The Power Of The Name Of Jesus!

How the Word of God can become alive in our lives and impact our families, our church and community.

I have paid a deep personal price for being brave enough to bring this message to you today.

Trust me when I say that the enemy has tried to ‘take me out’ and stop God’s Word and will being outworked in this church and community.

The battles of the last six months have been the most vicious and damaging I have ever encountered.

As I was praying and preparing for these messages, and was pondering on the events of the last six months, God used Rob Holding to give me a book that contained a vision by a man called Rick Joyner.

Let me briefly share this vision with you, in an attempt to clarify this image of the spiritual realm in your minds and hearts.

The hordes of hell are marching

The demonic army was so large that it stretched as far as I could see. It was separated into divisions, with each carrying a different banner. The foremost divisions marched under the banners of Pride, Self-righteousness, Respectability, Selfish Ambition, Unrighteous Judgment, and Jealousy. There were many more of these evil divisions beyond my scope of vision, but those in the vanguard of this terrible horde from hell seemed to be the most powerful. The leader of this army was the Accuser of the Brethren himself

The weapons carried by this horde were also named. The swords were named Intimidation; the spears were named Treachery; and the arrows were named Accusation, Gossip, Slander and Faultfinding. Scouts and smaller companies of demons with such names as Rejection, Bitterness, Impatience, Unforgiveness and Lust were sent in advance of this army to prepare for the main attack.

These smaller companies and scouts were much fewer in number, but they were no less powerful than some of the larger divisions that followed. They were smaller only for strategic reasons

A single demon of Bitterness could sow his poison into multitudes of people, even entire races or cultures. A demon of Lust would hit and “desensitize” great masses of people. All of this was to prepare for the great horde of evil which followed.

This army was marching specifically against the church, but it was attacking everyone that it could. I knew that it was seeking to pre-empt a coming move of God which was destined to sweep masses of people into the church.

The primary strategy of this army was to cause division on every possible level of relationship—churches with each other, congregations with their pastors, husbands and wives, children and parents, and even children with each other.

The scouts were sent to locate the openings in churches, families or individuals that Rejection, Bitterness, Gossip, Lust, etc., could exploit and make larger. Then the following divisions would pour through the openings to completely overcome their victims.

I guess this sounds like some sort of a fairytale.

I guess it would to me also, until I experienced it first hand.

Let me share my first encounter of the spiritual with you, that opened my eyes to the spiritual realm.
