Victory Anointing
12/20/05
Today the Lord reviewed my change of attitude with me, from sourness and guilt, to faith. I had started yesterday in a snit of anger at circumstances I could not control, and ended that day in His praises. The same happened today, and I had to repent of loving the rewards of getting my way at the cost of His nature. As He commended me for standing on the faithfulness of His nature, He spoke the following;

“There is nothing which means more to me than hearing the praises of My warriors who have fought the battle and won. People praise Me every day for the things I give them, and for the everyday goodness of life itself; it’s beauty, it’s sweetness, it’s kindness . . . But there is something more that comes from the heart who has fought by faith and won. There is a faith that moves My heart, it moves My hand, it moves My total Being to want to stand with that one in the throne of God.

Man has often thought that I fight all his battles for him, only to find out sadly, and with much bitterness, that there is a part he plays. But those who rise up above their bitterness and stand on the faithfulness of their God, even though they are disappointed in their part, have a sweet incense that rises up to Me. It smells like My son Jesus.

Every man, woman or child who reminds Me of My son’s sacrifice gladdens My heart in a time of terrible wickedness and darkness on the earth. These are the sweet incenses that rise with the prayers of the saints and cause thunder and lightening to hit the earth. For there has been no time of battle as there is now, since the time of Man began.

I will show you what it means that Michael rises up to fight for the saints of God. There is a special anointing coming upon the earth for victory. I have seen My saints lose, I’ve seen them oppressed, I’ve seen them stopped, I’ve seen them put to death, I’ve seen them barred from ministry even though they were faithful. In every test known to Man I have seen . . . and yet those who stand on My faithfulness and praise Me, even after their battles, long and hard, and the weariness sets in . . . they send up a sweet aroma to Me that I cannot help but embrace them and move all heaven and earth on their behalf.
Satan has told many that it is a test of their God, that He puts them in this place and then abandons them. But it is not so. I wouldn’t have judged David for causing Uriah to be abandoned if I Myself were guilty of abandoning My saints. For so it is written “I will never leave you or forsake you”, and this is true. Each one of you are appointed to battles. Often you find yourself alone; this is not because your God has left your side. For your God is mighty and awesome and walks beside you with His angels. And for those times when you were alone, perhaps there was a saint or two that was appointed to be by your side . . . forgive them for the weakness of Man, and stand on the strength of your God. I have not forsaken you. Saith the Lord.”
