Sandie Freed: "THE SOUND
OF WAR
--I AM CALLING MY ARMY TO HEAR MY HEART AND THEN GO TO WAR"
 Warfare
Strategy Through Dreams and Visions
Dreams from the Lord are very valuable, and I realize that
if God is talking, then I need to be listening. And, after all, dreams are one of the languages
and sounds of Heaven. Since we are praying that His Kingdom come to earth (meaning we want
Heaven to touch earth), we need to become more aware that there will be a greater release
of dreams and visions.
The night before we entered into Rosh Hashanah and the Hebraic New Year, I had a dream concerning
warfare strategy for the season which lies ahead of us. It is not unusual for the Lord to reveal
strategies through dreams and visions; in fact, Father God saved the life of His only Son,
Jesus Christ, through a dream. King Herod sought to destroy Jesus, but the Father gave Joseph
a dream which included strategy and divine direction to escape to safety.
The Dream of the Army
The Lord is very concerned not only for our safety and destiny, but also that our prayers and
intercession are divinely directed toward the establishment of His Kingdom.
In my recent dream, there were soldiers who were properly aligned and dressed for warfare.
Suddenly, a very intense and bright flash of light appeared like a bolt of lightening and the
brightness instantly illuminated the army. I then heard the words "World War."
I awoke with a Godly burden in several areas. One concern is that we need to press into the
Lord for greater revelation as to how to pray against the devastations of more "natural" wars.
Secondly, it is especially important that we pray for our troops during this season. Another
area of great concern is the protection over the "Army of the Lord!"
Dream Interpretation: We are at War!
I am thankful the Lord gave me an interpretation to this dream because it applies to all of
us who serve in God's Army. God's army includes His spiritual Army, as well as the believers
in the natural army or armed forces. For several years, most of us have had the burden to pray
against natural wars and catastrophes.
In my dream, the bright light that illuminated the army,
is as if the Lord was saying that He was shining His light upon the armed forces, and that
the significance of prayer is of utmost importance. Especially now, we need prophetic insight
and revelation as to how to specifically pray against the tactics of the natural enemy of
our nation.
Spiritually, we are in a season when we must use the Sword of the Lord to do warfare. Going
into battle with His truth, His Word, and His mighty Sword, is the only way to insure victory.
This is NOT a time to be spiritually lazy. Dear ones, we
are at war! This is a season when the prophets will hear the direction of the Lord and the
Body of Christ, especially the leaders, will become aligned with the prophetic word and go
to battle. It is time for unity in the ranks of God's army. We will not forge ahead in victory
unless we walk in unity and covenant with one another.
Deborah and Barak: The Double Anointing for Victory
Deborah was a prophetess who was also a judge in Ephraim. She approached Barak, a leader of
Israel's army, to encourage him to go to battle. This is symbolic of the prophetic word preparing
the way for victory in battle against the spirit of antichrist. Deborah is symbolic of God's
judgment, properly discerning the times and seasons, and releasing Godly judgment through decrees
and declarations. Barak is symbolic of all Godly leaders who heed the directives of the Lord
and move forward into battle, using the Sword (the Word) of the Lord.
Deborah's name means "To speak, an orator, eloquent, and a bee." The Deborah's of today are
gifted prophetically to speak as orators of the Lord. A bee is very busy just as a Deborah
is busy with the Kingdom Business. Everywhere we go, we hear God's "buzz words" concerning
the prophetic words, the apostolic authority, and warring over our inheritance.
Barak's name means "lightening, thunder, and thunderbolt." Remember, in my dream was a great
flash of light touching God's army. Another reference to Barak's name is "glittering sword." I
believe that our leaders in the army of the Lord (as well as the natural army), will have a
sword anointed by God to do battle. As God's sword clashes, there will be a light, a flash,
and a lightening bolt that will be as if God's glory is entering into warfare for us. As the
sword clashes, His glory will be seen!
Prophet Chuck Pierce has alerted us to this season being "The
Clash of the Sword" of the Lord. I believe that Barak's sword (symbolic of the sword of the
Lord), is clashing with the enemy's sword and there is a battle against demonic principalities
as we unify ourselves and pray.
In Biblical history, as the double anointings of Deborah (prophet, judge, authority) and Barak
(leaders in the army, apostolic authority, and unity) came together, Israel was defeated from
the yoke of Jabin, by routing the Canaanites in the plain of Jezreel. Therefore, as we will
use the Sword of the Lord, we will drive the "ites" from our Promised Land! The Scripture states
that God's Sword is sharp, full of living power, and brings exposure and revelation. We can
defeat the different death structures that are affecting us by warring with God's living Word!
Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
I am expecting the Deborah's and the Barak's to arise and go to war! I remember my spiritual
father, Bishop Bill Hamon saying that if we win the war in the spirit, it will affect the wars
in the natural. Precious saints, it's time to rise up and get into the battle!
