Yesterday, Tamara and her sister, Vanessa went on a hike with me up Mount Sanitas. This is very prophetic because Mt. Sanitas is the location where people traveled all over the world to come for healing on Tuberculosis. It is also the midway point for the mountain range that lines the western end of Boulder Valley.
So, we went up, and I had my shofar with me. At the top, we met a couple of Jewish folks who knew exactly what it was. We took turns blowing it over the valley. There was something way cool about having Jewish people blow my shofar (in agreement whether they knew it or not) over Boulder. It was funny how that shofar attracted all kinds of conversations. I should take it out more often.
Anyway, as we were about to come down, I had the thought to anoint the mountain with my oil. I had brought some with me.
It occurred to me that dogs like to mark their territories everywhere. They pee on bushes, poles, mailboxes, etc. to mark their domain. Well, that’s exactly what the LORD was showing me. We were there announcing ourselves and marking our territory. I had prophesied Jesus’ Kingdom over the valley on top; I had blown the shofar, and now, I was marking the territory with oil.
And, this marking was that midway point. A house divided cannot stand. Our prophetic act divided the house of the wolves, and wolves are dogs and know about that peeing thing to mark territory. We divided their house, and it will not stand.
This was way cool revelation.
Also, on the way up, Tamara got stung by a bee, and then I got stung. The devil was none too happy about what we were about to do. We should have done a better job getting in the LORD’s presence with some worship and prayer. I will remember that one next time.
So, the battle line has been drawn. We issued the first shot and divided the enemy’s territory in half. The Word of God says that it wont stand. His house has to fall. It is written, so shall it be.
