Davids of the Hour



Davids of the Hour

by Hilly


"Thus says the Lord,

I am raising up my Davids in this hour. I have been preparing them, steadying them, rooting them in Me.

They are like steel. No, they are like titanium. They will not only use the slingshot effectively, but these that I am raising up, will also cut off the heads of Goliath in the Land. Sharply and decisively. They are indestructible, unaware of the fray around them.

They do what they are supposed to do. What they have been born to do.

Nothing can stop them. Many consider them violent.

They care not what people think of them.

They only do what their Father asks them to do.

They are fearless.

They are lightning rods in the hand of the Lord.

They are a prized possession.

They cannot be stopped.

They devour all that is in their path.

Woe to those that try and oppose them.

Those that oppose them are annihilated without mercy.

They are hated with the most perfect hatred.

They are hated for their single-minded devotion to the Lord.

But they are steadfast. They are not moved.

Who can withstand their assault? They trample upon their enemies.

They are successful in all they have been called to do.

They are given the Spirit without limits. Who can stand before them? Who can oppose them?

They are victorious and mighty.

They have been prepared for the hour at hand.

They are deadly in their accuracy.

Tremble in the presence of the Holy ones. Tremble in the presence of the Lord.

Does not His word come to pass as it is written?

All that has been written will come to pass.

Look and see the Holy ones who stand on the mountain of the Lord.

They are coming. The Davids of the hour"

THE DEATH OF ABU MUSAB AL-ZARQAWI



THE DEATH OF ABU MUSAB AL-ZARQAWI

Dreams from the LORD 2003-2006
14 June 2006

Exactly a week ago (7 June 2006) the al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike. Thank God, he’s dead. The interesting thing is that the Holy Ghost was burning me up for at least two days before I heard that al-Zarqawi died (I heard about his death on Thursday). I told Jeremy on Wednesday night that something big was going to happen because I was burning up in the Holy Ghost. The same thing happened just before Saddam Hussein was captured—the Holy Ghost was on me very powerfully the day and night before I heard about his capture.

I don’t know if all intercessors go through what I go through, but I do believe when the Holy Ghost is burning me up like that, a principality or power of darkness is taken out. The anointing breaks the yoke of sin; the anointing breaks the yoke of oppression.

It is nice to know that the United States has such powerful secret weapons in its arsenal: Holy Ghost intercessors; Holy Ghost warriors.

I do believe that the power of the Holy Ghost causes great confusion in the enemy’s camp. About two or so months ago, I was at the shelter in Riverton and there was this guy staying there who just got out of prison. He didn’t like me very much and started to become very loud and obnoxious towards me. All of a sudden, the Holy Ghost came on me very strong, so I went for a walk. I came back to the shelter and that guy’s attitude totally changed—he was confused and convicted of sin. The next morning, he was very nice to me and talked to me in a very civilized manner. I later learned that he had spent seven years in prison for aggravated assault, so the guy has some violent demons in him.

I believe the power of the Holy Ghost is getting stronger and stronger in intercessors everywhere. We will see more and more victories over sin and wicked men. The fortresses of Satan will fall and crumble because of the Holy Ghost Fire.

I was listening to an interview with John “Shrek” McPhee. He was a Delta Operator that fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was in the U.S. Army from around 1991 to 2011.

When they were hunting Saddam Hussein, they found out that Saddam’s inner circle were Christians. I think it was because Saddam could trust the Christians.

Warfare: The Sign of Life



This is from the blog A Word in Season:

“I have fought the good fight…”
2 Timothy 4:7


The surest sign of the life of God within His own is the unconquerable will to fight the fight of faith. Life is always the antagonist of death. Faith is the adversary of sin. Victory over sin and iniquity is the result of warfare; warfare of the life of Christ Himself. When a heart ceases to fight it ceases to live.

