 September
27, 2004: Release the past. The hurts, woundings, failures, and all the rest
have been covered by the blood of Jesus. I have put it all within My eternal
covenant covering with you to always protect and provide for you. Celebrate your
deliverances and healings. Be certain that you have forgiven all from the
deepest regions of your heart. And if you are not absolutely certain that you
have forgiven them, very prayerfully do it yet again. Release them and forgive
the debt they owe you so that you may also walk in total forgiveness. Resist
those voices that are still speaking to you from your past. Don't be as those
who are always bringing up the past and letting that past dictate today. Start
new and fresh right now. Take care of it all while it is still called today.
Release the past.

past." |

 It
is time to stand and pray again. Another hurricane, Jeanne, is heading toward
Florida, which means it may also strike the Bahamas en route. Haiti was
devastated by this same hurricane, suffering the loss of over a thousand people
with many more still missing. Now Jeanne has looped back toward Florida with
increasing intensity. And Ivan, which apparently had broken up, has now
reemerged as a tropical storm causing flooding in Louisiana and Texas.
Meanwhile, off the West African coast, other hurricanes are developing.
Some of these storms are simply natural weather phenomena. Yet, I am convinced
there is a demonic influence as well. As one who formerly was a ruling archangel
before his fall, Satan obviously has power to manipulate weather patterns. Paul
refers to Satan as the "prince of the power of the air" (Eph 2:2). And in his
attack on Job, he caused "a great wind" to come "across the wilderness" and kill
Job's children (Job 1:19). We have biblical evidence that the devil can stir up
a storm or at least direct it and destructively use it against God's people.
Nothing
Happens that God Does Not Redeem and Use
At the same time, for those who are indwelt by Christ, nothing happens that God
does not redeem and use. Thus, all Christians, not only those attending our In
Christ's Image Training school, should consider this season as "test time." The
Holy Spirit is requiring God's sons and daughters to stand in Christ-like
prayer, maturity, and authority for Florida, the surrounding states, and the
Caribbean islands. God is using these challenges to perfect the faith of His
elect.
Remember: At all times and in all conflicts, God's will for the elect is always
conformity to Christ. Even as Satan is serious about destroying people's lives,
so God is serious about creating mature, Christ-like sons and daughters -
individuals who are un-intimidated by life's storms - who stand in worship,
faith, and spiritual authority and overcome them. I believe this maturing of the
church, especially in Florida and the surrounding area, is at the core of what
God is doing in the midst of this particular battle. What we learn during this
time will be essential in overcoming the greater conflicts that are drawing
near.
War On Many Fronts
Hurricanes are not our only tests. The election campaigns in the USA and
elsewhere represent a deep clash of cultures. On the right hand are millions of
American Christians standing against the sins of abortion, immorality, and
homosexuality; in opposition are millions of mostly non-Christians who are
pro-abortion, who defend gay marriage, and who mock Christian morality. Short of
physical violence, culturally, this conflict in America could not be more
intense.
Yet, this is not all we face. There is the looming possibility of a terror
attack in the USA. A recent article states, and I quote:
Senior officials said they "absolutely believe" someone will attempt a terror
attack inside the United States within the next four to six weeks. One official
described this time "as a very, very serious period."
"I have not seen people in our intelligence communities this nervous since
9/11," one official said, referring to the Sept. 11, 2001 (search),
attacks on the United States that killed almost 3,000 people.
Officials said they believe they "disrupted" at least one major plot by some
recent arrests, but fear they may not have "derailed" this plot and possibly two
others.
"We will need some luck and the grace of God to prevent this one," one official
said, explaining that again they have no specifics as to the exact time and
place or clear method. [end quote].

Other reports warn that Islamic terrorists are seeking a level of destruction
that exceeds 9/11. The war in Iraq, whether you believe we should or shouldn't
be there, still must be won. Iraq has become a terrorist magnet. If we lose
Iraq, terrorism will spread out and overtake the world.
The Evil Day
Storms, culture wars, and the threat of terrorism have positioned us with
enemies on our right hand and left. The Bible calls this season "the evil day."
It is time to "take up the full armor of God" and, "having done everything, to
stand firm" (Eph 6:13).
Do not fear: Our weapons are "divinely powerful" (2 Cor 10:3-4). Indeed, the
Almighty has put His living and powerful word in our mouths, the actual "sword
of the [Holy] Spirit" (Eph 6:17). We have been granted the most powerful reality
in the universe: the Spirit-empowered, living word of God.
It is significant that, synchronized with the timing of these battles, is a
forty day season of fasting, prayer and national repentance (http://www.40daysusa.org/home.html).
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Christians are engaged in seeking
God.
Thus, let us pray with confidence and with mountain moving faith. Let us heed
the command of our King who saw these days before there was one of them. Seeing
the darkness of our world, He has a command for His overcoming church:
"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon
you" (see Isaiah 60:1-3).
From
Little Children to Sons
Let me repeat the word the Holy Spirit gave us in January about this year: The
constrictions experienced at the end of this age are not death throes, but birth
pangs; they are not part of what restricts us, but releases us.
We have been spiritual babies too long. It is time for little children to become
sons.
