Wield the Sword in Your MOUTH

Early this morning, my devotions continued through the book of Daniel.
 
Daniel 6:16,20-24 KJV –  16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee… 20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? 21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. 22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. 23 Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. 24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
 
How did Daniel possess this miracle of surviving the lion’s den when they were obviously ravenous, so that we too can survive the strategies of the enemies the devil has unleashed in this hour, having them boomeranging back upon themselves?
 
He BELIEVED the Logos Word of God, which enabled him to face man’s justice system without fear.
Psalm 22:21 KJV – 21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
Ps 34:7 KJV – The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.


David’s faith was so contagious as a lifestyle that the pagan king was the one coming into agreement with it and declaring by faith that “Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.” Would the unbelievers who know you say the same thing about you?


David CONTINUALLY SERVED the LORD with innocency in the visible fear of the LORD, refusing to cower to the fear of man even upon the threat of death. He refused to compromise.


The very pit that the enemy tried to throw Daniel into was the pit they were thrown into themselves.


Ecc 10:8 KJV – 8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.  
 
 
Then later today, someone sent me a screenshot of a newsclip about sword-wielding gangs took to the streets in Brampton, Ontario, Canada last night after the USA election of President Trump.  Tonight as I was preparing to write this blogpost, I saw another headline of gangs taking to the apartments of NYC with Thor-like hammers. Instead of being afraid, I burst out laughing as I saw the devil’s paltry counterfeit effort. The devil knew that God had released the Sword of the LORD out of His Children’s mouths, so now he’s releasing his own swords in backlash like a little toddler tantrum, trying to use emotional manipulation and fear to make its parents who have REAL authority cower to his petulant demands. 
 
Some may be horrified that I’m laughing at such a terror-inducing threat to society but my perspective on this screenshot was shaped by an earlier incident last week where an acquaintance in a neighbouring home church group had gang members break into her house with machetes to go after her son who was a drug-addict.  Those poor slaves to sin had no clue what was coming for them!
 
This wee little woman went after them with nothing more than the word of the LORD and the name of Jesus with authority coming out of her tongue. She had those machete-wielding men AND THE DEMONS IN THEM DRIVING THEIR ACTIONS fleeing for their lives! For those who Fear the LORD evidenced by hearing AND obeying His voice that involves keeping His commandments, the enemy may attack one direction but they will end up fleeing in 7 directions. The true body of Christ is no longer a trembling coward like so many were at the beginning of COVID. All those modern day Hittites being unleashed to try to stir up fear to control the masses will have quite the shock when they realize their bullying, terror-inducing tactics won’t work on those who shifted out of the church system into the Kingdom of Heaven and know God has told them to kick the Hittites out of the Promised Land! The very attack of dread the devil tried last time seasoned many in battle, and forced them to discover God’s power and faithfulness. They proved in the trenches that He CAN be trusted in the face of adversity!  

Those who know their authority as believers in Jesus Christ KNOW that no weapon formed against the righteous shall prosper. They KNOW they have been given ALL authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy, and NOTHING shall by any means harm them. (Isaiah 54:17; Luke 10:19)
 
They couldn’t touch her because she was covered by the blood. However, they DID have access to her house and son because when you bring a cursed object (or in this case, person who had partnered with the spirit of sorcery and pharmakeia through drugs) into your home, your home becomes cursed like it and now a curse has a legal right to land. Be warned! Plumbline to obedience and remove all curses from people through deliverance by the power of the Holy Spirit or evict the people if they refuse to participate, and remove cursed objects from your dwelling.  
 
These kinds of attacks were warned about in the scriptures, as well as many prophets worldwide, to land upon the lukewarm and wicked BUT the righteous shall be saved. Many of those fury passages are unpacked in my playlist “God’s Law, Fury, and Redemptive Hope.” If you find your heart trembling in fear,
1) Turn off the mainstream media and tune in to the Heavenly Father’s VOICE.
2) Watch the playlist to discover then shift into redemptive hope.
3) Sharpen the sword in your mouth by memorizing scripture and drenching yourself in the word of the LORD, for out of the heart the mouth speaks! Memverse.com is one memorization website I enjoy. YouVersion Bible has audio capabilities or the basic YouTube audio Bibles to fill your ears and eyes with His Word. Worship songs that actually sing scripture are another form to fill your atmosphere with praise and the word at the same time.