“Fight the good fight of the faith…”
1 Timothy 6:12


We live in a day where “faith” is presented as a legal declaration of victory (regardless of the life lived) rather than the means by which we attain the victory. Paul was ever encouraging the people of God to remain active in the battle, to be diligent in their walk and to grow in the victory of the faith. The writer of the beauty and the power of all the truths in the Book of Romans also wrote this to Timothy… “fight the good fight of faith”! Compromise and concession are the harbingers of spiritual defeat and death. Life by its very nature opposes death and the scriptures declare that the “wages of sin is death”. The life of Christ within withstands evil in all of its deceptive and destructive forms.

The fight of faith is not won in a moment, nor is the crown easily earned, but we have been given the great gift of faith, the blood of Christ and the grace of God to stand in this evil day! It requires a walk of learning, growth and development in the school of His Spirit.

“Blessed be the Lord my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war,
and my fingers to fight…”
Psalm 144:1


Faint not at the battles which assail you; do not lose heart in the intensity of the conflict for we have this promise from God:

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you,
and keep you from evil”
2 Thessalonians 3:3

“The Christian life, then, is a battle,
so sharp and full of danger
that effort can nowhere be relaxed without loss”

England and America, A Dream



This is from the blog My Dreams and Visions:

I had a very short dream/night vision. In this dream/vision, I saw Boris Johnson and Donald Trump standing shoulder to shoulder. In their right hands were drawn swords and in their left hands were shields.

Melania Trump had White House Exorcised

This is from Fellowship of the Minds:

The Left had a cow when, a year ago on February 18, 2017, Melania Trump recited The Lord’s Prayer at a rally of 9,000 people at Orlando-Melbourne Airport, Florida, on February 18, 2017.



The Left are sure to go into another meltdown when they learn that Melania Trump had the White House exorcised before moving in.

Paul Begley is the pastor of the Community Gospel Baptist Church in Knox, Indiana. In a CNSNews audio recording (below), Begley said:
“When the President [Trump] allowed 40 pastors to come into the White House and . . . lay their hands on him –seven times he’s done this– that’s unheard of, we have never. I mean the guy has got flaws, we all do. But at least he’s humble in recognizing that he needs God enough that he keeps bringing them in for prayer. I gotta say this: It might have started with the First Lady [Melania], I’d be honest with you.”
“The First Lady, in the five hours when the Obamas and the Trumps were down in the Capitol and Trump’s being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, Melania Trump said to her husband, ‘I’m not going to go into that White House unless it has been completely exorcised.’  
I mean because apparently, over the eight years that the Obamas were there and maybe even some of the presidents before him, there were all kinds of idol gods and images, and all kinds of artifacts in there that were demonic, even some of the stuff left over from the Clinton era ’cause they were really tied in with the Haitians. I can tell you if you read The Serpent and The Rainbow story, you’ll find out just how much Haitian witch-doctor influence was in Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton’s lives. They constantly went back there. They spent their honeymoon with a witch doctor! Who does that?”

Note: Begley is referring to Wade Davis’ book, The Serpent and The Rainbow: A Harvard Scientist’s Astonishing Journey into the Secret Societies of Haitian Voodoo, Zombis, and Magic. See also:


“But Melania said, ‘You gotta get all that all of there. And send in some preachers, priests (she wanted priests, anyone), go in there and cleanse the White House or I would not spend one night in there.’ 
And he [Donald Trump] did! During the five hours when they were changing carpets and drapes, there were people in there packing up every item. The only thing left was one cross on one wall. They cleansed the White House. They had people anointing it with oil, praying everywhere. 
This was a major spiritual . . . you’ve got to take the seat of authority when you go into spiritual warfare, you start with the spiritual authority and then it goes from there out. And I think that might have been where the whole thing began — in a mighty way of exorcising the demons.”

The Eagle's Fighting Tactic



This is from the blog Making It Glad:

Eagles are one of my favourite birds. Besides being so majestic, they mate for life, build one nest that lasts forever and they face storms head on rather than hiding from them. The most interesting trait is how they fight their enemy. Their biggest enemy is a snake, but eagles never stand for their attacks. They never fight the snake on the ground – they either pick it up and shake it to death or fly high and drop it onto rocks below.

