The Sweet Word of our Savior is a WEAPON against the enemy.

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” As Spirit filled Christians, our words should always heal and not hurt.

Remember that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.

The enemy understands hate and he uses it to his advantage. Hate, chaos, fear, and destruction are the weapons of the enemy. He is the best at using his own carnal weapons.

But we have our own supernatural weapons. They are not the ways of the world, but MIGHTY through God for the pulling down of strongholds! And I hear the Father saying today,

“My Beloved Child. Do not be drawn into enemy territory. Do not attempt to fight the enemy on his level. It is an earthly level and you are a citizen of Heaven.

You no longer walk by the flesh but by the Spirit. I have called you to HIGHER GROUND, My Warrior. You have been RAISED UP and seated beside The Majestic One on high.

It is from this Seat of Victory that you shall overcome. Your words have great impact on the kingdom of darkness. Behold, I have given you authority over ALL the power of the enemy.

The weapons of your warfare are NOT carnal or worldly, but your weapons are MIGHTY through God for the pulling down of strongholds. Walk in LOVE, Dear One. Walk in Peace.

Walk in the SUPERNATURAL REALMS ,and I shall make My Word in your mouth an ARROW of LIGHT, SWEET to the soul and bringing health to the bones.

I have raised you up for such a time as this. The enemy does not know how to deal with those who walk in My Light. Love is a weapon he can never comprehend or overcome. Do not fear.

You overcome by the Blood of The Lamb and the Word of your testimony. The devil comes but to kill, steal, and destroy, but I came to bring you LIFE and LIFE abundantly.

You are a Life Giving, Spirit, My Warrior Bride. Your words shall HEAL and not hurt. Let not your heart be troubled but remain steadfast in My Love.

My Love never fails to hit the mark. Send out My Arrows of Grace and Fire. They have Divine Power to demolish strongholds. Let your lips drip Words of Honey and watch the enemy FLEE!”

Take the high ground : To act morally and ethically, especially in times of disagreement or tension. Military:The most advantageous place to be on the battlefield as an elevated piece of terrain such as a hill or a mountain. A position of great advantage over the enemy.

“The Lord God is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet, And makes me walk on my high places.” Habakkuk 3:19.

“He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And sets me upon my high places.”Psalm 18:33.

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”Proverbs 16:24.

“Your lips, my bride, drip honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue,”Song of Solomon 4:11.

“How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Psalm 119:103.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.

“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.” Ephesians 6:12.

“But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want.”Galatians 5:15-17.

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”Ephesians 2:6.

The Greatest Gift
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.”
1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

On Jan 6th 2021, the day the electoral votes were to be certified in Washington DC, I was sitting drinking tea and the Lord suddenly said, “My people…” and showed me a scene of a varied group of people standing in front of a billboard, as the night crept in around them. The faint last glow of the sunset was on the horizon and every person’s gaze was fixed on the billboard, which seemed to be a giant screen of sorts, displaying different images; charts, graphs and newscasts. Some clutched their hearts and all seemed paralyzed by what they saw, transfixed and extremely distressed by what they were seeing. Yet, in spite of the lateness of the time, they seemed unable to pull their eyes away from the scenes on the billboard.(By the way, the word ‘transfixed’ means ‘to pierce through or impale’; a description vividly depicting the act of crucifixion).

Later the same day, I heard the phrase ‘harrowing time’. Harrowing means ‘extremely disturbing or distressing; grievous’. The verb ‘harrow’ means ‘ to ravage, despoil,’ from Old English ‘hergian’, meaning ‘to ravage, plunder; seize, capture’—an interesting definition, considering the events of Jan 6th in Washington DC. A harrowing time could therefore be a distressing time or it could be referring to it being time for harrowing to take place; when plundering, seizing and capturing is widespread. In the scene described above, it was the people of God’s attention and focus that was being seized and captured—they were being HARROWED! It was as if they were mesmerized by what they saw unfolding on the screen. This is another word for ‘hypnotized! Someone who is hypnotized is under the control of someone else and completely obedient to any prompting or command. They no longer function under their own will or sensibilities. It is very disturbing to see God’s people depicted in this state. Instead of tuning in to what is being said from the throne of Heaven, they are standing waiting to take in the scene that is shown to them next by the person controlling the content of the giant billboard. Even as I type, I hear the word ‘decoy’: ‘anything intended to lead (someone) into a snare’. I have the impression that what is being displayed on the screen is done so with the deliberate intent of mesmerizing God’s people so they are an easy prey.

