every sacrifice must have salt – they were not to leave the salt of the covenant of God out of their offerings. Mark 9:50 connects that to us, saying that in the same way we are to have salt in ourselves ~ since we are to be living sacrifices (Romans 12:1-2). As the natural realm testifies, having salt in us is essential for life. God’s Salt (Word/Truth) is to remain and abide in us and we are to remain and abide in Him (His Word/Truth) (John 8, 15). His Salt (Word/Truth) in us enables our sacrifices of worship (our lives) to be offered in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23-24). He desires Truth (Salt) down to our innermost being (Psalm 51:6); His Word is a vital part of that process in order to keep us from being deceived and having a “light” in us that is truly “darkness” (counterfeit illumination) (Hebrews 4:12-13, Matthew 6:19-24). Interestingly, Jesus tells us that the devil doesn’t have Truth (“Salt”) in him (John 8:44). And thankfully, He also tells us how to recognize when we don’t have the Truth (“Salt”) in us either (I John 1:8; 2:4, see I John 1-3 in the Amplified version for clarity on Greek verb tenses used).

Clearly, none of us want, like Lot’s wife, to be judged for failing to be God’s Pillars and His Salt by turning back from following Him and His Word (Truth); we want to be His Pillars and His Salt by UPHOLDING and PRESERVING His Truth.

“MARCH! MARCH! MARCH! and KEEP MARCHING until the Enemy is COMPLETELY CRUSHED under your feet!”-pt3‏ – HFJ36

by // // No Comments

(part 3) Here is part of that message (I’m emphasizing, highlighting our confirmations!): (for entire devo see link below)

(As always, though I don’t believe it needs to be stated for true Christians, the clarification must be made for those who do not understand Christianity or who are looking for reasons to falsely accuse –  “fighting”, “warfare”, “battle,” and “soldier” terminology does not refer to fighting people, but to our battle against the spiritual forces of evil in the unseen realm spoken of in Ephesians 6 and elsewhere in Scripture.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Keep the Devil Where He Belongs — Under Your Feet

And the God of peace shall bruise {CRUSH} Satan under your feet shortly…. — Romans 16:20

Are you tired of the devil blocking your way and causing all kinds of disruptions and problems in your life, such as problems in your relationships, financial woes, or health problems? How would you like to LIFT your foot high and then slam it down as hard as you can on top of the devil — pounding, hammering, trouncing, CRUSHING, and smattering him to bits under your feet? Does that sound like something you wish you could do?

Believe it or not, the apostle Paul encourages you to do exactly that! In Romans 16:20 he writes, “And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly….” The word “bruise” is taken from the Greek word suntribo, a word that significantly presents this notion OF TRAMPLING THE DEVIL UNDER YOUR FEET. The word was historically used to denote the act of smashing grapes into wine. However, it was also used to refer to the act of snapping, breaking, and CRUSHING bones. In fact, it pictures bones that have been utterly crushed beyond recognition.

… However, notice that Paul says we are to bruise him under our feet “shortly.” This word “shortly” is extremely important because it takes the whole picture to the next level. It tells us what attitude we must demonstrate the next time the devil tries to get in our way or block our path. The word “shortly” comes from a military term that described the way ROMAN SOLDIERS MARCHED IN FORMATION. …

So when Paul uses the word “shortly,” he is referring to the pounding, stomping, CRUSHING STEPS OF A ROMAN SOLDIER. And remember, Roman soldiers wore shoes that were spiked with nails on the bottom (see March 15). When a challenger stood in front of them — or if a person fell in their path — THESE SOLDIERS WOULD SIMPLY IGNORE THE OBSTACLE AND KEEP MARCHING, stomping, and pounding along their way, leaving the challenger or unfortunate person completely obliterated and trampled beyond recognition — an ugly, bloody sight.

What does all this mean for you and me today? It means the next time the devil tries to get in your way or block your path, you shouldn’t stop to politely ask him to move. If the enemy is stupid enough to challenge you and tries to hinder your plans, God tells you what to do in this verse: “Just keep walking! If the devil tries to stop you, just raise your feet high, pound down as hard as you can, and stomp all over him as you MARCH FORWARD. CRUSH and bruise him beyond recognition!”

However, it is important to point out that this smashing and crushing of Satan must be done in cooperation with God. Alone you are no match for this archenemy. That’s the reason Paul says, “…The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet….” In other words, this is a joint partnership between you and God. By yourself, you could never keep Satan subdued. But with God as your Partner, the devil has no chance of ever slipping out from under your heel!

Romans 16:20 suggests this idea:

“The God of peace will smash and completely obliterate Satan under your feet! If Satan tries to get in your way or to block your path, then IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO ACT LIKE A SOLDIER — LIFT your feet high, stomp and pound down hard, CRUSHING the enemy under your feet and leaving him in a heap, trampled beyond recognition, as you MARCH ON….”

The glorious truth is that Jesus already completely destroyed Satan’s power over you through His death and resurrection. The devil was utterly smashed, CRUSHED, and bruised when Jesus was victoriously raised from the dead (see January 31, February 11, February 28). Your God-given mission now is to reinforce the victory already won and to demonstrate just how miserably defeated Satan already is! The enemy may try to lord himself over you; he may attempt to exert his foul influence over your life. However, he is merely using empty threats and ILLUSIONS to feed fear into your mind. Never forget — the only place that rightfully belongs to the devil is the small space of ground right under your feet! Jesus accomplished a total, complete, and perfect work through the Cross of Calvary and His resurrection from the dead. That means your healing, your miracle, or your financial blessing already belongs to you! The victory is already yours!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These confirmations were OVERWHELMING! You may not have noticed that Rick even refers the reader to his March 15 devo – which is the one the Lord gave us on March 8 and 15 (mentioned in part 1 ) as bookends surrounding the whole series of words from that week about being SOLDIERS who need to KEEP MARCHING and not give up (shared in “Onward Christian Soldiers“)! So, if you haven’t already read the March 15 word – “Are You Wearing Your Killer Shoes?” – don’t forget to go read that too!

