Supernatural Protection

Psalms 28:8-9 (NASB) "The LORD is their strength, and He is a saving defense to His anointed. Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; be their shepherd also, and carry them forever."

Before the exodus of the people of Israel from Egypt the Lord brought a series of plagues against Egypt not only because Pharaoh refused to let His people go but also because God intended the plagues to reveal His power not only to the Egyptians but also His own people. Let us take a look at some of the scriptures about the plagues and the supernatural protection of the Lord for His people. The Lord is saying today that the same supernatural protection He provided for Israel is still available to His people today.

Exodus 7:3-5 “But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt. 4 Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces—my people, the Israelites—from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment. 5 When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.”

Exodus 7:17 “So this is what the LORD says: “I will show you that I am the LORD.” Look! I will strike the water of the Nile with this staff in my hand, and the river will turn to blood.”

Exodus 8:22 “But this time I will spare the region of Goshen, where my people live. No flies will be found there. Then you will know that I am the LORD and that I am present even in the heart of your land.”

Exodus 9:4 “But the LORD will again make a distinction between the livestock of the Israelites and that of the Egyptians. Not a single one of Israel’s animals will die!”

Exodus 9:13-17 “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so they can worship me. 14 If you don’t, I will send more plagues on you and your officials and your people. Then you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth. 15 By now I could have lifted my hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the face of the earth. 16 But I have spared you for a purpose—to show you my power and to spread my fame throughout the earth. 17 But you still lord it over my people and refuse to let them go.”

Exodus 9:26 “The only place without hail was the region of Goshen, where the people of Israel lived.”

Exodus 10:23 “During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived.”

Exodus 12:12-13 “On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn son and firstborn male animal in the land of Egypt. I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for I am the LORD! 13 But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.”

I have provided supernatural protection for you. Even as destruction takes place all around you I will be your Defense; a wall of protection around you which shall stand against every storm. In this season I will make a clear distinction between My people and those of My enemies especially those who refuse to acknowledge me as Lord and is continuously disobedient and refuses to yield to My hand of power. I want My people to know that I am still in your land; your God is with you, even in a dry and weary land I will not abandon you. You can be sure that I have heard your groaning and I have seen your tears and I am well aware of your need at all times. I have not abandoned you and I will protect you from all hurt, harm and danger. For have I not said in My Word, though ten thousand fall at your side no harm shall come near you?. And though the earth quakes and shakes I will preserve the lives of My people for many generation. My hand is not short My child; it can reach into the deepest, darkest of tests and circumstances and save, heal and deliver. In this hour I will lift My hand to protect you and you shall prosper where your enemy has spoken desolation and you shall thrive because My supernatural protection is upon you, says the Lord.

My Voice will lead you

Isaiah 30:21 “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

Rest assured My Beloved I have heard you and I am well aware of where you are both physically and spiritually. I say to you today, harken unto My voice because I am leading and guiding you this hour so that you may not drift but that you would stay on the path that I have ordained for you. You will no longer doubt if you have missed the mark because My Spirit of Truth will lead and guide you in the direction that you must take. Open your eyes that you might see and open your ears so that you can hear My voice. Even in the midst of the noise all around you I will lead you out. I am He who knows the way that you should take and I will direct you into a place of safety for I am your Refuge, your Strong Tower and your Hiding Place. My child I want to guide your every move and navigate your every step. I will lead you by My voice which is the same voice of authority that speaks to the wind and the waves of the storm and they must be silent. If you will harken unto My voice you will not miss a step for I will direct you in even the smallest of detail. This is a season of healing, deliverance and restoration and divine strategy is now being given to all who will hear and move in obedience to My voice. My ultimate desire is to free you and to rescue you from your bondage because I have redeemed you and claimed you as My own. I am Your Teacher and I am now teaching you the way you should go, says the Lord.

Take the Camp I have given you the Victory

Judges 7:9-15 (MSG) “That night, GOD told Gideon: "Get up and go down to the camp. I've given it to you. If you have any doubts about going down, go down with Purah your armor bearer; when you hear what they're saying, you'll be bold and confident." He and his armor bearer Purah went down near the place where sentries were posted. Midian and Amalek, all the easterners, were spread out on the plain like a swarm of locusts. And their camels! Past counting, like grains of sand on the seashore! 13 Gideon arrived just in time to hear a man tell his friend a dream. He said, "I had this dream: A loaf of barley bread tumbled into the Midianite camp. It came to the tent and hit it so hard it collapsed. The tent fell!" 14 His friend said, "This has to be the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite! God has turned Midian—the whole camp!—over to him." 15 When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he went to his knees before God in prayer. Then he went back to the Israelite camp and said, "Get up and get going! GOD has just given us the Midianite army!"

