“ALTER THE ALTAR AND BREAK THE CURSE”
This is a true story about a young man who altered his home, family business and his career by defying a demonic spirit and building a family altar.
He was a good man who loved God and worked hard, but every time his harvest was due, a demonic spirit of strife would come and rip off not only him but also his entire household. God actually SENT AN ANGEL to address this problem, by using frustration to drive the young man to prayer where he lodged his complaint. The Lord told the youth that God was with him and this man would change the nation with just a HANDFUL (a remnant) – rallying them “as one man!”
THIS MAY BE YOU!
This is the story of Gideon in Judges 6. His nation and family suffered severely 7 years because of idolatry toward Baal. He tore down a family Baal altar (his father's altar) and built IN ITS PLACE AN ALTAR TO THE LORD and sacrificed a bull on it. This started a cycle of deliverance in others.
“…the LORD said to him, “Take YOUR FATHER'S bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father…. and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold in an orderly manner, and take a second bull and offer it … (Judges 6:26)
The men of the city were mad. Manifesting a spirit when they saw the altar turned down. BUT this wasn't them – it was the dispossessed Baal spirit working thru them. The devil will attack you thru people when he is under attack thru your obedience. So…. “Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal…
WATCH HOW HIS FATHER IS NOW FREE!
“But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal, or will you deliver him? Whoever will plead for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has torn down his altar.”
Wow! Once Gideon tore down the family stronghold and built an altar in its place, the older living generation got delivered and actually DEFENDED the son.
This is FAMILY level strategic warfare – the most powerful and fundamental level of engagement.
WHAT WAS DISCOVERED in all this?
The blessing breakdown has nothing to do with you- but YOU are the one GOD ANOINTED to FIX IT! Where there is generational sin further back stream there is a stronghold set up further down stream. This stronghold authorizes a demon to come in thru cycles in the life of the family – and steal and destroy.
It will require someone to STOP IT! ONE member needs to rise up and do what SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE EARLIER, and break down the agreement established with hell.
SO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO YOU?
Don’t be surprised if you, the innocent, get drafted into the battle. Bear with me…..What if the sins of the Fathers has consequences hitting the sons of the Fathers? (daughters too) What if the Midians are familiar (or familial) spirits sent to enforce a curse in your house and you are the next target?
Sweet little you? YES!
What if theft or idolatry in the bloodline manifests in a cycle that seeks to rip you off? Could be a divorce or violence or poverty or whatever. And you didn't do anything to deserve it?!?! Why is this trying to get on you? It was supposed to be your harvest time!
Maybe God has a bigger harvest in mind.
AN OPPORTUNITY is getting SET UP for you. For years Gideon's household was getting ROBBED BY MIDIANS RIGHT AT THE TIME OF HARVEST!
But think about it. Gideon was the WRONG GUY to rip off. He became the champion who broke the cycle of iniquity and idolatry (an idol is anything loved more than obedience to God) and in the very place of the sins of the fathers, RIGHT THERE he built an altar and altered a nation. If he had been skipped over and protected from harm, that spirit would have seized the harvest of all his neighbors and continued to the next generation after. By touching Gideon – he became the deliver who cast it out.
TURN THE ATTACK INTO A PLACE OF BLESSING!
Gideon built the altar and made an offering out of one of the bulls…a part of the family business. In return the family was set free, the locals were set free and the nation was set free. The “Midianites” who kept stealing were driven back by a remnant – a small but powerful group who REFUSED TO THINK LIKE UNDERDOGS OR VICTIMS!
May each of us have the presence of mind to remember at the moment of the CONTRADICTION that God is not playing games with us. He is FOR US and if something shows up to rip you off in 2014, you have authority to REVERSE THE CURSE and ALTER that situation. Do so and you'll get an authority upgrade and an anointing to lead others at a whole new level.
Midnight Watch: PROPHETIC WORD!
“I SENSE the Lord saying, Surely I will be WITH YOU, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man! For there is a line drawn in time and you are stepping over the dividing of times in your generation. I bring you UP another level so that you can DRIVE OUT another level. That which laid claim upon your house and your inheritance in times past is about to be shattered. It will not get past you into the next generation for in meeting YOU it meets ME.”
“You are entering an hour when they that KNOW their God shall be STRONG and do exploits. It is not truth alone but the TRUTH YOU KNOW that sets you free! Therefore know that I AM FOR YOU. Do not believe every spirit but TEST the spirits, whether they be of God. I am with you for good and not bad. As you set yourselves in agreement with heaven the angelic hosts will surround you and all that pertains to Zion, even the HOUSE THE LORD BUILDS (including you and your house as well!). I am building my church for the Last Days. It is not an Ark or an exit but a dwelling place of living stones called together as a habitation of God in the earth. A Tabernacle of David where you can inquire of Me in the place of worship – and find Me.