I hope you noticed the precise confirmation of “ILLUSIONS” in the devo above!  This is the 2nd time God has confirmed that specific word to us in such a precise and dramatic way. I know it’s hard for us to fully wrap our minds around the fact that the invisible/unseen/eternal/spiritual realm is a SUPERIOR REALITY, MORE REAL and MORE TRUE than the visible/seen/temporary/natural reality that we experience daily with our natural senses, but I pray we will all “get” the fullness of this revelation. I pray we will develop our spiritual senses to an even higher degree than our natural senses so that we can walk in the fullness of the implications of this truth and begin to operate in the “impossible”
~ living naturally supernatural lives every single day
~ doing the things that Jesus did and even GREATER things
~ bearing MUCH fruit and showing ourselves to be His disciples.

(I almost recommended in the message on the 21st that everyone watch the first “MATRIX” movie over the weekend to receive [or re-receive] the mind-blowing spiritual applications from it which perfectly illustrate this theme. But due to some language and a lot of violence, it’s hard to make that recommendation… Discretion advised.)

I did not fail to notice that this entire series of words about being SOLDIERS who MUST KEEP MARCHING in spite of attack and opposition has been poured out upon us in the month of MARCH! God is SPEAKING to His army even through the calendar! “MARCH! MARCH! MARCH! and KEEP MARCHING until the enemy is COMPLETELY CRUSHED under your feet!”

We sincerely request your prayers for us that we will rise up to do exactly what God is calling us to do in this regard in the face of the intensified attacks that have assailed us to try and stop us. Please pray for us that by the power of God’s Spirit IN US we WILL KEEP MARCHING FORWARD AND COMPLETELY CRUSH THE ENEMY UNDER OUR FEET and will RECEIVE THE BREAKTHROUGH AND VICTORY GOD HAS ALREADY PROMISED AND PROVIDED! Praying the same for you!!!

Blessings and Prayers!

“MARCH! MARCH! MARCH! and KEEP MARCHING until the Enemy is COMPLETELY CRUSHED under your feet!”-pt2‏ – HFJ35

(part 2)

First, the Lord showed me a Scripture card where I’d written Psalm 72 about Him CRUSHING THE OPPRESSOR:

He will vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy, AND CRUSH THE OPPRESSOR. …For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. Psalm 72:4, 12

As I meditated on this passage and prayed over it, He brought back to mind a passage He had given us on 2/3 (Psalm 68). I had written parts of it down on a Scripture card:

Blessed be the Lord, Who {daily} bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even the God Who is our salvation! Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! God is to us a God of deliverances and salvation {healing, deliverance, protection, etc.}; and to God the Lord belongs escape from death [setting us free]. But God will SHATTER {or CRUSH} THE HEADS OF HIS ENEMIES, the hairy scalp of such a one as goes on still in his trespasses and guilty ways. The Lord said, I will bring back [your enemies] from Bashan; I will bring them back from the depths of the [Red] Sea, THAT YOU MAY CRUSH THEM, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from the foe. (part of Psalm 68)

He reminded me that on 2/15, I “happened” to come across this Scripture card and began to read it and meditate on it again. That same night, Jesse asked me to read something he’d written. When I did, I was SO EXCITED to see further confirmation of this same passage (Jesse had not seen the card I’d written and didn’t know I’d just been meditating on this passage).

He had written about how Psalm 68 was one of the songs that Israel’s musicians used as they were MARCHING INTO BATTLE in order to DECLARE THEIR VICTORY and ANNOUNCE THE ENEMY’S DEFEAT EVEN BEFORE THE BATTLE BEGAN!!!!! (Of course that also goes along with our former themes from the Slaying the Giants series!!) I was so thrilled with God’s continued confirmation of this passage and the powerful prophetic promise He was giving us through it!

As I remembered these words from February and continued meditating on Him CRUSHING THE HEADS OF OUR ENEMIES (in the spiritual realm), CRUSHING OUR OPPRESSORS, and allowing US to CRUSH them through Him as well, He also brought back to mind Romans 16:20.

The God of peace will soon CRUSH Satan UNDER YOUR FEET. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Romans 16:20

A day or two later, Sunday (3/23), I was looking back through my journal and saw another word that God had given us exactly a week earlier (3/16) from Ivan’s book which was also based on Psalm 68! At that point I realized He had been bringing the Psalm 68 theme back up again before I even recognized it. The word from the 16th not only included our themes from Psalm 68 again, but also contained confirmation of what I wrote in the last message about
~ the invisible trumping and transforming the visible
~ and that the enemy’s weapons/works – the symptoms and circumstances that contradict and attempt to exalt themselves above the Truth of God’s Words – are LIES, DECEPTION, SHADOWS, ILLUSIONS, smoke and mirrors in comparison to the Truth of God’s Word. Their report counts for NOTHING, is irrelevant, doesn’t get a vote, and is not to be considered.

