B2. Cry Havoc!
“Cry havoc! And let slip the angels of war” (from Edward de Vere – paraphrased). And now you know that which is restraining until it is unveiled in its season. For the mystery of lawlessness is already energeoing, only until the present restraining might become out of the midst (2 Thessalonians 2:6 – Paul’s actual words.)
Every translator adds their own “interpretation” to Paul’s words, yet not as sons of God in this critical hour. Here is what I am presently hearing. “And now you know that which is restrained until it is loosed in its season. For the mystery of lawlessness is energeoing, but only until now, as what has been restrained comes roaring out of the fog.”
Cry havoc! And let LOOSE the angels of war.
The Breath of His Mouth. Here is what happens next. – And then lawlessness will be unveiled which the Lord Jesus will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and will render inoperative by His presence made visible and known. – False leaders have taught God’s people that this is a “bad” thing, something they want to stay away from. We pray for them, that they might teach God’s people the TRUTH, that Jesus alone removes all that is false from them. The “breath of His mouth” is a Pure Spirit Word.
What does it mean to “cry havoc.” Even though Edward de Vere put those words into the mouth of a Roman general, they are utterly Anglo-Saxon. Anglo-Saxons were generally a mild people, but when led by Norman commanders, they became hellions, that is, the most ruthless killers on earth.
Take Possession. The word “havoc” means “give the signal to pillage,” which, according to etymonline.com might actually come from Latin, “to have,” that is, to take possession, in this case, of the spoils of victory. The cost to Jesus of winning the Church back to the Father is beyond all comprehension, two thousand years of living as her in the midst of all unbelief and refusal. Jesus has suffered long, as the Father suffers long. Yet the prize is a glorious Church.
Consider the war into which the angels are released. This is a war to TAKE POSSESSION of that which has already been won, though at great cost. This is a war to take possession of the minds of those thousands of Christian leaders who must speak that Victory into millions of Christians.
With Violence. I watched an episode of Poirot recently in which a nun explained that, when Jesus said, “Go out and compel them to come in,” that word “compel” actually means “with violence.” Then she interpreted that “violence” as being outward and human, that torturing people to submit to the pope was the very Love of God in action.
We accept the violence, but our war is in the heavens, against spiritual darkness, the very darkness in which God’s people have been held captive by false leaders. Michael and his angels do the dirty work, but we are the ones who seize possession of a Church for whom all Cost has already been suffered, that she might be free. We do so by the Song of the Lamb.
Set Loose. In this lesson, however, we want to set loose the angels of war, that they might wreak their havoc inside the heavens surrounding all Christians alive today, that not one demon might be left standing inside the Church.
Understand this. When we pray that God would seize for Himself the minds of thousands of Christian ministries, we are not violating them. You see, we are speaking only of those who already, in some way personal to themselves, are weeping over the Church. That weeping comes out from a decision already made inside their hearts, inside the ongoing interaction with God of each one, a decision for the Lord Jesus Christ to prevail. God, out from our prayer, is sealing them into their own surrender to Jesus and for all their brethren.
Let’s Pray Together. “God, our Father, we dwell only inside of You, inside Your Heart; we see only out from Your eyes. Father, we accept the authority You have given to Jesus, the One who dwells inside of us and is our only Life. We give ourselves to You, Oh Father, and the authority we possess as Your sons, that You might have an open Door into our world and into Your Church.
“Come through, Oh God, and show Yourself mighty in all that You speak, that every Gospel Word might be fulfilled in Your Church, right here and now, Jesus faithful and True. God, our Father, we know that You have already responded to us and that Your outstretched Arm is right now sweeping through Your Church, bringing Salvation back to You.
Unleash the Angels of War. “Father, our eyes are fixed upon Your Church, one hundred million or more believers in Jesus all across the earth, that she be clothed with the glory and purity of Christ Jesus. Father, we speak specifically inside the Authority of Jesus, that You are right now sealing the minds of tens of thousands of Christian leaders, the firstfruits of the Lamb, all who weep for the sake of Your Church.
“Inside of the name of Jesus, we unleash the angels of war, that Michael would prevail in the minds of thousands of pastors all over the earth, shepherds of Your flock, that every demon of accusation and refusal would be cast down. Inside of the name of Jesus, we speak a Pure Gospel Word of Christ our only life into the knowing of each one.
The True Lamb of God. “Inside of Jesus, we release Michael to cast down the demon of the super ‘Christ,’ the above-you ‘Jesus,’ from the minds of each one of the firstfruits of Christ. We cast down every accusation of a ‘Christ’ who expects performance and condemns failure. We remove from the minds of each the image of the false ‘cross’ that hacks at the ‘flesh’ and keeps God’s people out.
“In the place of this horrific image of an incomplete salvation, we write upon their minds, even as You write upon their hearts with us, Oh God, the name of the True Lamb of God, the One who carries all, from the least to the greatest, inside Himself, inside His Heart, all the Way into Life.
“Be SEALED into Jesus who comes into union with you FIRST.
The Entrance of Thanksgiving. “Out from Jesus, our Life, we release the angels of war to cast contempt out from the hearts of every pastor or priest who weeps over the Church. By the authority of God, you will hurt no one ever again out from a second ‘death,’ out from unthankfulness, out from hating the way God made humans weak for His glory.