Harrow as a noun is defined as ‘an agricultural implement with spike-like teeth or upright disks, drawn chiefly over plowed land to level it, break up clods and root up weeds. This is interesting as it is the last action to prepare the soil before the seed is sown and it deals with any remaining hard ground and exposes and uproots weeds. This brings to mind the tares, which are weeds that look like wheat but which provide no nourishing grain during harvest. A harrowing time would be a time when weeds or counterfeit believers are exposed and uprooted so that the seedbed is cleared before the precious grain is set in place in the field. God has seed in His seed pouch, hidden and waiting to be cast by His hand into their appointed endtime positions. But first the harrowing must take place, the field must be cleared, the playing field leveled and the weeds pulled up.

The word harrow appears in the Bible. The Heb. verb sadad occurs in 3 passages (Job 39:10; Isaiah 28:24; Hosea 10:11). In the first 2 it is translated “harrow,” in the last “break the clods.” The Heb. word Harits is translated as the noun ‘harrow’ in 2 Samuel 12:31 ; 1 Chronicles 20:3. This is a tribulum (Latin) or sharp threshing sledge. So here we see that a harrowing time is connected to tribulation.

Now this is where it gets interesting… The words ‘hearse &rehearse’ are rooted in the Oscan word for wolf; hirpus, a large iron-toothed rake; a harrow, and the meaning alluded to the long, sharp, pointed, jagged teeth of wolves. Hearse derives from the Old French herce, from Latin hirpex, ‘rake, harrow’, describing the framework for candles hung over a coffin, and later came to refer to a vehicle for conveying a coffin in a funeral. (Interesting that we have the mention of a hearse, if you cast your mind back tot he deadbolt which is pulled back so that the door can opened for the Antichrist to be revealed. Refer to my previous article ‘Waiting in the wings’). The Roman ‘hirpex’ was actually what we would today call a ‘harrow’, a heavy frame with sharp iron teeth used to break up and even off plowed ground, and was called irpices, from Oscan hirpus, wolf. To Rehearse meant to ‘reharrow, go over again, repeat’. Latin lupata, and lupatus also referred to the sharp pointed wolf’s teeth, and was applied to sundry things furnished with many sharp points and indentations, e.g., a handsaw, and a jagged bit for hard-mouthed horses.

So the sharp pointed teeth of a wolf gave the harrow its name. Could a WOLF in sheep’s clothing be involved in triggering the harrowing time? It is surely no coincidence that the Greek word for wolf means ‘white’. Jesus referred to the Pharisees as whitewashed tombs. They had an outward appearance of holiness, presented themselves as devout followers of God, but their hearts were filled with death. Satan’s messengers also appear as angels of light, wolves in sheep’s clothing. I believe this harrowing time is being not only allowed by God but His hand is actually on the harrow, IN ORDER TO EXPOSE and uproot the weeds among God’s people. Expect to see people you had formerly believed to be followers of the Lord exposed for who they really are. God is making manifest the counsels of men’s hearts. Interestingly, the Hebrew word for wolf means ‘yellow’. When someone is described as yellow, it means they are a coward, a traitor, a turncoat. Are you getting a clearer picture of this ‘harrow’?

The constellation Lupus was not recognized as a wolf until about the 16th century, and from then, the animal was considered a wolf, Fera Lupus, ‘wild wolf’. The Greeks and Ptolomy thought of these stars merely as a generic wild animal, which they called the Therion. In the book of Revelation, a beast is described as emerging from the sea. The word used here is also ‘therion’. So we see that the harrowing time is also a season in which the wolf or therion; THE BEAST, emerges into view from the sea of nations.

All day long, I grieved over what I had been shown concerning God’s people. They are under a spell that needs to be broken so that they can redirect their gaze towards Heaven and the activities of the Kingdom, instead of being transfixed by the activities of the kingdoms of this world. The events of 2020, especially the last 3 months, have captured the minds and hearts of God’s people and rendered them paralyzed in a time when they should be filling their lamps and preparing to endure the night.