Part of it said, “Remind yourself today that the devil is a defeated liar. He has no new tricks, lies, deceptions, lusts, fears, doubts, or accusations. All of those weapons are broken now. … TRUST Me. EXPECT THE AMAZING FROM ME. I WILL LIFT YOU OUT OF THE SHADOW ” (from Ivan Tait’s, Letters from God) (Lifting has also been a recent theme.).

I knew the Lord was continuing to confirm the messages that these attacks of the enemy are LIES/SHADOWS/ILLUSIONS in comparison to the Truth of His Word. Again, we don’t deny that they exist, but we deny them THE RIGHT to exist in our lives because of what Jesus has done for us. And as we stay in agreement with the TRUTH, it will TRUMP and TRANSFORM those lies and illusions of the enemy, overthrowing them and bringing them into obedience to Christ. I also saw that He was tying these previous themes together with the themes from Psalm 68 – stating that He is daily carrying our burdens (and carrying us) and that He (/WE) will CRUSH the head of the enemy and overcome!

Due to some other things written in the word the Lord gave us on the 16th (that He had reminded me of on the 23rd through my journal), I asked Him for further confirmation. (I didn’t tell Jesse any of this.) That same night (3/23) when we went to bed, the Lord gave us the EXACT same word from Ivan’s book! This was undeniable confirmation! Yesterday, I was so elated by this additional confirmation of Psalm 68 that I was considering posting all the words about CRUSHING THE ENEMY UNDER OUR FEET on FB. But I was busy working on the recent prophetic series (trying to finish pt 8 and 9) and never got to it.

So, THIS MORNING, when I saw this message from Rick Renner, I felt as though I could launch out of the house and fly around the neighborhood!!!

“MARCH! MARCH! MARCH! And KEEP MARCHING until the Enemy is COMPLETELY CRUSHED Under Your Feet!” – pt1‏ – HFJ34

by // // No Comments

OH WOW!!!!!! I’m about to launch through the roof at the confirmations God is giving!!!!!

Last week I wanted to send out a confirmation of the “Onward Christian Soldiers” note that the Lord had given the Saturday (March 15) after I sent it (March 13). After taking a step of faith that the enemy immediately threw into question, I had cried out to the Lord that Friday night to ask Him to confirm again whether or not we were truly supposed to have taken that step. The next morning I found an email from Rick Renner in my inbox. It was a devo from Sparkling Gems that asked – “Are You Wearing Your Killer Shoes?” – referring to our Ephesians 6:15 shoes of peace. 

I knew that I knew God was answering my question. He had given me this same devo from Rick’s book last year when I was crying out about the same situation and had confirmed this word immediately in a dramatic way! AND He had also given us this exact same devo exactly a week earlier (March 8) when Jesse was seeking him for direction. Unfortunately, I didn’t even remember that when I sent out the series of other words He surrounded us with that Tuesday (March 11) about being SOLDIERS (against the forces of darkness in the spiritual realm) who need to HOLD OUR GROUND, REFUSE TO GIVE UP, and KEEP MARCHING FORWARD. So all last week I was looking for the right time to send that amazing continued confirmation of the “ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS” theme – but never got to it. So here is the link to that devotional on Rick’s site: “Are You Wearing Your Killer Shoes?

The theme has continued in an AMAZING WAY! When you read the devo at this link, you will see that when God tells us to keep marching forward with what He’s calling us to do, this does not mean that the enemy will roll out the red carpet and cheer us on to success. Our obedience is usually not instantly rewarded by the path we’re called to march suddenly transforming into flowery meadows of ease. Rather, Rick talks about our march being through hostile terrain and the importance of our spiritual armor to enable us to KEEP MARCHING in spite of opposition and attack that would try to take us out.

This has been our experience the past several years, which has been ramped up again to a new level the past few weeks as we responded to God’s instructions to KEEP MARCHING. As briefly mentioned in the last note, we were hit with a brand new attack that we did not see coming that has tried to incapacitate us from being able to continue with what God said. As I cried out to the Lord last week, He repeatedly confirmed that what we were going through was an attack from the enemy to stop us. As I meditated on His Word, one of the themes I saw emerging was about God’s promises to CRUSH THE ENEMY (our enemies in the spiritual realm) under His feet and ours.

The Unseen/Invisible/Eternal has the Power to TRUMP and TRANSFORM the Seen/Visible/Temporary‏ -HFJ33

by // // No Comments

This is a devo I saved in my drafts to remember to send out since it was one of the many confirmations of all the words we were getting simultaneously about God’s Word being Medicine. But I forgot to send it! However, it’s fitting that I found it today because of the confirmation in it of our current confession! So, I’m believing this is not late, but right on time!

Trust the Great Physician
by Gloria Copeland

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them [the Words of God] not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart…. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. – Proverbs 4:20-21, 23

There is a medicine so powerful it can cure every sickness and disease known to man. It has no dangerous side effects. It is safe even in massive doses. And when taken daily according to directions, it can prevent illness altogether and keep you in vibrant health.

Does that sound too good to be true? It’s not. I can testify to you by the Word of God and by my own experience that such a supernatural medicine exists. Even more importantly, it is available to you every moment of every day. … All you have to do is reach for your Bible, open it to Proverbs 4:20-24 and follow the instructions there. …those five verses contain the supernatural prescription to divine health. It’s a powerful prescription that will work for anyone who will put it to work.

…These five verses teach you to keep your attention trained on the Word of God—not on lingering symptoms. Be like Abraham who “considered not his own body” (Romans 4:19). Instead of focusing on your circumstances, focus on what God has said to you.

