The Restraining Order

In the time of war or battle, neither side wants to reveal their plans or show their hand to soon.  In any situation the surprise attack is considered to be the most effective plan of attack.

But God is so far above the natural mind and way of thinking of men and the kingdom of darkness.  He actually told us from the beginning what would be.  He laid out his plan from beginning to end.
This is the confidence he had and we can have in him.  His timetable is complete, it will not be changed or altered.  He has shown the way, it is not hidden or in special code but it is in his Word and it is made known to us by the Holy Spirit and received through faith and revelation.

He foretold about the 400 years the children of Israel would spend in slavery in Egypt.  He brought Moses onto the scene just at the right time even though the enemy knew that a deliver was going to born and tried to kill all the babies - Moses was kept safe.  God's plan still prevailed.

Daniel and the other Prophets in the old covenant knew God's plan and timetable.

God foretold about the birth of the Jesus and nothing could stop that.  Even when they tried to kill Jesus, they could not touch him for it was not his time to die.  But at the appointed time Jesus gave his life.  According to God's timetable and plan not man's nor satan's.

When the day of Pentecost was fully come the Holy Spirit was sent. As foretold now the Gospel would be preached to the Gentles.

Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would come and dwell in us and he would teach us all things and show us things to come.  Men can try to reason and understand the bible with their own understanding and their limited human intelligence but true revelation comes through the Holy Spirit.

As foretold kingdoms of the world have risen and fallen according to God's timetable.  As throughout all history God's timetable still remains unchanged.

There is no doubt that the Anti-Christ's plans are in preparation - like a baby in the womb - they are developing, but they are not ready to be born yet. They are premature and cannot come forth at this time.  Because there is a restraining order placed on the Anti-Christ and his plans.

The Church is the restraining force and until we are removed, taken out of the way - there remains a work to be done.  People are lost and dying and the Church is called to Preach the Gospel of the Kingdom.  That Jesus Christ is the Saviour, the Healer, the Baptiser in the Holy Ghost and Fire and that He is the King of kings and He is Coming Again.

In prayer and fasting the Holy Spirit put it in my heart to speak to the Global plans and every attempt to induce the Anti-Christ agendas and plans in the earth, he told me to speak to it and say You are Premature, you cannot come forth at this time and he told me to cut of everything and everyone who was trying to induce these plans.   And Decree that this is the time of Grace this is the time of Salvation This is the time for a great Harvest of Souls to be brought into the Kingdom of God.  This is the time to Go Forth and Preach the Gospel like never before.  And I heart the words - Enforce my Restraining Order.

 As always I asked the Holy Spirit to give me scriptures to confirm that this was from him.  He reminded me of Esther, when the King told her to make a new decree.  Also when Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  But the scripture that really blew my mind is found in 2 Thessalonians 2v7.  I always read the King James version which says "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work;  only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way"  but this time I read the New King James Version so I had never seen it this way before it said "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way".  In this verse Jesus is talking about the Anti-Christ that would come in the last days and His Church which is the restraining order and the rapture the taking away of the Church.

He reminded me of when I was expecting my daughter 22 years ago.  I did not know the voice of God as well at that time, and there were a lot of things happening in my life to distract me.  I remember the doctors saying that they would induce me to bring forth the birth as they felt it was time.  But for weeks, the scripture that says  "there is a time to be born and a time to die" had been ringing in my ears.  I didn't understand, but on the morning I was going into the hospital I had a strong feeling that something was wrong and this induction was not going to work.  I dismissed it, because that day was my grandmother's funeral and I had so many strong emotions to deal with.  I remember saying to the nurse as she took me to the labour ward, that I didn't think this was going to work, but she just assured me that it will work and everything will be ok.  But everything was not ok.  My doctor was on holiday and there was a young doctor on call.  He kept insisting that the baby wouldn't be born without lots of pain.  I kept saying that I have had 2 children before, both totally natural births with no complications.  But he kept increasing the drip to increase the contractions.  This went on all day, until I was in great distress.  When my parents arrived at the hospital that evening after the funeral expecting to see their new grandchild, the nurses explained the situation and told them that mother and baby were getting distressed, and they were watching closely, in case an emergency section would be needed.  But my Father told them to speak to whoever they needed to speak to and take away all drips etc and let me rest.  I was so relieved as they took me back the normal ward to sleep.  The next morning one of the mid wife's who was quite concerned brought another doctor, more experienced to see me.  This doctor knew right away what was wrong.  There was a sac of fluid in the way - the doctor said let me remove it and I promise your baby will be born today.  And true to her word, once that was removed my daughter was born very quickly.

We cannot deny that evil is being planned and global plans are in preparation but we must stand in the Light of  the Word of God.  We must remember that we are members of the body of Christ, the Church, that we have been given the great commission and the authority to declare the Word of God and stand as the restraining order against the plans of not just THE Anti-Christ that will come in God's time but every anti-christ spirit.  That is everything that opposes, denies, objects  to or attempts to stand in the way of anything that Jesus Christ was anointed to do.

The world has been brought to its knees by fear - but God's word tells us that He has NOT given us a spirit of fear but of power, of love and a sound mind.  It doesn't take faith or any gift of discernment to see what the kingdom of darkness is up to, BUT God told us in Hebrews 5v14 "But solid food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."   When we see the enemies plan we must ask God - "What do you say about this?" and then rise up in his strength and fire.   If we get focused on what the enemy is doing we will get distracted, fearful and back of from the battle.  But when we have our eyes fixed on God - he will lead us into victory.

Walking by faith is not walking in the dark but rather walking in the Light.  Like Elijah, who was able to be one step ahead of the enemy of Israel.  Like Paul on the ship which was going down, God gave him instructions, so that not one life was taken in that shipwreck.

 I have a great urgency in my spirit to warn God's people to stay alert, do not be deceived at this time.  God has given a time for his people to repent and return to him completely and wholeheartedly to make the decision to believe his Word no matter what the cost may be.  Because we are about to enter a time that only those who are grounded and rooted in truth will be able to stand.

Those that serve the Lord and love him and love his word  will walk under the shelter of his wing, everyday, living in his blessing, favour and protection.  We can claim the promises of God, we can stand in confidence and live in and experience Psalm 91 and Psalm 123.

And As Jesus said in Mark 16 v 15v18 - "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
