Written by Emma Freeman In a dream I stood in the middle of a large field. I noticed to my right, far away were 3 demonic spirits flying through the sky. I didn’t like that they were clearly on an assignment, so I started interceding against what they were doing. As I did this, one spirit stopped, changed course and came hurtling towards me. The Lord said to me ‘stand your ground’. As it came nearer I could see it had a grotesque horse head, which got larger and larger the closer it got until it was as big as me. It was really intimidating but I stood still. It finally reached me and stopped an inch away from my face - all it had was intimidation! It’s ONLY power was if it was able to scare me into moving, which would give it what it needed to appear powerful! However, because I stood my ground, it was revealed as powerless. There are situations in which the Lord has called us to a place of victory and the enemy will try to intimidate and scare us out of them, but we need to stand our ground! A while after having this dream, I became aware that in my life I was in a position that felt like I was standing in a minefield. I had been drawn into a situation that was very volatile and put me in what looked like a very vulnerable position because it had the potential to affect my work and friendships. I found myself trapped in a particular awkward situation where I respectfully stood my ground and refused to be manipulated by emotional blackmail. After being released, the fear of what could happen as a result of not giving in started to take hold. "Lord, I'm way out of my depth here, please help..." I began praying but He reminded me of the dream and I realised I had moved from my place of victory and was praying out of a position of fear and defeat. I regained my position and stood my ground - "Thank You Lord that You have called me into this situation and this is Your battle so You will equip me with everything I need! I declare Your victory over.... Please help me to follow Your instructions so I can disarm the 'landmines' and bring You the spoils! Thank You that my security is not in my work because You are my provider!...". The fear lifted and I realised the enemy wants us full of fear because it diminishes our prayers from ones that tear down strong holds to weak ones that ask for the minimal because we feel we are clutching at straws. So I want to encourage you to ...be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:10-18 I came across this video which is an amazing testimony and illustrates what praying from a place of victory, not fear looks like:

Written by Emma Freeman There was a green near where we were staying, which we felt to dance on. When we arrived there were around 50 young people sitting under a canopy. We brought our speaker and as soon as we put on the music and started dancing, the majority of the young people jumped up, cheered and all ran over to join in! Yes, it actually was like something out of a film... As we danced with them, they told us that they were striking from school in protest due to the new head dismissing their 'house mother'. About 5-10 minutes before we arrived, the head had come out to say she wouldn't be reversing the decision, so they were feeling defeated and disheartened. We arrived with music and dancing, which lifted their spirits! They requested some songs and taught us a few dances! Some of us chatted with them, while others danced with them. "Are you Jews for Jesus?" They asked. Ginnie explained why we were there. She encouraged them that we were standing with them, praying for them and it was important they pray for their nation too. Later we found a spot that looked over the valley. We worshiped there and asked our Lord to gather the scattered people and to bring life to the sleeping... "I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them to all those winds. There will be no nation where the dispersed of Elam will not go." Jeremiah 49:36 "Then He will send out the angels and will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth, to the end of heaven.” Mark 13:12 "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life."'" Ezekiel 37:9 We also danced Mayim Mayim - for the waters (the Spirit) to arise in the desert - another way to declare the same thing. Contributions from: Virginia White, Diane-Rose & John Chamberlain-Butt, Rosie Smith and a few worshiping warriors who joined us (thank you!). The Lord impressed on us that we should make a prophetic act outside the Houses of Parliament. As the day for the Brexit Referendum drew near we took twelve angel wings and stood in silent vigil, and as Big Ben struck 6p.m. we raised our wings for righteous governance and for God's perfect will for future alliances. This is what we felt the Lord was showing us: His return is near and now is (He is affecting history rapidly). His time is different to ours. Sensed His shalom as we prayed this through the streets. The rain then stopped. A change of season is coming...salt seasoning...His righteous rule for a rebellious generation. We sensed a warm glow of light in the houses of parliament as we prayed. Gold spires at the top of Westminster Abbey...church and state are historically joined there. We raised our wings at the strike of 18:00, the six o’clock news - a symbol of where the world is at and so a wake up call to news in the spiritual world. I the commander of the Heavens armies, have set above you an open Heaven- there is no barrier to your prayers. I who can turn the heart of the king can certainly turn the hearts of the politicians. We past the statue of Oliver Cromwell who welcomed back the Jews to Britain. When we stood in front of Big Ben, I saw an army standing for God’s righteousness. On the stroke of the chime- there was a cutting in the Heavenlies! Isaiah 45 v 8 You heavens above, reign down my righteousness let the clouds shower it down, let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it. I saw a snake on a pole and I saw it burnt up. I saw Araron’s rod, budded and growing almonds. I saw M.P.s eating the almonds. As we walked in front of the Houses of Parliament several 'signs' stood out to me as if God was highlighting them. (Jeremiah 1-11 "What do you see Jeremiah?" V12 The Lord said to me "you have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that My word is fulfilled." Then again in verse 13 "What do you see?") I saw a circular sign in the footpath -JUBILEE WALK. I immediately thought 'freedom' and that this was the Year of Jubilee we had just been talking about in the conference. I saw the magnificent statue of Richard the LIONHEART. We were in the heart of the soon returning Lion of Judah doing His will. I saw the statue of Cromwell but didn't realise the significance until we shared afterwards and a lady explained that Cromwell had helped path the way for Jews to return to Britain. We stood on BRIDGE STREET looking up at Big Ben waiting 5 minutes for the 6pm chimes as we raised our wings. We were 'Being the Bridge' between heaven and earth to bring His will on earth as it is in heaven. My heart leapt as I looked on the other bank of the river Thames and saw St. Thomas's Hospital. 7years ago my grand daughter was born there and as I picked her up to take her home I saw the magnificent view of the Houses of Parliament from her window praying and knowing it to be significant. Little did I know that 7 years later we would be standing raising 12 angels wings praying for our country. "Seven being completion and new birth for the next generation" I heard God explaining. As we walked back silently just towards the end of the Parliament building I saw the sign 'OUT' highlighted! 'Come out of her Babylon!' We had heard God's heart very clearly in the conference. 12 of us stood with angel wings and the rest stood in front. Having someone standing praying in front of us was really powerful and it reminded me of a drawing I had done of an angel of Fire behind me as I worshiped. Previously we had prayed together as a dance group about this assignment and proclaimed these scriptures:
Psalm 97.3 'Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on everyside' Hebs12.29 'For Our God is a consuming fire.' Deut 4.24 'For the Lord your God is a consuming fire ,a jealous God'. Psalm 104.4 and Hebs1.7 'He makes His angels spirits and his servants flames of fire'. Zechariah 2.5 'The Lord will be a wall of fire surrounding Jerusalem and the Glory within.' We were doing in the spirit what The Gunpowder Plot had tried to do in the natural but we were doing it in the spiritual realm for God to bring Our Government and Nation back to Him. As we walked in silence it was so strong and felt strangely LOUD. Many people joined us silently waiting in anticipation. We had no hecklers or opposition. It was a privilege to be involved in what felt a powerful and significant walk of faith 'walking for and in the freedom Yeshua paid with His life for us'. Praise His Holy Name. |
