Are The Stars Pulling Out All The Stops For End Time Warfare?

Recently on March 11, 2012, when turning our clocks forward, losing an hour in order to gain more daylight time, my watch suddenly stopped. I sensed it was too unlikely for it to stop at this specific time. Was it prophetic? I was reminded of the day when Joshua was in the heat of battle and time was running out for Israel to overcome their enemy. They needed more daylight to overcome the darkness coming against them. Joshua spoke to the sun ( a big star ) to stand still and it obeyed and the moon stayed and didn't move for a whole day." Joshua 10:12,13. This gave Israel the edge to win. The next morning during worship at a church meeting I sensed the Lord saying, "In the Spirit, the Sun is standing still again for many who are seemingly losing in their battle so they can be avenged of their enemy.The heavens over you are now coming into alignment to execute justice for many in the earth."

What does the Bible mean in Judges 5:20 where it says,"They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought for Israel," God's people? Can the stars do warfare? And in Job 38:7: The morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. Do stars really sing? And if they do, what are they singing about? What is so special about the stars to God that He tells the number of the stars and calls each one by their names? (Psalm 147:4) Why in the heavens is each star so significant to the Lord? Could they be playing a significant rule in what is going on down here on the earth?

"God's Word is forever settled in the heavens." ( Psalm 119:89 ). We are in a time where the very heavens are declaring the glory of God more than ever! Fresh revelation from heaven on high is now being released in these last days. Unusual events are taking place like never before in our solar system.

Could it be that all of creation at this time, including the constellations of the stars, are holding nothing back from worshiping their Creator? It's no wonder that if you look up on a starry night that the awe overwhelms you. The stars truly are emitting something so profound and yet so simple. Even as each star produces its own light through nuclear fusion, they were also created to shine forth the glorious light of the Gospel. Scientists have just discovered that the huge star (the sun) in the center of our solar system produces its own music. The Telegraph U.K. reports that Astronomers at the University of Sheffield have managed to record for the first time the eerie musical harmonies produced by the magnetic field in the outer atmosphere of the sun which vibrate like strings on a musical instrument.

Imagine every star as a musician and the heavens as a symphony orchestra. I wonder who the conductor could be? "For the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so we are without excuse." Romans 1:20

The Stars Remind Lucifer How Far He Has Fallen

Isaiah 14:12-13: "How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground which did weaken the nations! For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God." Satan well knew to whom the stars belonged. The stars to this day remind Lucifer of how far he has fallen. Could it be that he heard the morning stars singing (Job 38:7), worshipping their Creator, as he fell down through them? Is it any wonder that he hates those constellations of stars that he could never rise above to be like God? Lucifer went from being the chief worship leader in heaven to no longer being in the choir.

In these end times even the zodiac is being exposed for what it really represents as in, Eternal Destinies as Revealed in The Stars, by Barbara Hunt, "The stars are not telling anyone their fortune or future. They are telling us about the one and only Person who can . . their Creator and ours, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, 'the bright and morning star'" (Revelation 22:16).

Need Encouragement? Read The Bible Again Like It's The Very First Time Psalm 119:18

Psalm 119:18 "Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law."

Recently I prayed, "Lord, let me read the Bible like it's the very first time. Open my eyes to behold wondrous things out of Thy law." It works. I am seeing things I never saw, and it is going into my spirit. It's like I am being born again all over again!

If The Enemy Is Telling You That You Don't Need To Read The Bible As Much As You Used To...You Need to Read it More!

Have you ever thought, "I have read the Bible so many times that I have a pretty good handle on what it is saying. Therefore I don't need to read it as much"? Have you ever said to yourself, "I have read that certain Scripture so many times that I am sure I know what that verse means. Besides, I have heard others share that they got the same meaning from it"?

Recently, I sensed the Lord saying to me, "There is a dangerous mindset in many of My people when it comes to receiving fresh revelation from My Word. The longer they walk with Me in My Word, there is a tendency for them to think that they know it all! Many have forgotten that My Word is a living Word, full of ongoing revelation and eternal insights."

What a Wonderful, Humbling Experience to Come to God Like a Child Every Day!

I believe "how" we pick up our Bibles to read them determines "how" we receive what is in it. If we come pridefully boasting in what we think we already know of His Word, we will surely fail in the full revelation of it. When was the last time God's Word became personally alive to you? Was it when you were broken before Him and you felt like you didn't know anything? Or was it when you thought you had some good ideas to share with God about how He could run the universe better? I believe it is still our subtle "know it all" attitude that keeps hindering us from the ongoing revelation of the One who knows everything! Perhaps "Unless you become as little children you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven" would be fitting for reading God's Word, also.