Let your hand be strengthened and be encouraged in your resolve for I have already defeated your enemy. Get up and go now. This is not time for you to stagnate, or waver in doubt or unbelief. My people must be a people on the move in this season. I have given even your enemies revelation of their impending defeat and now they that came at you in one direction must flee from you in seven. I have qualified the chosen and I have given them the victory. Although you may think you are small in number and strength I say to you today go down and take the land for the victory is yours. Your time has come I am releasing you to go forward and take the victory. I declare in this day you shall pursue, you shall overtake and you shall surely recover all, says the Lord. Again I say be bold and be confident for I have given you the victory. Take the camp the victory is yours.

Be inspired

1 Thessalonians 1:3 “We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

You must become motivated in your soul and come into agreement with the Spirit of God that resides on the inside of you. The Holy Spirit has been given to inspire you on towards completing the task that I have given you to do. To that end I Am downloading blueprints and strategies to cause your hope to arise. You will be empowered to press forward in the work of My hands with patient endurance, long-suffering and under the anointing. You have come this far; do not turn back now. The work shall go forth as the Kingdom is ever advancing because of the faithful who have been called and have determined to see My glory in the earth.

Pay Attention

Hebrews 2:1 (NIV) “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away."

“Hear, My sons, the instruction of a father, and pay attention in order to gain and to know intelligent discernment, comprehension, and interpretation [of spiritual matters]” (Proverbs 4:1) For many are finding it hard to maneuver in this new place that I have delivered them into. I say to you today you have been given ears that hear and eyes that see because it is a matter of your divine discernment and comprehension of spiritual matters that will propel you forward. Do not be lead into disillusionment and procrastination because of your doubt and unbelief. Now is the time that you must take careful notice, mark well and set your heart to see with your eyes and hear with your ears all that I say to you. “So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.” (Luke 8:18 ). So today I command you to be inspired of My Spirit and activate the gifts and callings that I have given to you without measure. Through spiritual intelligence as the direct result of the experience of the fiery trials you have come into a new place of seeing and hearing. Do not allow your fear to cause you to stop now that you have come this far. Do not now neglect the work of Holy Spirit in your life. You have been changed and new life now cries out to you to live and not die because the glory of your Glorious God has come unto you now.

Brothers and sisters there is a holy, bold confidence that God is pouring out in a new anointing for all to receive. We can be confident that God pays attention and trust in His Word that says, Job 23:10 (AMP) “But He knows the way that I take [He has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I shall come forth as refined gold [pure and luminous].” And again in Proverbs 2:6 (MSG) “And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. “

And because we are now understanding the full measure of being chosen and set apart in the fires of affliction let us boldly declare as the Psalmist did in Psalm 119:71 (NLT) “My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.”

Crescendo

Revelation 11:15 The Message [ The Last Trumpet Sounds ] The seventh Angel trumpeted. A crescendo of voices in Heaven sang out, The kingdom of the world is now the Kingdom of our God and his Messiah! He will rule forever and ever!

The other morning I looked at an arbitrary word and my spirit read it as “crescendo”. When I get a word that I may have heard before but I obviously am not familiar with or do not know the definition of I immediately seek the Lord because this is one of the ways His Spirit speaks to me. The first thing I did was look up the dictionary definition of the word. Although crescendo is used as a direction in music crescendo also means a gradual increase in loudness, intensity, or force; the peak or climax; to grow in force, loudness, intensity and it's often used to refer to the moment when something has reached its peak. 2. To build up to or reach a point of great intensity, force, or volume: intensification: an increase in volume or intensity similar to a crescendo in music; a climax which is indeed the end point or culmination of a process.

