**I share this story that is still in progress as a teaching tool but also for you to partner your faith with us.
On Nov 1st, when the obedience step was first taken to begin Battle Training meetings & notes, I released a prophecy for a specific person at our home meeting. Since then, the warfare against myself and then our family has gone bonkers! The literary story of Elijah fleeing Jezebel’s executioner’s letter of intimidation paled in comparison to the reality of what we’ve been put through. It sheds a new perspective on the emotions and spiritual realm warfare Elijah must have endured that are not recorded in the written story. When your soul is sick from a thousand slices, your body shall NOT be in health when your soul is NOT prospering. The GOOD NEWS is that an angel fed Elijah and strengthened him for the next phase of his journey, instead of the devil winning in his suicide mission.
We’ve noticed the pattern over the years that when I get hit HARD and go down, even if it was only for a few hours this time instead of weeks or months like the past, my family invariably gets hit with infirmity or other curses. This time, bronchitis immediately slipped through the momentary slip of the shields of faith and found a landing pad to sink into.
Bronchitis partners with a spirit of fear that witchcraft rides on. Fear causes the inflammation that swells the breathing tubes to cut off the flow of air, the flow of the Spirit’s rhema that brings life to our spirits. When we start listening to the devil’s chatter, by default we STOP listening to Holy Spirit rhema. Can you see the pattern of WHY bronchitis is the main bug hitting the western hemisphere at large post-election? The kingdom of darkness lost the battle of the election of Trump vs Harris, and the only way he can win is if he can stop the flow of prophetic intel, intercession, and silence the watchman trumpets that give direction to the army as a whole to cause an abortion of destiny.
On Nov 14th, I was notified that person I had prophesied over was pronounced dead. To be honest, it sent me reeling physically to the floor as the devil unleashed yet another wave of intense, targeted volley of mental warfare bombs to doubt, retreat and reject my prophetic anointing in guilt and shame. Jezebellic demonic warfare is not only an annoying thought but at times can manifest physically.
But THIS time being on high alert to not even allow myself to start listening to the chatter, I immediately asked Abba what HIS TRUTH was? He responded that the prophetic word to and then released by Joshua to his soldiers that that the Promised land has been given into their hands wasn’t wrong just because there was an Achan in the camp that caused 36 righteous men to die. The attention was drawn to the fact that the polluted Achan who had hidden his Babylonian mantle (occultism) didn’t die in that battle, while the righteous men did. The warning was not to let the devil pull a 1-2 punch. Just because the devil won a round, don’t let him win the second round by failing to show up for the 2nd battle as despair and hopelessness sink their teeth in. Regroup and go take back the heap of ruins (*meaning of Ai).
Nov 16th, a gentleman called asking for a dream interpretation because the dream was so out of character for his normal symbolic dreams. It was a statement – “[this person], like Lazarus, shall be raised from the dead.” Upon getting up to write his dream down, he was hearing the fragment of a verse that we found to be Hosea 6:2.
Hosea 6:1-3 KJV – Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
This verse was a confirmation of the 1-2 punch warning I heard. Return to the LORD. Yeah, there was a tearing and a smiting but the LORD WILL heal and bind us up. Don’t allow the discipline allowed to expose the sin in the camp to demoralize you, causing you to flee the LORD’s presence. We need to have such a hatred for sin and compromise – not the people but the sin itself – that we won’t tolerate it to be in our midst as we chose the fear of the LORD over the acceptance and approval of people.
As we spoke on the phone, I was reminded of an out of character action the night of Nov 1st. Although I don’t normally record prayer times, I had the unction that night to grab my phone to record that specific prayer that turned into a prophecy and send it to the parents of that individual. That meant I still had a copy of it on my phone.
Listening again to that prophecy, I was describing what I saw in the spirit but was prohibited from saying the words “in a coma”, and instead out flowed “while he’s not communicative and not able to respond, he’s actually getting supernatural downloads and he is getting accelerated in his training, in his spiritual maturity, in the knowledge he needs…”. Everything released in that 8 minute long prophetic word was still applicable despite the current executioners letter of intimidation of a death certificate declaring “He’s a dead man!”, The prophesy declared the devils plans would backfire, and was binding and breaking the power of the spirit of death, calling forth the person to awaken and possess the high places of those that tried to kill him…all of this 2 weeks BEFORE the pronouncement of his death. The doctors declared my own daughter dead over 4 years ago yet she is still very much alive today because we chose to in God’s resurrection power AND the prophetic word I didn’t comprehend weeks before her death!
