STRATEGIC OFFENSIVE
Name me an overcomer who has not overcome something... I didn't
think you could. That is the nature of being an overcomer, it
is characterized by OVERCOMING! All of us want to be overcomers,
few of us want something to overcome.
We are in a season of increased spiritual attack, it seems that
the enemy is "...coming in like a flood..." (Is.59:19). We must
understand that satan is not God's enemy, he is OUR enemy...
he is a pawn in the hand of the Almighty Sovereign God and can
do only what God allows or what man, through the forfeited spiritual
authority of harboring iniquity, allows. God is now allowing
a season of increased attack, and it is intended to ultimately
bring forth the purposes of God. Normally when many of us come
under attack, we turn tail and run or do everything we can to
cause the attack to cease. We go into a DEFENSIVE mode and never
enter into the ultimate purpose of God that is found in the MIDST
of an attack.
Here are a couple of examples of what I call 'defensive intelligence'
or God's purpose being concealed and only found in the midst
of an attack:
1. So much in life hinges on issues of spiritual authority as
our lifestyles, our mentalities, and our declaration (our words)
are establishing the spiritual atmosphere. In other words, the
kingdom that is established within us (whether that is darkness
or Light) greatly effects the kingdom around us. God's desire
is that we be living stones (1Pet.2:5) that grow into a Mountain
(Christ) that eventually fills the whole earth (Dan.2:35)...
the Kingdom that is established 'within' us establishing the
kingdom around us... Light growing brighter and dispelling the
darkness. Many of us are blind however, to the weaknesses or
areas where we are actually deterring the advancement of the
Kingdom by either our lifestyle, our mentalities or our words.
Now then, is an enemy going to attack you in an area where you
are fortified and strong?... NOT! The enemy is going to attack
you where you are WEAK... thus, that weak point you were blind
to is now exposed. This is what I refer to as 'defensive intelligence'.
This is the point at which many people fail because they focus
on their weakness and 'retreat' in one way or another. This is
NOT the time to pull back and retreat, it is the time to go on
the OFFENSIVE (I didn't say to BE offensive!). We must understand
that not only is God exposing a blind spot, but that is also
the 'kairos' time to press into victory.
It is the principle of the 'man of sin' being revealed that Christ
within us might slay him with the prophetic proclamation of the
finished work of the Cross. When we are under attack and our
weakness is exposed is the time to move forward in an OFFENSIVE,
because just as God supplied the grace to expose our weakness
(we rarely think of it as grace!), He also supplies the grace
for our victory over that weakness. This grace can only be accessed
in the midst of attack and in the midst of our offensive maneuver...
and the best place to wage this offensive is on our knees! Rather
than just trying to control the damage of a spiritual attack
or perhaps reclaim what the enemy is trying to steal, this is
the time to step forward on his turf and command the advancement
of the Kingdom.
For example, if your finances come under attack, don't just beg
God for enough money to pay the bills, move forward in an offensive
and command this natural realm to release abundant resources
for advancing the Kingdom (assuming your lifestyle is not one
of material idolatry, that you'll just squander it on selfish
desires). If, as with many men, your morals come under attack
through temptation, don't just beg God to forgive some lustful
thoughts... go on the offensive and command a total release of
any hold that lust may try to have on you; then go another step
and remove any provision you may have for fulfilling lust. I
think you get the basic idea...
2. The Word declares to us that He has "...blessed us with all
spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ..."(Eph.1:3);
so the blessing or increase that manifests in the natural begins
in the spiritual realm. Ever notice how the enemy will seek to
steal or delay your increase? My friend, it is at that point
of attack that we must step forward in an offensive and command
the release of that which God has destined for us. Often our
blessing or increase is disguised as a 'land full of giants'...
and all too often we end up seeing ourselves as grasshoppers
and missing our God-ordained increase. We must begin to look
at spiritual attacks as OPPORTUNITIES to launch a strategic offensive.
If you find yourself under constant attack, it may very well
be the grace of God providing many opportunities to advance the
Kingdom. Remember, according to Eph. 6 there is no armor on our
back side, we are equipped to move forward!
After I had been meditating and writing on this subject, I saw
a colonial war movie and I was stirred by a particular scene.
The colonists were faltering in the heat of battle and some were
starting to retreat as their enemy was beginning to get the upper
hand. Suddenly their leader took their flag and rode on horseback
through the battle waving the flag and shouting, "Hold the line
and ADVANCE!"... well, you can figure the rest of the story.