By doing this, the eagle changes the battleground. As a result, the snake has no stable ground or stamina and is therefore weak and useless to fight back effectively.

God tells us to take note of “the way of the eagle in the air” (Proverbs 30:19), because Satan first appeared to people in the form of a snake. This snake works tirelessly to actively ruin our life-and that includes our thought life!

We change our battle ground when we take our thoughts captive and pray- it is then that God can step in and take over. Don’t ever fight Satan, and the thoughts he throws at you about your health, in his comfort zone. Claim the battle field.  Lift yourselves up by praying and then throw the enemy and his lies onto the Rock- which is Jesus:

“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 Saviour, You save me from violence.” ~ 2 Samuel 22:2-3

Remember, we have been given authority to trample over serpents and scorpions in Jesus’ name (Luke 10:19). Snakes never survive a rock encounter! So there is never a need to ever entertain hypochondriacal thoughts- you throw it onto the Rock by fighting back with the promises of Scripture.

The Manchurian Candidate (1962)



This afternoon I watched The Manchurian Candidate for the third time.  The first two times, I watched the last half of the film and today I was able to watch the first half of the film.  So now I have watched The Manchurian Candidate in its entirety.

The Manchurian Candidate is intriguing.  The film is about these U.S. soldiers who were captured by Russian and Chinese Communists during the Korean War.  They were brainwashed and then sent back to the United States after the war.  One soldier, Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw was brainwashed to assassinate certain people in the film.

For most people, The Manchurian Candidate is about brainwashing and assassination.  This film is also an excellent study on the Jezebel and Ahab personalities.

I Kings 16: 29-33:  "And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.   And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.   And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.   And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.   And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him."

Raymond Shaw's mother, Mrs. Eleanor Iselin is a domineering (Jezebel) woman, while his step-father, Senator John Yerkes Iselin, is considered a bumbling idiot (Ahab).  Mrs. Iselin is well able to control and manipulate her son and husband:  she triggers Raymond Shaw to kill; she maliciously steers and influences Senator Iselin's political career.




I Kings 21: 7-14:  "And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.   So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.   And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:  And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.   And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.   They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.   And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.   Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead."

Another film that reminds me of The Manchurian Candidate is The Bourne Supremacy (2004).  There is a scene in The Bourne Supremacy where the guy from the CIA says, "His mind is broken.  We broke it."  Before someone can be controlled and manipulated by someone else, their mind/personality needs to be broken down through physical and emotional abuse or psychological torture.  In familial relationships, a Jezebel personality, who is abusive and domineering, can control a passive, Ahab personality.

People who are possessed/oppressed by a Jezebel or Ahab demon are under a curse. This curse can be broken through a relationship with Jesus Christ, deliverance and obedience to the Lord.

D-Day, 2017: British and American Christianity



Dreams from the LORD 2011-2017
13 January 2017
Last night I had two dreams.
In the first dream, I was an officer in the British Army.  I was dressed in a uniform that the British wore in World War I.  There were all of these British soldiers lined up in a straight line and marching past me.  As they marched past me, I would hold out my fist and each soldier would bump his fist with my fist. Every time one of the soldiers gave me a fist-bump, I would say, "Go."  It looked like we were preparing for an invasion---something like D-Day in 1944.
In the second dream, I was with this elite American group of fighters.  It looked like we were Navy SEALs, Delta Force or mercenaries.  We were dressed in black and had black camouflage paint on our faces.  Someone handed us our weapons; I was given a submachine gun.  We were getting ready to go on some night operation.
This dream is about intercession/spiritual warfare.  I believe this dream means that the Lord is mobilizing British and American Christians to invade and destroy certain aspects of Satan's kingdom/world system.  With Great Britain leaving the European Union (Brexit) and the United States voting Donald Trump into the White House in 2016, we are now ready to destroy Satanic strongholds like Globalization (Global Elites), ISIS, abortion, homosexuality (the left-wing anti-family agenda), the United Nations (which is pro-Islam and anti-Israel) enviro-paganism (the lies of climate change/global warming), Marxist ideology and other strongholds.  
The official date of this invasion may be 20 January 2017 when Donald Trump becomes the 45th President of the United States.  The British and American Christians have been fighting/praying/preparing for years for such a time as this.  This dream is not just about British and American Christians, because Christians all over the world are fighting/praying against the strategies of Satan (the gates of hell). This dream was very positive:  there will be many victories in the future for those who follow Jesus Christ.  
Isaiah 54: 17:  "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

