Behold, I set thee a Watchman on the Wall" (Isaiah 62:6)

What's Next for America? - Part 5

Last week my wife and I attended a "School of the Prophets" in Utica, New York. Chuck Pierce and Barbara Wentroble released many prophetic words, prophetic insight, and also taught on the strategies of the enemy for this year and what the church must do to be victorious this year. To begin, let's consider one major word that was released:

Prophetic Word Released through Chuck Pierce and Barbara Wentroble January 18,2002, Mt. Zion Ministries, Utica, New York

"This is a time during February the 18th through March to develop My tabernacle to its next level in this region. I want to communicate to you how in the spring of this year war is going to intensify. This is a time to worship. I am even setting aside this time for My people so they can come close to me and near to me, and they can begin to allow Me to express Myself through them. And I will begin to give detailed strategies of how to overthrow the enemy.

Enemies now have prepared covenant strategies together to retaliate against My covenant. Because they have prepared these retaliations against you, you will have to see these things uncovered. The only way they will be uncovered is by My presence coming in your midst in a new way.

Here in the North begin to rise up, for even Buffalo is an entryway for destruction to this land. So its very important that worship and My presence begin to flood this region so that which would come through Buffalo would be stopped and not be able to enter in. There are even some false covenants that are arising in Albany that will need to be broken in days ahead. These are key times. My tabernacle is being restored, and because My tabernacle is being restored you will have authority over the enemy in day ahead.

And surely even as it was in days of old when in the spring it was the kings who went out to war, in this spring I shall cause My apostles to arise up. And I shall send them into war and into battle. This is a new season, and I shall even release new weapons of war during this time. For even as it is in the natural that there has been new technology and there have been new weapons for this present war, I am doing the same in the realm of the spirit. Do not fear the battle that I shall send you in. For this is a time that I would even release a spirit of fear off this area that would cause you to fear the war. Look at the natural and know that even as I have released new weapons and new technology for war, you have seen that there has been a minimum of casualties.

In this hour I'm going to give you new weapons that you shall battle with, Do not fear the casualties, do not fear the war, for I shall go before you. I shall even be you rear guard. This is an hour that you shall know the favor of God. And you shall even know the protection of the Lord. For did I not say that those that would be hidden in the secret place of the Most High, that a thousand can fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand and it will not touch you. You shall know the power of My blood in this hour. My blood has never lost its power. I shall even hide you in My blood, and you shall know what it is to be hidden in the protection of My blood.

I am a covenant making, covenant keeping God. This is an hour that I shall restore even a revelation of covenant. This is an area that covenant breakers have been able to rise up and have been able to infiltrate this nation. But out of this area I'm going to rise up a people who shall know the covenant of their God. They shall release a covenant keeping mentality and a covenant keeping presence. I am doing a new thing in this hour. This is the hour that I shall overturn that that has come forth and even the covenant breaking spirit that was loosed in this land to cause a people to break covenant with Me. Out of this area I shall release a covenant keeping people and the voice of covenant shall be released from here.

This" is an hour I am overturning. Do not fear the war. You shall be fearless in these days. You shall know the fear of the Lord. I shall deliver you from the fear of the enemy. I shall deliver you from the fear of man. You shall come forth in the fear of the Lord for know that is the beginning of wisdom. I shall even release a spirit of wisdom upon you in this hour. Know it is a time not to shrink back, not to hold back, but it is a time that I shall cause kings to rise up and to go to battle. I send you into battle not for your destruction, but for your deliverance.

The anointing has been pilfered in this area, so I am going to restore My anointing. My anointing is being restored. And even over the last seven years there has been restoration of My anointing, but now My anointing is going to remain and increase in your midst. I am giving you a new pattern, and that pattern will be that you will begin to praise in the morning and worship in the night times. And I will reveal My loving kindness in the morning and My faithfulness at night to you as a people.

This will begin to sweep across this area and this region, and because of that the cells that are set against Me moving throughout this land and this nation will be ferreted out. This is a key time, for you have cells in your midst. You have four cells [Terrorist Cells??? - added by editor] that are in the midst of this region that would work against My covenant. They will be found out, and they will be overturned because My anointing in the courts of my temple is about to grow strong. Even now it is beginning to grow strong. There is a supernatural linking of my anointing that is going to occur throughout this region. It will flow from Buffalo into Albany and then you will even affect this nation."

