The Lord has spoken for this time:
"The anointing of a warrior has been released to My people! Receive by faith! This is your time to take authority and cut off all those works of darkness that try to oppress you! This is your time to stand up to be who I have ordained you to be! This is your time to see your deliverance and victory, whatever attack or oppression you may be facing at the moment!"
Somebody shout "Hallelujah!" It is a warrior anointing that has been released upon you!
Judges 6:3-4 (NKJV) says, 'So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them. Then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey.'
Here, the power of the enemy that comes against you is symbolized by the Midianites who came against Israel at that time. Whenever Israel had sown, the enemy would wreak havoc.
Judges 6:5-6 (NKJV) says, 'For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; And they would enter the land to destroy it. So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.'
The locusts here can speak of the power of darkness that tries to devour and destroy God's people's works. And what happened to Israel? Israel was greatly impoverished. And that's when they cried out to the Lord.
Are you in a same situation as the Israelites those days, and you are faced with all those works of darkness or oppression coming against you? And you are saying "Enough is enough!"
Judges 6:7 (NKJV) says, 'And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites...'
Maybe you have been facing some challenges or the oppression by the enemy at the moment. It may be your health situation, your financial situation, your career situation, your ministry situation, your business situation, or your family problems. Whatever it may be, take heart. The Lord is with you. The Lord is giving you the anointing today to overcome!
I want to declare in Jesus' name that you shall see your deliverance and victory, even as you stand up, rise up, and receive the warrior anointing from the Lord today!
Judges 6:11-12 (NKJV) says, 'Now the Angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him (Gideon), and said to him, "The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!"'
Even as the people of God cried out to the Lord, the Lord answered. The same it is with you. The Lord is here to answer you. The Lord is not nowhere. The Lord is now here. See the word 'Now'? And the Lord is saying to you right now, "The Lord is with you, you mighty man (or woman) of valor!"
What is the word 'valor' here? This word is 'khahyil' in Hebrew. It speaks of 'bravery, strength, and efficiency, like a warrior'. So, when the anointing of the Lord has come upon you, you will have this valor! You will have this supernatural bravery, strength, wisdom, favor, and authority, like that of a warrior! Now remember you are not fighting flesh and blood. You are coming against the power of darkness, all those works or words of the enemy that come against you to try to oppress and destroy you.
How about the name 'Gideon'? 'Gideon' simply means 'Warrior, Feller, Destroyer'. 'Feller' as in to fell the work of the enemy. This word 'Gideon' comes from the Hebrew word 'Gada', meaning 'to cut off, to cut down, to break in pieces'.
So, people of God, when you receive the warrior anointing today, you have the authority to cut off, to cut down, and to break in pieces all those works or words of darkness that come against you!
So right now, take authority over the power of darkness that tries to oppress or destroy you, whatever your 'Midianite' situation may be. If you are one of those who have said "Enough is enough!" of all those 'bullying' by the enemy, then right now, receive the power to cut off, to cut down, and to break in pieces the power of the enemy that come against you! Hallelujah!
Do not miss this time and season. This is your time to receive the anointing and the new authority from the Lord! You will rise up to be who He wants you to be, and to be who He has ordained you to be!
Judges 6:14 (NKJV) says, 'Then the Lord turned to him (Gideon) and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?"'
Indeed, the Lord is sending you forth to fulfill all that He has purposed for you. So, go with this anointing today. Do not look back. Do not look at your past. Just look ahead. And you are going to see many greater days ahead of you!
The word 'sent' here is 'shalach' in Hebrew, and it can mean 'to appoint, to shoot forth, to set things forth, to stretch out hand'. It means the Lord's hand is upon your hand. The Lord's outstretched hand is mighty and powerful, and He works miracles, signs and wonders. And because His outstretched hand is with your hand, is there anything (or anyone) in this world that you should be afraid of? No!
So, fear not, because the Lord's hand is with you, and He is sending you forth, He is shooting you forth, and His anointing goes with you! He will set things in order for you, and He will set things forth for you! Because it is the Lord who has appointed you for such a time as this!
With this anointing, there was a change of identity for Gideon. The same it is for your life as well. You are never the same again. With this new identity, you have the new authority that comes from the Lord, and not from man. Walk therefore in this new authority that the Lord has given to you. And you'll be sure to see your deliverance and victory, just as Gideon did! Hallelujah!
