Release The Warrior Anointing of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is stirring me today with this prophetic insight:

‘It’s time to release the ‘roar’ of the Lord that is inside of you, towards the opposition that has been coming against you.’

Don’t wait until tomorrow, or next year to contend for what God is giving to you now. Don’t wait for the tide of circumstances to turn.

Let the Holy Spirit rise up within you, breathe, speak, and stir you into action. Let Him do through you whatever it takes, to pursue the prize of what your Father has promised you.

‘You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.’ (Psalm 65:11)

The Dove is a Warrior

When the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus at His baptism, He descended in the form of a dove. [1] This was not a statement concerning the gentleness of the Spirit’s personality. Look at what happened next:

The ‘dove’ thrust Jesus out into the wilderness to face hardship and to confront the enemy.

‘Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.’ (Mark 1:12-13)

The Greek word translated ‘drove’ is ekballo. [2] It implies a compelling force and is the same verb used when Jesus cast out (ekballo) demons.

‘The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.’ (Ex 15:3)

The Holy Spirit is a Spirit of conquest and warfare. He is bold and fearless in confronting the works of darkness.

The Holy Spirit has the face of a Lover towards people, and the face of a Warrior towards sin, sickness and demons.

It is time to give full expression to the Person of the Holy Spirit as both Lover and Warrior. Love seeks the conquest of the Kingdom and the rule of the Father’s desire.

‘…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)

Do You Find Yourself in the Midst of Conflict?

On a storm front, two different densities of air collide, creating turbulence.

Inevitably, your stand for the Kingdom of God has taken you into that space of collision. You may find yourself and your loved ones in a zone of conflict, shift and change.

You face a choice—contend for the ground that God has given to you through His Word of promise, or hold back. Don’t allow fear or hesitancy to prevent you from stepping up in the power of the Holy Spirit.

It is time to press through and fight for families, marriages, churches, communities and nations.

Don’t settle for less than what Jesus has paid for. Don’t put up with less than what Your Father has appointed for you. It is time to stand upon both His written Word of Scripture and His personal, prophetic ‘now’ word to you.

Healing, Deliverance and Miracles.

I believe God is speaking to those of you who desire to see a greater measure of healing, deliverance and miracles. As you look at Who Jesus is, you see reflected in Him your own DNA and destiny:

‘For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.’ (1 John 3:3b NKJV)

Your passionate desire to see the works of God, and the power of God, leads you back to the Person of Jesus. He is saying, ‘There is more to Me, that you are yet to encounter.’

Hunger for God’s power inevitably draws us in pursuit of His Person. And He is both Lover and Warrior.

There may also be a revelation of Jesus that you have had in the past that the Holy Spirit is putting His finger on. That experience of Him needs to be refreshed. You discover again that He is Saviour, Healer, Redeemer, Deliverer, King, and Lion of the Tribe of Judah. (Rev 5:5)

‘It’s time to release the ‘roar’ of the Lord that is inside of you, towards the opposition that has been coming against you.’

Notes:

[1] The Scriptural symbol of the dove speaks of the pure, meek nature of Jesus and of His anointing for sacrifice. Ref note on Matt 3:16 in HAYFORD, J W, Ed. The Spirit-Filled Life Bible.  1991.  Nashville: Thomas Nelson. Lev 12:6, 14:22. (Noah’s dove in Gen 8:11 is used in our culture today as a symbol of peace. We must not confuse the two).

[2] Strongs reference G1544
