Not that I don’t want to recognize the seasons. Not that I don’t want to preach on other things However, the current moment could be one of the most important moments in history.

Many see this as a hinge of the historical period. The shifting of this season is significant. God has raised up the Ekklesia for such a time as this. We are called to walk in a divine partnership with Fathers will during this season

Satan has been stealing our nation and we have sat idly by.

Satan has been sneaking into our nation and we have not paid attention. The Enemy is stealing our schools, students, and government. The pastor may be the shepherd of the local church, but the Christian is the Shepherd of the nation. Now Father is raising up a lion church, a lion revival. We’ve had a lamb revival, now a lion revival. The Sons of the Kingdom are rising and they will take their stand with the Lord.

5781 is a year of signs and wonders like Father did in delivering the children of Israel out of Egypt. Remember Egypt was a story of deliverance.  Pharaoh was rebuked over and over again.  The delay in victory over Pharaoh was to show the power of God and to expose every false god in Egypt. 

In the plagues and the divine delay, God was judging the gods of Egypt.

So it is in this day, that God is working to accomplish a global deliverance. He is inviting us to be His partners. Partners who persevere through this season, who don’t grow weary, and who aren’t moved by what they see. Remember the Hebrew calendar and the declarations found in the meaning of the new year that started September 18.

80 is the Pey – this is a decade of PEY – the mouth. 1 is the Aleph. The letter “Aleph” or number 1 in pictograph looks like an ox Hebrew Letter Aleph - Pictographand it represents the strength and power of God. It’s only in God we can find strength and power to do things. Last year was about the mouth, but this year the Lord is adding His strength. This will enable us to do His will. God’s words and His strength and power are coming together. 

In 5781 God is showing His strength, His outstretched arm to deliver His people. In 5781 you will be strengthened. Moses had the sign of strength and you will have the sign of God’s strength this year. Moses took the burden to free people from the oppressor.

RESET

Number 1 or letter Aleph represents new, the new beginning. 

5781 is the beginning of something new, 1 is a reset. The reset is divinely connected to the deliverance that He will accomplish during this season.  He is exposing the works of the enemy. This is part of the divine deliverance. Exposure, in order to renounce the things that cause shame.  For this reason we need to persevere.  We are called to a steadfast hope, and to exert pressure upon the demonic realm until we see the breakthrough. 

Often we are exhorted to resist the enemy. Confront, cast and overthrow the enemy.

   Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith…”

I Peter 5:8-9

The word used for cast in the NIV is drive.  To “drive” out demons is a common phrase in the NIV.  There is a reason that the NIV has used the word drive instead of cast as the King James, because the very word Ekballo in the Greek infers drive. Cast in the KJV is the word Ekballo in the Greek.

The KJV translates Strong’s G1544 in the following manner:

Outline of Biblical Usage

I.to cast out, drive out, to send out

  • with notion of violence
    • With implication of force overcoming opposite force
    • to cause a thing to move straight on its intended goal
    • to reject with contempt, to cast off or away
  • without the notion of violence
    • to draw out, extract, one thing inserted in another
    • to bring out of, to draw or bring forth
    • to except, to leave out, i.e. not receive
    • to lead one forth or away somewhere with a force which he cannot resist

The picture of “drive” and “cast” is to apply pressure until a victory is seen.  Therefore, we persevere, we engage, and continue until the intended goal is accomplished.

When comes to understanding the need for deliverance  —  By the fruit you know the root.

“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.”

Matthew 12:33-35

Therefore wherever, in culture, we see betrayal, treachery, false accusation, deception or any such evil, we know demons are working. In the ministry of deliverance we partner with God’s judgment on evil and drive it out of our nation, out of our institutions, out of government and education. 

Keep the pressure on!
