PROPHETIC IMPRESSIONS:


THE WASP:

You know, I used to be afraid of wasps. Used to be. No more. Real recently I was fasting and praying and the LORD impressed upon me that sometimes when I had a leading to do something for the good, or for the Kingdom, I would back away from it instead, and I would then start to grow weary of the wait or the fight or worse yet, that I would, at times, fall into fear - what man would do to me, what might happen if I do this or that, or if I did this, then how would I do that? Sometimes when God wants to get our attention on a matter, He'll use ANYTHING to do it.

So while I was at work, I was pondering on what the LORD had just said about this when I turned around to start doing my work. Well, about two feet away from me there was this big old mean looking wasp that was just sitting there on my work, and he was staring at me with those big old ugly wasp eyes. (so I'm female, okay?) Well, I just stood there, real still, because I didn't want to rattle that thing and get stung. THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!

So as I was standing there, I was also wondering how it was that I was supposed to get my work done with that big old wasp in my way. I was at a stall in my work, because as long as that wasp was in my way, it was HINDERING ME from getting the job done. Then I heard the LORD say to me, "Just as that wasp is a hindrance to your work in the natural, your tendency to worry too much about what people would think or do hinders MY WORK that I want to get done THROUGH YOU!! Make your choice as to what you need to do."

As I am very familiar with Spiritual Warfare, I knew all too well what the LORD was speaking of. I know that when we are in a battle, if we choose to look at the circumstances instead of what God says in His Word, that ultimately we will end up like Peter did when he took his eyes off of the LORD when the LORD commanded him to walk to Him on the water, and he ended up starting to sink instead, because he chose to look at his circumstances around him instead of keeping his eyes fixed on JESUS, like we are told to do.

Too many times we may choose to back away from something because we are afraid that it might 'rattle' the devil and get him mad enough to go after us. Well, guess what? We're already a target anyhow just because we're Christians, so what's the difference if we do it or not? So I thought to myself, "I've GOT to keep my eyes fixed on JESUS!".

And so… I looked again at that wasp, only now I had NO FEAR of that thing. I thought of that wasp as if he was my enemy (okay, bear with me here). So this wasp is still sitting on my work, only now it's looking at me, rubbing his little antenna together, as though to say, "Come on, I DARE YOU!" So I thought about how many times the devil would try to intimidate me into backing off of doing something that I felt and KNEW to be right.

So right then and there, I decided that I’ve had enough. "NO MORE!" I yelled at that wasp, and took some of the surrounding material from where that wasp was sitting, and snatched it up over that wasp and threw it on the ground. Boy, did that EVER make that thing MAD!!! That wasp then tried to get past all the stuff I threw down, and I then stomped my foot on it and said, "Just like I CRUSH the head of the serpent UNDER MY FEET, I also crush YOU, and the FEAR OF WASPS!"

I lifted my foot, only to discover to my horror that the wasp wasn't dead, and it was wriggling around, trying to rear it's head up for a fight. Again I crushed it under my foot, and it still would not die. Then finally the third time, it died. Then I heard the LORD speak to me again. He said, "Just as you had to face the fear of wasps and put that fear UNDER YOUR FEET WHERE IT BELONGS, so is it with the fight against the enemy. Those times when you feel weary of the wait or the fight and the devil tempts you to give up, you MUST REMEMBER that the devil is ALREADY UNDER YOUR FEET. Just as the wasp tried to rear its head for battle, you need to STAY FIRM IN YOUR FAITH and as Satan tries to rear his head to discourage you time and again, KEEP ON CRUSHING THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT UNDER YOUR FEET until whatever you are battling against BOWS TO MY NAME, and you have the victory."

I thought about that, and knew that the LORD was right. A lot of times when we are waiting for something to happen, and it doesn't happen when we think that it should, we get discouraged, and feel like giving up in defeat. Church, I want to encourage you, that when the going gets tough, the tough need to GET JESUS!!!!!

I want to encourage you that no matter what it is that you are waiting for, no matter what miracle, whether it's financial, emotional, spiritual, or physical, we need to STAY FIRM IN OUR FAITH IN THE LORD THAT THE VICTORY IS OURS, and when we persevere and wait on GOD, ALL things will work together for the good!!!!

REMEMBER....The head of the enemy IS ALREADY CRUSHED under our feet because JESUS defeated every circumstance in our lives when He went to the cross!! No matter HOW BAD IT LOOKS, also REMEMBER THIS.....Look how bad it got for JESUS....they beat Him, spit at Him, whipped Him, mocked Him, false witnesses rose up against Him to cause Him trouble, then they nailed Him to the cross, MURDERED HIM!!!!! HE WAS DEAD!!! It cannot get ANY WORSE THAN THAT!!!

But wait........LOOK AT THE OUTCOME!!!!!! He ROSE FROM THE DEAD!!!! Our GOD DEFEATED DEATH, the WORST OF THE WORST CIRCUMSTANCES!!!! HE had the FINAL SAY!!! HE GOT THE VICTORY OVER THE ENEMY!!!!!

If you are having a hard time seeing the victory in your circumstance, think about this!!!! Think about the FINAL OUTCOME because Jesus went to the cross!!!! The victory REALLY is yours!!!! Claim it!!!!