It was a major turning point, and victory was wrought. I'm reminded
of Is.59:19 as it says. "When the enemy shall come in like a
flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard (flag
or banner) against him...". This is what God desires, that we
raise the banner of the Lion of Judah in the midst of battle
and see the Kingdom forcefully advanced... the kingdom of the
heavenlies, the spiritual atmosphere suffers violence, and the
violent take it by force!
All of us want to be more than conquerors in Christ... few of
us want something to conquer... God will graciously provide both.
Let us move FORWARD, releasing the power that is only found in
the midst of battle.
THE BRIDE IS AT A CROSSROADS
My Bride, you are at a crossroads. The decisions you make will have great
consequences in the days, months, and years ahead. I place before you life
and death, blessing and cursing, mercy and judgment - now you must
choose.
Do not be swayed by the opinions of others or take counsel from the
ungodly. Do not take counsel at the stocks. Get your orders from above. I am
raising up an army who will stand on the side of righteousness.
My desire is to pour Myself out to you, My Bride, but you must be in a
position to receive. I am looking for those who have humble hearts. I am
looking for people who will be on their knees before Me. My desire is to
pour
myself out to a unified Bride and not a harem, for the Bride and the
Bridegroom cannot walk together unless they are in agreement.
I have called you, My Bride, to walk by faith and not by feelings and
emotions, for they will be deceptive to her. Do not believe all that you
hear in
the days and months ahead, but test the spirits to see where they are coming
from.
My Bride, I am asking for your eyes. Give me your eyes. Do not look to the
left, to the right, or behind you. I am asking for your ears. Give Me your
ears.
Do not be swayed by the opinions of man. Follow the cloud, and not the
crowd. In the days ahead there will be many voices trying to lead you into
off
the mark. I have called you to hearken to the Good Shepherd, and not the
voice of a stranger. Do not be swayed by what "looks good". Do not give your
eyes to that which is unholy. Set your affections on the things that are
above,
not on things that are below. Do not forsake your birthright for a morsel of
meat.
I have called My Bride to walk the narrow path, for wide is the way of
destruction. I am looking for a Bride with tunnel vision, looking ahead and
up,
not to the left, right or behind.
Come to the Throne, My Bride. I desire to make a great exchange with you:
beauty for ashes, blessing for cursing, the Garment of Praise for the
Spirit of
heaviness. If you will give Me all of you, I will give you all that I have
for you.
I ask you to be a people of faith. You have not, because you ask not. Bring
before Me, your desires, your hopes, and dreams, and I will purify them.
Bring
Me your hearts, and I will put them through the threshing floor.
My Bride, the veil has been rent. You can either be on one side or the
other.
My desire is to pull you through. My desire is for you to go all the way
into the
Holy of Holies.
Arise, My Bride, and come up where you belong. Do not stay where you are.
Launch out into the deep. You must make the choice.
There are people waiting for you to make the choice. There are people whose
destinies depend upon the choices that you will make. There are souls at
stake. The Groaning Creation awaits your decision.
There is a war to be won. I am not seeking for a Bride to fight with. I am
seeking a Bride to fight along side of. Do not grow weary. The battle is
mine,
but the victory is yours. Those of you who see it through will get the
reward.
You must choose: the thrill of victory, or the agony of defeat.
You, My children, were born for this hour. There is a divine plan that I
have,
and everyone has a part to play. I am calling you to take your place on the
Wall. You are about to receive your marching orders.
The Cross is at the crossroads, My Bride. I am asking you to lay your
desires
at the foot of the Cross. Give Me your stoney hear and I will give you
hearts of
flesh. Give me your hopes and dreams, and I will show you the dream that I
have for you. Come to the altar.
My Bride, you know My voice. Though there will be voices that seek to
imitate My voice, but I ask My Bride to recognize the difference between the
voice of Her Bridegroom and the voice of a stranger.
I am awaiting your decision. I stand with open arms, waiting to receive you,
waiting for you to receive your inheritance. Come, and I will give you what
you have longed for, My precious Bride.

MY BRIDE
Stephen Hanson
"A King will reign in righteousness and princes will reign with Him."
"I AM the King who is coming. I AM He who will reign with an iron scepter. I will reign over the land of my
people, Israel. You looked for a land filled full of milk and honey. You went in search for that land. You came to the river
of the land, but you never crossed over. In all your years of toil and wearisome endeavors, you have never come to that place
of rest. See,,,,,I AM there in the midst of the river with upraised hands, beckoning to come to Me."
