Prophesy

Warning in the Last Days 10-18-14

I’m sure you all recall a word that I received and sent out to you all on October 14^th (see previous blog) regarding the last days.  That following Saturday (18^th) I received another word that is tied to this during Saturday service at FBC.  I received it in two parts.  The first part was during the praise part of the service and the second part during the sermon.

Confirmation in one form or another seems to follow prophesy if we are patient to receive.  In this case it came from Scripture days later from my wife.  Again, I am hesitant to share, as I don’t want to appear as anyone that is special or important in this world.  My goal is to be obedient to God and do what He expects us to do in this world as we wait for the glorious coming of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Part 1:  In the last days, we are to seek out those who are strong in the Lord (You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also 2 Timothy 2:1-2) , who know about the invisible world, who know about the dark kingdom and their devices , and who know their authority and power in the name of Jesus Christ against Satan and his army.

Part 2:  In the last days, evil will rise up to an incredibly high level.  Consequently, God will raise a remnant (elect 2 Timothy 2:10) up to a higher level for the benefit of those who truly believe.

2 Timothy 2:3-4 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 

2 Timothy 2:7-11Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.  Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

2 Timothy 2:11-13 This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. If we endure, We shall also reign with Him.  If we deny Him,  He also will deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

In Jesus Name,

Prophesy - Warning

10-11-14

About three or four weeks I ago I received a word and recently I shared it with my wife.  It goes something like this: In these last days, there will be a wickedness so evil that mankind will not be able to comprehend it because mankind has not seen or experienced it in this present age. Nor will they know how to battle it because we are not prepared.

This past week, I received an email encouraging me to view a couple of telecasts on 9-19 and 9-23 from Rick Joyner at http://www.morningstarministries.org/. Rick is not someone that I was aware of.  Perhaps I seen one of his books, but I did not have any knowledge of him.  The subject matter is about dreams he received regarding an attack from an evil and demonic force working through a group coming in through our southern borders.  This demonic force is so evil and ruthless that ISIS cannot compare.  Rick said that this supernatural evil is from the pit of hell.  As a side bar, El Chapo Guzman who was the head of a huge drug cartel, exhibited extreme ruthless behavior.  I mention this because of the high level demonic presence originating in Mexico and other places in the last days.  Their behavior is similar to ISIS and we have not seen the worst.

I was not open to sharing what I received until I viewed these two videos from Rick Joyner.  His dream was confirmation of what I received.  I mean, who am I that I should share?  I am nobody special in this world, but I have a responsibility to warn people what I have received and Rick Joyner deemed it necessary to do the same.

The purpose of this writing is twofold.  One is to warn.  The second is to answer questions below from the person who sent me the original email about Rick Joyner:  How will you handle it? Walking in the Spirit, prayer, fasting? Don't want to bother you, but I need to know. 

There is only one way to answer these questions and to understand what we need to combat these evil forces in the end times.  We have to rely on God.

First, we must repent of our sins and ask God to forgive us each and every day.  We must do everything in our power to obey His commandments, precepts, statutes and principles.

Developing a high level relationship with God through His Word.  John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.  Without His word, we cannot possible be equipped to battle the enemy.

We truly have to spend as much of our free time in His word as possible and it has to be every day.  We become more in tune with God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit when we do so. It is imperative to put aside time consuming fleshly activities that keep us away from His Word.  Reading His word will result in, revelation, prophesy, wisdom, knowledge, discernment, answers to our questions, and much more.

Knowing our authority In Jesus Christ.  Mark 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.  Believing this and applying it is paramount in disarming demonic forces.  Colossians 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Knowing where our power comes from.  We have authority in Jesus name.  The power comes from the Holy Spirit just as when Jesus came up from the water.  Mark 1:10 And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. It was after Jesus received the Holy Spirit that He was able to start His ministry of sharing the Gospel and performing a multitude of miracles.  The same power we need until His second coming.