Develop an inner image of yourself with your healing fully manifest. … Since what you keep before your eyes and in your ears determines what you will believe in your heart and what you will act on, make the Word your No. 1 priority. Keep taking God’s medicine as directed and trust the Great Physician to do His wonderful healing work in you! Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 7:8-15 (© 1999 Kenneth Copeland Ministries)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the part about “considering not your own body” that I first felt the Lord was showing me is a perfect confirmation of our confession this week! “The flesh counts for nothing (it doesn’t get a vote ~ it’s report is irrelevant),” so don’t even consider it! Then she goes on to emphasize not focusing on, or giving attention to, the report of the flesh (the lingering symptoms/circumstances), but to focus and give our attention to the Truth of God’s Word – since “It is God’s Spirit that gives LIFE and those Words He has spoken ARE SPIRIT and LIFE ~ LIFE to our WHOLE BODIES and HEALTH to ALL OUR FLESH (John 6:63 and Proverbs 4:20-21).”

Those symptoms/circumstances which contradict God’s Word/promises are attempting to exalt themselves above the knowledge of TRUTH that by Jesus’ wounds we are healed! (II Corinthians 10:3-5, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17) (This can also be applied to whatever Truth/promise from God your circumstances are trying to exalt themselves above.)

This leads us to another set of confessions from much later in the Healing Confessions book that God also gave us repeatedly in the past week, beginning the very night that a new attack/battle began:

“God’s Word is TRUE and every opposing or contradictory report, symptom, feeling, or pain is A LIE in comparison (Romans 3:4).
(They may be physical fact, but Truth TRUMPS fact. Facts are temporary and subject to change. Truth is eternal. Truth has the power to OVERCOME and CHANGE fact if we choose to stay in agreement with it instead of and in spite of the report of the temporary facts ~ the report of the flesh. We believe and speak in agreement with the Truth of God’s Word instead of in agreement with temporary symptoms, doctors’ reports, etc. We do not deny that sickness exists, but we deny it the right to exist IN US because of our covenant in Christ.)”

“I take authority over whatever contradicts and attempts to exalt itself over God’s Word and promises, and bring it into obedience to the Truth of what Jesus has done for me! (II Corinthians 10:3-5)”

“I hold unswervingly to Jesus’ words; therefore I know the Truth and the knowledge of that Truth sets me free. Where the Spirit of the Lord is (or where the Spirit is LORD), there is Freedom! Jesus has ALREADY set me free from the curse and every work of the enemy; I will not be burdened again by a yoke of slavery! (John 8:31-36, II Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:1)”

I knew that I knew God was emphasizing this to us this week in the face of circumstances that screamed the opposite report of His Word! (He also gave us another word that first night that was a precise confirmation of this theme!) Then He showed me how perfectly these confessions and passages go with our confession for this week!

“It is God’s Spirit that gives me LIFE. The flesh counts for NOTHING (it doesn’t get a vote ~ its report is irrelevant). The WORDS that God has spoken are SPIRIT and they are LIFE. (John 6:63)”

So, praying that we will all keep our eyes fixed on what is UNSEEN and INVISIBLE (this has been a recurring theme for us for more than a month) ~ the ETERNAL, UNCHANGING Truth of God’s Word/promises ~ rather than on what is SEEN and VISIBLE ~ the temporary symptoms or circumstances that are SUBJECT TO CHANGE (which are lies, illusions, shadows, smoke and mirrors, in comparison to the Truth of God’s Word  ~ they “count for nothing, are irrelevant, and don’t get a vote“).

May we remember that as we stay in agreement with the TRUTH it will TRUMP and TRANSFORM the facts ~ overthrowing them, casting them down from their lofty place, and bringing them into obedience to Christ! The Unseen/Invisible is SUPERIOR; it has authority over and creates the Seen/Visible. Our Heavenly Father wants us to imitate Him by calling (speaking/declaring) things that are not (yet in the visible/seen realm) as though they already are (in agreement with His Word/promises ~ because they ARE realities/truth in the spiritual realm)!

Blessings and Prayers! Laura

*********************************

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed (fashioned, formed, created) by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. Hebrews 11:3

 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. II Corinthians 4:18

 

Looking away [from all that will distract] {including contradictory symptoms and circumstances}, we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Pioneer (Author, Leader) and Perfecter [Finisher, bringing it to maturity and completion] of faith. Hebrews 12:2  

 

(And since Jesus is the WORD, this also means we FIX OUR EYES ON THE WORD) –..give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22

 

…God, who quickens the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17 (KJV)
…God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being [by His word] that which does not exist. (NASB) (Lit calls the things which do not exist as existing)

 

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up (exalts itself) against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. II Corinthians 10:3-5

 

Your word, Lord, is eternal;it stands firm (is forever settled) in the heavens. Psalm 119:89

 

Heaven and earth will perish and pass away, but My words will not perish or pass away. Mark 13:31

Confession #7‏ – HFJ32

by // // No Comments

Once again, the Lord started the confirmations before I sent out the message!

Confession #7 from the book is:

“It is God’s Spirit that gives me LIFE. The flesh counts for NOTHING (it doesn’t get a vote ~ its report is irrelevant). The WORDS that God has spoken are SPIRIT and they are LIFE.” (John 6:63)

This is why fasting helps us be able to receive what God is freely giving. When we fast, we crucify and silence our flesh. We literally train ourselves that the report of our flesh counts for nothing ~ so that our flesh does not dictate to and dominate us, but that we dictate to and dominate our flesh. Through silencing our flesh and bringing it into submission in this way, and at the same time pursuing the Lord and filling up with (eating & digesting) Him and His Word, we begin to be strengthened in and dominated by His Spirit.

