SUPER PHYSICAL ASSAULT WEAPONS – SPAWs:

Introduction:

Humanity’s effort to create something outside the will of God started at the tower of Shinar/Babel (Gen. 11:1–9).

When you see a man/woman who has no covenant relationship with God either by birth or ignorance and decides to embark on the journey of life by his/her own efforts and personal resources such a person will not last.

As a Christian, if you want to build your career, business, family or any project for that matter to last, seek God’s consent and stamp of authority at all times. God’s signature and consent on a matter guarantee lasting success and assurance of fulfilment of purpose. If you see a flourishing project outside the will of God, it is just a matter of time before it falls like a pack of cards. Temporary setbacks will not be an issue for you as a Christian if you understand the dynamics of the Kingdom.

BABYLON/ASSYRIA CONCEPT

The word Babylon typifies human’s effort and will to be its own savior. It is an amplification of that phenomenon for a man to take all the glory for all inventions and discovery while neglecting the importance of the God factor in the execution of such project. This is evident today with men who neglect God and turn themselves to demigods that God has not created them to be.

There were two major superpowers after Egypt that operated in the lives of the Israelites when they entered into the promised land. Coming out of Egypt typified the deliverance of God’s children from slavery – life of sin. This typifies being born again and the salvation experience. Assyria and Babylon were superpowers that reigned for so many years. God defeated Assyria and then Babylon arose. God raised them to punish His people whenever they misbehaved or went against His commandments because He has the powers to lift up and pull down.

Isaiah already prophesied about Assyria (Isa 38:6), and in the fulness of time, they were defeated as God predicted.

Isa 14:24-27

Assyria Destroyed

24           The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying,

“Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,

And as I have purposed, so it shall stand:

25           That I will break the Assyrian in my land,

And on my mountains tread him underfoot.

Then his yoke shall be removed from them,

And his burden removed from their shoulders.

26           This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,

And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

27           For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it?

His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?”

Similarly, for Babylon; the enemy can only do so much to the children of God for as long as God allows them to – When God’s mandate is fulfilled they were released from bondage.

Jer 29:1-14 – The interaction between King Hezekiah, the prophet and God’s benevolence of elongating his life with 15 years formed the background for this story. His actions when he was supposed to show off his God who delivered him from death is the reason why his future children turned to Eunuchs and were carried away into captivity. Prophet Jeremiah lived in the reality of this prophecy and scenario that happened many scores of years earlier. The first thing the enemy does to the life of a Christian is to kill your prayer life and ability to study the Bible in order to disarm you and render you weaponless when he comes to attack. Don’t lose your weapon.

When you are in the center of the will God, hold your weapon in one hand as you go about your business. If the enemy dances close to your territory you will be able to chop off his head effortlessly.

10 For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.

God caused them to be carried away to a strange land according to His word and promise. Sometimes the challenges we are in are orchestrated by the Lord and until his purpose is achieved, there can be no turn around. If you are transferred from a juicy department in your office to “Sahara desert” pray for the peace of your new place. Prosperity is not in a place but in a person if you are a carrier of God on your inside. Never organize a “pity party” for yourself or be diminished. Fulfill purpose and destiny because that is where God wants you at that particular time. Get there and make the new department flourish Just believe Him, he is a God of performance – Luke 1:45

 

8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. 9 For they PROPHESY FALSELY TO YOU IN MY NAME; I HAVE NOT SENT THEM, says the LORD

There are specific words relevant to your situation at any given time. If you are in a wrong place or under a wrong umbrella of covering you will be fed with false hope that can make your hope faint. If you are under the right covering as designed by God for you – the trials and temptations will be easier to bear and perseverance will be an easier task. Many have had such false hopes which have been dashed and some have left the kingdom and gone afar off, but through your own lifestyle the backsliders will return in Jesus Name.

PRAYER

May God help you to develop your hearing aids in Jesus name

• May you be in the right company of prophets, hearing the right word at the right time relevant to your destiny in Jesus Name. This is important so that you will not be deceived or have false hope.
• Every false prophet in the land that is causing God’s people to trust in a lie – May they die without a trace. In 2019, an end has come to the reign of deceit and falsehood in Nigeria in Jesus Mighty Name.

 

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

When the time comes for the deliverance of God’s people nothing will stop it. At the end of the stipulated time, God delivered them. God asked them to fulfill His purpose. Afflictions are for a moment when they have achieved God’s purpose, deliverance usually comes.

PRAYER

• The lord God will come against every form of Assyrian and Babylonian invasion of your family life in Jesus Name.
• The Lord will break every Assyrian invasion of your marriage and family life. He will tread every Assyrian occupying your family mountain underfoot.
• Every Assyrian yoke shall be removed from off your neck, and their burdens removed from your shoulders in Jesus name.

SUPER PHYSICAL ASSAULT WEAPONS – SPAWs:

1. MILITARY INVASION/TERRORISTS/ARMED LOOTERS – “BOKO HARAM” (SPAW 101) – Isa 13:15-16

15           Everyone who is found will be thrust through,

And everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.

16           Their children also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;

Their houses will be plundered

And their wives ravished.

Nothing happens by accident. God is a dangerous God and can use all sorts of weapons in His armoury including terrorist attacks to defeat the enemy, don’t be against God, be on His side.

To plunder means to steal or rob objects by force, usually in the context of a military engagement, implying complete victory over an enemy or foe. While to ravish means to aggressively have illicit sexual intercourse with a woman pledged to another.

