The Horse with a New Name
I heard, “The Horse with a New Name. From a broken spirit to the Spirit of Freedom, from victim to Vindication!”
And I saw a horse that had its spirit broken through abuse. Jesus came to it and fed it Apples of Gold. They are King’s food.
He released the chains that held her. Suddenly, she lifted her head and a Light came into her eyes. She tossed her head and saw that she was free to RUN.
There were no fences here. For once in her life she was free! As she ran with Joy in the Spirit all the wounds she had suffered were healed.
Some of you might remember an old group from the 70’s called, “America” and they had a hit song, “Horse with No Name.”
Well, the horse The LORD shows me has a Name — and it is called by a New Name.
This is you, Child of God!
You are not a “no name” — but Abba Father has given you a New Name!
This post is not what I had planned, but The Holy Spirit knows.
He knows who will read this. This is for someone today.
God stopped me in my tracks, to let you know He is bringing GLORY out of your pain. From the place of defeat to the Realms of JOY UNSPEAKABLE! The abusers shall pay!
Here is what The LORD says to you, “Beloved, I will contend with those who contend with you.
For many years your abuser thought they had gotten away with the violence and the cruelty.
You have been mistreated regularly and repeatedly and in unspeakable ways.
Never forget that I have always had GOOD plans for your life. But there are people who have been influenced, yes, even possessed by evil. They made that choice, they chose the way of death and rejected Life.
They chose cursing instead of blessing. They chose violence and abuse instead of the Way of the Spirit.
You were not responsible for their choices. Though they had many chances, they would not listen to The Holy Spirit and repeatedly rejected your Savior’s Grace.
I know you have been confused in your mind, and you ask, “Why me?”
I know, My Child. I wept tears of compassion on earth for the death and destruction that the enemy brought into the world.
I AM well acquainted with your grief, sorrow and pain. I too was violently abused, rejected, spat upon, ridiculed and torn apart.
You feel as if a part of you is forever crushed and destroyed.
But know this, My Child. You are Mine. It is by My Wounds you are healed. Though you are crushed in spirit and body and mind, I make you whole.
The devil comes but to kill, steal, and destroy, but I came to bring you Life and Life abundantly.
You are not the defeated person the abuser tried to form in you. Oh no, Dear One. You are a New Creation.
The old man is dead — the old has passed away — the NEW has come!
You are ALIVE and hidden in Christ Jesus.
Therefore, know this: I hear the cries of the afflicted; I will strengthen your heart.
I will do justice to the motherless and the fatherless and those who lost spouses.
I will vindicate the oppressed. Those who choose terror will strike you no more.
I uphold all who fall, and I raise up all who are bowed down.
I heal the brokenhearted and bind up your wounds.
I give power to the weak, and to those who have no might I increase strength.
I will give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
So remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I AM doing a NEW THING; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
No longer see yourself as a victim for I have made you a victor!
The abuser tried to cover you with a garment of violence, but I AM covering you with a NEW GARMENT OF GRACE.
I will allow no one to oppress you; I will rebuke kings on your behalf, saying, “Touch not My Anointed, and do My Prophet no harm!”
I AM with you as a Dread Champion; therefore your persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed, with an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.
Beloved, these words are Truth. They are set in Stone. A word fitly spoken is like Apples of Gold in settings of Silver.
Watch and see. I will publicly defend you. I will declare and show Whose you are.
I will bring forth your VINDICATION like the dawn, your JUSTICE like the noonday sun.
For My peace, righteousness, security, and victory over opposition is your heritage, My Child.
I will make a laughingstock of your enemies.
For this is the heritage of the servants of The LORD, And your VINDICATION is from Me,” declares The LORD.
“Leave the abusers to Me, My Child. Do not avenge yourselves, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” says The LORD.
“No longer is your spirit broken, Beloved, but you are filled with the Spirit of Freedom and Grace.
They shall no longer muffle your Inner Fire — but I AM kindling that Flame with tongues of Fire.
You shall run in Freedom in your Vindication.
Nations will see it and all rulers of darkness will see your Glory — and you will be called by a New Name that the mouth of The LORD will bestow!”