Operating the Holy Spirit is vital to our Christian walk.  When we are walking in the Spirit, we are not walking in the flesh, as they are contrary to each other (Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish).  How do we operate in the Spirit?  We pray always and continuously in the Spirit throughout the day (Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints).  We invite the Holy Spirt to be present.  We ask the Holy Spirit to indwell in us.  We call on the Holy Spirit to help us, for He is our Helper God sent to us when Jesus went to be with the Father (John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you).

Knowing the benefits of prayer and fasting.  This is extremely important and Jesus reminded us that these extremely demonic entities can only be dealt with by prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting”).  

Why fast?  Stated simply, biblical fasting is refraining from food for a spiritual purpose.  When you eliminate food from you diet for a number days, you spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and is amazingly sensitive to the things of God.  Fasting brings one into a deeper, more intimate and powerful relationship with the Lord.

Jesus speaks about the need for fasting once he leaves.  John 5:35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”

Throughout the Bible there are many men and women of God who have fasted and the end result was breakthrough.  Moses fasted 40 days (Deuteronomy 9:18. Ezra proclaimed a fast (Ezra 8:21). Children of Israel fasted (Nehemiah 9:1). David fasted (2 Samuel 1:2, Psalms 35:3, and Psalms 109:24). Ester fasted (Ester 4:16). Anna fasted (Luke 2:37). Married couples should fast (Luke 7:5) Paul fasted (Luke 9:9). Cornelius fasted (Acts 10:30). Jesus teaches fasting (Matthew 6:16-18.

 To better understand fasting I recommend the book “Fasting” by Jentezen Franklin.

Unfortunately, the Body of Christ are not fasting people and the Church does not encourage fasting as a regular part of their doctrine which is contrary to the Word of God.

To emphasize: Fasting is repeated referred to throughout Scripture as a sacrificial form of prayer warfare that produces results available in on other way.  This especially emphasized in the demonic deliverance in Christ’s day Mark 9:14-29. Fasting involves a sacrificial denial of necessary nourishment while turning one’s attention to seeking God during that denial.

In conclusion, these points are not inclusive, but what is listed can be a good resource as we engage in the spiritual battle against evil in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

It is my prayer that we all prepare wholeheartedly for the coming of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

May God be with you all,

Tony Sanchez

Spirit of Bitterness

Greetings,

 

As I have recently shared, I am a part of a ministry called the Healing Room.  In this ministry we come across many that have un-forgiveness as result of an offense.  One women in particular had such a high level of un-forgiveness that she had huge difficulty getting the words out as we led her to forgive and say the words “I forgive Sally.”  She had been severely hurt by this women, but she chose to forgive.

 

I would like to resend this piece I put together a couple of years ago that will give a better understanding of what leads to un-forgiveness and what the end result can be.  We all have had to deal with un-forgiveness in the past and we will have to deal with it now and in the future.  Please take time to read.

 

Offenses Leads Us To Bitterness

Definition of OFFENSE: 1. An act of stumbling, a cause or occasion of sin, stumbling block. 2. Something that outrages the moral or physical senses. 3. The act of attacking, assault. 4 The act of displeasing or insulting, the state of being insulted or morally outraged, takes offense at the slightest criticism. 5 breach of a moral or social code, sin, and misdeed

Matthew 18:7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! (New Century Version - Matthew 18:7 How terrible for the people of the world because of the things that cause them to sin. Such things will happen, but how terrible for the one who causes them to happen!)

As I observe people, I have realized how so many are hurt due to offenses.  You can see the different stages of hurt that has manifested on their faces or in their demeanor. The offenses almost always results in rejection.  We take offense because we believe what man says or does to us despite the fact that God is very clear on who we should trust. Psalm 7:1 O LORD my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me.  Psalm 56:11 In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?  Man cannot do anything to you unless you open the door for him to do so.  Man offends by criticism, judging, accusations (charges against you) blame, slander, backbiting, gossip, etc.

