OVERCOMER SLAY APOLLYON
As Moses went up to meet God, God called down to him from the mountain: “Speak to the House of Jacob, tell the People of Israel: ‘You have seen what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to me. If you will listen obediently to what I say and keep my covenant, out of all peoples you’ll be my special treasure. The whole Earth is mine to choose from, but you’re special: a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.’ “This is what I want you to tell the People of Israel.” Exodus 19:3-6
As I read these verses, I am reminded of a time in my life over two decades ago when The Lord opened a door that could only be seen as a miracle. He literally carried my little family and I on His Wings to a new place exactly seven hours and one state away. The Lord moved us not only physically, but to a place where we could mature spiritually.
Overcomer, a door of maturity awaits you. Are you ready to become a Kingdom Priest?
The Spirit of God showed me the “door” the other night, but in order to walk through this new door, you must deal with the “the fringe”.
YAH, first mentioned “the fringe” to me a few years ago and I was taken back to that sci-fi television show in the early 2000. However, the fringe he was seeking can only be considered as the tassels on the corner of the Israelite’s garments in the Old Testament, “You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.”
The LORD said to Moses,“Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the hems of their garments throughout their generations, and put a cord of blue on the tassel of each hem. Numbers 15:37-38 AMP
Your priesthood is in the horizon. Many are camped just inside Canaan, but it’s time to move and take dominion by putting the enemy under your feet.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet.” – Psalms 8:6
In my journey, I discovered my garment tassels were being held hostage by an enormous beast with scales like a fish and wings like a dragon. When I came upon him in a dream, he was asleep. The moment I approached him, one of his yellow eyes opened and it startled me awake!
I prayed about waking this sleeping dragon for a long time without an answer. Eventually, it became clear. I was to face him or become spiritual stuck! He is known by the Hebrews as Apollyon.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
We don’t know things are veiled, until we know see the truth. I am here to tell you, we all carry this inner dragon and he resides within every one of us. He is part of our fallen nature. You know him as PRIDE, stubbornness, self-protection and selfishness. He is our king who rules but every Overcomer must face him.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Psalm 51:6
It wasn’t until I entered the Spirit realm that I found him. He was hidden in the abyss of my soul. He told me he had been standing in the shadow of my darkness since the very beginning. As he spoke, I knew it was the true. His tail was swishing back and forth while smoke from his nostrils filled the dark cavern between us. I realized I could run as I was easy prey to him, but I knew I couldn’t! Once we know the truth we become responsible for it. I was willing to give up my life knowing this beast was the ruler my soul.
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. John 16:13
In the spirit realm, we are warriors and Our Lion of Judah, Yashua, goes with us. The Word says we are seated in Christ. The Word also says, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, wicked spirits and demon spirits in these heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
YAH wants the body of Christ to rise to that place of dominion where we destroy every stronghold and hinderance within us. Our unity becomes our Promise land on earth! We walk with YAH like Enoch did.
It’s time you establish your seat of authority to conquer every unworthy inhabitant of your soul. God’s Word says we are seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).
I believe it is YAH who has kept that realm hidden from us because the ecclesia has not been ready to come to that place of sonship. I believe YAH is starting with those who have learned to Overcomer. Your are being equipping along your journey so you can equip others. Reach out your hand for your rod and staff ——and if you haven’t faced your Apollyon, do it now!
Has your inner beast backed you into a corner? To avoid offense, you have compromised giving him power in your life!
If so, STOP conceding!
Recognize your weak areas and allow YAH’s light to shine in these hidden areas of darkness within you by walking in the spirit. In all things we are all conquerors through Him that loved us. Romans 8:7
Eventually, I stood my ground dressed as a warrior, gripping my sword I stepped forward to meet Apollyon. I called him by name, “Apollyon, you do not have authority here any longer for I am a daughter of the Most High King and He is My Alpha & Omega!” In hearing this, he snorts and steps out of the shadows, knowing he can crush me at any moment. Quickly, I thrust my sword at him which made him fall backwards. I seized the opportunity, and stabbed him in the belly slicing him wide open on the threshing floor!
Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 2 Samual 24:18
Sounds like a sci-fi novel but YAH is calling you to “Come Up Higher”. Come out of agreement with this prideful beast. Slay Him! Take down his alter with your sword! And then your are free to sit with Christ adorned in your priestly garments of blue fringe [tassels].
I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days (God) took His seat; His garment was white as snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was flames of fire; Its wheels were a burning fire. Daniel 7:9
We are told in His Word that the key to leading a life called by God is to become a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners” Hebrews 7:26.
David wrote, I have sworn and I will confirm it, that I will keep your righteous ordinances. Depart from me, evidence that I may observe the commandments of my God. Psalm 119;105;115
You are…a royal priesthood… —1 Peter 2:9
Barnabas, the man of God in Acts 11:23, encouraged the early church to uncompromisingly cling to the Lord with a resolute truthful heart.
All across the world YAH is rising Overcomer’s.
But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered the cloud. —Luke 9:34 (Weymouth New Testament)
Let me ask in another way…are you having trouble distinguishing between the voice of your spirit and the voice of your soul? Your spirit and soul are two different entities, but only YAH’s Word can separate them for you! As you begin renewing your mind with God’s Word, you are positioning yourself to follow God’s Voice within your heart—your spirit—is connected to God’s spirit with confidence in every situation over your life!
You don’t have to do anything, buy anything or compromise yourself to receive from God. This divine content is done by YAH Himself. He does the planting within our soul extending way down into the roots. Our roots are struck deep and nothing can overthrow this move of God! The gift of God is within the soul.
But it’s up to us to begin…. Worshipping the Lord to slay your inner beast. This is the season for you!
When God strikes your soul’s root from on high ….He comes to enrich it, to empower it, to illuminate it, and to glorify it, and more. Be excited—-It is a well that never runs dry. His water never stops flowing! Hell's poisons cannot reach it, neither change it’s condition affect by God! Hallelujah! Thank you Yashua!
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” – John 16:13 (NIV)
YAH’s wonderful word is truly a lamp unto our feet and a light to our pathway (see Psalm 119:105). Pick up your rod and staff and mediate on the following verses:
Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him. —Mark 9:15 (Weymouth New Testament)
And immediately all the crowd, when they saw Jesus [returning from the holy mount, His face and person yet glistening], they were greatly amazed and ran up to Him [and] greeted Him. —Mark 9:15 (AMPC)
All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, “What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out.” —Mark 9:15
And they were all amazed and said to one another, What kind of talk is this? For with authority and power He commands the foul spirits and they come out! —Luke 4:36 (AMPC)
Profound and reverent fear seized them all, and they began to recognize God and praise and give thanks, saying, A great Prophet has appeared among us! And God has visited His people [in order to help and care for and provide for them]! —Luke 7:16 (AMPC)
But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud. —Luke 9:34
But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and discerned and estimated and appreciated. But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquiries into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. —1 Corinthians 2:11-16 (AMPC)
If you earnestly desire to become a Kingdom Priest, whisper this prayer of thanksgiving and gratitude out-loud into your atmosphere and get ready to slay your inner dragon.
Prayer:
Wonderful Lord O’mighty Yahweh, thank YOU for Your tender mercies and great goodness. Thank you for your son Yashua. Please open my spiritual eyes what’s hidden in the abyss of my soul. Unplug my spiritual ears to hear all that You say and to give me the grace to obey swiftly with boldness like a warrior. Release to me Your higher, divine wisdom and knowledge to navigate my growth into maturity. I ask You, Father YAH to release breakthrough upon my spirit so that I may become an Overcomer! Father God, I ask you to restore hope within my heart! I pray for alignment with Yashua so I may slay my inner Apollyon as I seek humility as a pillar in my life. I pray this in your glorious Name of YASHUA Amen!