BREAKING A HORSE’S SPIRIT : Breaking a horse’s spirit” is an outdated and harmful concept referring to old, dominance-based training methods that used fear and pain to crush a horse’s will to resist, making it “tame” and obedient. This often involved using physical restraints, punishments, deprivation, and other forms of torture to dominate the horse and “muffle their inner fire,” The aim was to produce a perfectly obedient but thoughtless riding machine. To crush the emotional strength, spirit, or resistance of.

I don’t know if you’ll look back on this or not, but i hope you do Deborah.
I’ve been rereading this post over and over again for encouragement, especially since the closer we get to this the more turbulent it becomes.
“From the place of defeat to the realms of JOY UNSPEAKABLE!! The abusers shall pay.”
My abusers remain hidden in my building, and wherever I go. Through the internet, and organizations who pay, they multiply. They’re favorite form of bullying is witchcraft. The Lord has been so Gracious toward me through this, it’s been many years now. The other morning after another very dark night, the Lord spoke and said, “They will come crawling to you.” This is Biblical. In Revelation and also Isaiah the Lord confronts this.
I’m waiting to be healed and delivered from much, but especially shame. And when this spirit has a stronghold this gives fair game to Satan and those who are his to abuse, shamefully….
Im holding on to His promises. Last night was a doozy!!
Yes and thank You Lord!! Yes and thank You!!
God bless you beautiful lady!! I hope one day to thank you dace to face and give you a huge hug!!! Until then Lord You do it!!
So Good!!
I was remembering during prayer this morning that you’d posted and I didn’t get a chance to read it, I’d all but forgotten and the Holy Spirit reminded me. So I scrolled back and found the most amazing encouragement, yet again, from His Heart through you…to me.
Thank you beautiful lady!! God bless
This word resonated with my spirit, many things in this word or said that God had already told me. Thank you.
Hallelujah.
Thank you Deborah for this so comforting and powerful word from the Lord. I am weeping as i read it because of the pain am in right now doing warfare against the enemy. The Lord bless you with more of Him to pour out to His bride in these last days we are living in. Blessings to you and yours!!!
JESUS! LORD! SAVIOR! Deborah, thank you. I have kept a lot to myself and still keeping it to myself. This opened my eyes so much!
Blessings peace and love to you and yours dear Deborah.
Dear sister Deborah, this spoke right into my heart and soul and even body. Tears started flowing, and while reading further, the inner agreement and being touched by all of your genuine comforts, accompanied and proven by The Holy WORD of GOD – I am more than thankful that you have put this all out of your loving and caring heart, through your hands writing on your home computer, to bring this out to a sister in a far distant continent. I am sure, this high encouragement, these apples of gold from above, are speaking to some others on all continents, too. GOD BLESS YOU and reward your precious heart and soul.
Yes Marion, thank you so much, for you speak for me as well, and express it so much better than I could ever have. ❤️
May God richly bless you dear Deborah, for your love and faithfulness. Accept my praises from a grateful heart, Dear Lord—love You so much.
overshare moment..sorry…
last night I was listening to worship music in my home..volume all the way up. going thru playlist and finding new music…
im 48 years old. i married him at 22.
i could never listen to my music in my home. in the car. even in headphones (I’d be mocked)
i was listening to the music full volume cranked up. signing and dancing.
and it dawned on me…I was free. it never registered w me while I was married to him the things I wasn’t allowed to do…or I couldn’t do because he would make things horrifically impossible on me
25 years like this…
it’s been almost a year since I divorced him. and I just realized that…
and how many other things I couldn’t do…or I stopped doing…or was bullied into dropping…or the happy things that were twisted into a weapon to wound me with…
singing and dancing in my living room w the volume cranked up I saw myself free with the wind blowing thru my hair…for a split second…
the level of undone is too difficult to describe…
oooh. oh. this… undone. I was married to a cruel abusive narcissist for 25 years. God opened my eyes and made a very clear way out for me.
he was very very very cruel. not just abusive…cruel.
i divorced him last December.
the apple.. that’s a thing between me and God. apple of his eye. it’s a promise he gave me…and a vision and a thrift store picture of an apple…wish I could post it here lol? apples…
the horse… oh Jesus. it was a dream about a maverick. Google the history of maverick horses.
the horse… i was always told I was a wild horse (in a bad way…that I was too much and wouldn’t submit..)
I’m undone right now.
i needed this so badly… i stayed up till midnight because I kept feeling like God was nudging me that he had a word for me.
Powerful word in due season!
Deborah I needed this reminder TODAY. Blessings and love.