Clearly the church is to engage in intense spiritual warfare this year, not for our destruction, but for our deliverance. The key to victory will be tied into praise in the morning and worship in the night times for it is in praise and worship that the Lord will reveal His loving kindness in the morning and His faithfulness at night to us a people. The Tabernacle is a reference to the Tabernacle of David where there was continuous praise and worship going on 24 hours a day. We must recognize that the Lord inhabits the praises of His people and that engaging in praise and warfare is engaging in spiritual warfare. Furthermore, as we draw close to the Lord in praise, He will begin to give detailed strategies of how to overthrow the enemy.

In this word, we also see that God wants us to know the power of His blood. If you would ask a Christian how to do battle with the enemy, most would incorrectly quote James 4:7: "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you". However, they neglected the prerequisite for this promise to operate: "Submit to God" and then you will be able to resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submission to God means keeping His commands and this means not remaining in a state of unconfessed sin. You see Satan is like a roaring lion constantly seeking whom he may devour. In the natural, the lion seeks out the weak animals whom he is able to paralyze with fear through his mighty roar. Likewise, our adversary the devil is seeking Christians to devour. He is not looking for complete Christian reprobates; all he wants is for us to rebel in just one area of our life. This will give him just enough room to gain a foothold in our life.

When Jesus told his disciples in John 14:30 that "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me." He was saying here comes the devil and he cannot gain a foothold in My life because I am in total obedience to the Father. James also addresses the enemies attempt to gain a foot hold (limited demonic influence) in our lives when he tells us in Eph 4:26-27: "In you are angry do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry and do not give the devil a foothold."

The key to understanding how Satan operates against the church is found in the word "rebellion." Rebellion means going against the rule and authority of God's word -- in simple terms -- sin. Satan planted thoughts of rebellion in Adam and Eve. Satan was successful in planting thoughts of rebellion into His chosen people (Psalm 78:8, Deut 1:26). This is how Satan operates against us as well. If he can't blatantly tempt us, he'll use subtle seduction by flooding our mind with thoughts of the trials we are going through, how people hurt you, etc. This can cause us to despair, lose hope and faith, cause anger to rise, unforgiveness to rise (giving the devil a foothold to torment us [Matthew 18:23-35] and ultimately causing the Lord to not forgive our sins [Mark 11:25-26]). In short, Satan will attempt to make us his slave (Romans 6:16). And if you think the enemy cannot attack our minds, read Matthew 16:22-23 and also consider the purpose of the helmet of salvation found in Ephesians 6.

If we are in submission to God, then we can successfully resist him and he will flee from us -- but if we want to overcome him, we need three things:

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Revelation 12:11).

To overcome the devil, we need use the Blood of the Lamb (not neglecting the other two requirements). In the word by Chuck Pierce and Barbara Wentroble, God tells us that in the days we are entering in that we need the protection of the Lord and that protection is in the Blood:

"And you shall even know the protection of the Lord. For did I not say that those that would be hidden in the secret place of the Most High, that a thousand can fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand and it will not touch you. You shall know the power of My blood in this hour. My blood has never lost its power. I shall even hide you in My blood, and you shall know what it is to be hidden in the protection of My blood." I am a covenant making, covenant keeping God. This is an hour that I shall restore even a revelation of covenant. This is an area that covenant breakers have been able to rise up and have been able to infiltrate this nation. But out of this area I'm going to rise up a people who shall know the covenant of their God. They shall release a covenant keeping mentality and a covenant keeping presence. I am doing a new thing in this hour. This is the hour that I shall overturn that that has come forth and even the covenant breaking spirit that was loosed in this land to cause a people to break covenant with Me. Out of this area I shall release a covenant keeping people and the voice of covenant shall be released from here.

It was a blood covenant that God made with Abraham. The efficacy of the covenant did not depend on man. Likewise, in the blood covenant that God made with all mankind, when He cut a covenant on the cross of Calvary (as Jesus was offered up as the spotless lamb of God), is available to all (without exception) for the remission of sins for all who would come to the foot of the cross and embrace Jesus as both Lord and Savior. Our God is a covenant keeping God.

However, there are many false covenants in the land such as abortion (the offering of the spilt blood of the innocents as a demonic sacrifice [http://prophecyandcurrentevents.com/thglory/whyblac2.htm[)

which must be broken in the days ahead so this nation, under God, shall not perish.

