AN ‘OUT OF EGYPT’ DELIVERANCE REVISITED
“For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build. ” (Job 20:19, BSB)
In 2015 the Spirit revealed that I would get an ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance to get this strategic end-time 7-fold prophetic healing ministry out. It has been the most exhausting journey to this point. Recently I had a dream of coming upon the scattered remains of a black woman in a desolate, desert environment. I put my hands to my mouth with shock and pity to behold the sight. There was a Caucasian couple standing next to me and they were utterly in shock as we beheld the sight. Naturally, when I arose from sleep I was concerned as to the meaning of the dream. As I pondered and sought understanding, I received in my spirit that it represented the journey I had come. It was the end of a pitiable journey and the Spirit reassured me that that was the remains of my old self. That scattered, state of me was now dead, a memory. My feelings in the dream was that of profound sadness at the spiritually isolated, desolate, dry and perishing environment in which I laboured and delivered this prophetic call. It took everything in me. The old self is now dead. I am now in an atmosphere of refreshing, healing and release into the favour of God. It is a new season for me in God’s New Order. As I now come into my new season of strategic prominence, I am empowered to go forward in the spirit of Elijah.
A Releasing Mantle
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence not seen.: (Hebrews 11:1, KJV)
I am fully aware of the critical time we are in and how we are hurtling towards the end of this 7th Sabbatical Year of Release. It has not escaped our Lord that the time for releasing of the fullness of the call is upon me. It is without doubt that I will make it. In the last few months and weeks the aligning to restoration has been amazing. Simple instructions are bringing me into the fullness of my reward as God has promised and purposed for me.
It has been an exceptional journey of faith. Whatever has been released to me has required me to exercise great levels of faith that has caused many to shrink back from me. They do not understand me, or what God has required of me and the unique ways in which He works for me. I laugh because I have history with God. He always comes through for me, if I just obey the simple, unusual instructions of faith. Like Elijah, He brings me to situations to help others. It is a releasing mantle and those who are grateful receive their long desired blessings. It really is amazing because it requires bold and audacious moves of faith that elicits the victory. Right now, I am about to pick up the spoils from the battle as the enemies of God are scattered on the proverbial Accent of Ziz.
Worn Down
“And the LORD gave the people such favour in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians. (36) Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.(Exodus 12:35-36.BSB)
God told Moses to tell His people Israel to ask the Egyptians for their silver, gold and precious artefacts. In obeying the instructions of God’s servant, the children of Israel received great favour as they left the place of slavery and bondage with Egypt’s wealth. In the process of time, God had worn down the Egyptians with plagues and they were only too glad and willing to see the back of these ardent slaves. Under slavery, the Israelites did not deteriorate or lose sight of their favoured position as God’s people. Although they grieved God because of their penchant for idol worship, God however, remembered His covenant promise to Abraham. Therefore, they remained resilient in those times of hardship because the protection and sustaining power of God was with them.
The world will not understand the resilience that comes to God’s people to overcome every obstacle and the challenges thrown at them. We walk in the confidence of the Spirit. Today, I confess victory over the works of evil. God is bringing our world to another level of deliverance, out of the system of Egypt, aligning all things to His New Order. We are coming out of the broken world system. What God has purposed for His end time work is coming to fruition. In this end-season of the Jewish 2022, what the Spirit instructs you to ask for, I say, do it. Boldly tell your captors, those who have done injustice to you that God has instructed that they restore to you. Be bold and audacious and step into the arena for a combative stand-off. Let the enemy know that you are resolute and defiant to withstand his tactics. Let him know that you will not give up what God has said is yours. Today is the time to recover all that God has purposed for you and for the generations following. The enemies of destiny have now been worn down, chased to exhaustion and they will relinquish what the Spirit has authorised them to give up and to restore to you. It is a season of effortless recovery because God has done it. The delay has all been for His glory. The battle is over and all you have to do is to give praises to YHWH Sabaoth, God of the Host of Heaven. (10) Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth. (11) The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Psalms 46:10-11, BSB)
What God will do now will be profoundly miraculous. A supernatural release, reminiscent of Israel’s departure out of Egypt is about to take place. That sombre, fearful night in Egypt would have been a dreadful experience for the children of Israel. That night of slaughter by the Destroying Angel,, despatched from heaven, was watched over by a loving Father. The cries from the households of the dead would have pierced into the long night. That night of escape out of Egypt would linger long in their memory, to serve as a memorial for future generations, telling of the epic deliverance God gave to His people.
The Valley of The Slain
It was a word of prophecy from Jahaziel to King Jehoshaphat that would release the keys of victory for Judea. “Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God. (16) Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel. (17) You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.” (2 Chronicles 20: 15-17, BSB). We will behold the bloody fight that has ensued over our spiritual heritage .Look, by eyes of faith see the devastation of fallen enemies, strewn over metaphorical battlefields of the business landscapes in the nations. An economic meltdown, a global catastrophe is now imminent
The praises were released into the atmosphere as the worshippers of the tribe of Levites went ahead of the King’s army. The people sang praises as they journeyed over to the Wilderness of Tekoa. Immediately as they began praising, God caused the three armies that came against Judea to turn against each other, for fear of betrayal. The slaughter was graet and Judea did not have to fight in the physical but they fought in the spiritual with worship and praise. It was a bloody scene to behold as corpses were scattered on the Ascent of Ziz. For three days they were gathering the spoils from the battle because it was so substantial.