My Body has been going through a season of never before experienced change and transition. I say to you today there is a crescendo that is now taking place. There is an increase of intensity that is taking place now. As this is unfolding before your eyes you must realize your need for patient endurance and perseverance. The "pressing in" is now even more essential than that of the past season. I declare to you now that you are a part of the generation to which My call has gone out. You have been gradually awakening to this hour and now I say that you have reached the place of climax and you now understand by an ever-increasing revelation that there is a fullness of My Spirit that I am pouring out to empower you in this new day that is now dawning. There has been an intensification and culmination of an apostolic and prophetic sound. I have given a voice to those who have been tested and refined by the fire as the new Josephs and Daniels of this day. I will release unprecedented favor to these Josephs and Daniels and they will speak and declare the Word to a ever darkening world. They have stood in a culture that has defied Me but this shall not be so any longer. I have given My gifts and callings to you for such a time as this and with great force and intensity you will take back lost ground and territory for the Kingdom. Truly the harvest is ready; for those who have been pruned and prepared this will be your finest hour. You will no longer fear man but you will be lead by your fear of God. I have put My Word in your mouth and it shall go forth as a mighty trumpet; a clarion call to the elect who have been prepared for this season. The trumpet is sounding and the Word has gone forth; this is an hour of harvesting and warring for Kingdom victory. The test was only to prepare you. Yes there will be fear but not as in days past. There is a sound in the spirit that is a demand for the faithful to come to full attention; it is a call to take your place on the wall for it is time to stand with trowel in one hand and sword in the other. The enemy has tried to hinder, delay and stop Kingdom advancement through the spirit of manipulation and fear of man but that season is coming to an end as My righteous ones will not be led by fear but empowered by faith. And I will begin to reward your faithfulness during your seasons of suffering. You have stood in a pagan culture and proudly bear the mark of your God without compromise even as the wrath of your enemy was poured out against you. In Christ you fearlessly proclaimed your right to rule as kings and priests of God Who’s right it is to rule over all His creation. The fires of affliction have produced as cry of many prayers and praises that are now coming into the Throne room of heaven and have resonated in the heart of your God and have caused a release of unprecedented grace and mercy to stand, to trust and to bear up under the weight of many difficulties. You are a living testimony of My Word and Truth made manifest in the earth. You are a light in the darkness that is becoming a beacon to the lost and the dying. The announcement is going forth; the Kingdom of God is being established in the earth. The angels and the saints alike are declaring it now. Even as the darkness culminates so does the light of Christ in the saints, says the Lord.

Isaiah 60:2 KJV “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”

As I continued seeking the Lord for further revelation He led me this scripture: 2 Samuel 3:1 “The war between the house of Saul and the house of David dragged on and on. The longer it went on the stronger David became, with the house of Saul getting weaker.”

Children of God this shall be the order of things in the days ahead. The Kingdom of God and the children of Light and Righteousness shall continue to increase and the kingdom of our adversary will decrease until yes the kingdom of this world have fully become the Kingdom of our God and He reigns eternal. Amen! Hallelujah!

God is speaking to us through His Word; let he who has an ear hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the church! There is much revelation coming forth. Seek the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the Living God as He intends to lead you by His Word and Truth in this day! Amen! Be encouraged; the best is yet to come!

Don’t be afraid just have faith

Mark 5:36 “But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.” (NLT)

Mark 5:36 Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.” (AMP)

Many have been listening to the voice of death and defeat but I say to you today don’t be afraid; just believe.” Many have looked at your life and have rendered their verdict of death but I say to you again, I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life and I speak to that which is dead and it lives. It must live at My command. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24) I will speak life to every dead place, every dead dream and it will live. You must seek Me for wisdom in this season. So I say today consider your ways and consider those who have pushed their way into your life but are not genuine in their agreement because there are among those who have just been tagging along. You must examine your associations and acquaintances because not everyone can handle My supernatural hand at work in your life so guard your heart in this season. Sometimes it is vitally necessary to shut out the noise and the crowd because the crowd cannot receive the extent of my supernatural that I am going to release, their unbelief can become a hindrance to your advancement. Do not listen to the voice of distraction which has tried to tell you that thing which you hope for is dead. And watch and pray against false reports for this is a deciding season and My question to you is; Who are you going to listen to? I declare today that your dream is not dead; your vision may have been delayed but it has not been rendered void. My child I have been working behind the scene and My Word shall not return unto Me void but it shall accomplish that which I sent it forth to do. And I Am calling forth life out of that which also appears to be dead. The release of My anointing upon My people in this day will be like nothing ever seen before because; it is that same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead that now lives and works in you. You shall live and not die and declare My glory, says the Lord.