"If, you would rule with Me, then you must give up rule over your own kingdoms."
(The Lord showed me a crown of some sort that had many jewels laid in it. It had been fashioned and was now ready to be
given. It appeared to be given to His bride. He then showed me a woman who had on a gown of fushia or reddish purple.
She had wrap-around feathers like would be used on stage. She was on stage as a show girl, and was dancing or twirling
around on stage. It saddened me very much to think who this woman was.)
"This woman represents my bride. She has danced with other men and other religions. She has gone whoreing after other men
in her pursuit of them. When will my bride give-up her pursuits like this? I want her to be pure and undefiled. She is not
without stain or wrinkle in her. Dear people of mine, "When will you stop?" When will you cease from your worldly pursuits?
You cannot "cross over" into that land until you have given these things up. "
"I long for my bride to be ready for Me. I look forward to that day. I AM saddened though about her appearance that it is
now. I AM sending a purifying wave of my Spirit to her. I ask that you would receive it. Come to Me my love, and I will
welcome you back in. You are mine. This is my church and my love. I will care for her. "
Stephen Hanson
*Remember that you can post prophetic words on this site at:
HANNAH'S WOMB AND THE BIRTHING OF MANY SAMUEL'S
1 Samuel 1:1-28
There are many people within the body of Christ that have been called
spiritual Hannah's. God has used your lives as spiritual wombs where
the Holy Spirit has planted heavenly visions and dreams.
You have carried these visions and allowed them to grow deep within
despite the outward signs of barrenness and seemingly fruitlessness in
the past years. And like Hannah, year after year, you did not stop
crying out to the Lord to bring to life all that you've sensed growing
inside of you. You have faced provocation, you have cried bitter
tears. Like Hannah, you have been mistaken for a drunk because of
your desperate cries for help.
THE MOMENT OF BIRTH
WHOLLY DEDICATED TO THE LORD
LIKENED TO ABRAHAM
APPLICATION
The Lord is saying today that we must not be afraid to let go of our
Samuel's once they are birthed-- No matter how young they look and
regardless of the surroundings where they will grow. The Lord will
overshadow these visions and--just like Samuel, God's hand will be upon
them and He will not allow these visions to die but will fulfill the
purpose for which they have been birthed. (3 Samuel 3:19-20)
Even now the Lord is speaking to many of the spiritual Hannah's and
encouraging us to lay our spiritual Samuel's to Him. He wants full
control of how these visions will be fulfilled. He will determine and
chart the path that they will take to grow. He may choose to call and
appoint others to do this, or He may, in due time return stewardship
of these visions to us.
However the Lord would choose to do this, He desires for His children
to have that assurance that our coming Samuel's will be in GOOD HANDS.
--HIS HANDS.
In the same manner that the Lord was with Samuel as he grew up , and
he let none of his words fall to the ground-- and Samuel's words came
to all Israel (3 Samuel 19-20)-- So the Most High God will do the same
with every one of our spiritual Samuel's.
May the peace of the Most High God flood our soul as we choose to walk
the path that Hannah did. And may these words from the mouth of
Hannah becomes ours too as we rejoice in the victory that the Lord
will bring to those who love and obey Him all the way.
HANNAH'S PRAYER: ( 1 Samuel 2:1-12)
Blessings,
A letter from Jesus
Roger Taylor
This Sunday morning, as I was lying in bed praying, I got a picture of a
letter. There was fancy scrollwork across the top in gold. It started out,
"Dear Church," and the signature was simply, "Jesus". It was about a page
long, but I could not make out the other words. I kept looking and
concentrating as hard as I could, but the words just wouldn't come clear. I
said, "Lord, what are you saying."
When I said that, a large drop of blood fell on the letter and splattered
all over it, covering almost all the words.
I thought, "oh,oh!" I asked, "Lord, what does that mean? Then He began to
read the blood-splattered letter to me.
"Dear Church,
I am sending this letter to you, My church, because you have lost sight of
the cross and the cost. Like Israel of old, and Gomer, you are playing the
harlot, seeking other lovers. You spend almost all of your time seeking the
things of this world: money, position, possessions, and prestige. How much
time do you spend seeking Me, the lover of your soul?