This revelation alone can save your life!!!

Last Tuesday evening (right after I sent out the wrap up message from confession #6, still planning to send out #7 the next day), I was trying to catch up on more of the past Joyce broadcasts, I skipped over a handful of them and went to a more recent one called “A 30 Day Challenge 1.” (This link used to go to Joyce’s website, but the video has now been removed. Link now goes to youtube.)

In this message, she issues a challenge to the body of Christ to spend 30 minutes a day STUDYING (as opposed to just READING) the Word. It is a great message, in which she quotes the verse our new confession is based on (John 6:63)!!

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. John 6:63 NIV ’84

The next morning (Wednesday), I started to listen to what I thought was part 2 of that message – but it turned out to be the same message repeated, so I listened to the next message “How to STUDY the Bible.” And once again, she emphasized John 6:63!!!

In that message, Joyce also discussed our past theme again, as she further explained that STUDYING (as opposed to just reading), involves EATING and MEDITATING ON the Word (specifically saying the Word is “FOOD” and “MEDICINE” again)!

John 6:63 has also come up since then in some Scripture cards I’ve been going through! Several other confirmations to send of former themes, but will send them in separate messages!

Blessings and Prayers! Laura

Prophetic Message through “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” – part 4

by // // No Comments

Note 7 – Part 4 (continued from same day) (Navigation forward and backward at bottom of screen)

Additional Antichrist symbolism

In one scene, the leader of the decepticons (Megatron) is shown with other decepticons who call him “master” and hail him. Megatron has what would normally be considered a fatal WOUND TO THE HEAD, yet he lives (allusion to Revelation 13).

Megatron enters the “temple” where the Lincoln Monument resides in Washington DC. He destroys Abraham Lincoln’s image and sits down on his seat in the “temple.” This was symbolic of the enemy’s plans to destroy the heart/history/foundation of our nation. It seemed additionally symbolic since Lincoln is associated with ending slavery, and the enemy revealed that his intent was to make the entire human race his slaves. And of course, it seemed symbolic of the antichrist entering God’s temple to set himself up as God (II Thessalonians 2). Abraham, most often translated as “father of a multitude or many nations,” not only speaks of Abraham, the father of the faith of all who believe in and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior (Romans 4), but in a greater sense, it speaks of God, the Father of a multitude or many nations. As revealed in Isaiah 14 (II Thess, Revelation), the enemy’s desire is to displace God from His throne and exalt himself to His place.

“The World Needs You Now”

(Again ~ Division, Apathy, Complacency, Fear, Selfishness, Pride, etc. must be overcome)  

Once again, we see similar themes from the Hobbit notes in this regard.

We see several occasions where old hostilities are set aside and former enemies come together to help each other in various ways.

We also see the recurring theme of the danger of complacency. As the US complies with the enemy’s demands to end their alliance with the autobots and exile them, we hear a powerful confirmation of the devastating consequences that will come from complacency toward these unfolding events. Simmons says to Sam,“Years from now they’re going to ask us: where were you when they took over the planet? We’re gonna say: we stood by and watched.” Of course, they had not completely stood passively by. They had tried to give warnings in spite of being belittled, ridiculed, and dismissed, but their warnings went unheeded by those in leadership/authority.

something more important than fearAgain, there were recurring messages of having to be willing to lay down our lives, overcoming fear, selfishness, complacency (comfort, convenience, etc.) in order to do so. Thankfully, when the true plans of the enemy are revealed, we see others who are no longer willing to be destroyed by standing by and doing nothing while the enemy takes over the world. A number (relatively few) are willing to come together with Sam and risk their lives to stop the enemy’s plans.

In a scene where Simmons, Sam, and Dutch risk their lives to get important information from the Russians, Simmons says – “I’m willing to die for my country; are you?”

In the scene where Carly puts on black to go to Dillan, she leaves Sam because she was not yet committed and not yet willing to pay the price. She was not ready to lay down her life or to watch Sam lay down his in order to save the nation/world from what was coming. She didn’t want to lose Sam and was afraid that’s what would happen. Saying, “I’m not ready for this,” she then asks Sam if he is coming with her. The implication is not only whether he’s “coming with her” to Dillan’s party, but if he’s “coming with her” in her decision NOT TO GET INVOLVED in this situation that’s threatening the nation/world. Sam replies that he can’t (go with her in that decision). He chooses to get involved, no matter the cost. In spite of Carly’s best efforts to “save her life” by not getting involved, she finds herself thrown right into the middle of the danger anyway (on the verge of losing her life). Once she realizes what’s at stake, in the end she does risk her life to do her part to bring about victory.

After Lennox (military special ops commander) tells his crew they will have to jump into the warzone (in Chicago), he says, “I can’t military Dark-Of-The-Moon-Wallpaperpromise anyone a ride home, but if you’re with me, the world needs you now.” After they take the leap of faith and are preparing to engage in battle to take out the enemy’s main pillar we hear, “…for our brothers – let’s make this worth it.” 