Then, on 7th January, the Lord spoke again, “My Remnant…” and He showed me a second scene, which was in stark contrast to the scene I had been shown of God’s people. I will share what I saw in part 2. Until then, repent of any measure you have allowed yourself to become transfixed by the billboard and its scrolling contents– be it financial markets, political news or anything else connected to the business of the kingdoms of this world. Ask the Lord to fully awaken your spirit and deliver you from the snare of the enemy, so that you can be alert and awake to the purposes of Heaven as the night rolls in.

“You are not an “oops”, or the product of someone else’s making, but a special creation,” says The LORD.

“You have a good purpose. I did not plan for you to be idle, unproductive, ignored, bypassed or on stand-by. You have been placed, positioned, and prepared for such a time as this.

“You will not be an observer or a cheer leader, for I have things for YOU TO DO that are important, powerful, productive, and purposeful,” says The LORD.

“Preparations have been ongoing,” says The LORD.

“Things that you have undergone have only tempered you, strengthened you, and caused you to be better and more valuable than before.

“Remember Joseph of old, and his endurance through the difficult times when he was falsely accused and imprisoned.

“He did not understand why he had to suffer these things, but I suddenly turned things around for him.

“You will witness a change as you too will see that the trying of your faith will not be a useless waste of time, but it will become a force that will empower you to produce much more for My Kingdom than you ever thought or imagined.

“Be patient. IT is NOT OVER, but your times will change. The seasons will change, and you will see the purpose that I have ordained for your life, and you will engage in the Work that I have created you for, and your will bear much fruit for My kingdom, by MY SPIRIT and for MY Glory,” says The LORD.

Dream 456 – SparrowCloud9

Psalm 107: 23-24, 28-31 (TPT) “Some of us set sail on ships upon the sea to faraway ports, transporting our goods from ship to shore. We were witnesses of God’s power out in the ocean deep. We saw breathtaking wonders upon the high seas…we cried out, ‘Lord, help us! Rescue us!’ And he did! God stilled the storm, calmed the waves, and he hushed the hurricane winds to only a whisper. We were so relieved, so glad as He guided us safely to harbor in a quiet haven. So lift your hands and give thanks to God for His marvelous kindness and for His miracles of mercy for those He loves!”

A DREAM ABOUT A SINKING SHIP & ANGELS HARKENING TO THE WORD OF THE LORD:

I had a dream some nights ago where a friend of mine and I were on large platform supply ship in the middle of the ocean at night. The ship had been storm-beaten and sustained great damage, that caused causing its systems to fail and power to be lost. The damage, debris and water that blown in by the storm winds and wave were causing it to sink. With no power to try to get to shore or call for help, there seemed to be no apparent chance of being rescued. Obeying the ship captain’s instruction, we stood and continued to stand against all hope in the middle of the ship’s platform worshipping God and declaring and decreeing the Word of God over the ship, ourselves, and over various things that in real life had been weighing heavy on our spirits. Our words were met with the deafening silence and darkness of the night and, for a very long time, it looked as if nothing was happening in response to our release of the Word of the Lord. At some point, I looked up and something caught my eye in the night sky: there were angel armies of God scurrying with excitement in obedience to the Word of the Lord released through our worship and declarations to carry it out! This was a turning point and here we began to notice that as soon as our decrees left our mouth, the things we were declaring the Word of life of the Lord over began to come back to life and into manifestation. Even a dead, broken little plant that lay in a broken flowerpot at my feet began to immediately grow green with life again and bloomed a beautiful resplendent white flower as I spoke life into it. The ship’s lights came on suddenly again as power was supernaturally restored. Under the ship’s lights, we could see now that amongst the debris on the ship’s platform were scattered glowing precious gems that we began collecting. The ship began to move forward and, as it did, the debris and entanglements that were causing it to sink began to be broken and shaken off from the ship. It even seemed as if the damage that had been sustained by the ship was being restored as we began to move forward to our destination again. We were so overcome with joy and we began to cry out, “It was worth it, Oh God! Every single thing was worth it and now makes full sense. Look what God has done for us!” I woke up.I HEAR THE FATHER IS SAYING, “YOU ARE NOT A SINKING SHIP!”As I began to pray into this dream, I began to hear the Father saying there are those that are feeling as if they were that sinking ship in the middle of ocean at night: weighed down by the debris, the pressure and damage of the storms of the enemy that have them feeling as if they were between a rock and a hard place, stuck, powerless, and with no chance of escape or of being rescued. I hear the Father saying to these,“You are not a sinking ship. And you are never too far gone for rescue. My Child, take heart and know that the only things sinking are the capsizing ships of past limiting beliefs and the plans of the enemy toward you. When the enemy and circumstances around you scream ‘It’s too late!’, lean into Me and hold on to the gentle whisper of My Voice declaring firmly, ‘I’ve still got a plan and I’ll still make a way.’ Listen: nothing is too impossible for Me! I’ve still got a plan and I’ll still make a way for you! Nothing catches Me by surprise and My Plans for you are deeper, grander, and more thorough plan than you can perceive, comprehend, or even imagine! Eye has not seen nor ear has heard nor has it entered into the heart of man what I have prepared for those who love Me! So, continue to stand still upon the certainty of My Love, My Promises, My Protection, and the Finished Work of Christ and see the salvation of your Father God. I will do for you what neither you nor others can do. I alone will get the glory for the turns in your story ahead! I will do it because I care deeply and always have. I am breaking you out of every disempowering place of doubt and fear. I am releasing from Heaven an anointing for restoration to bring back life to the deepest depths of My people’s soul. It is time to start walking more fully than you ever have before in the confidence and the blessings and the grace of your Father God! Know that I am working behind the scenes to prepare a way for you and to prepare you for the next leg of your journey through the oceans of My Plans and Purposes for your life. Continue standing on the truth and the promises of My Word and continue to rest in My Love and My Faithfulness. The waves of the beating storm of the enemy may seem unsurpassable, but rejoice that I have already given you victory on every front! I am the Lord of the impossible who defeated death and the grave and with that same power with which I defeated the enemy ensured the victory that is already promised to you. Don’t give up now at the edge of victory. Your breakthrough is coming and it will more than make up for everything you have been through!”CONTINUE TO SPEAK AND PARTNER WITH MY WORD: ANGELS HARKEN AT THE WORD OF THE LORD AS YOU RELEASE IT“I am releasing into you a profound impartation of supernatural faith to continue to partner with My Word and the Truth of the Hope that you have firmly anchored in Me. For, I am doing profound and powerful things through your prayer life this season. So, grab a hold of your faith and continue to speak of those things that are not as though they are and to release the Word of God over every area of your life that is not in alignment with My Will. Continue to prophesy to your life, to your situations, and to everything I laid in your heart to speak life over. Though it may not make sense to the carnal mind, My Word which I send forth never returns to Me void, but always accomplishes that which I sent it forth to accomplish because it is not by might, nor power, nor by human reasoning, but by My Spirit, says the Lord, that My Plans and Purposes come to be! On the surface, it may seem as if little change is happening and things look only l a little different. It may seem sometimes like only little things are happening in response to your prayers and your faithful decrees and declaration. But the truth is that your partnering with Me in Word and action is provoking a great release from Heaven behind the scenes and at the appointed time, you WILL see it come forth. For, angels harken at the Word of the Lord being released by your lips and there are warring angels, ministering angels moving over even now to the sound of My Word to bring deliverance. I have heard your prayers and your fervent declarations and I have sent forth My Angels to minister to you, to your family, to every situation of concern to your heart, whether you have been aware of it or not. And, I am releasing My Power and My Anointing to perfect all that concerns you within and without and I am intervening and doing big things behind the scenes of your