You spend the resources I give you on yourselves, while millions are
starving and millions are going to Hell. Even that which you say you give
back to Me is spent on larger buildings and plusher pews for yourselves.
Most of your leaders are more concerned with the budget than they are with
holiness.
Do you not know that it is time for the Bride to come forth, a bride
without spot or wrinkle? Will you be like the five wise virgins and fill
your life with My presence? Remember, the five foolish versions were
waiting for the Bridegroom expectantly, but they did not care enough to
purchase enough oil. Are you preparing for the Bridegroom's coming?
Oh, My people, don't you know how much I long for you to walk with Me and
talk with Me as good friends should and do? Yet, you are more than friends
to Me. Do you not know that the Song of Songs was written about you and I?
'Come away, my love, my fair one.' Come, search for Me and you shall surely
find Me. Seek not the things of this world, nor follow the traditions of
men that have made My Word of no effect. Follow me alone according to My
Word. Share what you have with those in need and you shall have no lack in
the coming time of troubles. Trust only in Me, not your jobs, your bank
accounts, your stock portfolios, or your own abilities. All these things
shall soon be shaken. Only in My arms are there peace, safety and provision.
'Jesus'"
GOD's FIRE
Sharolyn Baldwin
My Fire Is My Love. I send it forth to burn away everything that is not
of me and not everasting. If it is not of My Kingtom it has to go. But
that which is of Me and remains will be Polished and will have been
Strengthed. My children this purifying must take place. Come now and
lay all that is of your ways and agenda's down before Me and let's began
this process. For you are to be My Beautiful Bride without spot or
wrinkle. Come and make room for My Love to burn away the dross. For this
is truly the way...For My Beautiful Bride.

Don't Suffer Shipwreck
A. W. Tozer
Yet the ministry is one of the most perilous of professions. The
devil hates the Spirit-filled minister with an intensity second only
to that which he feels for Christ Himself. The source of this hatred
is not difficult to discover. An effective, Christ-like minister is
a constant embarrassment to the devil, a threat to his dominion, a
rebuttal of his best arguments and a dogged reminder of his coming
overthrow. No wonder he hates him.
Satan knows that the downfall of a prophet of God is a strategic
victory for him, so he rests not day or night devising hidden snares
and deadfalls for the ministry. Perhaps a better figure would be the
poison dart that only paralyzes its victim, for I think that Satan
has little interest in killing the preacher outright. An
ineffective, half-alive minister is a better advertisement for hell
than a good man dead. So the preacher's dangers are likely to be
spiritual rather than physical, though sometimes the enemy works
through bodily weaknesses to get to the preacher's soul. God Tells
the Man Who Cares, 90-91.
"Lord, the battle is intense and the enemy is strong. I pray for
every one of my fellow-servants this morning, especially those who
may be close to succumbing. Give Your great grace and victory
today. Amen."
Our Old Nature
Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth:
fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and
covetousness, which is idolatry.
--Colossians 3:5
There are a lot of people trying to get away with the old man. What do
I mean by the old man? I mean your pride, your bossiness, your
nastiness, your temper, your mean disposition, your lustfulness and
your quarrelsomeness. What do I mean, Reverend? I mean your study,
your hunting for a bigger church, being dissatisfied with the
offering and blaming the superintendent because you cannot get
called. The reason you cannot get called is nobody wants you. That is
what I mean, Reverend.
Deacons, what do I mean? I mean sitting around in board meetings
wearing your poor pastor out, because you are too stubborn to humble
yourself and admit you are wrong.
What do I mean, musicians? I mean that demeanor that makes you hate
somebody that can sing a little better than you can. I mean that
jealousy that makes you want to play the violin when everybody knows
you can't, especially the choir director. You hate him, wish he were
dead, and secretly pray that he would get called to Punxsutawney.
That is what I mean. All of this may be under the guise of
spirituality and we may have learned to put our head over on one
side, fold our hands gently and put on a beatific smile like St.
Francis of Assisi, and still be just as carnal as they come.
Success and the Christian, 42-44.
"Wow! Tozer pulls no punches this morning, Lord! May Your Holy
Spirit bring the proper conviction and repentance to my heart and
give me victory over any of these carnal thoughts that might be
mine today. Amen."

Refiners Fire
Gary
I choose to be holy, set apart for you my Lord. Ready to do your will.
Purify my heart, cleanse me from within, make me holy, cleanse me from my
deep sin within. Refiners fire, my hearts one desire is to be holy. Set
apart for your work.