The Heartbeat of Heaven
Last month while we were ministering in Maryland, a sound came into our midst. I knew immediately
that it was a sound sent from Heaven. It was as if the angelic host surrounded our praise,
and made a sound of war with a drum beat from Heaven. At first, the sound seemed to be in the
distance, yet as time lapsed, it grew closer and closer until the beat became so prominent,
that the entire congregation got into unity with its unique beat. It was a beat I had never
heard before. The ministry's drummer was already playing the drums, but the sound that came
forth was an entirely different beat.
The congregation was already clapping in unity and the tambourines
were also in perfect harmony. When this sound from Heaven came, everyone transitioned at
once and sequenced with the beat from Heaven! It was absolutely awesome as a fresh release
of joy and praise was ministered to each of us. The entire congregation was on the same beat
and it lasted for close to half an hour or more. It was totally supernatural, and I was aware
of God's angelic host equipping us for warfare.
I asked the Lord, "Why have You released this sound?" He
said to me, "This is the sound of My heartbeat. I am calling My army
to hear My heart and then go to war. The only way to go to war is to get in rhythm with Heaven."
In Rhythm with Heaven
The word "rhythm" refers to movement or a patterned recurrence of a beat. Another definition
is a "measured movement." I believe that God has our movements planned and measured. He knows
exactly where we are to go and in which season. Precious ones, this is our season to go
into our Promised Land and possess all that God has promised! If we move forward with His sound
and His directives, we will march to the sound which comes from Heaven. Our steps are ordered
of the Lord, and we have assured victory!
Psalm 37:23, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And
He delights in his way."
Dreams of Seducing Spirits
Recently, I have also dreamed about a seducing spirit which will attempt to seduce us into
doubt and unbelief. There is a spirit that will attempt to convince us that warfare is unnecessary.
But, don't listen to the lies of the devil! The devil belongs under our feet, and if he is
whispering lies into our ears, then he is definitely not underfoot!
The enemy will try to get us to back away from warfare and surrender. Don't surrender! Know
that God has already gone before us and has won the battle. This is the season to have increased
faith, and to know that as we pray, God's Word goes before us and accomplishes His will on
our behalf. He is not a God that He would lie and He is well able to perform His Word (Numbers
23:19).
Watch over your dreams during this season. God is speaking His Heavenly language during dreams
and visions, and is releasing much warfare strategy. Some of the strategy involves different
tactics the enemy has planned against you. Generational strongholds, mindsets, and traditions
of men are being exposed through dreams. Be alert and remain properly positioned before God
to ensure that if He is talking, then you are listening.
Seducing spirits also attempt to lead us astray. Beware! During times of spiritual warfare,
we are vulnerable to the lies of satan. We can easily lose sight of the promise, become discouraged,
and lose hope. We must not be as the Israelites who, while in the desert, lost focus on God's
ability to lead them into their promise. Keep your eyes fixed on your future and set your
face like flint toward your destiny.
Destiny Links
Remaining in covenant with your leaders and Godly authority is necessary during this season.
I refer to these connections as "destiny links." Destiny links are those people with whom we
need to be linked in order for us to fulfill our divine destiny. These connections help us
along the way, lead us into victory, and provide the needed resources during our journey.
God has assigned each of us to a specific division in His army. And, of course, each division
has leaders who lead us into battle. Our destiny links are those with whom God divinely connects
us, and we must remain committed and in covenant with those God has chosen to be a part in
our lives.
However, the enemy hates unity and he will attempt to separate you from your destiny link.
Satan will bring offenses, jealousy, and discontentment into your relationships to get you
off course. Be careful and guard your heart, because the enemy seeks to bring strife and division
into your camp. Being easily offended will cause you to leave your destiny link, throw in the
towel, and stop you from running the race. Guard your heart and your commitment during this
season.
Pray for God's Glory to Touch the Earth
Several years ago, I dreamed that Gabriel came to the earth and released God's glory. In the
dream, there was a supernatural impartation from Heaven in which signs, wonders, and miracles
were released. In the dream, our enemy attempted to get us to doubt our ability to receive
all that God desired to give us.
Dear ones, I believe this is why we are at war. We are warring against powers of darkness which
attempt to stop us from receiving God's glory. If satan can convince us that miracles are not
for today, then we have lost the battle.
Let's get in step with Heaven. Let's move forward with
God's heartbeat and believe for Heaven to touch earth!
Are you ready? Do you hear the rhythm from Heaven? Well, Army of God, Let's MARCH!

Have
you ever felt like God was trying to tell you something?
"One of the
intriguing principles in this book is Murray's focus on how God's hand works in current events.
The stories and news accounts he has included, provoke us to pray for our cities, states,
countries, and governments. I hope this book will help shape you and many other prophets,
leading you into a deeper faith in God. It is our destiny to see the world through eyes that
understand God's symbolic language and actions. It is our job to ask continually, "If this
were a dream, what would it mean?" --Graham Cooke
