Persistence Wins
For those of you that have read what I have written in the past, you know that at times I believe that God gives me these short “flash dreams” that are very clear, fast, and memorable. Just before I awoke this morning, God gave me such a dream. At first I saw some rope coiled neatly on the ground it was used rope, slightly discolored, and immediately I knew it was used to bind people up. Once I knew that I saw a man in shackles around his wrists that suspended him slightly from the ground. He was thin and had been shackled a long time. Then I knew it was me, and it was other believers as well. The man was quite thin, shackled by the enemy for some time, but would not give up. I began to pray in the spirit, and the shackles released. The man fell to the ground about a foot or so below. He gathered himself together with everything he could muster, and stood up. I came to understand that the ground was God’s territory, and it was solid ground. I immediately awoke. As I awoke I felt God telling me to never stop fighting back, and that He alone was setting us free to live in His world which He is restoring. He also gave me this scripture as OI began to write.
Psalms 107:8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Today, we can be free if we will not give up, if we will cry out to God; free to live in the land that He has created.
Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High. We ask Father that You will forgive us and raise us up. We ask Father that You send Your deliverance. We praise Your name. We ask that You send Your healing. We praise your name. We ask that You send Your provision. We praise Your Holy name. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
