Grab a Hold of the Horns of the Altar — Help is on the Way!
The LORD says, “Grab a hold of the *Horns of The Altar. Refuse to be intimidated any longer by your enemy! Greater AM I — in you!”
*Horns of the altar: “The horns of the altar in Jerusalem had provided a refuge for fugitives. Those who caught hold of the horns of the altar were granted asylum.” (see 1 Kings 1:50-53) (see also Exodus 30:1-10) (gotquestions.org)
The Father says, “I AM breaking you out of false identities; releasing you from the grip of addictions, and piercing the darkness with the Light of My Truth!”
In Him is Life, and the Life is the Light of men.
“And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it).” John 1:4-5 AMPC.
“Shout, My child! Shout the Victory! Prophesy: “Captives set free!””
Joy went before me
This was a lively morning filled with Divine Joy as I was worshipping with The LORD and interceding on behalf of dear people and their precious ones caught and trapped by the enemy.
I could feel a Divine Hope surge within me, and anticipation for great good rising up in my spirit.
I was absolutely overwhelmed with Joy as I rose up in faith magnifying The LORD Jesus in worship, and exalting Him above every other!
In my Vision screen I could see beautiful swirling of colors and light before me! Oh how I just wanted to leap right up into His presence and be carried away.
Afterwards I took Communion, allowing His presence to continue to permeate both my soul and spirit… It was such a beautiful transcendent encounter!
A text message came in shortly after I had finished this Worship and Communion time.
It was one of my dear “encounter people” from half a continent away! He proceeded to tell me the vision that he saw of me this very morning.
In a vision, he saw me in this great joy before The LORD with swirling colors of the Spirit around me.
I was able to get a message back to him shortly afterwards to share that this indeed was the actual encounter that I had been enjoying with The LORD this very morning!
Aslan is on the move!
He is declaring: “Divine Glory and destinies fulfilled for His Children…
Beloved ones, take His hand, as He invites us to come into the *Divine dance of Joy! ”
*This divine dance is called “the perichoresis” where we are intertwined in the Eternal dance of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Plant the “Faith-flag” of victory Beloved ones!
Don’t be fearful, doubting The LORD’s ability and willingness to step in on your behalf…
He is always working, never sleeping… He does some of His finest work in the darkest of nights!
Rise up in Faith and Believe!
Lift up your heart and Receive!
Jesus has already gone ahead of us to break us through and release us from every confinement of the enemy! Take hold of His promises — today!
“The Breaker [the Messiah] will go up before them. They will break through, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, The LORD at their head.” Micah 2:13 AMPC.
“THE SPIRIT of The LORD God is upon me, because The LORD has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of The LORD [the year of His favor]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn..” Isaiah 61:1-2.
Standing in expectant and certain Hope!
For the precious ones standing in the gap in prayer on behalf of those held in the cruel grip of the enemy:
The LORD says, “These are the things I will do, I will do. I will not forsake you.
Hold fast in believing dear one… Bring a sacrifice of Praise before The Throne.”
“Those who bring an offering of praise and thanksgiving honor and glorify Me; and those who order their way aright [prepare the way that I may show], to them I will demonstrate the salvation of God.” Psalms 50:23 AMPC personalized.
“May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.” Romans 15:13 AMPC.
Raise a Hallelujah!
Raise a Hallelujah and let it break open the Heavenlies.
“Prophesy your victory!”
In Jesus Name, Amen!
O Magnify The LORD with me
Prayer and Verse
“I WILL bless The LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My life makes its boast in The LORD; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.
O magnify The LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.
I sought (inquired of) The LORD and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused.
This poor man cried, and The LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The Angel of The LORD encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers.
O taste and see that The LORD [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.
O fear The LORD, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.” (Psalms 34:1-9 AMPC)

Dear Shelley,
This offering meets me where I’m at this day. I sincerely appreciate your words of encouragement to those who are struggling. I lost my Son to chemical addictions 2 years ago. We were very close and I was his advocate to press in, be healed and become whole. He was so gifted, beautiful and special. Of course a parent would say that, but if you knew David you would be impacted. I’ve been a spirit filled Believer for 52 years.An authentic Jesus Person who’s believing the best is yet to come. My spiritual birthday is 2/22. I welcome your prayers, and I’m grateful to be connected to your ministry.

Oh my heart is SO with you dear Tom….I have tears…I can feel this so deeply.
Thank you for sharing! I feel that I may understand a bit of the heart pain, as I lost my older brother to addictions a little over 4 years ago….My heart so ached for that precious life. ….BUT OUR FATHER!
He is so loving and merciful and kind! He does miracles of love far beyond what we could ever comprehend in our finite minds….Your David is with Him now…clear and unclouded on the Crystal sea of glass…
I am lifting you up to His firm strong embrace, praying that you will be able to let Jesus carry all of your griefs and sorrow away…Thank you Holy Spirit that you are ministering the love of Father and the comfort and light of the Lord Jesus Christ to Tom’s heart even now. He comes! dear Tom…He always comes… ps. 2:22 is also a very special number to me: a “witness between heaven and earth”.
Every blessing
Miss Shelley, your posts have been most timely and relevant and so encouraging.
This post encourages me to hope against hope. I found out that idiom is from Romans ch 4.
Yes, He will do the seemingly impossible! I’m raising the flag of faith.
Dear Ruth, I can feel/see you taking ground in the spirit and planting that flag of faith…despite what the enemy is throwing your way. I speak (Romans 12:21) over you! Underneath there is an indomitable flame of the Holy Spirit that cannot be overcome! Rise up dear one, like an edifice, higher and higher, building yourself up on your most Holy Faith! (see Jude vs 20,21)
Blessings!