“For I am giving you access to blueprints in your battle- songs in the night- revelation in the contradiction of your circumstance, even access to my counsel in the place of contention. You will build a “thin place” for intimacy with Me in this hour. For I am building MY Church, My ecclesia in the earth, and you will come together “as one man” – not as separate, but AS ONE, and the Lord shall MULTIPLY your strength beyond your size, and so shall you overcome and occupy the land I give to you. Even a land of giants.”
P.S. “Mideanites” – the Hebrew Root Word means
“brawling, contention and STRIFE.” The Mideanites create “strife” and discord.
But “the God of peace” has plans to crush Satan underfoot.
If you believe it – like it- and lets link As One!
Thank you for sharing a warfare plan using the Jewish Menorah; The Spirit of The Lord, The Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Understanding,The Spirit of Counsel, The Spirit of Might, The Spirit of Knowledge and The Spirit of The Fear of The Lord. Your Mind of Christ is God’s Supernatural thoughts. You Lance Wallnau show forth God’s Power and teach us to know how we are to produce lives that can not be shaken. Your words are right on.
Interesting, Lance, that it was announced today that archeologists have “officially” unearthed the Palace of David.
This is awesome Lance!
Man’s natural way is to do what is right in his own eyes,
invariably in direct violation of Yahweh’s specific guidelines… Here’s a whole
community that thumbed their noses at Yahweh’s blunt-and-to-the-point instruction
for their own protection- “Thou shalt have no other gods before me!”
Sin, in the form of idolatry is sitting pretty.
But O, the exquisite love of the One True God is lazered
toward his mark, the heart of a son who saw himself as ‘piggy-in-the-middle’!
No qualifications! But that Light pierced the generational darkness to bring
forth Israel’s rescue once more! The love he has for that horribly
short-of-the-mark tribe!
Marvelling at the
glory of his grace! I reckon I would have said, ‘Serve you right! Stew in your
own juice! You’ve made your bed, now lie in it!’
But HE said, “You’re it, son!” and unrolled that
plan, that blueprint for this most unlikely lad to read, to execute!
He has targeted many an unlikely lad through history, hasn’t
he? David? Moses? Peter? And now, a new wave of ‘unlikelies’ is being raised
up! Raised up once more to bring glory to Him!
It is no walk in the park! We stick out like a flaming
target… and the old enemy wants us to stay in the captivity of that death
cycle! After all generations of my clan have rebelled! And that Midianite-like
‘brawling, contention and strife’ is ever-ready to snip and snarl at those who
stand in the gap, defying and challenging the status quo of generational sin!
Intimidating stuff!
It is like He is saying to me, ‘In your youth you had no
idea you were a stirrer, but you were conceived with a wooden spoon in your
hand, my daughter! I sense He is saying… You are hearing me well! Be bold, my
daughter! I am with you to take a stand in your tribe, for haven’t I been
revealing my Truth? Sacred cows must be slain! Do not fear their bellowing in
their pain, in their death throes, for I will take that sound of death and
transform into a rousingly glorious joy-beat! You will re-tune it into My sweet
victory song. You shall take up that melody as did Deborah!
An awesome challenge seems to be out there…
It is ‘Be’, ‘Have’, ‘Do’ time for me… His word is clear…
‘Be’ present with me as my chosen one, daughter. As close as my heartbeat! Be wrapped in the
vibrant light of my truth.
‘Have’ my words ringing in your heart… Am I not your direction?
Am I not your protection? Hold firm to my strategic plans, the blueprint that
you have in your hand!
‘Do’! Do take up those weapons I have given to you! I have
given you words, my precious wordsmith! Speak! Write! Sing! Be my Poet Laureate
once more!
“That good work I have begun in you, I am faithful to complete!”
Great words. Taking in foster children with terrible generational bondage allowed me to stand in the gap and become a repairer of the breach. It was tough and the battle raged, but God brought change, freedom and deliverance to some of these young lives.
A now word for all believers! Thank you for this teaching
Wow Lance, Your best word ever.. Reminded me of when they sent troops to arrest Jesus and they came back saying,, We never met a man who spoke like that. Right on Bro.
thank you
Great word. Let us remember that; me/you plus God equals MAJORITY every time!
Just What I needed in this time and confirmation to what the Lord has been speaking to me
this is on point Lance I know what to do. Thank you