HIRED ASSASSINS – “THE SPIRIT OF MEDES” –Isa 13:17-18, 2 Chr 32:20-23 (2 Kings 19:35-37) SPAW 202

17           “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them,

Who will not regard silver;

And as for gold, they will not delight in it.

18           Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces,

And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb;

Their eye will not spare children.

God deployed this weapon on King Hezekiah’s behalf when he saved him from the the king of Assyria and all others in 2 Chr 32:20-23. God orchestrated hired assassin to fulfill His mission.

CONSUMING FIRE – Heb 12:29, SPAW 203

Isa 30:27,30-31

Judgment on Assyria

27           Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,

Burning with his anger,

And his burden is heavy;

His lips are full of indignation,

And his tongue like a devouring fire.

The Lord is a consuming fire that bites off all oppositions on its way.

STRAY/RANDOM BULLETS – King of Israel: 1 King 22:34-38 KING AHAB in 1Kings 21:19 SPAW 204

 THUNDERS, LIGHTNINGS – 1 Sam 7:10, 1 Sam 2:10, 2 Sam 22:14-20, Ps 144:5-8, 2 Sam 22:14-20 – SPAW 205

1 Sam 2:10

10           The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces;

From heaven he will thunder against them.

The lord will judge the ends of the earth.

“He will give strength to His king,

And exalt the horn of His anointed.”

When the right hand of falsehood is stretched out to you, allow God who discerns the heart of all men to fight your battles with thunder and lightning or any other type of weapon on your behalf.

HAILSTONES – Josh 10:1-15, 2 Sam 22:14-20

 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT FOR GOD TO ACTIVATE THESE WEAPONS TO WORK FOR YOU – 1 Sam 7:1-14

 There must be a yearning in your heart for the Lord – Psalm 34:18, Ps 51:17, Matt 5:3.

You must be ready to put away all the foreign gods and idols in your heart – Money, position, Power, Women, Jewelry, Clothes etc.

There must genuine repentance must be borne out of godly sorrow from your heart.

2 Cor 7: 10 NLT for the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which LACKS REPENTANCE, RESULTS IN SPIRITUAL DEATH. 11 Just see what this godly sorrow produced in you! Such earnestness, such concern to clear yourselves, such indignation, such alarm, such longing to see me, such zeal, and such a readiness to punish wrong. You showed that you have done everything necessary to make things right.

Prepare your heart for the Lord in regular prayer and fasting – break off the fallow ground of your heart.

Begin to serve God and Him alone.

God by himself will then activate his super lethal silent weapons SLSWs & SPAWs as He deems fit to ensure your deliverance from the hand of your enemies.

BLESSINGS OF BEING IN ALLIGNMENT WITH GOD

1. The enemies will be subdued and return no more
2. There will be restorations on all sides
3. There will be total recovery of lost territories
4. You will have peace roundabout – between spouses, in-laws etc.

SPECIAL PRAYERS – WAR AGAINST FAMILY WARS:

 Introduction:

When a family is united hardly can they be easily defeated. No external aggression can easily penetrate them and no devil can have his way. They will not be easily vulnerable to any form of satanic manipulation and they will be able to resist all the wiles of the enemy. The only crack will then be if there is an internal enemy that gives the family away or a confusion in the language being spoken. Thus we shall be praying against two major phenomenon:

 DIS-UNITY – LACK OF CONGRUENCY OF THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS!!

Consider the following family equation on unity from Ecc 9:8-10

➔ RiL = (RwG + WoH) ^RcS

• Where RiL – Results in Life, RwG – Relationship with God
• WoH – Work of your hands, RcS – Relationship with Spouse

The determinant of YOUR LOT (YOUR PORTION) in life and in your toilsome labour under the sun is YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SPOUSE!!

1. If the devil can MAKE IT TOXIC, he has OVERPOWERED YOU ALREADY!! IF he can POLUTE it, the devil has NEUTRALIZED YOU already.
2. Similarly, God Himself asserts that if you allow that relationship to be toxic, YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE HINDERED, the HEAVENS WILL BE SHUT AGAINST YOU – 1 Pet 3:7.
3. Instead, how should you treat your spouse? 1 Pet 3:7
   1. Be considerate
   2. Treat them with respect & honor

• They are heirs with you of the graces of life

Prayers – 1 Cor 1:10-12

• Let’s pray against disunity and hypocrisy of any form in our families – between spouses and your future spouses for those not yet married; church families – companies, fellowships; business partnerships etc.

RETROGRESSION – TAKING 2 STEPS FORWARD AND 20 STEPS BACKWARD – 2 Kings 20:1-11

1. Hezekiah gained 15 years of additional life, but eternal misery for his future generations yet unborn – 170 years later; as it manifested in the lives of Daniel, Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego and other children taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
2. Why? He refused to hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord His God – God had said, “Put your house in order for you will die and not live”. He prayed that God should remember the works of his hands in the past years, but what of in the days ahead?

Prayers:

1. Pray that as God blesses you, you will remain humble before the Lord and in your own eyes
2. Pray that you will not trust in your own prowess or worldly goods and achievements, but your faith will continually be in God!

• Pray for yourself, that you will always live a life of order – 1 Cor 14:40
  • You will put in order your business life
  • You will put in order your family life
  • You will put in order your relationships
  • Such that in all of these areas of your life God and the pursuit of His Kingdom will be number one above all else and every other aspect of your life will revolve around Him
