Big Leagues And Big Hits Go Together

 

 

During the recent Super Bowl game, the kickoff receiver caught the football deep in the end zone and ran like a deer only to hit a brick wall of opposition at about the 20 yard line. Even the announcer sounded shaken at the sudden impact felt high above the stadium. The receiver held onto the football with a vengeance, and the opposing players' frantic scramble to steal the ball was all in vain.

 

Later in the game, unable to forget this play, I said to the Lord, "Why have I been in a season where I have been taking so many hard hits?" The Lord answered, "Son, I have put you into the big league. Big leagues and big hits go together!" His words were life to me. The enemy almost convinced me, "God has left you and He doesn't care about you." I thought it was God letting me down when He was actually raising me up.

 

I could see where God was now. He was on the sideline as my coach. Coaches are not allowed on the field when the game is going on. That's why He didn't seem near. Could it be when we experience His awesome presence is when we are on the sidelines with Him receiving encouragement and instructions for the next game play? All of a sudden, I felt honored by those hits and assaults from the opposition coming against me. They were now signs and confirmation of my promotion. Many others have been promoted into the big league of God's kingdom and are unaware of it. When the enemy hits you hard or life itself comes against you, hold onto the football with both hands. Hold onto God's word that He has spoken to you. The enemy's job is to strip the football or God's word from you. And when you get knocked down, get up proudly, for you are in the big league and the game is not over.

A Word For Thailand That Will Impact The Nations In 2013 - "I'll Be Home With Bells On!"

 

I sense the Lord saying for this coming year, "I will meet you in dark places so your light can shine." Thailand is number one in child sex trafficking. Perhaps the Lord has chosen the darkest place to bring forth deliverance to children world wide.

Throughout biblical and recorded history, whenever God was about to do something big in a nation to rescue His people, the enemy would target the babies from being born and attack young children from fulfilling their destiny. Somehow the enemy had an inkling that from these young ones 'deliverers' of nations would come. He, the enemy, tried to thwart the delivery of deliverers...BUT GOD!

'With bells on' means: eager, ready to particpate.

The word came like a knife penetrating the belly of hell concerning Thailand. "I'll be home with bells on!" Angels were placing bells into the trembling hands of children tormented by darkness. Bells started ringing, An irrevocable sound bombarding Thailand had come, shaking that nation with the vengeance of the Lord. Midwives, like angels unaware, were being called from the nations and began arriving to deliver these young children full term into their destinies. Bells of freedom were ringing throughout the land. Thailand heard them and her face began to change. Mountains broke forth with singing and the trees of the field clapped their hands as a monumental treasure chest was opened revealing the riches of her inheritance in the earth. Natural as well as spiritual riches, hidden in secret places, were unearthed. Children once in bondage rose from the gutters, singing and dancing on the heels of injustice. These children began invading whole cities. Approaching their city gates, their bold arrow-like proclamations struck the very heart of their enemies. "The gates of hell shall not prevail against us. We are still here and now increasing. Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world!"

 

Thailand's Quiver Is Full And Shaking With Power

 

"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth." Psalm 127:4 "Blessed is the man ( or nation ) whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they ( the children ) contend with their enemies in the gate."

 

2013 - Here Come The Children

 

Their divine inate gifting was reason enough for the devil's attack, but the greater the enemy's assault, the greater the revelation of God's glory. I sensed the Lord saying, "I will use the abused!" 'Here come the cures for certain terminal diseases. Here come world renowned-doctors, great leaders in governments, Davidic musicians and worshipers, songwriters, singers with angelic bands accompanying them. Here come the children!"

 

The bells in Thailand were heard world wide. The enemy's war against children had boomeranged. I sensed the Lord saying, "In 2013, I am unleashing young children with the call and anointing of Daniel, Elijah, Deborah & Esther with their angels into their nations. Unusual anointings will take place also in America especially from kindergarden age to twelve years old from the twenty young seeds that fell into the ground mercilessly in Newtown, Connecticut. A New Town shall emerge with an army of children who will be dispatched to the nations. From Sandy Hook Elementary School, I am putting a 'hook' in the jaw of this nation. And a little child shall lead them." I sense the enemy trembling with questions, "Where are these children so young, yet dangerous, coming from? Have they come to turn the world upside down? And why at this time?"

 

I sense strongly, "The time to favor Thailand has come." The word "THAI" means "FREE", and therefore "Thailand" means "Land of the Free."

 

A song was being born again in the hearts of children world wide. "This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine! I won't let Satan blow it out, I'm gonna let it shine, won't let Satan blow it out, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!"

Contrary Winds Of Adversity Are Blowing Many In The Right Direction

While speaking on childlike faith in Kansas, I noticed an eleven-year-old boy named Brody listening intently as if he were eating the message off everyone's plate.

 

Two weeks later I received this update on Brody.

Brody went bow hunting with his cousin. While walking to their hunting place, Brody was thinking how difficult it would be to actually kill a deer. It was very windy and a boy of Brody's size doesn't have the strength to pull a powerful bow. He told his mother later that while having these thoughts God told him he would get a deer. His mother asked him what God had said and Brody's reply was that God said, " Brody, I'm going to give you one of my animals today". Shortly thereafter, Brody saw a doe 30 yards away (a difficult distance for Brody and his bow). He shot and saw that the arrow would miss its mark, but at the last moment a strong wind hit the arrow and sent it into the animal's heart. A perfect shot. What an awsome God!

When I heard this testimony I couldn't help but think how many of us are experiencing strong winds of adversity that leave us powerless from pursuing our purposes and dreams. But then in the Spirit I saw these same strong winds actually blowing many in the direction God intends them to go. These adverse winds had become friends to many, driving them into their God-appointed destination.

 

"It's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord.