There were also additional HERO confirmations (from previous notes – Taking Back Lost Territory – pts 1 and 3). Carly referred to Sam as a HERO several times during the film, even defending him when someone tells him “you’re not a soldier; you’re a messenger; you’ve always been a messenger.” Sam’s pride is initially hurt by this remark, “after all he’s done to help” save the world. But by the end of the movie, he’s embraced more humility. Although he’s once again truly been heroic in his self-sacrificing actions, when Dillan sarcastically asks him if he thinks he’s a hero, he replies, “No. I’m just a messenger.” I LOVED this, since the Lord has been speaking to us about being His HEROES and CHAMPIONS, but at the same time of His principles (which seem backward to the world’s way of thinking) of humbling ourselves, making ourselves of no reputation, and taking on the nature of servants in order to do so. (to be continued in next note)

Trust and Teamwork

Again, as in the Hobbit, we noticed that each one had a part to play and no matter how seemingly small, each one’s part was essential for the victory to be achieved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While we were in the middle of watching this film (we watched it over a few days) and praying for the Lord to speak/confirm what He wanted to say to us through it, Jesse was driving home from work one day and saw a jeep that said, “DECEPTICONS” on the side. You have GOT to be kidding, Lord! His confirmations come from every direction! We believe He is exposing (again through this additional avenue) the very real operation of the “DECEPTICONS” in our midst and their plans that are hidden in darkness to destroy this nation/world and bring the kingdom of darkness (the antichrist Kingdom) to earth. Yet, He is not just revealing these horrible plans of the enemy. He is also continuing to speak about what He’s calling us to be/do in response (more on this to come).

Because of the additional things He showed us, I can’t finish this in one note. So this will have to be continued….

Blessings and Prayers! (see note 8 – part 1 – “Continued Revelation from 3 More films…” here)

Follow up:
Once again we received awesome and precise confirmations at church yesterday morning for things in this note and the next! Our pastor talked about God’s laws which are necessary for our freedom being removed and pushed out of society (confirmation of the message of God’s “Pillars” which are necessary for His Kingdom to be established in the earth). There were a couple of other things he said using precise words God had spoken to us. Though one of those is mentioned briefly here, I share about it in more depth in the next note (so will include the confirmation there).

Note 1 – “As it was in the days of Noah”

Note 7 – Part 3 (continued from same day) (Navigation forward and backward at bottom of screen)

False Peace Leads to Destruction ~ “It’s hostile takeover time”

As mentioned previously, this movie also contains the message of the evil plans of the enemy being hidden in darkness and the importance of recognizing those who are not what they seem.

In one scene, Sentinel (who has secret plans to attack the world) says how peaceful earth seems – unlike the final days of their planet.1Thessalonians5v3,4 This alludes to the false sense of peace the world will feel before sudden destruction comes (I Thessalonians 5:2-3, Matthew 24:36-44) and also to the false agreement of peace the antichrist will make (which is also illustrated in the film).

We eventually learn that Sentinel has been secretly allied with the decepticons. Though he was presumed to be a key to the victory of good, it’s revealed that he is a key to the plans of the enemy. Our nation walked straight into the trap of the enemy by bringing him from where he was hidden in darkness (“the dark of the moon”) and reviving him to his position of leadership. He had made an alliance with the enemy and was working to bring our nation/the world into subjection and to bring the enemy’s “kingdom” here.

Sentinel’s name means, “a person or thing that watches or stands as if watching; a soldier stationed as a guard to challenge all comers and prevent a surprise attack…; Digital Technology” (dictionary.com) (the last of which has interesting implications). Therefore, his betrayal is contrary to everything he represents and was appointed to do. The one who is intended to stand guard and prevent a surprise attack is the one who brings a surprise attack against us. He demands the last 5 pillars (which have been held in US custody) in order to complete his weapon. Once he has the final pillars in place, his weapon of mass destruction is ready. The enemy then informed US leadership that in order for peace to exist they must break their alliance with the autobots and exile them (consequently getting rid of their primary means of protection and defense). Of course, it’s soon revealed that the enemy had no intention of keeping their peace treaty. It was a false agreement. With the help of those from within our own nation who sold out to the enemy and were working with them to overthrow this nation/the world, mass destruction and war began. When it’s revealed that Sam’s girlfriend’s boss (Dillan) is one of those who sold out to the enemy, Dillan says he was always taught that when it’s not your war, you join the side that will win ~ “it’s hostile takeover time.”

devilsalesmanThis analogy has implications on multiple levels. Clearly it alludes to the false peace agreement that the antichrist will make. But it also speaks to other things. Just after we saw this movie, we heard a report that our leaders were considering reducing the size of our military! This seemed confirmation of this very tactic by those who would desire to overthrow us in war. Decreasing our military would cause us to become even more vulnerable to these plans. The push in recent years to strip us of our 2nd amendment rights also ties into this same tactic of demanding us to exile our means of defense. But it would be foolish to fail to recognize that our PRIMARY means of protection from attack, our PRIMARY defense, is our nation’s allegiance to God, the covenant our nation was founded on with Him, and the foundation we were built upon of Christianity/the Pillars of His Word. It is the dismantling and dismissal of THIS SUPERNATURAL MEANS OF PROTECTION which is destroying our most important system of defense (FB post July 18, 12). The demand to break alliance with and exile the otherworldly and SUPERnatural help of the autobots can represent the pressure in our nation to destroy the covenant we were founded on with God and to exile Him and His Word from society. There were 9 autobots, which could also further represent the 9 supernatural manifestations/gifts of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 12) which have also been misunderstood and exiled by many of God’s own people. As in this movie, though these nine supernatural helpers may have appeared to many to have departed (and be done away with), they truly never did (or were). Receiving their presence still with us (through the Holy Spirit with us and in us) and learning to work with them (Him) is vital to our victory against seemingly “impossible” odds.