The above words are the words to a worship song that I thoroughly enjoy
worshiping at our saviours feet to. They say the very desire of my inner
heart. However, I have noticed that what I sing with my lips and how I
live my daily life many times conflict. Am I a hypocrite, I don't think
so. I am just acknowledging that deep with in me is a struggle. A
struggle to "live the life". Deep in my soul I struggle some times with
the question what is the battle for. I hear his voice calling me to draw
deeper. Yet when I draw neigh to his presence I realize again that I still
have sin "in my camp (heart)". I fall on my face crying, father forgive
me. I study his word and find Paul speaks of this very struggle in Romans.
I purpose to serve him with a clean heart. I really enjoy being in his
presence. I have no problem with sin in his presence. It is when I walk
among the world. I find the tug of war begins at the front door. I find
that the old nature just does not want to lie down and die. I find, as
Paul states, I MUST die daily. I must present my body as a living
sacrifice daily, many times hourly. I hear his voice calling to me "will
you come and fellowship with me?' I answer, yes Lord, yes. I long to
worship you in your presence. It's so refreshing. If I could dwell there
and not get entangled in the affairs of this world, I would.
To me that is heart felt "renewal". I just want to bask in his presence.
However, what good does it do this world if I bask in his presence
(touching heaven) and I don't impact those around me (changing earth). I
hear fellowships in the body on television and radio declaring that they
are in the midst of revival. Then I listen as they define revival. What
they describe should not be the exception but the normal. We the body of
Christ have gotten so out of communion with our father that the norm has
become the unusual. I yearn daily to walk in his presence. But, again, I
contend with my flesh (senses).
What is "RENEWAL" to you? What impact does it have on your life? Does it
stir the battle between your flesh and spirit man?
What is "REVIVAL"? What are you reviving? How do you define your
relationship with our eternal father? Are you hearing his voice? Are you
crawling to him with a humble heart?
What has captured your attention? Are you pursuing him and his presence?
Are you seeking the riches of this world?
I am daily realizing how much of a tug this world has on me. I have to
labor in this world to provide for my families needs. I am realizing that
I must daily keep my communication open with my father or else I grow
distant and cold. What about you? When is the last time you just set
time aside and adored our eternal father. It is soooo refreshing.
Words and emotions mean nothing. They change with our environment. But
heart felt worship changes us.
I have discovered that as soon as I purpose to worship and draw neigh to
our dad, the first line of defense the enemy puts up is condemnation. But,
when I start repenting of everything the Holy Spirit reveals to me I see
him striping away those dirty garments and he ushers me into his awesome
presence. That is the refiner's fire.
In his presence,
Gary
Fear Not For I Am Still God!
Carylann Hartley
Be not afraid! Have I not spoken this before? Am I still not the same God
that I was yesterday and will be tomorrow? Is my arm to short or has my
sight grown dim? I AM the same YESTERDAY, TODAY and FOREVER! I DO NOT
CHANGE! I Am in control of all that you see going on. FEAR NOT! Those
things that you see taking place must happen in order for the things to be
fulfilled that will bring about the new heavens and the new earth. Do not
think that all is not well but pray for the time to be shortened that the
elect would not falter or fall.
My people have much to learn and the time is very short. Do not rely on your
old ways of doing things for those ways are not going to work today. Just
like the manna had to be picked up fresh every day so My ways must be fresh.
I do not change but I do expect change in My people, My Bride. I will show
you new ways, better ways that you have not yet seen or heard of. I will
show you things that you can not even dream of at this time. Do not be
afraid of change or of what is to come.
Think about what is NOW not tomorrow for tomorrow is not here yet. For this
is the day of your salvation. This is the day that in which you must be
willing to change and to go out in love to My lost sheep. My Love for you is
to be your strength and it will carry you to your destiny. Do not think that
someone else will go and share the words and thoughts and gifting that I
have given you to share.
You are a special piece of workmanship from My hand and there is no other
like you. Do not think less of yourself than you ought nor should you think
more highly of yourself and walk in pride but rather know who you are in Me
and go forth boldly to fulfill your destiny! This is not a time of false
modesty nor a time to be intimidated by those you deem more knowledgeable or
more gifted than yourself. You are the one that I am calling to Go and Do
all that I tell you to do and to say - without fear or hesitation.