Matthew 5:21-43 (MSG) A Risk of Faith

21-24After Jesus crossed over by boat, a large crowd met him at the seaside. One of the meeting-place leaders named Jairus came. When he saw Jesus, he fell to his knees, beside himself as he begged, "My dear daughter is at death's door. Come and lay hands on her so she will get well and live." Jesus went with him, the whole crowd tagging along, pushing and jostling him. 25-29A woman who had suffered a condition of hemorrhaging for twelve years—a long succession of physicians had treated her, and treated her badly, taking all her money and leaving her worse off than before—had heard about Jesus. She slipped in from behind and touched his robe. She was thinking to herself, "If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well." The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with. 30At the same moment, Jesus felt energy discharging from him. He turned around to the crowd and asked, "Who touched my robe?" 31His disciples said, "What are you talking about? With this crowd pushing and jostling you, you're asking, 'Who touched me?' Dozens have touched you!" 32-33But he went on asking, looking around to see who had done it. The woman, knowing what had happened, knowing she was the one, stepped up in fear and trembling, knelt before him, and gave him the whole story. 34Jesus said to her, "Daughter, you took a risk of faith, and now you're healed and whole. Live well, live blessed! Be healed of your plague." 35While he was still talking, some people came from the leader's house and told him, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?" 36Jesus overheard what they were talking about and said to the leader, "Don't listen to them; just trust me." 37-40He permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John. They entered the leader's house and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and neighbors bringing in casseroles. Jesus was abrupt: "Why all this busybody grief and gossip? This child isn't dead; she's sleeping." Provoked to sarcasm, they told him he didn't know what he was talking about. 40-43But when he had sent them all out, he took the child's father and mother, along with his companions, and entered the child's room. He clasped the girl's hand and said, "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, get up." At that, she was up and walking around! This girl was twelve years of age. They, of course, were all beside themselves with joy. He gave them strict orders that no one was to know what had taken place in that room. Then he said, "Give her something to eat."

Faith Mode

Let your faith be empowered by the truth of who I Am. Take some time and carefully reflect and recall how I have revealed My character and nature to you in seasons gone by. And do not be afraid for I Am fully aware of the all that is taking place in your life; not one detail escapes Me. I see your enemy’s strategy; he is attempting to block you from drawing from who you know Me to be. His ultimate goal is to cause you to forget My faithfulness to you in the past so that you will become discouraged and not have the faith and trust in Me that will bring you victory in your present and future seasons. The truth is written on your heart so do not allow the enemy to paralyze you with thoughts of fear and words that lack thanksgiving. If you will allow Me, Holy Spirit will cause you to purposefully recall how I have faithfully revealed Myself in your life and you will be empowered to stand and to know that I Am He who is Faithful to you at all times and in all seasons. I will be all that you need Me to be when you need Me to be it. I know that faith requires courage and wisdom and even that I have already provided for you.

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Hebrews 11:23 (NLT)

Destiny is Calling

Philippians 3:12-14 “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

My Beloved child, destiny is calling and you must posture yourself as one who will answer and faithfully press toward the goal. I have used the last season as a time of preparation for that which I have released ion this new place that you are in today. In the days ahead I will fine tune certain areas that will lead to the ultimately fulfillment of My purpose in you. You have come to a new level of maturity and there are certain things that I must perfect in you to cause a harmonious balance in your spirit and soul. There is an alignment taking place that will greatly facilitate the journey of this new season. You will experience new levels of the anointing. The fivefold ministry will be manifested and you will know how and when to teach, to preach, to prophesy, to evangelize and to move in the apostolic anointing. There will also be among you those who will also operate in new places of ministries for I have I not said I have given some to be apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers? In this hour you will see the release of My Spirit in His fullness. As you embrace this release you will gain heavenly perspective, divine insights, life transforming revelation and operate in spiritual focus and clarity as never before. You will be able to see and discern with greater depth and confidence. You will be concise and definitive in areas where you have in former days walked in confusion and doubt. You will no longer function as lukewarm or in a divided and double mind for the mind of Christ will be your mantle. All of this will result in a Kingdom people that is focused and efficiently moving as a perfect Body. Not only must you take the limits off of Me but, you must also be determined to function beyond the normal scope of your own self-imposed limitations. I have released an anointing for pressing; nothing or no one will be able to hold you back unless you make a decision to allow it to do so. Your potential in Me is without limit because it is eternal, so press into the promise now because destiny is calling.
