Conquering the Antichrist Spirit Chapter 3

I'm continuing my personal notes from Sandie Freed's Conquering the Antichrist Spirit. These are just notes, please purchase the book for all the information and prayer strategies.

Chapter 3

If we lose our passion, we lose our vision. Without vision, we perish (Proverbs 29:18)

To ensure we completely cycle out of the wilderness and experience fullness we must focus on developing an intimate relationship with Him to that we can continue to be pleasing to our Bridegroom.

The Antichrist doesn’t want us to develop the fragrance of Christ so he seduces us into building our lives and belief systems upon faulty foundations that result in fleshly fragrance.  Fully entering into the covenant with Christ involves warfare. The devil wants to lure us away from our first love.

North winds are from a winter season. A type of death. Yet in winter the root systems of trees and plants grow deep into the soil of the Earth. Although it looks like nothing is happening, growth is happening beneath the soil. Myrrh is developed during a winter season.

South winds are hot winds. Only in furnace of affliction are we perfected. We need both winds, hot and cold coming together to create hurricanes and tornados. Two forces of opposite winds coming together create such a trauma in the atmosphere that a mighty wind is formed. Wind is the symbolic breath of God. The Bride needs Him to breathe life into her and create a passionate love once again.

The Lord us wants us faint and in love with Him.  We must allow God to perfect us on our journey through the wilderness. When we return to Him:

We will be restored (Job 22:23)

He will bring us into our land of promise and heal our sins (Jeremiah 3:14, 22)

We will be a testimony to the nations of the world (Jeremiah 4:1-2)

He will revoke  His sentence of evil (Joel 2:12-13)

When we return to Him, He will return to us (Zechariah 1:3, Malachi 3:7)

A scroll of rememberance will be written in His presence (Malachi 3:16)

Serving God only out of religious duty than godly passion pleases the Antichrist. Completing destiny requires passion.

When we honor God and fear His name He makes note of it. He burns for us. He is pregnant with our future. Those who fear Him are named on a scroll of remembrance. God is back from the future and pregnant with our destiny. He desires to empower us to fulfill our future.

Prepare to conceive a seed concerning His plan for your life. He desires that we be bathed with myrrh to overthrow the powers of Antichrist from your life and belief system. There is a Promised Land for you.

Feathers and Bombs

A couple years ago I was part of a team that was getting hit hard with "stuff." One person in particular was hit very hard and I had, with others, the burden to intercede. As things worsened, God showed me this vision:

As a group of us here and there prayed, we were tossing feathers the defeated one's way. He, however, was very specific and coordinated and like a "smart bomb", his throws were right on target.

That vision showed me that an united front is needed when it comes to big time prayer. As a writer, even in the smallest sense, I have a team cover me. Behind the scenes, there is a group of us getting together to pray for Kim and the team heading to Romania in less than a month. I don't want to launch feathers for the Lord to Romania. I want these ladies covered in provision, health, travel, connections, itinerary, families back home, opportunities to be intentional, and the miraculous. I want to see targeted smart throws cover them before, after, and during their trip. I want this for every intercessory effort He calls me to.

When you get serious, don't expect the defeated one to jump for joy. If Christ is in you, the defeated one hates you and he hates when you get serious for the Lord. It's not the time to shrink back with a water gun shouting, "stop it satan!" It's time to get the faithfilled AK 47 of intercession out and decree, "In the name of Jesus, you are defeated. You have no business here. So get packing!"

I'll admit, Kim and her team have their struggles as they prepare, and I too am sensing as I agree with them, I'm getting hit with a lot of things that are discouraging at best. I'm afraid on a good day, and in dire pain on a bad.

But I am not holding feathers.