PROPHETIC DREAM: ASSASSINATION OF KIM CLEMENT

Kim Clement, 1956-2016

This is from the blog Behold the Man Ministries:
Greetings,
On September 5, 2015, I had a prophetic dream about Kim Clement that deeply troubled my spirit. Several days later, I read news online about how he suffered blood on the brain and was in critical condition at the hospital. Because I do not know Kim Clement personally or any of his associates, I reached out to several leaders in the body of Christ and shared what I had seen and heard because I was so disturbed. I have spent more than two months praying in silence for Kim and now after receiving news this week that he has been attacked again, I feel I must share publicly what God showed me several months ago. I want to be clear, my hope and desire in publishing this dream is to release clear strategy to intercessors that pray for Kim and also warn prophets that will face possible similar situations in the future.
The Dream
I walked into a large cave and as I turned the corner, there were four large principalities that were huddled together talking. They all wore different types of armor and did not notice my presence there as I stood behind a rock and watched them from around 100 feet away. As I listened to them, one of the principalities, who had “Iran and the Middle East” printed on its breast plate, stepped forward and said, “I want Kim Clement dead. He cannot keep prophesying about Iran and the Middle East.” The principalities began to laugh and it sent a chill up my spine that I don’t have words for. Immediately, that principality and 2 others left the cave.
There was one demonic principality that remained and it had, “Death” on its breastplate. As I focused my gaze toward it, it turned and looked at the cave wall behind its back. My eyes instantly fell on a list of names on the wall. Many of the names I did not recognize, but it was names of prophets specifically. One name I did recognize was John Paul Jackson. I said to the Lord in the dream,  "Did John Paul Jackson die before his time?" The Spirit said, “Yes“. I then said, “Where is Bob Jones' name on the wall?” The Spirit said to me, “Bob Jones did not die before his time.”
As the Holy Spirit spoke that to me, I immediately woke up in my room and it felt as if I was sitting in the presence of Jesus. I sat up in my bed and said, “Lord, are there really demonic principalities assigned to take out prophets?” He said, “Yes“. I then received an open vision of John Paul Jackson’s book, Needless Casualties of War.
The Spirit said to me, “This book must be read by all intercessors and prophets if they want to stay off the hit list. Kim has engaged in warfare in regards to Iran and the Middle East that I did not legislate and it must be renounced for the curse to be lifted.”
Based off of this prophetic dream and vision as I woke up, I believe Kim Clement has been attacked by a demonic principality responsible for Iran and the Middle East and we as intercessors need to renounce any warfare that Kim might have engaged in that was not legislated from Above so that he may fully recover and live.
May God continue to release understanding into the rules of engagement when it comes to addressing demonic principalities and may the prophets and intercessors of the Most High God fulfill His purposes in their generation. Saints, we must have more informed and strategic prayer in this hour.
Praying and standing with Kim,
Jeremiah Johnson

A Parable about Lukewarm, American Christianity


There was this man who was a great warrior.  He had been in many battles over the years.  His body had many scars from bullet wounds, bayonet thrusts and artillery barrages.  He was a sergeant in the army and he was 45 years old.

There was a platoon of soldiers dug in on some high ground---they were of the same army as the sergeant.  The average age of the soldiers in the platoon was 19 years old; they were led by a 24-year-old 2nd lieutenant.

Ten miles away was an enemy force of three thousand soldiers.  The sergeant placed himself between the platoon and the enemy.  Whenever the enemy sent their soldiers to attack the platoon, the sergeant killed them with his rifle.  This pattern continued for many weeks:  the enemy would send their soldiers to attack the platoon and the sergeant would kill them all.  The platoon was never touched, it was never in danger.  The sergeant was their hedge of protection against the enemy.

