Fall Push 2019: Sing a Little Louder

Sing a Little Louder....In the presence of my Enemies

Sing a Little Louder....Louder than the Unbelief 

Sing a Little Louder...My weapon is a melody 

Sing a Little Louder...Heaven comes to fight for me! - Raise a Hallelujah, Bethel Music

If you ain't heard by now, then friends I am not Confused.

I established that in my last blog post but I didn't realize how NOT confused I was.

Jesus said that The Thief comes to Steal, Kill, and Destroy but he came so that we would have abundant life.  If that is true (and I believe it is), then I believe that the thief uses human beings and relationships to distract, sabotage, and manipulate people so that their lives are stolen from them.

The enemy certainly wants to do it when it is going to advance the Kingdom and bear fruit.

We war not against flesh and blood

12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly  -places. - Ephesians 6:12

I started seeing this scripture everywhere and I began to understand something.  I have been very focused on the humans in this situation but while they are the conduit, it's not them that I am fighting.  It's the demonic influences and evil spirits.

I will admit this is hard to separate because every time I see the people, I get so angry.  It got so bad that I ended up leaving an event early.

I've had my suspicions of what kind of spirit this that I am dealing with, so I decided to get a book so I could know how to pray against it.

Oh.My.God. 

Game Changer

I was reading this book and just like that video I watched a few weeks ago, I started saying:  "Yes.  That happened.  That too.  That's exactly how it is!!  Oh my goodness. Wow."   

It got to the point that I've had to stop a few times because my head is spinning.

Friends, I am not confused and that confusion has come up off me....just like the prophetic words at the All Nations conference said it would.   

I've even started to cry while reading and reflecting on some of the conversations I've had and when I ask why I'm crying it's because I'm so angry at what the enemy is doing to people.  He's robbing them of their lives!!

This statement almost made me throw my Kindle across the room.

"Satan always attempts to COUNTERFEIT the work of God"  - Steve Sampson

He most certainly does.  

In this blog post from several months ago I talk about how I kept hearing that word and decided to study it. 

This statement along with this so many other scenarios this author said confirms everything I have suspected and been all worked up about.

Confusion is gone.  In its place: Clarity, wisdom, and the spirit of God fighting on my behalf.

A call to Repentance

Now of course I am reading this book to know how to pray against these evil spirits and do spiritual warfare but while I was reading I've also had to stop because I see myself in what's being described.  

I knew it was time for me to repent when I was squirming while reading.  I wanted any part of these evil spirits broken off of me and I found myself repenting and confessing my own sins like Pride, Trying to control everything, and manipulating.

I even shared all this repenting I was doing while on the Prayer Perimeter.  I truly believe when we confess our faults to one another we are healed and the Devil can't use shame to keep us in bondage.

Sing a Little Louder... This is How I Fight my Battles

I have been called to lead worship and I believe my area specifically is deliverance and breaking free.  Because of this, I believe I have to live it out first and my first assignment was to "Sing a Little Louder" and fight the battle that way.

When the Lord said the strategy was to "Sing a Little Louder," at first I thought: "What is that gonna do" but then I remembered the word of the Lord from 2 Chronicles 20.

 He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 

16 Tomorrow, march out against them. You will find them coming up through the ascent of Ziz at the end of the valley that opens into the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 But you will not even need to fight. 

Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!”

22 At the very moment they began to sing and give praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves. 

24 So when the army of Judah arrived at the lookout point in the wilderness, all they saw were dead bodies lying on the ground as far as they could see. Not a single one of the enemy had escaped.

I do it in my car on my own and in my own worship time and then of course at the corporate meeting of the saints.  The last Few Sundays during worship the Lord has been giving me downloads.

• It is So
• (Satan) You're going down 

And then one Sunday Morning the Lord instructed me that we were going to sing to the dry bones because Freedom was in the Atmosphere.

Well the worship leader got to singing Travis Greene's song: "You made a Way".  I proceeded to turn around and go to work.  Eyes closed, tears streaming, and singing to those dry bones believing Freedom and victory were coming to breathe new life into them.

You caused walls to fall

You caused chains to break

Don't know how you did it but you made a way.

I wasn't alone because the group that had assembled up front to worship was GOING IN.

Not my Normal M.O.

Singing and not taking action is not my Normal way of handling things.  As we all know I have been wanting to say my peace for a while now but nope..that's not how we're doing things.

I'm not to say anything but sing a little louder....

It's a good thing too because the enemy is starting to turn up the heat.  I figured he would because we're getting closer to victory. 

I believe that as the enemy gets closer to going down in defeat, that he would use those he has sent to throw things off course to really start turning up the heat.  He's really going to start stirring it up in the natural but I am expecting it.

I can't do anything but pray and keep singing....Louder and Louder you're gonna hear my praises roar.

The atmosphere has shifted.

This isn't my battle to fight.  It's the Lord's and We'll Raise a Hallelujah at the End.