How do we open the door to torment and destruction when we are offended or when we offend?  Before we go any further, I want to give you a list that is a result of offenses and I want to ask you to meditate on these and tell me which one is the strongman.  This strongman will allow the rest to manifest and is the general over the rest.

Bitterness….Unforgiveness….Resentment....Retaliation….Anger/Wrath….Hatred….Volience….Murder….

If you picked Murder, you are incorrect.  Murder is the end result.  We have to identify the one in control once we opened the door due to the offense.  Bitterness is the strongman.  Bitterness initiates the process that can result in murder or will leave you in bondage somewhere in between Bitterness and Murder.

Bitterness - Hebrews 12:15 Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.   Bitterness corrodes like acid, eating away at our soul.  It poisons the mind first and then the body.  It is often marked by cynicism and animosity toward others.  Bitterness is a strong man kept in place by several underlings.  Each underling is given entry into our lives by the one preceding it.  The severity of the evilness of each underlings gets progressively worse.  Bitterness is a strongman and he seeks a place to live.  You are the palace and he wants to be in your house and once you let him in, he will bring others to torment you.  He is the general and he has an army that he will try bring in and destroy you.

Un-forgiveness - Something has been done to you and there is a spirit assigned to you.  What is the first thing that comes to you when someone wrongs you?  Un-forgiveness.  Bitterness is the strongman and the first armor he trusts in is Un-forgiveness.  Un-forgiveness is now part of your life and your will not have forgiveness if you give a place and habitation for Un-forgiveness.

What Bitterness is banking on is you remembering a record of wrongs.  He is banking on the spirit of Un-forgiveness reminding you of Bitterness someone has against you.  The task of Un-forgiveness is to remind you, rehash it, bring it up, project it, and torment you with it.  Un-forgiveness will replay the words, the voices, the sights, and the sounds.  Un-forgiveness will flash at you everything others have ever said over and over again to reinforce itself so the strongman of Bitterness can stay.

Resentment – The strongman now sends out another spirit to reinforce Un-forgiveness.  Resentment stands on the foundation of Un-forgiveness.  The record of wrongs is now fermenting and Resentment fuels the fermentation of Un-forgiveness.

Resentment defiles you by saying “You know what?  I really don’t like you.  I resent you. I’m never going to forgive you.”  Bitterness is trusting the spirit of Un-forgiveness to stay with you and add fuel to the fire. He is trusting that Resentment will get a foothold for more torment and control. 

Retaliation – “I’m going to get even.  You’re going to pay.  I remember what you did to me and you better watch your back.”  The spirit of Retaliation is much more dangerous than Un-forgiveness and Resentment.  After Resentment has started to simmer, we find ways to get back at the person who caused it.  We do this in many ways and one of the most common is slandering of the person.  You will express your criticism to anyone who will listen.  You want to be heard and you want someone to agree with you and when they don’t, you go to the next person.

Anger and Wrath – After Retaliation gets a foot hold, anger starts to set in.  Un-forgiveness, Resentment and Retaliation have been building and now a strong feeling of anger comes along.  Un-forgiveness and Resentment can be hidden skillfully by someone who is deceptive.  Retaliation can be hidden, but Anger starts to show physically.  Family, friends, coworkers, see this manifestation of anger in your face and demeanor.  It is a very uncomfortable for people to coexist with a person with anger and wrath.

Anger and Wrath never occur unless these three, Un-forgiveness, Resentment and Retaliation have been festering for some time.  You get angry for a reason.  The reason is because of the breach, because of the hurt, because of the victimization, and they that their anger is justified.

Retaliation may seem worse than Anger, but this is the fermenting stage.  Retaliation sets the stage to eliminate, but you will not eliminate anyone unless you have Anger and Wrath working within the spiritual dynamics of this principality and the spirits that create and answer to it.

