WALK at LIBERTY

     God knows I am basically lazy about reading his Word and He gives me assignments so I will seek Him. On 3/27/07 I had a dream where God instructed me to paint a picture of an Eagle, with a “Vav” in the upper left hand side of the picture, and put it on a brown t-shirt.

      I began researching the meanings of the symbols in the dream, looked for verses with a “Vav”, and asked the Holy Spirit what he wanted me to learn from the dream.

     I pondered over the verse in Isaiah 22:23 “I will fasten him as a peg (Vav)  in a secure place and he will become a glorious throne to his father's house.” According to the DAKE Reference Bible it was the custom to build certain pegs into the house, to hang things on, unlike temporary nails in plastered walls which can fall out in time, these were very permanent. On such pegs trophies, shields, swords, gold and silver vessels, changes of raiment, and other valuable things were hung.

     Although I knew this verse was somehow relevant, I also understood God wanted me to dig deeper. I came upon Psalm 119 which is acrostic in nature, each of its 221 sections begins with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This Psalm is all about the Almighty’s law and the blessings that flow from obedience. Verses 41 through 48 are under “Vav”, the 6^th letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

So shall I keep Your law continually,

forever and ever, and

I WILL WALK at LIBERTY

for I seek Your precepts.

I will speak of Your testimonies

also before kings,

And will not be ashamed.

Psalm 119:44-46

A precept is a rule of moral conduct. God wants us to act morally, in holiness, and with love and truth. God's word is the perfect Law of Liberty.

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:25

“ The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.” Psalm 19:8

“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes, execute My precepts, and keep all My commandments to walk in them, then I will fulfill to you My promises which I made to David your father.” 1 Kings 6:12

However, we have personal responsibility as seen in Deuteronomy 28:8-9:

The Lord will command the blessings on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.“Uprightness and right standing with God (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) elevate a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34

Proverbs 16:10-15 The Message (MSG):

10 A good leader motivates,
    doesn’t mislead, doesn’t exploit.

11 God cares about honesty in the workplace;
    your business is his business.

12 Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds;
    sound leadership has a moral foundation.

13 Good leaders cultivate honest speech;
    they love advisors who tell them the truth.

14 An intemperate leader wreaks havoc in lives;
    you’re smart to stay clear of someone like that.

15 Good-tempered leaders invigorate lives;
    they’re like spring rain and sunshine.

Several weeks ago I heard God say in my spirit “I will give you power to tread on serpents.” Shortly thereafter I was cleaning our pond with a net. I scooped it up and as I turned the net over I put my hand on the bottom of the net, realizing quickly that I also was holding a copperhead snake.

Thank goodness my husband, Mark, was there. I didn't get hurt, but I didn't stop screaming for 15 minutes. God never said our walk would be void of danger, but he would be with us. He wants us to know we have authority over the enemy who comes to kill, steal and destroy us. 

As I consider the upcoming election my heart is heavy for our nation. America was founded on Christian values. Our forefathers knew the proven truth that only a society following God's precepts can be truly blessed. In George Washington's Inaugural address of 1789 he said:

    "Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained..."

Following is a prophecy from Bob Jones entitled “VOTE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, August 2012."

Recently Bob audibly heard the Father say, “The church determines which way this nation is going. If the church does nothing, we do nothing. But if the church does something; we do everything!”

Bob believes that if the church doesn’t wake up and vote then the Lord will do nothing. The church will go to sleep and some may never wake up. The Lord has given the church all authority. If the church doesn’t begin to exercise its authority then its power becomes invalid and the enemy will have his way instead of the church.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19

Our free will is involved in this matter and it determines which way this nation is going. The dedicated Christians must get up and vote! Christians have the say and the Lord will agree with them because He has given them all authority.

You will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you, and you will pay your vows. You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways. (Job 22:27-28)

If we don’t speak out against unrighteousness then injustice will reign. By doing nothing, we actually vote for unrighteousness. We need to do something! We need to exercise our constitutional rights and vote in this election. Clearly the choice is ours!

A mesmerizing spirit plagued this nation during the last election and many people fell prey to it. This same spirit rested on Hitler and enabled him to control Germany, which led to its demise. That same mesmerizing spirit remains active this day in America controlling the mainline media along with many eligible voters. Many people in this nation are still spellbound by this charismatic lying spirit that prevents them from hearing the truth even though their lives have been crippled by its effects.

Christians have the Spirit of God living within them. It’s time they step up to the ballot box and exercise their authority to make a change in this nation. It’s our God given right and protected by the constitution, which is now in danger of being eliminated.

It’s time that the redeemed of the Lord say so! (Psalm 107:2) It’s time that the church awakens from her slumber and voids the plan of the enemy. Our nation is in a state of moral decay and only the church can make a difference by standing up for God righteousness. This nation is at a critical turning point and the righteous must express their kingdom authority.

Righteous women are now rising up to put their heel on the head of the serpent that’s trying to destroy the family. They are women with family values that will make a difference in this election. These women are like Jael that drove the tent peg into the head of Sisera.(Judges 4:21) I believe women are tired of their children being fed the filth of the world and lured by the lies of enemy. Family values and morality have been blown to the wind and these women are moving to the forefront and taking a righteous stand.

The Lord announces the word,and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng (Psalm 68:11 NIV)

We as Americans must come into agreement with God and desire His will. I believe Proverbs 6:16-19 describes God’s heart for this nation.

These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood, (abortion)
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

God has given the church all authority and the pattern to follow. Let us turn from wickedness and do good. http://www.bobjones.org/Docs/Words%20of%202012/2012-08_VoteForRighteousness.htm 

Patricia King recently called the church to come together and pray for our country, “If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from Heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

The people of America cannot put their trust in a politician or a political party. We must pray for God's intervention for it is “in God we Trust”...The Lord will reveal to you how to cast your vote. Cast it in faith. There are moral issues on the political table. There are issues concerning alliances with Israel that need careful consideration. God's values are clear. Stand with His values.

I believe the interrpretaion of the dream is as follows:
 

The eagle represents the prophetic ministry.  God is speaking to us through dreams and visions. 

The Vav, which is the hook between Heaven and Earth, represents Jesus who is interceding for us in Heaven.  I also believe God is calling women to take a righteous stand for our families and nation (tent peg "Vav") which was used by Jael to kill the enemy. We are to put our foot on the enemy's head.

Brown is symbolic of compassion, the earth, and is a pastorial color. God's messengers are speaking the law of truth and turning many away from iniquity. (Malachi 2:6-7)
 

God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause Your face to shine upon America, that Your way may be known on earth, and Your salvation among all nations. http://www.chavdaministries.org/ 40 DAYS TO SAVE AMERICA
