Overthrow
I do not consider myself a prophet, but there are times when I have moved prophetically, more so in dreams and sometimes in visions. But every now and then the Lord speaks to my heart about things that will happen. This has been going on and off since 2001. I did not have the liberty from the Lord to share them, but I do have the liberty to share what God has spoken to my heart yesterday and today.
Just a few moments ago I read a post on FB that my dear sister-in-law put up. It was a lengthy message, but it was all true. In summary, it is about how evil has invaded our nation, how upside down everything is. In short, it was basically about, what the Word of God says, "evil being called good, and good being called evil."
I reiterate, I read her post just a few minutes ago. The first word I received from the Lord was yesterday, and the second, which goes in line with the first word, I read today in Scripture while at the church I pastor, praying and setting the atmosphere for tomorrow's service.
Yesterday while I was praying and worshipping the Lord, He spoke to my heart and said this: "Look to Me, My people, look to Me. I will overthrow the wicked who think they can overthrow Me. I laugh at them and hold them in scorn. I AM the Lord God and there is none like Me. Look to Me and see what I will do. I will spare those who repent, but those who have the audacity to believe the will go on in their years thinking they can continue in their wickedness, they will be as Pharaoh and the Egyptians at the Red Sea, when the Red Sea came crashing down on them. I will spare this nation, but I will not spare the wicked. I AM the Lord of heavens armies and I AM about to unleash My army to overthrow and rout the wicked. It will happen. It will manifest in the time that I choose. Be patient, have faith and persevere. I have spoken and it will come to pass. You shall see it."
As mentioned, the second word I received was while I was to the church I pastor, praying and worshipping. The Lord led me to Daniel chapter four. I did not remember specifically what Daniel chapter four was about.
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was warned in a dream, which Daniel interpreted, that if he remained in pride and did not repent of his sin, he was going to be driven away from mankind and live like a wild animal until King Nebuchadnezzar recognized that the Most High God is the one Who rules. Daniel went on to warn King Nebuchadnezzar by saying, "Break away from your sins now by doing righteousness, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity."
Apparently, King Nebuchadnezzar dismissed the interpretation and the warning. One year later, he was on the roof of his palace saying, "Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?" As King Nebuchadnezzar spoke these things, a voice came from heaven that said, "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you..." and he was driven from mankind, and lived among the wild beasts for seven years.
At the end of the seven years, King Nebuchadnezzar lifted his eyes to heaven, and his reason returned to him. Needless to say, he blessed, "The Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever." He went on to say, "For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation."
I could not get myself to think it was a coincidence that I read this passage of Scripture from Daniel chapter four today, and yesterday I received what the Lord spoke to my heart. Who ever reads this, if you decide this is what the Lord is speaking, or if you do not believe it, I take no offence. Whatever you decide about this is and will be between you and God, not you and me. Love and God bless, Pastor Paul.
