Deception, Vengeance, Rest, Betrayal and Victory

‎Family, He won by His blood and we overcame by His blood and our testimony.

Revelations 12:10-12(NLT)

10 Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, "It has come at last- salvation and power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth- the one who accuses them before our God day and night.

11 And they defeated him by the blood of the lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

‎12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down in great anger, knowing that he has little time."

‎Let's pray:

‎Father we thank you for your word, speak to us, nourish us, transform us, fill us and satisfy us with more hunger for you, thank you Father, Amen.

‎Let's break bread:

‎In the book of Judges 14 & 15, you'll see a sequence of events, from Deception to Vengeance to Rest to Betrayal and Victory. Today's message is a call to be alert! A call to be alert.

‎In the midst of deception and theft, God gives us victory and vengeance over our enemies. (difficult problems, low self-esteem, confusion, doubt, rejection, forgetfulness, blindness, sickness, whatever you are facing).

‎Pus he has restored a double portion of everything including the value of what we missed out on.

‎Then we move to rest which is, His covering, safety, rejuvenation, nourishment, His intimate teachings, guides and revelation.

‎We are given a reminder, a repossession, a realignment and knowing of our salvation, power, the Kingdom we belong and are called to build. Of which, we are it, and the authority of Christ is given, to speak in His name and by His name, we trample upon serpants, scorpions, depression, anxiety and unhealthy opinions or labels of others.

There is a path we can trace to see where we are headed, I want you to pay close attention and follow; side note identify where you are and track from there:

‎•Judges 14:12-20:

‎"Deception", you see a play of lies to gather information to be used against you and a theft. This happens when your mind is unstable and your emotions are on a roll. You don't realise when something is taken, it can be your peace of mind, your joy and laughter, your dreams and plans (example this new year plans) this leads to misalignment.

‎Judges 15:1-7:

‎"Vengeance", but before this, there is a "Realisation" that something has been taken and on our part, comes a pursuit of restoration. A partnership with God to move in His Victory, Salvation, Power and Authority.

Plus Dominion, Kingdom Inheritance and Realignment. If you lost the hope to start the business or develop the app or software, you are realigned back to focus, because that is part of your inheritance to be a creator, an architect, a builder like your Heavenly Father, a restoration of energy or passion.

‎I pray for anyone feeling depleted, weak, tired, about to give up, in the Name of Jesus, receive strength, power, passion and renewed focus plus a change of perspective.

‎•Judges 15:7:

‎"Rest", You receive rest, Samson rested in a rock, the Lord gives you rest when you're tired. It's not a weakness but an opportunity to be taken care of.

‎•Judges 15:9-13:

‎"Betrayal", from people close to you, they'll pull you out of your resting place, ready to be on the opposing side and you may wonder why. In verse 11 you see it's because of their own fears plus insecurities.

‎In our present day, it's the fight against change, a need to keep everyone in the same negative cycle or narrative, so when you break the rules choking you, get ready for some betrayal but don't be afraid, for the coming one will be with you and rescue you. You will go through them unscathed.

‎•Judges 15:14-20:

‎"Victory ", the Lord gives victory with the most unlikely weapon, and quench our thirst even after the victory. Always remember to give thanks and honour the One who gave you victory, He gave you the strength, wisdom, strategy to win. Take ownership of your victory.

‎Deception, Vengeance, Rest, Betrayal, Victory, where are you at now and identify the strategy needed, if you don't know, have peace, the Lord keepeth you and He wouldn't slumber or sleep.

‎He is your soft landing place.

‎Father we receive your word, we are honoured and grateful, help us to remember, help us hear your voice in the storm and let us feel your peace in our rest, Amen.

‎Do you want to know Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and the One who rides on the storm, His love is here for you, I want you to receive it, say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen!

‎Have peace! He is with you always! He loves you!