Spiritual Revelation of “False Peace” which leads to Destruction

The Lord has been speaking to me in the past month through the analogy of the “false peace agreement” which will be made by the antichrist which later leads to destruction. I believe He showed me that what we will see happen in the antichrist’s false peace agreement (which leads to the 7-year tribulation) in the end is a macrocosm of what he’s been trying to do for millennium in the individual lives of all who have walked the face of the earth. Once again the natural will be mirroring the spiritual as the enemy simultaneously attempts to bring the whole world to a place of “false peace” spiritually (through false teaching so deceptive that even the elect could be deceived if possible – Matthew 24, II Thess 2). This agreement/compromise with him spiritually will produce a “false peace,” which has an ultimate design to destroy us. I believe the Lord showed me that this has been the standard M.O. of the enemy in every individual’s life since the beginning. But in the end, he will attempt to pull this off on a world-wide level rather than an individual level.

As mentioned, there were a number of human collaborators who had made alliances with the enemy. Their motivations for doing so were usually explained by portraying that they felt they had no choice. If they refused to comply with the enemy and do what he said they would be killed. I believe the Lord showed that this was also a form of “false peace.” After they bowed to the enemy in order to try to save their lives, complying with him and doing his will, as soon as he got what he wanted from them he killed them anyway. This illustrated tactics the enemy attempts to use in all of our lives. He offers us bargains, compromises, which may seem they will spare us from some undesirable sacrifice (some form of death to self/crucifixion of the flesh) and make things easier for us. His offers seem that they will “save our lives” (reputations, careers, relationships, finances, etc.), but in the end bowing to the enemy and compromising with him in order to take the pressure off (instead of taking up our cross and following Jesus) results in spiritual death. This is the message of Matthew 16:24-25, quoted in note 6.

We also see “false peace” with a different twist through Carly’s story (Sam’s new girlfriend in this film). There is symbolism in how her boss, Dillan, lures her into his trap. Dillan portrays the world’s wealth, influence, fame, extravagance, superficiality, self-absorption, etc. He not only lavishes the wrong kind of attention on Carly, but also the riches and pleasures of this world. One of the most extravagant gifts he gives her, a car (which, as mentioned in the previous note can represent destiny) is also not what it seems. Though this car looksdevil's deception amazing and desirable, it is later revealed to be a “decepticon” that takes her captive and threatens her life (and Sam’s). This speaks of how the things the enemy uses to draw and lure us away from the Lord are deceptions ~ illusions. They may initially take the form of something we desire, or appear to be the “vehicle” or path to get to the destiny we desire, but in the end they will take us captive and destroy us. Again, this is another example of how the enemy attempts to create a “false peace.” Like the “sirens” of Homer’s Odyssey, these deceptions, masquerading as something to be desired, attempt to lure us off the right course to lead us to our demise.

Among the meanings of Dillan are “son of the sea” or “like a lion” ~ which brought to mind both Revelation 13 and I Peter 5:8-9.

Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world. I Peter 5:8-9 

There is also additional symbolism with Carly. The name Carly means “free man,” “little CHAMPION,” or “little and strong.” At one point I noticed that Carly had been wearing the same color in EVERY scene of the movie. Just after I pointed this out to Jesse, wondering why they had chosen to do this, she changed to a different color. At that point I realized they were intentionally making a statement with the color of her clothes. Carly had been in white (representing good/light) in every scene up to the point when she leaves Sam to go be with her (later-to-be-revealed evil) boss Dillan. But in the scene where she leaves Sam and goes to Dillan, she changes from white to black (representing evil/darkness). Later, when Carly realizes Dillan’s “true colors” and repents of her former attitude/actions, she is once again shown wearing white throughout the remainder of the film. Though we might be seeing more prophetic significance in some parts of this film than its makers actually intended (?), this kind of intentionally orchestrated symbolism makes me question what all the writers were actually trying to say.keep-calm-wait-its-a-trap

As I looked back at the Hobbit note, I saw that this section parallels the section from that film discussed under the heading “Deception Lures from the True Path to Imminent Death.”

Note 7 – Part 2 (continued from same day) (Navigation forward and backward at bottom of screen)

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done

The technology Sentinel developed can transport matter through time and space (a space bridge), with the potential to reshape the universe. This technology involved hundreds of pillars that when set up and activated can transport things from one world to another. This spiritually represents PILLARS of either God’s Kingdom or the enemy’s kingdom that we can set up and establish in this earth. When set up and activated, these pillars carry the power to bring things from either God’s Kingdom or satan’s kingdom into this world.

Pillars in Scripture can be positive or negative. Pillars can be a WITNESS (Gen 31:52), a MONUMENT to the Lord (Gen 28; 35 AMP) or to someone else (II Samuel 18:18), a WATCHPOST (Gen 31:49 AMP), the manifest Presence of God – through which He appears, speaks, protects, and guides (Exodus 33:9-10, Numbers 12:5; 14:14, Deuteronomy 31:15, Nehemiah 9:19, Isaiah 99:7), a representation of Israel (Exodus 24:4), a representation of God’s house (Gen 28:22), a symbol of God’s anointed/chosen (as in the case of the prophet Jeremiah – Jeremiah 1:18), a symbol of faithful followers of Christ who overcome (Revelation 3:12), a support structure to uphold His tabernacle and temple (Exodus 40:18, I Kings 7; 10, II Kings 23:3), a support structure to uphold the earth and the heavens (Job 9:6; 26:11, Psalm 75:3, II Samuel 2:8 AMP – from the story of HANNAH – “pillars” here may have both natural and spiritual application), and a support structure to uphold God’s Truth (I Timothy 3:14-15).