God always establish everything with 2 or 3 witnesses. First witness was the prophetic word 2 wks prior to the pronouncement of his death. Second witness was a report from a little child that Jesus came to him in a dream or vision sometime before the pronouncement of death and said He would heal [this man]. The 3rd witness was the above gentlman’s dream 2 days after the death that gave some timers and also understanding of WHY this man was allowed to die. Now OUR responsibility to was to align our TONGUES with belief and spiritual warfare with His will and refuse to partner with the plans of the devil with words of doubt and unbelief. For although God has plans and purposes to prosper us and give us a hope, the devil also has plans to kill, steal, and destroy. Apathy and complacency will let the devil win every round.
As we processed our marching orders, my children happened to be watching Superbook and the story of Lazarus began playing. My ears perked up as I heard the cartoon quote John 11:4 that had me looking up in my BIble for the story in context that led to John 11:25, 40-43.
John 11:4b KJV – “…This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.”
John 11:25 KJV – “25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, THOUGH HE WERE DEAD, YET SHALL HE LIVE:”
John 11:40-43 KJV – 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of THE PEOPLE WHICH STAND BY I said it, THAT THEY MAY BELIEVE that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.”
This 4th witness through a not-so-random cartoon gave deeper revelation of the gentleman’s dream that brought solace to our emotions. Just like my own daughter, God didn’t stop her death but instead raised her from the dead 2.5 hrs later, already in her body bag, so that He might be glorified. The devil can kill, steal, and destroy but he can’t give life and life more abundantly like Jesus can! What better way to triumph over Jesus’ enemies than to DISPLAY THE PROOF that He truly possesses the keys of hell and the grave!
The 5th witness came as I was prepping the bath water for my littles and heard to watch Elijah, which showed the Shunamite’s son’s resurrection. The 6th witness came as it was reported to me that the parents showed up to another meeting where the Parashat reading was also on the Shunamite’s son being raised from the dead.
The story of the Shunamite woman gave the strategy for the parents’ heart posture in the situation. Even though she had received the news that her son had died, she refused to partner with grief and death but acted swiftly in a posture of hope. In an act of belief, she pursued the man of God who had the authority to command life to return to her son. When she was asked how things were with her husband and her child, she used her tongue to declare in faith, “It is well” when in the natural realm, it clearly was not…her dead son was laying waiting on the prophets guest bed back home. She kept her tongue in check, even though upon arrival and grabbing Elijah’s feet, he recognized she was in bitter distress. Even Gehazi watched his tongue as he reported back that after he had laid Elijah’s staff upon the boy’s face, “The child has not awakened.” His words showed the expectation they had. Notice he didn’t declare, “He’s still dead.” The mother refused to give up, refusing to leave Elijah’s side provoking him to act in person instead of accepting the defeat of his delegate. It took Elijah’s persistence in prayer but the child finally warmed and then sneezed, a common manifestation of evicting devils, and opened his eyes. (2 Kings 4)
Will we recognize God’s will in this situation and hallow Him as we declare and decree the Kingdom of heaven here on earth to manifest the impossible or will we wallow in unbelief that it’s too late? Today is the 3rd day and as of yet, I have not heard a report either way of the outcome. Lazarus was dead for 4 before his resurrection manifested. The 500 whose tombs shook open and became resurrected witnesses upon Jesus death and resurrection had been dead for years, if not centuries. The prophets have declared resurrection power will mark the coming revival. Are we ready for just what that will entail? It takes the power of agreement with life, and refusing to tolerate Achans in the battle camp much to the contrast of the “All are welcome!” mentality of the seeker friendly church. You can sit with family and strangers alike in a pew or classroom but successfully battle requires fighting with like-minded, united warriors that operate as one man in the Fear of the LORD. Fighting with the wrong crew will cause needless casualties.