One day the sergeant walked to the platoon to see how they were doing.  The sergeant walked up to the 2nd lieutenant and told him about the many skirmishes he fought with the enemy, so as to protect the platoon.

The 2nd lieutenant looked at the sergeant in stunned disbelief. He didn't believe a word the sergeant said and began mocking him and ridiculing him. The 2nd lieutenant told the rest of the platoon what the sergeant had said and the whole platoon began laughing at the sergeant in derision.

The sergeant didn't say another word.  He shouldered his pack, his rifle and ammo and walked away from the platoon.  Fifty yards from where the platoon was dug in, he took off his boots and shook the dirt from his boots in plain sight of the platoon.  He put his boots back on and walked away.  The platoon never saw him again.

A week later, the enemy launched an attack on the platoon's position and killed all of the soldiers.

I Samuel 25: 14-17:  "But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.  But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:  They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.  Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him."

I Samuel 25:   "Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good. So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall."

Shiloh
By Tim Shey


Brutal deathdance;
My eyes weep blood.
Pharisees smile like vipers,
They laugh and mock their venom:
Blind snakes leading
The deaf and dumb multitude.


Where are my friends?
The landscape is dry and desolate.
They have stretched my shredded body
On this humiliating tree.


The hands that healed
And the feet that brought good news
They have pierced
With their fierce hatred.


The man-made whip
That opened up my back
Preaches from a proper pulpit.
They sit in comfort:
That vacant-eyed congregation.
The respected, demon-possessed reverend
Forks his tongue
Scratching itchy ears
While Cain bludgeons
Abel into silence.


My flesh in tattered pieces
Clots red and cold and sticks
To the rough-hewn timber
That props up my limp, vertical carcase
Between heaven and earth.
My life drips and puddles
Below my feet,
As I gaze down dizzily
On merciless eyes and dagger teeth.


The chapter-and-versed wolves
Jeer and taunt me.
Their sheepwool clothing
Is stained black with the furious violence
Of their heart of stone.
They worship me in lip service,
But I confess,
I never knew them
(Though they are my creation).


My tongue tastes like ashes:
It sticks to the roof of my mouth.
I am so thirsty.
This famine is too much for me.
The bulls of Bashan have bled me white.
Papa, into your hands
I commend my Spirit.

God's Protection in the Midst of Trouble

Dreams from the LORD 2011-2023

6 February 2023

Last night I had a dream where I was with this large crowd of people.  We were outside; there were some buildings in the immediate area.  I don’t know if it was some sort of big picnic or social gathering.  Then something happened–some calamity–and we were all herded into these buildings.  At first, I was a bit concerned:  I thought we were being forced into these buildings against our will (but it was really the Hand of God).  Then I discovered that everybody inside the buildings were Christians.

The wicked were outside the buildings; they became angry.  They would yell at us and bang on the door to try to get inside the building I was in.  The wicked would walk by the windows and yell obscenities and give us obscene gestures.  Someone even took a sledgehammer and tried to break the door down, but they were not able.  The door was just a simple, wooden door and the guy with the sledgehammer could not break it down.  Then this one guy from the outside opened the same door and walked inside and closed the door.  He smiled at us.  He was the last one to come inside our building.  He was a Christian, so he was able to open the door.  The wicked were not able to open the door.  We who were inside the building were being protected by the Lord.

This reminds me of Noah’s Ark.  After Noah and his sons completed the Ark, the Lord brought all the animals onto the Ark.  After the animals and Noah’s family were safely inside the Ark, the Lord closed the door.  After the Lord closed the door, no one from the outside could get inside the Ark.  A week later, the fountains of the deep were broken up and the firmament collapsed and fell as rain and destroyed all the living from the face of the earth (Genesis 7).

Isaiah 26:20:  “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”

Psalm 57:1:  “Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.”

Revelation 22:14-15:  "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers (PHARMAKOS), and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."

There is perfect protection in the Presence of God.