But they can also represent “idols” of the enemy’s kingdom (Exodus 34:12-14, Leviticus 26:1, Deuteronomy 7:3-6 AMP, and many others), and the support structure for temples of false/demon gods (Judges 16).

In the film, it’s revealed that the decepticons’ plan is to bring their entire planet to earth. This led to some powerful end-times imagery. When only a few pillars were activated, it opened portals in the heavens to bring other decepticons (representing demon powers) through. But when the enemy activated all his “pillars” all over the earth, they exerted a powerful force which drew the enemy’s “kingdom” to earth. As in a previous note, here again, we see the concept of the “bizarro” world. God’s true plan is for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven, which we will eventually see fully through the reign of Christ. Yet, the bizarro-christ (antichrist) is trying to thwart and usurp God’s plan, attempting to bring about his opposite, inverted, and perverted kingdom on the earth instead.

When we look up the English definition of “pillar” we find:

  1. “a large post that helps to hold up something (such as a roof);…a firm upright support for a superstructure”
  2. “… one standing alone for a monument”
  3. “someone who is an important member of a group; …a supporting, integral, or upstanding member or part ~ a pillar of society” “One who occupies a central or responsible position: a pillar of the state; … a person who is a chief supporter of a state, institution, etc., …a prominent supporter: a pillar of the Church.”
  4. “a fundamental precept a basic fact, idea, or principle of something” (definitions from Merriam-webster.com, thefreedictionary.com)

The spiritual implications are exploding! We first see that these pillars, which cause either God’s Kingdom or satan’s kingdom to come into/be established in the earth, represent either God’s Word (precepts, principles) or the enemy’s principles.pillars of truth

HE SPOKE TO THEM IN (OR THROUGH) THE PILLAR of cloud; (and) they kept His testimonies and the statutes that He gave them. Psalm 99:7 

The word translated “testimonies” is the Hebrew word ‘edah ~ “testimony, witness; always of laws as divine testimonies; something that testifies, testimonies, a precept (of God)”

The word translated “statutes” is the Hebrew word choq ~ “statute, ordinance, limit, something prescribed, due; prescribed task;…action prescribed;…prescribed limit, boundary; …decree; law…;…civil enactments prescribed by God.”  (definitions from Strong’s Lexicon – blueletterbible.com)

pillar-cloud-tabernacleGod came to speak to His people, manifested as a PILLAR! Through this Pillar He made known His Word, principles, precepts, decrees ~ His boundaries for our lives (which enable us to live in His freedom). Just as He spoke through a PILLAR to deliver His testimonies and statutes (His Word) to the people, those words, principles, precepts are PILLARS through which He is still speaking to us today.

Secondly, I believe He showed us that these pillars also represent either His PEOPLE or those who are still part of the enemy’s kingdom (as in definitions 2 and 3 of “pillar” above). When we first saw the concept of pillars being established in order to bring either God or satan’s kingdom to earth, not only did the idea of God’s principles vs. the enemy’s principles come to mind, but also this passage:

Although I hope to come to you before long, I am writing these instructions to you so that, If I am detained, you may know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the PILLAR and stay (the prop and support) of THE TRUTH. I Timothy 3:14-15  

Here we see that THE CHURCH is (meaning Christians are) to be the PILLARS, the SUPPORTS, which UPHOLD THE TRUTH ~ GOD’S WORD. 

The sum of Your word is truth [the total of the full meaning of all Your individual precepts]; and every one of Your righteous decrees endures forever. Psalm 119:160

 

Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. John 17:17 

By being Pillars who uphold His Word as His Truth ~ the Pillars He has given us for society ~ we enable His Kingdom to be built, established, and upheld on earth as it is in Heaven.pillar in God's house

In addition to His Word/principles being Pillars through which He is still speaking to us today, He calls US to be His PILLARS through which He continues to speak (delivering the Pillars of His Word) in order to establish and uphold His Kingdom (where He reigns and His will is done on earth as in Heaven).

Yet, when for whatever reason (distraction, spiritual dullness and insensitivity, complacency, fear, deception, etc.), we fail to be the PILLARS God has called us to be ~ failing to firmly stand and uphold the Truth of His Word ~ and therefore allow the Pillars of His Word to be removed from our lives and society, the way is made for the enemy to establish his pillars (his word, principles, will, ways) which uphold his deceptions and establish his kingdom on earth. We can all observe that the Pillars upholding God’s Truth have been in the process of being torn down and removed by society and that the enemy’s pillars have been in the process of being set up/established all over the earth. Through this, his kingdom is being drawn with an increased speed and force to earth.

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3)
(see also FB post from July 23, 12)

When we connect this message to the message of the blood moons mentioned (in part 1), it seems the Lord is telling His people that by allowing the world to come in between us and Him we’re no longer able to be His faithful witnesses and we’re no longer standing as His PILLARS who uphold His Truth (the Pillars of His Word) in the earth. But! God is also continuing to give us a message of hope in the film… if His Pillars (His people) will stand firmly in our place and be willing to sacrifice all in order to see the Pillars of His Word re-established and the pillars of the enemy’s kingdom torn down. (continued in note 8)