The prophecy spoke of the "Blood" as a defensive weapon to be used in spiritual warfare. Let's discuss how the "blood" can be effectively applied before continuing with what's next for America

The Blood of the Lamb

REV 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

What does it mean to "plead" the blood of Jesus? How is it used in spiritual warfare?

The Blood of Jesus is "precious blood"

1PE 1:18-19 - "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect."

The blood of Jesus is precious beyond description, but we can get a feeling for its value by going to the Old Testament.

1 Kings 8:5 - "Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

The blood that was spilled, according to this account, could not be determined. However, Josephus, a Jewish, historian, tells us that between 10 to a maximum of 20 people could be atoned for by the blood of one lamb.

At the time of the Exodus, this would translate into (based on an average of 15 people per lamb) to about 160,000 lambs. At he dedication of Solomon's temple it was estimated that there were about 5 to 6 million people. Based on this calculation about 400,000 innocent, perfect lambs died.

Josephus also recorded that on the Day of Atonement, the Brook Kindron flowed for days with the blood of the sacrificial animals reminding the Israelites that when Messiah died that He would opened a fountain that would flow forever and ever (Zech 13:1)

And yet, in Isa 1:11 we find that God does not delight in the blood of animals: "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats.

The sacrificial system was designed to prepare the people to receive the Messiah who, through the shedding of His own precious blood, made atonement for all mankind.

The Life is in the Blood

LEV 17:11 "For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life."

REV 13:8 "And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

Atonement means covering. We saw in the Genesis account that innocent animals had to die to make a covering for Adam and Eve. God knew they would sin and break covenant with Him. He already had a plan to reconcile man back to God and that was through the innocent, spotless, Lamb of God, Jesus Christ the Messiah, who was slain from the foundation of the world. God already had the remedy before Adam and Eve sinned.

In the Cain and Abel account we learn several things:

  1. A blood sacrifice is the only acceptable sacrifice to God
  2. Able's blood cried out to God from the Ground.

Somehow, when God breathed life in to Adam, that life was resident in the blood.

Therefore, when we introduce the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, into a situation we are introducing the Life of God. Since there is only Light in Jesus and no darkness, and since there is only life and no death, the application of the Blood of the Lamb in healing situations or any situation where we are under demonic attack will bring victory. As we will discuss a little later in this lesson, Satan cannot penetrate the bloodline of Jesus.

Included the Sprinkling the Blood

On the Day of Atonement, the priest would sprinkle the sacrificial blood on the Book and on the people. Later at Calvary, our High Priest Jesus (the Word of God) was sprinkled with His own precious blood.

The High Priest would also sprinkle the sacrificial blood on the Mercy seat which covered the Ark of the Covenant. As a result of God's acceptance of this sacrifice, God would manifest His Shekinah glory and speak to the High Priest from between the two cherubim.

The glory of God was seen and the voice of God was heard only when the blood was sprinkled on the Mercy Seat. In fact, if the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies without the blood, He would be struck dead. It was not enough for the High Priest to have faith in the blood for the atoning of the sins of Israel for the last year; He had to use it.

Approach the Throne of God; but only by the blood of the lamb.

HEB 10:20-22 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

The passage in Hebrews is referring to the curtain (4 feet thick) that separated the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place. The writer is telling us that we can now go through that curtain because of Jesus, but we are to draw near with faith, with our hearts sprinkled (a reference to the blood of the lamb) and our bodies washed with pure water - a reference to the Word of God.

We enter His gates with thanksgiving and His halls with Praise, but we only enter the Holy of Holies through the precious Blood of the Lamb - Jesus.

 

1 John 5:8 tells us that these three bear witness: the Spirit, the Water (of the Word) and the Blood (of Jesus). There is power in the name of Jesus, only because He shed His own blood and offered it to the Father who there upon gave Jesus His authority (Matt 28:18) who there upon gave it to His disciples (Luke 10:19)

EPH 5:25b -26 - "…..Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with

water through the word."

1PE 1:1-2 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

Notice that Paul addresses the "elect" as those chosen for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood.

REV 1:6 "And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father - to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen."

We are New Testament Priests to God

We must therefore engage in the ministry of the "Sprinkling of the Blood."

 

As priests we also must use the Blood of Jesus in Ministry.

Heb 12:24 - Ye are come unto Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

"Ye are come" in modern english means "we are come." It is present tense and does not refer to the past.