Your Bible is Always Begging You to Open It

I used to minister in prisons for twenty-three years. One prisoner in a cell was handed a Bible and he took it and threw it under his bed as he cursed it. Years later, he testified that there were nights he could not sleep. He couldn't get that Bible out of his mind. One night he got up and reached under his bed to get it. As he picked up that Bible, he said he had an irresistible urge to open it and start reading it. He could not put it down. The presence of a Bible in his cell overcame the powers of darkness in his life and set him free as well as others in that prison!

I have heard several testimonies of sick people who had all kinds of prayer, but nothing changed. One woman testified after becoming so desperate, "Every night as I lay down in bed I would take my Bible and lay it on my chest." She said it wasn't long until her sickness was gone! It made me wonder, If a closed Bible can do that, what can an open Bible do?

I believe we are right now in a kairos moment to receive fresh manna hot out of the oven of Heaven. Yesterday's manna has gone stale for us. I want to encourage you to imagine for a moment that you have never read anything in the Bible. Now open it and begin reading it, for the very first time.

Pray this simple prayer first: "Open my eyes to behold wondrous things out of Thy law" (Psalm 119:18).

A Season Of Miracle Comebacks

Could several sports events with players such as Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow recently having miraculous comebacks, mentioning the Lord in their victories, be prophetic? I believe the greatest miracle moments in all of sports history are just beginning to be recorded as a sign of the spiritual season the Body of Christ is now in.

A while back I called up Dick's Sporting Goods to ask a question about a certain sports equipment. The lady who answered the phone put me on hold while she asked someone else about more information. When she put me on hold, there was a CD playing in the background of the 'Greatest Moments in Sports History." Play after play I listened with amazement as these teams and individuals who were losing big time, with no hope of winning, all of a sudden were being named heroes and the world was calling these unbelievable, winning comeback plays a miracle!

As I kept listening, I felt the anointing of God coming down over me through this CD as if God wanted us to know something. I got so caught up listening to these miracle comeback plays, I called Dick's Sporting Goods back up the next day asking, "Could you put me on hold? I don't want to talk to anybody. I want to listen to the Greatest Moments in Sports History"! I ordered the two CDs and kept listening to them over and over again. I have brained washed my mind with miracle comebacks.

I got to thinking. Are there certain ingredients in these miracle comebacks in sports events, past and present, that we in the Body of Christ need to be aware of? Looking back, what was it that created the greatest miracle moments in my own life? Those moments that I now live to tell others about.

Unusual Ingredients For A Miracle

The powerful ingredient that I discovered in these miracle comebacks in sports events and in my own life was...THEY WERE LOSING! Could what appears to us as seemingly losing in an area of our life possibly be an ingredient or key for a miracle? I believe it is. I am learning when it appears I am losing and it looks like it's impossible for me to win, God is setting the stage for something greater. Isn't it the stories in the Bible of the people who looked like they would never make it, that builds our faith the most? The Lord seems to write their heroic events beginning with them knowing the agony of defeat, with no hope of ever fulfilling their God given dream.

There's another key ingredient for a miracle comeback I have heard sports announcers talk about when a team is losing. They often notice and announce to the world about certain key players "they are being patient and calm under pressure"! We need to remember that it is through Faith and Patience that we inherit our promises and overcome great opposition.

Many Key Players Are Usually Overlooked And Rejected For A Season Before Coming Into
Their Glory!

Being overlooked and rejected are ingredients God seems to stage in our lives to humble us and prepare us for His timing of revealing His glory in us. He knows when it's our time for exaltation, for then whatever we do, we do all for His glory. Perhaps rejection is the most important ingredient He works in us way before we are brought to the lime light and become a champion. That heavenly gift of rejection humbles us to handle the fame when He exalts us and we seem to become unstoppable. But then the final exam question is, will we still glorify Him when a losing streak occurs? Perhaps the greatest moment in Tebow's sports career recorded in heaven could be the way he handled his loses after his season of success. He still glorified the Lord, for though he was in the game, the game wasn't in him, but Christ in him the hope of glory.

We are not finished hearing from these Godly sport champions regardless of their times of loses, for they know their losses are temporary compared to eternity. And their losses become practice sessions for yet another miracle comeback.
