TO BE CATAPULTED OUT OF DEMONIC TRAPS

2/04/26 TO BE CATAPULTED OUT OF DEMONIC TRAPS

2/20/26 NOTE: Three times this month I saw 3 demonic traps set up to entrap God’s people into the pits of a dark place. One was a stuck place. One was a low depressed place. And the last was a very dark place of danger of being cut off. As I prayed and took authority over the demonic intents, here are some of the Words the Lord gave me about such. For those who are in stuck and dangerous places, He is going to catapult them up and out!! Praise the Name of Jesus, our Deliverer!

Psalm 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.


1/31/26 THEY WILL BE CATAPULTED

I will help says the Lord. Don’t worry. They are about to break through. I will catapult them.

2/04/26 TO BE CATAPULTED!

I will catapult them. I will not leave your loved ones behind says the Lord.

I saw a lady with tennis shoes attending to Baby Kitty’s tent. (For the winter, her cat tree is inside a tent, underneath our deck roof, with heat lamp and heat pad.) I saw a cat stand on its hind legs with his paws raised up above his head. With both paws he had grabbed onto a large knot at the end of a dangling rope. I knew what that meant and literally laughed out loud when I saw that, remembering the past funny Word about the catapulted cat!) After I settled from laughing, I heard: Are you ready? [Lord You are so funny! I love You so much!]

WORD PUN: CATapult.

FUNNY STORY ABOUT THE CATAPULTED CAT!

9/27/00 HIS CATAPULT – NEED A LIFT?

“Kitten From Heaven”

A pastor had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc. The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten. He did all this, checking his progress in the car frequently, then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved a little further forward … the rope broke.

The tree went “boing!” and the kitten instantly sailed through the air-out of sight. The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they’d seen a little kitten. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So, he prayed, “Lord, I just commit this kitten to Your keeping,” and went on about his business. A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. Now this woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?” She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if the Lord gives you a cat, I’ll let you keep it.” She told the pastor, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask the Lord for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws spread out, and landed right in front of her.”

2/19/26 JAIL BREAK

Jail break. About to break out of jail. I will set them free. I am working everything out together for good.

Psalm 30:1-3 I will extol you, O LORD; for you have lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried unto you, and you have healed me. 3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. 3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

WORD PLAYS ON “IN THE PIT”

One of the ways God speaks is through word puns, which are like spiritual riddles with double meaning. One night I heard the Lord talk about discouraged prophets who were taking frequent pit stops. He said He was smoothing and filling the bumps in their roads and that He was not dealing with their shortcomings but rather helping them change into His image.

The next morning I saw one of my graphics of the Grand Canyon and remembered the maze vision where people were trying to climb their way out of the Grand Canyon. I realized from the top view, the Grand Canyon looked like a giant pit. Next we leave to do errands and my mouth dropped when Wayne grabs a coupon that said, “PIT STOP Free Car Wash.” After we left the carwash, several miles away the traffic came to a stop right in front of the PIT STOP!

Later at Wallmart I was tired and starting to whine. Wayne says to me, “Are you getting…. grumpy? There was a long pause after the word, getting. He was trying to choose his word carefully! He glanced in our cart and saw a tiny pill container that said AM and PM. He asked, “Do you have PM?” Immediately I am thinking PMS and wondering if there was something like a Post-Menopausal symptoms. So I said, “Yes I have Post Misery.”

Wayne laughed because he was thinking that this whole journey was going to be added onto some POST. So I spoke into my digital recorder: “Well thus ends the post on Being in the Pits. It started out a comforting Word and now it has ended in Post Misery!!!

WORD TO PONDER: THAT ROAD MAP IS NOT THE PITS 3/13/07

My dear one, you see the bumps in the road and fall into the pits. You think I am dealing with you, but I am not. I use everything in your life for GOOD. I AM changing you with My love, I AM changing you because I love you. I AM helping you overcome the pits and bumps in your life by filling them and smoothing your road. Let Me wash you off from the pits in your road dear one. I totally adore you, now change your focus off the negative and onto Me, for My plans are for your good and not evil.

Ps 143:7-8 NKJV

Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.

Isa 40:4-5 NKJV

Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