life! I am sending help! I am dispatching My angel armies of Heaven very swiftly on your behalf. You will not perish in the sea of impossibility, nor drown in the midst of the storm waves of the enemy at night, says the Lord. Your prayers, your faithful obedience as you have stood upon My Word has not been in vain. I am going to work out testimonies for you that will deal a fatal blow to your capacity for fear, anxiety, and unbelief!”I AM TURNING EVERYTHING INTO STRENGTHENING & PREPARATION FOR GREATNESS“Know, that everything you are going through I will turn into strengthening and preparation. For truly, in My Hand everything the enemy has thrown at you will become a season of preparation for you for the great things and the greatness I have laid ahead for you! Listen: I am preparing you for greatness. So look up and realize all I am releasing to you in this season. Search out and grab a hold of all the blessings I am releasing in the midst of the storm. Grab a hold of the gold, the lessons, the strengthening, the treasures hidden in the darkness of everything you are going through. For, I am turning trials into treasures of learning and strengthening and equipping for greatness I have laid ahead for you. Keep going forward in obedience knowing I will make a way. I will make provision for everything you need along the way. Continue to stay the course faithfully where I have planted you and in the things I have laid in your heart to do, because from here a great harvest of blessings come forth and in due season you WILL reap the fruit of unfailing love!”I AM INFUSING YOU WITH MY POWER AND NUDGING YOU TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH AGAIN“You have been stuck in certain areas of your life for so long that you almost don’t believe that there can be a season of moving forward for you. You have felt behind and stuck between a rock and a hard place, unable to move forward no matter how hard your tried and held back by the memories of all that you’ve thought disqualifies you from all I have from you. Well, I say that time is coming to an end. I am sorting things out for you to help you get into a better place so that the seasons can begin to turn for you again. I am bringing you into a place of forward movement where change will come and your life where things are going to start turning and moving and you are going to begin to see the fruition of a harvest. So begin to step out in faith to do the things I have put in your heart hat you never believed you could do before. You don’t know your own strength, your own capacity, or the depths of what I have placed inside of you. But I am going to begin to show you the strength and the power and authority that is available to you from Me that you haven’t even began tapping into. I am nudging you out of your stuck places so you can start moving forward in faith in the strength and power that is available to you through Me. I am nudging your faith. You are going to start experiencing some things you thought you weren’t really ready for, because this is your season to get unstuck and caught up to the levels I want you to be functioning in. I am helping you catch up and begin walking in the power and the faith and the momentum that you need to be operating in. And, as you move forward in faith, there is a cutting away of the things that have been hindering you that is going to happen, but the knife that cuts those things loose form your life that have held you back—the fear, the powerlessness, the discouragement, the defeat and failure—is going to be your faith as you continue to stand in Me and walk forward as a choice of faith upon My Word, My Promises, and into every pathway My Voice directs you into. Don’t feel as if you have to be perfect or have it all together before you can go forth in obedience. Don’t feel as if you have to have your ducks all in a row before you come with me out of your fishing boat and into the waters of Destiny. For I choose the weak things and the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. And even as I called and used mightily those mired in debt and problems and downturn to return the Kingdom back into David’s hand and out of the hand of Saul, so I call upon you today to take a step forward in faith into My Purposes in trust that as you answer the call of My Voice, I will equip you, provide for you, and take care of all that concerns you. You’ve felt under the thumb of the spiritual warfare of the enemy for long. And today I am calling you out to fight that back as you step out in faith into the things of My Kingdom. And I guarantee you: as you do, you will see restoration, healing, chains falling down and your life will change dramatically as you step out in faith in obedience to Me!”I AM GIVING YOU THE UPPER HAND OF DISCERNMENT TO STAND IN YOUR AUTHORITY AGAINST ALL THE DEVICES OF THE ENEMY AND MOVE FORWARD IN VICTORY“The enemy doesn’t play fair. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy, endeavoring to make you sink under the fear, doubt, and unbelief that he tries to sow into your heart. He tries to put you under the weight of a heavy blanket of confusion and hopelessness in wondering, ‘When is all this going to ever come to an end!’ But take heart in knowing that while the enemy doesn’t play fair, I have come that you may have abundant life! For, I am the God of Justice who has overcome the world and every plot and scheme of the enemy! In the past, your ignorance to the devil’s devices against you kept you bound in powerlessness and discouragement. But, I am giving you the wisdom and discernment, even as you continue to renew your mind with My Word, to know and discern his schemes, to discern the ways in which he has tried to hold you back and keep you bound in powerlessness, fear, discouragement, and defeat, to keep you from moving forward and walking in everything I have for you. I am giving you discernment to know that there are more for you than those who are against you. I am giving you the upper hand of greater discernment of the enemies lies, schemes, and devices against you that you may arise in the authority and the My weapons of warfare I have already vested upon you to fight back and rebuke and come against and tear down every work of the enemy that would keep you bound and in defeat! So go forth My Child, you are breaking through. For I am bringing you break through and overturning the unfavorable verdicts against you. I am overturning the works of the enemy that have kept you stuck, says the Lord and I am overturning the chains that have kept you bound. I am bringing healing and restoration and an infusion of power to your life. I am rearranging things for you and bringing change to empower you to sail forth in faith upon the waves of victory that I have already won for you, not by might, nor power, but by My Spirit!” Says the Lord.