Therefore, it is our privilege as New Testament priests of the church of the First Born, to sprinkle the Blood of Jesus in obedience and in faith, not merely to passively believe. Remember true faith is faith in Action (See James).

Rev 12:9 tells us how to be overcomers.

Overcomers of who or what?

REV 12:9-11 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

They overcame by:

  1. The Word (of their testimony)
  2. The Blood of the Lamb
  3. They did not love their lives so much as to fear death.

All three are requirements to overcoming Satan, the author of sickness and disease, in our lives. We need to learn how to sprinkle the Blood of Jesus.

Remember 1 Peter 1-2 tells us that we are "elect….unto obedience and the sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus Christ. And this sprinkling must be in an active sense since Faith in the Blood is Faith in Action.

In the Old Testament realm, the priests offered physical sacrifices of animals The flesh was burned, but the blood was drained into basins and was USED by being Sprinkled.

The priest took a bunch of hyssop and dipped it into the blood and then sprinkled it upon the lintels and Door posts of the houses of the Israelites.

As New Testament Priests we must offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God (1 Peter 2:5) (Only the Blood of the Lamb is acceptable) by Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:5 - "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."

 

How to Apply (Sprinkle) the Blood of Jesus

In the spiritual realm, we take the Blood by Faith and then we speak it (which is a form of Intercessory prayer).

Therefore Spiritual Sacrifices are the New Testament counterpart of the Old Testament physical sacrifices. As New Testament believer-priests, we are to take the living blood of Jesus Christ and "sprinkle it" with the words of our mouth by pleading the Blood of Jesus out loud.

 

Sprinkle it (plead) it on yourself, and on your loved ones each morning when you pray. Also plead it whenever you sense Satan's attack or are involved in administering healing or deliverance.

Sprinkling was not just for the Old Testament. Exodus 12:23-24 tells us to observe this thing (the sprinkling of the blood) forever.

EXO 12:23-24 "For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two door posts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. "And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.

GAL 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

We are Kings and Priests. We can enter into God's presence at any time with our petitions, but only with the Blood of the Lamb.

We must have faith when we plead (actively use) the Blood of Jesus.

ROM 3:23-26 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished"

 

Faith is not Faith until it is out into action

Love is only a word until it is demonstrated

Ammunition in an arsenal is useless until it is used

The Army of the Lord is powerless until it uses its weapons of warfare. (2 Cor 10:4)

And the Blood of the Lamb is only a word until it is actively applied.

 

When we plead the Blood of Jesus on ourselves and on our loved ones, no demon can penetrate the blood of Jesus…but it is not there automatically just as salvation is not automatic -- we have to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Healing for the body is not automatic. All of the promises of God are not automatic…we must meet the conditions. These are all obtained through active faith and obedience in meeting the conditions.

 

Satan cannot penetrate the Blood of Jesus Christ

Exodus 12:7, 12-13, 22-23

Exodus 12:7 'And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

Exodus 12:12 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

Exodus 12:13 'Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12:22-23 "And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. "For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.

The Destoyer is the King of the Bottomless Pit. See Rev 9:11 Abaddon - in the Hebrew or Apollyon in Greek . This is Satan.

The destroyer cannot get through the blood of Jesus Christ unless through disobedience we let it down.

If the Israelites had come out of their homes which were covered by the blood during the Passover, they would have died because of disobedience.

 

"In this hour I'm going to give you new weapons that you shall battle with, Do not fear the casualties, do not fear the war, for I shall go before you. I shall even be you rear guard. This is an hour that you shall know the favor of God. And you shall even know the protection of the Lord. For did I not say that those that would be hidden in the secret place of the Most High, that a thousand can fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand and it will not touch you. You shall know the power of My blood in this hour. My blood has never lost its power. I shall even hide you in My blood, and you shall know what it is to be hidden in the protection of My blood.

The blood of the Lamb is both defensive and offensive that you now how to wield in the days ahead. As we enter into warfare against the enemy do not forget to apply the blood to the lintel and doorposts of your life and to sprinkle it with the sacrifice of your lips against the enemy.

At the conference, there was an unveiling of specific prophetic insight for the year 2002. This will be covered next time.

 

"I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty." (Hag 2.7)

"Watch and pray, therefore, that you would be counted worthy to escape the judgment that is coming upon the earth and be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36).