Do you not know that I have called you and if I have called you then I will
supply all that you need to carry out the assignment I give you! My people
have been drinking the milk for too long now. It is time to eat the solid
food and give the milk to the babies. It is time for the Bride to become
ready. It is time for her to grow up!
There are many things that I must teach you quickly, so learn to hear and
obey My voice and to move quickly when I tell you to move. You must be like
Gideon's Army, always on the alert and always ready. Things are going to
accelerate at a rate that you can not even imagine now but in the next year
or so you will be amazed at the changes in your own situations and those in
the world. Do not believe the lies of the enemy nor listen to them. By
listening you are already falling into a trap and will start to believe them.
Remember that I Am in control and ALL things are being prepared. Do not
lean on your own understanding. Believe that I Am who I say I Am and can and
will do what I have said I would do! Do not doubt or fear! Believe and Trust
in Me for I will not fail you.

Prophecy to the Prophets
DEBBIE COSSU
Isaiah 49:2
To those who are called as prophets of the Lord:
Do not trust what appears to be the end of the battle, for I declare, it
is time to war! Apparent victory can lead to defeat if you fail to
recognize the spiritual implications that will be made known to you.
The courage, boldness, and bravery I have placed within you is what
shall carry you through the coming decade. Guard diligently the motives
and inclinations of your heart. Do not be swayed by the favor of man. Do
not be dulled by seemly lack of activity from the enemy. Remain loyal,
remain true, remain faithful unto Me. Listen and I will tell you the
secrets of My heart that you might proclaim them to the world.
There is life and death in your tongue. Many listen to My voice through
yours. You are My mouthpiece indeed, but to be fruitful you must be
hidden in My hand, and to speak you must bear My heart. You can only bear
My Heart as yours remains tender and humble and hidden in Mine.
I will quiet the questions that arise, not by giving the answers you
want to stand strong, but through granting the grace you need to bow
down. Allow Me to do My work as you are an instrument in My hand, sharp
and quick. There is nothing you can do on your own that will further My
kingdom. I must continue to polish and refine you, and am about that
process continually. As I sharpen you in My Hands, the work is often done
in secret, but nothing remains hidden forever...
Do not ever judge by what you see or hear, do not judge one another at
all. I say do not even judge yourselves! (1 Cor. 4:1-5.) You do not
have access to all that I am about in an individual any more than you
understand what I am doing in this country. Things are not always what
they appear. Open your eyes to hear what I am saying!
Do not misinterpret perceived victory as the answer you have longed
for. Stand clothed in valor for the days that will follow. You are the
answer the world has looked to find. You must be strong and ready to
fight!
I will continue to keep you polished and sharp in My Hand as My heart
beats in yours for the world beyond what you have known, and for the
people you have yet to love.
Be an example in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.
Open your mouth and My Hand will go forth.

SPIRITUAL HANNAH'S
The Lord wants to announce to every one who has walked this path that
your season for birth is at hand. As the Lord remembered Hannah and
in the course of time she conceived and gave birth to Samuel (1 Samuel
1:19-20)-- So your time for giving birth to your Samuel has also come
and is now at hand.
But like Hannah who brought Samuel to the house of the Lord and gave
him to the Lord and he worshipped the Lord there-- So many of the
Samuel's that will be birthed in the coming days will belong totally
to the Lord.
Like Abraham, your Isaac will soon be born to you. And in the same
way that God instructed Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering--
So you too have to offer your Isaac to God. (Genesis 22:1-2)
"Even now, prepare your hearts" says the Lord. "Learn to let go even
before You received them [your Isaacs and your Samuels]. Take hold of
them lightly for they belong to Me."
Many visions that God has planted in the spiritual wombs of His people
are about to come to fullness. However, like Hannah everyone of them
will belong to God from the moment of birth. He will raise up others
to care and make this vision grow-- and like Hannah, many who have
carried them will have to watch their spiritual visions grow from a
distance.
Then Hannah prayed and said:
"My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.
"There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
"Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such
arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows and by him deeds are
weighed.
"The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed
with strength.
" Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were
hungry hunger no more. She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
"The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave
and raises up.
"The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.
"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash
heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of
honor.
"For the foundations of the earth are the Lord's; upon them he has set
the world.
"He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced
in darkness.
It is not by strength that one prevails; those who oppose the Lord
will be shattered. He will thunder against them from heaven; the Lord
will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king
and exalt the horns of his anointed."
Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy ministered before the
Lord under Eli the priest.

previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good
warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having
rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck....