We are dealing with Anger coming out of a relationship.  This is the Anger and Wrath tied to Bitterness.  This is a progression of spiritual dynamics producing the elimination of a person in a relationship.  It is the root behind all people who murdered someone and are in prison.  It is the root behind all family splits, behind all division, and behind all break up of human relationships.

Hatred – After Anger and Wrath has gained their foothold, Hatred comes.  Hatred not only has the root of Bitterness, but is being fueled by all the previous.  Now begins the stage of elimination. 

Hatred says this: “I exist on the planet and you do too, and one of us has to go and it will not be me.  I hate you, I can’t stand you.  I resent you, I am going to get even because you don’t belong on this planet.”  Hatred involves the elimination of the other person.  Retaliation was the fermenting stage of this.  Anger started to vocalize it and now Hatred comes to help execute it.

Bitter ness is banking on the fact when you are ready to forgive, old Un-forgiveness will pull up a flash card of memories reminding you of what they did to you.

Violence – You can see Violence every day in families and the news is a constant reminder how bad it is getting.  This is the progression of breakup of human relationships out of Bitterness.  Bitterness is behind all domestic Violence and all juvenile Violence.

Violence is what puts people in jail and this is why we have a police force.  Violence is Anger and Hatred in motion because it is not just emotional and spiritual anymore, it has now become physical.

At this level, people will hate you so much; they will want to punch your lights out physically or verbally.  Bitterness is banking on the fact that this progression in your life is going to keep him in place and these spirits are able to generate their nature in you and also in others to fuel this thing back and forth.

Murder – The seventh and final spirit that competes the full plan of the devil for destruction originating from the strongman of Bitterness (Hebrews 12:15) is the spirit of Murder. 

This can actually be physical murder, or murder with the tongue, which is character assassination.  When hatred, violence and murder are in someone’s life, they feel they are justified and everybody else is going to pay the price.  Have you been a victim of this?  Did you feel defiled?  Have you victimized someone else on this basis?

Beware – If any one of these seven spirits answering to bitterness exists, all of the preceding spirits will be there.  If left unchecked, all the rest will surely come.  For example, if you see Hatred in a person, Un-forgiveness, Resentment, Retaliation and Anger always precedes Hatred.  Each of the seven is progressively worse than the one just preceding it.  You are a target of the strongman of Bitterness and you don’t want him to set up his throne within your life.

Resolution – In order to defeat the strongman of Bitterness, you need to understand how his armor works.  You have to understand the Bitterness armor in your life so that so that Bitterness can be dealt with and you can be set free.  If you have been offended by someone or you have offended someone, the breach needs to be repaired with that person if at all possible.  If it is not possible, you can still be free by the power of God through Jesus Christ whether there is any resolution with that person who created the breach or not.

We are going to get offended as we go through life.   The key is don’t hold the offense captive (….bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5).  When someone says or does something that makes you feel a “ping of hurt,” recognize that “ping of hurt” as an offense.  This is especially important for people who have a long history of rejection in their lives.  They tend to take anything that someone says as rejection and therefore, is an offense to them.  Immediately renounce the words or actions that caused the “ping of hurt” in the Name of Jesus.  Below is the prayer and authority that we use when an offense comes.

Forgive me Father for taking offence.  I renounce this offense.  I repent for believing in this offense and in the name of Jesus Christ I cast out this offense (Mark 16:17).  I choose to believe what You say about me and not the offender.

Guard you heart against offenses because in doing so, you protect yourself against the downward spiral of torment that Bitterness brings to you and all people that are around you. Don’t claim the words or actions of the offense, but instead claim what God has to say about you.  I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well. Psalm 139:14. 

Forgive those who offend you and understand that it is the sin working in them. 

If man offends me, I choose to forgive him. Yes, if you forgive others for their sins, your Father in heaven will also forgive you for your sins Matthew 6:14.

Thank you Henry Wright at Be In Health Ministries for your insights to Bitterness.

Blessings, Tony Sanchez
