Yom Ri-shon, Shevat 16, 6001 – January 15, 2017
Our Protector
this morning I had a very interesting series of events related to me by a friend. In prayer, He asked our Father about a certain part of my life. His words to him were a scripture.
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
It indicated to him what he thought was what our Father had said more directly, that there would be a positive resolution. It also indicated a fight. Shortly thereafter he went to bed. As he lay in my bed, not quite asleep, he saw five or six dark shapes that he took to be dark spirits. He said he continued praying as he was when they showed up, and went to sleep finally. In his dream he was on a bus. A bully boarded and wiped his greasy hands on my friends shirt. When my friend protested it set off a series of events where the bully and five friends were to street fight my friend. My friend exhibited somewhat damaged or malfunctioning supernatural powers, but they were enough to keep him from harms way and although the fight persisted, my friend said it was obvious to him that he would win, but probably not to others. My friend told me that this was almost the same dream he had once before, but in that dream he won soundly and his powers were strong. My friend is a believer, and I believe this was a dream from God. Let’s look at the next verses.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
We see that our Father was tipping off my friend about what was happening in his life, and what to do about it. One thing my frind also noted. the Greek word for “word” of God is actually the word rhema, which means utterance. As my friend was falling to sleep, he repeatedly cried oout to the father the same phrase over and over again. This is the nature of our battle, to ask the Father for something and know that if we will stand against what we see that the devil and his hoards are doing, SAYING what is the good things of scriptures, that He will fight on our behalf because He is our armor and He is our Protector. Reviewing the armor tells more, but may you be comforted today to know that we have a Protector.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Protect us and let us be Your lights here in this earth. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal up the hearts and minds of Your people. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold that which has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