“Instead, we inscribe the mark of Thanksgiving on those who weep, even as You plant it’s rough seed, Father, full grown inside their hearts. Let the doors of each one be flung wide-open for Your entrance, Oh God, that they might synergeo with You, inside Your Devoted Spirit without limit, making all things GOOD.
“Be sealed into God who reveals Himself in power entering His creation through your human weakness.
By the Precious Blood. “Out from Jesus, we cry, ‘Havoc,’ and we let slip the angels of war that they might CAST OUT from Your ministry, oh God, all wicked limitation of the Atonement of Jesus, all shadow of buying and selling His Redemption. Let all insult of the precious Blood that bought them become loathsome to them, in fierce abandon into Your Reckoning.
“We mark the minds of each with Blood, that they might sing only the Song of the Lamb, in full assurance of faith, with no consciousness of any separation from God. Let the seeing of their eyes and the judgment of their brethren be only through Blood, only through the greatest Value of Love ever given.
“BE SEALED inside of ‘and we also.’ Be sealed inside the same giving of Love. BE, as you are, just like Jesus.
Our Lives in Return. “Inside the name of Jesus, we release Michael and his mighty angels to cast down the demons who whisper the false gospel of ‘death’ in the ‘theology’ of all who cry for the Church. ‘Go to’ heaven is no more. ‘Judgment someday’ bites the dust. Today is the Day of Salvation. Today, we give the account of our lives in return.
“God our Father, write the WORDS that are Jesus upon the hearts of each of Your firstfruits even as we write His name upon their foreheads. Let the testimony of Christ be the only account that they give, the only story that they speak. Let Life inside of them swallow up all, Life returning to Life. All things are now God.
“Be sealed into God who ALONE is your Salvation now.
Receive Jesus and Turn Around. “By the authority of Jesus, we send the angels of war to root out every sniveling DEMON of unbelief, muttering about ‘what God said,’ from the minds of all ministries who weep. Let God be True in all that He speaks and every man a liar. Let all blockage of knowing Jesus as He is be gone.
“You who love Jesus and who cry for His people, ask Him to be inside of you all Word fulfilled. You are filled with all the fulness of God; rivers of Spirit flow out from you. Receive and believe every Gospel Word, for God is surely telling you the Truth. And refuse every other voice, even if it’s ‘Christian.’
“We speak to all who minister Christ. You dwell already inside of God and His throne. Turn around, TURN AROUND, turn around, and BE the Salvation of God into your world.
Clothe the Church with Jesus!!! “Out from all authority in heaven and earth, we cry, ‘Havoc.’ Be released you angels of war, even as you remove every false and demonic judgment from the eyes of all ministries of Christ that they might see their congregation as she is, the very face of Jesus to them. And we say to each of them, ‘Clothe every person whom God has brought into your life with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Fire has never been wrath, for goodness sake. The Fire is LOVE. The Fire is the purity of Jesus.’
“Humble yourselves before your congregation and towards one another. Give your very souls to the Father, even unto death, for her sake, for she is worthy of your love. See the Church alive today enclothed with Jesus and give your lives for her sake, inside of His Name.
Let All Accusation Be Silent. “By the authority of Christ in us, we impart overwhelming strength to Michael, that he might bind Satan and cast the accuser out from the firstfruits of Christ alive today. – Be gone, for your strength has departed. We bind every voice and every ‘point of theology’ that accuses God of knowing evil, or that places God’s creation into the tree of death. We silence all accusation against God.
“In its place, we write, ‘Peace,’ and we speak good Grace, that God shares every moment of your life with you. Acknowledge Him. Call Him to be Good and True in every circumstance.
“Father, let us be the healing of Your Heart; let us be Your pain removed. Father, You are welcome here, inside Your creation. Be freely the Goodness that You are.
In All Confidence. “God, our Father, we contend with you eye to Eye and forehead to Forehead. You have spoken Your Word into Your Church; let that Word prevail, for we will not let You rest until You make Jerusalem a praise and a glory throughout the whole earth. Father, our eyes and our hearts are inside of Yours, for we are fixed, with Jesus, on the JOY set before us, millions of believers in Jesus loving one another with pure hearts fervently right here on this earth, right now in this age.
“We rest in all confidence, Oh God, that Your mighty angels are now engaged with fury, that the demons are giving way, that the knowledge of Jesus as He is shines brightly upon Your Church, that Jesus is Faithful and True. In Jesus’ name.”
Our Faces Are Fixed. As I completed writing this prayer, through much walking back and forth, I saw how substantial these “seven pathways of power” really are, that it has been indeed the Spirit of God who has given us an understanding. Indeed, these are the “seven hills” on which the false woman sits. These are the “hills” we take back for God at the cost of our own lives, that His Power might be known in the Church.
The entirety of John’s vision is one word, the Apocalypse, the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and it is a love story so great, so deep, a real “fantasy” from which “legends” will be told for ages to come. Our faces are fixed on the Church and on the “post-Apocalyptic” world of abundance and peace now being birthed out from her belly.
