RHEMA 8/19/10  IT IS TIME TO RETURN TO THE FORTRESS

This AM as I was praying over something demonic that occurred last night, I

HEARD:  "It is time to return to the fortress" so this is the scripture that popped up when I typed in fortress in the concordance:

2 Sam 22:2-4  NKJV

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;  The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge.  My Savior, You save me from violence.  I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

WAYNE VISION:  He was standing upon a mountain and below him was a city.  He looked directly to the west.  The whole sky was a solid black cloud that was rolling and boiling.  There are no cities to our west; we are 50 miles from the west coast.

QUICKENED WORD: 

Today as I read what a QW class member heard, it really touched me today.

She heard: I will protect you. I will defend you. His angels are around you.

QUICKENED GRAPHIC:  Today I was impressed to share this with someone in our QW Class, when she saw an ocean jetty being flooded.

PRAYER:  Lord if there is a demonic plan being perpetrated against a west coast city, we ask that You will raise a standard against it.  We ask that you will stop and defeat the demonic plot in Jesus Name.  We loose the angels to go forth and supernatural protection.  We release creation and the weather patterns to defeat any demonic plot in the Name of Jesus. And we cover our lives, families and cities with the blood of Jesus Christ.

WORD TO PONDER:  RETURN TO YOUR FORTRESS  8/19/10

Beloved, when the demonic manifest and you become aware of what is going on around you, I realize that it can be traumatizing.  I want to speak peace to your soul and say, "Fear not!"  I have heard the cries of your heart as you run to Me for your safety.  I AM your refuge, your fortress and defense.  I have surrounded you with angels and My shield of defense.  I am saving you from violence and am protecting you.  I AM your strength and your salvation!

2 Sam 22:2-4

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.  I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.

QUICKENED:  Today someone sent me this anonymous story and I felt it was relevant to today's rhema

CAN YOU SLEEP WHEN THE WIND BLOWS?

Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly
advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms
along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the
Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. 

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady
stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age,
approached the farmer. "Are you a good farmhand?" the farmer asked him.
"Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man. Although
puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. 

The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the
farmer felt satisfied with the man's work. Then one night the wind howled
loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern
and rushed next door to the hiredhand's sleeping quarters. He shook the
little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before
they blow away!" The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No
sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows." 

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. 
Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he
discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins.The
cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were
barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down.
Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand
meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.

MORAL: When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you
have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?
The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the
farm against the storm. We, as believers in Christ, secure ourselves
against the storms of life by grounding ourselves in the Word of God. We
don't need to understand, we just need to hold His hand to have peace in the
midst of the storms.

Wayne has received serious warning dreams and visions before.  The most remarkable one was the day that our grandson's life was saved with only minutes to spare.  After Wayne shared his vision with me, we had just finished praying and rebuking the spirit of death when we received the phone call.  His full color vision that had the warning of death, but also had promise of deliverance came to pass.
